Chapter 56: Divergence
Xuanyuan Xiu stood silently beside Ye Gucheng and watched, she wanted to speak, but she didn't know who to help!
On one side are the clansmen, blood is thicker than water, and they share honor and disgrace!
On one side is Ye Gucheng, the person who desperately wants to protect!
Both sides are existences that she can't give up!
At this moment, it seems to have returned to the scene of the dispute between Ye Gucheng and Xuanyuan Zhuo a few years ago, and she was also at a loss to stand like this.
Because of her sadness, her eyes began to redden, but she still endured not to speak, in order not to let everyone find out, she buried her head very low, and her ten fingers were unconsciously rubbed desperately.
"What if I insist?" Ye Gucheng didn't notice Xuanyuan Xiu's abnormality, at this moment, he was very angry.
Xuanyuan Wuji is a tendon, and it is difficult to change the things he believes, this is true for his father, and the same is true for Ye Gucheng, he squatted on one knee, knelt on the ground and hugged his fists and said: "Please think twice, the city lord can't let go." ”
"Please think twice, the city lord, the Black Mountain people can't let go!" Facing the bottom line, all the generals followed suit and knelt down again to ask for their lives.
"You ... Ye Gucheng looked at the generals insisting like this, laughed angrily, shouted three times in a row, and immediately, his face sank, and he shouted violently: "Do you want to force the palace?"
Xuanyuan Xiu's delicate body trembled slightly, and tears finally couldn't help but slide silently.
Zhang Yueli didn't understand what it meant to force the palace, but when she saw Ye Gucheng's attitude, her eyes were cold, and she reprimanded: "Lord City Lord, do you really want to chill the hearts of the soldiers for the Black Mountain Clan?"
Zhang Yueli was really disappointed! She had never called Ye Gucheng City Lord, because in her heart, Ye Gucheng was like her own family, but now, she didn't understand the man in front of her, and her clan despised him for acting like this.
Ye Gucheng felt very powerless, for the wicked, he could still raise the butcher's knife, but for those innocent prisoners who had surrendered, he really couldn't do it, this is the moral bottom line, the foundation of being a man, and it is also a matter of principle that he adheres to.
Sighing, Ye Gucheng slowly explained: "Everyone, I understand the hatred in your hearts, in fact, I also hate the Black Mountain Clan as much as you, I will never forget the scene where the soldiers died tragically in their butcher's knives!
"The lord of the castle is wrong in what he said. Xuanyuan Wuji had a cold face and retorted loudly: "In the past, the chieftains of the Panlong Territory ambushed 200 iron horsemen of our clan, could they be from the Black Mountain Clan?
"Yes! As long as it's a subordinate soldier of the Black Mountain Clan, all of them should be damned. ”
"Lord of the City, these Black Mountain Clan's affiliated soldiers and horses can't be let go. ”
The congregation was once again emotionally exhorted.
Ye Gucheng was completely enraged, since the reason doesn't make sense, then don't talk about it! He stood up and scolded angrily: "Is it that my order as the city lord doesn't work?" If you don't trust me, then please ask for another high, Lao Tzu doesn't accompany you, you can do whatever you like, Lao Tzu doesn't care! Xiu'er, go!"
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded! Watching Ye Gucheng throw his hand out, he was at a loss for a while.
Ye Gucheng held his breath, walked to the cliff once before stopping, facing the mountain wind, looking at the mountains and peaks, his mood finally calmed down.
After this incident, he began to realize a more serious problem, although these generals obeyed him, they were by no means 100% obedient, and in the event of a conflict, he had no troops at all!
Today was the first time, but he believed that it would not be the last! Because according to his plan, the territory gained after defeating the Montenegrins would be distributed to these oppressed subordinate tribes, and he needed to build brand new villages! He wanted to make sure that everyone had no worries about food and clothing! Only in this way could there really be no war, and this was the real purpose of his insistence on going out with the army this time.
To this end, he did not hesitate to shoot the killers in public, both to ensure the preservation of those who have a conscience, and to deter, to show all the survivors one thing, to keep to themselves and survive.
But now, just releasing these subordinate clan soldiers has caused such a big reaction in the army, if everyone learns that he is going to distribute the territory to the affiliated tribes of the Black Mountain Clan, I really don't know how they will react!
At this moment, Ye Gucheng felt that the road to peace and stability was thousands of times more difficult than he imagined!
Xuanyuan Xiu stood quietly, following all the way from the tent, she didn't say a word, because she didn't know how to speak, the only thing she could do was to stay quietly behind her like this.
Looking at the lonely figure in front of her, her heart was so uncomfortable!
Sighing, Ye Gucheng slowly turned around, staring at the pair of eyes full of sadness in front of him, his heart was sour, and he said in a depressed mood: "Xiu'er! Did you disappoint?"
Xuanyuan Xiu didn't speak, just shook his head vigorously, shook and shaken, and tears slipped down unconsciously.
When Ye Gucheng saw this scene, his nose was sour, and he couldn't help but step forward and hug him. "I'm sorry!
