The corner of Zhuge Changmin's mouth twitched, as if he was about to speak, but he saw Liu Yu looking at him coldly, his eyes like lightning, which made his heart suddenly sink, and he could no longer speak to refute. He only heard Liu Yu say : "When we first established the righteousness, Chang Min and you brothers failed in their uprising and fell into the hands of Diao Kui. Why didn't you commit suicide at that time? Why did you have to ask others to do what you couldn't do at that time?"
Zhuge Limin gritted his teeth: "We, we were betrayed by others. Diao Kui, the thief, was well prepared and fell into the hands of the enemy. It was not us who took the initiative to surrender to the enemy and rebel!"
Liu Yu said sternly: "Who has taken the initiative to surrender to the enemy? If you fall into the hands of the enemy, you may not even be able to commit suicide. The demon thieves have all kinds of ways to confuse people's hearts or control people. You can guarantee that you will survive without betraying them. Brother? Zhuge Limin, if I had not rescued you but implicated all of your Zhuge clan because you fell into the hands of the enemy when I founded the righteousness, do you think this is what should be done?"
Zhuge Limin's face turned red, his lips were trembling slightly, but he could not make a sound.
Liu Yu's tone softened slightly: "Of course, no matter what, Zhu Chaoshi fought on the side of the demon thief and was responsible for Wuji's death. We will find out the specific right and wrong after we take him down." , but that is for the future. What we have to do at this time is to quickly find a way to deal with the enemies in Guanggu, and then return with the army to destroy the demon thieves, instead of doing things here to make friends and hate each other! Let alone because someone surrenders to the enemy. , just kill his family members who are still in the army at will!"
Speaking of this, Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "There are more than ten thousand veterans of the Beifu Army in Jiangzhou. It is still unclear how many of these more than ten thousand brothers died in battle and how many were temporarily trapped in the enemy camp. , if the idea of killing Zhu Lingshi because of Zhu Chaoshi is revealed, will these people who are trapped in the enemy camp have no way to turn back in the future? If their family members are not killed in the future, will the Zhu family be in vain? Dead? Military regulations and laws cannot be treated equally, otherwise we will only lose our credibility. Unless it is a clear treason and surrender to the enemy, which affects bad thieves, we cannot easily set a precedent of implicating others to avoid panic. "
Zhuge Changmin said in a deep voice: "Then according to your wishes, brother Jinu, can we do away with this military law? Then simply abolish this law, wouldn't it be better?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "Regulations are dead, but people are alive. In order to prevent soldiers from directly defecting to the enemy, there are such regulations, but this time it is different. Our army was defeated and the entire Jiangzhou fell. Tens of thousands of soldiers or If they are dead or captured, then using this implicating method at this time will not only not help the situation, but will also cut off the way back for those soldiers who are trapped among the thieves. It must not be done."
"Moreover, the enemy is now arrogant and our army is outnumbered. We don't know how the battle is going in Jingzhou, and we don't know whether it will be lost. If we continue to kill, it will only accelerate the collapse of the morale of the army. We can only capture Guanggu and destroy Nanyan. Then return to the army as quickly as possible, merge with Liu Xile, and defeat the demon thieves to resolve the crisis in the country. Speaking of national laws and military regulations, when we defeated Sun En, we captured more than 100,000 demon thieves who were rebellious and rebellious. If we had followed the national law, we would have killed them all long ago, but have we done that?"
Zhuge Limin said bitterly: "Brother Jinu, you are too soft-hearted and did not kill all these old thieves. You spared their lives. This gave Lu Xun a chance to breathe!"
Liu Yu shook his head: "What a mistake! Lu Xunxu Daofu finally escaped into the sea, not with these old troops who defeated the prisoners for us in Jiangbei, but with the people who had followed them since the Battle of Yuzhou. If we If we kill these prisoners, their families and tribesmen will definitely hate us to the core and will not dare to surrender again. Then Lu Xun and Xu Daofan will be able to take away more people, and even trigger a second rebellion in the land of Sanwu. According to your statement, does it mean that all those who have surrendered to the law, including the Shen brothers, must be killed in order to enforce the national law?!"
Shen Tianzi glared at Zhuge Changmin fiercely and said in a deep voice: "If we are left with no other way out, the rabbit will bite if it gets anxious. It's worth every effort. You can try it!"
Zhuge Limin rolled his eyes: "I didn't say I wanted to kill you, I meant those prisoners in Jiangbei."
Shen Tianzi gritted his teeth: "It's just a matter of surrendering early or surrendering late, and among the prisoners in Jiangbei are many of our clansmen, Buqu, if you want to be implicated, we will also die, right?" "
Zhuge Limin had nothing to say, so he simply turned his head to one side and sneered in silence.
Shen Tianzi gave Liu Yu a military salute: "Brother Jinu, I was wrong. Just now we were excited and didn't know right from wrong. Listening to what you said, it really is the truth. If you kill the big stone, this situation will happen in the future. It is difficult to deal with, and it may even speed up the surrender of soldiers who have relatives trapped in the enemy's territory. This must not be done. We have been fighting Guanggu City for more than half a year, and we still can't take it for a long time. It's because the agencies defending the city are too annoying. , Fortunately, hehe, when Zhang Gang returned to Nanyan, we captured him. For more than a month, he has been making these wooden armor mechanisms. The so-called bell tying person needs to be able to untie the bell. To break through this city defense mechanism , we have to rely on Zhang Gang."
Wang Zhene also laughed: "Tian Zi is right. God really blessed our army and was able to intercept this outline. But it's a pity that Han Fan still sent the city. I heard that the Hou Qin Dynasty has also obtained it." After receiving Yao Xing’s interview, Marshal, Qin will not really send troops to save Yan."
Xiang Jing spat into his hand, rubbed his big hands fiercely, and said loudly: "I'm not afraid of him coming, I'm afraid he won't come. Hou Qin is the one who messed up my rear and started the war this time. It's just right. If we take the opportunity to deal with him together, maybe we can break the siege of Jingzhou."
Liu Yu smiled and looked at a military general in his forties standing at the end of the team, and said: "Prefect Shen, this is a great achievement of yours. I will never forget it."
This person is none other than Shen Xuan, the former Taishan Governor of Nanyan. The Shen family is considered a powerful Han family in Shandong. They have served as officials here for generations. Shen Xuan also surrendered in time when the Jin army reached Guanggu. He also captured Zhang Gang, who had returned home, and handed it over to Liu Yu, which was regarded as a great gift. Hearing this, he quickly saluted and said: "This is a matter of humble duty and is not worth mentioning. Zhang Gang has already used the siege equipment." After the production is completed, tomorrow, you can go into the siege battle!"
A cold and stern look flashed in Liu Yu's eyes, and he stood up: "Very good, everyone has been fighting very hard in the past six months. Although they repelled the enemy's five counterattacks out of the city, they did not capture Guanggu." , but more than 20,000 soldiers died on the battlefield. Tomorrow is the time for us to take revenge, and I will personally command this battle!"
