The second heavenly king Lou Shiming drank very happily, although he was not drunk with this meal, but he was extremely happy!

He knew that the cooperation with Li Dan was that they needed each other, and he also knew that watching thousands of officers and soldiers and tens of thousands of stones of grain and straw transported into the city would bring a lot of annoyance to the siege later, but he just wanted to see the boss's jokes.

In his heart, he has always disapproved of his father becoming the king and emperor early, which will make the Lou family the target of public criticism. The last time we met, Li Dan once said that being the emperor means that he can no longer accept Zhao'an, and there is no turning back, and he deeply believes this.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Lou Shiming hopes to make his reputation bigger, but not too antagonistic to the government, let alone slaughtering the people and officials.

He thinks that whether you rob or plunder, as long as you don't do things to the end, there will always be a day when you can accept the government's recruitment, and the greater your reputation, the more benefits the emperor will give when recruiting you in the future.

Zhao'an means that the son of a mine supervisor like himself, who has no foundation and no fame, also has the possibility of getting an official status, so his descendants can get rid of his lowly status.

It's a pity that in the eyes of the boss, this idea is not as enjoyable as being a prince and an emperor, so it is not uncommon for him to be often neglected.

Maybe he has dealings with Li Dan and these people and does business, Lou Shifan knows, but this eldest brother is deep enough, and if he doesn't break it, he has a reason why he won't break it.

For Lou Shiming: Let him go! If you don't break it, I'll go my own way! Li Dan came up with a good idea, which made Lou Shiming's eyes light up.

Taking this opportunity to incorporate the two major commanders, he got 10,000 people and horses in his hands at once, and then used Guangxin City as a stronghold, even Yintuo was helpless when he knew it.

I snatched it from the Tsing Yi team, and I didn't snatch it from your silver handsome's arms, your subordinates are too stupid to become thirteen, who can blame this?

Thinking that although he sold his brother, in exchange for occupying Guangxin County, the corners of his mouth curled slightly. Well, now you have to think carefully about how to act this scene and how to assign the generals?

Looking at his back as he walked away, Lu Jiu smacked his lips: "Why didn't he ask for this umbrella and iron furnace?" After all, it still doesn't look good? It's a pity that we spent a lot of effort to bring it here."

"What's this, the most important thing is that the lord wants to talk to him about everything he wants to talk about is the key!" Mao Xiulu said with a smile while cleaning up, "I definitely came here not only to drink wine and eat meat, but also to do great things!"

"What's the big deal, doesn't it mean to show him the umbrella and the stove, and then let him order a large order from us? Isn't that a big deal?" Xiao Wan'er was puzzled.

"Think about it, when can't you make this deal? But what is the key now, is that the lord wants to send the grain into the city in accordance with His Majesty's will.

As long as this second general doesn't go down the mountain to make trouble, we can go back to the mission after we complete the mission, that's the top priority, right?" Mao Xiulu spoke without hurry or impatience, which made Li Dan, who was still watching Lou Shiming at the edge of the forest, smile slightly.

"Oh, Ninth Master, what he said seems to have a point!" Xiao Wan'er said seriously.

"Whatever you listen to makes sense!" Lu Jiu snorted in his nose, and after a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Hey, are these two generals very powerful?" Why didn't the lord look for someone else, but for him?"

"I'm listening to it next to me, it seems that these two generals are at odds with his brother and are being left out in the cold. The lord wants to take Guangxin's empty city to give him a great credit and help him establish his authority among the people. Moreover, it sounds like he is the best of the three brothers of these two generals, and the rest are not enough to worry about!"

"Oh! No wonder!" Lu Jiu seemed to understand: "It's easy to deal with others, but if he goes down the mountain, it won't be easy to fight?"

"Ah Jiu is right!" Li Dan walked back, looked at the big umbrella that was pulled out and put on the ground, and said:

"This Lou Shiming fought with us on the other side of the river, 300 people resisted the official army, and finally it took 800 people to annihilate them.

