【Chapter 458】The Ming soldiers who were "surrendered".

Last time, he suffered a big loss in the hands of Xu Xingxia for no reason, and of course Mo Yuegen refused to give up. As the arrow god of the Tatars, if he can't kill Xu Xingxia quickly, it will have a great impact on his reputation. If his reputation is fatally hit, his influence will quickly fade. This time, he concentrated all his strength to find Xu Xingxia's bad luck. 30,000 Tatar cavalry, that's a lot of power.

However, Mo Yuegen felt that the 30,000 Tatar cavalry under his command was not enough. He also needs more strength. This power, Gansu Town is only a part, there should also be power from other places. Specifically, it is Lin Dan Khan and the Ming Dynasty. Lin Dan Khan and Xu Xingxia have a feud, that's for sure. The Ming Dynasty will not let Xu Xingxia go, this is also for sure. However, whether these two forces will cooperate with him or not, Mo Yuegen has no bottom in his heart.

"This ...... With the ability of King Khan, there is no problem at all in taking Ningxia Town and cutting off Xu Xingxia's head. The Khan King commanded 30,000 Tatar warriors, who were stubborn and unstoppable, and no matter how many Xu Xingxia, they were not the opponents of the Khan King. Li Guozhen said with a subconscious smile. In a hurry, what good advice could he have? It can only be generalized.

"Mr. Li, what I need is to have an opinion on the construction surname, not sycophancy. As the chief soldier of Ningxia Town, you should have a deep understanding of Xu Xingxia, right? Tell me what kind of advantages Xu Xingxia has and what kind of disadvantages he has. What is his greatest ability? What he likes most, what he hates the most, what he fears the most. Mo Yuegen said coldly. Li Guozhen, a guy who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, is what Mo Yuegen hates the most. If it weren't for the fact that he still had a little use, he would have ordered him to be dragged out and beheaded.

"This ......," Li Guozhen hesitated and didn't know how to answer. In front of everyone's eyes, his face turned red unconsciously. His understanding of Xu Xingxia is really not too deep. He has almost no direct contact with Xu Xingxia, so where will he know about Xu Xingxia? Even, in some ways, it's a blank slate.

If he really had a deeper understanding of Xu Xingxia, he would not have been tossed by Xu Xingxia to the point where he is today. Mo Yuegen asked him so many questions in one breath, if he could answer them, he would not be Li Guozhen. At that time, he felt that he was finished in front of Mo Yuegen. As an officer of the Ming army who surrendered, he couldn't even answer such a question, he was afraid that his life would not last long.

Sure enough, someone sneered and said disdainfully: "I don't even know my own subordinates, this chief military officer is the one!" No wonder it's a piece of rubbish! King Khan, it's a waste of food to raise such a person, it's better to drag it out and feed the dogs! Look at his fat body, it's almost the same as feeding the dogs! ”

Li Guozhen didn't dare to look at the sarcastic person, so he could only hang his head, and his mind was blank. Because, this person is something he can't afford to provoke. As a person who surrendered, he couldn't afford to mess with all the people in this room. Even if he is a fool, he knows very well that Mo Yuegen kept their surname for nothing more than to conquer Ningxia Town. If he didn't have the slightest value for conquering Ningxia Town, Mo Yuegen would really throw him out to feed the dogs.

Mo Yuegen's subordinates also have several generals, such as Bahlu, Bergen, Zachlu, Berrion and others, all of whom are first-class archers. It was Bachloch who had just spoken. Among the several generals under Mo Yuegen, he was the most impulsive one. For these surrendered Ming generals, he simply treated them as pugs.

Li Guozhen's judgment is indeed not wrong. The Tatars kept them, and the Ming army in Gansu Town was to attack Ningxia Town, eliminate Xu Xingxia, and eliminate the White Army. If they can't help in this matter, what awaits them is definitely a sharp butcher's knife. And the most unkind to them is this Bach. As long as Mo Yugen nodded, Bachlu alone could slaughter all the Ming troops in the entire Gansu town.

In fact, for Xu Xingxia's hatred, the Tatars are definitely not under Li Guozhen. When they were in the fortress of Kalong Mountain, they suffered a big loss from Xu Xingxia. At that time, Mo Yuegen's carefully arranged plan was completely destroyed by Xu Xingxia, not only was Neiying Tuoba Su killed, but also forced them to pay a considerable number of casualties. Later, at Fort Willytown, they suffered a little bit of the same loss. For this, they had to lie dormant for a full year.

