His face, which has experienced weather and frost, is full of perseverance.
Gu Shubai should have been moved, but couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The general couldn't help being stunned, raised his head and looked at him in a daze, "Major General, you..."
Gu Shubai helplessly said: "Who told you to betray Dongling? I mean, the Beili army is here to help Dongling court. With these ten important towns as strongholds, they will sweep away the surrounding rebels step by step. Power. You and your 1,000 soldiers can stay in the city first, and it will not be too late for us to clear the power of the surrounding insurgents."
It turns out he meant this.
The general couldn't help but feel ashamed, "It's the end general who has saved the abdomen of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Please also ask the major general to forgive me!"
Gu Shubai said: "Okay, the garrison you led will be stationed in the west of the city. I have seen the landforms of Zhenjiang, and the place in the west of the city is suitable for stationing. As for the defense of the city, it is now to the Beili army, yes, I Don't know what your name is?"
He quickly clasped his fists, "I will fly late at the end."
Gu Shubai's first important task was to recover Linzhou, which was captured by the insurgents, as soon as possible. That was the city Ning Chengzhi had promised to allocate to Bei Li.
Lin Cheng was not far from Zhenjiang, so that night he sent Yan Zheng to take spies out to inquire about the news, and soon there was a result.
"General, something has happened!"
When Yan Zheng came back, he was in a hurry, with a gloomy expression, "Yin Shuo's man is frantic! After the rebels captured Linzhou, they have been robbing the people of silver food. After hearing that Emperor Ning assigned Linzhou to Beili, they were actually in the city. The people were burned and killed, saying that they would leave Bei Li an empty ghost town!"
"what?"
Because Chi Fei was a defender of Zhenjiang and was familiar with the surrounding terrain, Gu Shubai also asked him to discuss the military situation on the scene. Although they belong to the two countries now, the Beili army is here to support the Dongling court, and Chi Fei was once a member of the Gu family army, so he can naturally trust it.
Hearing Yan Zheng's words, Chi Fei couldn't hold his head. "They slaughtered the people of Dongling! This... This is really unreasonable! How are the people in the city now?"
Yan Zheng shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not good. It's a matter of time before we get rid of it. Sooner or later. General, what should we do?"
He looked at Gu Shubai, and all the generals in the account looked at Gu Shubai.
Gu Shubai said: "Naturally, we must regain Linzhou as soon as possible. They must not let them continue to slaughter the people like this, but one thing I find is very strange. Although Yin Shuo is indifferent and ruthless, he is not a tyrannical person. How could he allow his subordinates to do it? What happened?"
Chi Fei hesitated for a moment, and said: "I heard that the insurgents came all the way from the south, killing people and setting fire to their homes and robbing houses. The people did not have a living. It is not so much that the people who fled to Beili and Xikun were driven by exorbitant donations and heavy taxes. The insurgents forced it. They are the mobs and have no law to speak of. They kill their eyes and only care about happiness, no matter whether they are the enemy or the people in front of them?"
Gu Shubai nodded, "I understand. After all, Yin Shuo is a civil servant and has no experience in running the army. He probably knows that this is his shortcoming, so he simply indulges these soldiers to prevent them from developing rebellious hearts. Anyway, the people live and die. Yin Shuo didn't care at all, he only cares that these soldiers can take the country for him. If so, I have an idea."
"What idea?"
Gu Shubai beckoned and motioned to Yan Zheng to come over. Yan Zheng hurriedly tilted his upper body towards him, and couldn't help but smile after hearing his strategy.
"The general is a good idea! I'll do it now!"
The next morning, it was windy weather, and the river wind violently rushed in, causing people to shiver.
In Linzhou City, the soldiers of the insurrection army had just awakened, and they looked at each other tacitly, with evil smiles on their lips.
In the killing contest yesterday, some people cut off one hundred and twenty heads, while some were inferior, only a hundred.
They agreed to compare it again today. Whoever cuts off the most heads of people can enjoy the most beautiful girls they have robbed.
"It's really cold this day, it's time to go out and get warm."
A centurion-like man stretched his waist and shouted behind him: "Yesterday's knives are all rolled up. Give me a new one. Today I have to chop off one hundred and thirty heads!"
Outside the barracks, a man dressed in grey cloth drew away dexterously when he heard these words, and headed towards the densely populated village on the outskirts of the city.
"Fathers and villagers, listen to me!"
Another young man in common clothes stood on the high platform, knocking the gong in his hand, and greeted the villagers to come closer and listen to him. The villagers knew that the insurgents stationed in the city were massacring. They were anxious and did not dare to approach.
A short old man standing next to the commoner man waved to everyone, "Come here, folks, this is General Bei Li who has come to rescue us!"
That little old man is the most famous squire in the village, and the young man in commoner beside him is Yan Zheng.
"Bei Li's general?"
The people were skeptical, and looked at the face of the old squire, and said with a serious face: "You folks and elders are afraid that you know that the massacre in the city has been killed for several days, and now it is almost finished. We have heard the news, today. The rebel army is coming to the outskirts of the city."
