Chapter 789: Blowing the Wind

Watching the heavy sailor go away under the "escort" of Bai Yubing, Xu Shu was speechless for a long time.

Whether the information provided by Wen Ping is enough to change the safety of the department is actually not important at all, the important thing is that the Jingzhou Navy Division corrected the posture of the defeated, which is the premise of letting them leave. If Wen Ping insisted on not saying anything, and tried in vain to use the Jingzhou government to force the deer leaders to make concessions, the result could only be that the deer leaders would fight with a small number of casualties to leave them all, and then publicly accuse the Jingzhou government of not changing its life.

When it really got to that point, Xu Shu had no other choice.

Because the lord has set the tone.

As a player, Yu Buzhi doesn't have so many scruples, Jingzhou Mansion is very awesome, much stronger than Ba County, so what? This is definitely not a valid reason for Jingzhou Mansion to attack the deer leader!

There is a huge disparity in strength, and if necessary, put aside the contradiction in a way that is acceptable to everyone, and the fish is not wise to agree, after all, the territory is the foundation of the lord, and it is definitely not a good thing for any opponent to be just on the road at any time. But it is a fact that Zhululing was attacked by Jingzhou sailors, even if Zhululing is allowed to temporarily maintain harmony with Jingzhou Mansion and accumulate strength first in order to report later, at least there must be a step that looks like that, even if it is only a symbolic step, it is also essential.

Concession is rational, and it is about survival.

The steps are bloody and related to the backbone.

This is the bottom line, not negotiable.

Fortunately, Wen Ping realized the seriousness of the problem, understood the unshakable will of the Zhulu Leader, for the lives of more than 3,000 soldiers in the headquarters, in order to avoid discrediting the Jingzhou Mansion and Jingzhou Mu, Wen Ping made the figure that the other party needed, and eliminated a massacre that could break out at any time.

Wen Ping's words confirmed some of the speculations of Zhulu Ling.

The herald is from Jingzhou Mansion, and he is also taking the official official document of the state government, and it is customary to confirm the order of the state government, and the execution of the document is to be carried out, so there is no need to ask. Wen Ping itself is the type that absolutely does not discount the military order, and he will not say more than half a sentence if he shouldn't ask, and he will abide by his duty as a general, although he was surprised to see the order, he still didn't say anything, ordered all the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and set off quietly.

Behind the siege, a familiar shadow can be vaguely seen: Xiangyang Cai.

The lord of Jingzhou is Liu Biao, but the specific military and political affairs are responsible for his own subordinates, and there are not many people who have the right to transfer troops. What's more, the person sent to send the order to Wen Ping was Cai Mao's confidant.

By this time, the situation was basically becoming clearer.

If Liu Biao didn't know about the Jingzhou Sailors' attack on Zhululing, most of the matter was done by Cai Mao, who took advantage of his position and position in Jingzhou Mansion to hide from the world and pass on military orders, so he had the move of Wen Ping to lead the sailors to enter Ba County privately.

The counterattack of the deer leader came too fast and fiercely, and it was pressed and beaten a moment ago, and completely capsized after a while, so that many alliance troops fell into the embarrassing situation of being completely captured and captured by the deer army before they came to their senses. The successive captures of prisoners of war once again prove that the Cai family is extremely involved.

The Cai family actually sent the family's private soldiers to participate in the war!

Under the friendly greetings, the small leaders of the captured Wuling Kou changed their minds one after another and admitted that they were entrusted by the Cai family!

Perhaps in Cai Mao's view, there are Avengers leading the way in front, and Cai's stabbing knives in the back, unknowingly, the loss is not large, the benefit is high, no matter how you look at it, it is a stable winning situation, it seems that you can take a hand, but as a result, stealing chickens does not become a loss, and you lose cleanly.

