In Tancheng County, the Donghai Prefecture faces south, in the north direction of the city. The cornices outside the Prefecture are raised, and the four black-painted pillars on the front outside the gate stand on round blue pillars to support the beam head and forehead. The pillars and branches are closely connected, the brackets under the eaves are like the moon, the two ends of the main ridge are slightly upturned, and there are a pair of Xie Zhi animals, and the vertical ridge is decorated with nameless horned animals.

Four people wearing Beifu Army armor stood guarding the door with swords in their hands, acting as government servants to maintain order. Xu Zongwen and the others walked from the backyard to the lobby, passed through Jie Shifang, Yimen, and the main gate. The alley outside the mansion was crowded with people. They were all crowded together, and at first glance they were all villagers who had gotten up early. Some of them gathered outside the house to look at the notices posted by the Jin army to calm the people last night, and most of them were busy on their way.

Xu Zongwen wore casual clothes in Tsing Yi and took Zhang Si to the surrendered Qin Army barracks in the southern city of Tancheng. There were now 7,000 disarmed troops stationed there, and the most important ones were nearly 2,000 soldiers of the Di and Xianbei tribes. So he deployed Zhuge Kan, Tian Luo, Zhang Gui and Zheng Lue to take turns on duty day and night in order to avoid any trouble.

"Who is on duty at the Nancheng camp today?"

Zhang Si brought the royal horse Qing Lei to Xu Zongwen and climbed up. Xu Zongwen was wearing flowing white tiger boots on his feet. Under his crotch was a black leopard-tailed horse with white hooves and a black body. The name of this horse was Qing Lei. It was the royal horse given by Emperor Jin when he promoted him to the rank of Cavalry Commander.

"Back to the captain, it's fake Sima Shen Yu, and he has a thousand elite soldiers."

It would be nice if it was Shen Yu!

Among Xu Zongwen's men, Shen Yu and Zheng Lue were close friends with Xu Zongwen and knew everything about them. Tian Luo and Zhang Gui were very capable but were not taken seriously by the Beifu generals. They are loyal, but when it comes to wisdom and military strategy, among these six people, no one can be better than Shen Yu!

"Inform Shen Yu that everyone should leave the camp and assemble and stand by."

"No!" Zhang Si sent a messenger to ride on a fast horse and rush to Nancheng.

"Drive!" Qing Lei, who was combing the fur on his neck, received the instruction from his master. His whole body trembled and his ears stood up. He skillfully and vigorously raised his seemingly spotless snow-white hooves, carrying Xu Zongwen and then galloping forward like lightning. .

In the south city of Tancheng, the gate of the Qin army's barracks.

"Brother, a thousand people have guarded the two exits of the camp." Shen Yu trotted over and said.

Xu Zongwen nodded, and the two men entered the barracks with a dozen sergeants.

"Shen Yu, go and gather everyone to the school grounds. I have something to say."

"promise!"

Xu Zongwen planned to copy what he did in Xiapi. He would first remove the wariness of the surrendering Qin army, then select elite soldiers to enrich his elite cavalry, leaving some Han Qin troops to continue to maintain the daily defense of Tan City and the four city gates, and dismiss the remaining people. , completely digest these seven thousand people!

At nine o'clock, all seven thousand Qin troops arrived, divided into three thousand-man teams, and filled the small school ground. Everyone stared at the empty school ground and began to talk about it. For a while, the whole school ground was at its peak, and it was a mess.

Xu Zongwen had just changed into a suit of armor below, and as soon as he stepped onto the school field, he caused a commotion.

"Who is this?"

"She has thin arms and tender legs, and she looks quite fair. She hasn't been weaned yet, right?"

"Hahaha……"

In the crowd, several Di Qin soldiers were whispering to each other and they didn't know what they were discussing, and the Han people on the side couldn't understand either.

"Everyone!" Xu Zongwen cleared his throat and said loudly: "I am the Cavalry Commander Xu Xiao. Maybe you don't know who I am, but I can tell you a piece of news. The Qin army is in Feishui and in Shouyang. The city was defeated! A total of 300,000 vanguard troops were killed by our king's division, and more than 100,000 were killed. The rest were routed. Now the king's division is heading north, not to mention the small Tancheng, the small Donghai County, the entire Xuzhou, and even the Central Plains. Will be restored!"

"Hiss--" The seven thousand people in the school grounds were all shocked when they heard the news that the Qin army was defeated and the Jin army was heading north!

In fact, the news of the defeated army spread all over the sky very early, but they all regarded it as a rumor and thought it was a campaign by the Jin army. After all, the King of Qin had assembled an army of one million, but the Jin army could only challenge a hundred thousand. With such a disparity in strength, how could the Jin army defeat the powerful Qin army?

But the reality is that the Jin army led by Xu Zongwen has captured Tancheng. If the news is false, it is impossible for the Jin army to dare to go deep into Tancheng alone. The result is obvious, the Qin army was really defeated!

"Last night, you made a very wise decision. I know that there are many Di people, Xianbei people, and even Qiang people, Huns and Jie people among you. You will wonder if I will order all of you to be executed. You will be worried that I will slaughter the Han people like cattle and sheep like you!"

