His weathered face is full of perseverance.
Gu Shubai should have been moved, but he couldn't help laughing.
The general couldn't help looking up at him in amazement, "young general, you..."
Gu Shubai said helplessly: "who told you to betray Dongling? I mean, the Beili army is here to help the Dongling court. Taking these ten important towns as strongholds, they will step by step wipe out the rebel forces around them. You and your 1000 officers and men can stay in the city until we clear up the rebel forces around us. "
So that's what he meant.
The general could not help but blush, "is the end of the general to the heart of a gentleman's stomach, but also please forgive the major general!"
Gu Shubai said: "well, your garrison will be stationed in the west of the city. I've seen the landform of Zhenjiang, and it's suitable to be stationed in the west of the city. As for the defense of the city, it's now up to the Beili army. By the way, I don't know your name? "
He quickly clasped his fist, "the end will be late."
Gu Shubai's first important task is to recover Linzhou, which was captured by the rebels as soon as possible. That is the city Ning Chengzhi promised to assign to Beili.
Lincheng is not far from Zhenjiang. That night, he sent Yan Zheng to take the spies out to inquire about the news, and soon the result came out.
"General, something's wrong!"
Yan Zheng came back in a hurry, with a gloomy face, "Yan Shuo is crazy! After the rebel army captured Linzhou, they have been robbing the people of silver and grain. After hearing that emperor Ning assigned Linzhou to Beili, they burned and killed the people in the city wantonly, saying that they wanted to leave Beili an empty ghost city! "
"What?"
Chi Fei is a garrison general in Zhenjiang and is familiar with the surrounding terrain. Gu Shubai also asks him to discuss the military situation on the spot. Although they belong to the two countries now, the Beili army came to support the Dongling court. Chi Fei was once a member of the Gu family army, so he could be trusted.
Hearing Yan Zheng's words, Chi Fei's head couldn't hold on, "they slaughtered the people of Dongling! This This is really unreasonable! How are the people in the city now? "
Yan Zheng shakes his head. "I'm afraid it's not good. Time is not enough. It's just a matter of time. General, what shall we do? "
He looked at Gu Shubai, and all the generals in the account also looked at Gu Shubai.
Gu Shubai said: "naturally, we need to recover Linzhou as soon as possible. We must not let them continue to slaughter the people like this. However, I find it strange. Although Yan Shuo was cold and heartless, he was not a tyrannical man. How could he connive his subordinates to do such things? "
Chi Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "it's said that the uprising army came all the way from the south. It's like this. It's killing people, setting fire to their homes and robbing their houses. The people are in dire straits. The people who fled to Beili and Xikun were not so much forced by heavy taxes as by the rebels. They are a mob. They have no sense of discipline. They only want to be happy when they are red eyed. How can they care whether they are the enemy or the people in front of them? "
Gu Shu nodded, "I understand. Yan Shuo was a civil servant and had no military experience. He probably knew that this was his weakness, so he simply connived at these soldiers to avoid their rebellious heart. Anyway, Yin Shuo didn't care about the life and death of the people. He only cared that these soldiers could capture the land for him. If so, I have an idea. "
"What's the idea?"
Gu Shubai beckons for Yan Zheng to come. Yan Zheng leans his upper body towards him. After hearing his plan, he can't help smiling.
"General, that's a good idea! I'll do it now! "
The next morning, it was windy weather, and the river wind came fiercely, which made people shiver.
In Linzhou City, the soldiers of the uprising army just woke up and looked at each other with an evil smile.
In yesterday's killing competition, some people cut 120 heads, while others were inferior, only 100.
They agreed to compete again today. Whoever cut down the most people's heads will enjoy the most beautiful people's women they robbed.
"It's really cold. It's time to go out and warm up."
A centurion like man stretched his back and yelled, "yesterday's knives were all rolled up. Bring me a new one. Today I have to chop 130 heads!"
Outside the barracks, a man dressed in gray cloth deftly dodged the words and headed for a village with dense people in the suburbs.
"Folks, listen to me!"
Another young man in cloth clothes stood on the high platform, banging the Gong in his hand, calling the villagers to listen to him. The villagers all know that the uprising troops stationed in the city are slaughtering. They are nervous and dare not get close for a moment.
Standing next to the young man in cloth clothes, a small old man waved to the crowd, "villagers, come here, this is the general Beili who came to save us!"
The little old man was the most famous squire in the village, and the young man in cloth beside him was Yan Zheng.
"The general of Beili?"
