Lords of War: Sinicized Dragonborn

Chapter 68, Emperor Li enters the secret realm Shule and is besieged
As soon as the cornucopia was ready, Li Di threw all the [-] gold coins he had left into the cornucopia.

Even if the interest rate is 1% a day, Li Di can get 38 gold coins from the cornucopia every day, and more importantly, the cornucopia can also increase the interest rate every day. . 0.01*1.03=0.0103*1.03=0.010609...

Save some money, plus there are occasional replenishment of gold coins from Lucky Golden Toad and Money Tree, Li Di doesn't have to worry about the job transfer fee in the territory, and he can freely transfer to the native barbarians to act as Liyue The leader of the leader.

A special chief was transferred from Longan Pass, and asked him to lead two soldiers to guard the treasure house of this cornucopia day and night.

After dealing with the things that need to worry about in the territory for the time being, Li Di began to recruit the people who were going to bring into the trial secret realm tonight.

Although they already knew that Geng Gong and Shule City in the secret realm of the trial would be in a state of food shortage for a long time.

But Li Di has nothing to do. His current territory still relies on fishing to survive. Occasionally, the soldiers who go out to explore will bring back some prey on the way to increase the food reserves of the territory.

Regarding the current consumption rate of a thousand catties of food, in fact, the current Li Yueling does not have much food reserves, and there will be a crisis of food supply cut-off at any time.

Therefore, Emperor Li still planned to bring fifty trainees and three days' worth of food and water supplies into the trial secret realm.

Since he intends to let Emperor Li's leaders enter the trial secret realm for further study, then they can't let everyone live too leisurely and unrestrainedly.

Only the harsh environment and endless enemies can make these native barbarians grow up and learn quickly, and brew a tenacious national will.

When midnight was approaching, Emperor Li called Yingjie and Li Zhi, preparing to wait for tomorrow's weather and auspicious position, after the predicted results appeared.

Tell him on the spot, and let him make reasonable arrangements for various things in the territory tomorrow morning.

At midnight, Li Di, who entered this trial secret realm for the first time since he obtained it, led fifty soldiers from the territory, and another recruited gentleman, stepped into it.

Li Di, who first entered the Trial Secret Realm, immediately received a prompt to choose the Trial Secret Realm through the system.

Here, he needs to choose the battle formation to bring into the Trial Secret Realm.

Only in this way will it not happen that the once-a-day opportunity to test the secret realm will not be used up as soon as the hero enters alone.

Maybe other heroes or heroes can directly enter, saving this tedious application process.

But he, Li Di, can't do it. So far, all the registered leaders of Li Yueling are under the commander of Li Di's battle formation, even the three who are Ying Jie.

Emperor Li, who possesses oriental thinking and wants to be the emperor, will not condone any unstable factors in the territory.

After all, there is a saying that goes well, names and utensils are the only ones, not human beings.

Decentralization of power, but this does not mean that from now on, Li Yueling is the one who has the final say.

After all, there is no such thing as loyalty in the war lord's system, and all the registered leaders are included in Emperor Li's battle commander.

If it is said that among the people in Liyueling, there are bold and ambitious people who feel dissatisfied with Liyueling and want to launch a rebellion.

Then, the first thing he has to do is to break away from Li Di's campaign commander and Li Yueling's war system jurisdiction.

But once the rebellious ambitious people really leave Emperor Li and Li Yueling's war system jurisdiction, it means that they will lose all the support of the war lord system.

To put it bluntly, the key factor for Emperor Li to maintain his territory for a long time and unite the hearts of the people mainly depends on his interests.

It's just that this kind of interest will be divided into different sizes.

As small as the personal interests of the distribution of personal resources, the interests of the safe growth of one's own children and grandchildren, in order to maintain these various personal interests, in the end, countless people's hearts gathered and brewed to become the interests of the territory.

Because the long-term existence and prosperity of Liyue Ling is indeed related to all the interests of everyone.

The battle formations of the Lord of War system only have seven formation permissions.

At present, all the people in Li Yueling are divided into five battle formations by Emperor Li.

Three heroes, each with a battle formation, Li Di himself led a formation into the trial secret realm, and all the remaining leaders formed a formation.

If the three Ying Jie want to use their manpower and strength, they need the status and duty token issued by Li Di to transfer people from Li Yueling's leader battle formation.

