In the seventh year of Zhenguan, the third day of the third month of March.

There is a proverb that says, on the third day of March, the snake comes out of the mountain.

Although this sentence has no practical basis, it also shows from the side that the earth warms up in March.

It was also on this day that Li Chengqian finally led the resentful army to arrive outside the city of Douhe.

He had to hold back the army of Dayan Mangjiebo and King Dingcheng, so as to relieve the pressure on Qibi He Li and the others.

"Your Highness, why don't you leave the Haw Par Camp here to assist Your Highness?" He Li hesitated for a long time, but finally said.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "No, this time Murong Fuyun is very likely to wave his troops south, if you can't completely annihilate Tuoba Zhao's army before Murong Fuyun goes south, the future days will be difficult." ”

"But the resentful army is only 5,000 soldiers...... "Qi Bi He Li is still insisting, he knows very well that his future has been tied to Li Chengqian, so Li Chengqian must not have an accident.

However, Li Chengqian was unmoved: "This king knows that there are at least 60,000 troops under the command of Dayan Mangjiebo and King Dingcheng, which is more than ten times that of this king, but so what!

As long as this king is here, whether he is the king of the city, or Dayan Mang, who dares to act rashly? ”

"......"

"There's not so much to do." Li Chengqian whispered, "This time General Qibi waved his troops north, and we should also pay attention to Xi Tong, after all, we haven't been in contact with this person until now, understand?" ”

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Qi Bi He Li asked, "What does Your Highness mean, there is something wrong with this person?" ”

"If there is a problem, this king does not know." Li Chengqian said, "But you can't have the heart of harming people, and you can't have the heart of guarding against people, anyway, don't blindly trust."

Therefore, the Western Army cannot be reduced in personnel, and only when it is fully staffed can it be able to deal with any unexpected situation.

As for this king's side, you don't have to worry, this king can drag King Dingcheng and Dayan Mangjiebo to death in this river city. ”

When he heard what he said, he didn't say more.

Although he was worried, he still believed in Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian had created too many miracles, and he had no reason not to believe it.

Besides, the combat effectiveness of the resentful army, that's really exaggerated.

Moreover, this is the first army to follow Li Chengqian, and there is nothing to say about loyalty.

"By the way, what did the king tell you to do before, how did you do?" Li Chengqian asked again.

Speaking of this, Qi Qi He Li was immediately happy: "You don't need Your Highness to explain this matter, how much do you understand how well Nadayan Mangjiebo and King Dingcheng understand things, just not far away, there are a lot of earth and stones, which are similar to a small hill."

I guess when they were digging the trenches, there was no place to deal with the soil and rocks, so it cheapened us. ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, he also shook his head with a wry smile, and could only say that some people are really smart.

In the afternoon of the same day, Qibi He Li led the army to the north with the expeditionary army.

At the head of the city of Pouring River, the king of Dingcheng and Dayan Mangjiebo watched the retreat of the army outside the city, and were wondering, and then they saw Li Chengqian's banner hanging out.

"King Ming is here?" Seeing this flag, King Dingcheng was stunned for a moment.

Dayan Mang was also a little surprised, but then he showed a look of ecstasy: "He's finally here!" ”

After tossing for so long, isn't it just for a shame!

"How do we deal with it?" King Dingcheng asked.

Speaking of which, he was also a little excited, if Li Chengqian's undefeated myth ended in his hands, it would definitely be a political capital worth showing off for him.

"Inform the army, every day for twelve hours people to watch, Li Chengqian, this person, is scheming, be careful of what unexpected way he comes up with to break the city." Dayan Mangjie said, "No matter how serious you are about dealing with Li Chengqian, you can't take it too seriously. In particular, the ordnance of the Ming Dynasty court is varied, and it has to be guarded against. ”

Just when Dayan Mangjiebo and King Dingcheng were thinking about how to resist Li Chengqian's siege, Li Chengqian was explaining something to Liu San.

"Did you hear it all?"

Liu San nodded and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely bring Wang Shilang back safely." ”

"Be more careful on the road." Li Chengqian said, "Only when you are completely finalized is the best time to establish our overlord of the Ming Plateau." ”

As soon as he heard the word timing, Liu San had a headache.

Since following Li Chengqian, he has heard these two words a lot.

Everything is about timing, but he knows the timing, but he doesn't know why.

"Humble duty understands." Regardless of whether he understood it or not, Liu San nodded honestly.

After speaking, Liu San arched his hand towards Li Chengqian, and turned to leave.

After he left, Gao Chunxing asked with some confusion: "Why doesn't Your Highness use Changsun Chong, it's much more convenient for him to start from here." Specially recruited Wang Shilang from Sun Moon Mountain, isn't he willing to seek the near and far? ”

"Wang Xuance is more suitable for this matter, and he also has experience in this area." Li Chengqian smiled and said, "And Changsun Chong's work is not convenient for others to take over now, and changing someone may make those herdsmen feel uneasy."

