Chapter 211: Warlord Potential

When Qin Nuan heard Li Yi say this, he immediately remembered Li Yi's question that day: "What about Cai Xide? Kang Lushan didn't recall him from the front line of Pengli Lake to Jinling to make him idle?"

Thinking of this, Qin Nuan immediately said: "No wonder General Duan is so worried! Isn't he worried that the rebels will come to besiege Yangzhou this time, Sun Xiaozhe's department is on the surface, and secretly Cai Xide has also come over, and he has quietly left with more than 30,000 people to attack other places?"

Li Yi nodded, "That's right! Cai Xide is much braver and better at fighting than Sun Xiaozhe! Moreover, they secretly surprise their troops, they must have a great plan!"

Yang Yun said: "I estimate that in their original plan, Yangzhou was garrisoned by Bai Chengxing, and Bai Chengxing was incompetent, and there were few soldiers, Yangzhou must not be able to hold it, and this matter will definitely not be discovered!

Li Yi said: "Their original plan was to break through Yangzhou City in about three or five days, capture King Sheng, and then continue to go north!

Qin Nuan couldn't help but take a breath: "It's really ruthless!"

Now most of the army has gone to Jiangnan West Road to quell the rebellion, most of the prefectures, counties and provincial capitals in the Central Plains are empty, and the rebels, a large army of light and dark, will not be too easy to destroy the city and seize the village.

Thanks to the imperial court, the court also said that the army would be pressed to the south of the Yangtze River, and the rebels would definitely not be able to spare their hands to cross the river, and they did not go to Kang Lushan first to find another way, anyway, now on the west road of Jiangnan, the rebels have achieved great results, and now the war is stalemate, as long as they can maintain the results of the war.

As soon as the results of the battle on the Jiangbei side came out, the imperial court must have panicked again.

Li Yi rubbed Qin Nuan's head, "General Duan has already sent scouts to inspect the traces of the rebels on all sides!"

Qin Nuan asked, "What about the rebels' ships?"

When the rebels came, there was a huge sail on the river, which was very spectacular.

It is really a great fortune and war results, after the capture of these ships, Li Yi's strength must be a lot stronger, Yangzhou is along the river on one side, and the sea on the other, the role of these ships is very great.

Li Yi sighed: "They all ran away! They didn't catch up! When those ships saw that the situation was not right, they set sail one after another, and many of the rebels who fled did not catch up. The expression was full of pity and distress.

Qin Nuan naturally understood this distress, but in fact, she was quite distressed that such a large amount of wealth ran away like this.

Seeing Qin Nuan's wrinkled little bun face, and also shaking her head and inhaling in distress, Li Yi patted her head gently, her face was full of expressions of relief and confidant, and said: "That's it, sooner or later, I will get it, as long as they dare to come again! Not to mention, the kind of method you said set the sulfur on fire and threw it on the boat, I haven't had time to try it yet!"

Qin Nuan waved his small fist, "Sooner or later, I'll let them taste it!"

Li Yi was very happy, rubbed Qin Nuan's slippery hair, and then changed his left hand to rub it, and said with a smile: "Why do you want this girl to attract people like this! How do you say I should reward you? Well, when the time comes, I will want you to be the most beautiful little bride in Yangzhou City!"

Qin Nuan blocked Li Yi's claws, and thought of another thing, she heard that the ship ran away early, so many rebel soldiers who didn't run away must have been captured, so he asked, "How many rebel prisoners have you captured?"

Li Yi said: "I haven't had time to ask about this yet, it is estimated that there are not five or six thousand, but four or five thousand!"

Qin Nuan thought about it for a moment, and said with great interest: "Bringing these surrendered troops under his command is another new force! These people have been on the battlefield for a long time, they are all veterans, and they are much stronger than those newly recruited!"

Li Yi frowned and said: "Ah Nuan, you are too young, you still don't understand that these generals and soldiers are the most difficult to deal with! Otherwise, why have so many generals since ancient times known that it was unlucky to kill and surrender, but they still killed and surrendered countless times, leaving behind infamy through the ages?"

Qin Nuan knows that today's generals and marshals lead the troops, mainly to govern the army with severe military law, especially the Tang Army, although the iron cavalry swept the world, but the military law is also extremely severe, and it can even be said to be so cruel that it exterminates humanity, and it is "beheaded" at every turn!

