With the faint resounding of the "Song of the Guerrilla Army" in the distance, the whistling military array rushed through the field like a gray tide, and slowly appeared outside the Zhending City, and then surrounded the location in all directions with overlapping echelons that could not be seen in the edge.

And the banner of the governor of Hebei Xingtai, which was fluttering in the past on the head of Zhending City, has already been taken down together with some hands-off equipment, and only a bunch of bare Chengheng remains.

Outside the city gate of the middle road, the remaining civil and military generals and officials of Hebei Xingtai led by Zhang Bangchang had already lined up in front of them with their bare hands and formed loose large and small formations.

Zhang Bangchang, who was the first to wear a plain white cloth shirt without logo, was actually a middle-aged man over forty years old, not tall and with fine white skin but full of some kind of pampered and long-lived taste, with a beautiful and neat beard on his chin and his hair scattered, and it was difficult to hide the deep sunken eye bags and loose wrinkles on his sad face, as if he had suddenly aged a lot in a short period of time.

"Sinner Zhang, meet the Governor of Beiping. Make the king noble. ”

His voice sounded hoarse and dry, and he took the initiative to bow down in front of my horse's hooves, still holding in his hand a few seals wrapped in silk cloth, and raised his head and said loudly.

"Since then, the city has been closed up and down, but it has been disposed of."

Then, as if he were a domino reflex, he knelt down and was as short as the rice fields of various countries, and even the defenders standing at the head of the city were no exception.

This sense of conquest and accomplishment of immediately bowing down to the crowd, begging for mercy and killing and snatching, Rao is very comfortable and happy, and can't help but be intoxicated.

However, I just looked at him condescendingly on the horse, did not speak or say anything, and then looked at him over and over again, with the crowd of people kneeling down behind him.

Until,Among the relatives around me, there are also people who reconfirm his identity.,It's indeed a deity and not a stand-in used to hide people's ears or something.,So that the last bit of sincerity that the other party can only ask for surrender in desperation.,It can also be guaranteed.。。

"If you knew this was the case, why bother with increasing troops and casualties."

Then, according to the preplan, I opened my mouth in a proper manner

"What the envoy said is very true."

Then I saw him move a few more steps from his knees in the dust, almost to the distance of being trampled by the hooves of my advancing horse

"Sinners are foolish and covetous, and do not know the number of days, until the last one."

"Please have mercy on you. . . ."

"Let me lead the way."

I interrupted his self-destructive remarks.

"Let me see how sincere you are..."

Then after a rough look at the troops and civil and military subordinates who came out with him to surrender, and then collected and organized them in batches and one by one, and sent people to take over the seven gates of Zhending City, I was able to lead Zhang Bangchang, who personally held the reins, in the huge waves of joy and thunder of the soldiers of all departments above and below the city, I slowly entered this rather majestic and vast Zhending City.

However, when I walked through the square outer urn city and the long straight and horizontal streets of the outer Guoli, and entered the knowledge of the inner city, I suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood in the air.

"This is also to make Jun Mingjian one or two, they are all some people who don't know how to measure their strength."

Before I could ask, Zhang Bangchang, who was leading the horse in front of him and was sweating a little, turned his head and showed a sincere expression and couldn't wait to explain.

"I also want to hook up with the thieves in Hedong Province and do that big thing."

"So I had to go first and ask them to go on the road."

"Most of them are wealthy and powerful families in Hebei."

At this point, he carefully looked at my face before he said.

"Since then, there has been no adult Ding Zhuang, who can be a trouble for the place"

"There are also the remaining relatives, about 20,000 women and children. Leave it to the ghost step to dispose of.。。 ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but be a little surprised, and once again looked deeply at the former governor of Hebei; I didn't see that he still had such an interesting and caring side.

He is so knowledgeable about practice that I want to give him a medal for excellent performance and best assist; He stopped all the infamy and resentment on himself, but he was the Huai Army under my command in disguise, sweeping away the last bit of hindrance and resistance to the governance and transformation of the place, as well as the soil for potential resistance.

And they will actually know how to open the net and leave the women and children behind, instead of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots according to the tradition; In fact, women and children who have lost their economic support are undoubtedly the most easily transformed and forgetful groups under the hardships of life, and they are easily absorbed and digested by Huaizhen.

Maybe many years later, some people will vaguely remember Zhang Bangchang, who is the culprit and root cause of the tragedy of their family's destruction and death, but they will regard the foreign Huaizhen as another kind of rescuer; This kind of wrist that turns the clouds and rain on the back of the human heart without leaving any room, or the decisiveness and determination of completely cutting off one's possible retreat and dying in the afterlife, can't help but make me look at him a little higher.

Although he is not good at using soldiers and military strategies, he is good at encircling and controlling his subordinates and subordinating many local powerful factions and governing them well; It can also be regarded as the capital of one side to maintain a large army of good and bad and the balance of power of all parties outside the country by exhaustively looting places without completely collapsing the rule;

If it weren't for the untimely encounter, Huaizhen, who could be fully crushed just by relying on accumulation to become an upright and upright trend, I am afraid that it would also be one of the people who left many deeds and achievements in this era.

Under all these considerations, my next disposition plan has become a little inappropriate and needs to be adjusted; Killing must not be killed, otherwise no one will be willing to surrender in the future, but it cannot be used lightly, at least it must not give him the opportunity and room to play on the topic, otherwise this kind of traditional figure who is old in political struggle and power and scheming methods will inevitably bring out some unhealthy tendencies.

And in other parts of the city, when standing between some old people from different camps, it is inevitably a little embarrassing and helpless.

For example, Hu Yanzhuo, a native of Taiyuan, Hedong, who was once a Hebei military general, did not expect that he would have the opportunity to stand here in this life, and reunite with his old world friend and friend Guan Sheng, but the identities and circumstances of the two sides have been reversed.

One is a high-spirited victorious general, and the other is a subordinate of a subordinate general who is like a prisoner and waiting for the next step.

And at the south entrance of Jingcheng, on the earthen wall on the bank of Hengshui.

The straggler Chen Baoshan vigorously held the gun in his hand that had been empty of ammunition, and was ready to attack the enemy who was slowly advancing in the distance.

It seems that the last moment has come, but it is a pity that he has only tasted the beauty of his new life, and he is about to say goodbye to it; But Chen Baoshan doesn't seem to feel much unwilling and regretful, at least he has tasted many beautiful things in this world, and has also left hope and hope for countless fellow villagers.

However, the first to find them was neither the arrows rushing in the sky nor the surging crowds, but a general on horseback and holding a white flag, and just walked straight in front of them with a kick and a tap.

These Hebei soldiers who have made a comeback are actually going to surrender to their weak stragglers, what is going on?
