"Okay, I'll send a team of elite soldiers to escort you, the neighborhood is not peaceful these days, there are robbers everywhere, and stragglers, it's very chaotic, plus Lao Ye, you have now resigned from your official position, there may be some trouble. ”

"Okay, thank you. Ye Shikai said, Shangguan Jian directly transferred his two thousand guards to Ye Shikai's command, but he did not leave immediately, but let the troops stay and rest for a day, as for Ye Shikai himself, he had other things to do.

Back Mountain.

"Here...... It's the position of the pit to kill the Qin army. Ye Shikai stood on the top of the mountain, looking down, the valley below has been filled with mud, and there are several large pits of tens of meters nearby, those are all "mass graves", originally covered with vegetation, in order to kill the Qin army, Mi Wen ordered 30,000 soldiers to dig a deep pit overnight, and then put soil to kill the prisoners of war, you can imagine how desperate those people were at that time, at this moment, Ye Shikai could faintly hear the cry of those unjust souls......

"Yes, it's miserable, that night, the whole valley was like a purgatory, you see, general, the whole valley has been filled, how many people are buried underneath. Ye Shikai's adjutant general said on the side, the sergeants around him all lowered their heads, silent, and looked very sad, on the battlefield, they were all brave, but the pit killed so many unarmed prisoners of war, even the most senior sergeant had never seen it, watching 80,000 people being killed in the pit was a kind of psychological stimulation for anyone.

Ye Shikai walked down the valley on foot, his steps were very light, as if he was afraid of disturbing the "people" below, he found a square stone, carved a few words on it with a sword, found a hidden place, and carefully placed the stele, he couldn't let so many people stay in this "mass grave", the dead are big, although people die, they must also have a decent way to die, with this stele, this is their cemetery.

After worshipping, Ye Shikai also untied the saber around his waist and placed it in front of the stele, the saber is a symbol of the general, but Ye Shikai has already taken office, so naturally there is no need to wear it, leaving the saber here, which means that Ye Shikai will never go to the battlefield in the future.

After Ye Shikai rested in the guard camp for one night, he led the team to set off as soon as it was dawn.

A week later.

"General Ye, this place is less than fifty miles away from Linxiang City. ”

"Well, by the way, General Zhang, you are the captain of General Shangguan's guard, and now you are escorting me back, so let's go back as soon as possible. "Shangguan Jian asked his guards to escort him personally, in fact, Ye Shikai has persuaded General Zhang many times along the way to let him return, at most he met some bandits on the way, Ye Shikai's personal guards and secret guards are enough to settle down, why use two thousand people to escort.

"Before leaving, General Shangguan has an order, ordering that after escorting General Ye back to Linxiang City, he will guard around the mansion to ensure your safety, and please don't embarrass General Ye. ”

"Well, in that case, let's get ready to go into the city. Ye Shikai knew that Shangguan Jian had good intentions, so he no longer refused.

Two or three thousand people entered the city, naturally attracted the attention of the people, this time to attack Bashu, Mi Wen almost used Chu so can mobilize the troops, in Linxiang City also recruited tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the troops just entered the city a few miles, and was "surrounded" by the people who poured nearby.

"I know the man on horseback, he is the commander of the Chu army, I heard that his surname is Ye, he was the one who defeated the Qin army in Nanyang last year. ”

"yes, he's seen it too. ”

"A few days ago, there was good news, saying that we had won a big victory in the area of returning home, and we would be able to capture Bashu in a few days. ”

"Class teacher, no, there are only two or three thousand people, how can it be possible to come back with such a few people. "The people below talked a lot, and when they saw that there were few people coming back, they thought that there was not one out of ten troops on the expedition, and many people were worried that their families would not be able to come back.

"Ahem, please be quiet, everybody. Seeing this, Ye Shikai hurriedly got off the horse, walked into the crowd, and shouted loudly.

"You don't have to worry, our army has won a complete victory in Bashu, and the army will be able to return to the city in a few days, I will be ordered by the lord to return to the city with the guards first, you don't have to worry, your family will be back soon." Ye Shikai shouted, and when the people heard it, they cheered, they were happy not because of the great victory of the Chu army, but because their families could finally come back......

The news of the victory spread all over the city, hundreds of thousands of people in the city, the lights were colorful, and it was as lively as if it was the New Year, whether it was the people in the city, or the big and small officials, they did not know that Ye Shikai had resigned, and when they heard that the Chu army had won the battle on the front line, they were about to return to the city, and they came to congratulate him, the "commander-in-chief" who had resigned.

Yefu.

Ye Shikai's sudden arrival once again made the mansion "boiling", He Linghan was also quite excited, she never imagined that Ye Shikai would come back in advance this time, according to her expectations, Ye Shikai, as the commander, must wait until the stable Bashu will come back, and it will take at least two months, of course, in front of everyone, He Linghan naturally still has to remain reserved.

At night.

"Husband, why did you come back so quickly this time. In the room, He Linghan asked curiously.

"Ling'er, this matter is a bit complicated, I didn't want to tell you about it, but we are husband and wife, this matter is ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it from you. Ye Shikai smiled bitterly, he wanted to perfunctory the past at will, but after hesitating again and again, he still didn't plan to hide it, first, he could be said to have parted ways with Mi Wen this time, and he didn't get Mi Wen's "consent" to resign, and secondly, with He Linghan's ice and snow smartness, if he was perfunctory at will, I am afraid he would not be able to hide it from her.

"Husband, what the hell is going on, why is your face so ugly. Seeing this, He Linghan immediately asked.

"Ahem, I had a quarrel with my lord, and it was a big quarrel, so to speak, we have parted ways. Ye Shikai's words were amazing, and He Linghan's face turned three points white all of a sudden.

"What. ”

"This time I resigned and came back, and the position of commander has been given to Huo Ziqing. ”

"Husband, how can this be. He Linghan was a little anxious, she was very happy when Ye Shikai went home today, but when she heard this, she was worried all of a sudden.

Ye Shikai told her what happened, when it came to killing the 80,000 prisoners of war, Ye Shikai tried his best to use "understatement", a word, but He Linghan was still shocked and pale, where had she ever seen such a cruel scene, killing 80,000 people, just thinking about it, there was a picture in his mind, Ye Shikai hurriedly hugged her into his arms.
