Chapter eight hundred and fifty first to distinguish
No no!
He Mai is a smart person and a person who considers things comprehensively and deeply. He will not be fooled by simple appearances.
He could see clearly that Wang Mi's pursuit must be more than that.
These goals are too routine, not difficult at all, and are not Wang Mi's hobby at all.
So where are his hobbies?
That existence that is more lofty and difficult?
One step above the powerful ministers, isn't it the throne that the children of aristocratic families are always willing to get their hands on?
All it takes is a layer of window paper!
In fact, as long as He Mai is willing, he can pierce the last layer of window paper. In his own words, there is no one else here. Even if he says it, Wang Mi will not do anything.
At best, they just don’t admit it.
However, He Mai was observing Wang Mi's behavior while talking, and it seemed that he didn't want to make this matter clear yet.
If that's the case, then respect his ideas.
Let it go for now.
It's not impossible, after all, the war issues have not been resolved yet. With Wang Mi's personality, he must not be interested in that kind of half-hearted emperor.
If you want to do it, be the great emperor who unifies the dynasty!
This is decent enough!
Only then is he worthy of a peerless hero like Wang Mi!
No matter what Wang Mi wants, in a word, He Mai has now shown his attitude. No matter what Wang Mi wants to do, he, as a follower, is determined!
Unlike Liu Yu and others, He Mai chose another path.
That is the strategist behind the scenes, the think tank who makes plans.
This is indeed a more suitable path for He Mai. Use your words and your brain, not your hands!
Not to mention, the risk is much smaller. As long as it remains the same, even if Wang Mi really succeeds in the future, his position will be much more stable if he does not command troops or power.
Maybe, it will end well in the end!
That’s right!
Although the so-called great cause has not yet been revealed, He Mai has already thought about the matter in such a long-term way.
It was rare that he found such a good path for himself. How could Wang Mi not accept it?
All right!
Then let’s fight together!
Starting from Yecheng!
Look at his true ability!
In the early morning of the next day, when the sun once again filled the land of Yecheng, the Jin army brothers also walked out of the military tents one after another.
Their expressions were so uplifting, and their moods were still very exciting. Last night’s big victory, today, the excitement has not passed yet!
Especially those soldiers who joined the Beifu army for the first time and participated in the Jin army's battle, their eyes were bloodshot with excitement and they were not sleepy at all.
As for some people, they are much more calm.
As soon as it gets light, we start setting up the shelves, cooking porridge and vegetables.
What could be more gratifying than being able to sit on the battlefield and have a meal after a big battle?
Of course, these soldiers who can still afford to eat are all veterans.
Some of them came from the Nanyang battlefield, and some even survived by chance from the Xiangyang battlefield.
They have experienced too many battles, and they know Wang Shilang's consistent military strategy since they followed him.
The Battle of Yecheng, compared to every previous battle, to be honest, was not too intense!
It was not that thrilling at all, and some of the prepared siege equipment were not even used.
Nothing special.
If there is anything special about it, it can only be said that it resembles an army of brave foreign tribes. In fact, it is not that arrogant.
Some of them fled, such as the Xianbei people, and some took the initiative to surrender. They were even less patient than the Jin people.
The speed of surrender is unheard of.
Other than that, it didn't cause much trouble in the hearts of the veterans.
Yes!
Although the soldiers present, no matter how senior they were, they had only joined the army since Wang Mi joined the army to fight everywhere.
After all, it was just a few wars and a few months of fighting.
However, they can already be called veterans!
Ancient battles were always head-to-head, a battle of blood and fire. The battle damage rate was extremely high. If you could survive several wars, you could definitely be considered an experienced veteran.
In just a few wars, more than hundreds and thousands of soldiers were taken away?
Not to mention tens of thousands, there are definitely 10,000 or 20,000 people!
This is the cruelty of war!
Even with the help of powerful new weapons, even if the tactics are used properly and well prepared, a complete victory will still cost at least thousands of casualties.
Take the Yecheng battlefield as an example. According to He Mai's statistics, the Jin army alone suffered more than 6,500 deaths!
This does not include those who were injured.
