Chapter 884: Cowardice
Three people escaped, but only one was brought back.
"The other two ran into the miasma forest, and without someone familiar with the road to guide them, they would quickly get lost in it."
Liu Yunxiang asked Feng Zheng to ask about the situation, and Vice General Li came over to explain.
"What about the man?"
"At the front."
Liu Yunxiang took Yan Dusk and them over, and saw that the soldier was a young man, estimated to be less than twenty, and was tied to the pillar in front of the barracks at this time. He looked into the distance, his eyes confused.
"Why are you running away?" Liu Yunxiang walked over and asked.
The young soldier came back to his senses, he looked at Liu Yunxiang, his eyes flashing, "You are...... You are the crown princess, I heard that the crown princess is a bodhisattva, please let them let me go, let me go home! ”
"The army has military discipline, if everyone runs away like you, will there be anyone in the war, who will protect the people?" Liu Yunxiang shouted coldly.
"Protecting the people?" The soldier sighed, "After the Southern Jin Dynasty occupied Ling'an, the city was slaughtered for a day, hundreds of people were killed, and the corpses were piled up into a mountain, but we can only watch. We also had fighting spirit, but can we beat the people of the Southern Jin Dynasty, we can't beat it, there is no possibility at all! ”
"In this way, it's good that the Bian Nan military camp is dispersed, and everyone goes back to their respective homes, that is, they will become slaves in the future, as long as their knees are soft enough, they can live like dogs."

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang was shocked in his heart, they are soldiers, they are afraid of the Southern Jin Dynasty, they are afraid from the bottom of their hearts, and they are desperate from the bottom of their hearts.
"When I left home, my wife was pregnant, and now two years have passed, and I haven't seen my baby. I want to go home, I just want to go home, I don't feel like I'm a deserter, if I am, which one of the Bian Nan military camps is not? It was the great general, who fled with us during that great battle, abandoning the people of the city, and the soldiers who had fought with the enemy, and fled in a hurry......"
The soldier kept talking, his voice getting lower and lower, as if he was not talking to Liu Yunxiang, but talking to himself.
His words became more and more sad, and some of the soldiers next to him were deeply touched, and they also lowered their heads one by one. Seeing this, Vice Adjutant General Li hurriedly strangled the young soldier's mouth with a piece of cloth, making him speechless.
"Crown Princess, you are tired all the way, go to the tent to rest first." Vice General Li said.
Liu Yunxiang glanced at the soldier again, and sighed heavily, "According to the military discipline of your Bian Nan military camp, what will you do with him?" ”
"A hundred staffs."
"A hundred?" Liu Yunxiang frowned, she knew that the staff used to carry out executions in the army was hung with spikes, let alone a hundred rods, fifty rods could kill a person, "He ......"
Liu Yunxiang subconsciously wanted to intercede for this soldier, but he also thought that this punishment was originally for deterrence, if it was reduced because of her plea, if she did not accept the public, everyone would follow suit, and there would only be more trouble.
Liu Yunxiang took the sound, turned around and walked inside.
"Vice General Li, how many soldiers did you sacrifice in that battle with the Southern Jin Dynasty?"
"Thirty thousand."
"Three, thirty thousand?"
"Yes."
"How many soldiers did Bian Nan have in the barracks?"
"Fifty thousand."
Liu Yunxiang couldn't help covering his mouth, so he lost more than half of this battle.
"The Southern Jin Dynasty did lead an army of 30,000 to fight against us, and in less than five days to break the city, we were almost slaughtered by them, if we didn't run in a hurry, I was afraid that the remaining 20,000 soldiers would also die."
"How brave are they?"
"First, the soldiers of the Southern Jin Dynasty are brave and warlike, and the means are ruthless, and the second is that they have a kind of chariot, the car is surrounded by sharp blades, their people are hiding in it, and they can also launch dozens of rockets at the same time, the fire is particularly fierce, as long as there are sporadic sparks splashed on the body, it will immediately catch up. How many of our soldiers have been cut to death and burned to death in this way. I'm not afraid to tell you that in that big battle, we were like the prey of the Southern Jin Dynasty, we were crushed by them, and in the end we survived just because we ran fast. ”
Vice General Li smiled bitterly as he spoke, and only after he finished speaking did he remember the person Liu Yunxiang was standing after the war, and he immediately shuddered.
Liu Yunxiang glanced back at Yan Dui, saw that his face was solemn, and reached out to take his hand.
"So after that war, you hid here?"
Vice General Lu paused for a moment before he said: "After that battle, many of our soldiers were frightened, and there were nightmares at night, and even ...... There were even crazy ones, and then we got to this canyon, and it got better. ”
How many wars these soldiers have experienced, how much blood they have stained on their hands, their hearts must have been strong enough, and they were scared like this. Even if Vice Admiral Li said the scene at that time, it was difficult for her to imagine.
Adjutant General Li led them to a vacant tent, invited them in to rest, and then went to deal with the deserters.
Liu Yunxiang and the others went in, and after they sat down, they didn't speak for a long time.
"If this peace talks fail and a big war is about to break out, then these soldiers ......," Liu Yunxiang said and looked at Yan Dui, "I'm afraid I can't count on it." ”
It is estimated that before they went to the battlefield, when they mentioned the army of the Southern Jin Dynasty, they were stupid first.
However, peace talks will certainly not be negotiated, and another big war is bound to be. 50,000 against 30,000, with an absolute superiority in numbers, was actually slaughtered unilaterally, which ......
"The Southern Jin Dynasty peace talks invited us Da Rong, Bei Jin and West Vietnam, and the reason why we invited the other two countries is to deter them and make them dare not form an alliance with us." Yan Du said.
Since coming here, what they have seen and heard has been really indigestible for a while, and the four of them have been quiet again.
Wait until it gets dark and has dinner, and then Su Hui wakes up.
He hurriedly came to the tent to make amends, "The last general is drunk and has no condition, please punish the princess." ”
Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, and then let Su Hui in.
This Su Hui came over in a hurry, his hair was still messy, his armor was not worn, and he still smelled of wine, as soon as he came in, he knelt down at the door, "Please punish the princess!" ”
Liu Yunxiang glanced at Yan Du first, and then asked, "General Su, can you drink at will in the Bian Nan military camp?" ”
"In time of war, he will not drink a drop of wine, and deny thirty rods."
"Is there a difference between up and down?"
"It's no different."
After asking this, Liu Yunxiang was speechless.
Su Hui kowtowed and said, "The last general will go to receive the punishment!" ”
"Don't worry, this palace still has a few words to ask you."
"Princess, excuse me."
"General Su thinks that this time we can negotiate peace with the Southern Jin Dynasty, can it be done?"
"This ......"
"Let's just say it."
"Yes."
"Oh?"
"They don't have the intention of destroying Darong, as long as the thirteen cities of Lingnan."
"So as long as we are willing to cede the Thirteen Cities, they will make a peace pact with us?"
"Yes."
"Who told you?"
Su Hui was silent for a moment and said, "Their envoys." ”
"So you secretly met their envoys and secretly escorted them into Beijing to have a secret conversation with the emperor, right?"
"Yes."
Liu Yunxiang closed his eyes, and then snorted coldly: "General Su, I don't want you to be so confused!" ”
