"These 60,000 prisoners of war were brought back by me from the First Battle of Bianshui, and they are prisoners of war in our army, whether you wait or not, General Li Xian, they have no right to dispose of them."

He Shan's faces stiffened, and the voice finally said very clearly: "If anyone wants to take them away, they can ask the saint for a holy decree, and when I see the holy decree, I will naturally not stop it." ”

Ask for a holy decree from a saint?

The faces of the two Luoyang officials changed slightly.

Don't say that the flood is in the way now, if you want to go to Beijing to ask for advice, it will take more than ten days to go back and forth at the earliest...... By then, the rain might have stopped, their mistakes had already been made, and it would be too late to kill more prisoners of war!

Besides, how could a saint have made a clear decree on this matter?

Although it is said to be the killing of prisoners of war, but the sacrifice of living people to heaven will inevitably be criticized by people with hearts, and it is understandable for them to adopt this method urgently, but if the saint openly decrees to announce it to the world, is it not an obvious opportunity to give people an opportunity to make a fuss and attack the saint?

If the emperor wants to win the hearts of the people and avoid slander, many words are destined not to be said in person, and many things need to be done by the hands of his courtiers.

They will go crazy to ask the saint for this matter, and the saint will be crazy to agree to give an edict for this matter!

Thinking of the washed away Fengxian Palace, and thinking of the rumors that took advantage of the situation, one of the Luoyang officials couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Only by transferring the cause of this flood to these prisoners of war can the rumors that are unfavorable to the saints be completely quelled!

These people are just prisoners of war, and if they die, they will die, so why can't they be killed?

Did this General Ning Yuan kill fewer people on the battlefield?

So, is she trying to keep these insignificant prisoners of war, or is she young and vigorous, relying on a bit of military merit, and wants to show off her power in front of them, and deliberately makes them unhappy?

In their view, it's more like the latter.

These generals, who have always been famous for their military achievements, are suddenly praised highly, and they will always be contaminated with the arrogant atmosphere that they think they are majestic but are actually unreasonable!

Faced with her unreasonable plea at this time, He Shan asked in a fixed voice: "...... Didn't General Ning Yuan understand the seriousness of this matter? ”

"What kind of onion do you think is a dog jumping under the wall and stepping on crooked green onions, and you dare to open your mouth to ask my general if he knows the severity!"

Shebucha drove two steps forward, came to Chang Suining's side, raised his eyebrows and reprimanded: "When my general was killing the enemy in Bianshui, you didn't know which corner of Luoyang City to retreat in!" Our general is the greatest hero of the Battle of Bianshui, how can it be your turn to be a nobody! ”

Shepherd's head is relatively simple, but she now believes in one thing, even if she wears this armor, military merit is their greatest confidence.

He Shan's face sank when he heard this, and a Luoyang official beside him couldn't bear it anymore, and pointed his finger at the shepherd's cabbage: "Where did the ignorant shrew come from!" ”

Shepherd's cabbage sneered: "I'm ignorant, but several adults know everything, including long before this rain turned into a flood, my general ordered me to wait for the starry night to gallop to Luoyang, so that Luoyang City could prepare early, but you didn't take it to heart and didn't deal with it in time, so that Fengxian Palace was washed away as soon as possible!" ”

"You don't want to take this responsibility, so you try to put the blame on these prisoners of war, and let them take their lives to fill this rotten hole for you.

She couldn't think of a deeper battle between the Luoyang clans, but because of this, the effect of angry people was better.

“…… It's nonsense! ”

In the face of this slashing words, the two Luoyang officials were almost speechless with anger, and soon, they put on a posture of "not competing with the ignorant shrew" and turned to look at Chang Suining.

"General Ning Yuan allowed this woman to spit ignorant and slanderous words, could it be that this woman's words are also General Ning Yuan's opinion?" The officials who questioned him were word-by-word, with solemn faces, and put on official authority, once again reminding Chang Suining of the "severity" in this.

However, the coercion he unleashed seemed to be unable to get close to affecting the girl on the horse.

Chang Suining looked at him and corrected: "She is not an ignorant woman, she is a meritorious sergeant under my command. ”

"I think I have made it very clear, the army has its own military regulations, and such wanton killing and sacrificing of prisoners, unless it is revealed by the Holy Decree, I will never release them."

