Chapter 114: Human Affection
Li Jun said lightly: "Dad, is there no other way?" If we take control of Wu'an County, hold this place, and wait for the rescue of the Son of Heaven, there may still be a chance. ”
Li Yan shook his head and said, "The Huo family has been in business for many years, and almost all the leaders of the defenders of Wu'an County are his people, not to mention, there are many guards in his Hou Mansion who are personally with him. ”
"Coupled with the help of the Blackwater Gang, our chances of winning are slim."
Li Boxiong suddenly said, "What about the Qinglong Division? If you can get the help of the Qinglong Division, you may have the opportunity to fight with the Huo family and the Blackwater Gang. ”
"Blue Dragon Division......"
Li Yan was silent.
Li Boxiong frowned and said, "Could it be that the Qinglong Division still dares to help the Huo family, and the Blackwater Gang rebelled?" ”
"They don't need to help."
Li Yan said: "As long as you pretend not to know, just wait for Wu'an County to fall into the hands of the Huo family." ”
Li Boxiong asked, "But what is the significance of doing this to the Qinglong Division?" ”
"It could involve a power struggle in the capital."
Li Zhongmou said softly.
Li Yan said: "Taking a step back, even if we take Wu'an County, we won't be able to hold it." The Blackwater Gang is only the vanguard, and once Pingzhou Mu starts up, the Blackwater Country will definitely send a large army to support. At that time, Wu'an County will face the impact of the army of the Black Water Country. When the time comes, we won't even have a way out. ”
Li Boxiong and the three of them fell silent.
If Pingzhou rebels and the army of Heishui Kingdom attacks, Wu'an County will be a lonely city that can be defended without danger.
With these soldiers in the city, they will definitely not be able to hold it.
At this moment, there was a guard outside the door to report.
"Lord County Guard, Qinglongwei Chen Tang asks to see you."
Li Yan nodded and said, "Bring him over." ”
"I guess I'm here to see you."
Li Yan looked at Li Junqing and smiled slightly.
Li Jun lowered his head slightly and asked softly, "Dad, do you know everything?" ”
"It's rare to meet someone you like, how could Dad not know. It's just a pity, between you, alas. ”
Li Yan sighed: "You are going to leave this place, you may not have a chance to see him again in the future, say goodbye to him, stay a little longer." ”
"Why don't you ask him if he'd like to go with you?"
Li Boxiong said.
Li Zhongmou shook his head and said, "Chen Tang has now joined the Qinglong Division, and he is deeply valued by Cai Yin, how could he go to Longxi with us." ”
"Jun Qing, there are some things you don't have to say."
Li Yan admonished again.
"Got it."
Li Jun nodded lightly.
At this moment, under the leadership of the guards, Chen Tang came here.
I saw the county guard Li Yan, Li Boxiong, Li Zhongmou, and Li Junqing coming towards him.
"Master Chen is here."
Li Yan looked at Chen Tang, bowed slightly, said hello, and said, "You talk, I'm going to the county guard's mansion." ”
"Lord Gunner, I'm here to talk to you about it."
Chen Tang hurriedly stopped Li Yan.
"Oh?"
Li Yan smiled: "Jun Qing is going back to his hometown soon, don't you want to talk a few words?" ”
"Back home?"
Chen Tang asked, "Where is my hometown?" ”
Li Jun replied lightly: "Liangzhou Longxi." ”
"Oh?"
Chen Tang was stunned for a moment, a little in a trance.
Longxi Lee.
It seems that there was such a family in the previous life.
But soon, Chen Tang came back to his senses and suddenly asked, "Is Lord County Shou also leaving?" ”
"Of course I'm not leaving."
Li Yan smiled and shook his head.
Chen Tang looked at Li Boxiong and Li Zhongmou, and asked again: "What about the two eldest brothers, do you want to go back to Longxi?" ”
The two looked at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Chen Tang's words were a little abrupt, he seemed to know something!
Li Yan smiled and asked, "Lord Chen, what do you want to talk to me about?" ”
Chen Tang said: "About the rebellion of the Pingzhou herdsman! ”
The faces of the three brothers and sisters changed.
Li Yan's expression was as usual, still smiling, and asked, "How do you say this?" ”
"I'm sure the warden should already know about this."
Chen Tang said: "Otherwise, Jun Qing will not be arranged to leave Wu'an County." Moreover, I believe that Lord County Shou has some power in his command and can compete with the Huo family and the Blackwater Gang. ”
Having said that, it's not interesting to play dumb riddles anymore.
Li Yan asked, "Are you representing the Qinglong Division?" ”
"No, it's just me."
Chen Tang shook his head and said, "I don't know the position of the Qinglong Division. ”
Li Yan asked, "What do you want to say about this?" ”
Chen Tang asked: "What does the county guard mean, do you want your family to evacuate Wu'an County and stay alone?" ”
"As the county guard of Wu'an, I am an official of the imperial court, and I have the duty to stay in Wu'an County."
Li Yan said: "But the three of them are not, the safety of Wu'an County has nothing to do with them, there is no need to lose their lives in vain." ”
"If you stay in Wu'an County, you won't necessarily die."
Chen Tang said in a deep voice: "As long as the county guard controls Wu'an County in his hands and waits for the support of Qianguo, I believe that Qiantianzi will come to the rescue as soon as possible." ”

"How do you control it?"
Li Zhongmou asked, "With our current strength, we can't fight the Huo family and the Blackwater Gang. ”
Chen Tang asked, "I take the liberty of asking, how many people are available in the Li family now?" ”
Neither the brother nor sister spoke.
