Gao Shun thought about it for a long time, but he could only rush out of his mouth with such a sentence, he was stupid, and he didn't know how to comfort Wen Han. He knew that the sadness in Wen Han's heart was no less than his.

From the fact that after he returned, he did not immediately inquire about the results of the battle, but went to treat the wounded soldiers, which shows that he was extremely concerned about the soldiers under his command. Now that nearly 3,000 people have died, how can he not grieve.

"Well, Boyi, go down and rest for the time being. The next few days of fighting will be particularly fierce. ”

Gao Shun's mouth opened and opened, and in the end he still didn't know what to say, nodded heavily, and said to Wen Han to take care of his body, and then retreated.

Wen Han stood quietly in a corner, and after standing for a long time, he left.

In the following days, as Wen Han said, the battle with the white dragon thief was still as fierce as the first day, and there were many deaths on both sides every day, whether it was the blood of the thief or the imperial court's military horses, the blood that flowed out was the same blood red, and the mountain was dyed more and more red, so red that people felt enchanted and cold.

In the past few days of fighting, Wen Han has been looking for a breakthrough to win, he used tricks to tempt Hu Cai out of the camp, but Hu Cai knew that Wen Han was scheming, and only fought with Wen Han within 100 meters of his base, and once he exceeded 100 meters, he immediately withdrew his troops, and led the troops very carefully.

In this regard, Wen Han could only do nothing, and the war dragged on.

Unconsciously, the winter is coming to an end, and a ray of sunshine is falling, and on the earthen city of the white dragon thief, the sunlight will shine particularly conspicuously on the earthy city wall.

At this time, Wen Han's Hedong Army still had less than 5,000 people fighting, while the White Dragon Thieves only had more than 13,000 people. Under the earthen city of the white dragon thief, the corpses of the thieves and the Hedong army were piled up, and the red snow covered the corpses, and the cold and low temperature made these corpses not decompose for a while.

"Hu Cai! So many people have died, don't you understand! Today, it is the world of the Han Dynasty, and as a thief, it is impossible for the court to let you gain a foothold! Surrender. The cold winter is coming to an end, and even if I withdraw my troops for the time being, when the winter is over, I will lead a large army to fight against you.

Look at how many corpses are piled up under your city. Among them are my soldiers and horses, and your soldiers and horses, but they were all fellow villagers in Hedong a few years ago. Fellow villagers are killed, can you bear it? Moreover, if you look at the soldiers and horses around you, who are not already exhausted and difficult to fight again.

Have you ever asked them what they want, and they still have to fight? What they want is to go home, to go back to Hedong, and now under the implementation of my tuntian, every household has land to cultivate. When they go back, they don't have to go hungry again!

Hu Cai, don't be insistent anymore, let these Hedong sons who follow you die again! ”

Wen Han led 5,000 soldiers and horses to a hundred meters away from Tucheng, and shouted loudly with emotion. It was the third day that he persuaded Hu Cai to surrender, but Hu Cai, who was standing at the head of the city, had a cold face and shouted violently.

"Champion Wen, let you talk as wildly. I won't believe your nonsense either. The court is mediocre, there is no cure, you may really be willing to work for the welfare of the people of Hedong.

But how long can you sit on this lord of the river? Don't deceive me. I have already learned that if you do not clear all the rebellion in Hedong after three months. You are to present the head of the neck to the court.

And at the moment, even if you can exterminate us, within three months, you still have to exterminate dozens of waves of thieves in the Xihe and southwest areas, and it is impossible for you to complete this task.

When the time comes, you won't even have your life left. Hedong will also change the Taishou again, and at that time, your Tuntian policy will be overturned as soon as possible. The people of Hedong have not returned to the same miserable situation as before, displaced and without land to cultivate!

You can't even save your own life, so why should I believe your nonsense!? ”

"Hu Cai!"

Suddenly, Wen Han roared like a giant tiger. Suddenly frightened Hu Cai.

"Three days, I'll give you three more days. If it's three days later, you're still going to do it. Then I will launch an onslaught and level your earthen city until I withdraw my troops.

Hedong Erlang in the city, you give me Wen Bufan and listen carefully, you are not Hu Cai's puppet, you should have your wishes and ideas.

Anti-thieves are still anti-thieves, and you may be able to be majestic for a few more years with Hu Cai, but it is only a few years, or even shorter. At the beginning, the Yellow Turban Sect had hundreds of thousands of members, but in the end, it was not destroyed under the onslaught of the imperial army and turned into gunpowder loess. You are thieves and thieves who are dead ends.

You are thieves, but you just want to survive. As long as I Wen Bufan is still in Hedong for a day, I guarantee that you will have a house to live in and food to eat.

Now there are only two paths before you. The way of life and the way of death, how should you choose, I hope you will think about it. Think about your family members left in Hedong, people live in this world in this life, not just for themselves. ”

"Shut up, shut up! Wen Bufan, you want to move my military heart! Archers obey orders! Shoot me! Shoot~!!! ”

The more Hu Cai listened, the more unpleasant he felt in his heart, and when he saw the subordinates around him, under Wen Han's fierce words, they were all moved. Suddenly he was furious in his heart, pointed at Wen Han's soldiers and horses, and yelled.

Wen Han silently watched the thieves in the city, then turned his horse's head and led the army back.

And until Wen Han's soldiers and horses retreated hundreds of meters away, the thieves at the head of the city still did not send a single arrow, and they did not listen to Hu Cai's roar, and let Wen Han's soldiers and horses leave.

