Chapter 64 Gifts to the People

After all, Li Wuji was the King of Qi. Although he was furious, his identity as the prince still restrained his anger and did not directly reveal it.

"I understand this, you don't have to tell him the real number. Try to delay it. If you really can't delay it, you can increase it by three times. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

"Get out!"

"Abide by the order!"

Wang Jian gave a bow and slowly left, with only Li Wuji left in the room. After pondering for a moment, he ordered the personal soldiers outside the door, "Come Mr. Qian!"

The so-called "Mr. Qian" is Li Wuji's aide. He is from Shu County. He is resourceful and trusted by Li Wuji. Soon, Qian Rong appeared at the door and bowed to him and said, "Does Your Highness look for me?"

“Come in and speak!”

Qian Rong was short and dry, and his triangular eyes flashed with cunning light from time to time. He quickly walked into the room, stood with his hands down, waiting for Li Wuji's lecture.

Li Wuji pondered for a moment and said, "Justice Wang Jian, the military officer of Cangcao, came to me and said Luo Yi called him to provide a lot of important military information, such as food, weapons and armor. I doubted what Luo Yi wanted to do for these things. Has he surrendered to the Sui army? You said, if this is the case, what should I do?"

The reason why Qian Rong gained Li Wuji's trust was because he understood Li Wuji's temperament and knew what to say and what not to say. He knew very well that Li Wuji was stubborn and self-willed. Since he said this, it was not a suspicion, but a determination that Luo Yi surrendered to the Sui army.

"But Your Highness, Luo Yi's eldest son is on duty in the Eastern Palace. If he surrenders to the Sui army, wouldn't he be afraid of endangering his son's life?"

"Hmph! He only cares about his future. His son is not important to him. At worst, he can just marry and have children again."

Li Wuji did not think his son would become an obstacle to Luo Yi's surrender. He sneered and continued: "I have taken away military power by this person, and he must hold a grudge, but he can't fight me. So as long as the Sui army wins over, he will definitely surrender to the Sui army. In fact, the father also doubts his loyalty, so he ordered me to seize the military power of Hanzhong. I am worried that once I am indecisive, I will die at the hands of this person."

After Li Wuji said this, his teeth clenched, and murderous intent burst out in his eyes. Qian Rong was shocked. He knew that Li Wuji was going to take the opportunity to kill someone, so he dared not object to his Highness's killing Luo Yi. However, if the handling is not done properly, he may be harmed. You must know that not all generals are His Highness's people."

Li Wuji nodded. This made him feel at ease. He was worried that Luo Yi would harm him. He took two steps behind his hands and said viciously: "I want to send troops to surround his mansion immediately and kill him!"

"No!"

Qian Rong quickly stopped Li Wuji's impulse, "Your Highness, Luo Yi's mansion is very close to the Northern Military Camp. Many generals of the Northern Military Camp are his people, and there are 300 personal soldiers in his mansion. If they cannot kill him in an urgent manner, summoning the Northern Military Camp troops will be detrimental to Your Highness. You should not kill people in his mansion."

Li Wuche resisted the anxiety in his heart and asked again: "Then do you think, how should I kill this thief?"

Qian Rong smiled sinisterly, "Your Highness, I guess the Sui army will appear outside the city tomorrow morning. Your Highness will transfer the soldiers from the Northern Military Camp to defend the city. At this time, Your Highness can ask Luo Yi to come to the military office to discuss military affairs. Luo Yi will not doubt that as long as he enters the military office, will his life be held in His Highness's hands?"

Li Wuji was overjoyed. This was a good idea. There were plenty of excuses. Luo Yi would not doubt it. He nodded immediately, "It's settled!"

...

The next morning, when the sun shone outside Nanzheng City, an army of more than 30,000 people appeared in the wilderness east of Nanzheng City. The troops were neatly armored, majestic, and the flags were overwhelming, and the momentum was huge. The Sui army came, and the defenders at the city of Nanzheng were suddenly panicked and kept ringing the alarm bell, "Dang! Dang! Dang!" bells spread throughout the city.

King Li Wuji of Qi immediately ordered that the two camps in the north and south, a total of 15,000 troops would go to the city to defend, and the city was in chaos, and a group of soldiers rushed to the top of the city, and Zhang Yin took the arrows and was solemn.

Two miles away from the city, Xu Shiji led dozens of generals to immediately sit on a hill, looking at Nanzheng City not far away. This city is the political and economic center of Hanzhong. The city is tall and strong, and it also leads the tributaries of the Han River as a moat and surrounds the city. If Luo Yi, who is good at fighting, comes to guard this city, it is indeed not easy to capture it, but the person who holds military power now is not Luo Yi.

Xu Shiji turned around and ordered: "Bring Captain Wang!"

Wang Jiawei was Wang Ji, who entered the city as an envoy. He received Luo Yi's arrangement in the middle of the night last night and went out to report the message, of course, to report Luo Yi's oral message. However, Wang Ji also reported the situation in the city to Xu Shiji, which made Xu Shiji feel confident.

After a moment, Wang Ji was brought over by the soldiers. He stood in front of the horse and bowed, "See the general manager!"

Xu Shiji smiled gently and said, "Person Wang had worked hard last night, I just wanted to ask Brother Ling again."

"Master, please ask, all the humble officials will answer."

Xu Shiji nodded, "I want to know, after Brother Ling went to find King Qi last night, I heard that King Qi was not moving, so what plans did Brother Ling have?"

