After he finished speaking, the entire handsome tent fell into silence.
Luo Liba talked a lot and finally came here in a roundabout way.
Don't you just want to put a little gold on your face and make your surrender to the enemy more bright and noble?
Phew, scholars have such a long tongue.
Nie Chen was startled for a moment and then smiled and said,
"Okay, okay, since Mr. Han is willing to be a loyal and loyal man, he will not go out on the street anymore. I am very pleased that Mr. Han can abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side.
Then, please ask Mr. Han to provide me with something useful, for example, about the traitor Mingxuan. "
Han Sui nodded immediately and said,
"Returning to the Marquis, the emperor... the traitor Mingxuan has usurped and rebelled. He is very unpopular. Ever since he took over the capital, people in the capital have been filled with panic, complaints and opposition.
To deal with such subjects who were still thinking about Dafeng, Mingxuan used the most cruel method, peeling off the skin and cramping the muscles, killing chickens to scare the monkeys.
As a result, people closed their homes and did not dare to go out, and the capital was no longer as prosperous as it used to be.
Of course, with the Marquis's methods, you should roughly understand these things.
I want to tell you something that you don’t understand.
That is, Mingxuan's army also had quite a few complaints about him rebelling and proclaiming himself emperor. "
"Oh? Even his soldiers don't obey him?"
Nie Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Seeing Nie Chen's interest, Han Sui became cautious, stroked his beard and said,
"Master Marquis, think about it, whether it is your army or Mingxuan's army, they are all people of the wind. Everyone has been a person of the wind since they were born, and they have been people of the wind for five hundred years.
The word "Feng" has long been engraved in the bones. He Mingxuan suddenly told everyone that from now on you are no longer Feng people, but Koreans. Who can accept it all of a sudden?
Although the common people often couldn't afford to eat, they also knew that it was because of the military disasters that had occurred year after year and had little to do with the imperial court, so not many people were willing to hate the imperial court and the late emperor.
If it is true that the court is unjust and everyone hates the court, then he Mingxuan rises up, overthrows the court, and rebuilds the country, which can win people's hearts.
But the ones who oppressed the people were the Four Kings! The common people can distinguish between good and bad.
In the past hundred years, there has been no peasant uprising to overthrow the imperial court. This is evident from this.
Because everyone in the common people wants to have a good emperor with great talents and strategies, and have an upright and honest court to cut down the vassals and take over power, so that the people can live a good life.
That's a bit far. What I mean is that no matter whether they are common people or soldiers, they still think that they are wind people.
The reason why they raised troops with Mingxuan, and the reason why they also followed the other three kings to serve them, was just to make ends meet.
Therefore, when your army shouted that Feng Ren will not kill Feng Ren, those defeated soldiers quickly surrendered.
Now, there is not even a grain of food left in the Mingwu Camp. How many days can it last?
If the Marquis sends troops to attack, it is certainly possible to win, but the enemy is trapped and still fighting, so he must fight tooth and nail. No matter it is the enemy or our side, the casualties are not small, but we are all the wind people who die.
I advise the Marquis not to attack the camp, but to attack the heart first.
The Marquis only had to cook outside the camp every day and let the aroma of the food float into the enemy's camp. The hungry soldiers would definitely be intolerable.
Then shouting slogans of killing Mingwu, surrendering to the wind, and not killing the wind people will surely cause the enemy's barracks to mutiny, and they themselves will kill Mingwu and seek refuge with you, Lord Marquis.
By then, the tens of thousands of people inside, plus the tens of thousands of prisoners now, will add up to a hundred thousand. These are all veterans, and they will be able to form combat effectiveness immediately, which cannot be compared with the newly recruited soldiers.
If the Marquis does not object, I am willing to go to the prisoner-of-war camp in person to persuade those soldiers to join our army.
I am still a bit thin-faced on their side. The only ones who are loyal to Mingxuan are the generals and commanders. No one below the centurion is a noble, and there are not many loyal ones. You only need to kill those generals and commanders to gather the army. ! "
After listening to Han Sui's words, Nie Chen nodded. The strategies he mentioned were similar to those discussed by Nie Chen and Ouyang Ming, but Nie Chen was not worried about those surrendering troops.
After all, these soldiers have been feeding off Mingxuan before, and now they are being used to fight against Mingxuan. What if they mutiny? Or what should I do if someone secretly communicates with the enemy?
Now after listening to Han Sui's words, Nie Chen felt relieved and planned to continue using these people.
Their situation is different from that of Ning Wushuang's army last year.
Although those people also came over from King Anton, they had a friendship of fighting side by side before. The soldiers came to surrender sincerely, rather than being forced to surrender. In addition, Nie Chen and King Anton came back again later. Without war, he has enough time to integrate and absorb these people.
Give these people a sense of belonging.
But now, after they accepted this group of people, they were about to attack Mingxuan. Nie Chen was still a little worried before.
Before Nie Chen could tell the truth, Zhou An said first,
"Recruiting or surrendering, they are all enemy troops. If you ask me, just trap them and kill them. Keeping them is a waste of food. They are half-hearted and disloyal. Kill them all. It will save worry and effort."
Hearing this, Han Sui's heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking that something was wrong.
Ouyang Ming frowned and said,
"Junior brother, don't talk nonsense. Killing prisoners has been unlucky since ancient times. What's more, we are all wind people and have the same spirit.
Besides, if you kill prisoners on sight, who will dare to surrender to our army in the future? They will definitely fight to the death with our army. They would rather die than surrender. If one person fights tooth and nail, he will be completely defeated. Isn’t it just increasing the casualties of our army?
On the contrary, if our army is willing to accept and use these surrendered troops, it can set an example for the people of the world. When the enemy surrenders to our army again, they will not have so many worries.
To subjugate an enemy's army without fighting is to be a good person. These are the words my lord has said. Have you forgotten them? "
Zhou An sat down angrily, and Nie Chen smiled and said,
"Okay, Mr. Han is really wise, then just do as Mr. Han said.
Aaron, go get some clothes for Mr. Han. Don't freeze Mr. Han in this cold weather. "
"As commanded."
Hearing this, Han Sui smiled, clasped his hands and said,
"Compared with the Marquis and Mr. Ouyang, the talents of my subordinates are undoubtedly as bright as a firefly competing with the bright moon.
Now that I think about it, Mr. Hou is really a man of great wisdom, and every move he makes is extremely correct.
The rebel Mingxuan's rebellion was unpopular, so the Marquis supported Emperor Dafeng to win the hearts of the world. Only in this way could the soldiers surrender willingly and justly.
Mingwu is more brave than wise, and the Marquis is good at making clever plans. First, he uses his body as bait to lure the snake out of the hole, invites the king to enter the urn, and catches the turtle in the urn. Finally, he uses a trick to draw out the fuel from the bottom of the cauldron and cut off its food and grass. In one day, Mingwu is in a desperate situation.
Wonderful, wonderful! "
