"Report to the general! Master Cai persuaded Shang Shigu, the guard of the small town in the southeast of Xinchai, to surrender. Shang Shigu has already dedicated the city!"
"Report——"
"General! Master Cai has returned——"
"good!"
Li Jie slammed the table, "Hahahaha... Okay! Master Cai alone can be worth a hundred thousand soldiers!"
Besieging Xincai, with or without the "Power of the Dragon God", is a time-consuming and labor-intensive matter. As long as the defenders have good defenses, street fighting can wear off three layers of Li Jie's skin.
According to the amount of "Dragon God's Power" used to remove the small Sifang City of Xincai, it would cost at least two to three thousand kilograms. If this amount is used up, Li Jie's inventory on hand will not be enough to destroy the main city of Xincai.
Now, thanks to Dr. Cai's words, he managed to secure the "Acropolis" of Xincai, saying it could be worth a hundred thousand soldiers. It's not just an exaggeration, it's really worth it.
It is not impossible to attack the city with elite troops, but for a big city like Xincai, climbing to the city is just a small start, and the result is still uncontrollable.
Cai Mei was also a little tired at the moment. He had different reasons for convincing the Xincai Xiaocheng garrison to surrender, which was very laborious, especially yesterday when he had to write a message and verbally attack Zheng Guo. This made Cai Mei, who was in his seventies, even more so.
So tired.
"Ancestor, honey water."
Chen An, the newly appointed captain of the Fifth Brigade of Volunteers, saw that Cai Mei was a little exhausted and quickly gave her honey water.
"Where's the honey?"
"There are many equipments in our army. If we charge, those who are unable to catch us can be relieved."
"..."
Dr. Shang Cai, who was a little exhausted at first, suddenly felt less tired after hearing what his grandson-in-law said. He asked curiously: "Does the general have a magic trick to get honey?"
"good!"
Although Chen An didn't know how the boss got so much honey, he could probably tell that there must be a way. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain. When the Yang Kingdom was invaded, the sensation caused by Jiangyin honey was not comparable to that in the "Justice League"
White sand linen low.
"..."
After taking a sip of the cool honey water, the old master rolled his eyes and whispered: "I have never heard the general mention this matter?"
"There are so many things that the General has not mentioned. Isn't this normal?"
Snapped!
Doctor Shangcai slapped him in the face: "Ignorance! Do you know that honey is a precious commodity? If you go to Heluo, you can get twenty times the profit!"
"But I am a soldier, do I still have to sell honey?"
Covering his head, Chen An looked aggrieved, thinking that even if he knew honey was valuable, he wouldn't be able to sell honey because he wouldn't have the need or opportunity.
"..."
Looking at Chen An's stupid look, Dr. Cai almost couldn't get up in one breath. What is the reason why he asked Chen An to be his grandson-in-law? Is it because of Chen An's intelligence?!
"Stupid fool, you are a soldier and cannot be sold... Where are your people?"
"All dead."
"..."
Snapped!
With another backhand slap, Doctor Cai pointed at himself with a trembling finger: "Who is this old man?! Who is your wife?! Who is brother Nai?!"
"..."
Chen An suddenly reacted, then scratched his head and laughed: "Hehehehe, I forgot that I still have brothers, but not all of them are dead..."
"..."
The bald old man holding his forehead was almost depressed. This grandson-in-law had many advantages, but shortcomings...even one was too many.
However, Doctor Shang Cai still cheered up and said: "Earlier, when the general announced that he would represent Jiangyin honey, I thought that honey cannot be prolific. Now it seems that I have a wrong idea."
"Then I'll go talk to the general and tell him that my ancestor wants to sell honey."
With that said, Chen An stood up and went to find Li Jie.
“That’s how you say it?!”
"Yes, the general once said that if you have something to say, say it straight away, and if you have something to say, just say it."
"..."
He was hiding it, but was discovered by Li Jie, and was tortured in various ways.
Chen An is very experienced. In the army, you should never play tricks with the general, because you will be seen through. If you are seen through, you will definitely be punished, and being punished will be very miserable.
Although Dr. Shang Cai had enough dealings with Li Jie, he actually did not understand the internal logic of Li Jie's work. His set of models were incompatible with the princes' scholar-bureaucrats, but it was impossible to adapt to the princes' scholar-bureaucrats, so he could only
It is up to others to adapt to him.
Cai Mei also mentioned this, but Li Jie explained it in one sentence: I represent advanced productivity!
But the seventy-six-year-old old man didn’t want to earn anything more. What he wanted now was to prove himself!
