．? 8]1]" Kong Youde didn't speak, but Geng Zhongming couldn't bear it at first.

Mao Chenglu's eyes swept around, and after making sure that there were only himself, Kong, and Geng in the room, he lowered his voice and said, "Deputy Marshal, what are we raising troops for?" ”

For what? Isn't that nonsense, if we could stutter and eat in Wuqiao that day, could we rise up and rebel? We Kong Youde is also a general of the Ming Dynasty, and following Governor Sun may not have a future.

At the end of the day, it's not about being able to live.

"Of course, for the brothers to have a way to live." Kong Youde glanced at Mao Chenglu and said coldly.

"Shine! We rebelled in order to live for the brothers, but now that the imperial court is pressed by a large number of soldiers, Dengzhou is a small place, in a corner, how can the brothers have a way to live? In my opinion, since Daming doesn't give us a way to live, then why don't we go to Dongyu! Mao Chenglu said angrily.

Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Geng Zhongyu were taken aback, and couldn't help but look at each other, and no one spoke, all of them were frightened by Mao Chenglu.

After half a ring, Kong Youde coughed lightly, broke the silence, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Chenglu, what kind of way do you live!" Many of the soldiers in the army have a common enmity with the Eastern Prisoners, even if we are willing to surrender, I am afraid that the soldiers will not want to follow. ”

"That's it! Back then, we followed Mao Shuai, how many battles did we fight with the Tartars, how many of them were killed, and how many of our brothers did the Tartars kill? There is a feud on both sides, this Jurchen Tartar wishes that we were all dead, how can he accept us? Geng Zhongming was also reluctant to reduce the gold, so he couldn't help but scoff.

Mao Chenglu smiled and said, "Deputy Marshal, Brother Zhongming, if you can't even convince these old brothers under your own hands, then how can we still make trouble?" Anyway, as long as the deputy marshal talks, my subordinates will definitely go with the deputy marshal! ”

Kong Youde was choked by Mao Chenglu, pretending to be indifferent on the surface, but in his heart he greeted Mao Chenglu's younger sisters. Your sister, as soon as Lao Tzu said that the brothers were afraid that they would not follow the Tou Dongyu, you said that your subordinates would definitely obey orders...... What do you mean?

Geng Zhongyu got up and shouted at Mao Chenglu unceremoniously: "Mao Da, when the handsome man was there, you have always been close to the Dongyu, and now you want us to vote for the Dongyu, the tent is your own brother, Mao Da, you might as well say it thoroughly, have you always been in contact with the Dongyu, just waiting for the brothers to cross the sea to invest in the gold when we have no way out?" ”

"It's not important, it's important that we have to find a way to live, you say?" Mao Chenglu said in a good time: "Throwing Dongyu is also for everyone's good, can't you just wait for death here?" You tell me, where can we find a way to live if we don't go to the East? ”

"This ......" Geng Zhongming and Geng Zhongyu were speechless.

Indeed, now that the official army has repeatedly advanced and the hundreds of thousands of troops have been defeated, the remaining remnants of the defeated army will be forced to retreat into Dengzhou, and the originally good situation has now become a dilemma.

Mao Chenglu turned to look at Kong Youde and said: "Deputy Marshal, now, let's open the skylight and say something, my subordinates and Ning Wan of the Jin State have passed a letter, and the other party said that the Great Khan of the Jin State Emperor Taiji does not mind our previous feuds at all, and we are welcome to defect to the past at any time!" ”

Geng Zhongming, Geng Zhongyu and others were all shocked, it seems that Mao Da really colluded with the Tartars!

"This ......" Kong Youde hesitated a little, pulling the flag to rebel and selling yourself to be a traitor are two different things, how many traitors in history can have a good end? Even after death, future generations will be scolded by people pointing at their backbones.

Besides, Geng Zhongming is not unreasonable, Dongjiang Town fought to the death with the Jurchens in the year of the Apocalypse, after so many years, both sides hated each other to the core, how could they be together.

Besides, most of the brothers in the army are a family that has been harmed by the Jurchen Tartars, and this will take them to vote for the Tartars who have a deep blood feud, can they be willing? With Mao Chenglu's army, he really doesn't have much confidence.

Mao Chenglu saw Kong Youde's hesitation in his eyes, he knew that if he didn't move Kong Youde, it would never happen.

For this reason, Mao Chenglu further said, "Deputy Marshal, the army's spirit has long been unstable, if you don't take advantage of the Ming army's attack, when the army is surrounded, you can't leave if you want to!" ”

Geng Zhongming suddenly said: "Deputy Marshal, we might as well surrender the officers and soldiers!" Anyway, we were originally the official army, and now it is not a shame to surrender the official army. ”

Mao Chenglu shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Zhongming, aren't you harming the deputy marshal!" Your brother and I can both surrender, with the soldiers under my command, the court will always give me a way to live, but the deputy marshal is afraid that there will be no way to live. We have smashed Shandong and Denglai to a pulp these days, and the imperial court can't help but hate the deputy marshal now! ”

"However, didn't the marshal in Laiyang also demote the official army? I don't seem to have heard of what happened to the official army commander! Geng Zhongming said a little unconvinced.

