When pressure makes people grow and their lives are threatened, from Xu Jingchang to Xiaobing, they are all running their brains rapidly, trying every means to pursue victory, or survival. The Datong generals were the elite of the Yan Dynasty, and the soldiers trained according to this standard were easy to fight, and Han Guangxing's troops would not be able to take advantage of them at all. It's the same harassment from last night, but it's in order because the defenders have divided the territory. The siege required a long ladder, and when the defenders found a group of men, they lit a light on the ladder and burned it clean. Han Guangxing was born as a bandit who fed war, and in the second half of the night, he found that the ladder was mostly missing. Knowing that Xu Jingchang had a countermeasure, he hurriedly dispatched the army to the city gate, and dared not to play that small.

Huge pieces of wood were made of improvised machinery and smashed against the gates one by one. Dai Shi mobilized the soldiers who were resting in rotation and concentrated their firepower to shoot in front of the city gate. The bow of the Shenshu camp led by Wang Hu. Crossbowmen also shoot. Countless arrows and feathers. Zhou Yi was under the city wall, keeping an eye on the movement above, ready to send troops to support the weak points at any time.

The night attack was a challenge for both sides, and Han Guangxing gradually felt struggling and hesitated whether to retreat. Looking at the towering city gate of Nanchang, I was very unwilling. This attack on Nanchang has exhausted his inventory. If the defeated army retreats, it will inevitably lose its morale. Instead of being brave and strategic, he read many military books. His family's advantage is only one character, and he can't be regarded as a decent soldier. Hence the increasing reliance on big wins. After victory, there is money, there is spirits, there are beautiful women. For the ultimate enjoyment of that moment, they will be even more courageous next time. However, once you fail, greed for life and fear of death will follow. Flesh, careless, mere impulse. Like Xu Jingchang, his soldiers are not a division of a hundred battles.

Han Guangxing's celestial men fought for a full night, fought until dawn, and roughly swept across the battlefield, losing nearly one-third. After four hours of fierce fighting, the soldiers began to get tired and their movements became sluggish. Fire. The physical strength required for the gun is not comparable to that of the bow and arrow, and the fixed ammunition has a crushing advantage on the battlefield after the psychological barrier is removed. First, they put hundreds of guns, and apart from the real pain in the shoulder, the hand that pulled the trigger was always strong, but the archer could no longer lift his arm. And when attacking the city, those who have not climbed the city wall, the broadsword is a useless existence.

The light of heaven shone on the earth again, and Han Guangxing knew that he had failed again. Fortunately, he had expected that the more powerful city defense would not be able to beat it in three or five months. It's only been two nights, and he has a chance. The flag of retreat was raised, and the tired and trembling soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the defenders would not leave the city, and lazily assembled to go to the camp.

At this moment, a cavalry suddenly swept in the distance with a large amount of smoke and dust! The defender sentry was stunned on the watchtower for a moment, and hurriedly rang the gong to warn! Xu Jingchang was surprised inexplicably, could it be that there were still reinforcements from Liukou Caoruan!?

Han Guangxing has no reinforcements! Nanchang did not set himself up as a king, the city lord was a guest of honor canonized by the imperial court, could it be that he went out to ask for help? Take another look at Nanchang, there is no beacon! The siege of Nanchang City is like an iron bucket, how did he report it?

Han Guangxing's troops had not completely left the range of artillery, and Xu Jingchang decisively ordered: "Use artillery bombardment to drive them into a battle with the comers!" ”

When the cavalry travels, thousands of horses gallop, and its sound can be explored a hundred miles away, let alone less than ten miles. Han Guangxingbu already felt the danger and didn't know what to do. Suddenly there was a volley of artillery on the city wall, and the tail of the bombed man within the range immediately turned on his back. The people behind began to flee forward, but the people in front of them collided head-on with the cavalry, and they were all holding fires. Guns, shoot when you see someone! It is normal for people to want to flee for their lives in a panic, and several of Han Guangxing's generals were a little stunned, and their subordinates began to flee. The back ones run forward, the front ones run backwards, and there are countless deaths and injuries just by stepping on!

There were about 50,000 people left in the rest of Han Guangxing's army, and under the excitement, he couldn't listen to the order at all. shouted angrily: "Rush with me!" ”

Forty pro-soldiers struggled to form a phalanx in the chaos and rushed forward with Han Guangxing. Several generals saw that they also did the same, staying in place in the chaos and only dead words, it is better to choose a direction, or there is vitality. The generals led their henchmen again, and the cavalry rushed forward with the people in a daze, and the infantry could no longer take care of it.

