"Whew!"

"You turtle grandson!"

At first, it was just a whispered discussion, but gradually found that the military academies who should restrain themselves not only did not restrain themselves, but scolded more vigorously, and the ordinary soldiers of the Yicheng Army also began to be unscrupulous.

"Kill your bald grandson, the seventh grandson and the second lamb, you can't fucking finish it at once, so much so that we think General Guo knows how to demons."

"What are you doing every day to kill this evil lying down, alas, I have a spicy pot in Ren's house?"

Above the city tower in Zhengzhou, under the city wall, and in front of the moat suspension bridge, countless Yicheng soldiers shouted and scolded one after another, and the scolding was so complex that the initiator Zhi Muyu was dumbfounded, and he was stunned in front of the suspension bridge of the moat for a while, as if he was stunned.

It's just that listening to the louder and louder shouts and scolding of the Yicheng soldiers, and then looking at the Zhu Muyu who stood motionless on the horse, Guo Rong's somewhat depressed mood relaxed a lot.

Other people may not know about Zhe Muyu, but doesn't Guo Rong know either?

This kid is really not old, but he has definitely walked a lot, and he has experienced more things than the people of Datang.

Zhe Muyu followed the Fugu where he lived before joining the army, which is a mixed place of Qiang and Hu, which means that there is no good kind there, and it is strange that Zhi Muyu, who grew up in that environment, can be a good thing.

After Zhi Muyu left Fugu, he followed him into the Changying Army.

Even though the military discipline is strict, even if the style is good, but the Changying Army is essentially an army, what is the army, it is a melting pot.

】

The melting pot of the Changying Army can easily change many bad habits on Zhi Muyu's body, and teach Zhi Muyu how to be a soldier and how to be a man.

Of course, this can only change the behavior, habits, and cognition of Zhi Muyu, but not the essence, as for the essence of this family, Guo Rong thinks that it is wilted, as for the reason, please see this guy's yes.

However, this did not delay Zhi Muyu, a guy who was wilted at the roots, to learn a variety of dialects from all over the world, and this dialect naturally brought scolding.

In front of the scolding of these Zhengzhou soldiers in the Yicheng Army, in the ears of Zhe Muyu, it is not even scraping, this kid will be confused, and the ghost will believe it!

This is obviously pretending to be stupid!

In front of Zhengzhou City, thousands of Yicheng soldiers pretended to be stupid in front of them.

Guo Rong didn't know what Zhi Muyu originally thought, but with this guy's adaptability, after seeing that the command system of the Yicheng Army was disordered, the military discipline was slack, and the army's morale was unstable, he must have made a temporary decision, in order to let the strange atmosphere and rhythm caused by Guo Rong's influence continue to ferment in the Yicheng Army.

As for what happened in the end, Zhi Muyu was not afraid of this day, and the boy who was not afraid of the earth was not worried, anyway, he knew that he had himself to finish it for him.

Of course, Guo Rong himself is really not worried.

According to the information obtained by the scouts, after learning the news of the fiasco of Zhuzhai, the Hebei rebels besieging Bianzhou City seemed to have fallen into a certain confusion and predicament.

In the case of not knowing the movements and plans of the counterinsurgency troops led by Guo Rong,

The previous large-scale outward expansion also stopped, and began to shrink on a large scale, and began to set up small villages of one or two thousand people around Bianzhou to establish defensive settings.

As for why Guo Rong is so clear, the reason is very simple, Guo Rong can just pass through and bypass Zhuzhai east of Bianzhou and come to Zhengzhou west of Bianzhou City.

After so many years, Guo Rong's riding skills have changed from what they used to be, but Guo Rong's height and weight determine that Guo Rong can only become a foot soldier on horseback at most, and it is impossible to become a scout or light cavalry who relies on speed and agility to eat.

A radius of fifty miles near Bianzhou can basically be regarded as the scope of the enemy-occupied area, if it is discovered by the rebel cavalry in the enemy-occupied area, others may be able to escape, Guo Rong's size is tired of three horses and can not escape the pursuit.

Under these circumstances, it was very dangerous for Guo Rong to pass through the enemy-occupied area of Bianzhou.

The gentleman is not conducive to being under the wall, and if Guo Rong does not want to accidentally fold outside the city of Bianzhou, he will inevitably need to have enough knowledge of the movements of the rebels in Bianzhou.

According to Guo Rong's latest situation, a small number of rebel cavalry did appear near Zhengzhou, but it was only a small number of cavalry.

When the rebels were at their most frenzied, they had approached Zhengzhou City less than ten miles, and even had the idea of surrounding Zhengzhou City.

However, with the news of the defeat in Zhuzhai, the rebels' forces were greatly reduced.

