As soon as Jiang Gong came out of his residence, he met the leader of the guards, and the leader of the guards shouted: "Qu Shuai's big thing is not good, the four city walls have been attacked by officers and soldiers, the south gate has been opened, and the officers and soldiers are constantly pouring in, what should I do." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Jiang Gong was in a hurry, and hurriedly went out of the county government to inspect, only to see that all around was shouting and persuading to surrender, and the sound came straight to the county government. Jiang Gong was panicked and didn't know what to do, his soft temperament immediately attacked, and he waved his long sleeves and shouted: "That's it, that's it, I'm not a person who can do things after all, it's useless to resist, it's better to go quickly." ”

The leader of the guards exclaimed: "Qu Shuai, can't I wait to resist?" ”

Jiang Gong shouted frantically: "No, no." From now on, I have no huge wealth on my side, and no one will look at me anymore, so I will escape into the mountains and forests and grow old forever. After saying that, he rode on the war horse when the leader of the guards came, and fled frantically to the north of the city. The leader of the guards stomped his feet and sighed, but after all, he could only chase after him.

After a battle in the middle of the night, the original deer thieves were unable to resist because there was no one to command, and the more people surrendered. By dawn, the resistance was all extinguished, except for a small number of thieves who escaped from the north gate because Zhu Li could not intercept them, the original deer thieves were wiped out. The Zhaoling army and the servant army beheaded 1,100 people, captured 4,700 people, and lost more than 300 soldiers.

Qiu Rui and the generals sat down in the county office, and Qiu Rui said with a smile: "In this battle, it is all thanks to the strength of the eldest brother to achieve a great victory, and the eldest brother can be said to be the first person to make the contribution in this battle." ”

Qiu Yi shook his hand and said: "Where do I have the ability to make this battle a big victory, it all depends on the strategy of my subordinate generals. ”

Qiu Rui shook his head and smiled: "Since he is under the command of the eldest brother, the merits he has made naturally belong to the eldest brother, and it is a big deal to reward him in private, so the eldest brother should not be humble." Yes, when he came, the lord general said that the wealth that should be seized will be handed over to the lord and the general except for 20%, and we can arrange the rest by ourselves. The eldest brother has won the first merit, and he can take one percent of the wealth as a reward, and the other soldiers and I will take half of it, and the tun generals will each take one point, and the rest will be rewarded to all the soldiers. When Uncle Q counts the money, he can issue ......"

Qiu Rui said about the reward and the follow-up military arrangements, but Qiu Yi calculated in his heart: The main general is twenty percent, I am one percent, the second brother and the military are twenty percent, and the thirty generals are thirty percent, so only twenty percent is left for nearly 3,000 sergeants, aren't you afraid that the sergeants will make trouble?

Looking at the excited generals, Qiu Yi didn't want to offend everyone, so he decided to reward the generals in the name of Qiu Rui with his own reward, and gather the hearts of the army for Qiu Rui. No, not long after returning to the temporary residence in the city, Lu Pingchengqi carried back a bag of gold cakes, which amounted to 200 gold. Qiu Yi was shocked: "How much is Yicheng's wealth? ”

Lu Ping said with a smile: "How not, thieves loot the land of a county, and collect a lot of money, naturally no less than hundreds of millions of dollars, and tens of millions of dollars are considered to be relatively peaceful for thieves." Most of the gains from the first two battles were fed by the county lord alone, so there was only a lot of money to reward us. If it weren't for that, how would Cheng Qi and I hide the gold cake privately? This time, the second son is the main general, and the second son is not greedy, so naturally he has distributed more. Each pawn received a reward of about 2,000 yuan, which was ten times the reward of ordinary generals. The soldiers shouted long live the second son, and the heart of this army has been taken by the second son. ”

Qiu Yi was stunned for a moment, and Liang Jiufang smiled bitterly: "I see, no wonder the victorious general will be liked by people, first, the chances of survival have greatly increased, and second, there are often wealth taken from the enemy to be rewarded." I've learned another method. Alas, murder and arson are really the only way to make a fortune. Even if it is a defeated army, if the main general orders the slaughter of the city, it will surely increase morale and win the support of the soldiers. ”

Lu Ping responded: "Who said no, a general will attack the city and ten thousand bones will wither, there will be both the enemy, and naturally there will be the other." The victorious army is okay, and most of the people slaughtered are the enemy. It is not good for an army that is often defeated, and most of the slaughter is its own people......"

