As long as there is enough money and food for disaster relief, they will lay down their weapons and become good people under the Ming Dynasty again.
However, the imperial court really couldn't provide more money and food, and Tiemo didn't even have so much money and food to help so many people. What he saw in front of him was only tens of thousands of people, but behind them there were wives, children, and children, and they had families and families.
Counting it in pieces, it's definitely hundreds of thousands.
He has the ability to recruit surrender, but he has no ability to provide disaster relief.
This is the current situation of the imperial court, and it is also the helplessness of Tie Mo and others.
Feeling that Tie Mo was in a low mood, Sha Diao sighed, turned around and patted the other party on the shoulder, "General Tie Mo, how many years older than you are from a certain family. Let me have a few words with you today."
"Those of us who lead troops in war are destined to go to hell. Put away your conscience. You and I both know very well that if we don't kill them, they will continue to rebel because we can't give them enough to eat."
"It's a good thing to have a kind heart, but it shouldn't spread too much. We have limited supplies, so we can only protect our own people first."
Sha Diao's words were like a hammer that woke up Tie Mo and also hit everyone's hearts. These words sounded very unpleasant, but they were bloody facts.
With insufficient food and pay, officers and soldiers may become rebels at any time. There is only a thin line between soldiers and bandits. In order to survive, some people become soldiers and some become rebels. They are also licking blood with the blade of a knife.
Live life with your head hanging from your belt.
The moment they decided to become a rebel, they should have known what the consequences would be.
Tie Mo thought of the first time he bartered in the North. At that time, he knew very well that he could either barter in the North for hope or die in the cold winter desert.
No matter what the result is, never regret.
And now, do those people who were massacred regret it?
...
A long blood-colored river flows slowly, and finally mixes into the earth. As night approaches, the wind whistles, and the sound of fighting disappears.
This battle without any suspense finally ended. Except for some people who fled to Shangzhou, most of the others stayed here. Even Wei Zixiang died under the horse's hooves. When cleaning the battlefield, it was discovered that there were more than a dozen bloody holes in Wei Zixiang's body.
, the chest has collapsed.
There was no talking all night, and the soldiers collected the bodies on the ground with a heavy heart.
No matter whether it was an officer or a soldier or a peasant army, no matter whether they were winning or losing, there was no trace of joy on their faces.
Early the next morning, a large number of soldiers and horses came from the south and finally stopped thirty miles away. A strong man leaned against the adobe wall and cried silently. He held on to the wall and let it go.
Tears fell from his face.
Three into one, he was in the center to support him. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by the officers and soldiers so quickly. Even Wei Zixiang died on the way to escape.
After crying bitterly, Wang Daliang gathered his mood and ordered to turn around and return to Shangzhou. The battle was over and Luonan City was also controlled by officers and soldiers. There was no point in going further north. The current plan was to save Shangzhou and Shanyang City.
After the fall of Luonan City, the position of Shanyang City became more important than Shangzhou. Wang Daliang now had an idea, that is, to increase the number of troops in Shanyang. As long as Shanyang is still in his hands, he can advance, attack, retreat, or defend.
If it really didn't work, he went south from Shanyang, broke through the siege, returned to Hanzhong, and fought his way back to Sichuan and Shu.
With a heavy heart, Wang Daliang returned to Shangzhou City. After returning to the city, he ordered the defeated troops who had withdrawn from Luonan City to be placed in the south alone.
The morale of this group of defeated soldiers was low, and they were full of panic and despair. If these people blended into the Shangzhou troops, they might destroy the morale of the Shangzhou soldiers.
Later, Wang Daliang summoned the leaders from all walks of life to discuss the next plan. From the defeated soldiers, he got a lot of news. This time, the officers and soldiers were not only Wu Laogou's troops in central Sichuan, but also the border troops came over. Wei Zixiang
His death made Wang Daliang and others sober up a lot.
In the previous confrontation with Wu Guofu, he was as stable as a rock, and gradually became swollen. He wanted to occupy Shangluo Road for a long time and manage this territory well. But after Wei Zixiang died, everyone understood.
If the officers and soldiers attack ruthlessly, they really can't resist it. This Shangluo Road is a battleground for military strategists. From ancient times to the present, this place has not been a good place.
"Brother Wang, now that Luonan City is in the hands of the officers and soldiers, our idea of crossing Tongguan and entering Shaanxi is obviously not feasible. The current plan is to return to Hanzhong quickly. Shangluo is too easy to be entangled by the officers and soldiers."
"Well, Wang also has this idea. Wu Laogou led his troops into Shangluo. Hanzhong and northern Sichuan must be weakly defended. If we withdraw at this time, we may be able to kill the officers and soldiers by surprise."
In fact, Wang Daliang had already made up his mind. The reason for the discussion was just to hear everyone's opinions.
In fact, at the beginning, when Wang Daliang led his troops to the north, he wanted to enter Shaanxi and join Wang Jiayin. Youdao had his back against a big tree so he could enjoy the shade. However, no one expected that he would make a big fuss on Shangluo Road, while Wang Jiayin headed northwest.
After retreating, Wu Yangui died in northern Shaanxi.
Sometimes I have to say that things are really mysterious. Wang Daliang only wanted to go north, while Wang Jiayin in Shaanxi had been trying to find a way to cross the Yellow River south and get out of Shaanxi. Wang Daliang felt that Shaanxi was better, while Wang Jiayin felt that the Central Plains had more prospects.
...
At night, in a dilapidated courtyard in the south of Shangzhou City, several figures gathered together, quietly plotting something.
"What time is it now?"
"Boss, it should be almost Hai hour now."
"Hai Shi? Let us know. Let the brothers prepare secretly. When the time comes, use fire as a signal. Everyone will spread out in the city, try to distract the attention of the rebels, and find a way to knock down the north gate!"
A big man's eyebrows raised slightly, he clenched his fist and waved it in the air. The weak moonlight swept across his face, revealing a resolute face. Li Wanqing's mood was very complicated, excited and a little nervous. This was a task he had volunteered for.
, if we can successfully capture Shangzhou, it will be a great achievement. If we fail, we will lose the trust of General Tie.
The midnight hour passed, and the ugly hour soon came. At this time, most people had already fallen asleep. In the silence, suddenly a fire burst into the sky in a house in the south city, and then bursts of yelling and cursing were heard, mixed with the occasional scream.
Some of the defeated soldiers who escaped from Luonan City seemed to have gone crazy, killing the people around them and then setting fire to their houses.
The accident happened so suddenly that many people died in their dreams before they woke up.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire South Street fell into chaos. The patrol team blew their whistles and began to rush towards Nancheng. But at this time, South Street turned into a mess. Some people set fires, some put out fires, and others
The people secretly attacked.
Wang Daliang woke up from his sleep. When he knew the details of the matter, he swayed and slapped himself hard on the face.
They were careless. The officers and soldiers captured Luonan City using this move. Unexpectedly, they were not prepared.
However, who would have thought that as soon as the officers and soldiers used this move, they would immediately use the same trick again. Moreover, even if they were to defend against it, it would be difficult to defend against it unless all the defeated troops in Luonan City were placed under house arrest and observed for a few days.
"Send the order, all the broken troops in Luonan City will be gathered at Caishikou, and more patrols will be added. Anyone who is still wandering outside and doesn't know where they belong will be killed on the spot!"
Wang Daliang was enraged this time. Even if there were accidental killings, he would kill all the officers and soldiers who sneaked into the city.
