Chapter 138: Heart-punishing

"Your Majesty, the Xing Dynasty army has been trapped to death by the Feng Shui Array, our army only needs to send elites to guard a few exits of the Feng Shui Array, so that the main force of Daxing has no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground, do you immediately order encirclement and suppression?" Lu Bu camped, Chen Chongzhi came to Lu Bu excitedly.

"There's no hurry." Lu Bu sighed with emotion and looked at the group of advisers: "What do you think these soldiers should do with the rejuvenation of the country?" ”

"Your Majesty!" A strategist bowed down and said: "The trapped Xingguo soldiers are the main force of Xingguo, once it is destroyed, it will be difficult for Xingguo to fight against our army, the minister thinks...... When a war is destroyed, there shall be no mercy of a woman! ”

"No!" With the military etiquette department Shangshu out of the ranks, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that these soldiers of the Xingguo are the bargaining chips in the hands of our army, as far as the minister knows, in this army, there are not only the prince Dugu Ming, but also the general Wu Yong and other famous generals of the Xing Dynasty, behind these people is the entire Xing Dynasty power network, can be used to oppose the Xing Dynasty magnates, and at the same time, the elite family members of the Xingguo can also put pressure on the Xing Dynasty, and the minister thinks that this move is more meaningful than directly exterminating it." ”

"No!" On the side, the military department Shangshu frowned and said: "Your Majesty, this time our army invaded the Xing Dynasty, in fact, morally, our dynasty is not superior, if you want to succeed, you must quickly annihilate the Xing Dynasty, and then govern, the number of the main force of the thief army is not a lot, if our army goes to attack the capital of the Xing Dynasty, the main force of the Xing Dynasty will take the opportunity to break through, and there will be great hidden dangers to the logistics supply of our army." ”

To put it bluntly, from the moment the Han Dynasty invaded the Xing Dynasty, moral rationality has been missing, this kind of battle, the most effective way is to break through its court as quickly as possible, and then consider the problem of people's hearts, and once it falls into a stalemate, the slightest mistake will lead to the loss of the whole game.

Before Lu Bu lured the enemy deep although it was a plan, but the main force of the Xing Dynasty was able to quickly recover the lost territory, in essence, this is the result of the hearts of the people of the Xing Dynasty, if you only trap and do not kill, then the future variables will increase, but if you slaughter it, even if you break through the Xindu and destroy the Xing Dynasty court, the resentment of the Xing Dynasty will inevitably increase greatly in the future.

This is why Lu Xuan's side obviously has a huge advantage but has not officially attacked Dakang, if it is just to plunder, it doesn't matter, but if you want to win land and people, you must consider the problem of people's hearts after the capture, otherwise even if you win in the end, there will be all kinds of problems, and luck may not be recovered.

The key to the dispute between the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites is also here, the Ministry of War is considering the possible consequences of this next war, and the Ministry of Rites is considering the future cost of governance, both are correct, but the problem is that only one of these two benefits can be chosen.

Chose a quick battle and slaughtered this main force, the consequence is that after the Xing Dynasty is laid down in the future, the difficulty and cost of governance will increase geometrically, and if you choose the long-term, you have to face the current predicament, this main force will become the biggest destabilizing factor in this war.

"Your Majesty, our army has now attacked Yangguan, and it is only a stone's throw away from Xindu, so you have a plan, or you can try it." One of the advisors pondered.

When Lu Bu heard this, he bowed his head slightly, signaling him to rest.

"You can let this main army go back." The adviser's words, immediately let the tent Chinese Wu Qiqi frown, this Xing Dynasty main force, no matter which method LΓΌ Bu chooses, is the most important chip in the hands of the big Han, what is the operation of this initiative to give up the chips in his hand?

The strategist ignored everyone and continued: "For our army, it is a pity that this Xing Dynasty army is tasteless and abandoned, but if it can be turned into a hidden danger of the Great Xing Dynasty, it will be more beneficial to our army. ”

"Where did Mr. Ma start with this? These soldiers are the main force of the Xing Dynasty, how can they become a hidden danger of the Xing Dynasty? The military department Shangshu frowned.

"Rest easy, sir, and listen to the next word!" Mr. Ma took out a list and handed it to Lu Budao: "This is the list of the main forces of the enemy army collected by the shadows, in addition to the prince Dugu Ming, in this Daxing army, there are seven people in the first rank of the Daren clan or those who are close to each other, and there are three hundred and sixty-seven people in the second rank and the family members of the Daxing, these people almost include the entire Daxing magnates, if these magnates die in the hands of these soldiers, even if they are persecuted, will the magnates of the Daxing Dynasty not be blamed in the past?" Even if they are not guilty of the past, will these soldiers have any worries in their hearts? ”

"Our army does not kill these soldiers, it is for benevolence, there is only this elite left in the Daxing Dynasty, and it is impossible to make a move against this elite, but the estrangement in this heart is difficult to dissipate, the one who is killed will not, the one who kills will not, and even more willing to succeed in our dynasty to occupy Daxing, then these people will become a hidden danger in Daxing."

"In addition, you can say some words of persuasion to every general in the army who can go back."

"Their families are all in Daxing, and it is impossible for them to surrender because of this." The military department Shangshu frowned.