Wang Ji bowed and said, "From my brother's opinion, the King of Qi was very angry last night, but he just restrained himself and did not make an attack. He said, perhaps because the King of Qi did not have all the military power, it was still a bit taboo. However, the King of Qi originally wanted to kill Luo Yi, but he just couldn't find an excuse. He would not be sympathetic again this time."

Xu Shiji pondered for a moment. He had to create conditions. Since he could not oppress the city too much, he could not be too relaxed..." The most delicate situation must be between being able to be retracted and released, which is enough to trigger internal strife in the city.

Thinking of this, Xu Shiji ordered: "Retreat the troops eight miles away and set up a camp!"

The order was followed, and the Sui army slowly retreated, retreating until eight miles away from the city, and began to set up camp. The eight miles away from the city was an extremely subtle distance. It not only maintained enough deterrence within the vision of the soldiers guarding the city, but also made the soldiers guarding the city feel a little relieved outside the range of the attack.

Luo Yi was still in his mansion. Although he also heard that the Sui army was at the city, he did not want to ask about it. Since the military power had been handed over to Li Wuji, if he asked too much, he would inevitably be taboo by the King of Qi, which would arouse the King of Qi to kill him. Staying in the mansion and keeping silent is the perfect solution.

But the forest wanted to be quiet but the wind did not stop. At noon, King Li Wuji of Qi sent a confidant.

"Report to the General Manager, Your Highness, King Qi, asks the General Manager to discuss military information."

Luo Yi nodded without doubt. He knew that the Sui army was at the city, which would inevitably make the King of Qi panic. The number one playboy in the world, hunting and playing with women, is an expert, but he can command the army to defend the city. He is nothing!

Luo Yi's heart was filled with contempt, which made him feel at ease, and he said, "I'll clean up a little and go right away!"

"We are going to report to the King of Qi."

The informant took a step forward. Luo Yi changed into armor, turned over the horse, and prepared to leave the mansion with his three hundred soldiers. At this time, his son Luo Xin rushed up and said, "The child will go with his father, too."

Luo Yi thought about it and the situation in the city is now chaotic, and his son was relieved to follow him, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay! Just follow him as your father."

The group left the mansion and headed towards the county government office. The mansion where Luo Yi lived was not far and not close to the county government office, about four or five miles apart. It was just halfway through the road, and a person rushed out of an alley, "Master, please stay!"

Luo Yi recognized it as Cangcao and Wang Jian, and immediately stopped the war horse. Could it be that the Sui army had any news for him?

Wang Jian rushed forward panting and whispered: "Master, don't go to see King Qi."

"Why?" Luo Yi frowned and asked in confusion.

Wang Jian lowered his voice, "This morning, the King of Qi summoned me to ask about the food, grass, soldiers and armor. In the county government, I saw many swords and axes gathering. General manager, be careful!"

Wang Jian's words surprised Luo Yi and he was confused. Of course, he knew that since Wang Jian was from the Sui army, he would not lie to him at this time. The sword and axe master must be true. It was just that the King of Qi summoned the sword and axe master to do. Was he killing him?

At this time, Wang Jiantu, a confidant guard of the King of Qi, ran towards him, and he hurriedly said, "Master, I am so humble, please take care of you!" He turned around and hurriedly left.

After a moment, the guards of the King of Qi rushed forward and bowed and smiled: "Military information is urgent, Your Highness asks General Manager Luo to discuss quickly."

If the guards of the King of Qi were not here to urge him, Luo Yi might have been just confused, but the guards of the guards of the King of Qi were like adding more to the snake, which made Luo Yi immediately understand that the King of Qi must have used the excuse of discussing military affairs to kill himself. He was very hated, but he smiled on his face: "I forgot to bring an important item, go back and get it first. Please tell His Highness the King of Qi, and I will come soon."

He turned his horse's head and left. The guard of the King of Qi was anxious, "General Manager Luo can let his personal soldiers take it. Your Highness is waiting anxiously!"

At this time, Luo Yi was frightened and was reluctant to listen to his words. He urged the horse to leave without looking back: "I let it go very secretly, only I know. Please tell His Highness the King of Qi, and I will arrive soon.

He urged the horse to run to the mansion, and the guards of the King of Qi also became anxious. They turned their horses and ran back to report. Luo Yi turned around and saw him running away. He was sure of it. He said to his son Luo Xin: "You go to Dongcheng to find General Zhao Rong as soon as possible, and you will say that the King of Qi wants to kill me, and ask him to come to the North City Gate to help me."

Luo Xin turned his horse and ran towards the east city. Luo Yi did not dare to go back to the mansion, so he turned around and headed to the north city. Wu Feng, the guard general of the North City Gate, was once Luo Yi's personal soldier. King Li Wuji of Qi had no time to change it. At this time, Luo Yi was desperate. He didn't want to die, so he could only fight with Li Wuji to death.

In the county government, King Li Wuji of Qi was full of armor and holding a horse spear in his hand. He sat in the lobby and waited. Five thousand swords and axes were deployed in front, back and left and right of the lobby. As long as Luo Yi walked into the lobby, he would be chopped into meat paste.

Li Wuji was really anxious when he waited for Luo Yi to come. At this moment, he sent the guards who urged Luo Yi to come back and reported loudly: "Your Highness! Luo Yi turned around halfway."

"What!"