"Huh? What can I do then?"
"Baby fucking, go back and run with your luggage!"
The people were terrified. Amidst the noise, Yan Zheng exclaimed, "Be quiet, listen to me!"
He was full of iron and blood, and his voice contained irresistible power. The people unconsciously lowered their voice and did not dare to talk any more.
Yan Zheng calmed down, "My fathers and villagers, this time His Majesty Dongling asked Bei Li for the support of the army. Don't worry, we will protect you from the slaughter. You must trust me and press me. I did what I said, I was also from Dongling, I was under the command of the Gu family army, and I would never leave my compatriots ignored!"
"Gu Jiajun?"
"It's Gu Jiajun!"
"It's actually the general of Gu Jiajun, we don't know Taishan!"
Upon hearing the three words of Gu Jiajun, the people's vigilant eyes suddenly filled with trust, and Yan Zheng couldn't help but feel sad. Gu Jiajun's designation had long since been withdrawn, but the people of Dongling were still full of respect when they mentioned these three words.
He smiled forcefully: "Since you folks are willing to believe me, then do as I say! Presumably everyone knows that the so-called insurgents are actually farmers, just like you! They were originally not able to pay heavy taxes and were forced to On this road, the more helpless to kill and without the guidance of a good leader, will they become as bloodthirsty as they are now! As long as you folks are willing to take up arms to resist, you will not lose to them!"
The people showed hesitation on their faces, and a mature man said boldly: "But they are so many and powerful, so how can we deal with it with the hundreds of people in our village?"
Yan Zheng laughed and said, "Don't worry, my people are lying in ambush in the mountains and forests. Bei Li was born a tall Kong Wu, and he is a well-trained soldier who can reach five of them. In a moment, my people will go to you first. Come on, if we can't fight, you can't escape!"
He said everything for this purpose, and the people are so embarrassed to let them take risks to save themselves, and they all expressed their willingness to go.
The man who spoke earlier said: "Hide the ball! Let's hide, don't we still have to chop our heads when the insurgents come over? Instead of hiding and being beheaded like pigs and dogs, it is better to rush and fight with them. We will earn one!"
"Yes! Kill one, we can't let the general sacrifice for us in vain!"
"Go! Let's go home and get our weapons!"
The villagers hurried to their homes in groups of three or five. Yan Zheng smiled to the old man beside him: "Old man, you should go back and hide, you'd better find a cellar or something and don’t come out. It's not good to touch."
"Hey, hey."
The old man glanced at him gratefully, "You must be careful and pay attention to safety!"
…
A detachment of the rebel army came to the outskirts of the city, with about a thousand people.
The cavalry rushed all the way, and with the loose array of infantry far behind, they took the lead to the village nearest to the city.
The people in the village are harvesting crops in the fields. They seem to be mature men who should be the main labor force in the family.
Hearing the sound of horseshoes, someone occasionally glanced at them, and didn't mean to flee in panic.
The head of thousands of households headed by the rebel army couldn't help but smile, "These idiots know how to farm, and they are still farming soon after their lives, hahaha!"
He laughed presumptuously, as if he had forgotten that he was a farmer.
"Come on, first go up and kill these idiots, and then go to the village to kill the old and weak women and children! As long as two hundred people follow, don't all go up and trample on the grain, we will take away the wheat in this field in a while! "
He greeted, half of the cavalry dismounted and slew with him towards the field, while the other half rode on horses to watch the excitement.
Yan Zheng was pretending to brandish a sickle in the ground. He raised his eyelids and saw that there were only two hundred people, and he smiled suddenly, "The general is right, these soldiers of the rebel army are so swollen, they slaughter the people like pigs and dogs! Let's stand! There are a hundred people on the bright side, so they can feel relieved and boldly kill them."
The man with a hoe dancing on the side leaned forward to him and smiled, "This guy really thinks he is a soldier because of the crowd. Let's let them see today, what is a real soldier!"
"kill!"
The insurgents were afraid that they would not be frightened and flee. They shouted to kill each other one acre away. They thought that the people who planted the land would be scared to run around, but they just stood still.
All face them, look at them.
The head of the thousands of households couldn't help but stunned, and vaguely saw in the eyes of those "people"... pity.
mercy
How can this be
Before he could react, Yan Zheng used a sickle with his eyes and hands quickly, cutting his throat and splashing an arc of blood in the air.
The soldiers following the head of the thousand households hadn't reacted yet, and just watched their leader fall to the ground.
"kill!"
This sound was even more imposing, and it was Yan Zheng's call.
For a while, everyone drew out the sword hidden in the wheat field, and immediately killed the soldiers of the rebel army cleanly, raising the sword quickly and accurately.
Those soldiers who were riding on the horses were not looking good, and immediately rushed to support them.
Just after those people entered the wheat fields, they saw the long-ambush soldiers of Bei Li jump out of the hills and valleys, and everyone jumped out to move their muscles and bones.
