In the past, Li Qi only felt that the summer in the north was a good existence, and there was no need to endure the high temperature for too long, but this year, Li Qi felt that this damn summer was too short.

If the heat could continue, the pace of the Qin army's offensive would inevitably be slowed down due to the high temperature, but now, the heat has dissipated, and autumn has gradually dominated the entire northern border, and there is nothing to stop the pace of the Qin army's attack.

Li Qi never thought about how to defend Yanmen County, to be precise, it was not that he didn't want to defend Yanmen County, but he was really powerless, when the most powerful Dai County of the three northern counties was defeated by the Qin army, Li Qi knew very well that the northern border could not be saved, especially when he got some unknown news, Zhao Du had already made up his mind to give up the three northern counties.

Even King Zhao doesn't want his own territory, why should they go desperately, especially the performance of the Qin army during the period of occupation of Daijun seems to be good, although it is not to say that there is no offense against the people of Daijun, but at least it is not as brutal as imagined, the situation of Daijun is in front of them, and the common people at the bottom may not know the bends and bends, but these wealthy families in Yanmen County can get some news.

It can be said that in the past period of time, although the Qin army did not launch even a small offensive against Yanmen County, the war never stopped, but in the war between the Qin army and Yanmen County, it was not a war between iron and blood, but a war about people's hearts.

In the past period of time, the determination of Yanmen County to resist the Qin army has been shaken, at least a considerable number of people's determination has been shaken, if they can live, who is willing to fight hard?

The most important thing is that the connection between the three northern counties and the hinterland of Zhao has been completely blocked by the Qin army, even if they want to escape, they can't do it, Zhao can't go back, but the north is the Di Fan of the wolf clan, they have been fighting with the wolf clan since their ancestors, and finally only Dai County in the north of Zhao State has become the current north border, if it weren't for the fact that Zhao State had to shrink its strength in the north because of the war with the Qin army a few years ago, the current north is not only Dai County, Yanmen County, Yunzhong County, these three counties, Instead, there is a Jiuyuan County, which is the four counties in the north.

More than a hundred years of fighting have already made them the real mortal enemies between these people and the wolf clan, let them go to the wolf clan, that is absolutely impossible, but apart from the wolf clan, where can they flee? It seems that there is only Yan Guo.

It's just that what is Yan Guo? Now that Qin's troops have extended to the north, it already borders the land of Yan, and now Qin and Yan are real neighbors.

Flee to the Yan Kingdom and wait for the Yan Kingdom to surrender again? In the meantime, it seems that there is just one more surrender, and nothing else seems to make much difference.

It's just that anyone with a little brain knows that the difference is big, they surrender now, with what they have now, they can still exchange for some treatment, after all, if the Qin State wants to quickly control the northern border, they still need their strength, but if they flee to the Yan State, and then wait until the Yan State surrenders, then they don't have any bargaining chips, and the Qin army wants to kill them, I'm afraid they won't even hesitate.

"But, everyone can surrender, but I can't." Between his thoughts, Li Qi, who could not raise the mind of confrontation and could not surrender, only felt extremely uncomfortable.

How did I get to this point? Thinking of his second brother, thinking of his mother, and thinking of the Li family, Li Qi couldn't find a reason why he could surrender after thinking about it, but if he didn't surrender to resist, he didn't even have a trace of confidence, it was Yang Ming, and it was Yang Ming who had an absolute advantage in strength, he couldn't fight even if he took his life.

"It's not easy to be an official." Li Qi, who was advancing or retreating, sighed.

"Uncle Zu said such a thing, what do those who want to squeeze into officialdom think?" In Li Qi's long sigh, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy walked into the hall as if no one was around.

"You kid, didn't you stay in Wu'an County to accompany your great-grandmother? How did you come to the North? Li Qi looked at the young man in front of him, and couldn't help but be shocked, it was not someone else, it was his second brother's grandson Li Zuoche, who was only over fifteen years old now, and the imaginary age was sixteen, in the Li family, he was the most talented person who was expected to be comparable to his grandfather Li Mu.

"Naturally, I came to solve your problems for your uncle and grandfather." Li Zuoche sat in front of Li Qi without seeing anything and said.

"You kid don't have nothing to do, who knows you're here?" Li Qi asked, once Li Zuoche's identity is revealed, waiting for the Qin army to attack, it will be quite a troublesome thing after all.

"There shouldn't be anybody." Lee left lane.

"That's okay, you hurry back, here in Yanmen, now is not the place for a child like you." Li Qi said repeatedly.