Xuanyuan Xiu listened to Ye Gucheng's almost choked whisper, tears flowed more cheerfully, and in order not to let the other party find out, she stuck to her thick chest.
Never thought of standing on top of the clouds
I just want to be with you for the rest of my life
The fireworks on the horizon are gorgeous
I can't beat you and smile at me
。。。。。。
Listening to Ye Gucheng's soft humming song, Xuanyuan Xiu's hands became tighter and tighter, she was no longer the little girl she was six years ago!
Ye Gucheng's original intention has never changed! What he has done, what he desperately wants is peace and stability, just to be able to live with his beloved woman to old age without worry!
However, such a simple request, something that could be easily done in the world he originally lived in, in this cruel era of cold weapons, he needed to pay a hundred times or even ten million times more effort to achieve!
How ironic! How pathetic!
At this moment, he was especially envious of his original life, and even more envious of those friends and relatives who lived in the civilized world!
In the end, Zhang Yueli, Xuanyuan Wuji and the others could only acquiesce to Ye Gucheng's behavior, after all, they couldn't really turn their faces with each other, Xincheng couldn't do without the city lord, and the soldiers couldn't lose the god of war!
However, the aftermath is a problem!
Although thousands of captives have chosen to become the subordinate soldiers of Xincheng, no one is at ease, so Ye Gucheng decided to leave 10,000 soldiers to assist in supervising the island, and the generals have no objection to this.
With the isolated island, Ye Gucheng no longer has any worries, and he took 10,000 steps back and said, in case there are variables in the battle ahead, the Black Mountain Clan will not be able to take a shortcut to counterattack the new city.
On this day, Ye Gucheng secretly summoned a captive, to be precise, at this moment, this person was already a subordinate clan soldier of Xincheng.
After listening to Ye Gucheng's plan, the clan soldiers were excited, he never thought that the clansmen would be able to live peacefully in the future, and no longer worry about being affected by the war.
"It's just that you have to think clearly, this is a point of no return!
"Lord of the City, this life of your subordinates was given by you, if it weren't for your insistence, we would have died a thousand times, for this, each of us is grateful, besides, in order to make the life of the clan better, my subordinates will not give up, and I also ask the lord of the city to meet my clan soldiers in the future as much as possible to show mercy, because they are all forced. ”
"Don't worry! I, Ye Gucheng, pledged with Xiang Shang's head that I would never kill an innocent person indiscriminately. ”
The clan soldiers glanced at Ye Gucheng deeply, hugged their fists and said, "City Lord, take care! ”
"Take care!"
。。。。。。
Ten days later.
Black Mountain Cliffs.
"What?" Ba Wuji glared at him and shouted, "Say it again?"
"Patriarch ... The isolated island was broken by Ye Gucheng, and the 10,000 defenders of the isolated island were all wiped out. The messenger was so frightened that he lay on the ground and trembled, and did not dare to lift his head.
Ouyang Jing's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked slowly, "Since the whole army was annihilated, how did you know about it?"
"Hui Yu Military Division, a subordinate clan soldier who escaped from the isolated island at the risk of death reported. ”
"Oh!" Ouyang Jing's expression moved, and he said indifferently: "What about people?"
He had only one breath left, and then he died. ”
"Did he say how Ye Gucheng broke through the isolated island?" This is what Bai Xiaotian is most concerned about, the isolated island is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as it is properly guarded, let alone 150,000, even 300,000 is difficult to overcome.
"Returning to Mr. Bai, it is said that he attacked the isolated island at night while the soldiers were asleep, but it is said that more than half of the enemy soldiers were killed or wounded. ”
Hearing this, Ba Wuji was even more angry and scolded: "Hei Mu Hao's rice bucket is really hateful. ”
"Okay, you go down first!" Bai Xiaotian glanced at Ba Wuji indifferently and motioned for the guards to retreat.
The herald breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly agreed.
Ouyang Jing saw that the atmosphere was a little depressed, coughed lightly a few times, and said in a deep voice: "Right now, the situation is extremely unfavorable to our clan, and I also ask the patriarch to come up with a corresponding strategy as soon as possible." ”
Ba Wuji remembered that he had lost again and again in the past few years, and now that the two armies of the Holy Fire Sect and Xincheng were attacking at the same time, he couldn't help but have a headache and said: "Since the Yinkawazaki rebellion, I can't be sure about the defenders in various places, and now there is no news from one place, it is really suspicious, I don't know what the military advisor has." ”
Speaking of Yin Kawasaki, Ba Wuji was really angry, and he ordered to come to question, but there was no news, and it didn't take long for the news that Tiger Roaring Mountain was broken, thinking that the other party had defected to the enemy!
"The only way to do this is to hold on, and in order to prevent the defenders from defecting again, it is recommended to send the Red Blood Guard to supervise. ”
It seems that this is the only way!
Ba Wuji thought of this and quickly ordered.
Seeing this scene, Bai Xiaotian's eyes flashed a hint of strangeness, and he glanced at Ouyang Jing indifferently.
