When Gu Xianxiong heard Zhao Gou's words, he was frightened.
Zhao Gou is suspected of being mentally ill.
If you show any disloyalty at this time, you may be killed by Zhao Gou.
Gu Xianxiong looked serious and said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I am your confidant. Only by receiving the kindness of your Majesty, can I show my talent and learn, can I stand out, and have everything I have today."
"Without the king, I am nothing."
"In this life, I will only be loyal to the king and will not have any other choice. The king is the eternal sage. If I don't follow the king, who will I follow?"
"The reason why Zhao Shan was able to win was just through conspiracy. It was a temporary victory that could not last long."
Gu Xianxiong looked solemn and said solemnly: "Your Majesty treats the virtuous and corporal, respects the great clan, and advances and retreats with the great clan. Such a sage king, God will not sit idly by and ignore it. After all the hardships, the king will surely be able to see the moon when the clouds clear." Ming, we will definitely win.”
There was a smile on Zhao Gou's face, his eyes were approving, he stroked his beard and said, "I believe in you."
call! !
Gu Xianxiong breathed a sigh of relief.
But he had other thoughts in his mind. Zhao Shan's troops were approaching the city, and Zhao Gou was already a bereaved dog.
Zhao Shan killed Wang Chunying again and knew Japan's movements, so he would definitely take precautions. Under this premise, it is obviously very difficult for Zhao Gou to defeat Zhao Shan again, or it is impossible to reverse the situation. Being able to hold on is considered the luckiest thing.
Zhao Gou no longer paid attention to Gu Xianxiong, looked at the general Bai Wanli who was responsible for guarding the city on the tower, and asked: "Bai Wanli, are you also planning to surrender to Zhao Shan?"
Bai Wanli is in his early thirties.
In terms of origin, the Bai family is also a wealthy family in Yangzhou, with a profound foundation. In terms of relationship, Bai Wanli is Zhao Gou's brother-in-law and can be regarded as Zhao Gou's brother-in-law.
Bai Wanli himself was quite brave, so he could sit in Wuxian and take charge of Wuxian's army.
Bai Wanli was wearing armor and said with a serious smile: "No matter what circumstances the king is in, no matter your victory or defeat, I will follow you to the death. I, the Bai family, will also follow you to the death."
Zhao Gou nodded and said: "That's right. With your energy and spirit, I will not waste my respect for you. When I defeat Zhao Shanhou and counterattack Luoyang and ascend the throne, you will definitely be my general to do great things." "
Bai Wanli said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Gou lowered his voice and said calmly: "Zhao Shan always hates evil and hates people who rob and rape women. Bai Wanli has this hobby, and everyone knows it. If you fall into Zhao Shan's hands, you will definitely die." If you want to save your life, do your best and don’t be defeated by Zhao Shan.”
hiss!
Bai Wanli took a breath.
His eyes were even more shocked.
As long as his little quirk is not exposed, it would be a bit embarrassing if it was exposed. Fortunately, Bai Wanli was thick-skinned and solemnly clasped his fists and said: "Please rest assured, your Majesty, the general will definitely defend the city and live up to the king's high expectations. If Zhao Shan wants to conquer Wu County, he must first step over the general."
Zhao Gou patted Bai Wanli on the shoulder, looking like he was entrusted with an important task, and nodded: "I believe in you."
Bai Wanli breathed a sigh of relief.
He always felt that Zhao Gou seemed a little different today.
A little more gloomy.
After Zhao Gou comforted Bai Wanli, he turned to look at the other soldiers on the tower and said loudly: "In times of crisis, there should be thunderbolt measures. If anyone is disobedient and has thoughts that he shouldn't have, don't blame me. Cruel and ruthless.”
"On weekdays, I treat you all with kindness and kindness. I feed you, clothe you, and let you support your family."
"Now, it's your turn to repay the favor."
"Many of you are members of a big family. Don't listen to Zhao Shan's talk about letting things go by the wayside, or about saving the lives of others by taking advantage of past mistakes and saving others. These are all lies to deceive people. They are impossible."
Zhao Gou said in a deep voice: "I hope you will take care of yourself."
The soldiers were solemn and silent.
Everyone is afraid.
Zhao Gou is now like a mad dog. If he offends Zhao Gou and is killed, his death will be in vain.
Zhao Gou no longer stayed, and took Gu Xianxiong back to Prince Wu's Mansion, and arranged for people to call the officials of the Prince's Mansion and the heads of the major families in Wu County to discuss matters.
The palace hall was overcrowded.
Zhao Gou sat on the main seat.
Gu Xianxiong sat in the first place on the left, Chief Shi Yu Yong sat in the right seat, as well as the military commander of Prince Wu's Palace, Ma Zhou Xin, the leader of the big family Zhang Guangdao, and many other big family principals.
Zhao Gou looked around at everyone and said slowly: "Zhao Shan surrounded Wu County and shouted. I think you all know the specific content. I know that some of you have some ideas."
"I would like to remind you one thing. Zhao Shan has always hated big families and was harsh on them. In Luoyang, Zhao Shan promoted Du Gangfeng, the imperial censor, as deputy prime minister to detect lawlessness and specifically target big families."
"Big families in the Daqian area were arrested one after another. Their families were broken up, their wives and children were separated, their money was scattered, their land was confiscated, and they died in miserable conditions."
"The big family of Daqian is actually very well-behaved. They don't annex the people's land and control the people tightly like you do. Unlike you, not only do the people let the people plow the land for you for free, but they also have to help you. work."
