General Wang's lips moved, and finally he didn't say anything, and retreated with eighteen letters.

"The second thing is to resume training from today, and we will go into the mountains to exterminate the thieves in the near future."

All the generals showed hesitation on their faces, they were losing their troops in the mountains and forests, and they were already afraid of the mountains and forests. It's just that they are all generals of the defeated army, and Luo Xin is known as the god of the Ming army, even if he is afraid in his heart, he doesn't dare to say it.

"Don't let me see the place where military discipline is lax, otherwise I will be severely punished." Luo Xin shouted.

"Yes!"

"Stand down."

The generals retreated one after another, leaving the tent, whispering as they went.

"Lord Luo doesn't have any new tricks, it's still the same way as Dashuai."

"Yes, if this continues, we 90,000 people will come back from the mountains and forests, and I don't know how many will be left."

"If we are at the bottom of the mountain, no matter how many thieves and mountain people we are, we will not be our opponents, but once we enter the mountains and forests, we will ......."

"Well, what's the solution? I'm afraid that the marshal will be punished by His Majesty, do we dare not listen to Lord Luo? I advise you, let's go back and train strictly, don't let Lord Luo catch the handle, you must know that Lord Luo is thinking about Liwei. ”

"It's useful to take our Liwei, and you have the ability to take those mountain people and anti-thieves Liwei!"

"Be careful!"

“……”

Over the next few days, Luo Xin often walked around the camp to check on all sides of training. These soldiers also know what the atmosphere is now, no matter what they think in their hearts, but on the surface, they are all training strictly.

No matter what they think, as long as they show a serious attitude, Luo Xin is not demanding. Luo Xin just can't let the morale go down, otherwise there will be no need to fight this battle.

Luo Xin was not in a hurry, he knew that the eighteen soldiers sent the letter to the eighteen villages, and then returned, it was estimated that it would take about twenty days, and the mountain road was difficult to travel. If the eighteen villages think about it for a few more days, it will take longer.

Capital.

Emperor Jiajing was silently reading the letter written by Luo Xin in his hand, and opposite him, there were two people, Xu Jie and Gao Gong.

Emperor Jiajing frowned slightly as he read the letter.

In the letter, Luo Xin detailed the reasons for the defeat of Hu Zong's military army, and the main reason for the final defeat of this war was the mountain people. Then Luo Xin told Emperor Jiajing the root of the capriciousness of the mountain people for nearly two hundred years.

In the end, he told Emperor Jiajing that he would salute first and then soldiers, and sincerely recruit the mountain people, but if the mountain people did not surrender and continued to help Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect, he would treat the mountain people as anti-thieves and kill them all.

Emperor Jiajing was silent for a moment, handed the letter to Xu Jie, Gao Gong also came over, and the two of them read Luo Xin's letter together. After reading it, Xu Jie immediately exclaimed:

"Your Majesty, no. Those mountain people are also His Majesty's people, they didn't rebel, how could they let Luo Xin, the butcher, kill all the mountain people? ”

"My people? They didn't rebel? Emperor Jiajing's face was ugly and said: "They helped Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect kill 120,000 soldiers of my Ming Dynasty, and you told me that they are my people?" Not yet rebellious? ”

"This ......"

"Your Majesty!" Gao Gong also spoke at this time: "Anyway, slaughtering the mountain people is a violent act. His Majesty cannot agree. We should educate those ignorant mountain people. ”

"Indoctrination?" Emperor Jiajing said coldly: "Are you still less educated? Slaughtered 120,000 soldiers of my Ming Dynasty, is this the result of your indoctrination? ”

"This ......"

"Needless to say, let Luo Xin act cheaply."

"Acting cheaply? Hehe......" Luo Xin looked at the letter in his hand and couldn't help laughing.

Sitting next to him was Hu Zongxian, at this time Hu Zongxian's body had recovered most of his body, and his complexion was much better. Looking at Luo Xin, a worried look appeared on his face and said:

"No, that's not a good thing. If you lose this war, needless to say, the result is similar to my brother. If you win this war, but you win it by slaughtering the mountain people, the cabinet will probably not let you go, and maybe you will be charged with killing good and risking merit, and Your Majesty will have to admit your charge, otherwise Your Majesty will be a tyrant.

Obviously, His Majesty will not admit this crime. ”

"Hehe......"

"Do you still have the heart to laugh?"

"Brother, what would you do if something like this happened to you?"

Hu Zongxian frowned and thought about it seriously: "First of all, any result will not change my plan, if the mountain people refuse to surrender, I will really slaughter those mountain people." ”

Speaking of this, Hu Zongxian's face was full of anger, and when he thought that his soldiers died in the hands of thieves and mountain people, his heart boiled with anger.

"And then?" Luo Xin asked with a smile.

"I will immediately send someone to contact Gao Gong, but after all, you have an alliance with Gao Gong, let Gao Gong speak for you in front of Your Majesty, and help you in the cabinet, you should not be punished too severely by Your Majesty. At most, you can be demoted, as long as you keep your official position, with your ability, it is not a luxury to make a comeback. ”

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "First point, I agree. Whoever makes a mistake will be punished. Those mountain people and thieves killed 120,000 of my soldiers, if this is the case, how can they treat those 120,000 heroic souls?

Is the life of the mountain people a life, and the life of our 120,000 brothers is not a life?

Civilize?

He went to the mountain people to educate me and show me?

Let go of the mountain people, they will not feel guilty about the heroic souls of 120,000 soldiers? ”

Hu Zongxian looked at Luo Xin, who was sitting opposite, with excitement in his eyes. Luo Xin's words spoke to his heart, the bullshit indoctrination did not beat the mountain people with awe, they simply ignored your indoctrination, would laugh at your indoctrination, and finally kill those who were indoctrinated.

"That's a great point!"

"So, you can't go to the high arch at all. I admit that Gao Gong is an upright person, but he is also a stubborn and pedantic person. It can be said that if the mountain people do not accept my surrender this time, I will inevitably slaughter the mountain people here. In this way, Gao Gong and I turned against each other.

This is not a personal enmity like me and Xu Jie, but a difference in philosophy between me and Gao Gong. He will see me as a butcher, and no matter how hard I try, the two of us will never be able to unite again. ”

"That'...... Aren't you dangerous? Hu Zongxian's face was full of guilt, if it wasn't for his defeat, how could he put Luo Xin in such a situation?

"He will not unite with Xu Jie, and the situation in the imperial court will only become more complicated in the future."

"I won't talk about it in the future, you should talk about it now. Once you slaughter the mountain people, how will you deal with the imperial court? ”

"You can't find Gao Gong for this matter, let alone Xu Jie, only Your Majesty."
