Chapter 37 False Victory
After Wen Han set the character, everyone sat down and discussed how to report the Battle of Shuanglong Mountain to Yang Hong. Later, Wen Han remembered a huge loophole, which was the 500 elites borrowed from Yang Dian. These 500 people knew the result of this battle. If they went back to Xie County and found that the soldiers of Shuanglong Mountain suddenly disappeared from the world, they would doubt it and talk to Yang Dian at that time. Although Yang Dian is willing to help Wen Han, he can't guarantee his heart.
In this regard, Wen Han made a decision, a risky decision. He asked Pei Yuanshao to gather these 500 elites in one place. Wen Han talked to him secretly.
Wen Han ordered the elites of Xie County to sit down. Although the elites of Xie County were a little confused about why the teeth would suddenly find them, they knew that the soldiers did not need to think too much and sat down one by one. Wen Han smiled and sat down. This move was not in line with Wen Han's identity, but it seemed a little intimate.
"Ha ha, today I will talk about my mood with you. Don't care about my identity. I asked you, why did you become a soldier?
Wen Han is like talking about family affairs, and he is relaxed. After hearing this, there was a silence. You looked at me and I looked at you, but no one answered. Wen Han guessed that they didn't dare. He was afraid that trouble would come out of his mouth, so he looked at the five hundred elite generals. A hundred people were stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to stand up and answer, Wen Han waved his hand and motioned him to sit down and say.
"The court is corrupt, and there are foreign relatives and eunuchs competing for power and interests within the ruling class, taking turns to seize power and exploit and oppress the people. The landlord forcibly occupied the land, making it appear that 'the pavilion is located in the state and county, and the field is connected to Fangguo.' We have no land to cultivate and no food to eat. There are still old and young at home, so we have to join the army to earn a meagre military salary, just for the livelihood of the family.
Hundreds of people gritted their teeth and said that Wen Hanguan was honest and dared to speak, appreciated him in his heart, and was interested in him.
"What's your name?"
"Your Excellency, my name is Wang Jing."
Wen Han thought about it quickly in his mind and was a little disappointed to see that there was no name among the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms. But then he laughed at himself for being whimsical. This general is not so easy to see unless there is great luck or opportunity. However, you can't underestimate others because of this. Li Qiang is a good example. Although he does not appear on the list of famous generals, he is loyal and his ability is not weak.
"Wang Jingru is honest, and you dare to say this, which proves that you are at ease with me. I'm very happy. I asked you again, is Wang Bairen's words what you think in your heart?
The elite of Xiexian County was silent for a while, or saw Wang Jing take the lead. He also became bold, and everyone began to agree, complained about the reason. Almost everything else is related to the corruption of the current court, the rich and the unscrupulous, forcing the army to make a living, etc. Of course, some are also to accumulate achievements and become officers. However, as soon as these people said it, they were questioned by others, saying that in this generation, the powerful and powerful can not be promoted even if they have military merit without a certain background. At most, it's just a small tooth, which is harmless.
"Do you believe me?"
After the discussion, Wen Han looked serious and asked solemnly.
"We have heard the name of Wenya, and we also know about the Moon Tower. Wenya will shout for the grievances of the world and be hated by the Yuan family in Runan. We have heard of it. Wenya generals are righteous people, and all the poor families in Xiexian County worship Wenya generals people.
Although he didn't know what medicine was sold in Wenhan gourd, Wang Jing still said what he wanted. Wang Jing was unanimously agreed by the people below, and everyone was nodding and agreeing.
Wen Han suddenly stood up and gave a deep salute to the elites of 500 Xie County. This action immediately scared these people. Although Wen Han was born in a poor family, he had merit and reputation, and his status was much more noble than them. How could they receive such a big gift?
"Don't be surprised. Wen Bofan's move is the future of 2,300 people under his command. I offended the dignitaries. This time I came to Shuanglong Mountain to suppress bandits was a conspiracy to kill my life. I would like to thank my soldiers for working together to help you and achieve a great victory. But this victory can't be seen in the eyes of those powerful and powerful people, so it must be kept secret.
"Don't be like this. Although I don't know justice, I know shame. Wenya will be a role model for us in a poor family, and we are willing to take the horse's head with Wenya. Are you right?"
Wang Jing probably understands Wen Han's intention, cares about it, and respects Wen Han on weekdays. When the next one doesn't do the same, he encouraged his men to join the Wenhan gang together.
"That's right. The little man was in Xie County. I heard that Wen Ya said that I should be extraordinary in the world. How could I be a humble person? The villain remembers these words in his heart. I have admired the fangs for a long time, and I would like to look at the horse with the fangs!"
Yes. The rich family regards us as pigs and dogs, and I heard that Wenya will regard his subordinates as family members. I will follow these people. Do I want to be that kind of pig and dog?
Some people who are familiar with Wang Jing agree with each other. And those who don't talk, most of those people are afraid of the vague prospects and their treatment.
Wen Han must ensure that none of these 500 people will fall behind, otherwise his previous achievements will be abandoned, and then he said, "For the wrong love of all the heroes, Wen is willing to be the leader and seek a future for you. As long as those are willing to join, they are treated the same as the Black Wind Rider and the Guards, and they are paid half a month. Give land and houses. It's just that I don't have much land now, so I can't distribute it, but I can write it down and return it later. I just hope that you believe that I am a human being, and I will set a basis for you.
"This treatment is several times better than that given by the court. If you refuse again, I, Wangjing, will be the first to break off his kindness!"
