Chapter 205: The Prosperous Peace

Is it wrong for Shen Shijun to do this?

He took refuge in the Xiongnu and took advantage of the Xiongnu's ambitions to kill tens of thousands of Northern Jin Dynasty soldiers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info However, if he hadn't contained the Northern Jin Dynasty, Chu Yang would continue to wave his troops south, go straight to Xianyang, and kill tens of thousands of Southern Hunan soldiers.

Liu Han was angry, and Ji Bu was also angry.

Many people are like this, and when they hurt others, they will always choose to ignore their own crimes. But when others retaliate, they think that the other party has committed an unforgivable sin.

War is inherently full of evil. Southern Hunan and Northern Jin did not belong to wars of aggression, but two resistance teams that broke out at the same time under the tyranny of Dali.

The only difference is that one is an uprising led by peasants and the other is an uprising led by a gate valve.

Everyone thinks that they are orthodox, everyone wants to occupy the entire border of Dali, and everyone wants to be able to unify the country. Therefore, between the Southern Hunan and the Northern Jin Dynasty, there is only a difference in position, and there is no distinction between good and evil.

Right or wrong, it's just a matter of angle.

At the beginning of the uprising, Chu Yang had no time to look south in the north, and Han Xiu was not enough to develop to the north, so the two naturally got along well, and they could even join forces with each other to resist the suppression of the Dali army. But when the two develop, conflict is inevitable.

Nanxiang grabbed the territory of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and the Northern Jin Dynasty also attacked Nanxiang. If Chu Yang hadn't been pinned down by the Great Rite army, he might have killed Han Xiu's rabble a long time ago.

Later, Nanxiang burned the grain and grass of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and the Northern Jin Dynasty counterattacked and killed Han Xiu. The Northern Jin Dynasty captured Shi Jiao'e, killed Shi Jiao'e's younger brother, and also killed many of Shen Shijun's brothers. Now, in order to protect his righteous brother and avenge his dead brother, Shen Shijun used the Xiongnu to fight back.

There is no such thing as good and evil, there is just a causal cycle of retribution.

The Northern Jin Dynasty only saw that they had been slaughtered by 5,000 soldiers, but they attacked the city of Nanxiang before, so why not slaughter 5,000 soldiers? There are even innocent people!

Life, indeed, is very precious. However, the closer we are to life, the more precious it is, and the more painful and angry we feel when we lose it. And a strange life is just a string of numbers, which is worthless except for a sigh of emotion.

Cruel and cold reality.

Shi Jiao'e sat back in her chair and looked up at the sky without saying a word. It is indeed a very unfortunate thing to be born in an era of war. What's more, she wasn't born in troubled times.

When she was young, the Shi family was still the first nobleman who had gone through two dynasties for several generations, had a deep family foundation, and was second to none. At that time, the world was still under the rule of Da Li, and it was still enjoying the last prosperity.

It can be said that before the age of eighteen, she was always the eldest daughter of the family, and she was the proud daughter of the sky who was perfect in food, clothing, housing and transportation. Then, the second prince of Dali usurped the throne, and the Gaomen clan was forced to move south, coupled with the continuous famine, resulting in no harvest in the Central Plains, and the displaced people continued to flee to the south.

The heavy taxation and the suffering of forced labor and rent hastened the arrival of the riots.

This chaos is nearly ten years.

How many innocent people have died in ten years of war? How many soldiers were forced to join the army, were pulled by a certain force, had to fight on the battlefield, and hated war in their hearts?

Shi Jiao'e didn't know, but she knew that the war had destroyed countless families.

The war changed her life, from a woman with a husband and children, to a personal battlefield, to being captured, and being taken hostage. She has seen too much misery, she has seen too much grief, she hates war so much, but she can't get rid of it.

"I hope that this world is peaceful in the prosperous world!" Shi Jiao'e let out such an emotion for the first time, and after finishing speaking, she pulled the corners of her mouth self-deprecatingly.

The prosperity of the world is too peaceful, how many Ming Jun can't do it!

How could she, a woman who was taken hostage, change the pattern of the world?

……

At the border pass, the land was stained black and red with blood.

Chu Yang stood in front of the tent with his hands behind his back, looking at the direction of the distant station in a daze. The news that Shen Shijun betrayed the Han people and took refuge with the Xiongnu should have been transmitted back to the station. Shi Jiao'e's situation will also become much more difficult because of this.

She should be able to survive until she returns, right?

A wave of irritability rose in Chu Yang's heart, and he couldn't wait to hurry back immediately to see if she was injured and if anyone was embarrassing her.

But he couldn't.

He is not only a person, the soldiers need him, and the people at the border also need him.

"King!" Liu Yi broke free from the person who grabbed him, rushed to Chu Yang, and knelt down with a puff: "King, please send me to take the lead!" I want to kill Shen Shijun with my own hands and avenge my brothers who died in vain! ”

"Do you think it was Shen Shijun who killed these people?" Chu Yang asked coldly: "Do you think Shen Shijun should be blamed for these defeats in the war?!" ”

"If it weren't for Shen Shijun's defection to the Huns, revealing the habits of our army......" Liu Yi was about to defend himself, but he raised his head to meet Chu Yang's gaze, and suddenly felt that his chest was tight, and he couldn't even say a word of explanation.

Chu Yang's eyes were not so sharp and compelling, but when facing it, it seemed that all excuses had become pale and meaningless.

"The minister knows that he is guilty! However, the culprit is Shen Shijun! The ministers do not seek to get away with their crimes, but only ask the king to send his ministers to take the lead. As long as Shen Shijun's head can be cut off, the minister is willing to come back and apologize for his crimes! Liu Yi's expression dodged for a moment, and immediately became firm again.

"So, are you convincing me, or are you convincing yourself? Do you believe this yourself? The corners of Chu Yang's mouth hooked up a mocking smile.

There are many such people in this world who never realize their own faults, and it is always others who are at fault. When you make a mistake, the first thing that comes to mind is to shirk the blame. Then, use some extreme means to cover up your own weakness.

As long as you push everything onto Shen Shijun's body, you can erase the guilt and uneasiness in your heart. Then, killing Shen Shijun with his own hands is equivalent to avenging his brothers.

In this way, he can feel at ease that although he has not done well enough, it is not a big mistake.

It was all because of Shen Shijun, it was Shen Shijun who turned his back on the Han people, defected to the Xiongnu, and revealed the habits of many generals in the Northern Jin Dynasty to the Xiongnu, which led to the defeat on the battlefield.

As long as all the crimes are thrown to Shen Shijun, it seems that he can make himself have a clear conscience.

"You are greedy for merit, you fell for the plan of the Huns, and killed many soldiers! Do you think that taking the initiative to take the lead and killing Shen Shijun will be able to offset your sins? Chu Yang glanced at him in disgust, his eyes full of coldness.
