393 Riding into the city alone (for T, 1104 plus 8/11)
For Li Guo's arrival, Tian Jianxiu was very surprised, and could even be said to be shocked.
Originally, he thought that Li Guo must be going to find Li Laiheng, instead of staying in Shudi to fight against Li Zicheng. After all, no matter what you say, he is also Li Zicheng's own nephew. And before, he didn't run away like Li Laiheng, but tried to dissuade Li Zicheng.
Therefore, when Tian Jianxiu understood Li Guo's intention, he really didn't know what kind of immortal technique Xingguo Gong used, and he could make Li Guo stand on the front line against Li Zicheng.
In this regard, Tian Jianxiu is naturally very pleased.
After all, when he was the biggest traitor under Li Zicheng before, to be honest, he was still under a lot of pressure.
But now that Li is here, this hat will not be his turn no matter what. With Li Guo in front of him, he felt a lot more relaxed.
Li Guo himself didn't feel anything about this, but as soon as he arrived, he cared about the war in front of him and asked directly about the situation.
When Tian Jianxiu heard this, he immediately introduced him: "They are all hiding in the rice grain pass and are not fighting. Before, it was still Liu Zongmin, but since ten days ago, the banner has changed, it should be Yuan Zongdi, and he didn't see Liu Zongmin again! ”
The Miliang Pass, which is Chongqing's last barrier in the west, has always been garrisoned by Liu Zongmin.
Li Guo frowned and thought, according to his understanding of Li Zicheng, he asserted: "Maybe, they are going to withdraw from Chongqing!" ”
"Well, that's what I thought too." Tian Jianxiu was also familiar with Li Zicheng, and immediately nodded in agreement, "I have reported the situation to Chengdu and let the national government decide." However, before the Guogong replied, it was not good to change the arrangement of the Guogong and attack the rice grain pass at any cost? Go and attack Chongqing! ”
All the while? The princes of the country are all concerned about the lives of the soldiers first, and they will not be ruthless. To get there? The kind that doesn't count the dead and wounded? Victory is often won by minimizing casualties.
At this point, what Li Guo saw and heard in Chengdu? You can see it.
So after he listened? After a little silence? He said worriedly: "If Li Zicheng escapes from Chongqing and Shudi, if he wants to make the world peaceful, I don't know how much time it will take." And most likely? Will he raze Chongqing and other places to the ground? Increase the burden on the court and drag the court to pursue the soldiers. ”
While talking, there is no longer "uncle", calling him by his name!
Hearing this, the prison army Lan Tianbao opened his mouth and said, "He can't run? Whether it is the export of the Yangtze River, or the Shu Road to Shaanxi? It's all heavily guarded! ”
"What about going to Yunnan and Guizhou?" Li Guo listened to it, think about it for a while? immediately said, "Then Li Zicheng is definitely going to Yunnan and Guizhou!" ”
Of course, Lan Tianbao wouldn't say that Xingguo Gong was going to drive Li Zicheng to Yungui and other places? It's easy to solve the toast over there. This means of repelling the wolf? It's hard to say it explicitly. After all, before the Toast rebellion? Nominally also part of the Ming local officials.
At this time, after Li Guo said a word, he immediately emphasized: "Not to mention anything else, just taking away all the population in Chongqing and other places, and removing all the materials that can be moved, will cause the destruction of hundreds of people's homes." If you wait for Guogong to reply, I'm afraid it will be too late to stop it! ”
Coercing the local people and snatching all the supplies was in itself the first method of the thieves. Li Zicheng started this, and he was definitely very skillful.
When Lan Tianbao heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Then what do you say?" ”
"I'll go and persuade Yuan Zongdi to let him switch and accept the imperial court's recruitment!" Li had an idea too early and immediately replied.
When Lan Tianbao heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "His family must be in Chongqing, and it is impossible for him to accept the imperial court's recruitment!" ”
After hearing this, Tian Jianxiu interjected and said, "Maybe you can try, what if it succeeds?" ”
He went to persuade Yuan Zongdi, this was definitely useless, it had been proven before. However, Li Guo's status in Li Zicheng's army has always been relatively special, and he can be regarded as one with relatively high prestige.
In the original history, after Li Zicheng's defeat, it was Li Guo who commanded Li Zicheng's remnants, and finally agreed to block Yinxi's single cavalry to enter the camp to persuade Zhao'an to become a Ming army and deal with the Manchu Qing who entered the customs together.
At this time, Lan Tianbao listened to it and remembered that Li Guo was under the military order of the Duke of Youguo, so he did not dissuade him, and immediately nodded and said, "Be careful yourself!" ”
It can be said that Li persuaded Yuan Zongdi to surrender in the past, which was definitely a big risk.
When Li Guo heard this, he just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
At this time, it was getting late, and when it was early the next morning, Li Guo rode out of the camp alone, came to the rice grain pass, and shouted loudly to the thieves in the city: "I am Li Guo, I want to see Yuan Zongdi." ”
Originally, he could shout to Yuan Zongdi outside the range of the city defense. In this case, the security will be much higher. At that time, Tian Jianxiu wanted to persuade Yuan Zongdi to surrender, and he did so.
