Volume 1: Born to be a Hero Chapter 78: A Gentleman and a Gentleman
Since Gongliangju took over the task of surrendering Li Rongzhai, it took many days before he took action.
He wanted to deliberately leave Li Rongzhai on the air for a while.
Its purpose is to further consume the little grain and grass left in Lirong Village, so that it can further aggravate the internal contradictions of Li Rong Village.
......
Since the ordnance, grain and grass of Li Rongzhai were set on fire by He Yi, it can be said that it has always been on the verge of collapse.
What does it mean to face a crash?
It's like a hungry beast that is dying, and when it finds its prey and is about to hunt it immediately, it suddenly discovers that ———— prey suddenly becomes larger than it, and its fangs and claws suddenly become sharper than it!
On top of that, its prey is staring at it!
Will it starve, or will it be eaten?
At this time, the feeling is the feeling of facing a collapse.
Because no matter what choice you make, there is only one outcome.
"Is there any news from the spies? On the other side of the plain, how is the situation?" the big boss of Li Rong Village said vaguely while holding a fat beast leg and gnawing on it.
The remaining grain and grass in the stockade have been almost consumed, and now they can only rely on all the people to hunt for their own supplies.
But these nearly 3,000 mouths, even if all the prey in the nearby mountains are caught, it is not enough to eat for a few days, so in the past few days, the entire Lirong Village has been worried about the problem of food.
The sentry stood aside, secretly looked at the beast leg in the master's arms, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and said: "The reinforcements from Pingyuan County have indeed arrived, and the general who led the troops is said to be an immortal. During this time, the gates of the plain city were closed, and even passing merchants were not allowed to enter the city, and the small ones could not get in, so there was no way to find out any other news. ”
"Immortal, ......" The second master on the side sighed and said: "This is obviously to consume us, if you knew it, you would have listened to the words of the military advisor, and the day before the reinforcements from the plains came, we would attack the plain city again." ”
After He Yi broke through the county mansion, killed the monks, and captured the county city alive, Gongliangju immediately asked the city defense army to close the city gate to prevent the news from leaking.
and ordered the city defense army to guard it day and night, and forged a large number of Huyang army's flags and planted them all over the city wall, so as to confuse Li Rong Village.
The fact is also the same as Gongliangju expected, Li Rongzhai saw that the plain city was full of soldiers and armor, and the banners were all over, and he looked like he was strictly guarded, so he really didn't dare to attack again.
"Food! The most important amount of food is now! If we don't get any more supplies, not only the soldiers in the village, but even us will starve to death on the mountain!"
"It's better to ...... How about disarmament?" the six masters raised their heads and whispered their opinions.
"Disarmament, you can figure it out!" said sharply in the fifth master's voice: "Since you want to cut it, it is better to cut the five hundred men under your command first!"
"Why do you only want me to disarm? If you think it can't be done, come up with a solution!" The sixth master looked angry, but he didn't attack on the spot, and secretly clenched his fists.
During this time, the life of the sixth master can be described as very unsatisfactory, because on the day He Yi set the fire, it was his subordinates who were guarding at the gate of the village, so the responsibility for this was passed on to him.
Because of this incident, the six masters suffered from the sarcasm and sarcasm of several other masters, he knew that he was at a loss, so he could only choose to swallow his anger, but in all fairness, no matter who was on guard at that time, the result was the same.
And he himself was just unlucky, and it just happened to be on duty at night.
I heard that in the new law issued by the imperial court, it was said that immortals should not participate in government affairs. In my opinion, this is 80% false. Anyway, it will be a dead end sooner or later, so it is better to send troops again and attack the plains again! This time, let the military adviser plan well. The big boss stopped the quarrel between the two, poured another sip of wine into his mouth, and suddenly said: "By the way, what about the military advisor? Where has he gone? Why hasn't he seen anyone else all this time?"
The sentinel replied, "It's been a few months since the division left, and it was on the night the armory caught fire......
That night, the armory and grain cave of Li Rongzhai were burned down by He Yi, and in order to shirk their responsibilities, those leaders put the blame on Gongliangju.
This incident not only directly gave Gongliangju the idea of leaving, but also made many Li Rong soldiers feel cold.
After all, most of them were trained by Gongliangju and Su Qian themselves, and the feelings cultivated in the military camp were not insignificant.
The sixth master looked displeased, and said in a deep voice: "This Gongliangju! I just scolded him a few times, but I didn't really do anything to him, how could he still say that he would leave?
With this belly fire, he can really only send it to Gongliangju.
Because in his eyes, the ordnance and grain and grass of Li Rongzhai were burned, and the main responsibility lay with Gongliangju, not himself.
Before the six masters could finish speaking, another spy ran in from outside the tent and shouted, "The military division is back!"
As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the people in the tent immediately turned to the open door of the tent.
...... ......
Gongliang Ju did not come alone, but he went up the mountain alone.
At the foot of the mountain, 800 elite soldiers have already been ambushed, each soldier is equipped with a fire bolt crossbow, only three rounds of salvo fire, can set fire to the mountain, so that the Li Rong village completely cut off the back road, when the time comes, if you don't want to be burned alive by the mountain fire, you can only surrender.
