Chapter 14 Walk around and gather star thieves around the world and become famous (25)
Chu Yan was shocked when she saw Zhang Niujiao. She saw Zhang Niujiao lying on the war horse, her helmet was crooked, her armor was slanted, and her horn machete was thrown there. Several guards were desperately protecting Zhang Niujiao and rushing out, but Zhang Niujiao was motionless and obviously seriously injured.
At this time, several of Zhang Niujiao's pro-guards could not distinguish between southeast and northwest, let alone the fleeing chaotic army. They just wanted to protect Zhang Niujiao from the battle, but it was very difficult. Chaotic thieves surged up one after another, and their target was more than just horns. Anyone who blocked their way became their enemies.
As soon as Chu Yan saw that several guards could not stand it, she shouted and picked away several of the rebels. She urged the horse to come to several guards and asked, "What's wrong with General Zhang?"
Zhang Niujiao's personal guard recognized Chu Yan and said with tears, "The general was stabbed in the abdomen by a military gun when he stopped the chaotic army. I'm afraid... I'm afraid it won't work."
"Nonsense! General Zhang's martial arts are outstanding. How can he be injured by ordinary soldiers? At this time, Chu Yan also saw Zhang Niujiao covering his abdomen with his hand. The horse's back was stained red with blood, and the blood ticked down the horse's abdomen.
The guard was really crying by Chu Yan's roar: "Woo... The general was not injured by ordinary soldiers, but the traitor stabbed with a spear."
Chu Yan was anxious as soon as she heard this: "What are you going to say? Where is the thief of the bitter flies?
The guard cried and said, "My general has been injured and has cut off the bitter vil. But then it didn't work...woo."
When Chu Yan saw that this personal guard was only fourteen or fifteen years old, she could be said to be a child. However, in these troubled times, it is not uncommon to go to the battlefield at the age of 14 or 15. Chu Yan knew that most of Zhang Niujiao's relatives were orphans adopted by copycats. They regard Zhang Niujiao as their parents and should not lie. Now the most important thing is to save Zhang Niujiao, and maybe there is still a rescue.
"General, withdraw! I can't stand it." Chu Yan suddenly heard Wang Dang under her command shouting. When he talked to these guards just now, Sun Qing, Wang Dang and Du Chang, the three subordinates, resisted the chaotic army around him. But I didn't expect that in this moment, the three generals were a little unsupported, and the surrounding rebels began to surround them again.
Chu Yan gritted her teeth and said, "Retreat! Follow the army and retreat to the camp!" After saying that, he ordered three members to protect Zhang Niujiao and several guards. He opened the way forward, and several people followed the brigade and began to flee.
Nan Ye has experienced too many things and too many battles after crossing. At this time, he is not as afraid of death as before, but he is still very desperate. After all, everyone's life is only once, so Nan Ye will definitely hide from the battlefield if he does not go to battle in person. This time, he took Han Hu and Zhou Cang to make soy sauce after the army. After chasing and killing the thief soldiers for a while, Xi Zhi came to meet Nan Ye, and the four began to make soy sauce together.
It is said that the bystander is clear, and the four people from Nanye outside the battlefield can have a panoramic view of the whole war. Looking at the chaotic Black Mountain Army, Zhou Cang held a halberd in his hand and seemed to wait for any eyeless mountain thief to dare to come and split it in half.
Han Hu clapped his hands, laughed and jumped, pointing at the chaotic Montenegro army. Although he doesn't fight, he likes to watch others fight. According to his logic, those who fight are all bad children, and he is a good child. The more bad children he fights, the more obedient he is.
Hu Zhicai looked restless. If you don't look carefully, you can't find that the corners of his mouth are rising slightly. This is the first big battle he planned. How can he not be happy to achieve such a result?
Among the four, only Nan Ye frowned. Born in peaceful times, he was still not used to this kind of bloody killing. He cherishes his life not only, but also thinks that everyone's life is precious. So he asked Xi Zhicai, "Zhicai, the Montenegrin army has been defeated. Can you order the surrenderer not to kill?"
Xi Zhicai glanced at Nan Ye and said, "The mage is kind, but this is not the time to stop the army."
Nan Ye asked, "When will the troops be closed?" Hasn't the Black Army been defeated?
