Chapter 485: Men must endure!

But they all underestimated Qin Li's courage. He only heard him sneer and swept the porcelain bowl on the table to the ground.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of breaking, the camp tent broke from all sides, and countless crossbowmen of the Longxiong Army rushed in and surrounded a group of Li generals... Although the crossbow arrows did not have the tips, they could cause great damage within such a close distance with the impact force alone.

As expected, no matter how high the skill is, he is afraid of kitchen knives. The fierce men in the old Li family are no longer arrogant and obediently throw the wooden sword to the ground.

Scandalingly at these bastards, Qin Li said word by word: "If you drag it down, each person will be responsible for fifty military sticks." The guards dragged a few people out like wolves and tigers. Seeing that he was going to be serious, the general of the Li family became anxious and said repeatedly: "Your Highness, we are relatives. If you don't look at the monks and Buddha's face, you have to take care of the old lieutenant's face..."

Qin Li said with a blank expression: "Secretly thankful. If you are on the battlefield, you will all be dead." Those people were soldiers, but when they saw him tearing his face, they immediately cursed and said everything. Qin Lei waved his hand impatiently and asked the guards to drag the person down to execute: "Another noisy sentence add ten military sticks, and you won't be beaten to death!"

Outside the camp, there was a sound of wooden sticks hitting the board with meat. The Li family was tough and no one screamed in pain. I don’t know if they were afraid of being added to the board.

The guards packed up the tent so that the prince could talk to the two generals.

Qin Li lowered his head and stared at the map on the table, pursing his lips tightly. Che Yinguo and Luo Yun looked at each other and said carefully: "Prince, those reckless men should be beaten, but they can also reflect some of the situation..."

Luo Yun sighed and continued: "According to the battle report this morning, the number of people killed in our army has reached more than 900, while the other side has less than 100." This is to save face for Qin Li. In fact, Jingshan Army only 'dead' forty-seven people. "Seven days have passed in the blink of an eye. If this continues, it will be difficult for the Taiwei to explain."

Qin Li still didn't say anything, but his lips were pursed tighter.

The two generals waited for a while, but there was no movement from him. Luo Yun had to bite the bullet and persuade him again: "Since our army has lost the conditions for taking the initiative, do you think we should consider taking the initiative?"

After a while of silence, Qin Li closed his eyes and said slowly: "Let me consider it...you can go down first..."

"Please think twice, Your Highness!" The two generals bowed helplessly and retreated.

Qin Li was left in the huge tent. He was deeply trapped in conflict. He could clearly hear the words of the two generals just now, and admitted that they were all truth and could not refute them at all... If the troops continued to stay like this, they would lose the military exercise... For the officers and soldiers, this was a military exercise that only concerns honor. If they win, they would be the soldiers and the officials would do whatever they wanted, and there would be no change at all. But for him, this was a competition that puts their dreams on their dreams. Only by winning could they realize the dream of commanding the three armies and fighting against Zhao Wujiu!

Otherwise, in Zhao Wujiu's eyes, Qin Yuli will always be just an insignificant supporting role...

Everything told him that he could not continue like this. However, as an outstanding general, his intuition and understanding of Qin Lei told him that although this fifth brother valued the victory of this competition, he valued the way of victory more.

If Qin Lei used the rules to break the rules and finally won the victory of this competition by annihilated hundreds of people... In that case, although no one denies their victory, it will also gain the reputation of "victory without force". This kind of notoriety will definitely be a big blow to the cohesion, self-confidence and even combat effectiveness of a new army.

Qin Li knew that Qin Lei was a very clear-headed guy and a good general, so he would not be willing to win this rule... After all, this is just a military exercise, and it is better to win than to win without martial arts. Anyway, the Imperial Marshal didn't have the turn to Qin Yutianran to attack.

"What he wants must be a veritable victory!" Looking down at the map on the table, Qin Li said to himself with confidence: "Then the purpose he has done these days is very obvious... It's just 'lead the snake out of the hole'!" It turns out that he was a brother, and he actually guessed Qin Lei's first-stage combat goal word by word.

But guessing the opponent's goal made Qin Li's expression even more severe. Since he first stepped onto the Eastern battlefield at the age of seventeen, he has learned a bloody lesson from repeated frictions... No matter how beautiful it looks, don't do what the opponent wants you to do, otherwise that is the first step to no return.

He firmly believed that Qin Lei had designed a chain of traps. As soon as he moved, he would fall into the dilemma of being plotted, and he would likely fall deeper and deeper, until he lost a big loss. He had this confidence in his fifth brother.

