"I hope everyone can clearly distinguish between right and wrong." Dugu Beigong suddenly sneered.

"I hope so. Qin Yong also nodded. Although this Fan Xing is worthy of admiration as a person, he is too pedantic. This is not likeable.

"Well, I'm afraid we will be facing the opponent's attack tomorrow. We'd better rest early. Dugu Yanyun suddenly said: "Refresh yourself today, so you can kill the enemy tomorrow!"

"Brother Dugu said what he said was so serious that Qin Yong nodded and said: "However, the general should still go to the city wall for inspection. Lingli Khan is very insidious, so we can't fall into his scheme."

"Then I'll thank you Qin Lang." Dugu Yanyun didn't refuse and said, cupping his hands towards Qin Yong.

"You're welcome, Qin Yong stood up and said calmly. The two of them separated at that moment, one of them rested, and the other went to inspect the city wall.

The next day, a shrill cry woke Dugu Yanyun up from his sleep. In an instant, he heard the rumble of drums outside. It was obvious that the army had begun to attack the city. Dugu Yanyun did not dare to neglect, and quickly put on his armor.

He led his soldiers and rushed towards the north gate wall.

As soon as they climbed up the city wall, they saw Qin Yong's face was solemn, Zhao Gongcun's face was full of anger, and Fan Xing was looking down and stamping his feet. He was shocked and couldn't help but look towards Qin Yong, only to see Qin Yong looking at the bottom of the city.

Pointed.

Dugu Yanyun looked over and saw countless figures slowly approaching outside the North Gate City. These people were in ragged clothes, as if they were people in distress. Dugu Yanyun opened his eyes wide and gritted his teeth tightly.

The lips, even the lips were broken and bleeding. It turned out that these people were not Turkic soldiers, but people from the Central Plains. Apparently, the army suddenly went south to attack the Central Plains. It was unknown how many towns were conquered and how many Central Plains people were captured along the way.

These people were captured by them and then became their slaves to work for the Turkic nobles. This situation happens every year, but it is rare like today. Thousands of people from the Central Plains,

Forced by the Turks, they came towards Shengzhou, obviously to conquer Shengzhou. Look behind these people, following these countless Turkic soldiers, with bows and arrows, high-rise watchtowers, slowly approaching. As long as the defenders of Shengzhou counterattack

If so, it is possible to accidentally injure one's own people. Do the Tang Empire's bows and arrows have to be aimed at their own people? At this moment, even Dugu Yanyun didn't know what to do? He couldn't help but just looked at Qin Yong, here Qin Yong

Yong is not only a disciple of the emperor, but also the guard of Shengzhou. Dugu Yanyun has the right to make suggestions but not to make decisions.

"Order the archer to get ready! After a long sound, I saw Qin Yong's face was gloomy and his eyes were filled with cold light. His whole body seemed like a piece of ice. Ling Leng looked at the bottom of the city, as if there was nothing there at all.

.

"Shoot an arrow?" Fan Xing's eyes widened. He stood up suddenly, stood in front of Qin Yong, and said loudly: "General, why shoot an arrow? You must know that the people under the city are also the people of the Tang Dynasty! My bows and arrows from the Tang Dynasty

How can it be used to deal with those innocent people of the Tang Dynasty? Your Majesty is based on benevolence today. The general is your Majesty's disciple, how can you do such a thing?"

"Whether we kill them or not, we all have to die." Zhao Gongcun sighed deeply: "It is better to die by being insulted by the Turks than to be shot to death by us. Dying in our hands is at least better than dying in the hands of the Turks."

It’s better.”

"Absurd!" Fan Xing stood up fiercely and said loudly: "Ants can still survive, let alone humans? What right do we have to decide their life or death?"

"If they don't die, Shengzhou City will probably be captured by the Turks. What will happen to the people in the city then? What a pedant," Dugu Yanyun said coldly.

"This?" Fan Xing thought thoughtfully: "Anyway, these cannot die in our hands. Otherwise, in the future, the imperial officials and officials will not know how they will be recorded in the history books. How can you withstand this kind of infamy?"

"?" As soon as the words came out, Zhao Gongcun and Dugu Yanyun fell silent. No matter what the reason was, they all had something to refute. There is no way to refute this sentence. It doesn't matter whether you are a civil servant or a civil servant.

Regardless of military generals! They all pursue this kind of thing. Shooting innocent people of their own side with bows and arrows, no matter what, there will probably be no good records in history.

"If this is the case, I, Qin Yong, bear the responsibility alone, and I serve as the general to defend Shengzhou. Then I will have the final say, pass orders, and shoot arrows in Shengzhou! Anyone who is within the shooting range, no matter if it is Han.

