Chapter 430: Pharmacist Lu Zhengrong
Looking at the pharmacist's confident appearance, Lei Changye suddenly felt curious. To be honest, he also had a headache for the captured 80,000 Xihu soldiers. These Xihu soldiers are the elite of Xihu, and most of them are Gui Dongdai, who is a high-ranking member of the Xihu aristocracy, and it is possible to do it if they want them to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but it will take a period of training and digestion.
If you want them to follow Datang completely, I'm afraid it's wishful thinking.
Lei Changye felt that if he wanted to continue to advance rapidly and defeat the heat-phobic Gui Dongdai shooter and the Zampu four guards of Zampu Lao Wang in one go, he had to throw away the burden of 80,000 Xihu soldiers and advance lightly.
At this time, Lei Changye even considered letting Bai get up to deal with this group of captives. Anyway, he also has a hand in digging pits and burying people, and Xihu Bing will not lose when he encounters this treatment.
However, the Tang Dynasty is in a period of revival at the moment, and in the future, the Tang Dynasty in his mind will not be an armed empire that conquers all the feudal towns and foreign countries by force. Once this act of killing prisoners is made public, the feudal towns and future countries in the Western Regions will definitely fight to the death when they hear that the Tang soldiers are coming.
The most direct consequence of Bai Qikeng's captives in those years was that the great general Wang Jian destroyed Chu, Yan, Zhao, and Pinglingnan, all of which properly destroyed the country and achieved the unification of civilization. Qin Shi Huang did not kill all the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, but moved them to live in Xianyang, which was much stronger than the emperors of Zhu Yuanzhang and others in later generations. But the Qin Dynasty's reputation for brutality still spreads far and wide.
This is all the pot left by Bai Qi to Qin Shi Huang. For this, King Qin Zhao gave him death at the beginning, and he was not wronged.
If Lei Changye let Bai Qi do this again, Emperor Kaicheng's reputation would be stinky, and he might have to take the blame for Qiu Shiliang's indiscriminate killing of courtiers.
"What's the trick of Chengli?" Lei Changye hurriedly asked.
"This time, our army captured 80,000 Xihu soldiers, all of whom were abandoned under Xiao Pass by the fear of heat, and became the resentful soldiers of the palace for his escape. As long as the three generals are persuaded to be Shang Siluo, Shang Wanwen and Tuoba Huaiguang, so that they understand who they are burdened by, I think these three generals will inevitably have grievances and revenge. The pharmacist said in a deep voice.
"I'm not afraid of them and the chatter. But once the fear of heat is killed, these three people will inevitably lead their troops to return to the old king of Zampu again and oppose our Tang Dynasty. It is unrealistic to expect them to lose both sides of the battle with the fear of heat. Lei Changye shook his head slightly.
"That's the crux of my strategy. Shang Siluo and the other three are already at odds with the fear of heat, and we can use this as a starting point to make them believe that we are taking advantage of the contradictions between the top leaders of Xihu. But in fact, we can turn their 80,000 Hu soldiers into our Tang Dynasty's fortified warriors without realizing it. The medicine man's eyes narrowed.
He glanced at Bai Qi, and then turned his head sideways and said something to Lei Changye.
"Wonderful. After listening to it, Lei Changye was directly happy, and slapped the table hard, "How did I forget Chengli's lifelong learning." Without further ado, we'll act tonight. β
That night, 80,000 Xihu soldiers were driven by Bai Yinyi's army to a land with abundant water and grass in the Qingshui River valley, and forced them to make their own fires.
The 80,000 Xihu soldiers fled for several days, and the water and rice did not enter for two days and one night, and at this moment a fire was lit, which immediately stimulated their stomachs, and the sound of abdominal roar resounded through the heavens and the earth.
A few moments later, a group of attendants and men of the Flying Fish Lady came to the captives with cauldrons, water, bacon, and rice, and cooked the rice and steamed the rice, while taking out the smoked meat and roasting it over the fire.
After a while, the aroma of rice and meat permeated the entire Qingshui River Valley. The 80,000 Xihu soldiers were suddenly hungry and thirsty, and swallowed their saliva. Wait until the waiter and the man leave against the empty flat burden. This group of Xihu soldiers rushed over like beasts competing for food, grabbed rice with their hands, opened their mouths to bite the meat, and ate happily.
When he was thirsty, he took up the water bag left by the waiter and the servant, and drank it cleanly.
All of a sudden, the Xihu captives were dazzled and smiling, saliva was flying, laughter and laughter continued, and some people sang the pastoral songs of various ethnic groups when they were grazing, so unhappy.
Listening to the happy singing of the Xihu captives outside the window, Shang Siluo, Shang Wanwen and Tuoba Huaiguang, who were sitting in the main room of the ship on Lei Changye, all had mixed tastes. On the one hand, it was already a dream for them to be able to give the soldiers a good meal after such a fiasco. However, Lei Changye's request to them also made them helpless.
"Lord Lieutenant, I swear to him that we will not stand together between heaven and earth. Shang Wanwen said in a dumbfounded voice, "However, as the king's important general, if I want to return to the king's side, I should fight to the death with the strength of Xihu and the Baiyin Yi army." β
"General, this matter needs to be considered in the long run......" Shang Siluo hurriedly said.
"Yes, General, don't be rash at this time. Tuoba Glow also said anxiously.
