But to Xi Zihui's surprise, after listening to his words carefully, Zhu Lihua did not change his voice of joy or anger, but still had a sinking face, just nodded slightly and motioned for him to sit down and talk in detail.

Xi Zihui had no choice but to sit in front of Lihua with a heart full of apprehension.

"Doctor Xizi's strict administration is like administering a dose of fierce medicine to a strong man who is dying, and I, Daqin, urgently need such a fierce medicine to help now, and the doctor is not only innocent but also meritorious. So Dr. Xizi doesn't need to panic.

Today, Dr. Xizi was summoned to see me alone, and I wanted to ask the doctor to come forward and help me do a tricky thing. ”

After Lihua lowered his head and finished speaking, he raised his head slightly and looked at Xi Zihui, who showed a little surprise in his eyes.

Xizihui's eyes rolled slightly, and he suddenly left the table and knelt in front of Zhu Lihua, bowed his head and said: "General, since Xizi joined the general, he has already prepared to smear the general's liver and brain, so the general will give orders when he has an order, and he must not hesitate to talk about it to his subordinates, and lose his dignity and humility." ”

Looking at Xi Zihui, who was kneeling on the ground and seemed quite sincere in his words, Lihua couldn't help but sigh and said:

"Doctor Xizi, please, the doctor's words are remembered, but this matter is very important, so I can't decide for a long time, so I want to ask Dr. Xizi to help me decide."

After Xi Zihui heard Lihua's words, he cautiously looked up at Lihua who was frowning and sighing, and when he found that what Lihua said was serious, as if he didn't mean anything else, he hugged his fists and said, "Dare to ask the general why is he worried?" ”

Zhu Lihua sighed again, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the seat opposite him, and after watching Xi Zihui sit down again, he said:

"Dare to ask Dr. Xizi, what is the crime of conniving at the soldiers to burn and kill the people?"

When Xi Zihui heard this, he immediately said: "Be punished! ”

Lu Lihua hurriedly asked, "What if you kill the people of the enemy country?" ”

Xi Zihui also said categorically: "You should also be punished!" ”

Seeing that Li Hua was a little eager to speak when he heard this, Xi Zihui frowned and clenched his fists and said: "General, as the saying goes, those who have attained the Tao help more and those who lose the Tao have little help.

As there are many disputes today, Xizi has always only heard that the victorious side is either brave and good at fighting or weak and scheming.

The second is to get the hearts of the people without a fight.

I have never heard of an army that has won by slaughtering civilians.

I want to think that the Rong people were strong and strong, but for hundreds of years, they have repeatedly hit a wall in my Great Qin, and they came violently, and their heads broke and bled away.

There is also the original god of war Zuo Daren won many battles, but because of the tragic incident of allowing the soldiers to do the massacre of the three counties, the male soldiers in the world degenerated into soldiers with no fighting spirit and suffered a crushing defeat in just half a year, which led to the martyrdom of Fang Shuai and the festering of the situation in Daqin.

I think the general naturally knows these truths, but Xizi doesn't know why the general mentioned this? ”

After Xi Zihui finished speaking, he carefully observed Zhu Lihua who lowered his head and meditated, and suddenly he found that there seemed to be a trace of imperceptible pain in Zhu Lihua's face, so he vaguely guessed the complexity of this matter, and couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart.

Because Xi Zihui suddenly felt that if this matter was done, it would be a golden opportunity for him to improve his status in the heart of Zhu Lihua. So the trickier it is, the better the reward will be.

Since following Lihua, Xi Zihui has obviously realized that although people like Gao Yunce, Liang Qingshu and others are from a poor family, they can't catch up with Lihua because of their relationship with Lihua. Even those such as Liu Jaw, Li Ji, Tang Yuan and others are on par with him in the eyes of Zhu Lihua.

This made Xi Zihui, who was born in the aristocracy, always angry, but there was nothing he could do. Therefore, if he wants to quickly improve his status, he must continue to make contributions to Lu Lihua that others can't do.

But today, Zhu Lihua chose to leave the things he himself felt tricky to do, how could this not make Xi Zihui feel excited.

Just when Xizihui wanted to get into the wrong, he only heard Lihua say softly: "In this case, Lihua wants to ask Dr. Xizi to handle the case and kill someone again!" ”

When Xi Zihui heard this, she was suddenly a little stunned.

Handling? Homicide?

Isn't that something very common? Why would Lihua give it to himself? But when he thought about it, it was naturally unusual for a case that could make Lu Lihua feel that it was tricky.

Therefore, Xi Zihui hurriedly got up and said respectfully: "I obey the general's orders, but I don't know what the case is, and who are you going to kill?" ”

After finishing speaking, he waited for a long time, and then he heard Lihua say slowly: "What Doctor Xizi wants to do is to connive at the case of his soldiers killing people without permission.

As for who to kill, everyone in this Yellow Yin City is suspicious. ”

"Ahh

Xi Zihui was suddenly shocked when he heard this, he screamed and hurriedly looked up at the expressionless Zhu Lihua, and then heard Zhu Lihua say:

"Gao Yunce, Liang Qingshu, An Moran, Wei Huan, Wei Mu, Li Ji, Tang Yuan, Liu Jaw, Niu Yong, Huang Yunhe, Xin Tong'er, all the generals in Huangyin City are suspected, no matter whose soldiers kill the people, then as the main general, he deserves to die!