In the past, there was no direct evidence, and he knew that Cai Mao had a problem, but this time it was different, the Cai family's private soldiers and the small leader of Wuling Kou who were caught were human witnesses, and the heavy sailors led by Wen Ping were also human witnesses, even if Cai Mao had a lotus tongue, it was unlikely that he would let himself stay out of the matter. Not to mention the sneak attack on the player's territory by the powerful private soldiers, and it is still a territory in a different place, what kind of recovery will it face, I am afraid that Cai Mao's hands and tails in Jingzhou Mansion are not so easy to settle, "fake military orders" and "deception and concealment", at the big one, it can be copied and wiped out, and at the very small, at least the status is not guaranteed, enough for Cai Mao to drink a pot.

Yu Buzhi is in Wadao, and he has not had time to come back to officially hand over Ba County, once the rescue of the Qingjiao Dragon is over, he will ask the Jingzhou Mansion for an explanation as the lord of Zhulu and the Taishou of Ba County, and the Zhulu Leader is now willing to refrain from it, but the premise is that the Jingzhou Mansion must show a responsible attitude, if a reasonable explanation cannot be given, it is not impossible to break the sky, and it is impossible for Zhulu Ling to give up this opportunity to fight Cai's family.

Even if the official letter from the Bajun Taishou Mansion has not been issued for the time being, I believe that the Jingzhou Mansion will soon know about it.

The sailors of the Wenpin Headquarters were the elite of Jingzhou, and the losses in this battle exceeded 1,500 people, and the losses were difficult to hide. Even if the troops can think of a way to cover up the damage, how can they cover it if the siege equipment and naval ships are gone? In view of this, Xu Shu was not in a hurry to send a letter to Jingzhou Mansion, and put Cai Mao on the fire and roasted it slowly, which was good.

Huang Zhong looked at the back of Wen Ping, who was gradually moving away, and was speechless for a long time.

Not long after leaving Jingzhou, he was facing the former robe in the deer collar, and he took the initiative to ask for help, every time he thought of this link, Huang Zhong couldn't cry or laugh. Wen Ping never mentioned that he was shot by him and almost died, and even when he learned that Huang Xu's condition had improved, he sincerely expressed his blessings, which made Huang Zhong feel even more guilty.

With the departure of the Jingzhou Sailor, the battle for the deer leader came to an end.

The alliance army outside the city of Zhulu died, fled, and decisively chose to surrender if they didn't want to die and couldn't escape, especially when they saw the confrontation between the Jingzhou Navy Division and the Zhulu Army, there was no stubborn resistance, and the surrender of the alliance army was more refreshing.

The biggest obstacle to ending the war was the lack of manpower.

Bai Yu confronted the Jingzhou Navy Master throughout the whole process, and then was responsible for sending the Ministry of Civilian Affairs out of the country, and did not participate in the capture of prisoners; The tank battalion was basically crippled in the brutal siege of the city, and there were more than 200 people left, half of whom were seriously wounded, and Ma Yuanyi's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water; The rock battalion led by the masked "martial artist" is the main force to capture prisoners, and the white tiger Yicong is also very powerful on this occasion, but the battlefield discipline of the mercenaries can only be said to be improvised, and there is no problem with simple combat instructions, especially good at fixed-point attack and defense, and the weak forces that need close cooperation to capture prisoners, it is difficult to count on the white tiger Yicong who seems to be a bit strong, all kinds of foreign appearances, which makes people unbearable to look at directly,

As a last resort, Xu Shu asked Qu Chen to call him back.

The alliance army outside the main city collapsed, and the dependent territory will definitely run away after receiving the news, and with the strength of the affiliated territory, at most, it is to chase after the enemy's ass and take advantage of it as much as possible, and don't even think about getting more gains.

In this way, it is better to call Qu Chen back and integrate the mercenaries.

Qu Chen's prestige in the army is very high, and he has rich experience in commanding all arms of the army, needless to say the experience of the Rock Battalion and the Broken Cavalry, during the campaign against Dong Zhuo, Gan Ning was transferred to the war zone to fight, and Qu Chen was in charge of the Jiao Battalion for a while, and it is said that he also brought it with a good appearance.

