Chapter 918 Soldiers' tricks

Xie Ai's words made everyone's eyes light up.

Yes, even without talking about the past, the performance of the Huainan Army in this battle alone is enough to make people terrified.This has nothing to do with whether the soldiers are brave or not, but a completely different level of fighting.

These people here are originally part of Yedi's army, and they more or less understand the strength of the opponent.Even if they haven't surrendered yet, ask yourself, how many similar battles can they last?
Thinking of this, everyone felt very fortunate, at least right now they no longer need to face the mighty Huainan Army, but are on the same front.And just as Xie Ai said, originally a lowly scholar, after the first battle in Ji County, he will become famous all over the world.Including Governor Shen of Huainan, many generals in Huainan have only become famous and known to the world in recent years.

An army like the Huainan Army can be said to be the dream of all generals.With such a strong army in hand, why not create achievements?In the past, they felt that their fortunes were not good, and they sat and watched so many ugly people screaming proudly in the world. Now that the opportunity is in front of them, can they grasp it?
Thinking of this, everyone's expressions became eager, who dared to fight for survival in troubled times, who would be willing to be mediocre?In previous years, either because of lack of luck or lack of strength, they could only be reduced to a dolphin dog guarding the country, trapped in a corner.

But now, the Huainan army is coming, showing a strong combat effectiveness, while Hebei Shizhao is still divided and fighting on their own.Which side is more promising, needless to say.They may not be able to ride the wind and waves and rise according to the situation. Whether they can beat the world in the future depends on today's choice!

While the others were still pondering, Wang Guang, who was determined to follow the Huainan Army, had already left the table and bowed down. He said in an excited tone: "Born into the blood of Zhu Xia, I always hated being reduced to Hu Zhi. It's only because of mediocrity and weak strength." For fear of causing disaster to the native land, he did not dare to kill the Hu. Now Wang Shi is coming to the north to beat up the Hu captives and strengthen the blood of the Jin people. Born to be lowly, death is not a pity!"

"Well said!"

Xie Ai heard this in the banquet, clapped his hands and applauded the general.

Encouraged by this, Wang Guang became even more passionate: "Although the last general has no benevolence and bravery to boast about, he is by no means a self-deprecating person. He begs for a knife and a bow to kill the thief for Wang Shizhuang! Even if he dies in battle, with this I command you to tell the world that the people of Hebei are by no means willing to be depraved and become thieves, if the king ordered benevolence and righteousness to call, the people in the wild will rise up to respond!"

As soon as the person's voice fell, the rest of them also got up and bowed down one after another, echoing loudly.

Seeing this, Xie Ai felt that this Wang Guang was really a talent. As a subjugated general, he was only one end, and the current rhetoric seemed to put himself in a high position of benevolence and righteousness, and the little general made his own army .If he didn't give Wang Guang the power to arm Xiangyong, there would inevitably be a gap between them.

But not to mention that Xie Ai does not have such power, even if he does, it is impossible to be unable to deal with it after a few words.

"The lords and other sages of the village, although they have long lost their kingship due to recklessness, they can still stand out with benevolence and righteousness, and have a heroic mind. It is really admirable. If it weren't for the fact that there are still people who look up to you to govern the country and the people, I really want to recommend you immediately. Under the tent of the governor, if the governor can hear the strong voice of this local accent, he must be very pleased!"

What Xie Ai said here is to tell these people to be at ease, and it is temporarily impossible to obtain armed forces in the name of organizing village bravery.

However, since these people have this idea, Xie Ai did not completely reject it, and ordered people to display the Hebei surrender letters sent by the governor before, and said with a smile: "There are many loyal people in Hebei, so why bother?" Take life as proof. Since Master Wang went to the north, there have been many old villagers who have written and expressed sincerity. People, I would like to ask you to express condolences to these villagers, and ask them to be safe and calm, the time for salvation is not far away."

Everyone sorted these letters for a while, and after seeing the signed names, they were also surprised for a while.Among these letters, there are [-] or [-] names involved, accounting for almost half of the famous military leaders in Yedi!Among them are even some mighty sects such as Hejian Xing, Guangping You, and Yangping Zhang. These nobles alone have controlled and influenced Yedi's army numbering tens of thousands!
After reading all the surrender letters, these people were also vigilant, shocked and emotional.Originally, as generals, they would feel a little bit depressed and embarrassed when they thought about their status, but at least they chose to surrender because of the disadvantage of the war.

