Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 571 570.

As soon as Li Shimin said the "miracle" words, Du Ruhui was a little speechless.

What does it mean to survive is a miracle?
Isn't it all killed?

While thinking about it, I heard Li Shimin ask:
"How about the casualties of the refugees? Does anyone need medical treatment? You are welcome, there are still some medicines for sores in the barracks, just take them. If the injuries are serious, although it is not convenient for them to enter the city, I can help you. Doctor, please come out and treat me."

"Uh……"

The more Du Ruhui heard this, the more something was wrong, although looking at the expression of concern for the refugees on the other side's face, it showed that no matter what, this person was at least not a worthless person.

This sounds really warm.

But the problem is...

"Second Young Master, is there some misunderstanding?"

He shook his head slightly:
"These people didn't cause any harm to us. On the contrary, the Taoist leader... beat them back by one person."

"..."

"..."

Let alone Li Shimin now, even Tang Jian, who was holding a water glass, trembled and couldn't help asking:

"beat back!?"

Looking at his expression, Du Ruhui nodded:
"Or it can be said that the chief alone repelled the two hundred vanguard troops."

Swish!

In an instant, both eyes fell on Li Zhen.

This Taoist...

so strong?
Li Shimin and Tang Jian didn't know what to say for a while.

Especially Li Shimin.

Recalling the past, the pressure brought to him by that strange guardian...

Maybe other people don't know it, but he has really experienced the power of those guardians.

He also dealt with Sun Hua's Xianfeng Army.

That was when they went to Hedong, they ran into a small group of pioneers.At that time, I didn't know the specific situation, but a team of scouts fell into the hands of the Xianfeng army.

Li Shimin and Li Yuanba personally led the team. Although they didn't keep the armor of the fifty cavalry, but the opponent's strange ability to be like the Iron King after the formation, and the well-trained, it doesn't look like a wild way He was deeply impressed by the military rules and regulations.

Even Yuanba couldn't help but say to himself after slaughtering them:
"These toys are durable and fun."

This shows the patience of those people.

At that time, Li Shimin also thought about who these people were and where they came from.But after all, their goal is not Feng Yi, but Hedong, so one more thing is worse than one less thing. After fighting and killing, it's over.

Later, it was through the elder sister's Baiqisi that they got information about these people.

Li Shimin asked himself.

When it comes to battle formation, he may not lose.

But if he encounters these leading soldiers alone, with his force, there is no other possibility except to retreat.

However, it would be another story if Yuanba could be by his side.

Yuanba's blood is called "Desolate Ancient Battle Blood".

It is a skill left over from ancient times. According to legend, it comes from Chi You's 81 bronze heads and iron foreheads, which eat sand and stones.

This name may be a little strange, but if you want to talk about another name of this exercise, it is really known to everyone.

"Chi You Battle Picture"

"Dragon Fish River Picture" records: "Chi You brothers 81 people, with animal body and human language, copper head and iron forehead, eat sand and stones, build soldiers with swords, halberds and crossbows, powerful and vibrate the world. If you lose, you look up to the sky and sigh."

And what Yuanba cultivated was the "Chi You Battle Picture" technique that broke all defenses.

He was born with supernatural power and a pure mind.

It was simply born for this practice.

When encountering these vanguard troops, they only need to force their blood energy to erode and destroy those faint blue rays of light, and then this vanguard army will be no different from ordinary soldiers.

And how strong Yuanba is... Outsiders don't know, but Li Shimin knows it all too well.

Could it be that the Taoist priest in front of him...can really compete with the serious Yuanba?
And thinking of this, he suddenly remembered the words of the Taoist in front of him that night.

"like a beast"

"I'm not afraid of your younger brother's death"

"Uneducated"

"..."

He clenched his fist subconsciously.

Immediately afterwards, I thought of the elder sister's words that night...

"Erlang, I did this wrong..."

However, the eldest sister still wants to protect this Taoist.

Although he will not go against the will of the elder sister, because no one knows better than him what the elder sister has sacrificed for this family... or for the world.

But after all, every time I think of this...

He couldn't look directly at the Taoist in front of him.

That kind of hostility from the bottom of my heart cannot be faked.

but……

Now is not the time to discuss these things.

Hedong and Shanxi are the important places hand-picked by the eldest sister, so there is no room for loss.

Now, Feng Yixian's army, who was originally not violating the river, suddenly appeared here...without any information.

He has to distinguish which is more important.

