Xue Ji has seen many things, and now she has finally cleared up the fog in her mind and understood the hardships of her lover and Li Mu.

Under the persuasion of her aunt, Ying Xiaozheng finally calmed down.

He took a few deep breaths, then threw the letter that Zhu Xiang had written to him and stomped on it a few times.

"Damn uncle! Just know how to make trouble! Ying Xiaozheng scolded a few words and apologized to Li Mu, "Teacher, I'm too anxious and rude." ”

Li Mu said: "You don't need to apologize to me. ”

He picked up the letter that Ying Xiaozheng had stepped on a few times, patted the mud on it, and saw what Zhu Xiang had written.

Seeing that Zhu Xiang wrote himself as a bully who forced his friends to give advice, as this "helpless" friend, Li Mu was speechless and wanted to laugh.

It is worthy of Zhu Xiang.

Chapter 193: Qin Chu sings without clothes

Now it is wartime, and every county of Qin has an army, and the county guard is also the general who leads the army.

Li Mu led the army guarding the southern Qin frontier, which was a direct subordinate army of the Qin king independent of the local area, and only obeyed the orders of the Qin king and the tiger.

Yes, although Li Mu stationed troops on the Yangtze River, he actually led the border guards. He is actually a border general.

So Li Mu's soldiers haven't come back yet, and Wu County still has soldiers. Ying Xiaozheng, the county guard of Wu County, is also qualified to directly mobilize Wu County's soldiers.

Li Mu himself came back with his deputy general and personal soldiers, just to use Wu County's own soldiers.

Chu Guo didn't figure this out himself.

Li Mu has been wandering around Wu County, and he has also taken charge of Wu County many times, and they all think that Li Mu is the county guard of Wu County, and he only cares about Wu County's soldiers.

Li Mu also deliberately created this illusion to the outside world.

Whether it is Zhu Xiang or Ying Xiaozheng, they usually hand over the military power of Wu County to Li Mu, and they almost never care about the affairs of the Wu County garrison. Li Mu, a general in the border area, does not take Yulu to do half of the county guard work, such as suppressing bandits, training troops, and logistics.

If Zhu Xiang and Ying Xiaozheng are lazy, or leave Wu County temporarily, he will also take care of the administrative farming and mulberry taxes.

In Li Mu's opinion, what he is doing now is not much different from what he is doing in Yanmen County; In the eyes of Zhu Xiang and Ying Xiaozheng...... Cough, anyway, those who can work hard, and they won't have more money.

Therefore, it is normal for the people of Chu to misunderstand.

In an era of information blockage, it is very difficult to find information between countries. It is even more difficult for a bulk country like the state of Chu.

Li Mu let the border army led by him slow down with great momentum, and let the spies sent by Xiang Yan keep sending back information that "Li Mu did not come back", and secretly returned to Wu County, took over the Wu County garrison from Ying Xiaozheng, and supported Zhu Xiang.

Xiang Yan only stared at his soldiers, not at him, the general, which was Xiang Yan's biggest mistake.

This kind of mistake was encountered by Zhao Guoren once. Who would have thought that the same Qin army would be completely different if it was replaced by a main general?

Now Li Mu is repeating his old skills.

A good strategy can be reused by different people, and it should be fooled or fooled.

"Do you have to let my uncle stay for ten years?" After Li Mu came back, Ying Xiaozheng felt a lot more stable.

Wang Jian can force Xiang Yan to commit suicide in the future, and so can my teacher!

Li Mu said: "It depends. If Zhu Xiang can't support it, I will send troops immediately. If Zhu Xiang can hold on, just wait for ten years. ”

Ying Xiaozheng asked, "Why does it have to be ten years?" ”

Li Mu said: "In the tenth time gate, the news of Zhu Xiang's defense of the city can probably spread outside the Chu State, attracting the common attention of the seven countries. ”

Ying Xiaozheng frowned for a while and said, "Uncle will really be fine?" ”

Li Mu soothed: "Every time Zhu Xiang takes an adventure, he has to do it, in his own words, he is actually very afraid of death and trouble. ”

Ying Xiaozheng immediately showed a mocking expression: "Oh, I believe it." ”

Li Mu said: "He is indeed so, very sensible, and will not deliberately take risks." Zhu Xiang knew that he couldn't go to the front line, so he wouldn't go to the front line. Don't worry, as long as the Chu army has the potential to break through the city gate, I will send troops immediately. ”

Ying Xiaozheng thought for a while and said, "I'll go too." ”

Yukihime immediately said, "No! ”

Li Mu said, "Okay." ”

Xue Ji said anxiously: "Li Qing, no! ”

Li Mu said: "Xue Ji, don't worry, with my protection, Zheng'er will not be injured." Zheng'er didn't see the situation in Guangling City with his own eyes, and he wouldn't be relieved. Not to mention ......"

