Rebirth Zhu Yuanzhang's King Summoning System

Chapter 84 The Golden Lion Banner

"General, please speak clearly." Li Siqi put down the kettle in his hand, clasped his fists with both hands, his face was full of sincerity.

Wang Baobao picked up his cup and took a sip of his tea, and said in a calm manner: "Cultivate the plank road in the open, keep the warehouse in the dark, make false promises, and accept it when you see it."

Li Siqi frowned even tighter: "I don't quite understand what you mean."

Wang Baobao smiled, with a sly gleam in his eyes: "What is the biggest threat to you now? One is the veteran courtiers who support Marshal Chahan, and they want you to be buried for Marshal every minute. The second is the emperor's suspicion. Once you return to Dadu and meet with the Seventh Prince, no one can say what kind of conspiracy you will concoct. Therefore, you will surely die when you go back. It is estimated that you have been killed before you reach Dadu. The Royal Battalion was killed. You must know that the provinces along the way from here to Dadu are all in the territory of Marshal Chahan. Those officials stationed there will miss such a good opportunity to do meritorious deeds? If you want to survive, You just have to stay."

"Stay?" Although Li Siqi had already guessed Wang Baobao's intention, but now, he couldn't find a reason to refute him.

"Yes, stay here. I led the army to attack Yingzhou City, and you led people to ambush the rebels who came to reinforce. We cooperate with each other and fight together. If I, the king, will protect you, Marshal Chahan, who dares to touch you ?After we completely put down the traitors in the south of the Yangtze River, you have outstanding military exploits. How dare those veterans in the court say anything? At that time, you are the seventh prince in name, but in fact, all the military power is under my unification Under the arrangement, the emperor will naturally not have any doubts about you. Instead, he will give you an official title, give you good land and a beautiful house, so that you can take care of yourself for the rest of your life."

It has to be said that Wang Baobao is not only good at fighting, but also has first-class control over people's hearts.A few words have completely broken the line of defense in Li Siqi's heart, directly illuminating the darkest place in his heart.

Almost without any thought, Li Siqi knelt down on the ground immediately, cupped his hands and said: "Li Siqi, the last general, and the troops under his command, obey the command of the general!"

"Okay." Wang Baobao stretched out his hand to help Li Siqi up, with a smile in his eyes, "General Li can put the world first and voluntarily give up the move of returning to the capital to be sealed. It is really noble and sincere. I will edit a book for the emperor and explain the reason. Let no one misunderstand General Lee's loyalty."

Li Siqi thanked him again and again, the cold sweat on his back already wet his clothes.

Wang Baobao stepped out of the commander's tent with a smile, got on his horse, and said to Li Siqi who was sent out: "General Li, we will meet later."

After he swung his whip and urged the horse, the conspiratorial arc on the corner of his mouth became wider and wider.

Li Siqi, oh Li Siqi, after this battle is over, you will be completely plunged into the abyss beyond redemption.Don't forget, you lost Minmin!When the time comes, as long as Minmin bites back, safekeeping will ruin your reputation!

On Yingzhou City, Liu Futong looked at the campfire in the distance, his brows were furrowed into two knots, and the deputy general beside him asked puzzledly: "Deputy commander, the Yuan army's siege city, which was dozens of times larger than this scale, didn't see you before." So anxious. This time, why are you so worried? To be honest, there are only tens of thousands of people in the city, which is not enough for our Yingzhou uprising army."

Liu Futong's gaze became sharp instantly, he pointed at the flag in the Yuan army camp in the distance, and said coldly: "Do you see what totem is painted on that flag?"

The staff officer with good eyes responded, "There is a golden lion on the flag."

"Yes." Liu Futong nodded, his skinny and dark face showing some vicissitudes of life, "Since the Jiangnan Uprising, neither Xu Shouhui nor Guo Zixing have ever won a battle under the banner of this golden lion. The last time Guo Zixing was arrested was The handiwork of the owner of this golden lion flag.”

Liu Futong's voice was not loud, these words seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, without the slightest emotion, no emotion could be heard, on the contrary, they aroused quite a reaction among the surrounding crowd.

"What? Marshal Guo Zixing of Haozhou City lost to this army?"

"Even Xu Shouhui couldn't take advantage of it? His Four King Kongs are very powerful."

"Who is the owner of this golden lion flag? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

The surrounding discussion became louder and louder. Liu Futong coughed twice, stretched out his hand to stop everyone's discussion, and said loudly: "In the Mongolian tribe, a lion slaughter meeting is held every five years. The selection of Mongolian warriors is actually a competition for the imperial court to determine the champion of martial arts. In the earliest lion slaughter conference, it was indeed to kill lions with bare hands, but later, more and more Mongolian warriors were able to kill lions with bare hands. After being selected, the lions raised by the imperial court within five years were not enough for the shortlisted warriors to kill. Therefore, the lion slaughter meeting became a massacre meeting. The shortlisted warriors were unarmed, and the winner who finally stood on the field was awarded the red lion flag .If the winner is a relative of the emperor, he will be awarded the Golden Lion Banner."

Liu Futong's explanation made everyone gasp. Although they didn't know much about the court's selection system, they had heard about the bloody incident that spread across the country a few years ago.The rare martial arts prodigy of the White Lotus Sect has experienced the midsummer and bitter cold. After visiting the famous teachers and obtaining the true biography of each school, he went to Dadu to participate in the selection of the champion of martial arts, and finally won the first place. When the assassination was about to succeed, he was blocked by a Mongolian young man who rushed in, and his body was torn in half by the opponent with his bare hands.The lion flag back then naturally also fell into the hands of that young man.Thinking of these old events, the staff officers looked at the golden lion flag under the city with a little more complicated emotions, mixed with anger, unwillingness, and awe.

Liu Futong pulled the cloak on his shoulders: "In the past, Marshal Han led us, and the soldiers were highly cohesive. They dared not die when they charged behind the marshal? Now, Marshal Han is gone, leaving Lin Er alone to support the overall situation. Although he is in the supreme position, he is still young after all, and his prestige in the army... In short, our morale is incomparable to what it used to be."

Although Liu Futong swallowed part of his words, the surrounding staff still understood what he wanted to express and nodded in agreement.

"Deputy Marshal, Yingzhou City is our home. No matter what, Yuan soldiers come to our door, we have to follow. Even if it is dead, we have to bite him off! I don't believe it, this golden lion The owner of the flag has three heads and six arms, and there are many heroes in Yingzhou City, under your leadership, we will definitely knock out his lion's teeth!"

Before Liu Futong could speak, the guards stepped forward to report: "The deputy commander, Marshal Guo Zixing of Haozhou City, the leader of Huangzhou City Xu Shouhui, Marshal Zhang Shicheng, the leader of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Salt Merchant Group, and Marshal Chen Youliang of the Jiangxi Legion sent people to ask whether they are sure to face Wang Baobao's army. , They are ready to provide full assistance!"
