"Book of Han·Chronicles of Emperor Cheng" records: "In June of summer, one hundred and eighty people including Yingchuan iron official Shen Tu Sheng killed the chief officials, stole soldiers from the treasury, claimed to be generals, and went through nine counties.

Arrest and engage in military activities, but they will all be killed."

Seeing the vulnerable Shentu tribe under the city and fleeing for their lives, Wang Mang, who was standing on top of the city in Xu County, immediately remembered this passage in "Book of Han·Chronicle of the Emperor".

"It turns out that this is a chase. No wonder Emperor Chengzhong only used such a light word to put an end to Shentu Shengzhi's chaos. They are really a mob, vulnerable to a single blow!"

Facing this situation, Wang Mang couldn't help but feel this emotion in his heart.

I thought it would be a brutal tug-of-war, but in the end, Shentu Sheng lost all his courage after the fight, and turned into a sickly soft-footed shrimp.

Facing the 5,000 regular troops of the imperial court under Wang Mang, Shentu Sheng's less than 30,000 men were like frightened lambs. These 5,000 regular troops in armor were like 5,000 hungry wolves.

With his strength, Shentu Sheng’s subordinates had already dispersed and fled for their lives, disobeying orders.

It's a pity that they didn't have the strength to escape, because their strength had long been exhausted by the harsh winter. They lacked food and clothing along the way, so it would be great if they could reach Xu County alive.

What's more, there are Wang Mang's five thousand fully armed regular troops of the imperial court waiting for work inside and outside Xu County. These people are all transferred from the border army, and each of them is a strong man with strong strength, like a wolf and a tiger.

It would be easier for an army like this to massacre Shentu Sheng's rabble than to chop melons and vegetables.

It can be seen how arrogant Shentu Sheng is and how lucky Wang Mang is.

Faced with this sudden battle situation, Wang Mang felt like he was in a dream. He never expected that the Shentu Saint Tribe would be so vulnerable!

To exterminate them, we really just used the word "capture"!

Wen Qi also stood beside Wang Mang. He looked at the one-sided battle situation below the city, as if he was dreaming.

It's just that he couldn't tell whether it was Shen Tu Sheng who was a thief who was too naive, or Wang Mang who was too good at using troops!

But looking at the expressionless Wang Mang on the side, Wen Qi suddenly felt awe in his eyes.

Such a brutal massacre under the city has turned the snow-covered soil into red blood mud, and there are chopped up and inhuman corpses everywhere, but as the coach, Wang Mang can be so calm, as if he is admiring

General scenery.

Such determination made Wen Qi feel more in awe of Wang Mang. At this moment, Wen Qi was even more certain that Wang Mang was a born iron-faced general.

In Wen Qi's eyes, Wang Mang's eyes that were indifferent to life and his unwavering expression all revealed his ruthlessness.

But in fact this is not the case. Wang Mang is not heartless, but numb.

Seeing so many people being slaughtered one-sidedly like this, Wang Mang's mood was extremely complicated. He never thought that one day he would rise up on the corpses of so many poor people.

At this moment, Wang Mang experienced firsthand what it meant to say "one general's success can lead to ten thousand bones being withered", and what it means to say "human life is just a cold number"!

Looking at the chaotic carnage below, Wang Mang said in a hoarse voice: "Beat the drums and send out troops. Anyone who wins the slaughter of the saint's head will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins."

At this moment, Wang Mang did not have the heart of a Holy Mother because of Shentu Sheng's pity. It seemed that he liked this bloodthirsty feeling deep in his heart.

This feeling made Wang Mang horrified. He didn't know whether this feeling belonged to himself or to Wang Mang whose memory had been integrated with him?

Is this the madness hidden deep in Wang Mang's heart?

No wonder Wang Mang in history killed his own son like a chicken. How could such a cold-blooded person pretend to be courteous and courteous for decades?

Wang Mang's hair stood on end when he thought of this!

It turns out that the original Wang Mang himself was such a crazy critic. He was born cold-blooded and good at disguise. No wonder he was able to secretly scheme against the two emperors and usurp the Han Dynasty's 200-year-old legacy.