As Li Di chose the battle formation to bring into the trial secret realm, after all 50 people stepped into the trial secret realm, all the personnel arrived.

After Li Di only felt his eyes go dark and then light, everyone moved from the preparation space of the trial secret realm to the Loess Gobi.

The hot and unbearable sun hangs high in the sky, spreading its luster wantonly.

Li Di, who had learned all kinds of intelligence and information in the secret realm of the trial, knew it from the mouths of Yingjie Li Jiang and Yingjie Li Xin.

Right now, everyone is just being sent to the vicinity of Shule City. Li Di needs to bring Li Yue and everyone into Shule City as soon as possible, and join Geng Gong's team of defending the city.

Otherwise, he will experience once, the tragic prey hunted by the Xiongnu army.

After identifying the direction, Li Di led the mighty crowd towards Shule City along the rammed earth road that was trudged out by pedestrians.

Fortunately, Li Di didn't last long in this kind of sluggish rush, and he was discovered by the big Han cavalry who went out to investigate in Shule City.

A team of three sentry cavalry, after spotting Li Di's people from a distance, a sentry cavalry immediately reined in their horses and stopped in place.

Then a sentinel rode out on his horse and went straight to the high ground with good visibility nearby to investigate and guard.

And the rest of the sentinels, who were not afraid of Li Di, were so numerous that they single-handedly greeted Li Di and the others.

As for the sentinel who reined in his horse and stopped within the visible range, he kept an eye on the contact between Li Di and the others and his own sentinel.

The big Han sentry cavalry who came in front of Li Di immediately shouted and asked loudly as soon as he got close to Li Di and the others:

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Judging from the face of the big man under the helmet, he was in his 30s and [-]s.

The big man's sentry cavalry had very keen insight, but with just a glance, he immediately discovered that Li Di, who is the leader of the crowd, was the leader of the crowd, and this shout was also directed at Li Di.

"This general of the Han family, I am a wanderer of the Han family who grew up in the Western Regions. I led the generals to migrate here, mainly to return to the Han family, recognize and return to the ancestors, and glorify the ancestors..."

Li Di, who stepped forward to reply, casually uttered a bunch of fake polite words.

There is a saying that "communication is shallow and words are deep, even if he, Emperor Li, knows that the vicinity will soon be covered with horseshoes of the Huns cavalry.

He also can't go forward and open his mouth to report, general, there is military information here...

Let's not talk about the three big men in front of us. Believe it or not, Li Di, whose identities are unknown, and there are a lot of armed men, said the military information from his mouth.

Even if the three big fellow sentry cavalry believed what Li Di said about the Huns' military situation, guess what the three big fellow sentry cavalry would do?
On the one hand, there are too many people, unknown identities, too many uncertain factors, and more than 50 Li Di who walk slowly on foot.

On the one hand, it is necessary to report the military intelligence of the Xiongnu's invasion to the Han generals stationed at the rear as quickly as possible.

What would the three big sentry riders do, and how would they weigh the pros and cons.

Whichever is more important, Li Di believes that the three big men in front of him will make the choice that best suits their status and responsibilities.

This is not a ruthless choice, on the contrary, making a choice in line with their identities and responsibilities is the most sympathetic performance.

Because, in case of their failure to report the military intelligence related to the invasion of the Xiongnu in time, the big Han border guards stationed at the city and the city gates in the rear will make timely wartime defenses.

There may be more Han people than Li Di's 50 people who died tragically under the raging swords of the Huns cavalry.

If it were Li Di, he would have left behind the fifty armed men of unknown origin and rushed to return the letter.

Moreover, the military situation is not something you can say whatever you want.

Military intelligence, such important information, must be based on evidence.

Since you discovered the information about the Huns' army, where did you find it?How did you find out?How did he escape from the horseshoes of the Huns' cavalry?
Where did the Xiongnu army come from, and where did they go?
How long will it be around here?
These detailed information about the Xiongnu army, Li Di has just come to this desolate Gobi, and he is not familiar with the place, how can Li Di clearly explain this kind of detailed information about the Xiongnu army?
In case, because of my ambiguity, there will be a misunderstanding between the big Han sentry cavalry and the big Han frontier guards stationed behind the city.

