Minister Li returned home and immediately gathered the children of his clan.

Thinking of a small country like Zhu Xin, there are generally several big clans in the city, and several big clans help the lord govern the city-state, and these big clans also hold many positions on the side of the lord of the country.

Many prominent figures in the clan generally hold the position of patriarch. Like Minister Li, he is an outstanding figure in the Li family, not only serving as the patriarch in the family, but also serving as a minister.

Zhu Xin has 11 ministers, and there are 11 clans. Generally, a large clan has a minister as the main backbone, and the rest of the children hold important positions in the city.

In a small city-state like Zhu Xin, basically all the positions were divided among these families.

There were more than 80 people in the Li family, and there were 27 warriors who could take up arms, and they all gathered at Minister Li's house.

And the 11 families are like aristocrats, ruling the city-state together with Zhu Xin, the lord of the country.

The 27 people stood upright in front of Minister Li, quietly waiting for Minister Li's orders.

Li Dacheng's frowning brows gradually relaxed, and he slowly spoke: "It is enough for us to defeat the armies of the three city-states, and we have gained a lot and captured many people. But I've just arrived at the intel!"

"Behind the Ling Kingdom is the Divine Wind Country, and the Divine Wind Kingdom army has already arrived in Ling City, there are 30,000 of them! And as a vassal state, I'm afraid that we will be the first to be consumed, so I decided to open the city gate tonight and lead the enemy into the city. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little puzzled, but as a child of the clan, how could they not know that this method could best protect the entire family?

It's just that this statement is a bit shameful.

Sure enough, someone immediately objected: "Patriarch, once this is done, I am afraid that our Li clan will become the laughing stock of the nobles, and this will be a great shame for our Li clan." ”

Yes, that's not wrong at all. Since ancient times, courtiers have killed their masters, and those who have committed the following offenses are the most feared and shameful.

Even if you take refuge in the new lord in the future, the new lord will not trust you, after all, you can betray the previous lord, who can guarantee your loyalty to yourself?

However, Minister Li did see it very clearly: "Nobles, don't think about these anymore, once we take refuge in King Ling, our aristocratic status will no longer exist." ”

Minister Li's eyes were a little deep and said, "Troubled times are coming." In troubled times, saving your life comes first!"

Then he stared at the Li disciples and said: "My Li children should be self-reliant, in this troubled world, my Li children should have a lot to do." Lin Guo is backed by the Divine Flash Country, and the official fortune will be more accessible in the future. ”

Most responded, "Yes." "But there are always objections.

A weak voice asked, "Then why don't you choose Fengxue?"

Minister Li was a little helpless, and others praised and asked, but you were the only one who objected. Some angrily looked for the person who spoke, and saw that it was his son, Li Heng.

His son sneaked in from his small room and eavesdropped.

His son is like a little fan of Feng Xue, but his son is only ten years old, and he can't reprimand and scold, so he can only pick it up and explain slowly: "The wind and snow seem to be powerful, but every battle, all of them are solved with the momentum of thunder. ”

"The second is the logistics supply, Lingcheng slave country, backed by the kamikaze country, most of the soldiers are slaves, and the slaves as long as they starve to death, and the wind monarch not only has to provide his own grain and grass, but also the supply of other vassal countries, the national strength of the country of Feng is not strong. Compared to the two, the odds of winning the wind and snow are not high. ”

After saying these two points, Minister Li sighed and said, "The third point is also the most important point. Feng Xue must know that his supply of food and grass is insufficient, so it is very likely that he will use us as cannon fodder. So I decided to open the gates tonight. ”

The group nodded, and then returned to their homes, took up arms, and waited for the night to come.

......

In a busy camp, more than a dozen nobles gathered around the fire to discuss countermeasures.

"We must be ashamed of this night attack," one nobleman suggested.

"Yes, kill them all. ”

The nobleman Zhao proposed: "I also want to take revenge, and cut off the head of their lord and sacrifice it to King Ling." The proposal was instantly supported.

Nobleman Zhao only used a few words to bring the topic to King Ling's head.

Several of the nobles looked at each other a few times, and when the time was ripe, the Zhao nobles began to say: "Our king is gone, and even 1,500 soldiers are left, and there are only 1,200 left, and we all have great losses!"

Several nobles who had looked at each other suggested, "Yes, I think we should choose someone to lead us in battle." ”

The other nobles are not stupid, and they instantly understood that this Zhao nobleman, he wants to be the commander of more than a dozen nobles!

Two or three nobles immediately objected, but before the words could be spoken, each was met with two or three other nobles looking at each other.

They understood at once, and their eyes searched for their soldiers. But a closer look found that there were more than 1,000 people present, including three or four hundred, all of whom were behind Zhao Noble.

There were also eight or nine nobles, and there were about five or six hundred under them, which was nearly a thousand.

This strength directly shocked the careful thinking of three or four nobles.

So Zhao nobleman smiled again and asked, "How about it?

These three nobles didn't dare to think carefully anymore, and immediately nodded in agreement.

As the night deepened, the fire was extinguished, but the mind gradually increased.

......

Zhu Xin fell asleep, and the whole city also fell asleep, but he didn't know that someone was sharpening his knife.

Noble Li put on the armor that had been prepared long ago, and took out more than 30 bronze swords from under the bed.

"This is the weapon that King Ling gave us, children, quickly distribute it. Tonight, the ten of you stand guard and take the opportunity to get rid of the guards. Noble Li commanded.

After everyone responded, they walked out of the house with Li nobles.

Ten of the Li clan's disciples at the West City Gate took shifts, chatting with the patrol officers.

The gates were guarded by men and horses, one by the sons of the nobles and the other by ordinary soldiers. The purpose of this was to prevent anyone from mutiniing and opening the gates of the city without permission to lure the enemy into the city.

The Li family was chatting, but their eyes were staring at the city gate from time to time.

The city gate is not said to be opened, there is a very heavy wood in the city gate, and the weight of this barrel cannot be lifted without seven or eight people.

And if someone finds out, it would be bad to carry the wood back again.

It was late at night, and the ordinary soldiers were getting more and more sleepy, and their reactions were becoming more and more sluggish.

Li Guizhu quickly found the right time, led people to attack from both sides, and harvested life.

"Li San, you go and light the torch and wave your hand on the city wall. The rest of you, carry the wood with me. ”

With a "bang", the heavy log was thrown directly to the ground. The enemies who were lying in ambush outside the city poured into the small city like fish.