The Ministry of Rites on the side said thoughtfully: "There is no need to surrender, and you can't even let them surrender, let them all go back, there must be some people who will tell the truth, as long as this matter spreads, there are many lieutenant generals in this army who can go back, and if they don't say it, they will naturally be suspected." ”

He looked at Mr. Ma with a somewhat complicated gaze, it was simple to say, but what happened after the actual incident, I am afraid that these generals who went back were all in danger of themselves, and they were hostile and wary of each other, and even if these people reorganized into an army, I am afraid that they would be scattered.

But the success rate of this strategy is also high, because this thing can't be broken, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and the devil knows if there are real spies hidden in these generals, and even those generals who take the initiative to report will be suspected, plus there are many people, and they still have a certain status in the army, and this news is impossible to block.

"What do you think of this?" Lu Bu smiled, looked at the ministers and asked.

"I think this plan is feasible!" The secretary of the military department and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites hesitated for a moment and bowed down.

Let the main force of the Daxing Dynasty go back, the Daxing Dynasty not only has to take care of the food, but also dare not use it, and may even cause internal turmoil in the Xing Dynasty, which is much better than wasting energy to trap these people here, of course, the most important thing is that Lu Bu will not only not have infamy, but will even get the name of benevolence and righteousness, and these people who go back will most likely have many enemies of the Han Dynasty to supporters of the Han Dynasty.

"Then act according to the plan, Ma Qing, this matter will be handed over to you to be responsible!" Lu Bu looked at Mr. Ma and smiled.

"Command!" Mr. Ma bowed.

"After the rest of the departments are settled in this matter, they are ready to send troops" Lu Bu got up and looked at the generals and said, "Go and prepare." ”

"Your Ministers obey!" After all the generals bowed together, they went to prepare for this matter.

On the other side, Mr. Ma received Lu Bu's will, rushed to the feng shui array that day, and with the help of Chen Chongzhi, he ordered someone to send the news into the array, which was limited to one month, and as long as he carried the head of any of the generals on the list to the designated location within a month, he could let a hundred people leave.

"Mr. Ma, I'm afraid their grain and grass will run out in less than a month, right?" Chen Chongzhi looked at Mr. Ma puzzled.

"Half a month may not be enough." Mr. Ma stroked his beard and smiled: "But in this way, it will give people the illusion that there is still a lot of time, and I don't know if this feng shui array can trap this Xing Dynasty army, so they can't let them jump off the wall in a hurry." ”

"It is impossible for the Lord to not know that there is no food in the army." Chen Chongzhi was puzzled.

"This is good for them, it can help them stabilize the morale of the army, at least before the grain and grass are consumed, there is no need to worry about the soldiers mutiny due to lack of food, so they will help conceal it, of course, if this feng shui array is broken, it will not work, so whether this matter can be successful depends on the miraculous power of Mr." Mr. Ma said with a smile.

Chen Chongzhi didn't expect that this matter had something to do with him, and he suddenly felt a great increase in pressure, ordinary generals may not know the feng shui array, but it is impossible for the Dao Alliance not to know it, even if the trapped Dao Alliance people don't know about this feng shui array, they can communicate the sect, and their own feng shui array has not yet blocked the means of the communication talisman.

After hesitating for a long time, Chen Chongzhi went to see Lu Bu with some worry and informed Lu Bu of the matter.

"It doesn't matter." After hearing Chen Chongzhi's worries, Lu Bu smiled and said, "If the Dao Alliance comes and breaks Mr.'s feng shui array, this matter has nothing to do with Mr. ”

"Your Majesty, the generals on this list are at least the Seven-Rank Transformation Realm, plus there is the Dao Alliance, although there are many soldiers who rejuvenate the country, they may not be able to besiege and kill these generals." Chen Chongzhi was still not at ease.

"It's enough to make them think they did it." Lu Bu handed him a holy decree that had already been prepared and said, "The Ministry of Manpower and Soldiers will be dispatched, Mr. only needs to cooperate, and there is no need to worry about other things." ”

Chen Chongzhi took the holy decree and was a little stunned for a while.

"Go ahead."

"Yes!"

Ten days later, the feng shui array was in place.

"Your Highness, the mutinous sergeant has been suppressed." Wu Yong came to Dugu Ming's side, with an obvious decadence on his face.

Dugu Ming sat in the tent, slapped the table with some resentment and said: "These thieves are so vicious!" ”

"Your Highness, something is wrong!" While the two were talking, a general hurriedly came in and said with a nervous expression.

"What happened?"

"General Li Yi had his head cut off."

"How is that possible!?" Wu Yong lost his voice and said: "Li Yi is a six-rank martial artist, and there are a large number of guards around him, how can he be killed like this!?" ”

Six-grade martial arts, who are also counted in the army, how could they be silently chopped off by someone?

The general shook his head: "I don't know the specific situation, but General Li Yi's personal guard battalion is also missing." ”

Dugu Ming's eyes froze when he heard this, and Wu Yong also fell into silence, and after a long time, Dugu Ming got up and said, "Go and see." ”

"Your Highness, now that it has passed, I am afraid that it will be dangerous." Wu Yong hurriedly persuaded.

"Where is not dangerous in this strange array now?" Dugu Ming shook his head, he wanted to see for himself, how could a six-rank martial artist die silently?

At that moment, the group rushed to Li Yi's tent, and there were already several Dao League masters exploring a headless corpse outside the tent......
