Chapter 9 Dongning Guest Arrival
Seeing that it was almost done, Li Xiao ordered his No.10 people to prepare the rocket. Everything was ready. Li Xiao drew a talisman in his hand and waved it towards the straw men. The straw men started to move as if they had life. The No.10 people next to him were stunned. Li Xiao manipulated more than ten thousand people to go to the south gate of Shujun.
The defenders on the Shujun city only saw an attack, so they shot with crossbow arrows. The night was dark and the wind was high, and the Three Spirits Army could not see clearly, but they kept firing arrows. Li Xiao saw that the grass man had already piled up to the city, so he ordered the number one hundred people to set rockets. The number one hundred people, each bowed three arrows, hundreds of rockets flew into the pile of grass man. When the grass man saw the fire, more than ten thousand grass man instantly ignited a fire all over the sky, with thick smoke. The Three Spirits Army on the city was panicked, but they could do nothing. Until the fire was extinguished, the army's offensive was not seen.
When Runfeng saw the fire in the south gate, he lit the beacon tower. Seeing that the beacon tower was burning vigorously, he ran to Li Xiaoding's meeting point. After Li Xiao saw that the beacon tower had caught fire, he also took everyone away.
Li Xiao and his group came to the woods at the agreed place and saw Runfeng and said, "You have been chasing and beating by the Three Spirits these days. I guess you have never slept peacefully."
Runfeng said: "To be honest with the general, since the accident at the entrance of Zi, our group has been worried day and night, and has never slept peacefully or had a full meal. It was not until after meeting the general that he felt much more at ease."
Li Xiao said: "Everyone is persevering for a night. Tomorrow, we will drink and eat meat in Dongning Mansion, and we will have enough pancakes."
After hearing Li Xiao's words, everyone swallowed their saliva so much that they greedily. Seeing this, Li Xiao said, "March quickly, Dongning Prefecture Office."
Li Xiao, Runfeng and others walked all night and came to the wall of Dongning Mansion. They saw a banner with the word "Li" hanging on the wall of Dongning. Li Xiao knew that several senior brothers had succeeded. Li Xiao brought everyone to the wall, and heard someone on the wall say, "Open the city gate." Li Xiao looked up and saw that the four senior brothers were all standing on the wall.
Li Xiao and others entered the city and saw Po Jun and Changzhi and said, "Two senior brothers, thank you for your hard work."
Po Jun smiled and said, "Xiao'er, your second and fourth brothers have told us what you have done these days. They really did not embarrass the master. If it weren't for your lure from the mountain, how could you win Dongning without any effort? When we broke the city, there were less than two thousand defenders in the city. Your four senior brothers are old and are not as good as you in terms of wisdom and martial arts."
"Senior Brother, don't say that. I've been here all the way, thanks to the second and fourth brothers," Li Xiao said respectfully.
Changzhi said: "Senior Brother, please don't exchange greetings. Thank you for your hard work all the way. Come to the city quickly. I have arranged the meal to fill my stomach. We are discussing the next step."
After hearing what Changzhi said, Li Xiao and his group entered the inner city, and for a while, a soldier ran over and said softly to Li Xiao: "General, you have already found out clearly. When Dongning broke through the city, all the people followed He Feng and retreated to Chen Youguan. Except for some soldiers who died, there were no other casualties."
Li Xiao nodded and said, "You go to Chen You and ask me about a girl named 'Yinger'. This person calls He Dongxu, the son of He Fengzai, a senior brother. I only know this, go and inquire quickly."
The man nodded and left. Li Xiao filled his stomach and went to the government office to visit the four senior brothers. He ordered people to call Runfeng and Lu Yongsheng. Li Xiao said to Lu Yongsheng: "Yongsheng, I see you being smart. Go and choose more people and come out of the four gates of Dongning. Within a radius of 100 miles, I will say that I, Li Xiao, have led my army to capture Dongning Mansion. I will stay here for three days and start three days later. If I can't see anyone, I will shout."
Lu Yongsheng nodded and retreated. No one else knew what Li Xiao intended. At this time, Changzhi asked: "Xiao'er, since the Three Spirit Army entered the country, this place has been deserted. Why are you?"
Li Xiao said: "There is no shortage of heroes near Dongning. I want to recruit talents and absorb some heroes from the world to use it for me."
The four masters nodded, "Well, Xiao'er has the idea of doing things by himself, let him go," Duanhun murmured.
The next day, Li Xiao and four senior brothers, Runfeng and others were discussing how to defend Dongning. When the Three Spirits Clans were bound to come, a messenger ran in and said, "The leader of the Shouchang Gang, Wan Fang, led three thousand gangs to surrender to see General Li."
Li Xiao stood up and said, "Please"
As soon as Li Xiao finished speaking, the four senior brothers looked at Li Xiao together, and Po Jun said with a stern face: "What's going on with Xiao'er? Didn't you get rid of the Shouting Gang?"
Li Xiao looked at Po Jun and said, "Senior Brother, this is how it is."
"Nonao, you wrote a letter back to the mountain three years ago, saying that you have already given the first gang a house. What is the explanation? Don't you know that the first gang has done many evil things? They bully men and women, and they are full of evil. You dare to deceive your master?"
"Senior Brother, I..." Po Jun was about to interrupt Li Xiao, but Changzhi stopped him and said, "Senior Brother, please let Xiao'er finish his words."
Li Xiao glanced at Changzhi and said, "That's right. Three years ago, I did kill the leader of the Shouchang Gang. Before I went to Shouchang Gang, I asked the local people that the Shouchang Gang was indeed a regular gang in the early years, and it was a business and transportation. But later he took office as a new gang leader, and it changed. I thought it might be the matter of this new gang leader, so I killed the gang leader. After I killed him, I found that Wan Fang, the child of their old gang leader, was imprisoned by him, so I saved this person. Through contact, I found that this person was not bad, so I asked him to lead the gang back to justice. I wrote a letter back to the mountain saying that the evil Shouchang Gang had been eliminated. Several senior brothers, have you heard of the Shouchang Gang doing evil in the past three years?"
Pojun looked at the others and said, "It is true that he is not doing evil, but the country is easy to change and his nature is difficult to change. If you want to accept them as the army, you must take them seriously."
After hearing this, Li Xiao nodded and said, "That's natural, senior brother, don't worry."
It was not too late, and the messenger brought in a man. This person was Wan Fang. Wan Fang was in his thirties, tall and thin, and looked gentle. He walked to Li Xiao, folded his fists and bowed, "I learned that his benefactor had broken through Dongning, and Wan Fang was not too lazy to neglect him. All the gang members came to join him. Since the Three Spirits entered the pass, I have led the gang members to fight with him. I originally wanted to come to Dongning to join the army, but he was afraid that He Chengshou would refuse him, so he fought on his own. Today, the benefactor got the city, and Wan Fang thought that the benefactor could be stored."
"Brother Wan, it's great that you can come to help me. I ordered people to spread the news just to let you righteous men come and support me," said Li Xiao.
