"There was a severe drought and locust plagues in Henan and Shandong before. It was impossible to survive, so we rebelled just now. We only wanted a way to survive!" Yuan Shizhong looked seriously and shouted loudly, "I don't deny this!"
Hearing him speak, the rest of the two armies stopped talking, so his voice, like Li Guo's words, could be heard far away.
"However, this is not my intention. I raised an army to rebel, and the military disaster was far worse than a natural disaster. How many people's families were destroyed and their families were separated because of the military disaster. I won't tell you, but you should also know!"
Hearing this, Li Guo was a little surprised. He did not expect that Yuan Zhuangfei did not deny that he had betrayed his brother, but said it from another angle.
"Thanks to the magnanimity of the current emperor and the Duke Xingguo who loves the people like his son, he does not want the people of the world to continue to suffer from the war and is willing to wait for a way out for me to end the war as soon as possible." When Yuan Shizhong said this, he said loudly and sincerely, "Li Guo , for yourself, for your brothers, for the sake of the suffering people in the world, put down your weapons, this is my way out!"
"..." Li Guo didn't expect that Yuan Shizhong would actually persuade him to surrender in front of the formation.
In fact, others didn't expect it either.
Many thieves couldn't help but think about Yuan Shizhong's words. A considerable number of them were actually coerced into rebelling, and eventually became thieves who coerced others into rebelling.
Their life has been like this for a long time. After all, there is only one day at a time, so who would think so much.
Or, at the beginning, when they went to harm others, their conscience would still bother them. After all, no one is born bad. However, as time goes by, it becomes numb.
At this time, Yuan Shizhong said that the person who was hiding in their hearts and did not want to think about it anymore could not help but recall it again.
As a result, some people were moved, some regretted it, some people disagreed, and some people sneered. In short, Yuan Shizhong's words finally triggered some thinking.
Li Guo quickly came to his senses. How could he be persuaded by Yuan Shizhong so easily? However, everyone, at any time, must pay attention to a righteous name.
Therefore, he immediately responded loudly: "Bah, you betrayed your brothers and betrayed us, but you still beat us up and said that we harmed the people. You surnamed Yuan are really nothing. If it weren't for the stupidity of the emperor and the rampant corruption of corrupt officials, Will we rebel? Why do you love your people like your own children, and you are so flattering, how thick-skinned do you have to be?"
Having said this, he turned around and shouted behind him: "Brothers, are there any officials who love the people like their own children?"
Upon hearing this, the bandits shouted in response: "No!"
After Li Guo heard this, he turned back, looked at Yuan Shizhong and shouted loudly: "Did you hear it? This is the cry of brothers! Which of the brothers has not been bullied by corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry? In today's imperial court, there are still A good official who loves his people like his own son, do you still want to show your shame?"
When Yuan Shizhong heard this, he hurriedly said: "Dong Xingguo is different. You can ask around. Duke Xingguo is a good official who loves his people like his own son..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Guo interrupted him disdainfully: "Yuan Shizhong, bah, I surrendered to the imperial court and didn't even give up my face? You are so shameless in flattering and flattering Duke Xingguo, you It has indeed changed!”
"..." Yuan Shizhong was speechless for a moment. He found that no matter what he said, the other party would not believe it and would think he was flattering.
When Li Guo finished speaking, all the thieves across from him began to curse, which was a good proof.
For a moment, he didn't know how to reply.
The bandits gathered together to scold them. Some were scolding Yuan Shizhong, some were scolding Duke Xingguo, and some were scolding Emperor Chongzhen and the corrupt officials who had oppressed them...
In short, there are so many people on the bandit side, and the combined momentum created by each person's words is astonishing.
When Li Zicheng saw this scene, he smiled proudly, turned to look at Luo Rucai and said, "How about it? Are you ready for military morale?"
Indeed, the morale of the bandits increased greatly, and the officers and soldiers on the opposite side were silent, and one could see at a glance the benefits of this conversation.
When Song Xiance heard Li Zicheng's words and looked at this scene, he also stroked his long beard proudly. He was obviously very satisfied, all he needed was a feather fan in his hand.
Yuan Shizhong was helpless and had no choice but to drive his horse back and came to Zhang Mingwei. He somewhat helplessly apologized and said: "My lord, the traitors are unreasonable..."
"Haha, it's okay, justice is in the heart!" After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei smiled slightly and said, "It's their loss if they don't listen to advice. They will definitely envy you in the future!"
Yuan Shizhong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Duke Xingguo did not blame him.
On the side of the rogue thief, beside Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi felt hot in his heart when he saw this formation. He became more confident about his ability to make meritorious deeds.
