In other words, it doesn't matter how many people come, the key is whether to come or not, in the eyes of many bigwigs in Chengdu, this military operation is not a temptation, eradicating the Shouwang who is not in Zhongtong wants to be completely calm, and one or two "chickens" are needed to Liwei, it is conceivable that if they have a little delay this time, I am afraid that after Shouwang returns to Chengdu, he will definitely take them as soon as possible.

It is precisely because of this understanding that those bigwigs learned that King Shou called soldiers and horses into the mountains to suppress bandits, they immediately issued orders to their respective subordinate agencies to send men and horses, to show their attitude, anyway, for the success of this military operation, all the bigwigs are not the slightest interest, success is the credit of King Shou, they can also sell King Shou's personal favor by the way, if it fails, they also send soldiers and horses to help King Shou, when the time comes, they can't blame them.

Perhaps in order to alleviate everyone's low mood, Liu Ran looked at the more than ten people who led the troops present, and after receiving Li Qing's signal, he said: "Rest assured, as early as an hour and a half ago, the city defense army's Shi Brigade Marshal has led more than 200 soldiers under him to attack the mountain, compared to the first mountain gate has been captured now, now there is still an hour and a half before sunset, when the time comes, all the armies will go together, it is expected that even if the bandits of the Dragon and Tiger Village are fierce, they will not be able to stop our offensive."

Before sunset, you will definitely be able to welcome back Princess Shou safely, and everyone present at that time will be meritorious people, and not only you will be rewarded at that time, but even your family members behind you will be rewarded.

The generals who were originally still hesitant heard Liu Ran's words, and the current Shou Wang, who was sitting in the first place, did not open his mouth to object, but chose to acquiesce, and everyone who understood Shou Wang's attitude was full of emotion, and they were all low because they felt that this military operation was a thankless thing, and they had lost the lives of their brothers in vain, if they won, it would be okay, if they failed, it would be impossible for everyone to put the responsibility for failure on the high Shou Wang, and they low-level officers have undoubtedly become the best scapegoats!

Now seeing King Shou give them this promise, how can they not do their best, the so-called: there must be brave men under the heavy reward, at this moment do not say that it is a mere dragon and tiger village, even if it is the border army that has experienced a real bloody battle of life and death standing in front of them, as long as King Shou gives an order, they dare to come forward and fight!

I saw one of them, an old man with half-white hair and a beard in the military uniform of the captain, stood up, patted the table in front of him, and promised Li Qing with a fist: "Your Highness, although you can rest assured, a mere bandit will not be able to make any climate for them, this time I will do my best to welcome back the princess safely!" “

With a wave of his hand, he said heroically: "As long as King Shou gives an order, Captain Bendu will lead more than 300 brothers under his command to start attacking the mountain and assist Brother Shi Hao to take down the Dragon and Tiger Village in one fell swoop!" ”

Looking at the old man who seemed to have changed in an instant, Li Qing still stood up and pretended to appreciate the old man who seemed to have changed in an instant, although he felt extraordinary emotion in his heart, and said with a pretending to be appreciative: "Lord Du Wei is too polite, Du Wei's heart is understood by this king, if it is necessary, Lord Du Wei and his brothers will definitely have a place to use force!" ”

For this person, Li Qing naturally has a trace of impression, this person is a lieutenant under Liu Ran, and it is a chess piece specially selected by the Xian Yu brothers to balance the Liu family's father and son, this person has served in the Yamen for many years in Jiedu, and has accumulated a lot of contacts around him, even if the current Liu Ran is his boss, I am afraid that there are not as many people who can be mobilized, and it is precisely because of this that in many cases, Liu Ran has to act according to this person's vision.

Seeing this person's performance just now, Li Qing naturally knew that this person was a person who could not afford to be unprofitable, and in the eyes of this person, he only had interests, and now he was not afraid of such a person, and such a person was to make good use of it.

And seeing this old man expressed his position for the first time, the rest of the people were naturally unwilling, and they all stood up and expressed their attitudes, as long as Li Qing was at this moment, even if they were alone, they would have the courage to level the Dragon and Tiger Village.

But at this time, a Jianmen sergeant dressed in Mingguang armor and equipped with a Tang knife at his waist walked to the front of the hall in a panic, looked at the excited generals, hesitated for a while and finally said in fear: "Your Highness, when the people and horses led by the commander of the Shi Brigade to attack the mountain passed through a huge forest, they were ambushed and suffered heavy losses, almost half of the soldiers and horses were lost. ”

And the originally noisy tent fell into a deathly silence at this moment, like a graveyard, and the generals who were originally talking about it were silent at the moment, as if they were not the people who had just opened their mouths and said that they were going to destroy the Dragon and Tiger Village!

