Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 884 Cowardice
Three people escaped, but only one was brought back.

"The other two ran into the miasma forest. Without someone who knows the way to guide them, they will get lost in it soon."

Because Liu Yunxiang asked Feng Zheng to ask about the situation, Vice General Li came here to explain.

"What about that person?"

"in front of."

Liu Yunxiang took Yan Mu and the others over, and saw that the soldier was a young man, probably less than twenty, and was tied to a pillar in front of the barracks by Wuhuada.He looked into the distance, eyes confused.

"Why did you run away?" Liu Yunxiang walked over and asked.

The young soldier came back to his senses, he looked at Liu Yunxiang, his eyes flickered, "You are... you are the princess, I heard that the princess is a bodhisattva, please let them let me go, let me go home! "

"The army has discipline. If everyone flees like you, will there be anyone left during the war? Who will protect the people?" Liu Yunxiang shouted coldly.

"Protect the people?" The soldier snorted, "After the Southern Jin Dynasty occupied Ling'an, countless people were killed and corpses piled up in the city for one day, but we could only watch. We had the will to fight, but we were able People from the Southern Jin Dynasty can't beat them, there is no possibility at all!"

"In this way, it would be good if the Bian Nan army camp is dispersed. Everyone will go back to their respective homes. Even if they will become subjugated slaves in the future, as long as their knees are soft enough, they may be able to live like dogs."

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang was shocked, they were soldiers, they were afraid of the Southern Jin people, they were afraid from the bottom of their hearts, they were desperate from the bottom of their hearts.

"When I left home, my wife was just pregnant, and now two years have passed, and I have not seen my child. I want to go home, just want to go home, I don't feel like a deserter, if I were, Which one is not in the Biannan military camp? It is the great general. During that battle, he led us to escape, abandoned the whole city people, abandoned the soldiers who were fighting fiercely with the enemy, and fled in a hurry..."

The soldier kept talking, his voice getting lower and lower, as if he was not talking to Liu Yunxiang, but talking to himself.

What he said became more and more sad, and some soldiers beside him lowered their heads as if they were deeply moved.Seeing this, Lieutenant General Li hurriedly used a piece of cloth to hold the young soldier's mouth shut so that he could not speak.

"Crown Princess, you are tired all the way, go to the tent to rest first." Lieutenant General Li said.

Liu Yunxiang glanced at the soldier again, and sighed heavily, "How will you deal with him according to the military discipline of your Biannan military camp?"

"One hundred army sticks."

"One hundred?" Liu Yunxiang frowned. She knew that the execution sticks in the army were spiked, not to mention one hundred sticks, fifty sticks could kill someone, "He..."

Liu Yunxiang subconsciously wanted to intercede for the soldier, but she also thought that the punishment was intended to deter her, and if she eased it because of her intercession, if everyone followed suit, it would only cause more trouble.

Liu Yunxiang stopped the tone, turned around and walked inside.

"Vice General Li, how many soldiers did you sacrifice in the battle with the Southern Jin Dynasty?"

"Thirty thousand."

"Thirty, thirty thousand?"

"Yes."

"Then how many soldiers were there in the Biannan barracks?"

"fifty thousand."

Liu Yunxiang couldn't help covering his mouth, so more than half of the battle was lost.

"The Southern Jin Dynasty indeed led an army of [-] to fight against us. They broke the city within five days. We were almost slaughtered by them. If we didn't run in a hurry, the remaining [-] soldiers would have died."

"Are they so brave?"

"Firstly, the soldiers of the Southern Jin Dynasty were brave and warlike, and their methods were ruthless. Secondly, they had a kind of chariot with sharp knives all around. Their men hid in it, and they could fire dozens of rockets at the same time. The fire was very special. Vicious, as long as there are sporadic sparks splashing on the body, it will immediately catch fire. Many of our soldiers were cut to death and burned to death in this way. I am not afraid to tell you that in that battle, we were like the prey of the Southern Jin people , were crushed and killed by them, and those who survived in the end were only because they ran fast."

Lieutenant General Li smiled wryly as he spoke, and after he finished speaking, he remembered the person Liu Yunxiang was standing after the battle, and immediately shuddered.

Liu Yunxiang looked back at Yan Mu, seeing his serious face, reached out and took his hand.

"So after that battle, you hid here?"

Vice General Lu paused for a moment before saying: "After that battle, many of our soldiers were terrified. Some had nightmares at night, and even...some even went crazy. Later we went to this canyon, that's good. some."

How many wars these soldiers have experienced, how much blood has been stained on their hands, they must be strong enough, they were so frightened.Even if Lieutenant General Li talked about the scene at that time, it was hard for her to imagine it.

Lieutenant General Li led them to an empty tent, invited them in to rest, and then went to deal with the deserters.

Liu Yunxiang and the others went in, and after sitting down, they didn't speak for a long time.

"If the peace talks fail this time, and a big war is about to break out, then these soldiers..." Liu Yunxiang said and looked at Yan Mu, "I'm afraid they can't be counted on."

It is estimated that they have not been on the battlefield yet, and when they mentioned the Southern Jin army, they were scared to death.

But peace talks are definitely not going to happen, and another big war is bound to happen.[-] against [-], in the case of an absolute superiority in numbers, they were actually massacred unilaterally, this...

"The Southern Jin peace talks invited us Darong, Beijin and Xiyue. The reason why we invited the other two countries is to deter them and prevent them from forming an alliance with us." Yan Mu said.

Since coming here, what they saw and heard was really hard to digest for a while, and the four of them fell silent again.

When it was dark and after dinner, Su Hui sobered up.

He hastily came to the tent to make amends, "The general has nothing to do with drinking, please punish the princess."

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, and then let Su Hui in.

This Su Hui came over in a hurry, his hair was still messed up, his armor was not on, and he smelled of alcohol, as soon as he rushed in, he knelt down at the door, "Princess, please punish me!"

Liu Yunxiang glanced at Yan Mu first, and then asked: "General Su, can you drink freely in the Biannan barracks?"

"In times of war, you must not touch a drop of alcohol, and deny the stick thirty."

"Is there a difference between up and down?"

"No difference."

After asking this question, Liu Yunxiang fell silent.

Su Hui kowtowed and said, "The last general will go to receive the punishment!"

"No hurry, I still have a few words to ask you."

"Excuse me, the princess."

"General Su thinks that we can make peace with Nanjin this time?"

"This……"

"You might as well just say it."

"can."

"Oh?"

"They have no intention of destroying Great Rong, they only want the Thirteenth City in Lingnan."

"So as long as we are willing to cede the thirteen cities, they will conclude a peace covenant with us?"

"Yes."

"Who told you that?"

Su Hui was silent for a moment, then said: "Their envoy."

"So you met their envoys privately, and secretly escorted them to Beijing to have secret talks with the emperor, right?"

"Yes."

Liu Yunxiang closed his eyes, then shouted coldly: "General Su, I don't think you can be so confused!"