Li Yan said lightly: "About five hundred people." But the defenders of the four gates in the city have 500 people each, a total of 2,000 people, the yamen has more than 100 people, the Heishui Gang has 500 people and above, and the Huo family has at least a few hundred people. ”
"The Huo family and the Blackwater Gang can mobilize at least three thousand people in Wu'an County! My five hundred people are of no use at all. ”
Three thousand!
Chen Tang frowned secretly.
This amount is a bit much.
Normally, the defenders of a county town would not have so many people.
However, Qianguo has just ended the war for decades, and Pingzhou is adjacent to Heishui State, only separated by a 3,000-snow ridge, so the troops in Qianguo, in addition to the town soldiers, that is, the border soldiers, and the forbidden army in the capital, there are also state and county soldiers.
The Qianguo's control over the prefectures and counties was not as great as imagined.
Li Yan suddenly asked, "Did Huo San kill it by your people?" ”
"Sort of."
Chen Tang didn't want to expose Qing Mu's identity, so he said ambiguously.
Li Yan asked again: "So, can you mobilize the Vermilion Bird Guard?" ”
Chen Tang said: "The Vermilion Bird Guard of Wu'an County is no problem. ”
"Dad, if there is Suzaku Wei to help, there is a chance to take Wu'an County."
Li Boxiong said in a deep voice: "Most of the leaders of the defenders in the city are from the Huo family, but most of the soldiers below don't want to follow the Huo family to rebel. As long as you hold Wu'anhou, Huo Zinan, and Han Lang, you will have a chance to take over the defenders in the city! ”
What Li Boxiong said was right, among the 3,000 soldiers, only more than 1,000 people from the Huo family and the Blackwater Gang would follow them to rebel.
The defenders of the city were reluctant to take such a big risk.
Li Yan didn't answer, stared at Chen Tang and asked, "Even if you take Wu'an County, you won't be able to stop the support of the Black Water Country." ”
"Don't worry about this, I have my own way to cut off the support of the Blackwater Country."
Chen Tang's tone was firm.
In fact, he didn't know the bottom of his heart at all.
It's just out of trust in the mountain guest, so I can only say it head-on.
If he showed a little hesitation, Li Yan would definitely not be able to believe him.
"What's the solution?"
Li Yan didn't intend to let Chen Tang fool him by a word, and then asked.
Chen Tang said calmly: "I can't say it yet, otherwise it won't work." ”
can only talk nonsense, first bluff Li Yan and then talk.
Li Yan was silent for a while, but he still shook his head and said, "I can stay, but the three of them still have to go." ”
Chen Tang said: "It's no problem for them to go, just stay with the guards that the Li family has trained over the years." ”
Li Yan shook his head and said: "Those people are left to them a few last family funds, they can't stay in Wu'an County to take risks, once the city is broken, the whole army will be wiped out." ”
In the past few years, the Li family has indeed trained and trained a group of guards, but it is impossible for Li Yan to hand over their safety to Chen Tang with an ambiguous word.
Chen Tang fell silent.
With Li Yan's character, he really wouldn't accompany him to take such a big risk just because he said a few words.
He has just analyzed a lot of factors, but in fact, many of them are uncertain factors.
"Dad, let's stay with you and fight once!"
Li Boxiong said suddenly.
Li Zhongmou also nodded and said, "If we can hold Wu'an County and Pingzhou this time, our Li family will definitely be valued by the Son of Heaven and become a new upstart in the Qianguo." It's risky, but it's worth the effort. ”
Li Jun said lightly: "Yes, even if we all die here, there is still a third brother outside, and the Li family's bloodline will not be broken." ”
"That's not going to work either!"
Li Yan still flatly refused.
Li Zhongmou coughed lightly and said, "Dad, in fact, there is another reason, you owe Chen Tang a favor." ”
"What favor?"
Li Yan frowned.
Li Zhongmou said: "The best ginseng before is the ...... of the Chen Tang brothers."
"You ......"
Li Yan glared at Li Zhongmou and asked, "Didn't you say that Jun Qing found it in the Three Thousand Snow Mountains?" ”
"yes, that's right."
Li Zhongmou said: "The Chen Tang brothers she found in the Three Thousand Snow Ridge, and the Chen Tang brothers gave her the best ginseng, isn't this equivalent to what she found in the Three Thousand Snow Mountains." ”
Li Yan: "......"
Li Boxiong said: "Dad, you have eaten all the best ginseng in your stomach, and you won't be able to return it for a while." ”
"The three of you have come out of here, and you have learned to work together to deceive me!"
Li Yan glared at the three of them angrily, and then a touch of decisiveness flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "In this case, let's fight with the Huo family and the Blackwater Gang, and see who has the final say in this Wu'an County!" ”
"Lord Gunden is wise."
Chen Tang hurriedly praised.
Li Yan glanced at Chen Tang and said, "Nephew Chen Xian, do you still call me the county guard?" Part of the reason why I am willing to stay is because of Jun Qing's face. ”
"Dad, you're talking nonsense again."
Li Jun muttered softly.
Chen Tang smiled and changed his words: "Uncle Li." ”
Several people talked for a while, finalized some details, and then Chen Tang said goodbye and left.
Li Yan looked at Chen Tang's back, nodded secretly, and said, "The vision of your three brothers and sisters is indeed good, this son is not a thing in the pool, and there is a way to cut off the support of the Black Water Country?" I don't know if he is talking nonsense. ”
"Will he be a man of the palace?"
Li Zhongmou asked, "Vermilion Bird Guard, ordinary people can't command. ”
"Humph!"
Li Yan snorted lightly and said, "It has nothing to do with him, the one in his family is the one in the palace!" ”
