Late at night.

"The general has an order, to be careful of those thieves outside, we must strictly guard the city, brothers, those thieves outside can't grow rabbit tails, there is still half a year's grain stored in the city, as long as it is guarded for two months, reinforcements will arrive. ”

"Wow. ”

"Wow. ”

Above the city of Dengxian County, the officers guarding the city patrolled back and forth, many sergeants were wearing cloth armor, and some children looked like they were fourteen or fifteen years old.

Suddenly, several figures flashed through the night, and the sergeant on patrol glanced back.

"Strange, I think I saw someone flash past here. ”

"Being talked nonsense, where is there a ...... here"

The sergeant in the front row turned his head and said, and before he could finish speaking, a sharp blade went through his throat......

"Thorny ......"

Rub click.

Before the sergeant behind could speak, a figure had already reached behind him, covering his mouth with one hand, and twisting his arm instantly broke the neck of the patrol sergeant.

"Move fast and follow the plan. ”

"Wow. ”

The small wall of Deng County is short, only about four stories high, and it is not easy for ordinary people to climb it with their bare hands, but if you change to a "professional", this wall is almost non-existent.

"The general has ordered that fifty men must be gathered before dawn. ”

"The subordinates understand that within half an hour, the task will be completed. ”

The night passed quickly, and the arrival of the war kept the people in the city awake at night, and they didn't know much about Miwen's attitude towards the people in the city, for fear that she was a tyrant and would order the slaughter of the city after breaking the city, so rumors inevitably spread in the city, and the attitude towards the rebel army was also good and bad.

After dawn, the scene in front of him startled all the soldiers and civilians in the city.

Fifty corpses, neatly hung on the city walls, all of them were soldiers defending the city, and there was fuel on the walls to write a sentence.

If there is no way to storm Qin, he will be punished by heaven, and he will open the city to surrender, but he can be safe.

"This ...... How so. ”

"These rebels are really ghosts, out of nowhere, coming and going without a trace. ”

This matter soon "exploded" among the people, the words were terrifying, the rumors were even more terrifying, for a while, the rumors about the rebel army have spread all over Deng County, some people say that they are possessed by ghosts and gods, they can fly the eaves and walk the wall, kill people in the shadowless, some people say that it is the tyranny Qin oppressed the people, and was punished by God, and some people are afraid that they will be burned, they are very afraid, and they want to escape from the city, and even many people gather at the gate of the official mansion, and the respected elders in the city think about the lives of the people of a county, and ask the county to order the city to surrender.

Barrack.

"Mancang, this mission is well done. ”

"Now that the hearts of the people in the city are fluctuating, I think it won't be long before those wine bags and rice bags will surrender. Xue San said.

"Old Ye, do this...... Isn't there something wrong, although we are attacking the city, but this is not to intimidate the people, if we capture the city in the future, I am afraid that the people will also resist us. Shangguan Jian persuaded him.

"What you said is not wrong, it is indeed a little inappropriate to do this, but if you can avoid a devastated fight, I think it is still worth it, not to mention, I think that the governance of the city, can not be too lenient, can not be too strict, to be both grace and power, two-pronged, we are now making the people feel afraid, but it does not mean that we are really brutal people, entering the city, we implement benevolent government, appease the people, the effect has been better than the original. Ye Shikai explained.

"I see, if you want to promote and suppress first, Lao Ye, I didn't expect you to not only command well, but also be so knowledgeable in governance. ”

"It's just speculation, as long as you stand in the position of the people, it's easy to think of a way. ”

"In addition, compared to the fear felt by the people, I think what is more uneasy now is the county commander and the guard of Deng County, if my prediction is good, it will not be long before they will open the city and surrender ......."

"Report, the county commander of Deng County led the defenders in the city to open the city and surrender. Suddenly, one of the guards hurriedly ran into the tent and said.

"Look, I just said it wouldn't be long before they surrendered. Ye Shikai said lightly, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Really, fake. Shangguan Jian slapped the table vigorously and shouted excitedly.

"It's true, the county commander and the guard knelt at the gate of the city, and many people came out. ”

"Great. ”

"Let's go, let's go see. ”

………………………………………………………

"Are you the county magistrate of Deng County? Ye Shikai led the team to the gate of the city, and an old man was kneeling in front of him, holding the big seal of Deng County in both hands, wanting to present it to him.

"It is under Xia that I have long admired the general's name, and I also ask the general to keep his promise and protect the people of Deng County. The old man cried and said, his tone was more humble than pleading, Ye Shikai had the power of life and death in their hands, and with just one sentence, he could decide the life and death of tens of thousands of people.

"Hurry up, please. Ye Shikai personally dismounted and helped the old man up.

"Conquer the city, each for his own master, I am not a cruel person, how can I kill innocents indiscriminately, I can use my life as a guarantee, if I break the oath, I will be damned, as for these soldiers who defend the city, I will never be cruel, if you want to join us, I am very welcome, if you don't want to fight, each person will be given a tael of silver, go home and live in peace, and the life of the people in the city will be the same, I have decreed that the sergeants are strictly forbidden to trespass on people's houses, rob people's property, and behead those who violate it. Ye Shikai said resolutely in front of the people of the city, word by word, and after finishing speaking, the old man in front of him was already in tears.

"General Ye's benevolence and righteousness are really the first person in the world. ”

"You are an elder, I will call you a senior, it's windy outside, let's not talk outside, senior, enter the city for a while, okay. ”

"Okay, okay, General Ye, please. ”

The people heard Ye Shikai's assurance, and their hanging hearts fell down, although the city changed hands, but the people's lives remained unchanged as usual, and even more stable than before.

"Lao Ye, your trick is really high, just kill fifty of them, and let the county commander obediently open the city and surrender, by the way, what should we do next. After this incident, the sergeants in the battalion admired Ye Shikai even more, and some even compared him to the "heavenly man".

"The guards of Deng County are indeed incompetent, but this county commander has some skills, he is highly respected in the county, and he responds to every call, and the most important thing is that he implements benevolent governance, and his reputation among the people is not bad, so before the lord does not send a new county order, I think it is better for him to govern it first. ”
