Yang Fan was a little confused!
Should we just let these big soldiers go into the city like bandits, burn, kill and loot?
Besides, most of Tubo will also be part of China in later generations. This is an emotion that cannot be let go.
What's more, the people are innocent, and the initiators of everything are just the superior slave owners who attacked the Tang Dynasty out of their own selfish desires.
If the Tibetan people were burned, killed, and looted, wouldn't they be targeting the wrong people?
Thinking of this, Yang Fan's eyes gradually became firm.
It's just that I haven't encountered it. Now that I have encountered it, I can't ignore it.
So Yang Fan's face became solemn, he stared at Hou Junji and said seriously: "Please take back your order, commander-in-chief, and let the army be stationed outside the city. Don't disturb the people in the city."
Seeing Yang Fan denying himself face again and again, Hou Junji glared at Yang Fan with evil eyes.
Although he didn't speak, the look of him gritting his teeth in the back seat showed his inner dissatisfaction. He wanted to kill Yang Fan with a knife.
You must know that as the commander-in-chief of the first army, he has always said the right thing in the army. How has he ever been deprived of face like this?
The military order has been issued, and all the soldiers are screaming and preparing to rush into the city. If he were to take back his life now, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
This kid was so lawless that he didn't take the coach seriously at all. Hou Junji saw a cold light flash in his eyes and said coldly:
"Marquis Zhongyi, I advise you not to think that you can be arrogant just because you have won two battles. Do you really think that I dare not deal with you?"
"In the army, every word and action of my commander is a military order. If you dare to stop me again, believe it or not, I will kill you right now, and I will also punish you for disobeying military orders."
Yang Fan looked at Hou Junji without fear and argued: "Since Luoxue City has surrendered, the people in the city naturally belong to the Tang Dynasty. We should treat them equally. The commander's military order is obviously to condone the soldiers." It’s absolutely ridiculous to sack the city;”
"The general would like to ask the commander, is there any article in the military regulations of the Tang Dynasty that allows soldiers to rob civilians?"
"If there is, the general will definitely not stop you. If not, I will definitely take part in your crime of disregarding military discipline and committing plunder."
Hou Junji almost burst out of his lungs, breathing heavily from both nostrils.
Of course, the military regulations of the Tang Dynasty did not allow soldiers to rob the people, but this was a default rule.
But this kid actually used the emperor to suppress him. Well, Hou Junji admitted that he was indeed afraid of His Majesty Li Er...
But I, the great coach, will not be afraid of you, a boy with no hair. Do you believe that I will kill you right now?
Hou Junji's pupils shrank slightly, and he kept thinking about the consequences if Yang Fan was killed.
Seeing Hou Junji's expression, Duan Zan on the side almost jumped with joy.
As the captain of Zuo Wei, he certainly understood Hou Junji's temperament.
This commander is a narrow-minded person, and anyone who offends him will not end well.
Yang Fan, a fool, dared to stop Hou Junji. He simply didn't know how to write the word "death".
However, this ruthless boy is really good at persuading people. Didn't Zarfurenli and other court officials who had just died in silence also surrender? It’s not like I’ll kill you, it’s a perfect double standard!
Now Marshal Hou is just looking for some benefits for the soldiers, so what does this mean?
However, Duan Zan did not dare to interrupt, and could only secretly encourage Hou Junji in his heart - Marshal Hou, be tough and kill this kid quickly!
Due to nervousness, Duan Zan's hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and even his palms were slightly sweaty without even realizing it.
Being stared at by Hou Junji's vicious eyes, Yang Fan felt as if he was facing a poisonous snake that could attack at any time, and his whole body tensed up involuntarily.
He was shocked in his heart, could Hou Junji really dare to do something to him?
Only then did Yang Fan realize that Hou Junji was even more powerful than him.
If Hou Junji was so angry that he might actually order soldiers to enter the city to plunder, or even have the soldiers attack him.
If a large-scale conflict breaks out, wouldn't it give the remaining Tibetan forces a chance to counterattack?
Yang Fan felt like his back was soaked with cold sweat!
This Hou Junji is indeed sinister and ruthless, without caring about the consequences.
Yang Fan was sure that Hou Junji really wanted to kill him...
Of course, Yang Fan was not afraid that Hou Junji wanted to kill him, but was worried that if a conflict occurred, the enemy would benefit.
If Hou Junji led his troops to break through, should he order Zuoying to intercept them?
Yang Fan hesitated!
This is not a matter of personal gain or loss, but a major event of the entire war situation, and Yang Fan cannot help but be cautious.
