Da Wei Chun

Chapter 166
Li Song pondered and said: "If you want to find out the enemy's situation, you can only send Qingqi around, there is no other way..."

He still didn't say a word: it might not work.

After all, this is the lair of bandits, Tang Qi is far away and can't see clearly, but he is close... Are you acting like a rebel?
Damage is inevitable.

Because it is impossible for Tang Qi to only visit one side, if he wants to find out the enemy's situation, he must at least go around the city to investigate.If you still want to find out the distribution of the troops of the chaos, you have to go around a few more times.

But back to the old problem, this is the lair of bandits, if you go deep, you will be surrounded by all sides...

This is what Li Chengzhi was worried about.

Sending Tangqi to spy is tantamount to sending death, but if you don't spy and go to war, what is the difference from closing your eyes and taking a gamble?
It's not that he can't afford to gamble, but that battles are not fought like this...

But there is really no way?
not always.

If he could find a way to get in touch with the defenders of the state city, he should be able to ascertain the enemy's situation outside the city.

This place has been besieged for two full months. The high city head looked down for two months. What is the situation below the city? Wait, wait, should I remember it long ago?
But how to get in touch is the big problem.

The best way, of course, is to send someone to sneak in...

But who is the right person to send?
Li Chengzhi looked down the hall, his eyes swept over the thin brothers Li Rui and Li Cong, his eyes lit up immediately: "Ape, monkey, come here..."

……

The sun is shining again, and the sky is clear.

Anwu city was crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder.

At dawn, Li Chengzhi arranged for Song Lishen to transport the two thousand prisoners away and escort them to Jingyang City.The remaining one thousand were all driven by Li Chengzhi to the moat for dredging.

Some of the captives below used hoes and shovels to pack the dried mud into baskets, and then transported it to the shore, and another part of the captives transported it into the field in a horse-drawn cart.

Up and down the city, there is a stench everywhere.

Hu Baozong was amazed: "This thing can be used as agricultural fertilizer?"

Li Chengzhi snorted: It's really rare and strange.

When this thing is used as fertilizer, it is not much worse than manure, and it is better than fertilizer made from straw.

Having said that, Li Chengzhi sincerely admires his ancestors.

Not to mention slash-and-burn farming in ancient times, and the urine of humans and livestock was used as fertilizer in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is said that farmers in the Southern and Northern Dynasties knew how to fertilize with straw?
In another 500 years, Europeans will discover that feces can actually increase production...

Li Chengzhi ignored Hu Baozong, stretched his neck, and looked into the distant fields.

Dozens of horse-drawn carts lined up to transport the dry mud to the fields, and more than a hundred captives, with wooden forks and shovels, smashed the dry mud and spread it evenly.

Among these captives were two brothers, Li Rui and Li Cong...

The two were short and thin, and Li Chengzhi carefully dressed them up so that they looked no different from the refugees next to them.

The two brothers are very skillful in their working movements, and it can be seen that they have worked for years.

On the other hand, a fat man next to him couldn't even bend his waist, and was panting heavily while holding a dung fork.

If the assigned work is not finished, not only will there be no food, but also the whip... The fat man has already started to worry, but the more anxious he is, the slower he is, and the more he sweats.It didn't take long before the fat man seemed to be fished out of the water.

The two brothers finished their share and turned around, but the fat man hadn't finished one-third of the work.

Li Rui came over and asked with a silly smile, "Brother, do you want to help?"

"Oh..." Fatty's face suddenly turned into a chrysanthemum, "Thank you brother..."

"Where is the elder brother from?" Li Hou'er also came over, making close friends.

"Wuzhi!" The fat man wiped the sweat from his brow.

"It seems that elder brother is not a servant like me, why is he also coerced?"

"How else?" Fatty's fat face twisted into a bitter gourd: "My ancestors were all cooks in Wuzhi Li's family... cook well, and become a traitor?"

"Wuzhi Li?" Li Rui pretended to be surprised and asked, "Is the elder brother serving General Li (the rebel guard)?"

The fat man nodded vigorously.

In the entire Anwu City, who else could be a cook, besides General Li Wenxiao's nephew Li Mao?

Just a little complacent, the fat man's face turned bitter again: so what can the cook do?
Didn't Li Mao, the general who conquered the west personally appointed by King Liu Huiwang of France, end up being shot to death by random arrows from officers and soldiers?
Fortunately, I just cook and didn't get blood on my hands, so I survived in the end?
But it's not so easy to live on. With my body, I'm afraid I'll be hungry every day and be whipped...

