2071: Someone is worried

In Xuan'en County, a large number of Qi troops had been withdrawn, leaving only the last remaining troops. They were just playing a surveillance role here. When the Ming army attacked, they could only retreat quickly.

Guo Xiancheng is one of the rarest clothes of his generals and officer uniforms today, holding a sword in his hand, and looking at the cowhide tent that had been following him for many years with a complicated expression.

This big tent has been with him for many years. No matter where he goes, he will always bring it with him. Even if it is long and damaged, he will only repair it and never give it up.

The big tent is always so simple, except for weapons and seats, there is nothing else. Behind him, several personal soldiers were crying at this moment.

Not sure how long has passed, Guo Xiancheng waved his hand and said, "It's burned!"

A soldier with red and swollen eyes threw a bottle of tinder oil in, then ignited the fire and threw it inward. With a rumbling sound, the flame immediately rushed up and drowned the entire tent in an instant.

When the fire ignited, Guo Xiancheng turned around expressionlessly and walked outside, walking all the way to the gate. Wherever he was, thousands of soldiers lined up in neat formations and stood silently.

Guo Xiancheng walked to the front of the team.

As the sun gradually rose, hundreds of riders suddenly appeared on the horizon in the distance, walking towards this place. The muscles on Guo Xiancheng's face twitched for a moment, and then he returned to calm.

Soon after, the team had arrived, and the man turned over and dismounted, rushed forward, bowed and said, "General."

Guo Xiancheng bowed and returned the greeting: "I didn't expect that it was Commander Cao who came in person. Guo was so guilty that he dared to be the title of general?"

Cao Hui looked gloomy, "The situation is so corrupt, how could it be the general's responsibility?"

"I lost the war, I, the general, are not responsible, who is responsible?" Guo Xiancheng's eyes crossed Cao Hui's shoulders and looked at a eunuch holding a box behind him. "Put the imperial edict!"

The eunuch was obviously a young man who had never left the palace. At this moment, standing in front of the military camp, under the angrily gaze of thousands of soldiers, in front of the aura of the veteran on the battlefield that Guo Xiancheng tried his best to restrain himself, he was still unintentionally emitting. He took out the imperial edict from the box and looked at the thousands of soldiers in the past in front of him, and actually shivered a little when he read the imperial edict.

You know, this is an edict of indictment that was removed from the position of General Guo Xiancheng and was waiting for trial. Or was the eunuch who was worried that Guo Xiancheng would not obey the imperial edict, or the soldiers were dissatisfied with the sudden mutiny and demanded his head?

But with the readout of one crime, Guo Xiancheng was still crawling on the ground with no movement. Two eunuchs on both sides stepped forward and took off Guo Xiancheng's golden helmet and seal, and his tone finally became smoother.

"I thank you for your kindness!" Guo Xiancheng knocked three times hard, got up from the ground, and had already transformed from a former general into a prisoner of crime.

The two eunuchs stepped forward, holding their shackles with their heads in their hands, as if they wanted to bring them to Guo Xiancheng. Cao Hui, on the other hand, snorted, "There is no need."

Before the eunuch who announced the eunuch had spoken, Guo Xiancheng had already reached out his hand, "Since he has been punished, of course, he has to follow the rules and regulations. Without rules and regulations, how can he be square? Guo has always been strict in governing the army. He cannot abolish the rules and regulations just because Guo violated the national law today!" He stretched out his hands and signaled the eunuch to bring it to him.

The eunuch looked at Cao Hui with an inquiring look in his eyes.

"General, this is not a crime of war." Cao Hui said.

Guo Xiancheng shook his head: "This is the crime of war."

Seeing the eunuch bringing torture instruments to Guo Xiancheng, Cao Hui was helpless.

Guo Xiancheng, wearing head shackles and hand shackles, looked a little hunched on his back. He turned around and looked at the three thousand soldiers who had not yet stood up behind for a long time. These three thousand people were his personal soldiers, and he was also the last troops he left behind in Xuan En as the last troops behind.

"I am now insincere because I have received the crime, which has caused the country and the army. When I am leaving, I would like to fight for the country and move forward bravely as before."

"I'm sure to be taught by the general!" Three thousand people shouted in unison.

Guo Xiancheng nodded with a smile, turned around, and got into the prison car specially prepared for him. The convoy did not stop at all, and immediately turned around and headed towards Chang'an.

"General, the emperor issued an edict to punish him this time, and he had to do it." Cao Hui whispered by the prison carriage. "Actually, the emperor knew very well that in this battle, the general would finally save his strength, withdraw his main force, and avoid being surrounded by the Ming army. If there were no 150,000 elite troops withdrawn, there would be no effective troops before Chang'an to stop the Ming people."