If you want to pick a commander of all arms in the Zhulu Army, Xu Shu thinks that Qu Chen is the best candidate at present, maybe Qu Chen's level of leading infantry and naval divisions is not very high, but the quality of basic command is still very good, and it will not be long before you can assign a strange unit. Finding a unified method in a very short period of time, this kind of ability to command troops and adaptability should be a talent, and it is really not something that ordinary people can learn if they want to.

Qu Chen really didn't disappoint Xu Shu.

The biggest problem of Bai Huyi is what to do, the people are brave, there is nothing to attack and defend frontally, sometimes this kind of temperament is needed, and if it is used well, it is one after another, but the weak forces capture the prisoners, and Bai Huyi's approach from this style is simply like letting go of the door and letting the thief run away. After Qu Chen came back, he decisively stopped the White Tiger Yicong from running around, and arrested a group of Yicong backbones he knew, one backbone led a hundred mercenaries to guard their positions, and whoever dared to leave their posts without permission would be beaten, and after a while, the messy White Tiger Yicong barely had some order.

Perhaps the mercenaries did not capture much directly, but it greatly limited the space for the Alliance to escape, creating an opportunity for the Rock Battalion to calmly wipe out the remnants of the enemy.

With the assistance of the four thousand white tigers, the elimination of the remnants of the enemy is progressing smoothly.

Not long after the Jingzhou sailors left, the battle outside the city was completely over, and the prisoners were escorted into the temporarily built prisoner of war camp under the escort of the Zhulu army, and Bai Huyi happily received the siege equipment from the beginning.

Qu Chen and the masked "martial artist" jointly ascended to the top of the city and handed over orders to Xu Shu.

"Ah Chen, you take the rock camp to accompany me to Yuge Town." Xu Shu said to Qu Chen first.

Qu Chen paused, and then reacted: "Is there anyone over there who is not afraid of death?" ”

"That's not it," Xu Shu smiled indifferently: "It's Wuxi Man." The alliance army was defeated, Wuxi wanted to run, Zijun hung them with hundreds of rock battalions, we might as well meet them for a while. ”

Qu Chen looked thoughtful, and he didn't understand Xu Shu's approach to arresting Wuxi Man.

Wuxi Man is a mercenary, and he pays attention to taking money to do things.

Mercenaries have existed for a long time, even in the Han Dynasty, there has been a tradition of mercenaries fighting for a long time. According to the usual rules, after the battle is won or lost, whether they win or lose, the mercenaries have fulfilled their duties, and the next thing has nothing to do with them, unless there is a special reason, basically the winning side will not embarrass the mercenaries of the defeated side, which is a long-established mercenary protection rule.

In battlefield fighting, the surviving ones will inevitably have blood on their hands, and the same is true for mercenaries. I didn't know if I had just killed someone, but because the battle was over, the mercenary protection rules came into effect, and I believe that not many people could accept it when I watched the enemy leave. Therefore, the mercenary protection rules are only for the collective, not for the individual.

Personal enmity can be resolved by one's own ability.

If you can fight, no one will trouble you; If you can't beat it, no one will come out if you are killed by others.

This rule may not be reasonable, but the rule is the rule.

Rules that have survived for hundreds of years have their own reasons for survival.

Striking hard at the mercenaries of the defeated side for no reason will arouse the disgust of all mercenaries and even resist them. Be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future, after all, no one can say whether they will need mercenaries to help fight in the future.

The more powerful the mercenary, the more easily he cannot be offended.

Wuxi Man was relatively closed in previous years, and part-time mercenaries were a matter of recent years, and they were unknown in the mercenary world, but this force has been getting more and more attention recently. The reason is that Wuxi Barbarians are equivalent to a separate force due to their concentration and high degree of autonomy, and the Wuxi Barbarians are an alien force recognized by the system, and there was nothing before, after the second system update, the Wuxi Barbarians are level 60, which suddenly surpasses many veteran mercenary teams.

