257 The Great War is imminent

Chen Tianyi was accompanied by private soldiers and servants, and when he arrived in Baojun, it was convenient to live in the Lotus Pond Manor, which had been repaired for a while. When the people and horses were about to arrive in Baojun, it was already night, and the slaves and friends were already waiting outside the park, and there was a bright lantern in the distance. Li Hu also came to see Chen Tianyi, and when he came, he saw that it was such a scene, and he felt that he couldn't say anything when he saw people, and he was not worried about the situation in Yi County, so he asked Ma Lun to stay and wait to see him, and he returned to the inner city, gathered the forces that could be gathered, and pulled reinforcements to Yi County.

Time flies only in my heart. The thought turned around, and said that he would leave tonight, but in fact, if he wanted to leave, he was afraid that it would be the next day, especially if he was not worried about the two brothers Fang Buting and Fang Buping, he would take them with him. Most of the workers on the construction site come from several counties in the north of the county, Yu is grateful to Li Hu, there is no need to be tied to the canal to serve, the treatment is also good, Yu Gong, Bing Feng pointed out, is his hometown, where is there still the heart to work, take the initiative to follow Li Hu back, and so open the county treasury, give them the equipment and then select, plus the soldiers, private soldiers, the number is still as many as two or three thousand, in the dark night, many people are naked, with torches, a shining body.

The more people gathered, the more afraid the county guard was of Li Hu.

Li Hu was a person who had passed through the army, and he knew the way of the generals, and he could not hear about the number of people, so he thought that the number of people was the measure, and he had to go down to them to understand his morale, courage, physical condition, and equipment in his hands. Fang Buping also had to take the initiative to follow, although he became more and more jealous in his heart, but he was unwilling to let Li Hu come forward alone to comfort him, save all his popularity, and have the will to show up in front of the people Ding Zhuang to win respect...... Ahead of the curve. He is a county guard, he thinks he should walk in front, but he is not as big as Li Hu's steps, and Li Hu does not consciously humble him, that is, Li Hu walked a few steps ahead, he jumped up, walked and gasped, Li Hu walked to the front again, and he jumped up again.

In the crowd, many people were familiar with Li Hu, and greeted Li Hu excitedly, most of them called the owner, a few called the son, the master, and Li Hu asked the most "Are you afraid".

Fang Buping is different, since he was wrapped by Li Hu and lost his original position of "welcoming fields", then he has to stand on the position of "rejecting fields", standing in front of people, he often waved his arms violently: "The government has asked for reinforcements from the state army and neighboring counties, 30,000 soldiers, 50,000 soldiers, 100,000 or 80,000 soldiers." Do not be afraid. Don't run, don't do your duty. The government has everything. Tuli Niu touched Li Hu and reminded him to pay attention to Fang Buping, Li Hu glanced back, but he just smiled, he wouldn't talk about it.

He remembered that his father had told him that to motivate soldiers to fight, either to inspire the confidence that soldiers will win, or to make them reduce their expectations to the minimum, and not to blur between the two, between the two, morale will rise and fall, rise and fall, pride and defeat.

That's what Fang Buping did.

Once the reinforcements from the imperial court do not come, the battle will be miserable. However, Li Hu did not have the need to discuss with him, this kind of officialdom clichΓ©, he said a lot but never fulfilled it, and the people did not believe him, some of them were more serious, but they were just asking him "how many soldiers can come, 30,000, 50,000, 100,000 or 80,000". Monk Dowling also came to join in the fun for some reason. When Li Hu noticed him, he had already approached to greet Li Hu, and when they met, he said that he would help Li Hu relieve the misfortune of the army and resolve the disaster for Shengli, but the monks he brought were all whistle sticks and knives, and their legs were tied.

At this time, Li Hu welcomed him, and the people also welcomed him.

The monks were much more popular than the county guards, and many pointed out to their companions: "The monk is here too." Look. The monk will also go to war with us. Look at that, the one next to the owner, isn't that the Daolin Living Buddha? ”

The crowd erupted in cheers.

Some people who have already believed in religion chased after them and asked, "Buddha Daolin, since you are also here, do you have the will of the Buddha?" ”

Dowling turned his head and responded, "Yes." ”

Someone asked, "Can we win those armies?" ”

Seeing Li Hu glancing at him, Dao Lin preached, "Of course. Li Hu Gongzi is the reincarnation of the King Kong Venerable in the West, who can subdue and sweep away a qiΔ“ demon. ”

In the shock of the crowd, Li Hu laughed.

Dowling followed Li Hu to a secluded place and asked him, "That's all these people, when will you leave?" ”

Li Hu pointed to him, there was an earthen stove woven in the open space, and he was burying a pot for cooking, after all, it was not an army, there was no decent logistics, people had to bring dry food and water with them, and they didn't leave, they had to cook rice repeatedly, and then beat the people.

Dowling nodded repeatedly.

He took the initiative to say, "Yes, wait." The gentry in the county are not yet firm, not that Chen Tianyi is going to come to mediate with you, and the original heart is not firm again, they all ran to take a look, wanting to know what he holds, after all, he has a mission and represents the state army and the state capital. ”

Li Hu nodded.

