Ask for a few favorites for support, thank you. Also, the essence is gone, so let's make it all up next week, sorry. ）

Although they deliberately deviated from the route of the arrival of some of the large troops, the soldiers still did not have much time to waste. The grain that Li Xian brought out from Zuotunwei, plus the looted food picked up along the road, based on two full meals a day, the team of 27,000 people was probably only enough to eat for four days. The first meal of the escaped soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion was not hot porridge or anything like that, but just a small bag of fried dry food per person. It's hard to chew, but it's a delicacy for them.

The meal was a lot of food, because after a short break, the team had to continue on the way, and the soldiers had to recover some strength as quickly as possible. Ulzhi Wende's men and horses were chasing after him, although the rout of the Great Sui attracted most of Goguryeo's men and horses, and Li Xian also deliberately made the illusion of returning the same way, but he was not sure that he could hide it from Ulzhi Wende.

While eating, Li Xian summoned all the generals under his command for a brief meeting.

The content of the conference was simple, with only two themes.

First, what the team will do next.

Second, murder.

There isn't much disagreement about how the team will go. Most of them agreed not to go back the way they came, this was in the territory of Goguryeo, and the Goguryeo people knew better than the Sui people how the Great Sui Expeditionary Force came to be. Hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo people and horses chased after them, and they were far more familiar with this road than the Sui people. Moreover, Li Xian has a map in his hand. Of course, the map was not a comprehensive and detailed map of Goguryeo, and he did not have the ability to figure it out in such a short period of time.

To put it bluntly, this map is a road map back to Liaoshui. It took several months for the twenty secret spies of the Flying Tiger Army sent out by Li Xian before crossing the Liaoshui, and the task given to them by Li Xian was to find a way home. Only those who are prepared will not feel too difficult at the critical moment, because the hardest thing is that he thought of a countermeasure months ago. He wants to take the people back to Yanshan, and going back is the most important thing. In February, he sprinkled the secret spies of the Flying Tiger Army to explore the route, and now it is the end of August, and in half a year, the secret spies of the Flying Tiger Army have found another way back to Liaoshui.

If you go back the way you came, it will seem quicker on the surface, but in fact this is something that the Goguryeo people would also think. Moreover, in addition to the nearly 100,000 Sui soldiers who died on the banks of the Sashui River, there are also more than 100,000 Sui troops who have completely dispersed the formation and run back according to the original route, and the Goryeo people will definitely chase after them. Some people suggested that Li Xian return the same way, on the grounds that he could gather more routs, but in fact, Li Xian no longer had this ability.

Now there are more than 20,000 horses, and the food saved is enough to eat for four days. If you gather more people along the way, the greater the burden. It's not that you don't want to do that, but if you do that, you can only usher in the next crash in the fastest time.

When everyone learned that Li Xian had a road map to go home, no one debated this topic anymore. It's not that they don't care about other Sui soldiers in cold blood, but that they will not only not save more people, but will bury more than 20,000 people in it.

The second thing is to kill people.

There are quite a few people to be killed, probably more than 2,000.

There are two kinds of people to be killed, Goguryeo and their own people.

The Goguryeo people were captured in the battles along the way, and some were deliberately captured as guides, but as a result, too many were captured, and it was also a burden to carry them. Besides, now these Sui soldiers who escaped death don't have the consciousness that they can't kill prisoners, and benevolence, righteousness and morality are not worth a copper plate. Of the 100,000 Sui soldiers killed on the banks of the Sashui River, only more than 30,000 died in a desperate fight, and nearly 70,000 Sui soldiers chose to surrender, but after the Goguryeo people robbed them of their armor and weapons, the next thing to do was to cut off nearly 70,000 heads. Not a single one was left, all of them became headless ghosts.

When the Emperor Shengming of the Great Sui ordered that the Goryeo people should not be killed and surrendered, he did not know if he thought about what would happen to his people when they were captured by the Goguryeos.

Nearly 100,000 headless corpses were built by the Goguryeo people along the river embankment of Sashui, and the water surface was red for the entire ten miles. And those human heads were worn by the Goguryeo people on the wood and stuck on the ground, and when they looked at it from a distance, it seemed as if a large patch of dense human head grass had grown on the ground.

The killing of these two thousand prisoners of war is not an opinion and there is no need to discuss it.

But when it was their turn to kill their own people, many people were silent. One hundred and thirty-five soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion, because they violated military law, Li Xian decided to decide what to do after the soldiers finished eating. There are two main types of military laws that were violated: First, they snatched other people's armor and weapons and even injured others, and second, they hid food without permission and not handed it over, but also beat up soldiers who had collected food and confiscated it, killing more than a dozen people.

