Of course, the emperor didn't really ask them to kill or arrest all 130,000 rebels. He did have this wish, but the 200,000 army was against the 130,000, not to mention how much food and grass they needed. Can't afford it.

The emperor just wanted to give those rebels a warning and let them accept the recruitment honestly. After all, if a fight really started, their losses would be huge. If there is no war, those people just need to concentrate on fighting them, but the court still has many concerns,

The officials also knew that this was the art of speaking, so no one was so stupid as to come out to correct the emperor, so this decision spread to the Jinghu area for some reason. In the eyes of the rebels, it was the emperor who couldn't bear it and decided to send troops to fight them to the death signal of.

The bandits were panicked at first, and then they started to communicate and discuss forming an alliance to resist the imperial army. Even Liu Dahei and Lin Man rushed to participate with anxiety.

As for the two who recently fought against the imperial army, they were met by other bandit leaders cordially in turn, and unanimously inquired about the strength of the imperial court with them.

Because the battle between Liu Dahei and Lin Man was really ugly. More than 30,000 people surrounded 3,000 people and the general called the dog officer took them out. The words were ugly, but there was a lot of sarcasm, so the two of them felt very aggrieved along the way. They wanted to talk about their hearts and resolve each other, but everyone felt that their relationship was not good. Every time they As soon as they get together, there are people who follow them around, and the euphemistic name is: to persuade them to prevent them from conflicting.

But in fact, it's just to watch the fun.

The faces of the two of them became darker, and they passed by in a hurry when they finally got together to discuss strategies, "Still pay attention to Qi Haoran's movements, when the time comes, we will directly bring people to his side, and directly confront Qi Haoran, we have his With the handle in his hand, he will definitely not dare to do anything to us, we will discuss it and let him let us go."

Lin Man agreed to Liu Dahei's strategy, and went back to watch the alliance's melee with peace of mind. They were fighting inseparably in order to elect a leader.

At this time, Qi Haoran, whom Liu Dahei Linman placed high hopes on, was running around on the dirt road with more than 1,400 remnants of soldiers. Only when the sun was about to rise, Qi Haoran ordered to rest on the spot, and the soldiers immediately Rolling on the grass on both sides of the road, or running straight into the woods and lying down, I was really exhausted.

Qi Haoran sat cross-legged on the ground, took out a piece of dry food and stuffed it into his mouth, then took out the map, finally clicked on a point, and said: "You can go out from here to Tongren, Tongren is not occupied by the rebels. In the middle, it is not known whether the Tongren defenders participated in the action of encircling and suppressing the rebels."

Deputy General Zhong said while drinking water: "I think I will definitely participate. It would be nice to leave a thousand people to defend the city."

He looked at the hard cake in his hand sadly, "I don't know if Tongren has any military rations to supply."

They found a lot of supply points along the way, most of which were moldy grains. As early as a few days ago, they left the range of Hengzhou, and the supply points they found behind were all from other garrisons. It wasn't just the Hengzhou garrison who did this.

Lieutenant Zhong was so angry that he scolded "corrupt officials" for several days, Qi Haoran looked at him with disdain, "Is it interesting to scold yourself?"

Lieutenant Zhong choked until his face turned red, but he didn't dare to complain anymore.

Qi Haoran didn't want to disturb the people, they just passed through the village and didn't enter. They also knew that Qi Haoran's military discipline was strict, so no one dared to commit crimes and rob the people by force. Deputy General Zhong thought that the soldiers might not be able to survive after two days He and Qi Haoran protested, and then he could take the opportunity to force Qi Haoran to agree to their self-sufficiency, but who knows that Qi Haoran's requirements are strict, and the soldiers below not only did not make trouble, but became more convinced by him.

Deputy General Zhong saw Qi Haoran gradually taking control of the entire army from him, but he didn't dare to make any moves. Although he had Qi Haoran's handle, Qi Haoran also held his lifeline. They had successfully broken through the siege and had subdued several confidantes, and their prestige in the army was getting stronger. In addition, he was already higher than him, and Vice General Zhong's control over the army gradually weakened.

Thinking of having to eat several more meals of moldy dry food, Deputy General Zhong took a bite of the dry food, and then swallowed it down vigorously.

After the hottest period passed, Qi Haoran got up and led the crowd to continue marching, and a scout came to report: "General, there is a village ahead, do you want to stop and rest tonight?"

Qi Haoran looked up at the sky, and ordered: "Don't stop, it doesn't matter where you go before dark."

Now the discipline of the army looks very good, and the soldiers are willing to follow him to eat moldy dry food, and will not disturb the people, but if they live in the village and see other people eating rice, eating as much as they have, even women and children, their army Can the tired army really continue to maintain this strict discipline?

Qi Haoran would not take such a gamble.

However, Deputy General Zhong and the soldiers under him just thought that Qi Haoran didn't want to disturb the common people, so they continued to follow Qi Haoran without any expression, but when they were about to pass through the village, Qi Haoran stopped.

Deputy General Zhong asked puzzledly, "General, what's wrong?"

Qi Haoran looked at the village with a frown, raised his nose, and finally frowned and called a scout, "Go into the village and take a look, be careful."

The scout didn't know why, but turned around and ran into the village.

This village is very close to the main road, but more than 300 meters, and the overlapping of houses in the village can be clearly seen among the trees. It can be seen that the conditions are not bad.

Qi Haoran walked along the road with his people, but there was no reaction in the village at all. If the villagers hid because they were afraid of military disasters, what about the dogs they raised?

More than 1,400 of them did not deliberately reduce the movement, so this small movement would definitely startle the dogs raised by the people in the village. They had heard dogs barking when they passed around some villages before.

Qi Haoran felt something was wrong all the time, until he got to the bottom of the air vent and smelled a faint smell of blood, then he felt that the village was too quiet, so quiet that people felt weird.

Qi Haoran looked in the direction of the village with a sullen face, and the scout he sent out ran back with a pale face, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "General, something happened in the village, and there are all corpses. The subordinates are not sure whether the murderer is still hiding in the village or not. , so I dare not say anything."

Qi Haoran sank face into the water, "How long is the corpse?"

The scout paused and said, "This subordinate has touched two of them, they are already cold, and their blood has already coagulated. Judging by the corpse spots on their faces, it must be a long time."

The possibility of the murderer still staying in the village is very small, and it is unknown whether there are still people alive in the village.
