Outside the north of the town, Zhao Chen's camp!

Millions of soldiers gathered in an open-air square looked imposing and impressive.

This is Zhao Chen's army of millions,

At this time, in the center of the square, fifty soldiers of the Yang Kingdom were tied up and knelt in one place.

All the soldiers were staring at Zhao Chen, who was sitting in the center on the platform.

"Dashuai, let us go back! I want to go back! I want to go back for revenge!"

"I fought for my country on the front line, whether I lived or died. But what about the dog officer, just hide in the back and enjoy the fruits of peace, he will kill my whole family. ”

"My house was burned down by the dog official's son, and none of the seven members of the family escaped!"

"Dashuai, I'm not a deserter, I always rush to the front every time I rush into battle, and now I just want to go home. ”

......

......

A group of bound Yang soldiers stared at Zhao Chen on the handsome platform and roared.

Zhao Chen stared at those soldiers with a gloomy face, if he said that they were deserters, he didn't believe them. Among them, there are one or two people whose names he remembers because they are too brave in the charge, and they are not even afraid of death, how can they be deserters!

Zhao Chen said in a deep voice: "Cheng Julu, have you asked clearly?"

Cheng Julu, who was waiting on the side, nodded, "These...... Recently, most of them have received letters from their families, saying that their family members have been persecuted by corrupt officials, and some of them have come to report to their fellow villagers, or their family members who have escaped death have come to interview them, and they are also deserters after knowing that their family members and relatives are being persecuted, which can be regarded as excusable. ”

Zhao Chen nodded, "How many people?"

Cheng Julu's face was a little ugly, "There have been fifty families who have suffered accidents, and it is difficult to say whether they are true or false." ”

Zhao Chen stared at the direction of Zhenbei City and snorted coldly: "Zhang Baigui, is this your conspiracy? ”

Cheng Julu's face sank, "Is this Zhang Baigui's conspiracy? Could it be that he is trying to cause us to bomb the camp?

Zhao Chen nodded, if it wasn't a conspiracy, could it be a coincidence?

Is there such a coincidence in this world? And they came together.

There was no news at all before, but now there are so many at once, fifty families? The magistrate should not be so stupid, at this time the persecution of their family members, there may be, but not so many, almost at the same time, spread all over the barracks.

This is definitely a conspiracy by Jang Baek-gyu.

Zhao Chen shouted coldly: "Cheng Julu, have you ever found out, who went to my camp to spread rumors?"

Cheng Julu smiled bitterly and said, "Dashuai, no one." It was their letters from their families, their countrymen, and the people they trusted the most, and they were also deserters who listened to the bad news. ”

Zhao Chen clenched his fists and whispered, "A group of wine bags and rice bags, Lao Tzu is fighting for his life on the front line, you are good, and you are good in the rear." ”

Among so many people, it is certainly not all Jang Baekyu's conspiracy, and some of them are true.

If it was in normal times, for the sake of the group of pillars of the country who are now kneeling in the center of the square to defend their families and defend the country, he can turn his horse's head and return to Daye City at any time, and cut down all those wine bags and rice bags.

Can ...... now

He can't do without this!

Cheng Julu's eyes were fierce, "Marshal, do you want to arrest that group of people who reported the news, and then isolate the inside and outside of the barracks to prevent the exchange of letters from home?"

In this way, even if Zhang Baigui wants to confuse the army's heart, there is nothing he can do.

Zhao Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's too late, look at the expressions of the soldiers." ”

Cheng Julu looked at the soldiers in the square with a puzzled face.

The bound soldiers were naturally red and hoarse, but the other onlookers were all looking at the square with solemn faces at the moment, looking at the group of soldiers, there was no disgust on their faces, but more sympathy.

If they flee in fear, they will be spit on with all their might. But are they cowardly? Are they running away from the battle? They are not like us, sacrificing their lives on the front line just to make a good life for their parents, wives and children at home, but now!

They handed over their lives to Yang Guo, and went to the soup for Yang Guo to fight on the battlefield.

But how did Yang Guo repay them?

Kill their father and mother, humiliate their wives and children, burn their houses.

Whoever puts this matter on him, who does not harbor fire.

Now they just want to go home and see, are they wrong?

No.

Deserter, hehe! This deserter escaped with dignity, if it were me, I would have fled.

Besides, those deserters who were tied up were all their robes, brothers in life and death who lived and died together, bloodshed, and death did not make them cry, but the group of dog officers in the rear was too chilling, such a Yang Guo made them too chilling.

Now, the marshal is dealing with this matter, what will be the result?

Our wives and children, old and young, will one day be in such dire straits? What should we do then?

If you can't even protect your wife, children, and parents, what are you talking about fighting for the country?

All the soldiers stared at Zhao Chen on the platform with wide eyes, wanting to see his decision, not for the group of deserters, but for the worries in their hearts.

