It's been the third day since Fu Rui besieged Shouchun.

In the past three days, both sides have spared no expense in attacking and defending, and thousands of corpses have been left on the battlefield, but Shouchun City is still standing majestically, Liu Yu and Li Mu led the Shouchun army and civilians, and protected this important stronghold on the Huai River with their lives.

Liu Yu stood at the head of the city and wiped his sweat, he had been in the army for nearly ten years, and he had never undergone such a severe test. In the past, Fu Jian's army, although in terms of combat effectiveness, was definitely stronger than Fu Rui's army, but at this time and then, the situation was completely different. Because this time, Fu Rui was fully prepared, almost with the most powerful force and the most adequate preparation, to deal with the relatively weakest Beifu army.

If it weren't for Li Mu's excellent overall planning and planning skills, and constantly mobilizing limited resources to fill the gap, Shouchun would have fallen long ago. Although this is an insistence, Fu Rui came too suddenly, and the preparations for Shouchun City are still not enough.

"Liu Shuai." Li Mu walked over with the sword, at this time he had already changed into a suit of armor, and there was still blood on the armor, and now he already had a little bit of the demeanor of a general, in fact, in the past, Liu Yu was very dissatisfied with this Li Mu, but men who have fought together are often easy to have friendship, and now Liu Yu is impressed with Li Mu.

Unlike Liu Yu's tired face, Li Mu is full of energy, not because he has been lazy, but because he has been in a state of high excitement, after all, men are more or less a bit of a warrior complex. In the past, Li Mu didn't think about going into battle to kill, but he has always been a civilian official, and now he has the opportunity to fight, which of course makes Li Mu happy.

"Master Lee." Liu Yu smiled tiredly, "Thanks to your timely support, otherwise, I'm afraid it will ......"

"Where." Li Mu said, "Liu Shuai, now you and I are people in the same boat!" One family, don't talk two families! ”

Liu Yu listened, his eyes narrowed slightly, this is meaningful, he nodded hurriedly, and said: "Liu Yu doesn't dare to be, it's just Lord Li, this situation is really a bit critical, whether it is He Wuji, or the Jingkou camp, it will take three or four days for the reinforcements to come, we have to be in the same boat!" ”

Of course, Liu Yu said this is also a temptation, because he also knows that Li Mu has always been a little famous, but not big. The main reason is that in the past, Li Mu has always given people a slick and sophisticated bureaucratic image, such a person, of course, anyone can use it, but no one dares to reuse it, after all, the people who are officials are realistic, they can't do things for you, and if they do things, who dares to use you?

But judging from the relationship these days, Li Mu is still capable, and at such a critical moment, he has the courage and responsibility, and he is really a trustworthy partner.

The most important thing is that Li Mu does not have an obvious faction, nor does he have any backers, so it seems that his past slippery is largely for self-preservation, otherwise, talented and capable people will definitely be co-opted by the major factions, if they are not willing to get on the thief ship and have no ability to do it alone, I am afraid that Li Mu is the only choice.

In other words, Liu Yu, who is in urgent need of talents, found that this Li Mu is really a talent that is very suitable for recruitment.

In any era, the most important thing is nothing else, always talent. What Liu Yu lacks most is talent.

Li Mu is naturally also a shrewd person, in fact, it was the signal he sent first, seeing that Liu Yu also responded, he hurriedly said: "Liu Shuai, Li Mude is thin and shallow, above this officialdom, there are many dangers, Li Mu has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, learning the art of martial arts, and he also wants to serve the country. ”

This is already **luǒ's declaration of sincerity, Liu Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and said: "Why did Lord Li say this!" Liu Yu was born in the bitter cold, and he knows that it is not easy for the common people to live, and if there is the help of Lord Li, he is really a favor of God! Liu Yu is willing to share weal and woe with adults, share joys and sorrows, and never say goodbye! ”

"I want it!" Li Mu nodded solemnly.

In this way, although Liu Yu was trapped in Shouchun City, he was also unexpectedly happy and got a capable assistant. It's just that although Li Mu's ability is strong, he relies on strength to fight, after all, Fu Rui also knows that his opportunity lies in the continuous attack, crushing Shouchun, and blocking the connection between the Beifu army in Shandong and the Huainan Jin army in one fell swoop, so that it is possible to win, otherwise, if he is under the fortified city, I am afraid there will be no good end.

The following day, almost the hardest, was the day from the rising of the morning sun until the moon appeared overhead in the evening, and the two sides ended the day's fighting, leaving more corpses on the battlefield, the moat had been filled, the walls were covered with blood, and many ladders were left behind.

The defenders also suffered heavy losses, and what was even more terrible was that they had no way to supply, and almost all the strong men in the city had been mobilized to the head of the city, and they had reached the point of drying up and fishing, and they could not hold out for long.

