Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 285 Propaganda Team, Planter

Ren Qi carried Silly Dazhu out of the camp and rode with him for easier care.Looking up, I saw the soldiers leaving the military camp in an orderly manner, with their horses and horses wrapped in their hooves, and there was no sound at all.

"Li Guo is really good at governing the army!" Ren Qi thought so, shaking the reins lightly, and moved with the army.

Leaving the river valley, they saw the army heading north quickly.Ren Qi drove his horse to Li Guo and asked in a low voice: "General Li, the enemy's base camp is in the north. If we go north, won't we go deep into the tiger's den?"

"How can you get a tiger cub if you don't enter the tiger's den!" Li Guo laughed.

"You want to come up with an anti-sneak attack?" Ren Qi was also smart, nodded and said, "I like to play something exciting when I am rich and dangerous. General Li's move is just right for me. But then again, how can you be sure that the enemy Will the army come to carry out a sneak attack?"

Li Guo said: "First of all, He Zhen and I are old acquaintances. We have worked together for many years and are familiar with his habit of leading troops to fight. This person likes to attack enemy camps at night, and he has a nickname called Night Owl. Secondly, at dusk I It has been observed that the flow of the Jia River has become smaller, which means that the enemy army has built a dam upstream to block the water, and He Zhen is going to follow Guan Yunchang and flood the Seventh Army."

Things really happened as Li Guo expected, at the end of the Xu Dynasty that night, He Zhen really led [-] soldiers in a surprise attack.

The Qing soldiers first blew up the dam built in the upper reaches, and the torrential flood rushed endlessly. When it reached the valley, because the waterway was narrow, the flood overflowed the river bank and poured into the Ming army's barracks.

I saw deer villages and tents being washed away by the flood and drifting with the waves. There were even many people floating on the water, who were swept into the river by the flood and were swallowed up and submerged in an instant.

"Haha, Li Guo, do you know how powerful I am? When I led the army to fight, you were still a young boy. How can you compete with me? Today I will let you know what it means to be old and spicy!"

He Zhen rode on a horse and stood on a high slope, listening to the sound of the flood, seeing the mess of the Ming army barracks dimly with the light of the torch, she was very proud.

When the flood was about to recede, He Zhen drew out her knife, rushed out first, and shouted: "Kill, capture Li Guo alive!"

The [-] Qing soldiers rushed into the valley, and the flood had completely receded. The Ming army camp was muddy and chaotic.The Qing soldiers rushed into the camp trampling on the mud, but there was no trace of the Ming soldiers, and suspicions arose immediately.

"Where are people, where are people?" He Zhen roared.

A general came dragging a corpse and said, "General He, we might have been fooled, Li Guo's army might have left long ago, and the people who floated in the flood before were our soldiers who died on the battlefield during the day. "

"Not good, retreat quickly!" He Zhen turned the horse's head, beckoning her subordinates to quickly run out of the river valley.

The river valley is narrow, and he was worried that he would be ambushed by the Ming army and made dumplings.Fortunately, the army came out of the valley safe and sound, and the Ming army did not come to attack.

He Zhen comforted herself and said: "Although the surprise attack was not successful, our army did not suffer any losses. Li Guo guessed that I would come to attack at night, but he didn't know how to arrange an ambush. He is just a general with half a tank of water, what's the point?"

At dawn, He Zhen's army was still more than 40 miles away from Shanyang County, when suddenly a group of disgraced Qing soldiers rushed from the direction of Shanyang County.

He Zhen frowned and said, "Stop them and ask what's going on?"

Not long after, a person was brought in front of He Zhen, who was startled and frightened and said: "General He, it's not good, Shanyang County has fallen and fell into the hands of the Ming army!"

"You...what are you talking about? Impossible, there are more than 2 people in the city, how could the Ming army capture the county in just one night?" He Zhen shouted, raising her whip and was about to whip it down.

