Chapter 268 White Dragon Thief

Therefore, most of the number of thieves under the command of the big cow can be saved. After Gao Shun's count of people, he told Wen Han that there were more than 1,500 thieves who were captured. In addition, in the Tucheng of Hempzi, 800 thieves were collected, and a total of 2,300 thieves were captured.

Because Wen Han and 3,500 soldiers were tortured by the cold wind and low temperature in the extremely simple camp for three days in a row. Therefore, as soon as Wen Han finished the war, he asked the 3,000 soldiers to immediately go to the earthen house in Tucheng to warm up, and let the other soldiers to suffer the medicine soup to dispel the cold for the 3,500 cold robes.

These medicinal decoctions were already prepared when Wen Han sent troops from Dangyin three days ago, and these medicinal decoctions were developed by Hua Tuo and had a very good cold-repelling effect.

Wen Han's hand holding the medicine bowl was not only trembling. Wen Han lowered his head and drank half of the bowl in one gulp. Suddenly, a hot breath rushed straight from his stomach to his skull, and then straight down from the skull to the soles of his feet.

It is said that the cold air enters from the soles of the feet first, or there is really some evidence. This fiery breath wrapped around Wenhan's feet. After Wenhan sat down and rested for a while, he felt that his body was so cold that he was about to lose his feeling, and it seemed to be hot again, and the numbness of all parts of his limbs slowly disappeared.

"How do you feel about extraordinary? You are too reluctant this time. At the low temperature on the mountain, a pot of water will turn into ice in less than half an hour. In that humble camp, you suffered the cold wind with the soldiers for three days and nights. What if your body is infected with the wind and cold?

You are the head of an army. If you fall down, the war against the rebellion in the northeast of Hedong cannot continue! If there is another time, you can send me anyway.

"Ha ha, Boyi is too worried. Little Binghan is not enough to trip me up. As you said, I am the leader of the army, and I lead the way. Only the soldiers under his command will respect me and obey me. I am willing to share the joys and sorrows with me.

Gao Shun was born in Pinghan and didn't write for a long time, so Wen Han paid attention to him and took the word Boyi. There was a strong sense of righteousness, and Gao Shun was very happy, so he accepted this word.

Wen Han's words, listening to Gao Shun's ears, couldn't help but make Gao Shun's heart rise with admiration. Wen Han said with a faint smile on Gao Shun's pale face.

"In the meantime, we have annihilated two groups of thieves, and the number of captured thieves is also more than 2,300. Although these thieves have done things that are unreasonable, after all, they are all forced by life and instigated by others.

At present, we have spent a lot of time. The war is urgent. These thieves have good fighting power. I have the intention to recover them. Boyi, go down now and let these thieves gather. I have something to say to them later.

"Yes! I understand."

Gao Shun's mouth was clumsy. He wanted to say something about his concern, but he couldn't say it. Therefore, he can only express the words in his heart by doing things seriously for Wen Han.

Therefore, as soon as he heard that Wen Han needed him to do something, he immediately became energetic. After bowing to Wen Han and retreated, he hurriedly went to find the captured thieves.

"Ha ha, this tall dumb man. I'm really not good at expressing my thoughts.

Wen Han looked at Gao Shun's back, and his eyes were full of relief and peace of mind. He said secretly that it was really an extraordinary blessing to have such subordinates such as Boyi.

Half an hour later, Wen Han felt much more comfortable, and Gao Shun also came to tell the thief that he had gathered and was waiting for him to pass. Wen Han followed Gao Shun to an open space in Tucheng. More than 2,300 thieves looked nervous and looked at Wen Han, who was walking slowly and nervously.

Wen Han walked up to them and didn't say anything about the great righteousness. Because for these thieves from farmers, they don't understand at all.

Therefore, Wen Hanyu is talking about survival and the future. He gave these thieves two choices, one was to become his Hedong army, and the other was to throw away the killing weapon in his hand and return to Hedong and become a farmer again. Wen Han did not blame for the crimes they had done in the past.

Most of these thieves are from Hedong. They were originally farmers, but the reason why they fall into the grass and become thieves is that they have no land to cultivate and become anti-thieves in order to make a living.

Now Hedong has implemented Tuntian, and the exiles in Hedong share the land, and the families of many of these thieves are part of the exiles in Hedong. And among these thieves, many of them have received letters from their families, without exception, advising them to go back to Hedong and stop being anti-thieves. Now that they have land, they are not afraid of starving to death.

So these thieves also know that what Wen Han said was not to lie to them. More than 2,300 thieves are almost hesitantly looking around to see how other people around them choose.

After a while, many thieves left their weapons in their hands and walked aside. Walking to this side means that they have chosen to go back to Hedong, go back to their families, and become farmers again.

The thieves who want to go back to plough the fields and become farmers are all elderly middle-aged men. Most of these people are old and young. The reason why they joined the anti-thief at the beginning is that the family's livelihood accounted for a large part of the reason. After they robbed the house, many of the grain and silver they got were sent back. My own family.

Now that they are separated from their families in Hedong, they no longer need to live a life of licking blood with a knife. After returning to Hedong, they can share the joy of family with their families.

Originally, they did not return because there were also anti-thief rules among the anti-thieves. Once they fled back to Hedong, they would be wanted and hunted down by their leader. In order not to involve their families, they had to continue to live under the title of anti-thief.