The more he thought about it, the more Qin Li felt that he should respond to all changes with the same tide. Even if he really wanted to go out, he would have to spend a few more days and he would not leave too much time to perform his conspiracy.

Finally he decided: ‘Wait a little longer!’

"What did they do?" In the large tent of the observation group two hundred miles away, the old marquis roared with his hair and beard, his eyes were like copper bells, and he wanted to eat people: "Even if my Li Sanjun's troops lose, I can't die so cowardly!"

The officers in the tent were silent, and none of them dared to look up. Since three days ago, the observation group had already known the situation of the Mati Mountain battlefield. Then the movements of both sides, the number of casualties and other information gathered here continuously. Through the restoration of experienced officers, the entire battlefield situation was vividly displayed in front of the two big figures.

I heard that his army surrounded Mati Mountain and bullied the Grand Marshal without any temper, but it made His Majesty the Emperor laugh. In fact, he was worried at first because three troops did not leave as planned as soon as they came up. But I didn't expect that this situation would happen, which was so... in line with His Majesty's aesthetic view.

Therefore, Emperor Zhaowu came to the big tent more and more times every day... For nothing else, it would be very pleasant to just ridicule the old lieutenant.

Now, His Majesty the Emperor just finished his feelings and stood up and went for lunch: "Oh, I don't know why, I have a great appetite recently."

As the saying goes, several families were happy and some were sad. The old marquis suddenly turned his nose awkward and cursed: "Damn, I can't eat recently!" Waiting for Emperor Zhaowu to leave, there was a scene that happened before.

After returning to his residence, Li Hun still cursed and kept talking.

After he had scolded him in filthy words, Li Qing dared to whisper: "Brother, you have to take care of it. Your Highness is trying to ruin the reputation of our old Li family..."

Li Hun shook his head and said, "No, Qin Li is a child I have grown up, I have feelings and righteousness, and I have clear right and wrong, and I will not repay kindness with grudges."

"Oh, brother, you are a wise man and you will have a mistake. Don't forget that he has a surname Qin after all!" Li Qing said in a small manner: "As the saying goes, 'If you are not a race, your heart will be different'. People with foreign surnames are unreliable at critical moments."

"Nonsense," Li Hun waved his hand irritably and glared: "He is my grandson, how can he be considered an outsider?"

"Who is the emperor? His dear father." Li Qing said with a look of 'I am a smart person': "Do you think it's your father's kiss, or your grandfather's kiss?"

"...it should be grandpa." Li Hun's snow-white eyebrows frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "After all, he and the emperor have long been in power. It was me who gave him status and hope. This child should be able to distinguish it from him."

"It's time and time," Li Qing never spoke quickly when he did good things in his life. But at this time, he was even more coincidental than a bird... Just like when he framed Huangfu Zhanwen and the other two eight years ago, he heard him say with a deep face: "Brother, you are too honest and trust others too much, which made the kid fool him."

"How do you say this?" Li Qing was nagging, and Li Hun began to feel a little different.

"You think, what did the emperor ask the prince to go south later last year?" Li Qing said mysteriously: "Thousands of years have you seen any emperor who sent the prince to the enemy country in a good manner? That's obviously a good comparison!"

"How to say it?"

"If the meat bun is beaten by a dog, you will never return!" When he was excited, Li Qing even made a joke: "If it weren't for the disaster of Qin Yutian, don't expect our prince to come back with all his strength." After saying that, he said a heart-breaking statement: "Why is the emperor doing this?"

Li Hun's expression suddenly looked ugly and he said roughly: "Is it arguing the throne to Qin Li?"

"Brother is wise, and he really hit the nail on the head." Li Qing praised: "From this point, it is not difficult for us to infer that the father and son turned against each other back then was a designed rape drama to show you."

Under Li Qing's unremitting deception, Li Hun finally began to doubt, but although the foundation of trust was shaken, the emotional castle built by more than ten years of storm would not collapse instantly. After pondering for a while, the old marquis slowly said: "What you said is somewhat reasonable, but I still have to verify it... at least you have to confront him in person. You can't just judge that he is really bad-minded based on your one-sided words."

"You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must be guarded against others, brother!" Li Qing suppressed the disappointment in his heart and continued to bewitch him with a clever intent: "How can we give this important command power to a suspect?" Then he finally found out and expressed his true intention of raping: "Brother, don't you have a chance to replace the commander in the middle? No need now, when will you wait?"

