Chapter 392: Laughs
Rats leave a sinking ship. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In just a few days, Yuzhou has been attacked and several forts have been attacked, and some small states that were not willing to cooperate with Yuzhou in the first place, seeing the current situation, naturally no longer took action, but chose to remain neutral.
The Yangzhou army is like a bamboo, invincible on the frontal battlefield, on the other hand, the Yuzhou team, morale is low, once they fight, they will flee in a hurry, there is no meaning to fight.
The defeat is like a mountain, the current Yuzhou, in fact, is the epitome of the defeat of Yangzhou, after many years, the situation of these two large states has been completely reversed, when Yuzhou dominated the world, I am afraid that no one would have thought that there would be such a day today.
Jizhou's troops landed from Yizhou by boat from the west bank of Yuzhou to fight, and after going ashore, they quickly advanced toward Chang'an City, the center of Yuzhou.
After experiencing the war personally, I can understand how cruel the war is, after the first battle in Beiliangshan, Xiao Bai temporarily changed a lot of ideas and promulgated a lot of regulations.
First of all, once the city is attacked, the people in the city must not be slaughtered and looted.
The second is the issue of dealing with prisoners of war, it is inevitable that there will be prisoners of war in the war, and the number of these prisoners of war is not a minority, how to solve the problem of their whereabouts and stays is a very important matter.
Xiao Bai actually understands that the best way is to kill directly, so as to prevent future troubles, and also save a lot of trouble, if there are prisoners of war, the prisoners of war will not only consume a lot of food, but also are prone to riots, the most trouble-free way is to kill a clean, which will solve a lot of problems.
It's just that Xiao Bai didn't do that after all, he changed Xiao Fan's predetermined plan, Yuzhou has 300,000 troops, it's too much, if you kill, 300,000 people will lose their lives, Xiao Bai is not a murderous demon, he doesn't like to kill, all he wants to do is to let the world return to peace as soon as possible.
Yangzhou took the lead in launching the war, which was not Xiao Bai's original intention, the war was only temporary, and peace was long-lasting.
Xiao Bai promulgated a very important decree, that is, the policy of treating prisoners of war well, and I have to say that in fact, such a seemingly weak policy is actually the most ruthless means.
The morale of the Yuzhou soldiers is not very high, they are not stupid, they know that the current situation is difficult to recover, Beiliangshan is lost, Yuzhou has nothing to defend, and the Jizhou army has landed on the west bank again, the war has been carried out to this extent, does the victory or defeat still need to be explained?
After the policy of treating prisoners of war well came out, the morale of the soldiers in Yuzhou instantly collapsed, and even many soldiers directly chose to defect, and they died on the battlefield, but they could escape death if they became prisoners of war.
It's true that this place is their homeland, but when someone puts a sword on your neck and asks you if you want your home or your life, there are really very few people who really have the courage and can uphold righteousness.
Most people, they are ordinary people, they live in this world, and they don't have too many luxuries, especially after the war, for them, as long as they can live safely and have something to eat, this is enough.
In fact, the backbone of a nation is very small, and loyalty is sometimes as valuable as a thousand gold, and sometimes it is worthless.
After attacking several forts in a row, Xiao Bai no longer let the army continue to advance, he wanted to end the war in another and faster way.
The Jizhou army had already pressed the line to the outside of Chang'an City, and when Xiao Bai appeared in the Jizhou army, everyone was suddenly shocked, Gu Changan listened to Xiao Bai's explanation, and finally agreed to his plan.
Although Yuzhou lost a lot of troops in front, in the last period of time, Chen Sheng frantically hoarded troops, and tens of thousands of troops in Chang'an City were clearly going to make a final fight to the death with Yangzhou and Jizhou.
Since the battle of Beiliangshan, Yangzhou has occupied the advantage, but this advantage is very weak, during this period of time Yangzhou has also consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, and the number of soldiers has dropped significantly, Xiao Bai does not want to let this Chang'an City bleed, he wants to end the war with a faster means.
In fact, Xiao Bai knew very well what kind of mentality the Yuzhou soldiers were now, they were like frightened birds, trembling and extremely afraid.
It's just that Chen Sheng is afraid that he has already given a death order, and once he has any intention of defecting, he will be killed immediately, so these armor soldiers dare not escape, so they can only stay in their positions.
The Yuzhou soldiers did not have the desire to fight, what they wanted to do most now was to find a way to live for themselves, as long as they were given hope to live, they would immediately choose to surrender.
The last straw that crushed the huge camel in Yuzhou was Chen Sheng.
When he saw Gu Changan again, Xiao Bai wiped his face, looking at his eternal paralyzed face, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
When they were young, they passed too quickly, who would have thought that the two of them would come to this point?
Gu Changan still has a very cold temperament, even if he hasn't seen Xiao Bai for so long, his attitude towards him has not become any better because of this.
At this time, the defeat of Yuzhou was decided, and they needed to consider more things now, the most important thing was how to deal with Yuzhou after the end of the war.
Yuzhou has a population of several million, and it is necessary to come up with a proper solution.
Outside Chang'an City, two men stood side by side, quietly looking at the city in front of them.
"Do you really want it?" Gu Changan asked coldly, "This place is what you deserve, it's all in such a situation, do you have to give it away?" ”
Xiao Bai pulled his sleeves and said, "Otherwise? There was a mistake just now, this place is not what I deserve, it is what he deserves, in the end, we are still ashamed of him. ”
Gu Changan shook his head and disagreed.
"After that, will you go back and be the head of your Sword Mansion?"
"Yuzhou is destroyed, my wish will be fulfilled, those things outside the body you know are not what I wanted, I will return the position to Qiu Renxia when I go back, and then go back to Qiuhan Villa, I still like that piece of reeds."
Xiao Bai suddenly turned his head and looked at Gu Changan with some surprise.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Bai stared at Gu Changan and asked in disbelief, "When did you talk so much?" ”
The corners of Gu Changan's mouth hooked slightly, and he said coldly: "Haven't I seen you for a long time, and I have been saving all my words." ”
Xiao Bai smacked his lips, not believing what Gu Changan said at all, how could Xiao Bai not understand what kind of temperament he had.
But when he looked back and took a closer look, Xiao Bai had to widen his eyes.
"Oh my God, so this facial paralysis can still laugh?"