The cavalry on the opposite side who didn't know where they came obviously didn't expect to bump into Han Guangxing head-on, they originally wanted to sneak attack by the back road, but they didn't know that Han Guangxing actually faced the enemy head-on, and they panicked. Fortunately, they were not very numerous, and when they saw that the cavalry was rushing over without their lives, and forgot to put their guns, they hurriedly moved out of the way on both sides, for fear of bumping into themselves and dying here. In the end, there was a slightly sluggish one who did not avoid it, and collided with Han Guangxing's people. The horses running at high speed were difficult to control, and the collision places were rear-ended, and the screams resounded in the sky.

Xu Jingchang, Zhou Yi and others looked at the strange scene in the distance inexplicably, and they didn't know what to make for the time being.

After Han Guangxing broke out of the encirclement, he was extremely embarrassed and rushed to the camp with the remnants. The infantry hurried to follow, but it was a mess. The newcomer only then remembered to fish for military exploits, fire. The guns swept indiscriminately, and I don't know how many were wounded and killed. It was not until noon that the chaos dissipated. Fire. The sound of guns and horses and hooves all stopped, the screams of the wounded soldiers on the battlefield became clear, and the cavalry standing in place almost lost their souls.

The new cavalry had only five or six thousand men in total, and the number of people who had just collided was more than a thousand. The leader of the troops only groaned slightly, and then said, "Enter the city!" ”

Thousands of cavalry, regardless of whether the people on the ground were alive or not, trampled on the past mercilessly. When it was under the city, Xu Jingchang saw the name on the banner clearly, and the word Anqing was played. A cavalryman went to the city and shouted: "Is it Xu Yibin in the city? ”

Wang Hu responded: "Who is coming?" ”

The cavalry said: "We are the garrison of Anqing Mansion in Huizhou, and I heard that the bandit army attacked Nanchang, so I came to help!" ”

Ren Shaoying said: "There are thousands of people, ask them who is the commander?" Who do you know? Which one is a thousand households or a deputy thousand households! "The name of the imperial court official is difficult to know unless it is here. Even if you know one or two, it's hard to know them all.

Wang Hu asked one by one, and the man answered. Ren Shaoying nodded and said, "I'm afraid it's really the garrison of the guard." ”

The man knew the rules very well, and after giving his name, he returned to the cavalry. Not long after, five people came on horseback, and at the same time, the cavalry retreated for several miles, and Xu Jingchang ordered the city gate to be opened, still on full alert. When the five men had entered the city, the gates were slammed shut again.

Xu Jingchang got down from the city gate, greeted him in person, and asked with a smile: "But Commander Liang is there in person?" ”

Everyone bowed down together, and the first person said: "Liang Guangqi, the commander of the subordinate Anqing Jinyi Guard, meet the honor guests!" ”

Xu Jingchang hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't say polite words, Commander Liang has sent thousands of miles to help, and Xu is grateful!" ”

Liang Guangqi hurriedly said: "Don't dare! The guard of the Ezhou Mansion saw that there was a change, and he went down the river to report to the imperial court, passing by Anqing, and the commander of the horse ordered us to help the handle. I can't wait to help the momentum, it's far less than the Yibin guarding the city! ”

Ma Commander is Anqing Du Commander Ma Yu, Xu Jingchang said: "It's not as good as a coincidence, you have helped a lot!" ”

At this time, the guerrilla general Du Zhengxiang came to report: "Yibin, how to deal with the prisoners outside the city?" ”

Zhou Yi glared at Du Zhengxiang: "Didn't you see the guest of honor entertaining guests?" ”

Liang Guangqi said: "To say a cheeky word, they are all their own people, and they are busy with the guests." ”

Xu Jingchang said: "How can you leave the guests? Lord Liang, why don't you invite the brothers to enter the city, tonight we will set up a flowing water seat for you to receive the wind and wash the dust, and I wish you a great victory! ”

There are many things to do after the war, Liang Guangqi has been an official for decades, and the war is ordinary, but he understands the people's hearts best. Xu Jingchang's wife and children are all in the city, not to mention official business, even personal affairs have to be for a while. In this way, Liang Guangqi said: "Go to the lower officials and integrate the cavalry, and you must ask for honor and wine at night!" Don't dislike the gluttony of the lower officials! ”

Zhou Yi caught up and said with a smile: "I am ......" paused, and changed the title of the deputy commander-in-chief, "All command Zhou Yi, meet for the first time, and look up for a long time." ”

The commander is clearly Wang Yingda, where is Zhou Yi coming out? Liang Guangqi pondered for a while, thinking that his family would go to the peak, because he was afraid that Xu Jingchang would lose his position, so that the rebels would occupy Nanchang and threaten Anqing. Moreover, everyone in the officialdom knows that Xu Jingchang is a nail inserted in the Yangtze River valley to control the rebellion in several provinces. Pretending not to know anything, he smiled and saluted Zhou Yi - Wei commanded the third grade, and they all commanded the second grade, which was just half a level lower.

