The Qianshan Mountains crisscross and Liaodong, which is the remaining vein of Changbai Mountain.

Between the mountains, a group of people climbed a peak.

It is a steep cliff with a high peak reaching into the sky. As far as the eye can see, you can see far away.

"If we go east to here, we can go north." Qinshanhu said: "This place was the territory of the Bohai State in the Song Dynasty, and after my Great Chu recovered Liaodong, it became an important town in Liaodong from a barren area, and it was originally under the jurisdiction of Dongningwei......"

He said, gesturing into the distance.

"Did Master Hou see the Great Wall? That's the side wall, and the side of the wall is the state of Korea. ”

"The Great Wall is broken, why don't Jiannu repair it?"

"Walls will be built wherever the boar skin is." Qin Shanhu scolded.

Having said that, they all know that the Jiannu army is powerful, and they have always been bullied by others and North Korea, and they have no intention of building the Great Wall at all......

Wang Xiao nodded, pointed to a small village on the other side, and asked, "Where is it?" ”

"That is a village, when I Dachu founded a school temple here, opened a tile market, and reclaimed the fields of the army. Presumably, it was originally a tile city, and after Jiannu occupied it, it became a village. ”

Wang smiled: "Is there gunpowder in the village?" ”

"I'm afraid not."

Wang Xiao thought about it slightly, and said, "Then you have to go and knock down Kuanden Fort......

"Yes, there are artillery in Kandan Fort."

Of course, Wang Xiao knew that there were artillery in this border castle, and the question was how to fight.

But he didn't have the strength to talk to Qin Shanhu, so he had to think about it.

Just thinking about it, he heard Qin Shanhu scream in his stomach.

Then, the guards behind him all had a "grunting" sound in their stomachs.

"You're all hungry, aren't you? It's rare to have a village, let's go get something to eat first......"

~~

Wang Xiao was naturally hungry.

Not only was he hungry, but he was also a little dehydrated, and after trekking for several days in a row, he was sore all over, and there were a lot of blisters on the soles of his feet, and he was in pain when he walked in the mountains.

When the soldiers are not in the army, they can rest, but he still has to arrange for people to inquire about information, adjust the route, and manage the food, drink, and Lazar of these people......

At the same time, after abandoning the horses, danger slowly enveloped him.

The speed of the range of information that can be found has shrunk, and 4,000 people are trapped in the mountains, and nothing can be found.

If there is an enemy force in front of them, they are also likely to run headlong and be killed so that they cannot find the north.

Or, even if they are surrounded, they don't know it.

If Wang Xiao is asked to describe it, it probably feels like the interface is full of war fog when playing a game, and there is no way to plug in the eyes.

But it's not a game. If you lose, you will have 4,000 lives, including yourself......

He had no choice but to let the white tiger stay in the camp while the soldiers were resting, and he took Qinshan Lake to climb the peak to observe the environment.

There are no mountain paths on these peaks, you can only climb one stone at a time, and you don't know how many openings have been drawn up and down your body.

This back and forth is for most of the day, just to take a look at the surrounding environment......

At this time, when he went down the mountain, Wang Xiao's eyelids were fighting, and he couldn't wait to fall to the ground and sleep at any time.

But he couldn't show anything, he just walked with a straight face.

After a while, Qin Shanhu leaned over and whispered, "Master Hou, will the last general carry you?" ”

"No, you don't." Wang Xiao shook his head.

After a moment of silence, he asked again, "How do you see that?" ”

"The humble general didn't see it, he guessed it, and the Hou Ye is afraid that he won't be able to hold it anymore."

"Hold on."

Qin Shanhu was still muttering to himself.

"So, I usually eat more fatty meat......

~~

When a group of people descended the mountain, it was getting dark.

The well-slept soldiers woke up, rubbed their eyes, and took up their weapons to surround the village not far away......

Smoke rose from the village, and the occasional barking of dogs was heard, and there was a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, unaware of the approaching danger.

