Li Yan is not a loser like Xu Changlu. If he doesn't handle it well, problems can easily arise. Negotiations are expected, but enough pressure must be put on Li Yan to gain enough benefits.
But Xu Changlu had to be on guard. Tie Mo was very doubtful about Xu Changlu's ability. Such a person could actually lead troops on an expedition. I really don't know what those people in Nanjing were thinking. Look at what Xu Changlu did before.
If we send them, they probably won’t be able to do anything good. Xu Zhixin also had the same idea. She said frankly: “Xu Changlu leads the troops to attack. We don’t need to get involved. If those people want to fight, then let them fight. Don’t eat anything.
Unfortunately, they really think that the bandits are made of mud."
Tie Mo nodded and agreed deeply, "It must be like this, but we have to take more precautions. I don't know what trouble Xu Changlu will cause. I am afraid that he has not fought the bandits, but will cause us trouble."
After discussing with Xu Hongji, a series of orders were quickly conveyed to the subordinates. Some things must be prepared in advance, so that if Xu Changlu is defeated, he can wipe his ass. Tie Mo never thinks that Xu Changlu can win any battle.
, a second-generation ancestor would be damned if he could get favors from people like Li Zicheng. Tie Mo would not even persuade Xu Changlu to postpone the attack. Doing so would be thankless and might even be said to have ulterior motives.
The Sixth Ministry sent Xu Changlu to lead troops to sweep away the bandits and take the lead in suppressing the bandits. If you tell Xu Changlu not to be busy fighting, the Sixth Ministry officials might seize the opportunity to slap you. What should Xu Changlu do? Tie Mo and Xu Hongji
I can't control it, but Xu Changlu shouldn't affect the grand strategy of the Beijing camp and the border army.
Regarding Li Yan, Tie Mo was still a little worried. Xu Hongji felt very strange and couldn't help but asked: "I heard that Li Yan is young and lacks experience. Why is Inspector Tie so afraid of this person?"
"Hey, sir, you have ambitions but not your age. Li Yan is by no means an ordinary person. What kind of person is Li Zicheng? The fact that he can grant Li Yan such a high status shows Li Yan's talent. So this time,
The rogue bandits sent Li Yan over to negotiate, so we have to be more careful. In addition, those who know this matter must also keep the secret. If the news reaches the ears of those in Nanjing early, we will not be able to escape the charge of collaborating with bandits.
"
Xu Hongji nodded solemnly and said solemnly: "You can rest assured about this. The only people who know about this are you and my close associates, and it will never reach the ears of those people."
Tie Mo thought for a while, with a strange smile on his face, and then waved to Xu Zhixin. Xu Zhixin leaned over in confusion. The two of them whispered to each other, and Xu Zhixin nodded twice, then her expression changed.
He looked at Tie Mo strangely. This expression made Xu Hongji look confused, but when he asked, Xu Zhixin didn't say anything.
When Tie Mo and Xu Hongji and his daughter were urgently discussing matters, a young man had already arrived at the outer camp. This person was Li Yan. Ever since Li Yan arrived at the camp, the sand sculpture had been following him all the way.
As they came forward, Sha Diao was also very impressed by Li Yan. At such a young age, he came to the frontier camp alone with no fear on his face. This boy is definitely not a good person. If this boy joins the Yun Mansion, there will be one more person under his command in the city.
The tiger general, unfortunately, followed Li Zicheng.
After being arranged into the barracks, Li Yan closed his eyes to rest, and there was no trace of anxiety on his face. How could Li Yan not be anxious? But he understood a truth, the more anxious he is about this kind of thing, the more he will suffer. Li Yan is not anxious
, then Tie Mo was even less anxious. For two days in a row, Li Yan went in and out of the barracks, and except for the idiot who couldn't tell the truth, he didn't see anyone who could make the decision. Tie Mo and the Xu family's father and daughter seemed to have disappeared.
It was normal, and gradually, Li Yan couldn't bear it anymore.
After all, Li Yan is still too young. Experience is very important in matters like negotiation. No matter how capable you are, if you don’t have relevant experience, you will easily be blinded. Li Yan’s face remains calm, but his heart is scratching like a cat’s claw.
Generally speaking, there was a clanking sound outside, as if someone was moving something. Li Yan was upset, so he walked out of the tent to see what was going on.
Since Li Yan came to the camp, Tie Mo has not restricted his freedom. Because this is an outlying camp, there are no secrets, and naturally he is not afraid of people seeing it. Except for a few important places that Li Yan cannot go to, he can wander around at will in other places.
