Huang Degong, who had just finished a battle, did not have the energy to beat him immediately. Instead, he went to find the real Taoist priest and the fake god to have a quiet chat. Then he ordered his troops to rest the siege, and he only led a dozen cavalry to go.
After Huang Degong returned from chasing the enemy, Li Muxian told the believers that we must not be enemies with the officers and soldiers, otherwise we would be rebelling. What we are rebelling against is the oppression of the rebel army, not the imperial court. Of course, we now have people who want to fight against the imperial court, and they cannot bully us casually...Now
If the officers and soldiers want to fight against the rebels, we will make way for them to fight. We will help whoever gives us benefits...
The believers thought it was reasonable and naturally agreed, so they made way for the officers and soldiers to besiege the city and retreated to the wilderness to the west of the city to rest. At this time, Li Muxian had thousands of people with swords and horses, and his waist became even harder.
"Chief Immortal, the officers and soldiers are here." The Guardian Army sent someone to report. Li Muxian knew that Huang Degong wanted to chat with him, so he pretended to lead several people from Chen Wangting to greet him, and then went to an open place to start a secret discussion.
"The unexpected power of the refugees can be used at this time, but we must not raise tigers to cause trouble, otherwise they will be different from the bandit army?" Huang Degong hit Li Muxian hard, and the wild Taoist nodded repeatedly: "It's just a show, and it can't be true, no matter how poor the Taoist is.
If you have the guts, you don’t dare to gather a crowd to rebel. At the moment, we are just borrowing power. We will disband as soon as this matter is over.”
Huang Degong sneered: "I'm afraid you won't be able to help yourself then."
"No way, Pindao has already thought of a countermeasure, so don't worry, Commander-in-Chief." Pindao relies on this mouth to travel around the world.
"Oh, tell me how you will disband this force when the time comes?" Huang Degong asked.
"This bunch of stupid people believe that Pindao is the reincarnation of an immortal. They will listen to whatever they say. Pindao will guide them in a subtle way. Once this battle is over, let them disperse and tell them to rest and return to their hometown to farm. Otherwise, they will gather a crowd to rebel and will be suppressed by the officials.
, causing the family to flee and lose their homes. Of course, dispersing without incident does not mean disbanding. When they encounter oppression again, they can gather together to hold a group and not be oppressed. The poor Taoist set up a monastery at the Luxian Temple in Huangliang, Handan, Guangping Prefecture to receive their incense...
"
Li Muxian was indeed a talker. After talking a lot, Huang Degong nodded: "I heard that you are from Lu Xian Temple in Guangping Mansion. If you want to set up a dojo there to recruit believers, it is really a good idea to keep the money from outsiders.
ah".
"Don't dare to forget your roots, don't dare to forget your roots." Li Muxian chuckled and then said: "What is Mr. Huang planning now? Is there any way to break the city?"
Huang Degong raised his head and glanced at Zhendingfu City in the distance: "How can this city be broken through with such high walls and thick walls? Moreover, the casualties caused by attacking the city will be too high to be worth the loss. We have to try other methods. If it doesn't work, we can surround the city without attacking, or go around the city and go north."
.
"What do you want me to do? Just give me your orders. The Lord Governor has already told me before he left that I want me to follow your lead." Li Muchian was extremely humble.
Huang Degong snorted: "Right now, it would be a great help to control those refugees so they don't cause trouble. As for retreating from the enemy, we have to rely on real swords and guns!"
Li Muxian nodded, and then said: "These refugees are not good at fighting, but they are good at building momentum. It would be better to wave the flag to boost the momentum. Why don't you use the poor to build a bigger momentum?"
Huang Degong smiled: "Well, if you have the ability to collect all the refugees in the house, that would be the best. I'm afraid you don't have the ability!"
"That's hard to say!" Li Muchian's eyes rolled around in a very cunning manner. The two of them whispered for a long time before Huang Degong left.
Li Muxian immediately summoned the Dharma Protector Army to convey instructions to the refugee believers, saying that he had reached an agreement with the officers and soldiers. As long as they did not rebel or help Zhou, they would not be able to suppress them. On the contrary, if they helped the officers and soldiers suppress the thieves, they would be rewarded.
The refugees actually knew that the so-called rebels they had attached to before were actually rebellions, which were a serious crime of beheading and annihilating the family. Now they have become a force of their own, and the officials have shown that they are not clear about suppressing them, and if they help, they will be rewarded. After hearing this, they
It's great joy.