Today, when General Ben led a large army to pass forty miles away from Huangyin, he found that a family of six, old and young, women and children had been tortured and killed......"

……

In the hall in Huangyin City, which was originally the county government, Zhu Lihua looked around at the generals sitting in the hall.

Except for Wei Huan, most of these generals were his brothers who had followed him since he was guarding Yuxiao Pass.

At this moment, after listening to everyone carefully report to him one by one about their efforts in their respective garrison areas and the movements of the Rong army, although Zhu Lihua's face was still cold, his heart was surging like a vast ocean.

He was not in a hurry to listen to Gao Yunce's report on the movements of the Rong army outside Huangyin City, but fell into contemplation as he looked at his strange expressions after everyone finished reporting.

He was silent, but his eyes were fixed on every familiar face in the room, as if he was afraid that he would never see them again.

At this time, he was waiting for the arrival of a person, and when this person came to the hall, perhaps several of the sitting generals would fall to the ground, and they would no longer be able to follow him in the north and south.

"Pedal pedal pedal blah."

With the sound of hurried footsteps, Yu Lihua suddenly raised his head, and a trace of pain suddenly appeared in his eyes, but this trace of pain was fleeting, and then a slightly angry look came to his face.

"General!"

Xi Zihui, who entered the hall, immediately saluted Lihua when he saw his own master general.

Zhu Lihua waved his hand lightly, signaling that Xi Zihui did not need to be polite, and then saw Xi Zihui salute the generals in the hall again, and then said to Zhu Lihua:

"General, the humble position has been investigated, since General Gao ordered the city to be cleared half a month ago, only 30,000 young people have been left in the city, and the rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled have been escorted east to Hancheng and Shangluo. Therefore, most of the people killed outside the city were wealthy families who did not want to leave their homeland.

According to the investigation overnight, a total of 978 people were found killed within 40 miles east of the city, of which 30% were nobles. ”

"Ahh

"What!"

"People killed? Who did it? ”

After Xi Zihui finished speaking, several people in the hall stood up, looked left and right, and asked with angry eyes. At this time, they knew why Lihua suddenly became angry, and why Lihua had to see Xizihui alone last night.

There is a lesson from the past of Fang Yuanheng, so no one thinks that the act of killing the people before the war will be a trivial matter, you must know that the evil consequences of slaughtering the people at this time are not divided into nobles and commoners.

Moreover, Wei Mu, Wei Huan, Gao Yunce, and Liang Qingshu, the generals who stood up, felt that they were drenched in cold sweat behind them, as if Qin Lan's past had happened in front of them now.

Several of them almost saw in their eyes that defeat was imminent, so they were also angry.

Lu Lihua didn't let Xi Zihui continue, because he found that there were two people in the noisy hall at this moment, their heads bowed, and their faces were red.

When Lihua saw that it was the two of them, she couldn't help but be stunned, and then immediately interrupted Xi Zihui's words.

He suddenly decided that he must not find out the two in public.

So when Xi Zihui saw that Lu Lihua raised his hand in order to stop his words, he was also a little stunned for a while. Seeing that the generals in the hall who were scolding and scolding angrily stopped their words when they saw the abnormality of the main general, the puzzled Xizihui suddenly asked tentatively:

"General, the soldiers who killed innocent people have been arrested by me, and the generals who connived at their participation have also been investigated.

How to deal with it, please ask the general to instruct. ”

After Xi Zihui, who lowered his head, finished speaking, he couldn't hear the echo of Lihua for a long time, so he had to secretly look up at the main general, but he happened to meet Lihua's complicated eyes.

He was slightly stunned, only to hear the voice of Zhu Lihua, and said to him:

"Doctor Xizi has worked hard, please sit down first."

Xi Zihui opened his mouth slightly when he heard this, but after a while, he still didn't say anything, but just sat down silently in his seat and didn't speak again.

At this moment, he felt a little remorse and annoyance in his heart, and even he was a little disappointed in his ignorance.

Lu Lihua's attitude is obviously to find out who the mastermind is, but he can't bear to kill him and wants to calm things down, and at the last moment he chose to shield the culprit, how can such a general not let him down.

Xi Zihui can understand the truth, how can the rest of the people not understand.

So when Gao Yunce and Wei Mu sat down one after another, everyone's eyes were full of disappointment and anger like Xi Zihui.

But among these people, only Gao Yunce and Liang Qingyun glanced at each other before taking their seats, and both of them saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.

As for the understanding of Zhu Lihua, except for Wei Yuanqi, who is still guarding the Shangdang and the Yellow Sky Fortress, I am afraid that there is no one more familiar with the two of them in this world, they know that Zhu Lihua's every move must have a deep meaning, so the two of them are not dissatisfied with Zhu Lihua's performance like everyone else. But even so, the two of them still felt deep anxiety and the horror of losing the hearts of the people.

They were deeply afraid that Lihua would lose the hearts of the people and the support of the generals because of the kindness of the women.

But in the dark, the two of them could feel that Zhu Lihua must have left a back hand.