After entering the barracks, I walked toward the place where the sound came from. Not long after, I saw several carriages near the entrance of the camp. Dozens of soldiers were sweating profusely loading wooden boxes into the carriages. The wooden boxes were not big, but the soldiers moved the boxes.
Carefully.
Near the carriage, a woman was saying something seriously, seeming to tell everyone to be careful. Judging from the woman's attire and appearance, she was probably Xu Hongji's beloved daughter Xu Zhixin. Li Yan's heart moved, and he was about to go over and follow him.
The sand sculpture next to him immediately stopped in front, holding a long knife across the front, and said lightly: "There is a strong military area ahead, don't go forward."
"Huh?" Li Yan didn't force it, but he made a secret decision. At this moment, a soldier was not very careful and the wooden box in his hand slipped aside and hit the edge of the carriage, and the wooden cover fell off. Not far away.
Xu Zhixin, who was standing there, was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She ran over and yelled at the soldier, her voice so sharp that even Li Yan, who was standing far away, heard it.
"Bastard, didn't I tell you to be careful? Do you want to kill everyone? Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and load the car..." Xu Zhixin stroked her forehead, her voice mixed with a hint of anger.
Li Yan seemed to be listening, but all his attention was focused on the wooden box. When the wooden cover fell off, he saw a vague shadow. The golden shell, tapered shape, and a pointed end. Look.
When he saw the things in the wooden box, cold sweat broke out on Li Yan's back. He was sure that those things were all artillery shells. After being bombed so many times, if you still don't know what artillery shells look like, you can only say
It's been in a dog's belly for so many years.
If these several carts of artillery shells fall on the heads of the rebels, it will be almost a disaster. When everyone discussed it before, Mr. Niu judged that there would not be too many shells left in the hands of the King of Hell, and he could rely on this to deal with the opponent.
Pressure, so that the rebels will lose less blood. Now it seems that Mr. Niu's judgment may be wrong.
Of course, Li Yan didn't fully believe it. As soon as he came out to check out the situation, he bumped into a wooden box falling. Was it a coincidence? Li Yan was suspicious. What if it was a trap?
That night, after there was no movement outside, Li Yan saw the guard taking a nap next to him, so he quietly left the barracks. At this time, the camp was a little quiet, and only the footsteps of the patrol came from a distance. In the past few days, Li Yan
Yan was already very familiar with the camp. After evading the patrols, he successfully arrived at the place where the trucks were loaded during the day. There were hundreds of boxes of things that had not been moved, but there were many soldiers guarding the area.
There was no open flame nearby, and there wasn't even any fire starter around the camp. The barracks were also specially constructed to prevent fire. Every time the patrol came within twenty feet of the barracks, they would extinguish the torches.
Gradually, Li Yan's heart sank. Looking at this situation, those running orders were probably true. Li Yan was very depressed. On the way back, he met an angry sand sculpture. The sand sculpture glanced at Li Yan.
, said very rudely: "Li Yan, we have a word in advance, we are not allowed to leave the barracks at night. This is the first time, and next time, be careful with your head. Someone comes, escort Li Yan back to the barracks, and the person in charge of guarding will drag him away.
Go down and beat twenty army sticks."
To be honest, Li Yan didn't even know how he got back to the barracks. All he could think about now was shells. Recently, the rebels were blown away by the artillery of the Living King of Hell. He was very afraid of those shells. Those shells would be blasted.
You don't have to think about where it was transported to. It must have been sent to the artillery position near Mopan Camp.
No wonder the Living King of Hell has not been in a hurry, he is completely confident. When those shells are in place, the officers and soldiers of Mopan Camp can fight a big battle again. If it does happen, it is estimated that the rebels will still suffer a disastrous defeat.
Li Yan stayed in the camp and could not wait for Tie Mo to come, but he did wait for the news that Xu Changlu was leading troops to Jiuhua Mountain. For some reason, Li Yan was a little happy when he heard that Xu Changlu was leading troops. So, Li Yan
For the first time, he took the initiative to say to Sha Diao: "General Sha, it has been four days. When can Li see Iron Governor and Mr. Xu?"
Sha Diao glanced at Li Yan, curled his lips and said with a strange smile: "You want to see the Superintendent and the Master, you should have told me earlier, they are always in the camp, you can see them at any time. Li Yan, you also
Really, if you want to see the supervisor, just say so, why did it take so long?"
"General Sha, Mr. Li..." Li Yan is also very eloquent, but when facing the sand sculpture, he feels like a dog biting a hedgehog and has no way to bite him. If the sand sculpture doesn't speak, then he speaks.
It's so fucking annoying.
