Chapter 507: Recalcitrant to the end, ask for blessings!
Haze shrouded the sky. The Qing generals climbed up to the main peak of Pengyuan Mountain. The tumbling Yellow Dragon Flag made a hunting sound in the wind. On the surrounding hillsides, mutilated corpses told people what a bloody night last night was.
The corpse collection team is busy, comrades are collecting the bones of the dead soldiers, joy and sorrow are on the brows, and the steel-framed Gaozi Battalion pays homage to the dead souls with victory.
In a green grassland at the foot of the mountain, the chief man dug holes one after another. Most of the dead soldiers were buried on this land. The graves without names were connected one after another to form a large cemetery.
Looking at the tragic situation in front of us, no one wants to have a war. One general will succeed and thousands of bones will be withered. The price of success is too high for people with conscience to bear.
The shamanistic wizard who summons souls holds a copper bell and keeps chanting words to summon the souls of dead soldiers, so that the fallen soldiers can ascend to heaven early.[
The officers took off their hats to salute, Xu Zhanbiao stood solemnly, and the tiger and wolf troops also had feelings of compassion for heaven and earth.
"This battle will end as soon as possible. I hope the Hui people will put down their guns as soon as possible. It is better to persuade them to surrender first." Xu Zhanbiao looked at the graves in front of him and sighed with regret. The Qing army did their best to benevolent and righteous, but the Hui army refused to surrender.
, and ended with killing.
"Yes! Leave it to me, Deputy Commander Xu. You should write this letter and I will deliver it to the city for you." Guo Baochang seemed to agree with Deputy Commander Xu Zhanbiao's idea and wanted to contribute. In fact, everyone knew that this
It's just a gesture. It gives people something to say and relieves them of responsibility for the massacre that will follow.
If Huijun was so easy to talk to, why would he need to kill more than 700 Qing soldiers in one night? Including the sacrificed eldest husband, the Qing army lost thousands of people, not counting the sick and wounded. This casualty in a critical battle is not bad.
However, the Qing army was not weakened, but its morale was greatly boosted. All the soldiers and horses were vying to be death squads, and they were all vying to be the first to enter Yongyang Fucheng.
Xu Zhanbiao chuckled and said: "Since the new scout is here, Mr. Li should write this letter of persuasion to surrender."
Li Guolou did not take off his clothes and regarded this matter as a military order. He smiled sweetly and said: "I have an order! I will certainly live up to my reputation as a spy."
Li Guolou leaned over a small table and wrote a letter of persuasion to surrender.
The letter said: I am writing an open letter to inform my fellow Hui people that the eighteen generals are ill. It is a great blessing.
The marshal bravely conquered the three armies before he emerged for the world. He gave up the small ambition of the sparrow and admired the swan to soar high. In the past, due to changes in circumstances, he was attacked by the country and rose to prominence. He made meritorious deeds, founded the country and inherited the family, and was the hub of the golden wheel, which can be seen thousands of miles away.
, how strong! How can you be a fleeing prisoner, fight with your arms upon hearing the cry of dysprosium, and bend your knees to the dome? How bad is it? When I go to find the king, it is not because of him.
It is because he cannot judge himself internally, he is exposed to rumors externally, and he is addicted to rampant things, which leads to this. The Holy Dynasty forgives sins and judges merits, abandons flaws and appoints people, accepts the whole world with a sincere heart, and calms down all things. The marshal knows that he is not a false servant.
Second talk: Zhu Kun was involved in the blood of his friends, and Zhang Xiu was cruel to his beloved son. The Han Dynasty ruler did not doubt it, and Wei Jun treated him as before. Marshal Kuang was guilty of the crimes of the past, but his honor was more important than in the current world.
The husband is confused and knows how to rebel. He goes to Zhe. He returns not far away, and the first code is high. The emperor bends the law to express his kindness, and swallows the boat. It is a leak. The marshal's pines and cypresses are not cut, and his relatives live in peace. The high platform has not fallen, and his beloved concubine is still there. You have a long-lasting heart.
, how can
Description: Today's meritorious and famous generals, flying geese in an orderly manner. With yellow and purple in their arms, they praise the strategy of curtains and gates. They ride on horses to build festivals and are appointed to the frontiers. They swear oaths on horses and pass them on to their descendants. The marshal is so shy that he takes orders to drive and fight.
Food, I would rather not be sad!
