Chapter 192: Duplicity

Gu Ziyuan suddenly laughed, and his eyes became fierce: "Wang joins the army, are you overconfident?" Even if I, Gu Ziyuan, are powerless to fight against your Sui army, don't forget, the high wisdom of Nanyang (Zhejiang) and Dongjiang Prefecture (Fujian), Wang Wenjin and other troops are all the original regular Chen army, and their equipment and training are far stronger than my subordinates.

Even if I am not defeated by your Sui Dynasty army here, I can go to them, and now I have received the title of a great general under Gao Zhizhi, and when the time comes, I will take my 50,000 brothers and join him in the army, and I will be in danger, and I am expected that you will not be able to do it. ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly: "In this case, why did the general besiege Suzhou for many days, but your Emperor Gao did not send a single soldier to help you?" The general knew here that he would not be able to capture Suzhou City, and he knew very well that the imperial court's army of bandits would come at any time, so why didn't he take the initiative to get closer to Gao Zhi and join forces to protect himself? ”

Gu Ziyuan's face sank like water, and he didn't say a word, Wang Huaqiang's words hit his heart, leaving him speechless.

Wang Huaqiang took another step forward, his expression became resolute and strict, and his words became more sonorous: "General Gu, stay in Suzhou, the rebels in Wu will be led by you and come to you, you can't defeat the battle, you will lose the hearts of the people if you lose, Liu Yuanjin and these people will leave you, but if you go to join Gao Zhi and really become his subordinates, then these soldiers from Wu will also leave you, so they are the capital of your life, right?" ”

The corners of Gu Ziyuan's mouth twitched, and he said in a deep voice: "Wang joins the army." I know what you mean, but you don't have any evidence. This time, we started an incident and killed officials and rebelled. I have already formed a deep enmity with the Sui Dynasty, and you can pardon us, recruit us, and even make a wish to me as an official, if you are me, will you believe it? ”

Wang Huaqiang's heart was even more confident, Gu Ziyuan actually had the intention of surrendering, but the matter of his subordinates killing officials and eating meat made him worried, so Wang Huaqiang's face stretched. put on his trademark smile again: "General Gu, the government recruits those robbers who occupy the mountains as kings, which of these people does not have the blood debt of officers and soldiers to catch quickly?"

Besides, like Lu Guangda and others of the Chen Dynasty in the past, they led the army to confront the army of our Sui Dynasty and killed and wounded tens of thousands of my soldiers. The so-called this time, that time, the reason why the emperor did not allow the army to cross the river for a long time. Just want to give you people a chance to mend their ways, and he also knows that the people of Jiangnan are not convinced, and it is unacceptable for the Chen Dynasty to be so confused.

In addition, the emperor also knew that some policies were implemented too quickly and too quickly, so he provoked a popular uprising. Letting you kill some officials is also out of your anger, so that both sides have a step down, as long as you don't make it look like you're smart. Wang Wenjin and these people set themselves up as emperors, so there is still room for maneuver.

General Gu. You must know that the emperor has the world in his heart. It's Jiangshan Sheji, if you use the army to suppress it because you are entangled in the matter of killing officials when you got into trouble, then you Jiangnan people will definitely resist desperately, so that the dead officials cannot be resurrected, and they will have to take thousands of lives to complain about Jiangnan people, which is not cost-effective. ”

Gu Ziyuan had been thinking deeply with Wang Huaqiang's words, and only after he finished his words did he raise his head and sighed: "Wang joined the army, you also saw the situation just now, many of my subordinates started their own incidents in various states and counties, because Gu used to be the deputy general of General Xiao Mahaxiao, and he was a little famous in this Jiangnan area, so these people came to join me, and many of them are not in the same place as your Sui Dynasty."

For example, that Liu Yuanjin, his father Liu Xiuzhi, was a general of General Lu Guangda, who died in battle when he broke through in the first battle of Baizigang, and his two brothers, because they refused to recite the "Five Religions" issued by your Sui Dynasty, gathered people to make trouble, and were also beheaded, so he gathered villagers and killed officials, this person has no room for reconciliation with your Sui Dynasty, and it is impossible to be attracted and bought by official positions, and there are a few others who are similar to him.