After waiting for a while, he couldn't wait any longer, so he immediately stretched out his hand to signal the thieves to mute the noise. Finally, when the entire battlefield was quiet, he shouted loudly to the imperial officers and soldiers: "Brother You guys, it was my incompetence that led to the defeat of the battle, which caused you to be arrested by the imperial officers and soldiers. I know that now that you are wearing the skin of the imperial court, you are forced to do so..."
"Who is that person?" Zhang Mingwei asked when he heard the shouting.
When Yuan Shizhong heard this, he quickly reported: "It's Yuan Zongdi!"
"Oh, it turns out it's him!" Zhang Mingwei nodded after hearing this and looked at his defeated general without saying anything.
"...You must be bullied by the imperial officers and soldiers, and bullied by the generals and servants. It's okay. When the war starts later, it will be the time to take revenge..."
After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei knew the intention of his words, which was really insidious. Even if they are not persuaded by him, generally speaking, the generals here will have scruples about using pawns.
So, he turned to look at the people around him and nodded to Lan Tianbao.
When Lan Tianbao saw it, he immediately drove his horse forward, interrupted Yuan Zongdi, and said loudly: "My generals were defeated, my army was wiped out, and I ran away alone. It's a shame that you still have the face to face the brothers who once believed in you!"
"..." When Yuan Zong heard this for the first time, the scar in his heart suddenly burst into blood, and he shouted angrily: "Who are you?"
"What does it matter who I am? Isn't what I said the truth?" Lan Tianbao shouted coldly, "You are incompetent and endanger the three armies. You run away alone without caring about your clothes. This is what you often do. That's why you have no face. By showing up here shamelessly, are you worthy of the brother you tricked to death?"
For a bandit, a big defeat is nothing. Almost every bandit leader has experienced it.
But now, the bandit has begun to win the battle. This kind of defeat and escape is not a good thing after all. When he is exposed on the spot, his face is also burning.
Yuan Zongdi was furious when he heard this and opened his mouth to speak, but found that he didn't seem to have anything to say to refute. After all, it was a fact that he was beaten and annihilated. You can't say that your imperial officers and soldiers ambushed him. It's too insidious, right?
This is fighting, not playing house!
As soon as Lan Tianbao opened his mouth, he suppressed the momentum on the other side, and he immediately shouted loudly: "The brothers who have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light are fighting for the peace of the world, unlike you who continue to harm the people! They are eating dry food now, and they are still fighting for the peace of the world. There is military pay to be received! What about you, how many of you can eat dry food every day, do you have military pay? You have nothing, you will only harm the people! The right and wrong, justice lies in the hearts of the people."
Yuan Zongdi was anxious and didn't know how to retort. When he heard this, he was overjoyed, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and shouted quickly: "I'm laughing to death, you are talking about the servants of those generals, right?" ? We have daily meals and military pay. Do you think we have never been soldiers?"
Having said this, he turned his head and shouted in the direction of the bandits: "Brothers who have served in the imperial army, please tell them what the truth is and who is telling lies with their eyes open. Where is the justice?”
Upon hearing his words, most of the bandit army, especially the cavalry, were from the frontier army or the official army. They all remembered what happened back then, and they couldn't help it, and they immediately started to curse.
"I was about to starve to death back then, yet I still did this, what the hell?"
"That's right, what is military pay? Come on, tell us, what the hell is military pay? I've never seen it before!"
"Damn it, do you know that you are selling your sons and daughters? I was forced to die back then!"
"..."
Tens of thousands of thieves cursed in unison. Later, the ordinary rebels suddenly became angry when they remembered the sad events in the past, and started to curse one after another.
For a moment, this scene made Li Zicheng burst into laughter and said repeatedly: "Morale can be used, military morale can be used, good, good, good..."
When Yuan Zongdi heard the thunderous shouts and curses behind him, he felt proud. It seemed that his morale had been greatly improved this time, and he was able to make a difference.
Lan Tianbao felt a little angry after hearing this, and wanted to argue that today is different from the past, but then he remembered that the other party would say that he was flattering and he would not believe it. I immediately felt that my right to speak was so weak.
Yuan Zongdi was proud for a while, but before he could show off, he stretched out his hand to signal the rebels to quiet down, and then shouted to the officers and soldiers: "Brothers, stop working for the court. Look in front of you. , one spitting breath can drown you all. If you can't defeat us, if you are injured and disabled, even if you are lucky enough to survive, have you ever thought about how you will live in the future? "
At this point, he shouted loudly and proudly: "Your final outcome will only be corpses that starve to death. The court will not care about you."
"The Duke has said that he guarantees that the generals in the army will have no worries, will always have someone to rely on, and will never break his promise!" When Lan Tianbao heard this, of course he would not let him say it, and he quickly retorted loudly.
However, his words seemed to have no effect at all. Instead, they caused the group of thieves to burst into laughter.
