Before this, the corpses of the sergeants killed by Yan Bei's own hands were hung on a platform higher than the city wall.

The soldiers suddenly made an uproar, and people thought that the captain had summoned them to this majestic school to receive a commendation, but who would have thought that as soon as they came up, they would see the robe Ze Heng dead on the spot.

"The brothers fought for Yan, shed blood, and even lost their lives, and Yan is grateful." Yan Bei rarely took off his heavy armor, showed his solemnity with a captain's armor, and said loudly to the soldiers in the audience: "This man, some of you know him, and some of you don't...... His name is Wen Wei, he is a native of Julu County, and on the day the city was broken, the ** women in the city killed people at will, and I killed him. ”

"Yan set a rule in Zhongshan Wuji that he must not harm the people in the city." Yan Bei waved his hand slightly, as if he had thrown away garbage, and then said to the adjutant: "Don't say much, reward for meritorious deeds!" ”

The soldier's attention was quickly attracted by the heavy reward, instead of regretting the life and death of others, where is the real money in the arms?

Wu Chang, who captured the frustrated award, really got the ten gold gold promised by Yan Bei before the decisive battle.

Huang Chengcheng's golden cake was held in his arms, and Wu Chang's whole person fell into a huge sense of satisfaction and happiness, and stood on the tower of Congtai City in a daze.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers who had made meritorious contributions shouted their names along with the Gong Cao in the battalion, and lined up in turn to receive the reward...... For the Yan soldiers, it was a long wait; For Yanbei, he watched the money he had accumulated so hard to spend like flowing water, which was really a lot of money.

"Erlang, you didn't tell them...... The man fought valiantly, and killed three enemies with his own hands as he ascended the city. Sun Qing and the generals of the Yan army stood behind Yan Bei, also on the cong platform, they could clearly see the expressions of the soldiers under the number of zhang, Sun Qing paid for his close relationship with Yan Bei, and said in a joking tone: "And the first person killed by Captain Yan in the siege of Handan was also him." ”

That's right, Yan Bei killed the first and only person in the seventy-day siege battle, which lasted through the long spring battle, was his own men.

Yan Bei turned his head slowly, glanced at Sun Qing with a facial expression, and frightened Sun Qing, who had been running north and south for hundreds of miles, shrunk his neck coldly.

Not only him, they were all a little afraid of Yanbei in their hearts, even if Sun Qing was very close to Yanbei. Yan Bei didn't even need to frown, in Sun Qing's understanding, the captain who was born as a horse bandit would never frown out of anger, but it was even more terrifying with an expressionless face or a smirk...... As for frowning?

That just means he's in trouble.

Sun Qing swallowed his saliva with some difficulty, his eyes glanced down quickly, and he was anxious to put aside the topic in his mind, and hurriedly looked at the distributed gold cakes and big money with a flattering smile and asked, "Erlang, this is really a lot of money, how much is this?" ”

"One hundred and seventy gold, eight hundred and seventy thousand dollars." Yan Bei looked at everyone and chuckled: "None of you can take out this little money?" ”

More than 200 and nearly 300 gold, I don't know when it has become 'small money' in the eyes of everyone, whether it is the future taxes of the counties, or the fields and mansions that you have managed to get by means, in the final analysis, it will be more than the money rewarded by Yanbei.

Hearing Yan Bei's meaningful words, Wang Dang and several people lowered their heads one after another, but fortunately, Yan Bei didn't seem to want to grasp this matter and not let go, but said casually: "It's easy to reward soldiers, the cost of raising soldiers is far greater than this, I think you have a deep understanding of this." When the swords and soldiers are together, it is ten thousand dollars flowing eastward! ”

"There are some things that you don't need to let everyone know...... But you must know. Yan Bei glanced at Sun Qing angrily, turned around and said to a group of cronies and generals who came from all over the country: "You are now the leader of every city, and the nobles and chiefs in the county are all decided by your words, and you control the livelihood of thousands of households and thousands of people in a county." Every city of ours has been conquered, so you must govern well, the brothers have no experience in governance, I don't want to be excellent, but you must be just. ”

"The strongest city will be breached because it is unpopular...... You don't make the people comfortable, and the people won't make you comfortable. Yan Bei exhaled a breath of turbidity, the reward below continued and lasted for a long time, although there was nothing to do with him, he had to stand here and wait for everything to end, and simply explain something to the cronies and generals, "The people's thoughts are very strange, although we were all people before, but if you don't want to die in your current position, it's best to remember everything Yan said, remember." ”

"You try to do what a county governor should do, fairness, benevolence, and they may not help you, at most they will not oppose you. But if you let them have a bad life, even if you do something wrong, even if you are not wrong, but it hurts their interests, they don't care where your eyes see, they don't want to grow, once you don't do a good job, they will hate you and turn against you...... Lack of affection, human nature. ”

The people are the most affectionate, and the people are the most tolerant...... Therefore, for Yanbei, who is a novice in politics, he would rather believe in the inherent evil of human nature to spur himself.