Wang joined the army, even if I wanted to reconcile with your general Huangfu, I am afraid that most of my generals will not agree, and now they all think that the Sui Dynasty is powerless to rescue Jiangnan, and we can tear the earth and seal the king here, and even feel that we can go down to Suzhou first, and then attack Jiankang, and the restoration of the Chen Dynasty is just around the corner, and I can't convince them. ”

Wang Huaqiang had long expected that this Gu Ziyuan was just a nominal boss, and it could be seen from that Liu Yuanjin dared to make a blatant attack in front of him again and again, and he also expected this situation yesterday, so he immediately smiled slightly and said: "General Gu said it well just now, these people have family members in the city, even if Liu Yuanjin wants to go all the way to the dark, but others may not be willing to cut off the lives of their family members like this."

General Gu can first release goodwill with our family General Huangfu, it is not a secret, the granary in the city did catch fire yesterday, General Huangfu is also out of love for the people, I don't want to complain about you Jiangnan people, so I want to release the people in the city in batches to reduce the consumption of military food, if General Gu can repay the favor and send some military supplies into the city, so that General Huangfu will definitely feel your sincerity, and will ask the emperor for credit for you in the future.

And your actions can be interpreted to your subordinates as an exchange for the families of the soldiers in the city, and no one will oppose it. ”

Gu Ziyuan suddenly sneered: "Wang joins the army, your fox tail is finally revealed, you obviously came over to play this trick with me because of lack of food, but you blew it all over in front, really Gu is a three-year-old child, let you deceive like this?" ”

Wang Huaqiang's reaction to Gu Ziyuan was not strange at all, he knew that Gu Ziyuan was most concerned about the issue of military rations in the city, so Wang Huaqiang smiled: "General Gu, even if our army is short of food in the city, won't it be possible to release all the residents in the city and only ensure the food of the defenders?" If it weren't for the daily consumption of the people in the city, there would have been no problem for our army to support it for more than half a year.

Even if our army is short of food, it's a big deal to fight with you in Kaecheng, you have also witnessed the strength of our Sui army in Baizigang, these 5,000 people are all elites from Guanzhong, you don't really think that relying on this rabble under your own command, you can face our army head-on. ”

Gu Ziyuan said coldly: "Wang joins the army, don't forget, I defeated the reinforcements that came out of your Jiankang City twice, and they didn't dare to come out, so that they could besiege Suzhou for three months." ”

Wang Huaqiang laughed: "General Yu Zhongwen of Jiankang City and General Huangfu of my family have always been at odds, Suzhou was besieged, he sent some Nanchen troops to fight, just for show, if you really won a big victory and captured a lot of weapons and armor, how can the equipment still be so poor, and you still have to rely on the peasants to fight with wooden sticks and hoes?" ”

This paragraph was made up by Wang Huaqiang yesterday, he saw that the equipment of the rebels did not look like they had really won a big battle, and it was impossible for the rebels to have time to check the friendship between Yu Zhongwen and Huangfu Ji, so he ran the train with his mouth full, anyway, Gu Ziyuan was already a little tempted, at least he began to hesitate and waver, and at this time he must take the initiative.

Gu Ziyuan didn't speak for a while, Wang Huaqiang's explanation was a mistake, but it succeeded, in the last two so-called victories, the Sui army in Jiankang City sent some old, weak, sick and disabled pioneers, and took the initiative to shrink back as soon as they faced themselves, so that they didn't even capture, although he boasted to the whole army that the Sui army was afraid of his own side, and our army won a big victory, but he still knew the gold content of this victory.

Gu Ziyuan had also seen the ferocity and strength of the Sui army on the battlefield, and knew that his men would not be the opponents of the regular army of the Sui Dynasty at all, so the purpose of besieging Suzhou City for a long time was to attract more rebels in the vicinity to join him, so that he could grow rapidly like a snowball, so as to increase his capital to bargain with the Sui Dynasty on the issue of Zhao'an in the future.

It's just that this bubble was ruthlessly exposed by Wang Huaqiang, Gu Ziyuan's heart sank rapidly, but Wang Huaqiang's cold and tough voice came from his ears: "General Gu, you have also seen the strength of our army's combat power, if our army is really out of food, we can only go out of the city to fight to the death, plus I know your means of dealing with my Sui Dynasty officials, the soldiers all have the heart of death, and your army is poorly equipped, and the soldiers have been fortified in the city for several months, and the veterans of the division have already been tired, do you still deserve a thunderous blow?"
