Chapter 65: Cocooning and Binding Yourself (I)

The investigation of the massacre incident soon had results, none of the soldiers led by Dagan left the camp, and no one from the Jiong Mo Department participated, and the surrounding Yi troops could not have been there.

Despite their innocence, they had to withdraw from the army on charge, the soldiers of the Yi army were holding a fire in their hearts, and the strategy of piercing the barrel worked, and after killing two hundred prisoners pretending to be Yi Jun in public, this shocking news also spread like the wind, and the Yi army's practice of not protecting the shortcomings and paying for blood debts and blood has been recognized by many Zhao people.

After deliberation, He Ran decided to set the defense line within fifteen cities, which means that not only will the results of the battle be halved, but also the Zhao army will have to fight for twelve points to be careful to guard against the counterattack of the Zhao army.

After making the overall deployment, He Ran led his troops in the direction of Miyagi, Xu Tong's men and horses broke through the farthest, and when they retreated, they were easily pursued by the enemy, so he had to go to answer it.

When he traveled nearly 100 miles, he still did not meet the retreating Yi army, He Ran was worried, the military order to retreat had been issued for six days, and it stands to reason that Xu Tong's men and horses should have withdrawn here, could it be that he was besieged by the Zhao army, he did not dare to venture forward again, and sent scouts to inquire about the news.

Soon after the horse was sent, the person who sent Xu Tong to report the letter also arrived, and this person had already come out, because he did not know that the army division had marched to this side, and went to the previous camp, and after asking about the situation, he caught up with him, so he was delayed for two days.

"What's going on, why hasn't the general withdrawn yet?" He Ran asked calmly after listening to his explanation,

The man said with a bitter face: "This soldier really can't be withdrawn, the general asked the villain to report to the military division, and ask the military division to show it." ”

"I can't get out." He Ran frowned slightly,

The man said: "Yu military division, after receiving the military order from Lord Changshi, the general immediately ordered all departments to retreat, and the general personally led the army palace, but when he just withdrew to Ying'an, he couldn't march, and thousands of people in Ying'an went out of the city to block the road. ”

He Ran was secretly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Zhao Min to be so bloody, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "You hurry back and tell the general that the situation is in danger, don't be bound by the previous military order not to disturb the people, try your best to drive away, if the mob swears to resist stubbornly, then fight a bloody way, you must not be blocked there, otherwise the Zhao army will be at risk of being surrounded and annihilated when it comes." ”

The man waved his hand again and again: "No, no, those people are not trying to cut off my way back, they don't want us to leave, help the old and the young to kneel on the ground and invite us to enter the city, if you don't agree, you can't get up, the general can't bear to abandon it, and urgently ordered the villain to come back and ask for instructions, and when the army retreated, the people along the way followed, and the more they gathered, the general wanted to temporarily stay in Ying'an City as a backing to protect these people to reach us safely." ”

He Ran was stunned, although he knew that the people's hearts were oriented to Yi Ke here, he didn't expect it to come to this point, it seems that justice is in the hearts of the people, and the harm of the enemy's slaughter and planting is not as great as he expected, he is very hesitant in his heart, there is no danger to defend near Ying'an, it is too dangerous to let Xu Tong stay there,

While he was hesitating, the reports on both sides of Kong Lin and Wang Jin came one after another, and the contents of the reports were similar to those on Xu Tong's side: the people knelt down and cried and worshiped and forced the Yi army to garrison,

He Ran was a little moved, after getting off the horse, he ordered someone to set up a few cases on the side of the road to lay out the geographical map, he sat down and seemed to be casually looking at the map for a while and looking at the scenery for a while, but he was nervous in his heart.

