"I think you have read a book when you dress. Why are you willing to help the bandits in Heifengling harm the people?"

Huan Chang Zonglu came to the side of the down-and-out scholar, frowned and asked. Tianlai Novel.|2

When Huan Chang issued an ultimatum, most of the bandits were shocked and had no time to react.

Only this scholar who was running out of breath persuaded the boss to surrender and save his life.

When Huan Chang saw the down-and-out scholar, he felt quite displeased.

Although the martial artists in Jiuzhou have a very high status, most of the scholars have the character and their status among the vassal states is even higher than that among the warriors.

Among the literati of Kyushu, there is indeed no shortage of scum, but most literati are hostile to those warriors who violate the ban by using martial arts.

As for helping bandits occupy the mountains and become kings, bullying and killing people nearby, they are even more despised by the scribes.

This also makes it difficult for these bandits to meet literati who have actually read books.

This is why the leader of Heifengling treated him very much after he caught the down-and-out scholar.

Of course, these are not the ones that make Huan Chang despise the most. After all, everyone has their own way of life. The scholar in front of him might have to suffer the same difficulties as the bandits.

However, eating the king's fortune will share the worries of the king.

Since this scholar has defected to Heifeng Ridge, no matter what the reason is, he naturally has to do business for Heifeng Ridge, so that the word "loyalty" is reflected.

The scholar in front of him saw officers and soldiers coming to encircle and suppress the situation. Before he could figure out the situation, he persuaded the head of Heifengling to surrender in front of many bandits.

In Huan Chang's opinion, the scholar in front of him is a person who is tempted and greedy for life and death, so he will naturally not be too friendly to him.

However, Huan Chang said first, those who surrendered before the cloth fell to the ground were spared from death.

Although the scholar did not kneel down and surrender, he also persuaded the boss to surrender before the cloth fell to the ground, and had already revealed his intention to surrender.

People do not stand without trust. Since the scholar in front of them is ready to surrender, even though Huan Chang dislikes the other party, he still takes action to save him.

Faced with Huan Chang's questioning, the down-and-out scholar smiled bitterly, saying that he was determined to serve the country, but he had no way to go and was finally robbed by bandits to go up the mountain one by one.

Huan Chang watched coldly and did not have any sympathy, because Huan Chang had a bad impression of this person. Under the influence of preconceived ideas, he naturally did not believe in the words of the down-and-out scholar.

"Lord, the remaining thieves have been captured alive. What should we do?"

A captain with a tiger's back and a bear's waist rushed to Huan Chang's side, clasped his fists and said respectfully.

Huan Chang frowned slightly when he heard this, thinking about how to let the arrested bandits exert their remaining value.

Just as Huan Chang frowned and thought, the down-and-out scholar said something.

"I'm bold to make a statement, and I hope the general can spare these people."

When Huan Chang heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his powerful momentum suddenly scattered from his body, directly pressing the down-and-out scholar to kneel down to the ground.

"You still want to plead for these people?"

Huan Chang showed an angry look on his face and stared at the down-and-out scholar with a bad look.

However, Huan Chang was not angry, but instead couldn't touch the person's thoughts.

Huan Chang thought that this person was greedy for life and feared death.

However, at this point, the scholars in front of him still dared to make suggestions to make Huan Chang let go of the bandits, but they didn't seem to be afraid of death.

The reason why Huan Chang showed an angry expression was just to test this person.

The down-and-out scholar knelt on the ground, and under the pressure of Huan Chang's majestic momentum, beads of sweat as big as beans rolled down.

However, the person's face did not show a look of fear, but instead raised his head stubbornly.

"Do you dare to ask the general who led his troops to come this time, but it is just to clear the Black Wind Ridge?"

The down-and-out scholar asked without being humble or arrogant.

"So what, so what, no?"

"If the general led his troops to destroy this bandits in Heifengling just because they did a lot of evil, even if they could kill everyone."

"But I can see below that the general's cavalry are all warriors in the room. Such a powerful lineup will definitely not come just for Black Wind Ridge."

"If what I expected was not bad, it must be that Mr. Song made up his mind to eliminate domestic bandits, and that allowed the general commander to come."

The face of the down-and-out scholar showed a confident look.

Huan Chang was secretly shocked when he heard this. He did not expect that the scholars in this bandit group could actually see the details and guess the true intention of Mr. Song.

Although this speculation is a bit one-sided, it is enough to prove that this person is extraordinary.

Huan Chang hurriedly withdrew his momentum, stepped forward and helped the down-and-out scholar up, and asked, "Sir, continue talking."

The down-and-out scholar patted the dust on his knees and said, "It is definitely very easy for the general's heroic soldiers to wipe out all the bandits in Xuanyang City."

"However, there are countless bandit forces in the entire Song Dynasty. If the general fights one by one, it will definitely last for a long time."

"When these bandits get the news, they will also be afraid of the general's military. What should they do if they hide in the mountains?"

"What's more, the bandit group is not necessarily all evil people. Some bandits are forced to become bandits because of their lives."

"If the generals conquer one by one, they will definitely cause endless killings, which is not in line with the idea of ​​the Song Dynasty governing the country with benevolence."

Huan Chang finally became serious when he heard this and continued to ask, "What should I do if I do this?"

The down-and-out scholar continued to talk, saying: "The way of military strategy is to attack the city as the best, and to attack the heart as the best."

"Look at these captured bandits are now scared. If the general lets them go, through the mouths of these people, he will definitely be able to promote the strength of the imperial army."

"In this way, as long as the general gives an ultimatum to the counterfeits, they should be able to make the right choice in the face of both death and capture."

Huan Chang nodded secretly, and was also amazed at the wisdom of this scholar.

"Transfer our military orders to cut off these people's ears, send people to follow them, and urge them to spread the things that are born today."

"If anyone refuses to do so, he will be killed without mercy!"

"In addition, send someone to notify the lord of Xuanyang City, asking him to issue an ultimatum to all bandit groups in the country in the name of the government."

"Those who surrender within seven days are exempted from death. They only need to perform labor service according to their evil deeds. If someone is stubborn, the fate will be like Black Wind Ridge!"

After Huan Chang's order was issued, soldiers immediately took the order and left.

All the captured bandits were cut off their ears, but they were intimidated. Then, under the surveillance of the soldiers, they went to join the other bandit forces.
