Guan Xing's "Heavenly Fire" plan, in addition to burning hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people, there are also an unknown number of Han people who were unfortunately burned to death, these Han people are not in time to move away or are unwilling to move away, mainly the old and weak who are difficult to leave their homeland.

The second division naturally did not care about this, and in addition to saying that it would kill and wound the enemy, it would inevitably cause some losses of its own people. As the old saying goes, killing a thousand enemies will cost you eight hundred, so all people in the military are used to seeing life and death, and they look very lightly at death.

The difference is that this time the 2nd Brigade caused the deaths of its own personnel not by the troops, but by the civilian population. If his troops had more casualties, he would definitely pay attention to it, but now that they are some old and weak among the common people, Guan Xing doesn't care even more.

However, it was precisely because he did not anticipate the seriousness of this matter, ignored the possible adverse effects of this matter, and did not take any control measures, that he caused him a great trouble.

Originally, in this battle, Guan Xing destroyed the most powerful tribe of the Xianbei people's military strength, and also captured the enemy chief Kebineng and 50,000 Xianbei cavalry, whose credit can be said to be greater than Zhang Bao, after all, although Zhang Bao also destroyed the root of Budu, however, he let Budugen escape with a large group of cavalry, which can be said to be unfinished.

Judging from the results of the battle, Guan Xing's battle is undoubtedly much better than Zhang Bao, but because of a large number of civilian casualties, he was impeached by the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, and both the government and the opposition condemned him.

The battle report of the second division has just been sent to the imperial court, Liu Hou is also long-faced, of course, there is no mention of civilian casualties in the battle report, only meritorious service, no one will find themselves uncomfortable at this time, and report those accidental injuries and accidental killings. According to the general situation in the past, the bigwigs of the DPRK and China also knew very little about what happened on the border battlefield thousands of miles away.

Generally speaking, they believe what is said in the war report, and rarely investigate the authenticity of the war report, which is one of the reasons why many border generals have always falsely reported their war exploits without fear of being exposed. Border generals often write defeat as winning a battle, and write about killing dozens of heads as killing thousands of enemies, and even killing good people and pretending to be the heads of Hu people, and so on.

Due to the high mountain and the emperor's distance, at that time, the transportation was inconvenient and the means of communication were backward, and it was very difficult for the central government to understand the actual situation in the locality, and the people were even more confined to the local area, and it was difficult to travel far away, so there was nowhere to appeal if there were grievances. All this has made it convenient for the border generals to falsely report their military exploits.

There are even some border generals who have their hands and eyes open to the sky, they loot huge amounts of wealth and bribe the senior officials of the DPRK and the central government, so that they can say good things for themselves, and the central and local officials are up ~ down ~ its~ hands, embarrassed and colluded to deceive the emperor, so that some of the evils are known to everyone in the world, but the emperor is the only one who is kept in the dark. Therefore, the emperor is not so easy to do, and it is even more difficult not to be a faint king.

But that was the situation in the past, now it is different, since the last time Liu Hou made a newspaper in order to fight against the public opinion war of the Wei State, all this has changed, and the appearance of the first newspaper is like opening Pandora's box and releasing a monster. Since the first newspaper, Dahan Bao, appeared, countless private newspapers have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and Liu Hou had to ask Liu Yan to quickly formulate a newspaper management method, and the Propaganda Department will register and manage all newspapers in a unified manner.

With a newspaper, there will inevitably be reporters, and of course, reporters in this era are not called reporters, but "collectors". The nature of the profession of journalists is destined to run all over the world and gather news everywhere. Wherever there is a hot event, they drill into it.

The border front line where the Han army and the Hu people fought was naturally the place that attracted the most attention in the world at present, so the first generation of war correspondents was born, which was full of messengers hired by various newspapers, who continuously transmitted first-hand information about the battlefield back to their newspapers, and then published them after sorting them out to attract the attention of readers.

At the beginning, Guan Xing was interviewed by several newspaper editors, and at first he thought it was quite novel, and he was very happy and honored that his words could be published in the newspaper, but he got tired of being interviewed too much, especially because these collectors were like pervasive flies, drilling everywhere in the barracks and military districts, digging up news everywhere, and they were simply tireless.

In particular, when the "Tianhuo" plan was being implemented, many things needed to be kept secret, so Guan Xing had to expel all the envoys from the barracks and military districts, and strictly forbade them from touching any military secrets. This move also offended many collectors, and also laid the foundation for Guan Xing's later impeachment.

The envoys were unable to enter the barracks, but they persistently ran around the war zone, digging up news materials everywhere by all means. Finally, the hard work paid off, and these collections finally unearthed a major piece of news, that is, the Second Division was forcibly relocating the Han people in the war zone.

They don't know the truth~ They think that the Second Division's move is too domineering, and it is an act that seriously disturbs the people and seriously infringes on the private rights and interests of the people. Of course, this is a statement translated into the vernacular, and it is natural that among them there will be brilliant people who will polish the matter into a flowery article and publish it in the newspapers, criticizing the Second Division as a heinous warlord.

Later, the Second Division set the fire unexpectedly, not only burning countless Xianbei people, but also several wind collectors. When the fire came, several people happened to be interviewing the old and weak people who stayed behind, so they became roast pigs.

Seeing the tragic death of their peers, where can they still sit still, they have written articles criticizing the Second Division, believing that they are greedy for merit and reckless, and disregard the life and death of the people for their own military exploits, causing the lives of the people in the war zone to be ruined.

They vigorously scolded the Second Division, believing that they had rashly set fire to the fire without promptly informing the people of the evacuation, resulting in hundreds of civilians being burned to death; as everyone knows, due to the need for military secrecy, the Second Division did a thorough job of keeping secrets in launching the "Heavenly Fire" plan, and the timing of the launch was also carefully chosen.

All this arrangement is a very successful case in the military, if it is not launched so suddenly, as long as a little news leaks to the Xianbei people, this plan is likely to fall short, and it may be the second division that will fail at that time. Guan Xing considers the problem from a completely military point of view, where can he take into account the reaction of the people and the damage of the people.

However, these envoys look at this issue from a completely different angle and from the standpoint of the common people, so that the two sides will naturally have differences, and where there are differences, there will be conflicts, and where there are conflicts, there will be struggles, and when the forces of both sides of the struggle are very strong, the intensity of the struggle can be imagined. So, as soon as Guan Xing came down from one battlefield, he immediately fell into another battlefield, which was a battlefield without gunsmoke.