At this time, the bucket covered in dust returned,

"You've come at the right time." He Ran showed joy, "I'm hesitating how to withdraw this soldier, according to what you can see, can the people rely on it?" ”

Piercing the bucket nodded lightly, and said: "The subordinates are in a hurry to explain this matter to the military advisor, I don't dare to say anything else, but the general doesn't have to retreat too much, the farthest away from the palace city has nearly half of the people following behind the army, I came back all the way, the people along the way have learned about the lingering peace, and they have to follow suit, some people have already set up tents on the road and are waiting to block it, and forcing it to withdraw will cause the armies of all roads to fall into chaos." ”

He Ran had a bottom in his heart, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "As soon as you say this, I know what to do, there is a lot of hard work, let's go and rest first." ”

Wearing the barrel in the mouth promised but did not retreat, helping to readjust the configuration of various people and horses on the side, and set a new stationing plan,

This is not an easy task, the overall deployment involves a hair and the whole body, the various departments not only have to be in danger but also can support each other, rescue, fortunately, sometimes Lang provides a geographical map to help, they have already drawn up several sets of plans in advance, at this time only need to choose the most suitable one to adjust slightly,

The military order was issued again, and the Yi army, who was trapped on the road several roads, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and each headed towards a new station.

He Ran summoned a group of officials transferred from the mainland who accompanied the army, and said with a smile: "It's time for you to leave for your duties, the people have such a sincere heart, you just need to continue to uphold the previous way of being officials, and it is not difficult to quickly make the local peace and the people happy." ”

Most of these officials are city guards with good political achievements, Lu Yu of Ning'an City, Guo Yue of Xizhicheng and so on are among them, the strength of the country is by no means only a brigade can be done by a brigade that can fight well, a team of upright officials with an appropriate number is also indispensable, now the country of Yi is really strong, and the occupation of the land of Shun can not be said at the same time, there is no need to worry about the lack of officials to send, these officials who are familiar with the new policy and are honest and talented are the guarantee of the confidence and courage of He Ran to dare to swallow dozens of cities again,

A group of officials got on their horses to say goodbye, and led their retinues to the pre-assigned city to take up their posts.

Sending the local officials away, He Ran saw the barrel with a somewhat sneering expression, knowing what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the new policy to make the people yearn for Rusi, but your decisive response should also play a great role in the meantime, so that Zhao Min can see our determination to love the people like a son with strict military law, otherwise there will not be so many people in the palace city who are willing to follow." ”

Hearing what the military advisor said, he grinned and said: "I am feeling ashamed, this plan was conceived, alas, I carried the black cauldron of slaughtering the people in vain, my lord, this is a word of comfort or a sincere compliment." ”

He Ran took his hand and said sincerely: "There is no lie, although it has not been inquired, but it can be expected that your strategy has played a big role, I want to write down this military merit for you, since such a big thing has happened, the people still believe in us, then you should start drafting a notice as soon as possible to publish the details of our investigation to the public, let those despicable people in Zhao State who pretend to be smart cocoon and bind themselves, although it is difficult for us to get any ironclad evidence, but looking at the current situation, at least nearly half of Zhao Min will believe our words, which is enough." ”

Piercing the bucket promised: "I'll write it, but I have to ask the military advisor to first treat me for the crime of killing innocents without knowing the facts, and write it into the notice, this play has to be performed, and we can't tell the people that we are killing prisoners and pretending to be Yi Jun to deceive them." ”

He Ran smiled slightly: "Okay, exempt you from the post of long history, wear the crime as a staff member, I also have to go to the king of the book to ask for guilt, and ask the official to be demoted to three levels, you can write this chapter for me." ”

Piercing the bucket said with a smile: "There are too many threes." ”

He Ran shook his head and said: "If I really killed two hundred brothers by mistake, it is not too much to be directly demoted to a common person, this guilt will accompany me for the rest of my life, this is different from the death of brothers due to misstrategy, I can't explain to their families, if I want to act, I have to act like some." ”

"Yes." Wear the bucket and promise to leave,

"Also, a fine of three years." He Ran added,

"Yes." Piercing the barrel and turning around again,

"Come back." He Ran called him again, thought for a while, and said, "Punish him for one year." ”

Piercing the barrel couldn't help but laugh,

He Ran also smiled and said: "It's not that I'm greedy for money, you know that the Military Division's Mansion has always had no expenses, and every time I go on an expedition, I can bring back a lot of precious gifts from others, even if I am punished for ten years, I don't have to worry about it, but I have to help people like the general from time to time, they spend a lot of money, and this problem is not easy to change for a while, and now that the money has been reduced, I can't let those who support me to change the official system be too aggrieved." ”

Wearing the bucket, he put away his smile, bowed with admiration, and promised again: "Yes." ”
