Li Guo and Song Xiance were indeed fooled. When they heard this, they were shocked. The officers and soldiers secretly went south to regain the lost territory while they were going north. They didn't know such important information...
The matter has become so serious that Li Guo has neither time nor mood to talk nonsense with Li Muxian. Since he can spend money to quell the disaster and quell the civil unrest, it would be best if he can be kept far away from being exploited by the officers and soldiers. Although the money and food are a bit painful, the current situation is pressing, so it is worth enduring it for the time being, and dealing with him properly when I have free hands. When I was upset, I originally planned to offer more benefits to Niubi to help him, but I also gave up the idea. Anyway, as long as he withdraws If we leave, Ma Shiyao can leave the city. The two men and horses can still handle the situation at hand.
So Li Guo asked Ma Shiyao's subordinate Lu Bufan to follow Li Muxian to Zhending Fucheng to ask for money and food, while he ordered Ma Shiyao's subordinate Lu Bufan to go to Zhending Fucheng to ask for money and food.
When Lu Bufan took several of Li Yan's confidants to the gate of Zhending City, he couldn't help but hug him several times in succession. Seeing that the city gate was tightly blocked, he immediately became stupid. In the end, a basket was lowered from the city and he was hoisted up. .
Ma Shiyao couldn't help but feel a heartache when he learned that he had to provide food and money. However, this was Li Guo's order and he had to obey it. Besides, he also felt that it was lucky to be able to use money and food to settle this wave of civil unrest. Otherwise, if it were allowed to continue, it might be used by the officers and soldiers. The consequences would be disastrous.
Naturally, there are tens of thousands of taels of silver and ten thousand stones of grain in the city. Even though Ma Shiyao was reluctant to give up, he finally nodded in agreement, so Li Muchian dug a hole in the south gate and took over the money and grain. The money was handed over to Chen Wangting for custody. The food was handed over to the Guardian Army for escort, and they took the lead in retreating to the east.
After all this trouble, it was noon. When Li Yan saw that the refugees had not dispersed, he sent someone to question Li Muxian and replied: The grain truck had just arrived and he was worried that the rebel army would turn around and pursue him, so he planned to disperse when it got dark. Li Guo was very angry. He blew his beard and stared, but there was nothing he could do.
Chen Ruxin quietly went to Huang Degong's camp and informed him that the money and grain had been obtained. The grain truck going east would eventually be sent to Jizhou, while the silver truck would be escorted to Zhaozhou. According to the plan, Li Muxian would lead the refugees to evacuate eastward at night, and after arriving in Jizhou, they would divide the grain and disperse.
Huang Degong laughed proudly: "Everyone in the army said that I am brave, foolhardy and rough, but this time I am fooling Li Guo around. It's really fun."
All the generals agreed and flattered each other wildly. After feeling pleased with themselves, Huang Degong immediately ordered preparations for war. At the same time, he sent people to find the palace camp. Luo Hu's Zhenshan camp among the rebels was a tough opponent. It was very difficult for ordinary people and horses to fight against each other, and Gongzi camp. The Ziying are heavily armored cavalry. Although there are not many in number, their combat power is extremely high. They are best used to block eye-catching positions and blow up bunkers.
"Sir, when will the war begin?" General Weng Zhiqi asked.
"When to find Gongziying, when to fight?" Huang Degong was as calm as water. Gongziying was strolling nearby, so it was not difficult to find him.
"Your Excellency, are you not afraid that the bandits will take the lead in attacking?" Ma Degong, the general, also asked.
Huang Degong smiled and said: "If the arrogant person doesn't leave, will Li Guo dare to take action?" The generals couldn't help but laugh together.
However, the ones who laughed the most were the followers of Li Muxian. Seeing hundreds of carts of food being pulled out from the city, they all cheered, thankful that they were following the right god.
The most fundamental reason why the refugees were willing to be coerced by the rebels and used as artillery fire was because they had no food. If they didn't follow, they would have to starve to death. Although if they followed, they could barely survive.
But now I don't have to be a thief, secondly I don't have to rebel, and thirdly I don't have to be cannon fodder but I am earning so much food, how can I not be happy about it.
Although some people are confused, didn't they say that they were helping the officers and soldiers before? Why are the thieves now providing food? Someone has answered them. It was because they helped the officers and soldiers besiege the city and the thieves were anxious that they could not get out, so they bribed us with food.
Wouldn't that be equivalent to helping a thief?
Of course, it was agreed by the officers and soldiers. Didn't you see that part of the food (actually silver carts) was going to be given to the officers and soldiers? That is filial piety. If the officers and soldiers accept the filial piety, they will not regard us as rebels. Let’s transport the food to a safe place first, and then we want to separate after we divide it...
The food has been transported away, why don’t people evacuate?
Think about it, we took the opportunity to steal so much money from the rebel army, how could they be willing to do so and not immediately chase us as soon as we leave the city, so they have to wait until the food is farther away before withdrawing...
In fact, these homeless people were confused after hearing this, and they couldn't figure out how the three parties were involved, but as long as there was food, it was a good thing. As for the rest, just follow the lead.
