Chapter 14 Walk around and gather star thieves and become famous all over the world (29)
Mrs. Guo suddenly woke up after listening to Nan Ye's words. Just now, he was thinking about strengthening his strength, and he really didn't consider whether he could raise so many soldiers. So he bowed his hand and thanked, "Thank you for reminding me! Then you're welcome."
Nan Ye nodded and asked Guo Tai, Han Siam and other Bai Boshuai to choose their own soldiers. He himself came to the soldiers of Zhang Niujiao and Chu Yan.
These soldiers were singled out from the beginning, and they all thought about it. They all thought that Master Nan Ye hated the general Zhang Niujiao and Chu Yan for blocking the darts bureau from going to punish them, so they saw Nan Ye coming and knelt down and begged Nan Ye to spare his life.
Seeing the misunderstanding of these thieves, Nan Ye said to them, "Please get up quickly! I don't mean to embarrass you. Do you have a leader? Please come forward. I have something to ask.
Zhang Niujiao and Chu Yan's soldiers looked at each other in con sight. They did not know whether what Master Nanye said was true or not. Even if there were several small leaders in the queue, they did not dare to go forward for a moment for fear of being killed by Master Nanye.
As soon as Nanye saw that no one came forward, he directly said, "You may not know that before I fought with you, I asked General Guo Tai of Baibo Valley to go to General Zhang Niujiao to discuss the darts bureau. At that time, although General Zhang rejected my proposal, he later wrote to General Guo to express his willingness to cooperate with the Dart Bureau. I guessed that General Zhang and General Chu were not really enemies of me, but because other generals did not allow me to play the darts bureau, they refused to contact me face to face and in private.
Because of this, I have no intention of being the enemy of the two generals Zhang and Chu, so you can go back and convey my meaning to the two generals. The so-called enemy should be resolved or not. I hope that the two generals and I can turn war into jade and silk. In addition, I have a big gift for the two generals, please pass it on to me.
The soldiers under Zhang Niujiao and Chu Yan immediately put their hearts back into their stomachs when they heard the cause and consequences. It turned out that his general had formed a good relationship with Master Nanye, and Master Nanye was forgiven. The little leader who dared not stand up just now also jumped out and patted his chest to assure Nan Ye that he would definitely send Master Nan Ye's kindness and gifts back to the mountain.
Nan Ye nodded and made them calm. He turned around and walked to the 20,000 elite soldiers he had just selected and said, "You are the elite and craftsmen I selected from these more than 100,000 people. Nanye has always cherished talents, but I don't want to force others. I will give you four ways to choose. The first is to join my Zhenyuan Dart Bureau as a dartsman and craftsman; the second is to join General Zhang Niujiao's Black Mountain Army; the third is to join General Guo Taibai Bo's army; the fourth is to let you go back to the original cottage and continue to be my enemy. However, the ugly words are ahead. If you choose the fourth way, you will have no choice if you meet me again that day. There is only a dead end. Now you can choose by yourself.
These Black Mountain elites are not stupid. Whether they go to Zhang Niujiao or Guo Tai, they are not as good as relying on Master Nanye. After being captured, they knew that Master Nanye had defeated the million-strong army of Montenegro with 20,000 horses under his command alone. It was obviously more promising to follow Master Nanye than to follow Zhang Niujiao and Guo Tai.
Although no one chooses two or three, but some people want to choose four. This is not that they are really stubborn to fight against Nan Ye, but that their family is still in the cottage. What should they do if they don't go back to their wives and children? However, at this time, they were asked to choose the fourth road directly, but they did not have the courage. Who knew whether Master Nanye would kill all those who chose the fourth road to prevent future trouble.
Just when the thieves were hesitating, a red-faced man came out and knelt down in front of Nan Ye and said, "The mage treated me well and gave me four ways out. Normally, I shouldn't wait to be the enemy of Master Nanye again, but my parents, wife and children are still in the village. How can I rely on the mage at ease? If the mage can wait for me to reunite with my family, I will serve as a mage.
If this person doesn't say anything, Nan Ye really forgot this. At this moment, all the captured are the elites of Montenegro, and the old and young left behind in the camp have already run clean. It seems that if you want to bring these people back to heart, you have to find their families.
Nan Ye asked the red-faced man, "What's your name? Which general is under?"
The man said, "My name is Qiu Tong, and I am the deputy general under General Liu Shi."
Nan Ye asked everyone again, "Who else is in the same situation as Qiu Tong?"
