Although the five hundred men and horses in the valley seemed to be all annihilated, Yao Chang was not completely relieved, so he looked at one of his generals and ordered loudly: "You immediately lead the five hundred men and horses down, whether they are alive or dead, give me a knife, go quickly." ”

"Yes, General." The general shouted the order, and immediately led his five hundred soldiers to the bottom of the valley.

At this time, the valley was full of the foul smell of burnt corpses, and the five hundred soldiers, with their noses covered, led by their generals, reached the bottom of the valley from the halfway point of the valley, and began to make up for the soldiers who had been burned to make sure that these people could not come back to life.

"Soldiers, act separately, all corpses must be patched with a knife, be fast." The general gave the order.

When the soldiers heard the order, they immediately dispersed, raised their weapons in their hands, and swung them at the dead corpses under their feet.

However, at this time, the embers in the valley had not yet burned out, and the soldiers who were roasted by the blazing flames were very uncomfortable, and the unpleasant smell emitted by a large number of charred corpses made the soldiers even more unbearable, for this reason, the soldiers were unwilling to strictly carry out the order, after all, in their eyes, these soldiers who fell to the ground were obviously already dead, and poking a hole in the dead man was obviously meaningless, and it was too cruel.

Under the domination of this mentality, these soldiers just waved their weapons at will, and did not follow the order to mend all the corpses.

"Soldiers, are you all done?" The general said loudly.

"General, there is no living mouth in the valley." A soldier shouted.

The general nodded, stretched out his hand, and led the soldiers under his command. Halfway up the mountain.

"Well, there's no living mouth down the valley!" Seeing that the general was returning, Yao Chang asked softly.

The general said: "The general can rest assured, the enemy army has been completely annihilated by our army, and there is absolutely no way to live." ”

Hearing this, Yao Chang nodded with satisfaction. looked at the soldiers under his command, and said loudly: "Pass the order, and the army will return to Beifeng City immediately." After speaking, he stepped on his war horse and ran in the direction of Beifeng City.

Two thousand soldiers followed behind Yao Chang and rushed towards Beifeng City, and by the time Yao Chang and his army arrived at Beifeng City, it was already completely dark.

At this time, Yao Xiang and his henchmen were all waiting for the return of Yao Chang's army at the city gate. Seeing Yao Chang's army returning, they were all greatly relieved.

"Well, is it all settled?" Seeing Yao Chang return to Beifeng City, Yao Xiang asked softly.

Yao Chang nodded and said softly: "Fifth brother, don't worry, everything has been done, and there is absolutely no one alive." ”

Hearing this, Yao Xiang nodded with satisfaction. looked at the soldiers under his command and said loudly: "The soldiers have worked hard. Return to camp to receive your reward. After speaking, he motioned for the 2,000-strong army to return to the camp.

When the soldiers heard the order, they were naturally very happy, and immediately ran in the direction of the camp.

At this time, Yao Xiang and all the generals under his command were very happy, since these 500 men and horses were wiped out by Shun Lì, they could play the banner of annihilating the enemy. In order to recruit the common people of Liaodong to join the army.

"General, since these 500 men and horses have been completely annihilated, our army will be able to recruit troops in Liaodong tomorrow." A subordinate general looked at Yao Xiang and said loudly.

"Yes! General, as long as our army plays the banner of avenging the people. It's sure to be easy to recruit a large number of soldiers. Another general said loudly.

Obviously, all the generals under Yao Xiang are a little impatient.

Yao Xiang nodded and said loudly: "Okay, generals, early tomorrow morning, you will go to various locations in Liaodong separately, thinking that the people will seek justice as a gimmick, and recruit troops in Liaodong." ”

"Yes, General." The ministers will lead with a loud voice.

Subsequently, Yao Xiang explained the specific plan of action, and asked his subordinates to strictly keep secrets and not to reveal the secrets of the five hundred soldiers and horses.

In the middle of the night, the embers in the valley had all been extinguished, but the corpses lying on the ground were not completely dead, several soldiers and a squad had just woken up, and struggled to get up, and gathered together with difficulty.

"Team Zheng, I'm alive, I'm alive." A soldier covered in blood said excitedly.

"Team, we have been betrayed, and it is our army that attacks us!" The other soldier said angrily.

The team looked at the soldiers who were still alive and said softly: "Brothers, Yao Xiang crossed the river and demolished the bridge, wanting to put us to death, and now that a few of us have survived, we must take revenge, and we must seek justice from Yao Xiang for the sake of the dead brothers." After speaking, there was a murderous aura in his eyes.

"Team Zheng, now there are only a few of us left, how can we get justice?" A soldier wiped the blood from the corner of his eye and said helplessly.

