Zhang Wenguo is a believer, and in less than half a day, the allocation of grain, grass, baggage and 2,000 elite soldiers has been completed. To Nanying's surprise, the commanders of these two thousand soldiers and horses turned out to be old acquaintances Zhang Jie and Sima Zhi.

The two sides were overjoyed when they met. After careful questioning, it was learned that in order to prevent the raid of the Hebei bandits and the Liangzhou rebels, Emperor Ling ordered Zhu Jun to guard Hanoi and defend Gyeonggi. Zhang Jie, Sima Zhi and other subordinates of Zhu Jun were assigned to Zhang Wen's account to listen to them. As soon as Zhang Jie heard that Zhang Wen wanted to select a general to support General Yingyang Zhonglang, his eyes lit up, and he almost broke his head to grab this messenger.

He proudly boasted to Nanying that almost all of the two thousand soldiers and horses were veterans of the Yellow Turban War, and their combat power was good, and many of them were Yiyang villagers, and they were absolutely like a finger in command. Hearing this, Nanying couldn't help but be overjoyed, and almost didn't break Zhang Jie's shoulder bone.

And Sima Zhi's eyes are even brighter, and he can follow Nanying and Gao Shun to pacify millions of Hebei bandits, which is no less than a miracle in pacifying the Yellow Turban Rebellion, even if he Sima Zhi is indifferent to fame and fortune, when he thinks that he may be famous in history, his heart trembles with excitement.

In accordance with Emperor Ling's instructions, Nanying commanded thousands of troops, and grandly played the banner of "Hebei Recruiting Envoys", and traveled leisurely to the north along the way.

He looked plain and calm on his face, but he was very anxious in his heart. This time it's not about going to war, it's about persuading you to surrender and recruit peace! I've never done this kind of thing at all, and of course I don't know the bottom in my heart. The most troublesome thing for him was that the progress of the intelligence work was also very fruitful, and several groups of scouts who had been sent before the departure reported one after another, saying that they had preliminarily discovered the area of activity of the Hebei bandits, and also found several places where the thieves lived, but these areas were mostly valleys, easy to defend and difficult to attack. And the local people are almost all vassals of the thief army, and it is extremely difficult to infiltrate them, and it is not yet possible to find out the true details of the thieves.

After crossing the Yellow River and approaching the territory of the Hebei bandits, Nanying finally couldn't hold his breath. He discussed many times with the generals, but they all felt at a loss. Some of the generals suggested that they should choose one of them to annihilate with all their might, so as to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys; Some of them are inappropriate, if they directly attack one of them, they will surely make the rest of the bandits hate the same enemy and resist with all their hearts; Some generals of the Northern Army simply proposed that General Lu Zhi still had 30,000 troops in Hebei, so it was better to ask him to cooperate in the battle and wipe out dozens of thief armies in one go.

They have different opinions, but Nanying is so angry that he filmed the case! I know that fighting, killing, and killing are all a group of rough people with no brains! Seeing that the Han Dynasty has been plagued by natural and man-made disasters over the years, the people have been displaced, and the population of various places has been sharply reduced, and then these hundreds of thousands of chaotic people will be slaughtered indiscriminately, Hugh said that how many brothers he will die in vain, do you still want the people to cultivate the land in this land of Hebei Prefecture?

Jia Xu proposed a poisonous plan, taking advantage of the complex relationship between dozens of thieves who are not subordinate to each other and have their own evil intentions, promising heavy profits, spreading rumors, and sending camouflage teams to attack everywhere, completely muddying this deep water. In a word, it is to divide and provoke them to kill each other, and then take advantage of the chaos of the situation to come forward to recruit peace, and then deliberately give each thief leader official positions and property at all levels with disparity in rank, so that they will have different dreams in the same bed, and they will fall into each other's dreams, and finally break them one by one and never suffer in the future.

Nanying shuddered when he heard it, but his heart was pounding. This Jia Xu is really worthy of the name of a poisoner, and he uses a plan to kill people at every turn.

However, he thought about it for a long time, but still rejected this clever plan. There are two reasons for this, the first is that there will be many casualties in this way, and it is still the ordinary people who have just turned into chaos who suffer. If you can't live, who wants to have a house and land at home and be a bandit? This move is too hurtful!

The second reason is that although this strategy is very good and can even be done once and for all, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it can be delayed for a long time. If there is chaos today, the reason why the Son of Heaven is willing to put down his body and take the initiative to recruit peace is that he wants to eliminate the imminent threat with lightning speed, deter those small people in the world and the alien races in the north, and then concentrate on resisting the rebels in Liangzhou. If the matter in Hebei cannot be resolved for a long time, I am afraid that there will be rebellions one after another in various places, and then we will really be anxious and exhausted!

Perhaps, he should really choose a weaker thief army and kill them with a thunderous force, so as to completely deter the remaining thieves! Nanying had a headache when he thought about it, but he always hesitated, and he couldn't give up his heart.

Because there was nothing to do, the army had to be stationed near Xiangguo for several days, and it was unable to move.

At night of this day, Nanying tossed and turned, unable to sleep, so he simply got up and walked out of the tent.

The soldiers guarding the gate of the camp saw the main general from a distance and hurriedly bowed and saluted together.

Nan Ying saw the familiar faces, his heart warmed, and his depression disappeared a little, he smiled and stepped forward to pat this, beat that, looked at the honest smiling faces of his subordinates, and recalled the days when he frolicked with his comrades in the Hidden Dragon Base.

