Chapter 233 Professional Flattery
The bluestone mine is located on the edge of the territory of Count Li Hong, which is not far from the place where Xiliang County and Shu County have been fighting all year round, so the bluestone mine has been in chaos all year round. In fact, the bluestone mine was in the hands of the Shu army as early as three years ago and was recently robbed by the Xiliang army.
Such a thing is very common in the Central Plains and even in the south. Where the two forces intersect, the division of the border is always the most ** and difficult to explain. Everyone thinks that their border should be pushed out a little further, and the result will be that the two sides will fight directly because of this "a little" distance, even It is normal to play for decades in a row.
The reason why the battle between Xiliang County and Shu County is particularly fierce in the whole Central Plains is that there are more than a dozen spiritual veins on the border line that cannot be clearly divided. To seize the territory is for resources, and places with spiritual stone veins will produce spiritual stones. For the competition for these dozen spiritual veins, At first, the two counties almost started a war at the county level. They just thought that once the war started, even if they won, the gains would not outweigh the losses. In the end, it became like this. Both sides controlled the scale of the battle within their acceptable range. Whoever can win more in local battles will occupy the spiritual vein.
Anyway, the mining of spiritual stone is the same even if the strong man comes to the mysterious spiritual realm. How to mine it is or how to mine it? It is impossible for a spiritual stone vein to be drained in an instant or in a short time. So whoever occupies and mines, whoever wins more, will mine more.
The scale of the Qingshi mine is very large, far beyond the mine outside Nanluo City. After seeing the full picture of the mine, Li Mingyang couldn't help sighing: "What a big mine."
The officer leading the team looked at Li Mingyang strangely. Li Yuan explained with a smile and explained, "These are the subordinates I just received. They just came from Nanman and don't know much about the situation in the Central Plains."
The leading officer instantly knew and smiled politely at Li Mingyang, but his eyes were full of the words "Tubaozi".
Li Mingyang and Guo Yunshan have always looked like honest villagers, but everyone pretends to be so stupid that people often ignore that they are all powerful people in the virtual spirit world...
Xi Liangjun, who was stationed at the mine, learned that the count's brother had come here in person and greeted them all. Li Yuan liked this kind of crowded scene very much. After putting on airs for a long time before waving his hand and said, "Are you all busy? I just bring people here to destroy the enemy. I don't have to do this kind of scene."
Seeing Li Yuan's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, Li Mingyang and others could only bow their heads and suppress their smiles. Along the way, they have already seen through Li Yuan's character. A pure happy but timid guy has a certain military ability, but it seems that he only stays on paper. The best way to this kind of person is to flatter the snake. After all, for the time being, he needs his help to contact the count.
Hundreds of miles around the Qingshi Mine need to be explored. Because there are battles here all year round, no matter which side has rich experience in guerrilla warfare and anti-extinction, it will take about a month for a simple inspection. Li Mingyang and others do not want to face such a situation, but this is the only way at present. Li Yuan likes to explore here. The Shu army hiding here is not destined to be too much and not too dangerous. After a month's delay, it is estimated that his eldest brother will no longer pursue his defeat. Rather than wanting to kill the enemy here, he just wants to take refuge.
The process of patrol is boring, but Li Yuan is always full of **. Whether there are more than a dozen enemies, five or six or even only one, he is excited as if he is commanding a 10,000-level battle. In the end, Li Mingyang and the only six people who can insist on pretending to be stupid. Guo Yunshan and others sometimes even simply turn off their six senses and let them disguise themselves for a while. But they can accompany a big idiot like an idiot all day long, and they can't do it at all.
Yan Kuo once couldn't help secretly passing a voice to Guo Yunshan and asked, "What's wrong with Brother Li? He pretended to be stupid and seemed to be endless."
Guo Yunshan thought for a moment, but finally replied seriously, "He may just be tired."
"What?" Yan Kuo felt as if he had misheard it.
"He may just be tired," Guo Yunshan explained again: "No matter how old he is, his psychological age is only a teenager. Most children like him are trained as future leaders of a fairy sect. Even if he goes out to practice, he can't wait to send out more than a dozen spiritual strongmen. Follow. But he is really too reluctant to run for the livelihood of tens of thousands of people. It's hard to meet a fool who can tease him, so let him play for a few more days.
After listening to Guo Yunshan's words, Yan Kuo glanced at Li Yuan, who was seriously directing 300 people to deal with seven people, nodded deeply, and then said, "Why don't you wait to tie this fool back to Tianren City? Brother Li will take him out to play when he is bored."
