Seeing how shocked he was, Song Xiance said proudly, "You didn't expect that?"
"I can't think of it, of course I can't think of it!" After hearing this, Yuan Zongdi immediately shook his head and said, "Who can imagine it?"
For this trick, the so-called reluctance to let go of the child could not trap the wolf. It turned out that Li Guo was let go. That boy Li Laiheng would definitely be very happy!
"No one has thought of it, which means that this strategy will definitely succeed!" Song Xiance boasted proudly, then stopped smiling, looked at Yuan Zongdi and said, "This time he spent a lot of money, the general, You must see Tian Jianxiu’s head and reverse the situation of continuous deserters in the army. Therefore, after the news comes back, you must go all out while working together internally and externally!”
"..." Yuan Zongdi was a little dumbfounded. From what he meant, it seemed that if it didn't succeed, that was the reason why Yuan Zongdi didn't go all out!
Did the military advisor say this unintentionally, or did he say it on purpose? If it doesn't work out, will you take the responsibility yourself?
Thinking of this, Yuan Zongdi felt that it was necessary to make it clear, and immediately said seriously: "I will definitely go all out, but can you ensure that this time, the former conspirators will not be sent away?"
"Of course!" After hearing this, Song Xiance became proud again and explained to Yuan Zongdi: "Having Li Guo as a meeting gift should be enough proof of his surrender, right? Then he thought that He Yilong and the others would take revenge. As an excuse, what reason do the imperial officers and soldiers have for not meeting his request to stay in the army?"
Thinking about it this way, it seems to make sense.
Yuan Zongdi thought for a moment and suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
Although it sounds like everything is planned by Song Xiance, his many years of being a gangster have also made his sixth sense very keen. Especially for Yuan Zongdi, he has never won against the imperial army led by Duke Xingguo.
This situation made him feel that it was very likely that a situation would arise where one's superiority was one foot higher than the other's.
Want to get your wish? It’s not easy!
Song Xiance didn't have as many ideas as him. If he felt there was a problem, he wouldn't offer this strategy. From beginning to end, he thought about it once and didn't expect any flaws!
As a result, Yuan Zongdi's army deliberately shrank and opened a way to escape from the rear to Tian Jianxiu's army.
Naturally, He Baisui and others took Li Guo and successfully escaped to Tian Jianxiu's army.
"What?" Tian Jianxiu was overjoyed when he heard Ye Budi's report, but he also asked with a little disbelief, "Is it really Li Guo?"
"One of the people who came here is indeed a tiger!" This man, Ye Bushou, was a former subordinate of Luo Rucai, so he recognized Li Guo and replied affirmatively.
"Haha!" Tian Jianxiu heard this and said overjoyed, "Okay, another old brother came out!"
The reason why he was so happy was that although he asked Duke Xingguo to fight and came to persuade his former brothers to surrender, he was still under pressure. After all, he used to be Li Zicheng's top general!
Of course Tian Jianxiu also knew that Li Zicheng would definitely hate him to the bone.
However, once Li Guo escaped, he would no longer be the one in the lead!
When it comes to fame and relationship with Li Zicheng, of course Tian Jianxiu ranks behind Li Guo.
Moreover, Li Guo's ability to escape can be regarded as his contribution to Tian Jianxiu. If that boy Li Laiheng knew, he would probably be grateful to himself for the rest of his life!
Thinking about this, how could Tian Jianxiu be unhappy?
However, as the supervisor, Lan Tianbao was even more confused!
After discovering something was wrong before, although the excuse to the outside world was to send them to the rear to let these people who abandoned the dark and turned to the light have a look, the court did not lie. In fact, they were sent to the rear because they did not trust and were unsure of these people.
This means that he has been wondering if the bandit is up to something!
Later, Li Guo, who was imprisoned in Chongqing, was able to escape!
Others wouldn't think of it, but Lan Tianbao could easily connect this matter with his previous suspicions.
So, he frowned and asked, "Old Tian, is this Li Guo really someone who loves the imperial court?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Jianxiu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but wonder, are all Jin Yiwei so suspicious?
However, he did not dare to say this, so he just smiled and replied: "When he was still in Xiangyang, Li Guo persuaded Li Zicheng to surrender to the court. As a result, Li Zicheng was furious and wanted to kill Li Guo. However, Li Zicheng's daughter-in-law tried her best to dissuade him. , he was saved from death, but only imprisoned. Li Zicheng threatened to let Li Guo see whether he, Li Zicheng, could succeed!"
Hearing what Tian Jianxiu said, Lan Tianbao's doubts about Li Guo disappeared. Because it would be unbelievable if it was just for the sake of today.
First of all, the occurrence of this kind of thing is definitely a blow to the morale of Li Zicheng and his gang;
Secondly, if a fierce general like Li Guo is kept locked up and not used, it will definitely be a loss for Li Zicheng and the thieves.
Of course, there is another point. When Li Laiheng surrendered, he told him about his adoptive father Li Guo. At least Li Laiheng has proven himself that he is absolutely sincere in abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side.
