When it comes to selfishness, it is of course "exploring the camp" on the battlefield.

During the Chinese New Year, Chen Tianhua was still very busy. On the old mother's side in Shaoxing, there were the eldest lady Li Shuzhen and her pair of children, as well as Luan Rong and her children.

Xu Yunyuan, the unofficial underground lady, was naturally not ranked.

However, she has privileges, which means she can easily come to the battlefield and stay with her husband for a few days. It is understandable to use public power for private purposes, or to take into account both public and private matters.

"Yun'er, does the Military Adjustment Department in Kaifeng City have any arrangements?" Chen Tianhua asked.

"Oh, husband, our shadow in this city in northern Henan is very limited, but we still sent a lot of news through some channels. There should be some actions, such as instigating some soldiers from northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui to flee.

Wait, but more importantly, it can only spread some rumors in the city."

Xu Yunyuan sat down next to Chen Tianhua with a smile on her face.

She was still very satisfied with his considerate care and dedicated performance on the bed these days.

This is also his advantage. He treats his women very seriously, tries his best to keep a bowl of water even, gives love passionately, is very devoted to everything he does, and never cares.

"That's enough!"

Chen Tianhua put his arm around the woman's waist and nodded, saying:

"All it takes is a little sign. Suspicion is a highly contagious venom. It will gradually take root in the minds of coaches such as Li Chun and Guan Shan. As long as he feels that there is a betrayal in the city and the risk of defection exists."

"However, the city of Kaifeng must have heightened its vigilance at the moment to conduct interrogations of suspicious elements. If those shadowy figures of yours really instigate something to happen, I'm afraid they may not be able to save their own lives."

"From the day they joined the Military Adjustment Department, they knew that they would pay the price with their lives at any time." Xu Yunyuan said in an understatement:

"What matters is the results. As long as we win, all the efforts will be worth it. Even if they sacrifice, their families will be richly rewarded for their efforts."

Compassion does not command troops!

Unexpectedly, Xu Yunyuan, as a woman, experienced it more deeply than he did.

Chen Tianhua nodded in agreement.

Since sacrifice is inevitable, we must maximize the benefits of this sacrifice.

What he needs now is for the first domino to fall as soon as possible.

After you knock down the first one, everything will be smooth and logical.

…

Night, Kaifeng Fucheng.

The garrison headquarters was brightly lit.

Li Chun, Guan Shan and other senior generals of the Northern Army all looked worried.

The situation is getting worse step by step as time goes by.

Rumors spread among the army in the city. The morale that was finally gathered up in the early stage, and the bloody courage gained from the hard battle during this period, were wrapped up in thin letters from home, packaged one by one, in a day and a half.

Blow to pieces.

"What do you think we should do now?" Li Chun looked at everyone and shouted.

"Li Shuai, in extraordinary times, you can only use extraordinary means. If this matter does not happen with a thunderous force, the morale of the army will be weakened in an instant." A division commander stood up and said sternly:

"Catch and kill anyone found. Those who spread rumors will not be treated lightly."

Another division commander also stood up and insisted on objecting:

"This is not feasible. According to statistics: the total number of letters and packages thrown into the city is about tens of thousands, and nearly ten thousand of them have found their owners. Is it possible to kill more than ten thousand soldiers? If

If we really do this, then this battle will be impossible to fight."

"???"

The brigade and division-level officers meeting in the headquarters immediately divided into two groups.

One faction advocates severe punishment, while the other advocates tolerance. Both factions have their own reasons and are at loggerheads.

Guan Shan sat on the first chair below Li Chun, his face was ashen, but he said nothing.

His rank in the Northern Army was the same as Li Chun's, and his qualifications were older than the latter's. However, after losing the Mongolian cavalry, his strength and prestige declined greatly.

This time he went to Kaifeng Fucheng to confront the Confederate Army Chen Tianhua. He took the initiative to make a request to Commander-in-Chief Duan Gong and came voluntarily. He was willing to serve as Li Chun's deputy.

The purpose is of course revenge.

The destruction of the Menglu cavalry of the Guan clan and the death of his brother Guan Heng.

Now, the only eldest son is also dead. It is completely due to old and new grudges that he and Chen Tianhua are at odds with each other.

"Report to Li Shuai!" A soldier rushed in quickly.

"What's going on? Are you so confused?" Li Chun said dissatisfied.

"Report to Commander Li that a battalion commander encouraged a hundred soldiers to quietly tie a rope to the east city gate, in an attempt to take advantage of the silence of the night to fall down the city to surrender to the Confederate Army. However, he was discovered by the inspection team patrolling the city. In addition to fleeing down the city,

Except for the dozen or so people, the rest were arrested. The inspector asked Li Shuai to tell him how to deal with these people."

The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone knew the seriousness of this incident and its far-reaching consequences.

Escape from battle is a capital offense.

This can easily create a butterfly effect. When one butterfly flies somewhere, other butterflies will follow suit.

The butterfly effect on the battlefield is even more obvious. If someone takes the lead in charging, everyone will follow you and charge together.

If someone turns around and runs away, there will also be followers, and the army will be instantly defeated.

Therefore, there has always been ruthless battlefield discipline.

"Shoot them all, shoot them all for me, and parade their heads in military camps at all levels. What else is there to ask for?" Li Chun was furious and started to protest.

Clearly, there was no consensus in the debate.

After everyone left one by one in a low mood, only Guan Shan and Li Chun were left in the huge headquarters war room, with bitter expressions on their faces and lamentations.

"Li Shuai, it's time to consider your options. Kaifeng Fucheng may not be able to be defended in the end!" Guan Shan gritted his teeth and said these words with great difficulty and pain.

The last person who should say this is him. How much he hopes to fight to the death with Chen Tianhua in Kaifeng City!

But the reality was cruel. Facing his best friend, he thought about it and brought it up as soon as possible.

"Brother Guan, if you have any ideas, just say it?" Li Chun sat on the chair and felt that all his strength had been taken away.

"Currently, there are nearly 70,000 soldiers remaining in the city of Kaifeng, half of whom are old soldiers. However, the number of direct troops who are absolutely loyal to you, Commander Li, and are willing to go through fire and water for you, is less than 20,000." Guan Shandao:

"Li Shuai can take these direct descendants and withdraw from Kaifeng Fucheng."

After hearing this, Li Chun shook his head and said: "If I take these direct descendants away, there will be a mutiny in the city immediately. Chen Tianhua has been looking forward to this moment for a long time. He took the opportunity to attack the city. In the end, I couldn't escape at all and lost the city's support.

In the field battle, the Northern Army was no match for the Southern Army's cavalry. Ye Chenfei's first battle made this very clear to us, didn't it?!"
