Chapter 948: The First Battle of Goguryeo (Medium)
Chapter 949
"General, small Chengguan, why do you need the general to go out in person, wait for us to rush and kill, and retrieve thousands of heads to celebrate the general's achievements?" Brother Cave stood next to Li Ji and said with a grin.
In the ruined place of Goguryeo, he had to take people to kill a few times back and forth in his territory every year, and captivate countless Goguryeo civilians to trade with Li Chengqian.
When he first arrived here some time ago, Brother Cave wanted to make a head, but he was stopped by Li Ji because he didn't have siege equipment, and now he ...... His Majesty Li Er's army was not far behind, and there was no shortage of various siege weapons, and Brother Cave couldn't think of any reason for Li Ji to stop him.
However, after all, Brother Cave is just a Khitan guard, and he still doesn't know much about some things in the officialdom, and he didn't think about what would happen if he didn't make meritorious contributions in the First World War, and he was not the only one whose ability was doubted at that time, and Li Ji, a veteran of the killing field, was afraid that he would also be implicated by him.
Li Ji didn't answer Brother Dong's words, but just looked at Liaodong City not far away and asked lightly: "Governor Li, I seem to have heard you say some time ago that there seem to be many thatched huts in this Liaodong City?" ”
"Yes, the outskirts of this city are full of poor people, and it would be nice to have a hut where you can afford a big house." Brother Cave nodded, feeling a little dissatisfied with Li Ji in his heart, and always felt that Li Ji was afraid that he would make a contribution, so when he spoke, he inevitably brought out a trace of dissatisfaction.
Li Ji is not a fool, listening to Brother Cave's seemingly complaining speech, how can he not know that he has dissatisfaction in his heart, and while secretly laughing at these alien stinginess in his heart, he said in his mouth: "Li Dudu begged for the battle spirit to know it, and the warriors of the Khitan warriors also knew, but there is an old saying in the Central Plains, calling steel good for use on the blade, I don't know if Li Dudu has heard it?" ”
"Of course, I know." Brother Cave said with his neck in his neck, for fear of showing his cowardice in front of Li Ji.
In fact, he knows that 'good steel is used on the blade', and in his opinion, good steel must be used to make a steel knife.
"Since Governor Li knows, he should naturally know the meaning." Li Ji just relied on this folk saying to lead the topic, he didn't care whether the cave brother knew it or not, and after picking up the conversation, he continued: "The Khitan warriors are steel, so they must be used where they are most needed, and they can indeed be captured by attacking them hard, but if there is a more labor-saving method, doesn't the governor want to try?" It's always good to have a few fewer deaths, right? ”
"What does the general mean......" Brother Cave was stunned for a moment, of course he knew that it was a good thing to be able to die a few fewer people, but where are the immortals in the war?
"Governor, see how the weather is going to be?" Inexplicably, Li Ji turned the topic to the weather, which made Brother Cave a little inexplicable, and with his words, he looked up at the sky and said, "If you are not mistaken, I am afraid that there will be strong winds in the past two days, what's wrong?" ”
"The Governor is really good, just by the celestial statue, I know that there will be a strong wind in these two! In this case, Du Du cut back and asked the sons to prepare well, and wait until the day the wind rises, which is the time to attack the city! Li Ji stroked his beard under his chin and said with a smile.
As a result, Brother Cave was blushed by Li Ji's praise, and said: "What kind of ability is this, if you can't see the weather in the next few days, how will the clansmen go into the mountains to hunt, General Li is exaggerating." ”
This product is also a sincere person, and he can't hold words in his stomach, maybe this is the nature of the Khitan family.
felt that Li Ji was cheating on him, so he was dissatisfied, Li Ji didn't care about him, turned his head and praised him, and made him feel a little embarrassed, feeling that he was too calculating, I have to say, Brother Cave is really a little stupid and cute.
Half an hour later, there was nothing to see on the battlefield, Li Ji and his party went back to the camp, and after the cave brother left, there was immediately a general who followed Li Ji and asked angrily: "General, why should you pay attention to such a barbarian, if he wants to die, you just let him go, if the siege is unfavorable at that time, it will be easy to cut it directly." ”
"Nonsense, the two armies are not in agreement with the most taboo generals, if he is cut down because of the unfavorable siege, how can the tens of thousands of Khitan cavalry be controlled? If you cause a rebellion and miss this crusade, how many heads can you carry down? Li Ji glared at his subordinates and said angrily.
"But even if you don't cut him, it's better for him to go and test the water than for the brothers to try it themselves, right?"
"Naturally, the Khitan people will try to test the waters, and you don't have to doubt or worry about this. During this time, you go back and sort out more things that cause fire, especially rockets, you need to prepare more, and it will be easy to use in a few days to attack the city, understand? Li Ji didn't explain why he was tolerating Brother Cave, but simply instructed his generals to prepare the things they needed to prepare before the siege of the city and let them use two days to prepare them.
He Li Ji is a famous Confucian general in the Tang Dynasty, if the means of rectifying people are so inferior, wouldn't it be a joke, and if it is just because of a few dissatisfied complaints from his subordinates, he immediately sent people out to die, how can such a commander let the people under his command rest assured to follow him.
Li Ji put all these words in his stomach, and did not explain them to his subordinates, first, it was difficult to say, and second, this could leave a generous impression on his subordinates. As for the idiot of Brother Cave, if he can not die in this crusade, he will naturally have a lot of opportunities to repair him in the future, and there is no need to rush at all.
Time passed, two days were fleeting, early in the morning of the third day, the eastern sky had just turned white, the originally sunny weather became windy, and the manic northwest wind blew the whole camp with flags and hunting sounds, and at the same time blew bursts of meat fragrance all over the whole camp.
"It's finally time for a war!" A veteran in his thirties sniffled and said with a little excitement.
"Eighth uncle, how do you know?" Another baby-faced soldier in his twenties approached and asked curiously as he put his gear on his body.
"When did the gang leader cook so early?" Without waiting for the veteran to answer, another man slapped the back of the soldier's head in the back: "Hurry up and tidy up your equipment, remember not to eat too much when you eat for a while, don't be unable to run at that time." ”
"Hey......, hey, Uncle Luo, what are you doing with me, it's because I'm jealous that I'm smarter than Sanwa, right?" Xiao Bing was slanted, hugged the back of his head and complained in a low voice, but he closed his mouth sensibly in the so-called old Uncle Luo's 'cruel smile'.
