"Kill them." Lu Peng said to Zhao Yun indifferently.

"What? Kill them? Zhao Yun asked suspiciously, "But they are old women, women and children, I don't kill old and weak women." Zhao Yun resolutely refused.

"But they are alien races who once slaughtered our Han people."

"I can't kill old people, children, women."

"If you don't kill, I'll kill." Lu Peng didn't talk nonsense, and Pegasus rushed out.

Old Uke lifted the butter tea in his hand, his heart was full of hatred, but with the most sincere smile on his face, he shouted loudly to a general who was running towards him: "My distant neighbor, Old Uke offers you my purest beauty-" But he immediately felt a murderous aura directly pounced on him, and was startled, and yelled at the children behind him: "Run-"

But it was too late, and Lu Peng's big knife cut off his head.

Old Uk watched his body fall to the ground in disbelief, looked at the Han general in disbelief, chased his daughter-in-law and grandson one by one, cut him to the ground, and watched him rush towards his wife-

"Didn't the Han people not kill the elderly and women? Aren't all Han Chinese false compassion? But why is this Han man different? With countless questions, Old Uke died unwillingly.

On the bonfire lit by the bracket of Ao Bao, a fat lamb was driven, and the tender fat continued to drip and fall into the bonfire, so that the bonfire continued to dance a small blue flame, and in the beating of the flame, a rich aroma wafted to the depths of the grassland.

"More than 300 sheep, we can only eat for one day, this is not good, we must catch up with the tribes retreating into the depths of the grassland, and seize more cattle and sheep for our military needs." Sitting on a bundle of wool, Lu Peng turned the lamb on the bonfire in front of him.

The wool under the buttocks was tied in the hot summer, exuding a bad smell, which made Lu Peng feel very uncomfortable, so he instructed Tai Shici, who is now a centurion: "You better get me a folding stool." ”

Tai Shi Ci ran quickly, and after a while, he brought the folding stool in a four-wheeled carriage, broke it, and respectfully handed it to Lu Peng, and then removed the wool bundle that emitted a foul smell.

"It's a great opening." Lu Peng looked at the herds of cattle, sheep and horses in the distance with satisfaction, but he was still unwilling to complain to the second brother Su Shuang who followed: "But it's still too few, and the horses are not much, just a dozen, I just want to replace the cattle and donkeys that pull our chariot with horses, which can speed up the march of our army, not only can sweep all the tribes we detect, but also avoid the pursuit of us by the future Badun." Then he sighed: "Our strength is still weak compared to Badun." ”

Zhao Yun lowered his head and didn't answer with a dark face, pulling the bonfire with his hand, his face was full of disappointment and resentment towards Lu Peng.

Su Shuang glanced at the fourth brother, then at the third brother, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "This time we sent troops to the grassland, you ordered to bring only three days of food, and the rest to bring more salt and tea, this method will not work, once our food is eaten, we will collapse." ”

Lu Peng glanced at the fourth brother Zhao Yun, and then said to the second brother: "Our food will run out, but how can we collapse from hunger?" Look at it—" and then pointed to the soldiers around him who were excitedly killing sheep: "As long as there are grazing tribes on the grassland, we will have a steady stream of cattle and sheep to eat, this is a rare delicacy in the Central Plains." ”

Looking at the cheerful soldiers, Su Shuang frowned and said, "Do you just want to rob one and kill all of them when you see a tribe?" ”

"What's wrong with that?" Lu Peng showed a look of surprise.

"So what's the difference between us and the robbers? So what's the difference between us and the butcher? Zhao Yun, who couldn't control it anymore, suddenly threw away the wooden stick in his hand and yelled at Lu Peng loudly.

Lu Peng replied as a matter of course: "Of course there is a difference." Then he solemnly explained: "Robbers, is to rob their own maternal compatriots, and I rob our enemy, Sun Tzu's Art of War has told us, robbing the enemy for one hundred, is it equivalent to us getting ten Hu, is Sun Tzu still wrong?" ”

"Then why did you kill people, old people and children, and women?" Zhao Yun angrily asked Lu Peng.

Regarding Zhao Yun's anger and his rebuke because of his kindness, Lu Peng just indifferently fiddled with the bonfire and roasted the lamb: "In the face of our enemies, we are going to kill and weaken them by any means, calling for an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." ”

"However, they did not resist us and caused us casualties." Zhao Yun argued. Facing the docile family of this tribe, Zhao Yun's conscience told him that he should not kill these weak people, it was not a hero's doing.

"Put away your cheap conscience, put away your ridiculous hero's creed." Lu Peng indifferently refuted Zhao Yun: "How do you know that old guy's hands are not stained with the blood of our Han people?" The corpses of those Han slaves just now are still there, and the blood has not dried up, which is clear proof, as long as I slaughter my Han people, I must avenge the unjust souls of the Han people who died unjustly under their hands. Then he slammed his fist into his chest: "This is my responsibility." ”

"Why is the child innocent?"

"When he grows up, he will continue to plunder our frontiers and kill our people, and I must kill him before he kills our people, otherwise I will be committing a crime against our future people."

"What about the woman? Do women also want to kill? ”

"Of course you have to kill." Lu Peng's eyes flashed a trace of unbearability, but he turned away: "Because I want to weaken the enemies of our Han by any means, and women will give birth to children for foreign races, and will increase their population strength, I kill a woman of the enemy, it is equivalent to weakening their strength, it is equivalent to eliminating one of our future enemies, or even several strong enemies, I must do this." ”

"You-" Zhao Yun was furious, angry at this third brother who had suddenly lost his humanity and wanted to kill him.

"Okay, okay, they're all brothers, why bother?" The second brother Su Shuang pulled away two cockfighting-like guys.

Zhao Yun sat down angrily and no longer paid attention to Lu Peng.

Lu Peng still muttered to himself, and it seemed to be to the fourth brother, but also to the brothers and soldiers around him: "The nomads have plagued our Han people for thousands of years, and countless of our compatriots are killed and injured in their hands every year, and every war against the nomads is a futile effort that cannot completely solve this dead knot. Think they've surrendered, and we can shake hands and make peace. But don't you know that although wolves are tamed for a while, the nature of wolves is still there, this is their nature, as long as they leave our field of vision, as long as they lick their wounds, they will rush out again, tear our flesh and blood, and make us bruised again. Wildfires can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows, this is a lesson of blood again and again. ”

The soldiers gathered around lowered their heads one by one and pondered.

"Now, our Central Plains has been in chaos, the curtain of warlord melee has been opened, fratricidal killing will be inevitable, this chaos may last for a year, two years, or ten or twenty years, or even longer, which will seriously weaken the strength of our Han nation and greatly hurt the vitality of our Han nation. And every now and then, the iron hooves of the nomads will take advantage of the weakness to go south, ravage our nation, trample on our land, our homeland garden will become a bloody land, and our people, brothers and sisters, and parents will become slaves of foreign races. ”

All the brothers around were shocked by the tragic situation that might happen in the future.

"Since I have come to this world, I have the responsibility to protect the safety of the people around me, and I have the responsibility to protect our mother clan from being bullied by foreign races.

The eyes of all the soldiers became bright and firm, including Zhao Yun.

"My ability is still weak, I can't completely annihilate our current and future enemies, all I can do now is to weaken them by any means, do everything I can to weaken them, let them reduce the threat and harassment to us, and ease our worries when we are fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains."

Pick up the lamb that has been roasted, give a portion to the second and fourth brothers, and then bite a piece with his teeth, chew hard, and swallow it in a big gulp.