It's nothing to misunderstand that Emperor Li lied about the military situation, but if it is because of Emperor Li's ambiguity, he neglected to pay attention to the intelligence of the Xiongnu's invasion.

Negligence of defense, leading to the fall of the city checkpoint, and causing the lives of the Han people to suffer what they shouldn't have, then Li Di really did something bad with good intentions.

So some things, even if you know it is important, need a suitable time and the right person to say it, so that it can really attract attention.

For example, if a passer-by says you are sick, you will call him crazy, but you will not pay attention to it, but if a doctor tells you that you are sick, you will definitely take it seriously.

The two said the same sentence and meant the same thing, but their different identities would lead to different results.

And if the order of the passer-by and the doctor is reversed, and with the doctor's diagnosis as proof, you will discover the correctness and kindness of the passer-by.

After Li Di revealed his identity, the Dahan sentry asked where Li Di's hometown was, and other questions to increase trust.

After all, while the big man is constantly assimilating his surroundings, these barbarians clinging to the big man are also assimilating the big man.

Every time the Xiongnu invaded the Han Dynasty, they would plunder a lot of Han people's daughters on their return journey.

In terms of racial blood alone, there is not much difference between the Xiongnu and the Han.

But these descendants born of the women who were plundered by the Han Dynasty and the Huns will become the Huns who invaded the Han Dynasty next time.

Just like many people who go out to work in modern times, they say that they are fellow villagers to gain trust, but when they ask for the detailed address, they can’t say one, two, three. In this case, if they fail to win trust, they will lose their original popularity and Rejected and mistrusted.

After initially winning the trust of the big Han sentry cavalry, the three big Han sentry cavalry did not choose to leave. After pointing out the direction and distance of Shule City to Emperor Li.

The three of them wandered around Li Di and the others all the way, while guarding Li Di and the others, they were also investigating troubles in other directions.

After asking the sentry cavalry of the Han Dynasty, Li Di knew that the location where Li Yue led the crowd appeared was not the Huns area west of Shule City.

Instead, he walked southeast of Shule City, heading towards Yumen Pass. From a geographical point of view, Emperor Li couldn't get close to the Xiongnu army at all.

Since he couldn't get in touch with the Huns, it also meant that Emperor Li didn't have a reasonable source of information about the Huns.

Fortunately, Li Di didn't talk nonsense, and he could explain that he was not familiar with the environment and lost his way when he went the wrong way.

But across the city of Shule, you can know the movement of the Xiongnu army in the northwest, so Li Di really has a mouth and can't tell.

With three big fellow sentry cavalry pointing out the direction and escorting them along the way, the walking speed of Li Di and others accelerated a lot.

Just when everyone reached the last corner from Shule City, a big man sentry cavalry standing in front of him suddenly made a special gesture to the sentry cavalry leader.

In an instant, Emperor Li noticed that the look of the big man sentry cavalry officer changed immediately.

Originally, as they walked and communicated along the way, the big fellow sentry cavalry, who had initially gained some trust, stayed away from Li Di and others.

The sentry cavalry officer sent another big man sentry cavalry to inquire about news in another direction.

Also based on the looks and reactions of the three big fellow sentry cavalry, Li Di sensed that something was wrong.

Immediately sent the two captains who brought him into the trial secret realm this time, and a captain of the shield battalion went to find the sentry officer and soldier to understand the situation.

A corporal trotted up to the high ground and checked the situation in the direction of Shule City.

Facing the Liyue leader who came over alone, the sentry cavalry officer and soldier who showed goodwill, although he still revealed the aura of not getting close to strangers.

But it was much easier than facing the 50 people behind Li Di.

As the two corporal leaders returned, Li Di also learned about it from his own two corporal leaders.

The current Shule City has been surrounded by the Hun army.

Shule City is a fortress city located in a mountain channel, and the whole city wall is made of rammed earth.

Although the walls of Shule City are built with simple materials, the walls of Shule City are actually very strong.

Especially for these Huns with all cavalry and no siege equipment, it is very useful.

For the Xiongnu nomads, whose iron forging technology is far inferior to that of the big Han, as long as their horse riding can be abolished.

In terms of infantry combat alone, the border defense of the big Han, which is defended by the city's geographical location, is actually not afraid of the Huns' large soldiers.
