Most people who practice martial arts are eager to see a strong opponent. Therefore, Ye Tie, who is most trusted by Ye Mingsheng, and Yuan Song, who has experienced battles for a long time, want to compete with Chen Chuanwu.
Because they knew that facing Chen Chuanwu alone would probably be a disastrous defeat, the two of them put down their dignity and decided to join forces to deal with Chen Chuanwu.
But who would have thought that even if the two confident people joined forces, they would not be able to defeat Chen Chuanwu in five moves!
The most exaggerated thing is that Ye Tie secretly told Ye Mingsheng afterwards that the reason why he and Yuan Song were able to go through five moves was because Chen Chuanwu secretly let the enemy go. Otherwise, Chen Chuanwu could have killed both of them within three moves... ······
When Ye Mingsheng learned this result, he was dumbfounded, but he finally understood why Chen Chuanwu was assigned to the Shenwu Army and received an exceptional promotion in the Shenwu Army of Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger.
As soon as Hong Min died, the fighting spirit of hundreds of bandits on Sanshi Slope collapsed in an instant. Unable to fight or escape, they could only choose to give up resistance.
Soon the remaining three hundred bandits all surrendered and knelt on the ground waiting for their fate.
"Sir, this battle is a complete victory! We killed the leader of the thieves, Hong Min, and attacked one hundred and seventy-eight bandits. The remaining three hundred or so people surrendered, and our army only suffered dozens of injuries!"
After cleaning the battlefield, Yuan Song, who was in charge of this battle, his dark face full of joy, bowed and reported to Ye Mingshenghui:
Hearing that only dozens of people were injured, Ye Mingsheng also had a look of satisfaction on his face. Yuan Song had indeed lived up to his trust.
"General Yuan, you have done a great job. Please pass on the order. All the soldiers who participated in this battle will be rewarded with three pieces of cotton cloth. The other meritorious soldiers will also be rewarded!" Ye Mingsheng, who was wealthy and wealthy, rewarded them without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, all the soldiers in the army were undoubtedly excited and shouted:
"Thank you for the reward, sir!"
"Master Ye is so righteous!"
"Swear allegiance to your Majesty to the death"
········
········
After commending all the soldiers in the army and letting Yuan Song lead his people back, Ye Mingsheng turned around and glanced at He Jingyun, who had been silent from the beginning, and asked with a smile:
"General He, how was this battle?"
"General Yuan has commanded well. Congratulations on your good general!" He Jingyun looked calm and said calmly:
Although He Jingyun said that he fit perfectly, with no faults at all, and his expression did not change much, Ye Mingsheng could clearly feel a sense of dissatisfaction in his tone.
This seems to be saying, leave the matter to me, I can do it better than him!
Ye Mingsheng smiled and reassured: "To deal with this little bait thief, it is enough for General Yuan to take action. When the big battle comes, General He will still have to take action to control the overall situation!"
Although He Jingyun, who was aloof and arrogant by nature, was not very impressed by Ye Mingsheng, he was still very impressed by Ye Mingsheng's words. His expression softened a little, he bowed slightly and said:
"Thank you for your attention, sir!"
After praising He Jingyun a few more times, Ye Mingsheng, who had won the battle, returned to Fengshan County with his victorious army.
In order to show off his prestige, Ye Mingsheng deliberately paraded the three hundred captured bandits through the streets of the county town, which attracted the people in the city to applaud and call the one that Ye Mingsheng blew, rare in the sky and rare on the earth. Searching···········
evening
In the main hall of the Ye Mansion, Ye Mingsheng sat at the head of the throne. Except for He Jingyun, who had excused himself from the meeting due to physical discomfort, more than ten generals including Yuan Song, Lin Huaiwu, Chen Chuanwu, and Ye Tie appeared in the hall. Down.
"Sir, what do you think we should do with the more than 300 bandits who were captured?" Lin Huaiwu came out and asked Ye Mingsheng:
"What do you think?" Glancing at Lin Huaiwu, Ye Mingsheng said in a deep voice:
Faced with Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Lin Huaiwu, who was mainly responsible for recruiting soldiers, did not hesitate and said directly:
"Your Excellency is responsible for recruiting soldiers. I think it's better to take them all under your command and let them perform meritorious service for their crimes!"
After Lin Huaiwu finished speaking, Yuan Song, who was standing aside, frowned slightly and seemed to have a different opinion. However, after thinking about it, Lin Huaiwu was right. Ye Mingsheng was now carrying the task of recruiting 10,000 soldiers. These three hundred No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still flesh. After hesitating for a while, he said nothing, waiting for Ye Mingsheng to make the final decision.
After considering Lin Huaiwu's proposal, Ye Mingsheng made a decision in his heart, shook his head and said:
"It's better to leave these three hundred bandits to Ma Runchuan. He is the magistrate of Fengshan County. According to the laws of Dazhou, don't let a guilty person go. Kill those who deserve to be killed, punish those who deserve to be punished, and serve in hard labor. of servitude.”
Lin Huaiwu originally wanted to use these 300 people to relieve the pressure of recruiting troops, but when he saw that Ye Mingsheng had made a decision, he had no objection and silently retreated...
Yuan Song frowned at Ye Mingsheng's decision.
As a person who has been leading troops all year round, he understands that a piece of smelly fish can ruin a pot of soup. The rural warriors he is recruiting now are either farmers, miners, or hunters, and most of them are people of pure nature.
Whether it is establishing military rules and disciplines, or daily training and command, it is easier.
If those bandits who have broken discipline and robbed families and homes are taken under their command, although the number of troops will be increased in the short term, it will easily destroy military discipline and spread some bad habits in the army, which is definitely not conducive to the long-term development and construction of the army.
Therefore, in Yuan Song's view, Ye Mingsheng made a very wise decision!
After discussing how to deal with the captured bandits, Chen Chuanwu, who was standing behind Yuan Song, stood up and asked for instructions:
"Sir, what should I do with Hong Min's body? Should I hang it on the city wall as a warning to Xiao Xiao and other bandits?"
Ye Mingsheng heard a flash of light in his eyes, waved his hand and said:
"I will use his body for another purpose!"
"Everyone must speak in the same tone to the outside world and say that he has escaped!"
Upon hearing what Ye Mingsheng said, the young and energetic Chen Chuanwu couldn't hide his thoughts and asked in confusion:
"Sir, why are you doing this? Many people saw me kill him with one shot..."
"I just want this effect!" Ye Mingsheng smiled slightly and said mysteriously:
Although Chen Chuanwu has a relatively straightforward temperament, he still understands the basics of observing words and emotions. When he saw that Ye Mingsheng was unwilling to say anything, he also backed away with doubts.
After discussing some more matters, such as the progress of recruiting soldiers, training soldiers, and the arrival of supplies, everyone here quietly focused on Ye Mingsheng. This last and most important thing. Ye Mingsheng needs to take care of the matter!
