What's wrong with this?
Isn’t this what everyone did when they put down some rebellions in the past?
Those who follow the culprits in the uprising tend to pursue interests, and as long as they get enough benefits or feel enough danger during the uprising, they will begin to waver.
At that time, as long as a proclamation is issued to kill the ringleader group but not the ordinary followers, the rebel army can be divided and disintegrated.
Because the Jin Army is in a strong position after all.
So Tang Kuobulin persuaded: "Commander of the Army, what is the most important thing right now? It is to put down the rebellion and end the chaos, and then solve these problems. If the rebels do not lay down their weapons and surrender, they will still have the strength to fight again." , and there are risks.
If they put down their weapons and wait for the storm to pass, the commander-in-chief can use various means to deal with them overtly or covertly. By then, it's up to you to settle the accounts, so why bother to rush? "
What Tang Kuobulin said made sense. Shuhu Siji thought about it carefully and felt that the most important thing at the moment was indeed to quell the rebellion.
We can talk about the rest later, but the rebellion cannot continue.
If it continues, it will be open to question whether this lie can be sustained.
Thinking like this, Shuhu Siji suppressed his displeasure and nodded slowly.
"What you said makes sense, so let's do it this way, but if the rebel army refuses to accept it, I will bloodbath Fei County."
"Thank you so much, Commander-in-Chief! I will make arrangements immediately! If the rebel army cannot see clearly the current situation and stubbornly resists, it is not impossible to bloodbath Fei County. Bloodbath in one county will frighten the rebels throughout Shandong. This is okay. "
Shuhu Siji nodded in agreement.
Tang Kuobulin received the support of Shuhu Siji and immediately began to arrange the recruitment and surrender.
Recruiting and surrendering is very particular.
We cannot recruit them all to surrender, and we cannot kill them all.
Recruiting them all will make people less afraid, and they will easily surrender and rebel again. Killing them all will make the thieves stubbornly resist until the last person, and their own side will suffer too much loss.
Therefore, the general process of recruiting and surrendering is to kill the culprits and those who led the rebellion, their families, and cronies. The rest can be spared, recruited, and allowed to go home, with the guarantee that they will not be held accountable.
They also put a price on the head of the group of culprits who must be killed, such as rewards of money, land, official positions and even titles, etc., in order to stir up the restless hearts of the restless people within the rebels.
This method can cause them to have civil strife, distrust each other, and be wary of each other.
The best-case scenario is that internal fighting breaks out and the enemies are still killing each other. That would be great for the Jin Army.
Anyway, this is how the Jin Army dealt with rebel insurgents in the past. With a set of fixed procedures, it was easy to do it with ease.
Soon, the surrender notice was written out by a military official and handed over to Tang Kuobulin.
Tang Kuobulin handed the notice to Shuhu Siji and asked Shuhusiji to read it. After reading it, Shuhusiji nodded and thought it was OK, so he sent someone to copy a hundred copies of the notice, and then sent someone to use arrows to Shoot it into the camp of the Liberation Army.
Everything was ready, and the cavalry team had set off to shoot arrows. Suddenly, Wugu Lunjige came to see Shuhu Siji with a nervous look on his face.
Shuhu Siji summoned Wugu Lunjige.
"Why are you so anxious to find me?"
"A very strange thing."
Wugu Lunjige said in a low voice: "Commander of the Army, when my subordinates were interrogating the rebel officers, some of the rebel officers said that an army in Tai'an Prefecture called the Shengjie Army had won a great victory and was annihilated. There are more than 20,000 of us, and the leader is a hussar general named Su."
Shuhu Siji was stunned.
Tai'an Prefecture...
There should indeed be a war, because that's where Jiagu Asu went.
Victory over the Czech army?
Are they allies of the Liberation Army?
More than 20,000 people?
Are you kidding? Jiagu Asu's army only numbered over 10,000 people, and the remaining civilians and the like were only worth over 20,000 people. How could so many troops be killed?
Victory?
this……
Shuhu Siji began to worry, and his heart pounded.
But something doesn't feel right.
"Jiagu Asu sent troops earlier than us. If something really happened, all the rebels in Yizhou would know about it. There's no reason why we shouldn't know about it, right? Isn't there no news coming from the rear?"
He looked at Ugu Lunzige and asked this question.
