Taiping Order

Chapter 342 Storms and clouds are everywhere (please give me a monthly vote)

Li Guanyi did not take off his armor and walked, but was still wearing armor and battle robe. When the people on the road saw him, they saluted respectfully, and the generals of all sizes of the army brought out by the Duke did not mention it.

There is also the Xuanjia Army brought out by Li Guanyi and Li Zhaowen.

After seeing Li Guanyi and Li Zhaowen, he was even more respectful.

Although these Xuan Armors have martial arts skills, they have not had enough martial arts before. Most of them are in a position of strength. This time, according to Li Zhaowen's promise, they will be able to receive the treatment of a miscellaneous lieutenant or even a young general after returning. I can't stand it.

The premise is that everything goes well.

But after completing a happy rush at this moment, everyone briefly let go of the dangers that followed and enjoy a brief spiritual relief.

It is said to be a family dinner, but in fact, the appearance of Yemenguan City is now, it is only better than the food of ordinary soldiers. It is only in the original city lord's mansion. The old duke still only wears armor, battle robe, and a little on the table. Wine and meat, and invited Li Guanyi to sit down with a smile:

"My friend, I have worked hard to lead the troops to come this time. If I don't have the power of my friend, I'm afraid I'm in danger. Come on, under such circumstances, there are not many things to entertain my friend, please!"

There are acquaintances next to you, and Li Zhaowen is also there.

For a moment, it can make people ignore the situation outside at this moment.

Li Guogong said: "My friend came here. That general was not an ordinary person. Although he had a plan to doubt the military, that guy was very suspicious. If he accidentally saw the problem, it would be troublesome."

"At this moment, the army in the city still needs more than 70,000, and they can wear armor and carry guns."

"I am interested. I plan to wait until the enemy's morale is the most unstable, lead the army out of the city, cover it up, and rush out according to the opportunity of their morale shaking. What do you think?"

Li Guanyi said: "It's a choice."

Li Guogong said: "It's just that the army is driving, and it's extremely difficult to use the formation. Although once the formation is formed, it's even more powerful, it's not as flexible as a small group of elite troops. A small group of troops can be penetrated and broken. If a large army leaves the city, there will inevitably be a big battle. ”

"Unless someone can restrain it, rush to the formation."

With a hint of reserved demeanor, he stopped talking here.

Generally speaking, at this time, the generals will take the initiative to stand up, and then feel excited and issue military orders.

Li Guanyi saw it.

Li Guanyi chose to ignore it.

He rushed here and was hungry and ate and drank. For a moment, only the Central Plains merchants sitting cross-legged there were eating and chewing. The reserved and calm Duke Li was inexplicably embarrassed.

Looking at Li Zhaowen, Li Zhaowen only smiled and handed the wine to Li Guanyi, saying:

"This is not a good wine."

"With brothers' physical fitness, it is just water to quench thirst."

"I still have famous wines in my house. After I go back, I'll have a good meal with you!"

Duke Li: “…”

That's my wine.

He coughed and said gently, "In order to protect our army and the people in the city, there are people who need to be at the forefront. I think you are superb and have extraordinary skills. I wonder if you are willing to help you? There will be a reward!"

The old Duke paused, raised his glass, and said, "Xiahou and I were on the city wall, watching the soldiers and horses surging in the four directions, as if endless, we felt sad in our hearts and swear secretly."

"If someone really comes here to save me, if that's my child, then he is my only heir."

"And if it's someone else."

"Then no matter what kind of wish he has, I will agree."

"Zhaowen, come and save me. After I go back, I will report to Your Majesty and give you an official position. What kind of wish do you have, Tiangeer? Even if you say it, I can satisfy you!"

This is a politician's method.

Perhaps because of the added layer of the tulle of father-son relationship, there was a hint of joy on Li Zhaowen's face, but Li Guanyi could see clearly, and his eyes fell on him. Li Guanyi slowly swallowed the food in his mouth. , said loudly:

"I hope the world is peaceful and there will be no more war in the world."

Duke Li was a little embarrassed for the second time and said with a smile: "I can't do such a thing." The generals, nobles, and even the counselors around him were a little unhappy, and they only felt that what the Central Plains Travel Commodity said was said. , too false.

I felt a little bit contemptuous, but I never showed it on my face.

One person smiled and said, "General Tiangeer's broad ambition makes us all ambitious. In the world, there are not many people with such ambition among the younger generation. At this time, I can only think of the Qilin in Jiangnan. ”

Li Guanyi felt awe-inspiring in his heart, and he blew up, "Qilin?"

