Each group of five hundred people, except for the surrendered soldiers of Jingzhou who were identified and taken away, under the intimidation of the Qiang cavalry with bows and arrows, all listened to the order and took off their naked clothes. The inspection speed was not slow. In fact, there was no search.

What happened? Most people who break into a house kill the man first and then stab the woman. After feeling comfortable, they start collecting their belongings. The refugees did not enter the city for a long time before they could commit robbery. Some people were killed without even stabbing the woman.

Captured by the Qiang army.

Su Jun went on this expedition and led 13,000 troops, including nearly 5,000 surrendered soldiers from Jingzhou. He left 1,000 troops to guard the stronghold, and after three consecutive sieges and losses, there were now only less than 8,000 troops present.

, among which the Jingzhou Army had less than 2,000 people, and the mortality rate was as high as more than half. Obviously, they were unfortunately driven out in order to ascend first.

It didn't take long for the refugees' armed forces to dress up again. Under Su Jun's orders, nearly six thousand people rushed back to their camp with overwhelming resentment. Su Jun had lost about 30% of his troops since crossing the river, but he did not

He knew that asking for the surrender of Jingzhou's soldiers would be useless, not to mention that those people were just the first to get there, and whether they did or not had nothing to do with the overall situation.

In the inspection just now, although Yunfeng still persisted in hinting the Qiang soldiers to do some humiliating actions, it had no effect. Perhaps it was because Su Jun killed the chicken to scare the monkeys, or perhaps he was aware of his own situation. The refugees

They endured it all their lives, so Yunfeng could only let them go.

"What a fucking idiot!" Yunfeng cursed in a low voice and turned his gaze to Jingzhou's soldiers. Their eyes flickered and they were uneasy, not knowing what kind of fate they would face next. Yunfeng put on a

With a smile on his face, he comforted him and said, "You don't need to panic. From now on, you will be under the command of General Deng Yue."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers could not help but feel relieved, and their high-hanging hearts finally relaxed, and they all expressed their thanks: "I would like to thank you for your kindness, General!" Deng Yue was also a Jingxiang person.

, naturally we must take into account the friendship between fellow villagers.

Yunfeng waved his hand and said: "Okay, General Deng is over there, you go quickly."

Just at this time, Deng Yue rushed over and saluted: "General Yun is kind to our Jingxiang soldiers and civilians. I am very grateful. However, Su Jun has been aggrieved and asked for mercy. He will not give up in the future. Please be careful and do it right."

."

Yunfeng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, General Deng, for reminding me. I will pay attention to it. How will General Deng behave in the future?"

"This..." Deng Yue was quite embarrassed and speechless for a moment.

Yunfeng knew that he intended to help Wang Dun, and immediately said sternly: "General Deng, please forgive me for the brief exchange of words. The prime minister is trapped in the isolated city and has reached the end of his rope. Even if you lead your troops to help, it will only be a drop in the bucket. On the contrary,

It will cost the lives of many innocent soldiers. Why bother? General Deng might as well lead his troops back to help Wuchang. Tao Kan's journey north will cause great harm, why not leave useful people to do their part for the people of Jingxiang?"

Deng Yue did not answer, and there was a look of struggle on his face. It could be seen that although Yunfeng's persuasion had shaken him a lot, he could not let go of the loyalty in his heart. The ancients believed that a scholar should know himself.

Death, Wang Dun had the kindness to meet him and had to repay it.

Yunfeng sighed secretly and then advised: "General Deng, you have actually tried your best. There is no need to criticize yourself too harshly. A person's life is not just about loyalty. There is also righteousness and responsibility! The people of Jingxiang are saved from hanging upside down.

Taking on the responsibility of protecting the hometown and protecting the soil. Doing our best to prevent the soldiers under our command from losing their lives for no reason. This is

These are both righteousness and responsibility! Speaking of which, this general and the Prime Minister once had a relationship. Although they were in a hostile position, they still admired the Prime Minister's magnanimity. In this way, after the Stone City was destroyed, this General

Try your best to keep the Prime Minister's body from being destroyed, and if possible, send it back to Langya for burial!"

Suddenly, Deng Yue was shaken all over! Wang Dun was labeled by the court as a traitor and traitor. He understood how difficult it would be to leave Wang Dun with a complete body! He would definitely fall out with the Sima family! Although Yunfeng didn't finish his words, Deng Yue

Yue believes that since this person has made a promise, he will do his best, and this intention is enough.

In fact, it was not that Deng Yue didn't know that Wang Dun's defeat was a matter of time or later, it was just his foolish and loyal thoughts. Yunfeng's interpretation of justice and responsibility also made him think deeply. Preserving the corpse of his late master really moved him.

At this point, there was nothing to hesitate about, not to mention that strictly speaking, he was still a prisoner.

Deng Yue bowed deeply and said solemnly: "I have learned from General Yun's words of wisdom. Please rest assured that as soon as all the chores are taken care of, I will lead my troops back to support Wuchang!"

Yunfeng quickly supported him and said: "General Deng, please get up quickly, I am not worthy of being a general!"

Deng Yue stood up in accordance with the words and sighed with a complicated expression: "Since there is a prime minister in the world, why should we give birth to General Yun? Oh God's will, what can we do if we can't do anything with human power? I owe you a love today. If he is called tomorrow,

I will go through fire and water to repay you!"

