Among the Qing prisoners, all the officers from Li Rong to the captain were gathered together, their hands tied behind their backs, and then tied to their necks one by one with a rope, while their family members and relatives were also picked out and tied to several other ropes in the same way.

According to the practice in the Ming and Qing armies of this era, if Li Rong refused to surrender, his cronies, officers, soldiers, and family members would basically not surrender, so the fate of these people was only a dead end.

Chen Wen did not intend to let Li Rong go, especially from the rout of the Ming army in the Battle of Siming Mountain, knowing that Li Rong was the chief general of the Qing army in that war, even if it was not the culprit who caused the Ming army's fiasco like Wang Sheng, he also needed to use this person's head to boost the hearts of the Ming army in eastern Zhejiang who were not exterminated by the Qing army, so as to prevent them from surrendering to the Manchu Qing in fear.

The feudal society layer by layer until the emperor's chain of allegiance Chen Wen has more or less heard of it, such as his Nantang battalion, if he did not try his best to get rid of the bad habits of those feudal troops, now it should also be a situation where soldiers are loyal to the captain, captain is loyal to the captain, the captain is loyal to the commander, the whistle is loyal to the commander, and the commander is loyal to him.

Although such an army is more conducive to the growth of a military general into an independent warlord, it is incompatible with the existence of the nation-state and the modern army, which Chen Wen has always longed for and regarded as a life-saving remedy, which is exactly what he hates.

Since Li Rong was already a mortal situation, then these officers, their personal soldiers, and family members had only one way to die, so after he ordered people to search and inspect them, he dispersed them to supervise them to prevent trouble.

Among the captive auxiliaries, Chen Wen selected some of them who seemed to be very afraid of the Ming army, or felt more honest, and let them whip a Qing army officer who had just taken the lead in making trouble, and then did the work of pulling a cart under the supervision of the temporary auxiliary corps, in Chen Wen's words, if you want to live, let him see your usefulness to the Ming army.

Receiving this promise, the selected auxiliaries immediately began to show their usefulness in high spirits, even if they were arranged to pull the cart, and those who were not selected also had a glimmer of hope after receiving the information that they would be useful and would survive.

The rest of the soldiers were assigned a rope for every ten people, and many of these people had murderers who killed the Ming army and the people, but Chen Wen didn't have that time to identify it here, just like the Qing army that was just identified by Zhang Jun, he didn't choose to be executed directly. However, it does not mean that they can escape justice, because Chen Wen has already come up with a new trick.

Under the supervision of the spear white blade of the Nantang battalion, the captives of the Qing army were obediently tied up by auxiliaries and firefighters, and most of the captured booty was also loaded. Of course, the fallen soldiers of the Ming army were also temporarily wrapped in straw mats and placed on the car, and then buried after arriving in the occupied area of the Ming army, and the wounded soldiers also sat on the cart to walk.

I think I still have to thank Li Rong again, if it weren't for the fact that he brought so many empty cars with the idea of being able to get benefits from the Ming army in Dalan Mountain, how could the corpses of the fallen soldiers and wounded soldiers be all loaded.

"Li Rong gave a carriage and horses here"

So, Chen Wen, who firmly believed that if you pay, you must be rewarded, next to the sign that was still inserted on the side of the road with the words "Those who cross the line die, don't say it in advance", re-erected a wooden sign with these seven ink characters written on it for Li Rong, which can be regarded as leaving a name for his good deeds for future generations.

Just when Chen Wen was the monument to Li Rongshu, Li Ruixin also rushed back, and the strange thing is that Li Ruixin was not riding on a horse at this moment, but returned on foot with an officer of the Qing army, and even the officer was not tied up, but just followed Li Ruixin on foot.

What is this road number?

It must be known that Li Rong, the deputy general of the Raised Left Battalion, was tied up by those cavalry and handed over to Chen Wen, could it be said that this officer's status is higher than Li Rong? He can't be Tian Xiong.

"General, I beg you to take a step to speak."

Chen Wen glanced at the Qing army officer, Li Ruixin's expression was very strange, and his behavior was not like his usual style, obviously related to this Qing army officer.

Chen Wen and Li Ruixin, full of doubts, came to the stream. It's just that as soon as he walked there, Li Ruixin actually knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously.

"Brother Li, what are you doing here? Something to say. ”

For people like Li Ruixin and Wu Dengke, who knew each other when he was white, Chen Wen has always been commensurate with brothers when there are no outsiders, just like when they first met. On the one hand, this is to win people's hearts, but more often it is out of habit.

"General, humbly beg the general to spare that Qing army officer."

Chen Wen knew that Li Ruixin's experience made him hate the traitors of the Green Battalion or the Han Eight Banner Army, and during the days when he lived in the town under Dalan Mountain, he even continued to go out of the mountains to attack the lone Green Battalion soldiers, why would he intercede for the officer who didn't look like a senior general? This surprised Chen Wen.