"Oh, I've heard of it, but that person is also very ordinary."

Duke Li laughed loudly and said, "I see that my nephew is brave and broad, and has a strong spirit. It is no worse than the Jiangnan Qilinzi. It is a good thing for a young man to have crazy spirits and eyesight."

"However, the four big words "Taiping in the world are too heavy and too big."

"I don't have this ability to give you, how about changing another one?"

Li Guanyi said: "Money, food!"

Li Guogong said: "How much do you want?!"

Li Guanyi replied: "How much can the Duke of the State give?"

Duke Li smiled and said, "After you and I go out, your Anxi City is my biggest ally. I, Your Majesty, will be the leader of your army, and the whole world will be convinced. How could I lack your money?"

Duke Li originally planned to continue to vaguely pass this matter and fool the young man into making use of his passion, but saw that the traveler was also smiling. Li Zhaowen said, "Father, since he has made some promises, he should abide by it." ”

Duke Li was a little displeased.

This daughter is too free and fierce in nature, but she doesn't help herself.

Instead, helping an outsider.

Drinking wine slowly, although I don’t like it, I know that it is this time, when it’s the most important time to use people, so I can’t be stingy, so I said decisively:

"If this is the case, it's better to be a big deal. Ten thousand taels of gold and silver are not a problem. I will give you the bounty of our army to win a great victory. This time, the imperial court will definitely give you a reward, no matter how big I am How much gold and silver will be rewarded by Your Majesty of the Kingdom.”

"It's good whether it's one hundred thousand taels, one million taels, or even ten million taels."

"You and I, open the seventh three!"

The noble generals around them all changed their color: "Lord!"

"this-"

Li Guanyi was also a little surprised. He pondered the atmosphere, raised his eyebrows and said:

"Thirty percent of the rewards are given to me?"

Duke Li's courage is greater than what Li Guanyi saw.

He said calmly: "No, 70%.

"You are seven, and I am three."

"That 30% is not what I want."

"Divid three percent. Although I am defeated by my army, they share the joys and sorrows and rush out, and they should have some rewards, the rest—"

"Give it all to you!"

"As for the 30% compensation, I can also allow you to enter my treasure house. How much you can take away is as much as you have, how?"

Li Guanyi looked at Duke Li.

Duke Li smiled calmly, which naturally gave him his "sincerity" - there are many benefits in the treasure house. Next, it depends on Li Guanyi's eyesight and luck. No one can say that he is wrong.

But Li Guanyi is just one person after all, how much can he take away?

Li Guanyi thought of the big pocket that the fishing fisherman prepared for Yaoguang.

Li Guanyi said, "Then, just say it."

Duke Li laughed: "It's hard to chase after you!"

The host and the host are all happy.

Both of them felt very satisfied.

Although Duke Li felt very distressed and was actually unwilling to give up so many rewards of gold and silver, he was a rational person and knew that at this time, he should never be stingy.

Therefore, the manifestation is extremely proud of disguising.

It was as if the young man who was wielding a swordsman back then was still alive in this skin.

Duke Li said again: "I think my nephew is wearing this armor and it fits very well. This is something that has been passed down from generation to generation. Since ancient times, the sword is given to heroes, this set of mountain armor, and a mysterious soldier and heavy gun. Given to my nephew.”

"I will use it for myself later. I hope my nephew can be on the battlefield, swaying and looking down on the sidelines."

"If my nephew wants to."

"After I go back this time, I will report to Your Majesty and ask you for a job. At that time, I will be worthy of my ancestors and ancestors. How about it?"

Li Guanyi was not the little pharmacist of that year. He knew that this was the Duke who wanted to take this opportunity to completely transform himself into his camp - a great victory in the Western Regions, and then personally expressed his merits and asked for rewards and official positions.

In the eyes of the world, Tiangeer in Anxi City is the lineage of the Duke's Mansion.

Li Guanyi said, "It doesn't have to worry about it."

He wiped his mouth, and the Central Plains merchant had a light and cunning smile on his face: "Of course, if the Duke of China is willing, it would be best to distribute this official position into money and food for me."

"If anyone wants this credit."

"You can tell me privately that we are all allies and we can make good deals."

"I am not stingy in giving this official position and merit to you, and in exchange for the official position and merit. When I express my merits, I will just give you my merits. How about it?"

