Chapter Forty-Four: The Destruction of the Army
Chapter 43 Heart Disease Is Difficult to Treat
Li Guo's eyes were filled with murderous aura. The soldiers around Zheng Lian were secretly making a gesture, and they waited for Li Guo's order to cut off Zheng Lian's head.
Zheng Lian felt difficult to breathe for a while, his palms were sweaty, and he couldn't breathe.
It's not that he hasn't seen someone killing, so he can naturally see what Li Guo wants to do, and he doesn't know if it's a psychological effect, he can even feel that this murderous aura is like substance. Zheng Lian gritted his teeth and said: "I'm afraid, the ants are still stealing their lives, and besides, people don't care, and now is the time when Daxia dominates the world, and it is the time for a good man to make contributions, and the lower officials also want to die today." However, I knew that the general would not kill me. ”
"Really?" Li Guo's fingers moved slightly, the blade of the sword revealed two fingers, and the light of the flame was reflected on the blade of the sword, and there was a kind of demonic red as blood. Li Guo raised his head slightly and said, "Why don't I know?" ”
Li Guo was ready to start.
Of course, the two armies fought each other. Li Guo didn't want to break the rules casually.
He is also an old man of the rebels, even when the rebels were weak, they were indispensable to deal with the officials and soldiers, give gifts, buy lives, etc., there is no hookup, the messengers on both sides are constantly going back and forth, never say, kill the messenger.
It's just that now Li Guo can't kill if he doesn't want to.
"If you want to blame it, you have to blame you for saying too much." Li Guo said secretly in his heart.
Although Li Guo had been talking to Zheng Lian, he was also secretly paying attention to Ma Luan's face. Naturally, he couldn't see any clues.
But the more this is the case, the more apprehensive Li Guo becomes.
Although Ma Luan's strength has shrunk greatly, he still has a lot of people in his hands after all, plus Ma Shiying is his father, Li Guo doesn't dare to offend too much.
Zheng Lian's persuasion in and out of his words, even a fool can hear it, Li Guo doesn't do anything to prove his innocence, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do.
"The general doesn't miss Queen Zhuang alone?" Zheng Lian saw the danger and almost blurted out.
"Take." Li Guo's long sword was unsheathed, almost nailed to the table, and said, "Are you threatening me?" ”
It is also timely for Zheng Lian to say, otherwise Zheng Lian will be in a different place now.
Zheng Lian took a deep breath, and for a moment he felt sweating profusely, and his whole body was penetrated. It's almost as if it's fished out of the water, and the whole person is a little sore, and he can barely stand. But he gritted his teeth and continued: "Xiaguan doesn't dare, no matter what you do to King Shun, but Queen Zhuang is the queen of my dynasty, and my dynasty naturally wants to shelter her, but the queen of Gao is implicated, so it's hard to say." ”
This so-called Empress Zhuang is the empress of Emperor Dashun Zhuang posthumously crowned by the Xia Dynasty, that is, Li Zicheng's wife Gao.
Although Zheng Lian said no
Recognize, but between the lines, it means threat. Zheng Lian said with a bit of a rogue energy of exchanging a life for a life: "Empress Gao is also the elder of His Majesty, the matter of Emperor Xian and Emperor Zhuang is their own business, and now that everyone has gone, why bother with it?" ”
"Alright." Ma Luan, who had not spoken beside him, said: "If you come, just say this, you can go." ”
Zheng Lian only felt that he had walked around the ghost gate, and he felt a little chill all over his body, and said: "The war book is here, please take a look at King Shun." ”
Li Guo took it, almost didn't look at it, and wrote three words on it: "Got it." Then he smashed it to Zheng Lian and said, "Get out." ”
I don't know if Zheng Lian's courage has been exhausted, or if Zheng Lian has been almost scared. Hearing Li Guo say get out, he felt relieved and immediately retreated.
After Li Guomu sent Zheng Lian out, he turned his head and said to Ma Luan: "Thank you Master Ma for your understanding." ”
Li Guo understood that he really couldn't care about the Gao family.
It's not that the relationship between Li Guo and Gao is good. After all, Li Guo is not Li Zicheng's biological son, but a nephew, and the relationship between him and the Gao family is separated by a layer, and people in the troubled times can say a lot of things without a bottom line in order to survive. So the bottom line in his heart is much lower.
