The general is wise and mighty

The people took away the bodies of their relatives and left with gratitude.

An Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it's not particularly difficult, even if it can't achieve the previous effect, at least it makes them less resistant to the Chu army, and they are willing to listen to Xiong Xin or Xiang Ji instead of Tian Rong and Tian Heng .

An Sheng deliberately stayed in Yiwei for a while, during which time he received news from Zhang Liang and Han Cheng respectively.

Zhang Liang said that the Han army was very capable. Although they went to fight, the number of the Han army far exceeded the previous estimate. According to visual estimation, it should be nearly 15, which is basically three times the Chu army led by Zhang Liang.So let An Sheng go south quickly after getting the Qi land, and fight against the Han army together.

What Han Cheng brought was not bad news, the new King of Han was willing to send troops, and let Han Cheng lead him to join Zhang Liang.However, the King of Han had just arrived in Han, so he didn't send many troops, but it was still better than nothing.

"Military division!" The sophomore hurried over and barged in.

"What?" An Sheng hadn't seen a sophomore so flustered several times.

"Tian Heng ran away!" The sophomore moved closer to An Sheng's ear.

"What?!" An Sheng was shocked, "Isn't it locked up well? How could he escape?!"

The sophomore spread his hands: "The little soldier guarding him was knocked out, and he still hasn't woken up yet, and the people inside are gone."

"Hurry up and notify the people on the city gate and the city wall, step up the guards, and don't let anyone in or out! And—" An Sheng rushed to the place where Tian Heng was being held, and told the sophomore, "When will you find that no one is missing? of?"

The sophomore immediately asked An Sheng to do it, and answered An Sheng's question by himself: "I got up this morning and delivered the meal, I'm sure he's there." Then he followed An Sheng closely to ensure his safety and to be able to deal with some emergencies .

An Sheng rushed over to see that the soldier at the door had been taken away for treatment, the big lock that locked the door was forcibly hacked open, and the straw poles spread inside the house were still in their original condition, always messy.

There was no clue for An Sheng to find out. At this time, the gate guards sent news that no one had left the city at any of the city gates during this period, and there were no suspicious people wandering around the city walls.

"It must be still in Yiwei..." An Sheng murmured, "Let's go!"

"Military division, that field..." The sophomore wanted to speak anxiously, but An Sheng gave him a wink and swallowed the words again.

An Sheng knew who he wanted to ask, but Tian Rong—An Sheng was absolutely sure that no one would rescue him.

"Xiang Xiaoji!" An Sheng shouted angrily.

Xiang Ji had nothing to do, so he led the soldiers to find an open space and started to practice. He didn't know that Tian Heng was not under the control of the Chu army.

Xiang Ji was really pleasantly surprised to see An Sheng come to see him, and ran over in three steps at a time: "Daughter-in-law!"

An Sheng patted his arm: "Let everyone call all the city residents and gather here. Now, immediately."

Of course, Xiang Ji followed suit. After gathering everyone, he assigned tasks in the streets and alleys, and then asked An Sheng, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

An Sheng shook his head: "I'm too kind to them, I think I'm a bully."

Xiang Ji frowned and slapped his chest: "Who dares to bully the general's wife?! The general beat him!"

An Sheng glanced at him, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I'll have a chance soon."

"Really?" Xiang Ji didn't expect An Sheng to be willing to beat the common people so soon, and he hasn't reacted yet.

"Someone rescued Tian Heng." An Sheng told him the reason, "Find out who it is, and kill the chicken for the monkey to see."

"Ah?! What about Tian Rong?" Xiang Ji didn't expect such a thing to happen.

An Sheng shook his head: "No problem."

Xiang Ji breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. So we need to find out who rescued Tian Heng?"

An Sheng nodded, his eyes fell not far away, and he could already see a villager coming over and standing still in the open space.

After all the villagers arrived, An Sheng asked Long Qie to take a roll of names according to the roster, making sure that everyone was present before he began to speak.

"I'm sorry for calling everyone in such a hurry to let you all put down your work and come here to gather. First of all, I'm very sorry, and at the same time thank you very much." An Sheng bent slightly, as if to express his apology.

"However, the gathering here is not from me, or Chu Jun, but from one of you—" An Sheng expected that there would be discussions in the audience after these words, but he didn't make people quiet either. Instead, he quietly waited for the people to stop talking.

