sweeping the world

Chapter 975
"General." Dou'a was hesitant to speak again and again, but couldn't help but said: "Young Master Shen is the prince, and he is still the eldest son. You... how can you let Young Master Shen participate in the surrender?"

According to Zhu Xia's culture, killing a surrender, no matter whether it is the killing of the same race or a foreign race, is a matter that needs to be condemned, and the person who ordered the killing and surrender will definitely not end well.

Li Tan said with a bitter face, "It's an order from His Majesty himself."

"Your Majesty?" Dou'a was surprised at first, then puzzled: "How could it be..."

If Li Tan had a choice, why would he ask Liu Shen to kill the prisoners?

If there were no accidents, as Liu Shen, the eldest son of the direct emperor, the probability of becoming the heir apparent of the empire was at least [-]%.

After receiving the order, Li Tan was in a daze for the first moment. If the order hadn't come directly from the emperor, he would have suspected that someone was going to frame him.

Even if the order was issued by the emperor himself, Li Tan would still think about it.

It is impossible for Li Tan not to think too much about letting a prince who is more than [-]% likely to become the crown prince to kill prisoners.He thought a lot, including whether the emperor didn't like Liu Shen and wanted Liu Shen to leave the stain of killing prisoners.

"Your Majesty is very human." Li Tan said that he was explaining to Dou'a rather than comforting himself: "How can I and other officials guess what I think?"

The massacre is still going on, and it is impossible for 20 people to be slaughtered in one night.

When all the captives on the outside were killed, the Han army continued to push in, always greeting with arrows first, and checking for survivors during the advance.

If you find an enemy who is not dead, the veteran will never make up the knife by himself.

Veterans would call out to Paoze who thought they were weak, and let them kill enemies who were still breathing.

Liu Shen was one of them, his face was very pale, troubled by a strong sense of vomiting.

In addition to the uncomfortable feeling of wanting to vomit but being unable to vomit, Liu Shen was also tormented by dizziness.He found that apart from the circling screams in his head, there was a howling sound. The place he could see was full of corpses, and blood was pooling and flowing on the ground.

"Is this a pile of corpses, with blood flowing?"

Liu Shen's eyes happened to meet with an enemy who was dying. What he saw was a pale face that had lost a lot of blood. Arrows were stuck in the heart, lower abdomen, and left thigh of the corpse.

What is it like to meet the eyes of the dead?Liu Shen never thought that one day he would go to the battlefield, let alone preside over the killing of prisoners as his deputy, especially the day when he would meet the eyes of the dead.

"vomit!!!"

Liu Shen, who was already extremely uncomfortable, bent down, pressed one hand on his stomach, and covered his throat with the other hand, and opened his mouth to spit like a gushing spring.

The dozen or so people around Liu Shen looked at each other in blank dismay when they saw Liu Shen vomit and no one stepped forward.

The 15 people came to the depths of the grassland with Liu Shen from Chang'an. They were carefully selected, and each of them had a specialization, either good at fighting head-on, or proficient in exploration and investigation, and even someone who specialized in learning how to block knives .

They will accompany Liu Shen until one day he is recalled to Chang'an, and will be Liu Shen's last line of defense.

"Who is that person?"

"too young."

"Should it be the first time on the battlefield?"

"Definitely the first to go to the battlefield."

The soldiers of the standing army who saw Liu Shen bent over and vomited wildly made comments, but no one said that Liu Shen came to be gilded.

No one can predict what the standing army will look like in the future, but the current standing army has never been purely gilded.

It is naturally easier for the noble children to enter the standing army, and it is already invincible for them to enter the standing army with the team rate as the starting point.

As a low-level military officer, you will understand that what kind of official title you have is one thing, and whether you can convince the soldiers to obey orders is another thing. There is an inch.

As the second generation descendants of the founding fathers, the founding of the Han Empire was only 14 years old, and the average age of the honored sons who were selected into the standing army was 27 years old. They did not live in a comfortable environment at the beginning, and their parents did not get high positions for nothing. And titles, education is still relatively complete.

With a better growth environment and a good education, even if they don't have extraordinary skills as the children of honor, they won't be too bad. What they lack is experience and will.