"I can give you a discount."

As soon as these words were said, everyone's faces were a little strange.

Duke Li laughed a little angry, so angry that he could not even say he was angry, but more so he couldn't laugh or cry. The other generals and officials were slightly moved, and some thoughts were made.

Originally, he was defeated and accidentally was stripped of his merits, but if Li Guanyi came this time and broke through the situation, he could really lead them out, and even 'repel' the 100,000 yuan from the seven Western Regions tribes Allied forces.

That is also a great achievement.

He could buy it with money, so he didn't say much?

Is there really such a good thing? !

There was a little bit of keenness and a little bit of contempt in their eyes.

Really a businessman, he is good at martial arts, but he doesn't know the benefits of official positions and power. This time, when he is about to fight, he is named a military general of the fifth rank, or even a military general of the fourth rank. possible.

This is not something that can be exchanged for.

What a great businessman!

Duke Li was also a little stunned and said helplessly: "What a fortune-teller!"

"However, today I said it was a family dinner, but I have something to tell you."

"I see that you are similar to Zhao Wen's age, and you are born with a handsome talent, with extraordinary martial arts and extraordinary courage, and you are really a dragon and phoenix among people."

"Would you like to be a member of my family?"

When Li Guan looked at Duke Li, he was stunned: "???"

All the calculations in my mind stopped.

Duke Li looked gentle on his face, looked at Li Guanyi and said:

"I see that you are so powerful and have no support from aristocratic families behind you. It is quite difficult to walk in this chaotic world. If you don't dislike me, you might as well be the adoptive father. What?"

"Then the day I will go back to the city, revise the genealogy, and also enter your name in it."

Li Guanyi: “…”

"ha?"

Li Guanyi couldn't hold back, but heard a burst of laughter coming from beside him.

Li Zhaowen stood up and declined on behalf of Li Guanyi, saying, "Father, he is a free and easy person. He is probably not willing to become an adopted son. Your plan is not good, so it is better to follow his son's ideas."

He paused his voice and smiled, "I'm afraid it won't work if this night gate is closed."

"There is not much food in the treasury in the city, but there are still a lot of gold, silver and copper coins. This city is difficult to rebuild in a short period of time and cannot be held firm. It is better to give the gold and silver to my brothers."

Li Guan was overjoyed and looked at Li Zhaowen.

Those who know me are Erlang!

He saw Li Zhaowen smiling and nodding.

Duke Li pondered and said, "That's fine, but since that's the case, I'll give you a bigger gift..."

Li Shude looked at Li Guanyi:

"This night gate is not my great frontier, but one of the forty-two cities that had previously alliance with us. If you want, these forty-two cities, as well as the gold, silver, food and grass in the city, Even the control of these forty-two cities is given to you! " "How?"

"Do you dare to go out? My dear nephew?"

Li Guan's eyes paused slightly.

Duke Li is not a good meal after all.

These cities that were aligned with Xiyi City could not be actually controlled by him. They could be destroyed or surrendered. It would be better to be a favor and give Li Guanyi the so-called alliance control power. As for gold and silver things, if you have the ability , you can get it yourself!

Li Guogong said: "How about it, nephew, do you have the courage to take this gift?"

Li Guan said, "Let me ask Uncle Li to write a letter."

Li Shude laughed and said, "Okay! I'm brave!"

Then he waved his hand and asked his left and right to take paper and pen, and wrote down the matter of the forty-two cities of all sizes and small, and handed over the control of the forty-two cities, big and small, to Li Guanyi, which means that Xiyi City will recognize Li Guan. The control of the forty-two cities in a unit.

Xiyi City will even provide assistance to Li Guanyi's troops in controlling these forty-two cities.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

There are the benefits of various chambers of commerce and business dealings.

Li Guanyi accepted this thing, and there was a seal of [Duke of Yingguo] on it. He faintly felt the fortune flowing above the nine tripods, buzzing and whistling. Above the nine tripods, representing the bright part of the entire Western Region. A golden stream of light appeared.

It is vaguely related to this [society] in your hand. Unfortunately, this souvenir only has some luck that is based on the magnificent trend of the country. It is not strong enough, not solid enough, and cannot let Li Guanyi's The Jiuzhou Ding has changed.

Forty-two cities…

A large area previously inspected by the Duke of Yingguo’s Office.

These cities are excellent, with rich resources, occupying oasis and salt ponds.

But they couldn't eat it.

