To Fengtian City, Guo Ying was warmly entertained by Zhang Juji and Yang Huiyuan, and like him, these two people were also very jealous of Li Huaiguang, who killed the general for no reason.

The two of them knew that Li Huaiguang was Guo Ziyi's old department, and when they saw Guo Yinglai, they immediately had the intention of quoting each other, so the three of them talked very happily.

The place where Li Huaiguang garrisoned was in the westernmost part of Pizhou, the Gaoqi City bordering Jingzhou, this city was also called the shallow water city, and the main battlefield of the successive battles between Li Shimin in the early Tang Dynasty and the overlord Xue Ju of the Western Qin Dynasty was shallow water plain.

Liu Wenxi, on the other hand, firmly occupied Xue Jucheng in the east of the shallow water plain, and confronted the imperial counterinsurgency army across the shallow water plain.

Thinking about it carefully, the current situation is very similar to the situation of Li Shimin against Xue Rengao at the beginning, when the Tang army suffered a great defeat in the shallow water plain, and the retreating army Chang'an made a comeback.

Li Shimin then sent Liang Shi, the head of the marching army, to lure the Qin army into battle on the shallow water plateau, and in the face of the elite of the Qin army, he ordered Liang Shi to defend the danger in order to thwart his advance, and the Qin army became more and more tired after holding on for several days.

After the main force of the Qin army was mobilized, he personally led the army to attack the back of the Qin army from the north of the shallow water plateau, and the Qin army hurriedly returned to meet the battle, and was attacked by the Tang army before and after, and was defeated.

It's just that at the moment, Liu Wenxi is more like Li Shimin, who is immovable, and the soldiers and horses of the court are like Xue Rengao.

In the face of Liu Wenxi's insistence, coupled with the emperor's repeated urging, the generals of Wei Ning and Fengxiang were also a little tired.

Therefore, when Guo Ying and his entourage arrived in Reshallow Water City, they saw Li Huaiguang with a gloomy face.

Li Huaiguang, whose surname is Ru, his ancestors are Ruru people (that is, worms, Rouran people), after the demise of Rouran, his ancestors led his troops to flee to the black water, and were merged by the Heishui Jing people, so they became the people of the Heishui Jing Ya.

To the life of Emperor Xuanzong, the second king of the Bohai Kingdom, the great martial arts of the north to fight against the Heishui Jin, the south enemy Silla, the west to the Khitan, the east to hire the Wa State, the resistance to the Tang Dynasty, the military power for a while, the father of Li Huaiguang, who lived between the black waters, Ru Chang, was also involved in this dispute, after the defeat, he led his troops to the Tang Dynasty.

Because the Tang Dynasty set up the Heishui Governor's Mansion between the White Mountain and the Black Water at that time, the imperial court also made proper arrangements for Ru Chang, who was defeated and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, first made him live in Youzhou as the city army, and later transferred his troops to Shuofang to garrison.

And Ru Chang, although it is drilled out of the old forest of white mountains and black waters, but the war is not ambiguous, and within a few years, he has made great achievements, and Emperor Xuanzong gave his surname Li for his military exploits, and changed his name to Jiaqing.

So there is Li Huaiguang, a general who is born in Rouran and is surnamed Li.

If it is the statement of the Lighting Dynasty, he can also be called the national surname.

It's just that in the Tang Dynasty, it was impossible, because the Tang Dynasty emperor's style of giving surnames was far more prosperous than the previous dynasties, and it could even be called the ancients before and after it, starting from the founding emperor Li Yuan, to the demise of the Tang Dynasty, I don't know how many people were given the national surname.

Of course, the most outrageous thing is that the surname Li himself was given the surname of the country.

In the Tang Dynasty, if you really want to talk about the surname of the country, there are thirty or forty people.

Not to mention far away, as far as Guo Ying knows, there are Li Baochen, Li Zhongchen, Li Guochen, Li Baoyu, Li Baozhen and so on.

Li Huaiguang is around fifty years old, with a thin face, narrow eyes, and looks very serious and cold, but he is also a little bitter and hateful, but he is very much in line with Guo Ying's imagination of him.

He remembered that the Black Water Jar was also called the Jurchen by the Khitans, and the Jurchens in later generations carried this cruel and murderous atmosphere.

This is also the first person to let Guo Ying see him like a man's back, not because he is the first general of the dynasty, but because he has an unpredictable temperament, if he has a wrong tendon and suddenly starts crazy, Guo Ying asked himself if he couldn't resist it.

