Chapter 126: The Oath of Duty
"Say it!"
"General Qiyu, the last general is also going to Liaodong to kill the Tartars!" Cheng Qingzhu said angrily.
Mo Li glanced at Cheng Qingzhu and said unhurriedly: "Why, Brother Cheng didn't even listen to the general's orders?" ”
Cheng Qingzhu was stunned, and hurriedly said: "The last general will not dare!" ”
Mo Li walked up to Cheng Qingzhu and said, "Brother Cheng, I know you also want to kill the Tartars, but we can't ignore the bandits and bandits in this river meander!" This is a task entrusted to us by the imperial court, and it must be completed, not to mention that the development situation of Hequ is very good, we can't just give up and throw it to the thieves in vain! If this is the case, not only will the court not let us go, but the common people will not forgive us! ”
Cheng Qingzhu wanted to say something, but Mo Li stopped him: "Brother Cheng, don't worry, there will be a chance to fight with Jiannu in the future, you don't have to be in a hurry, after the thieves around the river meanders are eliminated, the general will ask the court to transfer you to fight with Jiannu, don't worry!" ”
Cheng Qingzhu nodded, and said ashamedly: "General, the last general knows that he is wrong!" ”
Mo Li nodded and continued: "Xia Yi jump! ”
"The last general!" Xia Yiqiao hurriedly stood up and responded.
"Ben will order you, immediately bring people to Du Geng and He Zhendong to give orders, let them rush to Jinzhou with their troops, and gallop to the aid of Daling River with Ben General!" Mo Li said loudly.
"Yes! The last general will set off! Xia Yi jumped and took the order.
"The rest of the people, each of them will go back to the camp to check the weapons and equipment, food supplies, and after all preparations are stopped, they will immediately send troops to Liaodong!" Mo Li said again.
"Yes!" The crowd went to their own devices.
Gao Qiqian coughed lightly and said, "General Mo, have you really decided?" Don't you wait for the imperial court to come before setting off? ”
Mo Li glanced at Gao Qiqian with some disgust, and said: "Father-in-law Gao, I have made up my mind, it is useless to say more, if I wait any longer, I am afraid that it will be too late!" Everyone pack up and get ready to go! ”
Gao Qiqian shook his head and said: "Since this is the case, then our family will not say anything more, but when we arrive in Beizhili, our family has some things to report to the emperor, so we will not accompany General Mo to Jinzhou." ”
Mo Li had expected him to say this, and he couldn't help but despise Gao Qiqian very much in his heart, this bird eunuch, really a waste man with no eggs, as soon as he heard about the war with Jiannu, he was immediately frightened, no wonder in history he would ignore Lu Xiangsheng and let him fight alone until he died.
However, it is not necessarily a bad thing to affect the mood without this bird eunuch by his side, at least he is not afraid of being made bad by his back. Bah, who's going to have such a turtle son, it's better to cut off the offspring!
Mo Li only thought about the benefits of Gao Qiqian's absence in the army, but he didn't know that this guy would actually give Chongzhen a small report, criticize himself, and find fault with himself. However, it's useless to know, his mouth grows on him, and he can't control it so much, so he can't kill him!
Mo Li's mind was all on the Daling River, thousands of miles away, and he didn't have time to pay attention to these, he just wanted to rush to Liaodong as soon as possible and rescue He Kegang.
An hour later, Guan Feng and Cao Bianjiao led 7,000 cavalry to set off first.
In the early morning of the next day, the army was assembled, and all the troops and horses were gathered. In addition to the 4,000 men and horses of Cheng Qingzhu's department who stayed in Hequ City, other generals such as Cao Wenzhao, Ma Jinzhong, Liao Xuewolf, Tong Dazhui and other generals all led the men and horses of the headquarters to organize the grain and grass and prepare to pull out at any time.
Li Guo has been placed under Guan Feng by Moli for several months, and Guan Feng is responsible for educating him in ideological transformation, transforming him from a blind peasant uprising into a fighter with ideals and aspirations, and this ideal is to defend the country and drive out the Tartars.
However, Li Guo was not interested in the Pingyang Army at first, and was resistant, although he did not resist much, but he did not really surrender to the Pingyang Army.
However, after witnessing the strong combat effectiveness and strict military discipline of the Pingyang Army, his mind gradually changed subtly.
Especially when he saw that Mo Li heard that Liaodong was in danger and immediately ordered to assemble troops and prepare to send troops to Liaodong, he couldn't help but be deeply shocked.
On the school field of the Hequ Barracks, more than 10,000 soldiers of the Pingyang Army stood in unison, looking at Mo Li and other generals who were walking slowly, and everyone had an excited look on their faces.
Mo Li walked to the front of the line, his eyes swept over the faces of the rows of soldiers, and said calmly and forcefully: "Brothers! Now the border is in an emergency, and the Tartars have surrounded Dalinghe City in the east of Jinzhou! More than 10,000 soldiers including Zu Shuai and General He, as well as nearly 20,000 people, were surrounded in the city by the Tartars, and it has been more than a month since they ran out of food! Think about it, how long can they hold out? ”
The soldiers stood silently, looking silently at their general, and in his eyes they read a kind of apprehension, and something called duty.
Mo Li continued: "At the beginning, on the day our team was founded, it was our goal to resist the Jiannu and drive out the Tartars! We've been training hard all this time in order to get rid of the Tartars one day! Now that the Tartars have arrived, can we wait any longer? Can we still remain indifferent and watch Zu Shuai and General He being besieged by the Tartars! ”
"Can't! No! Kill slaves! Kill slaves! ”
The soldiers shouted in unison.
"As you may know, the Tartars are very brave in battle, and there may be many of us who will never come back! Have you figured it out? If anyone is afraid, you can bring it up now, stay in Hequ, I don't force him, but if you go, you can't embarrass Lao Tzu! There must be no retreat without an order! Otherwise, Hugh blames the ruthlessness of military law! Is there anyone to stay? Mo Li said again.
"Swear to follow General Mo to the death! Kill the enemy for the country! The soldiers shouted in unison.
"Good! Today, let's kill Liaodong immediately and kill the Tartars without leaving a piece of armor! Mo Li said loudly.
"Leave no armor behind! Leave no piece of armor behind! ”
In the crowd, Li Guo was shocked by this soaring enthusiasm for fighting. When the peasant army was mixed, although the peasant army was also very numerous and had a great momentum, it was mostly a rabble, and the war was often fought by relying on the strength of the people to persevere, and many peasant armies did not have clear discipline regulations, most of them were just momentary will, and at first they were just looting for survival, and rushing to grab it became inertia, and in essence it was a group of robbers who got together.
But what burst out of these soldiers of the Pingyang Army in front of them was full of fighting enthusiasm, and the murderous aura was terrifying. Li Guo remembered the situation when he made a bet with Mo Li, Mo Li said that within half a year, the Tartars would surround Dalinghe City, and then he would also lead his troops to Liaodong, and now it seems that everything he said has been fulfilled one by one. It seems that this person is really not simple.
Thinking of this, Li Guo walked out of the crowd, knelt down on one knee at Mo Li and said, "General Mo, subordinate Li Guo is willing to recruit Jiannu for the general's horse pawn!" ”
Mo Li was slightly stunned, secretly happy in his heart, but pretended to be expressionless and said lightly: "Get up!" In this case, in the future, you will be a thousand presidents under my account! ”
"General Xie!"
Mo Li waved his hand and said loudly: "Let's go!" ”
Suddenly, a general came out of the queue in the Beijing camp and said loudly: "General, slow down!" ”
