It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 821

Li Xing used Luofeng City as a whetstone, and his team took turns to attack the city. Day after day, like a thunderstorm, it brought enormous pressure to Luofeng City.

Luofeng City is too small, especially in comparison with the oil-rich Yangzhou.

Faced with this situation, Chu Yunsheng was very worried, Qi Jiguang had trouble sleeping and eating, and the city was in trouble from top to bottom.

In contrast, Li Xingzai actually behaved quite calmly. Eat well and sleep well every day, seemingly unaware that there is a knife on top of your head, and it will fall at any moment.

His calmness played a role in calming the hearts of the army. Everyone thought that King Xiaoyao had already had a special strategy to deal with the Yangzhou soldiers, and the situation at hand was not so bad.

Actually no.

The key is that Li Xingzai has experienced too much, and the sixth prince of the empire has been reduced to a beggar. I have been a bandit, a pirate, and I have been manipulated into a puppet by Cui Xiang. Every word and deed must be arranged...

It's not that the current situation is not bad enough, but that it is nothing compared to what has been experienced.

Something happens, just catch up, and there's no other way.

In the hall of the palace, Li Xingzai and Chu Yunsheng gathered together to discuss matters. In the face of the current situation, no one can cheer up.

Chu Yunsheng opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan, maybe I can retreat?"

"Oh, there is still a way to do it now. The military division is worthy of being a military division. Let's talk about it, what is the way?"

Chu Yunsheng sighed helplessly, and then said slowly: "At present, Li Xing's intention is very obvious, that is to use me to train troops in Luofeng City. If things go on like this, Luofeng City will not be able to last at all. But their teams can be rotated and the luck But there is only one way of food. If we can cut off their way of food, the Yangzhou soldiers will be defeated without a fight.”

It should not take a day or two for Chu Yunsheng to plan this matter, and now the whole person looks a little haggard.

"According to the information received, Yangzhou's grain transportation is by water this time, and the grain and grass are currently hoarded in Liuping Lake. Send a team of elite soldiers out of the city to attack Liuping Lake by water, and burn the grain and grass of Yangzhou soldiers, and the enemy will naturally retreat."

Xu Wentian immediately stood up, cupped his fists in both hands, and said, "Your Majesty Qi, your subordinates are willing to lead the troops, and they will definitely destroy the place where Yangzhou soldiers hoarded grain in Liuping Lake."

Xu Wentian had just followed Li Xingzai not long ago, and was eager to perform, seeking opportunities to make meritorious deeds.

Li Xingzai waved his hand, motioning him to sit down first. Looking at Chu Yunsheng, he asked, "Where did the information come from, is it credible?"

Chu Yunsheng said, "Your Majesty can rest assured. The information came from the prisoners' mouths. The subordinates have interrogated several groups of prisoners, and they all said that Li Xing was stockpiling food in Liuping Lake."

Li Xingzai shook his head and said, "After the trial, we must confirm the news."

Chu Yunsheng was stunned and said, "Could it be that Your Majesty notices that this information is false?"

Li Xingzai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't know if it's fake or not, but we can't afford to gamble now. We can hold on to Luofeng City for a few days.

Chu Yunsheng fell silent, Li Xingzai's words were not unreasonable, and today's Luofeng City did not have the qualifications to take risks.

Qi Jiguang replied: "But it's the current situation. If we don't take risks, we will be slowly exhausted by Li Xing, and I'm afraid we won't be able to survive this winter."

Everyone in the hall looked at each other and felt the difficulty of the current situation.

"It's not impossible." Li Xingzai suddenly snorted, and took out a letter from his arms: "Guess what this is, the East Sea King handed it over?"

The location of Luofeng City is awkward, at the junction of Yangzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou. The forces around him include the King of Yanzhou, the King of Xuzhou, and Li Xing, the first emperor of the Southern Kingdom. However, there is more than one Xuzhou king in Xuzhou.

And the King of the East Sea.

The fief of the East Sea King is not on land, but in the sea. Three hundred miles offshore, there is an island called Qipan Island.

The origin of this East Sea King is actually very strange. He was born in the military, specializing in arresting pirates, and later became a businessman. After the goods were robbed at sea, he changed his career to become a pirate.

From a small pirate to a big pirate, relying on the relationship when he joined the army and the gold and silver robbed by the pirates, he was recruited by the imperial court and became a prince at sea.

In fact, he and the court also got what they needed. The court gave him the honor of honoring the ancestors, and he would not go ashore to harass the town.

Li Xingzai was hanging around in the East China Sea, and he would never have heard of the East China Sea King. Li Xingzai once had a friction with the King of the East Sea when he was cleaning up the thieves at sea with jet lag, but both sides had their own scruples, so they didn't make a move.

However, the relationship between the two sides is really not that good.

Chu Yunsheng frowned in confusion and said, "What is the intention of the King of the East Sea to send a letter at this time, is it to take advantage of the fire, or is he willing to support us?"

"It's not robbery, it's support." Li Xingzai affirmed.

Qi Jiguang frowned: "Send help in the snow, how could the King of the East Sea have such kindness?"

"There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief." Chu Yunsheng also said: "Even if it is an alliance, the two sides are afraid that it will be difficult to trust each other."

"Of course we won't form an alliance casually." Li Xingzai said, "The other party is willing to form an in-law relationship with us."

Li Wan'er sat silently and frowned slightly when she heard this.

Chu Yunsheng didn't dare to look at her. It is said that the King of the East Sea is already old, about fifty or sixty years old. From the perspective of talent and beauty, it is naturally not a good match, but beautiful women have always matched heroes, so saying this does not necessarily humiliate Li Waner.

Li Xingzai waved his hand on the chair of the Grand Master, and said to Li Wan'er, "It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding, it's not you."

Li Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she was a little confused: who would it be if it wasn't her?

Could it be the Jade Bird... Jade Bird is so charming and unparalleled that it doesn't matter if the princes give women to each other. However, it is always a shame to exchange a woman for peace.

Li Xingzai gave a thumbs up and pointed to himself: "It's me."

"Uh……"

Everyone's eyes widened, and the expressions on their faces became weird: Is the dignified King of Free and Easy to endure humiliation to such an extent?

Li Xingzai felt a chill, and waved his hand again: "I think it's wrong, it's not the King of the East Sea who wants to marry me, but Wang Sunli."

Li Xingzai added: "The King of the East Sea is dead."

Wang Sunli's surname is Wang Sun, and her name is one word.

The origin of the King of the East Sea is strange, and Wang Sunli has surpassed it. When the King of the East Sea was still a ship-running merchant at sea, Wang Sunli had been doing mischief at sea for a long time.

She has followed four men, or four men followed him. If this marriage happens...

Li Xingzai is the fifth.
