Accompanied by Li Wu's shouting, the more than 4,000 red turban soldiers under Zhang Shihua's command also shouted in unison. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The earth-shattering shouts of killing made the more than 1,000 people under Li Xixi's command, who were surrounded by him, more and more panicked, but no matter how unruly Li Xixi was, how could his men and horses not have generals who were loyal to him.

Just like this deputy Qianhu, several generals with more than 100 households, when they heard that Zhang Shihua had killed Li Xixi, they couldn't help but raise their swords with red eyes and shouted: "General Li is loyal to the Holy Sect and everyone knows that Zhang Shihua, a thief, must want to apostatize and seek wealth and wealth." ”

"Since Zhang Shihua, the dog thief, has already killed General Li, the soldiers, and follow me to kill the dog thief and avenge the general's spirit in the sky!"

I have to say that these words do have a certain appeal at this time, and some soldiers who are more loyal to Li Xixi can't help but clench the weapons in their hands after hearing the words of the Qianhu, and want to kill Zhang Shihua with the Qianhu to avenge Li Xixi.

However, since Zhang Shihua did it, how could he not have expected this. As soon as the deputy Qianhu shouted these words, Zhang Shihua had more than hundreds of skilled archery crossbowmen on his side, and shot out the arrows in his hands aimed at the Qianhu.

In an instant, the Qianhu and the surrounding generals and soldiers were shot into a sieve by a burst of arrows from Zhang Shihua's side. The unstoppable arrows and splattered blood erupted in an instant, completely dissipating the last courage in the hearts of these besieged guys.

Looking at the corpses that were shot by Zhang Shihua fiercely, this group of soldiers was completely frightened. After all, among the 1,000 people under Li Xixi's command, there are at most two or three hundred people who can be called pawns, and the rest of them are none other than farmers and soldiers who have not long put down their hoes.

Most of these people are newly recruited recruits, and they have not participated in the battle of Ruyang City, so they are not a soldier who has seen blood at all. Under the siege of Zhang Shihua like this, how could he not panic.

Besides, those generals under Li Xixi are loyal, and naturally there are those who are afraid of death, and now that the loyal are dead, the fear of death is naturally shown. Therefore, after Zhang Shihua shot the Qianhu and those loyal Baihu generals with a divine arm crossbow, the remaining Baihu officials were naturally forced by Zhang Shihua's prestige, and they put down their blades one after another and chose to surrender and live.

And driven by these people, the rest naturally put down the blades in their hands one after another.

In this way, that is, in a moment's effort, these more than 1,000 soldiers were captured by Zhang Shihua in the sound of crackling weapons on the ground.

……

Near evening, that is, three hours after Zhang Shihua led his troops to take down the generals under Li Xixi, Li Chongsan took the initiative to go to the county government and found Zhang Shihua.

"General Qiyu, the rebel general Li Xixi's three hundred household officials and 37 chiefs including Hu Laosan and the rebel general Li Xixi voluntarily testified that the rebel general Li Xixi robbed the people's property, killed innocents indiscriminately, caused trouble in arson, and attacked and killed Shangguan, and the local people in Wuyang City totaled more than 500 people, and they were also willing to stand up and testify for you, the general, and now these people are all signed and detained."

"And our army also found out that Li Xixi's deputy Qianhu Li Ba and other 96 generals and other 96 people robbed people's daughters and killed innocent people indiscriminately. After speaking, Li Chongsan handed the thick booklet in his hand to Zhang Shihua with both hands.

Zhang Shihua took the booklet, and after reading it a few times, he couldn't help but nod and said: "Tomorrow, it will be convenient for the vegetable market, and those traitors who should be executed will be punished in the Ming Dynasty." After that, you took out 10,000 taels of this booklet, together with the 30,000 taels of silver that Li Xixi forcibly robbed the people, and sent it to Marshal Liu in Ruyang along with this booklet, understand? ”

"The subordinate obeys!" Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Li Chongsan immediately lowered his head and said.

Seeing this, Zhang Shihua nodded, and then waved his hand to let Li Chongsan retreat. And after Li Chongsan stepped back, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but smile on his face, 20,000 taels of silver fell into Zhang Shihua's pocket, and Zhang Shihua was naturally very happy.

