Shen Shizheng (4 p.m.), Monk Village on the side of the school grounds.
This was originally the residence of the monks and officials of Zhaoxuan Temple. There are many houses, which are quite luxurious. Most of them are blue brick houses, and many of them even have earth dragons running through them.
Li Song originally planned to house Li Chengzhi and the Li family's retainers, but Li Chengzhi was busy making steel, and some retainers and a group of his disciples were hammering iron and melting copper, and they didn't even have time to go down the mountain, so Li Song simply moved the house there.
The monk village was converted into a military camp.
At this time, Li Chengzhi was sitting in a hall, with a cold face and a fierce look in his eyes.
Under the hall, headed by Li Feng, stood seven or eight generals of the Li family, each wearing armor and looking cold and solemn.
Guo Shouzheng was sitting on the right side of Li Chengzhi, looking at a scroll in front of him. He stopped talking several times, and finally turned into a long sigh.
This Guo Cunxin is too Menglang...
In the past, when I looked at him, he was a bit bookish at most, but he was still somewhat smart.
But I didn’t expect that I could be so stupid?
Li Chengzhi sent out more than a hundred elite cavalry. Relying on his excellent riding skills, half of them lured the enemy cavalry away, and the other half went around the city wall and connected with the defenders on the city.
Two groups of Tangqi have returned in succession, bringing back spying information:
At midnight, Li Bai took advantage of the fact that the thieves were tired and led his troops back to the city. However, it was Guo Cunxin who was afraid that the rebel soldiers who were chasing him would take advantage of the chaos and seize the city gate, so he refused to let the county soldiers open the door.
Li Bai had no choice but to return and fight to the death. Although he repelled the enemy soldiers, his arm was broken and his life or death was uncertain.
Half of the brigade under his command was dead and wounded...
Guo Shouzheng has read countless people, how could he not see that Li Chengzhi already hates Guo Cunxin?
Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be?
No matter how stupid Guo Cunxin is, he is still Li Chengzhi's biological uncle. It feels like he is specifically trying to trick his nephew...
Li Chengzhi didn't want to talk, Guo Shouzheng was hard to talk to, and the rest of the family didn't dare to talk.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressing, making people unable to breathe.
It wasn't until an "urgent call" sounded outside the hall that the eerie silence was broken.
This is the third group of Tangqi sent by Li Chengzhi. The purpose is to understand the size, equipment, and purpose of besieging Chaona.
Only after mastering these can he decide how to save...
Li Feng took the detective report and quickly sent it to Li Chengzhi.
Li Chengzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at everything.
There are not many words, but the writing is very clear: The purpose of this group of rebel soldiers is very clear. The goal is not to attack the city, but to plunder the wealthy households and refugees who fled westwards.
The former has money, food, and horses, while the latter can be used as soldiers by stealing them.
There weren't many thieves, just two hundred horses and mules, plus six to seven hundred spearmen. The remaining nearly a thousand were just rioters who had just been kidnapped, and they didn't have many weapons.
In addition, it is mainly about looting and mobility, so there are many vehicles, but not many bows.
Li Bai also happened to meet at the right time, but he was unlucky.
Guo Cunxin...
Li Chengzhi held the roll of paper in his hand and clenched it loudly with his fist.
Not to mention just being a cheap uncle, even if it were Li Shixian, Li Chengzhi would definitely question: It doesn't matter if you are stupid, don't you want to harm others?
Guo Shouzheng clearly saw Li Chengzhi's body trembling, and secretly wondered in his heart, was the city destroyed, or was Li Bai dead?
Just when he thought Li Chengzhi would get angry and kick over several cases, he heard Li Chengzhi take a deep breath, turn sideways, and hand the note to him.
Guo Shouzheng quickly scanned it and breathed a sigh of relief.
The city of Chaona was not destroyed, and Li Bai was not dead, but he was still unconscious, so there was probably little hope of survival.
The most pity is that nearly 30% of the soldiers in the brigade are from the Li clan.
This should be the reason why Li Chengzhi is furious...
He was just thinking about how to comfort Li Chengzhi when he heard him say leisurely: "Li Feng, prepare all night... Have dinner at five o'clock and break camp at Maozheng (six o'clock)..."
Guo Shouzheng was horrified: "Maozheng breaks camp? Who do you want to lead the army?"
Li Chengzhi gave him a strange look: "Of course it's me!"
"You?"
How many times have you been in war?
Guo Shouzheng endured it again and again, but in the end he didn't say anything unpleasant: "Why don't you wait until Li Song comes back?"
Li Song?
Hehehe...
When Li Song comes back, will Guo Cunxin force him to leave the city again?
Moreover, the Guo family can wait and the Zhang family can wait, but Li Bai, whose life or death is uncertain, and the nearly 100 seriously injured Ding soldiers cannot wait.
If he had known that such a tragic war would happen, he should have asked Li Bai to bring the medicinal wine and medicinal cloth...
Li Chengzhi also knew that Guo Shouzheng was not to blame for today's matter, but he just couldn't help it.
"This is a military matter, and it is also a family matter of my Li family. Guanzhu Guo had better say less..."
Guo Shouzheng was stunned. He looked at Li Chengzhi intently, as if asking: Do you know who you are talking to?
Seeing that the two of them were about to freeze, Li Feng shivered in fright.
This is not Hu Baozong. You can scold him if you want. He is not only an official, but also an elder.
In an era where filial piety governs the world, not to mention speaking rudely, even if it is slightly disrespectful, it is treason...
He quickly stepped in between the two of them, and said to Guo Shouzheng with a smile: "Master, please calm down, my husband is so angry that he lost his words..."
As he spoke, he deliberately lowered his voice, "So that the audience will know that what my sixth brother brought this time was a hundred pairs of finely crafted armor..."
Guo Shouzheng didn't know that Li Feng was deliberately misleading him, so he was startled subconsciously.
Hundreds of armors?
Just the Li family’s 3,000 acres of private land would have taken ten years of deprivation to build it...
No wonder Li Chengzhi gnashed his teeth in hatred. If it were him, he might have had the idea of killing Guo Cunxin.
He suddenly stopped being angry, sighed, and said warmly: "Don't worry, if Guo Cunxin doesn't pay, I will pay to you..."
Li Chengzhi felt secretly resentful.
Hundreds of lives, what do you pay for?
However, Li Chengzhi is not naive enough to take out his anger on irrelevant people just because he is in a bad mood.
Not to mention using other people...
He bowed his head slightly as an apology, and then said solemnly: "Don't worry, Master, this junior is going to save people, not to fight... It is precisely because he doesn't want to fight that he has to go in person..."
Just this second half of the sentence made Guo Shouzheng choked and speechless.
Li Chengzhi meant that if he didn't go there himself or send ten Li Songs there, he would die...
Guo Cunxin, Guo Cunxin, you have really offended this nephew.
"He is your uncle!" Guo Shouzheng reminded vaguely.
"I know!" Li Chengzhi bared his white teeth and said with a smile, "That's why this junior is anxious..."
With that said, he bowed down again: "After this junior leaves, I will take care of the affairs at the foot of the mountain. Please leave it to the master of the temple..."
Both Hu Baozong and Li Song are not here. If he leaves now, there will be no one at the foot of the mountain who can stop him.
Whether it was Song Lishen or the monk, he was not at ease.
So even if he is just a mascot, Guo Shouzheng must stay.
Guo Shouzheng sighed secretly.
It seems that he is determined!
He finally saw that Li Chengzhi's character was something he couldn't persuade at all.