"Who is the one who succeeded me?" Guo Xiancheng asked.

"It's the master." Cao Hui said.

Guo Xiancheng was stunned at first, then he was happy: "It turns out that His Highness the Prince took action personally, so I feel relieved. What I fear most is the people appointed by the emperor are eager to make progress."

"The master said that your military plan to retreat to Daling River is the safest at the moment. After he took office, he would only follow Xiao Gui and Cao follow and work hard to manage the Daling River defense line." Cao Hui said.

"Defense alone is not good. Now the Ming army's offensive ability is too terrifying. It is difficult to pose a threat to them again in a strong city and village. We need more cavalry to conduct mobile interspersive operations and offset their firepower threats in constant mobile warfare." Guo Xiancheng said. "The troops I faced by Zhou Jiyun are actually the slowest weapon renewal force among the Ming army, but even so, I can't do anything about it when facing the air bombing of dozens of airships. Commander Cao, you must explain this to His Highness the Prince."

"Your Majesty has already begun to assemble all the cavalry in Chang'an, but in a hurry, it is difficult to summon too many, let alone form them into a combat-capable army." Cao Hui sighed. Cao Yun naturally saw clearly what Guo Xiancheng had figured out now, but it was another matter to think clearly and see clearly and whether he could do it in time.

"Redong!" Guo Xiancheng reminded: "Recalling the Liaodong cavalry of Leidong and joining His Highness the Prince's army, don't let him go to the Red River Basin, Laizhou, where it is not suitable for large-scale cavalry combat."

"But the Honghe River Basin has to be guarded. Xu Junsheng has already encountered big trouble. I am afraid that Laizhou can't be guarded." Cao Hui said.

"Whether the Red River Basin can be defended or not is second, the key is Chang'an!" Guo Xiancheng said: "The Liaodong cavalry in Leidong can play a greater role in the Daling River defense war."

"I will transfer your meaning to the master. After returning to Chang'an, Your Majesty will definitely summon you. At that time, you will tell the emperor in detail." Cao Hui said, "The left and right are not in a hurry. As the war deepens, the deeper the Ming army advances, the slower their advancement will be. Our Daqi cannot compare with their Ming Dynasty, and the traffic is not so developed. The Ming army is also an army that relies heavily on logistics supply. Next, they must be steady, attacking the ground, governing the land, and advancing slowly."

"We are already at an absolute disadvantage on the front battlefield. Do you have any ideas on other aspects?"

"Of course there is." Cao Hui nodded: "I have dispersed all the officers above the Ghost Clerk. Each of them gave them 10,000 taels of silver, asking them to pull rods and rebel in the rear of the Ming army, but to assassinate and carry out terror damage. In short, the Ming army cannot have a moment of peace. The Great Qi ruled this land for hundreds of decades, and it will never be ashamed of the tea. There will always be some loyal people. Even in Yuejing, I sent people over, no matter what they do, just cause panic in Yuejing. Although the methods are a little more vulgar, now I don't care about my face."

"The two countries are fighting and doing everything they can. Is there any face to say?" Guo Xiancheng said. "I guess the Ming people are in Chang'an and Luoyang are the same?"

"The wind in Chang'an is stormy, and Luoyang is even more out of control." Cao Hui's eyes were filled with haze. "The big shoes are about to fall, and the storm is about to come and the wind is everywhere. In the chaotic times, I can only use the Chongdian. In the past few months, I have killed thousands of people. Even though many of them were wronged, I have no time to identify them one by one at this time. I would rather kill the wrong one than let it go."

Guo Xiancheng was silent. He could imagine how Chang'an, Luoyang and other places were now in panic, but other than bloody suppression, what other ways could there be?

Although the weather was sunny, the people in this group were in the hearts of the wind and rain, and they were walking forward miserably.

In the Battle of Luzhou, the Qi people had already returned from a great defeat, but in Laizhou, the war had reached a white-hot stage. The day-day battle did not calm the night down. The difficulty of the war far exceeded Suqian. Lu Dayuan's imagination, and even Chen Zhihua went from Crab Bay to Laizhou South City.

Tonight is the Great Night. At this time last year, Laizhou had set off fireworks and ignited pens, but tonight, the rumbling sound of cannons and crisp gunshots have replaced the festive season of last year. This night was a bloody big night.

Shi Guangrong was curled up in the corner of a dilapidated house, eating a box of dumplings delivered by the logistics company. Even if the war was fierce, the Ming army did not forget that today was the Great Day, and there was nothing else, there was still a large lunch box of dumplings.
