Chapter 19: The Red Carp

Kan Zejun is constantly decreasing, Liu Tong is the first time to watch thousands of people fall in a pool of blood in front of his eyes so closely, Liu Tong has killed people, and has also experienced a lot of battles, although he is not as benevolent and cherished as Liu Yu and Liu Kuan, but he is also shocked by this situation, after all, thousands of lives fell in front of him.

Liu Tong suddenly thought that his grandfather Liu Yu probably had never killed anyone with his own hands, and his father Liu Kuan, as a commander, although many people died because of him, in his impression, he had never killed anyone, yes, Liu Kuan had never killed anyone with his own hands.

Liu Tong seemed to have made a major discovery, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart. I can't tell what kind of mood this is, and I feel strange how I could think of such a question.

When Liu Tong stopped thinking nonsense, he saw that the face of the red carp next to him was not good, so he followed the red carp's gaze, and saw that Zhang Liao's subordinates had already attacked the enemy's Chinese army, and the other party only had a few hundred people. Kan Ze, Ding Feng, Ling Feng and others have already been in close contact with each other, and they are extremely brave, and Zhang Liao's corporal and soldiers have fallen one after another.

Liu Tong was furious when he saw this, and shouted, Pegasus passed, and Chen Zhi and Wu Ji also raised their weapons and killed them when they saw this. Seeing this, Zhang Liao also chased after him. The soldiers saw the main general coming, they got out of the way, Liu Tong was fast, and in a blink of an eye he was in front of Ling Feng, Ling Feng was already exhausted, and he had been fighting strongly, Liu Tong went up and swept a stick on Ling Feng's horse's legs, the war horse knelt down, Ling Feng fell off the horse, Liu Tong's soldiers around him raised their guns to resist Ling Feng, Zhang Liao, Chen Zhi and others immediately surrounded Kan Ze and Ding Feng, Zhang Liao's subordinates, one after another, put aside the enemy generals and pressed back.

When the Jiangdong soldiers saw that the main general was surrounded, their morale suddenly plummeted, and they had been fighting for a long time, and they were already exhausted, and they knelt down and surrendered. The Nationalist Army surrounded the surrendered soldiers, and as if they had agreed, they suddenly raised their guns and swords and killed all the surrendered soldiers.

Liu Tong, Zhang Liao and others also captured Kan Ze and Ding Feng at this time, and the soldiers escorted Kan Ze, Ding Feng, and Ling Feng to kneel in front of Liu Tong and Zhang Liao's horses. Kan Ze and the others held their heads high, looking at the blue sky, without the slightest fear of death, let alone a word begging for mercy.

Liu Tong looked at Kan Ze, the scholar who used to talk about poetry with him, turned out to be such a bloody character! If it weren't for hostility, it was entirely possible to become a literary friend, although he had chased and killed himself, he was also his own master, and his heart gradually became compassionate. Seeing this, Zhang Liao waved his big hand and made a killing gesture, and the sergeants raised their weapons one after another, and they were about to attack.

At this moment, a shout, "Childe! Everyone saw the red carp jumping off the horse and kneeling in front of Liu Tong's red rabbit horse.

Zhang Liao already knew the identity of the red carp, so he immediately waved his hand, and all the sergeants stopped one after another.

Liu Tong dismounted, and the generals also dismounted, Liu Tong stepped forward to help the red carp up, the red carp twisted his shoulders and got rid of Liu Tong's hand, "Childe, Taiqing has the grace to take me in and pass on the art, Senior Brother Xuanqing treats me like a sister, and Red Carp begs Gongzi to spare Senior Brother Xuanqing and others." Red carp is a cow and a horse to repay the son! The red carp burst into tears like rain, and fell to the ground as he spoke.

Liu Tong was heartbroken by the red carp, knowing that this was the decisive choice of the red carp, the red carp was not a person who would go against his will, and he had never begged himself. Liu Tong looked at the red carp, thinking that Taiqing had taken in the red carp for so long, and passed on the peerless martial arts of the red carp, and his heart suddenly softened.

Liu Tong nodded, helped the red carp up, and turned to face Zhang Liao, "General, father's side, I'll explain." ”

Zhang Liao was also a decisive person, waved his hand and said: "Tie up a few people and take them down, and release them together after the war." ”

Liu informed that Zhang Liao was quite disciplined, and he should be afraid that if Kan Ze and the others were released now, the Luzhou reinforcements would definitely learn the details of their ambush here, and it would be safe to release them after the war.

Liu Tong saw that Zhang Liao was already arranging people to clean up the battlefield, and he was embarrassed to disturb him again, and let Kan Ze and others go privately, maybe it would bring him trouble. He had no intention of participating in the next ambush battle, so he said goodbye to Zhang Liao and took everyone back to Shouchun.