After growing up so big, how can I suffer from starvation?
Looking at the piles of mud in the field, the fat man felt so sad that he burst into tears.

The two brothers looked at each other.

Mr. Lang has taught so many tricks, but you haven't used them outside yet, why are you crying first?
But the play has to go on...

While helping, the two brothers comforted: "Brother, don't panic...you can escape at least one life, at most you will be starved and beaten a few times. It's not like the two of us, can you I don’t even know if I’ve lived to this day and went down the mountain…”

The fat man was startled.

Judging by the tone, the two brothers seemed to have their lives in their hands, but for some reason they were not interrogated by the officers and soldiers.

"Which battalion is your brother from?" Fatty wondered, "It looks strange!"

"I'm waiting for my brother to listen to the order in Maying, and he doesn't come out very often, so the elder brother has never seen him!"

"So it's just a groom who waits on the animals?" Fatty asked in surprise, "Since there is no life in hand, why are you afraid that you won't be able to survive?"

"Why else?" Li Rui smiled wryly, "We are originally from the Song family in the ancestral county... just like the big brother, our ancestors have always been the horsemen of the Song family, raising horses well, this Kongtong The monk from the mountain came to kill him?

Afterwards, I joined Li Langjun, the ancestral man of the Li family, and organized him under the command of Li Bai, the general of the Li family. Li Bai was defeated at the city of Chaona. After one night, Li Langjun came back after being killed... After being killed and scattered, my two brothers fled eastward all the way to Anwu, where they were recruited by General Li Mao..."

Was it the officers and soldiers who surrendered the rebels, or the one who surrendered and surrendered?
Even if there is no life in hand, the possibility of surviving after this autumn is not very high. No wonder the two brothers are so scared?
The fat man sighed again: "But what can I do, I can only resign myself to fate..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Li Cong whisper: "The officers and soldiers are here..."

The two brothers ran away to their fields.

The fat man looked up, and saw five or six carriages pulling dry mud, driving this way.

The drivers were also captives, but every five or six carts were guarded by a cavalryman in white armor.

Seeing the two brothers jumping up and down like monkeys, Li Liang secretly laughed.

"You bastard, who made you run around?"

He was yelling and cursing, and the horse was urged to rush over, with a whip.

There was a "pa" sound, and there was a blood mark on Li Cong's face.

"Excuse me..." Li Cong argued loudly, "I waited for my brother to see that the big brother was struggling, so I helped him..."

"If you are so capable, then add another ten acres..."

After whipping a few times, Li Liang lifted the reins and rushed towards the fat man again, cursing while whipping: "You dare to be lazy under the eyes of grandpa? You are so fat..."

What Li Liang was holding was a cowhide soft whip, and with all his strength, there was a blood groove when the whip went down.

The fat man howled and rolled all over the floor as he was whipped.

It took more than ten lashes before Li Liang stopped, and said with a sneer: "You will be fined twenty acres, and if you can't finish it in the dark, you will be put in the dungeon... If you don't get out..."

Twenty acres, not to mention it's dark, even ten days can't finish it?

It's just a little slow, and it's a severe beating. Now that I'm in prison, I don't know what kind of punishment I will have to suffer?

Fatty felt cold in his heart.

After the prisoner unloaded the car and followed Li Liang away, the two brothers ran over and helped the fat man to sit upright.

Looking at the fat man again, there are more than a dozen marks on his head and face slantingly, blood is oozing out, tears and nosebleeds are flowing out non-stop, how miserable it is.

"When is this a head?" Fatty sobbed, "It's better to die..."

Seeing that the fat man's face was blood-stained like a tabby cat, and his tone was so funny, Li Cong almost collapsed.

Li Rui glared at him fiercely, squatted down, and wiped the fat man's nosebleed with his sleeve: "It's better to fight than to die..."

The fat man cried, "The officers and soldiers have knives and guns, horses and armor, and I only have a wooden fork in my hand. How can I fight?"

"I'm going to do my best, is it possible that I have to find you a crossbow?" Li Rui sneered, "If you don't want to be imprisoned in a dungeon and starve to death, you can fight with my brothers..."

starve?

Even if you are hacked to death, you cannot starve to death...

A fierce light suddenly appeared in the fat man's eyes, and he nodded fiercely.

……

Not two minutes later, Li Liang came with five more mud trucks.

Li Rui called Qu from a distance: "My lord, ten acres a day, even if it's dawn, you can't finish it. You should put me in prison?"

Seeing that the three of them were sitting on the field stalks, they seemed like dead pigs not afraid of boiling water, Li Liang pretended to be furious, and rushed over with a horse.

