……

"What did you bring us here for?"

"Aren't you going to Changyang? Why did you bring us to this place......"

"General Bai, tell me something, what do you want?"

In a deserted ruined city, more than 7,000 Huang Kang's old troops were brought to the city under the walls of the city by Bai Yue's rebels, and everyone gathered together with ropes and their hands tied together, forming a crowded sea of people.

On the city wall, nearly 3,000 soldiers of the righteous army looked at the noisy crowd below with bows and arrows in hand, their faces full of dazedness and solemnity.

Bai Yue stood on his back as a captive under the city wall, his eyes closed tightly and his brows furrowed, his cheeks twitching as if he was still struggling with his decision.

"Brother White! Are you really going to do that? ”

Xu Liao, who rushed to hear the news, stepped on the city wall, glanced at the crowd moving below, and came to Bai Yue's side and asked loudly.

Bai Yue slowly opened his eyes, looked at the bleak scenery outside the city, and said to Xu Liao: "Brother is right, leaving these captives behind is always a disaster, now that the army is out on the march, if these people make some trouble, how to suppress it?" At this time, there can be no negligence, so ......"

"I disagree!" Xu Liao yelled at him when he heard this, "We have promised them that we will let them live well!" Do you want to break your word? Brother Bai, you can't go on like this, hurry up and order everyone to be released! ”

"Brother Xu, don't force me!" A tear fell from the corner of Bai Yue's eyes, looked at Xu Liao, and said heartbreakingly: "Do you think I am willing to do this?" No, my heart really hurts right now! But you have to understand what happens if you leave these people behind? Who will bear the mess!

And how much does a day's ration for these 7,000 people cost? Changyang doesn't have so much food to feed them anymore, I ......"

Xu Liao interrupted him and said, "So you just listen to Lu Yuanling's words and want to put these brothers who surrender to Cheng to death!" Brother Bai, when did you become like this! ”

Bai Yue said: "I just want to end this war as soon as possible, so that the military governor can return to Jizhou as soon as possible, only in this way can this turmoil be calmed down......"

When Xu Liao heard this, he immediately took out a bunch of newspapers from his arms and said to Bai Yue: "Brother Bai, you can read for yourself what is written in the newspapers, and now the people all over Youzhou love the military governor very much.

He dares to start collecting taxes from those indefatigable gentry, and the life of the people will be much better in the future than in the past, you can see for yourself......"

Bai Yue took those newspapers, then crumpled them into a ball without looking at them and said to Xu Liao: "That's just a trick for the military governor to deceive people's minds, how can it be taken seriously?" Brother Xu, how can you believe this rumor?

The only people who can really bring peace to the people are the elder brothers, these immortal family lords. ”

When Xu Liao saw Bai Yue's scene, he immediately shook his head: "Until now, do you still believe in these worldly valves?" Lu Yuanling, Dong Tianke, and Su Jingshan, even if the three of them did not come, how could they have treated the people of Youzhou well? You really don't understand or are you pretending to be confused! ”

Bai Yue explained: "If a person is not a sage, who can be without fault? I believe that after this lesson, my brothers will definitely treat the people of Youzhou well in the future. ”

Xu Liao snorted coldly, his face full of disbelief: "For the sake of some military rations, I dare to be ruthless to the gentry and the people under my rule, I don't see any signs of improvement in them, if you really want to think about the people, you should go out of the city and surrender and end the confrontation with the Military Governor's Mansion as soon as possible." ”

Bai Yue said: "If you do this, my brother and a few of them will already die, but the Lord of the Military Governor will pre-empt their death and then hurry up......"

"Don't talk about anything else!" Xu Liao felt that he couldn't continue the discussion with him, so he waved his hand and said, "You must not kill those seven thousand captives!" Don't forget what is the purpose of our rebels? ”

"No way!" Bai Yue's eyes were cold and said categorically, "For the sake of the overall situation, they must all die!" ”

Xu Liao was furious when he heard this: "Bai Yue, I won't agree with you doing this, you want to kill them?" Step over my corpse first! With that, he stepped forward and stopped in front of him.

