"I really don't mean that..."

When Dong Liangjun looked as if he wanted to squeeze into the crowd of Liang Ji and Li He, Li He was still trying to explain to the soldiers who were joking around.

Of course, he knew that the soldiers at the bottom had no fun on weekdays, so he liked to join in the fun, but he really didn't mean to tease Liang Ji in public.

After a little rest of the hustle and cheering around, he quickly explained: "Everyone, please explain that the reason why I chose Shaoliang to fight for Shaoliang is because Shaojun accepted my advice..."

Fortunately, the soldiers also wanted to know Li He’s real thoughts, and gradually became quiet, which made Li He’s voice spread.

"That day, Sima Zhai took me to Shaoliang City. I didn't know that Shaoliang's monarch was actually a... Haha, in short, there was some small misunderstanding at that time."

"I don't know what misunderstanding?"

The soldiers around them started to make excuses, and they were interested in this kind of thing.

In view of everyone's request, Li He told everyone about his first meeting with Liang Ji, and the soldiers laughed or blew whistles.

Liang Ji seemed to have forgotten her shyness for the time being, and she covered her face and looked at Li He, her eyes flashing with cunning, as if she also recalled the scene of that day and smirked secretly.

She did not deliberately conceal her identity that day, because Li He himself recognized her identity wrong.

Li He did not pay attention to Liang Ji's expression and sincerely told everyone what he thought at that time: "... Like you, Li also has ambitions in his heart and wants to do something big, but the premise is to meet a wise ruler... When Zhai Sima took me to Shaoliang City that day, I was thinking, if the king of Shaoliang could accept my persuasion, don't compromise and resist Qin bravely, then I would fight for Shaoliang; on the contrary, if this king was afraid of the Qin army and was unwilling to accept my advice, then I would plan for myself, anyway, Shaoliang would be annexed by Qin State sooner or later."

These honest words made the soldiers around him nodded repeatedly.

"It's the result..."

Li He turned his head and looked at Liang Ji, and said with a smile: "Young Master accepted my advice. Even if I asked her to come forward and beg the people of the whole country in person, or even ask her to come to the battle in person, she would happily agree, swear to Shaoliang and swear to advance and retreat together for the people of the whole country... I am fortunate to meet such a wise ruler, how can I not fight for her?"

The soldiers nodded suddenly and looked at Liang Ji.

They also saw Liang Ji's performance these days. This girl who would cry for them and play the piano for them. Whenever the Qin army attacked the city, she would stand in front of the city gate tower until the Qin army retreated. Although she was just standing there, given her age and her identity, it was indeed valuable.

Not to mention that General Li Wubai was willing to fight for Shaoliang and for this young king, they were also willing to fight for him.

This is not only the soldiers of Shaoliang, but also the soldiers of Wei.

If most of the Wei soldiers had just thought Liang Ji was cute before, then after Liang Ji nodded and expressed his willingness to accept them and their family, the Wei army general's love for this girl has increased a lot.

"Li Wubai General, is it just like this? Do you have no other thoughts about Shaojun?"

Suddenly, a sound rang out of the crowd.

The crowd around was stunned, and then there was a burst of cheers, and the tide of sound was enough to drown the entire Dongliang City.

Amid the sound of cheering, Liang Ji once again covered her hot cheeks with both hands.

Li He was also embarrassed, waved his hands repeatedly, turned his head inadvertently to look at Liang Ji, but saw that although Liang Ji covered her face with both hands, she could vaguely see her shining eyes in the gap between her fingers.

"Well..."

Looking at those eyes, even Li He didn't know what to answer.

Admit it, it's not a good thing. He is clearly here to boost morale; if he doesn't admit it, it's a bit self-deception.

Just when he was embarrassed, Dong Liangjun squeezed away the crowd with a calm face, walked to Liang Ji, and stared at Li He intently.

Seeing this, the soldiers around him cheered for Li He.

