Wang Huaqiang found that Han Baohu began to hold his chin and groan, so he continued: "There is another point, that is, our army has just crossed the river, and the people of Nanchen do not know the details of our army and the emperor's will. If we treat these people preferentially as an example, and even let the Lu brothers take the old troops to patrol the city, I am afraid that the effect will be much better than that of our own soldiers who work hard to post notices to the people. ”

Wang Hao's somewhat shrill voice sounded: "Wang Du is a good one. It's just that I want to ask Wang Dudu, since you want to grasp the hearts and minds of the people of the Southern Dynasty so much, why did you order the massacre of more than 200 Nanchen prisoners of war by the river? Don't you know that our emperor has issued an order that no one should harm the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Dynasties who laid down their arms and no longer resisted? ”

Wang Huaqiang looked at Wang Yan coldly and said, "Those people were beheaded, I don't know where the news of Wang joining the army came from?" And in this matter, Sima Dudu can testify for me. ”

Sima Dekan's face standing under the hall also changed, he didn't expect Wang Cheng to mention this matter, and before Han Baohu let him go to the hall, he hurriedly shouted: "Big handsome, the small ones didn't kill the prisoners, those are indeed the enemy soldiers who were killed in battle." ”

Wang Hao sneered, but his eyes did not leave Wang Huaqiang: "Wang Dudu, please think clearly before speaking, this is where General Han's handsome tent is, there is no joke in the army, you should know the weight of this sentence." ”

Sima Dekan was choked by this sentence and didn't dare to speak again, and turned to look at Wang Huaqiang.

Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly: "Wang joined the army and said well, there is no joke in the army, you just said that I, Wang Huaqiang, slaughtered prisoners of war, do you dare to be responsible for your words?" Why don't we write down the military order now, let Manager Han investigate this matter, and if anyone lies, we will punish whoever is guilty, how about it? ”

Wang Yan had a gloomy face and did not answer. Wang Xuan saw that the two were about to get into a fight, and hurriedly came out to play a round: "Two, now the military situation is urgent, and the overall situation is the most important, and some small things don't have to be so serious." Wang joined the army, and General Manager Han was asking Wang Dudu what to say, if you have any questions, let's communicate in private. ”

Wang Hao originally just wanted to choke Wang Huaqiang for a sentence or two, and was dissatisfied after he stole the limelight, looking at this style, Han Baohu didn't say a word just now, but kept staring at himself, obviously dissatisfied with his behavior, and it may not be beneficial for him to go down again, and his brother came out to play a round, he also found a step down, and after laughing twice, he retreated to the left ranks.

Han Baohu said in a deep voice: "This matter will be investigated thoroughly by the general manager afterwards, Wang Dudu, now please continue, if, according to what you say, the place where our army has fought hard is handed over to the Chen army that has surrendered, can you ensure that they will not rebel again?" ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly, and said loudly: "The psychological reliance of the Nanchen people is just the Yangtze River moat, in the past, the Hu people invaded the south, and they still have a sense of protecting the Han people's country, plus the monarch and the ministers are united, and the army and the people are united, so that the crisis can be resolved several times." But now that Nan Chen's traitorous ministers are in charge, the civil and military are centrifuged, and generals like Lian Renzhong have been provoked by Shi Wenqing and others to take away their subordinates, and these generals will not do their best for Chen Shubao.

General Han, please think about it carefully, my northerners are not accustomed to water warfare, if it weren't for the fact that the Lu brothers had no intention of fighting, how could they lose the quarrying so quickly and let our army succeed in smuggling? And this Gu Xiao City is the county seat of Nanyu Prefecture, if it weren't for Fan Xunxin's ape and horse, how could he not even be able to hold it for half a day? The children of a family of military generals like them are still like this, let alone ordinary Chen people. ”

Han Baohu nodded and continued to ask: "But if according to what you said, the southerners should open the door wide to welcome our army, why are they closed now, and even our army does not dare to come out when they go to post a notice to the people?" ”

Wang Huaqiang glanced at Wang Hao and replied: "According to Xiao's humble opinion, this move is counterproductive. Now although the Yangtze River has been broken through by our army, but the army has not yet crossed the river, the Nanchen people should have also discovered that the troops under the command of Han are only a few thousand, not the kind of army that has been camped for dozens of miles, maybe they also think that this is a reconnaissance operation of the vanguard team, so they dare not meet our army too early.