And most of the remaining thieves are some strong young people. At this age, it is when they are sharp. Of course, they don't want to go back to Hedong, farm and live a mediocre life.

What's more, Wen Han just said that the treatment of the Hedong Army was so generous that they could not resist. The food and salary were doubled, and the pension was far higher than that given by the troops of other states and counties.

The promotion system is even more so. As long as there are enough achievements, you can have a day to get ahead. It will not be used as kinship like other armies. The officers are all the general's cronies, children and clans.

Moreover, what is more important is that what they follow is their idols, models, Wen Han, and Wen champions. Wen Han is about the same age as them and comes from a poor family, so they naturally have a sense of closeness to Wen Han. And Wen Han really has no airs. Many of these thieves have secretly noticed that Wen Han is very concerned about his sergeant, which makes people feel like a family.

Therefore, they finally made a decision to follow Wen Han, and maybe they can make a breakthrough in the future.

Gao Shun asked the soldiers around him to quickly count the number of people on both sides. About 1,300 people left, and 1,000 people chose to stay. And these thousand people were young and strong men. To this result, Wen Han nodded with satisfaction to the people who stayed behind and smiled at them at the same time.

For the person who left, Wen Han wrote a command with a roll of cloth and gave it to a middle-aged man who looked very calm recommended by the returnees of 1,300. After Wen Han asked them to go back to Hedong, he went to Anyi to look for Zhang Wei. At that time, Zhang Wei would try his best to help them find their family, settle down and live again.

With the 1,000 left behind, Wenhan broke them up, then divided them into his troops and Mali, and then promoted some of his original soldiers and horses, some of whom had made a lot of achievements, and became the leaders of these new soldiers. In this way, Wen Han is not afraid that they will have two minds in the future.

Since these thousand people chose to stay and follow Wen Han, they naturally accepted Wen Han's deployment. With the addition of this new force of 1,000 people, the number of troops led by Wenhan today has reached 5,500.

As for the dog-headed soldier, Wen Han asked his name when he saw that although he was greedy and afraid of death, he was also a little anxious. The dog-headed soldier heard Wen Han ask him his name, and his face suddenly surged with joy. He quickly bowed his head and said his name, Zhang Bin.

Wen Han was stunned for a moment. He quickly flashed through his mind the general who had left a name in history at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and did not find Zhang Bin's name. And Wen Han doesn't remember very well. Except for some famous figures, other people's names are only vague.

However, not leaving a name in history does not mean that this person's ability is insufficient. Zhang Bin made a lot of contributions this time. Wen Han asked Zhang Bin if he was willing to join him. After getting Zhang Bin's affirmative answer, Wen Han temporarily gave him a position as a marching Sima.

Zhang Bin was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

Although Wen Han spent a lot of time in these two battles, he has gained a lot. With the addition of a thousand new forces, the next battle in the White Dragon Mountains can be free.

At this time, the news that Wen Han led the army to the Bailong Mountains to suppress bandits has spread throughout the Bailong Mountains. Wen Han learned from Zhang Bin that there are still ten waves of rebels in the Bailong Mountains, almost about two or three thousand people. Among them, the center of the White Dragon Mountains is the largest, with tens of thousands of people.

And Zhang Bin had a slight friendship with the two waves of anti-thieves on the next hill. He recommended himself and was willing to persuade these two waves of anti-thieves and let them surrender. At present, time is tight, and it is undoubtedly the fastest way to end the war as soon as possible. Wen Han saw that Zhang Bin was confident again, so he deliberately tried it and asked Zhang Bin to prepare his clothes and set off on the same day.

After Zhang Bin left, Wen Han collected a thousand new troops. In order to make these people get along as soon as possible, Wen Han and Gao Shun seized the time to train soldiers.

Three days later, Zhang Bin came back with good news. He said that these two waves of thieves were convinced by him and were willing to surrender. Wen Han was overjoyed and immediately led the army with Gao Shun to the base camp of two waves of thieves. After collecting these two waves of thieves separately, except for more than 2,000 thieves who wanted to go back to Hedong to cultivate land and live again, Wen Han also collected more than 3,000 thieves.

For a while, Wen Han's strength reached more than 8,500, nearly twice as many as when he first came. Wen Han also scattered the newly joined thieves in the armies to prevent rebellion. Seeing that Wen Han was so powerful, the other thieves couldn't help panicking and communicated one after another to discuss how to deal with Wenhan, a court soldier.

After tasting the taste of soldiers without blood and subduing people without fighting, Wen Han called the banner of surrender and notified the thieves of each stockade. The leaders of several stockades were moved by this and deliberately surrendered.

However, just as the leaders of these stockades were preparing to send a letter to inform Wen Han that they intended to surrender, there were changes in these leaders' stockades at the same time.

These leaders were all rebelled by their subordinates, either poisoned or raided or led the confrontation, killing them all. A few days later, the thieves in these villages abandoned the villages and joined the White Dragon Rebels.

Suddenly, the strength of the White Dragon Rebel Army increased sharply, reaching more than 20,000. At the same time, the White Dragon Rebels issued a notice, informing the remaining wave of thief leaders that whoever dares to surrender to the court is the enemy of the White Dragon Rebels, and the White Dragon Rebels will send troops to destroy them at all costs.