Qiu Yi and the three of them were silent for a while, and after a long time, Qiu Yi said: "Lu Ping, you and Cheng Qi will exchange my reward for five baht coins and reward the soldiers under my command." ”

Lu Ping hurriedly said: "The master can't, the power of reward and punishment should be in the master's own hands, and it must not be easily given to others, otherwise the military heart will not belong to the master." ”

Qiu Yi was stunned again, and Fang thanked him: "Thank you, I will remember this matter in the future." Yes, can an ordinary soldier reward 2,000 yuan, not more than the reward of the second brother? ”

Lu Ping also shook his head and said: "No, there should be a difference between class and intimacy in the army, and you must not treat everyone equally, otherwise there will be chaos for a long time, or no one will be willing to do your best." For example, the master's own guards can be rewarded with 5,000 yuan each. For example, Che La, Tian Brown and other recruited soldiers, each person can be rewarded with 3,000 yuan. The servant soldiers were rewarded with a thousand dollars each. In this way, the soldiers and servants of the Tomb Soldiers will fight bravely to kill the enemy in order to make progress. In order to protect the treatment of the pro-guards, they must swear to protect the master to the death, and this side is the best strategy for the unified army. ”

Qiu Yi nodded yes, hugged his fists and thanked Lu Ping again, and at the same time invited Che La, Tian Palm, Che Jing, Qiu Gong and other generals to come and receive the reward. Qiu Yi and the generals commented on each person's combat exploits, and also divided the first battle merits, Tian Palm was the first meritorious service, and received a reward of 30 gold alone, the second meritorious service was 15 gold for Che La, Che Jing and Qiu Gong were each rewarded with 10 gold, and each team was rewarded with 5 gold. With such a point, Qiu Yi himself only has twelve or thirteen gold left.

Qiu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, no wonder the incorruptible and famous generals who are good at raising soldiers often have no money to spare. However, since he is generous to others, Qiu Yi will not be stingy. Because the effect of generosity is obvious, just look at the fanatical reverence of the sergeants at all levels for the Qiu brothers, and you can see the effect.

Recuperated in the original Lucheng for three days, there was a rumor in the direction of the thought of the horse, Ye Cun and the first army fought with the Fubo thieves the day before yesterday, and finally lost more than half of the troops because they were outnumbered, and now they have been defeated and returned to the city of Qisi. The thief will Shen Cheng with more than 8,000 people, and he is now heading towards Qisi City. The soldiers who followed Ye Cun's defeat were unstable, and they were afraid that the city would not be protected, so Gong Zhangte ordered Qiu Rui's department to quickly turn around and think about the rescue.

Qiu Rui had no intention of laughing at Ye's loss, and urgently summoned the generals to discuss, and then decided that Qiu Yi would stay in the original Lucheng and lead 500 Zhaoling troops and 4,000 servant troops to return to the rescue.

Qiu Yi stood at the head of the city and saw Qiu Rui lead the army away, and he sighed in his heart, he was a useless son-in-law of Zhaoling a month ago, but at this time he was already the guard of a county. Because of the military and political affairs of a county for the first time, I was still quite frightened in my heart. Qiu Yi has 500 soldiers, more than 1,000 soldiers, and hundreds of wounded soldiers who need to be cared for, and there are many things. However, the pawn is determined, the garrison of the original deer city is perfect, and the grain and grass are sufficient, so it is quite easy to defend the original deer. However, the original deer land is close to the Yellow Turban Thieves, He Yi and He Man's Xin Cai, and Liu Pi, Huang Shao, and Gong Du's Ruyin County, if these two thieves take advantage of the news to attack, I am afraid it will not be good.

Qiu Yi consulted with his generals and sent sentinels to investigate the enemy's situation in the direction of Xincai County, Ruyin County and Fubo County, and sent several teams of soldiers and horses to clear out the remnants of the thieves in the territory of Yuanlu, so as to resume production in the future.