Li Mu looked at Ying Xiaozheng: "My uncle was trapped in a lonely city, and my nephew personally rescued him, and it was also a good story to spread it." The prince of Qin has no merit, although it is just an empty word, but if Zheng'er has military merits, he will be more confident. ”

There was such a slogan when Qin Guo Shang changed the law, but in fact, King Qin also wanted to knight his favorite son, but he had an excuse when he was too lazy to be knighted.

For example, King Qin Zhaoxiang only has two sons, so An Guojun can be crowned king without any merit in eating, drinking, and having fun.

Li Mu had already thought about how to take Ying Xiaozheng to rub his military exploits, but he knew that he couldn't convince Zhu Xiang, and suddenly let the prince follow the army, and his attitude of rubbing military exploits was too obvious.

Now that Zhu Xiang is trapped in a lonely city, the prince and Zhu Xiang are only separated by a river, and it is not normal for the prince to lead the army to rescue, isn't this military merit logical?

Xue Ji was taken by Zhu Xiang to learn a lot of the laws and rules of the Qin State, and knew the importance of military exploits to the nobles of the Qin State.

She hesitated, "Is there really no danger?" ”

Li Mu said: "No. ”

Seeing that Li Mu was so confident, Xue Ji looked at Ying Xiaozheng: "Zheng'er, you swear to your aunt that you will never go on the field to kill the enemy in person." ”

Xue Ji thought for a while and said, "Swear by your favorite osmanthus cake, if you break your oath, you will not be allowed to eat osmanthus cake for the rest of your life." ”

Li Mu's calm and indifferent expression trembled.

Yukihime, are you coaxing the child?

Ying Xiaozheng's bully cool drag expression was also a little untenable.

He said helplessly: "Uncle, I'm no longer a child, can I change my vow?" For example, swearing to the ancestors or heaven and earth? ”

Xue Ji said: "Your uncle once said that swearing to the ancestors and heaven and earth is too illusory, and you have to swear by what everyone can supervise to be effective. ”

Li Mu raised his forehead and said, "It's what Zhu Xiang will say." Zheng'er, listen to your aunt, it's just osmanthus cake. ”

Ying Xiaozheng set off turbulent waves in his heart.

What do you mean by just osmanthus cake?! If I can't help but want to kill the enemy in person, won't I have to issue an edict to change the name of the osmanthus cake in the future? That's humiliating!

Under the urging of his aunt's gaze, the young political commissar raised three fingers aggrievedly and swore to the osmanthus cake.

If I break my oath, I will not eat osmanthus cake for the rest of my life.

Xue Ji nodded with satisfaction and allowed Ying Xiaozheng to go out and stay in the county mansion by herself.

It's just a little bit of logistics, and she can do it temporarily.

Li Mu tried to hold back his laughter and kept this matter in his heart. When he saw Zhu Xiang, he would describe today's picture to Zhu Xiang vividly, so that Zhu Xiang could remember it well.

Zhu Xiang is still writing the "Diary of a Raised Nephew", and he once regretted that after Zheng'er grew up, there were fewer and fewer interesting things in the "Diary of a Raised Nephew".

Today's events should be considered interesting.

After Li Mu and Ying Xiaozheng reached a consensus, they first traveled west to the junction of Wu County and Nan County during the day, and rowed by the old road fishermen at night to cross the Yangtze River in the dark.

Although the Chu army recaptured all the cities on the north bank of the Yangtze River, the Chu army's boat division on the Yangtze River had been almost destroyed, and the recaptured cities were burned, and that piece of land was almost no man's land, so the Qin army went ashore behind Xiang Yan, and Xiang Yan didn't know.

Xiang Yan is actually very aware of the blind spot of the Chu army, and he should be on guard against being attacked by the enemy.

But the Qin army barely resisted and decisively withdrew to the north bank of the Yangtze River. When only Guangling City, garrisoned by Zhu Xiang, the Emperor of Changping, was left on the north bank of the Yangtze River, Xiang Yan concluded that the Qin army would also abandon Guangling City and would not fight against the Chu army.

After burning the city on the north bank of the Yangtze River, the north bank of the Yangtze River was almost a burden to the Qin State.

