Yang Su's face soothed, and said: "Wang joins the army, before the army goes out, he must kill people and sacrifice the flag, if it is replaced by the Turks in the north, he must smear these blood on his face, the soldiers who see the blood are fearless, today the blood into the commander's tent, there is nothing ominous, and after my army crosses the river, this commander will definitely let the blood of Jiangnan traitors fill the entire Jiangnan!"

When the generals in the tent heard this, they all suddenly became bloody, Yang Su never mentioned the matter of crossing the river these days, even if someone asked, it was a sentence of "the commander has his own plans" and reprimanded coldly, today is the first time in the past six months, as the commander Yang Su mentioned the word Jiang, since he said so, please represent that the army will soon go out, so that the generals can see the hope of making contributions.

But Wang Huaqiang's heart sank with "Geden", killing people and standing up, and it was customary to behead and go on the expedition, but he had a long talk with Gao Xi before he came, this time he couldn't rely on iron-blooded killing to pacify Jiangnan, otherwise the seeds of hatred would be sown too much, and the land of Jiangnan in the future would no longer have a peaceful day.

Thinking of this, Wang Huaqiang's expression became stern, and he didn't seem to see the head and military merits beckoning to him like other generals, and they were all overjoyed.

Yang Su's eyes hadn't taken off Wang Huaqiang's body yet, he said slowly: "Wang joins the army, it seems that your interest is not very high, you say it is ominous to kill your own people, so what is the problem of killing the enemy?" ”

Wang Huaqiang took a deep breath, he knew that if he didn't say some things now, it would be difficult to stop them after crossing the river, which was different from whether to forbear, a fierce general like Yu Juluo, if he was allowed to lead an army to sweep one place alone, it was likely that he would be killed, even if Yang Su gave the order, it would be difficult to stop.

So Wang Huaqiang arched his hand and said: "The last general thinks that this southern expedition should focus on attacking the heart and killing people first." Even if you have fought the big river, you should not let the blood of Jiangnan flow into a river. ”

Yang Su's face sank suddenly: "Wang joined the army, the people of Jiangnan are ungrateful, they don't remember the emperor's mighty heavenly grace, but they rebel and kill my officials, you should have heard of these things, don't you have hatred for these thieves?" ”

After the generals heard Wang Huaqiang's words, although they didn't dare to talk to each other casually because of the military order, they looked at Wang Huaqiang one by one with disdain, only Shi Wansui and Lai Hu'er looked at Wang Huaqiang carefully, and their eyes seemed to be expectant.

Wang Huaqiang raised his head and said loudly: "Dashuai Mingjian, judging from the news obtained in the past half a year, the rebellion in Jiangnan this time is that those families who are unwilling to lose their interests in the Southern Dynasty for hundreds of years are inciting the tenants who do not know the truth to rise up and make trouble, they have kidnapped these ordinary people, if we kill more and more hard, there will be hatred all over Jiangnan, then there will be more and more people who throw themselves into these people, and there will be no peace for a long time." ”

Yang Su's eyes flashed, and he seemed to be a little surprised by Wang Huaqiang's answer, his voice was still low and smooth: "Then in your opinion, what should happen after crossing the river?" Do you want to continue to let people go if they catch them like they did last time? ”

Lai Hu'er stood up, glanced at Wang Huaqiang, turned to Yang Su and saluted: "The last general thinks that what Wang joined the army said is not possible, the southerners are cunning, even if they see the power of our army and surrender temporarily, after our army retreats, there will definitely be trouble again, just like Lingnan." Therefore, the general thought that after the conquest of the south, he would not only punish the murderers and eliminate the violence to deter the thieves, but also send a large army to garrison it so that they would not dare to rebel again. ”

Shi Wansui also stood up: "The last general also holds the same opinion, I waited thousands of miles to come, not to go back after a circle, the eldest husband should make contributions on the battlefield, if the enemy continues to surrender without a fight this time, then won't we become monkeys who are played around by them?" ”

Wang Huaqiang's heart sank, seeing that these two guys wanted to come here to make contributions, the last time they fought in the south, these two were promoted to two levels, from Shangyi to Shangkaifu all of a sudden, and tasted the sweetness, they all thought about how to be promoted to a general this time, if they really didn't let them accept people's heads, they would definitely hate themselves, this should also be the current thoughts of most of the generals in the tent.

