Chapter 487 Instructions before the battle
A large part of the reason why he fulfilled his previous promise to surrender in public was to let the hundreds of thousands of captured rebels know about it. He was a prince of the imperial court and could represent the imperial court. His style was that of the imperial court.
His style of work must let these captured rebels know how benevolent and righteous the imperial court was, and would never mistreat the soldiers who worked hard for the Tang Dynasty.
He raised his hand to signal the surrendered soldiers to stand up, then turned to the east and shouted to the captured rebels sitting on the ground, "You have no law and are disobedient and conspiratorial. You are truly treasonous and should be punished for your crimes..."
Before they could finish speaking, the captured rebels began to scream and make noises, saying that they had previously promised that they could save their lives as long as they laid down their weapons, but this time they actually went back on their promise.
"Quiet!" Shi Xuanming, who was not far away, activated his spiritual energy and let out a Buddhist lion's roar.
A lion's roar is different from making a sound. The sound spreads everywhere and shakes the mind. After a moment of silence, the entire battlefield is silent.
He continued, "The imperial court has always been upright and upright. Those who have merit will be rewarded and those who have made mistakes will be punished. You have acted as a helper and resisted the imperial court. It is actually a capital crime. But now that it is the time when the imperial court is employing people, your lives will be temporarily spared so that you can perform meritorious deeds.
To atone for one’s faults.”
Since there were too many soldiers on the battlefield, he would pause for a while every time he said a word to prevent everyone from hearing clearly. But what he didn't expect was that as long as he paused for a moment, the soldiers on the battlefield would whisper to each other.
Seeing this situation, he suddenly became angry and said, "If anyone raises another voice, he will be killed and surrendered immediately. No one will be spared!"
If the toast worked well, the penalty drink would not appear. It is precisely because the toast sometimes does not work, so the penalty drink is necessary. Hearing the words, the entire battlefield was instantly silent and silent.
Then he didn't speak immediately, but raised his eyebrows and looked at everyone coldly. At this time, the soldiers on the battlefield were so frightened that they didn't even dare to fart, let alone speak in a low voice.
They kept silent, and the soldiers kept getting nervous, because they thought they had murderous intentions at this time, and the reason why they kept silent was because they were waiting for someone to mess with him.
There were dozens of drops of water, and no one spoke. Due to excessive tension, all the soldiers on the battlefield were sweating profusely. What they were most worried about at this time was that someone was ignorant and fearless, jumping out to shout and provoke, thereby injuring themselves.
Fortunately, the person who did not know whether to live or die did not appear. After waiting for a long time, he finally spoke again, "You should always remember that you have aided Zhou and rebelled against the imperial court. At this time, you are all guilty. If you dare to disobey military discipline in the future, you will be passive and cowardly."
, should be punished for several crimes and beheaded.
Door."
The word "annihilation" is deliberately emphasized. Not everyone wants to be toasted, and there are many people who don't know how to appreciate it. There are far more people who accept the hard but not the soft than the people who accept the soft but not the hard.
Then he added, "But you are not without success. As long as you obey orders, fight bravely, and achieve military merits, you can offset your previous sins. If you repeatedly achieve military merits, you should be promoted based on your merits, be granted the title of marquis and prime minister, and honor your ancestors."
Having said this, he turned to look at Shi Xuanming who was not far away. Shi Xuanming understood and roared like a lion again, "Do you remember the prince's words?!"
After hearing Shi Xuanming's words, the soldiers on the battlefield spoke up. Because they were timid and ashamed and had no one to guide them, their responses were often mixed.
I wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly remembered something, so I raised my voice again and said, "My brother-in-law, Zhang Shanzhen, is the Heavenly Master of the Shangqing Dynasty. Now I am worshiping the Grand Master and commanding the three armies. I will kill him first and then I will report him. I will seize him alive and dead."
As long as he opened his mouth, the soldier would not dare to speak, and without his permission, he would not even dare to respond.
After finishing what should be said, he turned around and left. He did not lead the troops. The reason why he gave instructions on his behalf was mainly to let the subordinates correct their positions. Anyone who made a mistake must pay the price. These subordinates
Naturally, there is no exception. There is no good person in the world who can escape punishment for doing bad things. Most of these surrendered soldiers have the blood of the New Army soldiers on their hands. Don't think that you can be completely exempted from guilt if you can't defeat them and surrender.
And these words can only be said by him, because he has a bad reputation and is known to be cruel and ruthless. If he says these words, he can better intimidate the soldiers. If Zhang Shan says them, he will not be able to achieve this.
This has an effect. First, although Zhang Shan has clear grievances, he is extremely kind, and bad people are often not afraid of good people. Furthermore, Zhang Shan is a Heavenly Master of the Supreme Purity, and some of his words may damage his image as a Heavenly Master.
As for the last sentence, it directly shows the relationship between Zhang Shan and himself and the power given to Zhang Shan by the imperial court. He must clearly tell these soldiers that Zhang Shan is his brother-in-law, and Zhang Shan has great power. Their life and death only depends on Zhang Shan.
A moment of kindness.
When they were about to leave, Zhang Mo came over quickly. Although she didn't say anything, she cast a grateful look at him, because she knew that the previous lecture was not to show authority, but to take the blame and be the bad guy, leaving the good guy to Zhang Shan.
