0924 The Soldier is treacherous
Xie Ai's words made everyone's eyes light up.
Yes, even if you don't talk about the past, the performance of the Huainan Army in this battle alone is enough to kill people. It's not about the bravery of the soldiers at all, it's a completely different level of fighting.
These people here were originally part of the Yedi army, and they more or less understood the strength of the opposite side. Even if they haven't surrendered yet, ask yourself, how many similar battles can they hold onto?
Thinking of this, everyone was glad in their hearts, at least for now, they didn't need to face the powerful Huainan Army, but were on the same front. And as Xie Ai said, originally the last to enter the micro-shi, after the first battle of Jijun, will be famous all over the world. Including the Governor of Huainan Shen, many generals in Huainan have only become famous and known to the world in recent years.
An army like the Huainan Army can be said to be the dream of all generals. With such a strong soldier in hand, why worry that the merit cannot be created? In previous years, they had more or less lamented bad luck, and sat back and watched many miscellaneous ugly people proud of the world, but now that the opportunity is in front of them, can they grasp it?
Thinking of this, everyone's demeanor became eager, and those who dared to survive in troubled times, who would be willing to be mediocre? In previous years, they either lacked luck or lack of strength, so they could only be reduced to a guinea dog guarding the hometown, trapped in a corner.
But now, the Huainan Army is coming in a big way and showing strong combat effectiveness, while Shizhao in Hebei is still divided and fighting separately. Which side is more promising, it is needless to say. They may not be able to ride the wind and waves, because of the situation, whether they can see the world in the future, between today's trade-offs!
While others were still groaning, Wang Guang, who was determined to follow the Huainan Army, had already left the table and bowed, and said in an excited tone: "Born as the bloodline of Zhuxia, I hated the fall of Hu Zhi." It was only because of his weak talent and strength that he was worried about causing trouble to the countryside, so he did not dare to kill Hu decisively. Now that the king is coming to the north, he is scolding Hu Lu and strengthening the blood of the Jin people. At this time, if you are still willing to be controlled by the thief Hu and dare not fight for your life, you are born cheap, and it is not a pity to die! ”
"Well spoken!"
When Xie Ai heard this, he clapped his hands and cheered for the general.
Wang Guang was encouraged by this, and his expression became even more excited: "Although the last general has no benevolence and courage to boast of, he is by no means a self-degrading person, begging for a knife and a bow, and killing thieves for Wang Shizhuang!" Even if you die in battle, with this life to tell the world, the people of Hebei are not willing to fall into thieves, if the king is called by benevolence and righteousness, Lingye has its own loyal and fierce bones to respond! ”
As soon as his words fell, the rest of them all got up and bowed down one after another, echoing loudly.
When Xie Ai saw this, he felt that this Wang Guang was really a talent, as a general, he saw that the rudder was only one end, and now this remark was as if he had put himself in a benevolent and righteous high position, and he was a small general. If he doesn't give this Wang Guang the power to arm the villagers, there will inevitably be a gap between them.
However, not to mention that Xie Ai does not have such power, even if he does, it is impossible to be squeezed by words and unable to deal with it.
"The prince and other village sages, although they have been denied kinghood for a long time due to chaos, they can still mark themselves with benevolence and righteousness, and have a strong mind, which is really admirable. If it weren't for the fact that there is still a person who is still looking up to you to govern the township and the people, I really want to introduce you to the governor's account immediately, and if the governor can hear the sound of this township, he will definitely feel very gratified! ”
Xie Ai said this to tell these people to feel at ease in front of them, and if they want to obtain armed forces in the name of organizing the villagers, it is still impossible for the time being.
However, since these people had this idea, Xie Ai did not completely refuse, and ordered people to show the Hebei surrender letters sent by the previous governor in front of everyone and said with a smile: "There are many loyal and righteous people in Hebei, so why do you need to use your life as proof." Since Wang Shi went north, many villagers have submitted letters and offered their sincerity, and they are eager for Wang Shi to be rescued. It's just that the military period has its own fixed number, and it can't be all from the hometown. I would like to ask you to give a little condolences to these villagers, please be calm and not impatient, and the time for salvation is not far away. ”
The people sorted these letters a little, and after seeing the names of those letters, they were also surprised for a while. Among these letters, there are twenty or thirty names involved, which accounts for more than half of the famous military leaders in Yedi! Among them, there are even many heroic clans such as the Hejian Xing clan, the Guangping You clan, and the Yangping Zhang clan, and these powerful sects alone, the Yedi army they have mastered and influenced amounted to tens of thousands!