Guo Yunshan stiffened and shook his head quickly and said, "Forget it, stupidity is also contagious. We can't harm our own people like this."
Yan Kuo suddenly realized that he completely dispelled the idea. I don't know if Li Yuan, who is scolding Fang Yu and pointing out the country, will spit blood to death when he hears the dialogue between Guo Yunshan and Yan Kuo. Anyway, he now feels super good about himself and is addicted to generals.
"How's Xiao Li? I was good at commanding just now." After letting his men close the team, Yan Kuo patted his chest proudly and said.
Li Mingyang raised his thumbs and praised repeatedly: "Awesome, it's still awesome, especially the last arrangement of the five-to-four cannon is so wonderful. The adult's way of using troops is really wonderful."
"Cannon five into four?" Li Yuan was a little puzzled, but when he saw Li Mingyang's admiring face, he laughed regardless and said, "It's just a small skill of carving insects. It's not worth mentioning."
Li Mingyang giggled, but he was slanderous: "Stupid, do you know what cannon five into four is? You dare to answer it."
This is Li Mingyang's favorite daily fun recently. As Guo Yunshan said, it's really fun to chat with such a fool every day. Li Yuan did make Li Mingyang's eyes open. He let Li Mingyang know what it means to be the stupidest but more stupid.
After everyone closed the team and went on the road again, Li Yuan's interest was still very strong, but there was really nothing to brag about in the 300-to-7 battle just now. The officer leading the team racked his brains and couldn't say a new flattery. Sometimes he wondered how Li Mingyang could flatter for so many days without saying a word. Repeated. Without anyone chasing it, it is difficult for Li Yuan to continue this topic.
But obviously, Li Yuan is not a calm master. He naturally changed to the next topic, but when he opened his mouth this time, everyone was stunned.
"You say, who is stronger and who is weaker than Li Mingyang?" Li Yuan asked very seriously.
The leading officer looked at him in a blankly and finally couldn't help showing an idiotic look. Li Mingyang was even more directly there. He didn't know how to deal with it. Guo Yunshan and others subconsciously touched the treasure bag around their waist and were ready to do it at any time.
"My identity has been recognized?" Li Mingyang thought hesitantly, and his right index finger waved slightly to signal Guo Yunshan to calm down.
"I asked you, what are you doing?" Li Yuan realized the reaction of the people around him and asked curiously.
The officer leading the team realized his gaffe just now and quickly bowed his head and said, "In my opinion, Li Mingyang must not be as good as yours. I think the bullshit southern military gods are all brag about by those southern monks. Besides, the Shu army has lost too much in the south. They have found a high-sounding one for themselves. It's just an excuse."
"That's right, I think so too." Li Yuan smiled proudly and said, "Looking at the news, it is impossible for one to be true. There are only 8,000 people in their hands. How can they destroy whoever they say? The call of heaven and the gate of hell are all spread by rumors.
Listening to the dialogue between Li Yuan and the officer, Li Mingyang was relieved, but it was also because of this that Li Mingyang knew that the rumors about him had spread to Xiliang County. The Yan brothers secretly gave a thumbs up to Li Mingyang with a look of admiration.
Xiao Zhuer smiled brightly, and she simply thought she couldn't hear the big words of Li Yuan and his men, but she was happy that Li Mingyang's reputation was already so famous.
When Li Mingyang sighed for a moment, Li Yuan pushed him: "What is Xiao Li thinking? By the way, you are also a southern barbarian monk. You should also know that Li Mingyang."
"Ah, I've heard something." Li Mingyang said for a moment.
"Then which of us is stronger depends on your observation of me these days." Li Yuan asked expectantly.
Of course, Li Mingyang would not let him down. He said with eyebrows, "He, how can that boy compare with adults? Adults can beat him a hundred times."
As soon as he heard this, the leading officer was shocked and secretly repented, "Yes, why didn't I expect to say that? One hit a hundred, tsk, this effect, oh, this guy is really flattering. Find a chance to learn more from him."
This flattery was really effective. Li Yuan had an extremely useful aftertaste, and then waved his hand modestly and said, "One hundred? No, no, he can play two or three at most. At least he is a celebrity and always has to have some strength.
"Bat your sister, believe it or not, I will cut you in one breath. If you don't accept it, we will practice now." Li Mingyang roared in his anger, but there was still a giggle on his face.
But at this time, a sentry in the distance came in a hurry. After stopping, he said in a panic, "Your Excellency, a large number of enemy troops appeared a hundred miles ahead, and now they are on their way here."
