Lan Tian looked at the wooden basin and joked: "Xiaojun put a lot of ingredients in it, right?"
Lu Lingqi placed the wooden basin at Lantian's feet, smoothed her hair beside her ears, and replied with red cheeks: "Mr. Yuanhua said that there are many acupuncture points on the soles of the feet. Soaking them with herbs may relieve fatigue. My husband has been there all day since he returned from the army. I’m tired and busy, these are the medicinal ingredients Mr. Yuanhua prepared for me, do you want to try them?”
Lantian took off his boots with a smile and supported Lu Lingqi's "innovation" with practical actions. He put his feet into the wooden basin and found that the water temperature was just right, neither cold nor hot.
"Xiaojun, you don't need to be so cautious. Mr. Hua's medication must be reasonable, but the water temperature is actually more comfortable if it is warmer." Lan Tian explained.
"Don't worry, I'll add some hot water when it gets cold." Lu Lingqi gently sat down next to Lan Tian.
Lan Tian shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Let the maids handle small things like heating water. Xiaojun will talk to me."
"Looking at your husband's expression, do you think your sister is leaving and you are a bit reluctant to leave?" Lu Lingqi asked curiously.
"Yes, but not entirely. Chengdu is in the hinterland of Yizhou. It is relatively safe there, but it is difficult to see each other in Guanshan Mountain." Lan Tian nodded.
Lu Lingqi comforted: "If my husband is really reluctant to let go, why not go with my sister? There should be no problem with the general guarding Jingzhou."
Lan Tian quickly shook his head: "According to Lieutenant Commander Kong Minglong's idea, my brother-in-law can go all the way out of Qinchuan and into Wanluo through Jingzhou in the future. Chengdu may not be my final destination. It will be more useful for me to stay in Jingzhou than to go to Shu. As long as I take precautions, Only when Jiangdong is not constrained can General Guan unleash his strongest power."
Lu Lingqi snorted coldly: "Obviously everyone's enemies are Cao thieves. The people of Jiangdong did not want to gain territory from Cao thieves. Instead, they attacked Jingzhou from behind. Sun Quan is really shameless. He is not as upright as his sister. If her husband hadn't dealt with it properly. , the consequences are disastrous, is there no one to advise me?"
Lan Tian smiled bitterly: "Human nature is selfish. Even if someone sees it, they are not willing to persuade them. Even if they are persuaded, no one may listen. It is the comparison between the two that makes General Zilong and my brother-in-law so valuable."
"Husband, there is one thing I really can't understand. Why did those generals force the palace after they won? Are they not afraid of General Liu's jealousy?" Lu Lingqi asked curiously.
Lan Tian suddenly became serious, "I'll tell you a story. Does Xiaojun still remember my uncle's enemies? Why does he especially love to massacre the city after the war?"
Lu Lingqi's face turned gloomy, "Husband, are you talking about Cao Cao's thief? Maybe it's because he is cruel by nature. There were many famous generals who massacred cities in the past..."
Lan Tian shook his head: "Even a butcher in the countryside does not necessarily like killing. In addition to filling his stomach with food, he actually wants to leave something for his family after surviving. What kind of salary can he get from joining the army in troubled times? Cao Cao's men Why did the general fight so hard? It was nothing more than waiting for a few days after the city was broken without sealing the sword..."
Although Lu Bu has a bad reputation, he has never massacred a city. Lu Lingqi did not know the reason and process of massacre, so she quickly asked: "Husband, can you tell me in detail, what does it mean to destroy a city without sealing the sword for a few days? "
Lan Tian stroked Lu Lingqi's temples and asked, "The content is very cruel. Are you sure you want to listen to it?"
Lu Lingqi nodded, "It's good to gain some experience."