But now that the war is imminent, it is not easy to appease them, and I am afraid that it will become a trouble. ”

Gao Chunxing understood, in other words, after Changsun Chong took over this errand, he couldn't throw it away, which meant that it was impossible for him to make that heavenly contribution.

He knew very well that if Wang Xuance made another miraculous achievement this time, he would definitely have to stabilize Changsun Chong in the Ministry of Rites.

It is not difficult to see from here the profound meaning of Li Chengqian's doing.

"Your Highness, General Yi, General Wan Qian and others ask to see you." At this moment, Yu Chi Baolin walked in.

A moment later, several people walked in together.

"See Your Highness." After giving the salute, Yi Yuanfeng said, "Your Highness, the army has now been encamped and can break the city at any time. ”

Hearing him say this, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Okay, we have 5,000 soldiers and horses, plus the king's personal soldiers, and there are only 6,000 people, which gate is broken."

If you really want to fill it with troops, how can you easily break the city without tens of thousands of troops? ”

When Wan Qipu heard this, he was immediately speechless: "That guy from Dayan Mangjiebo suffered a big loss in Sun Moon Mountain, and he is estimated to be waiting for this day?" I don't know which guy gave him a trick, and he actually dug up the outside of the city into this virtue......"

"Your Highness, what should we do next?" Ihara Feng said, "It's not a way to spend it like this all the time, right?" ”

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Why not a way?" We have an army of 5,000, and they have at least 40,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and there are no less than 20,000 troops hidden outside the city.

It's been consuming, they're consuming more energy than us?

Besiege?

This king will attack the city if he eats too much.

Tell the soldiers, in this battle, don't attack the city, let's defend the city! ”

"Defending the city?" When Wan Qipu heard this, he said in disbelief, "Didn't Your Highness say something wrong?" This river city is in their hands, which gate city are we guarding? ”

"Who says we can't defend the city?" Li Chengqian smiled, "Since there is no city, then we will build a city outside the city of Douhe, Dayan Mangjie Bo thought that this king would definitely attack the city, so he dug up the outside of the city in a mess, thinking that this king would use human lives to fill it, is he not good at braining?"

Why did this king have to attack the city?

It is no better to trap his tens of thousands of troops in this river city than to siege the city. ”

Saying that, Li Chengqian shook his head with a wry smile, "This Dayan Mangjie Bo is really a big smart, Lao Tzu can't get in, can he fight it?" He thought he had come up with a great idea......"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, is this okay?

"Your Highness, I'm afraid it's not easy to build a city outside this watering river city, right?" Ihara said.

Li Chengqian nodded: "It's really not easy to build a city, but if you build a few walls around the city of pouring rivers, how difficult it can be, don't forget, Changsun Chong has a lot of refugees there."

You can't just keep feeding them for nothing, right? ”

All of a sudden, everyone understood.

They are familiar with this matter, Li Chengqian has done it before.

"Then we're not actually here to break the city?" Plobozi said with hindsight, "We're actually here to defend the city again?" ”

"Yes, defend the city!" Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Whether it is to break the city or defend the city, as long as the goal is achieved, in the final analysis, our purpose is to drag down the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the King of Dingcheng and Dayan Mang.

And the longer we delay, the less pressure there will be on General Chebi, and the greater the pressure on them will be.

After all, these tens of thousands of troops and the herdsmen they plundered to dig trenches could not fail to eat or drink. ”

"Hahaha......" Wan Qipu said with a smile when he heard this, "From this point of view, Dayan Mang's formation is a cocoon and self-restraint, and he has created a big trouble for himself." ”

He doesn't mind whether to siege or defend a city, as long as there is a battle to fight.

……

The next day, Changsun Chong personally came with thousands of refugees.

During this time, he did not take in many refugees.

Today, there are more than 10,000 refugees in his camps.

And what he brought this time was carefully selected by him.

The reason why these refugees are willing to come is simple: they are paid.

Although he can't starve to death in Changsun Chong's camp, he only has two meals of porridge a day, and if there is more, he is really just hungry and hungry.

Although they are still honest now, after a long time, two meals of porridge a day will definitely not satisfy them.

As the old saying goes, rise to Mien, fight Mi hate, that's the truth.

Just when Changsun Chong didn't know how to solve this contradiction that would definitely arise, Li Chengqian's letter arrived.

At this moment, it can be regarded as solving the urgent need of the eldest grandson.

Otherwise, after a long time, the guy who is not satisfied with two meals of porridge will inevitably toss some moths.

"Your Highness, these people have been tossed homeless by those homeless people, and Wechen has carefully screened them." The eldest grandson Chong searched in the camp for a long time before he found Li Chengqian, who was planning the city wall, not far from the trench.