When Liu Tong and the others arrived outside Shouchun City, Shouchun was already completely quiet, and when several people entered the city, they saw a tragic scene. Due to the lack of timely firefighting, half of Shouchun City has been burned down, and there are ruins and broken walls everywhere, charred corpses everywhere, people lying on the corpses of their relatives in pain, or people who are walking silently with the corpses of their relatives in tow.

National Army soldiers were everywhere, and although the fire had been extinguished, they were silently relocating civilians, rescuing the wounded, repairing houses and exhuming bodies from the rubble. Liu Tong passed by a lot of porridge tents, but he saw that no one had a trace of gratitude, and the sparse people were holding porridge bowls with hatred on their faces. The red carp came all the way, sad all the way, with tears in their eyes. Liu Tong and others were also in a heavy mood.

War is brutal.

Liu Tong came to the mansion, because the Shouchun mansion was well protected by Jiangdong soldiers, and there were no houses next to it, so it was not burned down. After Liu Tong went in, he first found some water to drink, and then went to Liu Kuan to report.

Liu Tong left without saying hello, for fear of Liu Kuan's reproach. After Liu Tong entered the lobby, he saw Liu Kuan, Xian Yufu, Wu Qiujian, Xun You, Chen Gong, Fu Zhu and others present, and the atmosphere in the lobby was depressing. Liu Tong was suddenly uneasy. Liu Kuan saw Liu Tong come in and motioned for Liu Tong to sit down.

"Can you capture Sun Quan and Kan Ze?" Liu Tong listened to Liu Kuan's question, and knew that he couldn't hide anything from Liu Kuan, so he told the truth about the situation of his pursuit and Zhang Liao's ambush, as well as the situation of the red carp interceding and letting Kan Ze and others go.

"The red carp is affectionate and righteous, and the father and daughter of the Luo family are both righteous people, and they can't wait to see Brother Luo Hu early. The early death of a loyal man is regrettable. Liu Kuan whispered as if talking to himself.

Although the battle was a great victory, everyone in the hall seemed to have lost a battle, and no one was happy.

"Tong'er, these days you help resettle the people, you should learn to be sympathetic to the people, and you should understand the harm of war." Liu Tong hurriedly said yes, and when he saw that Liu Kuan had nothing to say to himself, he retreated.

When Liu Tong went to the back hall to look for red carp again, he saw Wang Ling'er packing up his accommodation. "Tong'er, be safe these days, don't make your father angry."

"Yes, by the way, what about the red carp? Sanniang. ”

"Miss Luo went to the door with food for disaster relief."

Liu Feng came to the door of the government office for a while, and saw the red carp and Wu Ji holding a big bag, on the opposite street, distributing pancakes, dried sweet potatoes and other food in the army to passers-by and the people leaning on the corner.

Liu Tong sat on the stone steps at the door and watched quietly, the psychology he had suppressed just now was suddenly released, and the figure and behavior of the red carp gave him a warm feeling, diluting the desolation in front of him.

Afterwards, Liu Tong learned that when he was watching the red carp distribute food, Liu Kuan announced to Xian Yufu, Wuqiu Jian, Xun You, Chen Gong, Fu Zhu and others that oil should no longer be used in the siege of the city in the future.

When Liu Tong heard Wu Qiu Jian say this, he said: "Just don't attack the private houses, it's okay to throw them on the city wall and burn the enemy army." ”

Wu Qiu Jian teased: "As far as you are smart, I said the same thing at the time, and my senior brother scolded me." ”

"What about attacking the gates? This is a weapon to break the door, you can't waste food because of choking! ”

"Then I didn't ask, anyway, I just can't cause harm to the people." Wu Qiujian actually felt that Liu Tong was reasonable.

"On the battlefield, do everything you can, if you don't kill the enemy, your subordinates will have to increase casualties, if you don't break the city quickly, fight for a long time, there may be more dead and wounded soldiers and civilians, this is too pedantic." Liu Tong and Wu Qiujian have always spoken unobstructed.

"You better keep your mouth shut, my ancestor, be careful that Senior Brother heard another reprimand for the two of us." Wu Qiu Jian hurriedly stopped it.

Liu Kuan then restrained the troops, stationed them outside the city, and mobilized a large amount of food to rescue the people in the city, and sent people to help the people build houses, and even the houses of the fleeing people were also built. He also put up proclamations everywhere to reassure the people, calling on them to return to the city. Even so, it took several years for Shouchun City to regain its former prosperity.

As for Liu Tong, he had to participate in all this, and after a period of time, he also had a deep experience of the difficulties of the people. Liu Tong was still reluctant to do this at first, and later under the infection of red carp, he gradually threw himself in. The more I went on, the more I felt that engaging in civil affairs was also a great contribution to the people, and the more I felt a sense of accomplishment.

Liu Kuan was very pleased in his eyes, especially with the red carp. Sometimes I sigh that it would be nice if my rude figure could be like the red carp. Liu Kuan knew that his eldest lady was difficult to change, everyone had their own temperament, Liu Kuan comforted himself.
