Chapter 166 There is me behind you, what are you afraid of?

-

Li Hailian, who was kneeling on the ground, claimed that it was.

Lian Xiaoru glanced at him and said coldly: "Okay, get up."

"No matter how capable you are, it's really not easy for you to stop Qin Ze in Zhucheng."

Hearing this, Li Hai's expression softened, and then he stood up slowly. He chuckled and said: |

"My father-in-law said that Zhucheng is too small and does not have enough troops. Tonight I entered Anyang County and passed many checkpoints before entering the outer city. I also saw the soldiers and horses that my father-in-law had placed in the outer city. It was really extraordinary. "

"This entire Anyang County is truly impenetrable. Not even a bird can fly in!"

"My father-in-law's city defense is really tight, and my son-in-law admires it!"

"When I defeat Qin Ze, please ask my father-in-law for some advice. My son-in-law will learn a little bit about it, which will be of great use in the future."

Lian Xiaoru's face soothed after these words, and the trace of unhappiness in his heart also dissipated. He chuckled and said:

"Your Majesty has appointed me as the third-grade Annan General. This Anyang County is an important town. Can't I do my best?"

"Your Majesty has built a villa in the south of the Yangtze River in recent years, and the palace is currently being renovated. Where do you think the money comes from?"

"My Anyang County accounted for 30% of the tax money going out!"

Li Hai's eyes widened, "Can Anyang County send out so much tax money? Logically speaking, Suzhou and Hangzhou are..."

Before he finished speaking, Lian Xiaoru sneered.

"What do you know? Although Anyang County is slightly inferior to Suzhou and Hangzhou, its location is important. For cities on the other side of the East China Sea, taxes and money must pass through me every year."

Li Hai nodded repeatedly.

"No wonder the city defense needs to be so tight. Isn't Anyang County the largest source of tax revenue for the treasury?"

Lian Xiaoru hummed, then smiled and said: "Yes, speaking of which, His Majesty is currently renovating the palace, but he wants me to send money there."

"Yes, Anyang County is indeed crucial. It seems that it is the right thing for me to lead the horses to Anyang County. It can also contribute to the resistance against Qin Ze." Li Hai said with a smile.

Lian Xiaoru snorted coldly, "What are your few people? How can the two hundred thousand troops in my hand be the same as your ten thousand soldiers and horses?"

"Those are soldiers and horses I personally trained!"

"Whether it is the watchtower, the urn city, or the outer tower, they are all heavily guarded. There are countless heavy crossbows set up on the outer tower!"

"A few years ago, when Daqian was still at war with foreign tribes, the Huma came with fierce force and captured several cities one after another. When they reached my Anyang County, it was difficult to go any further."

Li Hai nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, this son-in-law knows."

"The Huma army was stopped after they attacked Anyang County. After Qin Haotian put down the Southern Barbarian Rebellion, he led his army and chased the Huma all the way to the Beiku Grassland. This was how he put down the Huma Rebellion."

"Speaking of which, my father-in-law played a lot of role in this."

As soon as he said this, Lian Xiaoru frowned and said in a deep voice:

"After the Huma army arrived in Anyang County, I stopped them here for several months. They were short of food and clothing. I attacked the city several times and killed many people. They were already at the end of their strength."

"When Qin Haotian came to Anyang County, he had a strong army and was waiting for work. Then he swept the Hu horses with a crushing force and drove them to the Beiku grassland."

"Do you think he can get through without me?"

Li Hai nodded hurriedly, "I see, my son-in-law only found out the inside story today!"

"In this case, my father-in-law should be the first to put down the Huma Rebellion!"

Lian Xiaoru raised his chin slightly, squinted his eyes and said, "Oh, Qin Haotian is very sharp. I'm different from him, so I didn't say much."

"What's the use of having such a false reputation? I'm used to being indifferent."

Li Hai sighed and followed up: "Suppressing Huma was a great achievement. It is indeed a pity that my father-in-law gave away the military exploits that were easily available to him."

"If my father-in-law got this credit, he would definitely be a second-grade official today."

These words obviously greatly benefited Lian Xiaoru. He walked up to Li Hai, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"As the so-called karma fire makes gold, we just need to know it in our hearts."

Li Hai took it seriously and immediately clasped his fists and said:

"Yes! My son-in-law has learned a lesson!"

Lian Xiaoru said calmly: "Now that you are coming from Zhucheng, Qin Ze will probably take Zhucheng within a few days, and he will definitely come straight to Anyang County before long."

"You are my son-in-law, but it doesn't look good on the outside if you lose Zhucheng like this. Do you understand?"

Li Hai's face turned red and he nodded in shame.

"Father-in-law, please give my son-in-law a chance to make amends!"

Lian Xiaoru nodded slightly and said: "You don't have many soldiers and horses, so you are stationed in Wengcheng. If Qin Ze comes to attack, you and the soldiers and horses in the watchtower will resist Qin Ze."

Li Hai lowered his head but did not reply immediately.

Lian Xiaoru raised his eyebrows and immediately shouted when he saw the hesitant look on Li Hai's face:

"What? Are you afraid of being in Wengcheng?"

"You are not the only one. There are countless archers on the watchtower, and there are also my soldiers and horses in the urn city."

"Qin Ze hasn't come here yet, and you've never fought with him. Why are you so afraid? What are you afraid of?"

Li Hai's expression changed, he forced out a forced smile and said, "No, it's not that I'm afraid, it's just..."

Before he finished speaking, Lian Xiaoru angrily shouted: "Just what? Why are you so timid?"

"There's me behind you, what are you afraid of?"

"Even if Qin Haotian comes back from the dead and comes with hundreds of thousands of Red Flame troops to attack the city, I won't be afraid! This kid Qin Ze is only twenty, how much experience does he have in attacking cities?"

"He defeated Hu Ma and was defeated. I also know that his cavalry is powerful, but that was on the grassland! If he came to attack the city, that would be another story!"

"Hmph, not to mention the barbican, he can't even break through the watchtower!"

Hearing this, Li Hai quickly raised his head and said with a smile:

"Father-in-law, since the defense is so tight, you should let me guard the outer city. No, the inner city is best."

"After all, my soldiers and horses are not familiar with this Wengcheng. Your soldiers are better at fighting in the city road."

Lian Xiaoru rolled his eyes at Li Hai, shook his head and snorted:

"Go down!

Li Hai nodded with a smile and cupped his hands towards Lian Xiaoru. Before leaving, he turned around and asked carefully: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law is going to the inner city? Or the outer city?"

"Outer city!" Lian Xiaoru scolded with a livid face.

After receiving this answer, Li Hai's expression softened and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

After leaving the house and looking at the full moon in the sky, Li Hai raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Then he looked back at the door of the house, his expression changed, and he cursed secretly:

"Old guy, you look down on me and ask me to guard the Wengcheng!"

"If I die, your daughter will be a widow!"

"With just a few words of praise, you reached the sky? You are brave and you are not afraid. Then you are treated like a coward after being beaten by Huma!"

"Why don't I see you leading the troops to hunt down Hu Ma? There are a lot of young and shameless people who are putting money on themselves, ah!"

After cursing a few words in his mind, Li Hai whipped the horse. The horse was hurt, and after neighing, it took Li Hai and ran away...

At the same time, in Huaiyao City.

In the large tent of the military camp, Qin Ze was looking at the map of Kantu illuminated by candlelight.