After all... Unlike Hedong, Feng Yi County is an out-and-out Guanlong County.

Even the aristocratic families in Guanlong acquiesced to its existence.

Some things... He couldn't help but think about it.

So, temporarily suppressing all unhappiness in his heart, Li Shimin turned to look at his lieutenant general:

"Tang Jian."

"The end is here!"

"Send [-] riders to the Yellow River, a team of ten, take the sentry arrows given to us by the Yin Yang family, and pay close attention to the movement of the Yellow River. If there is any trouble in the Yellow River, report it immediately!"

"Order!"

As soon as Tang Jian cupped his hands, he stepped out of the military tent.

And this military order that suddenly appeared made Du Ruhui frowned:
"The second son's intention... is to worry about that traitor Sun Hua's involvement in Hedong?"

Li Shimin nodded:

"Be prepared first, so you won't be caught blind. To be honest, Brother Du, I have only been in Yuxiang for two days. I originally wanted to find out about the salt production, business roads, and passing places in Yuxiang and Sangquan. After I figured it out, I went to Hejin to visit, but since this vanguard army was able to cross the Yellow River and appear here, there are some things that have to be guarded against."

Hearing this, Du Ruhui thought for a while and nodded:

"In that case, instead of sending [-] riders to monitor the Yellow River, Second Young Master, it is better to go directly to Hejin. The river in the section of Yu Township is dangerous and the current is fast. I will choose this place. On the contrary, the gentle river beach of the Kawazu generation is the best landing place..."

With that said, he got up straight away, walked up to Li Shimin, and pointed to the topographic map of Hedong that was also on the other side's table:

"Look, in the whole of Hedong, Sangquan is located in the northwest of Yu Township, adjacent to Yanshui. The closest important town to Sangquan in Yanshui River is Hancheng of the generation of Jingzhaobeidi. Hancheng's garrison, Li Jing, once let King Wugong (Yang Su) All praised people, Li Jing set up an ambush to capture the group of bandits from the east of the river who invaded Hancheng. In the First World War, many refugees did not dare to flee to Guanlong, which established the safety of Guanlong. Therefore, Feng Yiruo wanted to take the road There are only two roads to go in Hedong. Either cross Hancheng and go to Sangquan, or cross the river and go straight to Hejin. In my opinion, the second son can send someone to contact Li Jing first, let him know about the thing in Hedong, and do it in advance Be prepared to prevent Sun Hua from detouring to Sangquan while recruiting refugees and disrupting the east of the river. On the other side, troops are heavily defending Hejin, and the generation of Yu Township...just let the guards here monitor the river. How about it?"

"..."

"..."

Not to mention Li Shimin, even Li Zhen's eyelids twitched after hearing Du Ruhui's words.

He used to think that Lao Du was very decisive with his temper.

Absolutely absolute buddy brothers.

But just for a moment...

Just such a simple sentence...

It is no exaggeration to say that even at this moment, Lao Du was wearing a military uniform and a long sword, and even Li Zhen believed that he was a general on horseback.

good guy...

Born military strategist?

And Li Shimin obviously had the same idea as Li Zhen.

Surprised face.

In his impression, this Du Jiazi must be capable.But, maybe because of preconceived ideas?Or maybe there are other reasons... People from the Du family are absolutely fine with studying, literature and politics.But this military strategy... Li Shimin never considered that the other party was proficient at all.

But when these words came out, Li Shimin understood...

It's hard to say whether the Du family's culture and politics are good or not, but this person in front of him definitely has a very good strategy!
All of a sudden, he felt close to Du Ruhui.

He even couldn't help but bring a touch of kindness on his face:
"Brother Du is so proficient in military strategy?"

But Du Ruhui doesn't want to be polite with him now.

Even if you can hear his intention of wooing... But the problem is, big brother, I am the head of Hedong, and I have to be responsible for whether the people of a county in Hedong can get stability.

Therefore, he was not polite at all, and said perfunctorily:
"Slightly understand."

Then immediately changed the subject:
"How does the second son feel?"

"..."

Li Shimin's eyes subconsciously fell on the map of Hedong.

At this time, suddenly, Li Zhen said:
"Isn't it time to find out why these leading troops crossed the river?"

As for military...he doesn't know much.

But he felt that the crux of the problem was here.

"Old Du, don't forget that it wasn't just the Xianfeng Army who came that night, there were other people too. As for the source, if we can find out the source of everything, we can find out whether the Xianfeng Army is in collusion with others, or ...I came here under some temptation, or something... Isn't this better?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin said directly:
"It's useless to discuss these now."