"Brother Xu, don't force me!" Bai Yue stared at Xu Liao with red eyes and shouted.

Xu Liao met Bai Yue's gaze and said loudly: "If you still treat me as your brother Xu, listen to me once!" Let them all go, and then we will leave here and stop meddling in the affairs of Lu Yuanling and the Military Governor's Mansion, okay? ”

Hearing this, Bai Yue lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and suddenly pulled out the saber at his waist and pressed it against his neck, this sudden scene made the surrounding rebel soldiers stunned.

Xu Liao felt the slightest chill coming from his neck, and looked at Bai Yue in surprise and shook his head: "Bai Yue, I really can't believe that one day you will draw a knife against me for Lu Yuanling's beast, okay, there is a kind of you who will kill me today, otherwise, as long as I still have a breath, you don't want to move a single hair of the brothers below!" ”

Bai Yue heard the words and groaned: "Brother Xu, why can't you understand me, don't understand the hard work of my brother, come on, bring Xu Liao down......"

As soon as the words fell, the two volunteer soldiers immediately pounced on Xu Liao's shoulders and pressed him to the ground.

"Bai Yue, you can't do this! Let go of me, Bai Yue, you can't be wrong again and again......"

Xu Liao, who was pressed to the ground, kept struggling and twisting his body, and when he was about to break free, three more volunteer soldiers pounced on him and held him down completely.

"Archer!"

Bai Yue ignored Xu Liao, who was roaring on the side, and gave orders to the rebels on the city wall in a deep voice.

"Whew~"

But hearing the roar of the bowstrings, the rebel soldiers on the city wall aimed their bows and arrows at the prisoners under the city.

"You want to kill us?"

"Brute, I know!"

"The surname is white, you don't keep your promises!"

"If we knew this, we shouldn't have listened to them in the first place, even if we died in battle, we wouldn't surrender......"

"General Huang, we were wrong......"

"What a rebel army, a bunch of brutes in human skins......"

Hearing the sound of the castle tower, and seeing the cold arrows aimed at him, the seven thousand prisoners who were trapped together immediately understood what was going to happen, and immediately continued to insult them.

"I'm sorry......" Bai Yue, who saw all this, opened his eyes and slowly raised his left hand.

"Brothers, stop scolding, get closer......"

At this time, a prisoner who looked like an officer spoke, and slowly stopped the noise of the people around him.

I saw the officer say to some soldiers around him who were trembling and even crying with fright: "We are all soldiers under General Huang, and we are also soldiers of the military governor.

Now that he is dying, he is going to die like a man, and if he goes on like this, he can have the face to say sorry to him when he sees General Huang and his old man.

Don't cry, don't be afraid, come, let's sing a song, before I came recently, I heard a tune from the brothers of the town word camp that seems to have been composed by the military governor himself, called "Liu Jiajun",

I think you've all heard it, come closer, let's walk more heroically, the lyrics won't, but you still remember the tune, right? I'll start first......"

After he finished speaking, the prisoners around him gathered together with their hands tied behind their backs, and the officer-like man looked at the rebels on the city tower with a trace of disdain.

"Oh~~"

"Woo woo woo~"

The tragic humming slowly spread intermittently in the ruined city, and finally 7,000 people gathered together and shook the sky.

"Put!"

Hearing the poignant tone behind him, Bai Yue endured the grief in his heart and gave the order to slaughter.

"No~ stop! No! ”

"Fluttering ......"

"Puff puff ......"

"Ah~~"

Xu Liao saw this scene and wanted to stop it, but helplessly, the arrows rained down like locusts, and they all fell to the bodies of the prisoners in the city, bringing pieces of blood flowers to bloom......

