Chapter 120: Coercion

***

Qin Mu's trick against Wang Yuncheng is not clever, and his predecessors have already used it, but this does not mean that this trick will not work.

Wang Yuncheng's men and horses are promiscuous, military discipline is corrupt, and he sees the gold and silver treasures scattered all over the ground, and in that case, it is tantamount to a fantasy to want them to "leave no stone unturned".

Qin Mu's trick of "leaving no stone unturned" can be said to be tailor-made for Wang Yuncheng, and the effect is self-evident, in addition to the seven or eight hundred people who were slashed on the spot, he captured three thousand Wang troops in one fell swoop, and only three or five hundred people could escape.

And Qin Mu's casualty figures, even he was embarrassed to say, except for two unlucky guys, one knocked down, two front teeth were honorably laid off, and one fell while chasing the enemy and broke a leg, except for one of them, no one died in battle. Even Qin Mu could hardly believe the casualty figures reported by his subordinates.

You say, how can he be embarrassed to say such a casualty figure? If he says it, others may say how he bullies people.

Looking at the three thousand captives who were kneeling on the ground, Qin Mu had a headache, and he couldn't come up with a proper treatment plan for a while.

These people have become promiscuous, and they want them to change their minds and start anew, in one word, it is difficult! Therefore, Qin Mu did not plan to co-opt these people.

And now that Qin Mu may see the opportunity to turn to war at any time, it is useless to keep these three thousand captives, but to become a burden, and he does not have much food to waste on three thousand people.

If they are all killed, Qin Mu is not afraid that others will say that he is tyrannical, but the official of Ganzhou Soldier Beidao has not yet obtained the seal letter, and at this time, Wang Yuncheng, who killed prisoners and fled back, and Wu Xueli, who actually controlled the 80,000 left army, will not give up.

They will definitely put pressure on Lu Daqi, not to mention the official seal letter, in order to appease the 80,000 left army, Lu Daqi may even add a crime to himself, which is for Qin Mu. It is a loss-making transaction.

But just let these 3,000 people go, don't say that Qin Mu is unwilling, and it's also very inappropriate, this battle has an element of tricks, not a victory in the face of the drum and the gong, once these 3,000 people are put back, they will soon have a dissatisfied, even if they immediately turn back to find trouble, it is not surprising.

Encountering such a problem, Qin Mu missed Sima An a little, and it seemed that there were still too few talents under him. When you encounter a difficult problem, it is difficult to find someone to discuss with you.

There was also a Zhang Zai next to him who kept screaming in Qin Mu's ears like a fly, begging Qin Mu again and again to let him bring these three thousand captives back to Yuanzhou to ease the contradictions between the two sides.

Before Qin Mu could speak, Ling Zhan couldn't help it, and put the big knife on Zhang Zai's neck, and said murderously: "Damn, surnamed Zhang, when we are easy to talk, right?" Wang Yuncheng, the birdman, came to attack us first. Why didn't you try to persuade him then, and now you want us to release the captives to please him, I'm sorry! Wang Yuncheng is a dog that eats, and Wu Xueli is a pig. If they dare to come again, see that Lao Tzu still slaughtered them and drank wine, surnamed Zhang, and those who knew each other should go back quickly. Let Lu Daqi reward us for our great merit in recapturing Yuanzhou, otherwise, Lao Tzu will call Yuanzhou himself and ask him for it. ”

The skin on Jang Jae's neck was cut. Blood beads dripped down, and he was so frightened that he said repeatedly: "This general, if you have something to say, didn't my family supervisor promise you about the reward?" Lord Qin, Lord Qin"

Qin Mu ignored Zhang Zai's call, he walked up to a captive and asked in a good moment, "What's your name?" ”

The captive replied in a trembling voice, "Zhao Zhaowei." ”

"Zhao Wei is." Qin Mu then pointed to a captive beside Zhao Wei and asked, "Do you know him?" ”

"Acquaintance."

"Do you know how many women he has raped and how many people he has killed?"

"I don't know"

"I don't know this, what do I want you to do?"

Boom! The giant sword Huo Ran came out of its sheath, and Ling Guang slashed down, only to hear "Poof!" With a bang, Zhao Wei's head suddenly rolled down four or five feet away, the blood-spraying corpse slowly fell, and the kneeling captives around were suddenly in chaos, some just stood up, and were immediately shot into hedgehogs by powerful arrows, and the rest saw the opportunity quickly, and quickly fell to the ground again, begging for mercy.