When Li Hun heard the 'oh', he looked up and down at this incompetent brother, and suddenly said, "So you are talking long and furious, just for this?" He said, "Do you want to replace him?" Although Li Hun seems to be a standard old man, he is actually a grown-up spirit and will never be confused when he dies. With Li Qing like this, he also wants to use him as a gun, so it is better to save energy and go home to cultivate the next generation... If he is still alive.

Seeing that Li Qing had made up his mind, he felt cold sweat profusely and said with a pale face, "I'm wronged, brother, I'm all for the Li family, and I didn't consider any personal gains and losses at all."

With a smile without comment, Li Hun said in a deep voice: "Actually, what you said is not unreasonable, but the military exercise has begun. It is not auspicious to change the coach at the last battle. I will not consider replacing people."

Li Qing was disappointed, but he no longer dared to make noise in front of Zhengliangweiwei's elder brother.

He picked up the brush and wrote a series of orders, stamped it with a private seal. Li Hun handed it to Li Qing and said, "You can go secretly, urge him, tell him I am very sad, let him do it yourself." Li Qing took the letter and looked at it, and immediately said with great energy: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely pass it on." After that, he bowed and left the tent.

As soon as he left the camp gate, Li Qing smiled and had no fat on his body, and he was obviously very proud.

Why is he so happy? Because the letter paper is actually a temporary letter of appointment: "I will appoint Li Qing, the Minister of War and the Commander of the Tiance Army, as our military supervisor, assist in military affairs and inspect the generals, so that the generals can work together to strive for the final victory. Li Hun, on the third day of the 19th year.'

There are several flowers blooming, each with one branch.

Since Qin Li made up his mind to defend himself, he ordered the team to shrink the formation. Even the scouts were only released three miles away. Whenever there was any movement, they would shrink back to the camp. No matter how fast the Jingshan Army was, they could no longer catch a single hair from the Taiwei Army. Moreover, since the targeted rotation of the time, the Taiwei Army was no longer afraid of night attacks. Now he was helpless and became Qin Lei's side.

The two sides entered a stalemate.

Seeing that his elder brother was determined to eat the weight, Qin Lei hidden in the mountain valley was in great flames. As the eldest prince expected, the fifth prince, who had lofty ambitions, had a goal of a happy victory, at least it would be a convincing victory. If he leaned on this, even if he won, what was the significance of the Jingshan Army?

He looked at the camp of the Taiwei Army every day, hoping to see some long-awaited movements, but returned home disappointed again and again, just like the legendary husband-looking stone.

On the sixth day of the third month, he once again slipped down the hillside in disappointment. He stayed in the loess plateau for half a month. His sweat and loess had already exposed Qin Lei's skin outside and wrapped it with a thick layer. There were only a pair of eyes and a mouth, and there was a little white inside. Just like a mud monkey, there was no trace of his original appearance... Even if he cut his face with a knife, it would not be so easy to touch the skin.

As soon as Qin Lei fell, another mud monkey came over and said, "Prince, Commander Shen, all four adults have arrived." His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and he couldn't tell which one it was.

Qin Lei nodded and followed the man through the crisscrossing valleys. After a while, he arrived in a dry riverbed.

Another group of mud monkeys were waiting there. Seeing these two people coming in, the mud monkeys struggled to identify them, but they couldn't tell who this person was.

'This is the consequence of not washing your face for half a month on the Loess Plateau.' Qin Lei rolled his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I am Qin Lei!" The one next to him quickly illuminated his waist card to prove it.

"Oh, I will meet the prince." Everyone saluted quickly.

"Forget it, stop talking nonsense, lack of water." Qin Lei seemed to have a blister on his mouth, and his eyes were covered in bloodshots: "I'll just ask you to come here. What should I do? Let's leave or stay?"

"Let's go! Otherwise, I'll die of thirst here." This guy was very anxious.

"Stay! The person who sent the water may arrive one day." This person was very calm.

"Stay! I will not give up until I achieve my goal!" This person was very determined.

"Let's go... stay..." This guy was very hesitant.

"Can you give me a sure letter?" Qin Lei said with a wry smile.

A mud monkey said, "Prince, this really makes a choice between the safety of the soldiers and the predetermined targets, and you have to make an idea." This guy was just right.

"Then vote." Qin Lei said irresponsibly.

The five people wrote five words on the small note, and Shi Gan held it and sang: "Let's go, stay, go, stay, stay!"
