Chapter 383 Between brothers
Without any surprises, Li Dingguo crashed head-on into Qin Yu's pocket, rushing left and right, but he could not escape from Qin Yu's encirclement.
When the Cavalry Army and Xuanwu Army arrived, Li Dingguo finally calmed down and curled his subordinates into a group, with the periphery of resisting horses and trapping horse pits, and he acted like he was dying.
Lin Chunhong ordered the soldiers to shout at the periphery many times, but Li Dingguo ignored it and just stepped up the defense.
Lu Shiming volunteered: "Governor, my subordinates have been in the bandits' nest for several years. I asked myself that the bandits' habits are clear. It is better to let my subordinates go to Li Ding's state camp and convince him to surrender."
Lin Chunhong refused without thinking, "You are my right-hand man, how can you take risks alone? Then Li Dingguo is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his mind is not yet established. What should I do if I hurt you impulse?"
"Governor..." Lu Shiming did not give up and wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Lin Chunhong:
"There are already candidates to persuade the surrender, so there is no need for the landing station to make a move."
"who?"
"Ainengqi!" Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "It's just for today to take him from afar."
Lu Shiming was shocked and opposed: "Governor, you must not. Ai Nengqi was not willing to surrender. How could he be a lobbyist for the Governor?"
"Otherwise, I have observed Ainengqi these days and found that since the Battle of Ruzhou, he has been quite upset and no longer as bright as before. His thoughts may be different from the time he was. So I will send him there. Even if he doesn't come back, he and Li Dingguo will not fly out of our palms."
...
Ai Nengqi was always led by Lin Chunhong, from Jiajinkou to Ruzhou, from Ruzhou to Beizikou, and then from Beizikou to Nanzhao County.
During the Battle of Ruzhou, Ainengqi saw with his own eyes that Sun Kewang was defeated by the attack of the Cavalry Army, like birds and beasts scattered. When he entered Ruzhou City, he saw that the bodies piled up like mountains under Ruzhou City, almost filling the moat.
The corpses were dressed in simple clothes, none of them were wearing armor, and a very small number of them held big swords and spears in their hands. At first glance, they were the people who had just left their labor. Needless to ask, Zhang Xianzhong was playing the trick of driving the people to attack the city again.
In the past, as the commander of tens of thousands of people, he naturally disagreed with the corpses and even believed that in order to win, driving the people to attack the city was the best strategy. However, this time, as a prisoner, when he saw the corpse again, he felt a little unbearable.
They are also human beings, they have parents, wives and children!
For the first time, Ainengqi had the idea of pity. Once this idea was born, it could not be curbed and kept lingering in his heart, making him regret it.
In the past, he would comfort himself by surviving his life, but now, he thought, should he fight with hundreds of thousands of people for his life?
Later, when he passed by the village destroyed by Zhang Xianzhong, the tragic situation of the people deeply stimulated him. He kept asking himself, was it right or wrong to take them to the world with him?
Regret and confusion were intertwined, making him almost crazy. At this moment, Lin Chunhong called him to his face and said to him: "I haven't met Li Dingguo for several months, right? Now Li Dingguo is right in front of me, you go there!"
Ai Nengqi silently accepted Lin Chunhong's order without saying anything.
Of course, Ainengqi knew what Lin Chunhong wanted him to do. As early as in Jiajinkou, he knew that he would face today's embarrassment sooner or later.
When he staggered toward Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo jumped up, hugged his shoulder, and shouted: "Third Brother! Lin Chunhong actually tortured you like this!"
During this period, Ai Nengqi was overly worried, with white hair appearing on his temples and a gray face, which was far from the high spirits he had at the time. No wonder Li Ding Congress thought that Lin Chunhong tortured him.
Ainengqi smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "It's not about Lin Chunhong's business. I feel uncomfortable in my heart when I am in the Jingzhou army."
"Third brother! Is Lin Chunhong asking you to come and persuade me to surrender? I think you shouldn't go back, let's rush out and go to Yichuan to find your adopted father!" Li Dingguo said anxiously.
"It's useless. Lin Chunhong personally led Xuanwu Army and the Cavalry Army outside, and there were more than 10,000 bow soldiers, totaling more than 20,000 troops. How could he rush out? Moreover, in Xuanwu Army, there are so many thunderbolt cannons. Once launched, I see that none of these more than 2,000 troops will be spared."
"This..." Li Dingguo had experienced the bombardment of the flowering bomb in Biyang, and was still scared and could not speak.
Ainengqi continued: "The reason why Lin Chunhong suppressed the cannon was that he wanted to surrender you."
Li Dingguo suddenly felt a little angry and said loudly: "Third Brother! The adoptive father treats us as kind as a mountain. How can you be a lobbyist for Lin Chunhong? I will never surrender!"
Ainengqi looked at Li Dingguo's face like a child, feeling unbearable and sighed: "Oh! It's good to be young! Dingguo, the third brother asked you, "You said that your adoptive father took us to rebel, is this wrong path?"
Li Dingguo was young and thought about some battle formations every day. He didn't know much about other things. When he heard Ainengqi say that Zhang Xianzhong was wrong, he immediately said angrily: "I don't know if my adoptive father was wrong. I only know that if I hadn't been my adoptive father, I would have starved to death. Maybe I would have been eaten by others. Third brother, why are you not like this? Your adoptive father saved you, so you can't be ungrateful!"
Ainengqi said: "The adoptive father treats our brothers as much as a mountain, and the third brother never forgets this for a moment. But when will it be the end of the day rebellion, war, and wandering? Dingguo, have you ever thought about what you are fighting every day? "
Li Dingguo gritted his teeth and said, "The government is full of corrupt officials. If we don't give us a way out, we have to beat him."
"What if I kill all the corrupt officials in the world?" Ai Nengqi asked.
Li Dingguo was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer Ai Nengqi. After a long silence, Fang whispered: "I want every commoner to have a meal. Don't faint on the ground like me and almost get eaten."
Ainengqi said: "Dingguo, to be honest, have you killed unarmed people? Have you snatched the food from the people?"
Li Dingguo suddenly felt heartbroken, remembering a past incident: he snatched the food from an old man. The old man was not afraid of the steel knife at his hand and tried his best to snatch it back. He angrily cut off the old man's head with the steel knife. The old man's head rolled aside, and still stared at him with hatred.
He would never forget the hatred look and linger in his heart for the rest of his life.
He was silent for a while, and Fang Gu said stutteringly: "Third Brother, I have snatched grain and killed the people!"
