There are no lights, no sunset, no moonlight.

The colorful fluorite illuminated the city of Tianyin and was helpless, except for the occasional bark of animals, everything was as before.

The fire in front of the city was still not burning, and there was a crackling sound of blackened bones and half of the remaining military flags still waving in the wind. With stumps and severed arms all over the ground, it was impossible to distinguish whether they were friends or foes, and the logistics units of the coalition forces quickly shuttled through the field, inspecting the materials left behind by both sides and sorting them back.

Only the victors are qualified to pick up loot on the battlefield, and Cuo Ling can only watch this happen from the towers of Tianyin City.

Most of the corpses of the Coalition soldiers killed in the battle had been collected, except for a few individuals who were burned like black charcoal and could not identify the faction, and the old pit ordered that all of them be treated as friendly soldiers - a thick burial.

Nearly 25,000 men were thrown into the battlefield on both sides in this battle, and the blue-helmet warriors were basically wiped out, and only more than 1,000 people were captured, including the general flag goshawk and the dozen or so Hu that survived. In total, the coalition forces suffered 2,900 casualties, more than 700 seriously wounded, and more than 3,000 lightly wounded.

Zhou Yu quickly gave important instructions on the aftermath work: first, as everyone could see, arrange special personnel to clean up the battlefield, collect arrows, weapons, undamaged armor, healthy demon scorpions, and portable water bag rations, etc. Attacking Tianyin City is a protracted war, and it is necessary to fight with war in order to fight against its strong walls.

Second, special statistics are made on the dead and wounded. The family members of the deceased will be notified of the news of the death of the strong man on a fast horse, and the corresponding bereavement pension will be given, which is absolutely not less than the equivalent of the soldier's salary for 20 months in the army. The bereaved families were clearly informed that after the liberation of the Dubancia continent, their children could choose not to serve in the military and enjoy free and compulsory education.

Third, reorganize the ranks. In the reserve and standing army, we will select outstanding young backbones and supplement them to the Second Front Army and the Xuan Qinghong Division, so as to ensure that the fighting blood is always solid and reliable, and to ensure that our team can be pulled out at any time, can be pulled out, and can win in battle.

Fourth, persuade the captives to surrender. According to Bang Shuai's report, after being captured this time, more than 1,000 people knelt down to beg for mercy, crying for their fathers and mothers, and there were very few people who even opened their mouths to speak. Even if it is a famous mouth like Diao Silkworm, he was also spat on his face full of iced green tea and returned.

It was this kind of team discipline and fighting stance that made the Metropolitan Governor feel admiration from the bottom of his heart. The two armies are at war, each with its own master, except for the difference in position, there is no difference, it is just work. If your opponent doesn't even pay attention to the war and becomes your teammate, will you willingly give him your back?

"Lord Zongqi, it's better to meet than to be famous!"

Zhou Yu suddenly had the idea to meet the goshawk who was now a prisoner for a while, and this person left a deep impression on him.

"Phew, despicable and shameless traitor, his heart can be punished for committing a crime!"

The goshawk was tied to a stone pillar, and the chain, thick with his fingers, was deeply rooted in the flesh, and the skin on his chest and back had already been peeled open, and it was evident that he had suffered a lot. However, it is no wonder that many of the guards who guarded died at the hands of the blue-helmeted warriors, and not taking his life was already a product of strict military management.

"Oh? Am I a traitor? Dare to ask Lord Zongqi, who did I betray? ”

"Phew!"

A mouthful of saliva mixed with blood stains spat on Zhou Yu's face, and most of the governors were caught off guard and were sprayed with "Hao Lao Wet".

"You kid is impatient, don't look at what kind of place this is!"

The foot fly elbowed under the goshawk's ribs, and used great force. The goshawk grinned in pain, whimpered, and then gasped for air.

"Alas!"

Zhou Yu made a look and motioned for the accompanying Lao Vi, Foot Fly, Tuda Jielang and others to withdraw from the dungeon, these things that he was unwilling to do while people were in danger.

"You might as well give me a good time, if you want to continue to persuade me or take some secrets from me, it's absolutely impossible, you die of this heart!"

The goshawk people are heroic, and with this set of rhetoric, it really has some extraordinary meaning, leaving the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun. Zhou Yu took out a handkerchief and wiped his face, and pulled a chair with great interest and sat down.

"I haven't thought about this, first of all, the secret is not worth anything to me, I know how many catties and taels Cuo Ling has, and there is no need to arbitrage it."

"Don't be ashamed!"

The goshawk glanced at the Metropolitan Governor and shifted his gaze to the side.

At this point, Zhou Yu did not lie to him, although most of the governors and Cuo Ling were not on the same channel at all in terms of tactical play and troop habits, and the confrontation and battle completely depended on improvisation. However, with the two important pawns of Danzig and Monsieur Depraved, and the countless blessings of the inner descent, the secret was not attractive to him.

"Lord Zongqi, I think you are brave, witty and tenacious, don't you look like such a pedantic and stupid person?"