If the injured are included, the total battle loss rate should reach about 10,000 people!
You must know that this was a result achieved jointly under the premise that the Jin army had been fully prepared for a long time, with the help of the Xianbei Army in the early stage, and the rapid surrender of Di Qin.
It’s already quite difficult!
If these major factors do not come together, then, even with the help of new weapons, the number of casualties of the Jin army will definitely exceed this number!
What if there are no new weapons?
Without gunpowder, artillery, and pistols?
One can imagine how much it will cost to capture a city that has been firmly occupied by the enemy for more than ten years!
And how difficult it is to achieve all of this.
While the brothers of the Jin army were having breakfast leisurely, the Qin soldiers were not so leisurely.
Everything changed so quickly, as if in an instant, everything changed.
Yecheng, this important town in the north that had been controlled by the Qin soldiers for more than ten years, fell into the hands of the Jin people so easily!
As the former masters and soldiers of Di Qin, they were once arrogant, but they became prisoners, waiting for the fate of the Jin people.
However, what can they do?
Even if they are filled with hatred and their eyes are as wide as a bell, what can they do?
Look, isn’t that coward Li Dalian, who betrayed his brothers first, still alive and well?
Not only did he live a good life, he also won the trust of the Jin army generals, and he naturally became the leader.
At this moment, He Mai, who had been entrusted with the important task, was sitting outside the north gate of Ye City, commanding his brothers in the Jin army to improve the defense of the city, while guarding the Qin soldiers outside the city.
Since it is a surrender, there is one thing that must be done first. Needless to say, it is to change defense.
All the Qin soldiers in the city went out, and some Jin troops entered the city.
That's the first priority.
While He Mai was busy, Wang Mi was not idle either. He came to Ye City in person to observe the situation and point out any mistakes.
Wang Mi was very pleased to see He Mai putting all the arrangements in place bit by bit.
This Amai is indeed a capable person!
He got it right!
Without his reminder, He Mai also thought of driving out all the Qin soldiers in the city so that no one is left. This is his talent!
When the dejected Qin soldiers slowly walked out of the city, what they saw was indeed Li Dalian standing next to He Mai, smiling like a flower.
correct!
How can the judges forget such a key figure?
If he hadn't surrendered in advance, the entire Yecheng battlefield would not have collapsed so quickly.
Although many people didn't know it yesterday, it's different now.
Although Di Qin's brothers were taken as prisoners, the Jin army only controlled their bodies, relatively speaking.
But they didn't shut their mouths.
They can still talk and spread all kinds of news.
So, now everyone knows that this fierce man who opened the first surrender record is the team leader Li Dalian!
This is the person!
The entire Nancheng was abandoned, leaving the brothers no chance of making a comeback!
Brothers are already like this, and Li Dalian is still so carefree, who wouldn't be angry if he sees it?
Pooh!
"traitor!"
"Why don't you, these evil thieves, die?"
"I'm going to kill him!"
When the soldiers passed the city gate, they could not fail to see Li Dalian.
He did not shy away from the angry looks of the crowd at all. He stood by He Mai's side and helped He Mai make plans.
When Qin soldiers pass by the North City Gate, they always curse.
This is still light.
Some of them attacked him with spatulas, some of them snatched the swords of the Jin soldiers, and some of them wanted to rush up and kill him.
Then what?
There's no after that!
Needless to say, the one who snatched the knife was picked up by the brothers of the Jin army. He was immediately divided into another team and picked out.
In the military station at the north gate, there are still some Qin soldiers who have not left the city and are staying here.
However, staying in Yecheng does not mean you are luckier.
On the contrary, those who were able to leave the city were relieved and could soon be classified into the army. Whether they returned to Jiankang with the Jin army or stayed in Yecheng, they finally decided where to go.
You can continue to mess around.
As for the soldiers who were stuffed into the military station, they were of course specially selected. The Qin soldier who had snatched the Jin army's sword was also brought over and locked up without explanation.
Why are these people being held in solitary confinement?
Of course it's because they are dishonest!
There were thousands of Qin soldiers in such a large city of Ye. Of course, among them there were those who were loyal to Di Qin and unwilling to surrender to the Jin army.
