Chapter 338: Who Should You Protect as a Soldier?
Liu Yu hooked the corners of his mouth and looked to the side, only to see more than two hundred horsemen running along the moat from the direction of the east of the city, it was the Xianbei cavalry brought by Murong Nan this time, of course, they all wore masks, or wrapped around cloth scarves, to cover their appearance, Murong Nan also wore an iron mask, after the evil face, a pair of clear eyes, the light flashed, directly stabbing Liu Yu, and beside him, there was a tall and divine horse with a russet war horse, without armor, it was the mount Leopard Pony that Liu Yu rode along the way.
Liu Yu smiled and walked to the side of the leopard horse, the horse was human, lowered his head and licked Liu Yu's palm, a crispy and numb feeling, came easily, Liu Yu stroked the horse's mane, and turned back to Xu Yuanlang at the head of the city and shouted: "Lord Xu, I don't need to bring the sergeants outside the city, my subordinates are down, and they are enough to investigate." ”
Xu Yuanlang nodded: "It's okay, then please be careful with Lord Liu, if you encounter an enemy army, don't be reluctant, come back first." ”
Liu Yu smiled and jumped on the horse, sat firmly on the horse's back, the mount neighed, stood with both hooves, and stomped on the ground heavily, stirring up a burst of smoke and dust, and causing a burst of cheers from the surrounding soldiers and civilians.
Liu Yu looked at Murong Nan and said in a low voice: "Thank you Brother Murong for helping me, if I take these soldiers from Shouchun City out of the city, I am really a little worried." ”
Murong Nan said coldly: "You are probably afraid that these people are not enough to be your brothers, and you are afraid that they will drag you down on the battlefield and not let you make contributions." ”
Liu Yu sighed: "That's not true, but if an undertrained sergeant goes to the battlefield, it is irresponsible for their lives, and I always have a way to run back, but it is difficult for them to say." ”
Murong Nan sneered: "Everyone can see that this is not a strong enemy, most of them are here to ask for surrender, if the enemy army really comes to attack on a large scale, will a smart person like you go over alone?" ”
Liu Yu smiled: "So you can see it too." ”
Murong Nan didn't say a word, rode his horse and began to move forward, and the more than two hundred horsemen behind him made various whistle sounds, which naturally formed a cavalry marching array, and dozens of horsemen began to expand far away on both sides of the team, thinking that they were flanking guards, while more than ten fast horses galloped forward, and soon opened a distance of dozens of steps with the team behind, and gradually disappeared into the end of the gallop road, and with their attack, those people who were still walking on the road naturally got out of the way and walked on both sides, and they were not as panicked as at the beginning.
Liu Yu rode slowly, while looking back at the city gate, the people who were still chaotic just now had begun to line up under the guidance of the sergeants outside the city, and entered the city in an orderly manner.
Murong Nan said coldly: "You shouldn't let them enter the city from here, if it is really an enemy horseman, then these people will become the best precursor for them to attack the city, although it is unlikely that the Qin army will attack in a big way, but as a general, you should keep a calm judgment at any time." ”
Liu Yu hooked the corners of his mouth: "Thank you for the reminder, but if the city gate is closed here and these people are allowed to walk around the city, if the enemy cavalry is really attacking, then these people will be in danger, even if I let them go, I will take people out of the city to line up outside the city to block the enemy." ”
Murong Nan shook his head: "Sometimes I really can't see through you, obviously you are a predator, how can there be so many women's kindness, in order to protect these thousands of useless old and weak women and children, you have to let hundreds of soldiers risk their lives, it's not worth it?" ”
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "In my opinion, every life is important, there is no distinction between superior and inferior, soldiers are a life, and the people are also a life, if as a soldier, you are afraid of death and do not protect your compatriots, then is it still worthy of wearing this military uniform?" Aren't our rations and salaries given by these useless people as you say? ”
Murong Nan gritted his teeth, and suddenly stopped the war horse, he stopped very quickly, almost let the people behind him bump into him, fortunately, the rider behind was superb in riding, and pulled the reins sharply, so that the war horse jumped to the side a little, so that he did not hit Murong Nan.
The rider looked surprised and was about to speak, when Murong Nan waved his hand and said in Xianbei language: "You go first, and when you encounter the enemy, you will line up and wait for us to come." ”
Liu Yu sighed, and the cavalry around him swept past him and Murong Nan like the wind, and soon, only the two of them were left behind.
The fleeing people have also disappeared into the smoke and dust in the direction of Shouchun, this is absolutely empty, on the galloping road, the two of them and two horses, looking at each other, Murong Nan said coldly: "Liu Yu, are you teaching me a lesson?" ”
Liu Yu shook his head: "No, I know that on many things, our views cannot be the same, but this does not affect that we are friends, and it is precisely because we are friends that I will say my true thoughts in front of you." ”
Murong Nan sneered: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous." Liu Yu, let me tell you, under this world, it has always been the law of the jungle, on the grassland, wolves eat sheep is the law of survival, whether it is a human or a beast, if you want to survive, you have to keep getting stronger, protect yourself, conquer others, if your heart is so soft, always want to protect those weak, it will only make you fail, understand? ”
Liu Yu Zhengse said: "I don't think so, people's abilities are high, but God allows everyone to do what they are good at." Not everyone is suitable to be a warrior, there must be someone who is engaged in farming, business, being an official, being an official, and being a warrior is to protect a country and protect other people to do what they should do. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Yu paused: "Just like we join the army, no longer farming, no longer spinning, then where do we get food and clothing?" It's these weak people you said made it, and we don't protect these people, so who will farm and weave clothes for us? ”
Murong Nan hooked the corners of his mouth, and the light in his eyes behind the iron mask flashed: "What if you don't have the ability to protect these weak people?" Liu Yu, don't always think that you are the god of war and can be invulnerable, you are still a mortal, there are still things that you can't do, if it is really the army of the Qin State that comes back, can you protect these people? The weak must have the consciousness of being weak, and when their country and the army cannot protect them, they can only be taken captive and enslaved. ”
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Maybe you Xianbei people are like this, but we Han people will not, as long as I have a breath, I will also protect the people I should protect." Murong Nan, if you don't want to, I won't force you, this is not a military order, you have completed this mission, you can leave with your brother at any time. ”
