Chapter 505: Attacking the Heart is the Best

Early the next morning, the sound of drums that shook the sky came out. This was the sound of the generals of the Central Army. The generals and generals reluctantly wore armor and rode their horses to the Central Army. The order of the central army was different from that of each battalion. Before dawn, they had already started practicing. The sound of shouting and shouting was endless. The old army could not help but frown secretly when they saw it. What does this mean? Do you mean to show them a face?

When they arrived at the tent of the Central Army, they really knew what it meant to show them the face. A row of people knelt in a row, more than thirty, and behind them were dozens of lieutenants with red ribbons wrapped around their arms, holding machetes in their hands, looking expressionless.

The wing Ding, who knelt on the ground and committed a crime, thought that he had interrogated all night overnight, so he was so angry that he was full of fear on his face. Many people saw Hu Dawei, and some of them cried like a howling: "General... General save me."

Hu Dawei originally wanted to go up and say a few words, at least he would have asked for love. Otherwise, if so many people would watch him, his commander would be a little dissatisfied. He had just moved forward one step, and a doctor hurried to the eyes of the wing Ding with his confession and said seriously: "Rottering, killing, ***, these three crimes are not wrong, right? Who else wants to defend?"

The clerks just cried and pleaded, saying one by one: "I know I'm wrong..."

"According to military law, those who participate in the above three crimes will be killed without mercy! Those who come will be executed!"

The Confucian sword rose in the mist, and passed the shadow of the stern sword, and fell cleanly in the air with a half arc. The crying stopped abruptly, blood splattered everywhere, and the head fell to the ground.

"Bring the team next!" The doctor's expression seemed very calm and said casually.

The generals here were so scared that their faces looked like earth, especially Hu Dawei. He originally wanted to say a few words of love, put on a smile, and said a few words of brothers everywhere, but at this time, his face froze. There was no anger on his face, only fear. His pupils shrank, and he immediately took back his feet and was stunned. When he turned around, he was shocked when he saw the generals who came with him, and could not say a word.

This Shen Lengzi...he really dares to kill people! A scholar has such sharp means, this...

Everyone suddenly felt a little shorter, and then they realized that some people could not mess with each other, and they could not even have a small rebellion.

If Shen Ao takes cow shit and says it is a flower, I am afraid that everyone present will have to smile and smell it, and even praise her with a thumbs up and say that the flower is extremely fragrant.

Another group of people were taken over. Hu Dawei and others did not dare to look at each other. They all stepped into the central army headquarters with their necks shrank. After reporting, they went in scatteredly. There were already many people coming from the tent. The people from the Ma Junsi came the earliest and had already stood up straight and solemnly.

Seeing Shen Ao sitting on the desk with an expressionless face, the people took a breath and immediately knelt down on one knee, saying, "I have met Lord Shen."

However, Shen Ao did not mean to ask them to stand up, but looked down at the official document, and asked the doctor beside him: "Send a few more teams of people to patrol the upper reaches, and if there is any suspicious one, it will be taken. Otherwise, if someone poisons or destroys them in the upper reaches, it will be a big deal. The camp of the former military camp is at the foot of the mountain, and a squadron will be sent to patrol the mountain. Don't be careless. If a thief infiltrates and attacks with the flow, it will be a big trouble."

The doctor held a pen and recorded Chen Ao's words on a bamboo piece. He nodded and said, "A few days ago, several imperial guards from the Ma Junsi left the camp without authorization and went to the river to take a bath. What should we do?"

Chen Ao curled his lips and said, "Do whatever you should do. Their team officials have the responsibility, and they have the responsibility, whipping and whipping, whipping and tying. There is no need to ask me about this kind of thing in the future."

After talking for half an hour, the wing army kneeled all over the ground. The generals and generals of the vassal state were already sore and numb, but Chen Ao didn't speak, and no one had the courage to stand up. The more Chen Ao ignored them, the more they became scared. They remembered Chen Ao's previous methods of cleaning the horse army. Only then did they realize that killing people was like strangling ants, and they could not even seek justice even if they died.