Wang Jing stood up and looked around for a week with sharp eyes. Those who had not said it before, seeing the generous treatment and the pressure from Wang Jing, they all agreed.
"Hahaha. Wen is here to thank you again for your great justice. Wen Han solemnly saluted again, and the five hundred elites in Xie County were led by Wang Jing and hurriedly returned the gift.
After chatting with the 500 elites for a while, Wen Han called Wang Jing and told him something, and then asked him to tell his trusted subordinates. Then bring Wang Jing into the cottage hall.
In the hall, Guan Yu, Xu Huang and Pei Yuanshao have been waiting for a long time. As for Li Qiang and Zhou Cang, they are preparing to open gambling in various counties and are not present. When Guan Yu saw Wen Han coming, he immediately asked, "How's the talk?"
"Hmm. Most of them are willing to vote, because of the help of the Wang Jing brothers.
Wen Han answered faintly, as if he had some scruples in his heart. Wang Jing was beside him, and Guan Wenhan said on his face, "Wenya Jiang, is he worried about loyalty and leaking the wind?"
"Huh... people are separated from the belly. It's a big deal, and I have to be more cautious.
Wen Han sighed and felt powerless.
"Exordinary. If some people dare not guarantee their loyalty, we might as well break them up, join Zhou Cang and Li Qiang, and then let Zhou Cang and Li Qiang monitor them secretly. When he went back this time, he had already planned to show his tragic victory. At that time, he only needed to report to Yang Hong and fight with the thief, and most of the casualties would be.
Guan Yu thought for a moment and suggested to Wen Han. Wen Han's eyes lit up. It seems that Guan Yu's intelligence is not bad. No wonder he can become the lord of Jingzhou in the future.
Wang Jing frowned. He didn't know what Guan Yu meant and looked at Wen Han suspiciously. Wen Han immediately briefly told Wang Jing about the plan that Wang Jing could be hundreds of generals. He really had some ability. After listening to it, he understood a general idea.
"Wenya will ask me to tell the people I trust just now to pay attention to whether the people around him have done it carefully. Why don't I pretend when I go back, try it out, and then help Wenya solve them secretly.
Wang Jing is helping Wen Han completely solve his future problems. If Wang Jing is willing to cooperate and test his subordinates, of course, it is best, so that Wen Han can set his mind. Moreover, Wang Jing's move is making a name. If he helps Wen Han solve those details, he will completely offend those powerful people. He will stand opposite them and meet them again.
"Wang Jing, if you treat me with the heart of a martyr, I will be worthy of you! If you don't violate this, you will be struck by lightning!" Wen Han didn't expect that Wang Jing was willing to do this for him.
"Wenya will quickly take back this word. How can I swear like this!"
Wang Jing's face changed and he said quickly.
"It's right! Wang Jing, I'm counting on you about this.
When Wang Jing saw Wen Han's true feelings, he was moved and secretly said that the decision he made was correct. Wen Han let Wang Jing sit down, and the troubles were solved, and the next step was easy.
After discussing with everyone, Wen Han arranged everything. Time is like a white horse passing through the gap, and three days have passed in a row. After Wang Jing went back, he pretended to instigate to betray Wen Han. Sure enough, he couldn't stand it and showed his feet. There are a total of 35 people, some of which are rich families in Xie County, and some are secretly sent by Yang Hong.
Wang Jing captured them all. After secretly dealing with them, he handed over the head to Wen Han for confirmation. Although Wen Han couldn't bear it, he was helpless. After a glance, he asked Wang Jing to bury them. Wang Jing gave another list of Wen Han, who entered 200 people. These people were ambiguous and could not guarantee their loyalty.
Wen Han put these two hundred people under the command of Zhou Cang and Li Qiang, and ordered Zhou Cang and Li Qiang to break them up and monitor them separately. In the past three days, Zhou Cang and Li Qiang have prepared to open a gambling house properly. They plan to open it from the ten counties around Yang County and Xie County. In order not to attract attention, Wen Han ordered Zhou Cang and Li Qiang to leave in batches.
As soon as these people left, Wen Han's subordinates immediately decreased a lot. Wen Han asked Xu Huang to count the number of people, with a total of 275 people. Wen Han was afraid that after going back, he was suspected by Yang Hong that there were no casualties in the black wind cavalry and the escort, so he pulled out some people from them and asked them to go back to Xie County secretly. In the end, there are only 500 people left in Wenhan.
A raging fire broke out in the Shuanglongshanzhai Village. Wen Han made his men wipe the mud and sand on their faces, and smoked black on the fire. They all looked like they were experienced and exhausted.
Wen Han looked at the fiery cottage, smiled, and then issued an order. After leading the troops down Shuanglong Mountain, he walked in the direction of Yang County.
When the county magistrate of Yang County learned that Wen Han had returned from a tragic victory, he saw that there were still a thousand when Wen Han's soldiers and horses left. When he came back, there were only 500 left, more than half of the casualties. And a person who didn't look like a ghost, quickly appeased Wen Han. And give some materials to Wen Han as compensation.
After Wenhan's soldiers and horses rested for a night, the county magistrate of Yang County recorded the war report, gave Wen Han a record document, and asked Wen Han to take it back to Yang Hong, the county magistrate of Xie County. Wen Han wanted this document to convince Yang Hong and Runan Yuan's tragic victory. After pretending to chat with the county magistrate of Yang County for a while, he pulled up his troops and went back to Xie County.
