Time never waits, opportunities are fleeting, and if you miss it, you will lose it.

The first two days of the siege of the Zhengyi Wang Division were the best time to break out, and the further it dragged back, the more difficult it was to break through.

Now the dense forest surrounding the Dongyi army has laid layers of traps and barricades, let alone people, even if the wild boar strays into this place, it will be shot into a sieve by various traps and bows and crossbows in a moment.

With Di Xin's return to the camp, countless prisoners and heads were brought into the camp, all of which showed the glorious achievements brought by the great king's personal expedition.

Countless burned prisoners of war were brought back to the main camp for treatment, and the entire barracks began to get busy.

Burns are not terrible, what is terrible is that burns are not as small as sword wounds, once hit, the area is very large, and the infection of large wounds, at this time at the level of medical care, is basically declared dead, unless it can become the existence of a soldier with vigorous qi and blood, and his own healing ability is amazing.

Jiang Wenhuan hated Meng Wei very much, not only because he was provoked to wipe his face during the deliberations that day, but also because of a young man's competitive state of mind.

When you outweigh others by just a little bit, it often triggers feelings of jealousy. However, if our achievements are more prominent, so that they far surpass others, then we often get envy.

And if, in the eyes of others, what you have done has become legendary, primitive worship will arise.

At this time, Jiang Wenhuan, who still seemed a little simple, could be regarded as completely taking this young general into account after he saw Meng Wei and communicated.

With the acquiescence of his father, the wise and martial Meng Jibo had two more small followers behind him, Jiang Wenhuan and Yin Jiao, who was shouting to go out of battle.

"Uncle Ji, these people are barbarians, they are valuable medicinal materials, you actually use medicine to save these barbarians? Wouldn't it be good to leave them to fend for themselves? They live, but they have to waste the hard-won rations of our army. ”

Jiang Wenhuan offered sincere advice, and his consideration was basically what most people thought.

Burn medicine is made, in addition to Coptis chinensis, cork, gardenia and other medicinal materials, but also need sesame oil supplementation, in order to make a paste and evenly spread.

In the eyes of many nobles, these rotten people have been abolished, rather than spending a lot of real money to save these useless people, it is better to kill them all, and sacrifice the heroic souls of Cangtian and Donglu who have died in battle for a hundred years.

Slaves are a good thing, but when there is a population that is not easy to digest, reselling as slaves can solve most of the problems, but it is not applicable at all times, the current big merchants are not short of slaves, and what is a little lacking is a good family, and when Meng Wei first joined the army, his identity is as innocent as when he first joined the army.

"Those who convince others with their strength are not convinced, and they are not supported by their strength; Those who convince people with morality, the center is happy and sincere! ”

"Wen Huan, Dongyi and Donglu have had a long history of grievances, try it and ask, if Donglu occupies the land of Dongyi in the future, those people living in the land of Dongyi, do you advocate killing them all, or do you want to turn them into the people of Donglu?"

Jiang Wenhuan said undeniably: "Of course, it is to become the people of Donglu, and there are millions of Dongyi people, not to mention millions of people, and millions of people are killed...... Who in the world dares to do such a thing that loses the conscience of heaven? ”

As soon as he said this, Jiang Huan Chu's face immediately turned red, he slowly came back to his senses, and understood what Meng Wei meant, it is a moral problem to hurt the heavens and peace, and the root of occupying the land is to maintain construction and plunder the population.

Meng Wei pointed to the Dongyi soldiers in the wounded camp who were ashamed and grateful, and did not look at Jiang Wenhuan, but stared at Yin Jiao and said in a deep voice.

"The way to govern the country, when you think about people's minds, both of you are the people who will be in charge of the party in the future, you should understand a truth, it is easy to make others hate you, and it is difficult to make others agree with you. That is, it is difficult to win the hearts of the people, and it is easy to lose the hearts of the people. ”

"The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light; And taste it, the monarch, the boat also: the one who is a gentleman, the water also. The water can carry the boat, or it can overturn the boat, and you think about the danger in this way, and the danger will not come! ”

Meng Jibo's words were like a brilliant heavenly sound, shocking Jiang Wenhuan's three views, Yin Jiao was still young, but he didn't know the true meaning, but secretly kept this in his heart.

"Meng Jibo laughed, the world is the world of the king, Donglu is the Donglu of my Jiang family, without us, there would be no current pattern of the world, a group of muddy people, how to overturn the boat? Haha, please forgive Wenhuan for not agreeing! ”

Meng Wei is not interested in arguing too much with Jiang Wenhuan, arguing with others about the issue of values is the most stupid behavior, unless his realm is far beyond his own.