Qin Mu stepped forward again, pointed his sword at a captive and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Hu Hu Er."

"Do you know who this person is next to you?"

"Acquaintance."

"Do you know how many women he has raped and how many people he has killed?"

"The villain knows that his name is Hong Chao, and the villain saw him rape a total of eight times, one of which was a three-year-old girl, and killed no less than 20 people."

"Very good, Hu Er, are you willing to avenge the people who died in vain?"

"Little Man"

"Huh? You don't want to? ”

"No, no, no, the villain willing."

"Very good, Yijin, give him a knife."

The captive next to him was so frightened that he shouted repeatedly: "My lord, he is spewing blood, I didn't rape, I didn't kill anyone, he raped more than me, killed more than me, my lord"

"Huh? You said that he raped more women than you and killed more people than you, which means that you admit that you raped women and killed people, but it is just a question of who has more and who has less. ”

"This lord spares his life! Adults spare their lives."

"If the ruler spares you, who spares the people who were killed? Hu Er, what are you waiting for? ”

****

In the yali of Yuanzhou Mansion, the heralds went in and out, and the horses came and went, and it was a tense battle scene.

In the lobby, Lu Daqi, Jiangxi General Xu Kaijin, Wu Xueli and several of his important generals gathered in front of the map, arguing fiercely about the upcoming war.

Xu Kaijin is in his forties, his appearance is mediocre, his hands are full of calluses, he only brought 9,000 men and horses this time, but he is a tough main battle faction, only to hear him say: "Although Zhang Xianzhong is called 200,000 people, most of them are the rebellious people of Xinna, and the combat power must not be strong, and now it must be tired from afar, our army just took advantage of its unstable foothold, took the initiative to attack, and defeated him in one fell swoop."

"Mr. Xu is full of confidence, but I want to remind you that faith is not enough to eat." Wu Xueli's left battalion general Chen Peizhu refuted disdainfully, "Zhang Xianzhong is tired from afar, isn't our army tired when he comes from Jiujiang?" Since General Xu has the chance to win, why not bring his own men and horses to meet Zhang Xianzhong. ”

"You" Zuo Jun burned and plundered all the way, Xu Kaijin had long been unpleasant, and his heart was even more angry when he heard Chen Peizhu's words, but the situation was stronger than people, and he put together only 9,000 people, how dare he fight Zhang Xianzhong's 200,000 army;

Helplessly, Xu Kaijin had to turn to Lu Daqi and said: "Supervisor, if we don't take the initiative to attack, Zhang Xianzhong's 200,000 army will be able to kill under Yuanzhou City unimpeded. ”

Lu Daqi is not a military idiot, he was the governor of Gansu back then, had won several big victories, had a certain strategic vision, knew that Xu Kaijin's words were very reasonable, so he said to Wu Xueli: "General Wu, it is really inappropriate for us to be trapped in Yuanzhou, it is better to do this, the terrain of Laohukou ten miles west of Yuanzhou is dangerous, General Wu first led 50,000 troops into Laohukou, and then marched into battle and retreated, Zaijian machine acted, so as to avoid Yuanzhou being besieged, and could be the support of Laohukou." What does General Wu think? ”

Unlike Lu Daqi, who is nearly fifty years old and has two temples with slight spots, Wu Xueli is in the prime of life, less than thirty-seven years old, although his name is Xueli, but he has lived for thirty-seven years, but he has never known what "etiquette" is, and his face is full of ruffians;

But seeing that he replied while picking at his nose: "Inspector Lu, this month's salary has not been paid so far, and now the soldiers can't eat enough, and then let them guard the tiger's mouth, and Zhang Xianzhong's 200,000 army is desperate, I'm afraid no one will be happy." ”

This is naked coercion, even if Lu Daqi is good at forbearance, he can't help but be full of anger, a cold light in his eyes flashed, and his face said without a trace: "General Wu rest assured, the matter of food and salary, this official will raise it as soon as possible, now that the army of Zhang thieves is approaching, the war is imminent, and I hope that General Wu can focus on the overall situation, otherwise once Yuanzhou is surrounded, none of us will be able to please him." ”

Wu Xueli smiled, and was about to say more, when he saw Wang Yuncheng rushing in in embarrassment