Because of the shrinking strength of the rebels, the nearest rebel outlying camp from Zhengzhou was more than 30 li, and the rebel assembly place of a large corps of more than 10,000 people was more than 50 li away from Zhengzhou City.

Compared with the rebel army, Guo Rong knew very well that the 50,000 newly formed forbidden army and the 20,000 eastern troops left behind in the Tang army were less than ten miles away from Zhengzhou City.

In Guo Rong's original plan, this 70,000-strong reinforcement was to fight the Hebei rebels near Zhengzhou.

Now that the reinforcements he planned had arrived, but the rebels left ahead of schedule, Guo Rong didn't believe that the 70,000 elites couldn't contain the discouragement, morale, and organizational collapse of the 30,000 or 40,000 feudal town soldiers.

Although Guo Rong and Zhi Muyu did not know what was happening in Zhengzhou City, it did not affect Guo Rong and Zhi Muyu's prediction of the situation in Zhengzhou City.

In fact, the situation above the city of Zhengzhou was even more strange than Guo Rong and Zhi Muyu had predicted.

Compared with other festival envoys, Yuan Zi belongs to the kind of kind that has a lot of ambition, but he doesn't have much courage, in other words, he has a thief's heart, but he doesn't have a thief's courage.

To the north of the Yicheng Army is Wei Bo, to the east is Lubei, to the south is Xuanwu, and to the south is Zhaoyi and the eastern capital Luoyang, except for the Luoyang defense envoy who is directly controlled by the imperial court, these are all powerful feudal towns with more than 100,000 troops.

Yuan Zi, who only owns two states, can be said to survive in the cracks, in order to maintain his rule and continue his stability, Yuan Zi has taken measures to cater to all parties.

That is, on the surface, he paid taxes to the imperial court, accepted the dispatch of the imperial court, and secretly called the ministers and ministers to the Hebei feudal towns in the north, and at the same time raised eyebrows to the pro-court Xuanwu army in the south.

Internally, it is to unite the wealthy and big clans of Zhengzhou and Huazhou, and take advantage of the unique geographical conditions between the Grand Canal and Henan and Hebei to make a lot of money, and before Li Shigu was captured, it was even involved in the trade of war horses.

Although it is not shown to be leaky, it is also a small rich man in the Central Plains.

One of the benefits of this is that the oppression of the common people in Zhengzhou and Huazhou will be built a lot, which leads to a considerable period of time in the city, Yuan Zi's reputation and trust are not bad.

It's just that in an overly comfortable environment, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses under his command will naturally decrease a lot.

If the situation in Datang continues like this, although Yuan Zi's ambition will not be satisfied, he can definitely thrive in the Central Plains by virtue of his position and means.

The problem is, not everything is as good as it seems.

Before the Hebei rebellion, there were actually many signs, if Yuan Zi had carefully observed at that time and noticed in advance, or someone had told Yuan Zi the news, then the situation would have been completely different.

Whether it is to stand in line in advance, no longer sway, or to prepare in advance and accumulate strength, it is a good choice for Yuan Zi.

The problem is that Yuan Zi is unlucky here.

Although he has a good relationship with each party, none of them are hardcore, so whether it is the imperial court, the feudal town, or Han Hong of the Xuanwu Army, no one passed the news of the war to him.

Although there are enough opportunities and enough ways, under the too comfortable situation, Yuan Zi and Yi Chengjun, who have no vigilance, turn a blind eye to the meticulous work of all kinds of sieves.

The result was that after the sudden rebellion in Hebei, Yuan Zi was stunned.

There was no news of anyone sent to Hebei.

There was no response to the Xuanwu faction.

Reinforcements from Chang'an arrived, and all the horses and cavalry of the Yicheng army were requisitioned.

Yuan Zi begged to see Guo Rong, the first celebrity of the Emperor Taishang, but was told that the general was missing!

At this moment, Yuan Zi was completely confused.

If it is replaced by other people, such as the Taishang Emperor Li Yu, such as the eunuch leader Ju Wenzhen, such as the former Pinglu Jiedu envoy Li Shigu, such as Chisu Renxie, who staged a coup d'état in the city of Luoqi.

Not to mention that their observation will not put them in a desperate situation at all, and even if they do, they will definitely fight to the death at any cost.

However, it was Yuan Zi who controlled the Yicheng Army and controlled Zhengzhou and Huazhou, who was ambitious and talented, looking forward and backward, having a thief's heart and no thief's courage.

So, after the sheep attack troops sent by Guo Rong left, Yuan Zi began to frantically concentrate his forces from Zhengzhou and Huazhou, trying to wait until the situation was clear with high walls and deep bases, and follow the victors to pursue the losers.

