"Dajiang said that he is worse than beasts. Isn't it like him when you kill prisoners now?" Chu Jiu pointed to the bench and said, "Sit down."

"The Lord means, let's just forget it." Zhao Dajiang sat obediently on the bench with a heavy breath and said, "I'm not willing to do so. Those are good men, and they are the most brave to kill the enemy." His voice became hoarse and choked, "I'm so unjust!"

They are all brothers who have followed him for many years, even closer than their own brothers!

When Chu Jiu heard this, he closed his eyes, forced the water vapor in his eyes back, and looked at him and said, "I know. Let's only eliminate the evil."

"Although I'm not willing to give up, Dajiang and the others were once the navy of Yanting, and they were still colleagues with you!" Yao Changsheng tilted his head slightly and looked at him, "Some fishermen who are as bitter as water roots to make a living by the river."

"Oh!" Zhao Dajiang angrily patted his thigh and sighed unwillingly, and suddenly looked up at Chu Jiu and said, "The master cannot give them a bargain, and cannot let them feed them for free and eat and drink, and let them take their cool labor."

"We have to work even if we have people! How can we get them cheaper!" Luo Tianyou said without thinking.

"No, send them back." Chu Jiu said slowly with clear eyes looking at them.

"Master, what did you say?" Zhao Dajiang was so anxious that all the northern words came out.

After working with Yao Changsheng for a long time, his words were affected a little.

"I said I would send the prisoners back." Chu Jiu looked at him with a calm look and said word by word.

"Master, it's already a special kindness for us not to abuse them. Why are you sending them back?" Zhao Dajiang looked at him in confusion and said, "I can't understand that although they are not the chief evil of the Southern Han King, they are also accomplices, and the knife in their hands is also covered with the blood of their brothers."

"In order to win the victory of this battle, to disrupt the morale of the Southern Han King, to make more military officers surrender, and to accelerate the demise of the Southern Han King." Chu Jiu said his thoughts in one breath, "and even more so as to reduce the casualties of his brothers."

"Big River, the overall situation is the most important thing!" Yao Changsheng looked at him with deep and upright eyes.

"Uh..." Zhao Dajiang took a few deep breaths and said in a stern voice, "I'll listen to the Lord."

Chu Jiu smiled in his eyes and said, "Then let's put them back."

"Master, what about those injured! Some are still treating them, what should I do?" Yao Changsheng asked with amber eyes looking at him.

"Ask them your opinion! Those who want to leave will be sent back, and those who don't want to leave will stay." Chu Jiu thought for a while and said.

"Then they definitely don't want to go back. It's so comfortable here! There is a doctor who specializes in treatment, so how can you get this treatment when you go back!" Zhao Dajiang said snorting softly.

"If you don't go back, the King of Southern Han will find out. I wonder if it will make things difficult for his family." Luo Tianyou thought for a while.

"No." Yao Changsheng said confidently with deep eyes looking at him.

"Deputy Governor Yao is so sure?" Luo Tianyou said in surprise.

"The King of Southern Han can't even go back, how can he make things difficult for his family?" Yao Changsheng said with a chuckling.

Luo Tianyou suddenly realized, "Yes, yes!"

"Since you want to send it, please send it back as soon as possible." Chu Jiu looked at them with quiet eyes and said, "We should also pay tribute to the brothers on both sides who died in this battle."

"Memorial?" Yao Changsheng said in surprise, looking at him in surprise.

"Disassemble the morale of the Southern Han King and let them continue to split, and it is best to fall apart." Chu Jiu said with clear eyes at them.

"Yeah!" Zhao Dajiang nodded quickly after hearing this.

"Then let's prepare, prepare!" Chu Jiu ordered directly.

Dong!

The sound of drums, the thick sound of drums, seemed to explode the calm lake, hitting everyone's eardrums and hitting everyone's hearts.

Dongdongdongdongdong...

The sound of drums shook the sky, with a magnificent momentum, as if it had come from eternity, solemn and solemn, and lasted for a long time.

Chu Jiu's warships lined up on the lake. Except for the combatants who stood firm, the other soldiers stood upright on the deck.

Chu Jiu appeared on the deck of the command ship wearing golden armor, and under the reflection of the sun, he shone goldenly, like a god of war.

Everyone looked at Chu Jiu with solemn expressions.

Chu Jiu walked slowly to the altar, with his eyes compassionate and sincere faced the sky. The clear lake surface, his head slightly drooped, and his knees slowly knelt down.

Whoosh...

On the raised sail, two elegiac couplets slid down from the top, and the brushes on the elegiac couplet were neatly written, as if they were everyone's eyes.

For soldiers who are literate, they can clearly see that the left couplet: A piece of loess buried loyal bones in one piece;

Right couplet: Three petals of heart fragrance hang the heroic soul.

This elegiac couplet lies in the sky, with an unprecedented solemn and dignified feeling, and a bit of sadness and tragic emotions permeating the river.