Liu Shen is only 11 years old this year, and looks like he is fourteen or fifteen years old.

Whether it is 11 years old or [-] or [-] years old, no such young person has been selected since the standing army, and it is inevitable to arouse the curiosity of soldiers.

However, the soldiers of the standing army were only curious. They firmly believed that only the actual meritorious service could be promoted, and they were not worried that some honorable son would take away his meritorious service.

Let alone 11 or [-] or [-] years old, the soldiers of the standing army would not think in too dark a direction, but would guess that Liu Shen should have some extraordinary ability to be able to enter the standing army at such a young age.

He felt that he had some ability, and he wouldn't be too contemptuous when he saw Liu Shen vomit.

As long as it is a normal person, the first time he kills or sees a dead person, some physiological reactions are perfectly normal, and there is really nothing to laugh at.

Many soldiers who saw Liu Shen vomit thought of themselves in the past, and observed whether Liu Shen had wet his pants. After discovering that Liu Shen hadn't, many people felt that Liu Shen was bold enough.

Liu Shen just vomited and vomited until there was nothing to vomit and turned into retching. He wiped his face with his hands and found that his face was already covered with tears and snot.

Seeing that Liu Shen stopped vomiting, Jia Yu stepped forward and handed the cloth towel.

Liu Shen took the cloth towel and started wiping it. After wiping his face, he began to wipe his armor.

"Am I ashamed?"

"There are no soldiers laughing at the young master."

Liu Shen looked around, except for his own guards, the rest of the people were doing whatever they were supposed to be doing, and if there was anything special, they would just look at them occasionally, and no one would laugh at them.

There is no shame on the battlefield, there is life and death.

Only in some politically-purposed propaganda can there be that unblemished greatness, light and justice on the battlefield.

The reason why the battlefield is a battlefield is that it is a place where human lives are constantly being consumed. Vomiting, peeing pants... and other things are not worth paying too much attention to. It is better to eliminate as many enemies as possible if you have that spare time. Increase your chances of survival.

Li Tan, Dou'a, etc. Anyone who calls Liu Shen uses "Young Master". The reason is naturally that Liu Shen is just a prince without an official title and official position, and Liu Shen does not have a palace that is completely his own.

Waiting for the day when Liu Shen has a title or official position, others will use the title or official position to call him.If he has never obtained a title or official position, but has his own palace, then he can also use the title "His Royal Highness".

If one day Liu Shen became the crown prince, everyone in the entire Han Empire, except the emperor and queen, should be called "Jia Shang".

Why use "jiashang" to address the prince?The reason is that after becoming a prince, he is generally qualified to call himself a "subject" or "family" to the emperor.

Many princes or princesses, as long as they (they) have their own palace, they can all be called "His Royal Highness".In this way, calling the prince "His Royal Highness" does not seem unique enough. After the Western Jin Dynasty, the title of "Jia Shang" appeared for the prince.

After Liu Shen vomited, he felt extremely uncomfortable in his stomach, but the vomiting and dizziness disappeared.

"My lord." Jia Yu stepped on an undead prairie man and called out to Liu Shen, "Your lord, do you want to kill this thief?"

They used questioning words, but Jia Yu had a serious expression on his face.

Just like Li Tan will receive special orders, Dou'a, as Liu Shen's immediate chief, will also have special orders, and these guards will also be given special instructions by the emperor.

Those emperors of the early Han Dynasty, as long as they were wise emperors in office, they all killed people with their own hands when they were growing up.It's just that they didn't kill the common people in the country. They didn't kill the nobles or the relatives of the emperor, or they were bandits, thieves, thieves, thieves, or even soldiers who had killed the enemy country with their own hands.

Liu Yan has made reference to some records of previous dynasties on how to train the princes, and especially appreciates the training methods of the five generations of the first five generations of the Western Han Dynasty.

As a high-ranking person, you must not be afraid of killing people. A high-ranking person who is afraid of killing people is definitely not a qualified high-ranking person, especially if he will become the ruler of the empire one day. He dare not kill someone to be a ruler.

Liu Shen looked at the prairie man who was stepped on, it was a prairie man with an arrow in his thigh.He drew out his battle sword and walked forward step by step, the hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

"Is it the father's order?"

