There were still some preparations to be done before the expedition to the Xiongnu.
Otherwise, even if Li Jin Nian used his troops like a god, it would be impossible for him to destroy the Xiongnu with just three thousand soldiers.
The total number of the Xiongnu army should be around 150,000. 100,000 of them were attacking the Xiongnu, and only 50,000 were defending the homeland.
This was also the reason why Li Jin Nian had previously formulated the strategy of combining vertical and horizontal forces. He wanted to unite the thirty-three countries of the Western Region to form an alliance army that would set off from the Dayue Clan and Wusun to attack the Xiongnu's headquarters.
This was because the Xiongnu's main camp was empty, and it was indeed the best time to attack.
Unfortunately, Fan Jin, the dog spy, had already sent the information back to the Xiongnu.
The Huns would definitely take precautions.
It was impossible to catch them off guard.
Not to mention now that the Northguard Pass has fallen, the Imperial City is in danger. The most important thing is to capture the Northguard Pass and drive the Xiongnu army out of the pass!
…
Special Countermeasure Team for China's National National Sports Broadcast.
Several hosts were discussing what method Li Jin Nian would use to win this war.
Bing Bing looked at Lieutenant General Liu Hua."General Liu, you are an expert in this field. What do you think contestant Li will do to fight this war?"”
Lieutenant General Liu Hua pondered for a moment."We should still rely on modern firearms. Otherwise, the possibility of eliminating the Xiongnu with just 3,000 troops is almost zero."”
"Moreover, we can see that the firearms produced by Contestant Li are only heavy artillery and explosives. Without firearms, their mobility will be much worse. Therefore, I'm actually very curious as to how Contestant Li is going to fight this war.”
"At the very least, if I were to be the commander, I think the chances of winning are almost zero.”
Hearing Lieutenant General Liu Hua say so, Bing Bing and the Chinese netizens were also a little confused.
At this moment, Professor Li said,""Emperor Dafeng Gaozu once fought such a battle. He led 700 cavalrymen to take down a city with more than 10000 defenders. It was hailed as a classic case of fighting with numbers.”
"I've read about this battle in a book. It seems that the victory of this battle was due to various factors.”
Wang Han said.
"Yes."
Professor Li nodded."I personally think that this miracle cannot be replicated. The soldiers guarding the city were originally a group of scattered soldiers. Not only were their combat effectiveness weak, but their morale was also very lax.”
"A large reason why Emperor Dafeng Gaozu was able to win this battle was actually because he played psychological warfare. Through bluffing, he directly made the soldiers guarding the city panic. Even the enemy generals were so scared that they directly fled.”
"And the Xiongnu army that Contestant Li is facing is not something that the enemies Emperor Gaozu faced at that time can compare to. Especially now that the Xiongnu army had just won the battle and conquered Northguard Fortress, which had not been conquered for a hundred years, their morale was soaring.”
"So I thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn't figure out how contestant Li would break out of this situation.”
At this moment, it was not only the hosts in the live broadcast room, but also the Chinese netizens who were watching the live broadcast.
Everyone's expression was a little serious.
Although no one doubted Li Jin Nian's methods and abilities, it was still a fantasy to use 3,000 elite soldiers to destroy the Xiongnu.
"I think this Li Jin Nian is overconfident. Does he really think that the hundred-thousand-strong Xiongnu army are all pigs?”
At this moment, the Koreans also took the opportunity to jump out and say.
"He's inflated. He thinks that he can command the wind and clouds in ancient times and that he's invincible.”
"Although I think Li Jin Nian is indeed very strong, his actions are indeed a little inhumane. Three thousand men wanted to fight against a hundred thousand Xiongnu soldiers. This time, if you say that Li Jin Nian is a spy of the Xiongnu, I really believe you.”
"Not to the extent of being a spy. In any case, this wave is a giveaway.”
"Actually, it's quite normal. No matter how strong Li Jin Nian is, he's still a human being. He berated the ministers in the imperial court, and even the empress didn't dare to act rashly. Under such a huge sense of accomplishment, it wasn't impossible for him to lose himself.”
The Korean netizens were collectively looking down on Li Jin Nian.
This was because seeing Li Jin Nian continuously bring rewards to China was even more uncomfortable than seeing their own country's players doing nothing.
Faced with the Korean netizens 'mockery, the Chinese netizens were too lazy to reply.
As long as they didn't go too far and touch their bottom line, the Chinese netizens couldn't be bothered with these clowns.
Moreover, even they themselves felt that Li Jin Nian's decision was very risky.
"Forget it, let's not think too much. Anyway, as long as God Li is safe, it's better than anything else.”
The Chinese netizens had already gotten over it.
They didn't want to hold Li Jin Nian hostage and say that he could only succeed and not fail.
Li Jin Nian had fought a bloody battle for Xia country in ancient times, putting his life aside. In this peaceful era, people like them were blowing air-conditioning and watching live broadcasts. Compared to them, they were already living a life like heaven.
This made them feel rather ashamed.
She felt quite embarrassed.
