After yesterday's battle, Liu Guoneng suffered heavy losses, yesterday's battle was only a little more than an hour, and the number of casualties in his own righteous army reached as many as 5,000, and almost no officers and soldiers were killed or wounded, and the most hateful thing is that they almost did not touch the officers and soldiers, so many people were killed and wounded! Now the morale of his own rebels is extremely low, it is simply a tiger change, if it weren't for the news that he concealed the news that the rear was surrounded by Ma Xianglin's white-pole cavalry, I'm afraid that the morale of the rebels would have collapsed long ago, and now he is facing a dilemma, advancing, they can't cross the river, retreating, and now their tens of thousands of people are almost all infantry, and they will definitely be attacked before and after, if they are defeated, the consequences are unimaginable, but they can't keep consuming like this.

In Liu Guoneng's big tent, Liu Guoneng was studying the map with the sentinels below at this time to see how to break through.

"How much do we have left?" Liu Guoneng asked.

"General, our army has enough food, which can last at least three months!" Liu Sentinel said that they had searched Yunyang fiercely, this Huguang is richer than Henan, and they can get a few months of military rations if they break a small county town.

"That's good, at least we have time to delay!" When Liu Guoneng heard that there were still three months of food, his heart was a lot calmer.

"General, I think we should go back, the combat effectiveness of this De'an guard is really terrifying, the entire Ming Dynasty is probably only Guan Ning's army has such a strong combat effectiveness, if we don't sit still, we can only pick soft persimmons, although this white pole soldier is also strong in combat, but it will not trap us here!" Liu Sentinel said, his analysis is very correct, Ma Xianglin's cavalry is small, it is indeed impossible to seal them down, at most it is to defeat them, the thieves have such characteristics, they will be dispersed with one blow, but they will slowly gather together after that, so they will always be destroyed, and the officers and soldiers will be finished if they fail once, but the thieves are not afraid of failure, it doesn't matter if they fail ten times, they can go back again at any time!

Liu Guoneng shook his head, he didn't agree with such a risky approach, and snorted: "The white pole soldiers are not to be afraid, what they are afraid of is that they are flanked in front and back, if we are fighting with the white pole soldiers, Qin Yiming's army crosses the river, then the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

Another sentinel pointed to the map on the table and said, "General, then we can only escape into the difficult Hongshan, and then cross the Hongshan into the Chengtian Mansion, which has a tomb, or we will also learn from Zhang Xianzhong and dig up the ancestral grave of his Zhu family." ”

Liu Guoneng slapped the table and scolded: "Bastard, you can think of such obscene and dirty things, what does it have to do with the dead when we are the living?" The sin is not as good as the parents, the disaster is not as good as the wife and children, Zhang Xianzhong is that shameless bastard, you learn from him, no one is allowed to mention the matter of digging the grave in the future, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

Liu Guoneng suddenly became angry, frightened those sentinels one by one, Liu Guoneng turned around and continued: "It is feasible to escape into the mountains, but there are many of us, and the mountain road march is probably difficult, Liu Sentinel, you go to the local father and elder hunter to see who is familiar with the path in the Hongshan Mountain, and let him be our guide." ”

"Yes, General!"

"General, the messenger across the river has sent a letter!" A rebel ran in and handed over the letter.

Liu Whistle took over the letter and said suspiciously: "How could there be a letter delivered at this time, is it to let us live?" ”

Liu Whistle said this is not his wishful thinking, many local armies, in order not to be affected by the war, have negotiated with them, as long as they can settle down, the local army should not see it, and send them out of the country!

Liu Guoneng took the letter, opened it, and immediately knelt down and said: "This is my mother's letter, this is my mother's letter!" Mother, the son is not filial, the son is not filial! ”

Liu Guoneng knelt on the ground and cried, the sentinels did not know why, looked at each other, Liu Sentinel took the letter, read it, and immediately scolded: "Hmph, our general Gao Yi, just now said that the crime is not as good as the parents and the disaster is not as good as the wife and children, this Qin Yiming is so shameless, he dares to hold the general's mother hostage." ”

"What?" Everyone was angry, one by one clenched their fists, gritted their teeth, none of them knew that Liu Guoneng was a dutiful son, and this officer and soldier were also hateful, and such a shameless thing could be done.

"General, let's kill him, it's a big deal to fight him to the death and snatch the general's mother!"

"Yes, kill it!" Everyone agreed.

Liu Guoneng's mother, Zheng, was originally the daughter of a solid family, married Liu Guoneng's father, but was widowed very early, and the family was poor, but fortunately, the Liu family still has a few acres of thin fields, so that the Zheng family can raise Liu Guoneng to grow up, Zheng can read and reason, although the family is poor, but Zheng has not neglected to discipline Liu Guoneng.

Liu Guoneng remembered that when he was young, one day the backyard wall of his house suddenly collapsed, revealing a jar of silver coins, Liu Guoneng was very happy at that time, and felt that with this money, their family could live a good life, and they could put on clothes and eat rice, but Zheng taught him: "I heard that it is my own disaster to get something for nothing, if God really pities our family is poor, it will bless my son to grow up safely, and he will succeed in his studies in the future and become a useful talent, I dare not use this money." His mother buried the jar later.