Zhou Yi accepted the salute and led a few people to rest in the city. Xu Jingchang saw Zhou Yi take over, and whispered to Du Zhengxiang: "Tell Wang Hu that the wounded outside the city will be rescued if they are alive, and they will be locked up if they are not injured." ”

Du Zhengxiang was puzzled: "If you don't kill them, are you waiting to make trouble?" ”

Xu Jingchang was worried about Ting Fang in his heart, and he didn't have time to explain, so he said: "When Wang Hu asked, he said it was my words!" Just do it! When he had finished speaking, he rode out into the city with his own soldiers.

arrived first to command the envoys, and Ting Fang was really not there. Qian Lianggong greeted him and said, "The county lord hid the night before. ”

Xu Jingchang asked, "Where did she go?" Why don't you hide? ”

Qian Lianggong said with a smile: "The county lord took the child and hid well. What am I afraid of a bad old man? "Tingfang not only brought a child, but also young and beautiful, fell into the hands of the enemy, life is better than death. And he can blend in with the crowd lightly, and there is no need to drag Ting Fang down.

Xu Jingchang said: "Is Mr.'s family okay?" Evacuated from East Lake, Qian Lianggong's family naturally followed him to Nanchang, so Xu Jingchang had this question.

Qian Lianggong said: "It's nothing." The county lord searched for the people's clothes, and hid them with the children and girls, and I don't know where she went, but the guest of honor still went to look for her first. I'll do the follow-up, and then there's the political envoy. With all due respect, I won't wait for a war, and the aftermath is a little better than the guest of honor. ”

Xu Jingchang only thought about it for a while, and then guessed where Ting Fang went. No matter how smart a person is, there is always a trace of her behavior. At the same time, there were countless trainings, and when there was a war, women and children hid in the tunnels. Well, she would instinctively think that the tunnel is safe. If she is with Jun Zimo, she will only go to one place!

Xu Jingchang pulled the reins and rushed towards Dongcheng. Arrived at the old mansion of the Jun family, dismounted and looked for the entrance of the ancestral hall, and jumped into the tunnel. The pro-soldiers followed behind and followed along the black hole. The tunnels of the cave walked slowly.

Jun Zimo's ears moved, and he said softly: "County Lord! Someone! ”

Ting Fang hugged Xu Qing's hand tightly, but saw a familiar light, accompanied by the unique sound of the electric candle stick. She still didn't relax, and unfastened the live buckle of the small crossbow on her right arm with one hand, and Junzi Mo also started the fire. Gun, pointing around the corner.

The familiar voice echoed in the tunnel: "Fourth sister, can you hear it?" ”

Cui Rong smiled happily when he ascended: "It's a guest of honor!" ”

Junzi Mo coldly held the fire. gun, until the figure of Xu Jingchang and his own soldiers appeared around the corner.

Xu Jingchang, who was pointed at gunpoint, couldn't help but cast an extremely appreciative look at Junzimo! Be on guard until the last moment, and you will be guarded!

Only then did Ting Fang feel that the arm holding Xu Qing was sinking. Xu Jingchang walked quickly to Ting Fang and smiled firmly: "Fourth sister, I'm here to pick you up." ”

Back at home, Tingfang saw the girl sent by Mrs. Jiang to help, and everything was in order. Once the tense nerves were relaxed, sleepiness hit like a mountain of seas, Ting Fang didn't care about washing, threw Xu Qing to Xu Jingchang, and fell asleep. Milk. The mother and the girls were also tired, Xu Jingchang still had the aftermath, and took Xu Qing to the political envoy's yamen.

Mrs. Jiang's refuge is in the old town, which has not yet been redeveloped after the disaster. Because it is the ground, he got the news earlier than Tingfang, and he came out early. And Ting Fang hid in the tunnel, afraid that the sun would burn his eyes, so he couldn't come out directly, and it took a long time to get to the ground in the half-light and half-darkness of the entrance. Therefore, there is a time difference, Mrs. Jiang has already rested, she is old and in bad spirits, and the young girls in the family have eased their strength, but they can take care of Xu Qing. Xu Qing came to the political envoy Yamen for half a day, and he was very familiar, although he wilted, he did not cry. Seeing Mrs. Jiang who was crooked on the collapse, she immediately pouted: "Grandma ......"