An emerging mercenary like Wuxi Man, which is large in number and strong in strength, should not be offended objectively speaking.

On the battlefield, each is its master, there is nothing to talk about fighting life and death, the problem is that now the victory and defeat have been divided, Wuxi Man is a mercenary on the defeated side, if the deer leader does not forgive, the result will inevitably cause public outrage. Not to mention anything else, even the territory-affiliated mercenary White Tiger Yisu, I'm afraid it is difficult to agree with that approach.

Xu Shu saw Qu Chenjian's eyebrows frowning slightly, how could he not guess what he was thinking.

"Don't worry, you won't embarrass them." Xu Shu said with a smile: "Meng Li, the mayor of Qingqiang Town, personally returned to the city to see me, saying that the two leaders of Wuxi Man are simple and righteous, and I plan to take this opportunity to meet them and make friends." ”

"That's right," Qu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "Why haven't they left yet?" The son can't stop them. ”

Xu Shu stroked his forehead and said: "They are afraid of water ......"

The alliance army broke and fled, and of course there was no need for Wuxi Man to continue to fight hard, so it was safe to leave quickly.

They didn't dare to retreat in the direction of the main battlefield in the north, and planned to cross the Hanshui original road to return to their hometown, but when they ran to Yuge Town, there was not a single boat in it, and they didn't know where the fishermen had driven it, which made Wuxi sit on wax. Without a boat, they can't cross the Han River, of course, they have the ability to coerce the fishermen to drive the boat back, but if they really want to do that, the Zhulu Army will definitely kill Wuxi without any scruples, absolutely without hesitation, and no one can say that the Zhulu Army is wrong.

The holding of civilians hostage is even more despicable than the indiscriminate killing of defeated mercenaries.

What's more, Wang Ping has been following behind with hundreds of rock battalions, thinking that it is to prevent Wuxi from coming in chaos.

In desperation, Wuxi Man squatted outside Yuge Town in a daze, at first Wuxi Man still wanted to wait for the Jingzhou Sailor, counting on the Jingzhou Sailor to carry them across the river, after all, the Sailor Warship was here. It's a pity that the Jingzhou Navy Division's warship was confiscated, and Wuximan's hopes were naturally disappointed.

Wang Ping and the Panshi Battalion were not connected to water warfare, and did not take over those warships.

Wuxi Man had the intention of "borrowing" the boat to get out, so Wuxi Man had been planning for a long time, luring the enemy, obstructing, and breaking off the rear arrangement, but someone asked "who will drive the boat", and the collective collapsed.

So Wuxi Man has been blowing the river wind near Yuge Town.

Qingqiang Town and Yuge Town are across the river, Meng Linian is more upright in Wuxi, saying that he will not fight Qingqiang Town, he has not messed up from beginning to end, and generously promised to invite him to drink after completing the task, Meng Li felt that the two people were not bad. Seeing that Wuxi Man was trapped on the north bank of the Han River, Meng Li felt compassion, and was worried that Xu Shu would not know the rules of mercenaries, so he would kill Wuxi Man, and specially took a small boat across the river to plead with Xu Shu.

Xu Shu didn't mean to embarrass Wuximan, considering that the Jingzhou warships were all moored on the bank of the Han River, he should go over to see the loot, and by the way, he had to nod his head to send Wuxi Man's gifts out of the country, so he decided to go over to meet Wuximan, sell the other party's personal favor, and by the way, see if he could ask for more information about the employer.

Release people and release people, Xu Shu felt that it was necessary to make Wuxi Man understand how wrong it was to be the enemy of the deer leader, and you dare to take this kind of work to fight the princes? Well, Yu Buzhi was not a prince at that time, but it was still appropriate to knock and knock the other party, so Xu Shu decided to take Qu Chen and Panshi Ying over and let Wuxi blow a lot of wind.

The masked martial artist arched his hand and said: "Military advisor, I am afraid it is not appropriate to stay for a long time in the next ......"

"Yes, you can go back first."

"Wait!"
