Chapter 21 A plan to attack the heart

"What?" Li Guo said thunderously: "How do you do things?"

In fact, Li Guo had already received the news during the fierce battle of Dongting Lake. After all, such a big movement could not be concealed even if he wanted to.

He also had some ominous premonitions in his heart, but he never expected that the defeat would be so tragic. And he was the one who suffered the biggest loss. A quarter of the Zhongzhen Battalion's strength was lost.

It would be better if it sank into Dongting Lake. Now all the Xia troops are captured.

Li Guo knew the virtues of the soldiers under his command. If they fell into the Qing army, some of them might persist to the end. But if they fell into the Xia army, they would not have such thoughts.

When he thought that he had given the opponent more than 10,000 soldiers almost in vain, he was so angry that he wanted to kill Huang Chaoxuan immediately.

But Huang Chaoxuan came prepared.

He fell to his knees on the ground with a plop and said: "The last general deserves to die, please punish me."

Zhang Xianbi just took one step slower than Huang Chaoxuan, knelt down on the ground, and did not give Li Guo a chance to speak at all, saying: "General Huang is certainly at fault, please consider that he will be given a lighter sentence because he has no credit but also hard work."

Zhang Xianbi is just the beginning.

A dozen random generals knelt down on the ground and said almost in unison: "Please Lord Marquis, considering that General Huang has no merit but hard work, please give him a lighter sentence."

Li Guo glanced at it and found it extremely dazzling.

In the lobby, there are clearly two camps. One camp is the people kneeling on the ground, and the other camp is the people standing aside.

The distinction is clear. Those kneeling on the ground are all Yueyang troops, while those standing on the side are all Zhongzhen camp.

"This is forced into the palace." Li Guo thought to himself.

At this moment, he wanted to kill Huang Chaoxuan immediately. But his reason told him that he could not do this, because if he did, it would inevitably cause a fight between the two parties.

But I really couldn't take this breath.

At this time, a servant said in Li Guo's ear: "Master Ma is here."

As soon as Li Guo heard this, he knew what Ma Luan meant. He took a deep breath and said, "Please come quickly."

Without waiting for anyone to invite him, Ma Luan rushed in on foot. He didn't look sick at all. When he saw people kneeling on the ground, he immediately said angrily: "You bastard." As he said this, he shouted:

Kick him over.

Ma Luan was just a scholar, and he didn't have much strength in his feet, but he was able to knock down a broad-shouldered general with one kick. In the blink of an eye, gourds were rolling all over the hall.

Ma Luan came to Li Guo, bowed deeply to Li Guo and said, "Marquis Yunyang, I, Ma, have been lax in my command. Please forgive me."

Li Guo forced a smile and said, "It doesn't matter."

"But please don't worry, Mr. Hou, I will definitely give you an explanation." Ma Luan said with a hint of arrogance in his tone: "Huang Chaoxuan."

Huang Chaoxuan was kicked to the ground by Ma Luan. When he heard Ma Luan's words, he immediately knelt down again and said, "The general is here."

Ma Luan said: "Do you know your sin?"

"The general will finally be convicted," Huang Chaoxuan said.

Ma Luan said: "In that case, since you have done some merit by following me, I will spare you the death penalty. Someone, come here, drag me down and punish you with a hundred military sticks."

"Yes." The two guards around Ma Luan agreed, and then pulled Huang Chaoxuan down.

"Ah-----" Huang Chaoxuan's scream came from outside.

Ma Luan said: "Master Hou, do you think this is good?"

Li Guo said with an ice-cold tone: "Very good."

What else could he have said?

Li Guo was not a fool, so how could he not see that Ma Luan's trick was both soft and hard. But Li Guo had to swallow it.

It's not that Li Guo didn't have a temper.

But as the de facto commander of Yue Yang Chengzhong, Li Guo clearly felt that the battle situation was slipping to the unfavorable side.

The more this happens, the more he needs the help of Yueyang Army.

Of course, in his opinion, Huang Chao declared his crime worthy of death, but he could not accept a formal break with the Yueyang Army.

However, Huang Chaoxuan will not have an easy time. He was beaten with a hundred army sticks and will probably have to recuperate for several months.