When Mrs. Jiang heard her great-grandson's voice, she flipped up from the collapse, rushed to Xu Jingchang at a speed that was not suitable for the old man, hugged Xu Qing and coaxed, "What's wrong with our brother Qing?" I haven't seen you for two days, do you want to be too grandma? ”

Xu Jingchang: "......" admire!

Xu Qing couldn't understand the long sentence, he only knew that he was full of grievances, and he cried when he saw his relatives.

Xu Jingchang said apologetically: "I'm tired of grandma." This kid is very stupid, his mother changed her clothes, and she still doesn't recognize it. ”

Mrs. Jiang couldn't stop laughing when she heard this, nodded Xu Qing's forehead and said, "Little fool, you can't recognize your face, you don't even know the smell?" ”

Xu Qing only let Mrs. Jiang play with him, and giggled again. Mrs. Jiang's heart melted when she saw it. The eldest grandson Chen Qian has given birth to a son, but he has never seen the mountains and rivers, Xu Qing is the first great-grandchild she led, and he really loves him like a treasure. The bones of the original body are gradually getting worse, and since I have brought Xu Qing, my waist is not sore, and my legs are not painful. Ting Fang was tired and wanted to sleep, but she took a panacea, and waved her hand to Xu Jingchang: "You are busy, I will play with him!" ”

Xu Jingchang said embarrassedly: "Grandma, you can rest." ”

Before the words fell, Xu Qing shouted: "Dandan! ”

Where can Mrs. Jiang take care of it? Dao Xu Qing was hungry, and called people in a stack: "Go and steam an egg, accompanied by goat milk, and put some sugar." Don't make brown sugar, make white sugar water, strain it with gauze and put it in the egg. He also said, "Poor man, he has never suffered such a sin since he was born." But I feel so distressed that my grandmother is too bad. ”

Xu Jingchang: "......" is too pampered! I couldn't tell the difference between the old man, so I simply couldn't see it out of my mind and was not upset, so I withdrew from the political envoy's yamen and went to handle official business.

After some tossing, Liang Guangqi had already brought the soldiers of the Anqing Guard into the city, settled in the barracks, and ate big steamed buns with salted duck eggs with the defenders of Nanchang. In the past two years, Nanchang has grown high-yield miscellaneous grains, and there is very little refined white rice and white noodles, but it is not as good as the soldiers of the Anqing Guard Station who can fish for white flour steamed buns every day. Even if the battle is won, the kitchen is still gray and yellow multigrain steamed buns.

The soldiers of Anqing said sympathetically to the Nanchang garrison: "They all say that you are rich in Nanchang, but they detain you so much!" ”

The Nanchang garrison smiled: "Who said that you are rich? Many merchants came, and the silver they earned was to build houses and weapons, and to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall. It's easy to raise some ducks, and it's called ** harm. Originally, we were in East Lake, so that's good! We Yibin are not stingy people, and we really don't have any money. The imperial court does not have silver, and Jiangxi has no tax this year. You Anqing is close to the Yangtze River, and it is enough to get fat if you can collect tolls, but we have to attract businessmen to do business, and we dare not collect taxes, where is there any other input? It's nice to be well-fed. ”

An Qingbing said strangely: "It is rumored that you are rich, but it is a lie?" ”

Nanchang Bing said: "There will be money in the future, I heard the veterans say, when they first arrived at East Lake, they were poor and white, and they couldn't afford to eat miscellaneous grain steamed buns, and they nested sweet potatoes every day." Later, it slowly got better. ”

Anqing soldiers were depressed, and they came to help, on the one hand, they had orders from above, and on the other hand, they also wanted to see the benefits of the prosperous Nanchang to make some money. Now it seems that it can't be done, so I ran away in vain and killed many brothers. In the conversation, he looked down on the garrison in Nanchang.

The garrison of Nanchang just follows the way of hospitality, and looks down on the Anqing guards in their hearts, what are they! Looking at who doesn't know your bear-like, standing on the city wall to see it clearly, Hugh said that the command and formation are not even military discipline. When he entered the city, he was lazy and lazy, not in a row or in a row, like a ruffian, if he was in their camp, he would have been beaten by the general manager with a military stick. strands of flowering. It's hard to pick and choose!