If he really led his troops down the mountain to intercept Kamisakadu, even if he only drew 1,000 out of the 4,000 people, he would rely on the more than 3,000 officers and troops we had assembled, enough to be his opponent! If you really come to this point, our plan to reinforce Shangrao will be in vain!

Therefore, I took advantage of the contradiction between his three brothers to provoke him, and asked him to find an excuse not to send troops first, and wait for others to suffer, and then his eldest brother would definitely ask for him, and this is what he wanted

Power, an opportunity to expand your power!

Then I pushed the boat down the river, pretending to give him a credit for seizing Guangxin. Everything was natural, and he was sure to be happy to accept it. Compared to these, the umbrella and the stove are trifles. Pack it up, and I'll bring it into the city in the evening to give it to Your Highness."

"Sir, don't bother me." Lu Jiu touched the back of his head: "Humble ...... There's something I don't understand."

"You ask." Li Dan smiled.

"I understand the first half of you, but there's no need to hand over Guangxin to him, right? Guangxin handed it over, did he have to give it to him? Anyway, Yintuo will come back and take it back, why are you so generous to him, is it necessary?"

Lu Jiu really asked, and now Mao Xiulu and Xiao Wan'er were stunned, and they all looked over.

Li Dan nodded: "Ah Jiu, don't look at your rough appearance, I know that you are actually quite delicate. Good question! I'll tell you the three main purposes for which this is done:

First, I just said that I want to help Lou Shiming Liwei, and among the three brothers, he is the most willing to be recruited by the court, and he is also a more upright person.

His eldest brother wholeheartedly persuaded Lou to be the emperor at that time, he could be the prince, and I never wanted him to succeed! His third brother is tyrannical, he only knows how to loot the people's fat and people's ointment, and I will also suppress it!

Therefore, support Lou Shiming's forces to overpower those two, and then you can recruit security when necessary. Such an ending is better than the consequences of thousands of heads rolling and Fujian, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang in a mess, right?"

"The lord is far-sighted, benevolent, and admirable! Pei's four generations of fathers have thanked him!" At this time, Pei Tianhu (Pei Si), who walked in at some point, bowed deeply to Li Dan.

Li Dan smiled and helped him with his hand, and listened to him say, "Sir, everything is ready, we can go."

"Okay, let's keep talking when we get on the horse!"

Everyone put the things on a carriage and pulled them, Lin Baotong drove the car himself, Xiao Wan'er sat next to the master, and the rest of the people were two horses, turning around and walking back. Walking out of a mile, Xiao Wan'er couldn't help but exclaim, "Sir, there are two more points you haven't said!"

"This second is naturally to provoke conflicts between the three brothers.

If they work together, I really don't know whose flag will be hung at the head of the city tomorrow, but if the three of them think about each other and disagree with each other, tens of thousands of people will be helpless against this big city!

Do you think, if Lou Shiming gets the military power in the end and occupies Guangxin City alone, will he still listen to his father and brother's orders? Will his eldest brother be able to sleep as usual? Can his younger brother not be resentful of his second brother's success?

Combat is not only a comparison of numbers, military formations, and morale, but also a comparison of the cooperation and coordination of generals.

At that time, Li Guang was so able to fight but was still convicted, the reason was that he was alone, or left the army to fight bravely by himself, or he could not arrive as scheduled for various reasons, so he could not be made a marquis, in fact, it had little to do with Wei Qing's heart.

Another example is Yue Wumu of the Southern Song Dynasty, everyone knows that he wants to recover Bianjing and recover the lost land, and the purpose is good.

But later, he was a little bent on going his own way, not only cooperating with other generals and commanders, but even continuing to fight regardless of Emperor Gaozong's wishes, but in fact, the foundation of the Southern Dynasty was not stable for a long time, and the country's economy was on the verge of collapse. In the end, the Privy Council was unable to mobilize and command the Yue family's army, and Yue Gong transformed from an anti-Jin hero to a warlord all the way.

Alas! The consequences are staggering, but how can it be said that it is the fault of one person?