Fortunately, although Li Huaiguang's temperament is unpredictable, he still respects Guo Ziyi, who values him very much and repeatedly promotes him. ”

A sentence of old handsome, instantly narrowed the distance between the two, if it is an ordinary person greeting him, it is all called Ling Gong or Lao Ling Gong, Li Huaiguang called Guo Ziyi Lao Shuai, which can be regarded as giving Guo Ying enough face.

Guo Ying hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Thanks to the blessing of the handsome, my father's health is quite healthy." ”

Li Huaiguang hummed lightly, no longer paying attention to Guo Ying, but aimed at Zhang Juji and Yang Huiyuan, but listened to him: "I want to pull out Xue Jucheng, the soldiers are stable, and the traitor Liu Wenxi is trapped, I don't know if the two Shence disciples can attack the city and pull out the village?" ”

Zhang Juji and Yang Huiyuan were stunned when they heard this.

Guo Ying was also taken aback when he heard this, daring to force the Son of Heaven's pro-army Shence army to attack the city, this bureaucrat is too arrogant and domineering!

But after thinking about it, in history, he even dared to kill angels, and dared to do things to force the emperor to clear the monarch's side, what did he dare not do.

"Why is the marshal in such a hurry to attack Xue Jucheng, my department has been exhausted all the way, and let my department rest for a few days, recuperate enough, and attack again, how about it?"

Zhang Juji pondered for a moment before cautiously proposing.

Li Huaiguang glanced at Zhang Juji when he heard this, but did not speak.

Zhang Juji suddenly felt sweating, and secretly said that he was making a mistake, how dare he bargain with Li Huaiguang, the murderer?

At this time, I heard Li Huaiguang snort coldly: "This general is not the kind of mediocre general who does not understand human feelings and does not know military affairs, I will allow you to rest for three days, if you dare to shirk and obstruct after the three-day period, then you will blame this general for being ruthless." ”

Zhang Juji listened to it and agreed as if he had been amnestied.

Then, Li Huaiguang looked at Yang Huiyuan again.

"The Shence sergeant eats three times the food of the border sergeant, if the border sergeant is the first to be the first in the fortified city, what is the use of you people, it is better to kill it."

Yang Huiyuan was stared at by Li Huaiguang's sharp gaze, and suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

He knew that Li Huaiguang's words were not alarmist, so he gritted his teeth and said: "The last general is willing to be the first." ”

"That's right, the prison army is the work of the eggless eunuch, we are soldiers and generals, we should fight, otherwise, we will be ashamed of the grace of God."

Li Huaiguang said meaningfully, and then faced Guo Ying: "General Guo, did you say it?" ”

Guo Ying was suddenly ashamed and embarrassed, the emperor asked him and Zhang Juji and Yang Huiyuan to lead two thousand Shence troops, obviously not to let them do anything as the main offensive force, but to let them monitor and supervise the battle.

Originally, this was normal, but Li Huaiguang said it like this, which made him feel an inexplicable sense of shame.

"I'm not talking about you, but I feel that the warriors are doing eunuch things, and I feel that it is not a system, so I have to say, don't go to your heart."

It seemed that he had seen through Guo Ying's predicament, Li Huaiguang explained with a smile, and then changed the topic: "I heard that the army entered Shu the previous time, and you offered a strange plan to let Li Sheng build a great merit and seal his wife and son, what did you teach me today......

Speaking of business, Guo Ying's face became solemn: "The so-called way of conquering the country, attacking the heart is the top, and attacking the city is the bottom; The heart wins for the top, and the soldiers win for the bottom.

Liu Wenxi can successfully raise troops, but because the people are uneasy, really worthy of his heart, willing to live and die with him I'm afraid very few, if the court can calm the heart of the original soldiers, Liu Wenxi will be betrayed by the people, at that time, he is a lonely man, a soldier can capture him. ”

"As Shu Ming said, you really have some insights on military affairs." Li Huaiguang bowed slightly, expressed his appreciation, and then sneered: "But the premise of attacking the heart is to prove to the rebels that we have the strength to capture the city, otherwise, it will not be Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Meng Shu, but Gao Huanmeng's broken jade city." ”

Guo Ying was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything to refute it.

And Li Huaiguang did not continue to embarrass him, but said that there was an old man of his in the army, and his name was repeatedly mentioned in the Shuofang army, so that he could meet and recount the old feelings.

This made Guo Ying feel strange, he was still the first time to come back, where did he come from?