The soldiers did not get along very well, but the generals were happy. In the end, he is an official, and the city government is quite deep, but some of them don't bring anything out. The banquet was very simple, just a few meat dishes and a few jars of light wine. Xu Jingchang said apologetically: "Last year's flood, Jiangxi has not yet recovered, so the hospitality is not good, please forgive me." ”

Liang Guangqi had heard the rumors of wealth, and he didn't believe it at first, but when he looked closely, Xu Jingchang, who took off his armor, was actually wearing cloth clothes. Look at the others again, they are all pure. Xu Jingchang still has a golden hairpin on his head, and Wang Hu is wrapped in a strip of cloth on his head at random. I was puzzled in my heart, but I said with a smile on my face: "Anqing is not far behind, and the loss is merciful, and some silver is allocated." ”

The twists and turns in it, Xu Jingchang's heart is clear. After a few words of greeting, he cut to the point: "The commander of the horse in your province is really righteous!" This time thanks to you, otherwise some will fight. ”

Liang Guangqi complimented: "Your mansion's artillery is powerful!" The movement could be heard from afar, and it seemed to be stronger than that of the imperial court. ”

Xu Jingchang didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "I have some fames, and the war is still secondary, and I like to tinker with some small things." The artillery has made me better, and it is more powerful than ever. ”

Liang Guangqi said: "Don't be stronger, I think it's more than ten times stronger." The guest of honor and the county lord are all good hands here, which one in the army doesn't know? The guest of honor sings with the wife and envies others. ”

Xu Jingchang smiled silently, and turned his words: "What happened to the land of Jingchu, the bandits are stubble, can Commander Liang know some inside information?" ”

Liang Guangqi said: "Yibin is asking." I have an old friendship with the guard commander of Ezhou Mansion, who was originally in a battalion, but later they were promoted, but they were far away but did not cut off contact. When he sent someone to report to the court, he wrote a letter to me. Nowadays, bandits are rampant in Hunan and Hubei, and the people are struggling to make a living. The court doesn't care, the guards are all beaten to a pulp, and my friend is just struggling to support it. They plagued the two provinces of Jingchu and Jiangxi. Fortunately, the honor guests were brave, and they fell into the water, not only protecting Jiangxi, but also benefiting Jingchu. Xia Guan thanked his friend for his honor. ”

Liang Guangqi is an official of the imperial court, and he can't directly say that the officialdom of Jingchu is tyrannical, and with a slight hint, Xu Jingchang already knows everything. Isn't this the case in Jiangxi? When he asked Wang Hu and others to fight Haoqiang, they didn't know how much silver money they copied from the yamen at all levels. But the more chaotic they are, the more greedy they are. I don't know how these talented people in the imperial examination who were killed by thousands of miles away are so blind. Did you force the people to rebel and bring money into the coffin? Xu Jingchang hated to kill him cleanly, but he still had someone to govern him, so he had to send the prison army to garrison the local area and watch the county office. Afraid that the prison army would ask them to corrode, the prison guards would steal themselves, and they were rotated in batches, and a team was sent to inspect the chaos in Jiangxi. That's it, during the autumn harvest, I don't know how many allusions came out, but fortunately, Chen Fengning and Yan Fei were old and spicy, and they were good.

However, why Chen Fengning and Yan Feibai are shrewd, it is not because of talent, but because everyone is an expert, and the tricks of the little connoisseurs at the bottom are just small skills in the eyes of the big connoisseurs, and they are all leftovers from the game back then! Chen Fengning's hundreds of thousands of family assets, is it the imperial court? It's not a little stretch out, it's a serious huge greed, Yan Feibai is just like him, so he can be so close. Yan Feibai felt obediently, and when he saw that Xu Jingchang hated him, he hurriedly donated his family funds, leaving only a few thousand taels for daily expenses. Chen Fengning dragged his family, he was used to luxury, and he was reluctant to donate. Moreover, Xu Jingchang started his family, half of which is Chen's dowry, where does this dowry come from? It was Chen Fengning who embezzled. This confused account couldn't be calculated, so Xu Jingchang had to endure it.

Xu Jingchang knew that Jing Chu was only afraid of corpses all over the field, and he became more and more reluctant to be ruthless to the captives. He remembered the terror of a night in the inn many years ago, when he slashed at the rogues with a knife. A nightmare for a month, because it was killing people who shouldn't be enemies. His hands have always been extremely skillful, and he kills the enemy, and he does not dare to compare with the ox, and he is not far away. But he still hates it! Looking at the subordinates in the hall who were excited about winning the battle, Xu Jingchang laughed at himself, he was really not suitable to be a general.

If Liang Guangqi meets Han Guangxing in a serious time, it will not be enough for people to stuff their teeth. It's just that the time and place are favorable, and the hard oolong has come to a big victory. The panicked infantry were beaten by the cavalry with guns and trampled on each other, and countless people died. On average, everyone in the Anqing Guard can make a lot of fat military merits, and Liang Guangqi is very proud, and he can't hide it in front of Xu Jingchang. Xu Jingchang saw that he was holding back so hard, and knew that he was there, not only Liang Guangqi, but also Wang Hu and others had to pretend. patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder, pointed out something casually and left the banquet place.

