Immediately, Niu Gao was dragged down by the two executing soldiers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

said that they were offended, and then each picked up a water and fire stick and crackled and beat Niu Gao's ass.

At the beginning, Niu Gao was still worried and tightened the muscles in his hips. I received two sticks, but I didn't feel pain.

This time the stick came down, and the sound was loud, but as soon as it fell on the buttocks, it was obviously reinstated.

Niu Gao is a martial arts master, how can he not feel it?

After a while, twenty sticks were beaten. Except that the skin is broken and it feels hot, there is nothing wrong with it.

A guard made a tiger face: "General Niu, after you go down, you will apply some gold sore medicine by yourself, and don't stick to the water before the scab is formed." Fortunately, it's a cold day, so it's good to raise it for a few days. ”

Niu Gao was grateful in his heart, and said in a low voice: "The two brothers are good at sticking skills. ”

Yes, being able to lift weights and control the force of a stick when it falls is already remarkable. It can be known that the martial arts of these two people are good.

The man snorted: "The military envoy is deliberating, go in!" ”

Niu Gao limped into the main hall at this time.

Inside, Wang Shen was discussing with the generals of various armies about the reception of prisoners and the rest of the troops.

Seeing Niu Gao come in, he glanced at Niu Gao coldly.

Seeing that this Niu Boyuan was acting as usual, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief. As a modern successful person with a good personality, how could he not see the look that Yan Yumeng handed over to the executed soldier just now.

This Yan said that Meng is really an elite person, and he actually figured out his own thoughts, and this person is easy to use.

……

In fact, Niu Gao was able to put himself under his command, and Wang Shen was also happy in his heart. Judging from historical data, this man was an excellent cavalry general. In real history, when Yue Fei and Li Cheng fought a decisive battle, they used Niu Gao to lead the cavalry to attack the infantry formation of the Li family's army.

Probably influenced by the romance book, Wang Shen originally thought that Niu Gao was also a rude and uncivilized reckless man, a character who flew violently. But after seeing the real person, he was shocked.

That's right, this man looks very rough, a man who dares to fight. However, he was born in a local gentry, has the means and courage, has read a lot of books, speaks politely, and can even sing and drink with his Wang Shenshi, and his cultural level is not low.

This is also true, in ancient times, reading was a very expensive thing. Local tyrants, who hasn't studied the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, and learned how to govern local civil affairs? Otherwise, it would be impossible for him Niu Gao to be a local regiment training envoy, and he could easily gather tens of thousands of horses in the two counties.

This kind of all-round man of civil and military affairs is exactly what Wang Shen urgently needs, and in the future, he will go on a northern expedition to recover Henan, and Niu Gao will be the vanguard. As a person with a reputation in the local area, as long as he arrives, he ascends to the top and shouts, and the whole territory naturally responds.

The reason why he asked someone to push him out and cut him just now was just to anger his prestige. Since everyone pleaded, it was natural to go downhill and no longer pursue it.

In his heart, this Niu Boyuan dared to become a laughing stock for a woman, and this affection alone is also admirable.

It's just that Niu Gao's private release of Yang Mi made Wang Shen a little headache and a little helpless.

As far as he knew, in the real history, after Kong Yanzhou completely cut off Zhong Xiang with the same internal strategy, Yang Qi also escaped from the cottage with only a dozen followers today.

At that time, many people thought that all the leaders of Manichaeism had been wiped out, and that the chaos had been completely put down. Unexpectedly, as soon as Yang Mi escaped, he would start up again in just one year, and the scale was even greater than before.

He occupied the Dongting Lake area and confronted the official army of the Southern Song Dynasty, and repeatedly thwarted the encirclement and suppression of the Song army. He successively defeated Li Gang, Zhe Yanzhen, Wang Xie and others. In the end, the Southern Song Dynasty really had no choice, so it took a lot of effort to send Zhang Jun and Yue Fei to quell this civil strife in Shaoxing for five years.

During this period, Yang Qi seemed to be hanging, people should kill people, and Buddha should slaughter Buddha.

The reason is that Yang Mi has less of Zhong Xiang's constraints, and he can finally show his ambitions in his chest and let go of his hands and feet.

I have to say that this person is a hero. No, it should be said that it is a dragon among men.

If history can be assumed, suppose that during the Jingkang period, Zhong Xiang and Yang Qi led troops to Kaifeng Qinwang, fought for a few years, and won the official position of the imperial court. This Yang Mi may not become a generation of famous generals like Yue and Han, open his teeth to build a mansion, and there will be one more person among the generals of Zhongxing.

It's a pity that Yang Mi escaped today.

In Wang Shen's mind: Zhong Xiang and Yang Mi are the most terrible enemies of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Especially in this time and space without Yue Fei, once Yang Qi gets into trouble, he is afraid that others will not be his opponents.

Wang Xie can't do it, Zhang Jun can't do it, and even Li Gang doesn't have anything he can do. If you replace it with Liu Guangshi...... With the Huaixi Army and Xiao Taiwei's combat style that turned into the wind, I am afraid that the death will not be too ugly.

Perhaps, only Han Shizhong can barely be Yang Mi's opponent, right?

It is conceivable that in the next five or six years, or even ten years, Zhao Gou will really have no way to take Yang Mi, and this Huguang area will really be completely eroded.

As soon as Huguang was in chaos and Jianghan was unstable, the Sizhou army would not be able to live in peace.