Jia Yu smiled and said nothing, but stepped on harder.

The prairie man who was stepped on had a face full of horror, and kept yelling something in his mouth.

Liu Shen closed his eyes and was about to stab out the sword in his hand.

"My lord, please open your eyes." Jia Yu said slowly, "Look into his eyes, aim the sword at his heart."

Liu Shen opened his eyes and looked not at the prairie man, but stared at Jia Yu viciously, then changed from stabbing to slashing, and the blade of the sword slashed towards the prairie man's neck.

The sword is naturally a good sword, it is very sharp, and when the sword cuts down, it breaks the skin, cuts off the flesh and bones, and the sword body cuts to the ground to transmit the shock force.

"How to kill..." Liu Shen gasped heavily, "I decide!"

The parts below Jia Yu's thighs were spattered with blood, and he respectfully saluted Liu Shen silently.

In the distance, Li Tan and Dou'a have been silently watching Liu Shen's every move.

When they saw Liu Shen cut off the head of the prairie man, they subconsciously looked at each other and smiled.

"Does Your Majesty say how long Master Shen will stay with you?"

"It is clearly stated that the maximum age is half a year."

"What about the future?"

"The end will not know."

Li Tan would have thought about it before, seeing that Liu Shen was being led to kill by his guards, he no longer thought about it in a dark direction.

To be able to come here as Liu Shen's bodyguard must be selected by the emperor himself.The bodyguards chosen by the emperor himself lead Liu Shen to kill people. Isn't that enough to explain the problem?

"You..." Li Tan looked at Dou'a enviously, and said without concealment, "What a lucky guy!"

Dou'a has already come to his senses, he really feels that he is extremely lucky to be able to be the first Shangguan of Prince Shen, if he knows how to cherish it, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to his future official career.

"But I don't know how the other princes will arrange it?" Li Tan was somewhat looking forward to it: "If everyone has experienced this way, there is no limit to the great man's ten thousand years."

As a general, who doesn't want the ruler of the empire to be an iron-blooded emperor?

If they were soldiers, but they met an emperor who was extremely gentle and didn't want to fight at all, they would feel infinite disappointment and sorrow.

"I'm afraid there is already an uproar in the court." Dou Ah didn't think he was talking nonsense: "Those civil servants have long fought to be Prince Shen's teacher. His Majesty has not chosen a teacher for Prince Shen for a long time. But they were dispatched to the army, how should they beat their chests?"

Li Tan imagined for a while, and couldn't help showing a happy smile, and said, "They don't know His Majesty's insight and wisdom."

To say that the military must choose the biggest enemy, it will not be any enemy country or foreign race, it must be domestic literati.

They once personally suppressed the literati, but the result was not good. It was not that they were bullied by the literati, but they were suppressed while being taught a lesson by Liu Yan, otherwise there would be no rotation system.

The reason why literati in other dynasties were able to stand on the heads of military generals to shit and pee was not because the literati were so powerful, but because the emperor chose to stand on the side of the literati.

The obvious thing is that the reason why the literati dared to insult military generals without limit was that the emperor was on their side?Otherwise, if it is determined by force that a military general can beat a literati to a hemiplegia in a matter of minutes, how dare a literati insult the general?
Like "Da Counsellor", the Zhao family who bullied orphans and widows and became the emperor, they are afraid that the military generals will follow suit, so they can only choose to suppress the military without a bottom line. practice.

As long as Liu Yan still wants to unify the world island, he will definitely not be able to do something like suppressing the generals into dogs.On the contrary, the military itself has the drive to evolve into a dog, and what he needs to do is to train the military to become a tiger wolf.

At the same time, Liu Yan also knew that the military should not be allowed to be arrogant indefinitely, let alone suppress literati without a bottom line, so the only way to do it is to adopt the strategy of Wu Liu Wen Si.

For a country, nothing is more important than balance. Even if it is necessary to tilt sometimes, it must not be tilted too much.

The military of the Han Empire obviously felt that Liu Yan loved them more, so they dared to speak louder, but there were several times when they spoke too loudly and suffered crimes, so they dared not be too arrogant.

"If Your Majesty allows every prince to go to the army to practice..." Li Tan narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said with satisfaction: "It is really a blessing for us warriors."