Wang Huaqiang sighed secretly, it's better not to do anything that is angry with the public, but you can't really let go and let these people kill, with the Sui military system, the head is the military merit, and when the time comes, these people can do anything to kill the good and risk the merit, anyway, they won't stay in Jiangnan after the killing, and they don't have to deal with the mess themselves.

Thinking of this, Wang Huaqiang still arched his hand and said: "Dashuai, although the last general is soft-spoken, he still thinks that the battle of Jiangnan should be emulated from the battle of the Southern Expedition of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms. And what the general said just now is very reasonable, after the pacification, the general should also be left to guard. ”

A trace of imperceptible annoyance flashed on Lai Hu'er's face, and he secretly said in his heart: Is Wang Huaqiang, this kid taking me? It won't be that if you take my words, you will let me stay in Jiangnan in the future.

Shi Wansui also said secretly: Damn, the master came to Jiangnan, isn't it just to get a reward for military merits, this kid joined the army a little, of course he will not have military merits, you can't be promoted, and you have to block the way of the master's promotion, and you have to find a way to teach this kid a good lesson.

Yang Su looked at Wang Huaqiang, and the light in his eyes flashed: "Wang joins the army, so according to what you see, how can you attack the heart?" On the battlefield, the enemy army will definitely still resist desperately, and if you don't kill people, people will kill you. ”

Wang Huaqiang replied: "We must win on the battlefield, this is a must, if we don't establish the prestige of our Great Sui Army through one victory after another, then some people who originally had a wait-and-see attitude will also rebel, in fact, this time Jiangnan is so fierce, isn't it because at the beginning of my Great Sui Jiangnan left behind troops were insufficient, and the battlefield took care of one and the other, let the traitors attack the state and trap the county, and saw hope." ”

Yang Su nodded: "Yes, it's true, when the pacification of Nanchen was pacified, my army returned to the division, and only thirty or forty thousand northern soldiers were left in Jiangnan, and they were basically concentrated in Jiankang and Suzhou, most of the other counties and counties were officials on bicycles, there was no army to escort them, and most of the defenders who were retained were the original officials and soldiers of Nanchen. ”

Wang Huaqiang raised his head, and the green light flashed in his eyes: "These people have rebelled and should be punished, but if they are all slaughtered, they will be full of hatred in Jiangnan, only in the land of Sanwu, these people together have sixty or seventy thousand, counting their families and clansmen, not to mention four or five hundred thousand, if they are all killed, I am afraid that Jiangnan will have no peace for decades."

The last general thought that the officers who led them to mutiny should be resolutely beheaded and exterminated, but for the captured ordinary soldiers, there was no need to deal with them in this way, they could be slaves, take their families, and move them to the northern Turkic border or the Longyou area, and fill the army as real households. ”

Lai Hu'er sneered: "Wang joins the army, I don't think your method is very clever, this time many rebels in the Southern Dynasties just believed the rumor that our northerners were going to move their Jiangnan people to the north as slaves, so they would rise up and rebel, didn't you give the truth to the mouth?" ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly: "Come General, please note what I just said, these are just for those Nanchen soldiers who surrendered and rebelled, and they are only tens of thousands of people, and for the hundreds of thousands of people of the Southern Dynasty who rose up to make trouble, you can't use this trick, on the contrary, you have to give them benefits, so that they can share the fields of those Nanchen Shi clans who were killed." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals in the tent couldn't help but start whispering, most of these people were pure soldiers and had never thought about it, and Wang Huaqiang's mention of yì today opened their eyes.

Lai Hu'er turned around and glared angrily: "Wang joined the army, today is the time when our army is about to swear to go on the expedition, it should have been full of courage and murderous spirit, you are talking nonsense here again and again, do you want to ruin the morale of our army?" ”

He turned to Yang Suyi and arched his hand: "Marshal, please punish this person for disturbing the army's heart, and don't let him affect the army's heart again." ”

Yang Su's face sank like water, and said to Wang Huaqiang: "Wang joins the army, what else do you have to say, continue to speak, Ben Shuai listened." ”
