Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 37 Birds fly outside the city

Li Guo sighed and explained: "I want Brother He to know that the troops from the leader of the king have lost a lot in fighting against the government army recently, only 6000 to [-] people are left.

That Wang Zuogua only lost a few hundred men, and then fled quickly, not daring to fight with the army, so he had more than ten thousand men, but not many soldiers capable of fighting, that is, he was rich. "

He Jinzhao nodded. Although the rebels gathered together, they did not have a unified command.

"I don't know who's brother Li Guo lives under?"

"Zi Shi is the same as my uncle Li Zicheng, under the hands of the leader Bu Zhan Ni.

My nephew is the captain of the eighth team, and his team is about the same as Brother He's. "

Except for a few fierce people, most of the rebels took nicknames to avoid implicating their clansmen and digging up their ancestors' graves.

Both Li Guo and Li Zicheng had changed their names. He Jinzhao didn't know their previous names at all, he only knew that they were both men from Mizhi.

Mizhi's man is not famous.

But Mizhi's mother-in-law is quite famous.

He Jinzhao nodded: "This is not muddy, how many troops does he have?"

"The number of people in the eighth team varies, but it is 6000 in total. Because most of us in the eighth team are neighbors and have never experienced too many wars, so there are more people gathered."

"Oh, so it is."

Li Guo was a little uncertain and said: "Brother He asked this, could it be that he wants to take refuge in the mud?"

"I have such an idea." He Jinzhao pointed to his chest and said:
"After all, I don't have many people under my command. They are all hungry people and have no fighting power, so I want to seek refuge with a leader first.

Besides, we are postmen, so we are naturally closer than others. "

Li Guo:? ? ?
The people under your command are still said to have no fighting power!
That's really a bit of self-deception, you haven't seen how bad the fighting power of the rebel army outside is.

This product is afraid of comparison.

"Brother He, since I have this idea, I will report it to the higher authorities."

"Very good."

He Jinzhao nodded in satisfaction, and stayed with Li Guo for a meal.

Day two.

In Ganquan County, there are still postmen riding horses out to investigate the surroundings.

On the city wall, the four posts have already started their daily weight-bearing running exercises, and each of them is wearing leggings.

He Jinzhao routinely ran ahead, shouting one two one.

Many people in Ganquan County are used to this scene.

He Jinzhao glanced outside the city, where a few lonely birds were circling among the trees.

He stopped.

Not right.

Because of the famine, a lot of bird nests were taken out.

But in the end there are still fish that slip through the net.

On normal days, when running at this point, the birds would chirp in the trees instead of hovering over the trees.

At the third whistle, Qianzong Dang Shousu naturally stopped, signaling the people behind him to continue running.

"Captain, what's the matter?"

He Jinzhao turned around and leaned against the city wall: "Something is wrong outside the city."

"What's wrong?" Dang Shousu suddenly became nervous.

That He Zan is the direct son of He Huchen, the general of Ningxia, and he will definitely not be willing to let him fall into the den of thieves.

Officials!

The army must have come.

Who can beat the official army?
"Don't be nervous." He Jinzhao was doing chest stretching exercises: "Did you see those birds?"

"Saw."

"When we usually run, we don't keep circling. We have already run the third lap."

Dang Shousu looked at the bird again, it was indeed so.

"There are people ambushing outside the city. It seems that they want to make a surprise attack while we are out of the city to cut firewood."

After listening to He Jinzhao's analysis, Dang Shousu also turned around, not looking outside the city:
"Captain, what do you say?"

"What should we do?" He Jinzhao supported the walls of the city wall: "They all hit the door, of course it's them!"

Liu Zongmin stopped in his tracks: "Captain, what's your name?"

He Jinzhao looked at the confidants in front of him, Liu Zongmin, Liu Erhu, Dang Shousu, and Gao Yigong.

He Zan, who is not a confidant, is also on the side.

"An unknown number of living people have come from outside the city, they are enemies rather than friends."

Everyone looked dignified.

Just sent off the messengers of the rebel army yesterday, and today a large number of people came from outside the city.

That was a bit of a coincidence.

He Zan thought to himself, it can't be his father who came, right?
If the officers and soldiers attacked by force, wouldn't it be that they broke their own schemes!
But if the army came, he would be more confident in persuading He Jinzhao to surrender.

I'm afraid that if the fish dies and the net is broken, his life will be in danger.

"Captain, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time." Liu Erhu's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Just kill the officers and soldiers and let the captain see his own ability.

Coupled with the military training methods taught by the captain, even if the time is short, it is not impossible to give it a try.

He Jinzhao looked at the people surrounding him: "What do you think?"

"Fight." Dang Shousu said directly: "You have to let your subordinates see the blood."

"Ah, listen to the captain."

"Yes." He Jinzhao nodded solemnly: "It doesn't matter if it's the officers or anyone who comes, I'll see the real chapter under my hand."

"Hey, captain, you haven't asked my opinion yet."

"Your opinion is not important." He Jinzhao shook his head.

"Why doesn't it matter?" He Zan hurriedly patted his own chest: "If it's my father who came to beat you, you can use me as a bargaining condition, there's no need to fight against the officers and soldiers.

I admit that your He Jinzhao's training method is refreshing to me. You wholeheartedly want to be a traitor, you are lofty, you are amazing!

But my father's subordinates are all veterans of many battles. To be honest, you are no match.

If you want me to say, it's better to surrender to my father, and then you will rebel after your strength is strong. "

Several people were all stunned by He Zan's words.

"Put away your little thoughts and surrender to the officers and soldiers, we won't survive."

"Why can't you survive? My father is protecting you."

"Your father is a general!"

He Zan became dumb all of a sudden.

He Jinzhao glanced at He Zan who was secretly sad: "This battle is our first battle with the government army. Even if your father comes, I have to let him know the pain!"

Liu Erhu clenched his fists and said viciously: "The captain is right, isn't our preparation these days just to do something with the dog day's officers and soldiers?
Dang Shousu also said harshly: "Now that the end is coming, if you look forward and look backward again, then wait for death!"

He Zan didn't say anything, these people really wanted to be traitors.

He Jinzhao leaned against the corner of the wall: "I don't know how many enemies there are outside the city, and the sentinel cavalry have not returned yet, so be prepared for them to be silenced.

The only thing I am sure of is that the group of people outside the city wants to take advantage of the opportunity when we go out of the city to chop firewood and attack us suddenly, so that we are not passive. "

"Captain, just tell me what to do?" Liu Erhu held the hand ax desperately.

"First, make sure that there are no internal responses in the city. The four city gates must be in our hands." He Jinzhao gestured with a stick:
"Liu Zongmin, you lead the second sentry to patrol the streets, whoever dares to take the opportunity to make trouble, should be arrested immediately and tied up and gagged."

"Yes."