"Report." An officer broke in and said: "Master Marquis, Ma Guangyu is at the bottom of the city-----" The officer seemed to feel that it was not easy to say, and paused slightly.

"What are you doing?" Li Guo asked.

"Master Marquis, please go and take a look." the officer said.

"Let's go." Li Guo said. He just didn't want to stay here either. He felt extremely embarrassed and his face was dull.

As soon as they reached the city wall, Li Guo heard more than a hundred people shouting in unison: "You have all forgotten how you fought with the officers and soldiers, and have you forgotten the brothers who died under the swords of the officers and soldiers? Ask yourselves, are you worthy of them?

?”

Li Guo just listened, and his ugly face became even more ugly. Even Ma Luan, who was following him, didn't look good.

This is the key link between the Loyalty Battalion and the army.

Long Wu tried his best to win over the three generals, but he couldn't win over the people below.

At this moment, most of the people above Loyalty Camp are die-hard rebels. All those half-hearted speculators, or those who surrendered from the army, have already left the rebels.

Because of this, most of the lower-class soldiers are actually not friendly with the officers and soldiers.

After all, I have been fighting with the officers and soldiers for half my life, and even many of the soldiers' relatives died at the hands of the officers and soldiers. However, the army has always been the most class-based. The so-called official level can crush people to death. Can people be crushed to death in other places? Maybe

There is doubt. But among the ancient armies, it is certain.

No matter how much you indulge in the following thoughts, it is more about following orders.

Just because you don't express it doesn't mean that the emotion doesn't exist.

Li Guo used the corner of his eye to look at the soldiers on top of the city. These soldiers were all from the Zhongzhen camp, and he could clearly see the wavering.

"Pass my words." Li Guo immediately called for more than a hundred soldiers with loud voices and said, "Ma Guangyu, are you doing this worthy of the old hero Ma?"

Under the loud voices of more than a hundred people, this sentence spread far away. Within a moment, Ma Guangyu retorted and said: "When my grandfather was here, I would kneel down to salute when I saw Uncle Luo. I and I

Cao Ying is all his own family, but now he is just a

I just want to go home. Even if my grandfather is still here, he will agree. On the contrary, Li Guo, King Chuang wanted to kill Uncle Luo, but now he is killed by Uncle Luo. That is the grudge of the elders. Even so, the current emperor still pursues Chuang Chuang.

Wang Wei, Emperor Dashunzhuang, I grant you the title

King Shun. You are a good prince, but you are not good at treating Chuang. You are not a good prince, but you are with the enemy. You only want to take revenge on King Chuang alone, but not the whole army and the officers and soldiers. Even if you

After he died, he saw King Chuang underground, but

I don’t know how King Chuang would feel when he saw what you did. You must know that this old man has never surrendered to the officers and soldiers in his whole life. Now that our rebel army is in a good situation, you have surrendered to the officers and soldiers.----

-----"

Li's face turned blue and veins popped out, and he shouted: "Drumming, drumming, drumming."

Under Li Guo's strict order, countless big drums were beaten, and the rumbling drums covered all the sounds for a while. But Li Guo knew that he had lost.

The sound of drums can only temporarily block Ma Guangyu's voice, but it cannot block it forever.

Words are the weakest thing, but they are also the most powerful. Li Guo knew that he could prevent this voice, but he could not prevent the spread of this thought.

Li Guo took a deep breath and thought to himself: "What a little Zhou Yu, what a plan to attack people's hearts." He waved his hands and left, saying: "Give me the order, don't listen to the other party's shouting, and beat the drum whenever the other party shouts. If the other party shoots the letter,

When entering the city, collect them all and do not hide them privately."

"Yes." The generals guarding the city said one after another.

Li Guo secretly said: "No matter what your clever tricks are, I will just stick to them. I'll see what you do."

However, this time Li Guo wronged Zhang Xuan.

This plan to attack the heart was not what Zhang Xuan thought, but what Ma Guangyu thought. Ma Guangyu was not as good at fighting as his father. But it was not without merit. At least he was sensitive to the ideological confusion of the lower-level soldiers in the Loyalty Camp, and found out

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he offered this strategy to Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan looked at the city from a distance. Although he couldn't see clearly what was happening on top of the city, he could tell from the fact that Li Guo didn't dare to take the attack.
