Chapter 699: Returning the Favor
Li Xiuwen didn't give him any chance, and skillfully slashed Huang Daosen's neck with his sword, and Huang Daosen's neck immediately oozed a trace of blood.
"Since I want your life, let your men give up resistance and surrender quickly, or else bombard them all with cannons! Before they die, I will cut off your head and give it to Huang Fulai!" ”
"Heroes spare their lives, heroes spare their lives! I'll listen to you for everything, you put your sword down first! Huang Daosen wiped his neck, and after seeing the blood, tears of fright came out!
Li Xiuwen glanced at Huang Daosen with disdain, he didn't expect Li Inchuan to choose such a stupid and cowardly person to rebel with him, it was simply ridiculous!
"Why do I listen to you, whether your life is left in my decision now, unless all your soldiers surrender now, otherwise, don't want my sword to be lowered from your neck, now you follow me out and give orders, hurry up!"
Li Xiuwen was behind his back and kicked Huang Daosen's fat ass!
After Huang Daosen felt the coolness coming from Li Xiuwen's sword on his neck, he cried and shouted, "You ...... Hurry up and stop me, and put down all your weapons! ”
So, after hearing Huang Daosen's words, the soldiers who were already in turmoil by the sudden artillery bombardment hurriedly threw down everything in their hands and were embarrassed!
"Bang! Boom! ”
The sound of artillery fire in the distance was still roaring, and the artillery fire lit up the entire sky!
After Li Xiuwen saw that some soldiers threw down the weapons in their hands, he took down the sword that was hanging around Huang Daosen's neck. But he didn't let him go so quickly, and ordered the people around him to tie up Huang Daosen with ropes.
Huang Daosen asked in horror as he broke free from the rope with his fat body, "You...... Didn't you say spare my life? Why do you have to tie me with a rope now? ”
Li Xiuwen whispered in Huang Daosen's ear: "I said that I spared your life, but I didn't say that I didn't use a rope to tie you, and why did I just tie you with a rope, why are you so afraid?" ”
"I ...... I ......" Huang Daoson looked at the soldiers who had abandoned their weapons and surrendered looking at him in disappointment, and bowed his head in shame.
Li Xiuwen also saw the distrust and dislike of those officers and soldiers towards Huang Daosen, sneered, and then said to the people assigned to him by Fu Wenrui: "You all take good care of these prisoners, and then count the number of people, if any one dares to resist, correct the law on the spot!" ”
"Yes!" The soldiers of Zhang Wuzhou first began to pack up the weapons left by those prisoners, and then drove them together, waiting for Fu Wenrui to arrange the whereabouts of these prisoners!
At dawn, the breakout battle assisted by Li Xiuwen also came to an end. Capture more than 20,000 enemy troops and recapture two captured cities!
After the end of the war, Fu Wenrui came to the gathering place of the captured soldiers, intending to understand and show affection to them, so that they could become a sharp weapon to kill the rebels. This is also the result he wants to see the most!
Fu Wenrui spoke dryly for a long time, but although those soldiers had already surrendered and their eyes began to hesitate, none of them dared to say that they were willing to make meritorious service and atone for their sins.
While Fu Wenrui lectured the prisoners, Li Xiuwen had been observing the reactions of the soldiers. He always felt as if the captives were still under control. Flying Library
"Big brother, you can drink saliva and rest first! I have something to tell you. Li Xiuwen unscrewed the sheepskin water bag in his hand and handed it to Fu Wenrui's hand.
Fu Wenrui took the kettle and took a sip, sighed helplessly and said, "These soldiers are really stubborn!" ”
Fu Wenrui had to succeed in this matter, because if the more than 20,000 soldiers were taken prisoner, if they were not willing to go into battle, then he would have to leave some troops to guard these prisoners. Zhang Wuzhou originally only had more than 100,000 troops, and if there were any more people left to guard the prisoners, then there would be even fewer soldiers who could go to war!
Li Xiuwen thought for a while, and then whispered to Fu Wenrui: "When you were lecturing just now, I quietly rode a horse to look around among them, and I looked at their eyes, and I was sure that many people had been shaken. ”
"Oh, really? Then why don't you respond to my words yet? Fu Wenrui very much did not understand.
Li Xiuwen said what he had been thinking about just now: "In my opinion, it's not that they don't want to respond, but they can't respond!" If you think about it, Huang Daosen and Huang Fulai, plus Li Inchuan, they both have a close relationship. If these rebels and their top leaders are relatives......"
Fu Wenrui looked at some of the people around the soldiers who were not completely different from the soldiers' dresses and looked like some leaders, their eyes seemed to have been very firm, and he probably guessed the law of Li Renchuan's employment.
"Someone's coming!" Fu Wenrui handed the kettle in his hand to Li Xiuwen, and he had another idea in his heart.
"The minister is here!"
Fu Wenrui's lieutenant, Xie Rendong, immediately ran forward and arched his hands to obey the order.
"You bring someone to do this right away......" Fu Wenrui and Xie Rendong whispered.
After Xie Rendong heard this, he mobilized his men and began to find out those "alternative" prisoners that Fu Wenrui asked him to find from the rebel ranks, and found about 500 people in total!
When Xie Rendong took away the more than 500 people he had singled out, Fu Wenrui began another of his "patient persuasions", and he was very confident that he would definitely succeed this time.
Sure enough, things have improved, and some captives have expressed their willingness to make meritorious service and strive for leniency from the imperial court!
In fact, when Huang Fulai initially commanded Huang Daosen to start a rebellion, they were reluctant, thinking that even after the rebellion was successful, it would also leave a stigma.
But as ordinary soldiers, it is also helpless to follow Huang Daosen, and now that they have the opportunity to clear their charges, of course they are willing to regain their allegiance to the court and be upright.
Li Xiuwen saw that those captured soldiers, after the leaders who originally controlled their own will were taken away by Xie Rendong, they all made a petition oath, and he could be regarded as seeing what it means to be defeated!
Although these soldiers who had followed Huang Daosen had now surrendered and were willing to be loyal to the imperial court, Fu Wenrui still considered it very comprehensively, and he chose the method of "five with one" to bring those captured soldiers back to the battlefield.
The so-called "five belts and one" is that five of the original Zhangwuzhou soldiers took a soldier who had just surrendered to the battlefield to kill the enemy, so as not to rebel again when they were not determined.
Li Xiuwen watched Fu Wenrui arrange for Zhang Wuzhou's soldiers to take away the people they wanted to take away according to the proportion. I also agree with Fu Wenrui's approach! After all, they used to follow Huang Daosen, a general who was not successful and did not have a strong will, who knows if they will defect again after they encounter danger on the battlefield?