The cost of building cities, relocating common people, and reopening wasteland is huge, and if Qin does such a stupid thing, Chu can constantly harass Qin when he builds cities, and Qin's gains outweigh the losses.

If the Qin State set foot on the north bank of the Yangtze River again, it would be the time for a full-scale war with the Chu State, and it would send troops to drive straight into the hinterland of the Chu State. At that time, the layers of fortresses set up by the Chu army, and the wilderness with no supplies at all, would cause the Qin army to suffer greatly.

On the north bank of the Yangtze River, there is only one city left in Guangling City, even if it is defended? It is surrounded by Chu land, and the Southern Chu Jun can build a barracks around it to blockade it, so that the people of Guangling City can never go out of the city gate to cultivate.

What's more, Changpingjun's status is precious, and Prince Qin is only separated from Guangling City by a river, how can Prince Qin allow Changpingjun to be trapped in a lonely city and encounter danger?

Changping-kun will definitely leave. Changpingjun has left, even if there are Qin generals stationed in the garrison, it is only a symbolic resistance, and talk to him about the conditions of opening the door and surrendering without slaughtering the city, so as to protect Changpingjun's reputation.

Xiang Yan and Southern Chujun had already discussed that if the city was easily breached, it would just smear Changpingjun's reputation, saying that Changpingjun abandoned the city and ignored it, which led to the killing of these Guangling people who were attached to Qin; If the city is not easy to break, then it is nothing to add another stroke to Changpingjun's reputation, and they can also use this matter to become a person who sympathizes with Changpingjun.

You don't lose anything.

When he learned that Li Mu was still in South Vietnam and it would be difficult for the army to come back in a short time, Xiang Yan was even more firm in his judgment, and he didn't care whether the Qin army would cross the river behind him and attack.

Xiang Yan's judgment is obviously not problematic, in other words, anyone in this era will do what he thinks.

It's a pity that Zhu Xiang is not a person of this era. Some of his insistences were not understood by everyone in the world, including his relatives and friends, and Xiang Yan was naturally not exempt from vulgarity, which caused Xiang Yan to fall into the current predicament.

When Xiang Yan saw Zhu Xiang appear at the head of Guangling City, she sweated in her heart.

The Qin army will definitely come to the rescue, and he will definitely suffer from the enemy on his back. The only thing he could do now was to capture Guangling City as soon as possible, and hold Zhu Xiang hostage before the Qin army could support him, so as to order the Qin State to retreat.

But even if Xiang Yan knew that she was wrong in her prediction, she couldn't understand why she was wrong in her prediction.

Guangling City, as an isolated city on the north bank of the Yangtze River, was indeed worthless to the Qin State. Even if the Qin State held on here, facing the encirclement of the Southern Chu State, it would definitely outweigh the losses.

Why is Chang Pingjun so stupid and ignores danger? Is it really just because of the massacre and internal relocation order?

Xiang Yan was caught off guard by Zhu Xiang's stupidity, and laughed angrily.

Could it be that Zhu Xiang's plan was to defend Guangling City, take advantage of the gap in the time gate of the Chu army's withdrawal, and lead all the common people of Guangling City to cross south? That's stupid, isn't it?

Xiang Yan's appearance of being destroyed by Zhu Xiang's mentality is very similar to Bai Qi and Li Mu's mentality being collapsed by stupid people.

Smart people can play games, normal people can predict, but this kind of stupid person who doesn't understand what he's thinking at all, harms others and doesn't benefit himself, it's really hard to resist.

What Xiang Yan didn't expect was that although the friends around Zhu Xiang couldn't fully understand Zhu Xiang's persistence, they respected and supported Zhu Xiang's persistence, and always wanted to help Zhu Xiang find a balance between ideals and reality.

It was Li Mu who entered Wu in a lonely boat at night, and together with Prince Qin, led 10,000 reinforcements across the Yangtze River at night and stationed behind him.

Although the vicinity of Gwangneung Fortress is a flat river, it is full of water and heat in summer. Xiang Yan burned the city and relocated, several villages became ruins, and the long weeds were like bamboo shoots after the rain, growing when they saw the wind, and in an instant the door swallowed up the traces of human life.

Especially beside the water, the reeds grow as tall as a man, and it is almost impossible to see that there were once people washing clothes by the river every day to draw water.

This was, but only a dozen days ago.

The 10,000 elite soldiers of the Qin army were hidden in an abandoned farmland.

If this farmland had not been burned, the golden waves of rice would have been able to catch the sky, like an ocean.
