Li Guo continued:

"Besides, we will always rush out some people. As long as the banner of 'chuang' does not fall, there will be a day to regain our strength. Death is not a pity!"

Liu Zongmin suddenly said loudly:

"Bu Zhi is right. My suggestion is to simply attack the army at night and carve a bloody path out!"

Li Zixiang discussed matters as usual. He was not in a hurry to express his opinions, but just listened to what everyone said first.

Since a day of fierce fighting yielded no results and the loss of troops and generals, most of the soldiers no longer wanted to go to Sichuan.

Instead, they suggested rushing to the Shangluo Mountains. If that didn't work, they rushed to the Hanzhong area.

The people who put forward this idea not only thought that the people in Shangluo Mountain were familiar with the area, but also believed that He Renlong's troops were in the northeast corner and could easily open a bloody path.

However, some people advocated fighting out from the southeast corner and then turning to the southwest. It was Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu who proposed this idea.

They believed that Zu Dabi had been killed in the battle this morning and was completely disgraced.

Except for Gao Jie who was injured, He Renlong's team was basically unscathed.

Neither of the two factions insisted on their own opinions, and both had to be decided by King Chuang.

Under the current circumstances, there is no truly safe strategy and no one dares to force it.

Almost no one mentioned the Qin soldiers, the Tianxiong army and the Baigan soldiers. Obviously no one wanted to fight those three armies.

Return to the southeast and rush to Shangluo Mountain. Gao Yigong originally proposed it yesterday, but no one listened.

I don’t even mention continuing to break through to the southwest and entering northern Sichuan. I obviously think it is best for Gao Yigong to start making suggestions.

However, given the current situation, Li Zicheng could not help but secretly regret that he seriously underestimated the strength of the army and adopted a wrong strategy.

But what pleased him was the attitude of his subordinates. After such a disastrous defeat, no one said a word of complaint.

When Liu Zongmin saw that everyone had expressed their opinions, King Chuang still lowered his head and remained silent, so he reminded him:

"King Chuang, it's getting late. It's time to make a decision. Where do you think the best way to break out is?"

Li Zicheng raised his head and looked at his generals, smiled slightly and said:

"What the brothers said is right. We can only fight our way out from the positions of He Renlong and Zuo Guangxian. There is no other way.

But Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting are not idiots, they will think of everything we can think of.

I think they must have expected that we would choose to fight all the way from the southeast or northeast, and had deployed heavy troops in advance to wait for us."

Having said this, he paused and continued to think about it in his mind.

Everyone thought his words made sense and felt a little heavy in their hearts.

Li Zicheng thought that the best way was to divide his troops into two groups to break out of the encirclement so that the enemy would not be able to pursue them exclusively.

But seeing that there were not many elite troops at present, he was afraid that the troops would be weaker if divided into two groups. While he was hesitant, He Jinlong hurriedly came to report:

"Reporting to King Chuang, I went to inspect the enemy's situation and saw that the enemies in the southwest and southeast were very busy mobilizing, as if there was some conspiracy."

Li Zicheng nodded, but said nothing for a while.

Liu Zongmin snorted coldly:

"It's just as King Chuang expected! But even so, we have to fight our way out from the southeast.

It is better to break out immediately while they are mobilizing and have not yet established a firm foothold. King Chuang sends an order to kill them out immediately."

Hao Yaoqi said immediately:

"Jixuan is right, we need to rush out before they gain a firm foothold. We decided to go southeast to Nanyuan..."

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly a voice came.

Everyone hurriedly looked around and found that it was his wife Gao Guiying walking quickly.

"Tonight's breakout is unusual. We all break out from one place regardless of whether we are elite or old or weak. If we can't break out, don't we lose everything? King Chuang and everyone please think again!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Zongmin looks at Gao Guiying:

"Although it is best to break out by splitting routes, we have few soldiers and our lineup will be even weaker after splitting up our troops. I wonder what your advice is, madam?"

Gao Guiying said without hesitation:

“Although there are few people, we must divide into two groups and we cannot put all our eggs in one basket.

The first team was mainly composed of Yi Gong's Chinese army, plus Mingyuan's rear army, and there were more than 2,000 elite soldiers, as well as child soldiers and guards from the old camp.

There were about 3,000 people who could fight, and the Baolao camp's family members first fought their way to the southeast.

