The prince actually proposed such a method as slaughtering the city, and even if many of the generals were the prince's brainless fans, they all opposed it.

Whether it was a literati strategist or a military attaché general, everyone dissuaded the prince from giving up such ideas.

Except for one person, Xu Tao.

Xu Tao is a military general who has just risen in recent years, he has superb martial arts, extraordinary bravery, has led the soldiers to defeat the neighboring countries with fewer victories, not only that, but his literary talent is also excellent, he has written several poems, all of which are superior works, and they are widely praised in the country.

After the crown prince proposed to slaughter the city, everyone else objected, but only Xu Tao agreed.

He not only elaborated on the benefits of slaughtering the city and not slaughtering the city, but also chanted a "Killing Song":

"Men are good, be violent. Things and benevolence do not stand.

Men should kill people, and kill mercilessly.

Immortal karma is all in killing.

......”

In this "Killing Song", there is also "Killing one is a crime, and slaughtering ten thousand is a hero." Slaughter 9 million, that is, the male of the male. Such a sentence is almost a matter of treating people as a very sacred thing.

This murder song is very domineering, it ignites all the blood of people, and most of the people present are martial warriors.

However, after being dissuaded by other sensible strategists and literati present, everyone regained their composure.

Although from a certain point of view, what Xu Tao said is not unreasonable.

First, this kind of rot is extremely contagious, and now it is only transmitted at the border gates, but once a sick person escapes out of the border and infects the rot into the country, then this disease will break out in the whole country, and the country will be destroyed in an instant. Therefore, they must eliminate all the sources of the disease, and they must not allow the source of the disease to spread out of the border.

Second, not only the sick, but also what they have eaten, used, worn, and splattered with blood can spread the disease to others, and they must burn it all.

Thirdly, the army of the Eagle Nation is watching from the sidelines, and it may break through the border at any time, and the people here will also be slaughtered. And their army was far inferior in numbers to the Eagle Country, and they had to invest manpower to take care of those who were sick, even if everyone didn't sleep every day, they were still powerless.

From this point of view, it seems that the slaughter of the city is the only solution. Slaughtering the city can not only solve the trouble, but also allow the tired soldiers to rest and meet the enemy in high spirits.

However, although some people were faintly moved by Xu Tao's words, only the prince and Xu Tao really fully agreed with the implementation of this method.

And no matter how the other soldiers and strategists persuaded him, the prince was determined.

After the slaughter of the city, the crown prince's reputation was discredited.

How famous he was, now how much people spurn him!

Even if the crown prince led the troops to temporarily repel the army of the Eagle Kingdom, the common people in the country, the middle- and upper-class officials and relatives of the imperial family, they did not applaud him.

All the prince got was infamy, and many ministers in the court and the central government jointly signed a petition to the emperor to spurn the prince's unkind and violent acts, and asked for the prince to be abolished.

Even the prince's mother and the crown princess were ashamed of this, and the prince could really be called a lonely person at this time.

And that Xu Tao still didn't know what to say, and tried his best to praise the prince's move to be the real benevolence, thinking that the prince should not bear this infamy, listening to Xu Tao's tone, slaughtering the people of a city, it turned out to be such a burden of forbearance, it turned out that this is the real hero, and those who scolded the prince for slaughtering the city are all hypocrites who can only talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality.

Although the prince temporarily repelled the Eagle Kingdom after the slaughter of the city, the people and the generals under him no longer believed in the prince, and the civil and military officials above the temple jointly deposed the prince, and the prince's prestige fell to the bottom, even if he had a thousand good strategies to control the enemy and ten thousand good ways to govern the country, no one listened to him.

The people spurned, the soldiers were scattered, and the grain and grass had not yet arrived. Under such circumstances, the Eagle Kingdom swept back, and the prince led his troops to fight no longer like before, losing and losing, and still losing.

There was not one survivor of the soldiers, and the Eagle ** team broke through the border pass and connected the three cities all the way.

At this time, the emperor finally made a decision to depose the crown prince.

