The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 379 Gao's Choice

Liu Fangliang originally wanted to say that he would be able to hold back and comfort Gao, but Gao, who was as smart as he was, saw his hesitation, and immediately said seriously: "General Liu, I am a woman, and I don't understand war. But there are some things I It is also very clear in my heart. Your Majesty's hundreds of thousands of troops have been defeated, can our tens of thousands of people still hold this city?"

"I know what the situation in the city is like now. I came here just to ask you what your plans are. You have also seen that I am dressed up just to tell you that I will not be a drag on you.

If the general wants to defend the city, I will defend the city with the general.If the general has other plans, please don't hide them, tell me directly, and we can discuss together. "

Gao's words were loud and straight, and Liu Fangliang was quite surprised, but more moved, and immediately clasped his fists and said loudly: "Empress, please rest assured, in the end, she will protect her well even if she dies."

Mrs. Gao helped Liu Fangliang up and said, "I have no doubts about the general's loyalty to His Majesty. Let's go in and talk."

After speaking, he took the lead and walked inside, and Liu Fangliang hurriedly followed.

Most people are anxious and uneasy when they make up their own minds, but once someone else makes up their minds, his burden will be much easier immediately.

Because people are creatures who often need to constantly clarify the direction of progress, if the direction is unknown, people will fall into a state of confusion and anxiety.

But making up your own mind means taking responsibility, so most people prefer to be a follower rather than a leader.

Even if the direction this leader takes them is wrong, even fatal.

This phenomenon actually exists in many creatures. For example, those who have studied biology in junior high school know a name called imprinting behavior.

To give a simple example, a group of newborn ducklings will follow the first creature they see after birth, thinking of it as their mother, even if the creature is a goose, or a pig, or a person .

They all follow the first creature they see in neat file.

In humans, this behavior is called blind obedience.

Because the imprinting behavior of animals is based on instinct, but human beings are creatures with both rationality and sensibility, so when doing this imprinting behavior, reason temporarily disappears, so it is called blind obedience behavior.

When people are alone, they can often show their rational and powerful side.On the contrary, when you are in a group of people, you will become blind and stupid.

That's why there is that saying: When you are alone, you are a dragon, but when you are a group of people, you become a worm.

Liu Fangliang has this kind of mentality now. When he decides by himself, he is under a lot of psychological pressure and anxious, and doesn't know how to make a decision.

Now that Mrs. Gao is here, it seems that he is very interested in taking over this burden, and he feels relieved all of a sudden.Even if she is a woman.

After all, it is easier to follow and execute than to take an idea.

When she came to the hall, Gao Shi sat directly at the head, Liu Fangliang sat on her left, and Hong Niangzi led a group of female soldiers to protect Gao Shi.

Gao waved his hand and said to the red lady, "Yingying, come and sit here." He pointed to the chair on her right.

The red lady didn't hesitate, she came from behind and sat down.

Mrs. Gao glanced at Liu Fangliang, and said unabashedly: "General Liu, this city cannot be defended. As far as the troops in the city are concerned, if we try to defend by force, not only will we not be able to defend it, but we may be attacked by those with ulterior motives." People have killed, and they use us as a token of honor for the enemy."

Liu Fangliang's heart trembled, what Gao said was indeed very possible.

The red lady said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I, Cui Yingying, will risk my life to protect your Majesty Zhouquan. We will definitely be able to leave the city safely and find His Majesty."

Mrs. Gao smiled and said: "I know you will. Your husband Li Yan protects His Majesty and you protect me. We owe you both. I will remember this kindness. But when we have to work hard, we will naturally We have to go all out, but when it's useless, we should think about running for our lives first."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Liu Fangliang: "General Liu, there are enemies outside the city now, if we want to escape, how do we go with the best hope?"

At this time, Liu Fangliang understood Gao's meaning, which was to run for his life.

After pondering for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Returning to my mother, if you want to go, the best way is the waterway. After a few days of investigation, the general will find that although the enemy army is strong, there is one point of their weakness. .That is, they don't have a navy. If we take a boat and go all the way down the canal through the water gate, we will probably be able to escape."

Gao's eyes lit up, but he didn't speak. Instead, he pondered for a moment and said, "Are you sure the enemy doesn't have a navy?"

Liu Fangliang nodded confidently and said: "The final general can be determined. This Jiang family army entered the customs from Liaodong outside the customs. And I heard that their rise has only been a year, although their combat effectiveness is very strong, and the speed of their rise is too fast. Strange. But building a navy requires a lot of money, manpower and material resources, and they simply don't have the time or the conditions to build it.

And judging from the performance of these few battles, their artillery fire is very fierce, and their cavalry is also very strong, but they have never found traces of the navy.And if they had a navy, they would have blocked our army's food route and retreat from the canal long ago.

But so far, from Jinan Prefecture to Tianjinwei, there has been no news of our grain road being attacked.Therefore, based on the above reasons, the final general is convinced that they have no navy. "

Only then did Gao's eyes really light up, and he patted the coffee table next to him with his right hand and said excitedly: "In this case, let's escape by water. No matter how powerful they are on land, they can't chase them into the water. Prepare tonight , Prepare the boats and the goods and food to be taken away, and we will leave tomorrow."

Liu Fangliang was stunned for a moment and then said: "Empress, the general thinks that if he wants to leave, he should leave as soon as possible tonight. If he leaves tomorrow, there will be too many people. Once the enemy notices or is discovered by the rebels, there will be another death at that time." If something happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave."

After hearing the words, Gao thought for a moment and said: "It makes sense. Let's board the ship and set off at four o'clock tonight. Now you order people to prepare it. Remember to only bring close and confidant people, and don't leak the news. My palace now Go back and tidy up and notify the other female relatives."

But Liu Fangliang said: "Your Majesty will leave first tonight, and will leave tomorrow."

Loudly froze, puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Liu Fangliang stood up and said proudly: "If the general is going with the empress, there will be no one in the city to preside over it. I'm afraid there will be chaos sooner or later, and the enemy will notice our whereabouts. If the general stays in the city, at least we can win for the empress. It will take two days to attract the attention of the enemy. So, please leave first.”

Gao was silent, she knew that Liu Fangliang was right.If Liu Fangliang went with them tonight, there would be no leader in the city soon, and if chaos broke out, the Jiang family army outside the city would definitely notice something unusual.

Even if they don't have sailors, if they find some civilian boats to chase them down, I'm afraid their chances of escape will be much less.

After a while, Gao stood up and bowed to Liu Fangliang, "The general is loyal, I will definitely tell His Majesty."

After finishing speaking, he led the people and left in a big stride, without delaying at all.
