Chapter 2289： The worries of the lord

"What happened outside? Why is it so noisy?" At this time, Li Yuangu, who was already sleeping in the city lord's mansion, was suddenly awakened by the noise outside.

After waking up, Li Yuangu's first reaction was to frown.

It has been several days since Li Yuangu arrived in this border city. After he came, he discovered that he had various discomforts.

When he was young, Li Yuangu also served in the army. It can be said that he grew up in the army. However, his luck is better. The area where he is stationed is in the Dalu dynasty. Usually, he only needs to train more and fight bandits. , Really hadn't personally been on the battlefield to fight against Feng Jueguo, so he had never been stationed in such a harsh environment.

The environment in Feng Jueguo is very bad, very harsh, and very unsuitable for planting. This is also one of the reasons why they often lack food and they continue to attack the Dalu Dynasty. Of course, because of the harsh environment, people there are even more He is brave and fierce, very belligerent, and in terms of personal combat effectiveness, he is much stronger than that of the Da Lu Dynasty.

And this border city is next to the country, so the environment cannot be any better. Li Yuangu has never been stationed in such a place before. In addition, he has been transferred to the imperial capital for many years, although he has only been promoted to the Shangshu of the Ministry of War. For several years, however, he had always served as a high-ranking official in the imperial capital. Therefore, he has become accustomed to the drunken and relaxed life of the imperial capital. Now, he suddenly came to a place with such poor conditions. I’m not used to it. It’s not good to look at anything. In addition, the pressure brought by Feng Jueguo is not small. Therefore, he has been under great pressure recently, and his mood has been very bad. He hasn’t rested for a few days now. He finally fell asleep and was awakened by the noise outside. He was naturally very unhappy.

At this time, messy footsteps also sounded outside. Obviously, someone was running here. Because Li Yuangu was already in bed, the soldiers outside would not be able to break into his bedroom, so they just made loud noises outside the door. Shouted.

"Master Shangshu, it's not good, people from the country are calling! The generals are in the yamen, waiting for the adults to support the overall situation."

"What? People from Feng Jueguo are calling?" Hearing the voice outside, Li Yuangu, who was still a little confused, suddenly came to his senses, and sat up all of a sudden, with a shocked expression on his face.

Although it has been several days since I have been here, I also know that Feng Jueguo’s people have been increasing their forces and may attack the city at any time. Li Yuangu came here for this, but when I really hear Feng Jue Li Yuangu was still shocked when the people from the country called, and this was what many people thought.

After all, the Great Lu dynasty has fought against the wind and the country for many years. It loses more and wins less and often loses. Once defeated, there is a risk of death on the battlefield. Therefore, the people of the Great Lu dynasty, especially the soldiers and civilians living on the border We are a little afraid of Feng Jueguo in my heart. This has been cultivated for many years, and I have already been timid before fighting.

And Li Yuangu had also heard a lot of news about Feng Jueguo people before. As a military official, he is naturally aware of all kinds of military affairs in peacetime. Therefore, he knows the Da Lu Dynasty better than anyone. The army, the situation when faced with an army that is extremely windy.

However, in the past, Li Yuangu’s understanding of the strength of Feng Jueguo’s army remained on paper. Therefore, although he also knew that Feng Jueguo’s people were very strong, they were better than those who lived here. Soldiers and civilians, be optimistic, at least not so timid, if he is really scared, he will not come to the front.

What's more, he came here this time, but he made preparations. Not only did he personally bring 50,000 elite troops from the imperial capital, but he also drew a lot of teams in the surrounding towns. At this time, in this city. Here, nearly 300,000 troops have been gathered. These troops are where Li Yuangu's confidence lies, and it is also an important reason why he dares to come here in person.

And Li Yuangu also understood in his heart what impact this battle will have, but many people are watching it. The result of this battle will directly affect the negotiation between the Dalu Dynasty and Feng Jueguo, although they Even if they win this game, it does not mean that their Dalu dynasty now has the strength to destroy Feng Jue country, but if they can win, they will at least give them a great advantage in their negotiations.

Therefore, many people, including His Majesty, are staring here at this time, expecting Li Yuangu to bring a big victory, and because this battle is highly valued, Li Yuangu can also think that once If he wins, then, waiting for him will be countless glory and wealth, and his position in the court will be even higher. Not only can he consolidate his authority in the army, but also can be in the court. , Surpass that Wu Yan, and become a real existence under one person and above ten thousand people.

