Genius One Second Remember → website provides you with wonderful novels to read. (800) Novel/Li Mingjun raised his eyes and looked at Xu Yuan, and said seriously: "Are you inciting me to rebel? Now that I am in your hands and become a prisoner, do you think I will definitely surrender to you and work for you?"
Xu Yuan also looked at him very seriously: "General Li, please forgive me, it is not particularly important to us whether we should instigate you or not. I believe you have a clear view of the current reality. You understand the gap between the two sides." It’s really too big, and as time goes by, the gap between us will only get bigger and bigger, you won’t deny this, right?”
Li Mingjun lowered his head in humiliation. Yes, the other party was right. This gap will only become larger and larger as time goes by. Western Zhao has fallen into a vicious cycle, while Eastern Zhao is under the care of Han. , but exactly the opposite.
"Look at the current situation of your soldiers!" Xu Yuan raised his hand and pointed at the Xi Zhao soldiers on both sides of the road, who were tied up like candied haws with ropes and squatting on the ground, trying their best to squeeze together to keep warm, with a look in his eyes. Mercy, these people originally snatched a lot of cotton-padded clothes and wadding to put on their bodies. At this time, they naturally had to be taken back by the Huining people who had regained their freedom. At this time, facing these Xi Zhao soldiers who had no power to resist, The anger of the people was unstoppable. Some were punching and kicking, some were beating around with sticks in their hands, and some were yelling at them. If it weren't for the Dong Zhao soldiers guarding them, they would have been killed on the spot. A few more lives will be lost.
"They all work as soldiers to get food, but the gap is too big, right? I feel pity for them, sad, and deplorable." Xu Yuan said: "But why did it end up like this? Didn't General Li think about it? They are all your soldiers."
"The country is so powerful, what can I do?" Li Mingjun retorted: "At least I won't drink the soldiers' blood, and I won't withhold food and wages."
"So your soldiers are still willing to follow you, but General Li, are you willing to continue like this? Until the situation gets worse and worse, let these people leave you? People always want to ask for peace, when the situation has deteriorated beyond measure When the time comes, they will naturally go to seek survival." Xu Yuan said: "Now you are talking about rebellion and surrender. Ask yourself, if I mobilize my troops to launch an offensive, can you resist it, or are these soldiers really willing to resist it? When that happens, will the result be any different?"
Li Mingjun lowered his head and said nothing. [Please go to 800 () to read the latest chapter of this book]
"We are from the same roots, why are we in such a hurry?" Xu Yuan looked at Li Mingjun, "General Li, they are all leaders in fighting. They are all soldiers. I know that surrender is not a good feeling for every soldier. , but you have to finally see if your actions can conform to the trend of history and can your conscience be at peace? Think about the soldiers under your command who are barely clothed and hungry. Think about you. Those people are in miserable conditions, right? They are also human beings. Why can't they live a good life? Do you think the people in Huining are living well? That's because you have never been to the mainland of China. You will find that for ordinary people, what day
That is a dignified and happy life. "
"I, I need to think about it." Li Mingjun raised his head and said through gritted teeth.
"Of course, you have time." Xu Yuan smiled. "When you go back, think carefully about what I said. Follow Zhao Qi. There will be no good end. The Qin people behind Xi Zhao have become even more unreliable. Over the past year or so. I believe you have also seen how the Qin people exploited you. . Your life and death have never been in their hearts. Even if you are all dead, they will not blink an eye. General Li, I look forward to your reply soon. "
"You want to let me go back?" Li Mingjun raised his head in surprise.
"What? Do you still want to follow me as a guest? Do you want to go and see if what I said is true? I would like to do this, but if you leave for a long time, I'm afraid Shanggu will be in chaos, right?" Xu Yuan smiled. "Not only will I let you go back, but I will also give you all the things in the military supplies warehouse that you robbed in Changqiaoji. But you have to give back the things you robbed from the common people, because I can't make the decision. , If I can’t take things back for the people, I will be scolded and my life will be difficult.”
The incident happened suddenly. Li Mingjun looked at Xu Yuan and couldn't believe it. The other party actually let him go. You know, with his status, if Xu Yuan caught him back, it would be a great achievement, but for Xi Zhao was a fatal blow.
"Aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word when I go back and stop talking to you? Instead, I will prepare my troops and prepare for a big fight with you. You know, now I know your plan for Shanggu County very well." Li Mingjun asked in return.
Xu Yuan looked at him with a smile, "Is there any difference in the outcome? It doesn't make much difference to us whether you are prepared or not. If we want to fight, we will definitely be able to win."
Looking at the proud and confident Xu Yuan, Li Mingjun was speechless.