If reinforcements don't come again, Shouchun will be in danger.

Liu Yu leaned on the battlements, gasping for breath, he had almost never been so tired, several times today, the enemy had climbed to the top of the city, all relying on his desperate resistance, only to reluctantly drive the enemy down again. If you change to someone with a little worse martial arts and will, I'm afraid Shouchun will be lost.

Li Mu still looked relaxed, he smiled and said, "Liu Shuai, how long do you think we can last?" ”

Liu Yu glanced at Li Mu, Li Mu is a magistrate, and it stands to reason that he knows the situation better than himself, so he asked himself what he was doing at this time, but Liu Yu still said: "There is no problem for about three days." ”

"No, we can keep it for five days." Li Mu said firmly.

"Huh?"

"Liu Shuai, I actually have a thousand people on my hands." Li Mu said mysteriously.

"You! Why don't you take it out, how dangerous it is today, almost ......" Liu Yu was really angry at first, because today's battle situation is indeed very dangerous, and if you are not careful, the city may be lost, and no one will be able to escape. Li Mu's behavior is tantamount to preserving his strength, which of course makes people angry.

But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem right, because it's very simple, Li Mu has already expressed his intention to serve himself, and there is no reason to do this kind of thing. Liu Yu believes that Li Mu is a smart person and will not do such an unreliable thing.

Sure enough, Li Mu smiled and said: "Liu Shuai, I won't tell you, in troubled times, officials are also self-preservation, my power is limited, I can't form a large number of troops, these 1,000 people are tantamount to my private soldiers, these years, the outside said that I was corrupt and perverted the law, hehehe, there is no bending the law, but I didn't take less money, but I didn't put it in my pocket, but used it on these people, for these people, I paid them and bought property for them, the purpose is to make them my dead soldiers." ”

Liu Yu was slightly shocked in his heart, it seems that he underestimated this Master Li in the past.

Li Mu continued: "The city defense of Shouchun City, I know it in my heart, even if it is a hundred thousand army and two hundred thousand troops, three or five days, it can't be defeated, our problem is that we have too few people to withstand consumption, so Liu Shuai, with all due respect, we must resist it first, not that I Li Mu want to preserve my strength, but these 1,000 people, I want to keep the most dangerous, and take it out when Shouchun City is about to fall, so that it can play a role in turning the tide." If I take it out now, it will be nothing more than a loss. ”

Liu Yu secretly praised in his heart when he heard it, and he couldn't see that this Li Mu was really a soldier. I have to admit that Li Mu's idea is very reasonable, think about it, when his own side is extremely desperate, the other party is complacent, and everything is about to collapse, these 1,000 absolutely loyal dead soldiers can certainly play a great role in killing them.

Li Mu also said: "My lord, Li did this from the beginning, in fact, there is something inappropriate, so let's do it, the command of the 1,000 people will be handed over to you, after all, you are the commander, and you are more good at military affairs than Li." ”

"Nope." Liu Yu waved his hand firmly, and said: "The so-called suspicious people don't need to be used, the use of people is not suspicious, since it is your private soldier, then you are responsible, and when to attack, it is completely up to you to decide, I will not interfere." ”

"Liu Shuai."

"I've decided!" Liu Yu smiled: "Your idea is very good, I fully support it!" As you said, now that we are the people of the same boat, we must not let this ship sink, and we must hold Shouchun until the reinforcements arrive. ”

"Yes!"

At this moment, Liu Yu suddenly heard a "cooing" sound, his heart moved, knowing that it was a reply from the direction of Jiankang, he hurriedly took out a bamboo pipe from his arms and blew it gently, but saw that the pigeons in the sky rushed down like a burst of arrows.

Liu Yu quickly caught the pigeon, and then carefully checked it to make sure that it was still his own pigeon, and after checking the relevant seals and fire paint, he took out the letterbox with confidence.

During the whole process, Li Mu just looked at Liu Yu silently and did not speak.

But after Liu Yu read the letter, his expression became solemn. He silently released the dove, then looked up at the big, round moon.

After being silent for a while, he said, "Come, Lao Li, take a look." With that, Liu Yu gave the letter to Li Mu.

Judging from the title, you can see a lot of problems, obviously Liu Yu does not call Lord Li, but calls Lao Li, which means that there is an extra layer of trust.

And to hand over the secret letter of such a flying pigeon to Li Mu, it is also a great trust, Li Mu is grateful, and took a look, but found that there are only eight words on it: There is a change in the court, stick to it!

The meaning of this statement is very clear, the first half of the sentence is true, but the second half of the sentence is false.

The change in the court is really a change, which means that there is a political struggle in the court, and I am afraid that reinforcements will not be sent in a short time, so I hope that Liu Yu will stick to Shouchun. ~
