Chapter 45: The Pride of the Army
Lu Liangzhi was puzzled, so he ordered the soldiers to present the arrow book, and ordered the master Guo Shaonian and the generals.
Guo Shao didn't dare to slack off, so he unfolded the arrow book, peeked at Lu Liangzhi, and read slowly: "Gaoyang Li Xingzhi, the book to Lu County Zunliang straight foot, Li Mou's army is really adhering to the righteousness, although he entered the mountain to build a village, but did not hurt the civilians, the people killed are all the inferior gentry and local tyrants in the troubled township, and now they attack each other for no reason, the officers and soldiers are very seriously injured, and your army garrison Liu Zhongwu was also captured by a certain family. If you want to make peace, the village can also be returned to Liu Garrison, only need to provide 20 cannons, 2,000 catties of medicine, and 500 guns. ”
"Bastard! Li deceived me too much! Lu Liangzhi was furious, and actually kicked the prelude case over.
Liu Guangyong said angrily: "Lu Xianzun, Li Reverse is so rampant, he wants to supervise the army to attack the mountain again, and if he does not break Li Jiashan, he will not give up." ”
"War? What kind of war? ”
Lu Liang sat down and glanced at Huang Wenchang coldly.
Huang Wenchang was shocked in his heart, damn you, you can't beat Li Jiashan, look at what Lao Tzu does, Lao Tzu is acting on your orders.
Liu Guangyong was also depressed, with the remaining more than 700 military horses, he was really not sure to take Li Jiashan.
Guo Shao thought for a while and said: "County Zun, the student thinks that the Dongyu is about to enter the Kou, if our army loses too much in Lijiashan, once the Dongyu troops arrive, Xin'an cannot be protected, Liu Shoubei is loyal and brave, it is really the guarantee of my Xin'an, it is better to negotiate peace with it, and it is not too late to carry out the conquest and suppression after the Dongyu is repulsed." ”
Lu Liang sighed: "This county boasted of Haikou in front of Chen Zhitai, and now it can't destroy Li Yi, so what face does it have to return to Xin'an?" Besides, if we really use artillery to redeem Liu Garrison, wouldn't it be an enemy. ”
Liu Guangyong said with a smile: "The county respects the grace, the so-called price starts from the ground, and the money is repaid on the ground, since Li Wei asks for supplies, then Liu Garrison is safe for the time being, according to the general's opinion, it is better to negotiate with him first, arrogant his military heart, and then select elite soldiers to launch a surprise attack, surprise him, attack him unprepared, or can eliminate Li Wei in one fell swoop." ”
Lu Liangzhi's heart moved, and then he said gloomily: "General Liu has a very good plan, but if he acts like this, I am afraid that Liu Shou's life will be in the middle of nowhere!" ”
Liu Guangyong said angrily: "Lu Xianzun doesn't have to feel nostalgic, my generation of soldiers, since I should be loyal to the country, horse leather shroud, if Liu Shoubei can die for the country, he will die as he deserves!" ”
Like his brother Liu Guangzuo, Liu Guangyong is also a loyal and brave person, Chongzhen 14 years, the Liu brothers are with the Tang King Zhu Yu to defend Nanyang, resist Li Zicheng, and finally the city was broken and martyred.
Lu Liangzhi groaned: "What General Liu said is reasonable, Li Rebellion is only five hundred, and the army is not more than a month, so he can resist my more than 1,000 troops. ”
After speaking, he paused again, turned his head to Guo Shao and said, "This county has decided to act according to General Liu's plan, and it is necessary to trouble Mr. Guo to contact Li Yi." ”
Guo Shao hurriedly asked: "County Zun, the student is going to Lijiashan, although it is a suspicious tactic, but in order to win the trust of Li Wei, the talk still has to be discussed, the student thinks that our bottom line can be set in, a few tiger squatting cannons, fifty firearms, and three hundred catties of medicine?" ”
As Lu Liangzhi's master, after Liu Guangyong offered his plan, he knew that Lu Liangzhi would definitely act from Liu Guangyong's plan, so he calculated his rhetoric in his heart at that time.
All the officials in the camp nodded yes, although it was a fake negotiation, it could be fake, so that Li Xingzhi could be trusted.
Lu Liangzhi also said yes, so he ordered Guo Shao to go up the mountain to negotiate with Li Xingzhi, and announced that he would reward the three armies, and each soldier would be given a tael of silver to boost the morale of the officers and soldiers.