When everyone held their breath, Xu Zongwen continued: "Today I can tell you that my master Wang never kills prisoners indiscriminately! My master Wang upholds the king's way and complies with the destiny of heaven. Wherever he goes, he is not good at taking anything from the people. I am not good at killing anyone in a city. Since you have put down your weapons, I can guarantee your safety, so put aside your grudges, throw away your doubts, and choose to believe me, Xu Xiao!"

"The Han people can choose to follow me, join the King's Army, expedition to the Central Plains, regain their homeland, wash away your shame, shine your lintel, and let your descendants a hundred years from now remember you as a hero!"

"For the remaining brothers of all ethnic groups, as long as you change your mind and put down your butcher knife, I will treat you all equally. If you want to return to Qin, I will let you go and never detain you!"

"Of course, if you are willing to stay, I will not expel you because you are a foreigner. I hope you will put aside your prejudices and create your own future with us! I will report it to the court, give you land, and let you all be integrated into the big army. With Jin’s household registration, we become a family!”

Xu Zongwen was very disgusted and even disgusted with these barbarians in his heart, especially because they were bloodthirsty in their bones and had no idea how much Han blood was stained on their hands. Xu Zongwen occasionally had an impulse in his heart. He wanted to kill all the barbarians and eradicate them to avoid future troubles!

But when will retribution end? After several generations of reproduction, the number of Hu people in the Central Plains, Guanzhong, Hebei and other places has exceeded ten million. Today he raised the butcher knife, and in the future more Han compatriots will die under the butcher knife of the Hu people.

So, reason ultimately triumphs over impulse.

Xu Zongwen looked at the crowd. He took off the long knife from his waist, supported it with his hand, and his tone suddenly became sharp: "But those who have illusions, want to muddle through, and want to cause chaos, you all should listen to me. Okay! The knife in my hand is not a fire stick, and the blood flowing in my chest is blood. You'd better think about it before making a decision, and don't regret your recklessness by paying a heavy price. Put down the sword and be an ordinary person. Isn't it good for people to work when the sun rises and breathe when the sun sets? Do you have to lick the blood with the tip of a knife and live a dark life with today and no tomorrow to feel happy?"

Xu Zongwen was eloquent and eloquent in front of the school stage. Shen Yu had no time to listen to what Xu Zongwen said in the audience. He was observing the 7,000 Qin troops surrendering on the school ground all the time, and at the same time, he asked his subordinates who were nearby every once in a while. Is the defense normal? Is there anything missing?

Last night, Shen Yu heard that Xu Zongwen would come to the Nancheng camp today, so he switched defenses with Zheng Lue and personally took on Xu Zongwen's security guard.

You must know that this is a total of 7,000 people. Once a riot breaks out, so many people cannot be completely controlled in a short period of time, and the situation will be uncontrollable!

Therefore, Shen Yu always pays attention to their movements and sends people to insert them to spy on their movements. Especially those barbarians are the key targets of Shen Yu's surveillance!

Xu Zongwen was still lobbying to completely dispel the concerns of the seven thousand soldiers, when Shen Yu's men suddenly came to report.

A smart and strong sergeant trotted over. He panted and whispered in Shen Yu's ear: "Fake Sima, it's bad! There are a few barbarians who are very restless and seem to be making trouble!"

It was Pang Bai, the captain of the Qin army who wounded Xu Zongwen's cheek with a crossbow arrow in the Battle of Feishui. He was captured and surrendered to the Jin army.

"Pang Bai, I'm keeping an eye on you, be sure to find out!" Shen Yu's eyes never left the surrender camp, and a stone finally fell to the ground in his heart!

"You two should be careful not to be exposed, and pay attention to safety." Shen Yu patted Pang Bai and warned him carefully, and the latter nodded repeatedly.

"promise!"

Xu Zongwen left the school stage in front of everyone watching. He had just taken two steps forward when he saw Shen Yu rushing towards him in a hurry. The armor quills on his body jingled along the way.

"What happened?" Xu Zongwen realized that something important must have happened in the Qin camp, and accelerated his pace towards Shen Yu.

Shen Yu pulled Xu Zongwen to a corner and said in detail: "Pang Bai said that someone in the camp is plotting to cause rebellion!"

Xu Zongwen's face was startled, and then he glanced sharply at Qin Bing who was leaving the school field one after another, and asked: "What are the details?"

"It's not clear yet, my people are still investigating." Shen Yu didn't hide anything and told the truth.

"After dark, you immediately secretly summon Zheng Lue and Tian Luo and lead 2,000 troops to Nancheng secretly. Tell Zhuge Kan that he will command the remaining three city gates. Watch the city gates tonight and don't let anyone go. Suspicious people leave!”

"Also, everyone who participates in the rebellion will be beheaded, and no one will be spared!"

Xu Zongwen said silently: "If you don't drink a toast, you will be punished with a drink."

This time, Xu Zongwen does not intend to leave any mercy to anyone!

When he surrendered to Xiapi, he beat to death more than a dozen Beifu soldiers who were robbing the government treasury for violating military laws. This time it was the Qin soldiers who made trouble. He was determined to punish these surrendered soldiers and treat these ignorant soldiers. Send down troops and strike with thunder!

At the same time, the method of killing can also serve as a warning to others. He believes that as long as these thorns are removed, it is only a matter of time before the seven thousand surrendered soldiers are completely convinced and used by him.