After a while, when silence returned, An Sheng spoke again.

"I believe everyone knows that the two rebel leaders Tian Heng and Tian Rong are in our hands, but today, I discovered a very strange thing—" An Sheng deliberately paused to ensure that everyone's attention was on him. Go on, "Tian Heng is gone, and a soldier was injured and still unconscious. I am not saying that Tian Heng's escape is a great loss to us, but it is just a matter of fighting a few more battles, but the one who was beaten Wounded soldiers, and soldiers who will be injured in possible wars, he—they also have parents, and perhaps children. Maybe their bodies cannot be returned to their relatives. I believe these people’s feelings at that time You also understand. Therefore, I don’t want to pursue the claim that someone helped the rebel leader, I just want to seek justice for our brothers, that’s all.”

After An Sheng finished speaking, the audience was silent, no one spoke, and some even wiped away their tears.

"So, does anyone want to tell me the details—the truth?" An Sheng stated his purpose.

There was a long silence in the audience, no one answered An Sheng's question.

The sophomore came to the stage quietly and whispered something in An Sheng's ear, An Sheng nodded to show that he understood.Then he glanced around blankly, and said, "I just got the news that the little soldier in his hand has already..."

A sharp voice from the audience interrupted An Sheng's words - "I know!"

An Sheng followed the voice and looked towards the source. It was a young woman, squatting on the ground covering her ears.

An Sheng waved his hand, signaling to bring her over, and then asked, "You know?"

The woman nodded, with tears in her eyes: "My brother died in this war, they... they divided him up, ate... ate him!"

An Sheng's face twitched violently. He didn't expect to hear such a sentence, and he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"But I... my man, he still wants to do things for Tian Rong! It's him! It's him! He rescued that Tian Heng this morning!" The woman pointed at a man in the crowd angrily, then turned her head to the candle, yes Arm, "The man is in my house now, begging master must catch him again..."

An Sheng nodded, and patted the woman's arm to express comfort: "Don't worry, we have captured him again."

"Really?" The woman, with tears still on her face, stared at An Sheng with wide eyes.

An Sheng nodded, and said: "When you all gathered here, we sent people to search through our organization—please forgive me, we have captured Tian Heng again. Bring it up!"

As soon as An Sheng waved, the freshman took Tian Heng by the back collar and led him onto the stage. Tian Heng's arms were tied behind his back, so tight that he couldn't move.

Someone erected a big wooden stake, and then freshman tied Tian Heng to the stake with a rope.

An Sheng pointed to Tian Heng and said to the people in the audience: "Now, Tian Heng is here. I hope everyone can look at him together. If we deduct rations, we can make up for it. Go, and no more innocent people will be hurt."

An Sheng looked around, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "But there is another good news, the soldier has woken up, and he just needs to rest for a long time, please worry about it."

"Military division, Tian Rong has already brought here." The sophomore came to An Sheng again and said this sentence.

An Sheng nodded: "Tie it to another pillar."

Soon, Tian Rong finally saw the sun. For the past few days, he had been staying in the wooden cabinet in An Sheng's house, and he would only send it in when eating. When he was in a hurry, someone blindfolded him and took him to the corner. After solving the problem, put it back in the cabinet again.

An Sheng stood next to Tian Rong, looked at him quietly for a while, then sneered, and turned to everyone: "An Sheng personally thinks that it should be Tian Rong who was rescued this time, but he couldn't find where he is. Is it?"

The man who was confessed by his wife had already been brought onto the stage by the junior.

The man refused to admit defeat at all, with a stiff neck, he glared at An Sheng: "Yes! If you let me know where King Qi is, he would have been sent out of the city long ago. How could he end up in such a situation?!"

An Sheng shook his head: "Look, it's because of your own lack of ability, you can't blame others, right?"

After listening to An Sheng's words, the junior immediately took him away.Just kidding, keep it to make the military division angry?This is not our Chu army's style of conduct.

After staying in Yiwei for another three or five days, An Sheng received a second letter from Zhang Liang, saying that he was attacking the Han army back and forth with the Han army and won a small victory, but the situation was still not optimistic, even Xiang Ji knew Very clear.