Whether they are Turks or not, they are all enemies. Shoot arrows for me."

"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!" Dugu Yanyun's eyes moved, and he suddenly woke up. Yes. He was ordered to come to Shengzhou to defend against the Turks' attack. If Shengzhou is lost, he will face it

In this military law, it is certainly wrong to shoot innocent people. But these innocent people may lead to the fall of Shengzhou. At this time, if you don't be ruthless, I am afraid that when you die, you will be the one who dies. By then, the history books will

Will you leave a name for yourself? Maybe, maybe not. You can't see these things. In that case, why not give it a try.

Following the orders from the two generals, the defenders on the city wall no longer dared to wait. They opened their bows and arrows and shot down the city. In an instant, a black cloud of smoke appeared in the sky and shot from the sky.

It fell and hit the city, and there was a sudden scream. The people under the city, and even some Turks hiding inside were shot to death without even a little resistance. Under the city wall, there were countless corpses. The blood was stained red.

The land under the city. After a round of arrow rain, the battlefield was silent. The soldiers on the city wall also put down their bows and arrows. Bote, who was in the Turkic army outside the city, also looked at the people on the city wall in surprise. He too

Unexpectedly, the generals of the Tang Dynasty were so cruel that they could shoot their own compatriots with bows and arrows.

"What a ruthless man. He even dares to kill his own people. Bo Tie sighed for a long time. Suddenly he sneered: "If you dare to kill even your own people, then let you kill as many as you can. Come on.

, carried these lambs to the city walls, and then shouted to the defenders on the city, telling them to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise, a thousand people would be killed every hour, and their ancestral graves would also be dug.

Once the city is broken, we will massacre it, if they can surrender. When we break the city, we will do no harm to them.

"Yes!" The soldiers drove the horses and passed the order to the army. In an instant, there were sounds of howling wolves, and pairs of Turkic soldiers were seen escorting the captured Han people.

"Beasts, bastards." Fan Xing reacted suddenly, stepped forward, grabbed Qin Yong, and said viciously: "Did your Majesty hand over people like Gan Chong? Do they all like to kill innocent people indiscriminately?"

"I am willing to shoot me to death if I can save the people of this city." Qin Yong looked cold and said coldly: "If Mr. Fan doesn't like it, at worst, you can write to your majesty and ask him to execute me.

.”

"Do you think I can't?" Fan Xing snorted coldly.

"Look, what do they want to do?" Dugu Yanyun suddenly pointed to the city and said. Everyone quickly looked outside the city. Even Fan Xing was no longer in the mood to teach Qin Yong and also looked toward the city.

"No, he is threatening us. What should we do?" Zhao Gongcun was also anxious now. When everyone was wondering, they heard a shout from the city.

"Tang Dynasty generals on the city, listen. If you don't open the city and surrender, we will kill a thousand people every hour. After killing everyone, we will dig up the ancestral graves outside the city. Once the city is breached, we will

Massacre the city. If Kaicheng surrenders, our general will promise not to harm the people in the city."

"These people are really vicious." Dugu Yanyun slammed his palm on the city wall. In this era, digging up people's ancestral graves is a very despicable act. Unless both parties have sworn hatred, this behavior will also be considered illegal.

It is criticized by people; and families whose ancestral graves are dug up will fight to the death to protect their ancestral graves from being dug up.

"What should we do?" Fan Xing had a sad look on his face. Few people outside the city have anything to do with Shengzhou, so the defenders of Shengzhou can harden their hearts and shoot arrows, but if the opponent wants to move

As for the ancestral graves outside the city, it's different. I'm afraid the Shengzhou defenders won't obey orders because of this.

"General, this is going to be bad," Zhao Gongcun said with a frown.

"What's so scary? Can they really break through the city and massacre it?" Qin Yong looked cold and snorted: "As for the ancestral graves outside the city, we can just wait for the general to defeat them and then build them again.

I don't even know where the ancestral graves of my family are." Zhao Gongcun smiled bitterly when he heard this. The general in front of him is good at fighting, but it's a pity that he doesn't know how to deal with the world!

"General, please tell me what to do now." Fan Xing stood up, his face pale, as if Fan Xing had aged a lot at this moment. His eyes were cold and ruthless, and he was looking coldly.

Looking at Qin Yong...

"These people who stay in the Turkic camp are all dead. They don't even have the right to die. It's a blessing to be killed by the other party now. There is nothing we can do. You don't want me to do it."

The army rushes out! They are looking for death." Qin Yong's voice was low, but there was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

"What about the ancestral graves outside the city?" Fan Xing asked again with his lips curled up. "After the general defeats Li Li, we can bury them." Qin Yong sighed and said: "Master Fan, there is no other way.

