124, the night kite kills the heart

After all, he is also a person who has been in officialdom for a long time, and he knows in his heart that it is most appropriate for him to talk about this matter. Of course, he also knows what to talk about and what not to talk about, what to talk about in a big way, what to tell truthfully, and what to tell as a joke.

With seven points of wine, two points of pride, and one point of veteran cunning, Ma Xiangru told a trip to Taoyuan Valley nine times and a hundred reverberations, and even Li Mi, a person who is good at telling stories, was fascinated by it, and couldn't help but cry out when he heard the thrilling place.

Li Shengping is such a smart person, he knows that what this man is talking about is true and false, but it is just a fiction, I am afraid that the real scene is a hundred times more dangerous than what he said, but it is difficult to say it in front of Guo Ziyi and himself.

Hearing the thrill, Li Shengping couldn't help but look at the person he liked, and he was very afraid of him, but he added tens of millions of tender admiration.

Guo Hua saw her intentions, stroked Yiren's cheek, and persuaded her with a smile: "Don't worry, even if the emperor Lao Tzu comes, I will beat him hard." ”

Poof—

Li Shengping was amused by him, and was about to throw himself into Guo Hua's arms, when he suddenly realized that everyone looked at him with bad intentions, and instantly blushed his peach cheeks, and the whole big tent was full of charming spring light.

Feast, guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

Early the next morning, Ma Xiangru led his team to hurry back to Pingyuan County, now that the rebels are at the end of their crossbows, the more careful it is to prevent the enemy from fighting to the death.

Guo Ziyi and Li Mi are still not easy, although they have won many rebel families, how to use them is a difficult problem.

"Is the marshal thinking about those family members?" asked Li Mi.

"Yes, now that the rebels are fighting for trapped beasts, even if they can recover Luoyang at that time, I am afraid that our army will suffer heavy casualties, and if we can make good use of these family members, we can divide the enemy army to the greatest extent, and even make it self-defeating, reducing many casualties. ”

"What's so difficult about this, pushing those women and children into battle, whose wife and children, they won't look at it themselves!" Li Siye said nonchalantly.

"This is absolutely impossible. Guo Ziyi categorically rejected Li Siye's proposal.

"Why not? Those thieves still don't recognize their old wives and children? If so, what is the difference between them and beasts?"

"Don't be impatient, we are the leader of the king's army, originally to help the community, but also to save the people of Li from fire and water, how can we blackmail women, children, and children? If we really want to do that, what is the difference between us and those brutal and unkind rebels? Even the emperor and the crown prince will not agree. ”

"Tsk-this-it's the last general who is reckless," Li Siye spread his hands and sighed: "Then, isn't there no way to do this?

Li Siye has a rough temperament, and he kills ghosts and gods with a strange knife, but when it comes to blackmailing women and children, he is naturally unwilling.

In fact, this dilemma is exactly like this, if you push those family members to the front of the battle, send people to scold the formation and persuade them to surrender, it is naturally the most straightforward way, but this move will damage the benevolence and prestige of the king's army, and if you want to recruit rebels from other states and counties, it will be even more difficult.

Moreover, exposing those family members before the battle is equivalent to exposing their sons and husbands in the city, even if they have a sincere heart, once their hearts are discovered by An Lushan and others, they will be hunted and killed in advance, not to mention that it will force other rebel generals to fight for their lives, but instead boost the power of the thieves.

Everyone was silent, each thinking in secret.

Li Mi shook the feather fan lightly, and when he saw that the county lord on the side had something, he immediately asked, "You ghost girl, what kind of ghost are you doing?"

"Well, since you are worried that the hearts of those traitors who have surrendered will be exposed, in fact, you just need to give them a period of time to think safely. ”

"Time to think safely?"

"Yes, if we push our families to the front of the battle at the beginning, and we don't see our parents, wives and children for a long time, those rebel generals will definitely not be able to hide their thoughts when they see them, and you can see what they think in their hearts, we can first throw the news into the city, and then they will bring their families to the front of the battle, and then those who have the heart to surrender will naturally be convinced, so as to strengthen their determination. ”

"Spread the news to the city? Don't you have to send someone to scold you, ah, do you say it, Lao Li, ah, hahahaha. Fugu Huaien yelled at Li Siye, and said with a big grin.

"Go, go, go, listen to the county lord, listen to the county lord, don't be nonsense, hahahaha. Li Siye rubbed his stomach and sang and reconciled with his servant Gu Huaien.

"It is not delivered to the city, but to the city. ”

In fact, Li Shengping likes the bold personalities of Fugu Huaien and Li Siye, and when he saw them coaxing, he deliberately lengthened his voice and exaggeratedly explained.

"Delivery?"

"Oh, so it's a delivery—"

Li Siye and Fugu Huaien looked at each other thoughtfully, then raised their respective wine glasses, threw them at each other, and caught them with a smile, as if the cup was the delivery of the news, and pretended to look at it seriously.

"You two aren't too stupid, that's pretty much it. Li Shengping pouted.

Guo Hua and Dugu Huan watched from the side, giggling secretly happy.

