Chapter 287 The army is not like the army, but like a bandit?(1/2)
After some persuasion from the woman Zhao Yue who was always following him.
Zhao Tongsui also accepted all the food and other materials donated by the local gentry and people out of gratitude.
"Since you fellow villagers are so insistent, I will accept it on behalf of the entire army."
"But please rest assured that if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to us for help at any time."
"Our officers and men will never sit idly by and watch."
Just say it.
He first bowed his hands to the leading old man and said thanks.
And then he loudly issued this order to all the ministries in front of all the people.
I watched the various departments of the Han army gradually pass military orders to each other.
Seeing this, all the people had brighter smiles on their faces.
My heart is even more excited.
They had originally admired the Han army for their benevolence and righteousness, but now they couldn't help but be even more impressed.
"Thank you, general, for your concern!"
After some greetings and thanks.
Zhao Tong also sent a team of soldiers to escort the people back on the grounds that this place was on the front line and was surrounded by dangers.
This is just a small episode in the confrontation between the two armies!
It didn't have the slightest impact.
During the stalemate between the two sides in Longsang City.
The Baima Qiang tribes, persuaded by the envoy sent by Zhao Tong, also under the governor of Prince Yang Wanwan, dispatched surrounding tribes to work day and night to strengthen the road between the Wangcheng Valley and the Qiang Road in the west to the important town of Wudu.
With the protection of the Qiang people.
The next logistical materials dispatched by the Han army from the rear to the front line will be safe.
General Fei Yao's time to guard Longxi is not short.
He was also leading his troops to garrison Longsang City, when he heard that the envoy Baima and other Qiang tribes sent by Governor Zhang Ji had all returned in disgrace.
He then relied on the prestige he had accumulated in his past place to persuade the surrounding scattered Qiang tribes or the large groups of horse gangs that crisscrossed Liangzhou.
They were called upon to go deep behind enemy lines and attack the food routes between the Han armies.
But with the interference of Baima Qiang's troops.
How can these small tribes scattered around them compete with each other in terms of strength?
Naturally, this strategy will not work.
When Fei Yao received the military report that the Baima Qiang actually raised troops to help the Han army, Fei Yao was among the tents for a while, and his face became more and more solemn.
"What is the charm of Zhao Tong?"
"He is just a young boy, and he has only been stationed in Qiang Road for only a few months, so his foundation is shallow."
"How can you successively convince the two major Qiang tribes Shenlang and Baima to send troops to help?"
After thinking about it for a while, not only the other generals in the room looked puzzled.
Even Fei Yao looked suspicious on some of his faces.
He couldn't understand that Zhao Tong only led his troops to garrison Qiang Road in the tenth month of last winter.
He led his troops to take advantage of the situation and marched south, intending to strangle it in the cradle while its foothold was not yet stable.
But in that battle, Zhao Tong summoned the Shenlang Qiang from the southwest of the Qiang Road to help.
They even borrowed the well-trained wolf warriors from the clan, who were ashamed of the clan members.
As a result, he was caught off guard and returned defeated!
Now, he was persuaded to join forces with Baima Qiang.
Fei Yao was also puzzled for a moment, why Zhao Tong could summon the Qiang people to help him when he was unfamiliar with this place and had not established his authority among the Qiang people like the former mighty general Ma Chao?
But now that the matter was over, apart from the unstoppable headache, he could only accept the reality.
"Alas, the Qiang people's support is a foregone conclusion, so the previous battle plan of going deep into the enemy's rear and disturbing the enemy's food routes will not be implemented properly!"
After finishing the sentence, Fei Yao looked sad and sighed helplessly.
"But I don't know what you think about the current situation, and how our army should respond next..."
However, before he could finish his next sentence, there were hurried footsteps outside the tent.
A moment later, a soldier in scout uniform quickly rushed into the tent.
After entering the account, this pawn showed a very urgent look on his face.
So much so that the atmosphere in the tent seemed to solidify in an instant.
The sentry rider did not delay, but knelt down on his knees, raised his hands and saluted Fei Yao, saying: "This is for General Fei, according to what our eyes and ears scattered around have detected."
"In recent days, scholars, civilians or gentry have been gathering in the surrounding cities and villages, and they have taken their own grain savings and gone to the Han camp to provide assistance."
"I hope General Fei will make a decision on this matter quickly!"
The conversation settled quickly.
Between the big tents.
In almost an instant, the original silent and tense atmosphere changed into a lively and cathartic sound, and the voices coming out among the generals were like a market.
In a moment.
I saw that almost all the generals had the same expression.
He had an extremely annoyed and angry look on his face.
"General Fei, this group of unscrupulous people are so greedy that they live under my rule and do not want to support our army to fight against an invading enemy."
"But instead, he generously funded the thieves and cheered for them."
"Damn it!"
"I also hope that General Enzhun will lead an army out of the camp and go to the surrounding places to severely punish this group of unruly people with thunderous means."
"That's right, this bunch of unruly people don't know how to commend themselves. They help the thieves. It's time to let them know the benefits."
"Yes, we should kill them with thunder to deter the other parties."
"This is the fate of those who dare to betray our army and support the thieves."
The continuous words of the generals echoed throughout the tent.
Everyone looked on with indignation.
Obviously, they all agreed to use bloody methods and massacre the surrounding people who supported the Han army.
Gu Hao
This is also Cao's consistent style.
From top to bottom, Prime Minister Cao Cao.
For those who surrender but then rebel, there are those who resist across the city and swear to the death and refuse to surrender, or those who raise troops to rebel.
There is almost no mercy at all.
The most frequently used method is to use the power of thunder to slaughter various places with blood to establish power and deter all parties.
It is precisely because the Cao family has long been accustomed to massacres.
Now I heard that the local people actually helped the Han army.
They were all quickly filled with intense anger.
They clamored to use thunderous methods and massacre.
Use this to intimidate!
But the commander-in-chief Fei Yao was sitting on top of the chairman at this moment, quietly listening to the heartfelt cries among the generals, and for a moment his expression was unmoved.
After a while, it seemed that the observing generals had generally finished venting their emotions.
There was still an indifferent look on his face, so he calmly waved his hand and refused: "No, no!"
"Our army must never again massacre local people with thunderous means."
"This is the way to create chaos!"
"If we really act like this, there will probably be civil unrest in various places in the future."
The words of Xiangxi fell out.
Fei Yao's expression also gradually changed slightly, and gradually became more solemn.
Hearing the general's rebuttal.
