Lu Shi couldn't sleep well because of something in his heart, and in the second half of the night, he heard a whispered knock on the door outside the cave, and he woke up immediately.

Zhang Wang was still at the age of snooze, so Lu Shi got up quietly, put on a piece of clothing and went to the ground, groped his way to the outer room, and asked softly; "Who's out there?" While asking, he groped for a cotton wool and lit an oil lamp.

The outside replied; "King Chuang, it's me, Chen San, I have something to report."

Lu Shi chuckled in his heart, this Chen San went out with Wu Tao and others, and it is expected that he will only come back tomorrow, why did he come back overnight? Isn't there something big going on?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly opened the door, Chen San was outside, and the edge of his hat was dyed snow-white with exhaled breath, frozen into thick frost.

Lu Shi hurriedly pulled him into the house, and at this time, Wang Jian also quietly woke up Zhang Xiao, and the two brothers took a teapot to pour water for the teacher and Chen San, and lightly added carbon to the charcoal brazier to make the room warmer.

Lu Shila Chen San roasted the fire first, and Chen San thanked him and sat on the edge of the basin and stretched out his frozen red hands, silent.

"Didn't you go with the commander in front of the army? Why did you rush back overnight, could it be that the front-line war was unfavorable? Lu Shi was a little nervous, staring at Chen San and asked

Chen San sat up straight and said; "King Chuang, the battle was won, but the military division and the general leader called me back to talk to King Chuang."

Lu Shi put down his heart as soon as he heard that the war was won, too, he could get through such a difficult battle at the beginning, and this little Zhao Jiabao did not have any suspense at all, but he was too careful, so he smiled easily; "Since it's a victory, then you can rest assured, could it be that the Great Commander and Wu Tao want to attack other fortresses?"

"That's not it, it's just that this battle is not going very well," Chen San said this, his words paused, and he raised his head to look at Lu Shi uneasily, rubbing his hands helplessly.

"The commander and the military advisor rushed back with the brigade overnight, so that I could tell the king and report to the king." As he said this, his voice became quieter and quieter.

Lu Shizou lowered his eyebrows and asked suspiciously; "But during the siege, the explosives pack did not work, and the brothers suffered heavy casualties? Or is there something else? ”

In fact, Lu Shi is still very confident in the big killer weapon of explosives packs, and in his previous life, Mao Taizu's army relied on this blockhouse wall to deal with Little Japan and the Kuomintang, which was invincible. Although he used black powder, which was not as powerful as the smokeless gunpowder at that time, he was dealing with a rammed earth city wall of masonry and stone, not a reinforced concrete fortress.

"That's not it, the military division's explosives bag is extraordinarily powerful, and we succeeded in one blow, but it was just that we had a bad time when we entered the fort later."

When he said this, his voice was lower, so low that he could barely hear it.

Lu Shi felt something in his heart, but he put his mind at ease, leaned in front of the brazier, tilted his head and smiled at Chen San: "Since this is the case, the siege of the city is just a pass of the city wall, and the city is down, then the rest is just a street battle, and there will be more casualties, but according to the training and ability of the landlord, there should not be much resistance, I will listen to it." ”

Chen San saw that King Chuang's face was relaxed, and he slowly let go of his nervousness, so he reported the entire attack process to Lu Shi in detail.

Lu Shi listened very carefully, and took the trouble to inquire about some ominous places in the middle.

Especially during the street fighting, the soldiers had to kill the people of the Zhao clan to make a key statement, and the resulting burden on the soldiers and leaders caused by the low morale of the army despite the victory of the army was explained in detail.

In fact, it was originally used as a pole, killing some ordinary people is nothing, it can also be said to be commonplace, for those landlords who are strong, of course, they must be killed, and there is no life left at all, that is, a chivalrous bandit with a conscience and compassion for the common people like Guo Tianxing, such a thing has not been done less when he was in Woniu Mountain.

It is also a matter of course to either kill or be killed or starve to death at the time of this natural disaster.

However, since the military song of the three major disciplines and eight points of attention has been sung all the time, repeatedly emphasizing the importance of loving the people and supporting the army, this is a kind of brainwashing in disguise, and the idea of loving the people and not killing indiscriminately has taken root in the hearts of every soldier, and once the butcher's knife is used against the people, it is inevitable that the soldiers will not be able to bear it, no wonder this ideological situation has appeared now.

After listening to Chen San's report, Lu Shi also fell into deep thought.

Chinese society is composed of such families, and the inheritance of China is often not the true sense of national cohesion and inheritance, but the continuation of these clans, and the allocation of officials in ancient China is only allocated to the county, but the townships and towns are all served by the clan chiefs in various places as the head of the Li Zhang Jia, and take the action of self-government. Even now in the twentieth century, most village chiefs are still respected clan members in their villages elected by the villagers.

The strength of the family is really strong, so strong that it will do whatever it takes for the continuation and development of its own family. In some eyes, people's loyalty, morality, family affection and even their own country are just chess pieces in their hands that can be discarded at any time, and the interests of the family are eternal in their hearts.

Now that the Black Tiger Army has faced the confrontation of a clan, in the future, with the continuous expansion of its sphere of influence, it will have all kinds of conflicts of interest with these clans, large and small, according to the original plan, to give certain compromises to support themselves, and such a clan that is extremely hostile to itself should be resolutely attacked and destroyed at the expense of it.

