Chapter 1086 How Can I Serve the King when I Can’t Even Take Care of Myself! Do I Need to Bring Shame to My Ancestors?

Two and a half hours ago.

Ten miles southeast of Shanggu Pass.

"Report!" The scout galloped back on his horse, clasped his hands and said solemnly: "Two flags are erected on Shanggu Pass."

"One is Ma, the other is Li!"

Mao Sui's heart trembled suddenly.

What Ren Xiong could think of, Mao Sui could think of too!

"Something happened!" With a light cry, Mao Sui ordered in a deep voice: "Order the whole army!"

"Prepare for battle!"

The generals of various units immediately formed their troops and gathered behind Mao Sui, slowly approaching Shanggu Pass, and saw two generals, one Zhong and one Qing, standing on the city of Shanggu Pass.

Mao Sui's eyes were immediately attracted by Li Hong, and he asked loudly with a look of joy: "General Li is actually in Shanggu Pass!"

Li Hong looked down at Mao Sui and said calmly: "Shanggu Pass is the Shanggu Pass of Dai. What is there to be surprised about this general being here?"

Mao Sui's heart trembled again.

Shanggu Pass is the Shanggu Pass of Dai? No! Shanggu Pass is the Shanggu Pass of Dai State!

The two concepts are completely different!

Hearing Li Hong's reply, Mao Sui had already figured out Li Hong's intention.

But Mao Sui was unwilling to give up. He made an excited look and said, "The king has missed General Li and his son for a long time."

"If there is no Wu'an Jun in Dai, it will be like a fish without water and a bird without feathers. The king will be restricted everywhere and suffer humiliation. Facing the war, I don't know who can help the king solve the problem!"

"Since the king learned that Wu'an Jun went north to Hu State, the king has been unable to sleep every night. I often see the king curled up under the portrait of the former king and cried."

"If it weren't for the war, the king would have personally gone to Dai to invite Wu'an Jun to be the commander in chief for this battle."

"If it weren't for this I have no choice but to go to war on behalf of Wu'an Jun. I must also personally accompany the king to invite Wu'an Jun to come out of retirement. "

"Now that I finally get to meet General Li, it is really a blessing for me, the king, and the great Dai!"

"The position of the general of this army is still waiting for General Li."

"Please tell the officials of the counties and prefectures in Dai that the food sent by the king to Dai has been delivered to the military capital Xing and will reach Wei County within half a month."

"Please tell Wu'an Jun that the position of the commander of the coalition army has been waiting for Wu'an Jun for a long time!"

In the city gate tower, listening to Mao Sui's words, Li Mu's eyes were full of complexity.

Mao Sui did not say that Dai Wangjia would reward Li Mu with a high official position and generous salary, but only said that Dai Wangjia trusted and desired Li Mu, and mentioned that the food and grass sent to Dai were on the way.

These words would only cause a sneer to other generals.

But for Li Mu, it hit Li Mu's point!

How sad the former king must have felt when he heard the king's cry!

I have been deeply grateful to the former king, how can I sit back and watch the former king suffer and remain indifferent!

Subconsciously, Li Mu wanted to get up and go to see Mao Sui.

However, Li Mu felt the restraint of his legs and arms during the action.

Looking down, I was still tied up?

That's right, Li is now just a captive who is strictly guarded, tied up, and has no control over his life and death!

Li can't even control his own life, how can he have the spare energy to help the king?

Alas~ What a pity! What a sigh! What a pain! What a sorrow!

Li Mu turned around and sat down, shaking his head and sighing: "Woo~"

Li Xian quickly took the cork stick out of Li Mu's mouth and asked with concern: "Aunt, is your mouth sour?"

"Come on, drink some chicken soup first!"

While talking, Li Xian took out a bowl of chicken soup that had been warmed by the fire, poured a little chicken soup on the back of his hand to feel the temperature, and after confirming that the temperature was appropriate, he put the bowl to Li Mu's mouth.