The reason why I say this is because you and I may be businessmen, generals, or local ministers in the future, but no matter what you become, you must not forget that you are a son on this big chessboard.

Whether you like it or not, it's true. If you do the opposite, you will be ruined or die before you succeed, won't it make future generations continue to strangle? The lessons of the past and the lessons of the future, everyone must remember this!"

Mao Xiulu was on the horse, Xiao Wan'er was in the car, and even Pei Si and the others gave their hands and said, "I am respectfully taught by the lord!" Lu Jiu also hurried to follow suit. "And what is the third?" Xiao Wan'er continued to ask.

"Fang just said that this Lou Shiming is very good at leading troops," Li Dan looked at him from his horse, "And this person is also quite wise.

Last time I was in Pine Ridge, Barren Mountain, and Luoqiao

set up an ambush in between, but he didn't expect that 3,000 people were ready, and in the end only 300 of his vanguard troops were eaten, but he saw through the strategy and led the team to retreat in an orderly manner, and avoided the destruction of the whole army with the method of breaking the tail to survive.

Today, our army takes transshipment as the top priority, and the strength is not enough to cover the rear, and the whole line is pressed to the south.

The Dayuan defenders have been withdrawn by me, and only our reconnaissance platoon and guard platoon are pretending to be suspicious soldiers in Dayuan Village, and they will also cross the river at night and return to the west bank tonight. Do you think there's anything wrong here?"

"With such a few people, our rear forces are too weak, right?" Pei Tianhu muttered.

"Fourth Brother Pei can see it!" Li Dan praised with a smile, and then said, "That's right, we are actually an empty city plan on the northern front!"

"I see!" Mao Xiulu's eyes widened: "The lord is using the big fruit of Guangxin City to attract the two generals, so that his head will not look at Dayuan, right?"

"Haha, Xiulu is right! But I prefer to compare it to a carrot hanging in front of a donkey's eyes."

Lu Jiu laughed out loud: "Just tell him to follow the direction you pointed out!" Everyone laughed and the atmosphere was quite lively.

"But this donkey is very smart!" Li Dan pointed out: "Sooner or later, it will understand that we are leading it away, then maybe it will stop doing it and will have to walk around on its own!"

"So, what does the lord mean is that we have to move quickly, and we have to complete the transfer of grain and straw before he comes to his senses?" Pei Tianhu said that he now has a complete understanding of Li Dan's thinking. Look at the book

"Fourth brother is right! However, we are still a little worried about the northern route!" Li Dan grabbed his mount, turned his face and said to Pei Tianhu:

"So I want to ask the fourth brother to go to Dayuan to sit down, first, to lay out the puzzle, try to confuse the enemy, and put on the appearance that we have an ambush on the northern front; Second, when necessary, lead our men to stop the invading enemy.

We plan to evacuate the last troops from Guangxin tomorrow morning, and then they will withdraw to Lengshuipu through Songling. So you have to set up suspicious soldiers on the two roads of Luoqiao and Songling, and I can only give you those dozens of people, and you have to figure out the rest yourself."

After Li Dan finished speaking, he took out a wad of banknotes from his arms and handed them over: "There are a hundred pieces here, you bring them, it can't be useful."

"Uh, sir, why don't I follow Fourth Brother Pei to help out?" Zeng Tietou raised his hand uneasily: "The villain has no other skills, so help him do something and run errands!"

"What does the fourth brother see?" Li Dan asked Pei Si's opinion.

"It's okay for him to come with me, in case there is something that needs to be passed on or delivered, the iron head will act as my herald first."

"Okay!" Li Dan immediately agreed.

Back at Kamisaka Fort, the remnant sun has gone west. Li Dan cleaned up, changed into clean moon-white arrow sleeves, cowhide arm guards, double-ribbed cloud head low-waisted fast boots, plain leather belt, tied his hair with silver rings, and wiped his forehead with light green moire.

Because he was going to see the king of the county, he only hung a ruler-length and short sword on his waist. He was accompanied by Lu Jiu, Mao Xiulu, Xiao Wan'er and Lin Baotong, as well as a spear guard (to protect the prince).