In this way, if Li Guo faked his surrender, he would have deceived even Li Laiheng, which is even more impossible!
Although he was sure of this, Lan Tianbao still doubted this matter and thought it was too coincidental.
But he didn't say it out loud, he just followed Tian Jianxiu to greet Li Guo.
The people who escaped this time, except Li Guo, were from the fifth battalion of Ge Zuo.
Regarding the fact that Li Zicheng once again annexed the fifth battalion of Ge Zuo, the imperial officers and soldiers naturally heard about it from the bandits who abandoned the secret and turned to the bright side. On the surface, it is reasonable for them to go to great lengths to escape.
But the problem is that Lan Tianbao looked at this matter with suspicion. Therefore, when he heard He Baisui and others impassionedly stated that they must avenge He Yilong and others and stay in the army to serve, He was even stranger.
Why do they emphasize it so much?
I haven’t even said yet that I want to send them away!
There is no three hundred taels of silver here!
In essence, Lan Tianbao is actually a scholar and a person with a relatively sophisticated background. Compared with others, he is more careful.
He immediately felt that something was wrong with these people. Although Li Guo did not appear particularly happy, he felt normal. He Baisui and others were afraid that something was wrong.
When there was no news from the rear, Lan Tianbao decided to be cautious.
So, he immediately said with a smile: "On behalf of the imperial court, I very much welcome you to abandon the dark side and turn to the light! What's even more rare is that you actually escaped from Chongqing and rescued Uncle Liao Dong's adoptive father. I believe that after knowing this, Uncle Liao Dong will definitely Very happy. Duke Xingguo will definitely be very happy when he finds out."
At this point, Lan Tianbao turned to look at Li Guo again, and said with a smile: "The Duke has mentioned you many times. It is a pity that you did not act decisively like Li Laiheng. The Duke once said that if the imperial army If there is one more strong general like you, then the day of peace in the world will come sooner!"
Hearing this, Li Guo couldn't help but be very surprised.
If this was a common remark, he could understand it as an attempt to please Uncle Liao Dong, so he made up this remark to flatter him.
However, this was said by Jin Yiwei Baihu, who was on equal footing with Tian Jianxiu in the army, and even surpassed Tian Jianxiu. There is no need for such a person to please Uncle Liao Dong at all. If he said that, it must be true!
Therefore, after Li Guo heard this, he was unexpectedly moved. He really didn't expect that Duke Xingguo would think so highly of him!
So, he immediately clasped his hands in his fists and said, "The Duke is really flattering me, and Li Guo is too ashamed to deserve it. Li Guo is willing to go to Liaodong and kill the captives to serve the country!"
"Hahaha!" Lan Tianbao laughed immediately after hearing this, "If you suddenly appeared in front of Uncle Liao Dong, I guess he would be extremely happy!"
Upon hearing this, Li Guo thought of the scene he was talking about and couldn't help but smile warmly. He was looking forward to it too!
He Baisui and others listened to their conversation and smiled, but thought in their hearts that only fools went to Liaodong, those Jianlu were the strongest in the world!
Lan Tianbao stopped laughing, but still smiled and said to Li Guo: "If the Duke of Guo knows your thoughts, he will definitely be very happy. So, I will arrange for you to go to Chengdu to meet the Duke immediately, and I can also arrange for you as soon as possible. Go see Liao Dongbo!"
"Li Guo has admired Duke Xingguo for a long time and has long wanted to meet him!" When Li Guo heard this, he said with a look of yearning, "I didn't expect that the imperial court would have such a pillar of the country as Duke Xingguo. The world will definitely have peace." It’s not far!”
Lan Tianbao nodded after hearing this, then turned to He Baisui and others: "You guys should go to Chengdu too! You have made great contributions to rescuing Li Guo, and the Duke will definitely reward you!"
"..." Upon hearing this, He Baisui and others couldn't help being dumbfounded.
If we go to Chengdu, won't we be able to complete the errand given by the general? I'm afraid this meeting gift is too big and will delay things?
This kind of thing is actually not easy to refuse. After all, if a normal person encounters this kind of situation and has the opportunity to meet the Duke of Xingguo, that is something he would absolutely love!
He Baisui came back to his senses, turned to look at his accomplices, and still wanted to fight for it, so he pretended to be sad and angry, and said to Lan Tianbao: "Sir, I don't care about glory and wealth, but just want to avenge my elder brother, so let me Shall we stay and serve in the army?"
When his accomplices heard this, they suddenly woke up and pretended to be sad and angry, as if they were all loyal and courageous men.
Even Tian Jianxiu couldn't help but feel a little moved when he saw it.
However, Lan Tian remained suspicious. The more they were like this, the more suspicious he became. Of course, it was impossible to agree and leave unstable factors on the front line.
So, when he was waiting to continue talking, suddenly, a guard in golden clothes broke in from outside. He looked like he had traveled a long way.