Chen raised his eyes arrogantly, already a little tired, his eyes fell on the general who was lowered and said lightly: "When did they come?"

The doctor next to him said, "If you want to know the master, it will be the third hour of Mao."

Chen Ao nodded indifferently and said, "If I remember correctly, I asked someone to beat the drum in one moment. Why did it take two minutes to delay? What is the reason for such slackness?"

The people below were even more shocked and kowtowed one after another. The ancestors really couldn't afford to serve them. They all said with a sad face: "Please forgive me, please forgive me, please forgive me, please forgive me, please raise my hands."

Someone handed Chen Ao a pot of hot tea. Chen Ao held the tea and blew the foam, then slowly said: "No, let's take an example. Look at yourself, what do you look like? You can lead troops to subdue the crowd like this? You must be dignified and not be surprised by honor and disgrace! Look at this official, look at you, don't you feel ashamed? I thought that when I was a commoner, I was taken into the government, and saw the officer like a tiger and wolf and the majestic official, I..."

Chen Ao began to recall the past, and he didn't know whether to brag or not. Anyway, he said this for another half an hour. He said a lot of things, such as the turtle and the lack of fear of the powerful. The generals below were not obedient to the kneeling legs, but they didn't interrupt them, and they had no physical overdraw, so they could only endure it.

Chen Ao brought the topic to reading from reminiscence: "...so people who don't read are blind, they can't understand things without reading, they can't cultivate their nature without reading, and they can't learn from them without reading. Is this official's words right?"

The lower-ranking people said, "Yes, yes." They complained in their hearts: "Uncle Shen, everyone knows that you are good at studying. Can you let everyone stand up first before speaking?"

Chen Aohe nodded with a happy expression, "Looking at your remorse, I must have known your mistake. It's better to know your mistake, but you can correct it if you know your mistake, think about it back then..."

“…”

The lower man was already numb, his expression was dull, his eyes were blank, and he continued to listen to Lord Shen recalling the past. It turned out that he could still say a few words in his heart, but now he has lost his strength to complain.

After using it for a whole morning, Chen Ao said a lot. I’m afraid he didn’t know what he said specifically. He saw that the time was almost done. He just talked about the relationship between leading troops and studying. It happened to be noon and asked immediately: “Dr. Liu, is it time for dinner?”

The doctor said with a straight face: "It's almost time."

“What are you eating today?”

“Stewed lamb.”

"I like to eat braised mutton, cough cough... I'll ask Han Shizhong to give me a serving later." Chen Ao ordered, then looked at the generals and schoolmen who were stunned: "Where did I just talk about it?"

“…”

"Forget it, let's talk to you next time."

As if he was granted a general amnesty, he said from the bottom of his heart: "Sir Xie." It's a pity that he wanted to stand up, but his feet were numb. He was a little disobedient and could not ask anyone to help him, so he had no choice.

Chen Ao's face fell down: "What? You just like to kneel so much? If you are willing to kneel, then kneel down. Come and watch out for them. Kneel for a few hours first. If they refuse to get up again, come and tell me, and I will fulfill them."

After saying that, Chen Ao shook his sleeves and left, leaving only a group of generals looking at each other, wanting to say, "Grandpa, we are kneeling down and numbing our feet, but they dare not say these words. When Chen Ao left, they would never have a chance to say them anymore. They wanted to be lazy. Although the squadron officers in the tent had dispersed, the squadron officers who were staying here were still there, their eyes were wide open, and they looked at them without hesitation, and their hands were pressed on the hilt of the knife. Like the lieutenant who had just executed the execution, their arms were wrapped with red silk, which made the squadron officers cold, so they had to grit their teeth and hold them up.

Chen Ao left the tent and called the doctor who was recording with him, saying, "When these people have almost finished kneeling, they will ask them to go back. This time, I will teach them a lesson. I believe they will not dare to clamor for anything again. Tell them to practice the troops well. In just a few days, I will attack the city, and then they will have the opportunity to make contributions."

The doctor nodded, took out a piece of bamboo, and carefully recorded Chen Ao's words with a brush.