However, the later development exceeded Yuan Zi's expectations, Zhengzhou and Huazhou, half of which were controlled by the imperial court and half by the rebels, showing a state of ice and fire.

Half of the people controlled by the imperial court were in dire straits under Guo Rong's orders, and half of the duties held by the rebels were reduced to hell on earth.

The problem is that the Chinese people have always relocated to the land, just as the forbidden army was mainly Guanzhong, the Hebei army was mainly Yanzhao, and the Jiannan army was mainly Shudi.

In order to seek self-preservation, Yuan Zi took the two cities of Zhengzhou City and Huazhou City as the core, and gave up everything outside the city, but it was several wealthy families who really controlled the economic lifeline of the two states.

It's just that with the concentration of troops, in Zhengzhou and Huazhou, no matter how strong the family's strength is, it can't grab Yuan Zi, who controls the city with the Yicheng army.

Therefore, the few families who suffered heavy losses could only honestly provide Yuan Zi with money and food, and at the same time quietly began to dig the foot of the wall in the Yicheng army to make stumbling blocks.

In fact, where do the soldiers of the Yicheng Army need them to make stumbling blocks?

Of course, ordinary soldiers of the Yicheng Army don't think too much about advanced things, and they don't understand the general trend of the world, and under pure illiteracy, they don't even know where the so-called soldiers and horses of the imperial court come from, but they are not fools.

To tell the truth, if you really can't fight this thing in war, and you die in defeat, others can't actually say anything, at least you have tried hard to resist.

However, the Jiedu of his own family is good, the Hebei rebels have not yet come, and even the wind from Hebei has not blown, just hearing that the opponent's troops are as high as hundreds of thousands, they were directly frightened.

As the so-called soldier bears a nest, there will be a nest of bears, under the leadership of such a festival envoy, the morale is not much different from a joke in the entire Yicheng army.

More importantly, the Yicheng Army was under the jurisdiction of Zhengzhou and Huazhou, and its soldiers were naturally mainly Zhengzhou and Huazhou.

Although they were included in the city, the soldiers and military academies of the Yicheng Army were naturally resentful when they watched their families and relatives being tortured and slaughtered under the blades of the rebels.

For these reasons, coupled with the constant drilling of the big family, it would be a strange thing if the Yicheng Army could maintain high morale, high fighting status, and absolute will to fight.

Long before Guo Rong's arrival, Yuan Zi was no longer able to talk about any majesty and trust in the eyes of the Yicheng Army, especially in the eyes of the Yicheng Army stationed in Zhengzhou City.

If it weren't for Yuan Zi's hands and a hardcore henchman of more than 1,000 people, Yuan Zi would probably not be able to suppress the Yicheng Army in the city for a long time.

When the rebels approached the city, in order to protect the city, everyone was willing to huddle together to keep warm.

And now, the rebels have gone, the external threat has disappeared, and there is no defense, and there will be no appearance of Guo Rong and hundreds of cavalry, which is enough to make the Yicheng army become a frightened bird.

And with Zhi Muyu, Guo Rong's name was directly reported.

At that time, the excellent equipment, high morale, strong body, serious military discipline, and unimpeccable style of the Changying Army left enough impression on the people and soldiers of Zhengzhou.

The biggest significance of Zhi Muyu's report of Guo Rong's series of positions is that he told them that the person who came was a member of the imperial court and a general of the imperial court.

After confirming that the other party was a soldier of the imperial court and not a rebel, naturally no one would be willing to fight for Yuan Zi for a few hundred yuan.

In fact, Guo Rong's own name would not pose such a big threat to the entire Yicheng Army.

Anyway, the forbidden army is not a rebel army, and it will not be destroyed anyway, at most it has nothing to do with them to kill the first evil.

However, this kid is using the tricks of psychological warfare.

Guo Rong himself represents the imperial court, but Guo Rong represents not only the imperial court, but more importantly, Guo Rong has too many important positions.

I didn't pay much attention to it when I was ordinary, but at this moment, I was shocked when I heard the entire Yicheng Army, down to the ordinary soldiers, and up to the Jiedu envoy Yuan Zi, listening to the series of hundreds of words of Guo Rong in Zhi Muyu's mouth, and at the same time, the huge identity gap brought a huge sense of oppression.

As more and more titles and positions came out of Zhi Muyu's mouth, the more depressed the Yicheng soldiers became.

After the exit of Guo Rong's chief guard who was plausible suddenly lowered, it was normal for these already unscrupulous soldiers to complain.

When the whining and scolding voice decreased, Zhi Muyu spoke again, this time Zhi Muyu's voice was still loud and high-pitched, but the speed of speech was even, giving people a feeling that they could not be pitted.

"Now the general is outside the city, quickly lower the drawbridge, open the city gate, and welcome the general into the city."
