The light of the fire shone on the large tree, and the bark on it could be seen peeled off, and a row of seal characters was written in sticky blood.

"Handan is the head, Fan He is dead, Erqing has buried the lives of 10,000 people, and the same is true for those who are enemies of the Zhao family!"

The firelight also reflected the uncertain faces of the two division commanders, and then they were asked to erase all these words, but after they returned in vain, this ambush of the whole army, as well as these shocking blood words, quickly spread in the military camps of Fan and Zhongxing.

For this matter, Fan Jishu was naturally angry, and Zhong Xingyin heard that Zhai Fengdi and Di Ren cavalry had been lost, and he also scolded him.

The ordinary soldiers in the camp had a similar attitude towards this matter, and the Fan family had already become a frightened bird because of the defeat in the battle of Qinshui, and they had already become frightened all the way, and now they were even more frightened, and they only felt that it was not safe anywhere except for the city and the barracks.

If it is said that during the fierce battle yesterday afternoon, the Zhongxing clan was in full swing and could fight with Zhao Bing, after tonight, not only did they lose their troops, but they also did not even recapture Fan He's head, and their sharpness had been lost, and they were a little discouraged.

Zhao Wuxian's tactical goal of demoralizing them had been achieved.

Gao Qiang heard that Gongsun Yan's body was not found, and perhaps he was captured, he couldn't help but feel sorry, and with a pair of discerning eyes, he looked at the various situations in the camp one by one.

"It can't go on like this."

So Gao Qiang immediately entered the second secretary's big tent and offered advice: "The army is impermanent, and you are angry, it is better to publicize the righteousness of the king humiliating the death of the ministers, and the king humiliating the ministers, and mobilize the feelings of the soldiers to hate the enemy, so that the morale can be restored, so as to fight with the Zhao family!" ”

……

The night faded. The sun rises as usual, on the distant horizon. The first red sun shone brightly, and Zhao Wuxian and his men also escorted the captives on their way home.

Along. Wuxian observed the appearance of the Di people with great interest, the Di people who took the lead in surrendering had a big waist and a round body, a beard, two eyes were also quite large, thick eyebrows, and a dignified man.

What's more, in terms of appearance, there is actually not much difference between the Di people and the Jin people, but there are more round faces.

He thought to himself: "Bai Di is really his banner, and his clothes are still white." And the customs are quite influenced by China, and they are more civilized than other Rong Di, so they are called Bai Di, not the so-called Caucasian ......"

After returning to the camp, Zhao Wuxian carried out a ceremony to escort the prisoners at the gate of the camp, and watched Fan Bing and Bai Di soldiers pass by outside the camp in a dejected procession, and the morale of the soldiers of the Zhao and Han coalition forces was greatly boosted.

After Zhao Wuxian reported his merits to Zhao Ying, he directly brought the captured Di cavalry to the tent, and he served as a "brigade commander" for this one. The guys, who are considered mid-level officers, are interested in what they know.

The victor sat on the seat covered with tiger skins, and the loser was tied up with five flowers, and Zhai Fengdi lowered his eyes and made a submissive appearance.

In last night's fierce battle. After Zhai Fengdi abandoned his weapons and surrendered, his clansmen followed suit, and only a few groups of Di people who did not belong to his clan were still resisting. Naturally, they were surrounded by light horsemen and dismembered corpses.

Zhai Fengdi is no stranger to failure, he is also thirty years old this year. Thirty years ago, the Bank of China wiped out the fat country. Twenty years ago, the Zhongxing clan destroyed the drum country again, and he was the first generation of Baidi people who grew up under the rule of the Zhongxing clan.

He knew the temperament and preferences of these Jin people, and their conquest of Rongdi was interested in land, population, soldiers, wealth, and the honor of the victors, rather than to exterminate them all, which was much milder than the vendetta between the Rongdi tribes.

So Zhai Fengdi was desperately using his brain at the moment, secretly thinking about what he had to do to avoid death.