This time, the backing army went out of Hunan, intending to cut off the aftermath of Manichaeism. Unexpectedly, he killed a pig, but released Yang Mi, a tiger, out of the cage.

While discussing with his subordinates, Wang Shen was thinking in his heart about how to deal with Yang Mi, who had escaped and was about to ignite the prairie fire: the reason why Manichaeism was corrupt was not only related to Yang Mi's peerless talent, but also related to the fact that the doctrine of the Destiny Sect was good at demagoguery. If we want to completely pacify Hunan, there are only two means. First, like Kong Yanzhou in real history and Li Cheng now, they killed and stopped killing, completely killed all the people of Hunan, and completely exhausted the manpower and material resources of the entire Hunan, so that Yang Mi had no food to levy and no available soldiers. However, Lao Tzu is not a beast, how can he do such a thing? Once your reputation is bad, how will you dominate the world in the future?

The second way was to appease the people and compete with Manichaeism for the hearts and minds of the people.

However, this is even more impossible. To reassure people, a lot of resources need to be invested. Under the threat of Zhang Yong, Cao Cheng and the Jurchen army in the north, it is impossible for him to stay in Hunan for a long time.

"It seems that there is really no way to take Yang Mi!" Wang Shen had a headache.

Fortunately, if Yang Mi wants to think about it, he still needs to accumulate the strength of a year, and in a short period of time, An Lu's future troubles can be completely cut off.

Fortunately, he finally got a hearty victory, and the gains were huge, but they could give him some comfort.

In the early hours of this morning, the palace of Zhong Xiang was raided by Yue Yun and Niu Gao, and a raging fire was ignited.

Seeing the fire on the mountain, Wang Shen led all the main forces to attack. The terrain of Lianyunzhai is dangerous, and the siege battle was once limited to Jiao, and the thief army on the mountain did not stop to help.

At this time, Chen Lanruo's lance picked up Zhong Xiang's head, shouting all the way and rushing down.

Seeing the head of their own sect leader and the fire on the mountain, the Manichaeans immediately became confused, throwing down their weapons and running around, unable to organize an effective defense.

Lianyuanzhai was completely taken by the Sizhou army, with 2,000 backs, 500 cavalry soldiers, and thousands of auxiliary soldiers and people shouting that they rushed up the mountain like a tide to slash and kill. Kill everything they can see and steal everything they can.

More than 3,000 of the 10,000 Manichaean soldiers were killed, and the rest became prisoners of Wang Shen.

In this battle, Wang Shen obtained more than 300 horses, thousands of mules, donkeys, cattle, and sheep, as well as countless grains, grasses, gold and silver, and won a complete victory.

A general stepped forward: "Military envoy, the last general has already been roughly screened." After deducting the old and weak women and children, there are more than 5,000 young and strong people captured by our army, how to deal with them, and ask the military envoy to show them? ”

Hearing so many captives, the generals' spirits were lifted. These are all soldiers with combat experience, according to the rules of the Sizhou army. Prisoners are generally placed in concentration camps for unified training, and when the training is completed, most of them will be enriched into the training of local township warriors. And the most elite of them will be replenished to the front-line combat troops.

At least 1,000 people can be used for 5,000 young men, and their own troops can be strengthened again.

Even Niu Gao didn't care about the pain in his buttocks, and looked at it with his spirits. After he joined the Sizhou army, he only had one or two hundred people who came here from Henan together, and if he could replenish a few hundred this time, he would be considered a force that could go to the battlefield.

"I know you all want to replenish the troops, after all, we have few soldiers in Sizhou, and this kind of battlefield veteran is the most rare. However, I advise you to dispel this idea. Wang Shen said lightly: "These people are deeply abiding by the cult doctrine and are confused, how can they be willing to serve a certain person." I have also read the scriptures of Mingjiao, and every word on them says that those who do not believe in religion are evil demons, and killing the so-called evil demons can prove the Great Dao. For the sake of name, you can also pretend to surrender when necessary, Xu Weitu. The so-called hearts and minds are separated from their bellies, and even if the captives join our army, no one knows what they think psychologically. So, these people are not trustworthy. ”

A general asked, "Envoy, are you going to slaughter them all?" ”

There is a cold snap from everyone's hearts, killing prisoners, the Sizhou army has never done it, this is 5,000 lives! If they are all killed, I am afraid that this valley will be filled with corpses.

"No, killing prisoners is ominous, and a certain disdain to do it." Wang Shen shook his head.

"Please also ask the military envoy to show me."

"Since you don't kill them, you naturally let them go. However, before he could release them, he had to tell them to leave something behind. Sunlight was shining on his face through the hole in the broken roof, making his face look half yin and half yang.

"Do you want to cut off one of their hands or one of their legs...... everyone gasped for air, for if they were missing an arm or a leg and could not work in the fields, they would all starve to death on the roadside in the coming season.

Wang Shen: "It's not enough to be so ruthless, but this matter is a matter of heaven and harmony, and it can't be done." However, in order to prevent these thieves from picking up weapons and going to the battlefield to fight against me in the future, we only need to make them not run. By my command, all the captives, young and old, should have their toes cut off their toes and be sent home with their toes paid. ”

Everyone said in unison: "The military envoy has a good idea. ”

Niu Gao also thought deeply, yes, as long as the thumbs of the two feet of the captives were cut off, they would not be able to run with their feet, and naturally they would not be able to fight as soldiers. However, although it is inconvenient to walk, it does not affect the work in the fields.

He couldn't help but think: Wang Junenvoy is really a benevolent and righteous person!
