Although Zhang Han had plans to subdue the bandits for his own use, this was only his personal preliminary idea, and when he said it to Zhang Ping and Shi Cheng, the two of them invariably expressed strong opposition.

"Big brother, the bandits are cunning and vicious, how can they be gullible? What's more, so many brothers have been lost tonight, if all the bandits are surrendered, it will definitely chill the hearts of the rest of the soldiers! ”

Zhang Ping's face was full of resoluteness, and there was no usual respect in his tone, it could be seen that he hated these bandits from the bottom of his heart, and he was also very dissatisfied with Zhang Han's decision.

Shi Cheng took a step forward and agreed: "Your Majesty, my subordinates think that what General Zhang Ping said is extremely true, this gang of bandits is full of evil, and they should be dealt with strictly, regardless of reason." ”

Seeing that his two confidants were so repulsed, Zhang Han also fell into deep thought, and had to think about his decision again.

In fact, fundamentally speaking, this gang of bandits is indeed innocent. They caused such a lot of casualties in Xianyang, and they were angry, not to mention Zhang Ping and Shicheng, even Zhang Han himself would never want to spare them.

But compared with Shi Cheng and others, the only difference between Zhang Han and others is that he thinks farther than them. Zhang Han deeply knew that these bandits who crashed into the door were his only hope at present.

Their own side was already in a weak position, and in addition to the fact that many of their own soldiers were killed in this battle, their strength had been greatly weakened. As the saying goes, what is afraid of something, if he comes again during this period, it is something he can't bear no matter what.

So now is the time when I don't care about these grudges, in order to improve the current situation, any power that can be used, Zhang Han is bound to not be wasted. Forced by the current critical situation, even if there was a big conflict in the past, as long as it can be used by himself, he can not blame the past.

This is a bit like the set of the anti-Japanese period in later generations, that is, the so-called "anti-Japanese national united front". In order to achieve the final victory, it is possible to unite all the forces that can be united. Whether it is the peasants, the workers, the urban petty bourgeoisie and the national bourgeoisie, or even some other political forces, those who should let go of their grievances must let go of their grievances, because after all, everything is for the greater good.

It has to be said that this is the right decision, but it is difficult to be accepted by the public.

Shi Cheng and Zhang Ping thought very simply, that is, to avenge the dead soldiers and people. Compared with them, Zhang Han's move undoubtedly seems to be much more utilitarian, but there is no way to do it, different values determine their different concepts.

In Zhang Han's plan, once these bandits can be taken for their own use, then the role they can play is simply too great. Some of the things that I really want to do now, but can't do, can be done right away, and there are countless places where I can use them.

For example, Zhang Han could have used their bandit status to intervene in the recent trade dispute.

Although Zhang Han didn't make a move himself, with this force loyal to himself, Zhang Han could completely make some small moves in private - if a group of bandits of unknown origin robbed Sima Xin or Dong Peng of the weapons transported by Sima Xin or Dong Peng on the road, no one could say anything about Zhang Han, right?

For example, if some villages are influenced by other forces and are unwilling to accept Zhang Han's weapon support, then it is not a good idea to let this gang of thugs beat and beat.

While these can only be regarded as sideways, the impact is enormous. It was precisely because of this consideration that Zhang Han decided to give these bandits a chance. But how to appease the dissatisfaction of Zhang Ping and others while co-opting them, this is Zhang Han's incomparably headache.

"You don't have to worry, bring the bandit leader first, and I'll interrogate him before making plans."

Zhang Han didn't say anything to death, he wanted to see if the quality of these bandits was worth keeping them.

"Yes!"

Zhang Ping and Shi Cheng glanced at each other, although their faces were very dissatisfied, but under Zhang Han's order, they still turned around and went to the prison to summon the bandit leader.

After a stick of incense, Zhang Ping returned to Zhang Han with a few soldiers. I saw that behind him, the soldier was escorting a big man with a fierce face, and the big man was tied up with five flowers, and he only had the ability to breathe.

This big man must be the leader of the bandits, Zhang Han's sharp gaze swept back and forth on his face, looking at this daring bandit curiously.

When the prisoner arrived, Zhang Ping waved his hand, and the rest of the soldiers retreated, leaving only the three of them and the big man in the room. The big man was tightly bound and sat on the ground, so he didn't have to worry about him breaking out and hurting people.

Facing the culprit who caused the bloody case, Shi Cheng and Zhang Ping's faces were full of murderous intent, and they looked at the big man's eyes with anger. Surprisingly, the big man did not show weakness and looked at everyone toughly.

For a moment no one spoke, and the hall was filled with an oppressive atmosphere that made it difficult to breathe.

"You are not too daring, you dare to fight the idea of Xianyang, and you can be regarded as the first person. If it weren't for the help of the people, maybe I would have been planted under your hands today. ”

Zhang Han seemed to have a smile on his face, with a hint of banter in his tone, and took the lead in breaking the silence and enlivening the atmosphere.

Listening to Zhang Han's words, Dahan couldn't help but show bitterness, in his opinion, he was already a mortal ending, Zhang Han's words were undoubtedly sarcastic about himself. Anyway, it was all a death, and he was no longer restrained, but let it go.

"Defeat is defeat, why should King Yong mock me. The matter has come to this point, if you want to kill me, Li Yi will admit it! Please do it. ”

Li Yi has really put life and death aside until now, and he also knows that most of his life is nine deaths, so he is simply more calm.

Zhang Ping looked at Li Yi with a hard face, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he couldn't see that this person was still an iron-blooded man.

And Shi Cheng showed a face full of disdain, no matter whether Li Yi was tough or not, in the end he was still a bandit full of evil, in his eyes, this person was no different from the enemy who died in the battle just now.

"Heh, I'm not busy killing you, I still have to ask you something." Zhang Han was a little curious about this person, "As far as I know, there is no such a large group of bandits in Xianyang, where did you come from?" ”

This is exactly the problem that plagued Zhang Han and several others. In remote areas where bandits are rampant, gangs of this magnitude may exist. But in the vicinity of Xianyang, it was hard for them to imagine that there would be such a large force. Hearing Zhang Han's question, Zhang Pingshi pricked up his ears and waited to hear Li Yi's answer.

Li Yi had already put life and death aside, so he no longer did useless stubbornness, he looked at everyone's puzzled expressions, and couldn't help but sneer:

"You don't have to be nervous, there will naturally be no bandits with hundreds of people in the hinterland of Guanzhong. This attack on Xianyang was not only our gang, but the alliance of dozens of bandits in Guanzhong. As for the reason, I'm sure you also know that if you hadn't driven us to a dead end, we wouldn't have made this decision. ”

Listening to Li Yi's explanation, Zhang Han and the others were relieved, it turned out that the bandits this time were a combination of multiple forces in other places in Guanzhong, and it seemed that the public security near Xianyang had not been bad to that extent. Having said that, if there are hundreds of bandits in the hinterland of Guanzhong, then these people are really going to be unpleasant.

"And where is your lair?" Zhang Ping suddenly asked on the side.

Zhang Ping was in charge of public security near Xianyang for a period of time, and he had a little impression of the surrounding bandits, but he had never heard of Li Yi, so he asked this question.

"Our lair? Hehe, you should have heard of Baoji Mountain in Chencang County. Li Yi did not hide it, and gave out all the information and inventory.

"Chen Cang!?"

Before Li Yi's words fell, Zhang Han couldn't help but exclaim, Zhang Ping, Shi Cheng, and Li Yi all looked at him in astonishment, not understanding why Zhang Han was suddenly so out of shape.