He only needs to plant a small seed in Yin Jiao's heart, and it is enough.

"Dongyi is difficult to destroy, it lies in feud, it lies in survival, and if hatred is not resolved, even if they occupy their cities, their territory, one day there will be a time to rebel."

There are only a few people who can cherish their homeland and want to restore their country, and the pressure of blind violence is actually the logic that most people think of and prioritize when they encounter problems.

Just like the sentence that although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu, to solve the bottom problems of the people, the nobles of the six countries are rootless duckweed, and the slogan of shouting glory and ancestral inheritance is far worse than a princely general Xiangning! Straight to the point.

Yin Jiao asked ignorantly, "Uncle Ji, are you going to let them go back?" ”

"Silly boy, let them go back, didn't I fight in vain? When they return to their possessions, they will inevitably not raise their arms again and stand at the next pass to resist our attack again. ”

Meng Wei didn't have the time and energy to learn from the Marquis of Wu to Meng Shu, and there was still a big difference between Dongyi and Nanban.

"And what do you do with these people?"

"If you migrate to northern Xinjiang, if you continue to stay in your homeland, your friends are connected, and you will inevitably start up again. I see, Jizhou is a good place! ”

Meng Wei looked at the bustling merchants in the wounded barracks, and was a little hesitant in his heart, relying on the official to do his own thing, in fact, the pace was a little too slow.

Like the mercenaries and bounty hunters, he would like to open up the policy of dividing up new lands, so that savages and aliens can acquire land in war-torn places such as Jizhou and Beihai to fill the population gap.

However, this idea was just remembered, and he immediately vetoed it, which is contrary to the outline of the law change, and if the population is equated with the value, the consequences are unimaginable, Meng Wei never underestimated the evil thoughts in human nature, sometimes the princes eat people, faster, more efficient, and the means will be more ruthless.

At this moment, Dai Li trotted all the way and said loudly: "Lord, there is a person from Birdyi outside the camp who asks to see him, claiming to be the general of the defeated army of Honghe, and has come to surrender!" ”

"Oh?" Meng Wei had some impressions of this person, and when he saw that someone was around, it was this person who broke his wrist decisively, otherwise if he was replaced by those old opponents in the past, he should have been able to eat that blocking legion at that time.

Dai Li brought the person here, Meng Wei looked up and down carefully, this person was wearing a sackcloth robe, and he could smell a faint smell of blood and ointment when he was resting on his clothes.

"In Xia Xu Mu, I have seen Meng Jibo!"

There was a sonorous and powerful force in this person's conversation, Meng Wei smiled and stepped forward to help the young general, and asked teasingly.

"General Xu used to block our army in the Honghe, and Meng was admired by his decisiveness, I don't know why the general came to vote with scars?"

Xu Mu was not angry, and replied self-deprecatingly: "Thanks to Uncle Ji, a big defeat, a letter, Dongyi has no place for Xu!" ”

"Hahaha, don't blame General Xu, it's all because General Xu withdrew too decisively that day."

"Yes, what Ji Bo is trying to do is to annihilate the Dongyi army, Xu Mou, a person who smears oil on the soles of his feet when he sees that the situation is not good, will naturally affect your plans, in other words, I will also try my best to eliminate hidden dangers, but I didn't expect Ji Bo's good means, retribution came so quickly, and a smeared letter made Xu speechless!"

Meng Wei is very happy, it is also a very happy thing for his mind to be perceived and comprehended, otherwise he has done so many details, but no one appreciates it, what a boring thing it would be.

Of course, Yang Xiu's kind of chicken ribs are exceptions, no one will like anyone who sees through it and doesn't say it, and pokes the boss's lung tubes.

"Then General Xu is going to abandon the darkness and turn to the light?"

Xu Mu knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "Xu Mu is grateful for Uncle Ji's grace of not killing, he can give me the opportunity to reform and start over, your clear path has been shown, if Xu Mu misses it, he will definitely die!" ”

"Oh? Why did General Xu say that he would definitely die? ”

"There is a slang saying in Dongyi, barking dogs don't bite, they must be killed before biting. This is not an insult to Your Excellency, Xu Mu followed his father to hunt in his early years, and his father often said that whenever a hunter enters the mountain, the whole mountain forest is quiet, so the hunter will make a threat, and wait until snakes, insects, rats, ants and various prey show their shape, and they will know the direction of hunting. ”

"I think that hunting and marching have the same end, and the suspicious array of Jibo is to make the Dongyi army panic and hide their true intentions, if you don't wake up with the hand of the King of Huaiyi, the people who are surrounded by you in the camp at this moment should have Xu Mu."

