Chapter 177 The property returns to its original owner
Four guards carried a soft couch and carried Li Wenxiao into the handsome tent.
I saw that his face was like gold paper and his energy was like a gossamer. He seemed to be more seriously ill than Liu Huiwang?
Everyone was surprised, how could it suddenly look like this?
Only Liu Huiwang looked normal, as if he already knew what happened.
"Sit!"
He pointed to the low couch beside him, looked at Li Wenxiao intently, and smiled softly: "Can the general still lead the army?"
Li Wenxiao's expression froze as he felt the blessing come to his heart.
He actually heard murderous intent from Liu Huiwang's soft smile?
Just because the eight thousand elite volunteers fell into the hands of Li Wenzhong and Li Mao, he was going to kill himself?
Liu Huiwang knew better than himself how Li Chengzhi won these consecutive battles. Although he did not know how to fight, he was not an ignorant person. He should know that this was a non-war crime.
What's more, even if he needs to be punished for his crimes, it shouldn't be now. Otherwise, based on his weak soldiers and generals, how many of them are Li Chengzhi's opponents?
While thinking about it, Li Wenxiao glanced across the low couch inadvertently and saw the bronze medal in Liu Huiwang's hand.
Letter: The Liu family is the king, and the Li family is the assistant...
This thing was concocted by him, and he knows very well that it cannot be fake anymore.
But Liu Huiwang didn’t know it was fake, so why did he take it out so openly?
In fact, before he came, he was prepared to discuss the conditions with Liu Huiwang. Even if he couldn't break the pot, he at least wanted to let this bald thief know that he, Li Wenxiao, was not a cat or a dog.
/p>
But for some reason, Li Wenxiao always felt that Liu Huiwang wanted to do this?
With surprise and doubt in his heart, Li Wenxiao sat upright and bowed to Liu Huiwang: "The King of Dharma has his orders, and Li Wenxiao dares to die if he doesn't obey!"
Nominally, Liu Huiwang is the master, and the Wuzhi Li family is just a subordinate. Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied Li Wenxiao is in his heart, he must express his submission on the surface.
"Just die if you dare!"
Liu Huiwang smiled slightly.
Li Wenxiao's crime was more than just failing to lead the army properly?
If it weren't for the fact that there was no one available, Li Wenxiao would have died hundreds of times...
If he dares to say no even half a word today, he will be full of members of the Wu Zhi Li family and not even a single person will be left alive...
"From today on, all the generals in the hall will obey your orders, but those who do not obey the orders can be killed. Except for the holy guards, all the battalions are also at your disposal. I only want you to kill that Li Chengzhi and open up the
The road to the west..."
After saying that, Liu Huiwang raised his head again, glanced at the others coldly, and said in a cold tone: "At this time of life and death, I only hope that you will put aside your past grudges and work together to defend against the powerful enemy... I will give the general a decree.
, Under me, no one can be killed..."
Whether it was the generals in the hall or Li Wenxiao, they all raised their heads in shock and looked at him in disbelief.
The generals are thinking that since the beginning of the army, Li Wenxiao has been disloyal to Liu Huiwang, and they, Liu Huiwang's die-hard loyalists, are on guard against him. There has been a rift between the two parties, and Li
Wen Xiao is afraid that he already hates them to the core.
Under such circumstances, you actually dare to hand over all the military power to him, are you not afraid that Li Wenxiao will do something treacherous and ungrateful?
What Li Wenxiao thought was, if I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?
If you had had such courage two months ago, Jingzhou City would have been captured long ago...
"Are you wondering why I am entrusting all the military power to you now?"
Liu Huiwang smiled sinisterly and threw the bronze medal in front of Li Wenxiao, "Return it to its original owner. It matches yours exactly. It can be considered as a thought for you..."
Return the property to its original owner?
Return the property to its original owner...
As if someone had punched him in the face, Li Wenxiao's mind buzzed and went blank for an instant.
It turns out that Liu Huiwang had known for a long time that this piece was fake, and even more so that he had forged it himself.
And I also know that I have a similar piece in my hand...
No wonder he didn't trust himself from the beginning of the army. Even if he wanted to use himself, he would definitely appoint supervisors in the camp and place cronies, such as Fa Ming under Li Wenzhong...
It’s even more surprising that he didn’t even ask a question when he was already so angry that he was dying.
He had known that even though he was so angry that he vomited blood, he was still far from dying...
And someone around me has been spotted by him at some point, but I don’t even know it?
In such a situation, how could he dare to put on his lower body and roll over?
