Chapter 57: Irresistible

Leng Junao's right hand was injured, but fortunately, his muscles and bones were tough and there was no major problem, and he could recover in a few days of cultivation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info His arrow was shocking, although it failed to shoot Deng Fei, but it was enough to show the attitude of the Beiliang Army.

Refuse to form an alliance and wait for the battle!

This is Leng Jun's arrogant attitude, and it is also the attitude of all the soldiers of the Northern Liang Army, including Xuanyuan Chen.

The Northern Liang Army has completely turned against the Great Qin Thief, and will inevitably face the other party's crusade in the future, and for future consideration, it is urgent for the Northern Liang Army to strengthen its military strength.

Just one day later, Duan Qifeng selected five hundred people from among the young people in Longwang Village and set up a reserve camp.

Although none of the 500 people in the reserve battalion are qualified soldiers, they are from poor families, and they are all strong and can endure hardships, and it is not difficult for them to become excellent soldiers in time.

In order to live up to Xuanyuan Chen's trust, Duan Qifeng can be said to devote himself to the training of the reserve camp, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, the reserve camp will be in the open space behind the mountain of Longwang Village, obeying Duan Qifeng's command and drill.

When the Beiliang army eliminated the thieves in Longwangzhai, they harvested a large number of weapons, which were enough to equip the five hundred recruits of the reserve battalion, but in order to facilitate the drill and let the reserve battalion form combat strength as soon as possible, Duan Qifeng asked people to build five hundred wooden guns and distribute one to each of the recruits of the reserve battalion for use in drills.

There is only one thing to do with the wooden gun, and that is to thrust the spear.

Spikes may seem simple, but it's not easy to get the hang of it.

As an excellent spearman, every stab can perfectly use the strength of the arms, waist, abdomen, and legs, and combine them with the head of the spear to stab the most powerful blow.

Duan Qifeng did not hesitate to work hard, teaching the recruits of the reserve battalion one by one to stab them, and then ordered them to practice repeatedly.

The simpler the action, the more practical it is, but the more effort it takes to practice well.

The recruits did not dare to be lazy, and everyone was practicing desperately, because if they did not work hard, they would be kicked out of the reserve camp, which would mean losing twice the daily food.

After years of severe drought, hunger has long become the biggest fear of the people of Jiannan Province, and the recruits are afraid of hunger, and food has outperformed everything in their eyes.

The soldiers and recruits of the Beiliang Army can eat grain with an open stomach, which leads to a great consumption of food stored in Longwang Village, but fortunately, Li Zhuang's grain was delivered on time, and Li Zongwang also sent a lot of dried meat very generously, as well as fur and coke for keeping out the cold.

And the person in charge of escorting the grain is Li Chongmao, who is not acquainted with Xuanyuan Chen.

When Li Chongmao came to Longwang Village, it was already dark.

The weather is cold and freezing, and it is difficult to walk at night, Xuanyuan Chen retained Li Chongmao to live in Longwang Village for one night, Li Chongmao has a bold personality and does not stick to small sections, and agreed on the spot.

Li Chongmao knew that after Xuanyuan Chen defeated the Jin Army in Beiliang City, he was even more impressed by the fact that he was already respectful, and when he saw that the wooden houses in the Dragon King Village were provided to women and children, and the soldiers of the Northern Liang Army, including Xuanyuan Chen, lived in a grass hut, he couldn't help but have the idea of joining the Beiliang Army in his mind.

Such a mighty teacher, a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, how can he not let hot-blooded men yearn for it.

Xuanyuan Chen led Li Chongmao into a wooden house, where a hot stove was burning, and it was warm in spring, compared to the cold weather outside, it was completely two worlds.

Li Chongmao was embarrassed and said: "Lord Wang, you and the soldiers of the Beiliang Army sleep in a grass hut, and I, Li Chongmao, am not talented, but I am also an iron-clad man, and I am willing to live in a grass hut with the prince and the soldiers." After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to walk outside the house.

Xuanyuan Chen grabbed his arm at the door of the house, and said with a smile: "You are a guest, I am the master, if you live in a grass hut tonight, won't it be said that outsiders will say that this king is neglecting guests."

From the moment they first met, Li Zongwang had been observing Xuanyuan Chen, he was full of curiosity while respecting this King of Beiliang, the other party was not much older than him, but his superb martial arts and achievements on the battlefield were enough for Li Chongmao to admire.

At this time, noticing the serious look in Xuanyuan Chen's eyes, Li Chongmao no longer insisted and returned to the wooden house.