In this way, they have been dependent on each other for more than 20 years, Zheng is getting older and older, and Liu Guoneng has also become stronger, but he found that no matter how hard he tried, he could not let his old mother eat enough and wear warm clothes.

Looking at his mother's letters, Liu Guoneng was heartbroken, thinking back to everything before, his mother's love and strictness are vivid. He was worried that his mother would be angry, but he was even more worried about his mother's safety, Qin Yiming was able to send his mother's letter over, then his mother must have been controlled by him, his eyes were already red, if Qin Yiming really did anything unfavorable to his mother, he would die desperately.

"Order all brothers, be ready to attack at any time, no matter what, I will also snatch my mother back!" Liu Guoneng's tone was extremely resolute, and his heart was on the verge of collapse.

Inside the barracks of officers and soldiers.

The little monkey and Ah Hua were playing outside the tent, with nothing to do, and the smoker Song Xiance was squatting on the ground smoking a big cigarette, at this time, Yang Leprosy, Li Cheng and other generals happened to come over to discuss something with Qin Yiming, and when they saw the little monkey waiting outside, they all consciously did not enter the tent to disturb.

"This horse girl turned out to be Lord Qin's cousin, and she is also Qin Liangyu's daughter, I didn't expect Lord Qin to have such a relationship, but I have never heard of it!" Li Cheng was waiting outside, bored, and began to talk to Yang Jiuyi, he was already familiar with Yang Jiuyi, seeing that the guards of De'an Thousand Households were so powerful and well-equipped, he was very envious, so he kept chasing Yang Jiuyi for advice, wondering how this army was trained, Yang Jiuyi did not hide his selfishness, and said all the measures of Qin Yiming after he arrived at De'an Thousand Households, Li Cheng deeply admired, especially Qin Yiming actually killed more than 100 elite soldiers of Zuo Liangyu in order to protect the people of Lu County, Qin Yiming's boldness, he is also ashamed of himself, although the soldiers of the guard under his rule are not weak, but in comparison, it is simply not worth mentioning.

"Hey, the falling flowers deliberately follow the flowing water, the flowing water is ruthless in love with the falling flowers, I'm afraid some people are worried!" Yang Jiuyi's sudden sigh of emotion made Li Cheng and Meng Ruhu confused.

The little monkey saw that several generals had been waiting outside for a long time, so he shouted into the tent: "Young master, Yang Qianhu and others are here, and they have been waiting outside for a long time. ”

"Come on in!" Inside the tent, Qin Yiming replied loudly.

When everyone entered the tent, they saw that Ma Fengyi's face was not good-looking, and she looked a little angry.

Ma Fengyi ignored others, and asked Qin Yiming: "Cousin, I don't understand what kind of origin you are talking about, what blood relatives cannot marry within three generations, I don't believe it, my Han people have always been like this, it has not lasted for thousands of years, and it is what you said about Darwin, isn't it also married to his cousin?" ”

Everyone looked embarrassed, what kind of species origin of this Qin Yiming, what blood relatives within three generations cannot be married, isn't this Qin Yiming's excuse? Lianzhu's marriage has been a thousand years, and everyone is used to it when my cousin gets married to my cousin, how can there be such a thing? Everyone looked at Song Xiance, wanting to find the answer on Song Xiance's face, but Song Xiance also shook his head.

"Okay, I'm also talking about fun, now let's get down to business!" Qin Yiming didn't want to continue the discussion, he just wanted to subtly let Ma Fengyi accept his ideas, instead of forcibly instilling them in her.

Yang Jiuyi hurriedly answered at this time, he knew that Qin Yiming was quite embarrassed at this time, and everyone was embarrassed, so it was better to divert the topic.

"My lord, we are here to ask, if Liu Guoneng still does not surrender after Liu's mother comes tomorrow, then what should we do?" When Yang Jiuyi's words came out, Meng Ruhu and Li Cheng, Ai Wannian and the others all nodded.

"This letter from Liu Guoneng's mother was sent, and I don't know what the effect is, but everyone must be ready to fight at any time, maybe this Liu Guoneng can't jump off the wall in a hurry!" Qin Yiming said that he knew that Liu Guoneng was a filial son, and if this filial son thought that he was blackmailing him with his mother, he didn't know if he would lose his mind and do unpredictable things.

Ai Wannian was puzzled and asked, "No, it's just a letter, if they really attack, wouldn't they be sent to death?" ”

"What if Liu Guo can think that I arrested his mother and threatened him?!" Qin Yiming said.

"Then if Liu Guoneng is really a filial son, he will definitely call!" Ai Wannian is very sure that he has an elderly mother himself, and if it were him, he would choose this way.

Everyone nodded, if Liu Guo could misunderstand it like this, there was indeed such a possibility, but wouldn't that be better?

"That's not just the right thing to use, hehe, it looks like we have a chance to win!"

"No, this will make Qin Mangfu's notoriety far and wide, absolutely not! The sin is not as good as the parents, the disaster is not as good as the wife and children, the Ming Dynasty has always ruled the country with filial piety, if it spreads out at this time, I am afraid that it will lose the hearts of the people. Song Xiance objected.

Qin Yiming nodded, the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty are very important, if he loses the hearts of the people, then he can really only be a martial artist, just a killing tool, the walking dead.

"Then we're repairing a book?" Li Cheng tentatively proposed.

"No!" Song Xiance said with a smile.