The "Art of War" written by the famous general Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty said: "The good of the ancients is a general, and he will be able to kill three of the ten pawns, and the second one will kill one of the ten." The three are to intimidate the enemy, and the other is to command the three armies. He who fears me does not fear the enemy, and he who fears the enemy does not fear me. ”

Tsk, an iron army is forged, how many soldiers' heads will be disposed of by military law?

This is also why Li Yi killed Bai Chengxing and the Ruan family before without any psychological burden, and he was not worried about violating the law, in fact, when the enemy army besieged the city, these incidents can be dealt with by military law, according to military law, these people belong to the scope that can absolutely be "beheaded".

With the natural and severe military law and the clear distinction between rewards and punishments, Li Jing has indeed created an army with strong combat effectiveness, strict military discipline, and deep support for the people.

However, it is not enough to deter by cutting off heads, especially for those who surrender to generals and troops, the slightest wind and grass is a hidden danger. Therefore, in ancient times, these generals had no way of taking prisoners, so they could not take rice and grain for nothing, and their own grain and grass were still very tight!

Qin Nuan knew the importance of "ideological work" from later generations, not to mention, most of those soldiers could not read a single big character, and they were born at the lowest level of the working people, so it should be better to instill new ideas, because they had no ideas in the first place.

So she suggested to Li Yi: "These people were originally also the people of the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately they happened to be with Kang Lushan, and the county lord can actually recruit them all!"

So she learned from the experience known to later generations and told Li Yi how to appease these soldiers and generals, such as sending people to tell them every day how Kang Lushan was immoral, unacted, shameless, cruel and unkind, how he was deeply favored by the king, how he betrayed His Majesty the emperor, how he brutalized the people, and these can also be made into songs and stories, so that professional servants can tell them, sing to them, and even perform for them.

At the same time, I will tell them what kind of glory it is to abandon the darkness and turn to the light now, and what kind of way to do it for heaven......

It must be known that at this time, how can the people have entertainment, listening to stories, listening to songs and watching a performance is definitely not easy, so it will naturally be "brainwashed" after a long time.

Qin Nuan said, let Li Yi stand with relish, she never thought that she could actually collect the hearts of the army like this, everyone's consistent understanding is to use strict military discipline to govern the army, some generals and soldiers share weal and woe, eat and live together, can make the soldiers move what it seems.

Who cares about the emotional needs of the soldiers?

Qin Nuan's words undoubtedly opened up a new line of thought.

But Qin Nuan's words, after Li Yi digested it, became a "stick and sweet date"!

Li Yixing rushed and said: "Ah Nuan's method is very good, but if you want to have a better effect, I will starve them all for three days first, and wait until they are half dead from hunger, and then do this, they will die and live, and they will naturally be more grateful!"

Qin Nuan: "......"

This man is really special/has the potential to be a warlord!

She wanted to burst into a foul mouth......

Li Yi was in a very comfortable mood, and teased Qin Nuan again, before he asked Yang Yun, who was silent on the side, "Ziyao, you just came here in a hurry with Ah Nuan, what do you have to say?"

Yang Yun said: "Ah Yi, I plan to leave for Jinling with Ah Nuan tomorrow." ”

Li Yi's eyebrows jumped slightly, he looked at Yang Yun, then at Qin Nuan, and thought for a while: "It's okay! I'll ask Ding Yin to give you a ride tomorrow until you enter Jinling City!"

At this time, Ding Yin stepped into the door, hugged his arms, leaned against the door frame and said: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? After all, let's go after eating the celebration banquet! Even if the idea of fighting Jinling City is still early! At this time, Xue Liangbi is probably still in Quzhou, and I don't know if he has anything to do with the marshal of the unified army in Quzhou!"

Yang Yun said: "Go early and prepare early! Now we don't know anything about the situation in Jinling City!"

Ding Yin looked at Li Yi, and smiled at Yang Yun again: "You people who read a lot really want to be more high-spirited!"

Qin Nuan wrinkled his nose and retorted: "Uncle Ding, when can you speak without being so yin and yang! Do you have a grudge against the scholar? Have you ever been deceived by the scholar in the past? Or have you been bullied?"

Ding Yin pouted, "Cut, you little girl, your mouth is getting more and more powerful, and she is becoming more and more unbehaved!"

The originally slightly dull atmosphere was diluted by the bickering of the two.
