Chapter 274: Picking Dust

(Thank you for the monthly pass of the Yanlong Heaven Destroying Book Friend.) Originally, it looked like there were already 43 votes, and if there were two more votes, a chapter would be added, but who knew that no one voted in Lu Dao, and he was depressed, so he didn't add a change today. )

Li Lingfu tossed and turned, and stayed awake all night. Early the next morning, he gathered his three sons, Li Meng, and several henchmen of the Crane Cavalry.

"Since the daughter of the Wang family is already in Shamen Town, no matter what the reason is and what the result is, in short, I have decided not to marry the daughter of the Wang family again, and Li Jing will leave her behind." After a pause, he said again: "But the second sister has been sent to Duli Town, and the daughter who married Lu went spilled the water and did not take it back." Doesn't Wang Pu have a fourteen-year-old second daughter, then let Wang Pu marry the second daughter to Juren. The dowry and dowry promised by Wang Pu before were also indispensable. ”

"Juyi, you personally go to Wuhu Island, meet Ji Yu, and ask him not to stop withdrawing troops for the time being. Let him send troops to create a momentum for us, and force the town of Duli not only to send people and money, but also to pay the indemnity owed to us immediately. ”

The next day, Li Lingfu sent a greeter to Duli Town, and on the other hand, he sent his second son Ju Yiqin to Wuhu Island to meet Li Jing.

Li Jing was preparing to return to Shamen Island on Wuhu Island, and he couldn't help but be very surprised when he heard what Li Juyi had said. replied: "I really didn't know about Wang Haojun's matter in advance, but now it seems that this is Wang Pu's plan to divide our two families." You don't have to worry, since the town of Duli has not yet paid the indemnity to Qingnipu, then I will gather the soldiers and horses back to cheer you on. ”

Immediately, Li Jing issued several orders in succession, and once again summoned all the troops to assemble in Wuhu Islands. After the capture of Da Xie Qi. There has been no movement on the Dengzhou side. Li Jing is also in charge of Da Xie Qi as the deputy envoy of Da Xie Qi. And the soldiers and horses have been readjusted. Megan's Zhenhai Camp is stationed in the Wuhu Islands, and Yellowbeard's Nutao Camp is stationed in the Taodao Islands. Lin Wei's Black Bear Battalion continued to be stationed outside the Great Black Mountain Island, and newly included the Little Black Mountain Fort and more than ten surrounding islands under its jurisdiction. The original Blue Wolf Battalion of Wang Wu on Xiaoshan Island was moved to Da Xie Nan Island. Beidao was transferred from Lin Wu's Iron Gun Battalion to the defense, and Li Jingzi led the Tiebi Battalion, the Flying Eagle Battalion, the Logistics and Baggage Battalions to continue to garrison Shamen Island.

After the order was handed down, half of the men of each battalion were sent to the Wuhu Islands.

Li Jing was assembling troops and horses with great fanfare, and Li Lingfu's other envoy also arrived in Duli Town.

After Wang Pu heard Li Lingfu's request relayed by the envoy, he laughed.

"When did I agree to Li Lingfu's request for marriage? It's ridiculous. Now no one knows that the little girl has married General Li Jing of Shamen Town, and the dowry has been sent. Li Lingfu is also the lord of a city, why did he come up with such an inferior way to slander people? Thousands of war horses, 10,000 cattle and sheep, this is the little daughter I sent to General Li Jing to marry, Li Lingfu and my Duli Town are feuds, even if this truce, it is impossible for me to marry my daughter to his Li family. Obviously, he sent his daughter to me, and I didn't ask for his dowry, so he was embarrassed to ask for a dowry of 200,000 yuan. It's just a daughter, and it's really a treasure daughter of a heavenly fragrance and a country. ”

Wang Pu completely denied what he had promised to the Li family. On the contrary, it was Li Lingfu who coveted his money. After ridiculing the envoy and Li Lingfu for a while, Wang Pu said: "You came just in time, tonight the city lord officially accepted Li Lingfu's daughter on the day of entry, although it is just a concubine, but since you are the daughter of the city lord Li, even if it is a concubine, the city lord has to do things more grandly, you can just come and drink a few glasses of wine." ”

The envoy was taken aback, the second sister sent it but said that she was married to Wang Pu's twelve-year-old son, why did she become a concubine for Wang Pu now?

"What are you doing, my son is not just twelve, how can he marry. What's more, even if my son marries, how can he welcome Li Lingfu's concubine's daughter as a wife, you people in Qingnipu are too whimsical. ”

"Wang Pu, don't deceive people too much. The city lord of my family and General Li Jing of Shamen Town are already mobilizing troops and horses, aren't you afraid? ”

Wang Pu chuckled mockingly: "Why should I be afraid, Li Lingfu has been a neighbor with me for so many years, have I ever been afraid of him?" As for General Li Jing, he just married my daughter, and he is now a family with our Duli Town. The son-in-law sent troops to fight the old man, and you are too good at joking. ”

That night, in the palace of the city lord of Wang Pu in Duli Town, a banquet was held, and many guests were invited to witness Wang Pu's acceptance of Li Lingfu's daughter as a concubine. Everyone has heard that Li Lingfu's daughter was originally sent to Wang Pu's son as a wife, but now, the daughter-in-law has been accepted as a concubine by her father-in-law.

