Chapter 33: Suppressing Bandits (3)
In the handsome tent, after talking and laughing for a while, everyone sat down and waited for Cao Wei to give the next order to suppress the bandits. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Cao Wei looked at everyone and said: "At present, although there are only 800 of the 2,000 bandits left, they will definitely be like frightened birds at this time, and they will not easily fight with us again. ”
Several of the leading generals couldn't help frowning, and their eyes were no longer full of joy after victory, but full of sorrow.
Yes, this Grinding Sword Mountain is extremely vast, if these 800 bandits are hiding with an iron heart, where will they wait for the new army to find them?
But if they are left alone, the 800 bandits will be a hidden danger after all, and the purpose of their own group to suppress the bandits will not be fully realized.
After thinking for a long time, General Liu suggested: "It's better to do this, let's divide these five thousand recruits into five teams, search the adjacent area separately, and push them into the Grinding Sword Mountain step by step." ”
Cao Wei shook his head: "No, our recruits are only here for training, not for a long time, General Liu's method is safe, but it is too time-consuming, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”
General Wang also suggested at this time: "The last general also has a way, now that the weather is dry and dry, and Mojian Mountain is full of wild grass, let's simply set him on fire and burn Mojian Mountain, and then I don't believe that these bandits will not come out." ”
When everyone heard General Wang's words, they were all a little moved, and Cao Wei, as the coach, also felt that this was the fastest way, but after seeing Zhao Gu's face, Cao Wei did not immediately agree.
"Zhao joins the army, what do you think?" Cao Wei asked.
Zhao Gu glanced at General Wang apologetically, and said with his fists clenched: "I didn't mean to target General Wang, but General Wang's method may be useful against the Liao soldiers, but it may not be effective against the bandits in Mojian Mountain." ”
When General Wang heard this, he was quite unconvinced, but thinking of Cao Wei's admiration for him, General Wang could only hold back his dissatisfaction, and hugged his fists and said, "I don't know what you think about joining the army?" Why is my method useful to the Liao soldiers, but not to the bandits? ”
Zhao Gu couldn't hear the anger in General Wang's words, but when it came to the suppression of bandits, he could only tell the truth.
"Gao Jian didn't dare to be, but General Wang's method was indeed inappropriate, but I had to say it as a member of the army."
"Listen to Zhao join the army." General Wang snorted and said rather unceremoniously.
Zhao Gu didn't expect this General Wang to be so cautious, as a member of the army, he had the right to discuss this matter, but he looked like his eyes were above the top, as if he was deliberately looking for fault.
Zhao Gu asked himself that he was not a good man and a woman, not to mention that he was already one level higher than General Wang, even if he was just an ordinary soldier, he also had the right to express his opinion.
In his opinion, this General Wang is afraid that he is not a good person, and he wants to set fire to the mountain at every turn, and his murderous intent is too heavy.
Therefore, Zhao Gu's tone was not as polite as it was at the beginning.
"The reason why this method is useful for the Liao soldiers, but not for the bandits, is because the bandits all have long legs, if we set fire to the mountain, won't they run away?"
"If they are really forced to run around, this Grinding Sword Mountain is so wide, if they go down the mountain and drill into the mountain village where the common people live, then where can we tell who are the bandits? The Liao soldier is different, he does not speak the same language as us, and if he enters the people's village, he is afraid that he will be killed as soon as he shows up. ”
Zhao Gu's words were quite polite, and the implication was that you, General Wang, thought that if you set a fire and burned Mojian Mountain, the bandits would appear in front of you? Mojian Mountain is so big, can you protect it?
In fact, Zhao Gu still had a concern that he didn't say, that is, once these bandits were really hiding in the mountain village, when the recruits left, in case they made a comeback, wouldn't this time it be a joke to suppress the bandits?
General Wang didn't listen to this, in his opinion, Zhao Gu was clearly deliberately targeting him, so he heard General Wang sneer: "According to what the army said, can the people not tolerate the Liao soldiers, but can they tolerate the bandits?" It seems to me that even if these bandits are driven down the mountain, they will surely die, because they have done many evils, and the common people must be very disgusted with them, and who will take them in? ”
Regarding General Wang's question, Zhao Gu didn't bother to answer directly, and chose to ignore it.
General Wang felt his contempt and was about to get angry, but found that Cao Wei and several other generals had a strange face, and looked at him as if they were looking at an idiot.
"General Cao, who are you?" General Wang couldn't help but ask.
Cao Wei coughed lightly: "That's such General Wang, the eight hundred bandits on Mojian Mountain sound like a lot, but if they really hide in the many mountain villages, it will be difficult for us to find them." ”
"How is this possible, those people are eager to skin them and cramp, we just need to say hello, where else can the bandits run?" General Wang was disbelieving.
Cao Wei had no choice but to say helplessly: "But the bandits don't pop out of the cracks in the stones, they also have fathers and villagers." ”
General Wang was completely stunned at this time, and soon he also figured out the meaning of Zhao Gu's words.
It is true that what the bandits do is angry, but even if they rob many people, they will not rob their parents, brothers and villagers, maybe they will shelter these people, and when they do run down the mountain, these people will definitely not tell their whereabouts, but will cover them and confuse the eyes of the recruits.
This is the saying that a good man has three gangs, a fence has three piles, even if it is a vicious bandit, he always has his own relatives and friends.
Thinking about this, General Wang suddenly blushed, feeling that he was like a clown, and he didn't know that he was so ugly.
Because of this, he became more and more dissatisfied with Zhao Gu.
In his opinion, if Zhao Gu was not here, he would never have made such a big ugly appearance.
Some people are like this, they make mistakes without knowing it, and they put the blame on others.
General Wang felt shameless to stay in the tent anymore, and after squinting his eyes and glaring at Zhao Gu, he got up and left directly.
"It's ......." The other generals all frowned secretly, I don't know why General Wang is so angry, what Zhao Senjun said was for the purpose of suppressing bandits, and he didn't deliberately target you.
Retracting their gaze, the generals smiled bitterly at Zhao Gu, and at the same time, in order to show goodwill, they said that they and General Wang were not all the way.
Zhao Gu responded to the generals' kindness one by one, and when he turned around, his eyes were cold.
He is not a soft persimmon to be manipulated by others, today this General Wang is so faceless, and even shows hostility to himself in front of so many people, if he doesn't act next, it will be fine, if he really dares to offend Zhao Gu, Zhao Gu will never object to teaching him how to behave.