In all directions, one by one, the boots slowly fell to the ground, cautiously, fearing that the prey would be alarmed.

The soldiers of the Chu army opened their noses, sniffing the fragrance of the rice, and their eyes were full of greedy light.

After the arrangement was completed, Wang Xiao said slowly: "It's still the same sentence, not a single living mouth is allowed." ”

"Kill!"

The sound of killing suddenly sounded......

Wang Xiao closed his eyes, felt the hunger in his stomach, and whispered to himself, "It's just right, I just finished cooking." ”

The screams in his ears were like background music he was tired of listening to, and he sat on the ground, finding that it was at this time that he could rest for a while.

Anyway, I'm tired of watching these things.

After a while, a chicken leg was handed to him by the guard.

"Master Hou, let's eat it, it's still hot."

Wang Xiao saw that the guard still had blood on his hands, but he didn't dislike it, so he took the chicken leg and took a bite.

Then another guard handed over a bowl of rice, and poured some pickles on it.

"Is there any water?"

"Yes, go and fetch well water."

"Well, by the way, let them not throw the corpse into the well......"

After the food was eaten, Wang Xiao felt a lot better.

Amid the screams around him, he suddenly heard someone shouting something in Chinese. Variety Literature

"The king has a punishment but no war, the city is not attacked, the soldiers are not attacked, the top and bottom are happy, they are celebrated, they do not slaughter the city, they do not sneak into the army, they do not leave the crowd, and the division does not cross the time......"

"Those who are soldiers, so it is ...... to prohibit violence and eliminate harm, and it is not to fight"

Wang Xiao frowned, got up and walked towards the village.

I'll cut you, and you'll recite the text with me?

Walking through the wreckage all over the ground, he saw a Qing man standing on the roof and shouting angrily, and several Chu soldiers were about to climb up to kill him.

The Qing man looked like he was in his forties, with a rattail on his head and a robe on his body, dressed quite gently, but he looked a little nondescript.

Wang Xiao stood there and looked up at him.

After the other party shouted a few words, he also noticed Wang Xiao, and climbed down from the roof.

Then he saw two more coats come out of the dog's hole, shouting "Mr. Elhe," as if they wanted to go up to protect him.

The Manchurian scholar named 'Erhe' was wounded, with tears on his face, and he looked embarrassed, but he still walked with his back upright, but he also looked quite graceful.

He patted the two on the shoulders and told them to hide again.

When Wang Xiao saw it, he felt a little funny.

Hide?

We watched you hide, and what was the use of hiding?

This time, I can't leave a living mouth.

Thinking like this, there was some sadness in his smile.

- Feel like a big villain......

There was already a Chu army standing under the house waiting to kill Erhe, and when he saw that he was finally willing to come down, he carried a knife and went over to cut him.

But because Wang Xiao was looking at this Jiannu with interest, they hesitated a little.

Erhe took two steps forward and said, "This general is extraordinary, he must be their leader, right?" Can you hear me a few words first...... The Manchus and the Han should not kill each other like this......"

The two coats shouted incoherently: "The military master spares his life!" Mr. Erhe is a good man, he has always treated us well, we are also Han Chinese, why do you want to kill us? Please spare our lives......"

Wang Xiao did not answer.

- Why did you kill you? Because I'm going to attack Xingjing, I don't allow the slightest rumor to leak out, not even the slightest possibility.

But he didn't say it.

In addition, there is no need for him to tell the other party: in order to kill fewer people, he specially bypassed a village from a distance yesterday.

But not today, the soldiers are too hungry today......

Erhe was still talking: "Many people in this village are innocent, and they didn't go to plunder the Chu Dynasty. They make a living by farming here and exchanging markets with the Koreans, and they are not soldiers, but ordinary people......"

Wang smiled: "Really? ”

"There are indeed a lot of coats in this village, but most of them were not looted, but ransomed by me." Elhe said: "I ransom these people not so that they will be my slaves, but in the hope that they will not be oppressed by other bannermen......"