But before the words of pleading were uttered, Liu Huiwang interrupted with a wave of his hand: "It's useless to talk more, let's wait and see in the future..."
After a pause, Liu Huiwang sighed again: "I'm afraid you might be distracted, so I've sent people to take over the Wu Zhi. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and your son have also sent people to send the quails. You can rest assured..." I don’t worry about your eldest mother?
Liu Huiwang even knew that he had left a way out and ordered Li Chun to escort his children to Gaochang, and even intercepted them in advance?
What else doesn’t he know?
How many spies has he planted around him?
Endless fear came over like a tide, and in just a moment, cold sweat soaked my clothes.
Li Wenxiao stood up suddenly, with blazing anger in his eyes, and growled through gritted teeth: "No harm to the family..."
"The general has misunderstood, the monk just wants to help you avoid worries!"
Liu Huiwang sighed sadly, "As long as you can defeat Li Chengzhi and open up the west road, you can naturally reunite with your family..."
Reunion?
Is it possible?
Li Wenxiao was shaking with anger, but there was nothing he could do.
Even Wuzhi was occupied by Liu Huiwang, and all his family members were captured. If he had any disobedience, Liu Huiwang could make the Wuzhi Li clan extinct...
Is it ridiculous that I think I have everything planned and under control, but I don’t know that from beginning to end, I am being played by Liu Huiwang and being applauded?
I should have thought of it earlier.
How could he, a lowly musician who was born as a musician, escape and become a "sick Buddha" with tens of thousands of followers and respected by thousands of people?
I didn’t lose unjustly...
With tears in Li Wenxiao's eyes, he secretly gritted his teeth, kneeled respectfully at Liu Huiwang's feet, and said in a sob: "Please let my family live a life..."
"Why is the general like this?" Liu Huiwang chuckled, "I keep my word. As long as I can defeat Li Chengzhi, I will reunite the general with his family..."
……
Under Jingzhou City.
On a 30-foot-wide dirt slope, thousands of rioters looked like ants, crowding so densely that one's scalp would go numb just by looking at them.
Arrows, stones, boiling water, boiling oil, as well as lit charcoal blocks and firewood were thrown down from the top of the city like rain.
But the rioters didn't care. They carried a pile of dirt on their backs, put a broken wooden board on their heads with both hands, and rushed down the city like crazy without any protection.
It's really crazy.
Out of 100%, at least about 30% of the rioters will be hit, but for most of the rioters, it seems that the ones shot by bows and arrows, hit by stones, and poured with boiling oil are not their own bodies. They often just scream a few times.
Then he yelled "I will be reborn in bliss", and it seemed as if all the pain would leave my body.
Those who can run continue to run, and those who are too injured to run continue to crawl...
Not all of them were unafraid of death. There were also many rioters who were so frightened that they turned around and fled back.
Thirty or forty steps away from the city wall, there were soldiers responsible for custody. Any rebels who escaped back would either be chopped down with a knife or pierced through the heart with an arrow.
If you run back, you will be hacked to death 10% of the time, but if you rush under the wall, there is more than half a chance of surviving?
Seeing the scene, the rioters who had fled halfway turned their heads again and rushed towards the wall again...
In all my life, I have never even heard of such a scene, let alone seen it.
The two brothers were shaking with horror, as if they couldn't even hold the knife.
They finally understood why the rebels had already reached the point where they had no food to eat and could only eat vegetables and meat, but the rebels still did not flee in large areas.
I finally understand why a brigade of five to six hundred rebels only sent a dozen soldiers to guard them without fear of mutiny?
Because these people are either crazy or have been scared to death and don’t know how to resist...
"What are you doing standing still?" Li Rui chopped down a fleeing rioter with a knife and cursed Li Cong loudly.
Instead of asking him to kill people, let him shoot arrows quickly.
"Oh..." Li Cong woke up from a dream, quickly took off his bow, searched in the arrow pot, and found a blunt arrow with a silk scarf tied to the arrow shaft.
There were more than a dozen of these silk scarves hidden in the layers of the two brothers' clothes. Whenever they were discovered by the rebels, they would end up being hacked to pieces.
I have to say that the two brothers were lucky. There were no dangers along the way, and they made it to the city...
"No, it's too far..." Li Cong glanced towards the city and shouted urgently.
There were more than thirty steps away, and he was shooting from about three feet below the city wall. Li Cong was really not 100% sure.
"Then let's go forward..." Li Rui switched the knife to his left hand, picked up the vine shield, and rushed forward with his waist bent.
Li Cong held the knife in one hand and tightly grasped Li Rui's belt with the other hand.