But he couldn't help but estimate Gao's. It's not about feelings, it's purely about interests.
First of all, Li Guo's strength in the loyal battalion does not occupy an absolute proportion, but why the generals of other departments listened to Li Guo's words, without him, is because his surname is Li, Li Shimin's Li. Li Zicheng's Li, his head is no longer engraved with Li Zicheng's name all the time.
This made the people in the loyalty camp willing to be used by Li Guo.
The same is true of success, and the same is true of failure.
It is precisely because in the eyes of outsiders that Li Zicheng and Li Guo are inseparable, and Li Guo cannot but estimate Gao's decision. And don't forget that Gao is still a high one.
is reasonable, Li Guo has to give way. So he wanted to thank Ma Luan for his size.
Ma Luan said: "General Li, come to vote sincerely, I naturally trust General Li, thieves have little skills in carving insects, and they can help you and me, General Li doesn't have to worry." ”
Li Guo said: "Master Ma, I understand the righteousness, and I admire and admire it. ”
Ma Luan said: "It's over, it's over." ”
Although Li Guo said this, his heart felt much colder.
There is no other reason, Ma Luan said it too politely.
Ma Luan talked to Li Guo, and he had never been so polite.
Such politeness is likely to bring not trust, but complete distrust. It can even be alienated. Li Guochu didn't understand it when he heard it, but it was a moment later that he understood Ma Luan
No matter how much he does or what he does, he never knows what he trusts.
Li Guo's heart was gloomy as if it was raining, but in his tone, he still said as usual: "The thieves are here to make an appointment, but I don't know what Master Ma thinks? ”
Ma Luan said: "This is a good opportunity, as long as the main force of the Xia army is destroyed in a battle here, Changsha City will naturally be able to turn the corner." The safety of the court depends on the general. In the next dang, he tried his best to assist the general to break the thief, as long as the general gave an order, even if it was the head of a horse, he was willing to send it. ”
When Li Guo heard this, his heart was slightly cold.
But I don't know where this coldness comes from.
In fact, Li Guo was very reluctant to fight this battle here, but now he couldn't avoid the war. War is never something you can walk if you want to. Now in front of Li Guo, there is no other choice at all, only a battle, if you evacuate from the battle, you may not be able to withdraw at all, or from retreat to rout.
No matter what Ma Luan thinks now. Li Guo knew that he had no choice, so he had to say impassionedly: "Since Master Ma can trust Li, Li will definitely go all out in a battle tomorrow." It's just that the thieves came from two places, but they also bothered Master Ma. ”
Ma Luan said, "General Li, please?" ”
Li Guo said: "The northern thieves have also seen it, but they don't know that the thieves in the south are thieves, the elite of the puppet country, and they are still above the people and horses in the north, so the non-loyal battalion is invincible, I am willing to deal with the enemy in the south, and the thieves in the north will be handed over to Lord Ma, Lord Ma only needs to hold on, and after the victory in the south, it is not too late to take care of them." ”
The reason why Li Guo arranged it this way was also based on the virtue of the people in Maluan's headquarters.
The men and horses of the Maluan headquarters, in the battles again and again, fully revealed their ignorance and incompetence. Li Guo didn't dare to entrust him with a heavy task to deal with the thieves in the north, and especially told Ma Luan to ask him to defend instead of attack, and defense was enough. This also shows that what Li Guo wants to implement is the strategy of defending the north and attacking the south.
The north remains on the defensive, just hold off the thieves' onslaught. Li Guo had to deal with Zhang Xuan's headquarters independently.
Ma Luan agreed, and Li Guo discussed with him for a while, and after finalizing many details one by one. Li Guo sent Ma Luan away.
As soon as Ma Luan was sent away, Li Guo's face suddenly became ugly, the reason why this is the case is because the war is like a black cloud pressing down on the city, what will it look like, Li Guo has no bottom in his heart now. On the other hand, what will be Ma Luan's attitude?
Will the knots of both sides dissipate under such pressure, or will the fruits of suspicion grow?
Li Guo didn't know about this.
"I can only take one step at a time, and I can't go back anyway." Li Guo said secretly in his heart. I don't know why, there was a hint of regret in this tone.