But if the soldiers were allowed to burn, kill and loot indiscriminately, then wouldn't it appear that his actions of killing Zarfurili and others were a useless effort and violated his own inner principles.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "All the soldiers of Zuoying listened to the order and guarded the city gate. No one can enter without the general's order. Anyone who dares to forcefully break in will be killed."
"promise!"
Zhai Changsun on the tower led a group of Zuoying soldiers and loudly agreed.
Yang Fan turned his head and said righteously to Hou Junji: "Commander, please take back your life. If not, you can only step over my body."
Hou Junji was going crazy!
Yang Fan actually brought the entire Supervision and Operations Department into conflict with him?
It is easy to kill Yang Fan, just give an order and send tens of thousands of troops to crush him into powder.
After all, no matter how brave this kid is, he can't withstand the charge of tens of thousands of troops.
But that doesn't work now. This guy has roped in the Supervisory Operations Department. He can't kill them all, right?
The most important thing is that because of the strong fighting power of these people, Hou Junji is not sure that they can be completely eliminated.
Besides, it’s definitely not okay to let your own troops attack the soldiers of Tang Dynasty!
If he really dared to do that, even ten thousand heads would not be enough for His Majesty Li Er to chop him off.
Hou Junji stared at Yang Fan fiercely, feeling in a dilemma for a while.
Looking at Yang Fan who was fighting each other like a bullfight, Liu Lan couldn't laugh or cry, so she had to persuade:
"Marquis Zhongyi, since Luoxue City has surrendered, there must be a lot of things to deal with. As the commander-in-chief of an army, it is inevitable for the commander-in-chief to enter the city. Moreover, the defense of Luoxue City should be left to the commander-in-chief to make detailed arrangements." In his opinion, Yang Fan's move was a bit excessive. After all, it is taboo to openly disobey military orders in the army.
Even if Hou Junji made a mistake in plundering, the consequences would be borne by Hou Junji himself, and it was not Yang Fan's turn to stop him.
In fact, it’s not surprising that Liu Lan thinks so. This is a disagreement caused by different world views and insights.
From another perspective, Liu Lan's idea is actually more in line with the view of this era that subordinates absolutely obey their superiors.
Of course, Yang Fan also knew what Liu Lan meant, and also knew that this matter should not make too much of a fuss. Disobedience to military orders was unforgivable, both in ancient times and in later generations.
It's just that Yang Fan can't pass his own psychological barrier.
Alas, no matter how powerful one person is, given the limitations of the times, how can it be so easy to make everyone change at once?
Yang Fan sighed secretly, and it seemed that he could only settle for the next best thing, so he said: "As long as the commander promises not to let the soldiers loot randomly, the general will let him go immediately."
Seeing that there was a step down, Hou Junji certainly stopped pretending. After all, no matter how courageous he was now, he would not dare to let the soldiers attack the city.
After giving Yang Fan a cold look, Hou Junji turned to the ordering soldier and shouted: "I am ordering the army to not disturb the people after entering the city..."
With that said, Hou Junji walked towards the city gate without looking back, his attitude was extremely perfunctory.
Yang Fan felt helpless and waved to Zhai Changsun, hoping that Hou Junji would keep his promise.
Looking at the army rushing to enter the city, Yang Fan sighed helplessly. If it was just for defense, why did so many soldiers need to go in?
Since there is no way to stop it, I just hope that these soldiers can discipline themselves and not be insulted by some of them who commit crimes and violate the law. The reputation of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to win over the people of Tubo in the future.
The most important impact will be on future battles.
If the Tang army dared to burn, kill, loot, and commit crimes, the resistance they would face in future campaigns would increase exponentially.
After all, who is not afraid of being misbehaved after the Tang army captures the city?
Even though Hou Junji had given the order, it was so perfunctory that Yang Fan was still worried, so he ordered to Su Dingfang:
"The officers of the Guards listened to the order and handed over the prisoners to the custody of the Chinese army. You all go into the city together. The commander has given orders not to disturb the people. If anyone takes advantage of the situation and disobeys the military orders, no matter who they are, they will all be arrested by the general. If If you dare to resist, you will be killed on the spot."
"Promise!" More than 400 Guardsmen promised loudly, startling the soldiers who were preparing to enter the city.
Hou Junji, who was taking the lead, naturally heard Yang Fan's words clearly, and secretly resented them in his heart. This boy was obviously reminding him.
It depends on how long you kid can continue. As long as you take over the defense of Luoche City, it's not up to you to say what you want to do.
Hou Junji did not intend to strictly implement what he said just now.
In his opinion, if a soldier has no benefit at all, no one will be willing to fight for him in the future. Anyway, he will just turn a blind eye and pass.
If Yang Fan really dares to touch his people, he will have to kill this kid no matter how hard he tries...