These soldiers were caught by the law enforcement team temporarily formed by Li Xian's Xiong Kuohai and Fu Hunu, but when Fu Hunu rushed with people, most of the soldiers who had collected food from Wang Qinian's squad had been killed, and there were more than 100 perpetrators, all of whom were soldiers of Zuo Yuwei.

Therefore, Xue Wanche's face was ugly.

Those who were killed were all the soldiers of his left guard, and those who were killed were all the soldiers of Li Xian's left guard.

"Isn't it...... Cane reproach to set an example? Kill those Goguryeo barbarians, kill them, but after all, those soldiers are all soldiers of our Great Sui, it's too harsh, isn't it...... After all, the team is not monolithic now, and if it arouses the emotions of the soldiers, I am afraid that there will be a mutiny. ”

Dugu Zhen glanced at Xue Wanche seemingly casually, and then cleared his throat and said.

"They also killed the soldiers of the Great Sui!"

Luo Fu said with red eyes.

Dugu Zhen was stunned, and then stopped talking. He didn't mind that Luo Fu, a person with a low official position, would contradict him, because Luo Fu was Li Xian's cronies. And with the current team, it is obvious that Li Xian is the real commander. He also wanted to follow the team back to Dasui alive, and what he said before was nothing more than to save some face for Xue Wanche. Speaking of which, most of the people on the agenda now are children from poor families, and only he and Xue Wanche are from families. So it is inevitable that he will be closer to Xue Wanche, after all, the muddy leg smell of those people from poor families is really not suitable for Duguzhen.

But he didn't intend to offend Li Xian, so he stopped talking to the point.

"Wang Qinian!"

Li Xian turned his head to look at the thin figure standing at the farthest distance, beckoned and said, "You tell me what happened carefully." There is no room for concealment, and there is no room for bias in words. ”

Wang Qinian smiled bitterly, stubbornly walked up and said: "General, that's the case, yesterday evening, the soldiers of a squad sent to me by the general found that some of the soldiers under General Xue's command had snatched the grain that others had picked up, and they refused to hand it over to the baggage battalion. There was a captain of the left imperial guard who said......"

Xue Wanche looked at Wang Qinian and said coldly: "What does he say, you just have to say it directly!" ”

Wang Qinian's face changed, he glanced at Li Xian and then gritted his teeth and said: "The captain said that they are the soldiers of the Zuo Imperial Guard, and they only listen to General Xue's words, and there is no need for them to give the food to others if they want to keep it for themselves, and they don't need to look at the people of the Zuo Tun Guard." If you want food, you have the ability to draw a knife to grab it. ”

Xue Wanche's face became very ugly, and he glanced at Li Xian but did not speak. He actually knew about it, and after learning about it, he tied up the person and sent it to Li Xianjun's tent as soon as he learned about it. He thought that Li Xian would open up the net, but he didn't expect to mention it in front of everyone today. Just now, when Li Xian asked Wang Qinian to tell the story again, he thought that Li Xian had instructed Wang Qinian to say a few good words for his soldiers. Unexpectedly, this guy named Wang Qinian didn't leave any room to tell the truth.

"Why do fights hurt people?"

Li Xian asked.

Anyway, it was also out of the way, and Wang Qinian's surname made things clear in one breath.

General Yan strictly ordered that all grain must be kept by the baggage battalion, and any soldier who concealed grain without permission and refused to hand it over would be dealt with according to military law. At that time, because the people of the left imperial guard refused to hand over the food, the team of the baggage battalion under my command was leading people to collect it, but at first they were pushed and shoved by the people of the left imperial guard, but my soldiers did not move. Later, the captain of the left imperial guard became anxious, drew his knife and slashed the captain of the baggage battalion, and the soldiers of the baggage battalion stepped forward to rescue, and the people of the left imperial guard began to draw knives and hurt people. More than 100 men besieged 20 soldiers of the baggage battalion, and 17 were killed on the spot, only three are still alive...... However, it is estimated that he will not survive today. The lightest one also had seven or eight stab wounds on his body. Among the people killed, two were chopped into pulp with knives, and the corpses were not complete! ”

Li Xian hummed and said, "You can retreat first." ”

He looked sideways slightly at Xue Wanche, whose face was pale, and asked softly, "General Xue, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”

Xue Wanche was speechless, Li Xian kept looking at him, and after a while, Xue Wanche gritted his teeth and said: "General Yan, let's recommend you as the leader of the army, and the military law is also determined by you, so how do you deal with it, Xue has no opinion!" ”

Li Xian nodded, glanced at the others and asked, "What do you think, is it to kill or to punish?" ”

They looked at each other, but they didn't speak.

