    Chapter 25: Right and Wrong, Success or Failure (6) Unknowingly, the Golden Crow fell to the west.  When darkness once again enveloped the earth, Mai Zizhong's mood became more and more restless.  That kind of ominous premonition kept coming like a tide.  As he grows older and has more experience, Mai Zizhong is no longer the reckless young man he was on the battlefield in Goguryeo.  To a certain extent, it is also thanks to Li Yanqing.  If it weren¡¯t for Li Yanqing, maybe Mai Zizhong would have died in the ice and snow of Goguryeo After receiving the reminder from Yuwen Chengdu, Mai Zizhong felt that he seemed to have made another huge mistake.  He underestimated Li Yanqing!  In fact, it can¡¯t be regarded as an underestimation. To be precise, he admires Li Yanqing¡¯s talent very much.  But because he has been in control of western Guangdong for several years, he thinks he knows the situation in western Guangdong better than Li Yanqing, who is unfamiliar with the place.  Such a huge advantage also made Mai Zizhong ignore Li Yanqing's own abilities.  In his opinion, even if the black slang occupied Qinzhou, would it be possible for them to obey Li Yanqing's orders?  But now it seems that Black Slang seems to have surrendered to Li Yanqing!  "Send the order, speed up the march!" Mai Zizhong gave the order again on his horse, and the troops and horses, which were already traveling very fast, increased their speed again in an instant.  Let the slang people solve their own problems.  Even if you want to help Ning Changzhen, you have to do it while ensuring the safety of your home base.  ¡°Otherwise, once Yongzhou falls, he will also lose his foothold in Lingnan At that time, will he rely on Ning Changzhen or seek refuge with Feng An?  The nature is basically the same, which is equivalent to relying on others.  In this way, how can he guarantee Xiao Sui's interests in the Lingnan region?  The Mai family is a loyal family.  Since the beginning of Mai Tiezhang, he has been loyal to Sui Yang.  Even though Empress Dowager Xiao is now in charge of the Sui Dynasty in Qiantang, it is the only bloodline of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty after all, and it is also the orthodoxy of the Sui Dynasty.  Father Mai Mengcai died tragically in the rebellion in order to avenge Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.  Throughout Mai Zizhong's lifetime, his loyalty to the Sui Dynasty has never changed.  Even Yu Wenfeng tried to persuade him not to accept death.  But if you don¡¯t accept death, are you still a descendant of the Mai family?  Mai Zizhong has no choice.  "Sir, would you like to let everyone take a rest?" A general urged his horse forward and whispered beside Mai Zizhong: "The men have been marching for days and have not been able to rest well. It will be embarrassing even if we return to Xuanhua in such a hurry.  Use it" "Yes, after leaving Xuanhua the day before yesterday, we marched all day and night.  Just after two hours of rest, I received news that Xuanhua was in danger.  Mai Zizhong had to immediately order his troops and horses and embark on the way back.  In comparison, during this three-day period, the soldiers only rested for three or four hours Such continuous running has a great impact on morale.  Mai Zizhong didn't know this truth, but he had to harden his heart.  He has quite a lot of confidence in the soldiers he has trained.  If you think about it and insist on it, it shouldn't be a problem.  "It's not that a certain family is cruel, it's actually forced by the situation. Tong Huan sent someone to send a letter, saying that there are rebels around Xuanhua But they probably haven't had time to take action yet, so we have to speed up. As long as we return to Xuanhua,  Even if the rebels intend to attack the city, they will still have some scruples. If possible, they should try to avoid fighting. This place is only two or three hours away from Xuanhua. If the men take a break, they may become more aggressive.  Slow down. Send the order, and let the men work harder After returning to Xuanhua, they can take a good rest." The general couldn't persuade him anymore, so he had to give the order.  Looking at the tired looks of the soldiers, Mai Zizhong himself felt a little intolerable.  Compassion does not command troops.  It seems that my heart is not hard enough.  The army continued to march in the dark night. ??????????????????????? It happened to be raining all night, and while we were walking, it suddenly started drizzling.  The spring rain was still cold, and it became more difficult for the soldiers to march in the rain.  Especially the roads in western Guangdong are extremely muddy after the rain.  Many chariots and horses fell down on the way, and many soldiers even fell to the ground while marching.  "Sir, we can't rush like this anymore!" The generals under his command tried to persuade him one after another, which made Mai Zizhong hesitate.  "Sir, anyway, we are not far from Xuanhua now, and the rebels are about to come"Even if you take action, you can also be informed as soon as possible.  ¡°Besides, aren¡¯t there some soldiers and horses in the city?  The child soldier Cao stayed in the city. The rebels wanted to attack Xuanhua, but they couldn't do it overnight.  "Mai Zizhong thought for a while and felt that these words seemed to make sense. "In that case, my gentlemen, please find a shelter from the rain and rest for a while.  This rain will not last long. After the rain stops, we can set off again By the way, the baggage on the baggage train must be gathered in one place first, leaving some people to guard it.  After returning to Xuanhua City, just send someone over to extract it.  " It is indeed difficult to speed up on such a muddy road with many heavy vehicles. Anyway, it is not too far away from Xuanhua. If some people are left to guard it, there will not be too many problems. After the military order was passed down, the soldiers and horses immediately stopped marching  . However, many soldiers did not even seek shelter from the rain, but simply put their shields under their bodies and sat on the muddy ground. It seemed that everyone was really tired! Mai Zizhong shook his head and sighed helplessly.  In his heart, he had to admire Li Yanqing's method He managed to mobilize himself into such a mess without even using a single soldier. Fortunately, his uncle Yuwen Chengdu was in Xuanhua and saw through Li Yanqing's tricks. Otherwise, not only would he have lost.  Lao Lao, these soldiers will be defeated if they don't do it. After all, most of Xuanhua's soldiers are recruited from the local area. If Li Yanqing really takes over Xuanhua, the consequences will be really disastrous. "Don't sit in the rain."  In the middle, find some shelter from the rain In addition, be alert and don't cause a sneak attack by thieves.  " Li Yanqing was good at using surprise soldiers, and Mai Zizhong had to take precautions. He personally led people to urge the soldiers to take shelter from the rain. But after being busy for a long time, the rain showed no sign of stopping, and instead fell heavier and heavier. Many soldiers were lying down with their clothes on, huddled in the rain.  Falling asleep on the roadside, even Mai Zizhong felt very tired. After confirming that everyone was fine, he found a dry place, leaned against a stone, put the horse on his lap, and closed his eyes to rest.  , Mai Zizhong is also very tired, but he is the coach. At this time, he must maintain strong energy to boost the morale of the boys. Now that he is not far from home, the string in his heart has been tense.  Then he relaxed, making Mai Zizhong relax too "Sir, just after receiving the report from the scouts, the Sui army stopped marching and was resting at the foot of Zuoshuiling, thirty miles away.  "The sudden rain was beyond Li Yanqing's expectation. The weather in western Guangdong is like this. It changes at any time, which is unpredictable. As the saying goes: A great general needs the weather. There is also a saying in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Kong Ming borrowed the east wind.  Haha, it's just a fictional interpretation, it's too far from reality. Li Yanqing can see some of the celestial phenomena in western Guangdong "Mai Zizhong stopped marching?"  " After Li Yanqing was startled, he immediately understood. "This rain came at the right time!  " Just now, he was still cursing the rain at the wrong time, but in the blink of an eye, he changed his statement. "Why did the prince say this?  " Tong Huan couldn't help but asked curiously. Li Yanqing held his hand on the crenel and raised his eyes to look into the dark distance. "Mai Zizhong, relax!  "    "ah?  " "Three days of continuous marching have reached a state of extreme fatigue for the Sui army.  Originally, if he gritted his teeth and persisted, there might have been a fierce battle after arriving in Xuanhua But he took a break.  " Tong Huan felt more and more confused. "Isn't it good to rest? After this period of rest, the Sui army would be more energetic. But listening to Li Yanqing's words "Old Tong, you have never led an army, so you don't have this experience.  The more tired you are, the less likely you are to rest.  If he sends his troops straight down, arrives at Xuanhua and then attacks Xuanhua, there will definitely be a fierce battle.  Think about it, the families of those soldiers are in the city, how can they not attack with all their strength?  But this rest will make your body more tired.  The spirits of the men may be restored a little, but the morale Hehe, Lao Mai is slacking off!  He feels that he will be home soon, so there is no need to be nervous Little does he know that it is easy to relax, but it will be very difficult to become nervous again.  " Tong Huan didn't understand what he heard, but he generally understood that Mai Zizhong stopped marching, which would be of great benefit to his own side without any harm. "Immediately send the order to Luo Hu, and Hei Li's troops will push forward.??Twenty miles.  At the same time, Ming Xiongkuo Haiyu and hundreds of people implemented the second plan Hehe, it is impossible to say that we can solve this battle without losing any blood.  "
