The emperor formulated a policy to treat prisoners preferentially and not to be killed and surrendered. The soldiers who were so angry that they were all very dissatisfied. Awen kicked a Qing soldier kneeling on the ground and scolded: "Why surrender? I have no backbone! How much money can I earn less?"

One-sided killing, because the surrender of the Qing soldiers was soon over. In less than half an hour, none of the three thousand Qing soldiers who were once unpredictable escaped!

"So fast?" He Tengjiao glanced at Li Guo and asked blankly.

"That's so simple?" Li Guo replied blankly.

"This battle is too easy, right?" Gao Yigong, Hao Yaoqi, Liu Tichun, Yuan Zongdi and others looked at each other, their faces full of surprise.

"I report to Your Majesty. The entire Qing army was destroyed. Three hundred and four people from the Qing Han army were captured alive, and I will come to pay the order." Yang Yuan, the general commander of the frontier, came to report the results of the battle after clearing the battlefield.

"It's very boring, I know. Put the horses together, clean the battlefield, and strengthen the alert." Zhu Youlang had no special expression of excitement, and casually told him, stood up and yawned, and walked towards the imperial tent.

"The emperor's appetite is too big, right? Is it boring to kill three thousand soldiers? You must know that they are Qing soldiers." He Tengjiao thought to himself.

Zhu Youlang did feel boring. The Qing soldiers were powerful, but with the power of grenades and mines, they occupied the advantage of the terrain, they killed three thousand soldiers. The monk Yu Geng Zhongming did not cause much trauma at all. What's there to be happy about?

The only thing that made him happy was the bravery of the mountain army. Not only was he running and jumping among the rocks and trees, he was very agile, but he was also very organized during the march and cooperated with him. As for the battle in the mountain, it was much stronger than the imperial guards.

Back at the imperial tent, Zhu Youlang looked at the excited ministers and called Li Guo over: "What do you think about making up for it?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, I am still in a dream. I didn't expect that the powerful Tartars, who are invincible in my eyes, are so vulnerable in the hands of the emperor. If you want to talk about your thoughts, I have three feelings. One is excitement, needless to say; the other is shock, grenades and mines are so powerful; the third is that the military discipline of the imperial guards and mountain troops is strict and their fighting spirit is high. I have led troops for many years and have never trained such a team, and I feel deeply ashamed." Li Guo bowed and replied.

"In addition to the military discipline, fighting spirit, grenades, mines and other factors you just mentioned, there is another most important factor. You have not experienced it. Cedar, looking at your eagerness to try, is it that you have something to say?"

As Zhu Youlang spoke, he saw Gu Yanwu's eyes lit up, his mouth opened and closed, and he looked like he could not let him speak and he could die of anxiety. He smiled in his heart and pointed his general.

"Reply to Your Majesty, I have asked Brothers Rennong and Taichong for advice on military construction. Both of them mentioned the emperor's words, that is, 'The decisive factor of war is people, not weapons.' I have always kept this in my heart. Since I followed Your Majesty, I have all heard and seen, and I have secretly proved that Your Majesty's words. The more I chewed it, the more reasonable it is. What General Li said is reasonable, but it is only a superficial thing. Its essence is the belief and pursuit of soldiers. I wonder if what I said is right?" Gu Yanwu replied.

"Yes, it is faith and pursuit, or it can be called military souls. This is a spiritual thing. My philosophy is that matter determines consciousness, and consciousness has a reaction to matter. My Ming army called the People's Liberation Army, which is to liberate the people enslaved by the Qing court. With this lofty belief and pursuit, the army can exude great combat power. To make up for this, you must understand this carefully and learn from the imperial guards."

Zhu Youlang took over the conversation and said.

After hearing this, Li Guo savored the meaning of the emperor's words, which seemed to have three meanings. First, he continued to let them lead troops, but he just didn't know where the soldiers came from; second, he seemed to want to let some of them carefully review and clear up the thoughts of bandits in the past and keep up with the emperor's ideas and steps; third, he seemed to be the leader of his people.

Thinking of this, he answered honestly: "When you go back to Your Majesty, you are surrendered by He Tushi in Hunan. One is the end of your journey, and the other is also deeply regretting your past behavior. The vast Han people's country was occupied by foreign races. My uncle and nephew's rebellion was the main evil. Fortunately, you are unwilling to abandon your Majesty, and you have taught me earnestly and worked hard to make us do it again. Unfortunately, we have fought with the Qing army for dozens of times, but no victory was achieved, and the morale of the army was greatly affected. Therefore, since we surrendered, we have retreated step by step, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops were less than 1,000. Now, I heard your Majesty's words, and I realized that the fundamental reason for the invincible is that the army has no lofty beliefs and has a thought of how to fight. In the future, I will definitely study hard and learn the method of practicing the imperial guards to strengthen the army, so as to gallop across the battlefield, kill the enemy and make achievements, and live up to Your Majesty's high hopes."

Zhu Youlang only attached great importance to Li Guo when he was the nephew of Li Zicheng. He used to have a higher status in the peasant army than others, but because Li Guo was more educated than others. It can be seen from the fact that Li Guo has the name and nickname, but others only have names and nicknames but no words.

Of course, Li Guo also has a nickname called "A Tiger". He is naturally very powerful in his personal courage. However, in today's wars, he values ​​the culture and wisdom of the generals more. Personal courage is also very important, but he is basically not the first priority.

Sure enough, Zhu Youlang felt very helpful to the reply from Li Guo, who was well-educated and good at thinking.

"Yes, your name is made up for it, and it is very consistent with my way of employing people. Who can be without mistakes without sages? It doesn't matter if you have any mistakes, as long as you can correct them, just like someone who is not sick? It's just cured. Of course, this life is within the scope of tolerance, and it must be based on being loyal to the public. As long as you are loyal to your work, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake; but if you are determined to deceive the king, even if you do it right, I will punish you."

Zhu Youlang used Li Guo's name to play it out.

When he heard this, all the civil and military ministers in the tent had their own thoughts.

Chen Zizhuang naturally had a deep understanding, and Lu Daqi also felt a little guilty and the most uneasy thing was of course Hao Yaoqi.

He always felt that the emperor was talking about himself. In the past, he was the head of these people, and Li Guo could only be ranked second, because he was the nephew of the King of Chuang. Now, according to the emperor's intention, he was all referring to him, and he wanted him to be the head of these people. Why? Do you already have some doubts about yourself?

Also, the word "deceptive" pierced the heart, and the emperor looked at him intentionally or unintentionally. What does this mean? Has the matter been exposed?

Thinking about it again, I felt it was impossible, and the emperor could not know the truth, because all those who knew the truth were dead, except for themselves.
