Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

Most of the Li family members have strong facial features, especially Li Bochang.

His imperial face had clear lines, as if carved with a knife and an axe, exuding a murderous aura.

On the battlefield, not many people like to wear gold armor, mainly because the gold armor is too dazzling and makes it easy for the enemy to target.

But Li Bochang is now wearing a golden armor. Even in the general's mansion, he only took off the armor's arm guards and wrist guards.

There is also a man in golden armor, Chu Tianjiao.

It's just that Chu Tianjiao's golden armor was a hairpin gift given to her by Lu Yu. Chu Tianjiao's golden armor is so golden that when he puts it on, he looks like a walking golden man.

Because it was too showy, Chu Tianjiao only wore it once during last spring hunting and then shelved it.

The golden armor Li Bochang wore was also given to him by others when he was young. Looking at the thick layer of patina on it, it can be inferred that the time when this pair of golden armor was made was probably more than ten years ago.

From the outside, this golden armor is no longer dazzling. Li Bochang never thought of taking it and frying it again to restore the color of the golden armor.

He prefers the current color of the golden armor. The dull golden color hides some unknown origins of wealth.

From the day the Dongyi people appeared outside Jiaozhou City, Li Bochang was holding his breath.

Li Bochang not only patrols the city walls every day, but also conducts extensive searches for spies in the city.

Because Jiaozhou is close to Dongyi and had business contacts with Dongyi in the past, no one can tell how many spies are buried in the city.

Last year, the Liang family, the largest family in Jiaozhou, was found to have colluded with the Dongyi people.

The son of the Liang family, Liang Cheng, had already become the governor of a state, but in the end he defected to the Dongyi people.

Liang Cheng deceived the trust of Qin Mo, the guard of Yongping Pass, and killed Qin Mo, almost causing the loss of Yongping Pass.

If Chu Tianjiao hadn't arrived at Yongping Pass in time, it's really hard to say what the outcome of last year's war would have been.

Li Bochang is also worried that the same thing will happen, so he has been extremely careful recently whether traveling or in the general's mansion.

Indeed, he found a lot of spies with different identities, including ordinary vendors, low-level military officers, and some women hiding in the back houses of officials.

After a major purge, Li Bochang finally felt relieved.

The eldest son of the Li family, Li Mao, hurried back from the tower and reported: "Father, when the Dongyi people attacked the city today, they used very powerful siege crossbows.

Not only can arrows be shot directly into the city from outside the city.

There was poison powder on the arrow.

Our people didn't know at first that when the arrows were shot down, the packets of poisonous powder exploded, and many people were poisoned and suffered heavy casualties. "

Dongyi people are good at poisoning, which gives Li Bochang a headache.

When he heard that one of his confidant generals was also poisoned, Li Bochang remembered the packet of antidote that Chu Tianjiao gave him last year.

He didn't know if the antidote was still effective, so he found it and gave it to Li Mao.

"Show this antidote to the military doctor to see if it works. If it works, there is a formula in it. Follow the formula and quickly prepare the antidote."

Li Mao took the medicine bag and left in a hurry.

Li Bochang's feelings for the Chu family were very subtle.

On the one hand, he was a competitor deliberately cultivated by the emperor to compete with the Chu family. On the other hand, as a soldier, he still had a hint of respect for the Chu family in his heart.

When the emperor ordered his daughter to marry Lu Zhaoling, he had no choice but to choose Lu Zhaoling.

Secretly, he also hopes that Lu Zhaoling can become the prince and inherit the throne, so that the power of the Li family can be increased to a higher level.

But at the same time, he was worried that Lu Zhaoling would fail, so he allowed his fourth son Li Kuang to go to the northwest and join the Chu family army.

If the Li family were destroyed on Lu Zhaoling's boat, Li Kuang might still have a way to survive if he followed the Chu family.

When Lu Zhaoling wanted to assassinate Chu Tianjiao, Li Bochang did not know about the fact that Li Jin, the second son of the Li family, helped Lu Zhaoling.

If he knew about it, he would definitely not let Li Jin get involved.

Li Bochang would not take risks if there was no absolute benefit.

Facts have proved that Lu Zhaoling was unable to support him in the end, causing Li Jin to be suspended from his job and ruining one of his daughters in vain.