Li Xian stood up, looked at the soldiers who had finished eating, and then said lightly: "People can't stand without faith, and it's useless if the law is not enforced." Disobey military discipline and be killed. ”

He walked slowly towards the crowd in the distance, and said as he walked: "The summons are assembled, and the military law will be enforced!" ”

……

……

When more than 2,000 Goguryeo prisoners of war were beheaded, the soldiers of the Great Sui Prefecture let out a cheer that was deliberately suppressed. No one sympathized with the Goguryeos, just as no one sympathized with the Goguryeo soldiers when they were stripped naked and their heads cut off. More than 2,000 heads fell, and everyone's hearts were very happy. However, when more than 130 bound soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion were pressed up, the audience immediately became silent.

Li Xian walked slowly to a high slope and glanced at the crowd below.

"Before I kill someone, I want to ask you a question."

Li Xian took a breath and said loudly: "Can anyone tell me why I ordered the grain to be pooled, and the soldiers were not allowed to intercept it without permission, and all of it was handed over to the baggage battalion for safekeeping?" ”

Everyone actually knew the meaning of Li Xian's order, and concentrated the small amount of grain and distributed it according to the number of people, so that it could last longer. If all the soldiers were to be kept privately, more than half of them would not have a bite to eat at all. After a moment of silence, someone began to reply loudly: "In order to let everyone eat a full meal!" ”

"In order that everyone can stop fighting hungry!"

"Because there's still a long way to go home, but there's not much food!"

The voices of the answers became more and more numerous, and each answer was so clear.

Li Xian looked at the murderous lieutenant kneeling below and asked, "They all know why, do you know?" ”

The lieutenant raised his head, glanced at Li Xian in fear, and quickly lowered his head, trembling and not daring to speak.

"Mighty sea!"

Li Xian shouted.

Xiong Kuohai strode up to Li Xian and said, "The subordinates are here!" ”

"You are now a law enforcement captain, let me ask you, what should be done to those who disobey military orders and beat up their comrades!"

"No mercy!"

Xiong Kuohai replied loudly.

The lieutenant raised his head violently, and his voice was hoarse and wailed: "General Yan, General Yan!" Spare me this time, I really won't dare next time! ”

Xue Wanche's face instantly became extremely ugly, and he scolded: "Bad seed! It's not a pity to die! ”

Then he turned and left, without even looking back.

Li Xian looked at the captain and said slowly: "The knife is used to kill the enemy, not to kill your own people." More than a dozen of your comrades were killed by you, and some were chopped into mashed meat by you, do you feel sorry in your heart? Now you say you don't dare, it's not that you know your mistake, but that you're afraid of death. I know that if there is a next time, maybe you really won't dare to disobey the military order. But...... If I spare you, will there be a next time for others? Will there be someone begging like you next time, I won't dare next time? If you don't kill you, if you don't kill the person next time, how many times will there be a next time? ”

He sighed and said, "I think, it's better only this time, so ...... No one will have a next time. There are some mistakes that can only be made once in a lifetime. ”

"Kill!"

Li Xian said coldly.

With a wave of his hand, more than a hundred soldiers of the law enforcement team came up, stood behind the soldiers of the left guard, drew their horizontal swords and raised them high and then slashed down, a wail stopped abruptly, and more than a hundred heads rolled on the ground.

When the knife slashed down, everyone's hearts were shocked.

"I know that you used to belong to different teams, there were soldiers of the Left Guard, soldiers of the Left Imperial Guard, soldiers of the Left Guard, and soldiers of the Right Xiao Guard, but you must remember that you are all my soldiers now!"

Li Xian said loudly: "Your former general abandoned you, Marshal Yuwenshu abandoned you, and the Great Sui abandoned you, but I didn't!" Because I treat you all as brothers, I can't bear to see any of you die at the hands of your enemies! But now, I have to kill my own people, and the murderous knife is cut on their necks, and it hurts in my heart! ”

"I just want to bring you all back with you and don't bury your bones elsewhere. If you want to go back alive, then see everyone around you as your brother! Only if everyone works together can we walk back, no one is holding on, can you persevere to the end! ”

"So, you'd better forget who you used to be from today onwards, and keep in mind that if you want to go back alive, then you must abide by military law, what is military law?"

Li Xian looked around and said loudly: "As long as I am still your general, then my words are the law!" Do you all understand? ”

"Understood!"

The answer was neat and loud, and willingly.

Dugu Zhen's eyes changed suddenly when he heard Da Sui discarding your words, he looked at Li Xian in surprise and stunned, and his heart suddenly had a storm!

This person...... What the hell are you going to do?

Looking at Li Xian, Dugu Zhen suddenly sadly found that he might really go wrong this time.