Lan Tian frowned: "Let me give you an example. Suppose Xiao Gao is the youngest leader in Cao's army and is in charge of ten soldiers. After Cao Cao captured Ye City, he ordered that the sword should not be sealed for seven days. At this time, Xiao Gao still had five weapons left in his hand. Individuals survive, but not everyone has the opportunity to enter the city and plunder property.”
"Why?" Lu Lingqi asked puzzledly.
Lan Tian explained: "Because we want to prevent the people in the city from taking advantage of the chaos to escape, we must leave people to guard the city gates. Not sealing the swords has no meaning for the soldiers guarding the city gates, and who is left to guard the city is also very important." .”
"Cao thieves often massacre the city, don't they take turns?" Lu Lingqi asked again.
Lan Tian shook his head: "Every general has close relationships, so he will naturally give more opportunities to those with close relationships, while those with more distant relationships must find their own solutions. Take the example of Xiao Gao just now, if he and the officer, Qu Hou We are estranged from each other, and you need to pay bribes if you want to enter the city and rob..."
"You haven't plundered yet, but you have to give property first?" Lu Lingqi was incredulous.
Lan Tian nodded and said: "This is money to buy opportunities. If you don't spend money or spend less money, the quota will be taken by others. The few surviving brothers who follow you will also lose the opportunity to make a fortune. Who will be able to make a fortune in the future?" Will you obey your command? If you were Xiaojun and you were Xiaogao, would you be willing to spend money?"
Lu Lingqi nodded lightly, "Of course I am willing, I can still get it back anyway, but what does this have to do with the massacre of the city?"
Lan Tian showed a childish expression: "Xiao Gao was also a kind person originally. After entering the city, he led five soldiers to look for the people, threatened the people he met with weapons and stole their property. At night, he counted and found that there was not much looted property. It is not even as good as showing filial piety to officials and marquises of Qu;
So Xiao Gao became bolder the next day. He learned how other fire leaders beat and even used knives. When he counted the harvest at night, the harvest was much richer than yesterday, but other teams seemed to have robbed more, and some soldiers even brought back women.
Although Xiao Gao still sticks to his conscience on the third day, his soldiers have lost their patience. After catching a family, they kill two of them first. The survivors will be horrified and offer their belongings. This method of robbery is more efficient than the previous two days. , so the killing cannot be stopped later;
Because there are too many soldiers entering the city, the same family may be robbed several times. In fact, after two or three encounters, everything will be gone. But the looting soldiers don't know, what about the rich people who survive by chance? If you let it pass rashly, you may miss the opportunity to make a fortune, so in the end the whole family must die;
In fact, in the last two days, the soldiers who entered the city were exhausted, and there were fewer and fewer properties to collect. The people in the city were also desperate. Men were killed and women were humiliated endlessly. At this time, they were not afraid, ran away, or resisted. Becoming a two-legged lamb to be slaughtered, the whole city no longer has any vitality. This is the true sense of slaughtering the city;
I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times..."
After telling Lantian's story, the strong Lu Lingqi's eyes were wet, "It was the unsealed sword that inspired the evil in human nature. Although my father was defeated in the army, he was not as evil as Cao Cao..."
Lan Tian sighed: "The originally kind-hearted Xiao Gao was coerced by the environment. If he was lucky enough to return to his hometown alive and feed his wife and children with the property he had robbed, he would never say that he had gained it through massacre..."
Lu Lingqi rubbed her eyes: "The looted property and the country are stained with blood, and my husband helped General Liu cultivate the country with glory. The two of them compare and judge."
Lan Tian shook his head: "Xiaojun, you have praised me as a saint. Don't forget what kind of lord there is, what kind of ministers there are. Why are Yun Chang, Yide, Zilong, and Kong Ming all willing to follow me? He Your benevolence and righteousness cannot be extolled by others."
Lu Lingqi lightly hammered Lan Tian on the shoulder: "My husband is my concubine's saint. I finally understand why you are unwilling to assist my father..."
Lan Tian's eyes widened, what kind of thinking do you have? Can you get in touch with this?