The husband used the stone to reach Kai's strength, and his body was beheaded. With the prosperity of Wen Guang, he was bound to the capital. Therefore, he knew that the frost and dew were even, and he was sterile. The Manchu and Han Dynasties were rejuvenated, and they were divided into races. They rebelled and robbed the land of the three Jin Dynasties. Over the years, they accumulated evil
disaster
, the reason is burnt to death. The hypocrites are stupid and cunning, killing each other, and the tribes are separated. The chief guesses that he should tie his neck to the barbarian mansion and hang his head in the street. The marshal fish swims in the boiling cauldron, swallow's nest
Above the flying curtain, I am confused!
In the late spring of March, the grass grows on the loess, mixed with peanut trees, and flocks of orioles fly around. Seeing the flags and drums of a country, I feel that I have been born in the past, and I am stroking the strings and climbing the ridge. Isn't it regrettable? Therefore, Lian Gong misses Zhao General, and Wu Zi weeps at Xihe River.
, Human feelings are also like this. The marshal is so sentimental! If you want to make good plans early and fight to the end, you will be blessed.
"Good! Well written! It strengthens our army and has the demeanor of a general!" A group of counselors commented, stroking their beards and praising Tanhua Lang as well-deserved.
The military generals only knew that this was a good article, and they read it aloud. They were all Confucian generals who could write excerpts.
Li Guolou felt light all over after hearing this, and his bones were no longer heavy. Fan Dahui put the icing on the cake and said loudly: "Master Li, I haven't composed a poem for a long time. Why don't you take advantage of our army's great victory and let us feast our eyes on it."
"Okay!" Li Guolou put his hands behind his hands and looked up at the vast land. Raindrops fell from the entrance of the cave to his face. The gray rainy day washed away the worries in his thoughts.
/
"Forget it, I don't know how to do whatever you want. I'll accept this poem manuscript." Guo Baochang rolled up the poem manuscript with his big hands and had nothing but admiration for Li Guolou.
In Li Guolou, these generals saw a kind of integrity and a character of compassion and compassion. They were not just fake. Only when you have the common people in your mind can you have such feelings. His broad-mindedness made the generals unable to help but
Following Li Guolou, he walked down the mountain in the rain step by step.
On the rolling loess slopes were the Qing army's camps, with cowhide tents stretching as far as the eye could see.
A returning prisoner carried a letter written by Li Guolou and was hoisted into the city from a bamboo basket.
The Fifth Commander Chen Lin and the Seventh Commander Feng Junfu looked at the surrender letter written by Li Guolou and sneered in their noses.
"You coward, you let a prisoner deliver the letter, and you still claim to be a king. What the hell are you writing? It gives me a headache." Chen Lin tore at the Qing army's letter of persuasion to surrender and smashed it into pieces.
"Why are you like this! This is a letter to the 18th Marshal. You need to send this letter to Xiaojin Town and let Marshal Ma read it." Feng Junfu was extremely dissatisfied and leaned over to pick up the torn letter and prepared to wet it again.
Okay, send it to Xiaojin Town, the base camp of the returning army.
The Qing army's siege was a siege of three towers, which gave the returning troops of Yongyang Fucheng a way to escape. It was a siege that conformed to the law of war. It gave the returning troops who were defending the city the will to resist, and also had a little more caution and a desire to survive.
They are ready to make a move. Like the Hui cavalry, most of them can escape. If other Hui people and infantry escape from the city, they will not have much chance to escape. It will be a tragic massacre.
This kind of siege by the Qing army made it impossible for the Hui army to defend the city with the mentality that we would all be destroyed. Originally, the Hui army was a loose organization, with big brothers from all walks of life having their own agendas. Even when they went to the city to guard the city, there were complaints.
"Bring that prisoner in. I have something to ask him." Chen Lin thought that he had done something wrong. He tore up a letter and used it as a joke. He should have fought with the Qing army in a battle of wits and courage.
The thin prisoner stood in the hall timidly, with his head lowered and his body hunched, not daring to look up at anyone.
The fifth commander, Chen Lin, acted very magnanimously and said humbly: "Guo Baochang sent you here. What message did you ask you to bring?"
The captives from the returning army were not human inside and out, so they risked their lives and said in a deep voice: "Report to Chen Shuai, Guo Baochang is very arrogant. He wants you and Feng Shuai to clean their necks, so he will not surrender to the returning army. In fact, it is Xu Zhanbiao and Li Guo
Lou hopes to return to the army and surrender, that’s all I know.”
