In the afternoon, while Jian'an City was repairing the city wall, a puff of smoke and dust was seen a few miles away from the south gate. It was a sign that many people were heading towards Jian'an City.
Immediately, Jian'an City was on alert, and the city gate was closed immediately. The captain scolded his soldiers to cheer up.
The capital guards reported the news layer by layer and conveyed it to the generals and soldiers in charge of their respective areas.
There is no way. We are currently at war with Goguryeo, and we are not sure who is coming, so some necessary measures are unavoidable.
As soon as they got the news, Luo Zhang and others came to the south gate tower and looked into the distance.
If the prediction is correct, it should be said that Li Jing arrived with an army.
About half an hour later, a team with flags waving appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
And the tall handsome flag with the character "Li" indicated the identity of the visitor.
Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly and said: "Open the city gate, open the city gate, and welcome Li Shuai to arrive!"
After ordering his men, Cheng Yaojin led everyone down the city tower and headed towards the city gate to personally welcome Li Jing's arrival.
In about a quarter of an hour, several tall horses came to the city gate, and on them were Li Jing and others.
Cheng Yaojin immediately went up to greet Li Jing and bowed to Li Jing. After all, Li Jing was the real commander-in-chief. He was just a pioneer officer. He said he was Commander-in-Chief, but in fact it was just flattery.
"No need to be polite." Li Jing waved his hand, then stared at Luo Zhang.
Not only Li Jing was staring at Luo Zhang, Qin Qiong, Li Ji and others were also looking at Luo Zhang, wanting to see if Luo Zhang was a god and how he could do weird things wherever he went.
Luo Zhang was a little embarrassed to be stared at by everyone. He smiled and said to everyone: "Li Shuai, you will be laughed at by the soldiers if you stand at the gate of the city and talk. If you have anything to ask, how about we go to the city lord's palace to discuss it?" ?”
Cheng Yaojin also reacted and said with a smile: "Li Shuai, knock on my head, I forgot to tell you to come in. Come on, let's go to the city. I have prepared good wine and food to welcome Li Shuai." , We will not return until we get drunk today!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Cheng Yaojin strangely, looking gloating at his misfortune.
Li Jing's face suddenly darkened after Cheng Yaojin finished speaking.
Cheng Yaojin led the way without knowing anything, and said as he walked: "You don't know, those two jars of wine are fine wines that I finally found in Jian'an City. I have been reluctant to drink them, so I am waiting for you to come and try them together. of!"
"Cheng Yaojin!" Li Jing finally couldn't help shouting.
"Ah, Li Shuai, what do you want?"
"Although Jian'an City is a bit poorer, the fish in the river outside the city are extremely delicious. I have already asked people to catch them. I think I should be back!" Cheng Yaojin stopped and said.
"Cheng Yaojin, is this how you defend Jian'an City? Who allowed you to drink during the battle?" Li Jing scolded.
He had repeatedly ordered not to drink alcohol during war. As long as he was leading the troops, no one would dare to violate the taboo. Even Cheng Yaojin, a tough guy, actually talked to him about drinking and banquets in front of so many people.
This doesn't mean slapping him in the face. If you want to drink some alcohol, how can he convince the public?
"Ah...this...Li Shuai, isn't it because we have taken over Jian'an City? Everyone is happy. It's okay to have a drink!" Cheng Yaojin said with a bitter face.
"Forget it for today, if you let me know that you drank during the battle, you will be dealt with according to military law!" Li Jing said in a deep voice.
Seeing that Li Jing didn't seem to be trying to scare him, Cheng Yaojin was also shocked and said hurriedly: "Yes, Commander Li, I will never drink alcohol during battles in the future. This is a violation of military law!"
"Let's go and see that artillery first. It sounds so powerful. I don't know how powerful it is." Li Jing did not dwell too much on the issue of drinking, but changed the topic and mentioned the artillery.
Sure enough, when Qin Qiong and others heard the word "artillery", their attention was immediately attracted.
Under the leadership of Cheng Yaojin, everyone climbed onto the south city wall. In a corner, Cheng Yaojin lifted a piece of black cloth.
Suddenly, a dark-colored artillery piece weighing seven or eight tons was revealed in front of everyone!
"Is this the artillery?" Li Jing took a step forward and stroked the barrel of the artillery, and a cold feeling suddenly passed into his hands.
"Li Shuai, this thing is an artillery piece. Do you want to try firing one?" Cheng Yaojin said flatteringly.
But Luo Zhang gave him a fierce look, and then he said to Li Jing: "Li Shuai, cannonballs are very precious. One cannonball is enough to kill a hundred Goguryeo people, so it is better to leave this opportunity to fire a cannonball to the Goguryeo people." !”
"Look, this is a general. Look at you. I don't know what to say about you!" Li Jing glanced at Cheng Yaojin and shook his head.
This made Yuchi Jingde burst into laughter. He kept holding on, but now he couldn't hold it anymore.
"Smile, laugh your ass off! If you laugh again, be careful I don't give you meat!" Cheng Yaojin said angrily.