She raised her eyes and swept over the people and horses brought behind several people: "As for taking them away with other possibilities, if you have the heart, you can also give it a try." ”

As soon as her words fell, He Wuhu and the others behind her immediately drew their swords and waited, exuding a fierce spirit that had not been eliminated.

The soldiers who surrounded her were all on guard, and the atmosphere was tense and imminent.

Seeing this, the two officials subconsciously took a step back, their faces pale and pale.

"Do you want to try?" The girl on the horse actually smiled at them and encouraged: "As the saying goes, there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts." ”

This smile made the two officials feel a chill on their backs, like a man's back.

Afraid of someone with a heart? I'm just afraid of someone with a heart...... Become a lifeless!

They weren't fools who stepped forward when a knife was in their throat.

One of the officials stopped the dissatisfied He Shan and said coldly, "...... Since General Ning Yuan is unwilling to do this convenience today, we will leave first! ”

With that, he threw up his sleeves and left the place.

And so it went...... How to explain to the general! After leaving Chang Suining's sight, He Shan said in a deep voice.

"Can't General He see it, this little girl's style is very arrogant, if she really makes a move......

"......" He Shan, who was covering his arm, looked at the arrow stuck in his arm...... What do you mean that if you make a move, isn't it already done to him!

not only dared to do something to him, but also dared to speak out and let his general go to ask the saint for advice.

Sure enough, I made some contributions, but I don't know how many pounds and taels I have......

This move by the other party is also equivalent to indirectly offending the saint...... Such an arrogant and forgetful idiot, and see how many days she can be proud!

"General He doesn't have to be as knowledgeable as her, and it is important to treat the wounds first." Another relatively calm official sneered and said, "You must know that the person who is really in charge of this army is not her turn to do it." ”

This sentence reminded He Shan.

The errand is important, he doesn't have to compete with this little girl for the time being, the little girl doesn't know the severity, but Xiao Min should always know!

He immediately ordered his subordinates to inquire where Xiao Min was at this time.

In addition, he sent a group of fast riders to return to Luoyang first to explain the matter to Li Xian.

Chang Suining jumped off his back and splashed muddy water under his feet.

Captain Bai stepped forward, lowered his voice, and explained to her the story of those prisoners of war who took the knife and resisted.

The body of the prisoner of war, who had been impaled through the chest with an arrow from He Shan, had been carried down.

Chang Suining walked up to the group of prisoners of war who were under control and asked, "Who is the one who took the lead in snatching the knife and provoking the riot?" ”

"It's me!" The burly man, with his hands tied behind his back, admitted without hesitation.

Chang Suining looked at him: "What's your name?" ”

"Huang San!" The man's sun-spotted face tensed, he looked at the girl in front of him, and he didn't know what kind of psychology he was in, and he tried to explain to her: "They shot Junko first, we just don't want to die!" ”

There was no sympathy on the girl's face, and she said calmly: "But as a prisoner of war, you are violating military rules if you provoke a riot." ”

The man gritted his teeth, and there was no more delusion in his heart.

He closed his eyes: "I am the leader in this matter, if you want to kill, kill me!" ”

The clear voice without emotion sounded: "Twenty military sticks are blamed to set an example." ”

"Yes!"

The man was stunned, dragged aside, and pressed on the execution bench, until a military stick fell on him, and the pain came, which made him come back to his senses in an instant, and he snorted.

Chang Sui Ning watched him being punished not far away.

Whether it is a prisoner of war or a soldier, as long as he is in the army, he must abide by military regulations.

Just as soldiers rub and fight with each other, the reason for doing it is not important, if the "innocent" convenience does not have to be punished, then everyone will have a fluke mentality to test the bottom line of military regulations.

Military regulations brook no room for temptation and provocation.

Even if she knew that the resistance of these prisoners of war was forced by He Shan and others, she still needed to punish them to maintain the authority of military regulations.

After the twenty beatings, Huang San lay on the bench, unable to move in pain.

Twenty sticks is definitely not a light punishment, if the physique is slightly worse, it is enough to die.

At this moment, he was covered in sweat, his teeth trembled, and he raised his bloodshot eyes to look at Chang Suining.

Chang Suining's gaze swept to him, and also to those prisoners of war: "Today's matter is good in these days, and today's situation is special, so I will only punish him slightly, and I will reveal it." However, if there is another riot after today, all the participants will be beheaded and will not be tolerated. ”

The prisoners of war responded with a look of trepidation.

"Again—" Chang Suining looked at them and said, "Since I promised not to kill those who surrendered, I will never break my word." After this flood, I will take you back to Jiangnan. ”

- Back to Jiangnan?!