Even though the soldiers knew that today was to pay tribute to the dead brothers, their eyes immediately turned red, and time seemed to be frozen. They raised their heads and watched the elegiac couplet on the sails, with their eyes reluctant to blink.

The soldiers of the King of Southern Han who were about to be sent away were gathered on the deck. Their uneasiness gradually calmed down. Only then did they understand what the General Chu of Jinling was doing?

Unexpectedly, General Chu actually knelt down to sacrifice for the souls of the dead!

The battle on the water was too tragic. The howling and screaming sounded like echoing in the ears.

Chu Jiu knelt in front of the altar, and walked step by step, accompanied by too many battles, fighting, countless blood and killings, years of war, and many heroes were buried in a foreign land.

How many innocent people have lost their families during the war, displaced, and even died inexplicably.

"Oh..." Chu Jiu sighed softly, waved his hand, and took three burning incense candles that were as thick as fingers from Yao Changsheng.

"Heaven and earth are witnessed, and the sun and the moon are witnesses. Today, I set up an altar to pay homage to the dead souls who died in order to save all people and water and fire!" Chu Jiu's low and thick voice came to the entire navy.

After the words came, Chu Jiu bowed respectfully and solemnly three times.

"May many souls rest in peace after I bow three times!"

Chu Jiu had a dignified expression, a majestic voice, and his voice seemed to be small, but everyone could hear it clearly.

The King of Southern Han could see clearly through his eyes, and snorted coldly, "Pretending to be a god."

After the Chu Jiu's memorial service was completed, someone sent the prisoners back to the position of the King of Southern Han.

The King of Southern Han saw his army sending it back intact and cursed, "He is a man who is despicable and shameless, pretending to be a good person. He is trying to disrupt the morale of the orphan army, he dreams!"

Even if you know that someone surnamed Chu is acting, you can't say it so carelessly. This is a verdict.

"Prince, Prince!" Military Commander Wang quickly appeased the King of Southern Han and said quickly, "It's too sunny outside, let's go in." I hope to persuade the people away soon and wink at others. Since I was back, these military officers were properly placed.

The captured brothers were sent back, and they knew very well what formation Chu Jiu had set up. Now they could only hold it in, and they would never wave the butcher's knife to confuse the morale of the army.

&*&

After the Chu Jiu's memorial service was over, his mood was a little ups and downs. He couldn't calm down after returning to the cabin for a long time.

Chu Zeyuan snuggled beside him, only to find that his father was in a low mood, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

After experiencing more than a year and seeing the cruelty of war, Chu Zeyuan looked at him with black grape-like eyes and said, "The major affairs of the country lie in sacrifices and war!" His eyes said with a firm look, "I just hope there will be no war in the future."

"You boy." Chu Jiu raised his hand and rubbed his head and said gently.

"Dad, this battle is almost over!" Chu Zeyuan said to him with pure eyes.

"Why do you think of home?" Chu Jiu looked at him and said.

"Yeah!" Chu Zeyuan nodded heavily, "I miss my mother and brothers."

"It's almost done." Chu Jiu looked at him with gentle eyes and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it will be only one or two months."

"That's great." Chu Zeyuan said happily.

"You can go home, I have to wait." Chu Jiu patted his shoulder and said.

"Why? Can't Dad go home with me?" Chu Zeyuan looked at him in confusion and said.

"The King of Southern Han has been so terrible that he is full of devastation. I have to let everything go on track here." Chu Jiu looked at him with clear eyes and said, "But you can go home first."

"I'll stay with my father." Chu Zeyuan blinked and struggled for a while and said to him.

"I don't want my mother and brothers!" Chu Jiu said with a doting look at him with drowsy eyes.

"I want to!" Chu Zeyuan looked at him with bright dark eyes. "But Dad is alone, and there is not even a person to accompany him. Mother has younger brothers to accompany me. I will stay with my father."

"Okay!" Chu Jiu looked at him gently and said, "Follow dad, listen more, watch more."

"Yeah!" Chu Zeyuan nodded obediently.

&*&

On the deck, Zhao Dajiang watched the altar being withdrawn and the elegiac couplet was taken down from the sails.

"Deputy Governor Yao, I don't know if this is an illusion. Why do I think the Lord's tribute to us include our enemies!" Zhao Dajiang approached Yao Changsheng and said in a low voice.

"This is not an illusion, you are right." Yao Changsheng said with a slight look at him with his black eyes.

"Why?" Zhao Dajiang immediately looked at him with his eyebrows raised and said dissatisfiedly, "They should go to hell."

"Hey! Why do you care about all the people? As for whether to go to hell or not, it was judged by the King of Hell." Yao Changsheng looked at him and shook his head and laughed, "Why don't you believe that the King of Hell judges their lives impartially!"

"I don't dare to do it." Zhao Dajiang said in great awe.

"They rose up to stutter for the sake of stuttering. What is the slogan of the rebels?" Yao Changsheng suddenly asked with amber eyes looking at him.

"Save all people from water and fire!" Zhao Dajiang said without thinking.
