The Han Emperor is virtuous, surrenders the army and does not kill, mourns and returns, and lets you soar. Why don't you miss your hometown, go to your hometown, reunite at home, and be healthy forever.

Not only the Han army on the hill shouted in unison, but a few people who had long been half-hearted or didn't want to rebel at all, just wanted to return to their hometown to reunite with their relatives and live in peace, and would rather be exploited by the government than suffer from the soldiers who might face death every day.

A strange atmosphere quietly drifted in the camp, and everyone's faces seemed to hide a little strangeness, not to mention others, at this moment, the leader of the rebel army, Huang Sui, saw that everyone around him had a suspicious gaze, and he looked nervous.

There is no way, the Han army's move is "embattled", not only makes some rebels want to escape and surrender to Cheng, but also makes everyone in the camp full of suspicion, it is really a clear plan to attack the heart, even if Huang Sui knows the strategy of the Han army, but there is no way at all.

In a camp tent of the rebels, Hong Qi, a Han soldier who had just been under the order of his commander, was cautiously looking around, whispering to a fellow villager in his team.

"Dashi, Han Jun said that Toucheng doesn't care about the past, so it's better for the two of us to bring our families to surrender, how about it?" Hong Qi said nervously, although the person in front of him and him are fellow villagers and know the roots, but who can know what this fellow countryman is thinking, if this fellow villager still wants to die as a traitor, then for Hong Qi, directly talking to this fellow villager to join the Cheng Han Army, isn't it similar to throwing himself into the net?

"Seventh brother, this is exactly what I mean, but the sand barbarian is watching very closely, if we make any changes, he will find out, and then not only will our lives be in danger, but also our families will be affected, so we need to act cautiously."

"Exactly, when the time comes, we will flee at the right time, and if we don't withdraw our lives, we will take our lives."

"Good!"

The brief conversation immediately confirmed that the two were ready to flee together, and the sand barbarian they were talking about was the commander of their department. That Qu Shuai's surname is Sha, just look at the nickname given to him by outsiders, this Sha Barbarian is naturally a rebellious Jiangxia barbarian, and because of his good military force, he was selected as the Qu Shuai of hundreds of people in their department.

Both of them knew that this sand barbarian would never surrender to the Han Dynasty because he was not a Han man, after all, the rebels rebels rebelled against the Han Dynasty this time, and they were able to make such a big noise, which was related to the fact that his Jiangxia barbarian tribe contributed a lot. And they Jiangxia barbarians themselves have a history of rebellion against the Han Dynasty, plus they don't want to continue to be exploited by the Han dog officials, so they are unwavering and will not surrender, after all, they have a precedent first, if they surrender, most of them will not escape death, and the Han Dynasty will never tolerate the rebellion of these aliens again and again.

Therefore, for the sake of the safety of the operation, these two people chose to hide the matter, only to wait until the time came, they each fled here with their relatives, and went their separate ways, the two of them no longer wanted to fight, they just wanted to return to their hometown, and after accepting the pardon of the Han Dynasty, they enjoyed the joy of family life with their families.

In fact, this scene not only happened around Hong Qi and the others, but at this moment, there were countless whispers everywhere in the Han army camp. Most of these voices were the same as those discussed by Hong Qi and the others, and many of the rebel soldiers no longer wanted to fight, but wanted to go home after listening to the Chu songs sung by the Han army. After all, this time is different from the past, and now no one wants to have too much contact with Huang Sui, who has been defeated many times recently, because everyone knows that if they continue to move forward with Huang Sui, who has no food, the final result will be a dead end, and they may either die in battle or starve to death.

The eastern sky was already white at this moment, and the soldiers of the rebel army ran out of their rice soup, and then under the command of the commanders of the various departments, they took their families to hurry, nominally Huang Sui said to everyone that he was going to other counties to grab grain, but they knew very well in their hearts that Huang Sui was just no food in the camp and could not be consumed anymore.

The long line came out of the rebel camp that had been burned a lot in an orderly manner, and the soldiers were fine, they had just drunk rice soup, because there was more rice millet in it to ensure that they were barely hungry, so the march was normal. However, the family members of the various departments who followed behind the rebel brigade were hungry and panicked because there was only soup in the rice soup, and there were no grains of rice millet in sight, and it was extremely difficult to walk, and the stomach was empty, which caused the march to be very slow.

