Chapter 250 No One Left Behind
Song Huaian spoke hurriedly.
"Master Jun, you are busy. If there is anything we can do for you, please let us know."
Jun Moye nodded slightly, took Su Hanchu's hand and left.
Soon, a handkerchief was stuffed into Fang Bailin's mouth, and Lu Zhan personally led his men to escort him to the front to prepare for battle.
General Cao looked at Lu Zhan who was leaving with Fang Bailin and spoke.
"This young master is quite convincing."
Song Huaian spoke slowly.
"How could anyone in the entire northwest not submit? Young Master Jun is only twenty years old, yet despite a huge disparity in military strength, he managed to turn the tide with his wisdom and strategy. Now we have all the soldiers and food we need, and our brothers can even eat meat. How could anyone not submit?"
Lu Zhan took Fang Bailin to the place where they were preparing for battle. Of course, the people here were basically all new recruits led by Li Xiao, that is, people from the northwest. Of course, there were also many people trained by the Jun family among them.
Seeing Lu Zhan leading Fang Bailin over, everyone who was roasting by the fire or chatting looked puzzled.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know?"
"That soldier is still being held. I wonder what crime he committed?"
"I'm afraid the mistake I made is not small. Master Jun has always been tolerant of everyone..."
Lu Zhan quickly spoke loudly.
"Brothers, this man, Fang Bolin, colluded with Chen Wenlin in the Northern Wing and attempted to burn the grain. Fortunately, Young Master Jun was prepared and was able to capture him without causing any major disaster. His family has already been killed. Fang Bolin will be executed on the spot. Chen Wenlin needs to ask him to identify his accomplices and will be temporarily detained. I hope everyone will take this as a warning. Young Master Jun said that in the face of national crisis, those who kill the enemy will be rewarded according to their merits, while those who harbor evil intentions and attempt to collude with the enemy and betray the country will be executed with their entire clan."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhan drew his sword and instantly cut Fang Bailin's throat.
Fang Bailin touched his neck out of habit, his eyes wide open, he was extremely unwilling but couldn't utter a word, it seemed as if he was going to pop his eyeballs out, but he soon ran out of breath and died with his eyes open.
Although the recruits were new, they had experienced the battlefield and were not frightened by the death of one person. They were just whispering to each other.
"What? They're actually going to burn our food supplies. Damn it!"
"That's right. He deserves death. He actually colluded with the Northern Wing. Isn't that treason?"
"Fortunately, Master Jun is wise and has noticed their conspiracy. Otherwise, what can we do?"
Lu Zhan tore through Fang Bailin's armor, wiped the blood from the sword on his inner garment, and then slowly put the sword away.
"Brothers, Master Jun and Madam Jun are kind-hearted. They always rush to the front in battle. Even though the imperial reinforcements and food supplies haven't arrived yet, Master Jun and Madam Jun have teamed up with the host of Minji to prepare enough food for us.
For the sake of our homeland, our families, and our fellow countrymen, we must unite as one and defeat the Northern Wing. We are born Tianyuan people, and Tianyuan blood flows in our bodies. No matter what interests we face, they should not be a temptation for us to betray our country.
When the recruits heard this, many people spoke up hastily.
"Captain Lu, rest assured. We are loyal to Tianyuan. Since we have joined the barracks, we are ready to face death."
"Yes, as long as we survive, we will fight."
"Yes, I must kill a Northern Wing soldier before I die."
Looking at everyone's reactions, Lu Zhan nodded with satisfaction.
Although Master Jun's method of using civilians as soldiers can provide more manpower in the absence of reinforcements, there will be spies hidden among them. Otherwise, the Fang and Chen families would not have been able to sneak in this time. Fortunately, a lot of people have been trained before to keep an eye on this place.
"Throwing people into mass graves."
After giving the instructions, Lu Zhan also left.
But suddenly it occurred to him that according to what Chen Wenlin confessed, Madam Shen was also involved. He didn't know if it would have an impact on Second Miss Shen, who cared so much about Madam Jun's opinion.
At this time, it is on the building of the city wall.
The Chen family was detained here.
Chen Wenmin looked at Chen Wenlin in the cell next door with a face full of grief.
"Brother, why are you doing this? Since we have arrived in the northwest and settled down, although our life may not be as prosperous as before, we can still get by with a little hard work. Why do you have to go against the Jun family? The Jun family has already done us a favor by not holding a grudge against us."
Chen Wenlin looked at Chen Wenmin, his face full of helplessness and a bit of disappointment.
"Not caring about it is already a favor? Chen Wenmin, your family is all fine, so you can naturally say such indifferent words, but my mother is dead, my wife is dead, my two daughters are dead, I have nothing left, how can I not hate you?"
Seeing this, Chen Wenmin spoke hurriedly.
"But big brother, you are the eldest son of the Chen family and the backbone of the Chen family. You must always consider the Chen family. Moreover, Sibo has always respected you as his father. Even if you don't have children in the future, Sibo will provide for you in your old age."
Chen Wenlin frowned after hearing this.
"But they are my mother and my wife, Chen Wenmin. After all, you called them mother for so many years..."
Chen Wenmin's expression became complicated after hearing this. Just as he was about to say something, Chen Sibo reached out and pulled his sleeve, then looked at Chen Wenlin.
"Uncle, our family is also very sad about the passing of grandmother and aunt, but it is also because of our Chen family that Mr. Jun's parents passed away. If you really think about it, it is really the Jun family who let our Chen family off."
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression became serious.
"What's more, uncle, do you know what you are doing now? You and the Fang family are collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. Uncle, if you really want to fight against the Jun family with your own abilities, then as a junior, I can't say anything. But uncle, with the enemy at the door, how could you do something like burning food and grass? What will be the consequences if there is no food and grass?"
Chen Wenlin's eyes were bloodshot and he roared.
"I don't want to do that either, but what can I do? What can I do? I just want to avenge my mother and my wife. The Jun family is getting stronger day by day. If I don't join forces with the Fang family and Beiyi, there will be no chance of revenge."
Chen Sibo looked at him in hopeless condition, and his tone no longer had the respect it once had.
"Uncle, when my grandfather was an official, he lived an upright life and fought for the people. But what are we, the Chen family, doing now? Uncle, have you ever thought about how you would explain your current actions to my grandfather a hundred years from now?"
After hearing this, Chen Wenlin leaned against the iron railing in pain, his heart filled with confusion.
Seeing this, Chen Sibo continued to speak.
"Uncle, you can't let hatred blind you and harm these millions of people. You also let Grandfather down. Tomorrow, Young Master Jun will let you confront Madam Shen. When that time comes, Uncle, please don't have any selfish thoughts. Even if it's just to leave a little bloodline for the Chen family, we have seen that all the people of the Fang family have died. If you continue to be stubborn, then our Chen family will be wiped out."
As Chen Sibo was speaking, the cell door suddenly opened, and Jun Moye and Su Hanchu came in hand in hand...