Fortunately, since it is so far away, even if it hits the vine shield, the arrow will not have much power.
Moreover, there are not many arrows that can shoot far. In order to ensure the lethality, most of the guards only shoot within a radius of ten steps below the city.
Look at the fact that most of the arrow shafts are newly cut, and the arrowheads are also newly made. No matter how stupid the brothers are, they can guess that there are not many arrows in the city...
The two brothers rushed forward and took more than ten steps forward. When they looked up, they were less than twenty steps away from the city wall.
The group of civilians they were in charge of in custody were all so frightened that they thought they were intimidated by the enemy and came to kill them.
Suddenly, the team they were responsible for ran the fastest and was the most efficient?
"Hurry!" Li Rui urged Li Cong urgently with his shield on his head.
"Don't rush me!" Li Cong scolded him. He opened his bow and nocked an arrow without even taking aim. He just pointed the bow diagonally at the top of the city and quickly loosened the string.
Even though the two brothers are as skinny as monkeys, that's because of genetic limitations. Lijiabao is quite wealthy, and they are basically not as old as the people who starve. Moreover, the two brothers have been raising horses with their father since they were young, so they have horses to eat.
Of course, they have something to eat...
Therefore, the strength of the two brothers is really not small, and they deliberately prepared light bows and arrows. At a distance of twenty steps, shooting arrows into the city is not a big problem.
Sure enough, with a whooshing sound, the arrow passed over the city and disappeared.
It’s done...
The two brothers were overjoyed.
"Cum all in!" Li Rui urged again.
Seven or eight letter arrows, as long as one can be picked up by the defenders and handed over to the hands of the defenders, the two brothers will have completed the task perfectly...
As for sneaking into the city... this was the idea of the two brothers. Li Chengzhi had never asked for it.
He also said that they were just wishful thinking, unless there was smoke rising from the graves of the Li family...
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." The letter arrows were shot into the city one after another. The two brothers had a great time shooting, but Li Hao, who was more than thirty steps away, saw something was wrong.
He pointed at Li Rui and Li Hao and asked his close associates: "What are these two doing?"
The confidant squinted his eyes and said, "You seem to be fighting back?"
Fight back?
Li Hao laughed dumbly.
They are really two official fans. They are crazy about making meritorious deeds. How dare they rush to such a close place?
The guards on the top of the city not only have arrows, but also heavy crossbows and stone cannons. If they take a look at their heads, the two brothers will either die or be disabled...
Just as he was laughing sarcastically, he heard another confidant say: "But for some reason, the arrows they shot seemed to float..."
Li Hao was startled subconsciously: "It's gone, where has it gone?"
"Floating over the city..."
"Maybe I'm not familiar with my hands..." Li Hao suddenly paused in the middle of his sentence.
Even if you are not familiar with it, you should not have all of them float over the city. You should shoot a few of them onto the wall...
Moreover, the fifth brother said that these two brothers had raised horses since they were young and had served as soldiers. Not only were they skilled in bow and horse, they had also killed horse thieves.
When I was protecting my second brother and escaping back to the camp, I encountered monk soldiers blocking the way. I shot a monk off his horse with just one arrow...
There is a ghost...
Li Hao's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted urgently: "Recall..."
The confidant responded and immediately asked a dozen messengers to shout loudly: "Song Heng and Song Tong, return to camp immediately..."
The two sides were only thirty steps apart, and the shouts were so uniform that even if there was interference from the screams of the mob, the two brothers could hear them clearly.
The two brothers turned around subconsciously.
Seeing Li Hao's cronies shouting and waving a command flag, Li Rui's expression changed: "Could he have been discovered?"
Li Cong was surprised: "Shouldn't it be?"
"Then why are you so anxious that you even use the command flag? Could it be that Li Hao is afraid that you and I will be injured? He is afraid that he wants us to die under the city so that the two horses can be confused..." Li Rui had a gloomy look on his face and whispered, "We must be on guard...how many arrows are there left?"
Li Cong glanced at the arrow pot: "Three!"
"The arrow was lost, the silk scarf was torn..."
Li Cong was a little unwilling.
Three faith arrows, that is, the effort of three or four breaths...
"Idiot!" Li Rui cursed urgently, "He has already issued a military order for you to go back to camp, and you still want to shoot. It's like you have no ghosts and you have ghosts... It's all lost..."
While cursing, Li Rui kicked Li Cong and waved vigorously towards Li Hao, which meant that he had given the order!
Li Cong gritted his teeth, cut the three letter arrows into several pieces, and tore the three silk scarfs hard.
Strands of silk threads are like flying catkins, falling in the dust...
