Chapter 249: Boosting Morale (1) (3rd Update)
Wang Zhongxuan's eyes widened like a copper bell, and he stared at the first Qu Shuai on the right: "Gao Qu Shuai, just now you said that it is better to break up and go back to their respective homes, what do you mean by this?" ”
The surname Gao Qu Shuai is named Gao Qianli, is the leader of the Dong people in the South China Sea, and his tribe is also one of the strongest in the South China Sea, this time more than 8,000 people were pulled out, second only to Wang Zhongxuan, Chen Fozhi and Zhou Shiju, the three big leaders, today's return to each family is also proposed by him, because of its great power, Wang Zhongxuan is not good to directly punish him for a while, but first inquired about it.
Gao Qianli swallowed his saliva, stood up and said: "Wang Qushuai, this time you raised troops to rebel against the Han people, and everyone didn't follow you at first, because you really didn't feel much hope, but after you raised the army, you killed the Guangzhou governor of the Sui people, surrounded Panyu City, and sent Zhou Qushuai to block the entrance to Lingnan.
Zhou Qushuai's whole army was annihilated, Chen Qushuai was finished, now the Sui people's crusade army has approached, and Feng An's 40,000 troops have also camped fifteen miles southwest of us, now we are attacked on three sides, if we don't leave, I am afraid that we will die without a place to bury!"
Gao Qianli's words provoked the group of commanders on the right to nod their heads and say yes, while the hardliners on the left scolded one after another, and the tent quarreled again.
Wang Zhongxuan roared: "What are you arguing about, do you still have me as a leader in your eyes?" ”
Wang Zhongxuan's voice was very loud, and the voice in the tent gradually calmed down this time, he stared at Gao Qianli, and said in a deep voice: "Gao Qushuai, do you think that we can escape the Sui people's accountability now that we go back to each other?" ”
The corners of Gao Qianli's mouth twitched. He wasn't sure about it either. But he still said: "Wang Qushuai." Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, all the departments in our Lingnan have been mainly Fu, and few of them will really be killed, that is, Li Qushuai, as long as he takes the initiative to surrender to the Sui army, won't he kill one person and release him back? ”
Wang Zhongxuan viciously glanced at Li Guangshi, who was standing at the end of the team on the right and didn't dare to raise his head, and his bloodshot eyes fell back on Gao Qianli's body: "Gao Qu Shuai." You only saw that Li Qushuai was all back, why didn't you see that none of Zhou Qushuai's troops survived? The Sui people are insidious, slaughtering and exterminating all our big tribes, and releasing some small tribes with few people and weak strength, just to break our military spirit and fighting spirit, don't you know such a simple truth? ”
Gao Qianli's voice also became louder: "Wang Qushuai, the surname Gao is also the lord of a mountain, you want to find a way to live for the men, women and children in the mountain, when you raised the army, you said that the Sui Dynasty was unable to take care of our Lingnan." In addition, you did kill the governor of the Sui Dynasty in the first battle, so that everyone followed you. These days besieging Panyu City, we, the people of Dong, are attacking the city on the front line every day, but your troops are hiding behind, fighting for several months, and tens of thousands of people have not been defeated.
Now that the Sui army is here, and Xian Ying's grandson has also brought people to deal with us, Wang Qushuai, can you still guarantee with us like you did a few months ago that you can win? ”
Before Wang Zhongxuan could speak, Ren Gui, who was standing next to him, laughed: "Gao Qushuai, I understand your worries, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to defeat the Sui army?" But I want to sue you, first, you just go back, and you don't have to expect to be able to escape this reckoning, Wang Qushuai killed the Guangzhou governor of the Sui Dynasty this time, and none of the people who followed the incident could escape, including Li Qushuai, who was released back, once this time failed, he would be killed!"
Gao Qianli shouted unconvinced: "Impossible, we were not present when we attacked and killed Wei Xun, we came later, according to the practice of the Southern Dynasty before, as long as we can go back and offer a surrender table, Dongzi can be preserved." ”
The smile on Ren Gui's face slowly faded, and his expression became grim: "Yes, in the past, the Southern Dynasty had a gentle policy here, and it was extremely lenient towards your Lingnan slang, but the Sui people were fierce and cruel, which was different from the Southern Dynasty. Think about it, when the Southern Dynasty army suppressed the rebellion in the past, it would never kill all the tens of thousands of people, not a single one was left, at least the prisoners were to be put back, but this time Zhou Qu Commander put back a living person? ”
When he said this, the faces of everyone in the tent changed, and Gao Qianli's eyelids jumped violently twice, and he couldn't speak.
