Teacher is too tough

After the first team of 5000 casualties was exhausted, Ma Shoucai already sensed that something was wrong and started to retreat. He really felt distressed. Although these soldiers were of average combat power, they were their capital to conquer the world.

However, before the expedition, Guan Shichong gave him a death order that he must take down Longhua City, so he sent someone back to the camp to report the situation to Guan Shichong, and proposed to retreat temporarily.

In the end, what was waiting was still an order to capture Longhua City regardless of the cost.

After the war, when he learned that nearly [-] troops had been lost in order to capture such a shabby county, Ma Shoucai was furious. After returning to the military camp, he rushed directly to the Chinese military tent to question Guan Shichong. In his opinion, this was by no means a trivial matter. If he continued to fight for several times like this, If there is a war, the family will be destroyed.

Ma Shoucai has no concept of committing crimes. Guan Shichong is his brother. When he was in the cottage, he ate food in the same pot. Although everyone has named him a general now, they still have a friendship.

He did not hide his anxiety and anger in front of Guan Shichong, forcing the supreme commander of the rebel army to give himself a satisfactory answer, so he was convinced after drinking a cup of tea.

Ma Shoucai said to Li Qingshi: "You need to take a long-term view. What's wrong with short-term gains? What is the most important thing in marching and fighting? Morale! You may not know it when you joined, but we haven't lost a single battle since the uprising! General Guan is afraid If we withdraw today, our morale will also plummet, so we gritted our teeth and attacked, I think it is not unreasonable for General Guan to say this, he has already said, and he will not do it so hard in the future."

Li Qingshi looked at the strong man in front of him who was sitting on the position of general because of his connections, and began to wonder if his decision was wrong. Can such a group of people really reach Shengren City?
The brutality of this battle has directly shaken the morale of the army. I don’t know how many people are thinking of fleeing. Everyone is here to find a way to survive. If the future battles are so difficult to fight, how can there be any way to survive?
Guan Shichong reacted quickly and immediately formulated countermeasures. One person escaped, one group was beheaded, the whole group escaped, one or two beheaded, and so on, so that the soldiers could supervise each other.

At the same time, I don't know where to get the money, and for the first time, I sent back the soldiers' salaries, and gave them kindness and power, and finally stabilized the morale of the soldiers.

The next day, the army set out again. This time it was not a battle. In order to make the soldiers more comfortable and further calm their emotions, General Guan decided to move the camp to Longhua City.

The people in Longhua City had already evacuated before the rebel army attacked the city, and it was already an empty city. It is not a problem to house these soldiers. The problem is that if the imperial court secretly dispatches soldiers and horses, will they not be afraid of being caught in the urn if they live in the city?
Li Qingshi became more and more incomprehensible to the showmanship of the general of the rebel army.

The army entered the city and re-divided their residences. Li Qingshi and the four chose to live in an ordinary house. Suddenly there was a noise outside. Liang Shun ran out to take a look. It didn't take long for him to come back with a strange look on his face.

Du Yunshan asked: "What happened?"

Liang Shun said: "They all wanted to live closer to us, and they were fighting over several houses nearby."

Du Yunshan glanced at Li Qingshi and said, "Why do you want to live closer to us? You obviously want to live closer to Brother Shitou."

After going to the battlefield together, the relationship between the four quickly warmed up. Du Yunshan was actually a few months older than Li Qingshi, but he insisted on calling him brother Shitou. Face.

In the past, when their corps was full, their combat effectiveness was outstanding in the army, but they had never been so popular. Xue Chaogui and the other three knew who earned this honor.

Liang Shun picked up the tub and said, "I'll go wash everyone's clothes." He picked up the dirty clothes of several people and walked out.

He knew that it was his luck to be assigned to this team. On the battlefield, he was someone who was taken care of by everyone. After the battlefield, he should always do more for everyone.

Du Yunshan scratched his forehead with a finger, and said, "I'll go with you."

Originally thought that he was only worse than Boss Xue among the four, but how could he have imagined that brother Shitou would be so fierce, and even Liang Shun impressed him. When he was on the battlefield for the first time, he was so scared that he pissed his pants. So why would Liang Shun do this kind of miscellaneous work alone?
Li Qingshi grinned, regardless of whether the generals above were idiots or something weird, at least these soldiers were cute.

Zhengyang Palace Imperial Study Room.

The old emperor slammed a memorial to the ground, cursing: "A bunch of trash! Another city has been lost, and those rebels have already set foot in Qianzhou! Do you want them to occupy the fourth state? !"

The old eunuch who was waiting on the side picked up the memorial and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, calm down. I heard that the guards of Longhua City are Lu Shoufu's people. Recently, the Lu Party is very powerful. Didn't Your Majesty not want them to make military exploits?"

The old emperor snorted coldly: "Of course it is important to check and balance the court situation, but I don't want people to call me incompetent behind my back! Those rebels have been rampant for several years? If they don't get rid of them, how will people in the world talk about me? Containing and delaying the calming of the overall situation, I can't care so much, so I have to kill chickens and monkeys."

The old eunuch said: "Didn't Mrs. Bai recommend someone? Your Majesty, why don't you let this person try. If he succeeds, he will be promoted to compete with the Lu Party, and the strength gap between the two sides will be narrowed. Isn't it suitable for your majesty?" Mind?"

The old emperor said nothing. He walked back to the imperial desk and sat down. He took out a blood-red pill and put it into his mouth.

He didn't know that the rebel army in Qiongzhou was jointly raised by his second and fourth sons. He only knew that this rebel force would last for a long time and was closely related to the internal struggle between the DPRK and China.

He got angry several times in the court, but it was just a show for his courtiers, but he was not really angry, because he never took this rebel army seriously. Killing that mob was as easy as pie.

In other words, those untouchables have been able to dance for so long because he was watching coldly, but now his patience has almost worn out, and he doesn't want to let those untouchables continue to dance. After all, there are such a group of untouchables. You will think he is an incompetent king.

The old eunuch has been with this master for decades, and he understands his mind best, and said: "Anyway, it has been delayed for so long, and it is not bad for a month or two. If you take ten thousand steps back, even if those thugs take over In a state, if you want to get rid of them, His Majesty's means will not take much effort."

The old emperor glanced at him, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "You talk so much today, could it be that Bai Tonggu gave you some benefits?"

The old eunuch knelt on the ground and said in fear: "As a warning, I never accept benefits from others. I just feel that if your Majesty takes action now, wouldn't it be in vain that those unruly people have been tormented for so long?"

The old emperor hummed, and said: "Then give them another chance, if it doesn't work, then I have no choice but to do it myself."

On the second day, a carriage roared out of the city and headed straight for Qianzhou.

The horses that pull the cart are all snow-white, the horses are short, and their legs are thick and short. Judging only by their appearance, they are far inferior to those famous steeds, but they are the fastest horses in the world.

The horse's name is Fuguang, and it can travel two thousand miles a day. It is specially bred by the imperial court to deal with emergencies.

In the carriage, Lang Mo Rengan, the champion of Wanshun in 69, was sitting upright. He was the only one in the carriage, but he still maintained his usual rigor, his waist was straight, and his face was calm.

However, my heart was a little uneasy, because I went here to kill. (end of this chapter)
