Chapter 8: Supporting Mingtian
The message sent back by the messengers sent by the defenders of Tianyuan City was that they were safe, and he couldn't find the location of the Jin Yuan guerrilla for a while, so he could only increase patrols to ensure safety.
After ten days of peace and quiet, Meng Fan and Luo Jie Cheng saw that Lei Ming and the others did not disturb the people and governed the army well, so they thought about throwing Lei Ming. So the two of them found Lei Ming, who was discussing how to deal with the problem of Haotian Soldiers in the Righteous Hall.
When Lei Ming, Yang Tian, Luo Luotian and other generals saw Meng Fan and the two coming in, they all shut up and looked at the two of them. Meng Fan and the others were stared at, and the big man actually blushed with shame.
Meng Fan said: "Excuse me. After a pause, seeing that everyone was still staring at the two of them, he plucked up his courage, looked up at Lei Ming, who was sitting upright, and said firmly: "Today the two of us are here to officially surrender!
Lei Ming and Yang Tian looked at each other in surprise, and then Lei Ming said, "Okay! Luo Yangtian and the others also looked at Meng Fan and the others up and down to see if they were lying.
Meng Fan and the others were itchy from the crowd, so they moved two chairs from the wall and sat down.
Seeing that the two of them were seated, Lei Ming asked again: "General Meng, if the imprisoned Haotian Army is handed over to you, what will you do?" Everyone heard Lei Ming's question, and stared at Meng Fan even more carefully.
There was silence all over, and Meng Fan felt that the gaze cast was so heavy that he was about to breathe. Although these four thousand Haotian soldiers have not been in contact for a long time, and their feelings are not much, they are obviously too cruel to be executed like this. If it is released like this, it will be a return of the tiger to the mountain, and after the news is reported, they will make a comeback. What if I surrender? I'm a traitor now, and when they see me, they'll spurn me! Forget it, I'll try not to let them die in vain anyway, and I will have a little peace on my conscience.
Meng Fan thought for a while before raising his head and glancing at everyone, and said stubbornly: "If I can, I want to take them over, after all, they used to be my subordinates." ”
"Hmm. Lei Ming nodded approvingly, and continued, "The idea is quite good, but I wonder how sure General Dao Meng is that he can persuade them to surrender?" Lei Ming expected their rebellion, so they needed to discuss here.
"I ...... I'll do my best......" Meng Fan really couldn't hand over a perfect persuasion plan.
"General Lei must have had a plan in mind when he asked such a question. I don't know what General Lu Daolei has in his opinion?" Roger Cheng was a bystander, and he suddenly grasped the crux of the problem. Meng Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly looked up at Lei Ming.
Lei Ming smiled and said, "Jie Cheng still sees it quite thoroughly." Yes, we have discussed it just now and there has been a preliminary result, that is, surrender!" Lei Ming saw that Yang Tian was about to speak, so he said: "Yang Tian, you go on, I see that your interest is quite high." ”
"Hehe, just now we were talking about who to call to persuade Hao Shi this time, General Meng, you came. It's really sleepy and send pillows!" Yang Tian smiled, "Why don't I accompany you on a trip?"
Meng Fan was stunned when he heard it, it turned out that others had already dug the pit and waited for him, but he didn't want others to just finish digging, so he didn't need to use people's plans, so he jumped straight into the pit. He nodded stunned, and when he came back to his senses, there was Roger pacing in front of him.
"What about them?" Meng Fan couldn't help but ask.
"Ahh
"What about them?" Meng Fan didn't understand why he just lowered his head, and they disappeared, could it be a dream?
"Alas~, shame on people! Why did my uncle accept such an apprentice as you, and he was in a daze for an afternoon!" Roger became angry and nagged, "Look at the sun outside, it's about to go down!"
Only then did Meng Fan notice that the hall was not so bright, and turned his head to look at the sun, and it was really about to go down, and the clouds on the horizon began to redden.
Standing up suddenly, Meng Fan found that he seemed to have increased his strength, and he was overjoyed, so he tried to use his skills. Meng Fan frowned and muttered, "Aren't I in a dream?" Didn't Lei Ming seal my martial arts a long time ago?"
Roger was at the tip of his ear, and when he heard Meng Fan actually talking to himself that he was dreaming, he jumped up and shouted: "What? Are you dreaming? I have been with people for an afternoon, and you are still dreaming!"
"My martial arts have recovered. It seems that there is still a slight improvement......" Meng Fan said as he looked at his powerful hands.
Roger Cheng jumped in front of Meng Fan, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and said happily: "Really?! That's great! Help me unlock the ban!"
Meng Fan casually swept away Luo Jiecheng's eagle claws, making Luo Jiecheng stumble backwards, and he said embarrassedly to Luo Jiecheng, who was surprised: "I'm sorry, I used a lot of force." After saying that, he scratched his head.
"Oh~, maybe I'm in a dream, you can't be so powerful, just wave my hand and I'll go backwards......" Luo Jiecheng was surprised by Meng Fan's strength.
"That's your internal force being sealed. Meng Fan understood it in his heart.
"Then help me untie it, I'm stunned!" Roger became angry, this senior brother who picked it up is really unreliable, and he won't hurry up to untie it for him if he recovers his martial arts.
Meng Fan immediately got up and walked around Luo Jiecheng, and according to his own way of unblocking, he used his skills to get through Luo Jiecheng. Roger Cheng closed himself to enjoy the feeling of being slightly sour everywhere on his body, imagining the beauty of his martial arts improvement......