Banda arrived at the city of Huazhou as early as the Central Army camp beating drums. He called the door. The bandits on the city tower asked him about his purpose. After a while, a man with the appearance of a leader appeared on the city tower and asked someone to put down a basket and drag Banda to the city tower with a cable.

Before Banda could stand, a man wearing a military armor came over with a knife. The man's face was weathered and had a mediocre appearance. He glanced at Banda indifferently, looked up and down and said, "Are you an envoy of the official army?"

Most of the bandits were from the Xiang army from the North Road of Gyeonggi, so it was not uncommon to wear the Xiang army's armor, but the Fan Yang hat was lost.

Banda said in a deep voice: "That is, on the order of Lord Shen, we came to recruit Tianyi Sect. Lord Shen said that as long as Xu Shenfu is willing to surrender, all sins can be left unrestrained. Lord Shen also said that God has the virtue of living a life. Since Xu Shenfu claims to be the son of the Emperor of Heaven, he must not want to suffer any life. Once he attacks the city, no one in the city will survive."

The leader nodded expressionlessly and said, "Follow me."

He took Banda down the city tower and walked all the way to the street. Huazhou is no longer prosperous now. A small cauldron is placed at the door of every household, with incense burning inside. Just a month ago, most of the city were still believers of the Tianyi Sect, but at this time, who else believes in the Tianyi Sect is afraid that only God knows.

Banda walked along with the leader and suddenly said, "Brother, did he work in the army of Jingji North Road?"

The leader glanced at Banda silently and said calmly: "Yes, the head of the miscellaneous capital, thanks to the emperor's attention, now I have been let to be the Left Ban Commander."

What is the commander of the Left Ban? Guan Banda doesn’t know. Seeing that he is not young, Banda smiled slightly and said, “Brother Tai is not young, so he must have many children, right? Are they all in the city?”

His abrupt words made the leader who led the way tremble slightly, and he said coldly: "What? What do you want to do?"

Banda said lightly: "It's nothing, it's nothing if a person dies. It's just that his wife and children die together. This determination is not easy. Alas, it's really helpless to reach this point."

The leader glanced at Banda coldly, suddenly pulled out the long knife in his waist and pointed it straight into Banda's throat: "What do you mean?"

Banda was extremely scared, and cold sweat couldn't help but flow out. Finally, he calmed down and said slowly: "I'm here to save my brother, so I can't help but protect my brother's family."

The leader hesitated for a moment, finally let go of the surgery, and said coldly: "Didn't you say that Lord Shen is determined to leave the past? As long as the immortal is willing to surrender, everyone in the city can survive."

Banda smiled, as if he saw through him at first sight, and said, "There are countless people in the city who are willing to surrender like Brother Tai, but Xu Shenfu will not surrender. If Brother Tai surrenders, the law will not punish the public, so he can naturally save his life. But will Xu Shenfu believe that he can still be able to surrender? So if I guess correctly, Xu Shenfu will never surrender."

The leader hesitated for a moment and sneered: "The immortal has the virtue of being alive. Will he let everyone be buried with you? If you talk nonsense, be careful of your head."

Banda smiled and pursed his lips and said nothing. He followed the leader a few steps, and suddenly said, "I dare to ask my brother's name."

"My name is Li Yong."

"Brother Li, if you are the immortals who are not surrendering, can you help me?" Banda was enthusiastic and whispered a few words to Li Yong, then said: "After the matter is done, I will keep your whole family safe. As for anything else, I dare not protect you. Brother Li is a smart person, so he naturally refuses to let the family be buried with others."

Li Yong seemed to be struggling, hesitated for a long time, and snorted coldly, "Let's talk about it then."

The two of them went to a prefect's yamen. The yamen was much dilapidated. The plaque representing the majesty of the imperial court had been taken off and a Taoist pattern was replaced with a Taoist pattern. Guards wearing blue-robed Taoist robes were everywhere. When they saw Li Yong and Banda coming over, someone immediately checked their identities. When they learned that Banda was a lobbyist, someone immediately went in to report.