Guo Ziyi and Li Mi are both open-minded people, since they enjoy it, let them go, and when the time comes, they will naturally say their true thoughts.

"Ah? Really throw it in like this? What a lot of effort is that? Who is still coming? Lao Li, you go and throw it?"

"I can't throw it away, you go, you go, you have great strength, you pull out the mountains and cover the world, you are talking about you. ”

"Throwing a cup into the city is not a difficult task for the two generals, but what if it is replaced with a thin piece of paper like this?" said the lord of Shengping, walked to the handsome case, picked up a piece of paper, and shook it in front of the two.

The two of them took the note, and let the two of you throw it and I throw it, and the paper fluttered and flipped on its own, but it couldn't fly five steps away anyway.

"This, this is not good at all, we two old men can't do this kind of work, we can't do it. ”

The two of them spread their hands and shook their heads, simply admitting defeat.

Li Shengping smiled proudly at the two, turned to Guo Ziyi and Li Mi, and said: "We just want to write the news on such a piece of paper, and secretly throw it into the city as a letter of persuasion, telling them that the family members who were forcibly detained by An Lushan have been rescued by us, and those who are willing to surrender to the imperial court will not be guilty of the past, and those who have contributed to the destruction of the city will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and there will be no demerits, as long as on the day of the imperial court's siege, the left arm will be wrapped in a white cloth as a mark, and there is no need to communicate with each other in advance." ”

"That's a good idea. Guo Ziyi and Li Mi listened to it and praised it from the bottom of their hearts.

"What if someone cheats and surrenders?" Li Siye is thick and fine.

"I've thought about this point, but it's not a big problem, those who surrender sincerely, they must be worried that their lives will be found out, and they will not dare to make a big splash, at most they will attract a few cronies to surrender together, so even if someone wants to surrender at that time, it will be distributed everywhere in threes and threes, if you see hundreds of soldiers and horses with white cloth wrapped in white cloth, most of them are fraudulent surrenders, and when the time comes, you must be careful and vigilant to act at the opportunity. ”

Everyone nodded their heads.

"Hey, then what's the difference between this and scolding outside the city?" Li Siye said unrelentingly.

"Hey, I said Lao Li, are you competing with scolding the street? I don't see it, there is still a girl living in the body of your big man. Fugu Huaien scolded, and suddenly realized that the county lord was a woman, what kind of girl was scolding, but his own family blushed first.

Li Shengping didn't have a common understanding with him, he didn't care, and he also followed everyone's giggles, and immediately said: "Didn't you just say it, there are many people who shout and scold before the battle, no matter which one moves his mind, it is easy to be seen by the people around him, these persuasion books can be quietly thrown into it at night, and the wind blows and scatters everywhere, and people quietly take it and then secretly throw it away, and they don't know it." ”

"And then?"

"And then?"

"How did you throw these persuasion letters into the city? County Lord, you Bing Xue are smart, don't be embarrassed by our Lao Li. Li Siye said with a pair of big hands.

"If you can see that the county lord Bing Xue is smart, it means that he is not stupid, hehe, I thought of two ways to do this, one is to use Kong Ming lanterns, and the other is to use paper kites. ”

"Kong Ming lantern paper kite?" Li Siye and Fu Gu Huaien stared at each other with wide eyes.

"Kong Ming lantern, control the size of the candle flame in the lamp, you can fly farther, but it is still a little eye-catching in the dark night, and the paper kite needs a long rope. Li Mi analyzed.

"Yes, it would be nice to find a long and strong enough rope. Li Shengping followed.

"Isn't it easier and easier for the two of us to sneak into Luoyang City at night and scatter the persuasion letters everywhere?" Guo Yu said.

"If it is a letter of persuasion of hundreds or thousands, it is naturally feasible for the two of you to go, but it is not possible to distribute tens of thousands of copies, and it will not be possible to pass it on at all in one or two trips. ”

"Or more?"

"Yes, since you want to do it, you should simply do enough work and distribute more, not only to fight for the surrender of those generals who have families, but even ordinary soldiers will be shaken when they know about it. ”

"It seems that this is the only way. ”

"Well, I'm the best at paper kites, but this time I'm still making silk cloth, and my four maids and I are guaranteed to make a hundred kites big enough in one day. As for writing a letter of persuasion to surrender and arranging for the staff to transcribe the documents, it is necessary to ask the marshal and the military advisor to arrange it. ”

"Don't worry, the marshal and I will arrange that the letter of surrender can also be printed by stereotype, and it is no problem to make 200,000 copies in one day. As for the ropes, they are indeed troublesome, they need to be long enough to penetrate deep into the core of Luoyang City, but then they will be difficult to maneuver—"

"You can use ordinary ropes, more than a dozen or dozens of them one after another, but when flying, do not directly use manpower to release, but use a roller, on the ground to make a thick wooden stake, set up a big wheel, several people together to manipulate the wheel, and someone to grasp the rope, so that you can control such a big kite. Guo Yu came up with an idea.

As soon as everyone heard that it was feasible, they immediately went their separate ways.
