Meng Duiwan strode forward on his horse and walked to the stronghold. From a distance, Meng Duiwan heard panicked roars and the sound of horse hooves trampling inside.
Su Xubai was about to speak when he saw Meng Duiwan wave his hand, and then someone stepped forward and shouted: "People in the village, listen, we are here to recruit people under the orders of the imperial court. If you are smart, just turn it in."
Weapons, disarm and not kill, otherwise don’t blame us for destroying your stronghold!"
Su Xubai raised his eyebrows slightly: "You people who are shouting are really not very good!"
Meng Duiwan glanced at Su Xubai: "A few of the bandits have read books, and they talk in a roundabout way, while a few of them can understand clearly. It's better to speak more clearly.
That’s all they can understand!”
Su Xubai couldn't refute. After all, Meng Duiwan was right. Most of the people who became bandits were people without houses and land. If they had read books and knew some words, they could still find a living to support their families.
Yes, only people who do not have houses or land and are still illiterate will go up the mountains and become bandits under the pressure of life.
"There is always a strategist among them, so they will not be completely confused." Su Xubai tried to regain his face.
Meng Duiwan glanced at Su Xubai indifferently: "Do you think those military advisers will tell the truth to them? If he tells the truth and knows that we are here to recruit people, all his people have surrendered, who is he?
Military people always have selfish motives. In the village, because they know some words and have read some books, they can be superior to others. But when they are recruited, in the military camp, they can only be the lowest soldiers, but those with some brains will not
Will be willing to be recruited."
Su Xubai silently closed his mouth. Although what Meng Duiwan said was a bit absolute, it was a fact. No matter where they were, there would be different classes. The soldiers in the military camp were divided into three, six or nine grades according to their ability.
Bandits are also divided into three, six or nine grades. A person who is used to being a chicken head in a small place will probably not want to be a phoenix tail.
Not long after the female soldier finished shouting, someone came out and shouted: "Girl of the Meng family, your parents left you outside and ignored you a few years ago. After many years, the Detachment of Women took you back after they had no descendants. Now you give it back to them."
I have seen stupid people working like cows and horses, but I have never seen anyone as stupid as you. Will working for the emperor do you any good?"
After listening to each other's words, everyone turned to look at Meng Duiwan.
Su Xubai frowned slightly: "Why is this person talking nonsense? What does it mean that your parents left you outside and ignored you?"
"It's not surprising, everyone outside thinks so!" Meng Duiwan raised his eyebrows slightly, "There are even many people in the military camp who think that I was abandoned by my parents before, so why are they bringing me back now?
Come on, it’s because the Detachment of Women has no one to inherit, so they found me, their abandoned daughter, to work as a cow or a horse.”
Su Xubai recalled the beatings he had received, and his face became a little strange: "Tell me, if it was really like what they thought, could I have received a lot less beatings?"
Meng Duiwan glanced at Su Xubai: "I don't know about that. After all, this is the first time I've met such a difficult person like you. Maybe it's because you are too difficult, no matter who they are.
You will be beaten for any thought!"
Su Xubai sighed: "It's hard to be a human being, and it's even harder to be an infatuated person!"
Meng Duiwan was slightly startled, but then he said nothing.
After a while, Forsythia said something to the female soldier. She took a deep breath and shouted: "Our girl is working for the people of the world, for the poor people of my empire, not for the royal family."
, we guard the peace of a land to ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment, unlike you, who shout and kill just for your own interests."
The other party was silent for a long time.
Forsythia took advantage of the victory and pursued the attack: "Your head of the family has surrendered to the law. It is meaningless for you to resist stubbornly. The so-called corrective approach is just that you have been deceived. Your Majesty is the emperor, and the prince is from the main palace. He is the direct descendant or the eldest son."
, they really don’t have any other right path, and they need your help.”
"We, the Detachment of Women, have always treated prisoners preferentially. As long as you surrender obediently, we will only entertain you with delicious food and food, and we will not treat you badly. The road down the mountain has been blocked by us for several days. I want to come to your village.
There is not much food left, and no matter whether we attack the stronghold or not, you will no longer be able to resist there for a long time."
The village was still quiet, as if no one was there, but the more so, the greater the chance of Meng Duiwan's victory. Shaking people's hearts is the greatest chance of victory. These bandits have been surrounded here for several days, and their big boss
The head of the family has already surrendered to the law, and their hearts have long since dispersed. They are just trying to stay here forcibly.
Forsythia still wanted to shout, but was stopped by Meng Duiwan: "Let's wait and let them think about it before deciding whether to surrender!"
Forsythia responded without me saying anything more.
About a quarter of an hour later, the door of the village slowly opened, and a middle-aged man came out. He walked out slowly with empty hands. He looked at Meng Duiwan standing there and said, "Our boss is still alive.
?"
"Anyway, I'm not dead yet. As for whether I'm alive or not, I'm not sure." Meng Duiwan smiled, "After all, the torture in our cell can sometimes really drive people to the point of death!"
The man was silent for a long time, and then said: "I think you already know that what we do is just being ordered by others. We have to do things for others after receiving a lot of money from them. In fact, most of our village is now empty.
, most of them have been captured by you, and the rest are old, weak, women and children. I don’t want to watch them die in front of me because of their stubborn resistance."
Meng Duiwan looked at the man for a long time, then smiled and said, "I think you probably have a request!"
"I want you to leave a way for our boss to survive." The man looked at Meng Duiwan and said firmly, word by word?
Meng Duiwan raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled and said: "I thought you would tell me that you wanted to have a box of gold, and I specially asked someone to prepare it, but I didn't expect that you would use this opportunity to exchange for your livelihood as the head of the family.
It’s just a loser’s life, I didn’t expect it to be more important to you than gold.”
"When we were desperate, it was the boss who took us in. He is extremely important to us and is our reborn parent." The man took a deep breath and said, "Do you agree or not?"
