After this news came out, there was a lot of discussion among the soldiers, which can be said to have caused an uproar, and for a while, everyone was talking about this matter.

Among the soldiers who discussed the matter, there were also mixed reactions.

Many veterans of many years of war immediately accepted this result. After years of war, they have long understood that sooner or later war will kill people, and no one of them is an exception.

People who are alive just happen to be alive, they don't die, they are the darlings of God, because they have seen too many comrades-in-arms around them fall and die instantly.

To be alive is to be lucky.

The only ones who are most afraid are those recruits who have just joined the army, who carry the hopes of their families, and the vast majority of them are children born from ordinary poor families.

Their parents saved money and let them practice martial arts, join the army, and fight for fame and fortune to change their fate.

In every previous war, they were afraid, but after all, they survived, and there was no demand to fight to the death, and they still knew that there was hope for survival.

But this time, they were asked to write the farewell book, and for the first time they sensed the threat of death.

This time they will definitely be sacrificed here, although Dali is prosperous, but they may never be able to go back.

This night, many soldiers did not sleep, and the cold wind blowing in the cold north under the night, even their hearts sank to the bottom of the valley and became cold.

……

Early the next morning.

The officers and men of the whole army are ready to go.

"Guys, did you sleep well last night?" Fang Yi stood on the high platform and asked questions to the soldiers below.

Beside him, there were several other generals, some careful soldiers, who had already noticed that even Luo Shenhou was standing next to this Lu Jiu general.

Of course, they already knew last night that Luo Shenhou had already given all the tokens to this Lu Jiu general, and from now on, this Lu Jiu general would be the commander-in-chief of their battle against the barbarians this time.

No one answered.

Fang Yi didn't care, but continued to speak: "Actually, I don't need you to answer, I also know what the situation is, you probably didn't have a good rest last night." ”

"Because, it's going to be a fight to the death."

Fang Yi opened his mouth lightly at this time, not so much like he was at the oath meeting before leaving, but more like he was talking about a trivial matter.

As if it weren't they who were going to go to war next.

"Your Majesty has made a decree, let me wait to defend the Yumen Pass, and I will be attacked by the enemy, and I can't spare anyone to help us, either we die, the Yumen Pass is broken, or we will defeat the barbarians, you and I will go back alive, we have no other choice."

"Have you written all the farewell books??" Fang Yi asked again at this time, but this sentence was still asked lightly, there was no bitterness and hatred, it seemed that it was not them who were about to go to the battlefield, so there was no need to care so much.

"Written." At this time, there was a sparse answer from the audience.

The few generals behind Fang Yi, after seeing the scene in front of them, suddenly showed some worries, at this time, the big battle was imminent, their soldiers reacted like this, it seemed that they were cowardly before fighting, this was a bad omen for the division.

Of course, this is no one's fault, mainly Fang Yi's decision last night, Fang Yi had laid out all the unfavorable conditions for them in advance, no wonder these soldiers were a little worried and afraid.

It stands to reason that the military order passed down by Fang Yi last night should not have been passed out at this time, and it should have been fought first.

But after saying that, he also asked these soldiers to write a farewell letter, and now, all the disciples knew what was going to happen and what was going to happen next, and this time, the morale was hit, after all, who wants to fight to the death with the barbarians, and it is even possible that they will not be able to return to their hometown.

So this time, the morale of the soldiers on the field is not high.

But military orders are like a mountain, as several generals, especially those who have always followed Luo Shenhou, who has always been known for the strictest management of the army, these generals have long practiced the habit of obeying military orders.

Even if they feel that something is wrong, they will never question the manager's orders.

Especially now that the great enemy is now, if none of them obey Fang Yi's orders and don't stand with Fang Yi, then no one will obey Fang Yi.

This is a simple truth, so no matter what Fang Yi does at this time, or what Fang Yi does, they will not express any opinions, but just wait for Fang Yi to give orders.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to face a fierce battle." Fang Yi's tone became serious at this time, and he took out a letter from his arms: "This is my farewell book, I have also written it, and several other generals have also written it." ”

At this time, the three generals of Luo Shenhou, the Northern Expedition, the Protector of the Country, and Weiyuan also followed Fang Yi and took out a farewell letter from his arms, which is the practice and tradition of the Dali army.

