"General Yu, just now the defenders of Jiayuguan sent someone to snatch a crying baby under the city, and used artillery to stop our army from going." Just as Ket and Lu Tianxing were talking and laughing there, a guard came in, knelt on one knee and shouted loudly.

"Artillery was used!" Hearing this, Kete's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, he didn't expect that the Ming army defending the city would use artillery at this time, it seemed that he was a little uncomfortable, and the artillery of the Ming army had never sounded before this.

"The loyal prince is cunning, this is a demonstration to us!" A sneer appeared at the corner of Lu Tianxing's mouth, and he said to Kete, "Moreover, he is afraid that the cry of the baby will affect the morale of the soldiers defending the city." ”

"In that case, then let's toss him for no peace." Hearing this, Kerter's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said loudly to the guards kneeling there, "Pass on the general's military order, get some babies and let them cry day and night outside the gate!" ”

"General, I'm afraid the effect of this is not good, it can be described as killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred!" Without waiting for the guard to answer, Lu Tianxing had already spoken, "The cry of the baby can not only kill and hurt the morale of the Ming army defending the city, but also have a negative impact on the officers and soldiers of our army, there is no need for us to do such a thing." ”

"General Qiu is right." Kett nodded at this, then smiled and waved his hand to the guard to leave, even if there were no cries from those babies, they could capture Jiayuguan as planned.

"By the way, General Aqiu, the general has always been curious, I heard that you were also a general of the Ming Dynasty before, why do you hate the Ming so much?" Then, Kert remembered something and said with a smile, "If General Aqiu finds it inconvenient, then it should be that the general didn't ask." ”

"The father of this general was the prince of the Ming Dynasty, loyal to the Han King of the Ming Dynasty, because of the incompetence of the prince, so the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty originally passed the throne to the Han King, but a traitorous minister in the court changed the edict of the Yongle Emperor in order to seek personal gain, so that the prince ascended the throne, and the government fell into the hands of those traitorous ministers."

Lu Tianxing was slightly stunned when he heard this, his eyes showed a look of pain, no one asked about his past over the years, and then drank the wine in the wine glass in his hand, and put it heavily on the table, his body was filled with a strong killing intent, "In order to make the inheritance of the Ming Dynasty return to orthodoxy, the father of the general raised troops with loyal people to help the King of Han ascend the throne, but he didn't want to be defeated in the end, and ended up in a situation where his family was ruined, and he was going to avenge his family and kill all the enemies of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Obviously, Lu Tianxing did not tell the truth to Kete, and said that the rebellion of the Han King was a righteous act to make the Ming Dynasty return to orthodoxy.

In fact, Lu Tianxing was reluctant to mention this past, but his identity was no longer a secret in Daming after experiencing the last capital incident, so there was no need to hide it.

"As long as you attack the capital division of the Ming Dynasty, you can treat your enemies at will." Hearing this, Kete immediately understood, it turned out that Lu Tianxing's father was on the wrong side in the battle of the imperial court, and finally ended up with a sideshow, and then comforted with a smile.

"Go, accompany General Ah Qiu at night." As he spoke, Kete pushed a woman from the Western Regions who was trembling and pouring wine beside him to Lu Tianxing's side, "If General Ah Qiu is not satisfied with you, he will reward you to those soldiers in the barracks tomorrow." ”

"Little ...... The little woman must serve the general well. Hearing this, the woman from the Western Regions suddenly turned pale with fright, she didn't want to be a camp prostitute and be ravaged by those soldiers every day, so she replied tremblingly.

"General Aqiu, don't miss the beautiful scenery tonight." Seeing that the woman from the Western Regions was so frightened, Ket couldn't help laughing, and then pushed down a woman from the Western Regions next to him and pressed it under him, pulling her clothes while smiling lewdly and saying to Ah Qiu.

Seeing this, Ah Qiu's eyes couldn't help but flash a look of disgust, he had received a good education when he was a child, and he believed that his status was noble, no matter how cold-blooded and ruthless he was, he couldn't do such an ugly thing of making peace in public.

"Have a good night, General!" Then, he greeted Kete with a smile, hugged the woman from the Western Regions who was given to him by Kete, and got up to leave, and when he turned around, his face became extremely cold, if it wasn't for revenge, he wouldn't cooperate with these rude guys.

Although the battle at Jiayuguan was tragic, Qinglong City was not alarmed, and the surrounding Timurid Empire and the army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty did not mean to provoke Li Yuntian, which made the first Qinglong City Xiaoyao Card Contest go smoothly.

After layers of competition, the top three of the four urban districts of Qinglong City, East City, South City, West City and North City have been produced one after another.

Under the ardent anticipation of all the residents of Qinglong City, the finals of the first Qinglong City Xiaoyao Card Contest were held in one of the best restaurants in the city, it is worth mentioning that this restaurant is the industry of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, and the representatives of the people of the four urban districts of Qinglong City will go to the restaurant to witness the progress of the competition.

