- Chapter 437: The choice you will always face
When Lu Fenghou and Chen Bishan came back, they walked arm in arm. As they walked and laughed, they seemed to be two different people. The two of them were originally at odds with each other and would argue with each other, but now they look like a pair of old friends who have known each other for many years.
No matter how you look at it, these two people are too ferocious.
The armor and clothes on the two of them had long been soaked with blood, and blood flowed all the way along the clothes when they walked. Wherever he walked, he left a trail of bloody footprints.
The two men were followed by their own soldiers, and at least one of them was carrying six heads in his hand.
It¡¯s hard to imagine a scene of a hundred people chasing two thousand people running around on the top of the mountain.
These soldiers of Fang Jie completely frightened Liu Laizi's bandits. They had never seen a team that could kill people faster than chopping vegetables. These soldiers, Fang Jie, have personally trained for several months, and what they are best at is this kind of special operations such as small force raids. The teams led by the two men counted a total of more than 780 heads.
On average, one person kills more than seven people.
There is only one way up the mountain, and there is only one way down the mountain. After Chen Bishan and Lu Fenghou led their men up, the bandits had no way to retreat. In fact, it is true that these bandits dare to kill people, but not many can kill people. There is a big difference between stabbing people randomly with a knife and killing them with one knife. Among them, there are not even one tenth of them who are truly bloodthirsty.
That corner of the mountain road was their natural fortress. They relied on the terrain to stop the rebels from going up the mountain. But this time they faced a group of fighting machines. Fang Jie's personal soldiers were originally selected elites, and with Fang Jie's personal training, they had matured rapidly over the past few days. They have no preference or dislike for killing. They regard killing as a part of life, whether they are afraid of it or not.
In their view, killing is as simple as eating and drinking.
Later, the rebels who dared to resist were killed by the team of one hundred people. The others who had the courage to hold weapons all knelt down and begged for mercy. The gap between ordinary people holding murderous weapons and killing machines is still too big. Chen Banshan and Lu Fenghou each led fifty men, and their two sharp formations were unstoppable.
There was no stopping them at the corner of the mountain road, let alone after going up.
Actually speaking, 10,000 rebels failed to capture a line of cliff, but Fang Jie's 100 soldiers were able to defeat it. It does not mean that Fang Jie's soldiers are a hundred times stronger than the rebel soldiers. It's about training and individual martial arts, plus teamwork. The rebels were also captives of the common people, and their hearts were already trembling after the death of people. And they would only rush forward in one fell swoop, which could not compare to the flawless cooperation between Fang Jie's soldiers.
"General, I lost!"
Lu Fenghou came over and said, but his tone was no longer unconvinced.
Chen Bishan cut off Liu Lezi¡¯s head with his own hands and killed four more people than him. Lu Fenghou was an honest man and would not continue to be pretentious.
"Let's search and see how many useful things this bandit has."
Fang Jie gave an order.
Chen Bishan threw Liu Leizi's head to the ground and said with a smile: "I thought that the real man was very capable, but it turned out that he was just a ruthless guy with mediocre martial arts skills. He was just a bad guy. Others After Liu Lezi died, no one dared to resist, and there were about 1,600 or 700 people kneeling there. "
Fang Jie hummed, looked back at Sun Kaidao and asked, "Master Sun, what do you think of my rebels who are better than Yin Poshan?"
Sun Kaidao looked at Liu Leizi¡¯s head and swallowed hard: "The difference between clouds and mudXiaguanXiaguan has opened his eyes and gained knowledge today."
"Then let me ask you."
Fang Jie said as he walked: "What should we do with the more than a thousand prisoners?"
Sun Kaidao was silent for a while and said: "Morally, if the general doesn't want to keep these prisoners, he can just let them go. But these people have drank human blood, so it is difficult for them to transform from beasts back to ordinary people. The general released them mercifully. They work hard for a day or two. After a month or two, they will work hard in the fields and not have enough food and clothing for a year. How about being a thief? It¡¯s much easier to grab it after eating than to farm.¡±
Fang Jie looked at him: "You see clearly."
Sun Kaidao nodded: "Xiaguan has seen a lot in the past two years, so he has a thorough understanding. If a person does not do bad things in his whole life and does not know what it feels like to do bad things, he will not change anything. But as long as he does it once When bad things go unpunished, the addiction becomes more severe."
Fang Jie asked: "You mean, kill all these people?"
?"Although it is not a solution once and for all, at least it can ensure peace for a while."
Sun Kaidao clasped his fists and said: "The general is not a womanly person. He should know that what the official said is right. These people are no longer the common people of the Sui Dynasty. Even if the general lets them go, they will immediately leave after the general's troops leave." Wang Baichuan, the magistrate of Qu County next to Wan County, was a benevolent man. Although he had to surrender the rebels, he still fulfilled his duties. He organized the people to resist the rebels and was quite popular because he took the lead. Love.¡±
"But this person is kind-hearted. He will break up a bandit gang, kill the leader and let the others go. Sometimes if the leader of the bandits pleads to admit his mistake, he will let him go. This Liu scoundrel was once captured by Wang Baichuan However, Liu Lezi knelt down and begged for mercy and cried bitterly. Wang Baichuan wanted him to repent and let him and the other bandits go, making him promise not to cause trouble again. But that night, while Min Yong was disbanding and going home, Liu Lezi took him with him. He led dozens of people into Wang Baichuan's house and killed all the members of the Wang family, including about 20 people."
When Chen Bishan and Lu Fenghou heard this, their expressions changed at the same time. Lu Fenghou said angrily: "This kind of beast and scum can be killed ten thousand times without injustice!"