Cheng Julu looked at the eyes of the group of soldiers, and his heart was not good.

Cheng Julu sighed lightly, silently took a step back, and didn't mention anything about catching the group of people who reported the news and isolating the family letters.

Because they are today are likely to be tomorrow's themselves.

Today, when they are in trouble, if they don't help, they will fall into the well.

What if tomorrow I was in trouble!

Is it someone else who has come to fall into the well?

Fortunately, the marshal found out in time, if the marshal really followed his advice, he would arrest those who reported the news, or beat them to death, and block the barracks to prevent the exchange of letters.

I am the sinner of this army of millions!

At the same time, he is also a sinner of Yang Guo!

Even those who follow him will hate him!

Zhao Chen drank

"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Zhao Chen, promise you that during this period, if anyone insults your family, I will make them pay a hundredfold and a thousand times the price, this is my promise to you, and I also ask you to believe in this commander." ”

Zhao Chen's words were still very prestigious, and the soldiers stopped whispering. But after all, suspicion has penetrated into people's hearts like a devil, and it is difficult to erase it.

"You promise, what can you promise? Before I set out, my childhood sweetheart's wife had just gotten married, and she didn't let me come, but I still came. At the time of parting, she said that she would wait for my triumphant return, but now! I will not see her again when I go back. He was killed by the son of that dog officer!"

"Just for my family's real estate, my blind old mother was burned alive in the house by the county officials, mother, the child is not filial!"

"Haha...... Fighting, who am I fighting for? I fought to the death, but in the end, I fought to the end and everyone was ruined. ”

......

......

A group of deserters cried noisily.

The onlookers also clenched their fists, their eyes were red, like swallowing, and their hearts were extremely heavy.

Fifty deserters kept describing, and Zhao Chen listened silently.

An hour later, Zhao Chen straightened it all out.

The entire square was looking at Zhao Chen, quietly.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Chen divided the fifty people into two groups, and pointed to the left and pulled out the people: "I have listened to what you said, you think about it carefully, the news you got is that your relatives were killed, and the people who came to report it were also your relatives, but they did not see your relatives killed, as long as they did not see it with their own eyes, no matter how likely it is, this is just speculation." ”’

"My brother won't lie to me. ”

"Neither will my cousin. ”

......

Zhao Chen said: "Naturally, they won't lie to you, but what if they are also deceived! Everyone, don't you think it's strange? There has never been so much bad news before, but now why so much has popped up at once, let me tell you, this is all Zhang Baigui's conspiracy." The purpose is to ask our army to mutiny, and he will break himself. ”

Some soldiers suddenly realized.

But some soldiers said coldly: "Why should we believe you?"

"You don't have to believe me, as long as you know that you have to see people in life and corpses in death, don't give up hope until you see the corpses, I will ask the emperor now to send people to find your relatives. ”

"Is there any hope?

A soldier with a look of hope on his face.

"If there are really local officials who do evil and persecute your families, this commander will ask the king to order, and there will be no forgiveness for killing. ”

"Thank you, thank you. The deserters immediately said gratefully.

......

Zhao Chen looked at another group of people, this is really tricky.

"What are we going to do, Dashuai? We can't be fake, right? My brother saw it with his own eyes! My father! That's the son of the city lord!" cried one of the deserters.

Zhao Chen's expression was solemn, "What you said, the evidence is ironclad, you can rest assured,

No one can let you shed your blood and then shed tears. Not to mention that he is the son of a city lord, even if the city lord is involved, I will go to the emperor and behead him. and you yourself will oversee the beheading. ”

"Thank you, thank you. The deserters also said gratefully.

......

......

The group of deserters kept kowtowing gratefully, if it weren't for the commander to call the shots for them, maybe they wouldn't be able to take revenge for the rest of their lives, how could they not be grateful.

Zhao Chen stood up and said loudly: "Soldiers, I know that you are worried, rest assured, I, Zhao Chen, promise hereby that in order to dispel everyone's scruples, as long as it does not involve military affairs, everyone can exchange letters with their families." ”

"Thank you, thank you!"

The soldiers cheered.

The previous worries were completely gone, and the marshal allowed the correspondence to be exchanged, so that he could be sure whether the home was safe or not.

The original trace of restlessness in my heart suddenly disappeared.

Zhao Chen said: "You have also seen that of these fifty deserters, twenty-five are forced to do so, and twenty-five are Zhang Baigui's conspiracy. In the future, if you encounter any problems that cannot be solved, you can tell me, and I will definitely make decisions for you. ”

"Don't worry, if there is anything, we will definitely report it to you. ”

......

A deserter crisis was resolved by Zhao Chen in this way.

But he was not happy at all.

This Baekyu doesn't seem to be that simple.

He always had a feeling that the rain was coming.

And he's already in the middle of a storm.
