"Master, we are now in the name of rebuilding the Chu State, and more and more people have seen our righteous army, as the saying goes, the tree is a big move, we are developing so rapidly, the court will definitely react. Another general put forward a different view, indeed, as the old saying goes, "a gun shoots a bird in the head", now there are many rebel armies in all parts of the country, and it is difficult for the imperial army to be completely annihilated for a while, but in order to prevent some rebel armies from becoming too powerful, they will definitely send heavy troops to encircle and suppress them.

"General Chen is right, I think so too, so we can't rush to develop now, but to recruit troops, accumulate money and food, consolidate our territory, and fight against the imperial court. Hua Liandie said lightly, she knew very well that now they are beating the Qin army to the ground, because they were unexpected, they were unprepared, and besides, this is Chu, and the local people support them, the nobles of Chu, but the battle after that will not be so easy.

"I have sent people to prepare the money and grain I have obtained from doing business over the years, these industries are scattered all over the country, managed by my close henchmen, I have asked them to use this money to build weapons and armor, buy war horses, recruit sergeants, and develop our strength as soon as possible, so that the Qin army's rear rebels are frequently active, and it will also buy us more time here. ”

"Oh, the master is far-sighted and admires. ”

"Okay, two generals, leading troops to fight is not what I, a woman, is good at, and the battle ahead still requires the two of you to go all out. ”

"Please rest assured, master, in order to overthrow the rule of the tyrannical Qin and the great cause of the Chu State, we will never give up. ”

"Good. ”

East County.

"Old Ye, look at these villages. Shangguan Jian pointed to the village in front of him, Ye Shikai's face was solemn, and the scene in front of him could be described as "hell on earth", the houses of all sizes in the village were on fire, and many houses had been burned to ruins.

"Guards, follow me into the village. Ye Shikai rode in slowly, it seemed that there had just been a fierce battle here, and there might be a remnant of the enemy in ambush, so his personal guards followed closely by his side, not daring to be careless.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, in the house, and in the ditch, Ye Shikai's heart was as if it had been chiseled by an awl, shocking and miserable, it seemed that all the villagers in this village had been slaughtered.

"In the past few months, the rebels and countless bandits have frequently harassed the nearby villages and county seats, and many small villages have risen up in revolt, but ...... Alas......" Shangguan Jian sighed, hundreds of men, women, and children in a village all died tragically, and anyone who saw this scene would feel extremely depressed.

"In addition, our army and the rebel army often fought in the village, and often caused a large number of accidental injuries during the battle. Shangguan Jian continued to say that the rebel army broke into the village to use the people as a "shield", but some Qin troops did not care about these innocent people.

"What nonsense. Ye Shikai scolded coldly and slammed his fist on the wall.

"It's a human life. ”

"Lao Ye, in fact, this is not to blame those generals who command the army, now the situation is getting more and more serious, they do not have the outstanding command ability like you, in order to complete the task, they just choose to sacrifice the lives of the people. ”

"What a bastard. Ye Shikai's face was solemn, the current situation is turbulent, Shangguan Jian is not wrong about this, in order to get rid of these rebels, the Qin army can be said to do everything, Ye Shikai has repeatedly ordered that once the safety of the people is involved, they must be cautious, but the sergeants under his command obey the order, but it does not mean that other generals have such "good intentions".

"Lao Ye, now there are wars everywhere, many villages and counties have been affected, the people have decreased, and the taxes have decreased a lot, and the county is in a difficult position because of this matter. ”

"They only care about how many rebels have wiped out, and where they care about the lives and deaths of the people. Man Cang was angry next to him just now, but he kept holding back, and when he heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he interjected directly.

"The rebel army is different from the invasion with the wolf clan, one is a foreign war, the other is a civil war, if the foreign war is won, the war will be over, but even if the rebel army is eliminated, it is a symptom but not a cure, if the court does not make changes, the rebel army will emerge in endlessly, endlessly. ”

"Lao Ye is right. ”

"General, what should we do now. ”

"The whole army listened to the order, looked around the village, and saw if there were any villagers who survived, quickly. Ye Shikai immediately ordered.

"Wow. ”

In the past few months, Ye Shikai has led his troops out to exterminate the rebels and robbers, and before he knows it, day by day, this feeling is ...... It's like playing "monster farming" in the game, Ye Shikai commanded tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and it was not difficult to exterminate the rebel army, but there were too many of them, and before you knew it, time had passed......

Late at night, barracks.

"I've heard from fellow villagers in other units that they have one-third less money in their hands, so why are we the only ones who have less? ”

"You don't know, how capable our General Ye is, even the county guard and the county lieutenant have to give him three points of face, and now the taxes in the county are much less, but we dare not reduce our military salary. ”

"I see, it seems that we are following a good general. ”

"I can't say that, the amount of money we get in our hands is just something outside the body, the key is that our general is powerful, he can always win battles, so that we can live, otherwise if we lose the battle, we may not even be able to live, what's the use of those salaries"

"You have a point. ”

When Ye Shikai passed by the barracks, he saw many sergeants sitting around the bonfire talking about something, so he stood by and listened, and heard that these sergeants were talking about him, Ye Shikai was also interested.

"You know, our general is different from other wine bags and rice bags, he has courage, strategy, and is not greedy for money, what is the key, he is sympathetic to the sergeant and takes care of us very much. ”

"You said that General Ye is powerful, what kind of battles has he fought before. One sergeant asked, looking like a new recruit.

"That's too much, when I was in Shifeng Fortress, I saw with my own eyes how General Ye dealt with those wolf clans, when there were tens of thousands of wolf clans gathered outside the fortress, General Ye personally commanded us to meet the enemy on the city wall, and also, he deliberately let the wolf clan into the fortress, a full four thousand people, and then closed the door and beat the dogs, so that they were powerless, and all surrendered. A military commander said very excitedly, Ye Shikai felt that he was very familiar, and he should have followed him very early.
