Chapter 363 Do We Really Want to Accept the Imperial Court's Order?

"Okay everyone."

Li Dezhen slowed down for a long time, then looked at the high-ranking army in the audience and said: "Okay, this is what happened. The county lord takes pity on everyone and helps you bear this eternal infamy. I hope that everyone will not let the county lord down. After a lot of painstaking work, I still say that, what we eat is the food of the people of Lantian, and we are soldiers of the people of Lantian. We are guarding Lantian County. Whether this foreign enemy is Zhang Xianzhong's bandit army, refugees, or someone else, as long as they don't want us to live a good life, they are our enemies and must be eliminated."

"I know that you are in a bad mood to let you massacre the refugees. I am not good either, and I don't want to kill the refugees, but can these refugees not be killed? If you don't kill them, they will bring the rogues into our Lantian County and kill our relatives and friends. Besides, it was not the Lantian Army who drove the refugees away, but the dog-like Zhang Xianzhong, and he should be blamed for this."

"Finally, let me say a few more words. Everyone should have seen that our grain depot has a lot of food, and there are also big fat pigs. These things were given to us by the people of Lantian, and reward us soldiers who threw their lives and blood in order to protect them. , we ate other people’s good food and pork, and in the end we didn’t protect them well, so we don’t have to live anymore, let’s find a rope and hang ourselves.”

Li Dezhen stood up and said, "The meeting is over."

After speaking, he took the lead to leave the conference room. At this time, the conference room was completely silent. Li Chaomeng looked around and got up, followed by leaving.

Both of them left, others looked at each other, and someone said for a long time: "I think what the teacher said is right, we are soldiers from Lantian, and we eat the military pay provided by the people of Lantian. Now Zhang Xianzhong is going to attack my Lantian County with refugees. Well, if we sympathize with the refugees and lose this copper coin pass, then we will really be ashamed of the county magistrate and the 230 million people in Lantian."

"That's right, the situation in the world has collapsed to this point. In this troubled world, no one has the right to sympathize with others. If we sympathize with the refugees and lose the city gate, then we are the ones who become refugees. The refugees are innocent, but do the people of Lantian deserve what they deserve? If we eat rice from Lantian and drink water from Lantian, if we harm the common people out of sympathy, we can commit suicide to thank the world.”

"Yes, Zhang Xianzhong is not guilty of driving the refugees to death. We are guilty of nothing. I didn't say anything. My first brigade is willing to be the first to shoot the refugees. I have committed this crime, and I have a clear conscience."

"Hey, Lao Wang, why do you carry this crime? My surname is Li, and I belong to the family of the county venerable. If the county lord is willing to carry this kind of infamy, I will carry it with the county lord. It's nothing to say. This is the first shot of our third brigade. let go."

"Hey, the surname is Li, what's wrong with you being the county's venerable family? I made second-class meritorious service in the defense of Qingyu back then, and you were only third-class meritorious service back then. Why do you compare with me?"

"Oh, it's more meritorious, right? I'm the first-class meritorious service in the battle of eliminating Liudayukou later."

"Who isn't, what's wrong with you..."

"Okay, okay, stop arguing."

At this time, a peacemaker came out to mediate.

"Brothers, we have passed this level now, but our soldiers still need to do psychological work. After all, our soldiers have never experienced such a battle of massacring refugees. We need to do psychological training, otherwise there will definitely be trouble. Everyone go back Afterwards, I will go down to each company and platoon in person, and I will also seek help from your political commissars, and they are the professionals when it comes to psychological counseling.”

"That's right, that's right. Our Lantian Haojilang is not a coward when dealing with rogues, horse thieves, or even Tartars, but when facing vagrants, they may have obstacles in their hearts."

Massacring refugees is a very difficult thing for an army, especially for a disciplined, high-minded, and pure army.

For example, the Lantian Army, since they formed the army, they have been the soldiers of the people, and they are kind and just. Therefore, if they are asked to kill refugees, they must have obstacles in their hearts.

But the current situation is like this. The beasts of this era like to drive refugees as cannon fodder when fighting. If the Lantian Army can't overcome this, then they will not be able to fight against other rogue troops in the future.

