Chapter 199: The King's Order Is Not Accepted
This half-grown child was still looking at Chen Ning with clear eyes, waiting for Chen Ning's answer.
Several logistics representatives were still kneeling on the ground, their heads and foreheads against the ground, and they couldn't kneel for a long time.
Kan Jing and the Bull Demon King and Qin Yingqi and other subordinates all looked at Chen Ning in unison, in fact, Kan Jing and the Bull Demon King were more worried than these representatives who couldn't kneel for a long time, and they were more worried than the rebels in the city who begged to surrender and avoid death. They know very well the situation Chen Ning is in now, if Chen Ning disobeys the order and spares these traitors today, then tomorrow Fu Yunfei may have an excuse to attack Chen Ning.
Chen Ning looked at the half-old child, the half-old child's eyes were still clear, although he was very young, but he was very faithful, he firmly believed that Chen Ning would agree to the surrender of Yinmacheng and agree not to kill the prisoners, because Chen Ning was the hero sung by the troubadour. If there is still light in the dark empire, it must be Chen Ning.
Chen Ning originally had a trace of hesitation in his heart, but after meeting the clear eyes of this half-grown child, he finally spoke, and said in a deep and powerful voice: "Allow Yuma City to surrender, and all Black Legion soldiers must not kill prisoners of war indiscriminately." ”
Ah Diao's eyes lit up, but it seemed that as the deputy company commander, he had an extra cautiousness, and he looked at Chen Ning: "Commander Chen, you personally promise." ”
Chen Ning nodded: "I, Chen Ning, personally guarantee that as long as the traitors do not behave out of line, I will guarantee their safety." ”
"Good!"
A bright smile rippled on Ah Diao's thin and childish face, as if he trusted Chen Ning's promise very much.
The surrounding Kan Jing and the Bull Demon King finally couldn't help it, and opened their mouths in unison: "Sir, no!"
Ah Diao's smile froze, and he looked at Chen Ning suspiciously.
Kan Jing lowered his voice and said to Chen Ning: "Sir, you forgot, General Fu asked you to capture Yumachuan and leave no prisoners of war, otherwise he will punish you severely." ”
The Bull Demon King also said loudly: "Yes, big brother, we can't give Fu Yunfei a handle to grab you. ”
When Ah Diao heard the words "no prisoners of war", his little face turned pale all of a sudden, and his hands subconsciously clenched his fists.
Chen Ning looked extremely calm at this moment, he glanced at Kan Jing and the Bull Demon King and the others, and then said: "You should all know that I am the martial champion, but I don't know if you still remember when the Metropolitan Governor selected the martial champion from among the ten best candidates. The Grand Governor once asked me if his orders were wrong and would cause serious damage to the empire and the people, so should I do my duty as a soldier and carry out his orders, or should I disobey the orders in the interests of the empire and the people?"
Kan Jing, the Bull Demon King and the others all remembered the incident, but no one answered, because everyone knew what Chen Ning wanted to say, and everyone also knew Chen Ning's determination to disobey now.
Chen Ning paused and said: "I told the Metropolitan Governor at the time that my choice was to disobey the order, so now, I can't follow General Fu's order to slaughter the city, I accept the surrender of the rebels, in my opinion, even if it is to quell the rebellion, but it does not have to use such extreme means as killing them all." ”
Chen Ning turned his head to look at Ah Diao, and said lightly: "These people, when the zombie army swept through the southern provinces, they did not become outcasts and did not flee from their hometowns, but chose to stay and hold on. The Imperial army retreated, and they were forced to unite and form a rebel army to fend off the zombies. Their father was a warrior, their brother was killed in battle, their mother was killed in battle, and now it was their turn to set foot on the battlefield. These brave people, in order to defend their hometown, did not die at the hands of zombies, but they will die under my butcher's knife, and if there is a chance, I can't do it. ”
The Bull Demon King didn't understand the righteousness of the people of so many countries, he only knew that Chen Ning was his brother and his eldest brother, so he said with red eyes: "What about you, you disobeyed orders, Fu Yunfei wants to enforce military law to deal with you, what should you do, what should you do, what should I do, what should I do, what should I do, what should I do?"
Chen Ning said: "Deal with it, I will deal with it, what are you afraid of him doing? Although I disobey the order, but I have already captured the city of drinking horses, at most he will punish me a little, is it possible that he still dares to kill me for this, is he not afraid that the world's public opinion will condemn him?
Suga said: "It's true that we captured Yuma City, but what to do with these people, if they are let go, what is the use of capturing a dilapidated stronghold, the empire is to destroy the living force of the rebels." If we take tens of thousands of prisoners here, General Fu has long said that the army will have difficulty in supplying food and will not be able to support prisoners of war, and even if General Fu will not punish you severely, he will definitely not give us food to raise prisoners of war.
Chen Ning: "I can't care about the long-term, let's let these people survive the current catastrophe first!"
After Chen Ning finished speaking, he ordered Ah Diao to notify the rebels in the city and open the door to surrender.
Soon, the whole city of Drinking Horse City surrendered.
The situation in the city is even more difficult than Chen Ning imagined, there are more than 30,000 people here, more than 20,000 are old people, and more than 10,000 are children and women, there are no decent weapons, the most powerful is the earth gun, this kind of gun basically does not hit the head of the imperial soldier, and it can't kill the imperial soldier at all, because Chen Ning's soldiers are equipped with dragon scale armor.
