Chapter 1697 : A scholar dies for his confidant
In Lintao City, Li Siqi frowned and walked around the big tent. He didn't expect that Ming General was so powerful. He entered Pucheng without any effort and forced the surrender of the garrison Shi Cheng, the defender of Yuanfucheng (now in Luochuan, Shaanxi). As powerful as Zhang Sidaowen also led the army to flee to Qingyang, the old nest. This result was something he had never thought of. When Wang Baobao defeated Taiyuan, he still mocked Wang Baobao for not having hope of collecting most of them and losing his foundation. It was ridiculous. But now, no matter what he heard or saw, the Ming army was indeed powerful enough, so powerful that he could not deal with. Perhaps only the dead person let go and might win back.
He was a Han Chinese and did not have much favoritism for the Yuan Dynasty, and even hated many of the court's policies. However, over the years, he did not have the slightest desire to betray him. All this is due to the appreciation of Chahan Timur, who had died for many years. Women were honored for those who were close friends, and scholars died for those who were close friends. After reading some books, he could not say that he was full of scriptures, but he only remembered these two sentences.
After that, he followed this confidant, organized the localist soldiers, designed to attack Luoshan, pacify Henan, Shaanxi, curb the Red Turban Army, and maintain the court that was about to fall. He had no regrets along the way, but Chahan Timur died, dead at the hands of two villains. When he learned that Chahan Timur was killed, he drank alone that night and woke up and cried all night. That night, he told himself that he would never betray him. If it weren't for this, he would be unable to persist in today.
"Father--?" Zhao Qi, adopted son outside the door, shouted and pulled Li Siqi back from his thoughts.
"Come in?" Li Siqi didn't raise his head.
A sound of footsteps came in. The dim candlelight reflected the appearance of a person. A bronze square face with a bridge of nose a little bigger than that of ordinary people. The cheeks were covered with a thick beard. The person who came quickly glanced at Li Siqi sitting under the lamp with a pair of triangular eyes, and then quickly glanced at a large box on a large bed on the left side, with a greedy light flashing in his eyes.
"Where is Xu Da's army?" Li Siqi asked without raising her head.
Zhao Qi withdrew his gaze, subconsciously stretched out his tongue and licked his chapped lips. His body leaned forward a little, and whispered: "This morning, Xu Da's army divided into three groups and besieged Lintao!
Li Siqi did not show a look of surprise, his face was as normal, but his eyes flashed in the distance, and sighed: "Do you order the soldiers? No one is allowed to go out of the city to fight. If anyone disobeys the military order, kill him!"
"Yes!" Zhao Qi responded, quickly glanced at the big box on the bed from the corner of his eyes, slammed twice, and quickly left the big tent.
Li Siqi did not get up, and his eyes were still staring outside the tent. After a long time, he said to himself: "Sir, this is all that Bei Yi can do in the end!"
Outside Lintao City, Xiao Yunzheng talked about his experience in fighting with Geng Bingwen. This future No. 1 defender of the Ming Dynasty was really not a big deal. Sun Tzu's art of war was very well-informed, and it was even rare that he had unique insights. This was especially admired by General Xiao and often smiled and said, "If Zhao Kuo had half of your enlightenment back then, he might have become a famous general for all ages!"
Geng Bingwen looked proud, but he said a lot of vaguely: "It's far behind, it's far behind!"
General Xiao was so angry that he cursed "hypocrisy" that the two laughed.
Just as he was smiling, he saw Wang Ming coming over with a gloomy face, cursing while walking, looking very angry.
"I said, General Wang, it was the ladies from the kilns in that family who offended you and cursed all the way?"
When Wang Ming heard this, he suddenly smiled and said, "If the girl from the kiln arrives, I will never let an old man push a cart or something, let me play with you?"
Xiao Yun and Geng Bingwen looked at each other and said "Oh" each other. Xiao Yun smiled and said, "It's not a girl from the kiln. Can General Wang be so angry. It seems that this person is not simple?"
"Bad, just a turtle with a head-shrinking? That's not a simple one?" Wang Ming cursed.
Geng Bingwen was really curious and smiled and said, "I said Brother Wang, what are you singing about? You have confused us?"
Wang Ming continued to curse a few times and said, "Isn't that bastard Li Siqi?"
Xiao Yun thought to himself: "Li Siqi? Damn, why did he mess with you? Could it be that he would burst your anus? "Isn't your eyes scanned behind Wang Ming and said to himself: "Isn't this walking good? It doesn't look like it?"
Wang Ming didn't expect General Xiao to have a dirty thought. If he knew, he would have the idea of chasing him with a knife. The rash man pouted and cursed, and said dissatisfied: "This Li Siqi thought he was a hero, but who knew that his mother was a shrunk turtle. When his own army arrived, the immortal immortal actually ordered that he could not hold on. I had no war to fight. Tell me if this immortal immortal deserves to die!"
Xiao Yun and Geng Bingwen laughed a few times, and Xiao Yun said, "Please rest assured, General Wang, you will have a war soon?"
In addition to his favorite battle to kill the enemy, Wang Ming also wanted to go to the local brothel after the war ended, after occupying a city, he would definitely go to the local brothels and find a few girls from the kilns to make a good fortune, and call it the place where Wang Ming went, which is full of his women. Now, with Xiao Yun, this guy has more hobbies, that is, to listen to General Xiao analyze the enemy situation.
"How can I see it?" Wang Ming leaned over to General Xiao.
Xiao Yun frowned, subconsciously moved his steps, and said angrily: "This is not simple. Li Siqi's foundation is in Fengxiang. Where is his Fengshui treasure land? Now that our army is chasing all the way, we have to escape to Lintao. Although Lintao is called Didao, it has been a famous city in the northwest, an important town in Longyou, and an important road to the ancient Silk Road. It is one of the birthplaces of ancient culture in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. However, the people here are brave. Li Siqi first came here and his foundation is not stable. How can he hold on for a long time? So when the food and grass in the city are exhausted, the war is just around the corner?"
Wang Ming clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Yes, why didn't I expect it?"
Xiao Yun laughed and scolded, "It would be strange if you can think of it?" The three of them laughed and laughed in the big tent outside the Chenmen.
In Lintao City, Li Siqi was looking at a simple city defense piled up on the table with flags filled with various colors. When he saw Lanzhou occupied by the Ming army, he sighed heavily: "He knew that he had no way out, and the only way to survive was outside the main gate of Lintao Ancient City.