However, Li Guo believes that this kind of shouting will be much lower in persuasion. Therefore, he decided to persuade him in person, which would be more certain.
Tian Jianxiu, Lan Tianbao and others persuaded him, but Li Guo didn't listen and insisted, and others couldn't do anything.
Yuan Zongdi was resting in the arrow tower at the head of the city, and when he heard the movement, he saw that it was really Li Guo, and he was a little dumbfounded.
Why is he still here, not looking for Li Laiheng?
No, why did he still come to see him, this was self-defeating, and he didn't want to go to Li Laiheng?
Or did he go to the court and find that it was different from what he imagined, so he wanted to come back again?
For a while, Yuan Zongdi thought a lot. even thought that the person who was shouting outside this pass could be someone from the imperial court to pretend to be and try to assassinate him?
In the end, Yuan Zongdi walked out of the arrow tower and went close to the battlements to look, and sure enough, he saw that the person shouting from the city was indeed Li Guo. Alone, unarmed, under the head of the city.
However, he was still very cautious, did not open and close the door of the card, let people find a hanging basket, and hung Li Guo to the city.
Watching Li Guo get down from the hanging basket, Yuan Zongdi held the handle of the knife in his hand and said with a grim face: "Li Guo, why did you come back?" Do you want to admit your mistake to the general? ”
Li Guo casually patted the wrinkled corners of his clothes, looked at Yuan Zongdi, and said in a non-questionable manner: "I have visited a lot of places in Chengdu, and I have greatly gained knowledge, understand why the imperial court officials and troops are so powerful, and understand why we have been facing the leadership of the Xingguo Gong, and we will have no power to fight back!" ”
As soon as he heard this, Yuan Zongdi immediately became curious, and even forgot that he was still very vigilant just now, and hurriedly asked curiously, "Why?" ”
On the side, all of Yuan Zongdi's personal guards immediately pricked up their ears and listened.
Li Guo glanced at them, did not avoid him, and began to recount everything he had seen in Chengdu.
Those scenes that once shocked him very much, now that they are narrated, Li Guo can find that whether it is Yuan Zongdi or the other brothers, they all show a very shocked appearance.
If someone else says this, they will subconsciously think that it is fake and cannot be true!
However, these words were all said by Li Guo, and with Li Guo's prestige, they did not have this kind of subconscious suspicion, and accepted that these were true from the beginning.
This, to be honest, others really don't have this ability, including Tian Jianxiu.
Li Guo narrated slowly, and unconsciously, the surrounding thieves came closer one after another, listening to Li Guo's explanation of what he had seen and heard in Chengdu.
In the distance, Tian Mixiu and Lan Tianbao both watched with binoculars.
To be honest, they actually didn't believe that just Li had said it in the past, and they could say that Yuan Zongdi had surrendered. is even a little worried that as soon as Li Guo passes, he will be taken down by Yuan Zongdi, and then sent to Chongqing and handed over to Li Zicheng.
However, the scene seen from the telescope still made them a little relieved. At least for now, Li Guo seems to have the initiative.
At this time, they remembered why Li Guo asked the court officials and soldiers not to send troops to escort them, and he rode over alone.
If there are court officials and soldiers outside the city, even if they are far away, as long as they can see it by sight, the thieves on the head of the city will definitely be vigilant, and there will definitely be no situation where what they see in front of them will not appear in front of them, and those thieves will gather around to listen to Li Guo's speech.
"You say, can Li Guo succeed?" Seeing this, even if he did a lot of ideological work, he was still not sure, so he asked Tian Jianxiu.
Tian Jianxiu listened, put down the binoculars, turned his head to look at Lan Tianbao, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Although I thought that Li Guo could not succeed before, but right now, it's really hard to say, let's look at it!" ”
Lan Tianbao listened, nodded, picked up the binoculars again, and stared at the movement above the city, and so did Tian Jianxiu!
At the head of the city, Li Guo talked for a long time before he roughly told him what he saw and heard in Chengdu and outside the city.
When he was taking a breath, some onlookers couldn't help it, and immediately asked, "General, is there really a female soldier who will take care of his injured brother?" ”
Between the words, there is a lot of envy. If you have a little experience, you will know that this is a single dog!
When Yuan Zongdi heard it, he turned his head and was startled. Unconsciously, there were so many people around.
So he immediately shouted, "What are you all doing around? Watch the big show! Scattered, scattered, be on guard, all for me to disperse! ”
Hearing him drink like this, his guards naturally helped to shout and drive people away.
So, the thieves who surrounded him reluctantly left.
While scattering, they also whispered.
"I really want to watch a big play, just watch those female soldiers. The general said it just now, and the scene was full of loud applause, it must be very good-looking! ”
"Do you mean that people are good-looking or good-looking? I'm going to say, you're hungry! ”
"Hehe, people get the same military salary as the cavalry, and if you want to marry such a person when you turn back, who is in charge of the family?"
“……”
As soon as the crowd dispersed, Yuan Zongdi looked at Li Guo, who was standing there smiling.