"It's so daring..."

But before the whip was drawn, the fat man jumped up and slammed into the horse with all his strength.

The two brothers followed closely, one pulled the reins, the other pulled Li Liang.

The horse is a soft horse specially prepared for fat people, how could it be so easy to knock over?
On the contrary, Li Liang took advantage of the situation and fell to the ground.

The fat man bumped into the horse, and the horse didn't move at all, but he was bounced back, just turned over, and saw two brothers flying towards the officer and soldier, the older one was holding a sharpened knife in his hand. The fork tines pierced into the officers and soldiers' necks.

There was a puffing sound, and a bloody arrow flew out, spraying Li Rui's head and face.

As if he was not relieved, Li Rui stabbed him hard a few more times. By the time the fat man came to his senses, he was already out of breath...

A group of captives were stunned for a long time, as if they couldn't figure it out, they managed to survive, how could these few rebel?
"Who dares to call, Grandpa stabbed you?" Li Rui growled, and pulled out Li Liang's waist knife.

Li Cong was not idle either, quickly peeling off the iron armor on Li Liang's body, not even letting go of the bow and quiver.

"Run, run..." the fat man tugged at the two brothers.

"You ride a war horse!" Li Rui kicked the fat man, then rushed towards the carriage with a knife in his hand.

Several prisoners scattered in fright.

He cut off the harness of the horse two or three times, and untied one for Li Cong.

When I turned around, the fat man hadn't climbed on the horse yet?
Li Cong pushed the fat man's butt, even trying to feed him, but the fat man didn't move at all.

Mr. Lang is really good enough, why did you choose such a fat man?
Li Rui slandered, and stabbed the fat man's ass with the tip of the knife.

Hearing a scream, the fat man rolled onto the horse's back like flying.

Li Liang, who was sizing up secretly with half-closed eyes, almost burst out laughing.

"Let's go!" Li Rui yelled sharply, and slammed the back of his knife on the horse's ass.While urging the horse, he turned around and cursed: "A group of idiots... I have killed all the officers and soldiers, how can you survive? If you don't run away now, when will you wait?"

Following the voice, the person ran farther and farther, Fatty and Li Cong followed closely behind...

It is not true that a few prisoners escaped, nor did they stay.

After being stunned for a while, two of them ran to untie the horse in a hurry as if they had just woken up.

The other two muttered a few words and touched Li Liang.

But just after taking two steps, he heard a muffled sound, like the sound of a blade piercing the flesh, and then saw a head soaring into the sky.

The remaining one, who was a prisoner, was clearly Li Bai's eldest son, Li Zhao.

Before the second prisoner could react, he felt a pain in his abdomen, subconsciously lowered his head, and saw a knife point protruding from his stomach.

"Kill them all!" Li Liang sat up, wiped the blood on his face with one hand, and touched a pig urine bubble dripping blood from his neck with the other hand.

"No!" Li Zhao responded, raised his knife and rushed towards the remaining two captives...

……

Two quarters later, Li Liang and Li Zhao drove a carriage and returned to the city wall.

There were also two dead bodies in each cart.

"Mr. Binglang, he has already left!" Li Liang said loudly.

"Well, hard work!"

Li Chengzhi nodded, and said to Li Zhang at the bottom of the city: "Go... Remember, don't chase too closely..."

It's too fake if you don't even chase after it.

"Promise!" Li Zhang clasped his fists, shouted a few times, and led a group of cavalry away.

"You have a plan, can't you?"

Looking at the three horses running further and further away, Hu Baozong asked worriedly.

Li Chengzhi sighed sadly: "It's better than doing nothing!"

Although he said so, he was still a little worried.

These two brothers can be regarded as the two most clever characters under his command, and they must come back alive...

After pondering for a while, Li Chengzhi turned his head again, and said to Guo Cunxin: "I will send troops tomorrow morning, and I can only entrust uncle to the matter in this city!"

"Don't worry!" Guo Feng confessed after receiving the letter, "You should also be careful in everything!"

"En!" Li Chengzhi nodded, and said to Li Song and Guo Cunxin, "Go back to the camp and reorganize the army!"

The two agreed, and followed Li Chengzhi down the wall...

　I'm really sorry, I just wrote the outline, so I only wrote four thousand.

　　As of today's [-], a total of [-] is owed, and it will definitely be paid by the end of the month.

　　In addition, the first volume is coming to an end soon, so there will be a lot of plot foreshadowing in these two days, please forgive me.
