Things have to start a few weeks ago.
Li Neng chose the all-or-nothing style of play, and emptied all his savings in Rivet City to build a strong army, but this style of play itself was not accepted by the nobles of Rivet City. The nobles pursue stability, the richer they are, the less willing they are to take risks. No one wants to gamble with Li Neng.
Therefore, when Li Neng was concentrating on recruiting soldiers and purchasing armaments, more than half of the nobles in Rivet City chose to move eastward with their family property and cross the rugged mountain road to the fiefdom of Lize. These people are rich and popular everywhere, Liz even gave them a lot of privileges in order to keep them.
These people quietly settled in the fief of Lize and continued to live the lives of upper-class nobles.
The injection of funds has given new vigor and vitality to this pool of stagnant water, and many refugees have chosen to work here for the nobles. During a private visit on Weifu, Li Ze met a lovely and pitiful woman. She was probably the daughter of someone among the refugees. He also seemed extremely lonely among the crowd, which immediately aroused Li Ze's sympathy.
Of course, the reason why Li Ze sympathized with her was mainly because that girl was good-looking, like a lotus in clear water, like a dream in a curtain.
Liz took her to the house and asked her name.
"My family... My family's name is Aping, and my parents are honest hunters. After arriving in Lianbo City, the local ruffian Hei San fell in love with my family and wanted to marry me as my wife... My parents refused, so he brought someone to find me. Come on, my family was pushed and shoved by my parents to escape from the clutches of the devil, but I was separated from my parents because of this. Please, my lord... Please save my parents, my family will definitely form a straw ring to repay your kindness."
As she spoke, the girl named Aping rubbed her eyes and began to cry.
Her voice was soft and waxy, and Li Ze's machismo exploded instantly, and she turned into a messenger of justice to help her find the whereabouts of her parents. First, he found the corpse of Hei San, a local snake, with several iron arrows stuck in it, and then found a pair of unnamed corpses. A Ping fainted from crying when she saw it.
Li Ze arranged for a grand burial of A Ping's body, and A Ping also moved into the City Lord's Mansion logically and became a concubine of Li Ze. Although Liz hasn't been able to officially roll with her yet, but he eats tofu when he has nothing to do, and seeing her blushing, half-ashamed and half-annoyed look is not to mention very happy.
In addition, Li Yi's army borrowed from him, and Li Ze collected a wave of taxes comfortably. I don't know how many joys are coming at the same time, Li Ze couldn't help feeling that his time is really changing, money, power, and beauty are all available, and he has reached the pinnacle of his life.
When he got up this morning, Liz found Aping sitting on the edge of the bed with his back to him. Last night, the two of them drank together under the moon. Liz drank a little too much. He is still in a daze and his head hurts a little. But when he saw Aping's petite and pitiful back, Liz couldn't help turning over. He sat up, leaned forward and moved his hips back, and began his difficult career of pressing the gun.
Probably the sound of Liz getting up woke up Aping, she turned her head and smiled sweetly at Liz, revealing two dimples. Li Ze couldn't help stretching out her hand, wanting to take advantage of her, but A Ping was half-headed, and wanted to refuse and welcome.
Seeing that the house was about to be filled with beautiful scenery, A Ping suddenly raised her hand.
A dagger accurately pierced Liz's arm!
After the heart-piercing scream, there was no disturbance, and there were still only two people in the room, A Ping and Li Ze. A Ping was still smiling, put her hands together and placed them beside her cheeks, and said in a whiny voice:
"Brother Lize~ Let me introduce you again. My name is Bottle, the Anbu Assassin of Yuxi City. You can also call me [Little Green Tea] Duck~"
Liz clutched his blood-spitting arm, shrunk to the wall in horror, but the bottle leaned forward and crawled to Liz's side like a kitten. She stretched out her hand and gently pinched his sleeve with two fingers, and said as if coquettishly:
"Hey~ Well, Brother Lize~ Can I discuss something with you? Borrow two cities from you and use them, and I will return them to you soon~ It doesn't matter if you don't agree, I have already got it anyway... Hehe , I like brother Lize the most! Come on, touch your head~"
Bottle smiled and rubbed Liz's soft hair, and wiped off the blood on his hands.
Not to mention Lize, even Ferrog, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, is full of disbelief when he hears that his escape route has been cut off inexplicably.
Li Yi had already started scolding Li Ze for being a fool in the military tent next door, his voice was so loud that the soldiers resting around could hear him clearly. Fei Luoge just stared at the map on the table in a daze, and the adjutant Pettis stood beside him, watching Fei Luoge's gray head slowly shaking again and again with worry.
Finally, Feirog said heavily:
"I see."
He raised his head, looked at the newly lit sky outside, sighed, and said:
"Lead has more than a thousand troops. Fang Shisan ambushed an army on the mountain road in advance. If I try to go around Rivet City, I will hit her ambush. If I storm Rivet City, this army will be killed." Bypass me and raid Liz's fief, and cut off my way back."
So whichever you choose is wrong.
In fact, Feirog was already very careful. He specially sent a lot of people to escort food, grass and other consumables. If Fang Shisan adopted the tactic of cutting out food, he would definitely return in vain. But what Fei Luoge never expected was that Fang Shisan would directly send troops to attack Lize's territory. In this way, even if there were more guards escorting supplies and the road was cut off, it would be impossible to get through.
Pettis stared at the map on the table, still unable to understand:
"But they can't have more than 2,000 troops in their hands, and the army that bypassed us is probably only a few hundred people. How could they destroy the two cities [Wind Smoke City] and [Lianbo City] in one night? ?”
Feirog looked at Pettis and said with a wry smile:
"Yeah, I was thinking about this question just now. Now that I think about it, they probably started planning a long time ago. The nobles who moved into Lianbo City, and the refugees who heard the news from all directions, probably included them. It is impossible to check the wealth brought by the nobles one by one, and it is still easy to carry dozens of excellent armors into the city without anyone knowing. The identity of the refugees cannot be confirmed. On the night of defense, the soldiers of Yuxi City who mixed in with the refugees can put on armor and seize the city gate, and then cooperate with the army outside to launch an attack together, and it is not impossible to take two cities from Liz."
Seeing that Pettis was depressed, Ferrog cheered up and said loudly:
"Don't be too depressed, Pettis! Throwing the whip and cutting off the water is vain. Fang Shisan thought that he would win if he besieged us, but the current situation is still on our side. Fengyan City and Lianbo City are easy to attack. Even if they take it away, they won't be able to stand. The pressure from the east will continue to be given to those two cities, and we can also allocate some troops to cooperate with the attack. I want to divide the river into two parts with a ribbon , is too unrealistic."