"I have always admired the fashion of your Chu Dynasty, "Shangshu" cloud 'rather than kill innocent, rather than lose, the virtue of good life, in the hearts of the people', a reason that the wanderers of the Sai Cypriots understand, presumably the generals you come from a big country, the hometown of the sage, you should understand the benevolence and virtue of this......"

"I know that the Qing Dynasty has made several southern expeditions and committed countless evils. But countering violence with violence, when is the head? The soldiers are not stopped, how can the people be innocent? Over the years, I have been in contact with people with lofty ideals, trying to persuade the Manchurians to end the war...... I believe that one day, you and I will be able to live in harmony with our neighbors and bring peace to the four seas. ”

Erhe said, knelt on the ground, clenched his fists and said: "I also know that these are useless, I just hope that the general can spare the Manchu and Han people in this village, and take money and food at will...... If you are still angry, you can kill me alone, and you will not hesitate to do so. I only hope to relieve the hatred of the Qing people in the general's heart and the sins of the Qing army......"

At this point, Erhe looked up at Wang Xiao, his eyes were full of begging, and his face was compassionate.

The two Baoyi knelt on the ground, still begging bitterly: "Official, Mr. Erhe is a good man of the Qing Dynasty, in order to redeem us slaves, he sold his family property, broke with his own people, and moved here from Xingjing City, just to make us suffer less crimes, please spare his life......

In the distance, there were also Baoyi and Qiding shouting and running towards this side, and were cut down to the ground by the Chu army.

Screams rang out from time to time, and the compassion in Erhe's eyes grew.

The surrounding Chu soldiers carried knives, waiting for Wang Xiao's answer.

It was the first time they had seen such a Jiannu, and they felt that Hou Ye might keep him, maybe he could use it in the future.

Erhe said again: "This general, if I say that not everyone in the Qing Dynasty wants to attack Chu, the Manchurians are not all warlike, and there are good people among the children of the Eight Banners, can you believe me?" ”

"I believe in you." Wang smiled.

As he spoke, he lifted the fire hammer and aimed it at Elh's chest, and pulled off the plate.

"Bang!"

"If You Can Believe ......"

Before the words of Elh'alah's mouth were finished, the man had already fallen.

Before he died, he turned his eyes to the two coats and muttered, "Quick...... Run ......"

~~

"As I said, not a single mouth is allowed to live."

Wang Xiao put down his arm and shouted, "Don't hesitate to swing the knife!" ”

"Yes!"

One last glance at Erhe, at the other party's unblinding eyes full of pity, Wang Xiao turned around.

- I shouldn't have come into the village to see it.

I thought I had long been accustomed to the cruelty of war, but I didn't expect that war would always be more cruel in front of me.

These hands have killed warriors, killed innocents, and now even good people with compassionate hearts have to be killed......

"Because there's no right or wrong." Wang Xiao said in a low voice, "I believe you, I know that you Qing Dynasty does have many good people. However, I never killed you because I thought you were bad people...... I killed you just to keep some of our Chu Dynasty people. ”

He didn't know who he was talking to, but he just muttered it and walked out of the village with blood all over the ground.

"You say that the neighbors are harmonious and the four seas are peaceful, and I want to, but peace is not persuaded, peace is killed."

"It's not fair that a good guy like you died. But the world is inherently unfair, and there are many, many good people like you in our Chu Dynasty...... But they died by your sword before they could even speak. ”

"You were born in Manchuria, and a little favor can make Bao Yi grateful...... You can be the giver, not the benefactor—this is also the benefit brought to you by the Qing Dynasty, the benefit created by the blood and bones of my Chu people, and you should bear its obligations when you enjoy its rights. Whether you accept it or not, there is no choice! ”

"In troubled times, there is no choice."

Wang smiled and said, raised his hand and made a gun movement in the air, and said in his mouth: "Bang." ”

The false shot seemed to shatter something in the air, and his eyes became firm again.

"Give the order to go down and rest for two hours. We attacked the fort at night......"