But I heard Zhao Wuxian ask, "What's your name?" ”

Zhai Fengtu is a spirit: "The villain is Bai Di of Gucheng, so he takes Zhai as his clan and his name is Fengdi." ”

"I always asked Di people to die lightly, why did you surrender?"

"The cavalry of the kingdom is far superior to us, and they know that they will be defeated, so they can only surrender."

Zhao Wuxian said: "Speaking of surrender, I remembered one thing. ”

"Thirty years ago, Bank of China Muzi sent troops to attack Baidi and besieged the capital of the Drum Kingdom. The situation in the country of Guguo was severe, and someone in the city secretly told Bank of China Wu that he was willing to surrender, but was rejected by Bank of China Wu. His son, Zhong Xingyin, was puzzled and asked, 'Why didn't my father do this kind of beautiful thing that could be achieved without the labor of the soldiers to attack the city?' Wu, who was not good at words, said some beautiful things that his uncle had taught him, and then he betrayed the traitors of the Drum Kingdom to the people of the Drum Kingdom, and asked them to kill the traitors and repair the fortifications...... I didn't believe it when I first heard it, so I wanted to ask you, but is there such a thing? ”

Zhai Fengdi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Yes, at that time, the villain's father and uncle happened to be in the drum city and witnessed this incident. At that time, the army of the Bank of China surrounded the drum for three months, and someone from the Drum Country came out to surrender with his subordinates, and Mu Ziwu of the Bank of China looked at the subordinates of the surrenderer, and said: "You still have no hunger on your face, so you should go back and defend the city well", and refused to ......surrender again."

Zhao Wuxian shook his head, the expressions of those Bai Di people at that time must have been frustrated and helpless, and after a while, the people of the Drum Country came to tell again: The food is exhausted, and the strength is also exhausted. Bank of China Wu drove into the city openly, during which he did not kill a single drum countryman, but only returned home with a drum triumphant. After the prisoner dedication ceremony was held in Jiangdu, he put the drum back and continued to be the king of his drum country......

In Zhao Wuxian's mind, Bank of China Wu was currying favor with the Di people of the Drum Kingdom and preparing for his family's long-term rule in the Dongyang region. At that time, the six secretaries of the Jin State each had their own sphere of influence, ruled for generations, and were deeply rooted, such as the Zhao family's painstaking management of Jinyang. Because the six Qings all know that if this continues, the six clans will inevitably fight.

Sure enough, later the drum king did not appreciate the affection and rebelled, but the Bai Di people of the drum country thought of the good of the Zhongxing Muzi and were willing to take refuge in him, and the drum land has since become the territory of the Zhongxing clan.

"Then the question is, I heard that because of the kindness of the Bank of China Muzi, the Drumming and Fat Di people are convinced of him, and regard themselves as the leaders and retainers of the Bank of China clan, and are willing to serve it, but why do you say that you will surrender?"

Seeing Zhai Fengdi's nervous face, Zhao Wuxian said: "Don't worry, I am already an enemy of life and death with the Zhongxing clan, and I will never follow the example of Zhongxing Wu and do something to betray the surrenderer, I just want to know how you and other Bai Di people view the Zhongxing clan and this kind of relationship between monarchs and ministers." ”

Zhai Fengtu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Yes, because of the residual power of the Bank of China Muzi, many Bai Di clans are working for the Zhongxing clan, but this is more forced, and it is not as willing as outsiders seem, if it weren't for the strength of the Zhongxing clan, we might have defected to Xianyu!" What's more, Bai Di's customs, as long as it is profitable, regardless of whether etiquette and righteousness allow it, betraying the head of the family is intolerable in the eyes of the Jin people, but for us Di people, it is nothing. ”

He said sincerely: "Not only will I abandon the Zhongxing clan, but I am also willing to serve the general, and I hope that the general will let my people go." ”

Zhao Wuxian said secretly: "No wonder as the saying goes, Rong Di jackals are not tired; Zhuxia is intimate and cannot be abandoned. Yi Di has no faith, easy to move and difficult to settle, and it is true that it cannot be understood by the concept of the Central Plains. ”

However, he wished that there were more such people within the Zhongxing clan, even if there were none, he could be forced out by means. Like the Zhao clan, the army of the Bank of China is also mixed, and it only takes a little suspicion to disintegrate an army and a state.