"Uncle and grandfather, standing here, I really have a reason to come." In the face of Li Qi's urging, Li Zuoche said unhurriedly.

Although he is young, he has a calm bearing, and it is easy for people to forget his age.

"Uncle and grandfather's current predicament, I am really the only one who can help you solve it." Lee left lane.

"You?" Li Qiguo looked at Li Zuoche hesitantly, although he knew that his second brother's grandson was very extraordinary, and he was the one who could keep the lintel of the Li family from falling, but now Li Zuoche is still too young after all, how much knowledge can he have?

"How can my uncle and grandfather look down on me because of my age? Yang Ming, who is now forcing his uncle and grandfather to have no way out, was already the first warrior in the north at the age of sixteen, and when he was less than twenty years old, he was already a famous general recognized by the people of the world. "Lee left lane.

Yang Ming, Li Zuoche is no stranger, but he has always regarded Yang Ming as his idol and a target to chase.

"I admit that you are a good kid, but people like Yang Ming ......" Li Qi shook his head when he said this, and continued: "He is too strong and lucky, such a person is not much better than the Qin State Bai Qi back then, don't say it's you, I'm afraid that even in the next thirty years, it will be impossible to see similar characters again." ”

"Uncle and grandfather, I didn't come here to listen to you hit me." Li Zuoche complained a little and then said, "Uncle and grandfather, you might as well listen to my plan and see if I can solve your current predicament." ”

"Okay, I'll listen." Anyway, everyone is coming, so you might as well listen to it, and listen to what kind of flower this careless kid can say, Li Qi thought so in his heart, and forced himself to listen to Li Zuoche's advice.

"Find a henchman to tie up your uncle and grandfather, just surrender directly to the Qin army, as long as you don't scold Yang Ming without fear of death, there will be no accidents." Lee left lane.

"That's what you said was a good idea to help me solve my current dilemma?" Li Qi questioned that he still had a little bit of anticipation.

I was really sick and rushed to the doctor. Li Qi smiled bitterly in his heart, and he didn't have the intention of blaming Li Zuoche, after all, in order to consider him, the child didn't know how to come from Wu'an County to the northern border where the Qin army was heavily blocked, just this point, there are a few teenagers of Li Zuoche's age who can do it.

"Isn't it a good idea? Uncle and grandfather are not Yang Ming's opponents, but they don't want to die for the country, but they are afraid that their surrender will affect the family, so they will have no way out. "Lee left lane.

"I asked my uncle and grandfather to find a confidant and tie you up and surrender to the Qin army on your own initiative, so that you don't have to fight, and you don't have to worry about your reputation, after all, uncle and grandfather, you were also kidnapped, and you have the heart to resist Qin, but you can't return to heaven, who can blame you?" Li Zuoche continued.

"That's it?" Even if Li Zuoche said the reason is very sufficient, but Li Qi still only thinks it is ridiculous, such a thing, no matter how you hear it, it feels ridiculous, Yanmen County is a county, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians up and down, and the rise and fall of hundreds of high-ranking families, the glory and disgrace of hundreds of high-ranking families, is it such a child's play here in Li Zuoche?

But sometimes, even so-called national events are such a child's play.

"Uncle and grandfather said okay, okay." In the face of Li Qi's doubts, Li Zuoche was full of confidence, he believed that his uncle and grandfather would agree and implement his suggestions.

"Okay, I admit it, what you said is indeed a feasible way, but isn't it ...... to do it" Li Qi still hesitated, the way is a good way, but isn't it too shameless?

"If others know about this kind of thing, it's really shameless, but if others don't know, everything is good." Li Zuoche, who knew what Li Qi was worried about, said directly.

"You're going to be amazing kid in the future." Li Qi thought for a long time, and finally let out such a sigh, and he had already made up his mind in his heart.

"Is my uncle and grandfather impressed by my wisdom?" Li Zuoche said with a bit of smugness.

"I'm not simple to be wise or not, but just this shamelessness has to surpass most people in the world, a person can be shameless to this part, and it is really no taboo to do things." Li Qi looked at Li Zuoche in front of him with a strange face, and for a while he only felt strange how the Li family had such a freak.

When a wonderful drama was already brewing here in Yanmen County, the Qin army had already penetrated deep into the territory of Yanmen County, and then the troops were divided into three routes, one was led by Huang Teng to thousands of soldiers towards Mayi and Shuo County in the south of Yanmen, and one was led by Meng Tian to the direction of the Great Wall in the north, while Yang Ming personally led the main force straight to the city of good governance.