Initially, there were people who suggested to visit Li Jin Nian's family and give them some help.
It was a pity that the Chinese government had blocked all information about Li Jin Nian. No one could find out anything about him.
Li Jinnian's information was now a top secret file.
After
the court session ended, Li Jin Nian first went to the Ying Tian Prefecture.
Save Shen Yunshang.
Although he could order others to do this.
However, Li Jin Nian still went personally.
This was because Shen Yunshang had been implicated by him and had been imprisoned. Moreover, under the coercion and temptation of Yu Rong and the others, Shen Yunshang had never wavered and refused to cooperate with them to frame him.
This made Li Jin Nian feel touched.
"Lord Li, you're busy with work, so you didn't have to come personally.”
Shen Yunshang had just heard from the jailer that Li Jin Nian was about to lead the army to the Xiongnu.
Therefore, when she saw him personally come to the prison to pick her up, she was a little overwhelmed.
"In my heart, bringing Boss Shen out is as important as defeating the Xiongnu.”
"So there's no distinction between primary and secondary.”
Li Jin Nian said.
To him, if he couldn't even protect the people around him, how could he protect the people of the world?
"..."
Shen Yunshang looked up at Li Jin Nian, who had unlocked her shackles. She was speechless for a long time.
She only knew that her persistence was meaningful.
"In the future, no one will go to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant to dine and dash.”
"You can focus on your business and not care about anything else.”
Li Jinnian said to Shen Yunshang as he placed the shackles he had removed to the side.
He had only just found out.
It turned out that many officials in the court did not pay for meals at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, and there were a few Rank-1 and Rank-2 court officials who had designated private rooms.
In other words, those private rooms were specially reserved for them.
Even if they didn't come, that private room couldn't be opened to the public.
Shen Yunshang had no choice but to accept it with a smile.
Otherwise, those ministers of the imperial court could find a reason to take down her Drunken Immortal Restaurant in minutes.
"Yes, I will definitely manage the Drunken Immortal Restaurant well.”
Shen Yunshang nodded heavily.
She had been locked up in the prison for the whole day and had no idea that the situation outside had changed.
"There's one more thing I want to ask Boss Shen.”
Li Jin Nian looked into her eyes and said.
"Please ask, Lord Li."
"Is Boss Shen's father Shen Shichang, the owner of Spring Breeze Restaurant in Lin 'an City?”
"How did Lord Li know?”
Hearing this, Shen Yunchang could not help but exclaim.
"It's like this. Yesterday, my father went to Shili County outside the city to attend a friend's birthday party…"
Li Jin Nian briefly recounted what had happened.
"I seem to have some impression of the chef Lord Li mentioned.”
"I was only ten years old when he first came to Spring Breeze House. I remember that my father often praised him, saying that he was very talented and hardworking.”
"On the day of the accident, this chef happened to be arranged by my father to purchase ingredients, so he escaped disaster.”
Shen Yunshang tried hard to recall.
Actually, by saying this, she was admitting that she was Shen Shichang's daughter.
"Then how did Boss Shen survive?”
Li Jin Nian asked again.
"It's like this. At that time, in the yamen of Lin 'an City, there was a jailer named Wu Guanqing who was in charge of guarding the prison.”
"Uncle Wu was starving to death on the streets. It was my father who brought him home, cooked for him, gave him a sum of silver, and introduced him to a job.”
"At that time, our whole family was locked up in prison. Uncle Wu wanted to save us, but he was just a small jailer after all.”
"Later on, he found a girl who was about the same age as me and was about to be executed to replace me, so I survived.”
Shen Yunshang told the truth.
"It's almost as I guessed."
Li Jin Nian said.
He had previously guessed that someone had replaced Shen Yunshang.
"So you came to the capital alone and opened this Drunken Immortal Restaurant. On the one hand, you wanted to continue your father's unfinished wish, and on the other hand, you wanted to avenge your father?”
"Yes."
Shen Yunshang did not deny it.
It was precisely because of this experience that she refused to frame Li Jin Nian when Yu Rong threatened and bribed her yesterday, even when they wanted to torture her.
At that time, a group of people had also tortured his father to get a confession.
This matter had a huge impact on Shen Yunshang.
"I just didn't expect that the official position of Lu Yuanzhen would become bigger and bigger. In just a few years, he was promoted to the cabinet assistant, so you have no way to seek justice even if you want to.”
Li Jin Nian hit the nail on the head and hit the nail on the head.
For so many years, Shen Yunshang had racked her brains to build up her connections.
Among the six ministers, there were several who were on good terms with her, not to mention a bunch of imperial relatives.
Although this kind of relationship might not be very reliable, if Lu Yuanzhen was not a cabinet assistant but an ordinary official, those people would be willing to help Shen Yunshang investigate the case.
However, the other party was the assistant minister of the cabinet, and his authority was above the six ministries. He was an existence that stood at the top of the pyramid of the Great Feng Court.
Even the six ministers did not dare to offend him.
Hence, Shen Yunshang's revenge plan could only be put on hold.
