Chapter 295 General Li's Determination
Chapter 295 General Li's Determination
Because Li's army was lazy, they did not send anyone out to investigate in advance. They did not react until the Qilin Guards arrived at the city.
The Li family army defending the city looked at each other in confusion, wondering what to do now.
"Open the city gates and let them pass?"
"Is it a question of whether to go through or not? Gunzhou and Tongzhou are not on the same line at all, which means that if Duke Lu wants to go to the capital, he doesn't have to go through Tongzhou, but he went around it."
An older soldier said.
"Why come around?" asked someone who didn't understand.
"Stupid! Of course you want to subdue or kill him."
"What! Kill! Why?"
The older soldiers sighed, "Why? Because our General Li is from the Wuwang faction."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers became dispirited. What should they do?
Looking at the spirited Qilin Guards below, he felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his head.
It's definitely impossible to beat him.
The city gate had actually been open all the time, and before the army arrived, there were still many civilians going in and out, but now the civilians were all hiding.
Wang Kui pointed at the wide-open city gate and said, "Duke, why don't we rush in?"
"If we don't go in, we will scare the people." Lu Jingmo glanced at the city wall, "Go and issue a challenge. We will meet at the city gate in an hour."
Wang Kui took the order and went forward. When he passed by Lu Yu, a loudspeaker was stuffed into his hand.
"General Wang, this is a louder way to shout."
Wang Kui thanked him happily. Although it had not been used yet, he knew that what Lu Yu took out was definitely not an ordinary item.
Be sure to use it well.
With one hand on his waist and the other holding the loudspeaker to his lips, he took a deep breath and shouted:
"Hey, Li's army, listen carefully. For the sake of the people in the city, we, the Qilin Guard, will not force our way into the city. So, let's meet outside the city for an hour."
As soon as Wang Kui finished shouting, the thing in his hand was taken away. He turned around and saw Lu Yu's indescribable expression.
"General Wang, it's my fault. You don't need this trumpet at all."
General Wang: No, that’s what he needs. This voice is too powerful.
I didn't understand why Miss Lu Yu said that. Just when I was about to ask something, I saw from the corner of my eye that all the Qilin Guards were covering their ears with painful expressions.
He realized what was wrong with them later and said with a wry smile, "Miss Lu Yu's stuff is just great."
"General Wang, don't make excuses for yourself. It's obviously because your voice is too loud."
"That's right! Your voice is so useless just talking."
Wang Kui's face was stern. What did he mean? "You little brat, what else can you do with your voice besides talking? And you're still burying it? You all deserve a beating."
"Of course it can also be used to kill people."
"Get lost, you are talking nonsense!"
"I'm not talking nonsense. Otherwise, General, look at the Li family army standing on the city wall."
Wang Kui looked up and his expression became tense. There was really no one left standing!
Lu Jingmo looked up at the sky, and his Qilin Guards seemed to have changed their appearance.
In the past, no matter whether they were generals or soldiers, the Qilin Guards would never smile, let alone joke.
When did it start to become like this?
The Qilin Guards led by Lu Chuan of Yuezhou Prefecture did not seem to be like this!
In the city, the general's mansion
"General!"
A personal guard with two balls of cotton stuffed in his ears helped General Li up after he fell off the bed.
Li Yi looked at his guards and asked hesitantly, "An earthquake? Or a flash flood? That's not right! It hasn't rained yet, so it can't be a flash flood."
He slapped his ears, which were buzzing.
The guards helped him lie down on the bed, "General, there was no earthquake, nor flash floods. It was the Qilin Guards that were approaching the city."
Hearing this, Li Yihuo sat up suddenly and walked out without even putting on his shoes.
The guards outside the door stopped him and said, "General, there is no need to rush. You should put on your clothes first."
"Nonsense, the enemy is at the gates, why are you not in a hurry?" Li Yi scolded as he walked out.
"Someone, come here! Bring me the red tasseled spear."
"General, the battle is scheduled to take place in an hour. Not only will you have time to get dressed, you will also have time to eat."
Li Yi paused, turned around and looked at the guard who was speaking in disbelief, "What challenge?"
Then the guard told the story that the Qilin Guard had arranged a battle outside the city in order not to harm the common people.
Li Yi frowned, not knowing what he was thinking about. He sighed heavily and then went back to the house to put on his clothes.
An hour later, Li Yi gathered the listless Li family army and came to the outside of the city.
Along the way, he was thinking that when he woke up, it was not a dream, and all his soldiers were possessed by evil spirits.
Just by looking at the mental state of the Qilin Guards, he knew that he could not fight them at all, and that the other side had more people than his side.
Lu Jingmo and Li Yi looked at each other tacitly and rode forward at the same time.
In the middle of the Chu River and Han River, the two men faced each other, and Lu Jingmo spoke first.
"General Li, you should know clearly that if a fight breaks out, your Li family army will have no chance of winning. Do you want to bury all 100,000 of these soldiers just for your personal gratitude?"
Li Yi laughed, "Don't threaten me, Duke. I know you are not the kind of person who would kill people. Otherwise, you and I would not be talking here."
"Indeed, this duke cannot bear to kill these soldiers who are protecting the border. Being able to talk to you here is an opportunity for you and the Li family army."
At this point, Lu Jingmo's expression became serious. "But if you insist on resisting, the Qilin Guards will not show mercy. After all, this is a war."
Li Yi's heart trembled. He knew that he was telling the truth. Having said this, he made a decision and felt a lot more relaxed.
He couldn't betray his benefactor, and he couldn't let Li's army die either.
The only way is to use his life to repay Master Wuwang's kindness.
He clasped his fists towards Lu Jingmo and said, "Duke, can you give me another hour?"
Lu Jingmo looked at his expression, and there was a serious pleading in his eyes.
"Can!"
Li Yi took the generals of the Li family army away, leaving only ordinary soldiers and the Qilin Guards to face each other.
"Grandfather, what does General Li want to do in this hour?" Xie Huanzhu squatted on the ground with her chin in her hand, pulling weeds out of boredom.
Lu Jingmo did not answer, but looked at Lu Yu, "Xiao Yuer, do you know what General Li wants to do?"
"I know. He wants to die."
Lu Yu was not in a good mood. Just now, she saw a large amount of black gas suddenly appear above General Li's head, and she knew that he was planning to end his life.
Xie Huanzhu felt something was wrong when she heard it, but she couldn't remember what was wrong at the moment, "Then we have to go and stop it quickly."
Lu Yu put his arm around her shoulders and said, "We have no right to stop him. If you want him to live, Grandfather must not go to the capital and oppose Wuwang."
Xie Huanzhu opened her mouth for a long while before she said, "Is he so loyal to Wuwang?"