The prepared carriage was specially processed by Yu Gan before it came out. Flat-topped compartments with a sliding openable sunroof above the rear half, and a waterproof roof wrapped in tarpaulin.

Although the outer compartment board is very ordinary cypress, and even retains the traces of axe chisel and planing, the inner compartment board is made of oak, beech, camphor wood and walnut wood, which is not only polished smooth and has been painted three or four times, but also lined with iron armor in the middle of the important parts.

The whole vehicle appears narrow in front and wide in the rear, and the front wheels are small and the rear wheels are large, which is convenient for walking on mountain roads.

At first glance, the car looks like a large wooden box, and even the windows and doors are made of wood, but it is actually an out-and-out "armoured" car.

Chen Sanwen had experimented that an ordinary bow with one and a half stones within thirty paces or a military crossbow at a distance of fifty paces could not penetrate the iron armor layer.

Because of the need to escort dignitaries, even the driver's seat is semi-armored (that is, there is no inner compartment layer), and there is a luggage slot at the rear of the car, which can also play a certain role in protection.

The carriage is pulled by four horses, and two spare horses are usually attached to the rear of the carriage to rotate the relay.

When it was dark but there was no need for a torch, Li Dan listened to the final briefing.

At present, the first batch of 10,000 stone grain and grass has safely entered the city, due to the experience of the last time, this time it is more organized, and it saves a lot of effort and time when unloading and transporting.

The second batch is entering the city one after another, but the feeding and drinking time of livestock is relatively cramped, and there is already a phenomenon of fatigue of individual livestock.

"Don't skimp on livestock!" Li Dan gritted his teeth and ordered: "We can't take these animals away, as long as the livestock with the team are kept in good condition." The rest is left for the city to be used or slaughtered, it is up to the city to decide!"

"Okay!" Lei Jisheng smiled bitterly: "Now the command platoon has sent two squads to buy livestock everywhere around Guangxin, and even the cattle are used!"

"That's right! Give money to the people, even if they pay more, but the cattle cannot be left to them." After Li Dan finished speaking, he turned to Mao Xiulu and said, "Remind me that when I go to the city, I have to discuss the placement of so many livestock with the county commander!"

Then the report of the review of Jie had not yet found that the enemy had moved at the North Gate, and Li Dan asked to continue to monitor the North Gate and the camp of Jiyang Mountain.

Lou Shiyong was too slow to transfer troops from the east, so it was most likely that he would let these two places intercept after he got the news, or it was possible that Lou Shifan would rush over with his own troops, so Xianjie mainly stared at them.

After the arrangements were made, Li Dan ordered the headquarters to move to the north gate of Shuizhai to meet Gao Hanzi, under his unified command, and then enter the city by himself.

Shangrao can be much taller and more majestic than the Yugan city wall. Although the north wall is not the tallest place, it is still amazing to look up at!

The north gate of the water village is chosen on the gap between the two hills. The carts and horses began to feel like they were going downhill forty or fifty paces away, and the city gate was built at the lowest point.

Therefore, when people came to the door and looked up at the plaque with the words "Qianli Gate", they found that there seemed to be a height of three zhang from the carriage road to the battlement of the city.

Li Dan thought that maybe this was an illusion, but in short, this wall was higher than the rest of the north wall, for sure!

There is no moat on this section of the north wall, because it is not needed! Entering the city is an aqueduct, which is the source of the moat of the palace of the next county, and there is a stone bridge over the canal, and there is a wooden bridge from the early years under the east wall.

At the other end of the stone bridge is the Dianmao school yard, which is now full of people, cars and livestock, and Li Dan saw that the torches were lit before he entered the city, and the light was bright inside and out.

He immediately looked back, and the tall man understood what he was looking at, and said, "I'll let the torches be beaten, so that the movement can be faster, and besides, don't you want to lure the enemy from the north gate over?" When there is a fire at night, the insects will put out the fire!"