The officers and soldiers must have thought that King Chuang had broken out of the encirclement, so they all came to chase him. Then the second team set off and rushed out to the southwest.

The second team consisted of the front army, the left army, the right army and King Chuang's Biao camp. They were all elite soldiers, with about five thousand people.

The ancients said that if one person fights tooth and nail, ten thousand people are invincible, not to mention that you are all leading elite soldiers and light cavalry, and without any hindrance, you will definitely be able to break through successfully."

Everyone admired Gao Guiying more and more. She was calmer than Li Zicheng at critical moments.

Li Guo asked hurriedly:

"Auntie, if that's the case, which team do you plan to join?"

"Of course I'm with Yigong. I've always been with my family and children, and this time is no exception!"

Li Guo shook his head repeatedly:

"No, absolutely not. My aunt is a person for whom the government and army are offering a heavy reward. If she falls into the hands of the enemy..."

Liu Zongmin also shook his head:

"Forget it, we must not divide our troops, it is too dangerous..."

Gao Guiying is very stubborn:

"We must divide into two groups! There is no guarantee in fighting, but the most important thing now is that you ensure King Chuang gets out safely.

As long as King Chuang is here, this banner will never fall. Even if the entire army is annihilated, there is still hope of regaining its strength.

Only by dividing into two teams, one to confuse the officers and soldiers, and the other to not drag you down, can you be sure to carve out a bloody path.

In order to confuse the officers and soldiers, the banner followed me and led the officers and soldiers to the road where I broke out..."

Li Guo firmly opposed:

"No, I don't agree. This is equivalent to sending my aunt into the tiger's mouth!"

Gao Guiying's pretty face sank and she said:

"As long as the soldiers work together and fight the enemy bravely, they will always break out of the enemy's territory.

In case we fail to break out, as long as King Chuang is here, it will not be difficult to revive the cause of the uprising.

Of the many rebels left behind by King Gao Chuang, we are the only ones left.

It would not be a pity to give up ten of my lives, as long as I can save King Chuang and break through successfully!"

The generals looked at each other silently, and no one spoke. They all felt that the lady's opinion was very reasonable.

But I am also very worried that my wife and the family members of the old camp will not be able to escape. What if they fall into the hands of the officers and soldiers?

Hao Yaoqi suddenly stood up and said loudly:

"The first team must not only protect the old and weak, but also lure the officers and soldiers. They must not be led by my sister-in-law!

I, Hao Yaoqi, have shouldered this burden. I will protect King Chuang and his sister-in-law together with Mingyuan, and assign a few more generals to me.

I used the banner of breaking into the king to protect the old and the weak. I killed it from the southeast first and successfully kept it.

If you can’t be killed, I will hold back the officers and soldiers so that the turtle sons can’t chase you, and I will make them bleed into rivers!”

Before Hao Yaoqi finished speaking, Li Guo, Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi and others all stood up to ask for a fight.

Gao Guiying was a little annoyed when she saw this, and she said decisively:

"Hurry up, it won't be too late, don't argue anymore, as long as King Chuang and you can break out, we can call on the rebel army, take revenge, and save the people of Li.

Waving the flag should still follow King Chuang all the way. As long as I have merit and Mingyuan and others follow me, we will definitely be able to clear a bloody path."

When several generals were arguing, Li Zicheng had already thought about it and thought it would be more appropriate to adopt his wife's method of dividing the troops.

Before Gao Guiying finished speaking, Li Zicheng said immediately:

"I have thought about it and decided to divide into two groups. Everyone will obey the order!"

All the generals stood up together to listen to King Chuang's order.

Li Zicheng ordered the first team to be led by Gao Guiying, Liu Fangliang opened the way, and Gao Yigong was in the middle, leading the Chinese army and the remaining infantry soldiers to protect the old camp.

Yuan Zongdi detached himself from the front army and led 1,000 stronger soldiers to break up the rear.

After fighting their way out of the southeast corner, they moved to Shangluo Mountain to meet up with the second team.

The second team was commanded by him and Liu Zongmin from the center, with Li Guo and Hao Yaoqi leading the way. After Tian Jianxiu broke off, they fought out from the southwest corner and moved to Shangluo Mountain.

As for the banner with the word "Chuang", you don't need to fight it when you break out. Roll it up and follow me. There is no need to fight about this matter. We will break out tonight.
