What to do, what to do, what to do now?

Dugu Liangzuo's whole person was petrified, and his heart was already a mess, but he had to pretend to be calm on the surface.

"Zhongyun, Zhongyun...... What to do, please let me know!"

Under the repeated urging of his subordinates, Dugu Liangzuo came back to his senses, and said for a while, there was no way to explain it to his subordinates.

In the end, he looked at Li Yu, who was sitting in the middle position, and said ashamedly:

"Whether it's advance or retreat, please show the prince!"

At this moment, in Dugu Liangzuo's opinion, the only way is to escape, but he is unwilling to carry this pot, and he can't carry it.

Just replaced Guo Ziyi and made this kind of defeat, if you don't get it, you will have to bear the responsibility and be executed by military law, and now you can only hope that the prince will carry this black cauldron.

Li Yu didn't have much expression on his face, he only raised his hand tiredly, and said for a long time:

"The enemy is hard to beat, so dodge is the best policy!"

To put it mildly, in fact, you will run away, and if you run slowly, you may be caught up. But fortunately, there was a river in front of the place where they camped, and even if the Shenwu army wanted to catch up, they had to cross this river first.

Once it comes to crossing the river, a large amount of material baggage in the army is a big problem, either to build pontoon bridges, or to selectively abandon some.

All in all, the pace of the march was mostly slowed down by crossing the river for a day or two.

If light troops go first, combat effectiveness and staying power may be greatly reduced. At the beginning, Guo Ziyi also had this kind of calculation when he chose this place to camp. It's a pity that the world is changing too quickly, and Guo Youming's fiasco led to a mutiny among those who were dissatisfied with him in the army, which allowed Dugu Liangzuo, who had always been ambitious, to take advantage of the loophole.

However, Dugu Liangzuo is a person with great ambitions and talents, he has gained power but cannot effectively integrate the army, he only knows how to blindly engage in purges, which makes the army miserable, the people are panicked, and the morale plummets.

As a result, they couldn't even suppress the rebellion of hundreds of people, and even suffered a lot of losses, let alone confronting the Shenwu Army head-on.

"Listen to His Royal Highness the Prince, withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops!"

Dugu Liangzuo shouted loudly and gave the order to withdraw his troops.

As soon as the order to withdraw the troops came out, the whole army was in chaos, and the morale of the previous rebellion was already low, but now that they heard that the Shenwu army had killed them, and the upper ones had given up resistance, they all planned to flee for their lives, it was better to stay and wait for death.

Within half an hour, many people had already left the camp without permission and chose to flee for their lives.

The soldiers who maintained order tried to control the situation at first, killing some deserters as a warning, but the number of deserters increased, almost to the point where they could not be controlled, so they all gave up.

Soon, Dugu Liangzuo, who was hiding in his military tent, received military reports about deserters, and some people asked for instructions on whether to carry out cruel punishment and suppression.

Dugu Liangzuo laughed miserably:

"It's all come to such a point, how can you unite people's hearts by killing people? ”

With that, he buried his face in pain between his hands.

Before the military power was in his hands, his road to the peak came to an abrupt end.

"General, General...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered that Guo Ziyi be released......"

A lieutenant entered the military tent in a panic, and he didn't care whether to report it or not, his face was full of anxiety and despair.

"Guo Ziyi can't let go, you can bring someone over now and kill him!"

Since Dugu Liangzuo broke with Guo Ziyi publicly, he will never allow this person to return to power, even if he regains his freedom.

Even if this man could lead an army out of trouble, he was not willing to risk his life and future.

The lieutenant had just received the order and left, and another person came in, it was Cheng Xiaojie, Guo's old department.

He failed to be consistent in the mutiny launched by Dugu Liangzuo, and chose to betray Guo Ziyi.

"General Cheng, please evacuate with the army as soon as possible, try your best to maintain the integrity of the men and horses, and clean up the army on the road, don't, don't all flee. ”

Cheng Xiaojie gave up his orders, but he didn't have much military power, let alone purge the old department. Dugu Liangzuo has always distrusted him, and now he only does some dirty work to clean Guo Bu's lineage, which makes many people grit their teeth with hatred for him, and want to kill him quickly.

Therefore, many people have a way out, but this person does not.

Not only did the original Guo soldiers look down on him, but even Dugu Liangzuo felt that this person could not be reused, and he would have the opportunity to play him in the future.

At this juncture, Cheng Xiaojie's coming here really added to his blockage and chaos.

received the order but did not leave, which made Dugu Liangzuo very unhappy, and squinted his eyes at him, trying to figure out what this guy's intentions were.

"Zhongyun, go down and risk death, the army can't be withdrawn, if you rely on the river or you can fight, if you pull out the camp and withdraw the army, it won't take a day, the army will be in danger of falling apart!"

Cheng Xiaojie has a poor character, but he still has some skills, and what he said is indeed right, now many people have begun to flee the camp, and the situation has a tendency to get out of control.

If everyone is locked up in the camp, there may be a chance to stabilize people's hearts.

If the barracks are abandoned, will the soldiers who have lost the last layer of barrier still be willing to accept the restraint?

Suddenly, Dugu Liangzuo smelled a hint of danger.

He snorted coldly and said:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince plans to release Guo Da, what's the matter, do you want to rejoin the old master?"

Hearing this, Cheng Xiaojie's face immediately showed a look of horror, and he knelt on his knees, sincerely afraid.

"Why did Zhong Yun say this? Go down and do your best to sweep away the troubles of Zhong Yun's henchmen, and he has long been intolerable to the Guo family brothers, so how can he still have such non-trivial thoughts? Go down and risk death to speak today, it is indeed for the sake of Zhong Yun's safety and future! Only when Zhong Yun is strong can he have a place to stay. ”

While speaking, Cheng Xiaojie's face showed a little loneliness.

Dugu Liangzuo sneered in his heart, he was a renegade and a traitor, he expected this kind of fate, no matter how heroic he was, he would never be able to straighten his waist.

"It's good to know in your heart, it's not wise to stay and fight to the death. The retreat of the camp was ordered by His Royal Highness the Prince, and it could not be changed, as long as the descendants were still under control, the rest would leave if they wanted, and they would not be forced to stay. ”

At this point, Dugu Liangzuo changed his words, and looked at Cheng Xiaojie with a strange yin and yang.

"If you want to leave, I won't stop you, and I'll give you horses and money, how about it?"

Cheng Xiaojie made a runny nose and patted his chest to reassure.

"Even if everyone escapes, they won't leave Zhongyun if they go down!"

At this time, Dugu Liangzuo was satisfied with Cheng Xiaojie and helped Cheng Xiaojie up and comforted:

"I know that you are faithful to me, and I will not do you any harm once you have overcome this day. ”

"I am willing to die for Zhongyun!"

Cheng Xiaojie bowed down the next time, and when he bowed his head, there was a trace of imperceptible killing intent in his eyes.