But the passionate but tragic tone never stopped, and even overshadowed the shouts of the soldiers who fell to the ground after being hit by arrows......

"Squeak~"

The rebel soldiers on the city wall drew their bows with tears and aimed them at the dense crowd under the city tower, and then closed their eyes with a howl and shot the arrows in their hands......

"Go on, let's go!"

Hearing that there was no bowstring movement behind him, only the sound of singing echoed, Bai Yue howled again and gave an order......

"Poof......

After the last of Huang Kang's soldiers fell, the fading singing finally disappeared......

But it has been echoing in the minds of these righteous soldiers......

"Woo......"

After the execution was completed, many of the rebel soldiers finally couldn't help but sit down and cry and choke, and for a time the entire city wall was filled with the sound of wailing.

Bai Yue slowly turned around and stared blankly at the field full of corpses below her eyes, and her ears seemed to be echoing with their tragic singing before they died, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Let go of me!"

Xu Liao shouted angrily, shook off the palm on his body, got up from the ground, and swept towards the prisoners who fell in a pool of blood under the city wall with an iron face, and walked towards the city wall without even looking at Bai Yue.

"Puff~"

Xu Liao, who came to the middle of these corpses, knelt down heavily, followed by Bai Yue's figure.

"Brother Xu, ...... you" He was about to speak a few words of comfort, when he saw Xu Liao reach out and pull out the arrow from the corpse of a prisoner, and then pull out the arrow from another corpse with an expressionless face.

"Brother Xu, I'll help you." Bai Yue immediately knelt down and went to pull out the arrow with Xu Liao.

But I heard Xu Liao's deep shout: "Take your hands away, don't dirty their bodies......"

Bai Yue was stunned when he heard this, stopped his palm to pull out the arrows, and watched Xu Liao pull out the arrows on the prisoners one by one without saying a word.

However, with an average of three or four feather arrows stuck in each of the seven thousand corpses, even though Xu Liao's sweat rained down, he couldn't pull out more than one percent.

In the end, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and yelled at the rebels behind Bai Yue: "The brothers who haven't moved their hands have come to help, after pulling out the arrows, go dig pits with me, bury them one by one, don't let the wild dogs take them away, it's hard enough to live, let them rest in peace when they die." ”

When Bai Yue heard this, he immediately grabbed him and stopped: "Brother Xu, brother, they are still waiting for us, you will delay a lot of time if you do this......"

"Get out of here!" Xu Liao shook Bai Yue's hand away and roared, and then said contemptuously: "General Bai, you are busy with military affairs, hurry up and go after Lu Garrison, you won't bother here......" After speaking, he continued to beckon the rebel soldiers who rushed to pick up the corpses on the ground.

Bai Yue stood in place and looked at Xu Liao, and said slowly: "Brother Xu, I'll go first, Bai is waiting with you at my brother's place to calm down the chaos in Youzhou." ”

After speaking, he shouted to the rebels on the city wall: "Brothers, go, go with me to Changyang Canyon!" ”

Soon, many rebels on the city wall got up and walked towards Bai Yue, but there were still hundreds of rebel soldiers still sitting in place, their eyes were red, and they didn't react at all.

"What are you doing here...... Bai Yue was startled, looking at the motionless rebel soldiers on the city wall, as if they had turned a deaf ear to their words.

Suddenly, a rebel soldier got up and threw the horn bow in his hand to the ground, and roared sharply: "Brother Bai, everyone respects you as a man and followed you out to die, even if you immediately call us to die, you won't frown, but my fifth child doesn't understand a little,

Didn't the righteous army swear at the beginning of its formation to kill and drive Hu Nu to ensure the safety of the land and water, why do we now want to do this to these officers and soldiers who were born in the same poor families?

I have promised to spare their lives, so why should I be treacherous?

Also, why should you help Lu Yuanling deal with the former military governor who killed 20,000 Hu slaves and recovered Jizhou? I really don't understand, you give us a few to talk about! ”
