Chapter 88 Reporting
If you were the general who commanded the troops, you should build fortifications immediately outside the two cities of Maitreya and Dakong. It was too late to ask the masters of the temple to directly blow up the mountain. As for the territory of Sui State... from the Siheng Mountains behind Dangtu Mountain to Jingzhou and Wuzhou in the middle, nearly half of the territory is not dangerous to defend. Now the war soldiers have been damaged one after another, and the troops are insufficient. Do not fight attributable wars with monsters on that land. You should immediately move the people, clear the two states, confront the monster army through the Wumen River in the middle, and be sure to restrain them in the northern border of the Sui State waiting for reinforcements, and then...
But when he thought of this, he was suddenly stunned and thought to himself what he was doing. He was just ten generals in Wuliang City, and now he can't even be considered a "soldier". Who would he tell me about this?
Before, he rode his horse and felt the long-lost pleasure. At this moment, he felt so tight that he was so tired that he wanted to whistle. He knew that these things should not be something he should worry about, and it would be useless to think about them. But he felt like an old farmer - he worked on a field for three years, and although he had to sell the field afterwards, he suddenly knew that someone had asked the field to be abandoned, so how could he feel happy in his heart?
But looking at Sui Zi'ang's smile just now, he wouldn't have the same mood as himself. He has never faced monsters on Beiyuan, and he doesn't know how cruel and terrible those things are. Sui Zi'ang may think that the six kingdoms have lasted for a thousand years, and the failure of the Beiyuan war is just a temporary danger, and there will always be others to deal with it.
The princes of the Sui Kingdom like him think this way, would those kings and emperors in the south who do not border the Demon Kingdom?
Li Bochen sat on the horse for a while and felt sad. But he told himself that the things I did in Zhangcheng were to have the foundation for a long life in the future. As for the future... whether to live in the mountains and rivers or domineering the world, it depends on the destiny. When the building is about to collapse and the sea is flowing, it is the day when the hero is born. I hope I can become a hero too.
He sighed again, grabbed the horse's belly and walked towards Zhangcheng.
After entering the city, he did not hide his whereabouts, but put on iron armor and ate a meal in the car shop openly. The shopkeeper of the car shop had not expected that he was an officer, and he looked a little panicked. After giving him some more food, Li Bochen accepted it with a smile.
Then he went upstairs, took off his armor clothes, thinking that it would be okay if he waited for another two or three days. The matter of Zhangshan was about to be done and he should not fail. As for the Duke of Chebei Sui Wujiu... he should know that he was dead this time. Once Wuliang City was broken, he fled with the remaining soldiers and lost all his capital.
Sui Zi'ang said that he went south to apologize, but Li Bochen felt that he would take Sui to the southern Yu Kingdom. If he was more courageous, he would go directly to the Emperor's Kingdom to seek asylum. I heard that the emperor liked to play the trick of power and balance, and I thought he would be happy to have Duke Chebei in his hands to control the King of Sui.
If so, I, the "chief of Duke Chebei", would still be somewhat dependent, and the government will not act rashly, but Fang Die's hope will be dashed.
He stood by the window and looked out, thinking that the man was accustomed to speculation and didn't know what to react to when he learned about Wuliang City.
He had many things to consider in his mind, and his situation was extremely subtle, so the afternoon passed quickly. During this period, the Yin God went out and found that the people staring at him had changed from two to four. Perhaps Fuzhi planned to tie himself up when he received the order to "check the remnants of the Beigong", but the speed of passing messages in this world was very slow. Even at this moment, the King of Sui had issued an order, and Zhangcheng would have to wait for more than a month before he could get the order. By then, he had already left.
After sunset, he went downstairs to have a meal. He waited for another two hours, and when he heard eleven sounds faintly from the city, there was a rustling sound outside the window.
Li Bochen walked over and opened the window, Fang Die's face appeared outside. He was a little stunned, then jumped in and said, "General, please know about Mr. Che Bei."
At this time, his tone was not as respectful as last night, and his expression was much calmer. Li Bochen walked to the bed and sat down: "I only knew it during the day."
Fang Die stood by the window and looked out. Seeing that Li Bochen stopped talking, he lowered his voice and said, "What are the general's plans?"
Li Bochen smiled and said, "Are you panic? The grand duke just went to the capital to apologize. It is still unknown whether you can invite him or not. You should be at ease for the time being."
Fang Die frowned and said, "But you asked me to go to Wuliang City before, saying that you could get wealth and honor. What should I do now? I am not you... You can leave when you see that the situation is not good, but I have an old mother. I can't go to Wuliang City. If I were in Zhangcheng... and someone knew about the matter between you and me, how could I feel at ease?"
Li Bochen sneered and asked him back: "So what do you want?"
After hearing what Fang Die said, he thought in his heart that this person was indeed what he thought. If there was any benefit, he would flatter him. Now that the benefits he promised him were gone, his attitude changed drastically. He had made up his mind that if Fang Die seemed to be about to turn against him, he would immediately take action to capture him. If he remained strong after that, he would be afraid that he would have to take his life.
But what surprised him was that after hearing his unkind tone, Fang Die was stunned and said, "You really haven't received any secret orders from Mr. Che Bei?"
He sighed again and sat down beside the bed: "General Li, General Li... Alas, you really made me desperate."
Just as Li Bochen was about to speak, Fang Die stood up again and said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, I will take my mother out of Zhangcheng first. There is also a saying that I would like to advise you - it's better to leave tonight."
Li Bochen didn't expect Fang Di to say such words. Was he here to persuade himself to leave tonight? He just didn't know if it was out of good intentions or to protect himself. He smiled and said, "You can leave, but I can't. I do things for the Grand Duke, even if the situation is critical, I will die before I can."
Fang Die was stunned for a moment, walked two steps in the house, hesitated for a moment, and said, "General, don't blame me for not reminding you - Su Liangyou and Sui Buxiu have already planned to attack you. Their plan is to take you to Zhangshan tomorrow, and then seize the fortune of Shanjun, and kill you too. When Ye Chengchou is dealt with, you can only push your affairs on him. If you don't leave tonight, you will be afraid that you will not be able to leave!"
This sentence made Li Bochen even more surprised. The surprise was not that the people in the government office wanted to be unfavorable to him, but that they said it from Fang Die.
"Are you coming to tell me about this tonight?"
Fang Die sighed: "I didn't want to tell you at first. But yesterday I accidentally asked my mother to know about me and you. Today she heard me tell Sui Zi'ang's plan, so she forced me to report it to death. General Li, whether you were showing kindness last night or out of your heart, I have returned your love tonight."
Li Bochen was silent for a moment: "Having such a mother is also a blessing you have cultivated."
Fang Die smiled, not knowing what he was thinking, and said, "Then I will say goodbye."
