Shen Shanglian said in his heart that you kid didn't have a good heart, are you persuading, you are encouraging Okay, and you are still fending for yourself, you don't give food or drink in this ice and snow, why don't you strip off their clothes and let them fend for themselves?

"It's not that we haven't taken prisoners yet, they're just enemy troops sitting by the river with their hands raised, and we're in a standoff with them right now, and they're still our enemies—well, a big deal." Li Shirui said with a wicked smile, and he suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "I plan to collect their weapons and then drive them to the Nu River to feed the fish and turtles." Dog, against our central government will have to pay a little price. If God had allowed them to live, they would not have drowned, and if God had not allowed them to live, it would have been their fate. This is how their fate should be, and what can we do? Alas......"

Shen Shanglian said: "Jumping into the Nu River, they will definitely die, this is not Heilongjiang!" ”

Su Lansheng wiped the stubble on his chin, nodded in support and said, "Old Shen! Listen, that's a good idea, God always decides, everything is up to God, right? This Nu River has not been a man-eating river since ancient times, and there are still people who have survived, so they don't have to worry about it. ”

Shen Shanglian turned his head to look at the turbulent Nu River, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and the more than 3,000 Zang troops rushed directly into the Nu River? Since ancient times, some people have conquered the Yangtze River, some people have conquered the Yellow River, and some people have conquered the Pearl River, but no one is stupid enough to conquer the Nu River, just because the speed of the Nu River is far faster than other rivers, and it can be said that the Nu River is one of the most dangerous rivers in China.

"Old Shen, what do you mean? Give an answer. Su Lansheng asked.

Shen Shanglian took a long breath in his heart, shook his head and said, "I mean I don't support it, this matter is risky." ”

Li Shirui raised his hand and said loudly: "I oppose it because I support it!" Lao Su, it's up to you, are you for or against? Now that the vote is drawn, the lives of the three thousand Zang troops are all in your hands, remember, you must be cautious. ”

Su Lansheng almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, pointed at the two of them and scolded: "You two are not things, aren't you roasting me on the fire pit?" Co-authored good guys, bad guys, I'll be the one, right? ”

"That's how important you are." Li Shirui patted Su Lansheng's shoulder and said in a deep voice.

"You give me a reason, why are you against it." Su Lansheng looked at Shen Shanglian and said.

Shen Shanglian said carefully: "Lao Li, Lao Shen, if you don't say a word, I'm afraid that the news will leak at this time." You must know that there are 24,000 people in our Ninth Division, but there are 24,000 pairs of eyes looking at it, and you say that we will throw them into the Nu River, but one day, when someone talks about it, it will be a scandal in the world. Have you thought about it? If you really expose this matter, I am afraid that you and I will become scapegoats. After all, our biggest opponent in Xi'an is the British Empire, and the central government may not be able to protect us, but Yun Shuai is not capable of protecting us. ”

Li Shirui frowned, or Shen Shanglian was thoughtful, if this matter was leaked, the impact would be unprecedented.

Su Lansheng touched his chin and said, "Lao Shen is right, it is true that there are many people who are noisy, and it is not good for us." ”

Li Shirui sat on the chair and said angrily: "Is it really to capture them and provide them with food and drink?" Accustomed to them? Holy shit, whether it's the British or the rebels, I will never agree to treat them well, being friendly to the enemy is cruel to yourself! He suddenly slapped his thigh and jumped up and said, "Brother, I have an idea, you can listen to it." I'm going to transfer the main force of the army back now, leaving a regiment to do this, what do you say? ”

After a period of silence, Su Lansheng snickered: "Yes, they don't know how many people surround them!" I remember that when the Hailan Pao tragedy occurred, it was hundreds of Russian policemen who drove 7,000 Chinese people into Heilongjiang, why, because the Chinese people did not dare to resist, and now the rebels do not dare to resist, so we may not be able to do it. ”

Shen Shanglian glared at him and said, "We can't compare with Russian brutes, isn't that inferior to brutes?" ”

"Hahaha...... That's it. Li Shirui made a decision, and the other two saw that Li Shirui had already decided, so there was no need to object.

Su Lansheng immediately said: "I support the division, so I led the army to withdraw first, division, why don't you take the 39th regiment to do this beautifully?" ”

Li Shirui shook his head and said, "No, you can do this, Lao Shen and I agreed." ”

Shen Shanglian also smiled: "What are you running kid running?" It's up to you to do this, and we won't interfere. ”

Su Lan couldn't cry or laugh, and said in her heart that I was trapping myself.

Li Shirui laughed before saying: "Forget it, forget it, look at you kid as if someone robbed your daughter-in-law, tell you the truth, I'm joking with you." I'll do the killing of the prisoners, don't get involved in this matter, if this matter is exposed in the future for various reasons, it will be infamous for the ages, then I will bear it. "The so-called chief general is the person who should take the initiative to stand up and take responsibility in times of difficulty, and the kind of person who can only fight for merit and cannot take responsibility will soon be overthrown as the main general.

Although the generals under Wang Yongan have their own characteristics and differences, they have one thing in common, that is, they can assume their own responsibilities and do not shirk them to their officers. So Li Shirui took the risk of this infamy, he first collected all the weapons and ammunition of the Zang army and the British army, and then ordered Su Lansheng to lead the army to retreat. When the army retreated thirty miles, Li Shirui ordered the 39th Regiment to drive the Zang army and the British army to jump off the Nu River.

The Nu River is also known as the Salween River, most of the Nu River section flows in the deep canyon, the drop is large, the flow is rapid, there are many waterfalls and dangerous shoals, the upstream river supply is mainly ice and snow melt water, the summer rainfall is replenished, the water is abundant, and although it is winter at this time, the water volume is extremely abundant because of the blizzard. 3,000 Zang troops and more than 100 Britons were pushed directly down the Nu River, where they struggled and howled, and people's hearts were filled with fear in the face of death. But Li Shirui had already made a plan that he would never accept any prisoners and that he would drown these people, so he threw them into the river pitifully. Soon after, more than 3,200 people sank to the bottom of the Nu River, and no one survived. Not to mention that at that time, even in later generations, few warriors dared to conquer the Nu River - that was simply sending them to death.