They dragged the rebel commander Huang Sui anxiously, because at their speed, I am afraid that when the army goes south, when Huang Sui has not chosen to plunder there, there will be almost no food in the army. However, Huang Sui has no way to do this, after all, does he want to give up these old and weak women and children?

Think about it, these old and weak women and children are the families of most of the rebel soldiers under Huang Sui, Huang Sui believes that if he gets rid of these old and weak women and children now, I am afraid that under the influence of those attacking Chu Ge, the rebel camp will directly riot and completely break with Huang Sui, which is something that cannot happen to Huang Sui at all, so even if those old and weak women and children are slow, Huang Sui still has to endure it.

As for giving those women, children and soldiers the same food, Huang Sui would never give it, because if this is the case, I am afraid that in a day or two the rebels will run out of food. Even the rice soup he asked his soldiers to eat just now was strictly calculated to ensure that his soldiers could have the physical strength to march, and the rest was forgotten, so could you think of anything else if there was not much food?

It's just that if it were a simple march and a strict calculation of food, the rebels should be able to leave all the way unhindered. However, this time, the army was already uneasy, and after only walking dozens of miles, Huang Sui received reports from various ministries that some soldiers left with their families one after another, and a few people successfully escaped, and most of them were caught, and they all came to ask Huang Sui how to deal with it.

In this regard, Huang Sui weighed it, he wanted to choose to temporarily detain the families of those soldiers, but now the situation is not in his favor, if he blindly suppresses it, the final situation will inevitably accelerate the pace of the collapse of his army, but it is completely dispelled because of the admonition of his henchmen.

"Qu Shuai, no, military law is not clear, and you must not act mercifully."

"But there is no food in the army, and if you use heavy codes, the whole army will be chaotic."

"Ci is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not in charge of wealth, there is no need to re-enact, there will be endless troubles in the future, kill it today, if it is the opposite, you can get rid of it, just to save the trouble in the general's heart."

When Huang Sui was still hesitating about how to choose, the words of his confidant completely strengthened his confidence. Indeed, if the grain and grass in Huang Sui's hands were not sufficient, he would not hesitate to cut down the fleeing soldiers directly, because it was already an open secret of the whole army that he had no food in his hands, and this did not need to be verified at all, as can be seen from the rice soup that Huang Sui gave to his soldiers.

Now, if Huang Sui kills those deserters, it may backfire and force other rebels with two hearts to resist directly, after all, for other rebel soldiers, staying in the rebel ranks, sooner or later they may starve to death because they can't grab food, and if they choose to escape, they will also have the opportunity to escape with their families. Anyway, whether to stay or not, to escape or not to escape, there is a possibility of death, rather than endure starvation and die all the time, then it is better to do the opposite now, it is their luck to be alive, and if they can't live, they can only admit it, after all, they don't want to be a starving ghost.

However, the henchman said another point, which is also in the heart of Huang Sui, instead of worrying about killing the deserters and forcing the soldiers under his command to rebel with two hearts, it is better to directly wipe out those soldiers with two hearts now, so as to prevent future troubles. After all, after all, for Huang Sui now, the most important thing at present is the food problem, and the second is the problem of the soldiers escaping.

In the final analysis, Huang Sui's current method of increasing grain and delaying the army's food supply is to open up sources and reduce expenditure, and the so-called open source is naturally to add more water to the rice millet and cook it into rice soup so that people will not starve to death, and if the expenditure is reduced, it is just to reduce the mouth for eating, how to reduce it? Of course, let some people, without disturbing the fundamentals of the army, completely disappear.

As for how not to disturb the army, it is naturally not to let those deserters go and allow them to leave, after all, in this case, he is very willing to let other soldiers flee with him, completely breaking the morale of the army, so he can only choose to remove some soldiers reasonably under the right reason, even if it will cost him.

After all, instead of worrying about the lack of food and causing the soldiers to be separated, it is better to kill those deserters now, and then observe the other soldiers who have two hearts, and once they are captured, they will be executed on the spot, even if there is a large-scale rebellion? Anyway, Huang Sui can guarantee that his henchmen and soldiers will act according to orders, so that there is no need to worry about anything else, although this will make the soldiers under his command drastically reduced, but as long as the food is enough to maintain in his own hands, and the loyalty of the army remains unchanged, those miscellaneous cards, let them go.