The common people were suspicious. In the presence of the old squires, they all came together. Yan Zheng said, "I'm afraid you folks all know that the massacre in the city has lasted for several days, and now it's almost over. We have heard that the rebels are coming to the outskirts of the city today. ""Ah? What can we do then? "
"Son of a mother, quickly go back to carry on the luggage to run!"
The people were terrified. In the noise, Yan Zheng exclaimed, "be quiet, listen to me!"
He was full of military force and blood, and his voice was irresistible. The people unconsciously lowered their voice and did not dare to talk about it any more.
Yan Zheng eased his face, "folks, it's his majesty Dongling who asked the army to support Beili this time. Don't worry, we will protect you from the slaughter. You must believe me and do as I say. I was once a member of the Dongling people's army. I will never ignore my compatriots! "
"Gu Jiajun?"
"It's Gu Jiajun!"
"It's the general of Gu's army. We have eyes and don't know Mount Tai!"
After listening to Gu Jiajun's three words, the people's vigilant eyes were full of trust, and Yan Zheng was sad. Gu Jiajun's serial number has long been withdrawn. Unexpectedly, Dongling people are still full of respect when they mention these three words.
He said with a strong smile: "since you folks are willing to believe me, do as I say! I think we all know that the so-called rebel army is actually the peasants, just like you! They could not afford to pay exorbitant taxes and were forced to take this road, but the more people they killed, and without the guidance of a well behaved general, they would become so bloodthirsty! As long as you folks are willing to take up arms and resist, you will not lose to them! "
There was hesitation on the faces of the common people. A young man boldly said, "but they are numerous and powerful. How can we deal with them with a hundred or so people in our village?"
Yan Zheng said with a smile: "don't worry, my people are lying in ambush in the mountains. Beili was a tall Kong Wu and a well-trained elite. One of them was equal to five of them. After a while, my people will go up first, then you. If we can't fight, you can't escape! "
He said it all. The common people didn't mean to let them take risks to save themselves. They all expressed their willingness to take risks.
The man who opened his mouth earlier said, "hide the ball! Let's hide and wait for the rebels to kill us. Don't we still have to cut off our heads? Instead of being beheaded like a pig or a dog, it's better to rush up and work with them. If we can kill one, we'll make a profit! "
"Yes! You can't let the general sacrifice for us if you kill one! "
"Go! Let's go home and get our weapons! "
The villagers rushed home in groups of three or five. Yan Zheng said with a smile to the old man beside him: "old man, you'd better go back and hide. You'd better find a cellar or something and don't come out. In case of bumping, it's not good."
"Ah, ah."
The old man looked at him gratefully, "you must be careful, pay attention to safety!"
……
A detachment of the rebel army came to the outskirts of the city, about a thousand men.
The cavalry, far behind, followed by a loose array of infantry, took the lead to the nearest village from the city.
The people in the village are collecting crops in the fields. It seems that they are all young men. They should be the main labor force in the family.
Hearing the sound of the horse's hooves, occasionally someone looked at them, but they didn't mean to run away in fear.
The head of the thousand households headed by the rebel army couldn't help laughing, "these fools know how to farm. They are still farming when their lives are almost gone, ha ha ha!"
He laughed wildly, as if forgetting that he had been a farmer.
"Come on, go up and kill these idiots first, and then go to the village to kill the old and weak women and children! As long as 200 people follow, don't trample on the grain. We'll take away the wheat in the field later! "
He called, half of the cavalry dismounted to kill with him toward the field, the other half was riding on the horse in situ to watch the excitement.
Yan Zheng waved a scythe in the field and raised his eyelids. As soon as he saw that there were only two hundred people, he immediately laughed, "the general is right. These rebel soldiers are so swollen that they slaughter the people like pigs and dogs! There are a hundred of us standing in front of the public. They are so relieved to kill us
The man who danced the hoe on the side came up to him with a smile, "people really think they are soldiers because of the large number of people. Let's show them today what is a real soldier!"
"Kill
The uprising army, fearing that they would not be frightened and flee, cried out to kill them from a distance of one mu. They thought that the common people in these fields would be scared and run away, but they just stood still -
all of them faced them and looked at them.
The head of a thousand households was stunned and vaguely saw from the eyes of the "common people" pity.
Pity?
How is that possible?
Before he could react, Yan Zheng's sickle cut his throat and spattered a blood arc in the air.
The soldiers who followed the head of the thousand households did not react, but watched their leader fall to the ground.
"Kill
This voice is more powerful, it is Yan Zheng's cry.
