When Dugu Yu sighed the last sentence, Hu Bilie had already gone away and returned to his camp.

When he came to his tent, his entourage was still heavily guarded, guarding his tent and his secrets.

He lifted the curtain and entered the tent, only to find that the tent was empty, and the mysterious old man was no longer there.

However, Hu Bilie was already familiar with this, because this mysterious old man always appeared when he needed him the most, and every time he finished explaining or instructing himself, he would leave on his own or hide in a corner of the army, unable to find him.

Coming and going in a hurry, his whereabouts were ethereal and low-key, Hu Bilie stood in the empty tent and smiled dumbly, remembering the last words of the mysterious old man last night, he couldn't help but feel a surging mood again.

Finally, he walked out of the tent again, and dismissed his entourage, who had been guarding fifty paces outside the tent. Since the old man has mysteriously disappeared again, there is no need for his own tent to be guarded.

Otherwise, if it was seen by Yu Jingde and others, there was no doubt that there were no three hundred taels of silver here, which would provoke the suspicion of others.

After dismissing his relatives and letting them go down to get busy, Hu Bilie walked to a commanding height in the camp, stopped and looked at Qianzhou City, which was ten miles away, although he couldn't look closely, he vaguely saw the appearance of the city tower.

After looking at it, he muttered secretly, let you be proud again, tomorrow afternoon a shower will come, this sect leader will not only convince Yu Jingde and them, but also surprise you officers and soldiers.

……

……

Qianzhou City, South Gate City Building.

Guo Ye had just finished breakfast, and he had been eating and living with the soldiers defending the city on the city tower for several days, the purpose of which was to boost the morale and morale of the army.

After having eaten breakfast and wandering around the castle tower, he listened to the scout return to him with information about the bandit army outside the city.

Hearing that the bandit army seemed to be still standing still today, and there was no sign of sending troops to attack the city, Guo Ye's expression became unnaturally solemn.

It stands to reason that nearly 500,000 bandit troops have gathered, and an advance force should be sent to probe the wind, so how can there be no movement at all?

Could it be that the other party was really frightened by his own minefield? Or is the fate of Zhao Youxin and the 50,000 bandit army already discouraged them?

At this time, Xue Rengui suddenly had blood on his clothes, blood stains on his face, and a murderous look between his eyebrows hurried towards Guo Ye.

He stood firmly in front of Guo Ye with the waist knife in his hand, and said loudly: "My lord, the matter has been done, and General Ruan Lang is making the final touches." ”

Xue Rengui's voice was loud, and he immediately attracted onlookers from Pang Feihu, Cao Luxun, Kang Bao and others not far away.

Because everyone understands that the thing mentioned by Xue Rengui is done, it is one of the things that everyone has been controversial about before-how to deal with the 10,000 White Lotus Sect captives.

Everyone looked at this kid covered in blood and murderous appearance, and couldn't help but muttered in secret, look at this fierce appearance, could it be that Xue Rengui, this kid, didn't do anything endlessly, and directly solved all these 10,000 people?

Guo Ye asked: "Rengui, you said before that these 10,000 captives will be handed over to you to dispose of, don't you tell you that this is such a disposal method, right?" ”

After asking, he also gestured and made a gesture of raising and falling with his hand.

Xue Rengui wiped the blood stains on his face, shook his head and laughed: "How can you be so sloppy?" Didn't your subordinates promise you before? We will never let go of a bandit with blood on his hands, but he will never kill an innocent member in vain. Therefore, the subordinates gathered all these 10,000 people...... Belch...... Let them expose and report each other, but if there are more than ten bandits who confess and testify that this person has killed the people without permission and committed heinous crimes, the subordinates will order this person to be taken away, and then they will be executed in a unified manner, comforting the innocent people who died in vain at the hands of the White Lotus Sect. ”

"Obediently, Xue Rengui, you kid is okay!"

Cheng Erniu took the lead in giving a thumbs up and praised: "Why didn't I think of this method in the first place?" ”

Pang Feihu, Kang Bao and others also nodded their heads and praised: "This method is good, it is definitely not good to kill an innocent sect member, and it will never let go of a murderous sect bandit." ”

"Indeed, Captain Xue's method is better than preferring to indulge in vain." Cao Luxun also had to admit that Xue Rengui was indeed more thoughtful than him.

