Chapter 272

The number of troops is limited, and it is unrealistic to intercept Quangai Suwen, and I originally wanted to use this force to completely anger Goguryeo, but now it seems that there are really few people in the world who are fools.

Quangai Suwen walked decisively, Yang Wanchun retreated decisively, even if Liu Xu was arrogant and undefended, after the first battle, Yang Wanchun also pressed the military guards and did not take a step out of the city gate. All the tricks he could think of were used up, how humiliating, Yang Wanchun just stood on top of the city tower and cursed.

"At this time, I estimate that even if we arrest him, he will not leave the city. Today's Yang Wanchun is like a king and eight shells, our troops are not enough at all, and we have limited gunpowder, otherwise, we will blow up the city gate and rush over directly, which is fine. ”

Liu Xu sighed for a long time, but Xue Rengui held his head high and was very proud.

"Grandpa, with 3,000 to 10,000, kill more than two people, this is a big victory."

Xue Rengui said it well, but Liu Xu was unwilling, what is a big victory, Liu Xu always feels that only by really defeating the enemy completely is the real victory!

It's a pity that such an ideal state is really not possible! Liu Xu was under the city of Anshi, and he didn't know how many times, but in the end he could only exhale deeply.

"Quangai Suwen is definitely not a guy who can be dealt with casually, and Yang Wanchun is not a fool, this Anshi City, it seems that it is not so easy to take!"

Liu Xu sighed, Li Ji also said so, such a big credit, no one wants to let anyone occupy it alone, they are not slow, at this time in Anshi, Xue Rengui is preparing to pile up the earth mountain, and then build a wooden bridge, and directly rush into the city from the earth mountain to slaughter.

"What if the earth mountain is occupied by Izumi Gai Suwen?"

Li Ji has no objection to Tushan, but safety is definitely a problem.

"I'm not afraid of being occupied, I'm afraid of it falling! So, if you are in a hurry, you don't have to wait for you to come! ”

Liu Xu's eyes kept staring, he cared too much about the inclination, the Shenji Camp never stopped for twelve hours, this was already his most important project.

"Grandpa, why don't you use fierce fire oil?"

Li Ji also wanted to ask, after all, if the fierce fire oil was poured into the canal and ignited directly, then at that time, there would be a sea of fire in Anshi City, and he was afraid that he would not be able to attack it?

"No, if it was ten years ago, my first choice must be fierce fire oil, but now, you come to see Anshi, the canals extend in all directions, not to mention how much fierce fire oil it costs, how much effect can be obtained, this is a big problem. As soon as the water rushes, the fierce fire oil will be diluted greatly, plus the current wind direction, hey, if they still know how to extinguish the fire, it will be wonderful, Yang Wanchun has to dance the drum upstairs to laugh at us! ”

Liu Xu smiled helplessly, and Li Ji also laughed and patted Liu Xu's shoulder.

"Okay, that's right!"

Li Ji rubbed his hands and looked at the busy people, and let out a long sigh.

"Today's Datang is a little impetuous, the battle between civil and military seems to be calm, but in fact the undercurrent is turbulent! Those civil officials always feel that with one mouth and one spring and autumn pen, everything can be smoothed out, but you see, many things can be worse than the military guard? The strength of a country, the military guard is always the foundation! Only when the wrist is stiff can you pull it! Others can't protect it! But then again, civil officials are also indispensable, Wuding territory, civil rule and peace, those twists and turns, they still need to implement them, all kinds of tricks, they still need to think!

Well? Liu Xu, you said that since ancient times, there have been generals who have made peace for the sake of beauty, why is it that now, they have to fight for the world? ”

Li Ji sighed, but Liu Xu was a little inexplicable, tilting his head sideways and looking at Li Ji seriously, what happened to him today, remembering to say this? It's not like his character.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Xu smiled and raised his head.

"Uncle Li, why do you bother to probe me? Martial arts in the world, this is a common thing, this is not Uncle you, or the boy I can change, what do you want to say, or just say it, the kid knows everything and says everything, okay? ”

Li Ji was stunned, and then laughed.