This is simply a big joke, of course, this joke is not laughing at Wang Pu, but laughing at Li Lingfu, after all, this is a huge insult.

The envoy of Qingnipu was forced to participate in this banquet, and the next morning he also saw the second lady who had been broken by Wang Pu, and saw the second lady with tears on her face and her swollen eyes crying, the messenger gritted her teeth, and after scolding in front of Wang Pu's house, she hurriedly returned to Qingnipu.

The messenger hurried back to Qingnipu and explained everything as it was. After listening to this, Li Lingfu couldn't believe his ears. Hearing that the daughter Ben sent to Wang Pu's son as a wife was actually forcibly accepted as a concubine by Wang Pu himself, he repeatedly denied that he had promised to marry his daughter to the Li family.

"Shameless puppet, deceive me too much!" Li Lingfu couldn't fall in one breath and almost fainted.

Finally, everyone helped and pushed to take it back, and as soon as he remembered that Wang Pu had bullied him so much, Li Lingfu was already angry. "Such a great enmity, I and Wang Pu do not share the sky. Immediately gather the generals and gather all the soldiers and horses, I will lead the army to kill Duli Town immediately and fight Wang Pu to the death. ”

"Don't be impulsive!" Although Li Meng was also angry, he still kept some sobriety in his heart. "Zhongmou must not be impulsive, the more this is the case now, the more cautious we must be. Although we have just won a victory over Duli Town, at present, 20,000 or 30,000 people in Beisha City are still stationed in the north of our Qingnipu and have not retreated. At this time, if we go to Duli Town with all our troops and horses, not to mention the high walls of Duli Town, it will be difficult to capture Duli Town. Even the soldiers and horses of Beisha City may raid our city at any time. ”

"Uncle Meng. So insulting. Do you want me to endure it, is it bearable, or is it unbearable? Now, I, Li Lingfu, have become the laughing stock of the whole world. ”

Li Meng frowned and pondered for a moment, "It's not impossible to take revenge, but it's not enough for us to be alone. I mean, first contact Li Jing and ask him to send troops to help us with all his might. Other than that. We will now send people to negotiate peace with Beisha City, and find a way to return the soldiers and horses of Beisha City first. And then. Without worries, we can send troops to deal with Duli Town. ”

"In any case, this justice must be taken back. I will ask him to repay the insult that Wang Pujia has given us. If Wang Pu falls into my hands, all the women of his clan, from seventy old women to seven-year-old girls, I will put them all into a brothel and be a bitch until death for the rest of their lives. Li Lingfu said hatefully.

Next. Li Lingfu sent someone to select 3,000 good war horses and let his second son Li Juren send them to Wuhu Island. A thousand horses as a gift to ask Li Jing to send troops to take revenge. The remaining 2,000 war horses were to buy 1,000 altars of divine fire from Li Jing. After only one day, Li Jing was very surprised by Li Juyi's coming again.

"Major General, the general has already ordered more than half of the soldiers and horses to be assembled. However, it is estimated that it will take two or three days to assemble in a hurry. ”

As soon as Li Juyi saw Li Jing, he immediately knelt in front of Li Jing and shouted: "My nephew came here this time to ask my uncle to save me Qingnipu!" ”

"Something happened, get up and talk slowly." Li Jing was shocked by his move.

"Uncle doesn't know, Wang Pu's dog thief deceived my Li family too much, he first married his daughter and a daughter, and allowed my family first, but then sent people to my uncle, obviously to separate the relationship between our two families. And now, my second sister said that the two families would marry before, so she sent it directly first. Originally, it was better to wait for a few years for his son to grow up and then get married. But who would have thought that the old thief actually took my second sister as his own concubine yesterday. This is a great disgrace. My father fainted several times, and now he is about to gather his troops and horses to kill the town of Duli to seek justice. However, the town of Duli is strong, and the Qingnipu family is in difficulty, so my father specially asked his nephew to come and ask my uncle to send troops to support and attack Duli Town together. ”

After hearing this, Li Jing felt a headache. What is Wang Pu going to do, while he paid off his compensation and sent a daughter. On the other hand, Li Lingfu's bottom limit is being challenged everywhere.