"Why is it useless?"

Li Zhen tilted his head, and asked under Du Ruhui's frowning:
"There are no outsiders now, and the poor man simply stopped talking secretly. The Xianfeng army, the two brothers of the Yu family, and the bug-player are all eyeing us at the same time, and the main messenger behind it is a certain family. Find out who it is, and let the Cui family handle the matters involved in the aristocratic family?"

Li Shimin subconsciously wanted to laugh at this Taoist's shallow knowledge.

If this Sun Hua really intends to get involved in Hedong, then the enemy is on the other side, and he doesn't understand the reason for allowing others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?

But just as he was about to speak, Li Zhen continued:

"Of course, I understand what General Li means. You want to defend against the Xianfeng army, and I have no objection. But... this is different from our responsibility to the refugees in the east of the river. In other words, you have to prioritize everything. I think, first of all, we should bring these refugees to Yuqian now, or send people to Yuqian now, and let the Cui family come to meet us. Because this matter must be caused by a certain family, and the Cui family is born, although it is equivalent to Yu completely eliminated the possibility of dealing with the other party, but here in Pindao, at least the stability of the more than 2000 refugees can be guaranteed.

Secondly, although Pindao has no military knowledge, he also knows that the battle is not a child's play.Although I don't know whether the soldiers under General Li's command are comparable to the leading army, but even if we can stick to the danger of the city and ask for help, it will take some time for your father's reinforcements to come, right?Not to mention other things, these more than 2000 refugees are just the beginning. When we can win over most of the refugees from the east of the river, let alone 1.These [-] refugees are all soldiers who have been in the battle. If the time comes as you and General Li have predicted, this Sun Hua invades Hedong... from Yu Kuan to help, it will be faster than Taiyuan Bar?

In the end, maybe Pindao is a little naive...but.I said but!In case, the aristocratic families behind these Xianfeng troops are just probing, seeing that we brought the refugees to Yuqian, and then the Cui family reached a certain kind of interest division with these people, then when we are looking for those refugees, is it in the east of the river? Nothing to stop me?And when the time comes, all the refugees hiding in the deep mountains will come out. If the east of the river is safe and sound, they will be steadfast in their crimes and meritorious deeds.If you are not stable, the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, Pindao thinks that the Cui family will not understand.

Moreover, in the most ideal situation, if Sun Hua knows that Hedong has been managed as a monolith by us, if he wants to chew, will he have to weigh how many teeth he has?If there is no war at that time, how many people will die less?The life of the refugees, the life of the sergeant... isn't it also life? "

"..."

"..."

The two were silent, thinking.

Du Ruhui actually thought of it relatively simply.

Indeed, what I talked to Li Jiazi just now is the most normal and reasonable defense strategy for the situation in Hedong.

It is safest to echo with Han Cheng from afar, and to move upon hearing the wind.

But the words of the Taoist priest... still hit the heart of the heart as always, hitting the nail on the head.

At first glance, it seems a bit short-sighted, but in fact, it is a perfect strategy that can really prescribe the right medicine for Hedong.

If we go ahead according to the Taoist leader's vision, then Hedong will have a reserve reinforcement army that is not yet sure of the exact number, but at least tens of thousands of idle time farming and wartime response.

And it can also eliminate all factors of instability in Hedong County.

After thinking about it this way, it is really the best solution.

In an instant, Lao Du's eyes lit up.

As expected of my friend!
With him here, I feel at ease~
And Li Shimin gradually understood what this Taoist meant.

Indeed, that is the truth.

It is true that the saying that we must first settle down when fighting against the outside world is true.

Although he didn't know that Yu Kuan's Huoyu salt mine was gone until he came to Yu Township, and it was replaced by a pool of dragon fire.

Following the two people's words, they figured out why the other party suddenly appeared in Yuxiang.

And I have to admit that this Taoist is right.

Keep the light, those who have not seen will keep it.

But if there are many people, the power will definitely be great.

But the problem is...

He looked at the Taoist who was looking at him.

The Taoist's eyes were clean and clear.

Although the appearance is a bit ordinary, at least it is not the annoying type.

And being able to say these words proves that the other party is not a fool... That's right, how could a fool be accepted as a disciple by Taoist Suning of Xuan Junguan?
only……

Why can't I just fall in love with him?