Zhuo Buyi sighed. He originally wanted to persuade Fang Jie not to kill too many people, but he could no longer find a reason. The northwest is too chaotic, to the point where no morality and kindness can survive. Everything here is full of sin and ugliness, and people's hearts have turned into monsters and beasts in just two years.
"Can I accept the teaching?"
Mu Xiaoyao is a woman after all, and she can¡¯t bear to see so many people being killed.
"Can't bring it."
Chen Xiaoru said: "We can't carry any burden now."
Mu Xiaoyao was stunned and had nothing to say. He knew that Chen Xiaoru was right. It was impossible for the team to lead a group of rabble through the rebel territory, and it was possible that these people would kill the team of 5,000 people.
Everyone looked at Fang Jie, waiting for his decision.
¡¡
¡¡
This will definitely not be the first time Fang Jie has faced this kind of situation. How he opens his head will determine the future path. Fang Jie knows this very well. If they are not killed, most of these people are not locals and it would be impractical to let them go home. But once they are released, the team will move forward and gather together again, because if they don't plunder or kill, they will have no way to survive.
Liu Lezi is dead, but a ruthless character among these people will soon emerge, take Liu Lezi's place, and continue to cause chaos with more than a thousand people.
"If they were all killed, Fang Jie would still not be able to cross the threshold in his heart. After all, those were more than a thousand lives, and they were once citizens of the Sui Dynasty.
Fang Jie looked at the prisoner kneeling in the dark space in front of him with a solemn expression. Everyone under his command was waiting for him to make a decision, including those who supported killing and those who supported not killing. Although Shen Qingshan and Wanyan Yunshu did not speak, they must have the same thoughts as Mu Xiaoyao. Although Shen Qingshan had a cold temperament and didn't care about killing people, after all, this meant 1,600 to 700 lives.
Among his men, although Chen Bishan was angry, he did not advocate killing them all. Zhuo Buyi was not a hard-hearted person, so naturally he would not see such a thing as killing prisoners.
Others, most of them were in favor of killing.
The reason for those who advocate not killing is that although these bandits have done many evil things, it was the troubled times and the rebels that drove them to this point, not themselves. They were also people of the Sui Dynasty. Without Li Yuanshan's rebellion, they would not have picked up hoes to kill their former villagers.
Those who advocate killing have only one reason.
No matter if they were ordinary people or evil people, they all deserve to die. Because they were causing trouble, countless people were killed by them, their wives and daughters were raped, and the old and the weak were slaughtered. Liu Lezi likes to skin people. After destroying a village, he often gathers the villagers together and selects beautiful women for his own enjoyment. If there is anyone who disobeys, he will have his cronies gang-rape the woman in front of the whole village. , and then skin the person alive.
The reason is that no matter how kind you were in the past, you should be punished if you do evil.
Fang Jie slowly walked up to a bandit who looked to be about thirty years old. The bandit lowered his head and did not dare to raise it. Fang Jie stood in front of him and stared at him, as if he wanted to see through his body and see his soul. But this is impossible. Fang Jie is not a god and cannot do this.
"Have you ever killed anyone?"
Fang Jie asked him.
The man quickly shook his head: "No, no! The common people were coerced and have never done anything evil. The common people are just just greedy for life and fear of death, so they became thieves, but they have never done anything harmful to the world!"
Fang Jie snorted, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the man's clothes from behind and tore them violently.
There are several deep scars on this man¡¯s back. It was obvious that they were scratches caused by fingernails. ThereforeSo deep that it will never disappear from his back in this lifetime.
The man looked at Fang Jie in horror and confusion, seeming to have forgotten the deep scratches on his back.
Yes, he forgot.
Fang Jie said nothing and continued walking forward. He saw a boy who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, kneeling on the ground, his body still shaking.
"Are you afraid of death?"
Fang Jie asked him.
The young man raised his head and looked at Fang Jie fearfully: "I'm afraid General, please spare the lives of the grass people. The grass people swear that they will never dare to do evil again. After the grass people go back, they will farm honestly and will never follow others out to do evil again." ! The grassroots people know that they are wronggeneral, spare your life"
"Are you begging for mercy?"
Fang explained the question.
"The common peoplethe common people don't want to die. General, please spare me."
Fang Jie shook his head: "When you killed people, did the people you killed beg for mercy? Did you let them go because they begged for mercy?"
The young man's expression froze, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Fang Jie did not ask any more questions, nor did he move forward.
He glanced at the gangsters kneeling on the ground, and his expression gradually calmed down. He had never thought that he would face such a choice before. When he was in Fangu, he didn't want to kill anyone. Even when faced with those horse thieves who committed many crimes, he only shot with arrows instead of killing people with his own hands. Later, after he left Fan Gu, he accumulated more and more lives in his hands, but those people were killed by him because they wanted to kill him.
Now, he is facing another group of people.
They are also a group of people who must face when leading troops in the future.
They are not prisoners in the ordinary sense, but a group of bandits. When the two armies are fighting, no one is willing to kill and capture easily. But the situation is different now, so Fang Jie must make his own decision.
In the future, he may continue to face this choice.
Before leading the army, he would not have thought of these things.
"General"
Da Quan glanced at Fang Jie and said seriously: "You may not have thought that you would face such a choice before, but when I was the prince, the tutor once asked me how to choose in such a situation. My original answer was No killing. The master said I was a benevolent person, and he smiled happily. "
Fang Jie didn¡¯t wait for the big dog to finish speaking, and waved his hand: ¡°Kill¡±
The big dog opened his mouth but did not continue. He recalled that the Taifu actually smiled happily when he heard his answer and said that he was a benevolent person. But the disappointment in Taifu's eyes was so strong
kill!
