At night, snoring sounds in the military camp one after another. Somewhere in the camp was surrounded by a small open space surrounded by foot barriers. Li Li lay on his back on the couch, looking at the stars in the sky, motionless.

Next to him, Huang Gui sat quietly, shaking his big palm fan, fanning Li Li and driving away mosquitoes, and lit the fragrance of mosquitoes and mugwort on the other side.

Seeing that Li Li was thinking, she wanted to say something enlightening, but she didn't know how to start.

Because she was so depressed.

Before, the government army lined up with the water and won a great victory. The news came back to Jiankang. The emperor was of course very happy, so the soldiers were rewarded.

Because of his outstanding performance, Li Li led his army to rush forward and defeated the enemy. He advanced to the "General Fubo", which was the leader of the eighth squad's military name.

It was separated from the "Forward General" who was the leader of the seventh squad, with a total of nine military twelfth military twelfth halberd, long sword, crown, eagle cavalry, flying, brave cavalry, defeating the enemy, defeating the enemy, and threatening the enemy.

In other words, with his performance in this battle, Li Li made his general's number cross a squad with nine military numbers.

It looks good, but considering that there are 230 military numbers in the stream, including 195 miscellaneous numbers, this promotion speed is normal.

However, Huang Feng was not depressed by this, and what made her angry was the emperor who reinforced 10,000 troops and ordered the Xichang Hou to lead the official army to continue to advance and attack Yanling.

This is different from what we had previously agreed.

"The full battle is full, 20,000 soldiers, of which 1,55 cavalry are. It's not that the force cannot be fought, but the official camp is mostly new recruits, so the chance of winning is not great if this fight is not great."

Huang Yan said slowly, with anger on his face: "I'm just camping in Jurong, and after the king-supporting troops gather, we will attack again. Now, let's attack, isn't this going to die?"

"To attack Yanling, you have to guard against enemy reinforcements. If these 20,000 troops are lucky enough to win, they will not be able to attack Jinling or Qu'a, and they will lose... Can the cavalry run, where can the infantry run?"

Huang Yan complained, but Li Li didn't say anything.

After the Taiwanese envoy arrived at the military camp today to announce the imperial edict, he looked thoughtful, and it has been like this until now. Huang Gui was worried that the beloved would be unable to think about it and vomited blood in anger, so he kept muttering.

I want to give Li Li a chance to vent his anger.

As a result, Li Li suddenly laughed: "Who allowed me to fight? As Zhang Ying said, a great victory made many people think that I can still show my might, assist the Marquis of Xichang and defeat Yanling."

"How to fight!" Huang Yan complained, "It is necessary to attack Yanling and guard against reinforcements. This is to attack the city and attack the reinforcements together, which are two things."

"If there are 5,000 cavalry among our 20,000 soldiers, it would be fine. Infantry siege the city and cavalry fight in field reinforcements, but our cavalry only has 1,500 cavalry. How can we do two things?"

"How can you know if you don't try it?" Li Li still smiled, "Three Wus are the business of many noble people. Now that Li Li has the magic, how can you not give it a try?"

"Maybe, I will really take down Yanling and force the thieves to shrink their troops. Then, the three Wus can take a breath."

Huang Yan whispered: "What to try! This battle cannot be won at all. If you lose, we will die."

"There is no need to fight this battle. The royal army has arrived in the capital one after another. After a while, the troops will be abundant!"

The more she spoke, she became more and more excited. Seeing this, Li Li felt helpless. The emperor probably could not bear the request of the ministers, so he used the troops of Xichang Hou as bargaining chips to engage in a game.

By capturing Yanling, Hou Jing could force him to shrink his troops, and at least the number of enemies facing the Three Wus was slightly smaller, so it was more likely to last for a while.

Wait until the main force of the official army arrives.

Therefore, nobles of all sizes urged the emperor to make a big gamble. If the bet is won, they will save the property of these people in Sanwu.

If you lose the bet, you will lose only if you have nearly 20,000 troops from the Xichang Hou (including the additional 10,000 troops).