"Don't be afraid, General Li Wubai, isn't it Dong Liangjun!"

"That's it! Snatch the young master!"

"Hahaha……"

Even though Dongliang Jun was very well-educated, he was shaking with a trembling beard by the soldiers, but he couldn't find the person who took the lead in making fun of him. Besides, even if he found him, he could not do anything to those soldiers. So he could only stare at Li He fiercely and said coldly: "Li Wubai Generals, stop at the right time."

Li He also felt that it was a bit unreasonable to make it happen. He turned his gaze awkwardly, coughed and said to everyone: "Let's talk about something else..."

"General Li Wubai retreated..."

"Hahaha……"

"Don't be afraid, really!"

The soldiers around laughed.

Even Li He felt very embarrassed, and coughed and pressed his hands, signaling everyone to calm down first.

It has to be said that Li He had won the support of these soldiers with his bravery, and his honest answer just now won the support of the soldiers. Although everyone laughed at him for not daring to face Dongliang Jun, he gradually became quiet.

At this moment, Li He pondered for a moment, and suddenly mentioned the moment when he led the surprise troops to burn the Qin army's siege equipment two days ago: "...That day, I took the surprise troops to burn the Qin army's siege equipment. When the fox handed me a can of oil, I suddenly thought, if I put the fish or slices of meat in the boiling oil and fry it, would it feel a different feeling to eat it..."

As soon as these words were said, let alone the soldiers present were stunned, even Dong Liangjun looked over with a strange expression.

Everyone thought that Li He mentioned the attack on the Qin army's garrison that day, and wanted to say something bold and ambitious. Unexpectedly, this was what he said - when you attacked the garrison of the 200,000 Qin army, what you thought was that when you were frying fish or fried meat?

Shi Hufei and his son-in-law Tian Yiyi stood in the distance and watched. When he heard this, Hu Fu was worried and laughed loudly: "This is simple. There is still some remaining oil to defend the city today, so you can try it immediately!"

Dong Liangjun looked at Hu Fei in the distance with a surprised look and nodded slightly.

So, several members of the Fox clan immediately brought a small tripod full of oil and placed it in the center of the field. Then they lit firewood and poured a plate of raw oil into the tripod.

The oil in the cauldron was originally the fat of livestock. In order to prevent it from solidifying, the small cauldron was originally roasted with charcoal fire. Therefore, the oil in the cauldron became hot and made a sizzling sound. The fragrance that came to his face quickly spread, causing the soldiers around to swallow their saliva.

Seeing this, Li He took the chopsticks handed over by a member of the Fox clan, snatched a piece of meat from the small tripod, and put it in his mouth to chew it in front of everyone.

There was a silence around, and many people could hear the crackling sound from Li He's mouth, and swallowed again.

"how?"

Hu Fei walked up to ask.

"Uncle Fei will know if you try it." Li He handed the chopsticks in his hand to Hu Fei.

For him, frying and barbecue are not unusual. In addition, there is no sauce, so the taste is actually just like that. But when I ate the first time I had fried meat, I felt my eyes lit up. Before I could swallow it, I covered my mouth and said, "It's fragrant and crispy, it really has a unique taste."

Hearing this admiration, the soldiers around him couldn't sit still, and many people raised their hands and said, "Can we give it a try?"

Li He waved and said, "Of course, come... don't come here, come a few first."

The soldiers who were clicked walked forward happily, and each handed a handful of chopsticks to grab meat in the oil cauldron. Although each person said it was only one piece, it made a choke on the ground, making the soldiers around him swallowed their saliva.

Is this how you can improve your morale?

Even though Dongliang Jun was still a little resentful towards Li He, he couldn't help but feel ridiculous when he saw this, and glanced at Li He with a profound meaning.