Xi Zhicai explained: "There are a large number of thieves in Montenegro. At this time, the mage persuaded him to surrender, and there would be at least tens of thousands of soldiers. In this way, does the mage order people to collect the pawns or continue to pursue them?
"This..." Nan Ye was speechless as soon as he was asked by Xi Zhicai. If you stay to collect the soldiers, the fleeing Montenegrin thieves will definitely return to the camp first to meet the people in the camp. If these chaotic troops return to the camp to stabilize the position, it is impossible to win again, and once they enter the camp, the county will be besieged again, and the plan to enter the city to join forces will fail. However, if they continue to pursue, these soldiers will inevitably be scattered without restraint, and then they will be thieves, and there is no difference between persuading them or not.
When Xi Zhi saw that Nan Ye's face was ugly, he knew that he had figured out the truth, so he said, "In my opinion, if the mage really pitys these thieves, he should not recruit them."
Nan Ye said angrily, "Is it a pity not to kill them all?"
Xi Zhicai said, "It's not! I mean, it's better to disperse them than to surrender them.
Nan Yeqi said, "Why is this?"
Xi Zhicai said, "As the mage saw, at this time, our army has a chance to win, but it has not yet been completed. I will only win if I want to drive these thieves to the city of Tao and use these chaotic troops to break through its camp. At that time, there will be more than tens of thousands of thief soldiers, and it is not surprising that hundreds of thousands of thief soldiers will surrender together.
Although the mage is not short of money, he can't afford to spend hundreds of thousands of people. Unless the mage has a wonderful method to produce land and food, it is better for them to disperse them. Moreover, the algorithm master has spells to conjure up grain, and it is impossible to raise 100,000 soldiers outside Luoyang City. Does the mage think so?
Nan Ye was immediately dejected after listening to the analysis of Xi Zhicai. He understands that what Xi Zhicai said is reasonable, but he understands that population is one of the most important resources in troubled times. In the past, playing strategic games of the Three Kingdoms always involved internal affairs, and the so-called internal affairs are not only to develop agricultural businesses, but also to increase the population. The food, taxation and army of a city are closely related to the population of the city. At this time, there are so many people who can't use it for themselves. How can Nanye not be depressed?
Nan Ye, with a sad face, asked Xi Zhicai, "Can't these people really be used for me?"
Xi Zhicai smiled, and he had already heard Nan Ye analyze the world's general trend. According to Nan Ye, it is not far from the real troubled times at this time, so he has to accumulate strength. Although you don't want to unify the world, you should be able to protect yourself in troubled times.
The drama is the one who sincerely assists Nan Ye, but sometimes he feels that Master Nan Ye's courage is too small. He often thought that if he changed his position with Master Nanye, he was afraid that he would definitely compete for the world. Even if he was defeated in the end, he would still make a name in history.
As for Nan Ye's idea, Xi Zhi can also be understood. He is extremely smart. After spending a long time with Nan Ye, he found that Nan Ye's respect for life comes from the bottom of his heart. To put it well, Master Nanye is kind and unparalleled. To say that Master Nanye is a little cowardly and afraid of death. He is not only afraid of his own death, but also does not want to see others die.
If it is to govern the world, there is nothing wrong with Master Nanye's heart. If he is an official in the dynasty, he will definitely become a capable official who protects the people. But what is coming is the troubled times when the heroes rise together, and what we pay attention to is a great success. There is a saying that he is not in charge of soldiers, and I'm afraid that Master Nanye's heart is worse.
That's why Xi Zhicai has instilled some hegemonic ways to Nanye on weekdays. At this time, when he saw that Nan Ye was jealous of these people, he was very happy, because he understood that the size of the pattern in a person's heart was related to his position, and people's desires and ideals were also changing. When a person achieves his goal, he often has a higher pursuit.
If you say self-preservation, Master Nanye has the ability to protect himself at this time, but he is still jealous of this group of mountain thieves, which shows that Master Nanye has a higher goal, but he has not been aware of it. Xi Zhicai felt that the hegemonic way he usually instilled in the mage was not in vain, and had subtly influenced Master Nanye, so he was so depressed and eager to recruit these mountain thieves.