After reading all the letters of Toucheng, these people were also vigilant, shocked and emotional. Originally, as generals, they would be a little depressed and embarrassed when they thought of their identity, but at least they chose to surrender when the war was unfavorable.
Unexpectedly, these Ye tycoons have no bottom line, and now Shi Kan is only slightly inferior, and the two sides are even in a state of confrontation, so they hurriedly collaborated with the enemy to leave a way to retreat. This ability to see the wind and rudder surpasses them, no wonder although they are also in troubled times, some people can become stronger and stronger in chaos.
At the same time, there is also a sense of crisis in the hearts of these people. Wang Shi has been isolated in Hebei for a long time, and if he wants to operate in Hebei this time, he must attract some township sects for use. Originally, these people had the advantage of being the first to vote, but they were really not advantageous compared to those Yedi giants, and if those people really voted, it would undoubtedly squeeze their upward space.
"It is true that the people of Hebei welcome Wang Shi, but, but it is ......"
After a little silence, Wang Guang put on a posture of wanting to speak and stopping.
"If the prince has something to say, he might as well speak up."
Xie Ai said with a smile when he saw this.
The last general also had the courage to speak, worried that Wang Shisheng would be taken advantage of by traitors. For example, Yangping Zhang Lu, although his family calls himself Chinese, but in fact, he has already mixed with Zhang, Shi Shilong's first battle in Hebei, his family tried their best to help. Now the thieves such as Zhang Raccoon and Zhang Jackal in the Qiang are all close to each other with his furniture......"
Wang Guang groaned and said, it was not malicious slander, he wanted to eliminate potential opponents. He plans to serve Huainan for a long time, and playing this kind of cleverness is joking with his life and future.
After hearing this, Xie Ai bowed his head slightly, and asked people to pick out the surrender letter of the Yangping Zhang family, and asked some details about his family's collusion with Qi Hu, and then said with a smile: "The way of deceit can last long!" ”
The reason why he put these letters out was to screen them through these Hebei locals and distinguish which of them were deliberately deceitful. After all, in the early years, the Hu was powerful, and the Jin people were pressed all the way south of Huaishui, and they were really unfamiliar with the nostalgia of Hebei.
Even if more than half of them are fraudulent surrenders, this does not affect the majesty of the Huainan Army, which shows that the strength of the Huainan Army has brought huge pressure to the enemy, and there is no confidence in the decisive victory on the frontal battlefield, and these tricks are required.
These generals probably guessed Xie Ai's intentions, and for a while they all spoke one after another, picking out the township clans who were too deeply involved with the Qianhu and had problems, of course, there were also many chasing after the wind and malicious slander, but they didn't dare to go too far.
This selection and selection actually gave birth to a strange pleasure in their hearts. Although they were all the military leaders of the Yedi family before, the military leaders of Ji County were originally marginalized.
Now they are backed by the Huainan Army, to choose which one is credible and which one is not, there is quite a sense of pleasure of deciding life and death with a word, especially these selected objects, most of which are the characters they need to look up to before.
Xie Ai listened to these people's comments and asked them to put together a new list. Of course, he won't trust these people completely, and the list compiled is a bit wider. The list compiled in this way has been narrowed down a lot, and in the eyes of these Hebei locals, there are still more than a dozen people who have the real possibility of surrender and are worth wooing.
Of course, these generals cannot be required to be completely objective, there must be selfishness in this. But this is not a serious problem for Xie Ai.
When the list was sorted out, he instructed these generals to send people to contact each other, and if they could be recruited, it would be a great achievement. Moreover, if those people surrender under such circumstances, their troops will definitely be retained, and they will be slowly digested in the future, and they will not be dissolved immediately.
This can be regarded as a response to the demands of those surrendered generals from the side, and the armed forces they have recruited can certainly retain a certain amount of influence.
These measures were not explicit instructions from the Governor, but Xie Ai also understood that since the Governor had sent these letters to him, he must have hoped that he would be able to make a little fuss in this regard. Moreover, the governor himself did not know much about the situation in Hebei, so he was given the power to act cheaply.
In addition to instructing these generals to contact the Yedi military leaders who were likely to surrender, Xie Ai also planned to spread all the surrender lists. Although he himself laughed and said that those deceptions were just tricks, in fact, he himself used troops in a rather strange style.
Especially at the moment, the army led by the governor is facing off against Shi Kan across the river, and he has a side battlefield here, as long as he can ensure that Xifang City does not lose this premise, then there are really as many tricks as there are to use as many tricks, and if it fails, it will be nothing, if it can succeed, it will be able to achieve great results.
