A ghost came over my heart

The Han army left Vung Tau Port and quickly advanced towards the counties under Rinan County.

Liu Ke's primary target is Linyi County.

Linyi County is a large county under the jurisdiction of Rinan County.

Someone once claimed the title of king here, and made this place the capital of the country, establishing the Linyi Kingdom.

Later, Shi Xie escaped and became the hegemon. He destroyed this small country and incorporated it into the territory of Jiaozhi.

However, because it once served as the capital of the country, although Linyi County is only a county town in scale, its city walls are also thick.

It's a pity that no matter how thick it is, it is still just a county town.

Liu Ke did not intend to fight in a mere county seat, so he directly asked Gan Wenjin to lead troops to call for war and threaten him, and then asked Chen Fujia to negotiate with the county magistrate.

Chen Fujia relied on his eloquence and arrogance to enter the county town.

Unfortunately, the Linyi County Magistrate came from a local wealthy family.

There is a big difference between a wealthy family and an aristocratic family. Moreover, this is a wealthy family from the Jiaozhi country. How can a wealthy family from other countries care about your origin in the Central Plains?

The Linyi County Magistrate didn't care that Chen Fujia was from the Yingchuan Chen family or was a disciple of the Han Dynasty Grand Master. He didn't even give him a good face and didn't even give him a chance to persuade him to surrender.

Chen Fujia came out the same way he entered, without opening his mouth at all.

"Pretty tough."

Liu Ke smashed his mouth, this is considered a bad start, right?

Since Linyi County Magistrate did not hesitate, he had nothing to hesitate and directly ordered:

"Let General Gan lead the troops to attack, hold General Li back and don't let him rush forward, just plunder the formation."

He also didn't know how long Zhang Yiping would organize his army.

But it is obvious that with Gao Rang and Zhang Yiping's civil and military abilities, they definitely have a way to deal with the Han army.

We must capture the county seat as soon as possible.

Land battles are not what Gan Wenjin is good at. They are not as fierce as water battles, and they don't pay much attention to the rules. Even the golden bell on his waist cannot ring.

But his basic 88% command is there, even if he is a blank slate, he is still a good general.

Moreover, the Han army had an absolute advantage, with complete armor, strong combat effectiveness, a great victory, and high morale.

This is not comparable to Lin Yi's soldiers who have no fighting spirit.

After a brief offensive and defensive battle, the soldiers in Linyi County seemed to resist symbolically for a while, and then all surrendered.

The Han army was so powerful that it directly captured Linyi County.

After the city was defeated, the Linyi County Magistrate was decisive and surrendered directly.

Linyi County was occupied by the Han army in less than half an hour.

However, at this time, Gan Wenjin pushed eight soldiers out and chopped them directly on the top of the city to correct military regulations.

"Chinese ban, why is this?"

Liu Ke didn't even take a break, so he quickly called Gan Wenjin and asked him what happened.

Gan Wen's ban on the army was very strict, and Yue Shaoqian's was strict in his army, but he occasionally made some jokes.

However, Gan Wen had been banned from being a pirate for more than ten years, but his military management was not as unrestrained as his dress. He was not simply strict in running the military, but was almost to the point of being harsh.

Therefore, it was not very popular among the soldiers.

But even so, it has never happened before that the soldiers were dragged out and chopped off as soon as the battle was won.

When the emperor asked, Gan Wenjin explained righteously:

"Your Majesty, these guys are not clean because they were used to being pirates. Now that they are soldiers, they can't change their old habits."

"In addition to the fatigue of traveling and traveling on the road, and the harm caused by poisonous insects, snakes and rats, I saw that the city was destroyed today, so I felt a little slack, I thought."

Gan Wenjin frowned and exhaled from the tip of his nose with disdain:

"I just want to vent."

Liu Ke's face darkened slightly:

"Blow off steam?"

Gan Wenjin hesitated for a moment. He governed the army harshly, but after all, he was still a soldier under his command.

Moreover, the eight people who were beheaded were all old men who had been pirates together, so they still had some emotion in their mouths:

"It's just that... they want to rest in the county town."

Liu Ke felt even more uncomfortable after hearing this. The word "self-rest" is really true.

Liu Ke has always known that the military discipline of pirates who were transferred to officers and soldiers was not very good.

And the way he fights has always been informal.

As for "self-recuperation", it is actually something that most people who conquer the world have done.

That is to say, after conquering the city, they launched troops to plunder.

Take the lives and property in the city to reward the soldiers and horses, allowing the soldiers to vent their anger, thus boosting the morale of the soldiers.

It was not just the Donghu people who did this when they started their business.

Most of the princes who were enemies of Emperor Zhaolie did this.

Looking at the history books, the words most frequently recorded in the history books after the city was broken are: pit, slaughter, move, tribe, and plunder.

"Bandits pass like a comb, soldiers pass like a grate" is not slander or rumor.

After all, we cannot rely on the high quality of the top soldiers. There are actually very few troops who can truly abide by discipline and refrain from burning, killing, and looting.

Brothers, put their heads in their waistbands and fight with you, and make murder their profession, what do you think?

Let’s take an even more outrageous thing. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Qi attacked the State of Lu, and the State of Lu asked for help from its elder brother, the State of Jin.

The Jin State sent troops and besieged Linzi, the capital of Qi State.

The Jin soldiers were just like that, always surrounding Linzi, but unable to break the city for a long time.

Morale is low, what should we do?

So the Jin soldiers vented their anger on the people outside Linzi City.

Those who came to Zi to catch a barbecue and were blocked outside were all cut down.

If you can't defeat the enemy, how can you defeat the unarmed people?

"It's a headache."

Liu Ke was already preparing psychological training for the soldiers before setting off for the expedition, but unfortunately this kind of thing still happened.

Although there are only eight people now.

But if it is not resolved as soon as possible, as the time in Jiaozhi becomes longer and longer and more and more cities are captured, there will only be more such soldiers.

So how to deal with it?

Liu Ke thought of Li Shimin.

When Li Er was personally conquering Goguryeo, he was very angry when a city refused to surrender, so he ordered that after the city was defeated, the property and women in the city would be rewarded to the soldiers.

Later, the city could no longer be defended, so he left the city and asked for surrender, and Li Er agreed.

The results of it?

The generals under his command were dissatisfied, and the leader was Xu Shiji. He and dozens of officers wanted to express their dissatisfaction.

Seeing this posture, Li Shimin immediately apologized, and then used his own money to make up for the economic losses of the soldiers, and then the matter was over.

Li Er chose to pay for it out of his own pocket, and Liu Ke held it. Considering his current image in the minds of the soldiers, it should be fine to pay out of his own pocket for compensation, or even a little less.

But the problem is that he doesn't have much money in his pocket.

The imperial court still had a lot of gold and silver, but it all belonged to the imperial court.

The little money that was allocated from the internal funds was doubled as congratulatory gifts after the concubine was selected, and was given to the wealthy families.

It's a long-term strategy to catch big fish, but he really doesn't have much money on hand right now.

There is no need to even think about plundering. Even if this is the Cochin country and it belongs to a foreign country, it cannot be done.

Once you make this start, it will be difficult to look back.

Originally, the only thing that the Han could rely on was the people's support. Once the people's support was lost, they would be doomed.

Moreover, after the robbery, the population dropped significantly, which was not conducive to long-term management and management. How could there be any reason to launch troops and plunder the territory in the future?

"Your Majesty, a wave of refugees is coming towards us!"