Although there was a negative impact this time, it can also be seen the other way around, that is, to make those clans who oppose him no longer blindly think that the Black Tiger Army is just a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and he also has an iron-blooded side.

People are good at being bullied, tigers don't show sharp teeth, and over time people are no longer afraid, then you are a sick cat.

Thinking of this, Lu Shi no longer struggled and hesitated, but firmly said to Chen Sandao; "Brother Chen, I already understand the situation, and I have a way to open the knots in my brothers' minds. You've also worked hard, so go and rest first. Tomorrow I will gather all the soldiers in the cottage to say something. ”

Chen San stood up and bowed, but corrected in a low voice: "King Chuang, Chen San's name will be mentioned in the future, and I have been named Chen Che by Zhao Xing's command." ”

Lu Shi suddenly realized that as the most important leader of the cottage, it was really not good to always Chen San and Chen San, so he smiled and said: "Very good, as a car in the cottage, move forward bravely, but it is appropriate." ”

Chen San, no, the current Chen Che was overjoyed at that time, when Zhao Xing originally gave this name, it was exactly this meaning, and he was also shocked by the importance in front of King Chuang.

At that time, I was relieved, and I was not worried, so I stood up and bowed to Lu Shi; "Since King Chuang already has a perfect plan, his subordinates are relieved. I don't have to rest, I have to go back to meet the army and take my leave. ”

Now the cottage is on the rise, everyone is very high-spirited, as if there is an inexhaustible strength and spirit all over the body, this is a good sign, with these high-morale group of people, then this troubled world is still terrible?

Since the army came back overnight, Lu Shi no longer rested, and called Wang Jian and asked him to wake up Chunlan next door to gather the women's army to prepare food and other things for the triumphant army.

Wang Jian came back after going out for a while and said that Chunlan had been up for a long time, and when she got Wang Jian's message, she hurried to the camp of the Women's Army to prepare for the triumph of the army.

A herald came to Lu Shi's door and said loudly; "Qi Yu Chuang Wang, the army has entered the village, and it is now in the big school field."

Lu Shiyi hurriedly stood up and said in surprise when he heard this; "Are the Grand Commander and Wu Junshi back? Why not arrange for the rest of the soldier brothers? ”

"Back to King Chuang, the commander and the military advisor have returned, and they have arranged for everyone to rest, but the soldiers and brothers are unwilling to disperse, and they have asked King Chuang to see everyone now."

Lu Shi was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood that this was the destruction of the Zhao family during the battle, and the soldiers had to be confused about the slaughter of men, women, and children, hoping that they could give an explanation. So he hurriedly took the Wang family and the two elementary schools to close the door and hurried to the school field.

The school field was full of soldiers who had returned from the expedition, Guo Tianxing and Wu Tao and other leaders had heavy expressions, and the entire school field was silent, without the vigorous momentum of returning triumphantly, but there was a decadent and silent atmosphere of defeat.

One of the heralds shouted; "King Chuang is here, everyone is quiet."

Everyone turned their eyes to the direction where Lu Shi had come from. I saw that Lu Shi was still wearing the snow-white robe, with a faint and peaceful smile, and stood still on the steps with steady steps.

After Lu Shi smiled and greeted everyone, when he looked at Guo Tianxing, Guo Tianxing's eyes were full of confusion and hesitation.

Lu Shi smiled slightly, didn't say much, turned to face the eyes below that were eager to solve the puzzle, took a breath and said loudly; "Brothers, I have learned about the entire battle process through Deputy Captain Chen Che, and I also know the confusion in everyone's hearts, I ask everyone, who have used knives and guns against civilians, please raise your hands."

The audience was still silent, but many people lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Lu Shiping's peaceful eyes anymore.

Suddenly, a hesitant voice behind him said; "Uncle Lu, I killed the people." Da Lang was the first to stand up and raise his hand.

"And me." Guo Tianxing also raised his hand firmly.

With the two of them taking the lead, many of the soldiers under the steps also raised their hands.

Lu Shi still smiled and nodded; "Let's put our hands down, everybody."

When everyone put down their hands and spoke loudly again; "Our military regulations are to love our people, but I tell you, the people in the military song refer to the people who support us and support us, not the so-called people who are hostile and stubborn to us like Zhaojiabao, and our purpose is to treat our people." Lu Shi bit the word "us" very hard; "We are to treat them as warm as spring, and our enemies as cruel and merciless as winter. Our banner of benevolence and righteousness is for the people we want to protect and need our protection, and it is definitely not like Zhao Jiabao, who picks up swords and guns to help oppress the people's government------ those landlords resist us strongly, we should show our swords and fangs to crush their illusions and dreams. We will knock them down and step on ten thousand more feet, so that they will never turn over. So, you're not wrong, you're doing the right thing, I'm proud of your steadfastness, I'm proud of your bravery. I am honored to have brothers like you, rejoice, my brothers, and rejoice for our triumph. ”

Silence, but Lu Shi saw in everyone's eyes that the light of depression and confusion was slowly dissipating, and the light of firmness and epiphany was spreading until it filled the entire eye. Suddenly, everyone erupted in a tsunami-like cheer.

This is a benevolent and iron-blooded community,
