After Wang Guangen attached himself to Gao Doushu's command, he expanded his troops in Yunyang many times. Many of the thousands of soldiers and horses in Guanying were Yunyang locals. When they saw the extremely excessive behavior of Prime Minister Hui Deng, they
Everyone was extremely angry and immediately got into a fight with the officers and soldiers from the mixed camp who were robbing everyone.
What shocked Gao Doushu was not that the military discipline of the mixed camp was so poor. What surprised him was that the mixed camp and the Guan camp were fighting in Yunyang City. Who was responsible for the city defense?
What's more, the two sides are fighting and fighting blood feud. How can they work together to resist the intruder's attack in the future?
"A thief will be a thief!"
Gao Doushu looked at the streets and houses that were in chaos caused by the soldiers from the mixed camp and the closed camp. He was very angry. He always believed that these traitors who surrendered to the imperial court were still people who needed to be vigilant and guarded against.
Now it seems that it is really as expected!
Originally, among the six counties of Yunyang Prefecture, in addition to Shangjin and Yunxi counties, the four counties of Zhuxi, Zhushan, Fangxian and Baokang had been lost to the Chuang army. Yunyang's food and supplies had already reached a very dangerous critical point.
Above, now Prime Minister Hui Deng has come to do this again for Gao Doushu, plundering the city, demolishing and burning houses everywhere, this is like becoming Li Laiheng's undercover!
"Where's Xu Yong? Where's Xu Yong? Bring the troops from Xiguan to suppress it! And Li Maochun, he is a serious military attache and very reliable. Bring Li Maochun quickly. We can't let Wang Guangen and Prime Minister Hui Deng ruin things like this.
.”
Finally, Gao Doushu was not completely angry. There was already very little food in the city, and many citizens looked hungry. Moreover, for the sake of city defense, he could not allow Wang Guangen and Hui Dengxiang to continue fighting like this.
Xu Yong and Li Maochun are both generals whom Gao Doushu trusts. They are both serious military attachés of the imperial court. They are different from recruited thief bastards like Wang Guangen and Hui Dengxiang. In Gao Doushu's opinion, they are trustworthy and reliable.
force.
Unfortunately, visits often come hand in hand. Xu Qiyuan's Fubiao soldiers soon delivered news that made Gao Doushu dizzy. It turned out that Li Maochun took advantage of the opportunity of Hui Deng and Wang Guangen to fight and suddenly led his troops to rob the grain depot.
Then he suddenly attacked Xu Yong who was stationed in Xiguan, broke out of the pass, and fled towards Hanzhong.
"puff!"
Gao Doushu's energy and blood surged, his head went blank, and his eyes were filled with darkness. He covered his chest with his hands, feeling sad that he had planned in every possible way and spent all his energy to maintain Yunyang's defense. He
Are his efforts and painstaking achievements so insignificant in the eyes of these people?
Gao Doushu finally couldn't restrain himself and vomited out a mouthful of blood, then shook twice and fell against the old servant's wall.
"Damn Li Maochun! You come from a decent background, how come you behave like a thief and a bastard?"
In fact, Li Maochun is not a timid person. After all, he has been guarding Yunyang City for such a long time and has paid a considerable price. But in his view, Yunyang is a small town, and all the prefectures in northern Huguang
The mansion was taken over by Li Laiheng and Zhang Xianzhong, so what's the point of continuing to defend Yunyang?
It's just setting yourself up for death.
His idea was from the perspective of the survival of his own troops, and Gao Doushu insisted on holding Yunyang in the hope of containing more invading troops, hoping to help Sun Chuanting from the flanks, and also in the hope of protecting Yunyang in his eyes.
The people are the local gentry who "represent" the people of Yunyang.
In Li Maochun's view, Gao Doushu's idea was not only unhelpful to the overall situation, but also looked like a crazy gambler who was red-eyed about losing. But in Gao Doushu's view, Li Maochun took advantage of the chaos in the city to rob food and leave.
He is a living bastard of thieves.
It's just that the development of things often goes beyond people's expectations. Li Maochun's robbery of grain stocks miraculously prevented the fight between Wang Guangen and Prime Minister Hui Deng.
When both the Guanying and Mixed Camps learned about Li Maochun's escape, their confidence in continuing to defend Yunyang City also hit rock bottom.
What's worse is that the food is gone. What should we do next?
Even if we continue to rob the people of their food rations like Prime Minister Hui Teng did, I'm afraid the quantity will not help!
Wang Guangen, the loach, was even more severely hit. He only used to let other people's pigeons go free, how could he be freed by others?
What Li Maochun did this time really replicated the scene where Wang Guangen abandoned Li Laiheng and ran away alone in Yiling two years ago!
Wang Guangen had a close friendship with Gao Doushu. Since he withdrew to Yunyang, he had obeyed Gao Doushu's arrangements in everything. Therefore, he received the most pay. During the successive defenses of Yunyang, he continued to strengthen his strength, and now he has become
He defeated the most powerful faction in Yunyang City.
After Hua Guansuo was unwilling to succumb to others in terms of transfer, he used this period of time to establish an emotional relationship with Gao Doushu, and used Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and other famous Tang Dynasty ZTE generals to persuade Gao Doushu to quickly surrender.
