Zhang Jin and Liu Wu didn't have to offend Feng Chong, but Wang Xu didn't dare to offend Feng Chong. He quickly gave Feng Chong a fist, and then said: "As a general, one is loyal to the emperor, and the other is to protect the family and the country."
"Now the king's army is attacking Nanyang. Chen Fuping and others did not fight a single battle and retreated to Nanyang City to refuse to defend."
"Of course this is wise. But he also took the initiative to abandon the people of Nanyang. Of the 20,000 people currently in Nanyang City, how many family members are outside the city?"
"Even if you don't have family members outside the city, don't you have friends and relatives?"
"The general can send troops..."
Before Wang Xu finished speaking, Zhang Jin showed an evil look and interrupted him, saying: "You want me to send troops to burn, kill and loot in China?"
"Inspiring the soldiers of the Chu army in Nanyang to protect our family. Let Chen Fuping have no choice but to lead his troops to fight against me?"
Liu Wu said categorically:
"Impossible. The Emperor has said it. Han and Chu are fighting for legitimacy. We can conquer cities and territories without frowning. But we will not kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Feng Chong shook his head repeatedly and said, "I thought you had some clever plan. That's it?" As he said that, he cast a look of disdain on Wang Xu.
He was a bastard in his early years and had no love for the people. But after so many years under Wu Nian, I have been influenced by it. Moreover.
Once they do this, they will win.
He also knew that the emperor would never spare him.
Wang Xu looked at the three people who had either unkind or mocking expressions on their faces. He quickly clasped his fists and bowed in salute, saying, "Of course I don't really do this. The guilty general also knows that the emperor's military laws are strict and there is no room for sand in his eyes."
"You can spread rumors and act."
"As long as it is made more realistic, it will be enough to shake the morale of the soldiers in Nanyang City."
"When the time comes, Chen Fuping will either lead his troops out to fight to the death with Master Wang. Or he can only watch helplessly as the army is defeated without a fight."
"Huh?" Zhang Jin and the other three's eyes lit up. Feng Chong pinched his bearded chin and said, "Spread rumors and pretend to send troops to burn, kill, and loot."
"Not bad, not bad, you can try it."
"Yeah. Let's do it together." Zhang Jin also nodded and said.
.............
The whole of Nanyang.
The Chu army occupied the city of Nanyang.
The Han army occupied five cities at the Wuguan Pass, and the remaining cities currently have no owners.
His county is one of them.
Within the county, there is a village called Wangjiacun. As the name suggests, most people in the village have the surname Wang. It is both a village and a clan.
When they heard that the Han army was coming, the village was originally in panic. Later, I heard that the county magistrate had run away, and I became even more panicked. The villagers have no intention of working, they are like frightened birds, they will run away if they are even frightened.
But they soon discovered that there was no sign of war and chaos, and life was just like before. So the villagers lived their lives as usual.
As it should be, so be it.
noon.
It's the busy time for farming. The fields outside the village are full of crops.
From the current point of view, this year will be a good harvest.
The children brought meals. The villagers sat on the field ridge in twos and threes, eating and chatting.
"By the way, the military discipline of the Han army is good. In the past, this was not the case in government propaganda. They said that the military discipline of the Han army was corrupt. Wherever they passed, they were like locusts passing through. They burned, killed, looted, and the land was completely white."
"Yes. It seems that the government deliberately promoted it like this. Haha."
Villager Wang Ding was having a meal and chatting with fellow tribesmen Wang Zhan and Wang Yang.
After talking about the military discipline of the Han army, they turned to this year's situation, and they all looked forward to it. As long as there is a good year, you can live a good life next year.
The life of a farmer is one year after another.
It all depends on God for food.
at this time. When Wang Ding heard the commotion, he couldn't help but stand up and look in the direction of the village, his face changing slightly. After a while, someone screamed: "Run quickly, the Han soldiers are burning, killing and looting."
"Run quickly."
"Run quickly."
Wang Ding's heart trembled, he quickly threw away the bowls and chopsticks, spread his legs and walked towards the village. But after a moment, his body stiffened.
A group of powerful armored soldiers appeared in front, tall and strong, with ferocious faces. The armor gleamed in the sun, and the weapons were extremely sharp.
After the battle between heaven and man, Wang Ding spread his legs and ran away while crying.
"Damn the Han army. I thought they were good people, but I didn't expect them to be soldiers and bandits. I pity my wife, children and parents."
Wang Ding burst into tears and left.
The others did not hesitate and ran away.
The Han army pursued them, seemingly trying to kill them all.
In fact, after chasing for a while, they stopped chasing and returned to the village.
In Wangjia Village, large numbers of Han troops surrounded the village. The leader is a member of the Baihu family, named Chen Jiang.
The men, women and children in the village were gathered at the entrance of the village.
They looked horrified, and many of them started crying.
Chen Jiang's face was slightly red. He had fought in battles all his life and followed the emperor from the dragon into the pass, but he had never done such a job. He quickly explained loudly: "Fellow folks in Nanyang, we have no intention of burning, killing, looting. Please don't worry."
"What about you? Go back home. Bring your valuables and come with us. We will take you to the military camp and treat you well. Afterwards, everyone will be given rations."
"Please cooperate and put on a play."
Chen Jiang didn't say anything about acting. The young and old didn't quite believe what Chen Jiang said, but now that people are like Daozu, I can't do anything about fish and meat.
They could only cry and go back to their homes, pack up, take their cattle, chickens, ducks, and valuables, and leave with the Han army.
Soon after the Han army left, Wang Ding and other escapees returned to the village. They cried loudly as they looked at the deserted village.
"God damn the Han army. Ahhhh."
Such a scene was staged in many places, and the whole of Nanyang was shocked. Many people dragged their families and families to the surrounding mountains to avoid the "soldiers and bandits".
In fact, these people who were kidnapped by the Han army were really well treated.
The Han army provided rice and meat to the people, and the food was better than what they had at home.
This news also reached the ears of the Nanyang defenders.
General's Mansion, in the study. Chen Fuping sat at his desk, looking down at the account books, calculating grain, grass, military supplies, etc.
"Da da da." A soldier broke in from the outside and bent down to report: "General. There is news that the Han army is burning, killing and looting in Nanyang, and the people are being killed."
"What did you say?" Chen Fuping's expression changed drastically and he stood up.
His heart skipped a beat, realizing that this was a trick.
Unlike ordinary people, he knew the military discipline of the Han army.
Wu Nian sent troops, and the world was shocked. Han soldiers in the enemy's territory are as if they are in their own country, and they do not harm the people.
He didn't believe that Zhang Jin dared to send troops to burn, kill and loot.
If it's not true, it's false.