The night was as cold as water, and the city of Nanchang was restored to peace. Xu Jingchang walked to the prisoner camp, and the 2,000 or so prisoners who were not injured or only slightly injured were tightly tied hand and foot, and they were tied together in strings, and they were not allowed to move. The dense crowd of people lying on the battlefield is the only one who can stand up. The guards came to pay their respects, and the captives shrank when they saw the supreme commander.

Xu Jingchang turned around, and finally stopped at the entrance: "Ask them, if you want to stay as a soldier, stay, and if you don't want to stay, let them go home!" ”

Everyone is stunned! The guard was also shocked and couldn't close his mouth, and said in a stumbling voice: "Why? ”

Xu Jingchang said: "This is the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other?" Since I am a race, I have to forgive and forgive others. They are all born and raised by parents, so don't do evil anymore. ”

Xu Jingchang's words were like throwing a bomb on the ground, and the prisoner camp exploded when he boarded. Xu Jingchang drifted away, Zhou Yi took three steps and two steps to catch up, and hurriedly said: "Yibin, it's not appropriate!" ”

Xu Jingchang smiled lightly: "Deputy Chief Zhou." ”

"The subordinates are here!"

"The highest level of war is a soldier who surrenders without a fight." Xu Jingchang looked back at Zhou Yi, "Therefore, the army is plotting, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is the siege...... Therefore, those who make good use of soldiers, the soldiers of the people instead of the war, the city of the people instead of the attack, the destruction of the country of the people instead of the long, will fight for the whole world, so the soldiers are not immediately profitable, and the method of attacking is also! Got it? ”

Zhou Yi stood in place for a long time, and said uncertainly: "Can you really do it?" ”

Xu Jingchang hooked the corners of his mouth: "Let's try it!" ”

Zhou Yi couldn't understand it, he felt that Xu Jingchang's soft-hearted mistake had been committed again. has followed Xu Jingchang for many years, and Zhou Yi has a certain understanding of Xu Jingchang. It is good that the Lord will be soft-hearted, and they will not have to mix up with the ruthless. However on. The benevolence of the ruler should be to oneself, not to the enemy. Otherwise, if you let the tiger return to the mountain, be bitten by the enemy, and sacrifice the lives of your own brothers, is it still benevolent and righteous?

The garrison of Nanchang is also nicknamed the Xu Family Army, which was established by Xu Jingchang little by little, and its prestige cannot be provoked. Zhou Yi couldn't refute Xu Jingchang, thinking about the brother who died this time, his heart was uncomfortable.

Zhou Yi returned home and couldn't fall asleep, and the decision to contain and release the captives could not be a decision to pat his head. The person who killed his own brother stayed alive, and this hatred is hard to eliminate! is to be incorporated into the team, under the deep hatred of the sea of blood, how to be a brother? How can you win a battle without the friendship of robes on the battlefield? One ring after another, after thinking about the beginning, you have to think of the second step, the third step. It is a saint who sacrifices his life to feed an eagle, not a soldier. Zhou Yi got up and lit the lamp, and saw that the self-striking bell pointed to two o'clock. In the middle of the night, he couldn't go to Ting Fang, and only Ting Fang could convince Xu Jingchang at this moment.

Zhou Yi is young and strong, and it is not appropriate to stay up for a few nights. Hengzhi couldn't sleep, so he took out a jar of mulberry wine from the cabinet. made a bag with a rope, and slipped away and knocked on Ren Shaoying's door. Nowadays, Qian Lianggong is the most important among the staff, but Zhou Yi and Ren Shaoying met first, and their feelings are different. Ren Shaoying rested for a while, and was not annoyed when he was woken up by Zhou Yi, and asked with a smile: "Why did Deputy General Zhou come late?" ”

Zhou Yi said: "I'm upset and want to drink with Mr. ”

Ren Shao Yingqi said: "What are you doing when you drink and look for me?" I can't drink you soldiers, and you are better than me. ”

Zhou Yi said angrily: "I'm not happy, you still tease me!" In the middle of the night, I went to find a widow to drink, and I would have to be chopped up by the county lord tomorrow. ”

Ren Shaoying had no choice but to let Zhou Yi into the door, took out the tea bowl as a wine bowl and said, "Accompany you to get drunk and rest." ”

Zhou Yi pouted: "What are you drunk!" Mulberry wine, just borrow the aroma of wine. ”

Ren Shaoying said with a smile: "There will be spirits next year, how much millet has been beaten this year?" They were thinking about making wine with sweet potatoes, and I was hanging! ”

