Chapter 374 How can they be considered bandits? Aren't they living Bodhisattvas?
"General Li usually looks so brave, but I didn't expect him to be so cowardly today. It's just a small mountain bandit, but you were scared away."
Listening to the constant ridicule and sarcasm from the people around him, Li Zhi looked unhappy.
"You are brave, but you didn't even explore the surrounding terrain in advance, and you ran to suppress the bandits, and the bandits were beaten and fled."
"If I hadn't asked you to retreat in time, I'm afraid I don't know how many people would have died!"
This group of idiots knew nothing and thought that these mountain bandits were a mob, but they didn't know that they had set up a trap. They didn't even see the people, but they injured many soldiers.
"I, Li Zhi, don't want to fight with you idiots. Since you look down on me, I won't fight with you. Aren't there three camps? Let's fight separately."
Hearing Li Zhi's words, two generals with weaker strength became anxious.
"General Li Zhi, you are too angry. We were just joking. Why are you angry?"
"That's right, it's just a joke. Why are you so angry?"
"At most, we won't say anything."
Those who are stronger and disagree with Li Zhi snorted coldly.
"He is just a reckless man. If it weren't for the good luck of meeting His Majesty, how could he become a general? I'm afraid he wouldn't even be a centurion."
The centurion standing aside silently was particularly embarrassed.
He tried to shrink himself into the corner of the tent, fearing that Li Zhi would get angry and blame him.
Li Zhi had a simple mind and didn't have so many ideas.
"Since you look down on me so much, it's better to separate, so as to avoid disputes."
So they divided the one thousand elite soldiers.
Each person got three hundred elite soldiers.
When suppressing bandits, one thousand elite soldiers were not considered many. Now that they are divided again, each person only has three hundred elite soldiers, which is even less.
If they go to suppress bandits, the mountain bandits don't need to seriously check how many troops the other side has. They can guess roughly by just standing on the top of the mountain and taking a look.
After the soldiers were divided, some generals had already regretted it.
Can such a small number of soldiers really suppress bandits?
You know, the average mountain bandits have hundreds of people, and it is possible to have thousands of people.
But the division has been done, and they can't give in to Li Zhi at this time.
So they can only bite the bullet and return to their own tents to discuss strategies.
Li Zhi continued to stay in the main tent, looking at Gan Huaizhong with a simple face.
"My dear nephew, what should we do next?"
Gan Huaizhong: "..."
These generals are too frivolous. Fortunately, this is to suppress bandits. If it were on the battlefield, they would have to lose this battle.
He looked at Li Zhi with his slightly childish face, with a serious expression: "Uncle Li, have you arranged people to hide in the dark to support us today?"
Li Zhi nodded: "I dare not disobey my nephew's orders. I sent more than a hundred people to support us in secret, but those people said that they did not find anyone chasing us."
Gan Huaizhong nodded: "This proves that the bandits have no intention of killing us all."
"I'm afraid these bandits are not evil and treacherous."
"Although I didn't go with you when you went to suppress the bandits today, I took people to ask around carefully. Although the Laoheishan bandits we are going to suppress this time are fierce, they never rob the poor."
"In that case, these bandits are not bad."
Robbing the rich and helping the poor is quite moral.
As soon as the compliment came out, Li Zhi shook his head and denied what he had just said.
"No, no, the lives of officials and merchants are also lives, killing people is wrong."
Gan Huaizhong continued: "Although they killed people, they only killed those corrupt officials, and as for the passing caravans, they only robbed the big caravans." "
Only killed corrupt officials, not merchants?"
So he is a good person.
Gan Huaizhong nodded: "That's right, they only kill corrupt officials, not businessmen."
Li Zhi slapped his thigh: "Then how can they be considered bandits, they are living Bodhisattvas!"
"These corrupt officials have done all kinds of bad things. Killing one corrupt official can prevent at least hundreds of people from suffering. Therefore, killing a corrupt official is like doing a hundred good things. They have made a lot of merit."
Gan Huaibi slapped his thigh after hearing this: "Uncle Li Shishu, Uncle Li Shishu, how can you say you are my father's brother? You have the same idea as me."
"Didn't father tell us to only kill those bad bandits? They are clearly good bandits."
"But, how can we recruit them?"
Anyone who becomes a bandit has lost trust in the court.
When the Shunyi Army first took control of Jinyang Pass, it was difficult for these bandits to trust them.
It would be difficult to subdue them.
Gan Huaizhong smiled and said, "How can it be difficult?"
"Haven't you forgotten that the Goddess gives out divine objects every day? We just need to let them see the divine objects given by the Goddess, and they will naturally believe us."
With the Goddess backing her up, Gan Tian was simply reckless when exchanging things. Whether or not the items came with packaging was not something she considered at all.
But these packages were very wonderful to the people who had never seen them before. They were brightly colored and made of magical materials.
Such things would surely gain the trust of the bandits if they appeared out of nowhere.
"What if they still don't want to believe it?"
"If they still don't want to believe it, then show your sincerity and invite them to come to Jinyang Pass and Xuyang Pass to take a look."
"I believe no one wants to hide in the mountains for a lifetime and do robbery."
Gan Huaizhong's tone was very firm, as if as long as they went, the bandits in Laohei Mountain would be recruited immediately.
Yu Wenshu's eyelids twitched when he heard it, but the others present trusted Gan Huaizhong very much and had no intention of questioning him at all.
"Everyone, have a good rest. We will go to Laohei Mountain early tomorrow morning."
I don't know if God deliberately spoiled the fun. It started raining early in the morning. It was not suitable for marching when it rained, so everyone had to wait quietly for the rain to stop before setting off.
It had just rained, and the road in the mountains became extremely muddy.
The road in Laohei Mountain was already rugged and difficult to walk on, and it was even more difficult to walk on it. Some horses even fell down.
The children did not come with us yesterday, but today they set out with Li Zhi in high spirits. Halfway through the journey, someone couldn't help but vomit.
"It's too bumpy, this road is too bumpy."
Looking at the halfway mountain road left, except for the two brothers of the Gan family, the children all sulked.
"You are all too naive. It's just a mountain road, but you are all so exhausted. What great things can you achieve in the future?"
Gan Huaibi put his hands on his waist and showed off his power to the others.
The kids didn't even have the ability to talk back.
