Chapter 21: A Trick to Attack the Heart

"What?" Li Guo was furious and said, "How do you do things? ”

In fact, when the water battle of Dongting Lake was fierce, Li Guo had already gotten the news. After all, such a big movement can't be concealed if you want to.

He also had some ominous premonitions in his heart. But I never expected this defeat to be so miserable. And it was he who lost the most. A quarter of the strength of the loyal battalion was lost.

It's fine if you sink into Dongting Lake. Now all the Xia soldiers have been captured.

Li Guo knew the virtues of the soldiers under his command, and if they fell into the Qing army, maybe some of them would stick to the end. But when he fell into the Xia army, he didn't have this thought.

Thinking that he had given away more than 10,000 soldiers to the other party almost for nothing, he was so angry that he wanted to kill Huang Chaoxuan immediately.

But Huang Chaoxuan also came prepared. 、

I saw him kneeling on the ground with a thud and said, "The last general deserves to die, please punish the Hou Ye." ”

Zhang Xianbi only took a step behind Huang Chaoxuan, knelt on the ground, and did not give Li Guo a chance to speak, and said: "General Huang is certainly at fault, please see that he has no merit and hard work." ”

Zhang Xianbi is just the beginning.

A dozen random generals all knelt on the ground, and said almost in unison: "Please also ask Master Hou to see that General Huang has no merit and hard work, and he will be lightly punished." ”

Li Guo swept it, only to feel that it was extremely dazzling.

In the lobby, there are clearly two camps. One camp is the one who kneels on the ground, and the other is the one who stands on the side.

It's clear. The people kneeling on the ground were all Yueyang Army, and the people standing on the side were all loyal battalions.

"It's a forced palace." Li Guo said secretly in his heart.

At this moment, he couldn't wait to behead Huang Chaoxuan immediately. But reason told him that he could not do this, because if he did, it would cause a fire on both sides.

But I couldn't swallow this breath.

At this time, someone said in Li Guo's ear: "Master Ma is here." ”

Li Guo knew what Ma Luan meant when he heard this, took a deep breath, and said, "Please." ”

Without waiting for someone to be invited, Ma Luan walked in with the wind, and he didn't look sick at the moment. When he saw a person kneeling on the ground, he immediately said angrily: "Bastard thing." As he spoke, he kicked it over.

Ma Luan is just a scholar, and he doesn't have much strength on his feet, but he can kick a general with a big waist and a round waist down. In the blink of an eye, above the lobby, there are gourds rolling all over the ground.

Ma Luan came to Li Guo, bowed deeply to Li Guo and said, "Marquis Yunyang, it is my horse that is not strict, please forgive me." ”

Li Guo barely squeezed out a smile and said, "It's okay." ”

"But please rest assured, I will definitely give Hou Ye an explanation." In Ma Luan's tone, he said with a bit of a big bag: "Huang Chaoxuan." ”

Huang Chaoxuanben was kicked to the ground by Ma Luan and heard Ma Luan's words. Immediately knelt down again and said, "The last will be." ”

Ma Luan said, "You are guilty. ”

"The last will be convicted." Huang Chaoxuan said.

Ma Luan said: "In this case, if you have some merit for following me, you will be exempted from capital crimes, and if you come, you will be dragged down and severely punished with a hundred military sticks." ”

"Yes." The two guards beside Ma Luan agreed, and then pulled Huang Chaoxuan down.

"Ah-----" Huang Chaoxuan's screams came from outside.

Ma Luan said: "Master Hou thinks it's good to be like this? ”

Li Guo's tone was like ice, and he said, "Very good." ”

What else could he say?

Li Guo is not a fool, how can he not see that Ma Luan is playing a little trick. It can be described as both soft and hard. But Li Guo had to swallow it.

It's not that Li Guo doesn't have a temper.

Instead, as the actual main general of Yue Yangchengzhong. Li Guo clearly felt that the battle situation was slipping to the unfavorable side.

The more this is the case, the more he needs Yue Yangjun's assistance.

Of course, in his opinion, Huang Chao declared his guilt worthy of death. However, he could not accept a formal break with the Yueyang Army.

