The whispers among the people were stopped by the uniform footsteps of the officers and soldiers, staring at the resolute soldiers who jumped out, most of the people showed frightened expressions on their faces, and more and more soldiers came out, and the number of people gradually became similar to the number of the people. Last night, the messenger only said that he would gather at the city gate, but did not explain what was going on at the city gate.

The county commander followed Zhao Yi and ran to the city gate, the quail-like people under the city were in stark contrast to the murderous soldiers with spears in their hands, the sharp tips of the spears flashed in the sunlight, this time it may not be aimed at the vicious thieves, but the defenseless people.

Those soldiers were waiting for Zhao Yi's order, as long as Zhao Yi waved his hand, this open space outside the county town would become a Shura battlefield, and the order he asked the messenger to convey last night was the talisman of these people. He grabbed Zhao Yi, who was on the city wall, and before he could speak, he felt a pain in his arm. His hand had been blocked by Dian Wei, and he glanced sideways at the county order, "Hugh is rude to the general!" ”

The county commander was frightened by Dian Wei's momentum and took two steps back, how could he be Dian Wei's opponent when it comes to martial arts, he didn't dare to drag Zhao Yi's clothes anymore, but shouted anxiously behind him, "The general can't do this evil thing, this move will affect the whole body." "It's not that the county commander doesn't believe in Zhao Yi's character, for this kind of general who gallops on the field, it is very common for a big hand to wave thousands of heads to the ground. But if all these people are killed, won't he, the commander of Tang County, become the commander of the light pole. There is only one empty city left in Xingtang County, and there is naturally no need for him to exist as a county commander. If it weren't for Zhao Yi's promise not to attack these people last night, he wouldn't have helped Zhao Yi do this kind of dehumanizing thing.

Zhao Yi frowned, turned his head and glanced at the county order with an eager expression, "The things that I promised the county order will naturally be done, please don't worry." Ben will lead his troops to fight for many days, have you ever heard that Zhao Yi's subordinate officers and soldiers have injured a civilian? ”

Zhao Yi's army discipline is strict, even during the march and war, it is not guilty of the autumn with the people, let alone the tragic slaughter of the city, the population is originally small during the war years, and in this era, the population is the primary productive force. It is easy to kill these people, and Zhao Yi's troops can kill them all in two hours, but there are only two results, one is to deepen the hatred of the Montenegrin army, and the other is to offend the people of Jizhou. If he does this, Zhao Yi is afraid that it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Jizhou.

Zhao Yi already has a plan in his heart, but in order to achieve the desired effect, he not only has to rely on lip service, but also needs force, grace and power to do this. After Zhao Yi said this, he didn't pay attention to the county order, but walked straight to the city wall, looked down at the black people below, saw the panic on the faces of the people, cleared his throat and said loudly, "You don't have to be afraid, I invited you here today to discuss something." Looking at the people in the field, Zhao Yi nodded secretly, sure enough, there were more women than men.

These people glanced at each other, they were just ordinary farmers, and the government could think of them when raising military rations, and they didn't care about the people at all on weekdays. At this time, spring has just begun, the ice and snow have melted and the malt has returned to green, and although the crops are growing very well, they are still months away from maturity. But under the coercion of the government, these people had to answer, if there is something to ask, they will do their best to help.

But the first sentence Zhao Yi said frightened these people. "I will only ask you, why do you help the traitors of Montenegro and oppose the imperial court?"

Zhao Yi's words pushed these people to the position of traitors, and Zhao Yi's soldiers aimed their guns at the people in the field, and there were few young and middle-aged people among the people, mostly old and weak women and children, seeing the situation at this time, their faces were full of sweat, and they looked at the soldiers in the field worriedly.

At this time, the situation in the field was very delicate, the slaughter was almost imminent, and the spirits of the people and soldiers were tense. Zhao Yi paused for a moment, and the aura of slaughter permeating the scene soaked the bones of the people, and seeing the miserable faces of the people, Zhao Yi opened his mouth and continued: "As a traitor's family, according to the laws of my Han Dynasty, you should be killed!" ”

Tai Shici cooperated with Murong Fu and Zhao Yi tacitly, and after Zhao Yi said this, he ordered his soldiers to move forward with guns, looking at the approaching soldiers, the anxiety on the faces of the people turned to fear, and some of the timid ones were already frightened and fainted. The woman trembled and held the child in her arms, trembling all over.

The soldiers' spears were already less than five steps away from the people, and seeing that the slaughter was about to begin, Zhao Yi, whose face was constantly changing when he walked back and forth on the city gate, seemed to have made some decision, and waved his hand to stop the next move of the officers and soldiers.

The downplay dissolves the solemn atmosphere in the field, and the ups and downs make the hearts of these people almost jump out, because of extreme fear, their whole bodies are shaking unconsciously.

"With your relationship with the Black Mountain Thieves, I should have killed all of you, but I have thought about it for a long time and decided to give you another chance." Zhao Yi glanced at the people below and said with a sigh.