Moreover, Yumacheng was almost out of food, so it was no wonder that they said that they would either let Chen Ning accept surrender or die in battle. In fact, if Chen Ning did not accept their surrender, most of these people were expected to starve to death soon.
Chen Ning called Liu Ruyan over: "How many days of food do you have in the army?"
Liu Ruyan: "It can maintain our army for ten days!"
Chen Ning said, "What if it's counted as these captives?"
Kan Jing said embarrassedly: "Three days, even if it is gruel for the captives, it is estimated that it will be able to last for five days." ”
Chen Ning: "Kanqing, go and ask Ah Diao to get rice, let him choose the prisoners to be the men of the prisoner camp, cook gruel and distribute it to the prisoners." ”
Kan Jing and Liu Ruyan glanced at each other, sighed at each other, and did as Chen Ning instructed.
Chen Ning also faintly heard Kan Jing and Liu Ruyan say: "Chen Ning, this guy, is too merciful, doesn't he understand the truth that he is not in charge of the army?"
However, Qin Yingqi, who was not far away, looked at Chen Ning without speaking, Qin Yingqi found that Chen Ning's image was getting taller and taller in his mind, and he finally understood why the Metropolitan Governor liked Chen Ning so much.
Chen Ning was not idle, when everyone was busy camping, taking care of prisoners of war, and burying pots to cook, Chen Ning went to the logistics department and found the old military doctor Fangzheng.
Fang Zheng was teaching Gu Xiaocheng to cultivate, and Gu Xiaocheng's eyes lit up when he saw Chen Ning: "Brother Chen Ning!"
Chen Ning smiled bitterly: "Little Cheng, you go out first, I have something to talk to Grandpa Fang." ”
Gu Xiaocheng finally had the opportunity to meet Chen Ning in private, but she didn't expect Chen Ning to rush people, she was a little unhappy, but she still went out.
In the small tent, only Chen Ning and Fang Zheng were left.
Fang Zheng glanced at Chen Ning: "Your kid's voice Grandpa Fang makes me feel like I am on pins and needles, restless!"
Chen Ning smiled: "Why do you say that?"
"Because you kid has nothing to do on weekdays, call me an old man, and if you call me grandpa, it's probably not a good thing. When Fang Zheng said this, he looked at Chen Ning's smile, and snorted coldly: "I heard that you disobeyed the commander-in-chief's order, and you can still laugh if you get into trouble." ”
Chen Ning said lightly: "So I came to ask Grandpa Fang for your help." ”
Fang Zheng's eyes widened: "You kid don't want me to help kill Fu Yunfei, right?" That guy is a tenth-level general, although he is in the early stage, but he still has two bodyguard masters of a level-10 general by his side, even if you and I go to assassinate at the same time, you may not be able to successfully kill him." And I feel that there is always an exceptionally powerful force around him, but that power has been deliberately constricting the aura, and I guess there is also an eleven-level powerhouse who is secretly protecting him. ”
Many people step into the general level, and they can't promote their strength again.
Therefore, it is also level 10, and there are also high and low strengths.
Generally, according to the traditional division, level 10 and level 11 generals will be subdivided into early, middle and late stages, usually a late level 10 generals can single-handedly take on two mid-level generals, and can tie with four early level 10 generals.
The same is true for the 11th-level generals.
Level 12 general, although it is the top, but it is not the end of cultivation, it is said that after reaching level 12, there will be thousands of miles of mountains and seas in the spiritual world, and dazzling stars will appear in the sky, the more stars, the stronger the strength.
The four generalissimos are all one-star 12-level generals, while the Grand Governor is a two-star 12-level general.
After listening to Fang Zheng's words, Chen Ning said with a smile: "Fu Yunfei's father is Fu Shuai, and it is normal for Fu Shuai to send an 11-level powerhouse to protect Fu Yunfei, otherwise Fu Yunfei will not dare to ask to recover the territory of the Eastern Front alone, without a level 11 powerhouse, we can't win the Demon Scorpion Tyrant at all." But Grandpa Fang, don't worry, I didn't plan to ask you to assassinate Fu Yunfei. ”
Fang Zheng said: "That's good, let's say, what the hell is going on?"
Chen Ning said with a smile: "My black army has disobeyed the order, even if I support the prisoners of war myself, Fu Yunfei will still take the opportunity to punish me." Therefore, I need to make meritorious service before he punishes me, so that if there is merit and demerit, and the merit and demerit will be offset, it will be difficult for him to punish me. ”
Fangzheng: "Where does the credit come from?"
Chen Ning said: "Then I want Grandpa Fang to help me." ”
After Chen Ning finished speaking, he attached something to Fang Zheng's ear, Fang Zheng was dumbfounded, and then looked at Chen Ning in disbelief: "You kid's trick is a bit damaged, I thought you were very upright, but I didn't expect it to be a bad stomach." That's it, if I don't help you, something happens to you, and my two apprentices are probably sad, so I'll help you again. ”
Fangzheng's apprentices are naturally Gu Yutong and Gu Xiaocheng sisters, Chen Ning was a little stunned, thinking: I had an accident, why are their sisters sad?