"How dare you turn against me! Whoever dares to oppose me, I will kill whom!! ”

Hu Cai pulled out the big knife at his waist, his eyes were bloodshot, like an angry bear pounced on the thieves around him. The two thieves were side by side, not expecting their leader to suddenly go crazy and couldn't dodge, Hu Cai's big knife cut off both of their heads at the same time.

Two torrents of blood rain burst out from the severed head and splashed on the faces of the other thieves around them, and only then did they react and hurriedly retreated, looking at Hu Cai with fear and vigilance.

"Big brother, what are you doing here!? They are our own brothers! ”

"That's right, big brother, stop it. The second brother is right, they were born and died for the great cause of the eldest brother, how could the eldest brother kill them for no reason. Calm down, calm down! ”

A big man in a white wolf fur coat and a big man in a black wolf fur coat took a step forward at the same time and persuaded Hu Cai, who was full of hideous eyes. These two people are the second and third leaders of the White Dragon Thief, alias White Wolf and Black Wolf, the two were originally thieves, gathered a lot of subordinates in Bailong Mountain, when Hu Cai went to White Dragon Mountain alone, the two of them took in Hu Cai, and because Hu Cai was brave and ambitious, he gave way to him.

It can be said that Hu can have today, thanks to the two brothers.

"White wolf! Black wolf! You two shut up! These people all want to rebel, the hypocritical Wen Bufan just now is obviously within range, I ordered them to attack, and they actually took my words as the wind in my ears!

They all want to surrender to the court, be the lackeys of the court, and betray you and me! I can't tolerate them! ”

Hu Cai said, his eyes full of anger were cast on several thieves again, and with a wave of his big knife, he strode forward, and wanted to cut at them. The white wolf and the black wolf hurriedly rushed forward and held Hu Cai down, but Hu Cai's body was like a bull and a tiger, and he was furious, his body shook, and as soon as his feet were raised, he threw the two aside.

"Woo woo, big boss don't. I waited until I knew I was wrong! ”

The thieves who were regarded as targets by Hu Cai were so frightened that they were about to cry, and several of them shrank in a corner, looking at the big knife held high by Hu Cai, all of them with fear and despair on their faces.

But Hu Cai didn't hear it, and then there was a shuddering sound of knives and screams of people resounding throughout the entire Tucheng.

In this fierce battle with the imperial army for several days, although Hu Cai's White Dragon Righteous Army had an absolute advantage in numbers, the casualties each time were far greater than those of the imperial court. Although the soldiers and horses of the court are few, the more they fight, the more brave they become, and the number of people killed in battle is getting smaller and smaller each time, but Hu Cai's side is more and more every time.

Perhaps because of this, Hu Cai became more and more tyrannical, irritable, and angry with his men and horses at every turn. And as soon as you do it, you will see blood.

The reason why Hu Cai is like this, perhaps, is that he faintly found that there are more and more people in this earth city, and there are signs of wanting to join the imperial court. In the past few days, the fighting spirit and morale of the men and horses under his command have become more and more low. And Hu Cai was very anxious, but he didn't know how to do it, and in the end, he had to follow his irritable temperament and use the method of killing chickens and monkeys to try to suppress the dissent of these people and improve their morale.

It's just that generals and leaders who use violence to subdue people's hearts will never end well.

That night, the two brothers of black wolf and white wolf and dozens of small leaders gathered in a certain earthen house in Tucheng, at this time it was the third watch, except for some of the thieves in Tucheng had fallen asleep, the other thieves were waiting quietly in their rooms. All of them are waiting for the orders of the black wolf and the white wolf.

"Second brother, this Hu Cai is simply a tyrant, stubborn and cruel. This kind of person can't be followed anymore. Otherwise, sooner or later, he will let the rest of his brothers die! ”

"The words of the third brother are also what I think in my heart. Many of my brothers told me that they wanted to go back to Hedong. Many of them have received letters from their families in Hedong. Wen Guanguan didn't lie to me, now it is indeed in Hedong, every household has a field to cultivate and a house to live in.

Wen Guanguan is willing to work for the welfare of the people of Hedong and treat you and my family well, but we are fighting against him, which is really ungrateful. I plan to tie up Hu Cai tonight and dedicate him to Champion Wen as atonement for our previous injustice. Brothers, what do you think? ”

"The second leader understands righteousness. So much better. ”

"That's right. What's more, according to the situation of the battle in the past few days, if we continue to fight, we will definitely lose. The brothers at the bottom all have the intention of returning home, and they don't have the slightest will to fight, so they can't fight at all. ”

"Hmm. Champion Wen has given an ultimatum, today is in the past, and in two days, Champion Wen will lead the army to fight to the death with us. I don't want to die with Hu Cai. So I also agree with the bicep. ”

“……..”

In the earthen house, the dozens of small leaders expressed their opinions one after another, and without exception, they all agreed to tie up Hu Cai and dedicate it to Wen Han.

"Well, since all the brothers agree. Then, later, you will go back and lead your subordinates and horses, listen to my slogans, and once my third brother and I successfully arrest Hu Cai, you will immediately lead the troops to suppress the others. ”

The white wolf's eyes shone with extremely sharp light, and he whispered. After hearing this, the small leaders present nodded their heads one after another, indicating their understanding.

After a while, waiting for the little leaders to leave, the white wolf and the black wolf walked out of the earthen house and walked slowly towards Hu Cai's house.

At this time, Hu Cai, who didn't know that he had been betrayed by his subordinates, was in a dream that had appeared in his mind countless times.
