Myeongho hurriedly asked, "What do you say?" ”

Li Buqi said: "Since the thieves want to tattoo the faces of all the people in the city, it means that they are worried that there are people in the city who are not of the same heart as them. Now that those people are tattooed on their faces, they are naturally worried that the court will condemn them, and they dare not dare not confront the court. If they were told that the court knew the reason, and only punished the chief evil, without asking about coercion, there would definitely be many people who would go astray, and even help the court fight back. ”

Myeongho said, "Reasonable. Is there a way for Li Junjian to do it? ”

Li Buqi said: "There are so many people in the city, there are always those who are unwilling to follow the thief. In the past few days, people have put up banners in places where the people of the city can see clearly, and it is written on them, 'Only the chief evil will be punished, and no one will be asked,' and at the same time people have copied letters of persuasion and shot arrows into the city. Even if it can't lead people to sacrifice the city, it's good to disturb the hearts of the enemy. ”

Ming Ho immediately said to Gao Jilong: "This plan is very good, and I will order someone to implement it immediately." ”

Then he asked Li Buqi: "Which side do you think is the best way to attack the city from in the siege?" ”

Li Buqi didn't want to take responsibility, and immediately pushed 625: "Xiaguan has not even seen siege warfare, how dare you talk nonsense?" However, Xia Guan heard that when Hebei Junzhou built the city, the northern city wall was the strongest among the four city walls because it was facing the Liao State. And as I saw just now, the northern wall is indeed the tallest, and this needs to be considered when attacking the city. ”

Myeongho nodded: "That makes sense." The defense of Beizhou City is indeed strong, and how to attack the old man still needs to be carefully planned. After speaking, he signaled to return to the camp, and after dismounting at Yuanmen, he went directly to the Chinese army's tent with Gao Jilong.

As soon as Ming Ho left, the atmosphere relaxed a little, Mai Yunyan was a person who also had a nod to Li Buqi, knowing that although Li Buqi was a civil official, he had always been classified as a martial artist by a civilian official, and he himself had never denied it. So he reintroduced Wang Xin, Hao Zhiyi, and others to Li Buqi with great eyes. Wang Xin and Hao Zhen had already heard the story of Li Buqi, and because Li Buqi had lent them the telescope in a completely equal attitude just now, they had a good impression of Li Buqi, so the atmosphere was much warmer than in the big tent just now.

Wang Kai, the envoy of the Xijing workshop, requested: "Five days to build siege equipment is too tight. I also asked Li Junjian to help us people talk about it, and give us a few days. ”

Li Buqi said: "Killing pigs and butts, everyone has their own way of playing." More than 50,000 people, I have never commanded, how dare I point fingers casually? But I'll bring some craftsmen and ask them to help you build your ordnance, maybe faster. ”

Wang Kai rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you let Li Junjian command the siege?" Under the command of Li Junjian, we naturally struggled forward. ”

Li Buqi snorted: "I am quite competent to command 500 people, I have never even commanded 1,000 people, how dare I command such a large-scale battle?" It's a joke. ”

Wang Kai was about to say more, but Mai Yunyan pulled his sleeve behind him, and he quickly shut up.

Li Buqi said: "If you are not tired, it is better to take me to the camps to see, so that I can learn the skills of marching and camping in the army." The craftsmen also arranged for them to direct the creation of the equipment. ”

Wang Kai hurriedly led the way in front to lead Li Buqi to inspect, Wang Kai grabbed Mai Yunyan and asked, "Why don't you let me speak?" ”

Mai Yunyan, a eunuch, is used to seeing intrigue in the court, and he has already felt some taste. He saw that the atmosphere between Ming Ho and Li Buqi was obviously not harmonious after they arrived, Ming Ho did not pretend to Li Buqi, and Li Buqi maintained a superficial respect for Ming Ho but rarely spoke, and the two obviously did not deal with each other. So he only said, "Brother didn't see it? Li Junjian must have a difficulty, and he is only afraid that it will be useless. ”

Wang Kai's mind was relatively coarse, and Mai Yunyan reacted to this reminder, and couldn't help sighing: "I thought it would be great to send Li Buqi to this battle." I didn't expect it to be like this. ”

On the other side, Gao Jilong followed Ming Hao back to the big tent, and after sitting down, he said: "Pacify, the lower official still has a word to persuade and appease." The city wall of Beizhou is high, and it is only afraid that it will be difficult to perform the work in five days, so why can't you prepare for a few more days to appease? ”

Myeongho took a sip of tea and said, "This official also has difficulties. Before leaving Beijing, His Majesty and the ministers earnestly hoped to stabilize Hebei as soon as possible. Even though Beizhou is dangerous, I have an army of 50,000, as long as the soldiers use their lives, how can there be a city that cannot be opened? The important thing is that the grain and grass in the rear must not go wrong, and this matter will bother you. ”

Gao Jilong hurriedly said: "This matter is the responsibility of the official, please rest assured." ”

Gao Jilong went, and Ming Hao, who had always treated each other as a friend, asked: "Today it is said that the five-day time is in a hurry, why do the officials decide to attack the city on the fifth day?" ”

Myeongho said: "It's not because Li doesn't give up! Li did not give up to the favor of the officials, saying that the drought and locust plagues were not punished by heaven but because of the man-made disasters of cutting down too many trees. Chen Xianggong said to the old man that he couldn't let Li Bu give up the limelight anymore. Therefore, Li Buqi made people think that only 30,000 people could take Beizhou, and the old man could only do it as soon as possible. And I once said that Xia Ziqiao's character is not good, this person's popularity is narrow, and since he is a privy envoy, he will definitely take the opportunity to take revenge. If it drags on for a long time, I'm afraid of more incidents. ”

"But what if you can't attack it?"

"There are 50,000 troops under the city, the old man personally commands, those who advance are rewarded, and if they hesitate, they can step on the wall of Beizhou!"

Li Buqi walked around the military camp on all sides of Beizhou, and when he returned to his tent, it was already dark, and the guards hurriedly warmed up the food and brought it up. Should the officials report this to the pacification envoy and postpone the siege for a few more days? ”

Li Buqi shook his head: "If Ming comforts and says the five-day time limit, Wang Xin and they all fight on the basis of reason, I will naturally help them speak." But at that time, they didn't insist at all, and then they pushed me out, which is not right. This is because I don't want to take responsibility, I always want others to be in front, and I can't help if I want to. I don't know about these people, if there are people who are eager to make meritorious contributions and want to tie up with the officials, they will say that they can be beaten, if I say that they can't be beaten, then they are not human beings inside and out. If you really can't beat it, you can add a deputy when you find a reason and the coach has different thoughts, and I can't escape this charge. ”

Tao Lin pouted: "If you fight, you will fight, there are so many twists and turns, it's really depressing." But I don't know how many more people will die now. ”

Li Buqi said: "Some people will not turn back if they don't touch the south wall. Although Ming's character is good to appease people, but he also thinks very highly of himself, and today it seems that he is heading for the south wall, and whoever stops him from hitting it will offend people. It's nothing, just think of it as a teaching fee. ”

Tao Lin's eyes widened: "Pay tuition? Pay for tuition with human lives? ”

Li Buji looked at Tao Lin's Too young, too simple Tucson as if he saw his appearance when he was young, and couldn't help but sigh: "Haven't you heard a word?" One will become famous. The little soldier looked at himself as his life, but in the eyes of some superiors, there was only a question of whether he could afford to consume it, and there was no question of whether he could die. You will experience it slowly in the future. ”