"Because I am kind and know that you are capable, I am willing to share the world with you."
"If it were Zhao Shan, he could kill everyone, and no one could escape."
Zhao Gou's voice was cold, without any warmth. He was not chatting and laughing like before. He only gave a naked and straightforward explanation, thoroughly explaining the situation of the big family.
Gu Xianxiong is the spokesperson of the big family.
Zhao Gou defeated him and he had some ideas, but after Zhao Gou said something, Gu Xianxiong admitted that Zhao Gou's words made sense. In the whole world, only Zhao Gou is willing to rule the world together with the big family.
Zhao Shan wants to control the big family and treat the big family like dogs, which is definitely not possible.
There is a fundamental difference between Zhao Gou and Zhao Shan.
Gu Xianxiong took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, my Gu family is determined to resist Zhao Shan to the death. We will never give in and will not let Zhao Shan break Wu County."
Yu Yong looked serious and expressed his position: "Your Majesty, I will also fight to the death against Zhao Shan. The whole Yu family and Zhao Shan are at odds with each other."
Zhou Xin, Zhang Guangdao and others expressed their opinions one after another.
Everyone supports Zhao Gou.
There is no way, here are all representatives of big families, no one comes from a poor family, no one has no background. The big family enjoys the current benefits and is used to the current good life. How can they be willing to be restrained by Zhao Shan?
Just like this, even if the situation is very bad, everyone must resist Zhao Shan, because Zhao Shan cannot benefit the big family.
Zhao Gou was worried that the big family would be influenced by Zhao Shan.
Only then did he specially summon everyone.
One by one, the big families expressed their stance, and Zhao Gou breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Gou's expression softened and he said slowly: "Although we have lost the power of the White Lotus Sect, each family still has strength, and I still have direct descendants. We have a strong city and can fight to the end. Wait for the Japanese army Come, we can switch from defense to offense.”
Everyone agreed.
Everyone was thinking about how to deal with Zhao Shan's army.
Zhao Gou, Gu Xianxiong and everyone spoke freely about the things and arrangements for the fight against Zhao Shan.
In Wu County City, the hearts of the big families gradually stabilized, and the city remained strong.
Outside the city, there is the Daqian military camp.
The Chinese military tent.
After Qi Yuanjing set up camp, Zhao Shan thought of a strategy to attack Wu County and called Wei Wan.
After Wei Wan became famous in the first battle in Jingzhou, she followed Zhao Shan and waited for arrangements. Although she was only a doctor, she was Zhao Shan's close minister.
Zhao Shan asked with a smile: "Wei Wan, do you think what I said today can incite the people under Zhao Gou to rebel?"
Wei Wan said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Zhao Shan asked: "Why?"
Wei Wan said neither humble nor arrogantly: "It's not that your Majesty's words are not tempting, it's that Zhao Gou's subordinates are all from Yangzhou's wealthy families."
"As far as I know, the Yangzhou clan and Zhao Gou co-govern the place. These clans are very powerful. They invade the interests of the people, treat the people like cattle and horses, exploit the people's land, and control them to death."
"The actions of the Yangzhou clan are not allowed by the imperial court and are not allowed by Your Majesty. These people are used to co-ruling the place with Zhao Gou. It is impossible for them to hand over their power and serve Your Majesty."
"Unless they are willing to give up the interests of the family, which is impossible."
Wei Wan said: "That's right. I conclude that the Yangzhou clan and Zhao Gou must fight to the death."
Zhao Shan praised: "You can see clearly."
Wei Wan said: "I just have some ideas based on what your Majesty saw and heard."
Zhao Shan's eyes were sharp and he said in a deep voice: "Zhao Gou who is trapped in Wu County is not worth mentioning. These Yangzhou big families will have no impact if they don't surrender. Whether it is Zhao Gou or the Yangzhou big families, they are just local chickens and dogs. "
"If I want to forcefully attack Wu County and attack with a large army, I am sure that I will defeat it in one battle and I can definitely get in."
"I'm thinking about Japan."
"First trap Zhao Gou and attract Japanese reinforcements. If Zhao Gou is destroyed, it will be difficult to scare Japan away."
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "The Japanese army is coming. The Xuanjia Army is difficult to use, and the Modao Camp has a small number of people and is not flexible enough. If we want to defeat Japan on a large scale and in one go, what do you think we should do?"
Wei Wan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is very simple."
Zhao Shan replied: "How about a simple method?"
A flash of light flashed across Wei Wan's eyes, and she said slowly: "I studied with my teacher and read a book by the sages, which recorded the situation of dealing with the Japanese."
"To deal with the Japanese, we don't use cavalry to fight, because the topography of Yangzhou is not conducive to cavalry. At the same time, we don't set up military formations to deal with the Japanese, because there are paddy fields and rivers everywhere nearby, and the roads are relatively narrow, so it is impossible to set up a large formation."
"Actually, Modao Camp is the most suitable for charging and killing, but there are too few soldiers in Modao Camp. The Japanese soldiers spread out to attack. Modao Camp has fewer people and slower speed. It is impossible to achieve full success in one battle."
"To fight against the Japanese army, we need simple and practical methods."
Wei Wan said quickly: "I suggest that we arrange soldiers to form small teams, with the small team as the main force and the wolf sword as the weapon, and train the military formation. We will definitely be able to easily defeat the Japanese army."
