I am the Tao of bad people

Chapter 198 The road is so difficult!
Outside Youzhou.

In the Mobei camp.

Shuliduo sat leaning on the royal chair, her broken hand replaced with an iron hand. Despite her disability, she was still charming and stunning. And in her guest seat sat Li Siyuan who had fled from the Central Plains.

The combination of the old, weak, sick and disabled came on the stage.

Shuliduo is not really interested in the culture of the Central Plains, but she is envious of the wealth of the people there.

That is why she attached great importance to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, which was the gateway to the country.

When it comes to business, she talks about business; when it comes to military affairs, she talks about military affairs. On this battlefield, she still respects Li Siyuan's opinion very much.

After all, Li Siyuan once owned the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

"General Li has managed the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun very well. Now that Shen Feng has fortified the city and cleared the countryside, it is difficult for our army to get food and grass. I wonder if General Li has any clever plan to help me break through the city?"

Shuliduo called Li Siyuan General Li, which was also the proof that Li Siyuan had completely surrendered. He had already lost the Central Plains, and now his goal was just to survive in the troubled times. However, Shen Feng would not let him go, so he naturally defected to Mobei.

It's just a question of Shuliduo
"This"

Li Siyuan pondered for a long time, but was unable to give her an answer.

If every question had an answer, there wouldn't be so many unanswered questions.

The existence of a strong city fortress is to make the enemy uncomfortable.

It would be abnormal if the enemy didn't feel uncomfortable.

But Li Siyuan didn't know how to tell Shuliduo directly.

After all, they are now the enemies of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

Before, he was in charge of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and he could have cooperated with Mobei and tricked them into attacking Qi. When the two sides were fighting, Li Siyuan would certainly not cut off Mobei's retreat.

But now it’s different. The Qi State has been connected to the Central Plains, so we can only fight to the death with the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

Li Siyuan didn't say anything, and Shuliduo knew that her question was in vain.

But she changed her mind and asked about another situation: "The commander of Youzhou is now Zhou Dewei. I remember that he was your subordinate. Can you persuade him to surrender?"

Shen Feng used his former generals to fight him, and Li Siyuan felt uncomfortable all over when he thought about it.

"Your Majesty, you should know that I lost some of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in the beginning! I'm afraid it's unlikely to persuade Dewei to surrender now."

Shuliduo nodded and continued to ask: "What is the strength of this person? Are there any flaws?"

Li Siyuan also wanted to go south, so he thought hard and finally came to a conclusion.

"Dewei is a very conventional man in using troops. He doesn't have any special merits."

At this point, Li Siyuan paused for a moment and continued, "Of course, he doesn't have any shortcomings."

He himself felt a little upset when he said this.

Such a person will never make mistakes!

"I heard that Qi Wang Li Maozhen has also arrived in Youzhou. Can we use a trick to let him seize power?"

"Your Majesty, you don't know that Li Maozhen is a woman. She is the concubine of the bad commander and it is impossible for her to disobey the bad commander's orders."

These words were a bit jarring to Shulido's ears.

It sounds like I always disobey Abaoji's orders.

Ultimately, the two of them don't trust each other, otherwise they wouldn't be so sensitive.

With a thought in mind, Shuliduo gave Li Siyuan an order: "Alright. Let's continue the siege tomorrow. You will be in charge of the deployment and look for loopholes."

"promise."

Youzhou.

Song Yunji sat in front of the commander's desk, listening to Zhou Dewei's report on today's siege and defense. She just nodded in affirmation and let him leave to rest.

In fact, she also knew that Shen Feng did not let her take charge of the overall situation because her personality was also more offensive.

But the current situation requires professional defense.

So she just needs to keep abreast of the situation every day.

The troops from Luoyang also came here to reinforce, and the gap in strength between the enemy and us was not that big, so there was basically no problem with such a defensive war.

The night was getting late and Song Yunji was about to rest when she heard that familiar voice.

"General, take off your armor."

"You're here?"

When Song Yunji turned her head, she saw Shen Feng's smiling face and Miao Chengtian behind him.

"Why are you the only one here?"

“The others can’t come.”

