Deputy Commander Zhang couldn't make a decision by himself, so he called the guard team leader over to discuss the matter together. The guard team leaders had different opinions and quarreled:
"Since the High Priest and Commander Xia want us to persuade those rogues to become good citizens, they will naturally save them. Otherwise, what should we do if we go back to the Priest's Mansion and blame us?"
"It's just rogues. What if our guards take their lives? What are these people worth saving?"
"The fire is so big, even if we go in, maybe we won't be able to save anyone, but we will destroy our own people inside."
"This mountain is so big, if they want to escape, they must have their own way. We don't need to take such a big risk..."
…
Deputy Commander Zhang listened for a long time, but said nothing.
These captains of the guards basically had exactly the same true thoughts in his heart, and they were unwilling to risk their lives to save people, even if some of them already knew that the rogues in the cottage were their own.
Deputy Commander Zhang stood up: "Since everyone's discussion is so consistent, let's not save them, but if you see escaped bandits at the bottom of the mountain, everyone take them in and comfort them..."
After finishing speaking, after assigning tasks, Deputy Commander Zhang went to report to Qin Wuyan: "Commander Qin, after discussing with the lowly officials, it was unanimously decided that those rogues who have been in the village for a long time must have a special passage, and they will escape down the mountain by themselves. Take the risk..."
Qin Wuyan put away the bamboo flute, put it in his hand to play, dangled his two long legs on the branch of the tree, leaned half on the branch, looked down at the people below, and said with a half-smile: "Special channel?"
Deputy Commander Zhang's face was full of unnaturalness: "Probably so."
"You mean to give these rogues a special passage to transport food?"
Deputy Commander Zhang was shocked: "Commander Qin means..."
Qin Wuyan suppressed his smile: "The first day this commander arrived here, he sent a group of people out. You don't think they are going out for fun, do you?"
Deputy Commander Zhang: "..."
It's over, is the channel for transporting grain and grass blocked?
The last trace of luck was also killed in the cradle.
Qin Wuyan raised his hands and supported his head: "Since these rogues have become bandits, they want to search for the people's food and grass, and make a special trip to transport them to the village, so this commander withholds their food and grass, blocking their passage.
Calculating the time, after eating the food stored in the cottage, they would have been hungry for at least five days, but there are birds and animals in the mountain, so they shouldn't be so hungry..."
It's just that the guards who came out of the priest's mansion have long been used to being pampered. They don't have the survival skills they used to have. Those who can't endure hunger can think of other ways. Those who can survive may still hug Qin Wuyan and lead others The idea of attacking the cottage...
Deputy Commander Zhang's legs trembled: "Commander Qin... is wise."
Qin Wuyan laughed more and more cheerfully: "The commander has made them hungry for so long, and burned half of the mountain with one fire. They probably don't have much strength to run..."
As soon as the subject changed, Qin Wuyan continued to ask Vice Commander Zhang: "Vice Commander Zhang, this Commander didn't spend a single soldier, but almost wiped out the entire army of the bandits. How do you feel about this battle? Was it enjoyable?"
Deputy Commander Zhang seemed to have been tortured by someone, and his voice became hoarse: "Commander Qin really counts everything, as long as Commander Qin thinks it is enjoyable.
Humble...humble to do something else. "
Qin Wuyan waved his hand at him: "Go."
He looked down at the people below, and saw Deputy Commander Zhang looking in the direction of the fire, motionless, his feet seemed to be rooted...
The smile on Qin Wuyan's face instantly sank...
