Yan all over the world

Chapter 115 Try Brushing the Iron Clothes as Snowy (6)
Yuan Gong also agreed, "The disparity in military strength has reached a certain point, and many military methods for deploying formations are no longer applicable. The gamble is perseverance and luck, not to mention abandoning the Marco Polo Bridge, which can also make Li Jinglong, an arrogant mediocre man, feel arrogant and slack, which is beneficial to the situation of the war."

I glanced at him approvingly, turned my eyes to the map, and said slowly: "Looking at Li Jinglong's style and talent, the first thing he will do is 'surround', so he should set up a fortress at the Nine Gates of Beiping and divide his troops to attack Tongzhou , Intercept the Tongzhou Yan army who may rush to help Beiping, and then he himself occupies Zhengcunba, which is the place where my father must pass when returning to the army from Yongping, and he may intercept his father there."

Zhu Gaochi looked at the map carefully, his eyes flickered for a long time, as if he wanted to refute me a few words, but finally nodded silently.

I said again: "Li Jinglong's general Qu Neng and Chen Hui, the former is straightforward and brave, while the latter has a smooth personality. If Qu Neng is the one who attacks Beiping, he has to guard against it. However, I heard that when Huang Zicheng recommended Li Jinglong to be in command, Qu Neng once agreed with Qi Tai. , pointing out that it is difficult for Li Jinglong to be a dude, and with Li Jinglong's temperament, it is impossible not to hold grudges in his heart?"

A look of astonishment flashed across Zhu Gaochi's eyes: "Your sister just came back, how did you know about all the affairs of the court?"

I replied lightly: "Father told me." But I sneered in my heart. The villa has a huge and complete channel for information exchange, from the decision-making of the imperial court to the price of rice among the people. Tell me that I have a more sensitive source of information than anyone else, and of course, this cannot be yours.

After the meeting was over, I left the Palace of King Yan and went to the market to see how the people in the city were doing and whether the economy was in disorder. The war was imminent, and people were panicking.

Walking down the street, I changed into men's clothes, changed my eyebrows slightly, and immediately became an ordinary boy with an ordinary face.

Along the way, I am quite satisfied, the order in the city is good, everything is as usual, although the people are a little nervous, but there is no sign of panic, the rice merchants have not raised the price of rice, all businesses are still operating on their own, and the best restaurant in the city is Diancui. Although it is not full, it is still full of guests, so it is not a depression.

I bought a few playthings at random in front of a stall, and asked the vendor who set up the stall: "Brother, how is the business?"

The peddler had a handsome face and a calm smile: "Please ask, it's okay, but tomorrow I will close this stall."

"how?"

The shopkeeper looked at me tolerantly, "The guests are from other places, you don't know, the imperial army has already arrived, and they will come to attack Beiping in just a few days. This stall must not be set up."

I was taken aback. The news of Li Jinglong's army approaching was strictly prohibited from leaking out. I didn't want the common people to know about it. However, I thought the city was so peaceful because I didn't know the result of the army's attack. Now it seems that this may not be the case. It's over.

I laughed: "The army is coming to attack the city, you still have the leisure to do business here, you are so determined."

The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "We little people always have to eat... In fact, we knew that there was going to be a war two months earlier. My elder brother was doing business in the south and told us to go to him, but I didn't want to go. I'm here I’m used to it, and I’ll be comfortable if I die here.”

I frowned, "It's better to die than to live, little brother, if you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood."

The shopkeeper shook his head and pointed to Fang Fang, "What's so good about other places? There are many corrupt officials, not necessarily like Beiping. Last year, there was a severe drought in Hebei and Shandong, and rice was sold for a hundred taels of silver a stone. Poor people can't afford it. They are hungry. There are countless people who died and fled famine. All the disaster relief money from the imperial court went into the pockets of those shameless officials. How many cents went to the common people? Only we in Beiping, Lord Yan killed the corrupt officials and opened the granary of the palace. Beiping is not hungry One person to die! Now that the prince is forced to this point by the court, even though we are worthless ordinary people, it’s not that we don’t have a conscience. "

When I heard his firm tone, I couldn't help but my heart was moved, but my face was calm, "Brother, you are stupid and loyal. You are so kind and kind. What matters is not worth your own life. The power struggle between King Yan and the court, you little ones!" Ordinary people, there is no need to sell your life."

Hearing my words, the peddler was stunned for a moment, stopped his hand that had been picking up the goods, looked at me coldly for a while, and suddenly gave the things in his hand a heavy blow, with such force that even the stall trembled.

"What are you talking about? How can a man be ungrateful if he lives in the world? If it weren't for a bag of rice from Prince Yan's mansion last year, my old lady would have starved to death! My mother's life, my life, and the lives of the people of Beiping are all the princes. Yes, we risked our lives, and we can't give up Beiping. If someone else listens to what you said today, at least I will beat you to death. I think you are childish and ignorant, and you are a foreigner... You go, I will Pretend I didn't hear you!"

After finishing speaking with a full face of anger, I was still not relieved, and then raised my eyebrows to snatch the mask, porcelain plate and other items I bought in my hand, "I don't buy my things for you! Return the money to you, you go!"

He stretched out his hand, and I was still immersed in the shock that his words brought to me. I never thought that my father, who was obsessed with power, was quite popular. He promised him to defend the city at the beginning, but he just felt responsible. Looking at it now, I should work hard even for this sincere commoner. Just as I was thinking, this kid might as well grab it with his hand. He came here with anger, and he grabbed my wrist without any regard for his hands or feet. I was shocked. , Immediately woke up, and subconsciously waved his sleeves, and dark energy gushed out, trying to throw him down.

But seeing him touch my wrist, I was stunned for a moment, and my dark power has already arrived, if I let all my power be exerted on a person who has lost his mind for a moment, I am afraid that he will be injured, I regret it a lot, but it is too late to save him.

But I saw that young shopkeeper, he felt a strong wind blowing his body for a moment, but he didn't panic. He leaned to one side, lowered his shoulders and relieved his strength. Steps rounded, the figure flashed, and the person was already standing in the position just behind the stall.

On this side, one turn, one turn, one flash, just in the blink of an eye, so fast that the pedestrians around didn't notice it.

The young shopkeeper stood still and looked at me in blank dismay. Surprise appeared in his eyes, but in an instant his anger surged up again, and he let out a cold snort.
