Wei Bagao sat in the tent, and several huge fish oil candles illuminated the big tent, but there was no smoke from the oil lamp. Not to mention those exquisitely made high tables and chairs, just these fish oil candles fully demonstrate the image of Wei Ba's wealthy local tyrant.

Wei Ba didn't like this nouveau riche posture, but Guan Feng, who was with the army, said he had to. If you talk with scholars like Lai Min and Liu Xi, you can arrange it more elegantly, with a bright moon and a clear breeze, a small bridge and flowing water, a cup of tea, a furnace of fragrance, a guqin on the case, and a thin crane in the court. But talking with these barbarian generals and playing with them is not good, these people will think that tea is not as fragrant as wine, that the piano is not as strong as the drums, that the cranes are too thin, and that the fat chickens are not as refreshing.

In a word, when dealing with these rough people, you have to be a local tyrant.

Wei Ba admitted that Guan Feng's suggestion was very practical, so he didn't like to be a local tyrant, so he could only be a local tyrant.

The generals gathered together, and when they looked at it, almost all of them were barbarians, and the rest were only Tang Qianyu, Zhu Yi and other Wei family tribes, Deng Yang was a famous man, and he was not used to sitting with these barbarians, but he also knew that showing contempt for barbarians on such occasions was tantamount to self-inflicted humiliation, so he could only sit silently on the side. Fortunately, he is not lonely, Yang Xi, Zhang Biao and others can't go with these barbarians, and a few scribes get together to warm each other, which is not bad.

The barbarians were very excited, and their voices were higher than the other, especially those generals who participated in the battle for the first time, and their eyebrows were dancing and spitting were flying. Most of them had fought with the Wu army before, and they were often driven around the mountains by the Wu army. This time, I followed the god general to fight, and in one battle, I wiped out five or six thousand Wu troops, surrounded Yiyang City, and trapped the prince of Wu State. I have long heard that Wei Shen will fight well, and today I have seen it. With such a god general, what other enemy is an opponent?

The people in the big tent were boiling, and the noise made Deng Yang and the others feel painful, so they could only turn their eyes to Wei Ba for help. I hope Wei Ba will start the meeting in time. Let these brutes stop and shut up those foul mouths with very heavy breath.

These barbarians are too picky, they are reluctant to rinse their mouths with green salt, and those who can rinse their mouths with water after drinking wine and eating meat are considered decent people. Dozens got together to brag. The spittle is enough to stink a cow.

"Uh-huh!" Wei Ba coughed lightly. The tent quickly fell silent. The barbarians returned to their seats, looking at Wei Ba with blank eyes, waiting for a new combat mission to be arranged.

Deng Yang and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. Keep arguing. The brain is really going to explode.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am very satisfied with today's battle." Wei Ba said unhurriedly: "Judging from the results of today's battle damage, your weekday training is very effective, and our army's casualties are much less than expected. Here, on behalf of the families of the soldiers, I would like to express my gratitude to all of you, one less casualty is to save a family, and you have made great contributions. ”

Wei Ba said, bowing and bowing. The barbarians didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned the courtesy. Most of them had studied the art of war in the academy for a few days, at least listening to Wei Ba's speech in the academy. Wei Ba attaches great importance to the proportion of casualties, he does not like those generals who ignore the lives of their soldiers and fight brutally, and encourages generals to use their brains more and create favorable conditions as much as possible to reduce casualties. Therefore, the training in ordinary times and the strict maintenance of weapons and equipment are things that the generals are very concerned about. At this moment, Wei Ba expressed his gratitude to them, which was the highest reward for their usual efforts.

"Second, I want to thank you on behalf of all the people. One less soldier is killed or wounded, and we have to pay one less pension, which does not fall from the sky, but is saved by every citizen. ”

Wei Ba bowed again. The barbarians returned the salute again, and at this time their faces were no longer arrogant just now, and they were a little more solemn. They are not from a big family, many people have to go to the field to cultivate after returning home from the army, and they know how much sweat goes into a dead soldier's pension.

Looking at the solemnity in the big tent like worship, Deng Yang secretly sighed. Wei Ba's words didn't necessarily make much sense, but they were in place, especially for these barbarian generals, it was simply about their psychology. Wei Ba's ability to integrate a group of barbarians into an elite division is not only related to his ability to use soldiers, but also inseparable from his ability to manipulate people's hearts. It is said that the Wei family father and son like Wu Zi's art of war, and Wei Ba probably learned this set from Wu Qi.