These are the soldiers of the court and the emperor's soldiers, and they have nothing to do with these people.

However, when 20,000 troops attack Yanling, Hou Jing would definitely respond with all his strength. Therefore, the official army had no advantage in military strength and did not have many cavalry. They had to attack the city and attack the aid, and they had no chance of winning at all, and they had no strategic significance.

But 20,000 soldiers became bargaining chips that could be "tryed". Perhaps it was because of Li Li's outstanding performance that many people had unrealistic expectations.

Li Li magically lifted the siege of Taicheng; magically quickly attacked Shouyang and Zhongli; magically defeated the rebels with the "January Soldier";

Therefore, the "magical Li Li" will surely create another miracle, help the Xichang Hou conquer Yanling, and force the rebels to gather their troops.

But he didn't care about such adventures, which would most likely cause 20,000 soldiers to go back, leading to Jiankang facing the main attack of the rebels.

In the eyes of some people, 20,000 soldiers and the pillars of 20,000 families are just bargaining chips that "try it, maybe it can do it."

This is what makes Li Li depressed, not temporary rewards, treatment, etc.

In this era, large and small manors were everywhere, and then there were powerful people, officials, aristocratic families and strong clans.

Therefore, Li Li believes that the current social and economic structure is probably the ‘manor economy’, and that manors of all places are basically not taxed, do not undertake labor or military service.

The "human resources" in the hands of the court are all kinds of households, households, etc., which is also the main source of taxation for the court, namely the so-called "tax base".

These "tax bases" bear taxes on weekdays and provide soldiers during wartime. They can be said to be the bone marrow that produces blood in the human skeleton. They not only build a skeleton, but also provide a continuous stream of fresh blood.

However, the large and small manors with various privileges are eroding these tax bases, and countless households who cannot bear heavy taxes and labor-fed households fled, fled to large and small manors, and became dependent people.

The bone marrow was lost in large quantities, and the court gradually became fragile like a human body. The army that had finally been brought together should have been used more and more cautiously, but the emperor used it to play a game that was not practical for him.

So what if you win?

If you lose, it will hurt your muscles.

The "cornerstone" of 20,000 soldiers, 20,000 families, and 20,000 taxes (including labor and military service) is easily used because of the emperor's luck mentality.

It seems that I used my own coffin to invest in others. After that, 95% of the returns were all from others. If I lost, I would lose all my losses.

This is an economic account. As for military account, the military strategy says: War is a major event of the country, a place of life and death, and a way of survival and death.

The emperor treated the war that was related to life and death as a temporary game. If the "wave" continues, something big will happen sooner or later.

Li Li suddenly felt that under the various "puzzling operations" of the monarch and his subjects, "this big beam will be over sooner or later."

"The court is already rotten. If you want to save it, it is like holding mud on the wall." Huang Yan whispered, "Sanlang, what have you gained after working hard for a year?"

"The military name of the eighth squad, General Fubo, and the children of the gentry, what is the military name of the military name of the starting lineup? At the lowest, it is the military name of the 13th squad, and they will not even bother to be able to ride a horse!"

"If you are a family of aristocratic families, your starting point will be higher, such as General Ning Yuan of Class 23! You and them are separated by Class 14, with one hundred and forty general numbers!"

"How did they fight? How did you fight?"

"They will still be high-ranking officials after they have lost the battle. If you win the battle, the court will let you die!"

"You worked hard to kill the enemy with your soldiers and resist Hou Ni, they!"

Huang Gui became more and more excited as he spoke, so he was so unscrupulous: "Even if Hou Ni attacked Taicheng, they would have the right to be an official if they had a shameless face!"

"Drowned Yanling is to die. Why do we fight? There is no such reason!"

"It's better to pretend to be defeated, then hide your whereabouts, go back to Poyang by land, and wait for Hou Ni to attack Taicheng and disrupt the Xiao family's country!"

"When the world is in chaos, we, we fight for ourselves!"