And that's what Li Yuangu always wanted.

So, thinking of this, after Li Yuangu experienced the initial shock, he immediately became excited, he shouted: "It's just right to come, this time I want to personally learn about these outstanding people, and see them. Does it really have three heads and six arms? It's really unkillable!"

While talking, they were asked to change his clothes. After a short while, they walked out of the bedroom neatly, watching the number of people coming outside the door, and said, "Go, go to the Yamen!"

This city has a city lord, and naturally it is also a Yamen, but after Li Yuangu came, he moved into the city lord’s mansion, and the Yamen became a place for everyone to discuss matters.

At this time, the yamen that had been turned off were already brightly lit. Before Li Yuangu, the city’s defending general Liu Feng, city lord Wu Dayu and others had already arrived. Seeing Li Yuangu’s arrival, everyone stood up and saluted. At least on the surface, everyone still respects Li Yuangu.

"All here? Sit down." Li Yuangu sat down in the upper position, and then motioned to everyone else to take their seats.

At this time, here, you can clearly hear the shouting and killing outside the city. After all, the two sides add up, but there are hundreds of thousands of people, and the sum of those sounds is absolutely deafening.

"Tell me what's going on outside now." Li Yuangu asked. When he asked, he looked at the defender Liu Feng here. In terms of military affairs, among the people present, except for Li Yuangu, who had the highest status. This belongs to Liu Feng. Such questions are naturally to be asked to him, and he was originally the general defending the city here. Before Li Yuangu came, he was in charge of the military here.

Then Liu Feng stood up, arched his hand at Li Yuangu, and said, "Master Shangshu, just now, the wind and the country’s army outside the city suddenly attacked us, although we didn’t expect them to attack at night. However, the previous preparations were still sufficient, so the personnel were in place in time and the situation has been stabilized. At present, the two sides are fighting fiercely. The people from the country are coming fiercely. Because of the darkness, we still The exact number of them is not clear, but it is estimated to be around 150,000, which is almost the total number of troops in their country. However, the Feng Jueguo people are good at field combat. After all, their riding and shooting skills are far superior. We, in terms of siege, are not very good at siege, and siege equipment is not too sharp, so for now, we want to defend the city, there is no problem."

Liu Feng has been dealing with the people of Feng Jueguo for a long time. He has been stationed here for several years. He has fought a lot with people of Feng Jueguo, large and small, so the situation of Feng Jueguo is still well understood.

"General Liu, don't be careless, the people of Feng Jueguo must also know that they are not good at attacking cities. However, they choose to attack cities at this time. They must be dependent on them and cannot be careless." City Lord Wu Dayu reminded.

"City Lord Wu is worrying too much." Liu Feng said indifferently: "The talents of Feng Jueguo are those. We are not as good as them when fighting in the wild, but we are not afraid of this siege. They can What next move?"

"But..." Then Wu Dayu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Yuangu above.

"City Lord Wu shouldn’t worry about the world." Li Yuangu said: "If we fight in the wild, we are indeed a little weaker than those who are extremely windy, but now there are walls to defend, and our strength is no less than them. With all kinds of defensive equipment, don’t worry, the barbarians who grew up on horseback will not attack the city at all. This time, they must be anxious because of the peace talks on the imperial capital, so they chose to attack. From the city, it's just that we can take advantage of this opportunity to kill them well and let them know that our Dalu dynasty is not easy to provoke!"

Li Yuangu was talking about high spirits. Originally, he was a little bit nervous, but now the people who were absolutely windy had chosen to attack the city. Then he was relieved that most of them were good at riding. Shooting, but is not good at siege, so there is no need to worry at all.

In the past, the people of Feng Jueguo would not choose to attack the city hard. After entering the pass, they carried out looting, and then robbed food, resources, and even population. However, they encountered the Dalu dynasty in the game. The army, they will attack. Once the army of the Lu Dynasty enters the city, they will give up. After all, they come here mainly to grab various resources, not to occupy the city, so naturally. They don’t want to attack cities. Therefore, in the past, the army of the Great Lu Dynasty always loses more and loses less. However, when they win so many times, they use the city’s fortifications to repel the most windy people. Therefore, many people are Knowing that the people of the country are not good at attacking cities.