But Gongliangju did not choose to do so.
Because he knew that what He Yi needed was an elite soldier who surrendered sincerely, not a group of rats who could betray at any time.
"Strategist, you're back!"
As soon as Gongliangju came to the gate of the cottage, several guards gathered around the bonfire and cooked food greeted him with joyful faces.
The conditions in the mountains are not as simple as those in the city, and the food and lodging are very simple. Life is already not easy, coupled with the shortage of food, grass and materials during this time, these village troops can suffer a lot.
Gongliangju nodded at those village soldiers, and when he saw the dry and hard steamed buns in their hands and the melting snow in the pot, he couldn't help sighing, and his heart was sour.
He walked slowly into the village, and saw everything he saw, and the hungry could see it everywhere.
An elite army turned out to be like this......
"Strategist, you came just in time!" The big boss didn't know what was happening in Pingyuan County, and when he saw Gongliangju going and returning, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly ordered someone to prepare good wine and food to entertain Gongliangju.
Fatty animal meat, whole jars of spirits, delicate dishes......
Gongliangju looked at the table full of meat, and couldn't help but sigh: "Now that there is a shortage of food in Dazhai, how can the big boss still be so extravagant? Didn't you go to the army to see what everyone was eating?"
He spoke sarcastically, but the big boss didn't seem to hear it, patted Gongliangju on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's not because you're back! It's okay, I've already decided, immediately send troops to attack Pingyuan County, and when the time comes, I will seize the city, how much land and how much land I want, and how much grain I want!"
At this point, the big boss personally picked up the wine jar and poured a full bowl of wine for Gongliangju, with a slight flattering look on his face, and said: "Yunyi, we were wrong last time, but this time it depends on you, make good arrangements, and fight for a battle to take down the plain." ”
The situation in Li Rongzhai is indeed not optimistic, but looking at the expression of this master, he seems to be quite confident in his own strength.
Gongliangju looked at it coldly, and his heart became more and more disdainful.
The current Zhai army can't even eat enough, so how can they go into battle and fight?
Gongliangju didn't go to pick up the wine bowl handed by the big boss, closed his eyes slightly, and pretended to be blind: "The opportunity is lost, the current plain soldiers and civilians are single-minded, and if they want to attack again, there will be death or life, and the boss will still die this heart." ”
Of course, he will no longer help these masters with advice.
In the past, the reason why he chose to take refuge in Li Rongzhai was because he was not used to the style of the previous county Cheng and the cultivators, but now that the county is dead and the plain has been decided, he has found his former major general, so naturally he will not do such a thing again.
"Then what do you say you should do? Now you have seen this situation, you are a military advisor, and you must come up with a way to come out. The big boss didn't appreciate it, and threw the wine jar on the table with a bang, and said in a commanding tone.
"For the sake of today, there is only one way to surrender. Gongliang Ju glanced at him lightly, and did not avoid suspicion, and truthfully explained his intentions: "I can't hide it, Ju came here this time to be a lobbyist for the plains, and came to persuade you to surrender." ”
Bang!!
As soon as Gongliangju's voice fell, he heard a crisp sound, and the pottery bowl in the master's hand fell, and the wine was scattered all over the ground.
"Y-you've surrendered to the plain?" said the master's face was cloudy, and he shook the wine stains from his clothes and reached for the hilt of his knife.
"Gongliangju, we treat you well on weekdays, but now that Dazhai is in trouble, you have actually been surrendered to the enemy by the Lord?" another boss also asked sharply.
"Someone, arrest this traitor for me!"
Those leaders were furious, and they wanted to order them to take down Gongliangju.
Unexpectedly...... Their orders were ineffective.
Although there were more than a dozen soldiers in the tent, no one did anything.
The Li Rong Zhai army in the big tent was watching left and right, and even if they hesitated, they didn't dare to take the lead.
They were afraid of provoking the wrath of the people.
Because once Gongliangju is caught, it is equivalent to completely tearing face with the plains, and the only way left is to start a war.
But...... They don't want to fight anymore.
These days, everyone is starving, and only these few heads drink and have fun every day, and they don't even think about whether their stomachs are full.
Is it worth dying for such people?
"If you don't surrender, will you wait for death? Remembering the old friendship, I would like to advise you: If you surrender today, there are still interests to discuss, and once you go to war again, it will be a situation of life and death! At that time, Pingyuan County was completely destroyed by weapons and took advantage of the dark night to sneak attack, but it was not able to take the plain in one go, and now the grain and grass in Lirong are completely destroyed, and the morale is low, and even the stomachs of the soldiers cannot be fed, and they dare to talk about fighting again? Have you ever asked your soldiers whether they are willing to die in vain?
Gong Liangju looked directly at several masters,-for-tat, and said word by word: "I'm afraid that the army has not entered, and the soldiers will be opposed!"
Bang!
After saying that, Gongliangju stretched out his hand and slapped it heavily on the table, and the dishes and chopsticks on it jumped three feet, but the people around him were startled.