……

At noon on the second day, at the entrance of the vegetable market in Wuyang City, hundreds of people in Wuyang City gathered here. At this time, in an open space surrounded by the people, there were more than 100 red turban soldiers who maintained order, not to mention, and a middle-aged general dressed as a thousand households of the red turban army, who read aloud to the people:

"The rebel general Li Xixi, who did not abide by military law, set up arson in Wuyang and Ye Xian, killed innocents indiscriminately, and wanted to rebel yesterday, and was already punished by the adults of my family, and was executed on the spot. Later, the general of our family found out that 96 corporal soldiers under Li Xixi forcibly robbed the people's daughters and killed innocent people indiscriminately. ”

"Now that there are all the human and material evidence, the adults of my family will execute these traitors and rebels in front of the county's fathers and villagers, so as to give the county's fathers and villagers an explanation." After saying this, Xu Ming waved his hand and brought up batches of traitors and rebels who were about to be executed.

And the people of Wuyang City who were watching around looked at these people, and they couldn't help but scold. Obviously, this group of guys did do things that were just evil and hurtful to Wuyang and Ye Xian, and Zhang Shihua did not wronged them at this point.

Seeing this scene, Xu Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the power of Zhang Shihua's methods. This time, Li Xixi's crime was completely confirmed, so Zhang Shihua killed him, not only was there no mistake, but he was meritorious. Moreover, Zhang Shihua also used this method to establish prestige and gain the hearts of the people in Wuyang and Ye Xian all of a sudden, which is really a good means.

But although he thought so in his heart, Xu Ming didn't delay in his mouth, after those traitors who were tied up with all kinds of flowers were brought in, Xu Ming waved his hand and said: "The time has come, execution!" ”

When the soldiers of the Red Turban Army who were armed with steel knives as executioners heard Xu Ming's words, they immediately cut off the heads of traitors and generals one by one. In the blood sprayed everywhere, watching the heads fall to the ground, even those people who have a deep hatred for these traitors can't help but feel a little chill down their spines.

After all, this scene is too terrible for them. When Xu Ming saw this, he couldn't help but admire Zhang Shihua more and more in his heart. Looking at the group of people around him, he knew that obviously after experiencing this time, Zhang Shihua's prestige and prestige were completely deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

……

Half an hour later, the beheading at Caishikou had already ended, but in Wuyang County, Zhang Shihua was gathering the generals under his command to discuss other affairs.

In addition to Zhang Mingtong, who was sent to Taihe by Zhang Shihua to pick up Zhang Shihua and the family members of some generals who were born in Taihe, the rest of the generals, such as Zhao Jiu, Zhang Shihui, Guo Yu, Shi Shisan, Zhao Er, Bai Xi, Xu Ming, Li Chongsan, Zhou Sijiu and others were all present.

At this time, Zhang Shihua was sitting on the main seat of the main hall of the county government with a golden sword, looked at the first lieutenant generals under the hall, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Brothers also know that I was ordered by Marshal Liu to take you to Nanyang to deal with the affairs of my military and political teaching. Therefore, the purpose of gathering all the brothers today is to ask each other about countermeasures and see what our army should do next and how to do it. ”

"One person is short, and two people are long. You brothers can speak freely, without restraint. ”

When the generals and officials in the hall heard Zhang Shihua's words, after looking at each other, Zhao Jiu, who was Zhang Shihua's deputy, couldn't help but be the first to clasp his fists at Zhang Shihua and said: "General Qiyu, now our department has already owned the two cities of the three cities of Yuzhou in Nanyang Prefecture, and Yuzhou is only in the south of Fangcheng, which is not in the hands of our army. Therefore, the last general thought that it was better for our army to stabilize the situation in the two cities of Wuyang and Yexian, and after absorbing the troops under the command of the rebel general Li Xixi, he raised his troops to the south and took Fangcheng in one fell swoop, so that our army completely occupied the land of this state. ”

Hearing Zhao Jiu's words, all the generals in the hall couldn't help but nodded, and when Zhang Shihua saw this scene, he couldn't help but nod and said: "Ah Jiu, what you say is all reasonable, and it can be used as a strategy for our army in the future." However, as a general of tens of thousands of households in Nanyang Mansion, he still has the responsibility of leading the government affairs of my sect in Nanyang Mansion. ”

Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, the generals in the hall couldn't help but be quiet for a while. Zhao Jiu, Guo Yu and Zhang Shihua's cousin Zhang Shihui are really not said to fight and kill. But when it comes to government, these guys are complete laymen.