Moreover, there are not just one or two such people.
Of course, the Jin army would not kill these people. They actively persuaded them at first, and those who could be persuaded were recruited into the army for later use.
As for those who are stubborn and unreasonable, there is no other option but to lock them up in isolation.
Of course, this is not preferential treatment. If it were preferential treatment, the Qin soldier who grabbed the knife would not have been sent here.
Those who were unwilling to surrender, those who caused trouble, and those who made trouble with malicious intent, all gathered here.
What awaits them is not death, they can rest assured.
The number of people is not large, Wang Shilang is not that cruel, and He Amai is a kind-hearted person and would never do this at all. It is too cruel and bloody!
Can't do it!
You can't do such a thing!
Of course, there must be appropriate punishment, otherwise how can we establish our authority?
As for the method of disposal, of course it is one size fits all!
In fact, we are all men, so we naturally know how destructive it is to men, and it is more fatal than death!
However, both He Mai and Wang Mi agree with this point of view. The number of people is not large, so it is not a big deal to do everything.
Furthermore, it is not necessary to cut them now, but to cut them on the spot. Locking them up and putting them aside for the time being can be regarded as giving them a chance.
As long as you can figure it out before the army sets off, you can save your life. If you can't figure it out, don't blame the Jin army for being rude.
For Wang Shilang, although this approach is not the best choice, there is no other way.
You see, these people they are facing are all serious ancient people. It is good if you tell them how to be benevolent, righteous, and tolerant. These principles are good, but they cannot understand these ancient people at all.
Not only can he not understand, if you do this, he will also think that you are easy to bully, and he will not be convinced.
In order to give them a punishment, Wang Shilang had no choice but to do this.
If these people still have some brains, they should hurry up and be honest and obedient, otherwise, their lives will be at risk.
It's so pitiful!
You will become a disabled person from now on!
What's even more pitiful is that these Qin soldiers who were imprisoned in the military station were still noisy and aggressive, and they didn't even realize the fate they were about to face.
On the other side, outside the North City Gate.
He Mai set up a small desk and moved a small couch. Paper and pen were all necessary for him to work here.
The so-called office work naturally requires the cooperation of team leader Li Dalian.
I saw him standing next to He Mai, following step by step, being particularly careful and careful.
To conquer the surrendered troops, you need the help of people like this.
Now, the first thing He Mai has to do is classify the Qin soldiers.
He Wuji was responsible for the defense of the city, and he was followed by old brothers from the Jin army. While He Wuji was familiar with the various buildings and streets in the city, he sent his soldiers to garrison in places he considered important.
And he also has to shoulder the responsibility of searching for the remaining Qin soldiers in the city.
The Qin soldiers had occupied such a large city for such a long time, and it was absolutely impossible for them to send them all out of the city overnight.
There must be omissions, and at this time, He Wuji's role is quite important.
As for He Mai, what he is busy with is a more important thing.
"Captain Li, let me ask you, are any of these Qin soldiers stationed in the city originally Han?"
"Where are they all?"
The territory ruled by Di Qin was very large, and a large part of it was the former homeland of the Central Plains. Of course, the vast majority of people living on these lands were Han people.
When these Han people were ruled by the Di people, the Di people would never let them just guard the farmland and let them focus on farming.
Di Qin also organized these Han people into fixed teams. Before each battle, these Han legions would be sent to the front to serve as cannon fodder.
Therefore, He Mai reasonably believed that there must be a fixed Han army in Yecheng.
When he asked this question, Li Dalian really remembered it.
"have!"
"Indeed!"
"However, these people were originally led by Zhang Hao. He fought bravely and refused to admit defeat easily. Therefore, there are not many Han people left."
Although He Mai didn't state his intention clearly, how could he not guess it if he was as smart as Li Dalian?
And what he said is true. In this day and age, people from Di and Jin can still see some differences in appearance.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu recently to read and catch up on new books. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www.yeguoyuedu.com is available for Android and Apple.]
And He Mai has been sitting in front of the north gate for some time. He has seen many Qin soldiers coming and going. Just from their faces, he can tell that there are very few Han people among them.