"As long as you can work." After Li Chengqian looked around, he said to everyone. "Forget it, the city wall starts with these two trenches, which just saves digging the foundation."

As he spoke, he got up and looked at the eldest grandson and asked, "How many people are there?" ”

"More than 2,300 people." Changsun Chong said, "Almost every one of them was carefully selected by Weichen, and there were no homeless people mixed in. ”

Li Chengqian really didn't care if there were homeless people mixed in, but when he saw Changsun Chong say this, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's hard work." ”

He knew what kind of psychology Changsun Chong was.

"It's not hard to share your highness's worries." Eldest Sun Chong hurriedly smiled.

He is really attentive in this matter, and he has been reflecting on it since he talked to Gao Chunxing once.

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "I won't go back tonight, I'll go back tomorrow morning, everyone will get together outside this Douhe City tonight, well, Baolin, let me know, roast the whole sheep tonight, and treat the army." ”

When Yu Chi Baolin heard this, he immediately happily went to arrange it.

He's happy to do that.

As soon as he left, Li Chengqian went to see the refugees who had been brought by Changsun Chong.

When they saw Li Chengqian for the first time, these refugees were still a little nervous.

They had already heard of this Ming King.

Although he is young, his status is noble, and he is not much better than Murong Fuyun.

"See Your Highness." At that moment, everyone shouted for you and me.

Li Chengqian didn't mind this, showed a warm smile, took out the iron horn again, and said, "No need to be polite, I guess the eldest grandson Shilang has also told you."

This king really needs your help this time, and here, this king has thanked you in advance. ”

As he spoke, Li Chengqian bowed to everyone in a serious manner.

This scared everyone enough.

Good guys, that's the king of the Ming Dynasty, bow to them, that's the matter?

The person standing in front of him suddenly flashed to the side.

But I have a good impression of this king in my heart.

Look at people, how humble.

But they don't understand, courtesy must be demanded!

"Your Highness doesn't dare to do this." Someone immediately shouted.

Li Chengqian got up, smiled, and said: "Yes, it's freezing this day, and I have to bother you to help this king build a city, which shouldn't be."

And all of you are older than this king, as the saying goes, not older than me, older than me.

Affordable. ”

Li Chengqian was very polite to these people.

Really kind.

There is no Ming Wang's frame at all.

But those who really know Li Chengqian know that this politeness is not so easy to bear.

However, Li Chengqian's words are very useful in the hearts of these herdsmen.

This is the king they dream of.

At that moment, they even thought that they would not regret the death of such a king.

All they know is that at last there is a king who treats them as human beings!

Be a human!

What a simple, simple vision, but in their eyes, what a gift.

"Your Highness, don't worry, we will work hard!" Someone shouted.

He was excited!

Then, countless people also shouted!

They do!

Really willing!

That night, outside the city, there was laughter.

For tonight's feast, Yu Chi Baolin killed hundreds of sheep.

For a time, the entire camp was filled with laughter.

Everyone seemed to have forgotten that there was a fortified city opposite them, and in the fortified city, there were tens of thousands of troops eyeing each other.

But everyone is so happy.

Dayan Mang, Jiebo and King Dingcheng, who watched all this through the firelight, were a little incredulous.

"What's the situation? The two armies are at war, what are they celebrating? King Dingcheng was a little dazed.

He couldn't understand what Li Chengqian was doing all this for.

Fighting! Eldest brother!

Can we be serious?

Dayan Mangjie Bo was also a little dazed, but when he saw the soldiers at the head of the city swallowing his saliva uncontrollably, he immediately smashed his fist on the head of the city: "Shameless! ”

After saying that, he also shrugged his nose and sniffed it carefully.

Seeing this, King Dingcheng also learned it, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "It is indeed shameless!" But he Li Chengqian thought that this would be able to shake the military spirit of our army?

Joke! ”

After speaking, he was also a little helpless, it was so fragrant......

The air wafting in the cold wind seemed to be filled with the peculiar smell of mutton, and this smell was really unbearable for them nomads.

"This is Li Chengqian......" Dayan Mangjie sighed and said, "As long as he can win the battle, he really does anything." ”

Is Li Chengqian lacking in morality?

That's really a lack of morality......

Under the command of King Dingcheng and Dayan Mangjiebo, since the expedition, I'm afraid they haven't eaten two meals of meat, right?

After Li Chengqian's tossing, it was really a big gap.

As for whether Li Chengqian's actions have any practical effect, in fact, there is none.

It's just a disgusting person.

"Your Highness, why don't we take advantage of them to attack his camp at night?" King Dingcheng said.

Dayan Mangjie shook his head and said, "What you can think of, Li Chengqian can't think of?" Save it, don't ...... your army if you don't go out."

Qiang ......

Just as he fell, an arrow struck the pillar behind him.

For a while, he was also scared.

"Your Highness, there is a letter on the arrow!"