The returning generals were well aware of the characteristics of the Qing generals in leading troops, and how Guo Baochang's Anhui army treated the Hui people. Chen Lin remained calm and continued to ask: "Have you seen that Li Guolou? He has
What wasn't said?"
"Report to Chen Shuai, that stinky and shameless playboy brother, a dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth, and he is the common people tossing and turning. He still has one hundred thousand taels of silver. Chen Shuai doesn't like to hear it."
"Silver" shouted loudly so that the officers in the hall could hear him.
This kind of money bribery is a common trick used by the Qing Dynasty. The generals who returned to the army have already heard it. However, this is the first time they heard of "one hundred thousand taels of silver" being lavished. The generals who returned to the army murmured in their stomachs.
I warned myself again, it’s fake! It must be fake! Mangou keeps his word and likes to lie the most.
"Of course it's fake. The Qing army can't even pay out any money. Where can the money come from?" Seventh Commander Feng Junfu was afraid of shaking the morale of the army, so he immediately found the weakness of the Qing army. He looked at the two rows of officers around him with righteousness.
At first glance, everyone nodded frequently and denounced the cunningness of the Qing army. They regarded them as fools. Who would believe the words of the Qing army? These officers looked at each other for a few times, and they would definitely talk about it later. It was a fantasy.
Ten thousand taels of silver are like flying carpets flying in the sky. Whoever can control them will be able to see heaven.
The Seventh Commander Feng Junfu sighed slightly, as if he had something to hide, and said: "Go back and tell Guo Baochang that we still have to discuss it. After three days, we will send someone to the Qing army camp to give a final answer. You go to eat first and let me write.
I wrote a letter to Li Guolou. The future of the 30,000 Hui people puts me in a dilemma."
The returning prisoner wisely exited the hall. He was secretly grateful that his life was saved.[
The Seventh Commander Feng Junfu remained motionless, looking at the officers in the hall, and said with a casual smile: "First spend time with Manqing, three days after three days, and let Mangou be complacent."
The generals who returned to the army all said that this was a good idea, and that they had three days of room for maneuver to strengthen the city defense. As for whether the Qing army would be deceived, who cares if they wait three days after three days! At worst, they will all be destroyed.
The two marshals discussed how to deal with the Qing army. A group of officers under their command dispersed, each in their own small circle. They walked together in an orderly manner, muttering and talking about the most secretive things. The Huijun army was built in their hometown.
Most of the generals in the army were rich men from their hometowns. They used to have armed forces to guard their homes and homes, and rebelled in the face of national justice.
These rich people, who have wives, concubines, and a huge family, think about things much more than wealthy people. If Yongyang City is besieged and there is no way out, and everyone defends the city, these people are also upright heroes. Bad guys.
The bad thing is that the Qing army left a way for the Hui army to survive, and used the tactic of surrounding three ques and one to lure the Hui army and let the Hui army
They struggled with their own thoughts and exhausted their fighting spirit in the hesitation. Just now these people heard the shocking news that Li Guolou of the Qing Dynasty gave out 100,000 taels of silver to bribe the rebellious returning troops. Regardless of whether it was true or not, there was always someone interested.
Topics. Officers will not spread news that is beneficial to the Qing army in the army, but it is inevitable to discuss it with each other.
Another characteristic of these Hui army officers is that the people who gathered together to talk were all relatives. The Hui people's uprising was a nation's rebellion against the Qing Dynasty. It was very ambitious and very united at the beginning. The Hui people are a nation with strong cohesion.
.Unlike the rebellion of the Han people, where the Han people fought against the Han people from the very beginning, the traitors used the Thirty-Six Strategies as an excuse to betray the country, and even the traitors who acted the same way could become heroes of the founding of the country.
Five relatives and friends walked into a courtyard tacitly. The door of the mansion was wide open, making it look as usual to the people on the street. There were strict sentries inside. They just said hello on the road and went to the uncle Cao Zhongquan's house for lunch.
Uncle Cao Zhongquan is the elder of these people. Although the members of their armed forces come from all over the world, the backbone of them are all villagers from Taichang Township.
Cao Zhongquan sat on the kang and smoked his pipe, making clicking sounds from his mouth. He didn't speak for a long time, and the scene was a bit depressing. Several relatives chatted and talked about yesterday's battle. Gaoziying was so ruthless that they captured it in one day.
In Peng Yuan Mountain, the morale of the returning troops is not high, and they must find ways to boost their morale.
Several juniors looked at Cao Zhongquan, which meant that Cao Zhongquan was asking him to spend money to win people's hearts.