"Lord Wang, this is the top three list of the four urban districts." That afternoon, after Li Yuntian returned to his residence after inspecting the military camp, Lin Xin handed him a list with a smile, "After this incident, the Xiaoyao card will definitely rise in the Western Regions." ”

"I hope so." Li Yuntian smiled when he heard this, picked up the list and looked at it, which contained the names, ages and genders of the top three personnel.

Judging from the information on the list, the people who enter the top three are not only men and women, but also have a wide age distribution, the youngest is only 16 years old, and the oldest is close to the sixtieth year, which means that the Xiaoyao card has been well integrated into the lives of the people, suitable for the entertainment of the public in their leisure time.

"Yunna!" After glancing at the contents of the list, Li Yuntian's eyes fell on the name of the sixteen-year-old contestant, a girl who was only sixteen years old and entered the finals as the top three in the "Texas Hold'em" in the south of the city.

"Lord Wang, do you think the Beiyuan spies in the city will be fooled?" Seeing Li Yuntian looking at the list intently, Lin Xin asked with a smile, Li Yuntian's purpose in holding this Xiaoyao Card Contest was not only to entertain the residents, but also to fish out the Northern Yuan spies in the city.

The reason is very simple, the top three in the Qinglong City Easy Card Competition will not only get huge prizes and the opportunity to play against Li Yuntian in the finals, but also get the opportunity to accompany Li Yuntian to play the Easy card, after all, Li Yuntian also has a time to relax, and someone needs to accompany him to play cards for recreation, which is a huge honor.

For those spies in the Northern Yuan, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to contact Li Yuntian, so they will definitely take action, and those who can become spies are usually more intelligent than ordinary people, so Li Yuntian feels that those spies have a chance to win the game.

Even if the spies of the Northern Yuan can't win the competition, they should get a good ranking, so that the people from the Xiaowu Army Supervision Department can investigate and monitor them.

"This is their only chance to get close to this king, and they will definitely take it, but it is not clear what their luck is." Li Yuntian put the list in his hand on the table, stretched his waist and replied with a smile, what could be more attractive to him than those spies?

"By the way, what's the situation of Kansai Seven Guards lately?" Then, Li Yuntian remembered something, so he looked at Lin Xin.

There are two major unstable factors in Qinglong City, one is the spies of the Northern Yuan, and the other is the Guanxi Qiwei, Li Yuntian can be sure that the people of the Western Qiwei are definitely bought by the Timurid Empire or the Northern Yuan, so he wants to find out those who have been bought.

"The generals of the Kansai Seven Guards have been quite peaceful these days, except for often drinking and gathering to talk about the future situation in Qinglong City, they have not found any second thoughts." Lin Xin groaned for a moment when she heard this, and her expression gradually became serious, "However, my subordinates feel that the situation in the Seven Guards of Kansai is complicated and should not be taken lightly. ”

"The generals in the Kansai Seven Guards are now divided into three factions, one is the main battle faction headed by Hamiwei, and the other two are the surrender faction and the centrists."

Li Yuntian got up and walked to the window, looked at the grapevines in the courtyard outside the window, and said, "Our goal now is to find out the hidden surrender faction, and some of them must be secretly colluding with the enemy. ”

"Lord Wang, the other party is so deeply hidden, how can we find him?" Lin Xin's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and now she did not have the slightest evidence of collusion with the Guanxi Qiwei and the Northern Yuan spies, which made her and the Xiaowu Army Supervision Department unable to start.

"Looks like we're going to lure the snake out of the hole." Li Yuntian heard that the corners of his mouth showed a hint of imperceptible smile, since the other party was hiding so deeply, then he had to find a way to make his original form exposed.

"Lord Wang, there is news from the Duke of Zhongguo." At this moment, a guard walked into the room quickly, holding a small sealed bamboo tube in his hand, and bowed down and handed it to Li Yuntian.

Although the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty separated Qinglong City and Jiayuguan, Li Yuntian had already arranged carrier pigeons in the two places, so news could be transmitted through carrier pigeons.

"Damn!" There was a small paper roll in the small bamboo tube, and after reading the contents of the paper roll, Li Yuntian couldn't help but look pale and slammed his fist on the windowsill.

Zhou Zheng told Li Yuntian on a small scroll of paper that the generals of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty who were responsible for attacking Jiayuguan were simply frenzied, and they even captured the people in the Guanxi region one after another as cannon fodder and let them attack Jiayuguan with soil, wanting to pile up a gentle slope outside the city to attack the city.

If the current enemy army is fighting in this way, I am afraid that a large number of civilians will die under the walls of Jiayuguan, and the gentle slope will eventually be cushioned.

"Lord Wang, they actually did such a thing that is inferior to beasts!" Lin Xin was also shocked after reading the contents of the small paper scroll, it seemed that the besieging generals had done everything they could to win.

"I hope my father-in-law can withstand their onslaught." Li Yuntian sighed when he heard this, looked at the vines and said in a deep voice, what happened in Jiayuguan was not a war, but a massacre.

Lin Xin suddenly fell silent when she heard this, she knew that for famous generals like Li Yuntian and Zhou Zheng, the last thing she wanted to encounter was this kind of war like a massacre, to kill those civilians who were powerless to fight back.