Eagle Kingdom's attack on Wen Guo seems to have been prepared for many years, and after they captured three cities in a row, they were not satisfied, they did not stop, and continued to attack the hinterland of Wen Kingdom.

And the most heroic generals and resourceful strategists of the Wen Kingdom are inseparable from the original massacre. Like the crown prince, they were all scolded by the common people by civil and military officials.

The emperor can only choose another candidate, but the ability and ability of those generals and strategists are far inferior to Fu Yuan's group, in the face of the Eagle Country's brave and good fighting momentum rising again and again, they can only retreat again and again, throwing away their armor.

In just half a year, Wenguo has reached the brink of national ruin.

And the prince ran away because he was spurned, and he disappeared.

Fu Yuan and others were originally convicted of slaughtering the city, but due to the danger of the country, they went to the battlefield again, but at this time, the Wen ** team was not as good as before, and the soldiers were still the same soldiers, but they had lost their fighting spirit and confidence in victory.

No matter how good Fu Yuan and the others are, they are helpless in the face of such a situation.

Fu Yuan was seriously injured on the battlefield and hovered on the line of life and death, and it was only by his will that he was able to take back a life from the king of Hades. But from then on, Fu Yuan's health was weak and weak, and it was difficult to leave the decoction.

After the state of Wen was finally broken, Xu Tao appeared, he led his army to defeat the Eagle Kingdom, and let the army of the Eagle Kingdom repulse, and Xu Tao also sat on the throne after that.

For many years after that, the Eagle Kingdom was beaten by Xu Tao's army and couldn't hold its head up. And the conspiracy of the Eagle Country back then was also exposed by Xu Tao.

It turned out that the remnants of the previous dynasty secretly took refuge in the Eagle Kingdom, and in order to defeat the Wen Kingdom, they made a poison, which made people's bodies rot, their minds crazy, irrational, and hurt others.

Relying on this poison and years of planning, the Eagle Kingdom was able to capture the capital in one fell swoop so smoothly, but this conspiracy was learned by Xu Tao, who secretly trained the army and expanded his strength. Although Wen Guo suffered heavy losses, he finally repelled the Eagle Kingdom......

And at this time, Wenguo was full of holes.

Xu Tao not only had a strong army, but also took out a large amount of wealth and materials and good policies to determine the country, with these, Xu Tao sat firmly on the throne.

He not only gave his subordinates who followed him to fight on the battlefield to give advice, but also used many officials who died in the country.

Some of these officials who died in the country felt that Xu Tao was taking advantage of the situation and was a thief, but some people felt that Xu Tao was much better as an emperor than those rough and vicious Eagle Country people who entered the Wen Kingdom, not to mention, he also repelled the Eagle Kingdom, and from a certain point of view, he also helped Wen Guo take revenge. What's more, from the current point of view, Xu Tao is not bad as the emperor, so many people have taken refuge in Xu Tao because of this idea.

Fu Yuan was recuperating at home due to injury and illness, and it was difficult to get by.

At this time, the deposed prince found him and told him something that surprised him.

The prince told him that Xu Tao's true identity was actually the prince of the previous dynasty.

Fu Yuan had never doubted Xu Tao's identity before, in the eyes of everyone, Xu Tao came from an ordinary family, and there was no problem with his background.

But if you think about it carefully, Xu Tao's parents died when Xu Tao first joined the army. As for the other relatives, Xu Tao has no one.

Also, in that massacre, everyone else opposed the prince's slaughter of the city, but Xu Tao agreed with the prince's brutal decision to slaughter the city.

In fact, if it weren't for the slaughter of the city, the soldiers would not have lost their fighting spirit, even if the Eagle Kingdom won the Battle of the Border Pass, the Wen Kingdom would not be defeated again and again so easily, and there was almost no power to fight back, and finally the Eagle Kingdom broke through the capital and the palace.

Moreover, Xu Tao's powerful army, the astonishing wealth and a large amount of materials cannot be accumulated in a day, but if Xu Tao is the prince of the previous dynasty, then everything can be explained.
