Chapter 372 - Three Old Foxes.

The four of them chatted in the hall for a long time, Li Yuan later ordered someone to prepare a banquet in the mansion, and planned to invite Li Zuoche to stay and have a drink.Unexpectedly, he was rejected by Li Zuoche on the grounds that he was in military affairs.

"Uncle, there's no need to be like this. To be honest with you, my nephew is really on military affairs when he comes back this time."

"Military affairs? Why are you here this time, can you tell Uncle a little bit?" Li Yuan asked with a smile on his face.

Li Shimin on the side heard it, smiled knowingly and secretly said: It seems that I guessed correctly, this guy is finally going to reveal his true intentions!

"Hey! This is natural. Uncle and the two brothers belong to our own family. Why not tell them? King Qi defeated Ju Ning earlier, and was ambushed and intercepted by the Chu army with heavy losses. Now he is retreating to Lu County. Come, I want to use my Li family's resources to help King Qi overcome this difficulty." Li Zuoche said meaningfully.

When Li Yuan heard this, he stroked his beard and said, "Left car, although my Li family is a big family in Langxie, we have limited food and grass. I'm afraid it won't be able to solve the urgent need of the king of Qi! Now, the Chu army is about to invade. The guard of a county is also expanding the size of the county soldiers, planning to resist in the end, if he fails, he will be benevolent!

Not only is there not enough food and grass, but even the weapons used by the county soldiers are scarce.Now many county soldiers don't even have a decent armor.So, this time I will let you down! "

When Li Zuoche heard this, he felt a little unhappy. He naturally knew what was going on in Li Yuan's mind, and on the way here, he had heard that Li Yuan's fourth son, Li Yuanba, had pulled out the Zhenyue Sword with his supernatural power, and Li Yuan wanted to recruit troops. In the name of Li Family Wu'an!

When he was at the gate just now, Li Zuoche had already seen the long queue that had come to sign up to join the army. Li Yuan didn't have enough food and grass, it was clear that the soldiers didn't have enough equipment. This was asking him for combat equipment in disguise!
Thinking of this, Li Zuoche's anger rose from his heart, but now he is in Pingyang, if he doesn't bring the food and grass back soon, I'm afraid that if Xiang Yu doesn't attack, the army's morale will rebel automatically. You can only agree to all the conditions proposed by this uncle, otherwise you will never get a grain of grain!
"Uncle, as the guard of a county, can survive and die with the city, which really convinces Zuo Che! But uncle must also understand that if the king of Qi in Lu County is defeated, he may be defeated by Langya Baili alone." It is impossible for the land to resist the Chu army who are like wolves and tigers?" Li Zuoche said with a smile.

The three of Li Yuan and his son naturally understood the meaning of Li Zuoche's words, and the three of them still knew the truth of the cold lips and teeth.But who is Li Yuan, how can he let Li Zuoche easily take his savings from his trouser pocket?
"Nephew is right, but uncle has made up his mind. Even if uncle is wearing common clothes and holding rotten wood, he will definitely live and die with Langya City!" Li Yuan said with a righteous look.

When Li Zuoche heard this, he couldn't help complaining in his heart. When Xiang Yu called in, I'm afraid you would be the first person to open the city gate to welcome people, right?Still living and dying with the city?
"Uncle has such a heart, which really admires my nephew. As a member of the Li family, my nephew should help my uncle! This time I brought everyone, and there are still a lot of weapons and armor, which can be handed over to It's better for my uncle to use it than when the Chu army approached the city, my uncle charged with rotten wood in his hand!

Don't worry, uncle, this batch of ordnance will be delivered to uncle early in the morning by my nephew.If there is something in the army, my nephew will leave first! "

After Li Zuoche cupped his hands and said, he turned his head and left, just as he was about to step out of the hall, Li Yuan stopped him.

"Left car, left car! You wait!"

"Oh? Uncle, what else is there?" Li Zuoche turned his head to look, and saw Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin coming forward behind Li Yuan.

Li Zuoche smiled knowingly when he saw the father and son who came forward, it seems that you three foxes can't sit still sometimes!hum!

"Left car! Since that's the case, uncle should express his gratitude to the king for his support! How about it! Uncle doesn't have much food, how about giving you a hundred thousand shi for the time being?"

As Li Yuan spoke, he felt a pain in his flesh. Although the Li family had great achievements, one hundred thousand shi of grain was not a small sum.

"Okay! Okay! Then my nephew is here to thank my uncle for your generosity! My nephew will take my leave first!" Li Zuoche wanted to leave, but was stopped by Li Yuan again.

"By the way, Uncle has another request, I hope you can pass it on to the king!"

"What request?"

"I hope Your Majesty can send some veterans of the army to help my uncle train the recruits I have recruited. I wonder if it is possible?"

Li Zuoche looked at Li Yuan's aggressiveness, and really wanted to punch him in the face, but he could only bear with it for the time being because he still needed this "good uncle".

"Okay! This is no problem. Early tomorrow morning, I will send 1000 people to stay in the county to help uncle train your troops! However, can uncle's food and grass..."

"Hahaha! That's no problem. My nephew can come to get food early tomorrow morning. My uncle will keep you busy tonight!"

"Then thank you uncle! Uncle and King Qi are grasshoppers on the same rope now!"

Li Zuoche said goodbye with a meaningful smile and left the courtyard.

Seeing Li Zuoche's retreating back, Li Yuan's teeth itched with hatred.

"Father! Why did you promise to give your cousin [-] shi of grain in one bite? That's the Li family's income for three months!" Li Jiancheng frowned.

"What can we do if we don't give it? Didn't you hear what he said? Now we and King Qi are grasshoppers on the same rope!
Besides, with the fighting power of those new recruits, can they go to the battlefield and fight desperately with the wolf-like Chu army?If Han Xin is finished, so is Langye!" Li Yuan yelled angrily, then flung his sleeves and left.

Seeing that Li Yuan was so angry, Li Jiancheng didn't dare to say anything, and strode away, leaving the thoughtful Li Shimin standing there alone.

Seeing his father and elder brother leave one after another, Li Shimin's mouth curled into a smile: "Hahaha, this time it's not a loss, I have to find a way to blackmail Li Zuoche again!"

…………

The endless plain has entered Lingxun's Shushui River. Three groups of troops are approaching Lu County from different directions, forming a situation surrounding Lu County.

To the southwest of Lu County, Xiang Yuzheng led 2 horses all the way to Lu County.

"Report! Report to Your Majesty, the distance ahead is only twenty miles from Lu County! Master Zhuge has sent a letter, and his leaders have already arrived at the city!"

"Well! Tell Kong Ming to set up camp five miles away from Lu County and make siege equipment!" Xiang Yu looked at the scouts and said.

"No!" The scout immediately got on his horse and went straight to the front camp.

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Where are Xu Maogong's troops now?!"

"My Majesty, Xu Junshi has arrived at Yishui, ten miles away from Lu County, and is being stopped by the Qi army across the river!"

"Okay! Since Qi Jun still dares to intercept him in the wild, then let me eat him! Send Gao Hu Hao Xiong and ask them to take their troops to Yishui, then go around and eat Qi Jun for me! "

"promise!"