Meng Wei clasped his hands and clapped constantly, this son is smart, and like Zhong Ji, he is also a talent that can be cultivated.

"In that case, then stay in the tent and obey orders? It's just that you haven't made an inch of merit now, and Meng is not easy to appoint directly, so you can only aggrieve Mr. first as a staff member. ”

Xu Mu was overjoyed: "The lord is driven, Xu Mu doesn't dare to disobey!" ”

But seeing the wind rolling and the rustling of the woods, compared with the relaxed and comfortable Wang Shi battalion, the Dongyi army was fully manned, and under the leadership of Li Wu, the king of Huaiyi, launched an offensive on the way back to the east.

I didn't think about leaving the camp before, because the soldiers were wide and could compete with Dashang and Donglu, but now I want to go out of the camp, but I will lose the soldiers and lose the generals, the morale is low, and the enemy army has become encircled.

The first to open the road to the battle is the other tribes who dare to die, since ancient times Jiangdong has many talents, the Yi people on both sides of the Huaishui River have never lacked warriors who dare to use their lives, otherwise it is not enough to support the two overlords to start from this.

Meng Wei never despises anyone, maybe this is a kind of caution that comes from his bones, whether it is Beihai, or the current Dongyi, whether it is a nobleman or a Qianshou, they can leave a mark in the long river of history, there must be something unique about him, especially, this is a world with myths.

The heroic charge sounded the clarion call for a great battle.

Li Wu put on a green armor, and surrounded by elite Huaiyi armor soldiers, led the charge and engaged Lu Renjie, who cut off the east gate.

The troops allocated to Lu Renjie are the most elite armor soldiers of Dashang, the old general is holding a gilt bronze hammer and standing under the Chinese army, holding a white beard, indifferently watching this group of barbarians fighting to the death, before the expedition he was suspicious of the general Jibo, but now, he admires it to the extreme, and such a person who can estimate people's hearts as teammates, it is indeed a lot more comfortable for people to fight, it is no wonder that the king trusts Jibo.

Lu Renjie pointed to the Dongyi army that was surging out and had a high will to survive and roared: "Don't retreat, let the king be the vanguard, it's a shame for us to be born as ministers, withstand it!" Reinforcements are coming, besiege them! ”

The cyan torrent is like a rapidly surging bison, crashing headlong on the silver and white iron wall that is waiting for the battle, becoming a mountain forest, defeating a mountain forest, presetting in advance to reject the horse and the deer are buried deep in the ground, and the three-meter-long bamboo spear is designed to break through the weak leather armor.

Under the bloodshed, the warriors of Huaiyi roared angrily and used their bodies to cushion the fortifications and turn them into meat pads, giving their comrades a chance to continue to move forward.

Li Wu was resentful and angry in his heart, under the crisis of life and death, he did not dare to use the warriors of other clans to break the first formation, just like when Meng Wei was under Qingyang Pass in the past, it takes great courage to fall into battle, and he is not afraid of death.

"Eight rituals of Qi and earth, give me divine powers, the king of Huaishui, borrow my divine power!!"

Suddenly, a stream of silver horses fell from the sky, covering the surface of the three thousand Huaiyi bodies with layers of silver light.

And Li Wu also incarnated as a demon god with three heads and six arms, and the image of the demon god with horns on the first born is just a pair of wind and thunder wings, which can perfectly reproduce the majestic image of the former soldier master Chiyou.

Just take a closer look, but it is far from the master of the soldiers, Li Wu's body surface quickly grew blue-black hair, and after a while, he looked like an ape with a hairy face and a thunder mouth, holding a wind and thunder stick, and the wind and thunder surged under the stick, and the middle one flew directly into the sky, and blood spilled in the sky.

Looking at the crazy attack, Lu Renjie was not annoyed, but showed a contemptuous smile, as if he was laughing at the "wild man" for his indiscretion.

"Order, get out of the way, let them pass."

"After elongating the enemy's army, listen to my orders and cut off the middle."

Today there is only one watch, I am unwell, and I am still in a cold and fever, so I will keep a good time. Normal weekends!