The Li family quickly cut off from Lu Zhaoling, but Ling Hanbing handed over to Chu Tianjiao the evidence that Li Bochang had wiped out the entire Ling family.

Chu Tianjiao secretly arranged for people to spread the evidence.

Fortunately, Li Bochang preserved the evidence of the Ling family's collusion with the Dongyi people, and was able to exonerate himself.

The successive blows made Li Bochang a little discouraged. Now he just wants to fight a good war and no longer participate in the power struggles in the capital.

The General's Mansion in Jiaozhou City also had a war room. Li Bochang stayed alone in it all morning. He also hoped to find a way to break the situation like Chu Tianjiao.

There are only 150,000 troops on the entire Eastern Front.

Among them, there are 80,000 in Jiaozhou, 30,000 in Linhai City, 20,000 in Yongping Pass, and 20,000 in Quyang Pass.

Dongyi claimed to send 200,000 troops this time. Li Bochang did not have the advantage of troops. If he wanted to break the situation, he must first consume the enemy's troops like Chu Tianjiao, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

What depressed Li Bochang the most was that Shangguanfeng was very cunning. This time he had no intention of dividing his troops. The two hundred thousand troops were all concentrated outside Jiaozhou City, which made it difficult for him to operate.

After thinking hard for a long time, he couldn't come up with a good solution. Li Bochang had to walk out of the war room and prepare to go to the tower to take a look.

In a siege war, as long as the city wall is tall enough and strong enough, and as long as he can't defend the city, it will ultimately cost the enemy even more.

But keeping doing this made Li Bochang feel angry.

When Ruiniang, the steward of the General's Mansion, saw Li Bochang finally coming out, she went up to greet him and said, "Uncle, let's have lunch first."

Li Bochang waved his hand and said, "I'm not going to eat anymore. I'll go to the tower to take a look first, and then I'll have a meal when I get back."

After saying that, he took steps to walk out.

Ruiniang quickly took out a letter and handed it to Li Bochang and said: "Uncle, there is a secret message from the capital for this slave."

Li Bochang raised his eyes and glanced at Ruiniang, and asked casually as if by accident: "Is your family okay now?"

Ruiniang was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned a little pale. She reluctantly thanked her and bowed and said, "Thank you uncle for taking care of me. They are living well in Kyoto."

Li Bochang sighed: "Rui Niang, how many years have you been following me?"

Ruiniang had calmed down and replied: "Fifteen years."

Li Bochang's eyes were deep and he could not see any emotion. He seemed to be just describing a fact and said:

"It turns out that it has been fifteen years since that person sent you to me."

When Ruiniang heard these words, she had a different meaning, and Ruiniang felt a chill running down her spine.

Li Bochang opened the letter, and after reading it, he sneered: "It's already at this point, and that person is still thinking about fighting for power and profit. Royal people, it's really disgusting!"

Ruiniang was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and knelt down, "Uncle, I have been loyal to you for the past fifteen years. I will never report anything that I cannot report to the capital without authorization. I ask my uncle for your warning."

Li Bochang put his hand on Ruiniang's shoulder, patted her, and comforted her: "I know your intentions, that's why I keep you here till now. Do you know how to reply to this letter?"

Ruiniang nodded, "I know this!"

Li Bochang returned the letter to Ruiniang and left the general's mansion.

Linhai City is not far from Quyang Pass.

Ever since Zheng Chuang learned that his grandfather Wu Ningbo had arrived at Quyangguan to guard, he felt like he had found a backbone. He sent people to greet him every day and wrote letters asking for his opinion on the war situation.

When he learned that his eldest cousin had won the victory at Yumen Pass, Zheng Chuang's blood seemed to be ignited.

He sent someone to send a letter to Wu Ningbo asking: "Grandpa, if we just sit still and put all the pressure on my eldest cousin, my grandson will feel uneasy.

Sun'er wants to go to sea and attack the Dongyi warships. What do you think? "

When Wu Ningbo saw this, he felt happy and angry, and said directly to the clerk who was waiting for the pen and ink: "Just answer him - just those broken ships of yours can do nothing!

Unless Li Bochang has the courage to fight back, we can go to sea from Linhai Port, reinforce him from the sea, and encircle the Dongyi people, which will still be of some use.

It's a pity that Li Bochang doesn't have the courage! "
