Chapter 197 It’s none of my business
Wu De stared blankly at the dead body at his feet.
It was a child who was only about seven or eight years old. He looked very well-dressed and must have been a young man from a wealthy family. A spear penetrated the back of his heart and stabbed him to the ground. His chin rested on the ground, one hand stretched forward as hard as possible, and his legs moved forward and back. Thinking about the last moment of his life, he still wanted to crawl forward to pursue the opportunity to live that no longer existed.
The childish face was full of fear, and two lines of tears diluted the stains. Behind him were a dozen people dressed as servants. Without exception, each one of them was nailed to the ground with a spear from behind.
Wu De stretched out his hand to hold the spear, and a picture flashed in his mind.
This group of people were running desperately, and behind them, a martial arts master was laughing loudly, taking the spears from the soldiers, and then throwing them over one by one, nailing these people to death.
Looking ahead, at the intersection of the street, some people dressed as warriors died there.
They were shot into hedgehogs.
I think back then, the group of servants fled with their little master, and these warriors launched a final counterattack to protect the child. However, in front of the army, all their struggles were in vain, and in the end, they all died. Here it is.
On the entire street, corpses were piled one on top of another. The blood stains on the ground had long since dried up, and the entire ground turned purple-black, making it almost impossible to stand.
Turning around to look at the eight guards behind him, seven of them had pale faces. Only Luo Ying pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, but his face was very dull.
“Don’t you think it’s cruel?” Wu De asked.
Luo Ying raised his head and said: "Commander, there are countless such things outside the customs, especially on the border with the Yuan people, and in the black domain. We are all used to seeing it."
Wu De turned around and felt that he was asking too much.
Except for a few places outside the Pass where there are laws, conscience, and human feelings, the rest are all about winning with force, the weak and the strong.
And those few limited places, think about it, are now under Li Dachui's rule.
Even Linghuye is governed by military law. Its harshness and cruelty make people laugh.
But all this is still beyond Wu De's tolerance.
Take a step, there is a porcupine sound, and the feet are immediately dyed with color.
Wu De just glanced at it and strode forward.
Eight guards followed closely behind.
The streets of Jinyang were deathly quiet.
Most of the houses on both sides were closed, and some had their doors open. Without exception, the houses were filled with dead people.
Wu De strode forward with a calm face.
A rare noise finally came from the front. Everyone quickened their pace and walked closer, but their faces changed again.
An officer was walking out of a house with several heads in his hand. In the room behind him, the hoarse begging for mercy of the female family members and the unbearable laughter of the soldiers were heard. .
The officer also saw Wu De.
This time, even Luo Ying changed his expression.
Because the officer in front of me was so terrifying. His face looked like it had been roasted in a fire. He had no eyelids, a crooked nose, and half of his lips were missing. The raised bumps on the hand holding the head were all black and black.
"Is this also performing military duties?" Wu De pointed to the room, his expression extremely ugly.
Everyone knew what was happening in the house at this time.
The ugly officer looked at Wu De and nodded seriously: "Yes, military affairs!"
Wu De was furious: "Do you know me?"
< br>"Know!" The ugly officer nodded again: "When the general went to select people from the army, you stood next to the general."
"Then I am marching according to the law at this moment, do you have any objections? ?”
The ugly officer took a step forward, "Then Commander Wu must kill me first!"
Hearing what the ugly officer said, some soldiers who came out of the room immediately drew their swords and started making noises.
"Shut up! The ugly officer shouted sternly.
With his angry shout, everyone immediately fell silent.
"Why? Wu De's face was extremely ugly: "Why is this?" You are officers and soldiers, you are here to quell the rebellion for the imperial court, you are not bandits, but look at what you are doing now, the bandits are a bit more merciful than you! ”
The ugly officer smiled and said: "Commander Wu, when I led my troops into the Chu army in the Battle of Xiangcheng, I did it in order to allow more of my brothers to withdraw. Even though I was burned by fire, I never Take a step back. In the end, out of a thousand athletes in my team, only seventeen came back. I was lucky enough to survive and ended up like this." Wu De closed his eyes sadly.
“It would be fine if our skills were inferior to others in this battle. We are willing to admit defeat. But the general told us that this battle was caused by these bastards betraying us. How can I swallow this final defeat?"
"The people who betrayed you have been punished!"
