Bao Hou smiled and said: "I really opened my eyes today. I didn't expect that such a method of warfare existed in the world. Not one of the eight thousand demon thieves escaped, but not one of them surrendered. You are really stubborn. We also suffered more than a thousand casualties." Man, now the enemy has retreated, Liu Shenjun, look..."
Liu Yu's eyes were gleaming: "Mr. Bao, this is the matter now. I'll leave the rest to you. I have to go to Hudu Base right away. That's where the decisive battle will take place!"
Bao Sizhi's voice sounded angrily from down the tower: "Liu Yu, you want to abandon me? No way!"
The smiles on everyone's faces suddenly froze, and they all looked under the city tower. They saw Bao Sizhi with an angry look on his face, and the more than a thousand militiamen with almost the same expression as him, coming from the street on the other side of the city gate. , entered the city continuously, and Bao Si took the lead and galloped to the foot of the west gate tower. As he spoke, he had already dismounted and entered the city.
Liu Yu calmly looked at Bao Sizhi, who was sprinting up to the tower at a speed of 100 meters, and said, "Master Bao, thank you for your hard work."
When Bao Sizhi saw Bao Sizhi's expression, he stepped forward to block him and said in a deep voice: "Sizhi, what are you going to do? Don't be rude!"
Bao Sizhi stopped and said in a deep voice: "First of all, I would like to congratulate Liu for joining the army. Sure enough, he won this battle. You did not break your promise. You saved the people of Haiyan and did not let them encounter the vicious hands of the demon thieves. In this regard, On behalf of the people of Haiyan, I would like to thank you!"
As he spoke, he suddenly knelt down on one knee and saluted Liu Yu with a cupped fist.
No one expected that Master Bao, who was usually overly arrogant and disobedient to anyone, would act like this. Liu Yu smiled slightly, stepped forward to help him up, and said, "Master Bao is too modest, this book This is our responsibility, get up quickly..."
Before he could say the word "Qi", his expression changed. Because of this support, Bao Sizhi remained motionless and actually used the Thousand Jin Falling Movement. He only heard Bao Sizhi say in a deep voice: "Liu Canjun, wait a minute." , I haven’t finished speaking yet.”
Liu Yu frowned, took a step back, and said, "Please tell me if you have anything to say."
Bao Sizhi bit his lip: "Our army won a great victory and wiped out eight thousand demon thieves. In addition, in the early morning this morning, thousands of demon thieves headed north towards Hudu. Now the demon thieves have broken camp and escaped. , there are only more than 10,000 people, and there are as many as 5,000 soldiers and horses in our city. We won a great victory today. The morale of the soldiers and people in the city is high. The nearby defenders from Wuxing, Yixing, Hudu and other places can come to support. , we can take advantage of the victory to pursue and eliminate these demon thieves near Haiyan in one fell swoop. Not only will we avenge the people who died, but also the women who were insulted by the demon thieves. We can also kill Sun En, Lu Xun, and Xu Daofu. Catch all the three major thieves in one fell swoop, completely put down the Tianshi Dao rebellion that lasted for several years, and restore eternal peace to the land of Wu!"
"Liu Canjun, you have experienced hundreds of battles. It is impossible that your vision and experience are not as good as mine, a little captain of Haiyan County. But why don't you go after the demon thief? This is what I don't understand the most!"
Liu Yu shook his head: "Mr. Bao, you can't be dazzled by the small victory in front of you. This is a big taboo. As a commander, you must clearly and calmly judge the entire battle situation. If the demon thief only has this little fighting power, this is the only thing he can do." How could it be possible for the army to continue to cause chaos for many years? How could it be possible to conquer eight counties in one night? How could it be possible to kill Yanshuai, the chief general of Beifu, in one battle? Just a few days ago, he defeated three troops of our Beifu army. Even Gao Yazhi was like this. The rising star was defeated by them!"
Bao Sizhi sneered: "Does Liu Canjun want to say that Sun En sent 8,000 troops to us on purpose to seduce us like Yan Shuai? Or is it because of Yao Sheng's numbers in Juzhang before? Ten thousand men and horses were also given to Liu Canjun, with the purpose of letting you, thousands of men and horses, chase them and ambush them again?"
Bao Chou's face darkened: "Si Zhi, you have gone too far. You have no place to speak here. Why don't you leave quickly?!"
Bao Sizhi bit his lip tightly: "Your Excellency, County Magistrate, I am not standing here to speak as your son. I am speaking to you as the highest military attache in Haiyan County. I am speaking to Liu who came to help guard Haiyan." Join the army and ask for orders to fight! You can't take advantage of the opportunity to fight, and you can't violate the military spirit. The brothers who are humble subordinates are good brothers and good men who left their homes and careers when they heard about the court's orders and the country was in trouble, and came to the county to help defend. They are good brothers. In order to defend the country, we gave up our wives and children, and finally watched helplessly as our wives and children were humiliated by demon thieves outside the city. Only now do I know that Liu Canjun asked us to leave the city not as suspects, but to prevent them from seeing us with their own eyes. Seeing such a scene, lest they lose control of themselves and go out of the city to fight, ruining your plan to use Haiyan City as bait to trap and kill a large number of enemy troops, right?!"
Liu Yu looked as usual and nodded: "Yes, this is what I, as the general, must do. It is because of the ferocity of the demon thief and the fact that your subordinates have never seen such a vicious and inhumane enemy. I will let my anger be used by them to let you leave the city first. Facts have proved that I was right. I avenged your brothers. At least, I avenged part of the revenge. I will repay the countless blood debts caused by the murder of my father and the pain of losing my friends in Sanwu Land, Beifu soldiers and soldiers, and I will pay them back one by one from these demon thieves!"
Bao Sizhi laughed and said: "Yes, it's just that it's hard to say whether the person who needs to be repaid then will be killed or recruited, right, Liu Canjun."
Liu Yu's expression changed, and Tan Pingzhi on the side said coldly: "Bao County Lieutenant, if you have any opinions about Liu Canjun, you can just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush like this. They are all men who lick blood with their swords. Just say it directly." !”
Bao Sizhi gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "When Liu Canjun came to Haiyan last time, he also said that he would kill all those demon thieves who cannibalize human flesh and kill whole families to avenge the people of Sanwu and the dead soldiers. But the result Well, in less than a few months, he will be able to become brothers with those thieves leaders who have suffered heavy blood debts, Liu Canjun, I have not wronged you, right?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "Pardoning those who have threatened to follow is the imperial court's order to recruit people to peace. I am just executing the imperial court's order. This Tianshi Dao rebellion is more about the chaos of people's hearts. Use both suppression and appeasement to kill the culprits and pardon the threats." This is the way to control chaos! Lieutenant Bao, as an official of the imperial court, you should understand the imperial court’s good intentions!”
Bao Sizhi sneered: "I don't understand, and I don't want to understand. I only know that these demon thieves killed my soldiers and harmed my people. This blood debt must be repaid with blood!"
