"yes"
Xu Xian looked serious, turned around and left quickly. This attack on Lin'an, he adopted a strategy of attacking Huanglong directly. If this strategy is successful, it can make a huge difference.
The result was good. We successfully captured the palace and captured the emperor alive. However, we are now faced with a problem: how to recruit and surrender the Song army scattered in and around Lin'an City. Although the combat effectiveness of this army is not strong, it still has hundreds of thousands of people. If we don't Clean up and form a chaotic army, and several surrounding counties will suffer.
Returning to the palace, Xu Xian rode on the emperor's exclusive horse that his subordinates had collected, and said loudly: "Leave five thousand people to guard the palace, and the rest will follow me to subdue the defeated army in Lin'an."
What happened next shocked Xu Xian. It took nearly an hour for more than 30,000 people to sort it out, and it was still a mess.
Xu Xian rushed into the crowd and grabbed a soldier at random. After questioning, he found out that a lot of things had been robbed today and everyone had become rich. They were unwilling to fight any more and wanted to stay.
Xu Xian was so angry that he just wanted to kill people. The mob was just a mob, and he didn't look at the situation around him at all. If he didn't care about these people and waited for the Qin King's army from all over the country to arrive, no matter how much money he had, he would be able to take advantage of others, and all of these people would be dead.
"Everyone, the place we occupy right now is just a small part of the Song Dynasty. There is still a large territory waiting for us. There are millions of troops scattered in those places. If we don't defeat them, we will wait until they are fully prepared. A shocking battle.”
Xu Xian shouted loudly, hoping to persuade these people.
However, there was only a buzzing sound in response, as if they were waiting for others to respond to Marshal Xu.
"I made you greedy for money, I made you short-sighted!"
Xu Xian gritted his teeth and grabbed the torches from several soldiers, rushed to the carriages loaded with gold, silver and jewelry, and threw the torches down.
There were more than forty soldiers on the spot who regarded the gold and silver treasures as their own. They drew their swords and slashed at Xu Xian's body with fierce expressions, destroying people's money and killing their parents. It doesn't matter whether you are a rebel commander or a murderer, you will still be killed.
With Xu Xian's current strength and speed, even Fa Hai, who is at the Arhat level, is no match. Forty or so ordinary people are nothing.
Bang bang... There was a rapid crash, and more than forty soldiers lay on the ground, all bleeding from their orifices. Ordinary people could not resist Xu Xian's heavy punch.
"Who else is there? Who else is there?"
At this moment, Xu Xian finally understood that in addition to rewards and punishments, the way to govern his subordinates is to be ruthless. Only when his subordinates see his ruthlessness will they be afraid and will they carry out his orders to the letter.
He once read a story about a grassland hero in historical records. It said that when Maodun Chanyu of the Xiongnu tribe was not a Chanyu, he was almost killed by Touman Chanyu, the father of his doting son. So he trained the army with rattling arrows. He said, Wherever he shoots, his subordinates will shoot there. He shoots the first arrow at his beloved horse, and those who do not follow are all brutally executed. His second arrow shoots at his concubine, and those who do not follow are all killed. He was brutally executed. From then on, no one dared to disobey his orders. One day while hunting, he shot an arrow at his father Touman Shanyu, and his subordinates followed suit without hesitation. Touman Chanyu was killed on the spot, and Maodun became the new Chanyu.
If it weren't for Mao Dun's ruthless tactics, how could his men dare to shoot Shan Yu.
With these words in his mind, Xu Xian looked around with fierce eyes. The unwilling soldiers lowered their heads under Xu Xian's gaze.
"Those who are left to guard the palace will receive 80% less of their wealth and distribute it to those who are willing to go on an expedition."
Xu Xian did not do anything, promising greater benefits to those who were willing to go on the expedition.
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers who were originally reluctant to go on the expedition became confused. Following Marshal Xu on the expedition would not necessarily lead to death. If they did not follow the expedition, the losses would be great. 20% of what they had gained would be deducted.
Then, something happened that shocked Xu Xian. Only a thousand people were willing to stay, and the rest all expressed their willingness to go to war.
Such a result once again refreshed Xu Xian's understanding of his subordinates. An army that only values money and protects his own life. If he were not strong enough, he would have been wiped out by the imperial army. No wonder there are so many lower-class uprisings in history. They all failed. Only if this kind of thing can conquer the world will it be a ghost.
The remaining four thousand people still needed to be replenished. Xu Xian rode a tall horse and walked through the chaotic team, kicking out the weak, old and young. There were six or seven thousand people.
"These more than 7,000 people will stay and guard the palace. The rest will follow me."
With a wave of his hand, Xu Xian led more than 20,000 people and rushed to every corner of Lin'an Prefecture with murderous intent. In one night, with the light of swords and shadows, he captured more than 80,000 defeated soldiers of the Song army and beheaded the evil-doing defeated soldiers. Thousands of people.
Some of Xu Xian's green-skinned soldiers saw the ugly scenes created by the Song soldiers one after another, and said to Xu Xian with emotion that they did not expect that the Song soldiers who were chased like rabbits by them would treat the unarmed people so harshly, even seven or eight-year-olds. Little girls and pregnant women were not spared.
"When the Wu Hu invaded China, we Han people were more cruel to our own people than the Hu people."
At that time, Xu Xian said these words with a faint look on his face.
Early the next morning, Xu Xian led a huge mob of 100,000 people to leave Lin'an. It took him six days to capture most of the East Liangzhe Road, and another ten days to capture part of the West Liangzhe Road. Most of Jiangnan East Road.
The process was not generally smooth. Many times, the letter of surrender was delivered as soon as the troops entered the territory. In order not to cause too much turmoil, Xu Xian asked all those who surrendered voluntarily to act as officials and to lead soldiers.
When he returned, his strength had swelled to 180,000, a number that had been reduced after Xu Xian left tens of thousands of people to guard the place.
By the way, it rained on the day of return. Some people said that it was God cleansing the blood from the world.
In order to celebrate the victory of the first expedition, Xu Xian held a banquet in the palace for the heroes, surrendered generals and civil and military officials.
It was rainy and windy at night, and the weather was cool.
In the Daqing Palace, Xu Xian was sitting high on the dragon chair. The generals belonging to Xu Xian's side ate and drank without any scruples. The generals, civil and military officials of the Song Court all looked embarrassed, because their emperor was also here.
"Your Majesty, the abdication ceremony will be held in three days."
Xu Xian, who was sitting on the dragon throne, said with a smile to the emperor sitting on his right.
"good"
The emperor's face was full of bitterness. The whole family was in Xu Xian's hands. He didn't want to annihilate the clan, so he could only cooperate.
Except for a few of Song Ting's subordinate generals and civil and military officials, most of them had expressions of shame. In their hands, their good kingdoms would be gone. I'm sorry, Emperor.
"Commander, something is wrong outside!"
A green-skinned general ran into the hall in a panic. The bright light armor on his body made the sound of gold and iron clashing.
"You can continue, I will come back as soon as I go."
Xu Xian pushed aside the cases in front of him and rushed out like a cannonball.