Zhou Yi sighed: "It's still sorghum wine that brings strength!" ”

Ren Shaoying picked up the jar and filled both cups. Zhou Yi took it up and drank it all, and Ren Shaoying refilled the cup for him before saying, "Tell me, what's wrong?" ”

Zhou Yi said Xu Jingchang's decision like this, and finally said: "It's nothing to be soft-hearted, it's not good to make the brothers feel cold." ”

Ren Shaoying laughed out loud: "Just for this idea? ”

Zhou Yi was annoyed: "This idea? ”

Ren Shaoying said: "You are too angry, Yibin is not a person who is dictatorial." He had to talk to someone about something. ”

Zhou Yi said: "He said it directly in front of the captive!" ”

Ren Shaoying shook her head with a smile: "What if you say it?" Regardless of which one, jump out and sing a black face to dismiss. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds for the guest of honor to have a reputation for benevolence, and the one who sang blackface won the voice of his brothers? ”

Zhou Yi was stunned.

Ren Shaoying continued: "It is said that Liu Bei cried in the world, in my opinion, he is a ruthless person, but he can win a lot of hearts by pretending to be benevolent and weak." The guest of honor is so soft, what's wrong? If the guest of honor wants to be the emperor, we are still worried; However, he is a guest of honor, and he will be a great prince in the future, and he will not be in charge of the Ministry of Labor, and the most outrageous will be a horse to the end, what is there to worry about? He shouldn't have done anything with a knife in his hand. Originally, the family was the little son of the national family, so he didn't raise it according to the decision to kill. Isn't it a little difficult for you to make him ruthless? ”

Zhou Yi: "......"

"So you can't hold your breath." Ren Shaoying said, "Yibin's temperament is a little entangled. Mian, after the deed is completed, I am afraid that I will not lead the troops to fight again. But bandits are everywhere in the world, and Mongolia invades the border from time to time, and there is always a war to be fought. I'll be honest, if you follow the guest of honor, Your Highness may not remember you. When you stand alone, no matter how frizzy you are, you will suffer. ”

Zhou Yi lost his temper by what he said, and said unhappily: "Strange Dao County mainly has a governor of Nalaoshizi, and you scholars are used to reversing black and white." ”

Ren Shaoying said: "The purpose of the county lord is not only this. ”

Zhou Yi said: "The county lord has one hundred and eighty eyes, and I am too lazy to guess." I'm not just here tonight for the sake of honor, but also for the sake of the side. ”

"Say it, and let me turn black and white upside down."

Zhou Yi took a sip of wine and said, "I'm annoyed by Yibin, and I'm also annoyed by myself." We died two thousand less. I don't think it's so hard to fight, and I still die so much. I know in my heart that fighting a war will kill people, and it will be uncomfortable! Especially those who were cut down by Wang Shen, I know that they have to be cut, and there are more who are not hacked to death, but there is nothing wrong with talking about it in detail. When I was younger, I was more cowardly than they were. They just died. ”

Ren Shaoying said: "You thought of yourself, if you coax you at that time, you will die." You are scared, and I hope that the world will be more tolerant, and let you live when you can't help but be weak, instead of taking your life cleanly. ”

Zhou Yi glared at Ren Shaoying: "Can you speak human words?" ”

Ren Shaoying said: "I am telling the truth, and my words are contrary to my ears. ”

Zhou Yi was blocked half to death.

Ren Shaoying smiled: "That's it, it's a big deal." If you're not happy, I'll drink with you, and if you're not drunk, it's good to sleep, and it's good to sleep with your head covered. The battle has been won, can you spend the first two nights in worry? I know you're just looking for someone to talk to. Cuirong's old mother didn't come to the door, so you had to look for me. ”

Zhou Yi: "......"

Ren Shaoying continued: "Why don't you take advantage of your happiness and get married, it's not like a word." ”

Zhou Yi said depressedly: "Cui Rong refuses." ”

Ren Shaoying asked, "Why?" ”

"She said that the county lord has no one to make it," Zhou Yi sighed, "It's nothing to get married, if you are pregnant with a child, let the county lord worry about her." ”

"It can't always be consumed."

"I can't move her, she's too right." Zhou Yi said helplessly, "The idea is a good thing, but sometimes you can't hold her." ”

Ren Shaoying said: "Then you directly tell the county lord that the county lord never behaves as a child." She worked all the way to her own life, and I don't think she took giving birth to a child seriously. When it came to Ting Fang's character that was more manly than a man, Ren Shaoying didn't know how to describe it, and couldn't help but complain, "The county lord is the most hurtful person, especially for beauties." ”

Zhou Yi squirted out a sip of wine: "I'm tired of life first!" Dare to say that! ”

Ren Shaoying coughed dryly: "Your family Cuirong is a beauty, she is happy!" ”

Bullshit! Zhou Yi looked at Ren Shaoying with disdain, you just said that you are the county lord's favorite.