What is the reward? After the thieves are defeated, all the stolen goods will be divided among the people!
The refugees were in high spirits and shouted for help! Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison. Ma Shiyao and Ren Jirong in the city were so shocked that their faces turned blue. How could these people be so crazy?
Li Muxian continued to guide his followers to assist the officers and soldiers in exterminating the bandits and after sharing the rewards, they should immediately disperse and return to their hometown to farm. In the end, the court would not allow their force to exist in such a big way, otherwise they would have to be wiped out, unlike the bandit army, taking advantage of the current chaotic situation.
The best way is to get more benefits and use them as capital to make a living in the future...
Huang Degong walked around the city and found out that Zhending Fucheng was really much bigger than Zhaozhou City, even Jizhou City was not as good as it. If you want to break the city in one fell swoop, you have to spend a lot of money to do it.
But he didn't want to fight! Because it didn't make much sense.
His purpose is to suppress the bandits, eliminate the effective strength of the bandit army and strategically encircle the bandit army rather than attack the city. Moreover, the main force of the bandit army is outside. If he loses his troops and defeats the city, he may be besieged again by the bandit army at any time, so he spends a lot of effort to win the battle.
The city was meaningless, but seeing Ma Shiyao hiding in the city and shouting made him angry and itchy.
The officers and soldiers below the city are still trying to persuade them to surrender, while Ma Shiyao and Ren Jirong above the city are turning a blind eye. Their thieves are shouting curses and making ridiculous jokes. If it weren't for the refugees causing trouble, I wouldn't be able to chew on you. How dare you besiege the city and fight back?
You are brazenly persuading you to surrender. Don’t you know whose territory this is and how many rebels there are in the north? At most, most of the reinforcements will arrive tomorrow morning and destroy you in one fell swoop.
Ma Shiyao's calculation was still wrong, and he did not wait until tomorrow morning. In the evening, Huang De's work was reported, and a large number of bandit troops of more than 10,000 people were found twenty miles northeast.
Huang Degong frowned: Li is here.
He had long ago reported that Li Guo and Luo Hu had led the elite troops south. These two troops were both tough opponents in the bandit army. Huang Degong had rich experience in fighting with bandit armies and knew how powerful they were. For example, Luo Hu's Zhenshan Camp only had three thousand soldiers.
There are more than a few, but the combat prowess is the best among the thieves. The officers and soldiers will be defeated when they encounter it.
The spies reported that Li Guo was camping twenty miles away to rest. Huang Degong guessed that he must have encountered the defeated Gu Kecheng. After learning about the situation here, he ordered him to rest and recuperate. Otherwise, there was no need to go to Zhending Mansion but he was in Er.
Set up camp ten miles away.
It seemed that there was going to be a tough battle. Huang Degong's face was solemn. The situation in front of him was not good. If he had broken the city before, he would not have been afraid of Li Guo. But there was Ma Shiyao in the city and Li Guo was watching eagerly. If these two people
Suddenly attacked from both inside and outside, I'm afraid...
Fortunately, who didn't have a helper? Huang Degong glanced at the densely packed heads of people in Zhengxi under the afterglow of the setting sun. He really felt a little fairy-like at this sight.
Furthermore, Li Guo was ordered to go south to fight against Chang Yu. Halfway through, he was informed that there was a riot among the refugees in Zhending Mansion, and he was frightened. However, he was at a loss as to how to deal with the civil turmoil, so he had to make plans while marching.
Seeing that he was about to reach his final moment, he suddenly saw defeated troops coming towards him. He was horrified. Could it be that the young eunuch had already sent his troops to the north? How could it happen so quickly? When he was about to send orders to prepare for war, he saw Gu Kecheng arriving in panic. The officers and soldiers were heading north to cross the river.
, arrived at the gate of Zhending City, tens of thousands of refugees gathered in great chaos and surrounded the city to cause trouble.
The matter is too difficult! Li Guo, Luo Hu, and Gu Kecheng are all gritting their teeth, but they don't know how to start.
When he learned that the commander-in-chief of the officers and soldiers, Nai Huang Degong, had more than 10,000 troops, he was as powerful as a rainbow. Li Guo raised his eyebrows and thought that this was just a trick of the young eunuch to confuse the enemy.
There is more than enough, so that group of troops must be hiding in the dark, waiting for action!
At this time, he didn't know that Gao Jie's troops had gone south to regain the lost territory. He was just trying to scare himself. (To be continued)