"Okay, in the end, you've grown up, Liu Xu, I don't say that you ordered the soldiers to send troops to attack the city, just say one thing, you are so anxious to get merit for your subordinates, are you ready to move forward, or are you ready to retreat? Don't be confused with the old man, over there in the Western Regions, the old man also knows, hey, you've already started arranging, right? After fighting Goguryeo and fighting the Western Regions, and then pacifying the south, our Tang Dynasty will really have no war, at that time, you Liu Xu will either be the champion of the three armies, ranking first among the generals, in the court, you can stomp your feet, you can shake three shocks, of course, there is another kind, you can retire after success! You Liu Xu is by no means a person like Li Jing, either press on their heads, or you will walk away, let me ask you, what is your plan? ”

Liu Xu was stunned, and sighed, which was also a long sigh.

"The kid is smart, such a small trick, he still hasn't hidden it from you."

Looking at the busy soldiers, Liu Xu shook his head.

"I, Liu Xu, can have today's status, relying on the support of my uncles, relying on the help of these brothers, I Liu Xu don't have much ability, I can't do much help to the uncles, these brothers, but I have followed me Liu Xu through life and death, I am an official, I can't lose them, right?"

Li Ji nodded approvingly.

"These days, I'm always thinking about the question, where do we come from? And where to go? Later, I thought about it, and I figured it out, it's very simple, we came from the mother's womb and went to the grave, my mother's womb I Liu Xu can't remember anything, but I know very well the grave, for those unexpected events, my Tao is too shallow, and the chess is a dilemma! ”

"Uncle Li, I'm tired, I don't want to do it anymore, I just want to fight for some credit, to say something disrespectful, I just want to fight for more credit when Your Majesty is still Your Majesty, and then, hehe, I want to retreat, whether it's going away, nesting in Chang'an, it's all done.....

Master Li used to always want me to do a good job, but I didn't listen to it before, and I walked around, but then I found out that it was useless, and staying in the academy was the best way out for me Liu Xu! ”

Li Ji looked at Liu Xu in a daze, and only came back to his senses after half a ring.

"Really?"

Liu Xu smiled bitterly.

"It's all at this time, what are you blind to the boy, Uncle Li. The kid is a little soldier in the hands of His Majesty, the kid grew up in the palace since he was a child, and his mother protected him, and His Majesty protected him, so he developed a problem of being frivolous now, and he can't change it, just like this time, I overstepped my authority to order, which is a big crime, but you don't report it, and the kid estimates, even if Your Majesty knows, Your Majesty will not deal with me, you, you are spoiling the kid, so ah, if this court is not protected by Your Majesty, the kid will not stay long. ”

"The kid used to be always self-righteous, self-righteous felt that he had a lot of ability, knowledge that others didn't know, and he could also bring a lot of self-righteous happiness, but unfortunately in the end, he found out that these self-righteousness is the boy's self-righteousness, people, in fact, they are all laymen, no one is a real saint, and no one is a savior or something, the Tao says, the way of heaven is natural, unchangeable, Yuan Tiangang said, there is still his reason."

"So, the kid decided to pursue nature, isn't it the same for Your Majesty, he is anxious to stabilize the Quartet, since the kid is His Majesty's soldier, he naturally has to drive for him, carry it on his shoulders, and get something they deserve for these brothers who have experienced life and death with me! These are nature, human nature! After this period of time, the kid is ready to build a house and live a real comfortable life, in fact, what identity, what high position, are no match for seven words, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, Nongfu Spring, a little sweet! Uncle Li, you said that if the kid can retreat bravely, no one should do anything to the kid, right? ”

Li Ji paused, and then smiled helplessly.

"No, no one will, and no one dares, to pass on the Ming Gong, and it is to pass on the Jin Guogong, how much? Alas, Liu Xu, the old man just thinks it's a pity, the old man is not afraid of your kid fighting for merit, on the contrary, he still wants you to fight more. The future of the generals still depends on you young people, old men, and these people, how long can they hold on? And today's young people, there are few who can hold on, you look at the old man's grandson dedication, only a few years old, screaming, what do you know, just nonsense, such people, those civil officials, a little thought, can beat you into the abyss, you look at Hou Junji, he is not powerful? When we were in full swing, we all had to back down a few points, but what about now? It's not like people say it's up, and it's down! Playing these, we are always worse than them, but the situation is like this, and you have to hold on! The old man looked at these individuals, fighting one by one, without looking at the form, the old man was anxious, but no matter how anxious, what could he do? ”