Ren Shaoying quickly cut the topic: "Regarding the release of the captives, I will ask the county lord tomorrow." Confucius said benevolence and righteousness, and Mencius said the royal way, which must have its reason. I've guessed a little, but I'm not sure, it's not good nonsense. Let's see the decision of the county lord. ”

Zhou Yi said sullenly: "Actually, I am unwilling, I want to kill that thief and avenge the dead brother!" Suddenly, I heard that the guests wanted to spare them, and my heart was on fire. ”

Ren Shaoying said: "Xu you kill them, and then what?" ”

Zhou Yi was asked again.

"There are a number of men in the world, and if you catch the captives, you will kill them, where will you recruit troops in the next war? Who will not return to the remnants? Ren Shaoying said solemnly, "If you are not allowed to kill prisoners, you will be considered a serious general, and the people next to you are all wild roads." Remember, we're not rebels! Let's fight for the court! You used to be hungry and couldn't do anything, so you never did anything like stealing chickens and dogs? Diverting the displaced people to return to the fields, the displaced people are all innocent, and they did not kill people and sell goods? When you divided the fields, you also saw how many people cried with their household registration books, and they all exchanged women for food with their own hands, and they cried that they couldn't exchange women for food a second time. Everyone's hands are stained with blood, and you are not much nobler than a captive! ”

Zhou Yi stopped talking.

Ren Shao said earnestly: "Lord Zhou, the general can run a horse on his forehead, and the prime minister can support a boat in his belly." It's not that they are really broad-minded, it's that they look at the long-term, and you can't see the big gains and losses they care about. The county divides the land mainly according to the head, and the women are also counted. How many people say that the county lord is a woman, so he stands out for a woman? However, the county lord is thinking about the harmony of yin and yang, and he is thinking about how to get women out of the house and make clothes for the soldiers, do you think of it? Don't talk about the long term, just talk about the present. The captives have all fought, so they're better than the peasants you've recruited, right? Bai got thousands of men, the most straightforward, do you know how much it is worth? ”

Zhou Yi said: "I didn't say that I couldn't surrender!" Yibin said that those who did not want to fight could go home. ”

Ren Shaoying sneered: "Go home? Which home to go back to? Who is a bandit in a family? You're usually a smart person, why did you get to the tip of the bull's horns at this point? He doesn't want to fight, and he can't go back to his home, so it's good to stay in our Jiangxi to farm! There are also people who think that there is a lot of money, will you settle the account? ”

Zhou Yi was completely speechless.

Ren Shaoying got up and patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder: "Come back, Ming'er still has a lot to do." I have to report this to the county lord to know......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yi was annoyed: "Traitor! ”

Ren Shaoying smiled: "Look at you, you're in a hurry again." If you have doubts, so will others. If you don't tell you, you don't bend, you have to ask the governor to explain it thoroughly, otherwise you will have to cut a few more when you make trouble! It's a lot of money to support you old, cut one and lose one, understand? Aren't you the first to worry about your brothers? There are cultural people with a lotus tongue to reverse black and white, saving you a lot of trouble! ”

Zhou Yi was convinced: "I'll send a careful eye, so that you can see that many things!" I know how the generals can't play Wenchen, and they have few eyes! ”

Ren Shaoying was a little stunned and said: "It's not that you have few eyes, it's that you are the emperor's eyes." Xiucai's rebellion failed for three years, and Ye Ge's old assistant to the prince almost called a pot to serve the palace, and we can't rebel anymore. You are different, regardless of your benevolence and morality, regardless of your factional ties, raise a big knife and slash indiscriminately, depending on how amazing you are, you are all a dead soul under the knife. Are you afraid? ”

Zhou Yi nodded and said honestly: "I'm afraid!" ”

Ren Shaoying smiled: "So the saint trusted Wenchen and sent Wenchen to suppress the generals." ”

Zhou Yi said: "Isn't that good for you?" But you seem to be unhappy? ”

Ren Shaoying smiled: "Wenchen will not rebel, and he can't stop Hu when he goes south." This is an age-old problem, how to solve it? ”

"You want to solve it?"

"Yes! Who wouldn't want to be forever! Ren Shaoying drove Zhou Yi to the door, leaving a back, "I can't think of it, just wait for future generations to solve it." Go to bed! 166 Reading Network
