"who?"
"Who are you?"
"Stop!" shouted the Jin soldiers on the Liaowang Tower in Leshan County.
Just now, they heard an explosion from the direction of the enemy and saw flames shooting up into the sky. They didn't know what happened. Then they saw two sneaky people flying into the wall, which scared them. They didn't know if these two people were enemy soldiers.
"Call your General Zhou over and tell him that the Prince of Jin is here!" Shangguan Feiyun said to the soldiers who surrounded them.
"Your Highness the Prince of Jin? You are His Highness the Prince of Jin. I pay my respects to Your Highness the Prince of Jin. May Your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!" When the soldiers heard that the person in front of them was His Highness the Prince of Jin, they trembled with fear and knelt down unconsciously to pay their respects.
"Get up! Go and invite General Zhou." Shangguan Feiyun said to the soldiers.
"I'll go right away, King Jin, please wait a moment!" A soldier immediately ran to the county government office.
This place is quite far from the county government office, and it would take half an hour to run there.
The remaining soldiers were not idle either. Someone brought a table and chairs for Shangguan Feiyun and Li Yun to sit and wait, and also brought them tea. This treatment was a world of difference from that of other people who arrived at the border.
"Your Highness, what happened over there? We heard a loud bang, followed by the screams of ghosts and wolves." A soldier asked Shangguan Feiyun flatteringly.
"Yes, we are really curious about what kind of explosion is that rumbling sound that can make the enemy scream so miserably."
"Was this done by the prince? It's really satisfying."
"It must have been the prince who did it. Didn't you see the prince coming over after those loud noises?"
"Yes, who is our prince? He's the God of War. He's more than enough to deal with the United States of America."
"Now that we have the prince, we are no longer afraid of those bastards. This time, we want to avenge the people of Feishui County."
"Yes, revenge. Damn it! They took advantage of our unpreparedness, opened the city gates, and massacred all our people."
"General Zhou is incompetent, spending his days drinking and having fun. He clearly reported the suspicious enemy presence, but he ignored it. He claimed the enemy was bluffing. His arrogance and stubbornness have harmed the people of the entire city!"
"That's right. If we had been more vigilant, quickly built fortifications, held our ground, and waited for reinforcements from the imperial court, so many people wouldn't have died."
The soldiers began to talk one after another. At first, everyone praised His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. But when someone mentioned the people's affairs, they all started to talk about General Zhou without hiding anything. They became more and more angry, and finally put all the blame on General Zhou.
Judging from their unscrupulous discussions, I'm afraid they often talk about their superiors in this way.
When they talked about the imperial court, they realized that there was a giant Buddha sitting there, and they were so scared that they immediately stopped the topic.
The imperial court? Damn it! They were so engrossed in their conversation that they forgot His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin was here. The soldiers who were discussing this were so frightened that they knelt down in panic.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness. We won't dare to do it again." The kneeling soldiers kept kowtowed, their heads hitting the ground with a thud, but they were completely unaware of it and their voices were trembling.
Talking about your superiors is a serious crime and is punishable by death.
"Do you know what crime it is to gossip about your superiors? You are so skilled, so it must be obvious that you often gossip about your superiors, right?"
"However, if what you said about General Zhou is true this time, I can give you a lighter sentence."
Shangguan Feiyun also felt that this massacre was not a simple matter. He did not expect that General Zhou had such a bad character, drinking and having fun and neglecting his duties.
"Doraemon, scan them and see if what they say is true." Li Yun said to Doraemon with his consciousness.
"Yes, Master." Doraemon said, and began to sweep the soldiers kneeling on the ground.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your mercy! Everything we said was true. General Zhou usually indulges in drinking and merrymaking, and doesn't bother with military affairs. But when he discovered the enemy, he didn't care, saying they were bluffing and were just spying."
"Our sergeant advised him to let General Zhou build fortifications, but he flew into a rage, accusing him of alarmist rhetoric and disrupting military morale. He gave him fifty lashes of the military stick and locked him up. No one dared to speak out again after that."
“That’s right, we are all afraid and we dare not say anything more.
Unexpectedly, two days later, the enemy troops sneaked in. That night, while everyone was asleep, they killed the gatekeepers and let in the 200,000-strong army.
The people we were killing along the way were all powerless civilians. Their screams woke us up and we prepared to fight the enemy.
However, General Zhou ordered us to fight our way out and escape to Leshan County.
This meant abandoning the entire city's people. Our sergeant disagreed, as did many squad leaders, sergeants, and generals. In the end, General Gong left with 10,000 soldiers to hold off the enemy, while General Zhou led us to flee to Leshan County.
“Yes, General Gong led 10,000 soldiers to fight against them.
Only ten thousand men fought tenaciously for two days and two nights before they were completely wiped out.
It was a horrific scene, with blood flowing like a river, and the bodies of civilians, our soldiers, and the enemy were scattered all over the ground."
At this point, the soldiers couldn't help sobbing, tears flowing uncontrollably. Who said men don't shed tears easily? It's because they haven't encountered anything heartbreaking.
“Master, what they said is true. I saw the situation from their fear. It was really horrible.
So many people were being slaughtered right before their eyes, and they were powerless to save them. Doraemon's mood also grew heavy. When it saw the scene through the fear in the soldiers' hearts, it felt terrified and heavy too.
I didn't expect that human wars are so cruel. Did it do something wrong at that time? If it hadn't drawn the United States of America and didn't let its master heal them, would they not have had bad intentions and wanted to take the master for themselves, start a war, and thus harm so many innocent people?
It made its owner save a wolf that repaid kindness with enmity. Was it its fault?
Tiandao: I am also wrong. The human world has its own rules. I should not be so cruel as to let the time traveler save people as a savior. I let the ruthless people think of being a savior, thus harming the lives of so many people.
System: I was wrong too. I shouldn't have helped her draw the United States of America. They are wolves with a ruthless heart. But humans are terrifying. To gain power and for their own selfish desires, they can arbitrarily harm the lives of others.
Doraemon, Tiandao, and the system all reflected on themselves and felt that they were wrong and felt very sorry for the dead humans.
Li Yun knew nothing about their reflections, nor did he want to know.
The incident has already happened, and no amount of apologies or reflection will help.
The most important thing is to avenge the dead people.
"I understand." Li Yun heard what Doraemon said and knew that every word the kneeling soldier said was true.
She couldn't imagine that General Zhou had such a bad character.
If such a person stayed in the barracks, it would only kill the soldiers. It seemed that this person could not be allowed to stay.
How should we kill him? Kill him secretly, or collect evidence and let the emperor kill him? This requires some thought.
If he had someone in the court who saved his life, it would be an injustice to the dead people.
