Raising a concubine under her nose, the reborn mistress marries the prince

Sun Qian thought Jiang He would hide somewhere to calm down.

Unexpectedly, when we found him, he was looking at the maps of Jing'an and Fengcheng as if nothing had happened.

Sun Qian came forward curiously, "What does the coach want to do?"

"What are you doing here?" Jiang He glanced at him.

Sun Qian is a man who is brave but lacks brains.

If you ask him to charge, he will risk his life more than anyone else, but if you ask him to use his brain, it will cost him his life.

Seeing that Jiang He was not going to answer his question, Sun Qian was not annoyed.

He is just a little older than Jiang He.

I am inferior to him in every way.

"Coach! Drink." Sun Qian took out a pot of wine from behind him like a magic trick.

Jiang He then took his eyes off the map.

The two of them sat on the ground, drinking one cup after another.

Jiang He asked: "Have you ever killed civilians or massacred a city before?"

Sun Qian said: "We haven't even captured the city of Nanning, so how can we massacre the people there? We can't massacre the people of Daqing."

Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, southern Xinjiang is thousands of miles away from Shangjing.

They want to do something so unscrupulous that they may be able to conceal it.

"But..." Sun Qian changed the subject, "Although we didn't massacre the city, we did burn, kill, and loot."

Jiang He's heart sank and his face became solemn. He knew the cruelty of war.

But it still hurt to hear this.

Sun Qian took a sip of wine and continued, "On the battlefield, it's either you or me. Sometimes, in order to win, we have to take some measures. But you are different, Commander. You care about the world, and everything you do is for the people.

But not all generals are like you. Some of them will snatch food from the mouths of ordinary people in order to survive."

Jiang He sighed: "I just hope to reduce the casualties of innocent people. War is cruel, if we can win at the lowest cost, why not do it?"

Sun Qian nodded slightly to show his agreement. After a moment of silence, the two continued to drink.

"Let me tell you a story!" Sun Qian looked at Jiang He, and seeing that he had no objection, he continued.

"Three years ago, the Sun family army also captured Jing'an City."

Jiang He looked at Sun Qian and was quite surprised.

Jiang He thought he had collected comprehensive intelligence on the battle situation in various places.

"Take Jing'an City?"

"Well, this news did not reach Shangjing. At that time, Sun Yuan was still under Sun Qi's command."

"Sun Qi, you know, right?" Sun Qian asked.

"A very famous person." Jiang He replied.

"Heh, but the death was silent." Sun Qian disagreed.

Because of Sun Qi's misjudgment, he lost his life.

This is an unspeakable secret in the Sun family army.

"His death is a hurdle that the Sun family army cannot overcome." Sun Qian continued.

"After his death, Sun Chi had the opportunity to take over Sun Qi's position. It was also from this time that the Sun family army was divided into two factions."

Jiang He didn't interrupt and just listened quietly.

I have heard about Sun Jiadong's history.

It's simply that there is no one in the direct lineage, and the side branches are unwilling to submit.

The death of Sun Qi was always kept secret in the capital.

Jiang He didn't know much about his death.

Anyway, people will die. There will always be deaths in war.

"The emperor intends to suppress the Sun family. Sun Qi knows this very well. The Sun family army in southern Xinjiang urgently needs a victory to show their loyalty to the emperor."

"Sun Qi did it. We were holding our breath all those days, intending to fight the southern barbarians to their hometown, but we managed to capture Jing'an City.

The soldiers were all very happy and ready to fight. In the past, we would sneak into the villages to steal some food. The food and grass from the capital were always not delivered in time, and the food that the soldiers grew could not meet the supply of the court. At that time, we would go to the enemy's village to rob.

This time you can grab it freely.

Sun Qi turned a blind eye in the past, but this time he strictly ordered us not to take a single grain of food from Dongjing'an City.

Sun Qi wanted to win over the hearts of the common people as well.

But the people of Jing'an hated us to the core. After we took control of Jing'an, the people hid Nanning soldiers in their homes and poisoned the water sources near our military camps with the elderly, the weak, women and children.

Sun Qi gave an order that we could not kill any civilians, so that the civilians could relax and work as usual.

How could the people of Jing'an believe that, under the instigation of the Nanning soldiers, they even poisoned the plants and trees on the mountains with chronic poison.

The poison took three days to take effect, and by the time we discovered it, the Nanning soldiers had already launched a large-scale attack.

The soldiers were all poisoned at this time, so they were no match for the people from Nanning.

Even Sun Qi was abducted by them.

It was a fatal blow for a general of an army to become a prisoner of the enemy.

Sun Qi saw that the situation was hopeless and he could not drag down the remaining Sun family troops.

So he just cut his neck with a knife.

The commander committed suicide, and Sun's army was completely routed.

Sun Yuan, who rushed to the scene after hearing the news, tried his best to retrieve Sun Qi's body. He could not let Sun Qi's body become the military merit of the enemy general.

The hard-fought Jing'an City returned to the hands of the people of Nanning in less than three days."

Having said that, Sun Qian looked at Jiang He's expression.

It seems that Jiang He is still unmoved.

Sun Qian continued, "Sun Yuan held Sun Qi's body and cried bitterly. His heart was filled with regret and self-blame. If he could have noticed the enemy's conspiracy earlier, perhaps this tragedy could have been avoided.

He also blamed Sun Qi for being too kind. If he had ordered a massacre at that time, Sun Qi would not have died, and those hateful people would not have colluded with the Nanning soldiers, and the Sun family army would have been severely damaged.

Fortunately, Sun Qi did not rush to report the news of the capture of the city back to Shangjing.

The news of his suicide was also blocked.

The news reported to Shangjing was that Sun Qi was killed in battle.

This was a heavy blow to the Sun family.

At this time, the Sun family was being liquidated by the emperor, and everyone in the Sun family was afraid that if they were not careful, they would be doomed to have their property confiscated and their family exterminated.

Sun Qi's death did not cause much of a stir, because many people in the court believed that the Sun family deserved to die."

"You are also blaming General Sun for not ordering the massacre, just like today you actually agreed with the massacre, right?" Jiang He suddenly said.

Sun Qian opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.

"If we massacre the people of Jing'an, General Sun will not be able to survive. Besides, I don't want them to avoid paying the price if I don't massacre the people in the city." Jiang He said.

Sun Qian immediately said, "I knew you wouldn't let the people of Nanning go for nothing."

"General Sun died to apologize for his mistake. How long are you going to blame him?" Jiang He looked at Sun Qian and asked word by word.
