That night, Ye Xin and Chen Feishi discussed the withdrawal of the naval army to the Yongxing River, and Bailiyan led people to pick people among the captives, but those who were willing to join the Xian army were not prosecuted for their previous crimes, and their natives and foreigners were treated equally, and they could accumulate war achievements and be rewarded and move upward.

Regarding the brainwashing propaganda of the cult of the Black Turban Army, Bai Liyan immediately carried out political and ideological propaganda, asked people to read out the "Letter to the People of the World" on the spot, and personally demonstrated classic deception techniques such as fishing for copper coins in an oil pot and turning gold and silver into gold and silver out of thin air.

The so-called oil pot to catch copper coins, in fact, is to pour two-thirds of the vinegar into the pot first, and then add one-third of the oil, the density of the oil is less than the vinegar, so it will always float on the vinegar, and the boiling point of the vinegar is very low, far lower than the water, and so the lower layer of vinegar boiling, the upper layer of the oil temperature is still very low, the oil and water are boiling because the lower part of the vinegar is boiling, but the temperature is much lower than a hundred degrees of boiling water, which then causes the illusion that the oil is also boiling.

This kind of deceptive tricks can deceive the ignorant people of the Bronze Age, but where can they deceive Bailiyan, who is a person in two lives. When it came to the mouth of the Black Turban Army, those who could get off the oil pot became gods and mortals. As for the magic game of turning gold and silver out of thin air, it is a deceptive magic game, which is only used to deceive the world and steal fame.

Tens of thousands of fake gold were even found in the seizure, and fake gold, as an important means of plundering the economy in the areas occupied by the Black Turban Army, has been found on the way to the west, and the common people in the occupied areas are so rich that they can almost see fake gold at will.

As the so-called real gold is not afraid of fire, Bailiyan used fire to grill fake gold and real gold in front of everyone, and immediately exposed the scam of the Black Turban Army on the spot. If someone doesn't believe it, Bai Liyan gave him a pound of fake gold on the spot, sent him on the boat and escorted to Chenling, if he can spend this pound of fake gold in Chenling, Bailiyan immediately promised to give him a pound of real gold.

As soon as the words came out, the prisoner who had previously kept illusions about the Black Turban Army had to bow his head in the face of reality.

According to the previous interrogation of the prisoners of different natures, it was learned that there was a set of institutions in the Black Turban Army that were similar to the political propaganda department, called the "Holy Order".

The Holy Orders Division dispatched missionary-like envoys to the army and occupied areas to propagate the cult ideas propagated by the Black Turban Army to the soldiers and the common people.

All conscripted prisoners were dispersed to various armies and battalions in order to dilute their harmfulness.

The recruitment of prisoners and the placement of personnel lasted until noon the next day, the Xian army changed into the uniforms of the Black Turban Army, gathered the men and horses, the front, middle and rear armies arranged columns to march, more than 20,000 prisoners and donkeys and horses marched slowly, Ye Xin ordered Gu Zhong to lead the headquarters to drive after the break, if the Black Turban Army cavalry pursued, immediately abandon the prisoners, and join the brigade.

The pioneer battalion of Bailiyan (Wei Xian) was the first to hit the road, and on the way, Sikong Nan was summoned to explain to him in detail about the deception:

"Brother Sikong, Shao Ping's battle is very important, how sure do you think you can blend into the city?"

"Shao Ping is 1,500 or 600 miles away from the Yongxing River, and we should not expect the movement of our army, as long as we get to the city, we are seventy or eighty percent sure that we can knock on the gate of Shao Ping." Sikong Nan affirmed.

"Will you encounter Shao Ping's acquaintances?"

"The last general didn't have many enemies in Shaoping, and many officials died in the Minhe Revolution back then, even if they knew each other, most of them were fellow villagers, and there shouldn't be any enemies."

