Li Yi was a little stunned, and he hated the rebels, but Guo Ziyi's attitude was obviously a little abnormal.

Guo Ziyi said with red eyes: "A few days ago, the rebels attacked in a disorderly manner, I felt something wrong, and sent someone to investigate." The brute forcibly conscripted the people into the army to attack the city, and the most attrition these days was the innocent people. ”

There are not many bows and arrows in Changshan County, and Zhang Kang's move is obviously to use the lives of the people to consume the arrows of the defenders.

Guo Ziyi knew that most of the people attacking the city were civilians, but he couldn't sit back and watch them rush to the vicinity of the city tower, so he could only order to shoot them.

Guo Ziyi is a general who is deeply influenced by Confucian culture, wise, benevolent and courageous, loyal and filial piety, and is a man of unparalleled virtue.

It was a great torment for him to shoot the people.

But for the sake of the overall situation, he had to take action, and no one could guarantee whether there were brave soldiers hidden among the seemingly untrained people under the tower.

The survival of Changshan County is related to the situation of the entire Hebei and even Hedong...... There is simply no choice.

That guilt and anger, Guo Ziyi can't communicate with the soldiers under his command, they are all hidden in his chest, and his hatred for Zhang Kang is naturally deep in the bone marrow.

This kind of inhumane tactic, Li Yi was also shocked when he heard this, and gritted his teeth and said: "What a vicious brute!" Not to mention Ziyi, even the king of this county can't spare him. ”

Li Yi is a royal family member after all, and in his heart, the Li family dynasty is the first, skipping this matter, he asked Guo Ziyi about what he has learned these days, and asked: "What does Ziyi think about the next battle situation?" ”

Guo Ziyi said: "It is better to defend than to attack the ......" He looked at the soldiers around him and said in a low voice: "It's not that the last general will grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige." The soldiers of the Hebei local army are simply insufficient, Hebei has not fought for a hundred years, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the soldiers are negligent in combat training, and their quality is extremely low. The Gyeonggi soldiers brought by the king of the county have been corrupt for many years, although after more than years of reform, the lazy and corrupt atmosphere of the soldiers in Beijing has changed, and the military appearance and combat effectiveness are indeed much better than the original, but they cannot be called elite divisions. And the main force of the traitors has been fighting almost every month for more than ten years. Every soldier has experienced the life and death of the battlefield, and his combat effectiveness is particularly terrifying. ”

"To put it bluntly, the world's strongest, Wuwei County King's Hexi and Longyou are called the first, followed by the Northeast Army...... Fighting head-on, even if we have the majority of our forces, we have no chance of winning. ”

Li Yi also knows that the gap in strength on the battlefield is difficult to make up for with tactics. He also did not doubt Guo Ziyi's judgment, since Pei Min introduced Guo Ziyi to him, he had learned about Guo Ziyi's terrible military talent.

The more in-depth the contact, the more Li Yi could feel Guo Ziyi's power, and even many times he felt ashamed of himself, closed his eyes and muttered for a moment: "One blow and then three declines and exhaustion......"

Guo Ziyi bowed his head and said: "The last general has this intention, the rebels are mourning soldiers under the banner of Zhang Shouqi, and the momentum is like a rainbow, our strength is not as good as theirs, and there is no need to fight with them." They don't have a steady stream of logistical support, and when they run out of momentum, it's time for us to attack. ”

Li Yi said with a smile: "This time, I came to ask the Ministry of Industry for a lot of crossbows to defend the city. With our troops, even if we fight out all the soldiers under his command, we will not be able to move this Changshan County. ”

Guo Ziyi was surprised and said: "It turns out that the king of the county has long had this intention. ”

Li Yi shook his head and said: "What kind of virtue is the soldier in his hand, how can this king not know." If you give a few more years, this king is not afraid of the Northeast Army, and it is better to be conservative now, but this king can't imagine that Ziyi's evaluation of the Northeast Army is so high. ”

Guo Ziyi shook his head and said: "The last general doesn't want to be like this, regardless of the relationship between the enemy and me, this Zhang Kang still has a very high military level, he did not tame the soldiers under his command into an invincible and strong army like Helong, but trained them into a group of hungry wolves." ”

While they were deliberating, a lieutenant in the distance walked towards them with three men.