Ren Gui gritted his teeth and said: "You live in Lingnan, you don't know the ferocity and insidiousness of the Sui people, our Ren family has fought with the Sui Dynasty for many years, and we know very well that these northern barbarians, they caught people, either killed, or forcibly captured them to the north to be their slaves, such as my uncle and cousins, who believed in the nonsense of the Sui people, laid down their weapons on the battlefield and surrendered, but they were all taken captive to Guanzhong as slaves, and now it is unknown whether they are alive or dead."
Everyone is a native of Lingnan, and we also know that the climate and customs in the north are very different from ours. ”
Li Guangshi suddenly spoke: "Ren Junshi, I remember that your uncle General Ren is now an official in the Sui Dynasty and has his own official mansion in Daxing City, not as a slave!"
Ren Gui shouted: "Be an official? Just talk about it, my uncle turned out to be a general in Nanchen, with thousands of troops and thousands of fields, even if he left a life as you said, on the one hand, he had no real power, and there was not a single soldier under him, and even the family members were scattered, on the other hand, all the fields and properties in the Southern Dynasty were confiscated, and in the Sui Dynasty, he was not so much an official as a prisoner under house arrest.
Ladies and gentlemen, everyone is the lord of each mountain, with tens of thousands of households under his command, and thousands of households at least, can you get used to the kind of exile for the whole family to the north, leaving the former residence where your own people have lived for thousands of years, to become this so-called Sui Dynasty official? ”
Several of the impatient and excited Qu Shuai on the left shouted: "No, I'd rather die than be free, of course I can't leave my own village!" Even the few Qu Shuai on the right also look at me, I look at you, and I believe most of Ren Gui's words.
Gao Qianli frowned in this piece of group anger: "Ren Junshi, you are just guessing, you have been circling and connecting with our various departments in Lingnan in the past two years, and you have never been to the north, how can you know the current situation of your uncle and cousins?"
Besides, even if the Sui army wants to fight, as long as we go back to our own mountains one by one, while offering the surrender table, and at the same time enter the deep mountains and old forests, if the Sui people want to completely exterminate us, they have to fight guerrillas here, enter the deep mountains and old forests, I don't believe they can stay here for so long!"
Ren Gui's eyes rolled, and he laughed: "Gao Qushuai, although I personally go back and forth to various departments in Lingnan, I still have some understanding of the situation in Jiangnan, and my uncle has also come to look for me in the old department in Jiangnan a few times, saying that all the fields and properties of our Ren family in Jiangnan have been confiscated by Sui Gou, and there is no land and no subordinates, what do you think my uncle and cousins can do in Daxing?"
Gao Qushuai, if I arrest you to Daxing today and let you, who are used to being the leader, leave your own people, will you be able to get by?
As for the second point you mentioned, it is indeed unlikely that the army of the Sui people will stay here for a long time, but don't forget, they are now in Lingnan and there is no shortage of lackeys and leading the way, such as that Xian Ying, who was willing to be the dog leg of the Southern Dynasty when he was in Southern Liang and Southern Chen, and successively quelled the rebellion of Li Qianshi and Ouyang Su, two Han officials.
Think about it, this time Feng Ang led his troops to eliminate Chen Qushuai, if the Sui people came up with another poisonous trick to raze and raze, and let Xian Ying, Chen Tan, Pang Jing, Feng Cen Weng, the slang leaders in the southwest, cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and assign the land and population to them after the defeat of you, will these people not do it?
The regular army of the Sui Dynasty may not be good at fighting guerrilla warfare with you in the lofty mountains and mountains of Lingnan for a few years, but these slang people are all experienced, and when the time comes, you will all be scattered and defeated by each of them, it must not be too difficult!"
Ren Gui glanced at the Qu Shuai of the lords and factions on the right who were speechless and broke out in a cold sweat, and said sharply: "For today's plan, only by holding together to survive, listen to me, you will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory and break the Sui army!"
