Zhou Pu and Youruo quickly came to Li Mu's side, the scene was tense and very tense.

"Why are there merchant ships crossing the river at night?"

Zhou Pu has been in the household department for many years, and he knows very well that the northern mountains and rivers are raging, and the merchant ships are very cautious and cautious when walking in this kind of place, walking on thin ice during the day, and definitely not sailing at night.

Li Mu's brows were furrowed, and he suddenly waved his knife and pointed at the warship in front of him and said:

"White, they are clothed in white."

Then Youruo also saw in the dark, but in the faint moonlight, he could see a group of people dressed in white.

During the period of war in the Seven Kingdoms, due to the continuous wars in various places, the people were struggling to make a living.

All countries know very well that without the people there is no farming, then the military rations of the countries cannot be guaranteed.

In the long run, it will inevitably enter a vicious circle.

Therefore, in order to make life easier for the people, countries have a customary rule.

Once the fighting began, the people could wear white to show that they were not a threat.

The white coat represents a kind of humanitarian asylum.

Zhou Pu, Youruo, and Li Mu also had some contradictions in their hearts at this time.

It turned out to be white, why did you choose to sail at night?

This is clearly a fraud.

Youruo has followed the empress to the east and west for many years, and she vaguely counted the situation of the crusade against the ancient sword country back then.

At this time, Yu Ruo's eyes were cold:

"Lord Zhou, General Li, have you ever heard of Lu Meng crossing the river in white clothes and deceiving Jinzhou?"

Zhou Pu nodded: "Of course I know, Your Majesty attacked the Ancient Sword Kingdom back then, occupied Jinzhou, and then sent the general Guan Yun to defend it." Lu Meng, the strategist of the ancient sword country, crossed the river in white clothes, deceived the trust of the soldiers defending the city, and finally succeeded in his treacherous plan and lost Jinzhou. ”

Li Mu added: "After Your Majesty learned about this, he was not angry, after all, the general trend of the world has been decided. However, General Guan Yunguan was ashamed of himself because of his own negligence, which led to the loss of Jinzhou. I am the Great Liang Country, and I have lost a fierce general. ”

When the three of them said this, they actually reminded themselves in their hearts that they couldn't rush to Guan Yun's mistakes.

However, a dozen merchant ships on the opposite side are coming, and the archers are already in position, so to shoot or not to shoot?

This leaves them without a bottom.

If the judgment is wrong, it will not bury so many people's lives in vain.

The three of them are not ruthless people, and no one's heart is long, and they will never be able to do anything that has lost their conscience.

Mu Bai is not here, here Zhou Pu is the commander, he pointed ahead and said:

"The fire archers are ready to shoot all the arrows into the river as a warning not to shoot the merchant ships."

"Yes!"

Then a volley of fiery arrows, about three hundred, flew out in unison, but they were all well-trained archers, and the merchant ships were not moving fast, and it was easy to avoid them.

Soon all the flaming arrows were fired into the river.

The merchant ship paused for a moment, but soon there was a sound on the river.

"General, don't let go of the arrows, we are a merchant ship of the Jiangnan Drinking Party, and the ships are loaded with a drinking party, and they will catch fire when they encounter fire."

Hearing that the other party finally revealed his identity, Zhou Pu didn't dare to let people release arrows again.

"The whole army retreated a hundred paces and let them go ashore. Archers are not allowed to release arrows without my orders. ”

Li Mu and Youruo did not object, at this moment, this choice is undoubtedly the best.

But Youruo then also reminded:

"The whole army is on alert, and the shield army had better prepare to meet the enemy."

"Yes!"