"Well, it's the best, I'm afraid I'm afraid of meeting someone I don't know. Outside the city of Shaoping, your troops will take off all the chain mail, and will select elite soldiers from all departments to transfer into your camp, in case they are found out after entering the city, if the enemy army is less than 5,000, they will immediately start to take the city. If it is more than 5,000, and fight and retreat, don't fall in love. ”

"The last general obeys!"

Shao Ping is far behind the front line, the defenders can't be too many, the armor will not be stronger than the regular army, Sikong Nan's 2,000 people are all elite soldiers, as long as they enter Shao Ping, even if they attack, they will not suffer too much.

More than 50,000 people of Ye Xin's department marched westward for four consecutive days at a speed of 90 to 100 li a day, and arrived 30 li south of Shaoping at dusk on the fourth day. Gu Zhong, who was in charge of the broken end, traveled for nearly half a day with more than 20,000 prisoners, donkeys and horses.

The speed of the donkey is far less than that of the horse, the temper is also stubborn, and he can stumble at every turn, Gao Xun had praised the donkey for being easy to use, and the whole army should supplement the lack of horses with donkeys, and now it seems that Gao Xun has no grassroots experience.

The donkey is used as a coolie, and it is not a big problem to use it as a mount. But donkeys are different from horses, horses have a gentle temper, are honest, and listen to people.

When thousands of donkeys act together, as long as one donkey is stubborn, a donkey call can immediately infect the entire donkey herd, and the other donkeys will stop and observe the situation, no matter how they can't catch up. In such a situation, in the event of an enemy attack, the consequences are unimaginable.

However, people are not stupid, and Gu Zhong was annoyed and came to kill chickens and monkeys in front of all the donkeys.

Donkeys are timid by nature, a group of donkeys are together, the first donkey is disobedient, the whole donkey herd will follow, Gu Zhong directly slaughtered the donkey who committed the crime, made the donkey group honest with blood and screams, and then continued to hurry.

It is said that so many animals should be killed on the spot if they cannot be taken away during wartime, and they cannot be obtained by themselves, nor can they be left to the enemy, so as to destroy the enemy's productive forces to the greatest extent.

Of course, Ye Xin and Bai Liyan knew this truth, how could they be that the labor and manpower in the rear were tight, and only half of the country was left, and it was impossible to use a population of 4.5 million to support an army of more than 300,000 and nearly 500,000 people.

The army was camped thirty miles away from Shaoping, and Sikong Nan led two thousand elite soldiers to ride to Shaoping's deception. At the same time, Bailiyan ordered Su Hong and Lu Gao to step up their rest in the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night, with the help of night, they went with him to ambush near Shaoping.

Sikong Nan's department rode a horse and raised his handle, swaggering to Shaoping City It was already late at night, Shaoping defenders found that a large group of men and horses were coming outside the city, and immediately beat the war drums, and the fire at the head of the city reflected the red of the city.

"Who's coming?" The night watchman asked in a Sun Guo accent.

Sikong Nan immediately stepped forward and responded:

"This general is the department of the Longyuan Heavenly King, and he will pass through Shaoping tonight, so don't you hurry up and open the city to greet him!"

"The general is also Shao Pingren's family, dare to ask the name of the honorable surname!" Guarding the way.

"Pioneer Commander Sikong Nan, hurry up and open the city to welcome!"

"Please wait for a while, and after the general asks for instructions, it is not too late to open the door!"

After that, the guard left the city and rode to the Taishou Mansion.

Shao Ping's puppet Taishou had already fallen asleep at this time, and Sangen finally got up from the couch in the middle of the night, and his crotch was still wet.

Opening his mouth and yawning, Tai Shou looked at the guard with sleepy eyes, and asked lazily in a fluent Sun Guo accent:

"What the hell ...... it?"

"Lord Qiyu, the Heavenly King of Longyuan passed through Shaoping on his way north, and a commander from Shaoping asked to open the door to welcome him."

