Chapter 444
The summer in the northern border came very late, but it left very early. In the past, Li Qi only thought that the summer in the northern border was a good existence, and people didn't have to endure the pain of high temperature for too long, but this year However, Li Qi felt that this damn summer was too short.
If the summer heat can continue, the Qin army's offensive pace will inevitably be slowed down because of the high temperature, but now, the heat has dissipated, autumn has gradually dominated the entire northern border, and there is nothing that can stop the Qin army's offensive pace.
As for how to defend Yanmen County, Li Qi never thought about it. To be precise, it was not that he didn't want to defend Yanmen County, but he was really powerless. At the next moment, Li Qi knew very well that the northern border could no longer be kept, especially since he had received some unknown news that Zhao Du had already made up his mind to give up the three counties in the northern border.
Even King Zhao doesn't want his own territory anymore, so why should they go all out? Especially the performance of the Qin army during the period of occupying Daijun seems to be pretty good. At least it is not as cruel as imagined. The situation of Dai County is in front of us. The common people at the bottom may not know the twists and turns, but these wealthy families in Yanmen County can get some news.
It can be said that although the Qin Army did not launch even a small offensive against Yanmen County in the past period of time, the war has never stopped, but in the war between the Qin Army and Yanmen County It is not a war between iron and blood, but a war about hearts.
In the past period of time, the determination of Yanmen County to resist the Qin army has been shaken, at least the determination of a considerable number of people has been shaken. If they can live, who is willing to work hard?
The most important thing is that the connection between the three northern counties and the hinterland of Zhao State has been completely blocked by the Qin army. Even if they want to escape, they can't do it. Zhao State can't go back, but the north is full of wolves Di Fan, these people have been fighting with the wolf clan since their ancestors, and finally made the northern border of Zhao State only Daijun, which became the current northern border. And if we have to shrink our strength in the northern border, the current northern border is not only the three counties of Dai County, Yanmen County, and Yunzhong County, but also Jiuyuan County, which is the four northern counties.
More than a hundred years of fighting has already made them and the wolves become real enemies. It is absolutely impossible for them to go to the wolves, but apart from the wolves, they can escape. Where are you going?It seems that there is only the country of Yan.
But, what is Yan Kingdom?Now that Qin State's forces have extended to the northern border, it has already bordered on the land of Yan State, and now Qin State and Yan State are real neighbors. Who can say whether Qin State will one day attack Yan State? allow.
Flee to Yan, and wait for Yan to surrender again?It seems that there is only one more surrender, and there seems to be no big difference in other things.
It's just that anyone with a little brain knows that the difference is huge. They surrender now, and with what they have now, they can still get some treatment. After all, Qin wants to quickly control the northern border. Their strength is needed, but if they escape to the country of Yan and wait until the country of Yan surrenders, then they have no bargaining chips. Qin Jun would not even hesitate to kill them if he wanted to kill them.
"But everyone can surrender, but I can't." Li Qi, who couldn't raise the thought of confrontation and couldn't surrender, felt extremely uncomfortable among his thoughts.
How did I get this far?Thinking of his second elder brother, his mother, and the Li family, Li Qi couldn't find a reason to surrender after much deliberation, but if he didn't surrender and resist, he wouldn't even have the slightest confidence. No, that was Yang Ming, and he was still the one with the absolute superiority in military strength. Even if he fought with his life, he would not be able to fight.
"It's not easy to be an official." Li Qi, who didn't care about advancing or retreating, let out a long sigh.
"Uncle said such a thing, what do those who want to squeeze into the officialdom think?" Amid Li Qi's long sigh, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy walked into the hall as if no one was there.
"You boy, didn't you stay with your great-grandmother in Wu'an County? Why did you come to the north?" Li Qi looked at the young man in front of him, and couldn't help but turn pale with fright. The second brother's grandson, Li Zuoche, is only 15 years old now, and he is [-] years old. In Li's family, he is the most talented person, and he is expected to be comparable to his grandfather Li Mu.
"Naturally, I came here to solve your problems, uncle and grandfather." Li Zuoche sat in front of Li Qi and said without hesitation.
"You kid, don't just look for trouble. Does anyone know that you are here?" Li Qi asked. Once Li Zuoche's identity is leaked, it will be quite troublesome after all when the Qin army attacks.
"There should be no one." Li left the lane.