For a moment, they took out the sword hidden in the wheat field and killed the rebel soldiers. The sword fell quickly and accurately.The soldiers who were on horseback to wait and see didn't look good, so they immediately came up to support.
Just after those people entered the wheat field, they saw Beili soldiers who had been in ambush for a long time in the hills of the valley. They all jumped out to move their muscles and bones.
One of the tall soldiers could not help shouting at Yan Zheng, "general Yan, you are too unfair. You know we are tall, and let us hide in the valley!"
Yan Zheng kicked the two people in front of him and said with a smile, "I only want you to hide when I know you are tall. Otherwise, when they look at the people in the field, they will see through them."
Gu Shubai said that only by pretending to be the common people can the enemy belittle the enemy. This is true.
Seeing that the number of people is overwhelming each other, I don't want to see the ambush in the valley and listen to their conversation. These people are not ordinary people at all, but well-trained soldiers.
The rebels, terrified, threw away their armor and fled, looking back for the infantry they hadn't kept up with.
"Where to run? Folks, go
The people rushed out of the village with hoes, axes, sickles and other things. Yan Zheng demonstrated in front of them. Their fear of the rebels was completely eliminated.
All the way in pursuit of victory until the rear of the infantry, under the leadership of Yan Zheng, they and the people are still dominant.
Just fighting, Yan Zheng waved to a person behind him, "go quickly!"
"Ah
The soldier kicked over the rebel soldiers in front of him and led a horse to the village behind him until he reached another nearby village.
"The rebels have killed people. The people of Xiaotian village have resisted and captured many horses."
He yelled at the entrance of the village, and the villagers came out carefully, "don't cheat! There are only a few hundred people in Xiaotian village, and more than one hundred young men at most. How can they resist? "
"Don't you believe it?"
The soldier patted his horse and said, "look, this is what I robbed! I came to tell you that if you want to rob the horse, go quickly, and you won't be able to rob it later! When the new rebels come, you'll be beheaded! "
Then he took a picture and went on to the next village.
The people in the village were thinking about it, and a leading man said, "don't rob, don't rob! Let's go and have a look. If we can fight, we'll fight. If we can't fight, we'll run again! "
"Well, it's better to go and have a look than to die here. Let's go!"
At the same time, a thousand rebels who knew they were invincible also sent people back to the city to give information.
The city is constantly sending people to support, and the suburbs are constantly pouring people to support.
The battlefield between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people are joining in. In the end, almost all the young and middle-aged people in Linzhou have joined in.
The resentment of being slaughtered condenses in the hearts of the people. What they lack is a leader who dares to be the first. Gu Shubai has the foresight to let Yan Zheng act as the leader.
Both sides are farmers without formal training. The soldiers of the rebel army are more experienced at most, but the people have hundreds of elite soldiers led by Yan Zheng to help them.
Within a day, the outskirts of the city were flooded with blood.
The main force of the uprising army was defeated, and the rest of them surrendered. Yan Zheng took control of Linzhou and opened the gate to welcome Beili army into the city.
Gu Shubai won an important town with only a few hundred elite soldiers, adding to his brilliant achievements, which inspired the people of Beili Dynasty.
The people in Zhenjiang, Linzhou and other cities are extremely supportive. Chi Fei's admiration is overwhelming. "The little general is more brave and resourceful than he was then. When he looks at you, he always feels like he has seen a great general."
Gu Shubai didn't think he was great. He said with a faint smile, "after all, there is something unsatisfactory. The people in Linzhou suffered heavy casualties. I can only order them to be buried and their families to be compensated. After all, with their resistance, we can take back Linzhou so easily. "
Chi Fei was born in the Gu family army. He knew what Gu Shubai was sad about. The general of the Gu family army always cared for the soldiers and the people.
The soldiers of Gu's army never bully the weak. Now, the Northern Glass army led by Gu Shubai is the same. It has the style of Gu's army.
He said, "major generals don't have to blame themselves. If we send a large army directly to attack Linzhou, although we can fight it down, the casualties will be even more severe. Once the two armies are deadlocked in the city and the people in the city are slaughtered again, we can't manage it. The major general's plan is the best. They use their brutality to make the soldiers disguise as the people, and then lead the people to fight. It's a pity that there can't be too many soldiers sneaking into Linzhou. Otherwise, their whereabouts will be exposed, or the casualties of the people will be less. "
Anyway, this is the best result.
Gu Shubai breathed a sigh of relief, "Yan Shuo is not here, now the first thing is to find out where the main force of the uprising is, and where is Yin Shuo himself?"