The man prostrated himself on the ground and said tremblingly, "It's true, how dare you deceive the general? When the general led his troops south to attack the Ming army's camp, the Ming army rushed north and killed the soldiers guarding the Jiahe dam first." They put on the clothes of our army and pretended to open the gate of the city. Moreover, the artillery fire of the Ming army was too fierce. We couldn't resist it at all, so we had to flee in all directions. I am afraid that only 2 or 3000 of the more than [-] brothers escaped. people……"

"Oh..." He Zhen screamed wildly, and fell off the horse.

The guards frantically helped He Zhen up, but He Zhen shouted with trembling hands, "Li Guo, you're so cruel, you're really talented!"

After panting for a long time, he ordered: "Pass on my military order and retreat to Shangzhou Prefecture!"

The lieutenant general said: "Shanyang County fell, and the casualties were heavy. If we retreat without a fight, how will King Pingxi explain?"

"Tell me what a fart, if you keep beating me up, I'll lose all my men and horses!" He Zhen yelled.

……

At the end of the unitary hour, the afterglow of the setting sun poured down, and the glow was overwhelming, and Shanyang County was shrouded in a layer of warm and peaceful light.

On the square in front of the Town God's Temple, a stage was set up, and several tables of banquets were prepared.The actors on the stage babbled and sang, while Li Guo and Ren Qi chatted happily with the gentry in the city.

At this time, two actors on the stage, a man and a woman, are twisting their bodies and dancing happily. They are singing the Hunan Flower Drum Opera "Liu Hai Chops Wood", but the lyrics have been adapted.

Woman: I compare it to Tartars here.

Man: Sister Hu, my wife,

Who do you compare the Tartars to?

Woman: I compare tartars to devils, and they are no different.

Male: The comparison is good, the comparison is wonderful, the Tartars are worse than the devil.

I compare Daming here.

Female: Brother Liu Hai, my husband,

Who do you compare Daming to?
Man: I compare Daming to a Bodhisattva, and he is no different.

Woman: It’s a good comparison, a wonderful comparison. The Ming Emperor is a living Bodhisattva.

……

After hearing this, Ren Qi laughed and said, "I said General Li, you always surprise me from time to time, and it's nothing more than taking down Shanyang County with ease, but you even came up with this kind of libretto, thank you for thinking of it! "

Li Guo smiled and said: "The emperor said that our army has another very important duty, that is to be a propaganda team and a seeder. Although I don't know what a seeder is, I want to expose the devilish face of the Tartars. There should be nothing wrong with praising the benevolent and benevolent government of our dynasty. You see, the people present listened with gusto and applauded like thunder, and it must have sung to their hearts."

"Ordinary people, they just like to listen to operas. This method is very good." Ren Qi laughed.

Li Guo said again: "To be honest, I have a lot of experience in dealing with the poor people. In addition, I sent soldiers to the countryside to publicize the new policy of our dynasty to the people in Shanyang County. Bring them food. In short, let the people see the goodness of our Ming Dynasty and the benevolence of our army. In His Majesty's words, it is to win the hearts of the people."

Ren Qi respectfully made a toast to Li Guo: "General Li, based on what you have done in the past few days, you are worthy of the title of Duke of the State. Come, Duke Xing, I offer you a toast!"

Li Guo drank the wine and said with a smile: "Lord Ren, such a small victory is nothing to worry about. After our army captures Xi'an City, you can call me Xing Guo Gong soon."

The two looked at each other and smiled, silly Dazhu said: "When can I drink?"

After singing, Li Guo gave an order, and several Tartar generals were brought to the open space in front of the stage by the soldiers.

Li Guo got up and went to the stage, and said in a loud voice: "Fathers and folks in Shanyang County, the Tartars have occupied our homeland for too long, today is the time for them to pay with their blood! Come on, peel the daylilies and take the human skin The scarecrow is hanging outside the Temple of the City God!"

Seeing these Tartars howling and being tortured, the people cheered and applauded.