To be honest, Li Jing really doesn't want to start a war with Duli Town now. The strength of Duli Town, if he defends it to the death, even if he pulls out all the soldiers, plus Qingnipu's, at most 350,000 people, to fight a land with a population of more than 100,000, it will be difficult to take it in a year or two. And Li Jing didn't have so much time at all, and he didn't dare to pull all the soldiers and horses to Duli Town, his hometown was not stable.

But now that Li Lingfu is about to go crazy with anger, can he say no at this time. If he refuses to send troops, Li Lingfu will definitely think that he has secretly formed an alliance with Duli Town, and the alliance they have built up with great difficulty will be difficult to maintain. And more importantly, if Li Lingfu insists on sending troops, and is defeated by Duli Town and suffers heavy losses, then the delicate balance and peaceful situation in Liaohai will be broken.

Li Jing decided to go to Qingnicheng in person, seriously explain the current situation to Li Lingfu, and persuade him to tolerate it for the time being and not to send troops impulsively. With a few boats and five hundred silver spear guards, Li Jing followed Li Juyi and immediately rushed to Qingnipu. As soon as he arrived at Qingnipu, Li Lingfu tied a white cloth belt on his forehead and personally greeted him on the pier.

Access to the castle lord, please take a seat.

As soon as Li Jing sat down, he immediately said: "Prince Juyi has explained everything to me, and Wang Pu did this matter, and people and gods are indeed angry. If it were me, I would have sent troops to fight immediately. However, Brother Zhongmou, I know that you are a hero in the first life, and I believe you should also be able to see that this is a trap of Wang Pu at all. With our current strength, we are more than capable of defending ourselves, but taking the initiative to attack Duli Town is by no means a feasible option. ”

Li Lingfu said: "Today, only Brother Ji Yu is the only one who is allied with me as a brother and brother. If Ji Yu is still willing to call me brother, then don't say anything else. I only want to ask you, are you willing or unwilling to send troops to help me and crusade against Wang Pu's old thief? ”

Li Jing was embarrassed, silent, and drank five or six glasses of wine in succession.

He knew that Dao was a difficult choice at the moment, as long as he said not a word, he was afraid that his alliance with Li Lingfu would end here. But if he knew that he couldn't do anything, but he still had to take thousands of brothers to attack Duli Town, Li Jing couldn't make such a decision. If Li Lingfu asks for money or ordnance, he can take it out without hesitation to support him. But now, he is not alone, with thousands of brothers under him, and tens of thousands of family members behind him. One person is involved in tens of millions of families, how can Li Jing ignore others for the sake of friends?

In a dilemma!

Li Lingfu sat on the side, expecting at first, and then gradually showing a disappointed look.

He got up suddenly, with a dark and calm face: "I already know what General Li Jing means, your idea is right, how can I take the future of thousands of brothers with my Li Lingfu's personal grievances." Sorry, I was demanding. General Li Jing, please come back, I won't ask you to send troops to help me again. This time no matter what, even if you don't help me, I'll do it myself. Someone, send off! ”

Looking at Li Lingfu's appearance, Li Jing knew that he had done what he said, and it was estimated that he would not send troops, and he might also attack Duli Town. After thinking about it, Li Jing smiled bitterly, "Brother Zhongmou, stay here!" ”

"It's not that I don't want to send troops, I'm just wondering if there's a better plan. Duli Town is not simple, even if the two of us join forces to attack, it is unpredictable. I think we should be cautious, don't be too anxious, let's make a detailed plan first. ”

"You're willing to send troops to help me!" Li Lingfu turned around sharply and said with surprise on his face.

Li Jing smiled bitterly: "Brother of the blood alliance, how can I forget the alliance." But say in advance, we'll join forces, but you'll have to listen to my arrangement. Brother Zhong Mou is now in the game, and his mind is confused, and some things are not clear to him. ”

"Yes, as long as you are willing to send troops to help me, then this battle will be under your command."

"Well, things come step by step, don't be in a hurry. You gather the soldiers and horses first, and prepare to send troops, and I will also gather the soldiers and horses first. In addition, if you want to attack Duli Town, it is best to win over some more allies, you try to win over your allies in Liaodong to attract some of our crusading troops to join us, and I will also find a way to see if I can pull some troops and horses from Dengzhou to help. In addition, before sending troops, we have to retreat the soldiers of Beisha City first."

Li Lingfu interrupted Li Jing's words: "Okay, what you say to do, then do it, I will agree to it all." You don't have to discuss with me, just tell me. In this battle, you are the boss, sitting in the center. I'm the vanguard, and I'm in charge of the charge. With your resourcefulness and my bravery, I don't believe that Wang Pu can't destroy the thief. In addition, as the old saying goes, as long as the town of Duli is conquered, everything else belongs to you except the territory, money, food, property, population, etc., all are yours. ”

"Okay, then I'll go back to Wuhu Island to prepare first, remember, you must not be impulsive, you must not send troops alone first, you must wait for me to gather troops and horses together." Li Jing warned with some unease. (To be continued......)