On the city gate, Li Hong sneered like the other generals: "Your Majesty, are you crying and complaining under the portrait of the former king?"

"Your Majesty is the prince who was deposed by the former king. You ascended the throne as the King of Dai instead of the King of Zhao. Your Majesty has also clearly stated that the Dai Kingdom has nothing to do with the Zhao Kingdom. Why is the King of Dai crying and complaining in front of the King of Zhao?"

"In this battle, Your Majesty has allied with the northern barbarians and invaded the people of China. You are shameless and do not know etiquette!"

"How can Your Majesty have the face to cry and complain in front of the former King of Zhao?"

"If the former King of Zhao knew about this in the underworld, he would definitely ask Qin Chang'an Jun to help him return to the world at all costs and personally scold the King of Dai!"

Li Hong mercilessly scolded Dai Wang Jia, and the Dai army soldiers on and off the city wall all changed their colors.

But then he thought, eh?

What Li Hong said is right!

The Dai Kingdom has nothing to do with the Zhao Kingdom. This is what the King said himself!

Mao Sui quickly refuted: "The late king is your father, how can the deep affection between father and son be guessed by outsiders?"

"Your Majesty's alliance with the Hu Kingdom in the north is also for the sake of the country!"

"Anyone who can accomplish great things does things that ordinary people can't think of!"

"General Li, please don't say that, and don't misunderstand your painstaking efforts!"

Li Hong stepped forward, leaned on the battlement of the city wall with both hands, looked down at Mao Sui and asked: "Which of my words is a lie?"

"I was born and raised in the north, and I am such a man who speaks his mind and can't say flattering lies."

"What can Prime Minister Mao do to me?!"

"I will not hesitate to tell Prime Minister Mao that he is so disloyal, unfilial, unkind, unjust and shameless to betray the king of China."

"You are not worthy of my loyalty!!!"

"I will never fight for the King of Dai again!"

"My salary is taken from the people of Dai, not from the King of Dai."

"I am worthy of the King of Dai, but it is the King of Dai who is worthy of the people of Dai!"

Hearing this, the Dai army soldiers on and off the city were all in an uproar: "What does General Li mean by this?"

"Does General Li intend to betray his country?!"

"General Li is the second son of Wu'an Jun. How could General Li betray his country!"

Even though he had already guessed Li Hong's thoughts, Mao Sui still didn't expect Li Hong to dare to publicly announce his betrayal of Dai State!

Mao Sui's face showed genuine shock and anger: "General Li is so arrogant, isn't he afraid of bringing shame to our ancestors?!"

Li Hong glanced at Mao Sui with disdain.

Do Li's ancestors need me to be ashamed of them?

It is Li Dui, the ancestor who was a powerful minister and undermined the king, who brought shame to Li!

Too lazy to respond to Mao Sui, Li Hong took the opportunity to look at the soldiers behind Mao Sui and shouted: "Do you know?"

"The king has ordered the counties of Dai to pay a million grains to the Hu bandits!"

"How exhausted Dai is now, all the comrades know it well. If you really follow the king's order, the Hu bandits can be full, and Dai is full of bones!"

"This general and the soldiers under my command will not help the Hu bandits to kill my Chinese brothers."

"We will not help the Hu bandits to kill the elders of Dai!"

"We will not be so humble as to give the life-saving food that the elders of Dai live on to the Hu bandits!"

The Dai army on both sides couldn't help but get agitated when they heard this.

No matter whether it is the soldiers of Dai, Shanggu or Youbeiping, they are unwilling to join forces with the Hu bandits.

Because these areas are all located in the northernmost war-torn conflict zone of China, they or their ancestors have fought bloody battles with the Hu bandits, and many elders, fellow villagers and even relatives have died under the swords of the Hu bandits.

Due to the king's order, they had to obey Bater's dispatch.

But when Li Hong openly fired at the King of Dai for this move, and even made it clear that the King of Dai wanted to give their food to the Hu bandits, their anger and dissatisfaction were difficult to suppress.