After his training, Zhang Shan was able to collect the drivers more easily.
Control these Hanzhong soldiers and surrender them.
At this time, Datou and others had handed over the captured rebel general to their own custody, and they were walking in front with Zhang Mo. Datou and the four others were following behind, three feet apart.
At this time, her whole body was covered in blood, and there were many blood stains on her face. Zhang Mo held the handkerchief in her hand but did not come forward to wipe it. Although she wanted to do so, and the two of them had already decided their fate, she was a member of the Taoist sect after all.
People don't want to show off their childlike behavior in front of others.
The battlefield was only four or five miles away from our own military camp. If it were normal times, he would definitely walk back to the camp with Zhang Mo. However, he was too tired and injured at this time. After leaving the battlefield, he got on his horse and met Zhang Moce who was riding a war horse.
The horse moves forward.
Back at their camp, Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu were waiting for everyone outside the camp gate. Zhang Mo took the lead to dismount and quickly walked forward to express his gratitude to the two.
"Haha, don't thank us," Chen Liqiu pointed out with a smile, "If you want to thank him, just thank him."
Seeing the frown and looking around, Chen Liqiu guessed that he was looking for Batulu, so he waved his hand and said, "Stop looking, I'm back to my old habit, I'm helping the cook kill pigs and sheep."
After nodding, he looked Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu up and down. Li Zhongyong knew that he was confirming whether the two were injured, so he said, "Treat the injuries of the four generals first. Don't worry about us. We are fine."
Nodding again, Zhang Mo then led everyone into the camp and washed the blood on their bodies from the water source.
The others originally wanted to go to Hebei Province, so they brought a change of clothes with them, and after a brief wash, they put on clean clothes.
Zhang Mo had already arranged a place for everyone to live, and immediately set aside a military tent that could accommodate a dozen soldiers. The five of them, as well as Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu, all lived together.
When marching and fighting, it is natural that doctors and medicines are indispensable. Everyone suffered injuries, so there was no need to do it themselves. The two doctors who accompanied the army were busy separately, applying medicine and bandaging for everyone.
Although everyone was excited about the great victory, they were too tired. They didn't talk much after lying down, and soon fell asleep amidst the sounds of livestock being slaughtered in the camp.
He had not slept for several days, and was exhausted both physically and mentally. He slept very deeply. The same was true for Datou, Shi Xuanming and others. Datou had been busy casting silver ingots from Chang'an, while Shi Xuanming and others had traveled thousands of miles to come from far away.
Came here from Hebei Road.
Everyone wanted to take a long nap to rest and regain consciousness, but they never thought that they would be disturbed after only half an hour of sleep.
When they woke up, it was none other than Batulu who woke everyone up. Although many of the marching pots had been smashed before, not a single bite was left. Batulu directly brought a large pot in, which was full of food.
A pot full of mutton. The military pot was much larger than the iron pots used by ordinary people at home. There were at least more than two hundred kilograms of mutton in this big pot.
Batulu put down the iron pot and yelled for everyone to get up and eat meat. Compared with eating, everyone wanted to lie down and rest at this time, but Batulu refused to obey. He pulled this and that until everyone was exhausted.
I gave up after all the fussing.
Batulu was not idle during the previous decisive battle. Everyone was taking a rest. He was the only one who was still busy preparing meals for everyone. Thinking that these people were not willing to complain about him, they could only brace themselves and accept the mutton he handed over.
The mutton was not deboned, but was stewed with the bones. It was made by each person's hand and was of different sizes. Although Batulu was confused, he was not unreasonable. He knew that Shi Xuanming and Yu Yi ate meat, so he gave the four of them all the meat.
It was a leg of lamb, and what Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu were given was a whole rack of lamb, while he was grabbing a sheep head and gnawing on it.
At first, everyone didn't come back to their senses and ate reluctantly, but then they gradually came back to their senses and started to have an appetite. Batulu didn't know how to cook, but he came from the Mobei grassland and was very good at stewing meat. The mutton stew was all delicious.
No smell.
At this time, everyone began to talk about the previous war. With such a big victory, everyone would be happy. If you still suppress the excitement and excitement in your heart at this time, you are not being calm by nature, but being pretentious.
As the saying goes, excessive modesty is hypocrisy. Everyone is discerning, and they all know that everyone on our side played a huge role in turning the tide and turning defeat into victory, because the new army's combat effectiveness is too weak, and the rebels have become extremely powerful, both in terms of military strength and purple energy masters.
Times that of ours.
Everyone played an important role in this battle. There are two main reasons why we are so happy. One is for the public good. After this battle, our military strength doubled, and Hanzhong is rich and can be self-sufficient in military supplies in a short time. The other is for the sake of the public.
Personally, both the Big Four and the three Batulus felt a lot of shame in their hearts before, because the imperial court gave them preferential treatment, but their contribution to the imperial court was not much, and the rewards they received were mainly due to the fact that this time everyone
Turning the tide could be regarded as giving the court an explanation.
While everyone was chatting excitedly, they were wandering away from home holding the mutton chop. Now that the decisive battle was over, Zhang Shan and others would recruit the rebels to regain the city, and everyone on their side would also leave separately. He was there