So they have to pass this level, and they have to pass it.

The reason why they were so entangled was also because of Li Chaosheng's education and Lantian's policies that led to Lantian's army being very kind, a kindness that was incompatible with this era.

After all, such things as massacring civilians, killing good men for meritorious service, and robbing and slaughtering villages are not difficult for any army in this era, such as bandits, the Ming army, and the Tartars.

They look at ordinary people like they look at pigs and dogs. It is not difficult for them to kill them to make a profit. It is common for bandits to slaughter refugees and rob ordinary people on a large scale. Will it not happen one day?
Except for Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army, Sun Chuanting's Qin Army, and even Hong Chengchou's Shaanxi Army killing a civilian is not a big deal. As for other troops, especially some troops with the nature of warlords, they really treat the people very well. It is like treating pigs and dogs.

As for the Tartars, let alone, the people of Ming Dynasty are not as good as pigs and dogs to them. Whenever they enter the customs, they don't kill a lot of people.

In this world, only the Lantian Army is different. They really treat the people as human beings, not only as human beings, but also as relatives. , military and civilian family.

That's why it takes such complicated psychological counseling to let them kill refugees now. Of course, Li Chaosheng is willing to see all this. Li Chaosheng likes these soldiers under him very much. Chaosheng prefers their kindness, their persistence, their unbroken heart and discipline.

Only such an army can be called an iron army, an army that the people of Lantian need, and an army that Li Chaosheng needs, not an army with lax military discipline like Zhang Xianzhong.

Tongqianguan was ready. The militiamen were strengthening the city wall, and the soldiers were receiving psychological counseling. Zhang Xianzhong's army finally set off on the third day after a day of rest, a day of military mobilization, and looting of food.

But the first ones were Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and Ainengqi's army. The three each had [-] troops and drove [-] refugees to Tongqian Pass. They didn't even notify Li Dingguo's army during the whole process.

"Ding the country, Ding the country."

In the early morning, Wang Jiadong ran into Li Dingguo's tent, and Li Dingguo was still sleeping soundly at this time, sleeping soundly.

"Ding the country, Ding the country."

Wang Jiadong woke up Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo rubbed his eyes and said, "What are you doing?"

After hearing this, Wang Jiadong said: "Dingguo, Sun Kewang and the three of them have marched out. They didn't notify us at all. We can't fall behind. Get up quickly and follow up."

Hearing this, Li Dingguo turned over and said, "If you didn't tell us, you didn't want to take us with you at all. Since you don't want to take us with you, why should we come up and put your hot face on their cold buttocks? Then we will scare them into thinking that we want to take us with you." Take credit with them."

Wang Jiadong said: "What's wrong, we four people besieged Lantian, what's the matter with us alone now? When the Eighth King asks again, how can we explain it?"

"Knowing that they dumped us and ran away, those who didn't know thought we were cowardly and fearful of fighting. When the time comes, there will be villains who provoke dissension. What should we do if the Eighth Kings ask us to blame?"

Wang Jiadong said anxiously to Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo heard this and said: "An, An, Jiadong, how can the Eighth King not know how our relationship with Sun Kewang is, it's just his intentional arrangement, my adoptive father Ah, I like to play the way of balance, you and I are too capable, he is not at ease, so he allows Sun Kewang and the other three to target me everywhere."

"However, there are some things he can't do too much. After all, if we fall, Sun Kewang and the others will not be able to control them, so he always likes to play some checks and balances. Only when he is still and moves, can he be round, so what should Sun Kewang and the others do?" , Yifu Menqing, we don’t need to argue, Sun Kewang and the others are not willing to take us with us, and I am not willing to follow them, go to sleep, inform the whole camp to continue to rest, and leave the camp in the afternoon.”

"This?"

Wang Jiadong looked at Li Dingguo hesitantly, Li Dingguo said with a smile: "Go quickly, his Sun Kewang doesn't want me to follow them to claim credit, and I don't want to follow them to drive out the refugees and do that outrageous thing."

"Well, all right, I'll notify you right now."

