Shen Leng ordered his 26,000 sailors to play the banner of 10,000 soldiers, and then without the slightest scruples, he marched towards the northwest openly, and on the way, Shen Leng did not carry out the military order that all men should be killed, because it was not yet time, he had to release another signal first.

Everyone knows what this military order means, this is to slaughter the clan, after all the men are killed, no matter how big or small, how long can the Bohai people exist?

"If you can't convince the crowd with grace, then learn from the black warriors, which is more ruthless than the black warriors, the Bohai people's fear of the black warriors comes from the good killing of the black warriors, then I will also kill once, and there will be no male in the Bohai Sea."

There is no difference in killing, this is Shen Leng's most angry since the army went out, and before, in Chang'an City, when a group of cabinet adults discussed how to formulate a strategy for the situation in Bohai Road, they also specially invited Shen Leng to go, Shen Leng was more just listening to those cabinet adults discuss, a large number of people think that as long as the court gives enough gifts, so that the Bohai people feel the benevolence of His Majesty, then sooner or later they will be naturalized, one of the cabinet assistants said, give it power, serve the people for a while, Give him grace and serve the public, at that time, Shen Leng only said one sentence to see who it is, and was criticized by the second assistant lord for a few words, the second assistant said that as long as it is a human being, there is a sense of gratitude, Shen Leng is not willing to explain anything, and the cabinet adults who have not faced the cruelty and ugliness of human nature, they don't understand and don't believe that people are really different sometimes.

Shen Leng's words were few that time, and he only added some to the strategy formulated by the cabinet, and there was no more to talk about, and it was useless to talk about it.

In the next two years, the imperial court increased its support for the Bohai Province, and ordered the transportation of grain from Liaobei Province and Lianshan Road to help the victims of Bohai Province.

Bohai people are very strange, if you are good to him, he thinks that you are scolding him, whether you are better than him or you are better than him, as long as you are good to him, he will feel that you are scolding him and want to use him, and if you beat him, he will be respectful next time he sees you, and he will not even dare to scold behind his back.

Shen Leng said this, and some of the cabinet adults did not believe it.

Later, Yan Kaisong in Bohai wrote to the court and said that the grain seeds issued to the Bohai people were eaten by them, and they would not follow the strategy formulated by the court at all, if you let them grow grain, they would think that the Ning army was short of food and even imagined that this was Ningguo's failure, and they needed to grow grain, otherwise the Ningren would starve to death on a large scale, so they ate all the grain seeds, and then reached out to the garrison to ask for it, and gave it back to eat, but they refused to plant, they thought that as long as they didn't grow food, Ningguo would not be able to persevere. Maybe Ning Guo has already been mourning and starving.

This nation is the most incomprehensible nation in the bones that Shen Leng has ever seen, and its evil is far above the black warriors, if the Bohai people are given the national strength of the black warriors, God knows what they can do.

This is not a fantasy, they really think that Ning Guo can't do without them.

Yan Kaisong couldn't go against the strategy formulated by the imperial court, and changed from suppression at the beginning to appeasement, which made the Bohai people think that Ning Guo was really not good, and they began to curry favor with them.

After Yan Kaisong wrote the letter, the cabinet discussed it overnight, and Lai Cheng decided to cut off the grain supply to Bohai Province, which has to be said to have caused this popular uprising.

After cutting off the food supply to the Bohai Province,

The life of the Bohai people has become difficult again, in the past two years, they have not planted food, and the Daning garrison will distribute it, so whoever still grows, some can eat, and every family has no surplus food, and after the supply is cut off, every family has no food, these people have become irritable and even rampant, and they actually gather people to demonstrate outside the yamen of various government offices.

There is a large scale of Tuntian in the northern part of Bohai Road, which is one of the grain producing areas in the north of Bohai Road, there are tens of thousands of Bohai grain soldiers, only hundreds of Daning soldiers are stationed, Daning's garrison in Bohai Road is only more than 10,000 people, the initial strategy is to take Daning soldiers as the mainstay, supplemented by the new army of Bohai Road, as a result, the first thing to reverse in Tuntian is the new army grain soldiers, these people designed to slaughter hundreds of soldiers in Daning, snatched weapons and military armor, and then disguised the team to deliver grain to deceive the border gate and let the black army enter the country.

Shen Leng led the team all the way to look all the way, and the more he saw, the heavier Shen Leng's anger became.

There are more than a dozen wooden shelves standing on the side of the official road in front, and there are corpses hanging on them that have been dead for many days, which are the soldiers of the Ning army who have been scattered, the clothes on their bodies have been pulled off, their stomachs have been cut, and their bodies are full of holes, everyone is like this, it can be seen how cruel torture they suffered before their deaths.

And it was not the black warriors who tortured them, it was the Bohai people.

The soldiers stepped forward to take the bodies down from the wooden frame, and when they looked at the corpses, everyone's eyes were a little red.

"Ahead is Gaotang City."

Xin Jigong looked at the map and said, "There are about thirty miles left, and there are a total of thirty-four villages under the rule of Gaotang City, and there are probably more than 70,000 people in total. ”

Shen Leng turned around and ordered, "Ride a thousand forward, go to Gaotang City to inform their county guard, gather all the people of the thirty-four villages outside the city, and say that I will distribute food and weapons, and let them assist the army in resisting the black warriors." ”

Xin Jigong immediately responded, "I'll take someone with me." ”

Shen Leng nodded, "I will rest here for two days, and then go outside Gaotang City in two days." ”

Xin Jigong took the order and led a thousand light horsemen forward.

