Perhaps a certain bond of fate began at this time, and he became the one to help the sixth prince again.
After a while, Shitou also came back with the people he recruited. Unexpectedly, after being away for a few months, he actually brought back hundreds of people.
This really surprised Meng Li.
Shitou told Meng Li honestly:
"I told them that it is better to follow the master. The master has a gentle personality and will not treat them badly."
Meng Li smiled:
"Thank you."
If we don't get Lingzhou City from Ji Yuan, we won't have the money to support these hundreds of people.
This was their first team. Since Shi Shi was so good at recruiting people, Meng Li let him go out again.
In fact, there are still people recruiting people outside, namely the slaves that Meng Li bought. They were sent out by Meng Li, but they haven't come back yet.
My brother became a soldier driller. His previous official position was that of a military attache. Although he has physical problems now, his theory and brain are still there.
The elder brother was worried that he would not be able to suppress those people due to physical reasons. After all, having too many people meant that it would be difficult to discipline them. Meng Li said calmly:
"If you can't suppress it, call me over. Whoever can beat me will be the boss."
Li Junyi was surprised for a moment, then remained silent for a few seconds and said:
"Sister, when did you... know how to use martial arts?"
Meng Li sighed: "The more you experience, the more you'll get good at it."
All in all, it was a very perfunctory statement, and Li Junyi didn't ask any more questions. After passing on these words, none of them dared to really fight Meng Li, so they could only endure it if they were not convinced.
However, Li Junyi has his own personality charm, which gradually makes people convinced.
Shitou and the rest of the people brought back people one after another, and the team kept growing.
The number of people turned from a few hundred to thousands, and Meng Li went out in person to recruit some small nearby forces that were kings of the mountains.
I'll tell you the truth, and if you listen, just follow me obediently and lead the team, and you'll be treated favorably.
If you are unreasonable, I will beat you until you agree. Yes, Meng Li is so domineering in this matter.
If you are not domineering, nothing will happen.
More than half a year after leaving the last era, Meng Li's side has grown to tens of thousands of people.
Jiyuan has been at war, and sometimes the news is not conveyed in time. When the news that Meng Li had assembled a team of tens of thousands of people reached him, Fu Tiduo became depressed.
I really can’t underestimate this woman, she actually has the ability to attract tens of thousands of people!
Then a few days later, he received another news saying that the imperial court planned to send people to attack Lingzhou City.
Because everyone had been searching for the sixth prince among the people in the south for a long time, but could not find it. The emperor was angry and said that it would be over if he just took Lingzhou City back to see if the previous prince was there
Wouldn't that be much more convenient than searching for the Sixth Prince all over the world? You can also take back a city by the way.
Ji Yuan had been expecting the imperial court to attack Lingzhou City. If Lingzhou City was under his protection, the imperial court would not be able to defeat Lingzhou City, but he would not take action until the woman begged him.
Thinking of the woman's team of ten thousand people, Ji Yuan was a little moved. His action was not in vain. It would be better if he could get this woman to hand over the team of ten thousand people.
Ji Yuan had a good plan and wrote to Meng Li about the imperial court's plan to attack Lingzhou City and capture the former prince.
Although it was not stated explicitly in the letter, Meng Li could tell from between the lines of Ji Yuan's letter that the real message of Ji Yuan's letter should be: Come and beg me, beg me!
She was not surprised that the imperial court wanted to beat her. After all, there was a prince from the previous dynasty here, making the current emperor feel like he was having trouble.
And can he withstand the imperial team with his own strength
She unfolded the map and stood in front of it for a long time, marking the location of the era and calculating in her mind.
Meng Li then wrote back a letter, greeting Ji Yuan cordially, and asked him what he planned to do next and in which direction he would attack.
Ji Yuan thought that Meng Li asked him this because he was worried that he would go too far and that he would not be able to support him in time, so he simply told Meng Li that he was going further away from Lingzhou City and would attack Dongzhou.
Let’s see if you are panicking or not.
After reading the letter, Meng Li sneered, and then sent someone to spread the news to the court that Ji Yuan was going to attack Yongzhou.
Ji Yuan lied to her by saying that he went to Dongzhou, but in the plot, he actually went to Yongzhou, and it went very smoothly, because at this time in the plot, the court did not send anyone to attack his territory.
She personally wrote a letter to the people who came to encircle and suppress her. In the name of a strange counselor, she said that if she wanted to deal with the prince, she should deal with General Ji first.
It is said that General Ji is heading towards Yongzhou. If you don't stop General Ji from conquering Yongzhou and insist on attacking Lingzhou City, you will lose Yongzhou.
Even if you take back Lingzhou City, it won't be of much use. The gain outweighs the loss, and you may not be able to capture the prince.
And Yongzhou is an important point for water transportation. Losing Yongzhou would mean that the imperial court would have one less retreat, and the water team they led would be basically useless.
If they lose Yongzhou, they will lose several waterways.
Which one is more important, you decide for yourself.
This made the people in the court very angry. What kind of counselor is this? He talks nonsense all day long.
They also told us that they were going to attack Yongzhou, but I always felt that this was a lie.
There might be a trap.
No, there must be a trap.
But what if it's true? If they really went to attack Yongzhou, but he and his troops did not go to support or intercept the Ji family's army, and Yongzhou was taken away, I was afraid that I would have to go back with my head in my hand.
In battles, we always have to go to support when we are close. We can't pretend we didn't see it. It would be too late for the imperial court to send troops towards Yongzhou. If Yongzhou is in a hurry, they will be the first to go into battle.
It's better to inquire and see if it's really heading towards Yongzhou.
This inquiry is true.
This is really...
So Meng Li received the news in Lingzhou City that Ji Yuan had started a fight with people from the imperial court on the way.
Moreover, Ji Jiajun was less prepared this time and suffered a loss.
Li Junyi frowned and said in confusion:
"Did Ji Yuan and the others take their people to Yongzhou? How could they encounter the team coming from the capital towards Lingzhou City?"
Meng Li said calmly:
"It's very simple. They took a detour and deliberately headed towards Yongzhou."
"Where are you going safely?" Li Junyi asked puzzledly.
Meng Li said with a smile: "If they knew in advance that Ji Yuan was going to attack Yongzhou, they would definitely go there."
As long as she delivers the news, the other side will definitely pay more attention to confirm it.
"Who said that? Is there a traitor?" Li Junyi asked with wide eyes.
Meng Li: "...I don't know about that."
Li Junyi said with great regret:
"Winning Yongzhou will benefit us tremendously and make us no longer so passive. This... ugh!"
"I don't know if Ji Yuan and the others can successfully escape. It is said that the two sides are still in a stalemate. Maybe there will be a bloody battle before the matter is over."