However, Huang Chaoxuan will not have a good time, and it is estimated that he will have to recuperate for several months after being beaten with a hundred military sticks.

"Report." An officer broke in and said, "Master Hou, Ma Guangyu is ----- under the city" The officer seemed to feel that it was not easy to say, and paused slightly.

"What are you doing?" Li Guo asked.

"Master Hou, please go and have a look." The officer said.

"Let's go." Li Guo said that he just didn't want to stay here, feeling extremely embarrassed, and his face was gloomy.

As soon as he got up to the city wall, Li Guo heard more than 100 people shouting in unison: "Have you all forgotten how you fought with the official army in the first place, and the brothers who died under the official saber?" Ask yourselves, are you worthy of them? ”

Li Guo just listened to one sentence, and his originally ugly face became more and more ugly. Even Ma Luan, who came with him, didn't have a good face.

This is the root knot between the loyal battalion and the officers and soldiers.

Longwu tried his best to win over the three generals, but he couldn't win over the people below.

At this moment, most of the loyal battalions are hardcore rebels. The half-hearted speculators, or the men and horses who had been collected from the official army, had all left the rebels.

Because of this, most of the lower-level non-commissioned officers are actually not friendly with the officers and soldiers.

After all, they have been fighting with the officials and soldiers for half their lives, and even many of the relatives of the soldiers have died in the hands of the officials and soldiers, but the army has always been the most class-oriented. The so-called officials crushed people to death in other places

Whether it can crush people to death may be doubtful. But in the ancient armies, there was no doubt about it.

No matter how much you indulge in the following thoughts, it is more to follow orders.

If you don't express it, it doesn't mean that the emotion doesn't exist.

Li Guo looked at the soldiers on the head of the city with his eyes, these soldiers were all loyal to the battalion, and he clearly saw that he was shaken.

"Spread my word." Li Guo immediately found more than 100 military men with loud voices and said, "Ma Guangyu, are you worthy of Ma Lao Hero by doing this?" ”

Under the loud voices of more than 100 people, this sentence spread far away. But after a while, he was stunned by Ma Guangyu and said: "When my grandfather was here, I saw that Uncle Luo still had to kneel and salute, Cao Ying and I are both family members, and now we are just going home, even if my grandfather is still here, I will approve." It's Li Guo, King Chuang wanted to kill Uncle Luo at the beginning, but now he is being killed by Uncle Luo, which is the grievance of the elders. Even so, today's saint is still posthumously crowned King Chuang, Emperor Dashunzhuang, and named you King Shun. You are a good prince, and you can't do it well today. Even if you are dead and see King Chuang underground, you don't know how King Chuang should feel when he sees what you do, you must know that he is an old man, all his life, no matter what he looks like, he has not surrendered to the official army. Now that the situation of our righteous army is very good, you have surrendered to the official army. ---------”

Li Guo's face burst out, and he shouted: "Drumming, drumming, drumming." ”

Under Li Guo's strict orders, countless big drums were beaten, and for a time the rumbling drums covered all the sounds. But Li Guo knew that he had already lost.

The sound of the drums could only temporarily drown out Ma Guangyu's voice. But it can't be covered forever.

Words are the most powerless thing, but they are also the most forceful things. Li Guo knew that he could prevent this voice and the spread of this thought.

Li Guo took a deep breath and said secretly in his heart: "What a little Zhou Yu, what a plan to attack the heart." He shook his hand and left, saying, "Go down, don't listen to the other party's shouting, and beat the drum whenever the other party shouts." If the other party shoots letters into the city, they will all collect them and do not hide them privately. ”

"Yes." The generals defending the city said one after another.

Li Guo said secretly: "No matter your thousand clever plans, I will follow the rules, that is, I will abide by them." I'll see what you do. ”

However, this time Li Guo wronged Zhang Xuan.

This plan to attack the heart is not what Zhang Xuan thinks, but what Ma Guangyu thinks. Ma Guangyu is not as good as his father in war. But it was not useless, at least he sensitively felt the confusion of the lower-level soldiers of the loyalty battalion, and found an opportunity to offer this strategy to Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan looked at the city from a distance, although he couldn't see what was happening above the city, but judging from the situation that Li Guo didn't dare to accept it.

It should work.