"This dog official caused my family to be destroyed back then. However, he was later transferred from Lin 'an City to the capital and became the Yin of Yingtian Prefecture. From then on, his official career flourished. Now, he is even an official in the cabinet and has power in the court.”
When the name Lu Yuanzhen was mentioned, Shen Yunshang's face was filled with hatred.
She had a good family background. Her parents were loving and treated her well.
Unfortunately, Lu Yuanzhen had ruined everything.
"This matter might not be as simple as you think.”
Li Jinnian glanced at Shen Yunshang.
Whether it was the evaluation of Lu Yuanzhen in the history books or his observation of Lu Yuanzhen, he did not seem like a corrupt official.
"Wait for me to come back. I'll help you investigate this matter.”
"If your father was really wronged, even if Lu Yuanzhen is the assistant minister of the inner cabinet, I will make his head fall to the ground and sacrifice the lives of dozens of people in your Shen family.”
Li Jin Nian promised.
"Lord Li, I appreciate your kindness.”
Shen Yunshang felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
In the ten years she had been in the capital, she had interacted with many officials.
Li Jin Nian was undoubtedly one of them.
However, the more it was like this, the more she couldn't let Li Jin Nian put himself in danger.
"Lu Yuanzhen, this dog official, has the power to rule the country. In addition to the fact that the chief assistant is already old, everyone thinks that Lu Yuanzhen will take the chief assistant position soon. At that time, he will become a powerful official who is only under one person and above ten thousand people in the entire Great Feng.”
"Lord Li, if you offend him, I'm afraid you'll bring disaster upon yourself.”
Shen Yunshang said sincerely.
Hearing this, Li Jin Nian glanced at her.
Her favorability towards Shen Yunshang also increased significantly.
At first, he thought that she was a profit-seeking businessman, but now he realized that she was not.
Shen Yunshang's character was quite good.
Such a person was very suitable to be a friend or a business partner.
"Wait for me to come back."
At that moment, the carriage arrived at the entrance of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. Li Jinnian said to Shen Yunshang,"
"Yes."
Shen Yunshang alighted from the carriage and said to Li Jin Nian,
"Lord Li, take care. I wish you a triumphant return."”
"Definitely."
Li Jin Nian nodded and then lowered the curtain.
The coachman raised his whip and drove the carriage out of the city.
Shen Yunshang's maidservant had long known that Shen Yunshang would return today, so she had been waiting for her at the door early in the morning.
"Sister Yunshang, you're finally back.”
The maidservant grabbed her hand excitedly and said with tears in her eyes.
Although the two of them were master and servant in name, they were actually very close and called each other sisters.
"What's there to cry about? Aren't I fine?”
Shen Yunshang reached out to wipe away the tears on her face.
"Sister Yunshang, you might not know this, but you almost didn't make it back today.”
the maidservant said to her.
"What do you mean?"
Shen Yunshang frowned slightly.
"Today, in the Imperial Court, Fan Jin, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, accused Sir Li of being a spy of the Xiongnu. Then, a bunch of ministers came out and said that they wanted to imprison Sir Li in the imperial prison.”
"If this crime is confirmed, Sister Yunshang will definitely not be spared.”
the maidservant said.
"There's actually such a thing?"
Shen Yunshang's face was filled with shock.
Li Jin Nian did not mention this to her in the carriage just now.
"Not only that, but Fan Jin also plotted a rebellion and secretly bribed the royal guards. He wanted to kill Sir Li and all the ministers, including His Majesty, in the throne room.”
"What?"
When she heard this, she was even more shocked.
She didn't dare to think about such a thing.
"Fortunately, Lord Li's martial arts are unrivaled. He subdued more than ten imperial guards by himself.”
"Not only that, Lord Li also purged the Imperial Court and arrested a large number of corrupt officials.”
This included the Minister of Revenue Zhang Qian, the Minister of Personnel Yan Zhen, and the Minister of Justice Guo Jiang, all of whom had their homes raided.”
Hearing the maid say this, Shen Yunshang suddenly remembered what she had said to him in the carriage just now.
"Wait for me to come back. I will help you investigate this matter."”
"If your father was really wronged, even if Lu Yuanzhen is the assistant minister of the inner cabinet, I will make his head fall to the ground and sacrifice the lives of dozens of people in your Shen family.”
At that time, she thought that it was Li Jin Nian's good intentions, so she rejected him.
Because she didn't want him to be implicated.
But unexpectedly, Li Jin Nian seemed to really have this ability.
"Sister Yunshang, you might not know yet.”
"Lord Li is no longer the same as before.”
"I was in the same carriage as you just now.”
"He is the first person to kill someone in the throne room with a sword!”
"It's because all the officials in the court saw the King of Hell Li trembling in fear.”
"He is a second-grade imperial censor conferred by His Majesty. He was also bestowed with a royal sword and the privilege of acting first and reporting later.”
"It's the unprecedented first-grade Shence General who is about to go to war with the Xiongnu!”
"He is also the Li Qingtian who is worshipped by the people like a god!”
