393 Riding alone into the city (for T, 11048/11)
Tian Jianxiu was very surprised, even shocked by Li Guo's arrival.
Originally, he thought that Li Guo must have gone to find Li Laiheng, instead of staying in Shu to fight against Li Zicheng. After all, no matter what, he was Li Zicheng's nephew. And before that, he did not run away like Li Laiheng, but tried to dissuade Li Zicheng.
Therefore, when Tian Jianxiu understood Li Guo’s intention, he really didn’t know what magic Duke Xingguo used to make Li Guo stand on the front line against Li Zicheng.
Tatsumi was naturally very happy about this.
After all, before, he claimed to be the biggest traitor under Li Zicheng. To be honest, he was under a lot of pressure.
But now that Li is here, it's not his turn to do this hat. With Li Guo standing in front of him, he feels much more relaxed.
Li Guo himself had no feelings about this, but he was concerned about the war in front of him and asked about the situation directly.
When Tian Jianxiu heard this, he immediately introduced to him: "They were all hiding in the Miliang Pass and not going to fight. Before that, it was still Liu Zongmin, but ten days ago, the banner had changed. It should be Yuan Zongdi, and he did not see Liu Zongmin again!"
The Miliang Pass is the last barrier in the west of Chongqing, and it was previously stationed by Liu Zongmin.
Li Guo frowned and thought, and according to his understanding of Li Zicheng, he asserted: "It may be that they are going to withdraw from Chongqing!"
"Well, I think so too." Tian Jianxiu was also familiar with Li Zicheng, and immediately nodded and agreed, "I have already reported the situation to Chengdu and let the Duke decide. However, before the Duke replied, it is difficult to change the Duke's arrangements and attack the Miliang Pass at any cost? Go and attack Chongqing!"
For a long time, the Duke of the State has always taken care of the lives of all the soldiers and was not ruthless. In order to achieve his goal, he would not care about death or injury. He would often win by minimizing death or injury.
This can also be seen from what Li Guo saw and heard in Chengdu.
Therefore, after hearing this, after pondering for a moment, the plain noodles said worriedly: "If Li Zicheng escaped from Chongqing and escaped from Shu, if he wanted to make the world peaceful, he would not know how much time would it take. And it is very likely that he would razed Chongqing and other places to the ground? Increase the burden on the court and drag the court's pursuit."
While speaking, there was no "uncle" again, and he called him the name!
Hearing this, the military inspector Lan Tianbao said, "He can't escape? Whether it's the exit of the Yangtze River or the Shu Road to Shaanxi, he has already been guarded!"
"Where are you going to Yunnan and Guizhou?" Li Guo heard this and thought for a moment. He immediately said, "Then Li Zicheng must be going to Yunnan and Guizhou!"
Of course, Lan Tianbao would not say that Duke Xingguo wanted to rush Li Zicheng to Yunnan and Guizhou places? It would be easy to deal with the chieftains there. This method of driving away the wolf and swallowing tigers is not easy to say. After all, before the chieftains rebelled, they were nominally part of the local officials of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Li Guo said something and immediately emphasized: "If you don't say anything else, just plundering all the population in Chongqing and other places, moving away all the materials that can be moved, it will cause the families of countless people to be destroyed. When the Duke replied, it will be too late to stop them!"
Taking over the local people and snatching away all supplies was the first method of the thief. Li Zicheng was definitely very skillful when he made this.
When Lan Tianbao heard this, he frowned and said, "What do you think you should do?"
"I'll go and convince Yuan Zongdi to open and accept the court's revenge!" Li had an idea and immediately replied.
After hearing this, Lan Tianbao shook his head and said, "His family must be in Chongqing, and it is impossible for him to accept the court's revenge!"
However, after hearing this, Tian Jianxiu interrupted and said, "Maybe you can try it, what if it succeeds?"
He went to persuade Yuan Zongdi, which was definitely useless, and it had proved it before. However, Li Guo's status in Li Zicheng's army has always been quite special and he is considered a relatively high prestige.
In the original history, after Li Zicheng was defeated, it was Li Guo who commanded the remnants of Li Zicheng and finally agreed to Du Yinxi's single cavalry to persuade him to recruit the Ming army to fight against the Qing Dynasty who entered the pass.
At this time, Lan Tianbao heard this and remembered that Li Guo was under the military order of the Duke of the State, so he did not dissuade him and nodded immediately, "Be careful!"
It can be said that Li used to persuade Yuan Zongdi to surrender, which was definitely a huge risk.
When Li Guo heard this, he just smiled faintly and said nothing.
At this time, it was already late. When the next morning, Li Guo rode out of the camp alone, came to Miliang Pass, and shouted loudly to the thieves on the top of the city: "I am Li Guo, and I want to see Yuan Zongdi."