Unexpectedly, these big tycoons in Ye had no bottom line. Right now, Shi Kan was only at a slight disadvantage, and the two sides were even in a state of confrontation, so they hurriedly cooperated with the enemy and planned to leave a way out.This ability to see the wind and steer the rudder has surpassed them. No wonder some people can become stronger and stronger even though they are also in troubled times.

At the same time, these people also have a lot of sense of crisis in their hearts.Wang Shijiu lived in Hebei for a long time, and if he wanted to operate in Hebei during the Northern Expedition, he must attract some village sects for use.Originally, they had the advantage of being the first to vote, but helplessly, they did not have the advantage compared with those wealthy families in Ye. If those people really voted, it would undoubtedly squeeze their room for improvement.

"It is good for the people in Hebei to welcome Master Wang, but, but..."

After pondering for a while, Wang Guang put on a gesture of hesitation.

"Your Majesty has something to say, you might as well speak it out."

Xie Ai said with a smile after seeing this.

"The last general also boldly stated that he was worried that Wang Shisheng would be taken advantage of by traitors. For example, Zhang Lu in Yangping, although his family called themselves Hua, but in fact they had already mixed with Jie Zhang. Shi Shilong first fought in Hebei, and his family tried their best to help. Now The thieves such as Zhang raccoon and Zhang Jack in Jiezhong treat each other as relatives with his furniture..."

Wang Guang pondered and said, it's not malicious slander, he wants to eliminate potential opponents.He intends to work for Huainan for a long time, and playing this kind of cleverness is just making fun of his own life and future.

After Xie Ai heard the words, he nodded slightly, and asked people to pick out the surrender letter of the Zhang family in Yangping, and asked some details about his family's collusion with Jiehu, and then said with a smile: "The way of deceit can last long!"

The reason why he put these letters out is to use these Hebei locals to screen them a little bit, and to distinguish which of them are deliberate surrenders.After all, Jiehu was powerful in the early years, and Jin people were suppressed all the way to the south of the Huai River, so they were really unfamiliar with Hebei's nostalgia.

Even if more than half of them were fraudulent surrenders, this will not damage the majesty of the Huainan Army. It shows that the strength of the Huainan Army has brought huge pressure to the enemy, and they have no confidence in the decisive victory on the frontal battlefield. .

These generals probably also guessed Xie Ai's intentions, and all of them spoke out one after another, picking out the village clan families who had too deep collusion with Jiehu and had problems. too much.

This sort of selection actually made them feel a strange pleasure in their hearts.Although they were all the military leaders of the Yedi lineage before, the military leaders of Ji County were originally marginalized.

Now they rely on the Huainan Army to choose which one is credible and which one is not. It is quite a pleasure to decide life and death with one word, especially when most of the selected objects are people they need to look up to before.

While listening to these people's suggestions, Xie Ai asked someone to sort out a new list.Of course, he wouldn't believe all of these people, and the list he sorted out was somewhat larger.The list compiled in this way has been greatly reduced. In the eyes of these Hebei locals, there are still more than a dozen people who have the possibility of surrender and are worth wooing.

Of course, these generals cannot be required to be completely objective. There must be selfishness in this.But to Xie Ai, this is not a serious problem.

After the list was sorted out, he ordered these generals to send people to contact them separately. If they could recruit those people, it would be considered a great achievement.Moreover, if those people surrendered under such circumstances, their armaments would definitely be preserved, and they would be digested slowly in the future, and they would not be disarmed immediately.

This can be regarded as responding to the demands of those surrendered generals from the side. Of course, the armed forces they recruited to surrender can each retain a certain amount of influence.

These measures are not clear instructions from the governor, but Xie Ai also understands that since the governor sent these surrender letters to him, he must also hope that he can make a little fuss in this regard.Moreover, the governor himself didn't know much about the situation in Hebei, so he was given the power to act cheaply.

In addition to ordering these generals to separately contact those Yedi army leaders who might surrender, Xie Ai also planned to spread all the surrender lists.Although he himself laughed and said that those false surrenders were just tricks, but in fact he used his own troops in a rather weird style.

Especially at the moment when the commander-in-chief is leading the army to confront Shi Kan across the river, facing each other magnificently. He is a side battlefield here. There is nothing, if you can succeed, you can get a miraculous effect.