The people were so happy that they gathered in crowds to kneel down and worship their half-immortal Taoist priest. Little did they know that Li Muxian was plotting with Huang Degong on how to inflict serious damage on Li Guo.
Li Guo was a little anxious in the camp. The spies sent to Baoding to report should have arrived at this time. If the predictions are correct, reinforcements will arrive soon. If Huang Degong takes action at this time, he still has a chance. Otherwise, let alone wait for the reinforcements to arrive. As soon as the refugees retreated and Ma Shiyao left the city, he would be the first to take action.
But will the refugees really evacuate when it gets dark? Will they have some secret deal with the officers and soldiers? And will the little eunuch still have ambushes around?
Li Guo didn't know this, and he didn't even know that at this time, the young eunuch was leading his troops in a bloody battle with Li Zicheng outside Baoding City. The thieves were defeated by two lines of defense and switched from offense to defense.
In the evening, a group of heavily armored cavalry came from the southwest. They first circled around Zhending City. Their murderous aura shocked the rebels on the city and the refugees outside the city. Then they headed east into Huang Degong's camp. Needless to say, it was the Gongzi camp that came back.
Under Chang Yu's order, Gongziying harassed the enemy everywhere and caused a great commotion in Zhending Mansion. They even went to the city walls to harass the enemy, which made the rebels angry and frightened. However, with their unparalleled combat power, they , came and went without a trace, and for a while the bandits were unable to do anything to him.
The bandit army sent several groups of troops to search for them. The Gongzi camp escaped and headed south to the junction of Guangping Mansion. When they heard that the refugees were in chaos, Huang Degong turned his horse to come to help the battle when he sent his troops north. The people who happened to meet Huang Degong quickly came forward on horseback. .
"You three are awesome. Three hundred people made the Zhending Mansion go crazy. The thieves are helpless. I have to ask the young governor to get heavy armor equipment for the Black Tiger Camp." Tu Yuan saw Hu Ling, Fan Jiaqian , Li Tiezhu and the three returned to the camp with all kinds of envy and jealousy on their faces.
"Yeah, the three of us together can't beat you. It would be even worse if we put on heavy armor for you." Hu Ling joked, and then asked seriously: "Did you hear that Luo Hu's Zhenshan Camp is coming?"
"Yes, otherwise we wouldn't have dared to go to the palace." Huang Degong went out to greet him. The three of them were eager to greet him, but Mr. Huang was the only one who followed suit.
Immediately, the generals entered the tent to discuss. After some discussion, Huang Degong ordered Tu Yuan to lead the Gongzi Camp, the Black Tiger Camp, and Chang Yu's personal soldiers Kuang Ren, etc., as sharp knives to attack the Zhenshan Camp that resisted Luo Hu. Seven generals under his command Encircle and annihilate Li Guo's troops.
After the agreement, all ministries immediately mobilized troops and generals, waiting for Huang Degong to give the order to attack.
"General Huang, it's getting late, why don't you take action?" Tu Yuan couldn't help himself.
"We'll take action when the bull's nose is gone." Huang Degong stood outside the tent and looked towards Zhending City to the west, and at the refugee Li Chengdong to the north, his tone was light.
"Then it will be dark, Commander-in-Chief, there are many disadvantages in starting a battle at dark..." Hu Ling frowned slightly worried.
"There are many disadvantages for us, and the same goes for the traitors. The reason why I started the war in the dark is because..." Huang Degong smiled evilly, and his voice became lower and lower. The generals suddenly realized, and there were smiles on their faces. The idea emerges.
"General, the refugees have dispersed." Li Guo, who was discussing matters with Song Xiance and others in the camp, was overjoyed when he heard this. He hurriedly walked out of the commander's tent and looked up. He saw in the distance that the dark crowd in the southwest was actually going eastward, so he immediately sent people to investigate nearby.
Not long after, spies came to report that the refugees in the north of the city had indeed gone eastward, but the refugees under the siege had not dispersed and had blocked the opened south gate. Li Guo frowned and sent someone to hear the news from Li Muchian.
Reporting back later, Li Muxian still used the same excuse. He was afraid that the bandit army would leave the city repeatedly to pursue them, so they would gradually disperse after they had gone far away. Li Guo snorted coldly, with a murderous look on his face. He didn't want to kill them all, but one of them After repeated delays, he was finally angered and secretly swore that as soon as this matter was over, he would find that cow's nose to the end of the world to scratch his skin and twitch.
Immediately, he was anxious to discuss matters with his generals. The officers and soldiers were so close but motionless. There were only two possibilities for them to wait and see what would happen without breaking the city or attacking. One was waiting for reinforcements, and the other was waiting for the refugees to evacuate like himself.
Even so, we act aggressively and immediately send troops to attack the enemy as soon as the refugees have withdrawn. The generals seconded their approval, and then each mobilized to prepare for war.
The defeat of Taiyuan was a great shame and humiliation. The blood debt must be repaid with blood. The previous defeat of Zhou Yuji's tribe was just the beginning. Now the yellow dog is stewed as interest. After that, the army broke through the city of Baoding and went north to collect the capital. Li Guo and Luo Hu watched the sunset. He looked down, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
