Chapter 305 Persuasion
He Pu pulled out his waist knife from the sheath with his right hand, and was crossed to his neck, and was about to commit suicide.
But at this moment, a guard beside him suddenly shouted, "General, be careful!" He pulled him westward and leaned against the hillside. He Pu suddenly got off his right hand and fell to the ground by a pulling knife, and he almost fell down.
Moreover, because of this, He Pu's thoughts of committing suicide were interrupted. He couldn't help but look forward. When he saw the soldiers passing by two steps in front of him, he was rushing to escape south. He Pu turned his head and looked out to the open land outside. After seeing that he left the path of sheep, the soldiers were probably gathered with people from the same tribe before they were captured. More than a dozen or dozens of people scattered in groups and ran in different directions.
"General, give orders quickly!" the guard shouted again: "It would be good to order to stop these soldiers, and it would be good to stop one person."
"How to stop? And what's the use of stopping a few people?" He Pu said with a wry smile: "Even if you stop a hundred people, nearly half of them will escape. How different is it from the moment?"
"General, what's wrong with you?" The guard immediately realized that he was different from usual.
"The situation is now irreversible, and the Governor must deal with me a lot. I might as well stop myself, so that the Governor will not implicate my family for the sake of my diligence in the past." He Pu said with a wry smile.
"General, you can't think so! If you commit suicide, what should we do!" the guard shouted immediately.
"It's up to you to your own fortune."
"General, you must not commit suicide!" The guard shouted again: "Even if you think about your own wife and children, you cannot commit suicide!
The rules of the Tang Dynasty were that the disaster was not as good as the wife and children. If a person died of death, he would not be investigated again. But is the rule of this? If a person is a big cannibal, it is not this rule, if a general commits suicide, not only will he die, but his wife and children cannot be protected!
Even if the rules of the big food are the same as those of the Tang Dynasty, will they be used on us Han people? For the big food, the Han people are equal to barbarians, and the rules used on civilized people may not be used on the barbarians. The Tang Dynasty's method of eliminating southwestern barbarians has never been used in the Central Plains several times!"
These words of guarding shocked He Pu's heart! He never thought whether the rules in the Dashi officialdom were the same as those in the Tang Dynasty, and if they were different or not applicable to Han people like him, wouldn't he die in vain?
"Besides, if the general is not dead, even if Bingbo Silin is very angry, he will not do anything to the general. At most, he will just do the job of the general. The great cannibals are still thinking about "using barbarians to control barbarians". He uses Han people to control the Han people. In addition to the general, how many people can trust them? The Shi family can trust them, but the great cannibals are worried that the Shi family has too much power. If he eliminates the Shi family, there are not many, so he can only use General.
So the general doesn't have to be discouraged, nor does he have to apologize for his death. It's serious to quickly gather a few more deserters and reduce some of his crimes!" said the guard at last.
"You are right, you are right. I can't die, I can't die; I don't need to die, I don't need to die." He Pu muttered several times, raised his head and looked around, and saw that most of the people had escaped, and there were only one or two hundred people left in the path, and ordered the guards:
"You will immediately dispatch the remaining people to stop them; inform Shi Xin again and ask him to send troops to stop them. No, the soldiers under Shi Xin's command are not very morale now, and they may escape and cannot move; Humamu!" He turned his head and shouted to one of his deputy generals.
"General He." Hu Mamu was in a state of silence at this time. He had never experienced soldiers escaping, nor did he think of committing suicide in an instant, but he still had not come back to his senses.
"Send out the 120 soldiers I handed over to you and catch people in this vast land in the south!"
"Catch people? Who are you arresting?"
"Of course, it's about catching deserters!" He Pu shouted loudly.
"Desert, a deserter!" Hu Mamu finally came to his senses and shouted: "Catch deserter!"
"Yes." Everyone agreed and immediately turned over and grabbed the deserter. In fact, they wanted to do this just now, but Hu Mamu had been silent and had no response to the centurion's request for instructions several times, and did not dare to make decisions without authorization. They could only be anxious. At this time, they received the order and took action immediately.
"Hujiaqi, let's go find Shi Xin." He Pu ordered again, and as he spoke, he had already turned over.
"Yes." Although Hu Mamu had come to his senses, he still didn't know what to do. He obeyed He Pu unconditionally and immediately turned on his horse.
The two of them left with their guards looking for Shi Xin. Although the road was extremely narrow, the southern half was empty at this time, and the two horses were not slow to go in parallel.
"Shi Xin!" He Pu shouted loudly again when he came to the front of half of the soldiers who had not escaped.
"I'm here." Shi Xin agreed, wanting to ask, "General He, what's going on, why half of the soldiers suddenly escaped?", but finally he held back.
Although he couldn't understand the shouting on the hillside, he could think of something He Pu and Hu Mamu could think of, and immediately understood that the rebel army's real last trick was to use this special environment to let the tribe Turks escape; the result was also very simple and clear. Most tribe Turks escaped successfully, and only a few would be stopped.
This is a huge mistake that the Hardy Army had never had before. The Governor must be furious, and all three of them will be punished. He Pu most likely cannot continue to serve as the head general of the Hardy Army, and Humamu will most likely be transferred back to the Dashi Army to continue to be the commander of the thousand men. Although he had the least mistake, he was most likely unavoidable to be demoted. The positions of the Hardy Army commander and the Governor of the Shuye Town, which he and He Pu, who had previously appointed, will naturally fall on others.
In this case, what is the point of mocking He Pu? Could it be that he would not be punished if he mocked He Pu? Since there is no meaning, he and He Pu have no personal grudges before, which was all for reassuring the cannibals. At this time, Shi Xin would certainly not mock him again.
"Shi Xin, immediately lead his troops to leave this path from the south and come to the open land." He Pu said this order again.
"Yes." Shi Xin agreed and turned around and began to command the soldiers.
It was not easy to command them at this time. Three people were killed by the bombing and saw countless people running away with their own eyes. The morale of the recruited soldiers had fallen to the bottom. If it weren't for Shi Xin's suppression, they would have probably already run away. After a long time, Shi Xin led them out of the path of the sage and to the open place in the south.
"Order the soldiers to set up camp." He Pu ordered. In fact, it was still early at this time, but in this situation, there was no way to order to continue moving forward. Moreover, he had to discuss with Shi Xin and Hu Mamu how to go next, so he set up camp in advance.
"Don't let ordinary soldiers cut wood, the 120 soldiers I handed over to you to log wood." He ordered Humamu again.1603379542