As for the clan members, Li Jie will not treat him badly because of his contribution to Cai Meili.
This self-confidence is not because of Li Jie, but because of the logic under the operation of the Yinxiang system, where meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and delinquencies must be punished.
Of course there will definitely be some closeness, but when it comes to the word "fairness", Chua Mei can assert that this is the best in the world.
Yinxiang is not fair, but as long as it is fairer than the princes of other countries, then Li Jie will be the most trustworthy person in the world!
"That's fine, I'll let you do it."
"Yes! Don't worry, ancestor. With our achievements, how can the general care about a little bit of honey?"
After that, Chen An went directly to Li to explain things to him. It was more efficient to be straightforward.
As soon as Chen An left, he saw Cai Sheng rushing in: "Master!"
"Why so impatient?"
"Master! Jiangdong... no, Gusu swears my loyalty!"
"Ah?! Could it be that Gou Chen wants to get rid of Li Jie?!"
"..."
When Cai Sheng heard his father say this, his whole face was distorted. Wasn't this a curse on his family?
Seeing her son's expression, Cai Mei immediately knew that she had guessed wrong. Fortunately, she guessed wrong, and she immediately felt at ease. As long as she didn't attack Li Jie, how big a deal could it be? Could it be that Gou Chen was thinking big before he died?
Starting a killing spree? I don’t even think about the consequences of doing so.
Just when he was feeling at ease, he heard Cai Sheng's lips tremble and said with a trembling voice: "Gusu swears a pledge! King Wu conquers Yue!"
puff--
The cool honey water almost gave the seventy-six-year-old master a chill.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough..."
"Master! Master! Master, don't be anxious..."
Cai Sheng quickly stroked my back and patted my chest. If my father choked to death, how could the Cai family be so stupid?
Li Jie has publicly stated before that Dr. Cai is as powerful as a hundred thousand soldiers, but now the Cai family relies on the elderly "Cai Shiwan".
If there is no "Cai Shiwan", what else does the Cai family have? Is it relying on that mentally retarded Chen An?
"Fa Yue?"
Cai Mei took a breath out of her trachea with difficulty, and her eyes bulged.
"It is said that it is an attack on Yue, but people in Wu all say that 'the king will destroy Yue', which is just one word different..."
In Cai Sheng's view, there might still be a chance of conquering Yue, but destroying Yue... that would be a national war, is it possible?
"Mie Yue——"
With an exclamation, Cai Mei's whole body trembled. She stood up suddenly, her vision went dark, and she sat back suddenly, "Mie Yue..."
With a long sigh, Cai Mei had to admit that Gou Chen was really terrible.
A national war before death was unheard of, and Cai Mei even believed that even if Gou Chen died on the way to destroy Yue, the King of Gusu would unswervingly carry out Gou Chen's order to destroy Yue until death!
"Wu's hegemony..."
Cai Mei's old eyes were cloudy, and she was very excited at this moment. He knew that once the Yue was successfully destroyed, the Wu State would have an unprecedented advantage.
As long as the new king rules with gentleness, after a generation of kings and ministers, Wu's national power will be stronger than ever before.
However, this was the judgment of Cai Mei in the past, the judgment of Dr. Cai.
But now, things are completely different. As Li Jie's important "counselor", Cai Mei dares to conclude that Wu King Gou Chen I's hegemony will come to an end.
Gou Chen misjudged Li Jie. Li Jie was not a loyal minister, no!
In the eyes of the princes of the world, Li Jie went on a rampage and conquered a large territory for Gou Chen. The military power of the Wu State was as prosperous as the past and the present.
But within Yinxiang, especially the senior management, or the core decision-makers, it was very clear that Li Jie was never a loyal minister of the Wu Kingdom.
When Cai Sheng heard his father talking about "Wu's hegemony", he also responded: "Wu's hegemony can be achieved, and domination of the Central Plains is just around the corner!"
"Ah……"
Looking at her son like a fool, at this moment, Cai Mei even felt that her grandson-in-law Chen An was infinitely better than the fifty-year-old fool in front of her.
"Does Li Jie already know about this? Oh, he must know!"
Of course Commissioner Li received the intelligence from Jiangdong, but after reading the intelligence, Commissioner Li was confused: "What the hell is this? Are you going to fight a war to destroy the country when you are almost dead? Damn it... this is
A life of awesomeness means being awesome all your life? It’s so awesome!”
When he felt that he had a little understanding of the old monster, Commissioner Li was shocked by the old monster's operation. If he hadn't been a time-traveling dog, and when he met such a boss, he couldn't help but want to kneel and lick him!
