After saying this, Zeng Huainan led others to the side and handed over these soldiers who killed the people, their lives and everything to the people. [ y ]
"General Zeng, we believe that you did not issue the order. It was the people under you who misinterpreted your meaning!" Seeing Zeng Huainan's actions, several old men among the people came out and said.
"Thank you, fellow man!" Zeng Huainan bowed to these old men. At this time, his face showed a hint of relief. It seemed that the people's misunderstanding of him just now really made him very concerned.
Among the people, the brother and sister who wanted to take action saw what Zeng Huainan did and admired: "This Zeng Huainan is so flexible that he made the people's eyes swollen, but he still tolerated it. Not only did he not blame the people, but he killed the murderer in public."
Lose."
"How can he not kill in this situation? He is a man who has grown old and is willing to sacrifice his little ones to protect his big ones. If the people in this area resist him, then Hua Shenguang will attack, and he will be in even more trouble."
"Brother, I think that although these people have temporarily calmed down their anger, they actually have deep-seated conflicts with the soldiers of the Feng Kingdom. I am afraid that the Feng Kingdom has lost the support of the people. You see, the people rushed up to beat the tied soldiers.
"
The people in front were the first to rush forward. Facing the soldiers whose hands and feet were tied and unable to resist, they turned all their anger into punches and kicks, venting their anger on the soldiers.
"This slap is for your ancestors. Your ancestors were just like us, growing crops from generation to generation to have you. Now that you have become a soldier, you have forgotten your mission. You should be slapped!"
"This slap is for your grandpa, your grandpa..."
In an instant, these soldiers were drowned in the anger of the people. Zeng Huainan looked at this scene with extremely complicated expressions, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, he touched his still painful eyes and thought to himself
Said: "It's okay
My general killed Lin Dayong in time and pushed these soldiers out to vent the people's anger. Otherwise, not only will these tens of thousands of people be a big trouble, but these people will probably secretly defect to Hua Shenguang and be completely disappointed with our Feng Kingdom. Then
It’s terrible.”
Huang Shilang on the side seemed to understand Zeng Huainan's thoughts, and came over and said: "General, you deserve this punch."
"Huang Lao, this general is not strict in disciplining his men, which is why this happened. If you hadn't helped to rescue the siege, I'm afraid it would still be serious now. I will hold a special banquet to thank you another day." Zeng Huainan smiled mockingly.
"This is what the general should do. The top priority is how to stabilize the people's hearts after they vent their anger. Look at this... this... and this... again..."
"Okay, Mr. Huang is indeed very resourceful. Yes, I will do what you suggest." Zeng Huainan finally showed a smile on his face and found a way that he thought could restore the people's hearts.
However, it is not as easy as he thought. As the saying goes, once you have been hurt once, if you want to make up for it, you need to use more energy. The problem cannot be solved by killing a few murderers. Just when the people gather
On the second day, a member of Tianxiahui brought a secret letter to pay homage to Hua Shenguang. After Hua Shenguang saw the letter, a smile appeared on his face. He entertained the person who sent the letter well and rewarded him with property.
Returning to the lobby, Li Guozhong asked: "Your Majesty, have the people from the Tianxiahui left?"
"Let's go. Li Jiancheng and Lin Xuanji have done a good job. What's more important is that Li Yu has spread unfavorable news to Feng Guo through Fengxin Bank's network. Haha, by then the wealthy class of Feng Guo will probably have a
The whole place was shaken." Hua Shenguang said very happily, "By the way, you sent people to spread the news about a huge flood, does anyone believe it?"
"Yes, there is, but not enough attention is paid to it," Li Guozhong said truthfully.
"Send more manpower. It is said that after the continuous heavy rain, there may be a big flood. To put it more seriously, according to Li Zezhou's calculation, the heavy rain will probably start. I wonder how the digging of that mountain is going?" Hua
Shen Guang looked at the sky outside the window and said slowly.
"Your Majesty, Li Zezhou has always been proficient in this, and his predictions must be accurate. In the past two days, we have had seven small battles with the old thief Zeng Huainan, and each has a victory or defeat. As for the deployment of other troops, it is completely according to the prince's wishes.
True or false, mobilize quickly, leaving the enemy confused." General Li Guozhong reported the situation one by one.
"Yes, continue to paralyze him like this. In the past few days, the old thief has been confused about the gathering of people, and he was beaten into panda eyes. It is really a relief. I heard that he reluctantly killed his favorite general, and he pulled two more
More than a thousand soldiers came out to provide support, which temporarily calmed the people's anger. This old thief was really willing to do so, but he will never be able to make up for what the people have lost."
While Hua Shenguang was discussing with Li Guozhong, in the Fengguo camp outside Jianping County, Zeng Huainan and the generals were also discussing the military situation. Zeng Huainan was sitting above, slowly stroking his beard, and was asking for advice.
He paid special attention to the opinions of the generals below. After all, Huang Shilang had followed Cheng Heizi for many years and was also a steady veteran with insights into many aspects. So at this time, Zeng Huainan listened attentively.
Huang Shilang paced back and forth and said slowly: "General Yimo, you will see that the boy's behavior in the past few days has been very strange. He has fought with our army in several battles, and the boy has not used caltrops. He seems to be testing our army.
What is even more puzzling is that the boy is changing his troop layout every day. His armies are divided or combined in the east or west. For example, the spies reported the day before yesterday that there were nearly 10,000 people.
We only camped here for one night, and the whole army retreated early the next morning. After setting up camp, we only stayed for one night. This is a bit confusing." Huang Shilang walked to the map and pointed to a location.
said.
"General, there is another news. According to reports from spies who went deep behind enemy lines, the boy seems to be making small rafts and boats, and he is doing it mysteriously." Another general named Jiang said.
"Ship?" Huang Shilang thought for a moment and said, "The rainy season is here, and the water levels in all rivers and rivers have risen. Does the kid's construction of rafts and boats have anything to do with this?"
Zeng Huainan also fell into thinking. He imagined many possibilities, but he couldn't figure out Hua Shenguang's intention of making rafts and ships. When he was young, he clapped his hands and seemed to have an idea: "There is another phenomenon. According to reports from spies,
There are rumors among the people that the Nanbei River will flood this year. Could it be that the boy also heard the rumors and thought that the water would flood him, so he built the boat? "
At this time, another commander came out and said: "General, every year during the rainy season, the Nanbei River will rise. At this time of year, people along the river have such rumors, which also serves as a reminder to each other. But that kid
But he doesn’t know the past conditions of this place. No matter how much the Nanbei River rises, it will not reach Jianping, let alone Shanjing further downstream. Maybe the kid only knows that some small rivers in Jianping and Shanjing are tributaries of the Nanbei River.
So make some things that can be used on water to prevent problems before they happen."
