Chapter 467: Mercy or Cruelty
Jia Xu laughed: "Don't say that Wang Pingfan is not short of food in the first place, even if it is lacking, the rations of their two thousand people are still ready, and with his ruthlessness in the city, even if he kills all the people in the city and robs all the food, he will not blink an eye." ”
Wang Jiyong scratched his head: "The people of Shaanxi are indeed innocent, but they can't harm more people for the people of this city, so don't let Wang Ping Fan harm more people." ”
When it comes to the people who want to protect the people of Shaanxi the most, Wang Jiyong ranks second, and no one dares to rank first, but now he has to come out and say this kind of thing, he is now a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and he can't always put his position in the position of the king of Shaanxi, otherwise he will have no way to integrate into the court of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no way to mention protecting the people, so he can only say this sentence, the people of this city have fallen into the hands of Wang Pingfan, and he can't harm more people for the people of this city.
Only after he has a firm foothold in the court can he protect more people, which may sound a little hypocritical and cruel, but when he reaches his position, he doesn't plan to care what others think, just ask for a clear conscience.
Cheng Xiaolian also laughed when he heard this: "Let's not worry, why do we need to exchange the lives of the people of a city for victory, besides, Wang Pingfan's life may not be easy now, he regards the people of Fengxiang City as pigs and dogs, will the people of Fengxiang City still help him?" In short, we have a way to deal with him, and we don't have to fight with him until we have to. ”
Speaking of this, he glanced at Wang Jiyong: "We still have to see if we can connect with the people in the city, if we can meet the inside and outside, it would be great." ”
Wang Jiyong nodded: "I'll try to see if I can contact the people in the city." So saying, he walked out.
Jia Xu glanced at Cheng Xiaolian: "Your Highness, you can't be a woman at this time, once Wang Pingfan eases up, we will be in big trouble, Wu Sangui is willing to let him take charge alone, this person must have the ability." ”
Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "The problem is that if you think about how Wang Pingfan can make a comeback, the current people in Fengxiang City, not to mention that they hate him to the core, they are also cold, how can they still help him?" It's important that we quickly think of some countermeasures. ”
On the other side, Wang Pingfan returned to the mansion with a melancholy face: "Although they haven't attacked us for the time being, it is obvious that they don't care much about whether we will slaughter the people in the city, and the reason why they didn't attack is that they are worried that if the affairs in Fengxiang Mansion are not handled well, it will affect their control of Shaanxi in the future, and we can't keep threatening them with this, do you have any good ways?" ”
A strategist next to him thought for a while: "Dashuai, our number is too small now, it is difficult to beat them in hard work, and the morale of our soldiers has not recovered because of that big defeat, we must have a sword to go sideways, in order to win the battle." ”
Wang Pingfan was a little impatient: "When it comes to serious things, there is no word in his mouth that he understands when he talks about serious things. ”
"Marshal, I mean, we have to go out of the city to fight them, and staying in the city is not the way."
"Bastard, if I can beat me, won't I fight!"
"Commander, I mean, the people of the city are lined up in front of our team, followed by our own people, and use the people to disrupt their military formation, and our soldiers will be able to defeat them in the back."
Wang Pingfan's eyes lit up: "You kid has a good idea, you haven't read so many books in vain." ”
"The important thing is that even if they are determined to slaughter the people in the city, they can't react for a while, and when they react, the people have already rushed to us, and we can defeat them."
"Okay, just do as you say, immediately go to the people, find two thousand people in front of us, and don't believe in rushing their formation."
The next morning, the gates of the city suddenly opened, and a group of people rushed out, and at the front were ordinary people with their bare hands.
Wang Pingfan also knew that he couldn't give these people weapons, otherwise once they defected, his own people would be finished, as long as they didn't have weapons, they wouldn't have the courage to resist themselves, and when they rushed over, it would be too late, even if they wanted to resist.
Cheng Xiaolian didn't expect Wang Pingfan to launch an offensive so quickly, and immediately began to assemble the army, Yang Youcai suddenly ran over: "Your Highness, something is wrong, just now Jinyi Wei came to report, and the people who rushed to the front were the people in the city." ”
Cheng Xiaolian was stunned for a moment: "How many people are there?" ”
"There are about 2,000 people, if we kill them, we can kill them, they are all bare-handed, but if we kill them, what the people of Shaanxi will think of us is not necessarily."
Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "I understand, Wang Jiyong and Huangfu Tong's cavalry gathered together, outflanked from both wings, and left the people in front of them to attack and kill the men and horses of Wang Ping Domain." ”
Wang Jiyong also spoke at this time: "Your Highness, at this time, you can't take care of the life and death of these people, you must be ruthless when you fight for a while, with me, the people of Shaanxi will understand Your Highness." If we lose, the whole of Shaanxi will fall into the hands of Wang Pingfan, and then it will be better for them to live than die. ”
After saying that, he got on the horse and killed Wang Pingfan's rear in two ways with Huangfu Tong's soldiers, but Wang Pingfan had already been prepared, and if he dared to put on this formation, he was not afraid of being stabbed obliquely.
On both sides are dense shield arrays, cavalry rushing over can only hit hard, but their big shields are special, three or four people raise a shield, it is not easy for cavalry to break the shield array.
Seeing the cavalry outflanking from both wings, Wang Pingfan snorted coldly: "I thought that you would have such a play, but fortunately, I was prepared." ”
Wang Pingfan is like a shrunken Wang Ba retracted into a shell, making Wang Jiyong and Huangfu Tong on the periphery unable to speak.
At this time, the people in the front row were already less than five hundred steps away from the Northern Sweeping Army, and with their footsteps, they were afraid that they would be able to rush to the front of the Northern Sweeping Army in a few dozen breaths.
Meng Ke stood beside Cheng Xiaolian: "Your Highness, hurry up and get an idea, I will go up with the Modao team, and I will be able to kill them cleanly, we can't lose the battle for these thousands of people." ”
"I don't know this truth, but it's not the last moment, you hurry up and turn my brain to think of an idea, Meng Ke, you take the Mo Dao team to the front, if there is no good way for a while, then we can only live with the people of Fengxiang Mansion."
Cheng Xiaolian really wants to be a saint, but countless blood and tears have told him that there is no perfect thing in the world, and if you want to fight the world, sometimes you have to do something against your will.