Wei Ba finished his speech and explained the current battle situation again. There were 40,000 Wu troops in Changsha, mainly distributed in two places, one was Yiyang and the other was Linxiang. Although Yiyang is surrounded now, Yiyang City is strong, and there are more than 10,000 Wu troops in it, and the crown prince Sun Deng is in the city, and it is not realistic to expect the Wu army to surrender without a fight. If you want to storm it, the price is not small. Therefore, Wei Ba decided not to attack Yiyang for the time being, but to first take the defense of the empty surrounding counties, and at the same time strengthen the public opinion offensive to hit the morale of the Wu army.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our mission this time is not for the purpose of capturing Yiyang and Linxiang, but to strive to seize the entire Changsha. Since there are heavy troops stationed in Yiyang and Linxiang, we will avoid the real and attack the weak, and take the other counties first, and before the Wu army reinforcements arrive, the larger the territory we occupy, the better. As long as we fight down, it will be ours, and if Sun Quan wants to take it back, it will depend on our faces. ”

Wei Ba haha smiled, and the barbarians also coaxed daxiao. Wei Ba waved his hand: "Wen Ran, you read the proposed haode text." ”

Yang Xi answered, stood up proudly, did not take the manuscript, and began to recite with his hands behind his back.

"Since the emperor's reign, the monarchs and ministers have been up and down, Zhang Hua has guided the people, and the punishment has been to prohibit violence. The saint comes out, establishes the name of the religion, and respects the ......"

As soon as he read two sentences, a barbarian raised his hand, Yang Xi looked at him a little unhappily, and frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

"Lord Yang, I don't understand what you just said."

Yang Xi rolled his eyes: "You can't understand such a simple text?" ”

The barbarian shrunk his neck: "I don't read much, I can only read and write military newspapers, what adults say, I don't teach it in the school." ”

Yang Xi muttered: "How did those guys teach, isn't this a misguided child." He pointed casually: "Do you understand?" ”

The brute he was pointing at shook his head.

Yang Xi frowned, pointed at another one, still didn't understand, and pointed to another one, still didn't understand. Yang Xi was a little anxious, turned to Wei Ba and said, "General, what can I do about this?" ”

Wei Ba said with a smile: "Wen Ran, your literary style, needless to say, is more than enough to write national history in the future." But here are all rough men in the army, how can I understand your crepe words? It's no problem for you to give this article to Sun Deng and Zhang Cheng to read, but it is indeed a bit too profound to read it to those ordinary people. Wen Ran, no matter how well you write this article, others can't understand it, so how can you understand your essence. ”

Yang Xi scratched his head: "That...... Shall I change it again? ”

"Hmm. After changing it, read it to the people around you after the change, if they can understand it, this text can be regarded as really easy to understand. Wei Ba said with a smile: "You must know that although Changsha is a famous and wealthy place in the south of the Yangtze River, there are still nine and a half of ten people who have never read a book. ”

The barbarians smirked. Although they couldn't understand the text written by Yang Xi, as Wei Ba said, in their township, it was a great thing to be able to read and write their own names, let alone read and write military newspapers.

Yang Xi was dumbfounded, if he wanted to write in a way that these barbarians could understand, what else would there be to write about it?

Wei Ba continued to encourage: "Wen Ran, this matter is so decided. You work hard, the person who prints the words is on call at any time, and when you print a batch, I will send someone out to send a batch, and within a few days, you will be famous in Changsha. ”

Yang Xi secretly complained to himself, his heart is notorious, I have grown so big, and I have never written such vulgar words.

Wei Ba did this, but there was no way. In the Central Plains, the opponent of the fight is the big family, it is the strong and strong, how many of those people have read, or there are literati at home, how many scholars are there in Jiangnan? It's really rare, if he wants to win over the people of Changsha, he can't just focus on those wealthy families who have read books, but should focus on the vast number of ordinary people. Most of those people are illiterate and don't write in plain language, who understands?

After arranging the affairs of the text, Wei Ba began to assign tasks again. In order to occupy as many areas as possible, it is not enough to have an easy-to-understand proclamation, but also to have the backing up of force. Sun Deng deployed the main force in Linxiang and Yiyang, which was not wrong, if the two sides were at war, it would be impossible to advance without taking one of the two cities first, otherwise it would be difficult to maintain food. However, the situation is different now, he has enough troops to besiege without attacking first, and free up his hands to take other counties with weak garrisons first, while Sun Quan can't draw more troops to counterattack. When he occupies the place and bargains with Sun Quan again, he will have enough bargaining chips.

I don't believe it, you won't even save your own son? Tiger poison doesn't eat children, even if you don't like Sun Deng anymore, you can't watch him trapped in Yiyang indifferent.

Wei Ba decided to lead 30,000 horses to personally sit in Yiyang and prevent Sun Deng from leaving the city, and the remaining 30,000 horses were divided into two roads, one led by the barbarian king Heisha and the other led by Flying Fox, and advanced northward. In order to prevent these two barbarians from developing their minds, Wei Ba arranged for Fa Miao and Zhang Biao to be their military advisors.

Black Sand and the Flying Fox were overjoyed and bowed down to receive the order.

Yang Xi stayed up all night, twisted off I don't know how many beards, and finally wrote an easy-to-understand, elegant and vulgar essay, Wei Ba read it, very happy, praised it greatly, and immediately handed it over to the printing for engraving. In the afternoon of the next day, the printing plate was completed, and the inscriptions exuding the fragrance of ink were printed, and then they were sent to the army of Heisha and Flying Fox, and distributed to all counties in Changsha...... (To be continued......)