"Three, the opportunity is fleeting, and when it comes to fleeing in the starry night, you should be dozens of miles away from Liangzhou at this moment to let your horses rest. I will give you 80,000 fast horses, and when the soldiers have eaten and drunk enough, and raise their whips and mount their horses, they will be just in time for the fear of the heat and go down in battle. It's just that if you hesitate here and miss the opportunity, when the time comes, you will flee into Liangzhou for fear of heat, and say in front of the four guards of Zampu, the three of you are afraid that you will take the blame for the defeat of Xiao Guan. Lei Changye said with a sneer.
"Lord Lieutenant, are you really assured to give us 80,000 fast horses to pursue the fear of heat, aren't you afraid that we will change our fortunes halfway?"
"You also said that you are not in harmony with the fear of heat, and the contradiction between you and him cannot be changed in a day or night. I dare say that even if I kill 60,000 of your elite soldiers, your hatred for me is not enough to talk about fever. Lei Changye shook his fan and said proudly.
"......," Shang Wanwen gritted her teeth with hatred.
"The opportunity for revenge is right in front of us. If you are stubborn, I can only hold you hostage on the ship of the Flying Fish Lady. Let General Tuoba accomplish this great work. Lei Changye said slowly.
"General!" Shang Siluo said anxiously, "This is the chance for the soldiers to live and hate, don't refuse lightly." β
"Jieshuai, I will never abandon you and be alone!" Tuoba Huaiguang said resolutely.
"Okay, I agree!" Shang Wanwan finally closed her eyes and nodded vigorously.
"Happy! So I'm looking forward to General Shang's performance. Lei Changye smiled slightly, "However, in order to keep you from defecting, don't blame me for holding Master Zhuling and the five hundred monks hostage." If you turn against you, these people will have to sacrifice to the heavens. β
"Don't touch Master Zhuling, he is Master Wanzang's beloved disciple, if he dies, Master Wanzang will come to take your head personally. Shang Wanwan said.
"He won't be the only Wanzang disciple I killed, Datang and Xihu have a deep feud in the sea of blood. Lei Changye said coldly.
Shang Wanwan lowered her head, not letting Lei Changye see the fierce light radiating from her eyes.
"Lieutenant, let's go and prepare the men at once. Shang Siluo was afraid that Shang Wanwen would not be convinced, and she would come out and cause trouble, so she hurriedly said.
"I wish the three generals success. Lei Changye stretched out his hand to see off the guest.
Shang Wanwen was the first to stand up and walked out without looking back. Shang Siluo and Tuoba Huaiguang hurriedly followed out.
When the three of them got off the boat, Shang Siluo caught up with Shang Wanwen and whispered: "General, you are a famous wise general in my court, why are you so obsessed just now, you almost made us unable to get out!"
"Prime Minister, I was just pretending to be a portrait, in the words of the Han people, this is selling straight. Shang Wanwen lowered her voice and said, "I want to make him feel that I have to accept his suggestion." So that he can feel at ease and let us do things. β
"The marshal is really acting! The subordinates feel as if the marshal has changed someone. Tuoba Huaiguang said happily.
"The Tang people think that we have a gap with the fear of heat, and they must think that we will rebel against Lao Wang. As everyone knows, what wants to rebel against Lao Wang the most is about fear of heat. He had long been self-respecting and wanted to rebel against the imperial court. This time he fled west, and it was also his poisonous plan to kill people with a knife. Fortunately, the Tang people are naΓ―ve and want us to kill each other, so we will take this opportunity to kill the theory of phobia. Shang Wanwen said viciously.
"But we waited for the Fear of Fever to be killed in the dark, wouldn't it be just right for Tang Bing to wait for work and capture us and the others?" Tuoba Huaiguang asked puzzled.
"I have secretly developed a lot of internal responses in the army of fear of heat, once I lead an army of 80,000 to catch up with the fear of heat, these internal should see that they are not protected, and they will inevitably betray the fear of heat, and his troops seem to be quite a lot, but in fact they can't compete with me at all, and they are enough to fight down. Wait until the killing is about fear of heat, our army will run west at full speed, and after more than ten miles will be Liangzhou, once you enter Liangzhou, no matter how powerful the Tang army's camel army is, it will not be able to climb the city wall!"
"The general is worthy of being the pillar of the country. "Shang Siluo is overjoyed.
Shang Wanwen and the two of them quickly came to the river valley where the Xihu people gathered. At this moment, all the Xihu army had already eaten their meals, holding the scimitars and war horses returned by Bai Yinyi, waiting for the arrival of the three of them.
"All mounted!" Shang Wanwen jumped onto her mount and shouted.
"Yayh
Shang Wanwen glanced at the open dark hatches on the Flying Fish Lady's ship, and then looked back at the array of camel cart troops lined up in the east of the camp, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Today, we will wait for a hundred miles to chase and kill the fear of heat, and we will teach these rebellious ministers and thieves to die without a place to be buried!"
"Kill and be afraid of heat! Revenge!" Tuoba Huaiguang galloped back and forth in front of the Xihu army, shouting loudly.
"Kill the fear of heat!"
"Kill the fear of heat!"
Eighty thousand Xihu soldiers mounted their horses one after another, whipped their horses and whips, and galloped towards the northwest where they fled for fear of heat.
In the wheelhouse of the Flying Fish Lady's ship, Lei Changye and the pharmacist stood side by side in front of the window, watching the tens of thousands of male soldiers under the ship rolling towards the northwest, and couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
"Shang Wanwen is cunning and cunning, and the performance just now is still a bit level. Lei Changye said with a smile.
"In my estimation, Shang Wanwen will inevitably step on the 60,000 army of fear of heat in this battle, and then quickly march straight into Liangzhou. The pharmacist said with a smile.
"When the time comes, it will depend on how Chengli takes Liangzhou. Lei Changye said with a smile.
