Long after Tao Wenbao left, Fang Junfeng and Xie Yusheng were still speechless. After a while, Fang Junfeng said: "Is what he said true? Uncle Li... how did Junhou do it?"
Xie Yusheng calmed down at this time and said: "It's not surprising, is it? After all, Junhou has the surname of King Li, so maybe he has good luck... Ah!"
Fang Junfeng frowned: "You have thought of it too. I already felt strange in Mengjiatun. The monarch was alone, but Li Shengyi sent an envoy to confer the title with great fanfare. Monsters can go anywhere, but they raided Mengjiatun, maybe they were chasing the king. Hou went there. We came to Gaochang, but Li Shengyi did not use us... I used to think that this person was really small-minded, and even a nominal Wuwei Hou was afraid of him. But now, looking at it, it turns out that he is not small-minded..."
Xie Yusheng said: "Captain, you can't be..."
Fang Junfeng said: "Even if I wanted to, Li Shengyi would not use us. He kept us because he didn't know whether Junhou was alive or dead. If we are still alive, we will never be reused and can only be used as horse bones. If we are going to die, Maybe he will gradually come forward. But now that the monarch is famous all over the world... You and I are considered his old subordinates, Li Shengyi must make a decision. Leave us... If the reputation of the monarch is growing, even if we have no intention, Li Shengyi He will also worry that we have second thoughts. It would be better to give him some more rewards and slowly release you and me from the Linxi Army... This will not only preserve his reputation as a good judge of people, but also avoid hidden dangers - this is what Tao Gong said just now. "
Xie Yusheng frowned and thought for a while: "Forget it, you just need to understand the twists and turns here - will Li Shengyi kill us? Let us out and then kill us?"
Fang Junfeng smiled coldly: "In my opinion, although this person is looking for fame and reputation, and his temperament is not as good as that of a prince, he really wants to be a wise and decisive leader, and he is not a person who kills indiscriminately."
Then he said: "It's just... Lao Xie, when you go to see him tonight, don't mention anything about luck or orthodoxy."
Xie Yusheng said: "I'm not stupid!"
After sunset, there was indeed a rumor that the two men had entered the central military tent of the Iron Armor Camp.
As soon as he entered the account, he saw Li Shengyi sitting upright in the middle. He wore a silver silk crown on his head, purple robes, a gold belt around his waist, and no armor. It looks majestic, but it doesn't make people feel alienated. When he saw the two of them, a faint smile appeared on his face, and his head tilted slightly downward, which made people feel friendly and kind. Even if there was a lot of resentment in his heart, most of it was removed in an instant.
There were others in the tent, and the two recognized one of them as Li Ding, Li Shengyi's adviser, as well as the commanders and commanders of the front, middle and rear armies. Qin Le was also among them, and the other one was Fang Yu who came here with them.
The two stood down in the tent, clasped their fists and bowed to salute. Li Shengyi immediately said: "You two generals don't need to be polite. Please sit down."
Everyone in the tent sat in rows according to their official ranks. The two of them had no actual duties and only sat at the bottom. It seemed as if everyone in the tent was looking at them.
After they sat down, Li Shengyi spoke again: "The two generals invited here today are related to Marquis Wuwei."
When he said this, he paused slightly and said in a deep voice: "Marquis Wuwei defeated the demon army on the north bank of the Lanjiang River a month ago and rescued thousands of soldiers from the Six Nations. According to the soldiers who escaped from there, they arrived at the south bank When I saw that the demon army camp was in chaos, Rakshasa and monster beasts were killing each other, it was very likely that the entire army would be annihilated. The merits of Marquis Wuwei have been rare in thousands of years, and I, the generals of Li State, are honored. Tomorrow I will reward the three armies, and for Wuweihou congratulations!"
Everyone in the tent should have known about this, but now they seemed to feel excited when they heard what Li Shengyi said. Li Ding stood up and bowed to Li Shengyi and said: "This is indeed a gratifying matter. After all, Marquis Wuwei is also a native of my country. I heard that when Marquis Wuwei was acting one month ago, a volcano in Dangtu Mountain was on fire, and the rocks were burned. For dozens of miles, the demon army suffered countless casualties. This should also be the result of the ghostly kings of our Li Kingdom protecting their descendants, and it is also the result of the power of Emperor Beichen sent from heaven to sway the demons and eliminate evil."
When he said this, all the generals claimed it was true. But suddenly someone laughed and said: "Didn't Mr. Li hear about the power from heaven? That Marquis Wuwei seems to have the luck of a secret spirit. He was able to defeat the demon army there. Nine times out of ten, he had the help of a secret spirit." . But in my opinion, since that secret spirit is willing to help us kill the devil, it is a good thing. Who dares to say that Wuweihou——"
Before he finished speaking, Li Shengyi's face turned stern and shouted: "Come here!"
Two guards rushed in from outside the tent and responded in unison. Li Shengyi said: "Zhao Shifang, the commander of the rear army, went out without warning and slandered our general. According to military law, I will pull out the stick and punish him for fifty, and take away the post and keep him in office to see the consequences!"
Zhao Shifang was shocked, but did not dare to tell the difference. He only said, "The last general made a mistake, the last general made a mistake." However, he was still pulled out.
Everyone in the tent did not dare to laugh for a moment and remained silent.
Li Shengyi sighed and said: "Gentlemen, Marquis Wuwei and I share the same surname and are brothers. What Zhao Tongzhi said should not appear in our Linxi army. Please also restrain your subordinates after returning to the army. , such remarks again will never be tolerated."
The generals took orders one after another, and Li Shengyi's expression softened a little, and he said: "When the road in Tushan is cut off, the demonic army in our territory will become a trapped beast. The five-nation army that was stationed here before fought timidly and left. , but I, Mr. Li Guoerlang, cannot abandon my homeland. I am determined to recruit generals, organize and train new troops, and fight to the death with the demonic army in the territory."
"There is another thing - Marquis Wuwei was protecting the soldiers and the people, and he led the monsters into Dangtu Mountain alone. Although he achieved a great victory in the north of the mountain, he was behind enemy lines after all, so it would not last long. He might want to lead his army south." Li Shengyi looked around. Generals, "Our army must ensure Marquis Wuwei's retreat and recapture the area north of Marquis City so that we can respond at any time."
Li Dingdao: "The brotherhood between you and me is deep, which is enough to set an example for the clans in the world. But I feel that this matter needs to be considered in the long run."
Li Shengyi said: "Do you think something is wrong, Mr. Li? Please speak up."
Li Dingdao: "To go to the Houcheng area from the west, you must first leave Jiandao City. As soon as you leave the city, you will reach the Langhe area. And the Langhe area is surrounded by plains and there is no danger to defend. If you want to go to Houcheng, the army must at least be there It takes half a month to march on flat ground. Although the demon army's retreat is cut off, it is still good at field warfare. Once we meet on a narrow road, our army may not be an opponent. Please think twice."
Li Shengyi smiled slightly: "What Mr. Li said makes sense, but what if we are going to the armored camp instead of people? Now our army has nearly a hundred armored vehicles. Since the Langhe area is a plain, it is more suitable for vehicles to travel, and it can be attacked. If you can retreat and defend, you must not be afraid of monsters, right?"
Hearing this, Xie Yusheng couldn't help but straighten up, and Fang Junfeng hurriedly kicked him under the stool. Xie Yusheng turned to look at him and said, "Ah?"
Fang Junfeng shook his head slightly.
