"Wheels! Wheel!

The wheels turned, and the carriages slowly drove towards Shouchun. The carriage was lined up in a long line, winding and long, especially the carriage was very heavy, and the horses pulling the carriage looked very tired.

This scene was personally arranged by Shi Jian in accordance with Yu Ban's strategy.

Shi Jian rode on the horse, his eyes kept rolling, and he looked at the situation around him. The first two times the grain sent to Shouchun was robbed by bandits here. This time, Shi Lian made a big show of grain and grass in order to attract bandits. The thought of being able to take down all the bandits made Shi Jian a little excited in his heart.

Han Hao followed Li Tong on the expedition, he seemed panicked in Shouchun, and there were bandits to have fun to pass the time.

"General, will the bandits not come?"

A small colonel followed Shi A, his eyes rolled from side to side, he glanced twice, and saw that the road on both sides was empty, and there was no figure, and asked in a low voice.

"Crow's beak!"

Shi Jian snorted and said confidently: "The bandits are short of food, and there is a large amount of grain passing by, they will definitely come." Although they know that there is danger, the bandits are all begging for a living on the edge of the knife, and if they don't rob, there will be no food. We waited slowly, waiting for the bandits to come and rob the grain, and then we could make a contribution. ”

The junior colonel sneered: "The general is wise! ”

Shi Jian shook his head, his eyes paying attention to the situation around him.

He has nothing to do in Shouchun now, he knew that he was so free, he should have taken the initiative to ask Ying, and also followed Li Tong to Xuzhou to fight the Shu army, and it was refreshing to fight on the battlefield.

Shi Lian's ears moved, and he heard a rush of footsteps.

Here it comes!

Shi Lian's heart moved, and he ordered the junior colonel beside him: "The bandits are here, let the brothers cheer up." ”

After hearing this, the colonel hurriedly conveyed the order.

The 700 soldiers who were on their way got the news, but they still pretended not to know and continued on their way.

It didn't take long for a group of ragged bandits to appear on the hillside on the right side of the road. One of them, riding on a horse, with a large knife in his hand, bared his black teeth, and shouted: "Brothers, the officers and soldiers have sent food again. Let's go, rob the fuck. With this batch of food, we don't have to go hungry, in order not to be hungry, kill Lao Tzu. ”

The bandits listened to the leader's encouraging words, and opened their throats and yelled.

A messy roar rang out, without the slightest momentum.

The position where the bandits came out was in the middle of the convoy, which could disrupt the ranks of the officers and soldiers as quickly as possible.

When Shi Jian heard the words of the bandit leader, he knew that the bandits in front of him were a rabble. The bandits rushed down, and the officers and soldiers in the center of the convoy quickly retreated as before, not fighting the bandits. Shi Jian sneered in his heart, the officers and soldiers did disperse, but they gradually formed a circle, surrounding the bandits, and not allowing the bandits to escape.

"It's not good, the box is full of stones, and it's a trick."

"My mother, it's all stones, I've been tricked, run away, run away."

Hurried and panicked roars rang out one after another, and the bandits immediately went into disarray. These bandits lacked training, and when they encountered an emergency, they immediately wilted, and they no longer had the arrogance they had before.

Shi Lian rode his horse and galloped, shouting: "You are surrounded, those who descend will not be killed!" ”

The number of bandits was only about 200, but Shi Ah had 700 soldiers, as well as soldiers who carried food. There is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and the bandits are far from being the opponent of Shi Lian's seven hundred soldiers.

If you choose to resist, you will definitely kill yourself.

"Master Jun, the little one surrenders, the villain surrenders!"

When the leader of the bandits heard Shi Lian's words, his eyes rolled slightly, and he glanced at the bright swords of the officers and soldiers, no longer resisted, and simply threw away the weapons in his hands, kneeling on the ground and surrendering.

When the rest of the bandits saw this, they knelt down and surrendered.

Shi Jian showed a look of disdain in his eyes, and sneered: "The guy who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, but the officers and soldiers who escort the grain in various counties are also bad seeds, and when they encounter such bandits, they all rob the grain, a group of fools." ”

The little colonel followed next to Shi Jian and said in a low voice: "General, the bandits are useless, let's kill them all." ”

Shi Jian thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Although the general led the troops to fight the thieves, he did not have the right to kill these people. ”

The junior colonel said: "The junior general is not thoughtful, but the general is wise. ”

Shi Jian rode up to the bandit leader and asked, "Ben will ask you, what about the grain that was robbed the first two times?" ”

The thief snorted and cried, and said in a sobbing voice: "Back to the military master, the grain that was robbed the first two times has been distributed to the people. Lord, we are all the people around us, not real bandits. Because the pot could not be opened at home, they quietly gathered together and pretended to be thieves to rob grain. Master Jun, please spare us, we will definitely not do it again. ”

Shi Jian snorted and shouted, "Want to leave? How can it be so easy. Come, take them up, and bring them back to Shouchun. ”

When the bandit leader heard this, a smile flashed on the corner of his mouth.

Next, Shi Jian ordered the soldiers to push all the boxes containing stones out of the carriage and return to the city with the empty carriage. Shi Jian looked at the group of bandits who were moving forward with their heads bowed, and a burst of joy suddenly rose in his heart. Such a bandit can come a few more times, come to a group, he catches a group, and there is nothing to do anyway.

Shi Jian led the army back to the city and imprisoned the bandits in the county jail.

Next, I went to the Assassin's Mansion to meet Yu Ban.

Shi Jian told the matter of the bandits, and Leng Cheng said: "General, a total of 200 bandits have been arrested this time, and all of them have been brought back and imprisoned in the prison of the county government. Although the thieves are pretended to be by the people, they cannot be opened and must be severely punished in order to play the role of killing chickens and monkeys. The last general suggested that all the bandits be beheaded for public display to warn the people. ”

After hearing this, Yu Ban shook his head slightly.

Shi Jian asked, "General, why not?" ”

Yu Ban said in a deep voice: "The situation in Shouchun is unstable, and we can't make people panic. Besides, we don't have many troops, so two hundred bandits can be trained to defend the city. Or, use these two hundred bandits as logistical soldiers. In this way, they are given a way to live, and these bandits will be grateful to Dade. ”

"General, they're bandits." Shi Lian's expression was serious, and he said loudly: "As the saying goes, thieves are difficult to change, even if these thieves are co-opted, they are not easy to use. Once the news of the bandits' co-optation spreads, it will definitely have a worse impact, and maybe countless people will rob the grain one after another, thinking that the adults will be gracious and take them into the army. ”

Yu Ban thought for a while and said, "In this case, use them as slaves, build city walls, and carry grain. ”

Shi Jian said at this time: "The general is wise. ”

After a careful discussion between the two, Shi Lian turned around and left the study to carry out the order to use the captured two hundred bandits as slaves to carry grain and build city walls.

Time passed, and the night grew darker.

Since the bandits were locked up in the county jail, none of the bandits wore shackles or so on, and they were able to move freely in the prison. Once there is a problem with the bandits, there are still soldiers patrolling the night in the prison, and Shi Lian is not worried about the problems of the bandits. In the dim light, the bandit leader sat up and whistled.

When the surrounding bandits heard this, they all woke up.

"General, it's almost time, get ready for action." The man close to the bandit leader whispered.

The leader of the bandits is not a bandit, but a general of the Shu army.

This person is none other than Zhu Huan, the general. He took two hundred soldiers to pretend to be bandits, robbed the grain, and then waited for the Wei army to encircle and suppress it, and then took the opportunity to surrender and blend into Shouchun City.
