Chapter 105 A gentleman can deceive him
Not to mention that Li Xin had a grand feast for the officials in Dalinghe City. During the banquet, Shi Yuan directly reported the results of the battle. It is estimated that about 4 routs were gathered, including 5000 routs of the Ming Dynasty. There are more than 30 Mongolian defeated soldiers, and the rest of the food, grass and equipment are countless.More importantly, among these captives, a total of more than [-] people, such as the governor Zhang Hongmo, the deputy general Yang Huazheng, Xue Dahu Manku and the generals, guerrillas, capital divisions, guards, guards, and thousands were captured alive.It can be said that if these people are persuaded to surrender, it will be enough to greatly increase the strength of Li Xin's army.

"My lord, I'm afraid these people won't be able to digest them in a short period of time, and they won't be able to go to the battlefield." Shi Yuan glanced at everyone in the hall, and said, "The number of prisoners is far greater than ours, and my lord should be careful. .”

"Yuan Zhi, do you know that these soldiers are actually the hardest in the imperial army." Li Xin played with the wine glass in his hand, and said lightly: "They are military households, but in fact, they are the generals. They are domestic slaves, and the treatment they receive is even worse. There are not many big men on the salary, and even eating at home is a problem. Do you think such soldiers will be loyal to the court? Mr. Zhang, I don’t know. Look at me, Li Xinjun, Lieutenant General What is the difference between appearance and court?"

"This?" Zhang Chun, who didn't want to speak at first, put on a bad face, was stunned when he heard this, but he couldn't speak.He is high above the ground, although he knows that the generals in the army are deducting the soldiers' pay, but he has no choice but to rely on these generals to lead the army to fight?It's just that when Li Xin said it at this time, he was really shocked. Would such a soldier, such an army, be loyal to the court?Zhang Chun is really not sure!

"Why? Old Mr. Zhang is not sure about this either?" Li Xin revealed a trace of disdain, and sneered, "Although fighting depends on the soldiers, it depends even more on those soldiers. If you don't treat these soldiers as human beings, Why do you let them willingly hand over their lives to you? The generals of the imperial court may not be able to do this! But I can do this. The grassland is extremely vast, from east to west, tens of thousands of miles away, these places In the future, it will be allocated to those soldiers. Whoever makes contributions will be able to share the land, ranging from tens of acres of land to hundreds of acres of land, whether it is horse herding or other things. It's all possible. As for the food and salary, it will not be cut off. Whoever dares to drink the blood of soldiers, I, Li Xin, will not spare him."

"My lord is wise." Shi Yuanzhi and the others hurriedly said.Only Zhang Chun's lips were trembling with anger, but the look of horror in his eyes was extremely obvious. This Li Xin is really too powerful. Although such a move is simple, it can easily win tens of thousands of soldiers. In order to protect their own interests, these people would willingly sacrifice their lives for Li Xin.Unexpectedly, at such a young age, Li Xin knew how to gather the morale of the army for his own use. This talent is the enemy.

"My lord, what should I do with those captured court generals?" Shi Yuanzhi asked again.

"What's Yuan Zhi's opinion?" Li Xin asked after thinking about it.

"If the subordinates think that they are willing to submit to the lord, the lord can let them stay. As for the rest, the lord can use this to ask the court to send the families of these soldiers to Liaodong via the Nine Sides." Shi Yuan thought for a while. just said.

"Is this possible?" Li Xin asked.

"Don't worry, my lord. In fact, most of the family members of these soldiers are in Liaodong, and only a few are in the Central Plains. As for the court's consent, I don't know, but I believe that the captured generals will agree." Shi Yuan Zhi said proudly.The generals in the hall suddenly burst into laughter.

"Yes, yes, they will agree." Li Xin was stunned, and quickly realized that most of these generals were from Liaodong. Whether it was the guards or soldiers from other places, they were basically from Liaodong. For the sake of their own lives, the generals would naturally send all the family members of their soldiers.

"My lord, now our army has more than 2 soldiers and horses, and there is a shortage of generals in the army, so what should we do?" Jiang Yi stood up and said loudly.The hall suddenly became silent. The families of these soldiers were settled, but there were too many soldiers, how many generals were there in the hall?Jiang Yi, Yang Xiong, Gao Meng, and Jutu are all direct-line generals, and He Kegang can also be trusted, but there are only so many generals, how can they lead so many soldiers.

"This is very simple. Bring the old with the new. We select excellent people from our original army to serve as generals and officers in the surrendered army. In this way, although the combat effectiveness may be reduced, don't forget, how do we train the army? , That’s what it came out of.” Li Xin was silent for a while, his tiger eyes lit up, and he snorted coldly: “In three days, Yuan Zhi, you can discuss with those generals here, and let them quickly send the soldiers’ The family members have all been sent here, so let’s say that the corpses of Jiannu here will be given to them for military exploits, and Jiang Yi, Yang Xiong, Jutu, and He Kegang, you four, make arrangements quickly, compete in the army, select generals, supplement Go to the surrendering army, these 1 people, I will lead the troops of the headquarters to Zhang Yifu, and you will each lead 5000 people, divided into Qinglong, Suzaku, Xuanwu, and Baihu. Intensify training, and must be within five days. Make peace with me. Sweep across the steppe."

