historical royal courier

Chapter 180 Wrong place?
"Stand up for me, stand up, stand up quickly, our Highness is coming soon, if you people dare to be disrespectful or have any strange thoughts, be careful that we will kill you."

Chase up all the captives who were sitting, squatting, or lying on the ground, and these family soldiers immediately stood beside them with knives and stared at them, fearing that someone would be dishonest.

"C'mon, a group of bandits with better weapons actually dare to call you Your Highness without shame."

Although he thought so in his heart, Wang Zhi didn't say it out loud. After all, saving his own life was obviously more important than complaining.

"Approximately how many people did we capture?"

Walking on the road, looking at a group of Jin soldiers standing together with their heads down, Li Chengqian asked his quartermaster.

There is no way, the quartermaster is responsible for food and grass, so it is the most sensitive position to the number of troops, so it is right to ask him.

"Reporting to Your Highness, although the opponent has 4000 people this time, it is not full. After this battle, in addition to the six or seven hundred casualties, about 1000 people fled into the forest, so the number of prisoners here is not enough. two thousand."

It is quite normal for these veterans in the army to eat empty pay. General Niu Jinniu, who has only been on the scene for a while, is quite kind. He is not short of thousands of soldiers, but he just secretly Only a few hundred.

"It's not bad if it's less than [-]. Go and find a few flexible people in our team and ask them to persuade the [-] soldiers to surrender. Tell them, how many people are persuaded to surrender, then they are officials. Those who have been persuaded to surrender will be their subordinates in the future, as for the others who cannot be persuaded to surrender, let them go directly."

Li Chengqian is becoming more and more proficient in these methods of driving people away with profit.

As long as they know that the more they persuade to surrender, the greater their official position will be, then they will burst out [-]% of their efforts to persuade Jin Bing to surrender.

This is the same as the companies in later generations who sell products with a commission. If the salesman is paid a dead salary, then everyone will have no interest in doing it, because the salary is so little anyway, but after knowing that they are getting a commission, the person who works Will definitely go the extra mile.

"Your Highness, let the captives go directly. Would this be letting the tiger go back to the mountain? And after they go back, they will definitely leak information from our side."

Wang Li didn't have any other opinions on persuading Wang Li to surrender, but Wang Li felt that it was inappropriate to put the person back as he was. He might as well just learn from Lord Wu An and just dig a hole where he was buried.

"Don't worry, even if they leak our news after they go back, so what, I hope they can go back and make a big publicity, saying that they were defeated by us with four thousand soldiers and horses. Let's make a name for ourselves, shall we?"

When Li Chengqian came here, he said that he would not consider the idea of ​​accumulating food widely and becoming king slowly. What he wanted was to crush the world in one fell swoop like a scourge.

The previous few days were just laying a foundation. Now that the foundation has been laid, and the follow-up army is coming one after another, of course it is time to start attacking the city.

Therefore, Li Chengqian already has a target for the next battle, which is Luyang County at the foot of the mountain!

"Impossible, impossible, did Niu Jin grow up eating shit? Ah! Four thousand people can't beat a group of bandits that just appeared, how did Niu Jin become a general! Who is he? Recommended, this official will execute him!"

Hearing the roar in the room, the servant standing outside was immediately suppressed by the idea of ​​exchanging a few words. Yesterday, a maid smiled a few words while walking on the road because she got a reward from the madam, and was noticed by the prefect. Arrived, at night the maid disappeared inexplicably.

"My lord, please calm down. According to those who escaped, this time it was because there was a very powerful hidden weapon on the other side. General Niu was assassinated by the other side as soon as he met him, and then our soldiers were defeated by the other side. .”

"Hidden weapon, you know that the other party has a hidden weapon, but you don't know how to hide it? Is his surname Niu really as stupid as Niu?"

"..."

Sima Nan's counselor didn't continue to speak. His own superior was obviously confused. How could Niu Jin know that there was a hidden weapon on the other side, but the superior's mistake cannot be said. After all, Sima Nan is his bread and butter, so he can't make him angry.

"Sir, sir, news just came from Luyang County that the bandits on the mountain have begun to attack the city!"

"What, starting to attack the city?"

Sima Nan hurriedly ran out of the room to receive the messenger's letter, glanced at it and immediately turned to ask his counselor.

"Ma Feng, how many troops do we have in Luyang County?"

"Reporting to the prefect, we only have 500 troops in Luyang County."

"Then what should we do? We only have 2000 people, but the other party has about [-] people! What should we do!"

According to those who escaped, the opponent had two thousand-man phalanxes when they formed the formation. Luyang County had 500 troops. How could it be defended?

When I thought that if I lost the county seat, Jin Yao would definitely target me at the Sima Mansion Banquet eight days later, and when Sima Xiangguo's new official took office, he would just take advantage of himself, a guy who made mistakes, and Sima Nan His face turned white.

If someone didn't operate well this time, he might not be able to save his life. Although his surname is Sima, he is from Sima Zhong's branch. How could Sima Lun let him go?

"Prefect, in fact, we have other ways."

"any solution?"

Hearing that there was a way to save himself, Sima Nan immediately seemed to grasp the last straw.

"Prefect, although there is no one in Luyang County, you can see where Luyang County is and what is around it."

Ma Feng is well aware of the number of soldiers and horses distributed in various counties, after all, this is his own effort to eat.

"Location, what location, show me."

Taking out a map, Ma Feng carefully explained it to Sima Nan, but Sima Nan, who was terrified just now, showed a proud smile on his face.

Hahahaha, I didn't expect them to bump into this place. It seems that these bandits are real rookies!

"Pass me an order to get the whole army to act. Today, I will clear up this cancer for Dajin in one fell swoop."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it."

After Ma Feng left, Sima Nan sat in his seat and began to eat pastries, and even had the leisure to tease his maid.

I heard that Niu Jinxin's concubine looks good, but Niu Jin has no luck, so why don't I help him.

As for the bandits, hehe, these bandits have their way in heaven, if you don’t leave, there is no way to break in from hell!
