"Go tell the soldiers that if they are captured, they should surrender. If they surrender, at least they can survive and see their families again in their lifetime."
"General, you..." The right-wing general was slightly startled. He didn't expect that these words would come from General Yan's mouth.
You know, General Yan was Murong Qingyu's best brother and most loyal general back then. It was also him who had done his utmost to maintain the morale of the army for the past 19 years.
He had never expected to hear the word "surrender" from General Yan's mouth today. Instantly, the right-wing general was filled with admiration for General Yan.
"Ah... I never thought that the Murong family army would one day end up in such a situation."
Seeing soldiers constantly fainting on the training ground, General Yan sighed and said, "The Lord has been busy for most of his life. Initially, it was to avenge the loss of his wife. Later, after he had these brothers, he wanted to open up a new life for everyone.
A true man stands tall and proud, isn't he meant to achieve great things? Following the Lord, with the exception of watching those 500,000 brothers perish at Fengling Pass 19 years ago, I've never regretted anything.
Over the past 19 years, everyone has done their best. However, to achieve great things, one needs not only strength but also the right time, right place, and right people. None of these can be missing.
Now that the master has been captured, the young master, though capable, is narrow-minded. Even if you and I build a kingdom for him, once he ascends the throne, he will likely face the fate of the cunning rabbit dying and the running dogs being cooked, and the birds being gone, and the good bow being put away.
If that's the case, why not just go our separate ways? I can save my life and see my family again. Since that battle, I haven't seen my family in 20 years."
General Yan's words caused the right-wing general to fall silent.
"Never mind. Look, almost half of the people have already collapsed. I don't know what kind of drug they used, but it's so potent. I guess they must have tampered with the lake. Everyone drank the water at different times, so now everyone is just collapsing one after another."
"General, you didn't have dinner tonight, did you?" asked the right wing general.
General Yan nodded.
He was not feeling well tonight and did not want to eat, and he had already filled his water bag with water in the morning, so he could walk to the end clearly.
“Bang—”
A muffled sound echoed beside him. General Yan sighed. From this moment on, he had no one to talk to.
Half an hour later, there were only a handful of people standing in the entire training ground, but the soldiers were calmer than ever before.
The law does not hold everyone responsible.
Although they followed Murong Qingyu 19 years ago, they were just soldiers after all, and were private soldiers given to Murong Qingyu by the emperor.
Now that they fell in front of the enemy in this way, it was the greatest comfort to most people.
In that battle 19 years ago, they betrayed their compatriots and comrades. 19 years later, they had to take up swords and guns once again to face those who shared their blood.
They didn't dare to think that once the war broke out, their brothers and children might be among their enemies. They could only live a life without seeing the sun and be ready to charge and die at any time.
Now, General Yan has given the order that if you wake up and find that you have been captured, you must surrender.
Although they were not cowards, for the first time, they felt that surrender actually felt good.