As Wang Jiadong said, he turned and left. Li Dingguo turned over and continued to sleep without any hurry. There was no rush to die.

At this time, Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi were leading the army forward slowly, [-] elite bandits drove Wuyang Wuyang, [-] old and weak women and children, shouting, cursing, and whipping forward.

The [-] refugees wailed, crying, and screaming endlessly.

At this time, these rogues drove the people like driving big animals. If they didn't want to go, they would be slaughtered with a knife. The ones can be pulled by bullock carts, and the reason for this is because these women, they want to enjoy it at night, so they don't get tired.

As for military discipline, there is a bird military discipline.

"Brother, let's go out without telling the second child, so we won't be blamed by the foster father."

At this moment, Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu were in the center of the army, and Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu were riding horses. Ai Nengqi lay on a carriage and said to Sun Kewang worriedly. Willing to set off with the three of us?"

"what?"

Ai Nengqi was dumbfounded when he heard this, obviously we didn't tell him, why is he acting so surly?
Seeing that Ai Nengqi is so stupid and cute, Liu Wenxiu laughed and said, "Fourth, you are so stupid, even if the adoptive father found out about this and the adoptive father blamed him, the three of us said in unison that we told Li Dingguo, but Li Dingguo said no. Willing to go with the three of us, but Li Dingguo said that we did not inform him, who do you think the foster father believes in?"

Ai Nengqi blinked his eyes and said, "Of course there are many people who believe in you."

"Isn't this the end? We have a lot of people, so we are justified. What are you afraid of?"

Liu Wenxiu laughed and said, Ai Nengqi heard this and said: "Well, that's the reason."

After a while, Ai Nengqi frowned again and said: "But it's not right, big brother, our attack on Lantian County this time is a hard job, the three of us are in the front, and Li Dingguo is in the back to take advantage, we are too stupid."

Hearing this, Liu Wenxiu glanced at Sun Kewang, and Sun Kewang rode his horse and said, "Fourth brother, your brain is not bright. As the first team, we will consume the [-] refugees first. No, when the refugees are exhausted, Li Dingguo should arrive, and then we will say that we have fought here for several times, and the casualties are too great, so we will leave it to Li Dingguo."

"How can Li Dingguo refuse at that time? He has no way to refuse. He will bring his own troops to attack. When his people are almost exhausted, our main force will swarm up and take Lantian County. In this way, we can use the least casualties in exchange for The biggest victory."

Sun Kewang laughed and said, after hearing Sun Kewang's plan, Ainengqi swallowed his saliva and said, "Brother, you are too bad, if you do this, the second brother will hate us to death?"

After hearing this, Sun Kewang laughed and said, "Are you afraid that the second child will hate you?"

"Don't be afraid."

"Then it's over?"

"That's right, hahaha..."

The three of them laughed out loud, trying to figure out why the second child was always so cheerful.

In Zhang Xianzhong's camp, Zhang Xianzhong's lieutenant whispered something in Zhang Xianzhong's ear, and Zhang Xianzhong frowned when he heard this: "The boss took the third and fourth, and set off without informing the second? He also took away all the refugees? "

"Yes."

Zhang Xianzhong frowned even more when he heard this, and the lieutenant general asked, "Do you want to order the eldest son to reprimand them?"

Zhang Xianzhong raised his hand and said: "No need, the second child is self-willed and very proud, the eldest and three are mediocre, if you don't use some means, how can you beat the second child, well, don't worry about this matter, right, the situation in northern Shaanxi What's the matter?"

After hearing this, the deputy general said: "The situation is not optimistic. King Chuang was besieged by Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting in Shijiawan, Suide. However, with the fighting power of Lu Xiangsheng's army, Li Zicheng will not be able to hold on for long. Within a month, he will be able to form an encirclement with Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting. "

Hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong frowned and said, "Hey, the general situation is over, what can we do about it, by the way, where is Yang Sichang's envoy?"

The deputy general heard the words: "We have already reached the border of Hubei, and we should come to our place soon."

Zhang Xianzhong nodded, at this time the deputy general hesitated and said: "Eighth King, do we really want to accept the court's order?"
