There is no need to wait for the thunder to sound, the cantharids in the southwest forest have come out of the dead branches and leaves, and the cracks in the stones, mainly because this year's spring came earlier than usual.

Li Si wore a curtain fence on his head, gloves on his hands, and long boots on his feet, and held an iron clamp to grab a centipede nearly a foot long from a shallow stone gap.

The centipede's body was wrapped around the iron clamp, two black and shiny mouthparts bit on the iron clamp, and countless legs fluffy rolled to twist the body into a pom-pom.

Li Si shook the centipede on the iron clamp into a leather bag with air holes, and raised her sleeve to wipe her face, she didn't want to continue forward, because wherever there is such a red-legged big centipede, there are nearly eighty percent of the corpses of large animals, of course, this large animal also includes people.

She didn't like to see rotting corpses or anything, but the barbarian women she had invited to catch centipedes, spiders, snakes, and other poisonous things didn't have so many taboos.

Today, Li Si caught a lot of big centipedes, so after returning to the camp, some of the centipedes were spit out by her holding their heads in warm water with clips, and then peeled and fried them for Aya to serve as a snack.

The other part looked at the poisonous centipede, so he nailed his head with a bamboo skewer to kill, washed it, and after it was dried, it was the best medicinal material.

When he returned to the camp, Li Si found that there were many strangers outside the tent, and when he walked into the tent and saw Lou Shide, he immediately said angrily: "What do I want? 】

After Lou Shide got up and saluted Princess Anding, he said with a smile: [His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not allowed. 】

Yun Chu glanced at Li Si, who was still about to speak, and Li Si muttered something that others couldn't understand, and left the tent obediently.

Lou Shide smiled at Yun Chu and said: [It has to be a prince. 】

Yun Chu said: [It is the children who are obedient. 】

Lou Shide said: [The prince and the soldiers advanced 1,200 miles without blood, Your Majesty and the prince praised it. 】

Yun Chu said indifferently: [There are many people who scold me for being a loser. 】

Lou Shide said: [It's a good time to open up the territory, why should the prince and the prince deal with stupid people. 】

Yun Chu said: [Don't be a sycophant, since you are here, the government governance along the way must keep up with it, take advantage of the rising favorability of the southwest towards Datang, arrange officials to settle in as soon as possible, and, within three years, the duties of the government should be based on appeasement, help, and service. 】

[Those who are greedy for money and harm the people come over, I see one and kill the other, and when the time comes, don't say that I don't teach and be punished. 】

Lou Shide frowned and said: [Why are there only women and children, and there are no strong men? 】

Yun Chu said: [The strong men have all gone to rebel, only women and children, the government has worked hard for five or six years, and when the children are older, there will be strong men. 】

Lou Shide was cold sweat on his back when Yun Chu said a bland sentence, how could he not hear the meaning of Yun Chu's words - he didn't want a man at all.

If there were no men, how would they survive in this poor mountain and remote place? 】

[Ben Shuai went on this expedition and didn't bring a man? ] 】

[Huh? Is the marshal going to let the people protect these women and children here, or does he want the people to live here? 】

Yun Chu drank saliva and said: [The people go out with the army, the general period is two years, the commander does not need them to go to the battlefield, only need to protect the women and children in the southwest here for two years, two years later, those who are willing to go home go home, and those who do not want the country to settle here are not impossible. 】

Lou Shide looked at Yun Chu's eyes and said slowly: [In terms of rules, what the big man said is feasible, but in terms of etiquette, it is not considered. 】

Yun Chu didn't even look at Lou Shide, and said to himself: [If you care about your family, you can go home after two years, and if you don't want to go home, you can be exempted from taxes at home for two years, and you can be regarded as repaying your family, and staying in the southwest to live in the past. 】

Lou Shide coughed and said: [It seems that the people that the handsome man wants, are the poor and the wife first? 】

Yun Chu raised his head and said with a smile:

[The poorer, the better. 】

Lou Shide shook his head with a smile and said: [In that case, I don't know if the prince is willing to support some of his officials? 】

Yun Chu frowned and said, "Wine pot official? What does it mean? 】

Lou Shide said with a smile: [With a wine pot, the heart of the people, the sun and the moon in the pot, and the people's days. 】

Yun Chu looked at Lou Shide and said: [What do you mean? 】

Lou Shide said: [Among my Tang officials, I don't know when a group of officials with silver pots appeared, these people are all officials, and the herdsmen are methodical, eclectic, and there is a suspicion of profligacy, but these people have an excellent reputation among the people, a certain family has personally tested six people, and found that these six people have the same resume - born in Chang'an. 】

【. 】

[Who to use, you should ask Your Majesty, they are all Your Majesty's officials, who do you want to use, you should ask the ministry, not to ask me. Lou Shide said with a smile: [This official thinks that the southwest is a new scholar of the Tang Dynasty, and these wine pot officials each have their own skills, and this place is a blank, just for them to show their ambitions. 】

Yun Chu was silent for a moment and said: [Your Majesty's idea, or the prince's opinion, or the queen's opinion? 】