Listen to Master Nanye's question, many people stood up. Nan Ye's rough calculation, although less than half of them, there are also thousands of people. So he comforted and said, "Don't worry, I'll figure it out. Are there any other questions?"
Seeing that everyone shook their heads and expressed their willingness to obey, Nan Ye asked Xi Zhicai, "Zhicai, what do you think should be?"
Xi Zhicai said, "Why is this difficult? Although the mage has surrendered them, it is not appropriate to let them enter the city to avoid revealing flaws. I think it's better to divide the army into two ways. The mage goes to the city to guard the city with the magistrate of Nawang County. I took these people to sweep away the thieves' cottages and pick up their homes to urinate.
Nan Ye shook his head and said, "How did this make it? At least half of the Montenegrin army escaped and defended the fortress. I'm afraid it's not easy to break through. Zhicai still doesn't take risks. Even if he put these small families back, he will only lose thousands of people. If it is a strong attack on the thieves, I'm worried that the loss will be greater, which is not cost-effective.
Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "The mage deserves to be the protector of merchants all over the world. He fights with the shrewdness of merchants."
Nan Ye gave a white look and said, "Don't you just say that my city is over? But I still say that war is only a means, not an end. If you make money from war, you will be wise and martial arts. If you fight, you will lose that it will be called poor soldiers. So I only fight a steady battle."
Xi Zhicai arched his hand and said, "I'm loyal to be taught, and I will make a steady profit."
Nan Ye asked, "What is the good strategy for Zhicai to break the enemy?"
Xi Zhicai said, "There is no need for a good policy, as long as you directly call the camp. I just asked these soldiers. Most of their commanders were killed, and most of them were old and young in the camp and scattered in more than ten cottages. I led these two thousand soldiers and General Guo's surrender. It is estimated that there will be 50,000 elites. I'm afraid no copycat will dare to fight with us. In this way, it's my turn to bully more and oppress people with momentum. How dare they not let people go?
As soon as Nan Ye nod his head to speak, Mrs. Guo suddenly came up and said, "Mr. Zhicai's clever plan! Among the soldiers I chose, there were also small families left in the village. I would like to go to Zhao'an with Mr. Zhicai.
When Nanye saw Mrs. Guo coming, he asked, "How many people did General Guo choose to return to the camp?"
Guo Tai smiled and said, "Not much, not much, only 10,000 people."
Nan Yeqi said, "No way! Only 10,000 were selected out of 80,000 people. Are you too demanding?
Mrs. Guo waved her hand and said, "The mage misunderstood that I chose 10,000 people. In addition, Yang Feng, Han Siam, Li Le and Hu Cai also selected 10,000 people each.
Nan Ye smiled and said, "That's right! Since these 50,000 people also have their families in the cottage, you don't want to go with Zhicai. For the remaining 30,000 people, let's give General Zhang Niujiao as a meeting gift. When you go to the cottages, take these 30,000 people and those soldiers under the command of Zhang Niujiao and Chu Yan. Even if they are not allowed to fight, they can be strong.
In this way, more than 100,000 Heishan soldiers were divided into three parts, Nan Ye asked for 20,000, Guo Tai asked for 50,000, and the remaining 30,000 were given to Zhang Niujiao and Chu Yan's command. Nan Ye got the elite among the 20,000 elites, which is naturally secretly happy. Mrs. Guo felt that she had made little credit, but she was very embarrassed. She thought that she would have the opportunity to repay Master Nanye's kindness in the future. The most pleasing thing is the soldiers under Zhang and Chu. They never thought that they would surrender and be able to be captured. If they returned to the camp with 30,000 people, they would not only be innocent but also meritorious. Master Nanye was indeed righteous.
After the assignment, Nan Ye thought of another question and said to Xi Zhicai, "Just now, I chased all the way, and the grain and grass were left behind. What can Zhicai lead these many people without food and fodder? It's better for Zhicai to station here first. I'll go to Fubing Mountain Pass to get back the food and grass for you.
Xi Zhicai shook his head and said, "The soldiers are very fast. At this time, you will miss the opportunity to get food and fodder. I want to break through the thieves of Montenegro in one fell swoop, but as the mage said, it is really difficult to do without food and fodder. It's better for the mage to borrow grain from the county magistrate to send it to me, and then return it with the grain and fodder in the mountain pass. This can save a lot of time.
Nan Ye laughed and said, "It should be! It's still thoughtful. Within an hour, I will send the grain and fodder here. After saying that, he summoned 5,000 bodyguards to rush back to Tao.