Shen Leng watched the soldiers bury the corpses, he squatted in front of the newly raised graves one by one, stretched out his hand, so a soldier handed over a pot of wine, Shen Leng spilled the wine in front of the grave, did not speak, after a long time Shen Leng got up and patted his hand on the grave bag in front of him.

Two days later, a large number of Bohai people really gathered outside Gaotang City, and they waited eagerly, one by one elated.

"See, those Ning people have no confidence."

"That's right, when the black warriors came, they were afraid, and now at this time, they actually send us food."

"It's just that they want to curry favor with us, buy us off, and want us to help them fight the black warriors."

"What are you kidding, can the black warriors fight? They are tall and big, with blue eyes and great strength, as I have seen before. ”

"I've also seen it, the Ning people definitely can't beat the black warriors, and the Ning country must not be able to do it, if they have enough troops, they still need to send us food and weapons? I think either they know that they can't beat the black warriors, or they want us to die. ”

"We send to death? After taking their food and weapons, it is not up to us to decide whether to fight the black warriors or not, and with food and weapons, can't we make our own decisions? ”

A group of people whispered, not daring to say it out loud, but spoke passionately.

Park Eunyuan, the county guard of Gaotang City, was a little nervous, and more than a hundred Daning soldiers who had been scattered before passed by outside Gaotang City and asked him to open the city gate.

He ordered that no one was allowed to open the city gates, and connived at people to throw stones at those Daning soldiers, and Daning's reinforcements arrived in a few days after this incident, so it would be strange to say that he was not afraid.

He subconsciously looked at the General Ning Guo who was standing not far away, and after thinking about it, he smiled flatteringly, "General Xin, may I ask how many troops the Great General brought this time?" The Black Warriors are menacing, and although we resisted before, we could not defeat them, and we only waited for the arrival of the imperial army. ”

Xin Jigong looked at him sideways and didn't answer.

Park Eun Won swallowed his spit, "That, if the army still needs the subordinate to prepare something, the subordinate will prepare immediately, as long as the general gives an order, the subordinate will go all out." ”

Xin Jigong said, "You don't need to prepare anything, the main task of the general this time is to transport grain and grass, the sailor soldiers are not the main force fighting against the blacks, we have 10,000 soldiers, escorting hundreds of ships of grain and grass ashore, distributing it to you, and also sending it to the Daning warrior garrisons in various places, the task of the sailor soldiers is to keep the grain route unblocked, if you want to fight the black warriors, it is better to go to General Meng Changan's side, his sword soldiers have arrived." ”

Hearing that the sword soldiers in Dongjiang had arrived, Park Eunyuan subconsciously trembled, he thought that if he didn't open the city gate, he would probably be executed, if he could get out at this time, what were he waiting for, if he couldn't get out, he had to find a way to get out, and he was thinking about how to run, so he stepped forward head-on, "Xiaguan's stomach is really not angry, the general hasn't arrived yet, and Xiaguan will go first to make it convenient, I don't know if it's feasible?" ”

Xin Jigong glanced at him with disgust, "Hurry up, come back quickly." ”

Park Eun Won thanked him a thousand times, quickly turned around and ran, where to go to the toilet, ran home in one go, and asked people to pack up their things and leave the city immediately.

Outside the city, Xin Jigong glanced back, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, and he ordered in a very soft voice, "Go to a few ten-person teams and pretend to chase him, so that he can run faster." ”

His personal soldiers responded and entered the city with a team of ten people, Park Enyuan heard that Ning Jun was chasing him, where did he dare to delay, and drove a big car away, Ning Jun pretended to chase a few miles, and did not bring cavalry, so this scene is also realistic, Park Enyuan felt that he ran out of the tiger's mouth in a dangerous and dangerous way, and his body was already wet with cold sweat.

An hour later, outside Gaotang City, Shen Leng arrived with a large army, Xin Jigong greeted him, and bowed down, "Most of the people of Gaotang have arrived, and the county guard Park Eunyuan has also fled, if nothing else, he will inevitably go to the nearest Heiwu Detuo army to report to him, I told him that we are just a grain transport team, with hundreds of boats of grain, only 10,000 people." ”

Shen Leng snorted, "What's the news from the scout?" ”

"Dedetuo's 50,000 black army is about a hundred miles away from here, they are faster than us, after passing Gaotang, you can walk for a few days to North Hancheng, if nothing else, Park Eunyuan will be able to catch up with him in about two days, it depends on whether he will come back."

Shen Leng nodded, "I put such a big piece of spice on him, he doesn't come to eat it, it's not a good fish." ”

After saying this, Shen Leng turned to look at the Bohai people gathered outside the city, dense, many people were still shouting why they hadn't sent food until now, they had been waiting for a long time, and if they didn't send food, they would starve to death.

"Send it to them."

Shen Leng turned around and entered the city.

Outside the city, more than 20,000 soldiers of the Naval Division suddenly moved and killed those Bohai people.
