"Master......"

Xu Ziling's face has changed a lot, and his eyes have lost the aura of the past.

Mo Xiaolou frowned, flashed to his side, and asked:

"Could it be that Li Jing failed?"

Xu Ziling sighed and didn't speak.

Shen Luoyan also turned over and dismounted, and asked eagerly: "Ziling, what happened, tell me quickly!"

Xu Ziling's eyes darkened, revealing a lonely smile, and replied, "We detoured from the west and ran all the way...... Brother Li used the method of rescuing the Han slaves and occupying the steppe on the spot, and finally reached the Turkic king's tent. ”

The two glanced at each other, still not knowing why, Shen Luoyan asked softly, "So, you succeeded, but why are you so frustrated?"

It was noon, and the scorching sun on the Northland was making people feel hot.

Xu Ziling said a little casually: "I separated from Kou Zhong. ”

"Why?"

Xu Ziling showed a painful look on his face, "The two armies are facing each other, and it is inevitable that they will kill each other. But...... But why did they kill civilians? Although those people were of different races, they all had families and children, why...... Women, children, and the elderly...... Why are these civilians unwilling to let go of these civilians who have no ability to resist?"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, the louder he spoke, and in the end, almost with a roar.

Mo Xiaolou looked at Xu Ziling quietly, and his expression gradually became a little dignified. After he finished speaking, Mo Xiaolou said to the left and right: "The whole army will camp on the spot and rest for a while." ”

In the tent,

Shen Luoyan served tea on the side, Xu Ziling and Mo Xiaolou sat opposite each other,

"Xiaoling, tell me the details of this matter. ”

From beginning to end, Xu Ziling told the story of the Western Front's march behind enemy lines in full.

After finishing speaking, Xu Ziling raised his head and said, "Master, Kou Zhong can even do it to an unarmed woman, he wasn't like this before...... We grew up together, and I know his character, although he talks ruthlessly, but only ruthlessly. If you really want him to do it, he can't do such a thing. He...... He's like this because of Celestia Grands!"

Mo Xiaolou took a sip of tea, and a strange look appeared in his eyes: "Huh?"

Under the puzzled expressions of the two, Xu Ziling said again that Kou Zhong liked the eldest princess and wanted to make great achievements and pursue the princess.

Xu Ziling worried: "Kou Zhong has lost his heart, if it continues like this, I am worried...... I am afraid that he will go down the wrong path. ”

When Mo Xiaolou heard this, he suddenly said lightly: "I don't blame Kou Zhong for this, I instructed them to do this." ”

Xu Ziling lost his voice and said, "What, Master, how can you ......?"

Mo Xiaolou showed a smile and looked at his eyes seriously: "For now, this is the best way to solve Beidi." ”

His sharp eyes flashed with a chilling murderous intent, and he said slowly: "All along, my strategy against Beidi is not to kill them all. If possible, when the world is stabilized, I can even open trade routes with all ethnic groups, Han people and barbarians, exchange what they have, and take what they need. But...... These wolf ambitions, if they dare to go to war, do not expect me to be merciful to them. ”

He snorted coldly, "You know, Master has never been soft on damned people. ”

Shen Luoyan looked at Mo Xiaolou's cool expression, his eyes were full of admiration, but Xu Ziling was unconvinced: "Even so, isn't it enough to drive away the invaders? Why kill civilians?"

Before Mo Xiaolou could speak, Shen Luoyan sneered: "Ziling, you are too kind of a woman. When the Turks invaded, did they consider our Han civilians? No!

Every time they break a city, it will be the result of a slaughter. I, the Han people, have tens of millions of dead and wounded!"

Xu Ziling's color changed and said: "What? slaughter the city? This ......"

Mo Xiaolou then asked: "Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. Xiaoling, do you know what is wrong?"

Xu Ziling smiled bitterly and said gloomily: "It's my woman's kindness." ”

"Wrong!"

