Halfway up the mountain, in the great hall.
Guo Xiaozheng led a group of generals and sat down. The defense at the foot of the mountain had been arranged properly, and there was no need to fear the attack of the soldiers for the time being.
The reason why Guo Xiaozheng insisted on gathering all the leaders in the great hall was because everyone was in a panic and was in a mess. If he wanted to resist the attack of the soldiers, the first thing he had to do was to stabilize the morale of the army. Only by stabilizing the morale of the army and making everyone fight with all their strength could they have a chance of survival.
Otherwise, they would lose without a doubt.
Guo Xiaozheng's gaze swept across the people below. At this moment, he could see the panic and nervousness of the leaders. Because Shen Biao was the backbone of everyone.
With Shen Biao around, everything was fine.
Shen Biao was dead, and the people were in a mess.
Guo Xiaozheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Silence!"
The crowd fell silent after hearing this. Their gazes shifted toward Guo Xiaozheng, waiting for him to speak.
Guo Xiaozheng said slowly, "Everyone, the First Master is dead. Whether it is you or me, we are all very sad. When the First Master was alive, he took care of us well. Because of him, we had a place to live, and we were not swept away by the chaos. Now that the First Master is dead, he shouted for us to avenge him when he died. "
"This grudge must be avenged!"
"If we don't take revenge, we are not human."
Guo Xiaozheng's words were powerful, but everyone frowned when they heard this. Because in the current situation, it was not easy to win. The soldiers were coming aggressively.
Guo Xiaozheng saw everyone's expression, but he was not anxious. Shen Biao was not here, and the soldiers were pressuring. It was normal for them to be nervous. Guo Xiaozheng did not find it strange.
If he said a few words and the morale of the army was stabilized, then it would be too fake.
Guo Xiaozheng said, "I can understand everyone's thoughts. It is not easy to take revenge. However, I have some matters that I wish to discuss with everyone here. After I am done, everyone can make their own decisions. "
"Military Advisor, please speak!"
In the crowd, a leader spoke.
The rest of the leaders echoed, waiting for Guo Xiaozheng to speak.
Guo Xiaozheng said, "Fang Tanbing!"
"Present!"
Fang Tanbing stood up and said.
Fang Tanbing was in his forties and could be considered old. However, he was one of the first to follow Shen Biao. On Golden Mountain, he was also a senior.
He was one of the leaders of the Gold Mountain Bandits.
Guo Xiaozheng said, "If I remember correctly, you followed the First Master down the mountain to plunder twenty-five times. You killed your way into the Wang Family, which used to be a wealthy merchant in Jiuquan County, and killed 65 people. You even kidnapped three women to enjoy yourself in the mountains. In the end, the three women all died of illness on the mountain. Apart from that, you also followed the First Master to raid Jiuquan County and rob the government and the shops in the county, right? "
"Yes!"
Fang Tanbing answered without hesitation.
He said in a deep voice, "Military Advisor Guo, what are you trying to say by bringing up these matters?"
Guo Xiaozheng smiled and waved his hand to appease Fang Tanbing, "Don't worry, I will explain it clearly."
After that, Guo Xiaozheng called out again, "Xu Shan!"
"Here!"
Xu Shan stood out again.
Xu Shan was in his thirties and was quite a strong warrior. He was also one of the leaders in the mountain.
Guo Xiaozheng said, "Xu Shan, you haven't been in Golden Mountain for the longest time, but it has been six or seven years. During the time you were on Golden Mountain, you went down the mountain with the First Master and slaughtered more than a hundred people from the Zhou family in Jiuquan County. In the fight with the government, you also killed nearly two hundred government soldiers. Am I right? "
"Yes!"
Xu Shan also nodded and answered.
He didn't ask Guo Xiaozheng why he mentioned these things. He just stood to the side.
Guo Xiaozheng's expression was calm and he continued to speak. He called out one by one and explained the crimes of each of them. Moreover, the hands of these leaders were all bloody. They had killed many people and soldiers. In fact, there were even cases of robbery. These were not minor crimes.
Guo Xiaozheng explained everyone's situation.
That was Guo Xiaozheng's ability.
He thoroughly investigated everyone's situation, and there was not the slightest bit of carelessness, nor the slightest mistake.
After Guo Xiaozheng said it, he looked at the leaders of the Golden Mountain Bandits and said in a deep voice, "All of you have committed serious crimes. Now that the government is here, do you think the government will forgive your crimes? If the government forgives your crimes, then how will Ping Xi Du Qi, who came to Jiuquan County, explain to the people and establish a foothold in Jiuquan County? "
"Everyone, what do you think?"
There was a faint smile on Guo Xiaozheng's lips, and he looked very calm.
At this moment, he was full of confidence.
Because he knew that these people would listen to him.
Following Guo Xiaozheng's words, everyone present had a serious expression on their faces. They were all incomparably nervous. Originally, these people's faces were full of panic and panic. It was so much so that many people already had the intention of surrendering and not fighting. But now that they heard Guo Xiaozheng's words, their hearts sank.
They were all burdened with murder cases.
They all had blood on their hands.
Would the government spare them? That was impossible.
In particular, these people were not kind men and women. When they realized their situation and knew that they had no way out, the expression on their faces gradually changed from solemn to fierce.
Since there was no way out, they could only fight.
That was everyone's attitude.
Fang Tanbing gritted his teeth and said, "Military Counselor, this is our situation. I don't want to say anything more. Just give us the order. We will do whatever you arrange and fight with the government. "
Xu Shan also said, "Military Counselor, give the order."
"Military Counselor, please give the order."
"Military Counselor, please give the order."
…
Everyone spoke in unison. Without exception, they had already chosen to fight. Because in the current situation, they had to fight in order to protect themselves.
That was their situation.
Hearing their words, Guo Xiaozheng showed a bright smile on his face.
It was done!
He had stabilized the morale of the troops.
This was not a clever trick. He simply explained the situation and told everyone that the government did not accept them. In this way, their retreat was cut off.
Therefore, they had no choice but to fight.
Guo Xiaozheng said in a low voice, "Since everyone wants to fight, then we will do our best. In this battle, we will not only avenge the first boss, but we will also protect Jinshan and ourselves. Only through this battle can we show our might and defeat the government's army. Only then can we continue to stay in Jinshan and live a good life. Therefore, we must fight with everything we have. "
"Fight with everything we have!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
…
Everyone spoke again.
Everyone cheered loudly. Their voices calling for battle grew louder and louder, and their momentum was magnificent. Most of their fighting spirit had been ignited. Even if they were at a disadvantage, they had to fight.
Guo Xiaozheng nodded. He was very satisfied with everyone's attitude. He continued, "Since you are all willing to fight, then go and comfort your subordinates and encourage them. You must tell your brothers that we have no choice but to fight. That is the only way we can continue to live. As long as our soldiers are united, we can still fight. We can resist the government and achieve the final victory. "
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone answered in unison and went to prepare.