Thinking of Mo Yuegen's injury, the Tatars' hatred for Xu Xingxia is simply hateful, and they don't share the sky. In the dormant passage, the target with Xu Xingxia's name written on it was shot through by the Tatars many times. Even then, the anger of the Tatars was not completely vented. They are all eager now, and immediately enter Ningxia Town, break through Ningxia City, arrest Xu Xingxia, cut thousands of knives, and scatter ashes.

Mo Yuegen was very dissatisfied with Li Guozhen's performance, his face was naturally gloomy, and he said coldly: "Li Guozhen, if it were you, where would you be the first to enter Ningxia Town?" ”

Li Guozhen hurriedly said: "Of course, we will march east along the Yellow River, and first occupy Ningxia Zhongwei." ”

Mo Yuegen's eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "Didn't you go north from Guyuan Town?" Going north from Guyuan Town, isn't it possible to directly attack Ningxia City? ”

Li Guozhen was flustered in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Of course, it is also possible to go north from Guyuan Town. It's just that in this way, Xu Xingxia has enough time to react. It is reported that at the junction of Ningxia Town and Guyuan Town, the white-clothed army is deployed to garrison it. If we go north from Guyuan Town, Xu Xingxia will definitely learn the news as soon as possible. ”

Mo Yuegen said slowly: "How many people are there in Xu Xingxia's white-clothed army?" ”

Li Guozhen suddenly felt a flustered feeling in his heart, feeling that his heart was constantly falling, and breathing became more and more difficult. Every question of Mo Yuegen is so sharp and so fatal. He didn't even know Xu Xingxia, so how could he know the exact strength of the white-clothed army? However, Mo Yuegen's question, he couldn't help but answer. There was no way, so he had to say perfunctorily and casually: "It's about 10,000 people." ”

Mo Yuegen frowned and said, "I need an accurate number!" ”

Where does Li Guozhen have the exact troop numbers of the White Army? The development of the White Army is simply a miracle, a miracle that is completely out of his control. Since it is a miracle, it cannot be described by common sense. Since it is a miracle, it means countless variables. If he knew exactly the strength of the white-clothed army, Ningxia City would not be easily lost. He could only estimate and say, "About fifteen thousand!" ”

Mo Yuegen's face sank, and he said coldly: "No! You're wrong! ”

Li Guozhen hurriedly changed his words and said: "That's 17,000 people!" No, eighteen thousand ......"

Mo Yuegen's face was gloomy as if it was about to freeze, and he couldn't see the slightest blood. His hands pressed the armrests of the chair, and said coldly: "Li Guozhen, your answer makes me very dissatisfied!" I don't need waste here! If you behave like this next time, I don't mind killing you! This time, I can spare you for the time being! However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living sin cannot be escaped! Come! Drag him down and beat him with twenty sticks! ”

Immediately, two wolf-like Tatar Hercules came up, pulled Li Guozhen up, forked it out directly, and fell down at the door of the hall, raised a big stick with thick arms, and started fighting. Li Guozhen was suddenly beaten and screamed as if he was killing a pig. After a moment of effort, the buttocks were already open and fleshy, and the flesh and blood were blurred. A big stick with a thick wrist, no matter who you hit on the body, it is a deadly punishment!

The generals of the Ming army in the hall were all pale, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at them at all. However, they didn't dare to plug their ears, so they could only let Li Guozhen's screams continue to drill into their minds, which was really uncomfortable. On the contrary, those Tatar generals felt very enjoyable and watched with relish.

Mo Yuegen ignored Li Guozhen's screams, slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly: "Governor Li, what is your opinion?" ”

Li Maohui was frightened by the scene at the door of the hall, and when he heard Mo Yugen ask himself, his face suddenly turned pale. Fortunately, he is a civil official after all, and he also has the eloquence to speak, and he also has the wit. He didn't dare to perfunctory Mo Yuegen, and said honestly: "First use the strategy of suspicious soldiers to attack the various passes of Helan Mountain and Zhenyuan Pass and other places to distract Xu Xingxia's attention, and then raid the front line of Yongkang Fort, Xuanhe Fort, and Ning'an Fort with the main force." ”

After a slight pause, Li Maohui said again: "King Khan, we will attack Xu Xingxia all the way alone, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve all the success." This Xu Xingxia is still very cunning. It's better to send someone to unite with Lin Dan Khan, or the imperial court, and make a move against Xu Xingxia together......"