After giving the final order, Wang Mang walked down the Xu County city wall as if nothing happened, as if the war outside had nothing to do with him.

Half a day later, Yan You and Wen Qi returned from the bloody battle. Both of them came back with a bloody head in their hands. They walked into the lobby where Wang Mang was, clasped their fists and saluted: "General, we have fulfilled our mission and have put the head down."

Take the head of the bandit!"

Looking at the bleeding gash on his head and neck, Wang Mang couldn't help but feel nauseated.

But in the end I endured it.

Wang Mang said: "Why two heads? Is this thief so talented that he has two heads on his shoulders?"

Yan You and Wen Qi smiled and explained: "No. The first level of this head is the head of the Shen thief, and the second is the head of the Shen thief's dog-headed military advisor."

When Wang Mang heard this, he immediately replied: "He is indeed a dog-headed strategist. He followed the Shen thieves to wreak havoc in nine counties for half a year, but he was unable to help the Shen thieves gain an inch of ground, and he could not help the Shen thieves to train as a warrior. Such a waste

First of all, why should I ask for credit? Throw it away quickly."

Wang Mang disliked the head of Shen Tu Sheng’s dog-headed military advisor so much that he didn’t like it at all.

However, even so, Wang Mang still issued a strict order, and Wen Qi rewarded the sergeant who beheaded the dog-headed military advisor with the same reward of a thousand gold.

After all, a group of sergeants came all the way from Chang'an to kill the enemy and receive a reward, right?

Since Wang Mang, as the commander-in-chief of an army, has now won another one-sided battle, he naturally has to show his courage and should be rewarded.

Otherwise, how can we make these sergeants completely devoted to us in the future?

After chatting with Yan You and Wen Qi for a few words, Wang Mang issued another military order: "Everyone who participated in this battle and killed the enemy will be recorded in a book to discuss their merits. I will ask the imperial court to award you a reward soon."

Yan You and Wen Qi replied excitedly: "Here!"

While Wang Mang, Yan You, and Wen Qi were talking in the lobby of Xu County, Chen Xian and Zhu Bo, who were holding the rear for Wang Mang thirty miles away, also received the military report delivered quickly.

When the two heard that Wang Mang had wiped out all the Shen thieves and beheaded the Shen thieves, they sat up in shock.

"What?! The thieves have been wiped out? The leader of the thieves has been killed?"

The two of them listened to the military report sent by Qingqi and felt that their ears were hallucinating.

Chen Xian asked in disbelief: "Is that a big bandit who claimed to have an army of 300,000 thieves and ravaged nine counties, just disappeared like this?"

Qingqi replied: "General, according to Wang Xiaowei's report, the actual number of bandits is less than 30,000. Moreover, twenty-three out of ten thieves froze to death on the way to attack, and countless others suffered from frostbite. Moreover, the thieves had no food to eat, so they fed on human corpses and carrion.

, leading to heavenly punishment, so when the heavenly troops of the imperial court arrived, the bandits were frightened and collapsed. The imperial army effortlessly drove down the bandits under Xu City, captured their heads, and captured their ambitions."

Chen Xian and Zhu Bo looked at each other, wondering whether they dared to believe what Qingqi said.

But before the two of them could finish digesting what Qingqi said, Wang Mang sent Wen Qi to deliver the detailed military report and the head of Shentu Sheng.

Looking at the detailed military report and the head of Shen Tu Sheng sent by Wang Mang, Chen Xian and Zhu Bo felt that this was a dream.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain the defeat of Shentu Sheng, who was described as a murderous demon by the Yingchuan prefect.

Shentu Sheng brought 30,000 thieves. Even if it were 30,000 pigs, it would take three days and three nights to catch them.

However, it was over in just half a day, which is simply unbelievable.

Is this because Wang Mang is like a god in his military use, or is this the Shen Tu saint having his own reasons?

However, no matter how you say it, you can end the battle within half a day and wipe out all the thieves, including the leader of the thieves. This is an incredible achievement!
