"It's my lord, my lord is here."

"Everything, my lord!"

As Guo Yaoshi inspected the defense of the city wall, the soldiers who saw him saluted sideways. Some junior officers gathered around him and greeted him excitedly.

Pharmacist Guo smiled at some of them and said, "Brother Qi, Ma Dahuzi, are you still living well in the fort?" How is the old mother at home? ”

When these grassroots officers saw that Guo Yaoshi was so affectionate to them in front of everyone, they all felt that their faces were bright, and they all said in unison: "Okay, all the adults just rest assured, they are all well arranged, the brothers in the fort have a place to live, and there is also hot soup and hot water to drink, we are all very satisfied." The old mother of the family has also settled down, and the adults can rest assured, but whenever there is a war. We'll do our best to defend it! ”

The others also agreed: "Don't worry, no matter how many people come from the enemy, we will follow the adult's side, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, as long as the adult commands, never go backwards." ”

Pharmacist Guo's face was comforting, and he made a deep sigh; He responded to everyone: "There are all the brothers, and I always rely on you to win the army today." ”

Putting on a show is a compulsory lesson for every superior, but those who are not good at showing off will either let their subordinates stab them or let their enemies stab them. And then heat up the grinding that is pressing on the floor!

Life is like a play, everything is acting. It doesn't matter before, now, or in the future. Those who achieve great things, in addition to being informal, are to overwhelm the crowd with their acting skills.

Of course, sometimes the acting is too deep, the acting is too devoted, and I have deceived myself, and it becomes natural to get used to it. On the day he died, he thought he was such a person, so it didn't matter if he was acting or not.

For example, Liu Bei, hehe!

Guo Yaoshi came down from the city wall and walked all the way towards the street, passing through the street. It was densely packed with people, and almost everyone who knew him aroused the same heart, and they were led by their respective team leaders. They are all nervously busy, morale is high, and only superficially yes.

Guo Yaoshi was very calm on the surface, and he couldn't see the pressure and tension in his heart at all, but seeing his smile, the soldiers and civilians he met along the way unconsciously relaxed a lot in their hearts, and they became more energetic in their work.

No matter how entangled and distressed the superior is, he can't show it, otherwise it will cause panic among the lower levels. Why is it said that most of the time, all dynasties have reported good news but not bad news?

It's not that you don't report it, but if you report it, the situation will be more chaotic, so it's better to tell a lie, only report the good news, not the worries, and if there is trouble, it is better to have an internal meeting to solve it. I really couldn't solve it, so I pulled some scapegoats out and continued on the road. Over time, this has become a tradition!

After turning around the various positions, he returned to the mansion and sat down in the inner room. The confidants and generals who followed behind Pharmacist Guo all the way expressed their opinions one by one, and some reported good news, but in the inner hall, they were all their own people, and they also reported many worries.

"My lord, the morale of the army is available, and we can still hold this battle."

"It's all in charge, but the morale of the army is available, but in recent days, more than 10,000 people have been conquered, and the salary can be temporarily saved, but the consumption of this food is amazing. Can't save at all! Zhuozhou stores grain, only sees less every day, not more, how is it good to make ends meet? It's just spring, but the fields can't be harvested until after autumn, and I'm afraid that foreign enemies will destroy the grain, so I'm afraid that I can keep it for a while, but I can't keep it for a lifetime! ”

"It's all in charge, General Li has said the problem of grain, but it is not the most urgent at the moment. According to the young general's point of view, the equipment will be issued at the next day and made up for the battalions, needless to say, there are so many of us, but the swords, spears, bows and arrows are quite insufficient, and the arrows in Zhuozhou are only 50,000, which is not enough to pull them out to fight...... If the brothers can't fight their opponents in the battle formation, they can't even prevent a backhand. The people are gone, and they still care about the food that can be eaten for a few months? Do you think so? ”

"Brothers, we have to win, we can't afford to lose. Now the plan can only be to see if my little sister can invite the Great Song rescue soldiers in time. In addition, the other two Changsheng troops also went to send people to say that they couldn't be invited. It's better than a drop in the bucket? Guo Jing said with his eyebrows locked.

Guo Yaoshi quietly listened to the complaints of the officers below and the rebuttal of his son, and thought countless times in his heart. The lack of food and weapons in the army is not a matter of one or two days, and there was this problem as early as the beginning of the establishment of the Changsheng Army. And as Emperor Liao wanted to withdraw the Changsheng army several times, the supply given would be even more unsightly, if it weren't for the enclosure of land as the king, the occupation of the road to operate, the brutal and violent charges, and the raising of a group of people who are not afraid of death, it would not be able to hold up now.

In the case of not having enough equipment, it is natural to only have a numerical advantage. But there are many people, and people are afraid of comparison. Naturally, weapons and equipment are becoming more and more insufficient, and it is easy to arouse mutual indignation among insiders.

Before the antipathy was exposed, the Great Liao Imperial Court, the supplies that could be squeezed out were all used to support Yelu Dashi's army, and the rest had to take care of Yanjing City. Originally, the four kings also intended to win over themselves, so they gave a little bit, but now even the comrades of the four kings estimate that the return trip is to go straight to themselves, and by the way, they have to fight a hard battle, and now they can only rely on themselves.

But rebellion is such a thing, it is a common victory, and no one regrets it. In these troubled times, betraying the Lord and asking for surrender is the only way to survive for the victorious army, and the difference is only that it is to surrender to the Song Dynasty or to reduce the gold. But it is absolutely impossible to accompany Da Liao, a broken ship, to sink to the bottom of the sea together.

-

After a while, the voices of the military managers in front of him gradually became quieter.

Pharmacist Guo stood up and said with a bitter face: "Brothers, is it easy for our Changsheng Army to travel all the way? This bit of belongings is not easy to accumulate, and it is also a matter of life and death, and it is a matter of wife and children. For the sake of Chang Shengjun's survival, my only daughter risked her life to be sent out to the Great Song Dynasty as a hostage to find a way out for the brothers, but there are still people who make me worry! Now no matter how difficult it is, we can only persevere, I believe that my daughter will lead the Song army to attack back and forth, and then the road to life will naturally be opened. ”

When everyone saw Pharmacist Guo talking like this, they gradually stopped quietly, and they didn't dare to say a word. These days, it doesn't matter if the adults are in a bad mood, that's what everyone sees in their eyes. Now that the boss says this, they can't refute it with emotion and reason.

Guo Jing also said in cooperation with tacit understanding: "Everyone, the Song envoy has put so much effort into promoting the southward direction of our department. I believe that he will not give up easily, within ten days, there will be good news in return, we just have to stick to it! ”

Listening to Master Guo Yao's tone is so firm, everyone gradually agrees with this view, and the people who can be in the position in this troubled era are all accurate-sighted, bold, determined, and never look back. Now it means that even if you surrender, I am afraid that the Liao people will not accept it. It's better to go all the way to the dark!