Now he has acquiesced to Li Guanyi. Li Guanyi knows that Duke Li wants to use such heavy profits to stabilize him and let him lead the army to break through the formation. They lead tens of thousands of troops to press up behind them, and finally take advantage of the other party's morale to shake. He rushed out in a steady state.

but…

Another strategy appeared in Li Guanyi's mind.

If so, you can defeat this Western Army.

Then, with the power of this great victory, forty-two cities will be taken down like a mat, and can be taken over for only thirty or forty days. At present, there is only one big city, which is not enough to compete with the Wolf King and Dangxiang. .

But the forty-two cities are different.

Li Guanyi's power and strength in the Western Regions will go from the city lord who occupied one city and controlled the original Aqiu Kingdom to a powerful force occupying the forty-two cities in the Western Regions.

Although the population and area of ​​the so-called forty-two cities are definitely not comparable to those of the big cities in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, the number is also an extremely considerable force, and...

With forty-two cities under their command, there are two or three million people, you should be able to try to cast a tripod.

At least a prototype can be cast.

Li Guanyi suddenly thought of something very fatal.

Whispered: "Will the Forty-Two Cities be extremely short of money?"

A city is about to squeeze out his gold and silver.

Previously, Duke Li said that he would give Jiang Wanxiang 70% of the rewards after him, it would have to be a large sum of gold and silver, but if these many gold and silver were placed on the repair of the forty-two large and small city-states, they would be based on management. .

Li Guan's face was pale.

I felt a little stomachache like Yan Daiqing.

He felt that this time it was a big victory, and his financial vacancy would be even bigger.

poverty!

The more famous you are, the more you receive.

The poorer you are!

Nangong Wumeng, isn’t your words true?

Is it really too little but I have thirty years of wealth?

Seeing him like this, Duke Li laughed and left after a banquet. The generals and staff felt itchy. Thinking about the merits and business mentioned by the Central Plains Merchants, Duke Li drank alone, but Xiahou Zhan was beside him. .

After hesitating, Xiahou Zhan said:

"Lord, isn't you giving him such a big benefit too much?"

Duke Li drank alone and said, "Is it too much? Not too much."

"We were originally tragic about the situation in the Western Regions, which is probably not enough. The trend of the Western Regions is surging. If we can [force retreat] at this moment, it will be worthy of the National Master Jiang Su and Your Majesty."

"We can sit on the stage to watch the world's competition."

"Although these forty-two cities are a large terrain, it will be a benefit if they can be held in their hands. However, the intensity of the Western Regions is too great. If you want to stand here, unless you can impress the Western Regions, you will face the Western Regions. The coalition forces continued to invade."

"Not a good thing."

"What a Tiangele, the boy is very cunning."

"I've been eating bait for many times, but I don't take the bait. It's better to give him these forty-two cities and stand in front of us."

Xiahou Zhan said, "What if he really takes power?"

Duke Li sneered: "Impossible."

"Absolutely impossible."

"You and I are still unstable, just a businessman."

"Even if you have a hidden identity, you are mostly outstanding disciples of aristocratic families. It is a blessing to be able to occupy a city. How can you have the means to occupy forty-two cities?"

"I'm afraid I'm going to be driven to death by my appetite."

"The situation in the Western Regions is turbulent and chaotic, and the situation in the thirty-six parts is complicated, just like a bird cage. For example, Tian Geer and even Zhao Wen, they are all talents, and they are young heroes who are free and easy."

"But in this Western Region, they are just two birds trapped by this situation."

Xiahou Zhan was upright, loyal and brave, and said, "The military strategist said that before you consider victory, you should first consider defeat."

"What if it can be done?"

"You said, if someone comes, you will be appointed as the heir."

Li Guogong said: "So... I said that she and that kid are in the cage of this general trend. How can I make my daughter the Duke? But now facing such a situation, I must rely on the strength of both of them. , I have to say that."

Xiahou Zhan remained silent.

Li Guogong said: "The world is layer by layer. Zhaowen's cage is my Xiyi City, my family affection, and that boy's cage is the complexity of the Western Regions, and the world is surging."

"If you can't get out of this cage, you will be two beautiful and charming birds in this cage."

"And if you go out..."

He paused and said lightly, "Then, those are two phoenixes."

"Just use me as a stepping stone to make them famous."

"It's just something that I'm willing to accept the loss."

"Where are the Phoenix and Phoenix coming and going?"

"How can they all be in my Western Regions?"