Helping Li Ruixin up, Chen Wen immediately asked: "Brother Li, if you explain the matter clearly, this general can decide how to deal with this person." ”

Hearing Chen Wen's questioning, Li Ruixin hurriedly gave Chen Wen a brief report on what Xu Lei had said to him, but concealed that Xu Lei was inquiring about Chen Wen on the road.

After hearing this story, Chen Wen's surprise was even worse, originally after Chen Wen heard about Li Ruixin's past, he decided that his family, especially the three women, could not survive in such a chaotic situation. It's just that Li Ruixin's words here are sincere, obviously believing the words of the Qing army officer.

In Chen Wen's impression, although Li Ruixin is a little arrogant on weekdays, he is also quite assertive, otherwise he has rejected so many military generals in the past few years, and finally he is willing to become his subordinate who was only white at that time. Chen Wen believes that Li Ruixin will not lie to him, and there is no need to lie to him, otherwise he will directly let this guy go in private, and no one will know that since he still brought it back, it is obvious that he will make a choice out of loyalty.

Recalling the relationship over the past few days, especially the details of the day when Sun Yu had mentioned to Chen Wen in private a few days ago to hunt down Chu Suxian, it made it difficult for Chen Wen to say the words of refusal.

Loyalty needs to be rewarded. Chen Wenzai is very clear about this truth, even in modern society, this is very normal. However, today he can open a back door for Li Ruixin, and tomorrow there will definitely be people who rely on merit to disobey military orders, which is also bound to happen, especially after such a big victory.

Military discipline, or human affection, Chen Wen's rationality believes that he will definitely choose the former, but people are by no means cold machines, Li Ruixin's long-term loyalty and bravery have given Chen Wen too much touch, if his indifference leads to the death of the mother and daughter of the Li family, Chen Wen feels that he can no longer face Li Ruixin.

Forget it, let's figure out if what that guy said is true or not. After all, the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and it is very likely that Li Ruixin's judgment ability was affected by the surprise of his relatives escaping and the ensuing family affection. Although such a situation will make Li Ruixin even more sad, it is better than the sudden disappointment after hoping to settle down for a long time.

"Brother Li, let that guy come over, I was going to see how credible what he said."

Hearing this, Li Ruixin didn't even care about the courtesy, and hurriedly went to drag Xu Lei, who was guarded by several Ming soldiers, over.

"Ben will hear that Xu Qian is always Li Qian's brother-in-law?"

At this moment, Chen Wen was sitting on a horse that Zhang Jun didn't know where to get it, and asked Xu Lei with a smile on his face. There are many ways to identify whether a person is lying in modern times, although Chen Wen can't remember too much, but it should be enough here, after all, the concept of psychology has not been put forward at this time, and people rely more on experience to identify lies.

It's just that Xu Lei at this moment never dared to believe Chen Wen's smiling face, the scene of Chen Wen advancing against the artillery fire just now really shocked him, Xu Lei has not seen brave generals over the years, not to mention, like Huang Degong, who was famous for his bravery in the late Ming Dynasty, he also personally followed, but on such a narrow road, the monster standing in the first row facing the artillery fire is really only seen.

At this moment, Chen Wen is clearly a monster who may turn his face and deny people at any time in Xu Lei's eyes, because since ancient times, most of the brave generals have been short-tempered, and Huang Degong even dared to tear the holy decree back then, and now this one is more ruthless than Huang Degong, I am afraid that his temper will be correspondingly more moody, otherwise how can he suppress his "eldest brother" who is brave and brave?

"The villain has seen Chen Dashuai." As he spoke, Xu Lei fell to the ground and kowtowed respectfully, not much worse than when he saw Tian Xiong.

It's just that Chen Wen has always maintained a modern view of the etiquette of kowtowing, whether he kowtows to others or others kowtow to him, it will make him feel a little unpleasant. So, he didn't bother to greet again, and began to ask about the situation of the Li family's mother and daughter.

Chen Wen was quite impatient with Xu Lei's respect, but Xu Lei misunderstood it as a precursor to this outlaw who was about to turn around. Seeing this, Xu Lei immediately took out the rhetoric against Li Ruixin again, and began to tell Chen Wen about the "love story" between him and the little sister of the Li family.

Chen Wen never thought that he used a love story to fool Li Ruixin at the beginning, but today he was fooled by Li Ruixin's brother-in-law with a love story, which can be regarded as a good way to return.

After listening to it once, Chen Wen always stared at Xu Lei's eyes, if it was judged from the judgment methods of later generations, what should be said was the truth, but he didn't know whether these words were Xu Lei's recollection of the conversation between himself and Li Ruixin, or the reality of the past.

If he couldn't make a plan, Chen Wen had another plan, and only listened to him After Xu Lei finished speaking, he began to ask questions over and over again, and he didn't give Xu Lei time to think at all. After asking one question, the next question is immediately spoken, and then the previous question is asked upside down, which is clearly the case of interrogating prisoners in the TV series.

After asking enough, although Xu Lei did not behave very well in some places, he also made Chen Wen believe part of his words, but in the details, Chen Wen still expressed doubts. Next, Chen Wen asked some of the habits and characteristics of Li's mother and the little sister of the Li family, so that Li Ruixin could identify them, although most of these Xu Lei had to recall for a moment before answering, but they only missed one or two places, and they were not particularly outrageous.