Yun Feng waved his hand and said: "General Deng doesn't need to be like this. I'm not a murderous person. You and I have no grudges, so why not leave some room? When General Deng returns this time, it would be better to listen to my advice and surrender to the court."

, after all, the court has issued an edict not to pursue Prime Minister Yu Yi, I think I won’t go back on my word.”

Deng Yue was a little dazed and couldn't figure out Yunfeng's thoughts. At first, he was at least eight levels sure that Yunfeng had the intention to recruit him. However, there was already some meaning in the words just now. This

However, people advised him to surrender to the court. Did he not understand or was he overthinking?

Yunfeng smiled at himself again: "The next traitor after the Prime Minister should be this general. Maybe he will have to fight against General Deng on the battlefield one day. Well, it's getting late, General Deng, go quickly.

Get ready and try to set off today, please."

Deng Yue glanced at Yun Feng in confusion and saluted, "I'm taking my leave! General Yun, please take care of yourself!" With that, he turned around and left.

When Deng Yue's back gradually disappeared, Yu Wenjun and Xun Guanniang stepped forward. Yu Wenjun couldn't help but snorted coldly: "General, you really don't want to do a loss-making business. If you collect Wang Dun's body for burial, you will completely fall out with Sima Shao, but you can't."

Despite Wang Dun’s old subordinates’ wishes, you still pretended to be sympathetic to each other. In general, you have made a lot of money. Wen Jun did not wrong you?”

Yunfeng raised his arm in a gesture of slapping, and said displeasedly: "How do you say that? Is this general so sinister?"

Yu Wenjun was frightened and hid behind Xun Guanniang. He stuck out his little head and rolled his eyes at this person.

."

Yu Wenjun frowned and said unwillingly: "Is there really nothing we can do against him? By the way, General, let's spread the news that Su Jun is a high-ranking member of Tianshi Dao. Maybe the court can be more vigilant. How about that?

?”

Yunfeng pondered and said: "That's not right. There are many followers of Tianshi Tao in Jiangdong, from temples to the people. If the news is spread, not only will it not harm Su Jun, but it will also help him increase his influence."

"Hey."

, I’ll think of something later.” Then the voice changed: “As a teacher, Deng Yue has hinted at seeking refuge, Duan Shan, why did you politely refuse?”

Yunfeng smiled slightly and said: "Deng Yue and his subordinates are all natives of Jingxiang. They are not suitable for cavalry charges in the north. They will not play a big role in the future battles with Liu Yao and Shi Le. Now he has come to join his disciples.

At most, I will be assigned to sit in Liang and Yizhou, but it is better to stay in the court, where there may be a chance of responding to everything in the future."

Xun Guanniang thought for a moment and nodded approvingly: "Yes, Deng Yue is a loyal and righteous man, and he will definitely reward him in the future."

"I hope so." Yunfeng responded, then turned around and shouted: "Come here!"

"General, what's the matter?" Two personal guards ran over.

Yunfeng took out a letter and handed it over, saying: "You two will cross the river immediately and run from the north of the river to Haimen. Please ask Xie Shang to come and receive the navy and grain and grass supplies."

"As ordered!" The guard took the letter and left in a hurry.

"Teacher, Miss Yu, let's go to the treasury to see how many good things Wang Dun has stored in Gudun." Yunfeng stretched out his hand to greet Xun Guanniang, master and apprentice. They both got on their horses and led

Some of the bodyguards rushed away.

In the following days, Yunfeng waited for Xie Shang while meeting Zu's appointment to cross the river. On the tenth day, which was the first day of May, Xie Shang led 500 soldiers and arrived in a dusty way. When he saw

The nearly ten thousand soldiers and hundreds of warships rubbed their hands together excitedly. When they were brought to the treasury, they saw the mountains of weapons, grain, grass and money. They immediately grinned from ear to ear.

"Chi!" Yu Wenjun chuckled and said disdainfully: "Xie Shang, you have little knowledge. Everything in the treasury is reserved for you. The general only took away some arrows."

"Huh?" Xie Shang rubbed his head and declined continuously: "General, are these all left for Shang? Don't you want to take them yourself? This is too much? You also have two great leaders in the north, Liu Yao and Shi Le.

Enemy, it will be more useful if you hold it, just take a part of it."

Yunfeng did not answer for the time being, but asked instead: "Has Xiapi been captured now, and have refugees from the north come to surrender?"

It was as if Xie Shang had been poured cold water on his head, his excitement completely subsided, and a hint of worry appeared on his face that still had some childishness. He shook his head and said: "Before Shang left Haimen, Xiapi was already in danger. On the way

It took another seven days, and I calculated that even if I didn't fall into the enemy's hands, I was already exhausted. A while ago

Xiapi once sent people to ask for help. After discussing with Brother Zhong, considering their own weakness, they did not send troops to help. However, the refugees who fled gathered a lot, nearly 4,000 people, all according to your general.

With his instructions, we killed all the homeless commanders, both large and small. Fortunately, the appeasement measures were effective and no big trouble was caused."

Yunfeng praised: "It is right not to save Xiapi, and it will not help. However, if Murong Xin goes south to Guangling today, he must not sit idly by. Guangling and Haimen are the only two strongholds in the north of the Yangtze River below Jiankang.

Lips and teeth are dependent on each other, and they are like horns to each other. Once Guangling falls into Murong Xin's hands, Haimen will really be attacked from all sides."

"Yes, Shang understands." Xie Shang responded, but he showed a look of confusion.