Bachloy shouted: "Fart! What helpers do we need? ”

Li Maohui was suddenly so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, and sat there silently, trembling all over.

Mo Yuegen waved his hand to stop Bachlu's loud drinking, and said slowly: "You have some truth in what you say. I'll seriously consider it. Now, I give you an important task, which is to serve as a guide for our army and guide our army to the town of Ningxia. As long as you take our Tatar warriors into Ningxia Town, I will not lose your benefits! ”

Li Maohui hurriedly said: "Thank you King Khan for your grace! ”

but in my heart I secretly complained. He originally thought that he was a civilian official, his body was weak, and he could not withstand the long-distance fatigue, so he did not need to go to the front line. Unexpectedly, this Mo Yuegen was really a vicious character, and he actually asked himself to lead the Tatars to Ningxia Town. You can imagine what the consequences will be if you really do it. He not only surrendered to the Tatars, but also led the way for the Tatars to attack the interior of the Ming Dynasty. In history, such a leading party has had an extremely tragic end.

However, does Li Maohui dare to say no? If he says no, it will be the result of a human head falling to the ground immediately. Don't think that Mo Yuegen is very merciful! On the side of Liangzhou Wei, there were thousands of Ming troops who tried to resist the Tartars, but they were ordered to cut them all in half, and let them crawl on the ground in pain. The person is cut off by the waist, and it will take some time to breathe. This is the time when people suffer the most. The Tatars, on the other hand, stood by and watched the excitement and laughed.

Mo Yuegen's gaze fell on Liu Fengxi, the former chief military officer of Gansu Town, and said coldly: "Immediately rectify your army and follow our army to set off!" You must carry a sufficient amount of siege equipment! The number of cannons cannot be less than a hundred! In addition, we will use local materials to build 300 large trebuchets! Time is not a problem, what we have is time! ”

Liu Fengxi felt a pang in his heart, and hurriedly stood up and said, "The villain understands! ”

Mo Yuegen said again: "Bachlu, this attack, with you as the striker!" Li Maohui will be your guide! Liu Fengxi's troops, follow you! He will do your bidding! Field battles, you are in charge! Siege of the city, Liu Fengxi is responsible! I'll give you five thousand-man teams! You must take down the three places of Yongkang Fort, Xuanhe Fort, and Ning'an Fort within ten days! ”

Bachlu patted his chest and said loudly: "King Khan wait for my good news!" ”

At this time, Li Guozhen's twenty military sticks had already been beaten, and the sound of snapping disappeared. The Tatars enforce military law, and naturally they will not show mercy to their subordinates, and every stick is beaten to the fullest, very freely, and the stick is to the flesh. After the beating of the 20th military stick, Li Guozhen was already dying, and he only had his last breath. To be honest, he is still alive, or Mo Yuegen's meaning. If he is killed, there will be one less useful lead party.

"Take him away!" Mo Yuegen said mercilessly.

Several Tatars came up, grabbed Li Guozhen, carried him outside, and threw him to the surrounding Ming soldiers, asking them to take Li Guozhen away. As a result, the surrounding Ming soldiers were a little hesitant, and no one came up to take over for a long time. It turned out that in order to ensure that these high-ranking officers of the Ming army had no dissenting intentions and were playing tricks behind their backs, Mo Yuegen deprived all their family members and managed them in a centralized manner. The people who belonged to them were ordinary soldiers, and they were very unfamiliar with the adults. Even, there are some contradictions between them.

Most of the Ming soldiers did not have a good impression of the officials. Especially after "being surrendered", there are even more complaints. It is precisely because of the incompetence of these officials that they are lower-level military households that they are forced to become Han annihilation and traitors. When I thought of the words Han and traitor, those Ming soldiers were very depressed. With these two stigmas on their backs, they even lost the face of their ancestors.

"Carry it away! Hurry up and carry it away! Li Maohui had to come forward and shout.

There was no way, a few soldiers had to come up, lift Li Guozhen up, and walk slowly. A few big officials disappeared, and there were Ming soldiers cursing in a low voice. Of course, they don't want to be traitors to the Han Dynasty, but the world is big, who will take them in, and who will help them clear their name?