The POWs looked at her in disbelief, their dirty faces now shining with a sparkle of hope.

Chang Suining: "I know that most of you were forcibly recruited by Xu Zhengye, and your family members were also looted and even killed by Xu Zhengye's own soldiers, and becoming Xu Jun is not what you want——"

"But the state has national laws, the army has military regulations, and it is also a fact that you followed Xu Zhengye to commit the crime of treason, if you are not punished, everyone in the world can follow suit." She said: "When you return to Jiangnan, you need to serve as prisoners of war to atone, and those cities that have been broken and destroyed by you need to be rebuilt." ”

"We ...... We do! Some prisoners of war choked up and said, "We are willing to serve to atone for our sins!" ”

They have never been willing to follow Xu Zhengye, and among the homeless refugees in Jiangnan, there are also their parents, wives and children.

Xu Zhengye was defeated in Bianshui, and they were even glad that this was finally over.

They are willing to surrender because they want to save their lives, as for what they will face after becoming prisoners of war, although they don't know, they have never dared to hope that they can go back to Jiangnan and go home!

Even if they returned home as prisoners of war to atone for their sins, they should indeed atone for their sins...... As long as they can go home, it's the best outcome for them!

They said, "We are all willing!" ”

Although no one needs to ask them if they want to...... But, that's the mood!

Some prisoners of war burst into tears and couldn't help but whimper and cry.

The man who had been beaten with twenty sticks was dragged over, and he looked at Chang Suining: "...... Is General Ning Yuan's words true? ”

Chang Sui Ning also looked at him: "What's the use of lying to you." ”

Hope surged in the man's heart, but he still didn't dare to believe it: "Can General Ning Yuan really call the shots in this matter?" ”

When he asked this, he saw that the girl really showed a thoughtful look.

The man's heart hung high and he looked at her for a moment.

For a moment, I saw the other party smile: "I think I can." ”

"My general killed that thief!" He Wuhu patted his chest and said: "The saint has said it, what reward you want, let my general choose it himself!" ”

When the man heard this, he gritted his teeth, and tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.

Seeing that Chang Suining turned around and left here with Captain Bai and the others, he turned his head and watched the figure walk away in the thin rain and mist.

"Does the general really want to take them back to Jiangnan?" Captain Bai asked, or was it just a casual reassuring reassurance, so that they would not riot again?

"The land south of the Yangtze River is fragmented and needs a lot of manpower to rebuild, so why can't we use them when we are employing people." Chang Sui Ning said: "And where the Xu army crossed, most of the young and strong men were forcibly requisitioned, and most of these conscripted people were killed and wounded, and now there are only more than 60,000 people left...... There were even many literate people among them. ”

is different from the pro-soldiers who followed Xu Zhengye at the beginning, in the final analysis, before Xu Zhengye raised the army, they were just ordinary people.

She was not a merciful person, and she had done the brutal act of killing all her captives, but that was to treat the aliens, and in the face of those fierce aliens, all she could do was to be more fierce and brutal than them.

But these prisoners of war are her Dasheng's people, and their own family members have something to do, so they should be punished and not killed.

And now, in addition to internal worries, there are also external troubles, and the indiscriminate killing of these 60,000 strong prisoners of war is also to reduce the strength of Dasheng to resist the enemy, which is really undesirable.

These are just some of her considerations.

Chang Sui Ning didn't say anything more about this matter with Captain Bai, and instead said, "Where is the boss helping the disaster now?" Let a trustworthy person go and spread a message to him, and let him hide it well, so that he may not be found. ”

She would never hand over these prisoners of war to Li Xian, but it was most appropriate for her to come forward in this matter, anyway, she has always been arrogant and arrogant.

And Xiao Min's position is different, she doesn't want him to be involved.

Hengzhi is now in a disaster relief emergency, and the whereabouts of the news everywhere are not transmitted in a timely manner during the flood, and it is normal to find no one within three or five days.

Captain Bai would respond and immediately went to make arrangements.

Yao Ran was silent all the way and followed Chang Suining back to the tent.

Chang Suining changed into a dry robe, spread out his half-wet hair and draped it behind his head, and when he came out from behind the screen, he saw Yao Ran still standing in place in wet clothes, his expression was uncertain.

Chang Suining sat down cross-legged after stacking the military affairs documents, and then asked her, "What's wrong?" ”
