The opening saint broke into my backyard

After Zhuo Xiaofan finished speaking, the people behind the guerrilla captain all knelt down in fear: "Regent, the last general deserves death, please spare your life, general."

Zhuo Xiaofan glanced at the soldiers kowtowing like chickens: "Okay, then tell me, why do you deserve to die?"

"We shouldn't drink and gamble in the yamen in broad daylight." The guerrilla captain said with shame on his face.

Zhuo Xiaofan shouted loudly: "Wrong, drinking and gambling in the yamen in broad daylight is certainly abhorrent, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that you are soldiers of the big men, but instead of protecting the people here, you Drinking and having fun here. You know how many tragic scenes of starvation and death of wives and separation of wives and children I have seen along the way. The misery and bitterness are too horrible to look at."

When Zhuo Xiaofan said this, the guerrilla captain straightened up, with unwillingness and grief on his face: "General, what you said is not completely right. We drink and gamble here in broad daylight, but you know why we do this Is it because of this that we can paralyze ourselves. We used to have ambitions and aspirations just like you. But what is the use of that? There are tens of thousands of companions who came with me. But in the end, just With the few of us now left, what can we do? This life of drunkenness and dreams, we can live it day by day. We will get used to it slowly. "

Zhuo Xiaofan said angrily: "This can't be an excuse or reason for you to slack off. You are a soldier of a big man, and as a soldier, you have the responsibility to protect the people behind you."

There was a slight sneer on the corner of the guerrilla captain's mouth: "General, ten years ago, the little one was just like you. He brought my brothers, a total of more than 5000 people, and came here with great ambitions to defeat Long in one fell swoop." Hey people. At the beginning, we also won a few battles. But the cunning Long Hey people lured us to a swamp full of miasma poisons and ferocious monsters. In that battle, we lost nearly Two-thirds of the people. I am also very distressed, but we have tried our best. Because of this battle, my rank was lowered, but I was still ordered to defend the city."

The guerrilla captain paused, as if he was trying to recover from the painful thoughts: "In the first few years, Long He kept attacking, and I led the people to resist desperately. But later, our number became fewer and fewer. , the food around us is getting less and less. But the imperial court ignored us and let us fend for ourselves. The border has reported urgently many times, and the imperial court has prevaricated and said that it will send people to deliver food, but we have been looking left and right for several years, and even one person I didn’t see any of them, not even a grain of grain.”

Zhuo Xiaofan frowned, the guerrilla captain should have told the truth, otherwise the military letter from the imperial court would have already come down, and he would lead 10 people to arrive here in a few days.No matter how messed up these people are, they still have to put on a show. Why do they have to gather in the yamen to drink and gamble?

"However, even so, this is no reason for you to slack off. You are the soldiers of the great man, and it is your bounden duty to protect the people." Zhuo Xiaofan said angrily.

The guerrilla captain sighed and said: "Yes, I know this too. However, we have nothing to do. We only have so many people left, and we can't resist even if we try our best. But later, we found out that As a rule, the living conditions of the Longyi people are poor, and they are short of supplies. They only come here to rob in winter, severe cold, and when supplies are scarce. Robbery is their purpose. As long as we don’t resist stubbornly, they only rob things. We don’t kill people. But if we resist, it will arouse their blood and kill people indiscriminately. So later, we gradually reached an agreement, as long as we don’t kill people indiscriminately, we will turn a blind eye. Although we know this is absurd, but We have nothing to do. If it weren’t for this, we would have tried our best to make them more confident.”

Hearing the words of Captain Guerrilla, Zhuo Xiaofan was heartbroken, he knew that Captain Guerrilla was not making excuses for himself to get rid of his guilt, he was telling the truth, but the truth really made people speechless.

Zhuo Xiaofan sighed deeply: "Although you are telling the truth, it doesn't mean that you can be exonerated from the death penalty."

"Okay, take them out and behead them as an example to others." Zhuo Xiaofan sternly said to the followers beside him.

The guerrilla captain raised his head, he was going to die anyway, but he became fearless: "Regent, I know we deserve death, but before we die, we have a request."

"Let's talk." Zhuo Xiaofan's eyes suddenly brightened when he looked at the guerrilla captain.

"Since we are all dead anyway, we would rather fight with Long Yi. We have been useless for so long, and we can't hold our breath anymore. Even if we die in battle, we will admit it. At least we will leave a good reputation behind us." The guerrilla captain said Chaos' eyes suddenly lit up, and a long-lost pride suddenly rose.

A look of relief flashed in Zhuo Xiaofan's eyes, this guerrilla captain and his subordinates were not completely bloodless, it's just that the imperial court owed them all these years.Such a person is a waste of death, it is better to fight on the battlefield.

Now is the time to employ people. These people have lived on the border of the Southern Region for a long time, and they should be very familiar with the terrain and the situation of the Longyi people, so they can be used well.

Zhuo Xiaofan looked at these bloody sergeants and said: "Okay, remember what you said today, show me the bloodyness of a soldier, as long as you perform well and make great achievements in battle, I will not only absolve you of your crimes, but also It will be reported to the imperial court and reward you."

"Yes." The guerrilla captain's ambition, which had been extinguished for a long time, finally ignited again.

"Okay. Then let me ask you, how many military forces can be organized in this city?" Zhuo Xiaofan asked.

"The people who can fight are all here, and some others are old, weak and remnant soldiers. But there are only a few hundred people in total." The guerrilla captain said.

This is really beyond Zhuo Xiaofan's expectation, the number of people is too small, originally Zhuo Xiaofan thought that there must be at least two to 3000 people in this city.But there are only a few hundred people in the area. With such a huge disparity in military strength, it is no wonder that the guerrilla captain and the others would choose to slack off. Such a small number of people is a fart.

Zhuo Xiaofan pondered for a while and said: "Okay, no matter what, you should organize these people first and be vigilant. People from Longyi may come again at any time. The people here are already miserable, so we can't let people from Longyi come back." This city has been bloodbathed."

"Yes." The guerrilla captain led the dozens of men and led them away.

After taking care of these things, Xiao Jin asked: "Master, shall we return to the camp immediately?"

Zhuo Xiaofan looked at the sky outside: "It's still early, let's wait. Let's go around the city and see if there are any fortifications that need to be strengthened."

Xiao Jin said with a worried look on his face: "But, this army is still outside the city, led by Gu Chengwu, isn't your lord afraid that he will use some tricks secretly?"