"We won because Liu Bang didn't know that Han Cheng was going back, so he wasn't prepared at all. Now that we have it, it must be difficult to fight." Xiang Ji also analyzed clearly.

"Not bad." An Sheng nodded, "Enjoy your saliva."

Xiang Ji's shoulders slumped: "Is there no wine?"

An Sheng smiled: "You still want to drink? It would be nice to have some saliva."

Xiang Ji thought for a while, then opened his mouth and said with a smirk: "Yes, it's good to have saliva." Then he rushed over to hold An Sheng down, and exchanged saliva very happily.

An Sheng rolled his eyes and shouted in his heart: It's a mouthful of water!Not drool!

But Xiang Ji was completely unmoved, saying that such a reward is still very much in line with the general's wishes.

An Sheng finally pushed Xiang Ji away, and wiped his face with his sleeve: "Speak business!"

"The general is talking about business." Xiang Ji looked innocent, obviously it was his wife who led him astray.

An Sheng narrowed his eyes.

Xiang Ji immediately sat upright, with a serious face: "Well, enough trouble, let's get down to business."

An Sheng finally sat up, and straightened his somewhat messy clothes: "We can't wait in Yiwei any longer, we are willing to stay with Xiong Xin, if we don't want to persuade them again, or we can take them away."

Soon, An Sheng stood in front of all the citizens of Yiwei City again, with Tian Hengtian Rong standing on both sides behind him, one on each side, who was already tied up and almost died of exhaustion.

An Sheng waved his sleeves: "My Chu army has been stationed here for many days. I believe that everyone has witnessed the performance and attitude of the soldiers. Therefore, it is also time to ask that sentence—are you willing to return with my righteous emperor?" Under the rule of Chu State, or still follow these two traitors?"

No one in the audience spoke, An Sheng was a little impatient, and there would be a quarrel below if he said something, and no one spoke to him when it was really a big deal.

"Now is the time for you to make a decision. If you follow my country of Chu, stand on the east side; otherwise, stand on the west side; if you don't move, you will be the one to be dealt with first!" Speak harshly.

Finally, people began to move slowly. Most people chose to stand on the east side, but there were still a few people who stood firmly on the west side, and there were no people in the middle.

An Sheng stared at the few people standing on the west side for a while, and took note of their appearance. They were basically men. It seems that Qi Guo has done a good job in attracting labor.

At this time, a person raised his foot and wanted to go east, An Sheng frowned, and the sophomore immediately went over to stop him: "What are you doing?!"

"I——I would like to follow the state of Chu and stand to the east." The man laughed along with him, nodding and bowing repeatedly.

The sophomore looked at An Sheng, An Sheng shook his head slightly, expressing his disapproval.

The man was startled and said angrily: "Why, can it be that I have to abandon the darkness and turn to the light?"

An Sheng shook his head: "It's not impossible, but do you think——do you believe me? Who knows if you're going to come among the people to encourage everyone to defect to Qi again, and the Chu army's military advisers aren't that stupid."

Xiang Ji took a step forward: "Yingbu, Lao Pu, take these people away. The rest can go."

The people dispersed in twos and threes, only a few family members of those who were taken away were still unwilling to leave.

An Sheng walked over and asked, "What else?"

The women said: "Please ask the military commander to spare their lives, let us persuade them, maybe it will work."

With a smile on his lips, An Sheng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. If you can persuade me, how can you not succeed in more than half a month? If this matter succeeds, I'm afraid it will be the same situation as An Sheng just said. Please forgive me."

"Then—can you return their bodies to us?" A woman asked boldly.

An Sheng smiled a little: "What did Madam say, I didn't intend to deal with them at first, but just continued eastward with the army. If all goes well, you and I can meet them again this year."

The women were overjoyed: "Really?"

An Sheng smiled and nodded.

The women quickly thanked each other and walked away with their arms.

"Do you really want to take it?" Xiang Ji asked An Sheng, "There are several extra rations."

"Who asks who wants it." An Sheng quickly gave a solution, "On the way, see if we can win him over, and we can't talk anymore."

"Daughter-in-law, the general can do what you don't want to do." Xiang Ji was suddenly very solemn.

An Sheng looked into Xiang Ji's eyes, still the four of himself, and suddenly smiled: "I want to try."