In addition, the government of the Southern Dynasty has always intimidated the people, saying that our Great Sui are all barbaric Hu people, not only killing people, but even eating people, and now it has only been more than 30 years since the time when the Huns waited for the scene to plague Jiangnan, and many ordinary people have a fresh memory of this, although they have long lost hope in the Nanchen court, but they are also afraid that we are really doing all the evil as the government advertises, so now they choose to wait and see.

Governor Han, according to the small humble opinion, now let the army withdraw from the city, and camp outside the city with the troops who will cross the river in the future, if the number is not enough, you can set up more camp tents, and make him a company camp for dozens of miles, and the captured city will be handed over to the surrendered Nanchen generals to temporarily maintain law and order.

For the Lu brothers, Fan Xun, the sons and nephews of high-ranking officials and generals in the Southern Dynasty, they will be kind to persuade and protect their lives and property, and will not restrict them from returning to Jiankang, so that they can stay for two pennies, so that they can get the hearts of the people. ”

Han Baohu laughed: "Wang Dudu, I didn't expect that although your official position is not high, you can actually read people's hearts so insightfully, although you have never been to Nanchen, you have a clear understanding of the thoughts of the people here." Very well, this manager will listen to you this time! Someone came, passed my general's order, all the troops crossing the river went out of the city, moved my handsome flag to the north camp of the city, and the defense of the city was handed over to the Lu brothers. ”

Wang Wei frowned slightly and said, "Chief Han, do you also have some of our own people in this city to watch?" It is completely handed over to the people of the Southern Dynasty, in case they see that the situation is not good and turn against the water again, what should they do? ”

Han Baohu hooked the corners of his mouth and said loudly: "Since they have already surrendered to us, Nan Chen can't go back." Besides, since I can capture Guyi City in half a day, if they really rebel next time, it will be easy for me to take this city again.

Now we have limited troops, and if we have to divide our troops to defend the cities we have conquered everywhere, then we will not have enough troops to fight a decisive battle with Nan Chen's main force. I have made up my mind, and there is no need for Wang to join the army. ”

Wang Hao blinked his eyes and continued: "Then please ask the chief to issue a ban in the city, and it will be set as a military administration period within ten days, and the people in the city are not allowed to go out of the city, so as not to leak the truth of our army to Chen Jun." Now that our strength is less than 5,000, if the river is blocked by the Chen Dynasty's naval army, then the follow-up troops will not be able to come, and if the Chen army concentrates all its strength against our army, our situation will become dangerous. ”

Han Baohu looked up to the sky and laughed, arrogant, and his laughter was full of confidence: "Wang joins the army, your modesty and prudence are a good thing, but now is not the time to look ahead and look backwards." Wang Shiji crossed the river, and I also crossed the river, so you said that He Ruobi can't cross the river? If my expectations are correct, He Ruobi should have been besieging Southern Xuzhou at this time, maybe he is also sitting in the Thorn Mansion in Southern Xuzhou like me at this time!

Therefore, don't worry, it is impossible for Nan Chen to draw a large army to deal with us, Wang Shiji of Xintingli can contain their army of at least thirty or forty thousand, and after General He crosses the river, the distance from Jiankang is even closer, but I am afraid that the Chen army will not only be unable to deal with us, but even the troops besieging General Wang will have to draw at least half.

What our army has to do now is to continue to accept the troops from Jiangbei here, and at the same time appease the people's hearts, as long as the people of the Southern Dynasties know that our army is not a beast of flood, more and more people will naturally take the initiative to serve us. Ben Jiang has just received the news that His Royal Highness King Jin has moved to Liuhe in Jiangbei, responsible for the dispatch of various backups, and he also wrote to me personally, saying that he must ask the emperor for credit for us. ”

When Han Baohu said this, his eyes were bright, and he picked up a piece of paper on the handsome case and showed it to everyone. Wang Huaqiang stood in the hall, far away, and couldn't see it too clearly, but he also recognized the big seal of Zhengnanxingtai covered at the end of the seal.

When the generals saw this document, they were all overjoyed, and they were all excited.

Han Baohu put down the paperwork and said in a deep voice: "The princes abandoned their wives and children, left home thousands of miles, and came to this dangerous and strange place in the south of the Yangtze River, aren't they just asking for a wife and a son, and leaving a name in history?" Now Jiankang is in front of us, as long as we work harder at the end, the victory will be ours. Everyone immediately return to their respective headquarters and set up camps outside the city, and there must be no mistake!"

All the generals saluted in unison and said, "Yes!"