"In this battle, we will fight to the death like all of you." Fang Yi continued to speak: "Please rest assured, if you want to die in battle, before this Jade Gate Pass, we must die first, and we will never let the brothers go first." ”

"However, at this time, there is something to say in the front." Fang Yi put away his farewell book at this time, then glanced at the people in the audience, and then spoke: "You all knew last night, this is a battle to the death, that is to say, either you die or I die. ”

"Moreover, against the barbarians, our chances of victory are not great, and it is even very likely that all of us are killed in battle, and we will not be able to kill too many barbarians." Fang Yi continued to speak at this time: "In other words, in more plain words, it is very likely that our people will die here in this battle. ”

"But in order not to let the brothers die in vain, so I am here today to say a word, if you don't want to continue fighting at this time, in the name of the commander of the whole army, I approve that you can leave the team now, and you don't have to continue to participate in the next war." Fang Yi's words at this time can be described as loud.

All the soldiers in the field, when they heard Fang Yi's words at this time, everyone was shocked, at this time, a person looked at Fang Yi with an incredible face, I don't know why Fang Yi actually said such a thing at this time.

Even the other generals, Luo Shenhou was a little incredulous at this time, and they all looked at Fang Yi.

What did he mean by this, allowing them to escape in public??

But no general had ever dared to say so before the war began, never.

However, a few of them are accustomed to seeing Lu Jiu, who is used to being imaginative, this General Lu Jiu has always surprised them, and the part of leading troops to fight has always surprised them, but at the same time, Lu Jiu has never lost with his troops to fight, and he has never overturned, and every time he has won the final victory with an unexpected feeling from everyone, it has been like this from the beginning, and it has never changed.

So they won't be able to stop it at this time.

"Really, can you really let us go??" At this time, a soldier asked, and he wept bitterly: "I have an old mother and a young sister, and I can't die here." ”

As soon as this soldier cried, all the other soldiers felt the same way, and for a while, many soldiers stood up: "General Lu Jiu, really, can you really let us go??" ”

"Yes, right now." Fang Yi nodded at this time, and then gestured slightly, at this time, several soldiers brought a table, on which was full of gold, silver, and meat, as well as extremely precious water.

"Register here, and receive gold, silver, and meat, and water." Fang Yi smiled at this time and said, "This is my entanglement for you." ”

"But one thing can be made clear, although you will not be regarded as a deserter if you leave today, I allowed it, but the fame and rewards you have achieved before will never be fulfilled from now on, and after you go back, you must also live incognito and live a good life." Fang Yi spoke again at this time.

"As for the compatriots who are left today, I am afraid that they are killed in battle, I, Lu Jiu, promise you today, no matter what, you will all leave your name in history, and your family and descendants will inherit your grace and live a rich life." Fang Yi continued to speak at this time.

There is nothing wrong with what Fang Yi said at all, you are not willing to continue to die for Da Li, although you have paid blood and sweat before, but you have no credit, otherwise, this is unfair to those soldiers who died in battle today.

They chose to live in secret, instead of the horse leather shroud, and naturally they had to suffer the consequences of all this.

Of course, those who have died and these soldiers who are willing to continue to hold on at this time will naturally have different treatment.

There is no doubt about this, everyone agrees.

Whether you stay or choose what you want to leave, there will be no opinion.

The reason why Fang Yi did this, in the final analysis, was to mobilize in front of the station, and with the blessing of the Soldier Saint Command, Fang Yi calculated that if he wanted to defeat the barbarians this time, there was only a thirty percent chance.

And these three percent opportunities appear in the right time, place and people.

For example, from the very beginning, Fang Yi was sure to use the method of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, only by improving the heart of the whole army to die will there be a glimmer of life, and it is possible to win more with less, and it is possible to achieve victory.

And the premise of this art of war is that all the officers and soldiers of the whole army are determined to die, and only in this way can their potential be continuously stimulated, and in the end, there may be a glimmer of opportunity.

The problem of people and people is being solved now, and these soldiers must not have any problems.

Therefore, it is necessary to solve those problems that may arise first, especially those who may escape from the battle, it is better to let them go first, but not to drag everyone back.

……

At this time, people had already completed the registration one after another, and received the coils and meat that Fang Yi had given them, and they could leave freely, and they would no longer need to continue fighting against the barbarians.

Of course, these people are still a minority, and only now have hundreds of them completed the registration one after another, and the vast majority of the soldiers are standing in place, motionless.