After hearing the reason why he couldn't come, Song Yunji didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She poked Shen Feng's chest and said in an annoyed voice, "I did let you have fun, but I didn't let you have fun at the risk of your life, right?"

"There's nothing I can do. General, I'm taking off your armor." As he spoke, Shen Feng started to pull off her armor.

"Stop making trouble, let's talk business first."

Song Yunji fiercely knocked the dog's claws off, and then asked directly: "When do you plan to counterattack Mobei this time?"

"Who knows? We'll have to wait for several months."

Shen Feng has been in this dynasty for a long time. Moreover, he knows very well that no matter which era the large-scale war is in, it will be protracted and you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

"Just wait and see. During the Spring and Autumn period, Shuliduo's preparations were too hasty, so they had to choose the autumn to attack. If we wait for a while longer, it will be winter, and her food and grass will be much harder to get than ours. I still have to wait for news from the Hexi Corridor. If it weren't for the fact that this woman Shuliduo is more difficult to deal with than those barbarians in Hexi, I would be eating melons in Hami and criticizing the dance of the Dunhuang people."

This is true.

Our ancestors conquered the Western Regions for reasons other than the Silk Road, of course, including food, sex and nature.

Make money, not shabby.

But if you can earn money while lying down, eating and drinking, then that is life.

Besides, even if Shen Feng came here to assassinate the king, he wouldn't just rush into the crowd and shoot.

The deployment of an army of hundreds of thousands must be the priority. Shen Feng needs a suitable opportunity, and opportunity is something that can only be obtained through patience.

"It's going to be a bit boring these past few months."

"What? Are you bored after seeing me? Go back and watch your Dunhuang dance!"

Even though Song Yunji and Ji were an old couple, they were still very jealous.

"Walk."

"What to do?"

"I'll take off my armor and watch you dance. But speaking of which, we have to have another son with the surname Shen. Don't you think it's a bit annoying if our son has the surname Li?"

"Let's go!"

These words really touched her heart.

What a hateful Yuan Tiangang!

"Don't just stand there. Come on."

Upon hearing the message, Miao Chengtian behind him blushed, but still followed with all his heart.

These few months are really boring.

Days pass by and news spreads.

But still the same sentence.

Life is like this, you never know which news will come faster.

On this day, Shen Feng sat at the desk. He took out a secret letter belonging to the Bad People from the envelope. After reading it, he laughed silently.

"What happened?"

Song Yunji handed the meal to Shen Feng, somewhat curious about why he looked like that.

"King Ma Xiyue of Chu is dead. As you know, unless I can give him the solution to the Tiangang Neijing Pill, we can only hope that Gangzi will be resurrected."

"Yeah, I heard you say that."

"Then there is Xu Zhigao of Wu. He really succeeded. I used information to force him, but he succeeded in such a hurry. This shows that the foundation of Wu is also rotten."

Shen Feng's voice sounded somewhat melancholy. Those people that Gangzi used to deal with every day were now almost all dead.

That era is long over.

"What about King Wu Yang Pu?"

"She is under house arrest by Xu Zhigao. This house arrest means she is not far from death. Send a message back and have people pay attention to Princess Shangrao. It doesn't matter whether she lives or dies, but I don't want anyone to affect Hanba's invention of gunpowder. This is a national event."

"All right. I'll write the letter myself."

Song Yunji nodded seriously, thinking of the things that happened in Wu, her voice was a little low: "The world has changed overnight. If we unify the Central Plains in the future and attack Wu again, then..."

Shen Feng gently touched her head, and she knew his heart best.

"Yes, great chaos requires great governance."

"Since the turbulent times, people have been displaced and nine out of ten houses are empty. Even after peace comes, and the people are allowed to rest and recuperate, and the government is governed by laissez-faire, I'm afraid it will take many, many years to restore the prosperous Tang Dynasty."

"The past has proven that Emperor Wu of Han conquered the Xiongnu and Wang Mang usurped power. Foreign war only weakens a country, while civil war hurts the people the most."

"We who govern our country should remember how difficult it is to follow the right path."

The road we have taken.

It has been like this since ancient times.