"You're doing the right thing!" Li Dan nodded: "I suddenly remembered the oil just now, and told Guangxin to collect it in the whole city and send it as much as possible!" They will need it when they defend the city."

"Yes, sir!"

Shangrao County Order, Shuizhai Garrison Thousand Households and a Hundred Households sent by the Deputy General's Mansion were already waiting outside the door, and they all heard that this Li Sanlang was handpicked by the emperor to rescue Shangrao, so they were respectful.

After greeting and encouraging everyone, Li Dan and Shangrao County Commander said that the livestock should be left in the city, which can be used as a substitute for transportation or strength, and can also be used as meat to help.

The prefectural commander immediately came to his senses, consulted with the garrison, and decided to set up a fence on the grassy slope to the south for storage. Li Dan saw that this matter had been settled, so he didn't interfere much and immediately set off to the palace to meet him.

After entering the city, this group did not rush to the road with the transfer brigade of migrant workers, but under the guidance of the hundred households of the caste, they walked through the wooden bridge on the east side and crossed the canal, and came out through an arched doorway, and the front suddenly opened up.

Planting hundreds of households led the team to turn to the long sandwich road on the right, Li Dan looked back and saw that the gate was originally open on the wall of Shuiying, and the other side was also a city wall.

"My lord, this wall is the west wall of the palace." They explained that they were now walking on the road between the water camp and the royal palace.

After walking along the road for a while, Li Dan saw the endless flow of grain in front of him, and was wondering how he and the others should pass. Suddenly, the left-hand wall was recessed, and a gate appeared behind the empty field.

"My lord, this is the gate of the west gate of the palace, and the humble duty can only come here, and the guard of honor will guide you inside. The lowly and your cavalry are waiting outside this gate."

Hearing what the hundred households said, Li Dan understood that this was to be paid

After taking it, he bowed his hand to him and said, "There is labor to send you, and I will trouble you when I go out later."

"Your Excellency, you're welcome." Seed Baihu hurriedly returned the salute: "The adult is the savior of Shangrao, and it is an honor to be able to do things for you!"

At this time, a eunuch came up to salute, claiming to be the eunuch in charge Chen Bing. "His Royal Highness is already waiting, please follow the slave into the palace."

"There is labor, there is labor." Li Dan gave up his hand, and when he turned around, he ordered Lin Baotong and Lu Jiu to lead the lancers to stay, and he went in with Mao Xiulu and Xiaowan'er, who were dressed as entourage.

The guard guarding the door stepped forward and pointed to the short sword that Li Dan wanted, and Chen Bing waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Your Highness said: Even if Lord Li is carrying a knife, come in with him." The general flag stepped back when he heard this, and his forked hands no longer blocked.

Li Dan followed Chen Bing all the way into the palace, turned into a sandwich road, and saw people coming and going, looking at the clothes were officials. Chen Bing explained that the right-hand side was full of the official offices of the royal palace, and everyone was busy overnight because the prince ordered the treasury to be counted. Li Dan nodded speechlessly.

After walking a few more steps, Chen Bing secretly wondered, this little lord was young, but he was old, and he didn't have a word of superfluity, so he couldn't help but say, "Archmaster Li is sorry, let's take a few more steps." Instead of going to the main hall, go straight to the garden."

"Huh? Garden? You mean, didn't Your Highness see me in the main hall?" Li Dan hurriedly asked.

"Your Highness is now wiping your armor on the interpretation floor in the South Garden, and I ask you to meet you upstairs." Eunuch Chen was a little embarrassed, after all, he was a foreign minister, and he came from all afar, so it was indeed a bit rude and inappropriate to let Li Dan meet in the garden of "Beauty Shengxiao Singing and Dancing".

Li Dan also felt a little funny. This prince who refuses to leave, runs to the garden at night to wipe his armor? It's awkward to look at.

Especially when he called himself to go to his "Interpretation Building", this place is very ambiguous when you hear the name, and when the time comes, your eyes should see and shouldn't see, but what to do? However, this is "His Highness's order", Li Dan replied a little reluctantly, "Okay."