Please forgive me, Mr. Fan."

"Hey, I can understand, but I don't know if the people in the city will understand." Fan Xing sneered: "Look at the thousands of soldiers on the city wall. They are all soldiers of Shengzhou. Can they understand?

It's not my problem anymore. I'm going down first. General Qin is the main general here. It doesn't matter if you want me or not.

"As he said this, he ignored Qin Yong's shouts and walked down the city wall.

"Let's go down! They won't attack today." Qin Yong sighed, shook his head and said: "These things are beyond our control. General Dugu, I leave this place to you.

, Anyone who comes within the range of my bow and arrow, no matter who it is, will never be merciful."

"What the general said is true. The Turks did this to intimidate the people in the city and force the general to surrender." Zhao Gongcun also said: "Although the general's move can be criticized by him, from a military perspective, the general's move is not wrong.

, although the people outside the city are miserable, they are few in number and cannot be compared with the people of Shengzhou. Although the graves outside the city are the ancestral graves of the people in the city, think about it, if Shengzhou City is occupied by the Turks, these people will

They will become fish meat on the Turks' chopping board and let others do what they want. Even if they are evacuated, they will be taken to a foreign country. How can there be time to come back and clean up the withered grass on the ancestral graves! As long as a person is alive, there is hope.

If a person dies, there is no hope left."

"What Mr. Sir said is true, but although Mr. Fan thinks so, Master Fan doesn't think so." Qin Yong sighed and said: "He is the envoy of a city, and his ideas are not wrong. But that's it.

The overall situation is a little worse. Talking about credit with Turks is no different from talking to animals. Back then, the emperor and Lili Khan made two covenants, but they were easily torn up by the other party, let alone talking about credit with a small governor like him.

, this so-called guarantee is nothing but nonsense. As soon as the city gate is opened, there will be no room for Mr. Fan to speak. This Mr. Fan is too naive."

"Actually, General, these are not scary. What is scary is the people in Shengzhou City! Shengzhou is on the south bank of the Yellow River. Unlike Fengzhou, Turks come to attack every year. The people here are very strange. The Turks' account

The hatred is far greater than that of the people on the border. What's more, these people still have a glimmer of hope for the Turks. Once they hear that they will do no harm to the people in the city, I'm afraid they will be moved in their hearts!"

"Is this really going to happen?" Qin Yongmeng, who was just about to mount his horse, took his feet back and looked at Zhao Gongcun in surprise: "Shengzhou is of great importance. It is a big chess game for the general. This Shengzhou is in

The little general who played an important role among them took the risk and asked me to lead more than 10,000 cavalry to rescue Shengzhou. This is so that we can rely on Shengzhou. Not only must we hold back a certain amount of the opponent's troops, but we must also defend the Yellow River ferry at the critical moment.

, no matter what happens, we will destroy the Yellow River ferry, trap the Turks within the Great Wall, and destroy them."

"General, do you really think so?" Zhao Gongcun's expression also changed.

"It should be so." Qin Yong nodded and said: "Otherwise the general would not have done this. It is not so easy to train more than ten thousand cavalry. If we die in battle, if we spoil the general's plan, then we will

Something bad happened. The imperial court dispatched 500,000 troops at once in order to defeat the leader and eliminate the threat from the northern grasslands once and for all. Now that the leader has penetrated deep into the Central Plains and stopped in our territory, there is no need to worry about logistics and food.

, if they were allowed to go deep into the grassland, it would be a clever idea. I heard that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought against the Huns, he mobilized countless people to participate in the war. Although in the end, under the leadership of two famous generals, Wei and Huo, they were defeated.

The Huns, but the strength of the Han Dynasty was also reduced by most. It is because of this consideration that Your Majesty launched the decisive battle at this time. Whether this Shengzhou exists is the key to it. "

"If this is the case, Shengzhou cannot be lost." Zhao Gongcun nodded and said, "The general has been working hard for a day. Let's take a rest for now. The city of Shengzhou still depends on the general!".

"Okay, Mr. Changshi, please help yourself." Qin Yong nodded. Just like that, he got on the horse and headed towards the post house. Little did he know that Zhao Gongcun behind him looked gloomy.

"Go to the Governor's Mansion!" Zhao Gongcun thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said to the entourage beside him. After saying that, he got on his horse and went to the Governor's Mansion to discuss with Fan Xing.

"What's going on?" As soon as Zhao Gongcun arrived at the Governor's Mansion, he saw people crowding in front of the Governor's Mansion. His expression changed and he asked quickly. The followers around him did not dare to neglect and jumped off their horses quickly.

He ran to the crowd to inquire. After a while, he ran back, walked to Zhao Gongcun and said a few words softly.