After a while, Meng Fan finished his work, sat back in his chair and looked at Luo Jiecheng with satisfaction, and asked, "How is the recovery of the test skills?"
The idea is plump, and the reality is skinny. Roger Cheng lifted his qi and drove back and forth, and found that the qi he lifted sank into the sea after a while and disappeared. I tried this twice, but both failed. So, he looked at Meng Fan suspiciously and asked, "Senior Brother Meng, you can't deliberately fix me, right?
"It's impossible! This is what the master taught......" Meng Fan was surprised, and then said, "Could it be that the Thundering Forbidden Law will go?" I remember that he ordered those acupoints. ”
Luo Jiecheng recalled it for a while, and found that Meng Fan also ordered the method of solving those acupoints, but he didn't solve it, could it be that the power of Lei Ming was so deep that it was so terrifying? Fortunately, he didn't kill us. Roger couldn't help but be afraid.
"Forget it, it will naturally be untied when the time comes. Luo Jiecheng sighed, and at the same time wondered why Meng Fan's would untie it by himself, and secretly said that he was unlucky.
Meng Fan felt guilty about not being able to unlock Luo Jiecheng's acupoint, and at the same time felt that his acupoint was a little inexplicable, and sat in a daze: Is it really in a dream?
At this time, a Jin Yuan soldier came in and asked the two to eat, and only then did Meng Fan notice that it was already dark.
When they came to another hall for dinner, Meng Fan and the others met the main generals. After the meal, Meng Fan pleaded to Lei Ming: "General Lei, the ban of the last general has been lifted, please also lift it for Luo Jiecheng." ”
"Oh, can you untie it yourself?" Lei Ming was surprised, and then congratulated, "Then congratulations to General Meng's martial arts for improving again." After speaking, he looked at Luo Jiecheng, only to see a bitter look on his face, it seems that the sealing of martial arts has a great impact on him.
Lei Ming thought for a moment and said, "Luo ...... Jie Cheng, if you want me to unlock your ban, you can persuade Haotianbing to do more tomorrow. ”
"Oh, I'll do my best. After Luo Jiecheng finished speaking, he sighed lightly, he was still worried that Lei Ming had something else to make it difficult for him, but fortunately it was just an internal matter.
After breakfast in the early morning, Meng Fan and Luo Jiecheng went to work to persuade them to surrender one by one. When they came to the first detention point, they saw more than 200 Haotian soldiers squatting in an open space wearing shackles to eat breakfast, which was considered to be preferential treatment for prisoners.
Entering the center of the field, the Haotian soldiers gradually noticed that it was their own general who came in, slowly stopped the rhythm of eating, looked up at Meng Fan, and was surprised that Meng Fan was not killed, did not need to wear shackles, and also had the expectation of finding the backbone......
Meng Fan looked at the complicated eyes of the soldiers, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but if he didn't do anything, he was afraid that these people would disappear. Meng Fan took a big breath, straightened his chest, and raised his voice: "Brothers, Meng Fan is ashamed!" After speaking, he bowed his head and bowed to the crowded place, and did not stand up straight for a long time, and raised his head.
"General Meng, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and as long as you live, there is hope. Seeing that the general apologized to them, the soldiers who supported Meng Fan immediately comforted.
"General Meng, I thought you were gone. It's good that you're here, everyone has something to rely on. With your martial arts and talents, it is still very promising to lead us to a fight. Someone excitedly expressed the joy and hope in his heart.
"General Meng, you don't have to wear leg irons, don't you ......" Some people speculated that Meng Fan had defected to the enemy.
......
Opinions differ, voices getting louder and louder. Jin Yuanbing, who was standing on the side with a gun, was reluctant, and shouted: "What is the noise! Wherever his gaze swept, he was silent, and after a while, the audience fell silent.
Meng Fan didn't know when Lu Dao raised his head, he raised his voice and asked: "Brothers, please think about it carefully, what is the difference between us and Jin Yuanbing, what is the difference in what we say, and what is the difference in habits?"
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they all feel a little inexplicable. After a while, someone compared it according to Meng Fan's prompt, and then said in surprise: "Alas, it seems to be the same." Then many more came to the conclusion that it was the same.
When Meng Fan heard that many of the noisy Haotian soldiers said the same, his heart suddenly settled a little, and he was worried that Lei Ming's method of whispering to him would not work. Then, Meng Fan said: "Did Jin Yuanbing kill anyone when he saw it, and have a deep hatred for you?"
The subsequent questioning quickly came to a conclusion, no.
Meng Fan said again: "That means that Jin Yuanbing is no different from Haotian. ”
"Yes!" the soldiers replied in unison.
"That being the case, then there is nothing wrong with us coming down. Meng Fan paused, leaving some time for them to digest this heavy news, and then said, "Meng Fan has been voted under the names of Lei Ming and General Yang Tian, I don't know how you choose?"
After hesitating for a moment, some Haotian soldiers who blindly believed in the leader shouted: "Swear to follow the general!"
After shouting a few words, the blindly obedient Haotian soldiers also shouted, and their voices became louder and louder. Because those who can be captured are not hard bones, they are all "smart people".
Meng Fan listened to the shout, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, it seemed that his reputation was still there. Luo Jiecheng, who was standing behind him, was also full of smiles, and he had half succeeded in unsealing martial arts.
Subsequently, Meng Fan selected a few people who were more eloquent to come out and go to other detention points with him to carry out ideological work, and in just one morning, he persuaded all the soldiers, at least they surrendered in their mouths, and they didn't know what to do in their hearts.
It took another afternoon to mix these troops into more than 10,000 troops.
