Wu Zheng returned east that day.

He arrived at Fengyang Prefecture and summoned Li Guo.

"I've been resting for more than a month... How about it, do you have the strength to regain your arm with the Tartars again?"

Li Guo sighed softly, "Mr. Li... has the heart but the strength is not enough."

Wu Zheng understood the reason as soon as he heard this. It was nothing more than that when Li Guo attacked Fengyang City, which was guarded by Ajige, he saw that the situation was unfavorable. When the infantry attacked the city wall, he ordered the artillery to fire at the top of the city wall, resulting in less than 3,000 Guangxin Guard soldiers and the city wall guards were covered with artillery fire.

When Wu Zheng heard about this, he did not evaluate or deal with it. From the bottom of his heart, Wu Zheng understood Li Guo's situation at that time.

In other words, Wu Zheng recognized Li Guo's approach, but it was inconsistent with the relationship, but it was reasonable!

But Li Guo was disliked by the Guangxin Guard soldiers, especially the former veterans of the Zhongzhen Camp, who ignored Li Guo from then on, which led to Li Guo being unable to leave the central army's tent in Guangxin Guard.

On the contrary, Gao Yigong became the most important general in the hearts of Guangxin Guard soldiers after Li Guo.

Gao Yigong is already Wu Zheng’s person.

Logically speaking, Wu Zheng should follow the trend.

But Wu Zheng didn't want to do this. Wu Zheng was disdainful of doing it. Moreover, Wu Zheng believed that this was unfair to Li Guo!

Of course, there is another reason. In addition to Li Guo, the former representative of Zhongzhen Camp, there is another person, that is, Mrs. Zhongyi, who has always lived in Hangzhou Prefecture and was "taken by Wu Zheng".

Gao Guiying is the widow of Li Zicheng. In the loyal camp, it is a spiritual existence.

Gao Guiying strongly supports Li Guo, and it’s right, he is an adopted son!

Therefore, both public and private, Wu Zheng did not want to abandon Li Guo.

"Li Guo, you're too worried." Wu Zheng patiently explained, "It's reasonable for the soldiers of Guangxin Guard to have thoughts about Fengyang City... No soldier is willing to be abandoned by the commander who is willing to serve him like a ill-gotten one... But they are all veterans who have followed you for many years, and they know in their hearts... Your response was correct at that time, but you just couldn't make a turn, but you thought you had done something wrong, avoided them, did not explain to them, nor communicated with them your inner guilt... Li Guo, put your heart in mind... You also came from a poor family, and when you reach your current status, you feel arrogant... There is no need to get along with your brothers? This is not bad!"

When Li Guo heard this, he was speechless from the beginning to the end.

But Wu Zheng's last words obviously hurt him. He urgently argued: "As a general, you must keep a distance from the soldiers... to maintain the mystery to make the soldiers feel fearful and to enforce the orders... This is what the military strategy says...!"

"You are wrong!" Wu Zheng interrupted flatly, "The best way to keep orders and prohibitions is to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments... The best way to maintain authority is to let the soldiers understand why they fight... Why they fight to the death!"

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng said angrily: "Don't blind your mind with the emperor's mind... If you still want to control Guangxinwei, then go to the veterans and tell them... If you were also on the city wall at that time, you would still order the fire under the city... because if you didn't fire the cannon, you wouldn't die only three thousand people... but the entire army!"

Li Guo stared at Wu Zheng in a daze and asked in a hoarse voice, "Prince... would I still be in charge of Guangxinwei?"

Wu Zheng slowly calmed down, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Guangxinwei, it has always been yours...but you must understand that you are mine!"

Li Guo suddenly burst into tears. He knelt at Wu Zheng's feet and started crying loudly.

Wu Zheng did not stop him. He understood that Li Guo needed to vent his depression.

After a long time, Li Guo slowly calmed down his crying and sobbed, "Since the prince can trust Li... Li should live up to the prince... Please tell me what do you need Li to do?"

Wu Zheng felt relieved and waved to Huang Changping behind him.

"Gu wants you to lead Guangxinwei westward, first, to assist and cooperate with King Jin to pacify the northwest, and second, to have another task for you... After you arrive in Luoyang..." Wu Zheng pointed to the map spread out by Huang Changping, "Here... maybe there is the wealth accumulated by Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui is now by King Jin, but he will never easily reveal this wealth to King Jin. All you have to do is find this wealth and then... transport it back."

Li Guo frowned slightly and said, "But the King of Jin is also advancing westward. The prince is making good friends with the King of Jin again... Why not let the King of Jin do it on his behalf and save some trouble... After all, it is difficult to hide so much wealth from others... Then the news will reach the King of Jin's ears, and I am afraid... I will be afraid of being taboo to the prince... I will say bluntly, please forgive me!"

Wu Zheng looked at Li Guo and said calmly: "We must hide it from King Jin!"

Li Guo was stunned, and then suddenly realized, thinking that it was true that people died for money and birds died for food. The best friendship is vulnerable in the face of so many wealth!

But Wu Zheng continued: "Not to mention whether there is this wealth or not, just say that if this wealth falls into the hands of King Jin, what do you think King Jin will deal with it?"

Li Guo thought, "With the character of King Jin, he would use this wealth for the Great Western Army, or purchase food and grass or buy weapons... and even hand over the wealth to the court..."

"That's right!" Wu Zheng nodded, "But what kind of court is that... a group of worms who claim to be pure and innocent are even more greedy than profiteers... Do you understand why Gu hid it from King Jin?"

Li Guo nodded in confusion first and then shook his head.

Wu Zheng said angrily: "Only money can only be given a good place to clean up its dirty and bloody... I want to choose a proper person and use it to help the poor people newly affiliated in Jiangbei prefectures."

Li Guo then recalled it. It turned out that the King of Wu was also afraid that the money would be known to the court and would cause great trouble.

Not only did he misunderstand Wu Zheng for his mistakes, he became red in his face.

"The last general obeys the order... The last general will never let down the prince's entrusted!"

Wu Zheng sighed, "Go... do it well, don't lose the reputation of the King of Breaking!"

"Yes!" Li Guo replied excitedly. At this moment, he suddenly understood why this young man, who was nearly two rounds younger than him, could rise up in just a few years and be supported by countless people, even if he died.

If you are successful, you will benefit the world, occupy a high position, and be approachable!

But I thought about maintaining mysticism to maintain authority among the soldiers... it’s ridiculous, it’s ridiculous!

Li Guo suddenly had a sudden enlightenment. Yes, if the soldiers all understand who to fight for and who to die for, is it worth dying, then is authority still necessary?

What the general needs to do is choose the best method to let them die, die less, and die more valuable.

Li Guo developed another enlightenment. In this way, can the generals still follow the generals?

Because the soldiers all know whether to fight or not, or fight to the death, they only need the tactics of the generals, not authority.

The court no longer has to be afraid of the generals holding heavy troops, so naturally there is no need to use various means to restrain the generals leading the troops.

How can such an army fail to win?