One of the tall soldiers couldn't help shouting at Yan Zheng, "General Yan, you are too unfair. Knowing that we are tall, let us hide in the grain pile!"
Yan Zheng kicked the two people in front of him and smiled at him: "I just want you to hide because you know that you are tall, otherwise they will see through the big people in the field?"
Gu Shubai said that it is necessary to pretend to be a common people to make the enemy underestimate the enemy, which is really true.
Seeing that the number of people overwhelmed the other party, I didn't want to run out of the ambush in the valley, listening to their conversation, these people were not ordinary people at all, but well-trained soldiers.
The insurgents couldn't help but flee, throwing their helmets and armor, and fled, looking back for the infantry they hadn't followed.
"Where to run? Folks, rush!"
The people rushed out of the village with hoes, axes, sickles and other objects. People with Yan Zheng demonstrated in front, and their fear of the rebel soldiers has been completely eliminated.
All the way through victory and pursuit until they met the infantry in the rear, under the leadership of Yan Zheng, they and the people still had the advantage.
As he was fighting, Yan Zheng waved to the person behind him, "Go!"
"Hey!"
The little soldier kicked the insurgent soldier who was blocking the way in front of him, and led his horse towards the village behind him, until he ran to another nearby village.
"The uprising army killed people. The people in Xiaotian Village have resisted, and they have taken many horses!"
He yelled at the entrance of the village, and the people in the village cautiously came out of their homes, "Don't lie! There are only a few hundred people in Xiaotian Village, and there are at most a hundred young men. Where can you resist?"
"You do not believe?"
The little soldier patted his horse cryingly, "Look, this is what I grabbed! I ran to tell you, if you want to grab the horse, hurry up, you won't be able to grab it later! Then there will be a new uprising. When the army comes, you just wait to be beheaded!"
Speaking to get on the horse and shoot, continue to the next village to inform.
The people in the village thought about it, and a leading man said: "Don't grab the white, don't grab! Let's go and see, if we can fight, we will fight, if we can't fight, we will run!"
"Well, it's better to go and see than to wait for death here, let's go!"
The people packed up their usable utensils and rushed towards Xiaotian Village. At the same time, the thousand insurgents who knew they were invincible also sent people back to the city to inform.
The city continued to send in support, and the people from the outskirts of the city continued to come to support.
The battlefield between the two sides grew bigger and bigger, and more and more people joined. In the end, almost all the young and middle-aged people in Linzhou who were lucky enough to join it.
The grievances of being slaughtered were condensed in the hearts of the people. All they lacked was a leader who dared to be the first. Gu Shubai had a vision to let Yan Zheng act as the leader.
Both sides are farmers without formal training. The soldiers of the insurrection army are slightly more experienced at best, but the common people have hundreds of elite soldiers led by Yan Zheng to help.
Without a daylight scene, blood flows into a river on the outskirts of the city.
The main force of the uprising army was defeated, and the remaining defeated army took the initiative to surrender. Yan Zheng led the people to control Linzhou and opened the gate to welcome Beili's army into the city.
With a few hundred elite soldiers seizing an important town, Gu Shubai's brilliant record added another piece, and the hearts of the people in the Northern Li Dynasty were excited.
The people in several cities including Zhenjiang and Linzhou were even more supportive, and Chi Fei admired them all. "The major general is more courageous than before, and the general will look at you, always feeling like seeing the general."
Gu Shubai didn't think he was so great, he smiled faintly, "After all, there are still some unsatisfactory things. After all, the people of Linzhou have suffered heavy casualties. I can only order people to bury them well, and then give their families compensation. After all, they have risen to resist, so we can retake Linzhou so easily."
Chi Fei was born in Gu Jiajun, and he knew exactly what was sad in Gu Shubai's heart. The generals of Gu Jiajun have always been sympathetic to soldiers and people.
The soldiers of Gu's army have never bullied the weak and the younger generations, and now the Beili army under the command of Gu Shubai does the same.
He said: "The major general does not need to blame himself. If you directly send a large army to attack Linzhou, although you can also defeat it, the casualties will be even more serious. Once the two armies stalemate between the city and the city, the people in the city will be slaughtered and we can't control it. The major general’s strategy is the best. Use their atrocities to make the soldiers pretend to be the people, and then lead the people to revolt. It’s a pity that there are not too many soldiers who sneak into Linzhou, otherwise they will expose their whereabouts, otherwise the casualties of the people will be exposed. Less."
In any case, this is the best result.
Gu Shubai breathed a sigh of relief, "Yin Shuo is not here. The first thing now is to find out where the main force of the rebel army is, and where is Yin Shuo himself?"

The temper is still uncertain. He is despicable and shameless, and even robs his courtier's wife!
After ascending to the throne, he was negligent in government affairs. Don't see, don't approve, don't ask, don't talk. Stay in the Fengyi Palace day and night, indulging in the queen's beauty and unable to extricate herself from it!