"Your subordinate obeys the order." Jiang Yi and the others changed their expressions when they heard the words, and quickly accepted the order loudly.

"Hmph, wolfish ambition." Zhang Chun on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and said coldly.

"As for Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid you won't be able to return to the Central Plains. In fact, even if the old man returns to the Central Plains, he may be imprisoned by Emperor Chongzhen." Li Xin glanced at Zhang Chun, shook his head and said, "The old man is different from Sun Chengzong." , he is a member of the Donglin Party, even if he made a mistake, many colleagues are protecting him, plus his previous achievements, at most he was demoted to the people, but the old man is different, the emperor will not offend The generals in Liaodong can't touch Sun Chengzong, so the rest is the boss. If the boss does this, you will become that sinner. The reason why the battle of Dalinghe failed this time is also because of the boss. If you let the old man go back, it is tantamount to harming the old man. Thinking that the old man is so strong, how can Li Xin harm the old man?"

"Hmph, this old man would rather die at Caishikou in the capital than join your ranks." Zhang Chun's heart moved, but he still said coldly.

"Boss is a rare expert whether he is doing learning or commanding an army. How could Li Xin let him be stabbed at the entrance of the vegetable market?" Li Xin shook his head and said.

"Why, you can stop the old man's body, but also stop the old man's heart? If the old man wants to die, he can use any method." Zhang Chun said viciously.

"That's natural. If my lord wants to seek death, even if my lord is extremely capable, I won't be able to protect you, my lord." Shi Yuanzhi also nodded when he heard the words, and said, "It's just that after my lord dies, my lord will not be able to protect you." Will order people to spread the word that the boss was actually captured by Jiannu. After my lord defeated Jiannu, he found that the old man was wearing Jiannu's peacock patch, and even his hair had changed into Jiannu's hairstyle. Hehe, my lord, You have killed a lot of officials who built slaves this time. When the time comes, after the old man dies, use these clothes to put on the old man, and then find a powerful barber to shave off one of the old man's white hair. Cheng Jiannu's appearance. Well, with this appearance, and then send someone to send the old man's body to Jinzhou, or send it to the capital, in this way, it can be regarded as fulfilling the old man's loyalty to the emperor and patriotism."

"You, you." Zhang Chun opened his eyes wide and stared at Shi Yuanzhi, but he never thought that Shi Yuanzhi would come up with such an idea. What is it? The infamy of the upper body, even Zhang Chun's descendants will bear the infamy for a lifetime, and they can't hold their heads up at all.

"Don't be angry, my lord, calm down, my lord." Li Xin laughed secretly in his heart when he heard the words, and turned to Shi Yuanzhi and shouted: "Yuanzhi, why did you come up with such a tricky idea? My lord is a sincere person, and he is even more loyal to the Han family." Sir, how can you be so rude."

"This, this subordinate is guilty, please punish me, my lord." Shi Yuanzhi couldn't tell, this was Li Xin's intention, and he also pretended to have a look of panic on his face, secretly apologizing and not mentioning it.

"Hmph." Zhang Chunyu was still angry, and glared at Shi Yuanzhi.

"Your Majesty doesn't know. The reason why Li Xin used such a method this time is also a helpless move. He originally thought that after he could help him defeat Jiannu, he would deal with all the tribes in the grassland with peace of mind. Your Majesty knew that when he wanted to come, I led the army back then. Ten thousand is no longer acceptable to the princes of the court. If I want to go back to the Central Plains, I am afraid that I will be treated as treason. So in desperation, I had to lead the army to sweep the grassland, preparing to be a character like Huo Qubing. Thinking about these years, Mongolia The tribes did not rampage the Central Plains. I don’t know how many Han people in the Central Plains were captured. After a few years, these Han people have long lost the teachings of the sages of the Han family. If the old man can stay and spread the classics of our Han family sages on the grassland, it will be a good deed, and the name of the old man will be passed down through the ages. I wonder what the old man thinks?"

"This?" Zhang Chun hesitated for a while. He glanced at Li Xin, but he saw Li Xin holding a wine glass with a smile on his face, but he thought to himself: "This guy is obviously bullying me. If the old man refuses to agree, this little thing may really be like what Shi Yuanzhi said. After the old man dies, he will spread the bad reputation of the old man everywhere, let the old man wear Jiannu clothes and shave his hair. The old man's reputation alone It doesn't matter, but the reputation of my Zhang family's poems and books from generation to generation cannot be defeated by the old man. In this case, why don't the old man agree to it for the time being, and wait for the opportunity to persuade his generals. If he can instigate a rebellion, the old man can also face the emperor in the future If you can’t, just wait for the opportunity to escape.”

"The old man just promised you." Zhang Chun finally said with a sigh.

"Okay, since that's the case, I have a handwritten letter from the boss to bring the family members of the boss." Li Xin said with a smile.

"You, whatever!" Zhang Chun nodded after thinking about it, and immediately wrote a letter in hand, and Li Xin was sent to Changping without mentioning it.

"This is how a gentleman can bully you." Shi Yuan looked in his eyes and couldn't help admiring.