Mao Chenglu sneered: "That's because we still occupy Dengzhou now, and we haven't fallen into their hands yet!" If we kill Dashuai at this time, they are afraid that we will never dare to surrender again! ”

"It's not possible to surrender the official army, we made such a big move in Denglai, so can the emperor spare us?" Kong Youde was moved by Mao Chenglu's words. That's right, he, Mao Chenglu, Geng Zhongming, and Geng Zhongyu can all surrender to the official army, and as the actual leader of the rebellion, the imperial court will never let him go.

"Chenglu, you hurry up and find someone to negotiate with the Jin country, if there is really no way to retreat, we have no choice but to go to the Jin country." Kong Youde said slowly.

I'd rather bear the people of the world than the people of the world bear me!

Whether it's Dongyu, Beiyu, or Daming, as long as you give you a way to live, you are a mother with milk!

Geng Zhongming and Geng Zhongyu brothers were shocked in their hearts, did the deputy marshal really want to invest in gold to be a traitor?

Mo Li gathered all his soldiers and horses, and was about to continue to march into Dengzhou, leveling Kong Youde's rebels in one fell swoop, but he didn't know that a big snowstorm suddenly came, the severity of the snow was beyond imagination, and the snow on the road was knee-deep, how could such weather be able to march and fight?

Mo Li had no choice but to let the army continue to be stationed in Laiyang City, and wait for this snowstorm to pass before marching.

This snowstorm raged for seven or eight days, and in the past seven or eight days, all the officers and soldiers in Laiyang City were nested in the camp and never came out.

The people in Laiyang City also shrank in their homes, and the entire Laiyang City seemed to be empty.

In such a snowy weather, the Spring Festival has arrived.

Due to the heavy snowfall, the difficulty of material transportation, and the arrival of tens of thousands of troops, food and other materials in Laiyang City have become scarce. Although a lot of grain and grass materials for the rebels were captured in several major wars, tens of thousands of soldiers ate horses and chewed a lot of them every day.

What's more, there are tens of thousands of people in Laiyang City, because they were captured by the rebels before, almost all the people in Laiyang City were looted by the rebels, and there was no surplus food at home. With so many people, we can't watch them all starve to death, so the officers and soldiers have to take out a part of the small amount of grain and grass to help the refugees.

Because of the food crisis, there is no festive atmosphere in Laiyang City to welcome the New Year, and the whole city seems silent and lonely.

Seeing that the remaining grain was only enough for the soldiers and civilians of a city to eat for ten days and a half, Moli discussed with Zhu Dadian, Lu Hanzhang, Cao Bianjiao, Zu Dacheng and others, and decided to send people to Laizhou City in the snow, so that Xie Lian and Xu Congzhi could transport a batch of grain to relieve the emergency.

Ba Laodao took the initiative to ask for orders to go to Laizhou.

Mo Li thought about it and agreed. At this time, the wind and snow were raging, and it was impossible to expect Zhu Dadian's Lu soldiers and Zu Dacheng's Liao soldiers and others to borrow food against the severe cold, and they could only rely on their old brothers to be trusted.

Ba Laodao gathered 2,000 subordinates, and Mo Li told Ba Laodao that they should wear more cotton clothes, after all, the wind and snow are too big, and people are still a little frozen when they hide in the house, not to mention walking in the ice and snow in the wild.

Laiyang to Laizhou is only a few dozen miles, normally speaking, one day is enough to go back and forth, but the heavy snow weather is not easy to say.

"This thief is freezing to death!" Looking at the overwhelming snow outside the camp, Mo Li couldn't help but curse to God.

In later generations, there were scenes of heavy snow in winter, but the temperature would never be as cold as it is now, and it seems that the Xiaoice River period was really not in vain.

It's the first day of the Lunar New Year again, and this is the second Spring Festival that Moli has spent in this era. I remembered that on the first day of the Lunar New Year last year, I happily married Lin Guo and Liang Peijun, two young and beautiful little wives, but now that almost a year has passed, I don't know how Lin Guo is now?

I haven't seen Lin Guo for so long, and when Mo Li is empty, sometimes the sweet time with Lin Guo flashes in his mind, hey, cute fruit! I miss you for my husband!

Liang Peijun snuggled beside him, looked up and saw that he was a little distracted, and there was a rare tenderness on his face, knowing that he was thinking about Lin Guo, he pouted, and was slightly jealous: "Husband, what are you thinking?" You're thinking about your sister again, right? ”

Mo Li came back to his senses, saw Liang Peijun's jealous face, couldn't help but be a little funny, and said jokingly: "What, our family's big beauty is still jealous?" You're not afraid of losing your teeth on such a cold day. ”

"Husband, you hate it! Aren't people by your side, you are still thinking about your sister, hmph, ignore you......" Liang Peijun pretended to be angry and said.

Mo Li smiled and said: "Lady, just because you are by your husband's side, you don't think there is anything, but Guo'er is alone in Lingchuan, and she can't see her husband at all, hey, I don't know how she is now, and the child should be born if she wants to come......"

Speaking of this, Mo Li's face was filled with loving tenderness, just because he thought of the child he had never met.

Liang Peijun was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, our little ink ink should also appear......