When he came to the nearest place, the captain said: "The king of Xin'an County and General Guo, these three people appeared sneakily outside the south gate, saying that they had something important to ask to see the king of the county, and they also had a secret order from Shangshu Ling. The last general did not know whether it was true or not, and brought them in. ”

As he spoke, he handed the captured Shangshu Ling secret order to Li Yi.

Li Yi solemnly took the secret order and saw that it was indeed Pei Min's handwriting.

He has been on business with Pei Min for many years, and Pei Min's handwriting has long been familiar.

Moreover, Pei Min is recognized as a master of regular script in the world, and his regular script has become a vein of its own, and ordinary people can't imitate it at all. In addition to the genuine Shang Shuling seal...... It's hard to say whether the identity of the person who came is true or not, but this secret order is true without a doubt.

After reading the contents of the secret letter, Li Yi looked at the young man who was bound and asked, "Are you Xu Ming?" ”

He asked people to loosen the bonds of youth.

The young man who was bound was Xu Ming, who Pei Min arranged to go to the northeast to investigate the Northeast Army.

Xu Mingzuo said: "It was in Xia that Pei Xiang had already suspected that there was a change in the Northeast Army, and he was sent to secretly infiltrate the Northeast to investigate. He said and pointed to the two people beside him and said: "They are Pei Xiang's escort arranged with me, thanks to them, this trip to the northeast, a certain person can save his life." There were only three of us in a group of ten. ”

Guo Ziyisheng was in Gyeonggi, and heard about Xu Ming's overthrow of Wu Jieyu, and talked to Li Yi in detail.

When Li Yi heard that he was Xu Yougong's descendant, he was also in awe, and asked the other two to loosen their bonds, and asked: "Now Zhang Kang is the opposite, if you don't go back to Chang'an to restore your life, there is something special about coming to Changshan?" ”

Xu Ming said: "This trip to the Northeast is thrilling, and what I found is appalling. Zhang Kang's crimes are too numerous to write...... Everyone in the world thinks that Zhang Kang rebelled because of Zhang Shouqi, but this is not the case. Zhang Shouqi didn't know that he, a righteous son, had already set him up in the air. Moreover, it has a close relationship with the Xi people and the Khitan, and even has certain contacts with the Bohai State. In the defeat of Heishui, the Tang army lost more than thousands of divisions, and this matter is unknown. But the bones of more than 1,000 martyrs of our Tang Dynasty were piled up outside the Bohai Sea to cast into Jingguan, and they were left to the wind and rain. The defeat in this battle was because Zhang Kang secretly leaked the military information, in order to severely damage Zhang Shouqi so that he could monopolize power...... In addition, he has killed many times, slaughtered the people on the border of our Tang Dynasty, shirked the guilt of the thieves, and used the heads of these people as thieves to hand them over. ”

Every word he said, and what he said was nothing more than heinous evil deeds.

Li Yi was shocked, and couldn't help but say: "No wonder Zhang Kang rebelled at this time, you have mastered such an important thing, if you are allowed to return to Chang'an, where will he have a chance to rebel?" He said with a movement in his heart, and said: "The bizarre death of Zhang Shouqi is very likely not to commit suicide but to kill him." In this way, His Majesty is wrong to blame General An Sishun. Quickly, this king will immediately arrange someone to send you back to Beijing to show that everything is ......"

Saying that, he and Guo Ziyi glanced at each other, and they both saw the meaning in each other's eyes.

Zhang Kang rebelled, not to mention that he had great righteousness, but his words did encourage the morale of the Northeast Army.

If all this true news is disseminated, the military spirit of the Northeast Army will inevitably be shaken, and the people of the Northeast will also have hostile hearts if they kill good people and make meritorious deeds.

Originally, they waited for work at ease, and the chance of winning was seventy percent, but now it is ninety percent.
