Chapter 169: Spreading Kindness

The children still remember the terrible scenes of the raids and thieves in Montenegro in the previous months, and when they saw soldiers approaching on the road, they were frightened and hid behind the women. The women were also terrified, some of them were so anxious to protect their children that they picked up their children and ran inside, while others lay down in the wilderness according to their children, hoping not to be discovered by the incoming soldiers. However, there are also calm and bold ones, who looked at them for a while and said, "This is not like a thief, like a county soldier." ”

The people who came were the troops led by Zhao Yun and Xun Yu.

They fought a victory in Mafu Mountain, after Zuo Xu was killed by Li Xuan, the remaining group of dragons in Montenegro had no leader, and they had no fighting spirit, and fled in all directions, and were intercepted and killed by Zhao Yun, Li Dian, Dong Zhi, and Liu Qing on all sides, with most of the casualties. It only took half an hour for Zhao Yun to end the battle. After the battle, the results of the battle were checked, and more than 3,300 enemy people were killed, wounded, and captured. Montenegro, of more than 3,500 people, escaped, and less than 200 escaped.

Most of the 1200 Montenegrin soldiers who escaped fled into Mafu Mountain, because they were not very familiar with the mountain shape here, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, Zhao Yun did not pursue, reorganized the team, buried the bodies of the dead, and let go of the old and weak women and children who were coerced by Montenegro, and the whole army was transferred back to Yuanshi. This small village is on the way back to Yuanshi, but it is passing through here. - They had passed through this place last night, but the march was secretive, there were no torches, and the villagers were all in the middle of the day, so no one knew about it.

Commanding the troops alone to win a battle, Zhao Yun's mood was much lighter.

He was under a lot of pressure before he came. This is the first battle after Wen Chou took them to Changshan Country, and Wen Chou specially explained to him: only win, not lose, how can he not be under pressure? Fortunately, the battle went smoothly, nothing went wrong, and the task was successfully completed.

He was influenced by Wen Chou. He never rode a horse when he marched, but when he walked in the army on foot, he saw women and children in the field in the distance. He turned his head to look behind him. He said: "Move the car outside, and show all the gains we have made to the villagers." ”

The soldiers received the order and rushed back to convey his orders. Soon, the wagons at the back were moved to both sides of the line. More than 30 vehicles were loaded with heads and captured armor and ordnance. Zhao Yun ordered again: "Tell Liu Qing and ask him to lead people to the front." ”

Liu Qing's subordinates learned that they were dead soldiers under Wen Chou, who fought fiercely and bravely, and were not afraid of death. His subordinates either carried the head in their hands or hung it on their waists, which looked very scary. What is military might? In a way, intimidation is intimidating. The more frightening it is, the more intimidating it is. After receiving Zhao Yun's order, Liu Qing rushed to the front of the army with his headquarters soldiers. Xun Yu heard these two orders from Zhao Yun on the side, and said with a smile: "Zilong, these two orders of yours are very wonderful. From today onwards, Mafu Mountain is thirty miles from Yuanshi County. No one will know the power of the lieutenant! ”

Zhao Yun smiled. , Xun Yu couldn't see his expression. His eyes bent slightly, but they quickly returned to their original form. Xun Yu sighed to himself, and thought regretfully: "Zixiao is loyal, filial piety, brave and healthy, sensitive in words and deeds, joy and anger are invisible, although the talent is not known." However, there is already a general style, although he was born in the countryside, he is enough to be of great use, and his future achievements will definitely be more than this."

There were more than 3,500 soldiers in the left beard department. Riding dozens of people, except for the one or two hundred who escaped, the rest were killed or captured, not many were killed, less than 1,500 people, and many were captured, almost 2,800 people. Zhao Yun asked Xun Yu how to deal with these captives? Xun Yu replied without hesitation: "The thieves are defeated, and they should be guided by the government of Huairou, so that the county will ask for their lives." "When it is time to show grace, it is necessary to show grace with tenderness, and when it is time to punish with thunder, it will be punished with thunder, but the current ugliness needs the government of tenderness to expand its power.

Of the more than 30 wagons loaded with the capture, 10 of them were loaded with human heads.

The women and children in the field in the distance determined that the army horses on the road were county soldiers. Li Jin was lenient and benevolent, and had a good reputation in the local area, and after the rise of Montenegro, he tried his best to restrain the county soldiers, and the county soldiers rarely offended the people and did evil, so these women and children were not afraid of the county soldiers.

Seeing that the army was in a neat queue, the wagons were full of things that I don't know, and they were piled up like hills, as if they had just won the battle. They mustered up their courage and came up the field along the ridges of the field, and wanted to take a closer look.

Before she reached the side of the road, a sharp-eyed woman saw the contents of the cart clearly, and sat down on the ground in fright, and in horror, she did not forget the child, and pulled the child into her arms and covered the child's eyes. I saw a long line of wagons in front of me crashing into bloody heads. The heads of the people were scattered, and some of them still had black mountains with their foreheads on their heads, piled up in one place, filling the carts to the full, and the cracks in the cars were still dripping blood down, spilling all the way, terrifying and terrifying.

And I saw that the hundred and ten soldiers who were at the head of the procession were fierce and rude, and they were all holding heads or belts. This place is not far from Yuanshi County, and these women have seen county soldiers before. If it was terrifying, where could the county soldiers they had seen in the past compare to the one in front of them?

The countryside was already closed to news, and the women were not interested in the personnel changes in the county, and Wen Chou was a newcomer, but no one in these women knew that the lieutenant in the country had been replaced, let alone that this army was Wen Chou's department.

Xun Yu said to Zhao Yun: "There are many wolves and foxes in Changshan country, the twilight will be deep, it is too late, and most of the villagers return to their homes to avoid wild beasts, but these women are holding shovels and sickles and taking children to find food in the vast wilderness. Junqing, you can give them some food, and tell them that we are Wenjun's subordinates. ”

Xun Yu wants to make a name for Wen Chou, the head of the enemy can preach the power of Wen Chou, and give food to women and children can preach the benevolence of Wen Chou.

Zhao Yun nodded and promised, among the generals he led, Dong Zhi was the most dignified, so he immediately ordered Dong Zhi to go to the field to distribute grain.

Dong Zhi took some military rations, went to the field and said to these women: "Don't be afraid, we are the subordinates of Lieutenant Wenjun of Changshan, who just exterminated a group of remaining black mountain thieves in Mafu Mountain and captured more than 5,000 people. Pointing to the head of the car, "Those are the heads of thieves." He gave them the grain, and said with a gentle smile, "It's getting late, there are wolves in the wild, so hurry back inside." ”

These women thanked them a thousand times, took the food, and took the children to see Zhao Yun and the others go away, and then returned to their hometown. When I returned to the middle school, I inevitably had to go to someone I knew to tell me what I had just seen. (To be continued.) )