Evacuate Yunyang City and "transfer" to Hanzhong together.
Wang Guangen has been with Gao Doushu for such a long time and has read many books. Many examples such as Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi can be cited casually. Moreover, he was famous for his eloquence when he was in the peasant army. Now he strongly persuades
The remonstrance almost made Gao Doushu shaken.
But Xu Qiyuan, who is now the governor of Yunyang, is in a panic. Everyone else can leave, but he has the responsibility to defend the territory and cannot leave Huguang at will.
What's more, Xu Qiyuan was also deeply influenced by Gao Doushu and was a militant. He said: "If you take the way of life, you may not die; if you stick to the way of death, you may not die. If after leaving the city, he is killed by a trespasser halfway,
Or make the army collapse in the road and be captured by thieves. This will still lead to death, and the humiliation will be even worse! It is better to defend the city and die. Everyone is determined to follow Mr. Gao and die in the city. They will be proud of it, or they may have a chance of survival.
.”
Xu Qiyuan spoke very impassionedly. Gao Doushu was greatly moved after hearing this, and immediately said to Xu Qiyuan: "I will die today, and he will be included in the Biography of Loyalty and Righteousness next year. If you are not afraid of death, you will definitely be included in the biography."
Xu Qiyuan then leaned into Gao Doushu's ear and whispered: "Wang Guangen and others have long planned to take their family members out of the city and escape for their lives for their own safety. Now that we have made this controversial proposal, if there is any dispatch from the court, I will put you first."
Actions are words, and all the blame is placed on our civil servants, and we are betraying our own power. We must not ignore it."
Xu Qiyuan's words vividly portrayed the psychology of Wang Guangen and others who advocated "transfer", and this will definitely be the case in the future. Gao Doushu thought why he would help them escape just to survive for a few days and ruin his own reputation? At that time, he made up his mind
, prepare to die as a martyr.
But the current situation in Yunyang cannot be controlled by Gao Doushu alone. Wang Guangen, who holds the military power, has many subordinates in Guanying because they are from Yunyang, and he has been attracted by Gao Doushu and has installed many cronies.
obedient.
But Prime Minister Hui Deng, who had just been defeated and returned to Yunyang, launched a large-scale plunder that led to the current predicament, he completely ignored the words of Gao Doushu and Xu Qiyuan.
Although the obstruction by the officers and soldiers of the Guanying camp forced the chaotic soldiers to restrain themselves, when Prime Minister Hui Deng also learned the news that Li Maochun had robbed food and left, his face immediately became extremely ugly, turning from pale to livid.
, and turned from livid to annoyed and angry.
Prime Minister Hui Deng and Wang Guangen have similar ideas. They both want to make one last profit in Yunyang City, and then break out quickly when the time is right. In this way, they can make a profit themselves, and the court cannot blame them and escape.
After Hanzhong, you may be able to continue to get promoted and make a fortune.
I just didn't expect that these two living loaches, Huantianxing and Huaguansuo, would miss me at the same time today, giving Li Maochun, who had little experience in transfer, a head start.
This is really embarrassing, and you deserve to be fooled.
The summer rain was getting heavier and heavier. Prime Minister Hui Deng thought that the mountain road was rugged and muddy. Li Maochun chose this time to escape, which really surprised everyone and made everyone unprepared. He actually allowed him to rob the grain depot so easily.
escape.
In this weather... maybe even Chuangjun can't stop Li Maochun?
The more Prime Minister Hui Deng thought about it, the angrier he became. He decided not to wait any longer. Anyway, after the wave of plunder just now, although the Guan camp counterattacked, another batch of food and supplies was taken back. But at this time, the mixed camp still had the same amount of food and supplies.
With some food, they can support their escape into the mountains of Yunxi.
"Decide immediately! Decide immediately!"
Unlike Wang Guangen, Prime Minister Hui Deng basically had no friendship with Gao Doushu. More importantly, his soldiers and horses had nothing to do with Gao Doushu. Instead, they had a bad relationship with the people of Yunyang because of their large-scale plunder. Therefore, Prime Minister Hui Deng
Once he made up his mind, he immediately organized troops and horses to break through the Xiguan gate and escape without waiting.
Suddenly, the sound of fighting broke out in Yunyang City. Even Wang Guangen, who had known Huiden for many years, did not expect that his old friend would be so decisive!
He had just fled back to Yunyang from Zhushan County after being defeated. It was really impressive that he was trying to escape again after such a wave of robbery.
Gao Doushu looked at the mixed troops and horses rushing towards Xiguan City Gate, and shouted to Wang Guangen at the top of his lungs: "Stop him! Stop him! Prime Minister Hui Deng can leave, but his soldiers and horses must stay!"
Wang Guangen could only reply with a wry smile: "With the general situation being like this, what can we do? Master Gao, we can only leave! Back then, Li Zicheng was able to stop his horse and merchants in the mountains and wait for an opportunity to rise again. Can't we learn from him today?"
Li? Alas, who could have thought that in just two years, the world would be reversed like this? Li Laiheng, Li Laiheng, you only led 500 people in Yiling two years ago, but today you have become a prince, Shi Ye Ming
