"Your Majesty, this is absolutely inappropriate! Now that the world is in turmoil, even the Dai Kingdom is in panic, not to mention the Zhao Kingdom! If you go alone at this time, you are not afraid that they will tie you up. Go directly to see those rebels. Thief?"
Since Liu Deng decided to leave alone at this time, he could only entrust the city defense to Li Guang and Zhang Tu.
But as soon as he stated his plan, Li Guang immediately stood up and objected.
"But General Li, there are nearly 400,000 rebels so far, and we only have 80,000 people from top to bottom. How can we fight this battle? Of course, we can hold on to the city. With our current sophisticated equipment, Jinyang's The city is so strong that it can be defended for a year or two without any problems! But have you ever thought about whether the people of this country can afford to wait? Will those alien races who are eyeing us with eagerness give us a chance to breathe? "
Liu Deng was also helpless. If Li Guang and Zhang Tu were not persuaded, they would not let him leave.
"Your Majesty, even if what you say is right, at this time, you can't go there in person! Why don't you sit in Jinyang and let the general go and conquer the Zhao army?"
Li Guang still refused to give up.
"You also said that at this time, people are panicking. Only if I go there personally with Gaozu's snake-slaying sword can I successfully conquer people's hearts! If you go, I'm afraid you will only get twice the result with half the effort, and it may even cost you your life. !”
Liu Deng also smiled bitterly. If he had a choice, he really didn't want to take risks alone. After all, Liu Deng knew very well in his heart that he had never been a great man.
It's just because the current situation is like this. Since he is sitting in this position, he can only do what he should do in this position!
As for whether it is dangerous or not, we can only do it first and then talk about it later.
"Your Majesty! As General Li said, even if the old minister doesn't want the king to take the risk, why not just let the old minister go?"
Seeing Li Guang begging here, but still unable to make Liu Deng change his mind, Zhang Tu could only come up and give up this old face.
"Master Taifu, why are you doing this? You are already old, and now there is a war outside. If you go on such a trip, will the people in this world curse me to death?"
Liu Deng really smiled bitterly.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent. He has assisted the late king in governing the country for decades, but his achievements are not as good as the one year after the king took office. The king's talent is a million times that of the old minister. The old minister actually received the great trust of the late king. Of course, he cannot look at the king. Let’s go on an adventure alone!”
As Zhang Tu spoke, he knelt on the ground. The tears were like broken pearls, flowing down. Looking at Liu Deng, he felt sad for a while, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"I said you guys can't hope for him, okay? He hasn't even gone out yet, so you must conclude that something will happen to him? He was born with great luck, let alone such a small scene, even if it is This kid can survive even if the sky falls and the earth falls, so you should stop cursing him here! If anything happens to this kid, I, the old man, will pay for it with my life!"
Just when Liu Deng was helpless, Zhang Shisan suddenly opened the door and walked in.
Hearing that Zhang Shisan had already made such a promise, Liu Deng finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the old man didn't come again, he really didn't know what to say.
But even though the old man had already guaranteed this, Zhang Tu was still hesitant. After all, this country has had such a great king for so many years, even though Zhang Shisan can be regarded as a god-like figure.
But if Liu Deng really has any shortcomings, what's the use of taking this dead old man's life? Help yourself to drink?
"Are you really going to be fine?"
Zhang Tu asked hesitantly.
"I told you, boy, are you going to tear down my sign today?"
Hearing Zhang Tu's question, Zhang Shisan immediately became unhappy. He rolled his eyes and gave Zhang Tu a blank look.
The corner of Zhang Tu's mouth twitched. He looked down at the gray beard under his chin. Some people couldn't understand why he was related to the word "boy".
But in front of Zhang Shisan, he really didn't dare to question.
After all, when he was in his twenties, Zhang Shisan looked like he does now. Now he has gray hair on his temples and is nearly 70 years old, but this old boy still looks like this.
"Okay, General Li, Master Taifu, this matter has been settled. The city defense will be left to you two! I will rush back as soon as possible. You two just need to guard the city! "
Seeing that the two of them finally stopped talking, Liu Deng simply came to ask for help.
"Your Majesty, take care of yourself all the way. Please feel free to worry about things in the city. With Jinyang's military strength and the equipment in our hands, it is simply wishful thinking for them to take Jinyang!"
"Your Majesty, over there at the Salt Lake..."
Seeing that the rebels were about to arrive and Liu Deng was actually leaving at this time, Zhang Tu hurriedly asked again.
"I dug all the ponds and destroyed everything outside the city, including the cement kilns, ironworks, and things in the river bends. Everything that should be destroyed was destroyed by me. Since we couldn't save it, we definitely couldn't leave it to the rebels. military!"
There was a fierce look in Liu Deng's eyes. Now that things have reached this point, Jianbi Qingye must do his best.
No matter what, the cement formula cannot be leaked out, and the secret of the salt pond must be kept. The reconstruction of Daiguo will all depend on them!
As for the machinery in Hewan and the iron foundries around Jinyang, even though Liu Deng was extremely reluctant to part with them, it was impossible to leave these things to the rebels.
After all, if these things get into the hands of the rebels, it will really make them even more powerful.
"promise!"
Zhang Tu's voice even trembled a little. These things were all treasures. For those who brought them here, these things were almost the lifeblood of the entire country, but now they were all destroyed.
"Okay, it's getting late. I still have some things that need to be prepared. Let's stop here today. If there is anything else, you two can just discuss it directly! I still say the same thing, don't be afraid of breaking it. Those jars and jars, since we can make the first one, we can make the second one! Keeping the secrets of those things is far more important than the things themselves!"
Seeing Liu Deng act so decisively, even Zhang Shisan nodded secretly behind his back.
Not everyone has the courage to cut off a strong man's wrist.