"It would be better to say that under such a situation, have the competition between Dangxiang and the old wolf reached its peak? The woman from Dangxiang is looking forward to us at this moment, whether we are stopped, or we are looking forward to rush out. Woolen cloth?"

Duke Li looked out and looked outside.

Xiao Yuxue was also looking at the distance from the high place of Dangxiang Palace, rolling her sleeves and saying to herself, "...Li Shude, you never thought that there are people from my Holy Sect in your Xiyi City."

"What a pity, what a pity."

"Li Shude's heroic life, his eldest son is guarded, and his two daughters are free and easy."

"Only your three sons are not good. He only used three or five singers to linger. Even the time and roadmap for you to leave the city can be easily trapped. It is difficult for you to be a hero like you, but you will be defeated by your son. .”

The extremely beautiful woman with indifferent eyes stood on a high place and said softly:

"Let's just let [Yemen Pass] bury your old guy's ambition. Your third son is a good chess piece. To stir up the conflict between your eldest son and your second daughter, Xiyi City will be influenced by us."

"If you die here, Yingguo has enough reason to send troops..."

"The pressure on Chen State will be reduced."

"He Ruoqianhu, the fourth general in the world, has not been dispatched yet."

"He acted as a domineering person, stepped into the Western Regions, and wiped out all the tribes in the Western Regions that killed you; the thirty-six tribes would not be his opponents, and the wolf king was once the fourth **** general in the world, and now the fourth **** general in the world."

"Compet in the Western Regions."

"Only in this way can Dangxiang live and my Holy Church live."

"Li Shude, just use your head to revitalize the Western Regions' complete set to die!"

Wu Xuefei bows her head—

Even she could see it.

Xiao Yuxue is also stirring up the general trend of the world. Once it is really like her plan, the entire Western Regions and even the world will change accordingly. The Dangxiang Kingdom, which was originally beheaded, and the fortune of the Holy Church, will come alive.

Wu Xuefei didn't know what to say.

She felt that this person was as extreme as a demon, and she felt that she was distorted and terrifying, but after all, she was the most outstanding leader of the Holy Sect in hundreds of years. She was cruel and strategic, and had great vision. She could also stir up the general trend of the world with her daughter in the world.

This game has been completed.

Xiao Yuxue lowered her eyes, as if she had seen the distant mountains and rivers, and saw the night gate.

Her fingers were fair and slender, and slowly stretched out, so the 36 tribes of the Western Regions, Chen State, Ying State, Xiyi City, and even more people gathered under her palms, crisscrossing chess game.

Five fingers hold together.

He is in charge of the party and the seven divisions, to stimulate the storm and the Western Islam.

She is the first among those who enter this game.

If you win this time, there will be a great surging momentum that will revive the White Emperor and reunite the Holy Church.

That should have been.

The night gate is closed on the city.

Li Guan raised his eyes and looked into the distance. Li Zhaowen smiled and said, "My father was a little drunk. My adopted son said, "Brother, you don't have to care. However, I can't call you, so I have to call you Brother Yaoshi." Now."

Li Zhaowen looked into the distance and suddenly chuckled:

"But, if you want to become a family, it's not just the adopted son."

Li Guan raised his eyebrows.

Li Zhaowen smiled calmly:

"Pharmacist, what do you think of this general trend?"

Li Guan looked into the distance and said, "Wait, the other party's morale is in chaos. After we rushed back, Erlang, remember what you said, and I want to make a song for me." Li Zhaowen smiled and said, "There is still the world." The first beauty plays the piano.”

In the tranquility after this battlefield, Li Guanyi whispered:

"The time is not yet."

"I want to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"

Beat them!

If you conquer these seven tribes of the Western Regions, take down forty-two cities, and rise completely, you can be called a hero in one place. Otherwise, you will only swallow the Western Regions with one city and join the south of the Yangtze River, which is just a fool.

The situations of Li Shude, Li Zhaowen, Li Guanyi, various Western Regions, Xiao Yuxue, Chen State, Ying State, and the four sides are now gathered on a battlefield. Winning, losing, life and death will affect the future direction.

Only a few hours left is the battle that has been widely sung by later generations and has never been forgotten for a thousand years.

At the same time, horse hooves galloped dozens of miles away from the battlefield outside the Yemen Pass.

Ten thousand elite troops led by Qi Li and Fan Qing.

The top-notch armor and sharp weapons were escorted by Changsun Wulu.

Finally meet up!