Mo Xiaolou raised his head to meet the sunshine shining from the top of the tent, "You are not at fault with the kindness of the woman, but at fault - incompetence!"

The words that followed, like a series of cannonballs,

"You have a pure nature, and you can't bear to see civilians die tragically, how can you say that you are wrong?

Everyone has their own rules of conduct and attitude, and there is no right or wrong in these things, so how can they be generalized?

Thoughts, Ideas, Attitudes...... These are unique to each person and distinguish them from others - personality. Personality is the reason and meaning of a person's existence.

Master's approach is not necessarily the best, some people kill millions to determine the world, some people do not kill the world, isn't the method of not killing more clever?

So, at this point, you're not wrong!

What disappointed the teacher was that you and Kou Zhong obviously had their own advantages and complementary personalities, and when there was a disagreement, instead of seeking cooperation to solve the problem, they parted ways. ”

Glancing at Xu Ziling, Mo Xiaolou stood up and sang,

"The world is vast, and the avenues are thousands.

There are no advantages or disadvantages in the way, and those who reach the Tao are the first.

Ziling, you have the way of compassion, but you don't have the way of compassion, you are incompetent.

To live up to the expectations of the teacher and abandon the brother is to be incompetent.

Not being able to stick to one's own ideas and giving up one's individuality is incompetent. ”

Mo Xiaolou's tone rarely became very heavy,

"Under my Guigu Gate, the most taboo thing is-'incompetent'! Ziling, you know that you are wrong. ”

Xu Ziling was silent when he heard this, and thought about it carefully, had he really communicated with Kou Zhong well, and had he thought carefully about the specific way to solve the threat of Beidi?

No. All I have is anger, resentment, and complaining...... These negative emotions obviously won't solve anything.

It turned out that Master supported me and intended for me to check and balance Kou Zhong.

Thinking of this,

His eyes froze, and he suddenly bounced up from the stool, knelt down on his knees and bowed deeply, and kowtowed three times.

"Ziling, I know it's wrong. Thank you Master for your teachings. ”

"Get up. Tonight, the third watch came to my tent to teach the teacher a great method. ”

......

The night was getting deeper.

The Golden Wolf Army went all the way to the east, killing people when they saw them, burning them when they saw cities, and they had broken twelve cities in a row.

On the battlefield, the smell of blood mixed with the smell of corpses filled the sky.

Although it was autumn, the temperature was still very high, and the smell left after days of fighting had become even more unpleasant in this weather, like a dirty and obscure slaughterhouse, and like an Asura purgatory.

Occasionally, there were cries, mostly of children, whose parents hid them and left them alive. It's just that their family can't come back.

Don't think that these terrible things only happened in the places where the Golden Wolf Army passed by, and the entire land of Dingzhou was actually the same as other places.

Wherever these Beidi pass, they will be like locusts crossing the border, and they will never leave a pure land.

Mo Xiaolou's expression became more and more gloomy, and even Shen Luoyan became less talkative.

This is war.

"Ziling. Until now, do you still think those Turkic civilians should not be killed?" Shen Luoyan sighed lightly, his tone a little depressed.

Xu Ziling was silent and gritted his teeth.

In the bleak wind, there were echoes of cries, which should have been all family members who had died, or who had been insulted by Beidi and let them go.

Shen Luoyan wanted to restrain them, but was startled by the indiscriminate biting and screaming of several women.

When the tragedy happened, most of them had a nervous breakdown and went half insane. The lonely figure staggered in the wilderness, making people look sad in their hearts.

If there is another Beidi killing, I hope they can die a good death.

Mo Xiaolou sighed, "Let's go." These people are lost in their minds, and they are no different from death. The only thing we can do is to avenge them and punish them. ”

Born in such a world, even if you have compassion, you can't be compassionate, there are too many tragedies.

However, as Mo Xiaolou said, they still have something to do.

Just as the scouts came to report, it was less than five hundred miles away from the main force of the Golden Wolf Army.

"Good. ”
