Chapter 250 Alienation (2)
Liu Ruosi's subordinates outside the door rushed in immediately when they heard Liu Ruosi's orders, pulled out the cold waist knife and put it on Guo Zhiyuan's neck. However, Guo Zhiyuan seemed to have guessed that Liu Ruosi would react like this, and laughed and said, "Just just now, General Liu had already heard the discussions between General Liu and Zhao Bingjian and others outside the hall. They knew that the general was willing to accept the court's reunion, so they came to find the general. Why should the general act like this? Since I came to find the general, I have already put my life and death aside. It doesn't matter if the general killed me, I am afraid that the general's retreat will be lost!..."
Liu Ruosi stared at Guo Zhiyuan with a gloomy face. Seeing that Guo Zhiyuan was calm and composed, she waved her hand and signaled her subordinates to put away their swords and retreat. However, the vigilance on her face did not fade, and she said with a gloomy face: "Since you were sent by the imperial court to recruit peace, why did you come to find Marshal Zhao?..."
Guo Zhiyuan laughed again and said, "Then Zhao Bingjian is just a crazy man with great ambitions and talent. If it weren't for the help of the general, he would have been defeated and died. The other two were brave but not wise. No one was worth worrying about. Only the general had a long-term vision and knowledgeable military strategy. Who could I find if I didn't come to find the general?..."
Who doesn’t like to listen to good things in the world? Guo Zhiyuan’s unremembered flattery made Liu Ruosi very happy, and his face looked much better. He thought for a while and said, “Since you are the secret envoy sent by the court to recruit peace, you must have the token of the court? Can you take it out and give it to Liu Mouyi…”
Guo Zhiyuan was originally under the name of court recruitment. Even the seal of the imperial court appointed him as the magistrate of Zhangzhou Prefecture because he was worried that he would be searched by the rebels and exposed his identity and did not bring it with him. Naturally, he could not bring any tokens when he came. However, when he came, he thought of a countermeasure and laughed: "I came in a hurry, and the court did not know that the general was willing to accept the recruitment. I was going to explore the truth and it was impossible for me to carry the tokens with me..."
Liu Ruosi frowned as soon as she heard this, "Since there is no token, how do you let me believe you?"
Guo Zhiyuan smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter if the general believes it or not. As long as the general understands that there is no choice but to accept the court's amnesty..."
"There is no choice?" Liu Ruosi's eyes flashed and she laughed, "Why can't I see it? We now have 20,000 troops, guarding the water camp mountains, and can attack and retreat. If we want to take us down, we don't have a 100,000 army. But the total military force in Fujian is less than 100,000, unless we are dispatched from other provinces, but in this way, Xu Xueju, the governor of Fujian, will have to lose his post, so recruiting the amnesty is the only choice for the court! Haha!..."
Guo Zhiyuan felt a little sad. Liu Ruosi was indeed not easy to fool. He was the chief of the Fujian Navy, and he was very familiar with the rules of the Ming Dynasty officialdom and had a thorough understanding of the current situation. He just waited for the court to come to invite peace and asked for a price. However, Guo Zhiyuan was vaining the name of court recruitment, so it was impossible to give Liu Ruosi any substantial promises, so it would be difficult to convince him.
Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan used his special trick - "Laughter Magical Art", and burst into laughter. Sure enough, Liu Ruosi was laughed inexplicably by him, and looked at Guo Zhiyuan with a suspicious look and asked, "Why are you laughing? Am I wrong?..."
Guo Zhiyuan shook his head and smiled, "I thought General Liu and Zhao Bingjian, Zhang Tianbao and others were different, and they had far-sightedness than them, but I didn't expect that it would be the case. General Liu should know better than me that the so-called 20,000 army is just a group of mobs. Why do you need a hundred thousand army? Just send a general and bring 10,000 troops to kill you!..."
Liu Ruosi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she said in anger: "Are you humiliating me? As long as I give you an order, you can make your head fall to the ground! Ten thousand soldiers want to defeat us, it's such a big tone!..."
This is what Guo Zhiyuan wants. Only by angering Liu Ruosi can he lose his mind, and he is brought into his thoughts unconsciously by Guo Zhiyuan. He saw Guo Zhiyuan smiled calmly and said, "I am just saying the facts. General Liu is well versed in military tactics. He should know that soldiers are more important than many. What's more, you have many internal conflicts and fight each other. It would be good if 20,000 soldiers and horses can exert the combat power of 5,000 soldiers and horses. I don't hide it from the general. The court has set a strategy to use suppression and appeasement. General Chen Yourong has led 10,000 elite soldiers to land from Zhangpu County. Zhangpu County has been restored. If the general refuses to accept the court's pacification, General Chen's army will soon face the water camp mountain!..."
Liu Ruosi naturally heard of the name of a person, the shadow of a tree, and the famous name of Shen Yourong. Liu Ruosi's face finally changed. He had to admit that Guo Zhiyuan's words were just a group of mobs. If a famous general like Shen Yourong led 10,000 elite troops to attack the water camp mountains, the rebels might not be able to defend it!
Liu Ruosi's face was gloomy and she suddenly turned her eyes and stared at Guo Zhiyuan with a grin and said, "I was almost deceived by you, a cunning child! The imperial court could not move without any movement. Besides, the sea surface of the coastal sea in Zhangzhou has been blocked by my ship. Unless Shen Yourong grows wings and can fly, it is impossible to take 10,000 elite soldiers to land on the way to Zhangpu under my nose! Today, even if you have a bright tongue, you can't even think of living here!..."
Guo Zhiyuan once again used his "laughing magical skill" and laughed: "Why does General Liu always like to be self-righteous? General Chen Yourong is good at using strange weapons, how can you guess? Even if I came from Zhangpu County, Zhangpu County has been conquered by General Chen's army, and Zhao Bingcheng has also surrendered to the court. Otherwise, how could I appear here without hiding Zhao Bingjian?..."
Liu Ruosi was a little hesitant when she heard Guo Zhiyuan say this. Guo Zhiyuan must have an identity that would not make Zhao Bingjian suspicious, otherwise he would not be able to get in. Could it be that Zhangpu County was really conquered by Chen Yourong?
Guo Zhiyuan also knew that with Liu Ruosi's cunning and suspicious personality, it was impossible for him to persuade him to turn against him out of thin air. He smiled slightly and said, "General Liu, it's not a big deal to believe it or not. It's a false hearing and a true seeing it. Why don't we make an agreement? It's a limit of five days. Today, General Liu will assume that he has never seen me before. I will come again in five days. General Chen Yourong's 10,000 army will also attack the waterzhaishan. General Liu will make another choice at that time. How will the camera do?..."
Liu Ruosi felt more and more excited when he saw Guo Zhiyuan's confident look. After all, Guo Zhiyuan could not have formed a 10,000 army out of thin air in such a short time. However, Guo Zhiyuan's suggestion was good. He pretended that he had never seen Guo Zhiyuan. If Guo Zhiyuan could really bring a 10,000 army in five days, it would not be too late for him to make plans, and there was no loss on both sides. Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! One word is determined!"