"Why! Why should we give our food to the Hu bandits! Haven't the Hu bandits bullied us enough!"

"Blood feuds and blood debts have not been paid, why kneel down and become slaves!"

"No wonder General Li wants to rebel, the king is really too unjust!"

Mao Sui was very anxious, turned back and shouted: "Order the generals of all departments to reorganize the troops immediately!"

"Family soldiers enter the army, and anyone who dares to rebel will be executed immediately!"

Ordering the trusted family soldiers to suppress the army, Mao Sui completely gave up lobbying Li Hong, turned to look at Ma Chong and said in a deep voice: "Big The king treats General Ma well and respects him deeply! "

"General Li is young and impulsive, and General Ma should understand the king's helplessness and unwillingness."

"Please persuade General Li to open the gate and let our troops go north."

"Don't do something that will hurt your relatives and please your enemies!"

Ma Chong said calmly: "The one who treats me well is Wu'an Jun, not Dai."

"My relatives are the people of Dai, not the king."

In just two sentences, he killed the lobbying and gave Mao Sui a piece of news that made his hair stand on end.

Did Ma Chong do this because of Li Mu's kindness to him?

So was Ma Chong willing to help Li Hong because Li Hong was Li Mu's son, or because Li Mu directly issued a general order to Ma Chong?!

Has Li Mu already...

Mao Sui didn't dare to think about it, let alone speak out this guess!

The lobbying failed, Mao Sui could only shout: "Pass on my order!"

"Set up camp on the spot, build siege equipment, and prepare to capture the city!"

No matter what the truth is, if he can hold Li Mu's son in his hand, it will have some influence on Li Mu!

Li Hong took a breath and shouted in a deep voice: "Order!"

"Open the armory, and all the city defense weapons are on the city."

"Captain Lu Gao leads 2,000 soldiers to guard the east wall."

"Captain Ma Chong leads 2,000 soldiers to guard the west wall."

"Captain Zhao Jiang leads 1,000 soldiers to guard the northwest gate."

"I will personally lead 3,000 soldiers to guard the southeast gate."

"The rest are all fresh troops, and they will rest in the city for a while!"

Li Hong made the most secure arrangement in his opinion, and all the generals felt that there was nothing wrong, so they all bowed their hands : "Yes!"

Li Hong returned the greeting with his hands and said sincerely: "The lives of the people of Dai and the honor and disgrace of my father are all in the hands of you uncles."

"I hope you uncles will obey my orders!"

The generals shouted: "I will die!"

Li Mu closed his eyes, opened them again, and closed them again, but he really couldn't cover his ears. He could only open his eyes again, spit out the cork stick, and angrily scolded him: "Stupid!"

This time, Li Hong and other generals were not surprised. Instead, they hurriedly squatted around Li Mu.

The eager look clearly showed that they had been waiting for a long time!

Li Mu was so angry that he laughed: "Hong'er, are you deliberately making a plan to seek death to force your father to scold you?!"

Li Hong hurriedly defended himself: "My plan is quite safe, how can it be a plan to seek death!"

What son doesn't want to show off in front of his old father?

When this old father is someone he has always admired, the desire to show off his skills becomes stronger.

So Li Hong is really trying his best to formulate a strategy. He doesn't understand why the strategy he came up with after thinking hard for a long time was evaluated by Li Mu as a plan to seek death!

Li Mu looked at Li Hong with a look of "rotten wood cannot be carved", but his eyes were full of helplessness of "his own son has to be educated even if he kneels down".

With a sigh, Li Mu said in a deep voice: "If Li is the commander, Li will immediately order the musicians to beat the victory drum."

"Send another brave general to lead 3,000 elite troops out of the city to charge!"

Li Hong did not even wait for Li Mu to finish his words and ordered without hesitation: "Beat the victory drum!"

“Order Captain Lu Gao to lead 3,000 elite troops out of the city to charge!”
