Of course, on the battlefield, winning is the principle, and achieving the goal is the argument. Duan Ye didn't give them a chance to think clearly. After shouting what should be shouted, he ordered all the archers to shoot arrows at the top of the city.
At this time, because the soldiers at the top of the city were stunned by the shouting offensive just now, a volley of fire actually caused a lot of casualties. By the time the soldiers at the top of the city hid in the bunker and were ready to fight back, Duan Ye had already brought
People withdrew.
Lu You's cavalry was covering the outside of the city, and Xie Batian did not dare to pursue him. He could only watch the so-called Jiuquan Army swaggering away, but Xie Batian keenly noticed that the soldiers' eyes were a little strange.
The men who were bleeding from their swords in battle did not care about the words that were used to appease the people. They were just talking about the situation.
But the matter of Lord Song Hao's corruption is different! Especially, as mentioned below, Song Hao embezzled not only other money, but also military pay!
Military pay! It is always the most sensitive issue in the army. As the old saying goes, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. In later generations, ordinary people will make a little fuss over unpaid wages. But throughout the dynasties, if you dare to cheat the big soldiers to get money, he will kill you!
Good to die, as I just said below, they are the same army of the Qin Empire, at the same level, and the salary they receive is uniformly allocated by the governor of Liangzhou, but why is it 50% more? Why?
Song Hao loved the people like a son and was diligent and impartial. The big soldiers had been staying in Jiuquan for a long time. They were familiar with these things, but what they knew even more was the military pay they received every month!
Since the local tax revenue from Jiuquan is not used, but the money is distributed from above, why is it less?
Finally, a brave man stood up and asked nonchalantly: "General, this matter about military pay..."
There is no problem with Xie Batian's loyalty, and there is no problem with his bravery, but after all, he doesn't understand these twists and turns, and he has been in a bad mood in recent days. Someone actually asked, and he said angrily: "What's military pay?
Which month has military pay not been paid to you? Don’t listen to the rebels’ nonsense!”
After saying this and ordering them to guard this section of the city wall and monitor the enemy, Xie Batian left angrily. He was very busy and did not and was unwilling to explain these things.
But the top soldiers were murmuring. It was true that military pay was paid on time, but was it withheld? You must know that it is tradition for officials to withhold military pay. If everyone knows it well, it is nothing, nothing more.
Life is tighter.
But the problem is that for a long time, Song Hao and his subordinates have been portrayed as the image of Lord Qingtian. If such an honest and respected person turns out to have been deceiving them and deducting their military pay, it would be a big mistake.
Can you tolerate this kind of thing?
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will be like poison, corroding trust little by little. Once it reaches a certain critical point, it will explode.
Duan Ye hummed a little tune and rode back proudly. He only hated the fact that the literacy rate in this era was too low. The method of relying on leaflets that some people used was not feasible. Even if you shot it, people would not be able to understand it.
What's the use? It's better to shout.
All kinds of doubts and all kinds of derived negative emotions need to be fermented. Duan Ye still has some confidence in human nature. What he shouted today were sensitive issues. So many people in the city heard it, and the whole army shouted later, it was
There are many common people who can hear it. There must be someone who can spread such weird words, and it is unlikely that Song Hao will give an order not to go out and not to discuss. In that case, it will be equivalent to confirming the accusation. I am afraid that if Jiuquan City is not attacked, it will be destroyed.
.
You must know that defending the people is more important than guarding Sichuan. Now, the more than 10,000 soldiers and 100,000 people in Jiuquan City are Duan Ye's best help!
Everything Duan Ye did was not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy. Everything was laid out on the surface, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the purpose at a glance.
The reason why a conspiracy can succeed is that you don't know the purpose. Once you see through it, it's worthless. But the great thing about a conspiracy is that you know it's meant to deal with you, but you can't do anything about it.
As for not immediately bringing up the boulder artillery team and blasting him to pieces, it was because these little words needed time to ferment. When people were panicking, once the city was defeated, Jiuquan City would be in the bag.
Of course, this speed must be grasped well. Song Hao is not mediocre, but his reaction is a little slow. Once he is given time and uses some ruthless means to win back the hearts and minds of the military and the people, there will be only one way to fight to the death.
Lu You, who was standing next to him, saw that Duan Ye was smiling all the time, and asked coldly: "Do you win the war with your empty words and white teeth? Jiuquan City is still standing tall."
"It's still there now, but it won't be here tomorrow." Duan Ye didn't show any weakness, "But if you lead troops to attack Jiuquan, how many days will it take to attack Jiuquan?"
A trace of displeasure flashed across Lu You's face, but he still suppressed his anger and said, "Not even for a month."
“If you can’t do it in one month, why care about one day?”
"Then let's wait and see." Lu You said coldly, then rode away. Duan Ye looked at Lu You's back with a smile. When he walked away, the smile on his face completely disappeared.
On the other side, Liang Yin's army had just passed Zhaowu County in Zhangye County and was still about two days away from Jiuquan. However, it heard a report from the primary school that a Hu army was approaching quickly. After inquiring, it was Na Lu.
The people of Shuihu, Juquluo, and Luoqiu.
Liang Yin was overjoyed when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Then hurry up... no, I will go to meet them personally! Now with the help of this force, the Lu bandits can be defeated in just a day!"
The Lu Shuihu tribe is actually the authentic descendant of the Huns. Their bloodline is much purer than that of Liu Yuan and others. They come from the Bu family of the Huns Tu various tribes.
, just like the origin of the surname Sima in the royal family of the Jin Dynasty. Now the chief of Lu Shuihu is Mengxun and Nancheng's uncle Juqu Luoqiu. Since he came in person today, it is also a way of expressing his stance and standing in line. Because
Liang Yin also knew that during the Western Expedition of Lu Guang's army, Juqu Mengxun and Nan Chengdu actually served in the Western Expedition. Although they returned to the tribe in time, Liang Yin was always worried about their attitude. After all, they were too close to Guzang.
Once he falls to Lu Guang, the consequences are extremely unpredictable.
As for the Bald-haired family of the Xianbei tribe in Hehuang, there is currently no news, which made Liang Yin specially reserve a force to monitor them.
Not far away stood a dark team, all cavalry, wearing armor and uniforms. Although they were not uniform and not as powerful as the unified uniform of the Liangzhou Army, the soldiers were all full of energy, majestic and murderous.
The battle flags they held high had no words at all, and were all patterns of wild animals, such as flying dragons, flying tigers, flying leopards, flying snakes, etc. Liang Yin understood that each of these patterns represented a small tribe, indicating that Juquluo
Qiu is a group of troops temporarily summoned from various tribes.