"Come here, untie General Li." Xu Yuan waved.
A tall and thick soldier came over behind him, drew his sword and cut off all the restraints on Li Mingjun's feet, and silently retreated behind Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan picked up the wine bag that Gu Li had thrown aside and said, "General Li, let's say goodbye. I will wait for you in Huining for ten days. If I don't get any news from you within ten days, I will I will think that you have rejected my proposal, so I'm sorry, the offensive originally planned for next spring will be moved forward, our cavalry will march straight in, and you should be ready to fight, but it seems that you have nothing to prepare. "
He stood up with a laugh, threw the wine bag to Li Mingjun, turned around and walked back.
With Xu Yuan's departure, the troops in Xiazigou also became busy. Zhou Zilong's infantry began to assist the people who had regained their freedom to pack their things and help the old and the young leave. In this short war, The bodies of the soldiers who died in the attack and the civilians who were accidentally killed during the cavalry attack were also carried onto the carriages, and batches were withdrawn in the direction of Huining. The last to leave was Guli's cavalry division.
The sound of hoofbeats stopped beside Li Mingjun. Li Mingjun looked up and saw Gu Li's devil mask.
"I really 3617/'>hope to face you on the battlefield again." A slightly proud voice came from behind the mask, "But I'm sure you will still be the loser."
Accompanied by a burst of laughter like silver bells, the war horse sped away.
The Xiongnu independent cavalry division, Zhou Zilong's infantry, and Huining's people walked away cleanly in Xiazigou. Only Li Mingjun and his tied soldiers were left in Xiazigou, and there were bursts of wailing sounds. It finally came out. I didn't dare to say anything before, but now I finally have no scruples.
Li Mingjun ignored all this. He sat blankly by the fire like a statue.
There was the sound of footsteps behind him, and Guo Fu limped over with an injured leg and struggled to sit next to him.
"General, what are these Han people doing?" Guo Fu picked up a few branches from the side and threw them into the extinguishing fire in front of him. With the help of several soldiers, he finally broke free from the rope. At this moment, Behind them, soldiers were helping each other, one by one, untying the ropes that bound them.
Li Mingjun slowly turned back and looked at the injury on Guo Fu's leg, "Is it serious? Does it matter?"
"I was stabbed, but luckily no bones were injured. Those Han soldiers were kind enough to bandage it for me." Guo Fu moved his injured leg forward with some effort, and Guo Fu glanced at Li Mingjun guiltily. "General, this time it's my responsibility. I shouldn't have come up with such a bad idea and hurt you, General..."
Li Mingjun shook his head, "This is none of your business, this is God's will, God's will!" He sighed, he came out just once, wanted to grab something, and accidentally ran into the main cavalry division of the Han army. , it would be fine to say that this was his deliberate plan to leak information, but it happened to be his impromptu decision. Before he made this decision, he did not know that this action would happen again. Even so, we still ended up like this. What else could it be if it wasn’t God’s will?
"General, what should we do next? We must not leak out the fact that we were captured, otherwise the chief assistant will not be able to spare us." Guo Fu lowered his voice and whispered.
Li Mingjun glanced at him and said, "What are you afraid of? If the sky falls, I will still be able to hold it up."
"But if something happens to the general, who among us will take care of him and protect him!" Guo Fu said dejectedly, "You are a big tree, and we are just vines clinging to your tree. "
"Just keep your soldiers' mouths in check." Li Mingjun said calmly, "Just leave the rest to me."
"Yes, General." Guo Fu nodded. "But will the Han army..."
"They would never leak anything. Do you know who I was just sitting here talking to for so long?"
Guo Fu shook his head.
"Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan, commander of the First War Zone of the Han Kingdom, is one of the most famous figures in the Han Kingdom." Li Mingjun looked at Guo Fu, "Do you know what he is talking about to me?"
Guo Fu looked at Mingjun with his mouth wide open.
"He wants to surrender me."
Guo Fu's mouth opened wider.
"Can you have another expression?" Li Mingjun looked at Guo Fu. Although he was in an extremely bad mood, he still shook his head and laughed.
"Xu Yuan? Surrender?" Guo Fu stammered.
"What do you think I should do?" Li Mingjun looked at Guo Fu and asked.
"General, are you asking me?" Guo Fu pointed at his nose and asked.
"Of course, this is a big deal. No matter whether I decide to resist to the end or surrender, I have to ask you brothers for your opinions first." Li Mingjun nodded.
Guo Fu looked down at the rekindled fire, then suddenly raised his head and said: "General, if you ask me, you might as well surrender. This life will be unbearable." (To be continued.)