Zhao Yi's words were like the warm spring breeze at this time, which melted the coldness in the hearts of the people, and the people burst into tears, knelt down to Zhao Yi unevenly, and said words of thanks to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi pressed his hands to calm down the people, "The reason for the rebellion of the Montenegrin Army is nothing more than because the plague is rampant in the county, and the people have no way to survive, so they can only take risks. It's just that he did something wrong at the instigation of others, and Ben will be willing to give these people a chance to make amends. ”

When the county commander heard this, he hurriedly echoed two sentences: "General Zhao Yi is like a god, most of the 36 sides of the Yellow Turban died in the hands of General Zhao in the past, and more than 10,000 elite horsemen of Wuhuan were annihilated, and it was even more powerful in Youzhou." The day before yesterday, more than 10,000 bandits under the Bai Rao Division of the Montenegrin Army died at the hands of the general. It's not that General Zhao doesn't have the ability to win battles, but he wants to give your family a chance to make amends. ”

Xingtang is not far from Quyang, and the people in Zhao Yiwei's famous field are naturally thunderous, and seeing so many court soldiers at this time, the heart in the hearts of the people is constantly sinking, how can the 20,000 Black Mountain Army like a rabble be Zhao Yi's opponent.

"Sooner or later, the imperial court will set foot on the Black Mountain thieves, why should we make the funeral offerings of Zhang Yan, Yu Poison and others?" Zhao Yi sang and harmonized with the county order, and these people were in tears, and finally Zhao Yi said, "Tell them, I, Zhao Yi, hope that they will come back as soon as possible." ”

At the end of the conversation, these people knelt down and thanked them and left, according to the soldiers patrolling outside, many people with bags on their backs had walked out of Taihang Mountain. When Zhao Yi heard the news, he hurriedly came to the city gate to check, and looked at the people who were gradually moving away, and a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yi's mouth.

Murong Fu watched these people with low combat strength slowly walk towards Taihang Mountain, and asked Zhao Yi, "My lord, is this move useful?" Aren't you afraid that these people will never return? ”

"Who would want to rebel on a peaceful day? The general can rest assured that as long as these people enter the cottage, they will definitely cause chaos in the hearts of the Black Mountain bandits. Zhao Yi walked back and forth for two steps, and ordered Murong to send a hundred guards to follow behind these people, so that no matter whether he fought with the Black Mountain Army or not, Zhao Yi was sure of winning.

Looking at the people who kept drilling out, Zhao Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, "The people, the city is too shallow." ”

Zhao Yi did not stay in Tang for a long time, and hurried to Quyang. On the day of the first battle of Quyang, Zhao Yi made great contributions, and the people of Quyang respected Zhao Yi a lot, and Zhao Yi said the words that incited the people again, and the repercussions of Quyang County were greater than those of Xingtang. Zhao Yi, who was regarded as the god of war by them, wanted to kill the Changshan Black Mountain Army, which made these people frightened, for fear that their relatives would die under the sabre of Zhao Yi's department.

With these tens of thousands of people entering Taihang Mountain, Zhao Yi had a smile on his face even more, and at this time he could say with certainty that Yu Poison was dead this time. Beckoning his army to follow slowly fifty miles away from the people, if the words of his relatives could not make the prodigal sons of the thieves of the Black Mountain Army turn back, Zhao Yi would teach them a lesson with his saber.

At this time, the Yu Poison Department, which blocked the news and restricted the movement of the soldiers, did not know that Zhao Yi's department actually used this trick to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, he originally thought that Zhao Yi went to Xingtang and Quyang in order to control the families of the Montenegrin Army and force the Montenegrin Army to comply. It is expected that as long as the soldiers are controlled, so that there is no connection between the soldiers and their relatives, then their own tribe will be impregnable.

In fact, Yu Poison wished that Zhao Yi would kill all the family members of the Montenegrin Army, if Zhao Yi really did that, it would definitely make the Montenegrin Army united, and when it confronted Zhao Yi, he would definitely do his best. Moreover, the soldiers under his command learned that the plague had been controlled by the government, and the lives of the people were gradually returning to peace, and the morale of the army was already a little unstable.

In the past two days, there has been no news from Zhao Yi's department, and the more Zhao Yi's department has not moved, the more nervous Yu Yu feels. He wanted to send soldiers to Xingtang and Quyang to check, but he was afraid that the soldiers would care about it and mess up his own strategy. And Tanma, who went to contact the various ministries, had no news at this time, which made Yu Poison feel a little depressed. He was like a wild bird in a cage, ignorant of the outside world.

The leader of his subordinates was comforting Yu Poison, "Don't worry, chief, I expect our troops to visit the horses, and at this time they have arrived in various departments, and the reinforcements will arrive in two days." ”

What the leader said was good, Yu Xuan muttered for a while, "What the general said is good, but if you want to defeat Zhao Yi, I am afraid that you can only compete with it by gathering all the units of my Black Mountain Army." "The Montenegrin army is quite scattered, and if you want to gather them all together, I am afraid that it will take ten days, and I don't know what will happen for such a long time.

Just when the poison and the leader discussed how to deal with Zhao Yi's department, the people of Xingtang and Quyang had already arrived outside Taihang Mountain.