However, fortunately, Zhang Shihua is not a person who can handle government affairs. At least after a moment of silence in the lobby, Li Chongsan, who was born as a subordinate under Zhang Shihua, still took the initiative to stand up and clasp his fist at Zhang Shihua and said: "General Qiyu, the lower officials believe that the most important thing for our department now is as General Zhao said, 'Stabilize the situation of our department in Wuyang and Ye Xian.'" ’”

"Now, it is August, and it can be said that it is close to the autumn harvest season of the people in Wuyang and Yexian. After months of fighting, this autumn harvest can be said to be extremely important, and our army must certainly attach importance to it. Although Marshal Liu took the Zhu Gao granary, just with the grain in the Zhu Gao granary, it is only possible to support our army for this year. Therefore, our army has to pay attention to the agricultural affairs under its rule, after all, everything is based on agriculture! ”

Zhang Shihua, who was sitting in the main seat, couldn't help but nod when he heard Li Chongsan's words, and Zhou Jiu in the hall saw Zhang Shihua nodding secretly, thinking that he knew how to observe words and feelings, he couldn't help but immediately get up and say to Zhang Shihua: "The lower officials also agree with Lord Li's opinion, our army should stabilize the situation in the two counties and attach importance to this autumn harvest." ”

Seeing that Thursday and Jiu all said this, the other people in the hall were naturally not stupid, so they also agreed one after another.

And when Zhang Shihua saw this, he naturally said with a smile: "Okay, that's the case, just like Ah Jiu and Chongsan said." In terms of military affairs of our army, Ah Jiu you is responsible for dealing with the disruption and incorporation of the corporal under the rebel general Li Xixi; In terms of government affairs, General Ben appointed Chongsan as Ye Xian Zhixian and Sijiu as Wuyang Zhixian, responsible for selecting officials and officials for me, stabilizing the situation in the two counties, and dealing with the autumn harvest in the two counties in the near future. ”

Seeing Zhang Shihua say this, Zhao Jiu and the others in the hall couldn't help but get up and bowed: "The last general (lower official) obeys the order." ”

……

In the evening, Zhang Shihua took a group of guards and Yang Meier's daughter, and officially entered the mansion in Wuyang City that Li Xixi occupied before. After all, Zhang Shihua had already appointed Thursday Jiu as the magistrate of Wuyang City at this time, and asked him to recruit the third class of officials and the sixth room officials, so it was naturally not good to continue to occupy the county government of Wuyang City.

Therefore, Zhang Shihua simply found a mansion to settle in, which can be regarded as Zhang Shihua's general's mansion in Wuyang City.

After having dinner with his guards, Zhang Shihua also came to the study as usual, not that he had anything important to deal with at this time, but that he was alone without his family, which had become his habit.

In the quiet study, Zhang Shihua was still reading the military books he had collected. The book of war and the art of war are considered to be big road goods in later generations, but they are very rare now, and some of these military books are specially dedicated to him by Bai Xi, a disciple of the general.

At this time, Zhang Shihua read the "Tiger Sutra" dedicated to him by Bai Xi, a famous military book in the Song Dynasty, which was written by Xu Dong, a native of the Northern Song Dynasty. In the book, the above words are planned, the middle words are geographical, and the next words are not said, but also include the content of wind and horn occupation, human and horse medical care, etc., and even brings together a lot of formations, which is indeed a great inspiration for Zhang Shihua to lead the troops.

After all, ancient warfare is not the same as modern warfare, and the gap between the two is completely one heaven and one place, and the modern military knowledge in Zhang Shihua's mind is really too advanced for now, and it is not practical at all.

On the contrary, the tactics that some later generations look down on now often play an unexpectedly huge role in the current cold weapon war. For example, the battle formations recorded in the "Tiger Sutra", such as the Flying Eagle Array, the Long Snake Array, the Repeating Array, the Eight Seals Array, the Flying Yuan Array, etc., Zhang Shihua found after careful consideration.

In some specific circumstances, if these battle formations are used well, they can indeed exert greater power than a single phalanx. However, the only drawback of these battle formations is that they are too complicated to operate as easily as the phalanx. Zhang Shihua even felt that even the backbone soldiers under his command had to practice for a month or two if they wanted to perfectly display these formations.

However, the more this is the case, the more Zhang Shihua feels that it is necessary to let his soldiers learn these battle formations, after all, the enemies they encounter in the future will definitely become stronger and stronger, and it is impossible to eat all over the world with one move.

After all, on the battlefield, a gust of wind can decide the outcome of a battlefield. From ancient times to the present, the famous general who has never heard of dares to say that he has a 100% chance of winning on the battlefield. Therefore, letting his soldiers have more battlefield contingency methods will definitely not be a bad thing for Zhang Shihua and them.