"Nothing. Is it related?" The ugly officer sneered: "Who in Jinyang has nothing to do with the Liu family? If someone is involved in the matter, a certain family will cut them into pieces and let them taste the loss of their family. ”
Wu De took a deep breath, looked at the ugly officer confronting him, and then at the more and more soldiers coming towards him. He said no more and turned around to leave.
He suddenly regretted it.
What kind of monster army did you release?
When I accompanied He Zudao to select people from the southern army, I never felt that the people who were selected were so violent, but why did they become like wild beasts after forming an army? .
Jinyang is already like this, what about other places next?
Wu De shuddered.
"Commander, this army is one of the toughest armies I have ever seen!" Luo Ying suddenly said.
“Why do you say that?”
“When they went north, I was responsible for their liaison with the local government for a period of time, and I accidentally discovered that the food and grass prepared for them by the local government as required were all old food. , moldy food, and most of the dishes are rotten.”
“Why didn’t you hear what you said?”
"Because they didn't say anything!" Luo Ying said: "They just ate it up!"
Wu De stopped and looked up to the sky with a long sigh: "They didn't say anything, they They are forbearing because they know what they are going to do next, Luo Ying, just wait and see, if they can return to these places one day, the fate of those who treat them like this will not be much better than these people!"< br>
"It's your own fault, I don't sympathize with these people!" Luo Ying said.
“That’s not the case, not everyone is guilty!” Wu Dedao: “But He Zudao took advantage of their simplest understanding. These people accept death. Damn He Zudao, he is only afraid of Prime Minister Wei. Yin and I were both deceived by this guy.”
“Once when I was with the young lady, I heard Master Sledgehammer say something that I thought made sense.” Luo Ying said.
"What did Li Dachui say?"
"Young Master said, under the avalanche, not a single snowflake is innocent!" Luo Ying said loudly. "And in my opinion, as long as you are contaminated with karma, you will not be able to escape the insidious punishment. We only saw the tragedy in Jinyang and thought these soldiers deserved to die, but what if we also saw the tragedy in Xiangcheng that year? ? It’s hard to tell who is right and who is wrong.”
After hearing this, Wu De stayed for a while and shook his head with a wry smile.
After Yi Zhu Wu's time, Wu De saw He Zudao.
I also saw several women lying in a pool of blood, and Liu Chengdong's head held in He Zudao's hand.
"I'm here to detain Liu Chengdong for trial in Beijing!" Wu De seemed a little angry: "How did you kill him? Once he dies, many secrets can no longer be dug out. He Zudao, are you crazy? You broke the Wei Minister A big deal with Dayin."
He Zudao smiled and raised his hand, and Liu Chengdong's head flew up. When it fell, he flew up with a kick, and with a whoosh, Liu Chengdong's head flew straight into the air. It went up to the sky, crossed the walls, crossed the houses, and didn’t know where it would fly to.
“What a big deal!” He Zudao looked at Wu De and said, “Commander Wu, Prime Minister Wei and the others are going to escort this thing back to Chang’an. I’m afraid they don’t want to interrogate him, but want to fight with him. Is there some kind of exchange of benefits? Or maybe they don’t want to get things done. This guy may go to Chang’an and be well-off and well-off in a blink of an eye. So who am I working so hard for?”
“Why? Zudao, you are not a child, this is not a game. How can you make those people be honest if you don't take advantage of them? You are a general, not a soldier charging into battle. You should know that killing cannot solve the problem!" br>
“I don’t think so!” He Zudao looked at the blood on his hands, and with some disgust pulled off a slightly cleaner piece of clothing from a dead woman on the ground, and wiped it on his hands vigorously: “I think Killing can’t solve the problem, that’s because you haven’t killed enough. Commander Wu, if you kill all the moths and rats, wouldn’t it solve the problem?”
Wu De felt cold all over.
"Are you crazy? Just with the five thousand troops you brought? If you continue like this, you will become a rebel, and armies from all directions will rush to bite you. What's the point? , don’t give those people an excuse to deal with you!”
“You have found a good excuse to deal with the court, Prime Minister Wei and Dayin, right?” He Zudao laughed: “Because! I was sent by them, so if I fail, it will prove their mistake, right?”
“It’s good that you know. He Zudao, your father did it in order to save Daqin in the Battle of Xiangcheng. After making one effort, this time, Prime Minister Wei and Dayin are making a second effort. You don’t want their hard work to go to waste, right?” Floating away, he strode outside.
"It's none of my business!"
These four words made Wu De's eyes darken.