"Sun Qing, your family members have all been brought to Handan City." Yan Bei swept in front of the brothers, and finally fixed on Sun Qing's face, paused and said: "In the days when I am away, you come to make the Handan order and guard and cure this city for me." ”

Wang Dang and the others looked at Sun Qing with envious eyes, but Sun Qing was stunned and asked, "Erlang, are you leaving...... Where to go? ”

Yan Bei frowned and looked at the north, pursed his lips and said, "Feiru, I have to go to Feiru to bring the little third son back." ”

Everyone was stunned again, and Jiang Jin hurriedly said, "Erlang, how many people to bring, I'll prepare...... The best riders, the best armor! ”

"No need!"

Before Jiang Jin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yan Bei, and then said: "I have thought about this matter, you don't need to supervise the soldiers and horses, you go and prepare two horses for me, and a set of strong armor, light and strong, two layers of rhino leather armor, one layer of large armor, and a sharp steel knife." ”

"I went alone, and I was more imposing. With the seven cities of Guangping in the hands of my Yanbei, Zhang Chun didn't dare to do anything to me, not to mention that if he didn't lead his troops and horses over, even if things changed, there would be more room for maneuver...... Therefore, if you want to see me come back alive, you should take care of the cities under the autonomous government, and don't make any trouble for me these days. ”

Generals, look at me, I look at you, although I feel that Yanbei is a little too big, but I can't think of any good reason to refute it. Yanbei is right, with these cities in their hands, how dare Zhang Chun kill Yanbei?

Lei Gong slapped his chest with a shocking sound, and said loudly: "Captain don't worry, if that pure old thief dares to attack you...... We are recruiting and training troops in Guangping, as long as you escape, our more than 10,000 troops will immediately turn around and go north, slaughter that old thing, and General Mitian should be you! ”

"That's right! I don't know any big truths, but this city was all brought down by our captain, why let them have fun in fattening...... General Mitian should be our lieutenant! ”

Li Damu and the others all deeply agreed with this, but Wang Yi asked in a low voice: "Erlang, what do you mean by this, casting, throwing rats?" ”

"Yes, it's a rat trap."

"Then captain, who are you going to take with you to prepare an extra set of armor?"

The corners of Yan Bei's mouth hooked up an intriguing smile, and he whispered to everyone that it was an unexpected name, "Gao Guan." ”

"Gao Yan!"

"The captive?"

Yan Bei nodded, waved his hand and said, "There is no need to talk about this matter anymore, I have a way for him to escort me all the way to Feiru...... There are many warriors beside him, it's just to talk about courage, if Zhang Chun really has the intention to kill me, he is to supervise 5,000 soldiers and horses, and he is very powerful in the army, what is the difference between going alone and me? ”

Yan Bei's words left the generals speechless.

Feiru is the outpost of Wuhuan people from the northeast to the south, and it is Zhang Chun's garrison camp, and such a territory is also a powerful army.

Even if Governor Yanbei led 5,000 soldiers and horses, would he still be able to defeat at least 20,000 soldiers and horses under Zhang Chun's command if he really fought?

Yan Bei weighed it in his heart, if he could bring Yan Dong back to Handan by peaceful means, he would be able to get greater benefits...... Just as war is just an extension of court politics, face-tearing battles are often just a means of helplessness in dealing with people.

The cost of war is too great.

After besieging Handan for 70 days, more than 10,000 men and horses spent nearly 100,000 catties of grain and grass every day...... If it weren't for the fact that Yanbei would supply soldiers and horses with the land of the two counties, the strong city of Handan would have not been captured, and its own soldiers and horses would have been in the camp first.

When the slaughter takes place on the battlefield, the enemy's ears are used in exchange for a reward, and the lives of the robes are also compensated...... No soldier was willing to serve a leader who could not guarantee a pension, and naturally no one would serve him.

It's a lot of money.

It is always more money to be spent on the dead than for the living.

For there is greater hope for the living, but all that remains of the dead is despair. His family, his wife and children, nothing but despair.

Money is never a substitute for hope, not now, not in the future.

This can only try to smooth out the small guilt in Yanbei's heart for those soldiers who died in battle, because ...... Those people died because of him.

Many times people stand in the future and look back on every step they have taken, and they will always feel extremely confused, and those watersheds in life fully show the paradox of the world's encounters.

From the son of Manu to the commander of the war of 10,000 people, Yan Bei knew that this was the reason why he never made a mistake in every step.

Tiger step Jizhou crosses and collides, and what is attacked must be broken when it is attacked, which is certainly majestic, but the love of others has not swallowed him.

He knew who he was.

When Yanbei looked back at the north, it was the direction of Feiru. After the blade Pershing, that direction had become a Longtan tiger's den for Yanbei.

But he had to break through, because that was also his brother's direction.