Sha Diao didn't bother to care about Li Yan's reaction. He rolled his eyes and walked forward. Not long after, Sha Diao led Li Yan through many levels and finally saw Tie Mo and Xu Hongji in a relatively tidy room. Seeing
When Tie Mo was cooking, Li Yan felt like he was going crazy. In the room, there was a low table, a copper basin, and hot soup. The three masters each held a bowl, rinsing the meat and vegetables.
It was a great pleasure to eat.
Li Yan was very troubled. He was frightened for several days. It was better to live in Hell. He was eating and drinking and living well. He dared to fall in love with others. He was really not in a hurry. Li Yan did not have any negotiation experience, but he was tolerant enough and knew that no matter what, he could not
It shows on the face.
After bowing his hands and giving a salute, Li Yan said with a smile: "Li Yan has met the Supervisor, Lord. When he came, Chief Gao ordered Li to have a good talk with you two. I wonder if you two are willing to give Li this opportunity?"
Tie Mo's mouth was filled with oil and he said very strangely: "Li Yan, what you said is wrong. If my father-in-law and I don't give you a chance, do you think you can enter the camp alive? We are also wondering, you would have been there sooner
You’re here, but why don’t you come to us?”
"..." Li Yan almost choked to death. Isn't it a normal negotiation routine for everyone to delay time and consume patience? Did I, Li Yan, learn it wrong?
Li Yan looked embarrassed, but he had to say what needed to be said. Since he was here today, he had to get to the point no matter what, "Superintendent and Master, you two are also veterans on the battlefield. You must know how to fight again."
If we go down, it will probably be of no benefit to either of us. Although our army is trapped on Straw Hat Slope, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops. If we really have a head-on conflict, are you two confident that we can stop it?"
Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Tie Mo smiled and said: "You are right, there are too many soldiers and horses to stop them. But why should we stop everyone? As long as we keep an eye on Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng's gang, it will be fine. Mr.
Do you think this is true?"
Xu Hongji nodded seriously, "That's right. As long as you eliminate those bandit leaders, the rest will not be a problem. You only need to slowly eliminate them and you will be successful immediately." After saying this, Xu Hongji looked at him with a provocative look.
Li Yan. Li Yan couldn't help but frown. There was really no way to refute this. The officers and soldiers really had to keep an eye on Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng. With the strength of the cavalry under the command of the King of Hell, the courage of Cao Wenzhao and others, Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng
It is really difficult for Li Zicheng and others to leave South Zhili alive.
But how could Li Yan be fooled so easily? He calmed down and smiled, "What the Superintendent said is indeed true, but have you ever thought about it? If you want to kill Gao Leader and others, you two have to
It requires paying a huge price. Is it really worth it? As far as Li knows, once the loss is too heavy, the rest of your life will not be easy, right?"
Li Yan was very particular about what he said. He never mentioned the word "Chuang King" from beginning to end, and spoke directly to "High Leader". He just didn't want to irritate Tie Mo and others. A bandit leader dared to call himself "Chuang King". Which family's king? This was not a negotiation.
It's here to add fuel to the fire.
After Li Yan finished speaking, Xu Zhixin, who had been silent, couldn't help but look at the other party. Li Yan is indeed not a simple person. Indeed, as he said, once the loss is too heavy, neither Tie Mo nor Xu Hongji can accept it. The loss of Jingying
If it is too large, the power of the Duke of Wei's future voice will decline rapidly. If Tie Mo suffers too much loss, then Huang Taiji and Lin Danhan, who have always been eyeing the Hanhai Prairie, should take action.
Especially Tie Mo, who has proudly stood up to Zhang Bei for many years and managed the Yun Mansion in a monolithic manner. The Mongols and Jurchens did not dare to invade, relying on the elite soldiers and generals under his command. Otherwise, the position of the Yun Mansion would have been robbed by foreigners.
's fell apart.
What Li Yan said was correct, but it didn't necessarily frighten Tie Mo. He just pouted and said disdainfully: "If you want to fight hard, you have to have a chance. I will go all out and smash all the cannonballs."
, when the time comes, Gao Yingxiang and the others will pray for their lives."
"..."
Li Yan felt his scalp numb. Wasn't it negotiation? Shouldn't he be bargaining? Why did he threaten him? But when Tie Mo said this, he really had to take it from his heart, because the living king of hell can usually say what he can and he can do it. He is really anxious.
, he really dared to sweep the Straw Hat Slope with artillery fire. When the time comes, the lucky ones will leave, and the unlucky ones will stay.
Are you gambling on your life? Can King Chuang, General Li and others do this?