"It's not a short time to follow Ben, right?" He asked with a smile: "Although Ben Jiang can't call your name, he looks at that familiar one by one!" ”

"Back to the general!" A soldier straightened his chest and said: "The subordinate is a general who followed before the Battle of Thorn Mountain, and it's been almost a year now!" ”

"Phew! This also dares to blow it! Another chief pushed him away and said, "Do you know the feat of the general leading five hundred elite soldiers to attack Ganling?" I am one of the 500! ”

Nan Ying's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded: "No wonder you kid has a familiar face, I see!" ”

The chief was even more overjoyed, and stepped forward to dance and said: "General, do you remember that day in front of the enemy's city guard, you rushed all the way in, and your subordinates followed closely behind your ass......"

Dubo, who led the team, couldn't cry or laugh, and stepped forward and reprimanded: "In front of the general, don't be frivolous!" You ......"

"Alas!" Nan Ying raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and said dissatisfiedly: "You don't know how Ben will lead the troops? As long as the order is forbidden and the courage to fight, where are there so many rules? ”

"No!" Nadubo had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

When the soldiers heard Na Dubo say this, although they knew that Nanying was approachable, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so they had to gather around and look at their general with a smirk.

Nan Ying's gaze swept over the sincere faces one by one, and his heart moved. How to use his plan on this trip, although he asked all the generals, he never asked these soldiers for their opinions. Most of them, like those rebels, are from poor backgrounds, and they may not know what they have in mind.

He smiled slightly and said, "Soldiers, this time the general was ordered by the emperor to pacify Hebei, tell me, how should this battle be fought?" ”

"War?" All the soldiers looked at each other together.

The chief who had participated in the surprise attack on Ganling blurted out: "General, do we really want to kill those ordinary people?" ”

"Nonsense!" Na Du Bo looked at Nan Ying's face, and hurriedly reprimanded: "What common people? They are now rioters, bandits! ”

"Shut up!" Nanying said impatiently: "Ben Jiang hasn't asked you yet!" What's the hurry? Listen to the end of the story! ”

"General Rongyu!" Nashi Chang took a step forward, and a look of confusion flashed in his eyes: "These days, we have followed General Ping Yellow Turban and retired from the rebels, and we have never been soft!" However, my subordinates heard that the so-called Hebei bandits were just homeless people with a large number of old, weak, women and children! It's a bit ...... for me to kill them."

He lowered his head: "But some can't do it!" ”

When Na Dubo heard this, he immediately became anxious, and was about to open his mouth to scold, but when he saw Nanying glaring at him fiercely, he was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped his mouth and took a step back.

"What about you?" Nan Ying looked at the other Han soldiers who were a little at a loss, and said quietly, "Do you think the same way?" ”

"The general forgives the sin!" A pawn suddenly said with a slight wetness in his eyes: "The villain is from Hebei, and he has never returned to his hometown since he joined the army three years ago." These days, the villain has been very worried, for fear that his family will also be forced to make a living, and go to those bandits! ”

"Yes! So are the villains! Another soldier shouted: "The villain's family will never join the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves, but whether they will join the army of those homeless people, even the villain's heart is uncertain!" ”

The soldiers quieted down together, obviously touching the feelings of homesickness.

Nashi Chang suddenly raised his head and said, "General! Your subordinates believe that it is impossible for you to order us to attack those outcasts! ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it! Nanying was a little surprised: "Why do you think so? ”

"Maybe you have forgotten yourself, general, but our subordinates will never forget it even if they die!" Nashi's face was full of admiration: "When we attacked Ganling that day, the Yellow Turban Army set fire to the city in order to escape, causing countless casualties to the people in the city. For the sake of the people in the city, you even did not hesitate to give up expanding the results of the battle, and personally led your subordinates to put out fires everywhere and save people! ”

"At that time, I was thinking, such a general who loves the people is worth following him!" Nashi Chang clenched his fists tightly: "Because, which of us is not raised by our father?" ”

"So, the subordinates firmly believe!" He affirmed, "If those bandits were outcasts, you would definitely come up with the best of both worlds!" Instead of ordering his subordinates to let go and kill! ”

Nan Ying's heart shook when he heard this, and he looked at Nashi Chang in disbelief, but saw that his eyes were full of sincerity and sincerity, and he looked back with hope.

"Well said!" Nanying was stunned for a long time before he patted Nashi Chang wordlessly and turned to go.

He was indeed too anxious to succeed, and he never put himself in the shoes of the soldiers, maybe their relatives were among those chaotic people, if they arbitrarily started a war and ordered the army to clear the chaotic people in Hebei, I was afraid that the soldiers would be separated, and from this kind of evil consequences of future division.

And is there an imperceptible subtle change taking place in your heart? On that day, how could he have the terrible idea of slaughtering countless living beings? He couldn't help but be terrified, the continuous wars and turbulent times may have eroded his heart, repeating the terrible demons that were bred by killing and poking all day long in the Hidden Dragon Base. It was because of my father's earnest teachings that I was in danger and did not go astray. But today, who will light the lantern of the sea of bitterness for himself, and reflect his own way of coming and returning? Maybe Ma Lun can, but after all, she is far away in Luoyang, and it is impossible for her to be by her side all the time in the future, and all choices still depend on her heart.

Just as his heart was dazed and he was wandering forward without purpose, suddenly a thin voice came into his ears: "Boy, come with me!" ”