But Zhao Wuxian said, "Oh? When Wu refused to surrender, he once said his reasons, encouraging loyal ministers and punishing betrayal, which is the great law of the country. If you don't reward those who surrender, you are dishonest; If a reward is given, it is a reward for wickedness. There are disgruntled people among the Di people, and there are also people in the Jin Kingdom. If you recruit traitors, you will use the example of the drum country to encourage your retainers to have two hearts. If you are intimate with a traitor because you want to take down a city, then the loss of the Zhongxing clan will be too great...... From this point of view, if I accept the surrender, I will also have to take a lot of risks, and you can tell me, apart from the nearly half of the people who have been damaged, what else can you bring to me? ”

"I look at the ambition of the Zhao family, not only to defeat Erqing, but also to sweep Hanoi and Dongyang, the villain is willing to persuade Bai Di's various departments to join the Zhao family ......"

Want the golden cicada to come out of its shell? The mountains and forests over there are dense, if Zhai Fengtu goes back, it is a bird flying deep into the forest, where will he go to find it? Zhao Wuxian laughed in his heart, shook his head and said, "This matter is too far, it's not too late to talk about it in the future, do you have something that can work for me immediately?" ”

Zhai Fengdi knew that his plan to get out was seen through by Zhao Wuxian, although the person in front of the secret path was young, he was a self-made figure who became a Zhengqing in Lu State, and he made a mistake.

He lowered his head weakly, and was stared at by Zhao Wuxian in a cold sweat. For Zhai Fengdi, compared to his own life and the lives of his clansmen, the little loyalty to the Zhongxing clan is something that can be discarded at any time.

After thinking about it, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "The villain also knows the reality of the Zhongxing clan's camp, as well as the weakness of their marching formation!" ”

……

After asking for surrender, Zhai Fengdi's treatment was improved, and Zhao Wuxian personally came to loosen his ties, and also arranged for him to sit down on the case, so that he could bring the virtual reality of the Zhongxing clan together. Although there were still guards staring at him, Zhai Fengdi felt that this was a sign that the situation was improving, at least, he would not be pushed out and cut off his head because of a disagreement.

"The camp of the Bank of China is backed by the south wall of the city, and its southern part is well guarded, but there is also a section that exceeds the city wall and goes deep into the stream to the west......

"I remember that those streams flowed from the Baiquan area...... "Zhao Wuxian's gaze shifted northward, his focus was not only on the camp of the Zhongxing clan, but on the situation of the entire river.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Wuxian asked Zhai Fengdi to go down to rest, and then took him to meet Zhao Ying when it was time to eat, stating the weaknesses of the Zhongxing clan's military formation.

"The subordinates must do their best for the Zhao clan, from today on, the Zhongxing clan will no longer be my old master, but my enemy!"

Zhai Fengdi bowed down after showing his sincerity, he passed this pass, he was in a good mood, and walked out of the camp tent with his head held high under the guidance of the guards.

When he came in, he was a prisoner, and when he went out, he was a guest, and Zhai Fengdi still felt a little proud in his heart.

However, as soon as he came out of the camp, he was deliberately guided by Zhao Wuxian's guards to go around a small road, and "coincidentally" ran into a young soldier covered in bandages and wounds who was pushed and walked towards this side, it was Gongsun Yan, who was stunned by an arrow in the ambush. Gongsun Yan looked at the loosened Zhai Fengdi and Zhao's black-clothed chatter and laughter, and couldn't help but be shocked, and asked loudly from afar:

"Zhai Fengdi, are you betraying the Zhongxing clan?" (To be continued.) )
