Me! The four younger brothers clenched their fists and beat their chests together.
Sun Liyi's serious face revealed a smile.
Nowadays, the civil strife in the kingdom continues, and you don’t know the date of your return after joining the army. You can’t all go, someone needs to stay at home. His eyes roamed over his brothers.
What the eldest brother said makes sense! It was the youngest who rushed to say that you are the eldest son in the family and should shoulder the important responsibility of continuing the family. I think it is most suitable for you to stay and leave the matter of joining the army to the younger brothers.
Haha. The second child smiled and said nothing. The third and fourth children looked at each other and said nothing.
Nonsense! I have sons and daughters who have continued the family legacy. No matter who my father chooses to inherit the family business, I will always be indispensable. But you, you haven’t even married a wife yet. The adults are talking, and the children are staying alone. Sun
The intention has been planned long ago.
What's wrong with not having a wife? There are so many people in the army who don't have a wife. The youngest replied in a low voice.
My father will be sad when everyone is gone. The fourth child supports the eldest child.
Hehe, my situation is similar to that of my eldest brother. The children of the third and fourth brothers are still young, so the fifth brother is single and has no worries. Let’s do this, third brother and fourth brother, you can either stay or choose one to stay. Sun Lizhi came up with something
idea.
The third and fourth children had only been married a few years ago, and the children were less than two years old. It was not appropriate to abandon the wife and children at this time, but it was reasonable to let them stay.
Are you using your wife and children to bully others? They will grow up safely! Sun Lixiong refuses to accept it. In my opinion, the unmarried ones will stay.
Sun Liwu jumped up again and said: Why? There is no such rule in the army. I am the most suitable recruit!
Don't bully honest people! Sun Lijun doesn't want to stay.
We can't all go
The brothers started arguing in the room.
Shut up, everyone! There was an angry shout outside the door. The Five Elites of the Sun Family were very familiar with this voice, and the room suddenly became quiet.
A livid-faced Sun Mou walked in with his hands behind his back. His clothes and trouser legs were wet from the heavy rain, and his shoes were stained with mud.
Do you still have parents in your eyes? He walked to the boss, who quickly stood up and gave up his seat.
The five brothers lowered their heads, and no one answered their father's question.
You are actually discussing such a big matter behind my back! Do you think I am too old to care about you? Sun Mou's tone became increasingly serious.
Sun Liyi didn't have a seat, so he knelt down next to Sun Mou's seat and said, "Children don't dare! I'm just afraid that you will worry."
Aren't I worried because you left without saying a word? Sun Mou's eyes widened even more.
Father, calm down, we want to discuss a result and then report to you. The children are old and we can't let you worry about everything.
Second brother, don't stop me with your words. Don't you know what you are thinking in your heart? Sun Mou stood up angrily.
Sun Lizhi also knelt down.
Sun Lixiong, Sun Lijun, and Sun Liwu could not sit still, so they knelt down in front of Sun Mou one by one.
I'm angry because you didn't tell me, and you treated me like an old farmer who doesn't care about the world. Don't forget who is in charge of Ligang Town? Those township party members of yours, Sun Mou pointed at the boss, dare not tell me the truth?
Sun Liyi cursed in his heart and regretted not warning them in advance.
Who covered up the fact that you often sneaked to Nanqiu County? Your words of praise for Nanqiu County had already reached the ears of Director Zhang of the Public Security Department. If I hadn’t spent gold coins to silence him, you would be in jail now!
In a fit of anger, Lao Sun revealed hidden secrets that his sons had never heard before.
Huh! Don't look at me like that. The Sun family only wants stability, and they don't expect wealth. What's wrong with living a quiet life?
The room fell silent.
Unable to get the approval of his sons, Lao Sun had no choice but to continue: Alas, you should not have been allowed to practice martial arts in the first place. You want to join the army under the rule of the Prince Consort, and I have no objection.
The five heroes of the Sun family all looked happy.
As Dalang said, someone has to inherit the family business. I'm old. This mayor can't be the mayor for a few more years. Ligang Town still has to be managed by the Sun family. You can't all leave.
What the father said was true. The children were discussing who should stay. The eldest brother quickly answered.
you!
Sun Liyi immediately shut up and looked at his father with a look of pleading in his eyes.
You are the most irresponsible! Sun Mou was trembling with anger. Has the outcome of the discussion been reached? With your bad temper, even your brothers can't come to an agreement. Can you deal with others in the future?
Dad, there is a result, I will stay!
The brothers looked at Sun Lixiong in surprise.
The third child is very ambitious. He has determined to be a general since he was a child. He works particularly hard in martial arts. His combat prowess is as good as that of the elder brother. He has read as many military books as the second child and has a lot of strategies in mind. Now he is actually willing to take the initiative to stay.
Father's lesson is right! We must learn to give in. If our brothers can stand out, the Sun family will prosper. You must unite in the army. Sun Lixiong was stimulated by Lao Sun's words. There will be no results if the brothers keep fighting.
I'd better stay.
No! I’m not married, I’m staying!
Shut up! Sun Mou shouted angrily again and interrupted the quarrel among the five brothers. The third brother stayed behind. That was it. His in-laws were the worst to talk to.