"That's okay, you go back quickly, Yanmen is not a place for a child like you to come now." Li Qi said repeatedly.
"Uncle, standing here, I really have a reason to come." Facing Li Qi's urging, Li Zuoche said calmly.
Although he is young, he has a calm demeanor that makes it easy for people to forget his age. As a figure who will stir up the world 20 years later, Li Zuoche, who is fifteen or sixteen years old, is about to show his talents.
"Uncle's current predicament is really only me that can help you out." Li Zuo said.
"You?" Li Qiguo looked at Li Zuoche hesitantly. Although he knew that his second brother's grandson was very extraordinary and could keep the Li family alive, Li Zuoche was still too young after all. How much knowledge can you have?
"How can my uncle look down on me because of my age? Yang Ming, who is now driving you to nowhere, was already the number one warrior in the northern border at the age of 16, and he was already the number one warrior in the world when he was less than 20." He is a well-recognized star." Li left the lane.
Yang Ming and Li Zuoche are no strangers, but he has always regarded Yang Ming as his idol and the goal he needs to pursue.
"I admit that you are a good kid, but a person like Yang Ming..." Li Qi shook his head when he said this, and continued: "He is too strong and lucky. Such a person is even worse than Bai Qi of Qin Guo back then." Not to mention too much, let alone you, I am afraid that in the next 30 years, it is impossible to see similar people again."
"Granduncle, I didn't come here to hear you beat me." Li Zuoche complained a little and then said, "Granduncle might as well listen to my plan and see if I can solve your current predicament."
"Okay, I'll just listen." Anyway, people are here, so you might as well listen to what kind of flower this careless boy can say, Li Qi thought so in his heart, forcing Hear Li Zuoche's advice for himself.
"Find a confidant to tie you up, uncle, and just surrender to the Qin army. As long as you don't dare to scold Yang Ming, uncle, there will be no accidents." Li Zuo said.
"Is this the good idea you said that can help me solve my current predicament?" Li Qi questioned, he still had a little expectation.
I really went to the doctor in a hurry.Li Qi smiled wryly in his heart, and he didn't have any intention of blaming Li Zuoche. After all, in order to consider him, the child came from Wu'an County to the northern border heavily blocked by the Qin army. One point, at Li Zuoche's age, there are a few who can do it.
"Isn't it a good idea? My uncle is not Yang Ming's opponent, but he doesn't want to die for the country, but he is afraid that his surrender will affect the family, so there is no way out." Li Zuo said.
"I asked my uncle to find a confidant, tie you up and surrender to the Qin army, so that you don't have to fight, and you don't have to worry about your reputation. After all, uncle, you were also tied up. You wanted to fight against Qin, but you were powerless. , who can blame you?" Li Zuoche continued.
"That's it?" Even though Li Zuoche's reasoning was sound, Li Qi still only felt it was absurd. The ups and downs, honors and disgraces of hundreds of high-ranking families, is such a trifling matter for Li Zuoche?
But sometimes, even the so-called national affairs are such a trifle.
"Uncle, let's just say it's okay." Facing Li Qi's questioning, Li Zuoche was full of confidence. He believed that his uncle would agree with and implement his suggestion.
"Okay, I admit that what you said is indeed a feasible solution, but is it..." Li Qi still hesitated. The solution is a good one, but isn't it too shameless?
"It's really shameless for others to know about this kind of thing, but if others don't know, then everything is good." Li Zuoche, who knew what Li Qi was worried about, said directly.
"You kid will be great in the future." Li Qi thought for a long time, and finally let out such a sigh, he had already made up his mind.
"Is my uncle convinced by my wisdom?" Li Zuoche said with a bit of trepidation.
"Wisdom or not, I'm still not simple, but just this shamelessness will surpass most people in the world. A person can be shameless to this extent, and there are really no taboos in doing things." Li Qi looked at Li Zuoche in front of him with a strange expression, and for a moment he only wondered why there was such a freak in the Li family.
When a wonderful drama was brewing here in Yanmen County, the Qin army had already penetrated into the territory of Yanmen County, and then divided into three groups. On the one hand, Huang Teng led thousands of soldiers towards the horse camp in the south of Yanmen County. One part was led by Meng Tian to the direction of the Great Wall in the north, while Yang Ming personally led the main force and went straight to Shanzhi City.
