Chapter 293: Li's army doesn't want to fight, and Li Yi faints
The attendant knelt down with a plop and said with a sad face, "General, for some reason, the generals in the army are all passive and lazy, saying that they don't want to fight anymore."
Upon hearing this, Li Yi's first thought was that Lu Jingmo had instigated the generals in Li's army to rebel.
"How hateful! Duke Lu is such a villain."
Not only did he openly issue a challenge, but he actually used such shameless tricks behind the scenes.
"Go and wake everyone up." He ordered his attendant, who went out in response.
Li Yi sat down as if exhausted. Since the generals had been bribed and time waited for no one, he could only recruit a few from the lower levels to deal with tomorrow's battle.
A "ding ding ding" sound was heard; it was the rally bell.
After the long-time attendant finished knocking, he waited at the assembly point. Li Yi also strode to the assembly point with his personal guards.
But when I arrived, I was dumbfounded!
What happened? No one came?
In the entire assembly area, except for the burning torches all around, there were only Li Yi, a few personal guards, and a long-time attendant.
The night wind blew, bringing a cool breeze, which made Li Yi's cold heart even colder.
What the hell happened?
Wait, could it be that the hundred thousand strong army was all plotted against?
"Come here, go to the military tents and check if anything has happened."
Several bodyguards immediately ran away, and came back in about a quarter of an hour, with an indescribable look on their faces.
But in Li Yi's opinion, something really happened. He asked in a trembling voice: "Were they all knocked unconscious, or were they... killed?"
He did not dare to utter the last three words. He really could not imagine that an army of 100,000 was eliminated silently.
After several guards exchanged glances, one of them finally stood up.
"Reply General, everyone is fine and sleeping soundly."
When Li Yi heard this, a mouthful of blood rushed to his heart. Everything was fine. If everything was fine, why didn't you come to the gathering?
"You didn't wake them up?"
“Yes, but…”
"But what? Tell me!"
"Everyone said it was not yet daybreak and wanted to continue sleeping. They did not want us to disturb them, saying that if they disturbed their sweet dreams, they would be struck by lightning."
After the guard finished speaking, he lowered his head to his chest. It was so weird.
These people are soldiers who have undergone rigorous training and abide by military discipline. How could they suddenly become lazy?
After hearing this, Li Yi was completely dumbfounded.
When I heard the young general's attitude just now, I thought he was bribed, but now the soldiers under him are also like this, so the speculation of being bribed is impossible.
After all, there are too many people and it is impossible to bribe them all.
What exactly went wrong?
Wait, he realized belatedly that when he entered the military camp just now, he didn't seem to see any guards.
What are you doing? Why is it so mysterious?
No, he had to go and see it himself and confirm it carefully.
Then he woke up each soldier in each tent one by one. As a result, he, as a general, still had some face left, but only a little.
Although everyone was called up, they were all listless and stood slackly. Some were yawning constantly and even complained about the inhumanity of his job as a general.
Li Yi really spat out a mouthful of blood this time.
"General!"
When everyone saw this, they immediately panicked. Even the careless and complaining soldiers stopped being casual and looked at General Li who was being helped to sit down with concern.
The military doctor here was pinching General Li's Ren Zhong point, and the soldiers over there lowered their heads in guilt and reflected on themselves.
They are soldiers, they must follow orders!
But why did they suddenly not want to obey and fight? It's so strange.
It was obviously not like this before. What went wrong that made them change their minds?
The 100,000-strong army was all thinking about this question. People on both sides looked at each other, and saw disbelief and fear in each other's eyes.
Evil law!
They were definitely being subjected to evil magic!
No! We must fight and never let the other side succeed.
In an instant, everyone's faith was strengthened and everyone's backs straightened.
Lu Yu, who was hiding not far away, brightened up his eyes. He was very encouraged. This was a great tonic.
No matter what, just open your mouth and start sucking.
As the sky brightened, General Li's personal guards and attendants saw clearly the changes in the soldiers and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, before they could completely relax, they saw the bodies of the 100,000 soldiers collapse again like boneless loaches.
"This, this, what's going on?" The long-time attendant pointed at the 100,000 soldiers standing in a mess, his eyes full of disbelief.
I saw that some of these people didn't even want to stand anymore and just lay down on the ground.
The attendant could no longer hold on, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
The captain just fainted, and Li Yi woke up. He propped himself up and sat up. He saw the soldiers without any discipline at a glance.
He covered his chest and took a few deep breaths, and another mouthful of blood spurted out.
He lay down again, but did not faint. In a daze, he heard some words that made him want to ascend to heaven on the spot.
"Xiao Si, what is your wish?"
"My wish is to go home and have a warm bed with my wife and children."
"Don't you want to make achievements?"
"No, I'm just a farmer, I'm satisfied with taking care of the few acres of land at home."
"Alas, I thought so too. I really don't know what went wrong with me to join the army. I regret it so much."
"It's not that I have a problem, but I was forced to join the army. If I didn't come, I would be arrested. There was nothing I could do!"
"Wang Erma, the general said that the Qilin Guards are coming to attack us. Should we go and fight to the death?"
"What are we fighting for? The Qilin Guard is the strongest army in the Hua Dynasty. We are no match for them. We will die if we go there.
It would be better to surrender directly. Besides, the Qilin Guards are also our own people. What's the point of fighting them?"
"Yes, that's the truth. What's the point of fighting among our own people?"
"Then we won't fight. We will open the city gates and raise the white flag to surrender. This will avoid casualties and be considered a meritorious deed."
"Well, that's a good idea."
Li Yi tried hard to open his eyes and looked at the hazy sky, but he felt like he was dreaming.
Go to sleep! Just wake up.
After Lu Yu and Xie Huanzhu entered the space, they excitedly told their grandfather what happened outside.
Lu Jingmo was stunned. How could they do this?
However, this matter could not be accomplished by just having their army pass through the city, but they had to subdue Li Yi and prevent him from leading the army back to help Wuwang.
But it is obvious that Li Yi cannot be subdued, and it is very likely that Li's army will fight to the death.
Lu Jingmo thought about it and decided to capture and lock up all the soldiers of Li’s army so that Li Yi would have no soldiers to use.
After thinking about it, he shook his head. The method is feasible, but there are too many people and they cannot be kept locked up forever. After all, the cost of food and drink is too high.
He also had an idea to capture Li's army and then let them go home so that they would no longer serve in the army.
However, this method also has a big follow-up problem, that is, there will be fewer soldiers in the country, and no one will guard the border.
This didn't seem to work either. He pinched his brows and thought that the best way was to kill Li Yi.
But they cannot take action, because the Li family army's loyalty to the Li family is the same as the Qilin Guard's loyalty to the Lu family.
If Li Yi was killed by them, then all members of the Li family army would definitely avenge him.
There will be rivers of blood, and this is not what he wants to see.