Dowling reminded again: "You and Chen Tianyi will not be classmates. Some time ago, you had a discord with him, it was a big mistake, although the Zhu family is not deeply rooted in the officialdom, but it is a family that reaches the heavenly court, and has a wide range of good relationships, and a lot of money, and it is also one of the best families in the state. ”

He said, "Isn't there someone under you?" Let them stay and do it, and you and I will pick him up at their manor? You need to know that once he is on your side, he will have the status of a thief and his power will be greatly increased. ”

Li Hu refused, saying: "He should be on our side, we are lining up to meet him, it is too time-consuming, I have already sent a horse wheel to find him." ”

Dowling asked rhetorically: "You see the same as the horse wheel?" ”

Li Hu said firmly: "Is it a queue to see you, he will stand on our side, he is not stupid?" ”

Dowling smiled: "He's not stupid, so he doesn't necessarily stand on our side, who are you on your side?" A little unrooted county Sima, a boy from the field, even if he admits that you are a generation of heroes, and on the other side, who is on the other side? That's what the Sewanaka clan has worked so hard to manage...... His own family Tian Wengan saw that he had already entered the cabinet. As long as he doesn't rebel openly, and the emperor doesn't personally intervene, does the Zhu family take the initiative to bite someone's house? ”

Li Hu let out an "oh" and asked rhetorically: "Once the enemy army is allowed to defeat Yixian and Baojun, how does he know that Tian Qimin will not rebel?" ”

Dowling sighed: "So this is also the reason why the state army arranged for the Zhu family's sister-in-law to come. They are all gatekeepers in Guanzhong, and they can naturally talk to each other well, even if Tian Qimin is really opposed, the state army still hopes to persuade them to turn back. Do you think that if you offend the Prime Minister's family, the best gate lord family in the world, the state army will dare? It is inevitable to fight each other, pinch to death, but they are afraid of each other in their hearts. ”

Li Hu said: "This is not necessarily. ”

Dowling didn't know where he got his confidence, so he suddenly had an idea and said with a smile: "Why don't we gamble?" ”

Li Hu hesitated for a moment, and preemptively said, "If I lose, I will donate a large amount of sesame oil money to you." ”

Dowling was stunned: "Donate money? ”

Li Hu knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "If you lose." Help me sell the stone tools to Weber. ”

Dowling was afraid that he would regret not gambling, so he agreed.

The two of them turned around one after another and looked into the crowd.

Fang Buping walked over step by step.

He showed surprise, went straight to Li Hu's direction, and when he arrived, he asked, "Is the meal fine grain and meat?" ”

Li Hu glanced at Dao Lin and said in amazement: "What's the matter?" ”

Fang Buping said: "They all say that the official family pays for it, let the official family pay? ”

Li Hu asked rhetorically: "What's the problem?" ”

Fang Buping lowered his voice and said, "How much money can the government have for them to eat and drink like this?" I have heard from your people, and I want to make them up? ”

Dowling replied for Li Hu: "How can you not make people eat better in war? If you don't make a sign, it's just a plate of loose sand......"

Fang Buping said excitedly: "After the signing, will it not be disbanded?" Is that disbanding if you want to? The county is in service and provides money and food for the imperial court, and also supports Shi Jingsun's battalion, and you have to sign thousands of people to support you, and you don't want the county to bear the ...... for you."

Li Hu was stunned for a moment.

Dowling sneered and said, "The government raises soldiers and doesn't let you pay your own money? ”

Fang Buping stared at him hostilely.

He may have guessed that Dowling had betrayed him, or maybe just for this sentence, he categorically shouted: "The government still has money?" To seize the people, to seize the people and drive the seedlings, do you Li Hu also want to have this day. ”

Li Hu stared at him with interest.

Maybe people are two-faced.

But Li Hu didn't make any reply, after the signing, he was going to disband, but he had no obligation to explain to Fang Buping.

Someone came over and came close and said, "Owner." The horse wheel is back. ”

Li Hu turned his head and saw the horse wheel that had come back after seeing Chen Tianyi, remembered the bet he had made with Monk Daolin, and hurriedly set aside Fang Buping and took a step forward.

When he noticed Xiong Zun coming together, Xiong Zun had already stepped forward.

He made an unstandard salute, took out a letter and said, "Brother Hu." This is a letter from our military gate to you. ”

Li Hu took the letter in his hand and turned his gaze at Ma Lun, in his opinion, Chen Tianyi's proposition could be revealed through Ma Lun's face, but Ma Lun shook his head slightly.

People say that brothers work together, and their profits are broken...... Li Hu has high hopes for him, and the contradictions in getting along with each other will not affect their positions and feelings.

The words can be made clear, people can also meet, why did Chen Tianyi write a letter?

Xiong Zun interrupted his thoughts and said with a smile: "An older sister of my own family, I want to know if you are one of her classmates, and she deliberately took advantage of the absence of the clan uncle to follow me, and she is looking forward to seeing you." ”

A shadow looms.

Li Hu fell into deep thought, and then he said categorically: "No." The big war is imminent, and there is no time to arrange. ”R1058