As a result, Sun Lixiong stayed at home because of his in-laws.
The rain that started falling in the middle of the night showed no sign of stopping until the morning. However, the special operations group captured the westernmost town of Jisha City. Due to the heavy rain, no news was leaked. Dou Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief.
The main infantry force led by Lei Feixiang has not yet arrived, and the special operations group still has the opportunity to sneak into Jisha City and prepare to meet the siege troops.
More than two thousand top armed men quickly took control of the villages and towns west of Jisha City, but heavy rain affected the reconnaissance of Jisha City.
Report! Several villagers asked to meet the leader.
Villager? Why are you seeing me? This is the first time Dou Xiaoqi has encountered this situation.
The special operations group is a force that scares the enemy. People in hostile areas usually stay away from them when they see them, and do not take the initiative to ask for help.
I don't know, they said they have important information but they won't tell it until they see you.
Then bring them over. Dou Xiaoqi became interested in these bold villagers.
Four well-built men walked into the temporary headquarters of the special operations group. Even the large raincoats could not hide their figures. There were several soldiers following behind. They were probably afraid that they would be harmful to the group leader.
Are you local villagers? Dou Xiaoqi noticed that these people are very skilled.
The man who looked like the oldest man clasped his fists and said: Cao Min Sun Liyi is from Ligang Town, Jisha City. These are Cao Min's younger brothers.
Sun Lizhi, Sun Lijun, Sun Liwu, and the other three reported their names one by one.
Ligang Town, I know. Dou Xiaoqi looked at his subordinates in confusion, have you passed?
Several soldiers from the special operations group shook their heads.
Sir, are you Captain Lei?
Oh? You know Captain Lei, but he has been promoted to division commander. My surname is Dou. Dou Xiaoqi is even more curious about Sun Liyi.
It turns out to be Battalion Commander Dou, uh, no, no, no, no, no, no, civilians, see Captain Dou! Sun and others came here specially to seek refuge. When they came out of home early this morning, they happened to run into your troops. Sun Liyi had heard about Lei Feixiang, and he also heard about it.
I mentioned Dou Xiaoqi.
Do you want to defect to us? Dou Xiaoqi showed a bright smile. Since you have heard of us, you should know that it is not easy to join the special forces. Moreover, it is a war period, and you are coming from 'that' side. How can I trust you?
if?
The regiment leaders and civilians have long been interested in the National Guard Army and hope to serve the country. Of course, they most hope to become a subordinate of Prince Consort Ding, but because their family is in Yanling County, they have been unable to do so.
Now that I heard that the Supervisory State intends to take over Yanling County, I guessed that your troops might appear here, so I came here specifically to look for it.
Your Excellency doesn't believe me, so don't worry. Your subordinates came here just to attack Jisha City. The common people have grown up here and are familiar with everything here. I believe they can help you.
Sun Liyi had thought of these words before coming.
Okay, then tell me about the situation in Jisha City. Dou Xiaoqi is half convinced.
What a coincidence. As soon as the special forces arrived, someone came to seek refuge. No one would trust the other easily.
Sun Liyi told what he knew about the situation.
The whole city was under martial law last night. Can you pretend to open the city gate? This is pretty much what Dou Xiaoqi expected.
The common people and other people who were not familiar with the powerful people in the city might not be able to open the city gate through deception. Sun Liyi showed an embarrassed expression.
Who will open the city gate for their brothers? It would be better if they don’t shoot them to death with random arrows.
This is going to be difficult. We must capture Jisha City this morning. Do you have any ideas? Dou Xiaoqi feels that Boss Sun does not look like a liar.
Sun Lizhi turned around and looked at his brothers. Sun Lizhi took a step forward and said: Heavy rain is not suitable for attacking the city, but it is conducive to stealing the city. There is a drainage gate in Jisha City leading to the Tongyuan River.
The drainage gate is locked by several iron gates, and few people guard it on weekdays. However, ordinary people know that there is a secret passage under the iron gate that can lead to the inside of the iron gate.
That secret passage was dug by the old man in the town to evade the city gate tax. It is a bit old, and not many people in the town know about it now.
It's raining so heavily today that the guards in the city can't see clearly what's going on along the river. You can send someone with good water skills to sneak into the secret passage from the river.
Find a way to pry open the iron gate, get rid of the guards on the city, and then take a boat and raft to sneak into the city through the water gate.
How far is it from the riverside to the secret passage? Is the secret passage still open? Dou Xiaoqi intuitively felt that this method was feasible.
It's more than fifty meters. The grassroots used that secret passage when they were young, and they should still be able to use it now.
Swimming more than fifty meters underwater and drilling into a secret passage requires very high water quality, and not many in the special operations group meet the requirements.
How many people are needed to pry open the iron gate and eliminate the guards? Dou Xiaoqi began to deduce the feasibility of this plan.
Sir, some grassroots brothers can organize the township party to give it a try. People in our town are familiar with water properties. Sun Li is willing to step forward and ask for help.
Dou Xiaoqi thought to himself: It's raining so hard. If we sneak in from the water gate near the river, we can try even if there is an ambush in the city. No one can stop us from withdrawing.