At this time, Li He looked around the soldiers and said softly: "... Although the Qin army is crowded and powerful, I don't think they can defeat my Shaoliang, because it is unrighteous for them to invade my Shaoliang, and it is justice for us to stick to Shaoliang. Justice will definitely defeat unrighteousness!... Compared to repel the Qin army, I sometimes think more about the reconstruction after this war. When I was in charge of the Qin army, I planned to open a shop in Dongliang to sell some foods that may seem strange to you, such as fried fish and barbecue... Of course, if anyone wants to learn, I can also teach them, and the name is... Well, call it Li's Food House..."

There was a silence around. Whether it was the soldiers who had been clamoring to ask if the fried meat was delicious, or the soldiers who were gathering around the oil cauldron, they all turned to look at Li He and listened to him telling him slowly.

In fact, Li He's voice was not loud, but because the surroundings were silent, his voice could clearly reach the ears of every soldier here.

"...I also have many ideas about the reconstruction of Shaoliang after the war. For example, frequent mountain torrents, I think we can build dams in the upper reaches of Qingshui and Zhiyang to regulate mountain torrents and prevent floods as much as possible; the nearby loess plateaus were burned up by us, bare and ugly. If there is too much rain, it may cause rock landslides. This matter also needs to be wary of. I think we can build terraces on those hills. This can not only prevent soil erosion, but also increase my farmland in Shaoliang. Of course, all this requires the help of the Mo family disciples. They are both excellent thinkers and extremely outstanding masters. I want to ask them to help us improve farming tools, fishing gear, repair cities, and build roads..."

In the distance, Mo Jian, a giant Mo Jian and several Momen showed surprise on their faces.

Today, no country values ​​the Mohist philosophy and knowledge, and only needs the Mohist technology. Most of these technologies are used in military and war, which is a dislike for many Mohists.

However, Li He hoped that the Mo family disciples would help Shaoliang improve farming tools, fishing gear, and repair cities and water. This seemed to many Mo people as if they saw a glimmer of dawn in the dark clouds.

"...I also want to build an animal farm in Shaoliang, which specializes in raising poultry and livestock so that the people of the whole country can eat meat... I once told Shaojun, why would a king be a king without a citizen? If the people under the rule cannot eat enough and wear warm clothes, what is the use of such a king? After repelling the Qin army, I want to discuss with Dongliangjun and other important officials to develop agriculture and livestock so that every Shaoliang people can eat enough and wear warm clothes. They can also try such fried meat; if the food is sufficient, we can also brew some wine, but in fact I have a good alcohol tolerance..."

“…”

Dongliang Jun also looked at Li He with surprise.

He turned to look at Liang Ji, but saw Liang Ji staring at Li He with intent eyes, his face full of longing.

But this time he was not angry because he was also shocked by Li He's words.

He turned around and saw that everyone was listening quietly, listening to Li He telling about something that had nothing to do with the battle.

Among them, the soldiers of Shaoliang showed a look of yearning on their faces, while the soldiers of Wei showed envy.

After a long time, Li He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the soldiers around him: "...No one likes war, including me, but today, we are forced to fight with the Qin army here, both for survival and for the purpose of repelling the Qin army as soon as possible and rebuilding Shaoliang! And I, Shaoliang, can definitely survive!... If I lost Dongliang, I, conservative of the old beam; if I lost the old beam, I, guarded Shaoliang. At this moment, there are still tens of thousands of new soldiers in Shaoliang City doing hard training with the belief of sacrifice for the country, and no one gives up. If I guard Dongliang for one more day, the soldiers in the rear will have more training time. When I set foot on the battlefield in the future, they will die fewer people and kill more Qin people! Maybe I will die here in the battle, but our sacrifice is not meaningless, because Shaoliang will not be defeated in the end, even to the last city!... The Qin people, never stand in Shaoliang Palace and shout long live!!"

"oh--!!"

The crowd around seemed to explode, raising his arms and shouting for a long time.

The cheers even reached the Qin army's garrison, causing the Qin army generals to look at each other.