It seems that Li Ruixin's wife and little sister should have survived, and while Chen Wen was happy for Li Ruixin, he found that the problem had returned to him again - is it military discipline or human favor, or rather, is this guy going or not?

Seeing that he couldn't find any questions to ask, but Chen Wen, who had brought himself into a dead end, still couldn't make a decision, he knew very well that this could not be hesitated, it was about Li Ruixin's only two living relatives, and a moment of hesitation might affect the relationship between the two in the future, so Chen Wen decided to change the topic.

"Mr. Xu Qian's answer will be quite satisfactory, but there is one more thing, can Mr. Xu Qian solve his doubts for this general?"

The previous answer really consumed a lot of Xu Lei's mental and brain power, and after getting Chen Wen's satisfactory result, Xu Lei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but seeing that victory was in sight, he would never dare to take it lightly.

"It is the honor of the villain for Chen Dashuai to ask the villain, and he really can't solve the doubt."

"Then please ask Mr. Xu Qian to tell the general the details of the battle on the shore of Siming Lake, how about it?"

The Battle of Siming Lake?

Whether it was Li Ruixin or Xu Lei, neither of them expected Chen Wen's thinking to jump to this, and even Zhang Jun, who had always been by his side, was stunned when he heard this question.

It's just that such a stunned look only appeared on Xu Lei's face for a moment and disappeared without a trace. In place of these, there was a look of horror that was especially better than before-the Simingshan coalition army was completely annihilated, according to common sense, at this moment, when this outlaw general who had just won a big victory took revenge on the Qing army, would he Xu Lei be the first victim?

Xu Lei didn't dare to beg for mercy, he knew that begging for mercy was useless, and the only way to get Chen Wen to divert his attention from him was to tell the details of the Battle of Siming Lake clearly as required, and at the same time highlight some goals that could arouse hatred, and these goals, Xu Lei had already thought about them, so he decided to hand over this difficult task of attracting hatred to Li Rong and Wang Sheng.

"Chen Dashuai has heard the news, and the villain should know everything and say everything......"

Next, Xu Lei told Chen Wen in detail about the beginning, process and results of the Battle of Siming Lake, including Wang Sheng's collaboration with the enemy, Li Rong's promotion of the main attack of the left battalion, Wang Sheng's defection and the death of the garrison of the middle camp were given a few close-ups by Xu Lei.

It's just that the death of Huang Zhongdao and that Fang garrison still made Chen Wenshen sad, he and Huang Zhongdao were only a few face-to-face friends, Huang Zhongdao not only told him a lot of combat methods and battlefield experience of the army in this era, but also had a gift of affection; And that Fang garrison, the two were opponents, Chen Wen even deliberately used inferior troops to meet the middle camp in order to fight for the right to command the troops in Jinhua in the south, and finally defeated it, but what Chen Wen didn't expect was that the garrison surnamed Fang would finally choose to attack Li Rong's general flag when the whole army collapsed, and finally refused Li Rong's solicitation and was brutally killed.

Hearing all this, Chen Wen only felt that it was difficult to breathe, as if he had fallen into a deep pool, and he could neither see the hope of surfacing the water, nor could he step on the bottom of the deep pool. But at this time, Xu Lei immediately shook out the burden, and the time was just right.

“…… Although the villain is in the camp, he does not dare to forget his Han identity for a day. In this battle, Liu Dudu, Huang Dudu and others were generously martyred, and even Wang Jingluo was captured with all his strength, and the villain was cowardly and did not dare to rescue, but he also informed Wang Jinglue that the officers who guarded his old man's house were good at serving, and it could be regarded as talking about the heart. ”

Wang Yi is not dead?

This answer really calmed Chen Wen, not only Chen Wen, but also Li Ruixin and Zhang Jun.

Chen Wen has no God's perspective, his previous understanding of the Battle of Siming Lake all comes from Wang Xiuquan's account when he reported the news and the confessions of those defeated soldiers, since these people were not caught by the Qing army, they obviously fled quickly, and how could they know Wang Yi's final whereabouts when they had already fled?

Wang Yi did not die, this news is indeed worthy of the joy of the people of Dalanshan for a while, but Chen Wen knows very well that Wang Yi died heroically in history, and Zhang Huangyan and Feng Jingdi, the same ministers of the Lu Jian State system, it is absolutely impossible for him to surrender to the Qing army, so for Wang Yi to be captured, there is actually only a dead end.

So, whether Xu Lei will let go or not, and whether to use Li Rong to exchange Wang Yi back, these two questions have become problems that Chen Wen must solve at this moment!

PS: Before the Chinese New Year, everything is complicated, coupled with the pre-job training and examination of the new unit, the author almost every day has to go out before dawn in the morning (the haze is too big, and I can't see it when it dawns), and I came back in the afternoon when it was almost dark, so I can't guarantee the update before eight o'clock in the evening, so I have to write when I finish writing what is more, and I owe two chapters and so on to write as much as possible to make up for the break.
