"Liu Chao, you have been in our army for many days, what do you think of our army?"

"Back to the deputy marshal, in the next ten years of going south and north, after no less than 50 battles, and Weiguo, Sun Guo, Liang State, Yan State, Changsun Guo are all fighting, each prince's army in addition to the combat power and ordnance have their own merits, other customizations are similar.

However, only the rewards and punishments in the Xian army are clear, and they are very fair, and the soldiers do not use their lives for money and food, but only for a few acres of land at home. Before that, we all farmed for the nobles and the government, and the income was only a meager income, and we couldn't make ends meet, so where did we dare to expect our family to have a few acres of our own grain land. ”

"In fact, it is better to give the land to the people than to occupy it in the hands of the powerful. When the people fight for the land, they are not afraid of death, because the people take the land as their life. And the people have no land, there are no roots, and under the powerful and powerful of the powerful and powerful officials, the poor will inevitably cause disaster.

In the future, the land of Sun Country will be the land of my Xian country, and the people of Sun Country will also be the people of my Xian country, everyone can get land, they can have fields, and the hearts of the people are tied to the fields, so how can they not let the people fight for the country. ”

"What the deputy marshal said is reasonable, we and other small people live in the world, and there is no luxury, just for a bite of food to live, and there is a place for a piece of tiles. If it weren't for the government's coercion being too urgent, how could they rebel. Now that the Xianjun army has descended, he is also willing, and there is no dissent. ”

"General Liu has no need to worry. The so-called dissenting minds are nothing more than two kinds, one is greedy and the other is ill-intentioned. In order to eat a full meal, what kind of disagreement do you have to talk about, many times you can't help yourself, how is the situation of the more than 300 people under Han Qi's command in the past two days? ”

"Back to the deputy marshal, Han Qi's subordinates are actually no different, some of them are natives of Zhaocheng, and they are worried about their families and fleeing, so they also ask the deputy marshal Mingjian."

Ben Shuai had already considered this matter, so he did not embarrass them. But the big war is imminent, I want to put these more than 300 people back to Zhaocheng, and pass the word to Zhaocheng for the commander, do you think they are willing? ”

"Those who live in Zhaocheng should be willing."

"Okay, you and Zida talk to them, if you are willing to go back to the city, Ben Shuai will never be embarrassed, come to my handsome tent in the afternoon, and Ben Shuai will let them go back to the city."

After instructing Liu Chao, Bailiyan went to the back camp, and on the way Jiang Jie asked:

"Master Hou, what are you doing letting those three hundred people go back to the city?"

"Of course, it's to say down."

"I gave five thousand silver in vain before, and this time I put people back, and it doesn't seem to have any effect."

"It's definitely going to work, it's just not going to happen."

"Master Hou, don't sell it, what is the strategy, and you have to make money at a discount."

"Earn money and drink?" Bai Liyan stopped and looked at Jiang Jie: "When have you ever seen Ben Hou make a profit." ”

"Isn't this time just a discount to make money?"

"What do you know, I ask you, do you know what the fire in the mountains yesterday afternoon was?"

Jiang Jie shook his head, like a rattle:

"I don't know."

"Then do you know what kind of soldiers and horses are reinforcing Zhaocheng this time?"

"I don't know."

"Since you don't know, what are you fooling about? Let's go, go to the back camp. ”

"Eh, Master Hou, you don't seem to have said anything."

"Yes, Ben Shuai reminded you so much, you kid don't use your brain? In vain, you have followed Benhou for so many years, I think you kid gave birth to a son and lost all your soul. ”

Bai Liyan didn't explain more, many times, intuition is a very wonderful feeling, inexplicable, difficult to teach by word and deed, the battle of Zhaocheng, in a sense, has undergone a qualitative change.

If it is in ordinary times, the picture is happy, noisy, not elegant, and if it is wrong, it is a big deal to laugh it.

In wartime, the words and deeds of the commander-in-chief are related to the stability of the three armies, and speculative events can only be done, not said, and doing wrong is the loss of the lives of some soldiers, and saying it wrong may damage your own prestige and the trust of your subordinates for a long time.

Bailiyan has more and more experienced the taste of "the height is not cold", the higher the status, the heavier the burden on his shoulders, and he can't be hasty in his words and deeds.

Just after the afternoon, Zhaocheng was heavily guarded as if facing a great enemy, Zhou Kong stood at the head of the city, and tens of thousands of black armor were clearly visible in the telescope five miles away, but her brows could not see the slightest relief.

"General Fang, what happened to Ma Zheng's people?" Zhou Kong asked.

"The dead and wounded, there are still more than thirty living mouths, delicious and delicious hospitality, judging from the corpses, there are not many other escapes."

"Didn't you find Ma Zheng's escort?"

"After searching all night, I didn't find that I either went deep into the mountains or was eaten by jackals. The mountains are tightly sealed, and if they want to escape, they can't escape, and it is difficult to inform Ma Zheng's people and horses of the news. ”

Most of Ma Zheng's surviving subordinates were controlled by Zhou Kong to eat and drink in the city, and they also gave a large amount of hush money. But she is still worried that Ma Zheng's fleeing escort will jump out of Fang Ke's blockade and flee west, and join Ma Zheng's generals to sue first, and things will become very passive.

When the slave army approached Sanli, a group of more than 100 light horsemen broke away from the brigade and came to the west gate of Zhaocheng, and shouted loudly for the first general:

"Hey, General Ma Zheng is here."

At this time, the drawbridge was suddenly lowered, the city gate was opened from the inside, a team of defenders rushed out, and dozens of people under Ma Zheng followed closely behind.

"See Admiral Gao."

