There is a saying that money can make the devil push the mill. As long as the money is in place, nothing can be done.

This is even more true for these Qing soldiers.

They put their heads on their belts all day just to be able to eat enough for three meals a day and to make money.

As for those who stand out, it’s almost the same for those who make outstanding mistakes to coax ghosts. They don’t believe it anyway. Whoever loves to believe it should believe it.

There is nothing in this world that is more real than silver. If there is one, it will definitely be more silver.

Li Guoying quickly calmed the Qing soldiers' emotions by losing money and avoiding disasters with one move. The chaos in the military camp quickly disappeared.

But the tragic situation in the city cannot be cured no matter how much money it costs.

The people had just experienced the plague and were in panic. At this time, the earthquake caught up with the earthquake. It was really raining all night.

Many people who woke up from their sleep and fled to the streets cried bitterly at the collapsed houses.

The feeling of losing a loved one makes them feel more heartbroken than the feeling of losing their home.

What else in this world is more touching than the love of relatives?

This was their last comfort in troubled times, but God ruthlessly took it away.

Relentless, God is really ruthless.

Of course, Li Guoying had no time to pay attention to the joys, sorrows, and joys of these ordinary people.

What he really worried about was that after this earthquake, Hanzhong's urban defenses were still as stable as before.

After all, the Ming army was led by Li Dingguo, a fierce general. This man has a lot of experience in leading troops to fight, and he may be caught by him as long as he reveals a flaw.

If there is a problem with the city defense in Hanzhong City, it can definitely be considered a bad news for Li Guoying.

As a result, he really guessed it.

After this earthquake, many collapsed in the city walls of Hanzhong City, and some places even collapsed directly.

There was also a crack at the city gate. Although it could be used after some repairs, Li Guoying didn't dare to make this bet.

If Li Dingguo loses the bet, his life will be in danger.

What's even more terrifying is that if Li Dingguo uses the tactic of digging authentic coffins to bomb the city, he will be more comfortable and easy to use.

This collapsed city wall was blown up and could not collapse directly?

hiss!

When Li Guoying thought of this, he gasped.

He had already made complete plans. He ordered people to paint a portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and planned to open the portrait and hang it on the top of the city when Li Dingguo attacked the city.

In this way, Li Dingguo will be in a dilemma.

If Li Dingguo ordered the siege of the city, it would be disrespectful to Emperor Taizu, disloyal to the Ming Dynasty, and his heart as a traitor was obvious.

It would be embarrassing if Li Dingguo hesitated and did not choose to attack in the end, because this would mean that he was afraid of the enemy and did not dare to fight.

No matter which type it is, the censors of the Ming court would not miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and would definitely jump out and participate in the first book of Li Dingguo.

They looked down on Li Dingguo, who was born into a thief, but they couldn't find a chance to impeach Li Dingguo because he has made many military achievements recently.

Once they are almost found, they will definitely start spraying without hesitation.

Sometimes it is so mysterious when you come from such things.

Scholars look down on mud legs, which is deeply engraved in the bones, and even if they are hidden, they cannot be concealed.

In addition to his personal efforts, Li Dingguo was able to reach this day, and he was inseparable from the emperor's trust.

Once the emperor loses the trust of the emperor, it is hard to say where Li Ding will go.

But all these beautiful assumptions come to an abrupt end at this moment.

All Li Guoying's calculations are based on the equality between the two sides.

Or when the Qing army was slightly at a disadvantage.

But now it is Li Dingguo, which may indicate that the army has an absolute advantage.

Faced with the earthquake, several Hanzhong City where the walls collapsed, Li Dingguo was probably able to take it down with just a hook finger?

At this time, the pressure reached Li Guoying's side.

Of course, he could also hang the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang on the top of the city as planned.

But could Li Dingguo still tolerate seeing such a broken city?

What if Li Dingguo doesn't take this trick and really orders the siege? Wouldn't Li Guoying have to wash his neck and wait for death?

Everyone in the world knows that Li Dingguo is a ruthless person. Once he falls into Li Dingguo's hands, don't ask for the whole body. Beheading is light and he may be executed by Lingchi.

Li Guoying dared not gamble, you should know that this means the lives of his family and his family.

If you lose the bet, it will be all over.

Of course, one thing is certain, that is, Li Guoying still has a way out.

If he chooses to give up Hanzhong and retreat to Guanzhong, at least the problem in front of him will be solved.

What he lost was nothing more than a Hanzhong City, but the main army was preserved.

The green mountains left are there, and you are not afraid of burning firewood.

If you fight with Li Dingguo to the death, you will probably end up in a miserable end. Li Guoying generally understands the truth.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Li Guoying finally chose to surrender to reality.

He really didn't have the courage to fight Li Dingguo with the broken city wall.

Running away is the most correct and only choice now.

In this way, his move to distribute silver to the soldiers just now seemed reasonable.

If the money was not distributed, let alone gathering troops, most of the soldiers would have to flee overnight.

Now he can at least assemble the army as soon as possible and evacuate in time before Li Dingguo comes.

As he thought about it, Li Guoying couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Not long ago, he was still dreaming of separatist rule in the feudal states, thinking that he could become king.

But now it seems that he is nothing after leaving the Qing court.

Not to mention Li Dingguo, any powerful general is enough for him to drink a pot.

In fact, Li Guoying was defeated when Feng Shuangli attacked Hanzhong last time. If Feng Shuangli had not underestimated the enemy and burned the boat, it would be hard to say who would win and lose.

Now, Li Dingguo led a large army to fight, and caught up with the plague and earthquake, which completely awakened Li Guoying.

Now he only wants to rely on the Qing court and no longer has the intention to become independent.

The most important thing is that one knows one’s own wisdom and can recognize oneself.

Although Li Guoying had no other skills, his ability to kneel down and lick the Qing dynasty master was awesome.

As long as he understands this principle and can lower his posture, it is still easy to settle down as the governor.

It was the next series of battles that were a bit annoying.

Li Dingguo would definitely not be satisfied with taking down a Hanzhong City, and would definitely continue to lead troops north to attack Guanzhong.

Li Guoying can give up Hanzhong but cannot give up Guanzhong.

That is the foundation of his existence.

If even Guanzhong was lost, Li Guoying would really become a betrayal dog. Anyone could control him at will.