Hearing this, the joints of the hands hidden in the sleeves couldn't help but turn white, and after calming down his thoughts, Li Qing said calmly: "Where is Shi Lushuai now?" ”

Seeing that King Shou was not as angry on the spot as he imagined, this person couldn't help but secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his hand, lowered his head, and replied in a low voice: "Shi Lushuai is outside the tent at the moment, he keeps saying that he can't stand His Highness, he is ashamed of His Highness's weight, and the brothers who killed him died in vain!" ”

Ignoring the guard, Li Qing walked towards the tent on the spot, and the head of the green moth guard who was inseparable from Li Qing on the side naturally followed behind Li Qing, for fear of any accident.

Lifted the curtain, looking at the simple stretcher in front of him that was made by two soldiers with only two logs and a few ropes, there were dozens of knife wounds and sword wounds Shi Hao, if this kind of injury was placed on ordinary people, I am afraid that I would have called my father and mother, but Shi Haoleng, who had passed the age of standing, was as dull as Li Qing and his first meeting, clenched his teeth, and was stunned and did not shout.

Seeing Li Qing's figure from a distance, he still wanted to struggle to get up, but his injuries were too serious, and after struggling several times without success, he finally resigned himself to lying on the stretcher, waiting for Li Qing's arrival.

Walked in front of Shi Hao. Even if he hadn't experienced the battle just now, the bloody aura that rushed in his face and Shi Hao's tragic situation at the moment, Li Qing could already imagine the tragedy of this battle.

Looking at Shi Hao, who was just a simple bandage, Li Qing held Shi Hao's hands full of old Jiang, and said comfortingly: "Rest assured, this king knows that you have done your best, rest assured, this king's promise will always remain the same, whether this success or not, you are the commander of the city defense army!" ”

Seeing that Li Qing actually said this, Shi Hao struggled to explain: "Your Highness, what my subordinates want is not to be a general, all I want is for my brothers to live a good life, but now because of me, more than half of my brothers are killed and injured, how can I face the families of these brothers!" ”

"The subordinates are not convinced, if the two armies are facing each other in a dignified manner, even if they are defeated, we will be convinced, but who would have thought that they dug traps in the woods on the way up the mountain, and distributed archers under the cover of the dense forest, which are all quenched bows and arrows, just like that, we haven't even seen the enemy's face, and more than half of them have been killed and wounded!" Speaking of this, Shi Hao was already excitedly tugging on Li Qing's sleeves with both hands, and the undried blood stains on his hands were also stained on Li Qing's neat sleeves, but Li Qing was unaware of this.

Who would have thought that a rugged man who had passed the age of standing would leave tears in front of Li Qing, saying that men don't flick when they have tears, and the fiasco at this moment really hit Shi Hao in front of him very hard.

After calming Shi Hao's emotions, Li Qing opened his mouth and said: "Don't worry, all your brothers and injured people will be treated by the best medical officer, the military camp is not, the king will collect it in Longquan Town, and if there is no king in Longquan Town, the medical officer from Chengdu will be transferred, Chengdu is not enough, so the king will call on the medical officer of Jiannan Province as the envoy of Jiannan Province, and all the brothers who died in battle, this king will definitely be buried thickly, and Lingwai will also give their families a settlement fee!" ”

Seeing that Li Qing was thinking so thoughtfully, Shi Hao struggled to get up and promised Li Qing: "Your Highness will do your best to us today, if you send in the future, the 2,500 soldiers of our city defense army will be regarded as a sea of swords and fires, and they will not be mistaken!" “

And the generals of the various armies who followed behind Li Qing now saw Shi Hao's tragedy and involuntarily shrunk their necks, secretly glad that it was not themselves who suffered heavy casualties this time, this injury is not something that everyone can face as calmly as Shi Hao!

Looking at the two soldiers carrying Shi Hao, he waved his hand and ordered: "Send men and horses to escort Shi Brigade Marshal back to Chengdu, find the best medical officer for treatment, and take care of him along the way!" ”

Without waiting for the two soldiers to respond, Shi Hao, who was on the stretcher, spoke again: "Your Highness, this injury of my subordinates is nothing, if I can't witness the destruction of Longhu Village with my own eyes this time, I and my brothers can't swallow this breath, and I ask Your Highness to allow me to stay here!" ”

Seeing Shi Hao speak, Li Qing no longer refused, and nodded his head to show his agreement!

Looking at the generals of the various armies trembling slightly behind him, he suppressed the disdain in his heart, clenched his fists, vented his inner anger, and said quietly after calming down for a while: "You enter the palm of your hand and discuss the plan to attack the mountain in detail, no matter what, this dragon and tiger village must be destroyed!" ”
