Chapter 30 Ambush
The Dashun Army came over, like a dark cloud covering everyone's hearts. The dream of getting promoted and wealth was just beginning, and everyone was facing unprecedented challenges, and everyone was in panic.
Sun Cheng and Lu Yong were both seriously injured, but they were reluctant to support him and came to the temporary conference room. Everyone sat together to discuss solutions.
"The fourth brother, I heard that Li Yan is a famous general in the camp, both wise and brave. Such a person is not easy to deal with." Sun Cheng sighed.
Gao Hongtu couldn't help but say, "Yes, we are not many, and there are also a large number of wounded people. Compared with the thief, they just hit the stone with eggs. I think it's better to run away quickly. As far as you can, you can escape."
Xie Bin, who was standing beside him, suddenly said, "It is because we have many wounded people that we cannot escape. Otherwise, wherever these wounded people are, would we ignore these brothers and let them fall into the hands of the thieves?"
"Isn't there a carriage? Put the injured on the carriage."
"Can a carriage run better than a war horse?"
Gao Hongtu said, "As the saying goes, "Love is not in charge of soldiers. Only by giving up can you gain. At the critical moment of life and death, and being so scrupulous will only kill everyone."
"General Gao said it nicely. There are a few wounded people here. Who do you want to give up?" Tang Zhanxiong asked without hesitation.
"I'm talking about those wounded soldiers. Do you dare to misinterpret my meaning and want to sow discord?"
"I think you, the old boy, have the intention!"
Gao Hongtu and Tang Zhanxiong said that the smell of gunpowder became stronger. They stood up one after another, rolled up their sleeves, and wanted to do something.
Bang!
Gu Zhenhua slapped the table with a slap, which scared everyone and stopped.
"How did the Ming Dynasty perish? It was just like this intra-fighting and the country was destroyed. Before the enemy came, the people started to argue. Do you want to be an assistant to the Dashun Army?"
Faced with Gu Zhenhua's questioning, Gao Hongtu and Tang Zhanxiong lowered their heads and said nothing. Gu Zhenhua let out a long sigh and said, "The more dangerous it is, the more you should think calmly, use your brain more, and analyze the situation in front of you. I believe that there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain. There must be a solution, but the quarrel will never solve the problem!"
Seeing everyone calm down, Gu Zhenhua said again: "At present, it is definitely not enough to escape alone. We are not only wounded, but also so many supplies. According to the scout's report, Li Yan's subordinates are all cavalry. If we are caught up in the wilderness, we will be a dish, and no one can escape!"
"Fourth brother, you are right. Since you can't run away, you can only fight. Let's fight with Li Yan!" Lu Yong also said.
"Second brother, do we have the capital to work hard?"
Lu Yong was also confused now. He couldn't help scratching his head and said with a wry smile: "The fourth brother, you can't run but you can't run. If you can't fight, you can't fight. This will stump me."
Sun Cheng also smiled and said, "Fourth Lao, if you have any good ideas, just say it, don't be a dumb fan."
Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "Everyone, Li Yan's group must be eaten, and they must win beauty. After solving them, Li Zicheng wants to send troops to chase them. It will take at least one or two days, so there will be time to transfer!"
When everyone nodded frequently when they heard this, Xue Biao couldn't help asking: "Fourth brother, Li Yan has more than a thousand cavalrymen. Do you have any tricks?"
“Not yet.”
"Sir, don't scare us." Xie Bin also said in surprise: "If you don't pay attention, we won't pay attention."
"This is wrong. Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. There are so many of us, can't we come up with an idea? Let's hold a Zhuge Liang meeting now and discuss it carefully!"
...
"Old ancestor, something big is wrong, the thief is coming!"
Kou Gui, who was dozing on the chair, was suddenly awakened. When he heard the word "invasion", he was so scared that he was trembling all over and said hurriedly: "Xiao Fuzi, are you all saying true?"
"That's right, my ancestors, when I was going to the cottage, I heard a few big-headed soldiers discussing the way to meet the enemy."
"How? What can be more important than the prince? These people are so confused!"
The old eunuch Kou Gui hurriedly asked Xiao Fuzi to lead the way, and ran to the conference room panting. When he arrived at the door, the old eunuch barely calmed down.
"Brother Zhongyong, we have something to bother with you."
Gu Zhenhua and others were discussing a combat plan, but suddenly heard the old eunuch's words and frowned.