Although Guo Ye did not approve of this method, he always felt that this method was somewhat similar to the catastrophe of a special era in later generations. Guo Ye hated the catastrophe of that era, because he exposed and reported each other, and even the family stood in line with each other and cleared up for self-protection, losing their humanity and personality. At that time, his grandfather was drunk and made a few complaints and micro-remarks during that catastrophe, and was exposed and reported by the neighbors of the same street for meritorious service, and finally was criticized to death.

But if you don't recognize it, you don't recognize it, compared to Xue Rengui's use of this method in the captives this time, he has to admit that this is undoubtedly a good way to remove the turnips and keep the essence.

It can only be this time and that time!

Immediately, he neither praised Xue Rengui nor reprimanded him, but reminded him slightly: "Although this method is good, it is not suitable for popularization." Rengui, just this once, let's not take it as an example! ”

"Uh......"

Xue Rengui was slightly stunned, and just wanted to open his mouth to ask why, but was blocked back by Guo Ye in time: "Don't ask why, by the way, how many captives are left?" ”

Xue Rengui suppressed his curiosity, and replied with some interest: "Half and half!" ”

Guo Ye muttered secretly, there are still five thousand people left, it's okay.

Then I thought of what Xue Rengui mentioned just now, Ruan Laosan was making the final touches, could it be that this guy wanted to take over this group of prisoners and use them to enrich his sword and shield battalion that had almost collapsed?

Then he waved his hand happily and said, "Let this be the end of the matter of the captivity." The remaining 5,000 men will be temporarily filled into your sword and shield camp. Although these people are a rabble, and their military literacy is extremely poor, it is better than nothing. Wait for the class master to return to the court, and then supplement the sword and shield battalion. ”

"Yes!"

Xue Rengui replied and said secretly, tsk, how did he know that this was the idea of my fight with Ruan Laosan?

After settling the matter of the prisoners, Guo Ye's temporary internal worries should be alleviated, after all, 5,000 people were replenished into the sword and shield camp, and if the food and grass were tight, they should still be barely able to cope with it.

Rumble~

At this moment, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, which immediately distracted everyone's attention from the captive.

The thunder stopped abruptly after only one sound, but the sweltering heat of the weather today still made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Pang Feihu reminded Guo Ye: "Little brother, it's July now, the climate in the south is hot and dry, and it's particularly hot today, do you want to tell your room to boil some mung bean soup and other soup to relieve the heat, and then send it to the city to let the brothers relieve the heat?" Hey, to be honest, most of our brothers in the Guangnan Route Army are from the north, and they can't adapt to the climate in the south. ”

Guo Ye nodded again and again, and said, "I ignored this matter, Feihu, you go back and explain to Zhu Fatzi, and ask him to quickly follow up with the guy to urge this matter." ”

"Command!"

Pang Feihu hurriedly turned around and went down to the South Gate Tower to find Zhu Fatzi.

Guo Ye seemed to remember something, and asked: "In the area within a radius of one mile outside the south gate, has Steward Yu already dug a pit and buried mines and rearranged the minefield?" ”

Several people claimed to be.

Guo Ye frowned slightly, and muttered: "Today's weather is a bit weird, too hot." And I see the clouds in the sky, and maybe there will be a shower tonight or tomorrow. If it rains heavily, the minefield outside the south gate will be considered blind. When gunpowder meets water, can it still be used for a fart? ”

"Huh?"

Cao Luxun was the first to react and speculated: "Lord Guo, are you saying that the White Lotus Bandit Army will take advantage of the rain tonight or tomorrow to launch a general attack in the rain?" ”

Guo Ye nodded slightly and said, "I think, this is the only way they can think of at the moment, to break our minefield, right?" Hehe, if it really rained, how could they let go of such a great opportunity? ”

After a few words, everyone fell silent.

"My lord, there is a situation!"

In an instant, the call of a soldier broke the silence and drew the attention of Guo Ye and the others.

I saw a soldier not far away raising his hand and pointing to the city, and shouted at Guo Ye: "My lord, there is a person outside the city who is riding a donkey and slowly approaching our south gate. Belch...... It seems to be an old man in gray, my lord, the other party has entered the minefield, is he greeting with a bow and crossbow? ”

A gray-clad old man riding a donkey?

Guo Ye immediately raised his hand to block and said: "Let him come safely, don't hurt him." See what he wants to do? ”

Well, Guo Ye had obviously been aroused in his curiosity, and he was eager to see what was going on with the old man riding the donkey. Knowing that there is a war here, he dares to ride a donkey alone, why is he such a dick?