"Alas, the old man knows, you kid, you are a sympathetic, affectionate, the old man watched you come all the way, from the beginning of ignorance, bumping everywhere, to now gradually stabilizing the moment, the old man is happy for you, but the old man is afraid, afraid that you are in a hurry, so the old man wants to take care of you for a few years first. But now it seems that there is no need, boy, remember Uncle's words, the tree wants to be quiet, and the wind does not stop. You want to be quiet, this is good, very good, but you must be stable, you must do everything like it, you can't think of one set in your heart, and the reality is doing another, such a vacillation is not possible, the emperor is the most taboo! ”

"Hehe, now that you are fighting, the old man will be happy, but do you know why I say it's a pity? Boy, you're too late! You should fight earlier, and then the whole gate will open the way for you! Hehe, but it's okay, let's fight now, it's not too slow, it's not too late, it's just that you have to suffer a little more. Moreover, your experience over the years, it is too good to be true, it is a real precipitation! ”

"Xu, the uncles are old, but those juniors are a little restless. Uncle thinks you are good, and I hope that if there is a disobedient guy in the future, you can help the uncle! So, okay? ”

Li Ji looked at Liu Xu seriously, and his hand was also clenched tightly, Liu Xu took a breath abruptly.

"Uncle Li, I am really retiring, not dormant. However, the road in the world is not certain, Liu Xu is a minister after all! Forget it, Uncle Li, let's not talk about this, you see, the earth mountain is about to be repaired, Yang Wanchun is becoming more and more impatient, our plan is about to start! No matter what you plan, you need to have some standards, I'm here to compete for merit now, Uncle Li, Liu Xu is welcome. ”

Li Ji snorted and patted Liu Xu on the shoulder.

"Okay, go ahead, Uncle will do some work for you!"

Liu Xu smiled, then turned around and coughed.

"Where is the Divine Machine Battalion?"

Lang General Liu Renliang has already run over.

"Remember, your task is not to attack the city, but to defend, there is only one such a mountain, if it is lost, our efforts in the past few days will be in vain! Smash the catapult for me, don't be stingy with gunpowder, if the Goguryeo people dare to hit Tushan, they will smash all of them to me, smash them! ”

"Whoa!"

The neat and uniform answer made Liu Xu's heart stable again.

"Rengui, remember that dead old man Yang Wanchun, he shouted, as long as you have a chance, shoot me down! As long as my order can't be followed, I will continue to kill, and I will continue to kill until the blood is flowing like a river and the corpses are piling up! As long as there is resistance, they will be cut down by me! ”

Xue Rengui clasped his fists and saluted, Liu Xu let out a long sigh, and then shouted angrily.

"Kill!"

The words are out, the drums have been lit, and the battle flag has been waved!

Yang Wanchun clenched his fists, his eyes almost protruded blood, he had been struggling for too long these days, he knew that Datang had an artifact called gunpowder, which was the power of earth-shattering! He didn't dare to let the Tang army get close, as long as he got close to the city, he immediately sniped people out at all costs, and repelled I don't know how many attacks, but unfortunately, he is desperate now, that dirt mountain, as if pressed in his heart, one inch higher, he felt that his breathing was difficult to breathe, and today he finally felt that it was difficult to maintain his breathing, he knew that the time to kill was coming!

"Kill!"

He also gave the order, but his voice was extremely heavy, he knew that Goguryeo was doomed, the trebuchet that rose high, the burning oil of fire!

"Robbed that hill, as long as we robbed it, we can survive for a few more days, we can earn some, kill one and we will be flat, kill two, we will earn, sons, look at the home behind you, the relatives behind you, for them, let's kill, you remember, the old man remembers you, history, and remember you!"

The sound of killing is everywhere, and no one knows which side is just and which side is wrong in this big war, and both sides have reasons for war.

Liu Xu mentioned the sword, in his heart, there is no prejudice of the future generations, the battlefield will always belong to the hero, and the fruit will always belong to the winner! Hopefully, you'll be truly victorious!