Gao Teng saw the disabled people with blue noses and swollen faces, and immediately asked:

"What are you waiting for, General Ma!"

"General Qiyu Gao, General Ma unfortunately died."

"What, dead!" Gao Teng was taken aback, jumped off the war horse, dragged the speaker and hurriedly asked, "How did you die!" ”

Ma Zheng's subordinates explained in detail yesterday's situation, and Gao Teng was furious:

"After eating the bear's heart and leopard gall, our people dare to move, and the city lord will be tired of it!"

Gao Teng's every move at this time was under Zhou Kong's gaze, his voice was loud, and Zhou Kong's heart was even more vigilant:

"General Fang, you are sitting at the head of the city, and I will go to meet Gao Teng."

"Yes."

Zhou Kong turned around and fell to the city, Cao Sheng made a cadre of the culprits of the Holy Lords tied ropes, stuffed cloth strips, and waited for the delivery under the city wall road, and all the treasures in the tomb of Chai Bi were loaded on the car, ready to be transported away at any time.

Riding to the drawbridge, Gao Teng saw that there were cavalry out of the city and stood vigilant, so he held the horse Shuo tightly in front of him to prevent accidents. Seeing that the person who came was a team of women, Gao Teng was even more puzzled, so he shouted:

"Who's coming?"

"Shine on the city guards."

"What, it's a!"

In the same way as Ma Zheng's reaction, in Gao Teng's eyes, the woman is just a venting tool on the bed, where can he ride on a horse, and it is almost the same for him to ride.

"You are the city guard!"

"It's the general." Zhou Kong handed over the tooth card, and there was a female character on the reverse side of the tooth card.

The female tooth card is mostly seen in the inner servants, and it is rare in the army. Gao Teng knew that no one would dare to pretend to be a female general's tooth card, so he returned the tooth card to Zhou Kong, and said with a slight salute:

"See General Zhou."

"General Gao Teng is exempt."

"General Xie Zhou. Dare to ask General Zhou, is it true that General Ma Zheng of our army dug up the grave and died? ”

"To tell the truth, this matter has nothing to do with General Ma Zheng, but he asked for a huge amount of money, and also robbed the Holy Commander of the enemy's capital, after learning that our army found the treasure in the mountain, he went to rob it.

Later, due to the collapse of the tomb, he was hit on the head by a copper cylinder of four or five hundred catties and unfortunately died. The Shengxun Division took the opportunity to vent personal revenge, snatched gold and silver, and fought with General Ma Zheng's general, and after the two armies fought for half a day, our army arrived, and Ma Zheng's general was angry with our army again, and killed for another hour, resulting in the Shengxun Division, the general's subordinates, and General Ma Zheng's subordinates, more than 2,000 people were killed and more than 1,500 people were injured. ”

"This ......" Gao Teng was speechless, he knew very well that Ma Zheng did it, but if it was difficult to do, it would be difficult to do it, and he couldn't explain it to Ma Zheng's subordinates.

Seeing Gao Teng's embarrassment, Zhou Kong knew that there was an opportunity to take advantage of, so he said:

"General Ma Zheng's death, this general also has the responsibility of not governing the army strictly, so the treasure found this time, the general is willing to hand over all the treasures, and the culprit of the Holy Order Division will also be handed over to your army to dispose of, what does Vice Admiral Gao think?"

When Gao Teng heard the news of all the gold and silver treasures, his heart suddenly brightened, as for who is the culprit, it doesn't seem to matter so much, anyway, having money to spend is the king.

"General Zhou understands the righteousness so well, and Gao admires it so much. This matter will be explained to the generals to avoid further misunderstandings. ”

"That's the best, little lotus seed, transport the prisoners and treasures out and hand them over to General Gao."

"Yes!"

When he was young, dozens of carts of gold, silver and jewelry were packed in wooden boxes, piled up on a cart pulled by a donkey and slowly transported out of the city gate.

"General Zhou, these are all gold and silver!"

"Not all, they are all gold and silver jewelry from the previous dynasty, of which the gold and silver are discounted at a total of more than 27,000 silver, and the jewelry and jade are about 40,000."

Gao Teng's eyes widened in shock, and he was secretly happy in his heart. Zhou Kong saw that his face was different, and suddenly a sense of foreboding came to his heart. busyis says:

"Vice General Gao, the gold, silver and jewelry are all here, there is no other gold and silver in the city, please also ask General Gao to know it."

Gao Teng naturally knew what Zhou Kong was talking about, and nodded busily:

"Please rest assured General Zhou, this matter is on the general."

"Then there will be labor."

Zhou Kong raised his hand and gave a slight salute, and Gao Teng immediately returned to the army with the culprit of gold, silver, jewelry and the Holy Order, and on the way, he did not forget to open a box of gold and silver and look at it twice, and the greed in his heart jumped on his face.

Gao Teng agreed, which made Zhou Kong breathe a sigh of relief, and without waiting for his breathing, Fang Ke went out of the city to report:

"General Zhou, Han Qi's subordinates in the Xian military camp are outside the east gate and ask to enter the city."

"What, how did they get back!" Zhou Kong asked vigilantly, and in a blink of an eye, it was Baili Yan's poisonous plan again.

"It's not clear, but there are no ambushes."

"Let Han Qi pick up people, take them to Dongda Camp and detain them, and report to me after asking clearly."

"No!"

Zhou Kong didn't dare to be careless, since Han Qi returned to the city, not only did he not figure out the details of the Xian army, but he came to help the Xian army "promote" the land policy.

At this time, Gao Teng returned to the army with treasures, 50,000 horses stopped two miles away, the vanguard besieged the city, and Ma Zheng commanded three captains and Gao Teng and the four people talked for a long time.