The sun shone lightly on the plain, and the rebel ranks lined up like long dragons, all looking at the heads held by the dozens of riders on the left and right sides of their ranks. The heads of the escaped soldiers and their families, after being hunted down by the rebel scouts, were beheaded and presented to the whole army.

Most of the soldiers in the rebels knew that Huang Sui was intimidating them, and warned them not to have other ideas, otherwise they would end up like these fleeing soldiers. However, it stands to reason that strict military discipline is a very important thing for an army, but at this moment, it is very unfavorable in Huang Sui's army.

Things are just as Huang Sui originally thought, when he understood that running away is death, and staying in the army to eat rice soup every day will starve to death, most of the rebel soldiers who rebelled because they couldn't stand the oppression of corrupt officials and corrupt officials finally chose to rebel against Huang Sui just as they chose to rebel against the Han Dynasty in the first place.

Anyway, now the Han army has told them through the song that everything is not to blame in the past, even if they have not verified this matter, but there are many people who are like this, after having hope, they will not consider the truth of the matter at all, and will choose a way out that may not have a future at all for the sake of a future that may not exist at all.

Under many difficult factors such as lack of food, defeat, and no hope for the future, many rebels finally broke out in civil strife under the chanting of some Han people who had long been double-minded, "It is better to die together, it is better to do the opposite". And this scene is also the scene that Huang Sui is willing to see after weighing, he now urgently needs to eliminate some half-hearted people, so as to reduce the expenditure of rations in the army.

On the empty field, I saw a surprising scene happening, the Huang Sui rebels, who had once crisscrossed Jiangxia and Lujiang counties, and the officials and soldiers who could not raise their heads at all, fought each other on this field.

The two sides of the battle in the rebel army are very obvious, one side is the elite troops dominated by Huang Sui's henchmen, and the other side is the rebel miscellaneous troops that are inferior to the former in terms of equipment, and the outcome of the matter does not need to be thought about. Huang Sui had already thought of the scene of civil strife, so he naturally ordered the soldiers of the army to prepare in advance, plus the food, armor and equipment of the army were much better than those of the miscellaneous troops, what could happen to the miscellaneous troops of the rebels?

After a period of stalemate between the two sides of the battlefield, a one-sided situation emerged, and the well-prepared army quickly repelled the rebels' motley offensive, and then divided the hastily rebellious motley troops on the spot, taking advantage of their original disagreement in the army, to attack in separate ways.

In just a few moments, there were several miscellaneous troops of several hundred people, from Qu Shuai to the soldiers under his command, all those who rebelled were completely killed by the army, and this killing has not stopped...... Huang Sui, who was protected by people in the distance, quietly watched the farce of cannibalism under his command, although he was reluctant to reduce his troops, but after all, this is a war, and now for him, it is right to retreat safely, and if he wants to retreat safely, there must be food, and the troops will not be disturbed, so the death of these miscellaneous troops is inevitable.

As for the troops, in Huang Sui's opinion, it is just distressed for a while, when they find a suitable place and have food, they can then pull Zhuang Ding everywhere, anyway, since he has no hope of capturing Shu County this time, he can only be a wandering army. And since it is a wandering army, it is naturally to rob all kinds of available things and force those low-level people into the army, and when the time comes, when they have food in their hands, they can naturally gather a considerable number of troops. Anyway, for the wandering army of wandering people, people are the most indispensable thing.

Just when Huang Sui was constantly rejoicing in his heart, a burst of "woo, woo" horn sound came from afar, which made him startled on the spot, like being struck by lightning, following the prestige, only to see hundreds of Han knights riding horses surging forward, and behind them, there was a group of thousands of Han soldiers to kill together.

The Han army actually killed again, they didn't rob the camp to disturb the enemy, how could they come again? Of course, now is not the time for Huang Sui to think about this, what surprised him was that it was not the right time for the Han army to come, because at this moment his army was still fighting each other, and if the Han army attacked, they would have no good way to defend it......
