Mo Li saw the uncertain look on his face, knowing that he didn't trust him, so he said: "Li Guo, you don't have to think about anything else, I said, if I Mo Li didn't send troops to Liaodong within half a year, you can be free, and I will do what I say." And I won't ask you to attack your former accomplices in half a year. ”

Li Guo thought about it, anyway, he was originally a person to die, and now he promised him, it was just one more choice, a choice of when to die and how to die.

To be dead now is to be dead, and probably no one will remember themselves, except for their own uncle. And if you promise Mo Li, you will have at least half a year to live. Half a year later, if Mo Li really fulfilled his promise, no matter which one of them was beneficial to him.

If Moli hadn't gone to Liaodong, he would have let himself go, and then he would have been able to find his uncle again, in order to make a comeback. If he breaks his promise and doesn't let himself go, the worst outcome will be just a death, but one will die early and the other will die late.

And if Mo Li really sent troops to Liaodong, then he would not be wronged to follow him, and he would finally be able to realize his wish to fight with the Tartars.

Thinking of this, Li Guo nodded and said, "Okay!" That's it! ”

Mo Li and Guan Feng glanced at each other, laughed and said, "Boy, you lost!" ”

Li Guo was stunned and said, "Why did you lose before you started?" ”

Mo Li said: "Because we were originally guarding the border pass in Liaodong Town, and we were subordinates of Inspector Yuan before. ”

"You are Yuan Chonghuan's subordinates?" Li Guo said in surprise.

"Yes, the siege of Jinzhou in August last year was ......solved by us," Mo Li was saying, when suddenly a herald sent by Cao Wenzhao came to report that the peasant army in the city had fled from the north gate and asked for reinforcements.

Mo Li's face changed for a moment, and at this time, his subordinate soldiers also came to report that a fire had been found in the city, and he was currently organizing people to put out the fire.

Mo Li decisively ordered Guan Feng to lead his troops to pursue the fleeing peasant army with Cao Wenzhao, if these thieves in northern Shaanxi let them get into the ravines, it would not be easy to exterminate them.

Li Guo was a little stunned and looked at Mo Li's command of his subordinates, the pursuit of pursuit, the fire fighting, the capture of prisoners, and the dispatch of troops to quickly control the main roads in the city and clean up the battlefield.

Li Guo was a little confused for a while, Mo Li said that they were Yuan Chonghuan's subordinates, and they fought the Jinzhou War last year, I don't know if it's true or not. At the same time, I was a little worried about my uncle, and I didn't know if they had escaped.

The fire in the city did not spread for long before it was quickly extinguished by the people in the city organized by the Pingyang Army, because Wang Ziyong and Luo Rucai only cared about running for their lives when they fled, where was they in the mood to set fires everywhere, and the peasant soldiers who were in charge of arson saw that everyone ran out of the city in a swarm, of course, they were afraid that they would stay behind and be caught up by the officers and soldiers, and they were even more afraid that they would be burned to death by themselves, so they were all perfunctory.

After extinguishing the fire, the Pingyang army quickly organized manpower to restore order in Hequ City.

Cao Wenzhao, Guan Feng, Cheng Qingzhu and others led troops to chase and kill the peasant army, because the terrain was not familiar, only chased out more than 30 miles, and then disappeared the trace of the peasant army, because of the lessons of Cao Bianjiao and Ma Jinzhong, Cao Wenzhao and others did not dare to chase again, and decided to return to Hequ City.

Of course, this pursuit was not without successes, regardless of the results of the siege, just starting the pursuit to the class division along the way, nearly 2,000 peasant troops were killed, and 7,000 people were captured. In fact, the peasant army in the city only escaped from Wang Ziyong, Luo Rucai, Li Zicheng and other troops, totaling more than 9,000 people.

Cao Wenzhao was afraid that leading the army to chase far away would make Moli in Hequ City become insufficient and difficult to control, so he discussed with Guan Feng and Cheng Qingzhu and immediately led his troops back to Hequ.

At that moment, Mo Li ordered people to rectify the city defense and restore the order of life in Hequ City.

It was busy until nightfall, and everyone cleaned up the Hequ County Ya and stationed it as a temporary headquarters.

Everyone was already hungry, and only then did they have time for dinner.

In this battle of Hequ, a total of 5,731 peasant soldiers were killed, 13,869 people were captured, and nearly half of Wang Jiayin's men and horses were basically wiped out.

The Pingyang army only lost more than 1,400 people killed and thousands wounded. If it weren't for Ma Jinzhong and Cao Bianjiao, the casualties would have been even smaller.

But Mo Li was not happy at all, because most of these people were actually hungry people who couldn't survive, they just wanted to find a way to live, and many of them didn't even want to rebel themselves, but were forced to rebel by their relatives and friends or by the peasant army. Most of them are kind.

Mo Li said while eating: "This attack on Hequ, we successfully captured the county seat, which is the result of the soldiers fighting with their lives and blood. Although the battle is relatively smooth, we should not be blindly arrogant, because our opponent is not these peasants who have just laid down their hoes, but the post-gold tartars! ”

Mo Li paused for a moment and continued: "Moreover, now Wang Jiayin, Gao Yingxiang, Wang Ziyong and other bandit leaders have not been captured, and they continue to wander around with the remnants, they are familiar with the terrain, and this area is mostly hilly and ravine, which is very unfavorable to our pursuit, so we must not be complacent because we have won this victory. This should be the case at all times and in all places, and we must be careful and cautious in marching and fighting, and we must not be arrogant! ”

These words are completely in Ma Jinzhong and Cao Bianjiao, and at the same time, they are also using this to beat all the generals, don't be complacent as soon as you have achievements.

Ma Jinzhong and Cao Bianjiao were flushed when they heard this, and at the same time, they were secretly ashamed and blamed themselves in their hearts, if they hadn't underestimated the enemy, the brothers would not have lost so much.

Mo Li didn't plan to continue to fight on this issue, so he changed the conversation and said: "Wang Jiayin and the other bandit leaders have escaped, everyone will talk about how we should deal with it?" ”

Guan Feng first said: "My lord, I think we should first put order in Hequ City in order, and then let the imperial court send officials down to re-manage the affairs of Hequ, and then we can spare our energy to continue to pursue Wang Jiayin, Gao Yingxiang and other bandits." ”

The original officials in Hequ City were killed when the peasant army came, and those who fled fled have long since left any officials.

Mo Li nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Hequ City really can't be managed by no one, and we are soldiers, and our task is only to be responsible for suppressing bandits, so we have no time or energy." But if the imperial court is allowed to send people, it is estimated that no one will dare to take office for a while, which is indeed a problem, unless ......"