"Eunuch Kou, we are holding a military meeting, please wait a moment."
"Wait!" Kou Gui was immediately angry, and his sharp voice penetrated the door panel: "Uncle Zhongyong, the prince just appointed an official last night. Are you worthy of the word Zhongyong? The thief is here, and the prince is in a worrying situation. Why don't you keep the prince away quickly? What are you discussing here?"
Hurry!
The door was pushed open, and Gu Zhenhua appeared in front of Kou Gui. His eyes were staring at the old eunuch, and his other hand was pressed on the hilt of the sword, covering his whole body with a layer of evil spirit, which scared Kou Gui couldn't help but take a step back.
"Don't misunderstand, please don't misunderstand. Our family knows your loyalty and righteousness, but the current enemy is at the moment, and the safety of the prince is the most important. Our family thinks that Daemon should protect the prince from going south as soon as possible, rather than wasting time here!"
"Eunuch Kou, what do you think you should?" Gu Zhenhua asked with a sneer.
"Brother Zhongyong, according to our family's wishes, there is no need to select brave and loyal soldiers. Just a dozen people are enough. Disguised and took the prince to go south immediately, so that it is easier to avoid the pursuit of the thieves."
"Then according to my father-in-law's wishes, the remaining brothers and these supplies will be abandoned?"
Kou Gui did not notice the anger in Gu Zhenhua's tone, but continued: "Brother Zhongyong, as long as he arrives in Nanjing safely, what are these people and property? It is not impossible for you to be a marquis and ministers. There will be nothing at that time..."
Just as Kou Gui persuaded Gu Zhenhua, many soldiers around him surrounded him. Although they did not dare to walk forward, they were also watching from a distance, listening to all Kou Gui's words.
Just as the old eunuch was trying hard and still persuading him, Gu Zhenhua waved his hand and told him not to say anything more.
"Eunuch Kou, these brothers and Gu are born and die, and are Gu's greatest wealth. If you want me to abandon anyone, I will not obey you!"
When Gu Zhenhua said this, he raised his voice a little more: "Everyone here has the same life, and he will not become valuable because of his surname Zhu. Working together is the only way for everyone to live. Today, you can abandon your brothers for the purpose of being a marquis and ministers, and tomorrow you can also betray the prince for the sake of high-ranking officials and generous salaries. Gu will never do such a righteous person!"
Before Gu Zhenhua finished speaking, he didn't know which soldier took the lead. Everyone knelt on the ground one after another.
"Master Gu, we did not misunderstand the person. Follow Master Gu and be loyal to Mr. Gu!"
"Follow Mr. Gu and be loyal to Mr. Gu!"
...
The soldiers' sudden shouts scared Kou Gui's face as if he was earthy and could not say a word. Gu Zhenhua pressed the hilt of the sword and smiled warmly on his face, and walked towards the soldiers.
When passing by Kou Gui, Gu Zhenhua said in a low voice: "Eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics. This is the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty. Don't forget your duty!"
The old eunuch's whole body became cold in an instant. This Gu Zhenhua was not a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty at all, but a full-blown Cao Cao!
Of course, Gu Zhenhua would not care what an old eunuch thought. This team has completely obeyed his orders, and he is the master of everything.
"Brothers, Gu and everyone share life and death, which will never change. Now the military situation is urgent, and Li Yan's army is less than half a day away from here. Everyone must obey the command and win a beautiful victory!"
After Gu Zhenhua finished speaking, he issued a combat order. They had already agreed on a plan. All the personnel were divided into two parts.
Sun Cheng, Lu Yong and others were seriously injured and could not participate in the war, or even could not transfer for a long distance. Xie Bin and Luan Hu were waiting for fifty people to protect the wounded, as well as He Zhonghou, Mei Junruo, and Ge Jiangshi who had been kidnapped from the capital, went to the back mountain to hide. Time was tight, and after Gu Zhenhua's order was issued, these people had already begun to transfer immediately.
Gu Zhenhua took Gao Hongtu, Tang Zhanxiong, and less than 300 soldiers to deal with Li Yan!
"The two ends of this valley are narrow and wide in the middle, which is most suitable for ambushing. As long as Li Yan is brought in, he will definitely be alive."
"Sir, this is indeed a good place to use troops, but Li Yan may not be fooled easily?" Gao Hongtu said with some concern.
Gu Zhenhua laughed: "Don't worry, the mountain people have their own tricks!"