"Dragon Yuan Heavenly King!" Hearing the belief in the Longyuan Heavenly King, Taishou, who was stunned in confusion, was shocked, and immediately sobered up a lot: "How many people do they have?" ”

"I saw about 2,000 people, and the brigade is probably still in the south, I don't know the exact number."

"The Heavenly King of Longyuan is fighting in the Xu Kingdom, how can he go north to the Xian Kingdom. And how could there be a commander of Shao Ping of Xianguo serving under Long Yuan. General Cheng Ye, will there be fraud in it? ”

Tai Shouhu said suspiciously, and the guard general Cheng Ye shook his head:

"Unlikely. Last year, Zhiguo got 300,000 slaves at one time, of which there were more than 100,000 Xianguo people, and there should be no problem with the Xianguo people under the command of Longyuan Heavenly King. Moreover, the Xian army is far away on the banks of the Yongxing River, according to which 15,600 miles of land, how can they come here to earn the city.

Unless the Shengyan Heavenly King suffered a big defeat and let the Xian army attack. But even so, it is impossible to have no news at all. Lord Taishou, the king of heaven is not easy to mess with, why don't you go out of the city to greet him? ”

"Does anyone have a waist card?"

"No, didn't the last general get his hands on it either?" Cheng Yedao.

"Let's go, go with this official to find out."

"Yes, sir."

The generals and officers above the commander of the armies of the countries have waist cards, and the centurion, the chief, and the commander of the army are not distributed, only the military cards written in ink on the wooden cards, because the number of junior officers is huge, the death rate is too high, and the waist cards are mostly carved, which is time-consuming and laborious, so the waist cards are only distributed at the level above the chief. The same is roughly true for the Black Turban Army, with only the Commander, the Commander and other special personnel being issued waist cards.

Since the Black Turban Army started the incident, it has been busy expanding its territory and cleaning up internal affairs, and it is not until the first month of this year that a batch of waist cards have been issued, and not everyone has them. More than two-thirds of the commanders, holy envoys, and other key members still haven't gotten their waist cards, and the administration is extremely chaotic, which leaves an opportunity for deception and deception.

Taishou and the guard general Cheng Ye rode to the south of the city and gathered all the horses to prevent a change.

When I came to the city, I looked down and saw that the darkness outside the city was overwhelming, and everyone stood at night with a torch in their hands, which did not look like a fraud.

Seeing this, Taishou shouted:

"General under the city, where is the Heavenly King of Longyuan?"

At this time, Sikong Nan said in a somewhat tough tone:

"The king of heaven is still thirty miles away, hurry up to open the city to meet the preparation of grain and grass, if you miss the military plane, do you wait for the sin?"

Sikong Nan said, Taishou asked the slightly shorter guard on his side:

"General Bai He, this person claims to be Shao Ping Sikong Nan, serving under the command of the Longyuan Heavenly King, have you ever heard of it?"

Bai He frowned, and he couldn't see the appearance of the person in the dark, but the voice was very familiar:

"Lord Taishou, this person's voice is very familiar, why don't you ask him?"

"Okay, you go ask him."

Bai Hao came to the female wall, and looked down:

"Who's coming, but Sikong Nan?"

Sikong Nan only felt that the voice was familiar, and thought that it must be Shao Ping's acquaintance:

"In Shimono Nan, Your Excellency is also an old man."

"You are really Sikong Nan, I am Bai He!"

Sikong Nan was also taken aback dimly:

"Brother Bai He! You are the Bai He brother of Dianrong Village. ”

"Yes, yes!" Bai He was overjoyed: "I don't want you to be alive." ”

"Since they are all their own brothers, what to do in the way, the Heavenly King of Longyuan is camped thirty miles away, which annoys the Heavenly King, and it is difficult for me to explain my brother."

Bai He and Sikong Nan were in the same village, and they were in the main house together to take care of the home, and after the civil uprising that year, the two of them each defected to the rebels, and then lost contact. never thought that Bai He would mix back with Shao Ping and become a pawn of the Black Turban Army.