"Yes! The team is positive, we are weak, how can we seek justice? Another soldier said in despair.

The team pondered for a moment, looked at several wounded soldiers, and said: "Brothers, since Yao Xiang is unkind, we can't be blamed for being unjust, now, there are only a few of us left, with our strength, we will definitely not be able to get justice for the brothers who died unjustly, but if we use the strength of the Jin army, we will definitely be able to get justice." After speaking, he looked at the soldiers.

"What does the team mean is that we want our army to surrender to the Jin army?" A soldier, asked in a low voice.

"That's right, at this time, apart from taking refuge in the Jin army, do we have any other choice?" The team said affirmatively.

"Team, I agree."

"Team, I agree."

Several desperate soldiers all agreed to submit to Wang Wu's army.

Seeing that several soldiers all agreed to submit to Wang Wu, the team was greatly pleased, and said loudly: "Brothers, this is not a place to stay for a long time, we must leave as much as possible, come, we will help each other to leave here, first find a safe place to hide, and then surrender to the Jin army." ”

When several soldiers heard the order, they immediately nodded, and supported each other, and left the valley with difficulty, and took refuge in a dense forest, they planned to recuperate their injuries first, and then go to Wang Wu and expose Yao Xiang's conspiracy.

In order to attract more people from Liaodong to join the army, Yao Xiang played the card of hatred and affection, and said that the army under his command had completely annihilated the five hundred soldiers and horses under the command of Wang Wu, and said that as long as he Yao Xiang was there, the rights and interests of the people of Liaodong could be well protected.

Yao Xiang's move can be said to have achieved great success, under the persuasion of his soldiers, a large number of people in Liaodong have joined Yao Xiang's command, and gradually assembled, to Beifeng City.

Yao Xiang's army first annihilated five hundred bandits, and on this basis, they vigorously recruited troops, and such a large-scale operation naturally could not hide from the scouts sent by Wang Wu.

After learning of these news, the scout immediately returned to Nanguan City as quickly as possible, and reported these situations to Wang Wu, so that Wang Wu could prepare for the response in advance.

Wang Wu heard that Yao Xiang's army annihilated five hundred evil bandits, his heart couldn't help but be shocked, he originally predicted that these five hundred bandits were Yao Xiang's soldiers and horses, but now, these five hundred soldiers and horses were wiped out by Yao Xiang's army, this is really strange, is the original speculation wrong, but in Liaodong, except for the soldiers and horses under Yao Xiang's command, other people and horses cannot have the equipment of the Jin army, which makes Wang Wu a little puzzled anyway.

"General, most of these five hundred bandits are the soldiers and horses under Yao Xiang's command, but how could Yao Xiang completely annihilate the soldiers and horses under his command? Could it be that our previous analysis was all wrong? One of the generals frowned.

Obviously, he couldn't figure out such a question, after all, no matter how ruthless Yao Xiang was, he shouldn't have annihilated the soldiers and horses under his command.

"General, maybe we are really wrong in our analysis, the main army of Yan has fought against the main force of our army many times, and has also defeated our army, so the soldiers and horses of Yan should also have the armor and weapons of our army." A subordinate general said softly.

Wang Wu nodded slightly, looked at his subordinates, and said: "Do you think that the five hundred soldiers and horses pretending to be our army are the soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom, but if they are really the soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom, how can they rob the property of the people of the Yan Kingdom so cruelly?" After all, they were all recruited from the people of Yan Kingdom, even if they wanted to blame our army, they didn't have to be so cruel, right? ”

Obviously, Wang Wu still felt that the five hundred bandits should not be the soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom.

"What the general means, these five hundred destroyed bandits are not the soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom, so where should they be?" One of the generals asked softly.

Wang Wu pondered for a moment, and said: "The general still thinks that these five hundred bandits are the soldiers and horses under Yao Xiang, but Yao Xiang has already destroyed these five hundred soldiers and horses, which makes the general a little puzzled in his heart!" What is the secret in this, Ben will also want to know! After speaking, he looked at his subordinates.

"General, no matter where these 500 soldiers and horses come from, the black cauldron that killed the people of Liaodong, we have made our backs!" A subordinate general said helplessly.

"Yes! General, all the people of Liaodong are actively joining Yao Xiang's command, which is not good news for our army! Another general said loudly.

Obviously, the reason why these Liaodong people actively joined Yao Xiang's command was entirely because Yao Xiang led his army to annihilate 500 bandits and pointed the spearhead at Wang Wu.

"Report, general, there are several soldiers outside the city who claim to be under Yao Xiang's command, asking to meet the general." At this moment, a colonel entered the big tent of the Chinese army and reported loudly. (To be continued......)