Lou Shide said: [It's the suggestion of the lower officials. 】

Yun Chu said softly: [Do you want to find death? 】

Lou Shide put his face close to Yun Chu and said softly: [Does the big marshal think that this official is afraid of death? 】

Yun Chu glanced at Lou Shide's firm eyes and said: [You shouldn't gather many officials in one place to use them, it's too wasteful, besides, can you control these people? 】

Lou Shide said firmly: [This official is acceptable. 】

Yun Chu glanced at Lou Shide and said: [Too arrogant. 】

Lou Shide said: [So, Dashuai is accurate? 】

Yun Chu said: [They are officials of the Tang Dynasty, as long as the imperial court needs them, there is no need to ask me, and also, have you reached the point where you will do everything in order to win with Zhang Shuzhi? 】

Lou Shide said with a smile: [Even if the handsome man sprays on the official's face, the official can not move like a mountain. 】

Yun Chuchang took a breath and said: [I believe you have the ability to do it yourself. 】

After sending Lou Shide away, Li Si came in, came to Yun Chu's side and said: [Aya, how is that Lou Shide sneaky? Yun Chu said: [Because your eldest brother has begun to train his subordinates. 】

[Training? Hasn't he been training all the time? 】

Yun Chu said with a smile: [This time I began to train Lou Shide, Zhang Shuzhi's subordinates at this level, it seems that your prince's brother's power is steadily increasing, otherwise, he would not have been able to get the management of Shuzhong at the same time, but also look at the southwest. 】

Li Si sighed and said: [No matter him, he has not been willing to listen to people's good words since he was a child, as if he understands everything, and he has become more and more hateful in recent years. 】

[Aye, Ajin, did they defeat the stone city? 】

[No, I heard that it is to gather more people there, and I am not going to take Shicheng immediately, and I want to see if there is a chance to encircle the point and send reinforcements. 】

[Ah, haven't you beaten it down yet?] Didn't Aya give him a hundred heavy rides? 】

Yun Chu said with a smile: [When was the heavy cavalry used to siege the city? 】

Li Sichang said in a tone: [It's okay, when you can't win the other party, the heavy rider can still leave a way for him to break out. 】

Yun Chu looked at Li Si, a military fool, and felt speechless.

The sparse spring rain has already enveloped the southwestern forest, and this rain is not enough to extinguish the war in Shicheng.

Today, the siege has begun

The tunnel dug by the barbarians has reached the bottom of the walls of the stone city, and the sound of jingling rock is heard everywhere from the vat buried in the ground, and as soon as these ground rat-like barbarians dig down the city wall, the stone city will be broken.

Therefore, he had to

The fierce battle in the rain lasted from the morning to the evening, and Yun Jin also watched under the big banyan tree for a whole day.

This time, the barbarians were already very disciplined when they fought, and the barbarians led by Shi Bao even formed a one-sided crushing trend in some positions.

As a result, Yun Jin easily came to the conclusion that the soldiers of the Fu clan were not as good at fighting as the commanding barbarians.

When it was almost dark, he failed to achieve his goal of cleaning up the alleys under the city during the battle out of the city, and reluctantly withdrew from the battlefield after leaving behind more than 2,000 corpses.

[The moment the city is broken, it should be the time for Pi Luo Pavilion to launch a surprise attack, right? Li Chengxiu held an umbrella, he did not want to stand under a big tree on a rainy day, so as not to be struck by lightning.

Yun Jin doesn't seem to care, this big banyan tree is just like an umbrella.

[That idiot thinks he is hiding well, the stone city is about to be broken, the planing is about to end, and the reinforcements he invited from the planing clan are still thinking about sitting on the mountain and watching the fight, how stupid you say this should be. 】

Di Guangsi is also far away from the big banyan tree, and there is such a big banyan tree on the mountain, and the thunder and lightning are coming.

Seeing that Di Guangsi would rather stand in the rain than go under the big tree to hide from the rain, Ziqi Aguo said: "Why don't you come in? 】

Wen Huan, who was also standing in the rain, said: [Afraid of being struck by lightning. 】

Ziqi Aguo said: [This banyan tree has been growing for almost five or six hundred years, where do you see it looks like it has been struck by lightning, besides, the sting has not yet arrived, and there are very few. 】

Di Guangsi said: [Standing in the rain, the most rain, standing under the tree is easy to be struck by lightning, the former can resist, the latter is irresistible. 】

Yun Jin didn't have time to listen to their nonsense, so he said to Li Chengxiu: [It seems that he can't fight anymore, he should send an envoy to negotiate with us, if the envoy comes, you go and try it, and ask him for 500,000 catties of grain. 】

Ziqi Agodao: [How could he give you food? 】

Di Guangsi smiled and said to Ziqi Aguo: [He needs time, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, 500,000 catties of grain, in exchange for us not attacking the city for two days, it should be a very cost-effective thing for Jiasheng. 】

Ziqi Ago said: [You are about to win, why do you want to stop the siege? 】

Di Guangsi showed a mouthful of big white teeth and smiled: "Because we are the stupidest barbarians. 】