A few days later, there was information back, Zhao Qian, the guard of Runan County, attacked Qiyang a few days ago, and the Yellow Turban thief He Yi and He Man's brothers gathered 50,000 troops to confront Zhao Qian in Ge Pi. Liu Pi, Huang Shao, and Gong all led 30,000 troops to the east to enter Peiguo Longkang, testing the movement of the Yuzhou Assassination History Department. The remaining thieves of these two parts were powerless to threaten the original Lucheng, which made Qiu Yibu breathe a sigh of relief.

There was also news in the direction of Qi Si, Qiu Rui turned around and led the troops to fight with the thief leader Shen Cheng, Shen Cheng was defeated, and retreated towards Fubo County. Later, with the assistance of the 4,000 thieves of the Qu Palace, Fang stopped the defeat and confronted Qiu Rui across the river from Huaishui at the turn of the two counties. The original Lucheng was fine, and Qiu Yi suddenly took action. Coincidentally, at this time, the sentry team in the direction of Fubo led the high area to attract a strong man to ask for an audience.

The strong man touched his head about twenty times, which was the same age as Qiu Yi, and when he saw Qiu Yi's head, he bowed and said: "The villain, Deng Dang, a native of Dengjiapi Village, Fubo County, greets the general." ”

Qiu Yi picked up Deng Dang and asked, "Strong man, please get up, I don't know who you are in the village?" Why are you here? ”

Deng Dangbai said: "The villain is a light man in the village, he has always been bold, and because of the yellow turban moth thieves, he was raised by the villagers as the leader of the guards. He also married the patriarch of the Lu clan in the neighboring village, and became each other's sons-in-law to fight against the moth thieves. Recently, I heard that the original Lu Er County returned to the rule of the court. The villagers specially invited me to go to Qisi County to make friends with the officials and soldiers, and to think of recovering Fubo County. And because there were thieves and soldiers in front of him, he turned to the original deer. ”

Qiu Yi was very happy when he saw Deng Dang talking eloquently and having some talents, and asked, "Oh, are there still many villagers in Fubo County who have never been thieves?" ”

Deng Dang explained: "It has been less than three months since the eastern counties of Runan County fell into the hands of thieves, and most of the villagers who were coerced by thieves were close to the city or the main road. For example, there are more than 10 villages in Fubo County, and more than 2,000 households have not yet surrendered to thieves. Basically, they are guarded like Dengjiapi Village and Lujiagang Village. ”

Qiu Yi said: "Our army and the thieves are facing each other in Huaishui, and the winner has not yet been decided, and the original Lucheng soldiers are only one thousand and five intact, and at most a thousand troops can be sent to attack Fubo." I heard that there are still 2,000 thieves in the Fubo Qu Palace, and if you defend the city, you are afraid that it will be difficult. I wonder how many people you are waiting for me to help me attack the city? Or is there another way to take over the city? ”

Deng Dangyu said: "It's hard to say what he does, but my Dengjiapi Village and Lujiagang Village have a total of 400 people, and 300 people can help the general capture the city." In addition, my father-in-law had been working in the county to repair the city wall for the county the year before last, and there was a section of the three-zhang long city wall that was not well worked, and it was very easy to collapse......"

Two days later, Qiu Yi led thousands of troops to five miles on the outskirts of Fubo City under the leadership of Deng Dang. There are many ponds in Fubo County, which are convenient for irrigation and easy to hide the army.

Although Qiu Yi admired Deng Dang, he didn't fully believe him, after all, he came to the door in person, and he didn't know the details. Although the army has been led to the outskirts of the city, it is not willing to easily go forward and take the city.

Deng Dang hurriedly said: "The general has gone to the city, but why did he retreat?" ”

Qiu Yifei said: "Although the city wall is easy to collapse, it also needs to be excavated by manpower. The three-zhang city wall can be excavated by up to ten people at the same time, but how much can the power of ten people have? Under the guard of thieves, it is difficult to dig up even an hour. The casualties in this hour are not small. That's why I decided to switch from sneak attack to a feint. ”