The silver was originally intended to be allocated to Xu Zhijian, and since he didn't come, it would be better to reward the soldiers who had already done so.
After the account was dispersed, Huang Wenchang returned to his military tent with a worried face, Lu Liangzhi was resourceful, Liu Guangyong was brave, if Li Xingzhi was captured, once the news was leaked, his life would probably be in danger, but the camp was well defended, judging from Lu Liangzhi's attitude towards himself, it was estimated that he had already suspected that he and Li Xingzhi were colluded.
Master Li Youcai didn't care, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Liu Guangyong's plan may not be able to hide from Li Xingzhi, today Liu Zhongwu sneaked up on Li Jiashan, how can Li Xingzhi not take precautions, even if Li Xingzhong is in the middle of the plan, Li Jiashan is so big, with the remaining seven or eight hundred Baoding soldiers, how to capture Li Xingzhi, we still respond to all changes with the same, and act at the opportunity, so as to be safe." ”
Huang Wenchang had no choice but to follow Li Youcai's words, relax his mind, and ask Zhang Da to put his family in order, in case something went wrong, he would not be in a hurry.
Guo Shao was ordered by Lu Liangzhi, with two guards, and went to Lijiashan on the same day, and was discovered by Chen Wu's sentry after walking a few miles, and was escorted into the cottage.
Li Xingzhi also did not expect that Lu Liangzhi would actually send people up the mountain today, and he was very puzzled in his heart, so Zhang Shaoqian recounted the friendship between Lu Liangzhi and Liu Zhongwu's father, Liu Bang.
Li Xingzhi thought about it for a while, and then asked Chen Wu to bring Guo Shao into the Juyi Hall.
Entering the Juyi Hall, Guo Shao is arched his hand and said: "Student Guo Shao has seen the master of Li Zhai, today we received a letter of arrows from your army, saying that it can be exchanged for Liu Zhongwu, my family Luzhi County will send students into the mountain to negotiate with the owner of the village to negotiate the exchange of matters, but the owner of the village said that twenty tiger squatting cannons and the rest of the equipment, our army really does not have it, can the owner of Li Zhai say accurately, how many materials can be exchanged for Liu Garrison." ”
Li Xingzhi frowned and said: "You will attack the mountain for no reason, not to mention the loss of the army, and now you can't agree to the request of the owner of the village, and come to negotiate what to do, and then go back and tell Lu Liangzhi that the owner of the village will behead Liu Zhongwu tomorrow to avenge the attack on the mountain." ”
Guo Shao didn't care, and continued to bow down and said: "It's true that Xin'an doesn't have so many artillery, there are only seven artillery pieces in my county, and this attack on the mountain has not been brought, which Zhang Baihu is very clear." After that, he turned his head to look at Zhang Shaoqian, who was sitting on the side of the Juyi Hall.
Qian Anning said: "Since Lu Liangzhi sent Brother Guo to discuss the exchange with us, and now he can't give us so many materials, isn't it ridiculous, according to the opinion of his subordinates, the officials and soldiers are so untrustworthy, it is better to behead Liu Zhongwu to prevent future troubles." ”
Guo Shao said with a smile: "Leaders, since you occupy the cottage to do business, since you are doing business, you have made a price, we can always pay it back, according to the student's opinion, how about using three tiger squat cannons, thirty guns, and three hundred catties of medicine in exchange for Liu Shoubei?" ”
Yang Biao laughed and said: "Lu Liangzhi, this is thinking that Liu Shoubei died not fast enough!" A certain family is in charge of our big house, you can take Liu Zhongwu's body down the mountain now, and we don't need a single artillery. ”
Li Xingzhi said categorically: "Seven cannons, fifty guns, and eight hundred catties of medicine, otherwise, collect Liu Zhongwu's body,"
Guo Shao knew that this was Li Xingzhi's bottom line, and he didn't mean to exchange, just to confuse the thieves, so he hesitated a little and said: "Li Da's request, can the students be allowed to return to the camp and return to Lu County to make another calculation." ”
Li Xingzhi did not allow it, but he said that the officials and soldiers must return to Liulizhuang Town or embrace the city, and then they can pay the money with one hand and receive the goods with the other hand at the Dajiaotai.