Originally, he could have called Yuan Zongdi outside the range of the city defense. In this way, the safety would be much higher. At that time, Tian Jianxiu wanted to persuade Yuan Zongdi to surrender, so that was what he did.
However, Li Guo believed that the intensity of persuading surrender would be much lower than that of such a cry. Therefore, he decided to persuade him in person and would be more confident.
Tian Jianxiu, Lan Tianbao and others advised him, but Li Guo didn't listen and insisted, and no one else could do anything about it.
Yuan Zongdi was resting in the arrow tower on the top of the city. When he heard the movement, he was really Li Guo and was stunned.
Why is he still here and not going to find Li Laiheng?
No, why did he come to see him? He is just falling into the trap and doesn’t want to find Li Laiheng?
Or, after he went to the court, he found that it was different from what he imagined, so he wanted to come back?
For a moment, Yuan Zongdi thought a lot. He even thought about the person who was calling outside the pass, would the court find someone to pretend to be trying to assassinate him?
Finally, Yuan Zongdi came out of the Arrow Tower and approached the battlements to see it. Sure enough, he saw that the person shouting under the city was indeed Li Guo. He was alone, without a weapon, and was under the city.
However, he was still very cautious. He did not open the door with a shutter, so he asked someone to find a hanging basket and hung Li Guo onto the top of the city.
Seeing Li Guo get off the hanging basket, Yuan Zongdi holds the hilt in his hand and says with a serious expression: "Li Guo, why are you back? Are you going to admit your mistake to the general?"
Li Guo casually patted the wrinkled corner of his clothes, looked at Yuan Zongdi, and answered dysfunctional questions: "I have visited many places in Chengdu, gained knowledge, and understood why the imperial government army is so powerful, and why we have been facing the leader of Duke Xingguo, and we have no power to fight back!"
When Yuan Zongdi heard this, he became curious and even forgot his thoughts that were very cautious just now. He quickly asked curiously: "Why?"
There were Yuan Zongdi's personal guards next to him, and they immediately started to listen with their ears.
Li Guo looked at them and did not avoid him, so he began to tell everything he saw in Chengdu.
The scenes that once shocked him now tell the story in a leisurely manner. Li Guo could find that both Yuan Zongdi and other brothers also showed a very shocking look.
If someone else said this, they would subconsciously think that this is fake and it cannot be true!
However, these words were all said by Li Guo. With Li Guo’s prestige, they did not have this subconscious and skeptical awareness, and accepted that these were true from the beginning.
To be honest, others really don’t have the ability to do this, including Ta Mixiu.
Li Guo narrated slowly, and before he knew it, the surrounding thieves came closer and listened to Li Guo’s explanation of what he saw in Chengdu.
In the distance, Tian Jianxiu and Lan Tianbao were both watching with telescopes.
To be honest, they actually didn't believe it. Just Li went over and talked, which would lead Yuan Zongdi to surrender. They were even a little worried that once Li Guo went over, he would be taken down by Yuan Zongdi, and then sent to Chongqing and handed over to Li Zicheng for despair.
However, the scene seen on the telescope still made them feel a little relieved. At least from the moment, Li Guo seems to have the initiative.
At this time, they remembered why Li Guo asked the imperial army not to send troops to escort him, and he rode alone.
If there were court officials outside the city, even if they were far away, as long as they could see it, the thieves on the city would definitely be vigilant, and they would definitely not see what they saw in front of them. Those thieves surrounded and listened to Li Guo’s speech.
"You said, can Li Guo succeed?" Seeing this, Lan Tianbao was still unsure of his thoughts even though he had done too much ideological work, so he asked Tian Jianxiu.
After hearing this, Tian Jianxiu put down his telescope, turned to look at Lan Tianbao, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Although I thought Li Guo could not succeed before, it is hard to say now, let's watch it!"
After hearing this, Lan Tianbao nodded, picked up the telescope again, staring at the movements on the city, and the same was true for Tian Jianxiu!
On the top of the city, Li Guo talked for a long time before he roughly told what he saw and heard in Chengdu and outside the city.
When he was taking a breath, the onlookers couldn't help but ask, "General, do you really have a female soldier who will take good care of the injured brother?"
The words were full of envy. Those with a little experience knew that this was a single dog!
When Yuan Zongdi heard this, he turned around and saw it, and was shocked. Before he knew it, he had surrounded so many people.
So he immediately shouted loudly: "What are you all doing around you? Watch the big show! It's gone, it's gone, be wary, and let it go!"
After hearing what he called, his personal guards naturally helped to shout and drive people away.
So the thieves who surrounded him left helplessly and reluctantly.
While dispersing, they were also whispering.
"I really want to watch the big show, just watch those female soldiers performing it. The general said just now, and the scene was full of cheers, it must be very good!"
"Do you mean that people are good-looking or perform well? I want to say, you are greedy!"
"Haha, they are receiving the same military pay as the cavalry. If you want to marry such a person, who is in charge of the family?"