"Am I pedantic? Am I stupid? Haha, joke! Are you brainbroken? ”

"I don't know what kind of purpose Lord Zongqi will swear allegiance to the Cuo Ling family?"

"We should be a man from the beginning to the end, and we must serve the Lord with one heart. This is a natural and righteous road, and it is the only way for a courtier to pursue himself. Needless to say? They say you're stupid, but they look down on you! ”

"Hehe, good! So what if Cuo Ling is wrong? Will you still be faithful and willing to be his thug and executioner? ”

"A monarch has lofty ambitions and lofty commands, and even if he is wrong, he has a reason. When we are subordinates, we shouldn't ask too much about things in the direction, what tasks are assigned, just do it, where do so many questions come from? ”

"Not bad, good, good, good!"

Zhou Yu had to slap approvingly, he really didn't look away, the goshawk's outlook on life and political performance was very consistent with his own standards for selecting and employing people. What do you mean by that? How much money to stay!

"I don't understand this bit of truth, you still pretend to be the commander of the three armies, it really makes people laugh and lose their big teeth! Haha, haha! ”

The goshawk smiled wildly and uninhibitedly, completely ignoring life and death. is so tenacious that many people can't learn it in their lifetime. Once upon a time, the Grand Governor once pondered the question of whether a person's character is trained or innate.

He didn't get an answer until long after he had come back from the dead and was reincarnated as a human being. Human character is innate, and human personality needs to be cultivated. To put it bluntly, whether good is greater than evil or evil is greater than good in a person's body comes from nature. Even if he falls into the dust or is imprisoned due to various coincidences the day after tomorrow, his nature will not be extinguished, "The Shaw Redemption" and "Schindler's List" are the best examples.

And whether you are a person who is cold or approachable, free and easy or cynical, it depends on the environment in which you grew up. Some people are active by nature, but after becoming a monk, they must also endure loneliness; Some people are quiet by nature, but life forces them to do sales, and they have to practice a good mouth.

"I understand this truth, and it is indeed from the smooth road, but it has been misinterpreted by you. The one who is truly ignorant is actually you! ”

Zhou Yu said categorically, and the smile on the face of the goshawk, who was still laughing at him for being ignorant and fearless, suddenly froze, and his eyes looked at the Metropolitan Governor coldly.

"People can be pedantic, they can be lazy, they can be immoral or incompetent, but they can't be without righteousness. What you mean by righteousness is limited to loyalty and kingly servants, and that is a small righteousness. The true righteousness encompasses all living things in the world, covering the stars of the universe and objective laws. In other words, everything that violates the general righteousness will inevitably be destroyed, and even if there is no one else, someone else will come, and even if no one else comes, there will be nature or the moon to destroy the spirit! ”

"Strong words! If there is no small righteousness, how can there be great righteousness? If you can't even do the courtesy of the monarch and the shoulder, let alone purify all sentient beings and save people from fire and water! ”

Goshawk is not a martial artist, he has some speculation about morality and reason, and it is precisely because of this that the governor of the capital will intend to fight for him politically. Judging from the experience of previous lives, there are no more than five channels to win over people, instigate people, use people against people, and win people over: first, political struggle; the second is money buying; third, intimidation and threats; fourth, in-depth dating; Fifth, the beauty plan.

For this kind of upright and loyal die-hard fans, money, intimidation and beauty will not play any role, not to mention that the only two ladies here, Nika and Cathy, can't let go of themselves as bait, not to mention that the Metropolitan Governor doesn't have this habit, and would rather die than give up his daughter-in-law to set up a wolf. Even if he is willing, those two do not have a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is possible to eat Zhou Yu alive.

Thinking about it, only political struggle and in-depth friendship are feasible, and the premise of making friends is that both parties must be all the way, at least on the surface, they must be of one heart and one mind, in order to have a crossing, right? What the Metropolitan Governor is doing now is the process of seeking common ground while reserving differences with the Goshawk General Banner, removing the false and retaining the true.

"Zongqi, let me ask you, what is most important in your heart?"

"Hmph, you don't understand this!"

"Not necessarily, so I'll talk about it first. In my heart, human life is the most important thing. ”

"Coincidentally, in my dictionary, human life is the least valuable, and the most valuable is the glory of soldiers."

"Oh? Then I may ask Lord Zongqi, if no one gives you your life, where will your glory come from? You are an old and lonely family, how far can you go on the road of pursuing the supreme martial arts and seeking the way of the king? ”

"Nobody's dead? The nature of a soldier is obedience, and those who do not do their duty will be killed without forgiveness and will be decided! ”

"Lord Banner, you are wrong, and you are very wrong. Your blind coercion and strong management style will not bring victory, maybe it will still be effective in the face of stragglers, and your blue-helmet warriors will be vulnerable in the face of the regular army. Today's failure, I thought you would understand some truth, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn. It's sad, it's really sad. ”

Zhou Yu walked around the goshawk with his hands behind his back, smiling and looking at the crackling stove in the distance.

In the furnace, the faces of the pupae and the eel are still clear.