He expected a positive answer.
Wugu Lunzige frowned and thought for a while, feeling that this made sense.
If something really happened, the Yizhou bandit army would know about it. Calculating time, they should also know about it. The rear will definitely send news, so that they will not be allowed to go deep alone like this and be in danger.
But there was no news at all from the rear.
This is enough to prove that nothing happened.
This may be a false statement used by the thieves to boost morale.
"You may be right to say that, because the rebels are likely to use this to boost their morale and fight against the official army, so it is very likely to be false. If there is no accurate news from the rear, this can only be regarded as a rumor and cannot be trusted."
Shuhu Siji relaxed a little.
"Speaking of which, Jiagu Asu also has two thousand cavalry. Even if the number is small, can the bandits defeat our two thousand cavalry head-on? This is impossible, right?"
Shuhu Siji looked at Wugu Lunjige expectantly.
Wugu Lunjige thought for a while and nodded.
"It's really unlikely. It's probably just a rumor and a bluff."
Shuhu Siji was very satisfied, nodded repeatedly, and then ordered Ugu Lunjige to strictly block such news and never let the army know about it, so as not to disturb the morale of the army.
Despite this, Shuhu Siji was still uneasy, so he sent someone back to inquire about the situation of Jiagu Asu's battle. Even if nothing happened, he wanted to have peace of mind.
The Liberation Army has just stabilized its morale.
After confirming the news that Su Yonglin was invited to come for assistance, the morale of the military was stable, and everyone began to work in an orderly manner, with great expectations for Su Yonglin in their hearts.
Zhao Kaishan ordered everyone to strengthen the fortifications, dig trenches, and set up many obstacles such as horses and iron caltrops to hinder the cavalry's advance to counteract the cavalry. He was ready to defend the camp to resist the Jin army and fight a protracted war with the Jin army.
Seeing the soldiers actively preparing for defense, Zhao Kaishan felt a little at ease.
But as soon as the place settled down, a group of Jin Army cavalry approached the Liberation Army camp. Under the extremely nervous situation of the Liberation Army, they shot a hundred arrows with recruitment notices into the Liberation Army camp, and then turned around Just run.
Zhao Kaishan felt strange and immediately asked someone to show him a copy. He didn't know if he didn't look at it. He almost lost his temper after seeing it.
This is a recruitment announcement, or a recruitment announcement to divide the upper and middle levels of the Liberation Army, with sinister intentions.
The Jin people announced that the imperial court is benevolent and does not like killing. The previous battle has fully proved that you gang of rebels are no match for the imperial army, so what confidence do you have that you can continue to rebel?
Your 8,000-strong army was annihilated by the imperial army in one fell swoop, and the rest fled in embarrassment. There is not much left. If you continue to fight, you will definitely have a narrow escape from death, and there is no possibility of survival.
Your leader cannot lead you to win the battle and gain benefits, but will instead expose you to such a dangerous situation. In this case, you should think more about your own affairs, such as considering surrendering to the court.
The imperial court solemnly promised to punish only the culprits and not the ignorant. As long as Zhao Kaishan, the leader of the thieves, his cronies, relatives, and important leaders of the rebels were all executed, the remaining people would be generously pardoned by the imperial court and would never be held accountable.
This is guaranteed by the credibility of the imperial court. As long as he is not the culprit and puts down his arms and surrenders, he will still be a good citizen of the Kingdom of Jin.
In addition, the imperial court will clearly put a price on the heads of those hateful rebels.
If there is a loyal person in the court who brings the heads of this gang of rebels to serve the court, he can be given rewards, official titles, or even titles.
The most valuable person is Zhao Kaishan. One of Zhao Kaishan's heads is worth millions of dollars, ten thousand acres of fertile land, and a third-rank official.
Next, Sun Ziyi, Su Yonglin, Zhao Kaihe, Zhao Xiang, Zhao Kai, Zhao Yucheng, Chen Qiaoshan, Li Xiao and other important leaders of the Liberation Army and their blood relatives and family members were counted one by one, and their heads were all clearly marked with prices.
Take one and you won’t have to worry about it in this life. You can change your destiny immediately and become the master!
Dear citizens of the Kingdom of Jin, it is better to act than to think. Kill the culprits and take the money and go home!