When Li Chongmao sat down, Xuanyuan Chen smiled and said with a hint of gratitude: "Li Zhuang sent grain, this king represents the 800 soldiers of the Beiliang Army, and the 2,000 people of Longwang Village, and I sincerely thank you here."

Li Chongmao saw that Xuanyuan Chen was about to thank him, and hurriedly stopped: "The prince has said it, this is what Li Zhuang should do, if it weren't for the prince's action, Li Zhuang is still under the obscenity of the thieves in the Dragon King Village, and it is not only Li Zhuang's duty to have the opportunity to solve the problem for the prince, but also an honor!"

Xuanyuan Chen was stunned for a moment, and after calming down, he took a deep look at Li Chongmao, it can really be said that people can't look good, a burly and strong person who looks like a giant, he actually has a sleek and sophisticated heart.

Li Zhuang sent food, obviously because he was coerced and intimidated by Xuanyuan Chen and had to do it, but at this time, in Li Chongmao's mouth, it turned out to be his duty and honored.

Li Chongmao also seemed to feel that what he said was a little too much, his face was slightly embarrassed, and he laughed dryly and said: "Lord Wang, every three months in the future, Li Zhuang will send five hundred stone of grain."

Xuanyuan Chen smiled with satisfaction and said, "Old lady Li is so generous, but the king is disrespectful." As he spoke, his face changed suddenly, and there was a bit of worry in his tone: "There is one thing, I don't know if you Li Zhuang know, yesterday the Great Qin thief sent an arrow book and wanted to form an alliance with this king, but was rejected by this king on the spot."

Once a conflict breaks out between the Great Qin Thieves and the Northern Liang Army, then Li Zhuang, who has been providing food to the Northern Liang Army, is likely to be hostile from the Great Qin Thieves, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Li Chongmao understood what Xuanyuan Chen meant, but he seemed unmoved, and said with a calm smile: "What the prince said, I already know that at most, when the Great Qin thieves come to Li Zhuang to ask for their crimes, they will also give them some grain and grass." He said it casually, but he also said the most common way of survival in the gap between various forces.

Whoever comes tries their best to please, and no one comes to offend easily.

Xuanyuan Chen couldn't criticize Li Zhuang's approach, after all, he couldn't protect himself now, let alone provide shelter to Li Zhuang, so even if Li Zhuang gave the enemy to the Great Qin thief, he could only let it go.

The sky was getting darker and darker, Xuanyuan Chen was in a somewhat dull mood, and he said hello to Li Chongmao and got up to leave, but Li Chongmao's voice came from his ears: "Lord Wang, there is something that my father asked me to convey on my behalf."

Xuanyuan Chen looked at Li Chongmao, saw that his face was heavy, and asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

Li Chongmao took a deep breath and said slowly: "Lord Wang, at dusk yesterday afternoon, the Great Qin thief sent someone to deliver a letter to Li Zhuang."

Xuanyuan Chen was shocked in his heart, his eyes were more solemn, and he asked, "The Great Qin thief also invited Li Zhuang to go to the capital Antai to join the alliance?"

Li Chongmao looked ashamed, bowed his head and said, "That's right, and my father has already agreed."

Xuanyuan Chen's eyes flashed with a fierce color, but he was quickly replaced by helplessness, Li Zhuang is not a dragon king village, there is no steep terrain, how dare to resist the invitation of the Great Qin thief?

Li Zhuang can also use his involuntary fear of the force of the Northern Liang Army as an excuse to deliver food to the Northern Liang Army, but it is difficult to have a suitable reason to refuse the invitation of the Great Qin Thief.

And as long as Li Zhuang goes to the alliance, it is equivalent to stepping on the thief ship, and once the Great Qin thief loses power in the future, the imperial army will be killed, and Li Zhuang will be charged with rebellion.

The alliance with the Great Qin Thieves is a road of no return, Old Lady Li shouldn't be incomprehensible, but he still chose to go, in addition to being forced by the situation, I am afraid that he has completely lost confidence in the Han Empire, thinking that the death of the Han Dynasty is not far away.

Once the Han is dead, how can he be charged with rebellion?

The candlelight flickered in the room, illuminating Xuanyuan Chen's erratic eyes.

In a very depressed atmosphere, Li Chongmao didn't dare to make any sound, and sat upright without moving, like a sinner, waiting for Xuanyuan Chen's verdict.

After a long time, it seemed like a moment, Xuanyuan Chen suddenly raised his head, looked directly at Li Chongmao, and said word by word: "On the day of the alliance, this king and you Li Zhuang will go to Antai City together!"
