General Su's face became serious: "We are in a hurry, aren't those bandits in a hurry? If they were to call tonight, they would only start planning now. At the same time, those bandits would still be in our territory.

, we have the advantage, what should we be afraid of?"

Everyone immediately did not dare to speak, and their facial expressions were still frightened.

The prefect awkwardly said to General Su: "Mr. Su, I wonder if your brother has any other ideas? If we have to fight those bandits tonight, I'm afraid it's not enough for our current military strength. Besides, I heard that

In order to catch these dozens of three fat men last night, you stayed awake all day and all night, I am afraid that your energy will be damaged and you will not be able to make the best decision..."

General Su's eyes suddenly froze: "When I went into battle to kill the enemy, I stayed awake for three days and three nights. I survived the days without eating or drinking. What does this sleepless night mean?"

Su Sanlang approached his father and suggested in a low voice: "Father, since the morale of the soldiers in Qingzhou is so low, why don't we put all the bandits back first?

In this way, those bandits will not go to Qingzhou City to rescue them, and we can buy more time, make good deployment arrangements, boost their morale, and then go directly to the village to catch them all!"

Su Silang also stepped forward and suggested: "The third brother is right. It is better to let these bandits go first. We can also buy more time to avoid insufficient preparation. These bandits will eventually be rescued. Then we can

This will further affect our morale in attacking bandits in the future..."

Su Dalang held a different opinion: "These bandits are nothing to be afraid of. As long as everyone works together, when those bandits arrive in our territory, we must capture them quickly!"

"The key is that these people in Qingzhou are not united at all and have no morale at all!" Su Erlang couldn't help but interjected.

Seeing his sons starting to discuss, General Su suddenly raised his hand and said coldly: "What you said is reasonable, but you can guarantee that these bandits will be put back and there will be enough arrangements for everyone.

Will the morale of these soldiers in Qingzhou be high during the deployment time?"

After hearing General Su's words, everyone immediately stopped talking.

Mrs. Su on the side immediately understood her husband's decision and echoed: "Morale is such a thing. Once it shrinks once, it cannot grow back. If we put these bandits back today, it would be a compromise.

Just admitting defeat and admitting that our officers and soldiers are not as good as those bandits will only make our morale even more depressed."

"What should we do now?"

The prefect heard the Su family's conversation nearby and couldn't help but feel anxious.

He said that the old general did not answer him, but looked at the people who were watching, and asked in a sonorous voice: "Common people here, who among you has been robbed and oppressed by bandits? Please raise your hands."

stand up!"

The people in Qingzhou present raised their hands one after another.

At a glance, 70% to 80% of the people raised their hands!

Seeing such a scene, everyone couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

This shows how rampant those bandits are on weekdays!

"Do you hate those bandits?" General Su asked loudly.

"Hate!" the people replied through gritted teeth.

General Su continued: "Do you want to take revenge and let those bandits suffer retribution?"

"Think!" the common people responded in unison again.

"Very good!" General Su nodded heavily: "Then I will give you a chance to kill the enemy today. Have you seen the dozens of bandits we captured just now?

As long as you take one step forward, I can lead you to capture all the accomplices who came to rescue these bandits tonight. When the time comes, it will be up to you to kill or chop these bandits!"

"This..." The magistrate beside him quickly wanted to say something.

But Old General Su suddenly said to him: "Master Magistrate, if these people have experienced the great achievements of the bandits at their feet, you will not be stingy about giving them the opportunity to kill their enemies with their own hands, right?"

Hearing General Su's words, the prefect was stunned. It took him a while to react and stammered: "Mr. Su, do you want these common people to deal with those bandits?"

"Not bad!" General Su said with a calm expression: "The morale of the officers and soldiers is too low. I'm afraid they will have abandoned their armor before the bandits attack. I might as well use these common people with hatred, maybe they can be more useful than these soldiers.

some!"

When the common people heard that they could avenge the blood and hatred themselves, they were full of blood and shouted loudly: "Please General Su, please lead us to kill the enemy together and avenge the hatred!"

As they spoke, everyone took a step forward without fear.

Old General Su glanced at these common people, then glanced at the cowering prefect and his soldiers, raised his chin and said: "In this round of encirclement and suppression of mountain bandits, I think these common people are worse than your soldiers, prefect."

If you want to be useful, the prefect will lead your soldiers to stay in the house tonight and be sure not to come out, lest they be accidentally killed by bandits."

Hearing what General Su said, the prefect's face suddenly turned pale.

He is a dignified magistrate, a parent and official of the people of a state. When in danger, he should rush to the front. Now Mr. Su actually asks him to stay behind. Isn't this indirectly saying that he is incompetent?

The other soldiers also heard General Su's words and felt very uncomfortable.

They are soldiers of the government. They should rush in front of the people to protect the safety of the people of the state. Now they want to hide and let the people rush in front to protect them. Isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world? They say that their Qingzhou soldiers are useless.

?

Thinking of this, the soldiers immediately raised their swords and shouted loudly: "We are upright soldiers, how can we hide in the house and let the common people charge into battle to protect us?"

Aren't we more capable than them? Since they are not afraid, what should we be afraid of? Since Mr. Su can lead these people to win this battle, what do we have to worry about? "

The Lord Magistrate also followed behind and nodded repeatedly: "I am the parent official of Qingzhou, and it is even more impossible for me to hide. I should be braver than the common people!"

Seeing the sudden surge in morale, General Su was finally satisfied and began to make arrangements for tonight's deployment with everyone.

When the Su family, other exiled prisoners, and police officers saw the old general's skill, they couldn't help but admire him secretly.

As expected of a veteran general who has been on the battlefield for many years, his morale can be boosted again with just a few words.

Yingbao couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up to his grandfather again.

Grandfather's method is definitely a method of provoking generals!

It seems that he dislikes the poor morale of the soldiers and can only choose common people to be his soldiers.

In fact, my grandfather's purpose was still those yamen soldiers. He said he wanted to select common people to fight with him. In fact, it was just to inspire the morale and bravery of those Qingzhou soldiers.

It looks like the result is pretty good.
