Why haven’t Li Dingguo’s army come yet?

These are all the thoughts in Li Guoying’s mind these days.

It is logical that he received a tip that Li Dingguo's army had entered the territory of Hanzhong.

Although there were many mountains and many inconveniences in Hanzhong, it was not so slow, right?

Could it be that there are some variables?

Li Guoying was extremely upset at this moment.

He was ready and just waiting for Li Dingguo to come into contact.

But at this time, Li Dingguo's troops suddenly disappeared, which made him confused.

It would be fine if Li Dingguo just took a break for a while first, but if he was going to be foolish, then Li Guoying would have to be careful.

Otherwise, if Li Dingguo suddenly emerged from somewhere, he was still unprepared at all, wouldn't he be in tears?

On the one hand, he scattered all over the horse to investigate the truth, and on the other hand, Li Guoying tried his best to rectify the military defense.

In this way, no matter what strategy Li Dingguo ultimately used, Li Guoying can deal with it relatively safely.

This is what we say about responding to changes in the same way.

But at this moment, something big happened in Hanzhong City, that is, the earth moves.

The so-called earthquake is actually an earthquake.

It was late at night, and Li Guoying was sleeping soundly in the bed, and suddenly felt dizzy.

He thought he was dreaming, but the vibration was too strong. Li Guoying suddenly woke up and found that everything in the room was shaking violently.

He didn't care much, put on a piece of clothing and rushed out. Not long after he rushed into the yard, the house collapsed.

Li Guoying sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

He still felt scared when he looked at the collapsed house.

If he had just run half a step late, he had been buried in the house at this time, would he be?

Li Guoying didn't think he could survive if such a heavy beam was smashed down!

The Governor's Office was in a mess, and the panic of the slaves and guards was comparable to that of Li Guoying.

Li Guoying finally found his confidant housekeeper and asked for it before he found out that the earthquake occurred suddenly and there were no signs before.

This scared Li Guoying.

In this era, earthquakes are not a joke. Compared with its terrifying destructive power, what is even more terrifying is that it indicates the punishment of heaven.

Could it be that Li Guoying did something that was harmful to the world, God could not bear to see it anymore, so he fell to the earthquake to punish him?

First there was a plague, then an earthquake.

The two natural disasters are so tightly connected, it is difficult for people not to think about this aspect.

Li Guoying felt that his head was incredibly painful. How should he clean up such a big mess now?

Even the Governor's Office was like this, and Li Guoying could imagine the rest of Hanzhong City.

I'm afraid many ordinary people have died tragically in this earthquake, right?

Although Li Guoying regards the lives of these ordinary people as grass, it is certainly not good news that such a thing happened when Li Dingguo's army was approaching.

After all, Li Guoying still wants to recruit Min Zhuang to help defend the city.

Now it’s good. It’s impossible to defend the city. It’s probably better to have half of the people left.

Li Guoying paced back and forth in the yard with his hands on his back. After a long time, he stopped and ordered: "Hurry up, go to the military camp first! There must be no problems with the military camp!"

Li Guoying was not afraid of anything else, just because he was afraid that the soldiers would have morale problems due to earthquakes.

If a mutiny or whistle is not promptly responded, it would be too much of a loss.

As long as the army has no problems, nothing else is a problem.

But Li Guoying changed into clothes in a hurry, and hurriedly got out of the governor's office and headed straight for the camp under the service of his personal guards.

Originally, except for the Governor's Bian camp, all other soldiers were stationed outside Hanzhong City.

But because Li Guoying received the news that Li Dingguo was about to attack Hanzhong, he transferred all the Green Camp soldiers stationed outside the city back to the city.

For a time, the army camp became crowded. Not to mention there were no extra barracks, basically more than a dozen soldiers were crowded in a barracks and sleeping in a large shop. In this case, it was impossible to say that the soldiers had no complaints.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters came together again, and Li Guoying was so nervous that he was afraid that he would see an uncontrollable scene later.

It didn't take too long to get from the Governor's Office to the army camp, but Li Guoying felt that life was like a year.

After finally rushing to the camp, he turned over and dismounted without waiting for his personal guards to serve and then walked towards the camp in a blizzard.

Seeing this, the guard hurriedly followed.

At this time, the situation is the most chaotic. If the Governor has something to do, they will not be able to escape.

The most urgent task is to quickly assist the Governor to calm down the soldiers' emotions and make everything easy to say after comforting them.

The more Li Guoying walked in, the more shocked he felt.

I saw that the gate and the watchtower collapsed, and the ground was in a mess.

There are dead people everywhere.

Some were killed by the companion, and some were killed by their companions.

This is normal. People can easily do irrational things in extreme panic.

For these soldiers, they slept well and suddenly had an earthquake. They were panicked and thought about running away and running away. As for whether there would be a stampede incident and whether they would step on their companions to death, they didn't care at all.

Youdao is a dead fellow Taoist who will not die. As long as their lives are saved, whether their companions die or not is related to their bird's business.

But it's completely different for Li Guoying.

He cares about the lives of any soldier, otherwise, if one dies, who will resist Li Dingguo really fights him?

Could it be that he can't do it?

Whether he is sincere or false, he must calm the emotions of these soldiers.

Only by making the army harmonious can this battle be fought.

As for what it can be made, that's another matter.

Fortunately, the soldiers have not yet fled, which means they have not completely lost control.

Li Guoying hurriedly ordered his personal soldiers to go to Xuanguan, saying that the Governor had arrived as soon as possible after learning about the earthquake, and asked everyone with his own questions.

In this way, the soldiers who want to take advantage of the situation naturally dare not take any action.

They originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob the people in the city, but now they have to give up.

Although Li Guoying felt very painful, he also knew that he should not be stingy at this time.

He had to take out some money to distribute it to the soldiers to win people's hearts.

When Duan was constantly suffering from the chaos, Li Guoying gritted his teeth and ordered in a deep voice: "I know that everyone has worked hard, and the enemy has encountered another plague and earthquake, so it is not easy for everyone. Let's do this. I will allocate a sum of silver from the treasury to everyone, even if it is everyone's hard work. Thirty taels of silver per person will be delivered to everyone tomorrow morning."

When the soldiers heard that a person could get thirty taels of silver, their eyes shone for a moment.

You should know that cutting off a thief's head is worth the money, but now they can get it for nothing, and all the resentment in their stomachs has dissipated for a while.
