Chapter 29: Compassion without Soldiers

After taking Huarong County, Duan Shiyu personally led troops to capture Shanyang warehouse.

In the north of Xuzhou there is old general Yuchi Jun, and in the west there is Duan Shiyu.Taking advantage of the high morale in the army, Duan Shiyu captured two counties in a row within a month.

In just two months, Duan Shiyu's description has changed from a high-spirited marshal to a disgraced beggar, with lice growing on his hair and his black armor almost sticking to his body.

From the time they went to Xuzhou, Dayu's army, like Duan Shiyu, had been working nonstop. Although they fought and won consecutive victories, their momentum had already weakened.Duan Shiyu decided to go back to Huarong County to rest for a month.

When he returned to the stronghold in Huarong County, Duan Shiyu took off his Xuanjia, and the afterbirth of the lining reeked of sweat.

Duan Shiyu asked the soldiers to rest in the Huarong County camp for a period of time. The soldiers were exhausted for more than two months and needed to rest a long time ago. In addition, it was raining continuously during this period, so it was not suitable for marching. Moreover, he himself needed to rest for a while. time.

However, the continuous rain rekindled Yu Chiyuan's fighting spirit who was stationed in Jiaojun.

After the Battle of Hanshui, Yu Chiyuan dispatched troops to attack Danyin, but Gao Zhan was prepared and dropped the main force to Danyin.Yu Chiyuan failed to capture, but instead lost troops and generals.

During the period, Gao Zhan came to harass Jiaojun again, and Gao Zhan's 20 army came to attack, Yu Chiyuan could only be a coward, refusing to leave the city to fight.

The torrential rain for several days gave Yu Chiyuan a chance.The terrain of Danyin is low-lying, and the heavy rain caused the water level of the Han River to rise. Yu Chiyuan ordered the army to build a high dam around Danyin to store water, and build a canal to divert the Han River to the high dam. Start watering.

The original plan, Yu Chiyuan planned this way, but when the storage dam was about to fill up with water, Yu Chiyuan started to panic again.He took his lieutenant Qian Kaixuan to Peacock Mountain to the east of Danyin. Looking at Danyin, which was lifeless due to the continuous rainfall, he became more and more entangled.

If the water goes down, not only Gao Zhan's 20 troops will be drowned, but also countless people in Danyin City will be drowned.

Yu Chiyuan wanted to win this stick, but he didn't want to be a sinner, but he couldn't think of any other way to make his army of less than 20 defeat Gao Zhan's [-] army.

Yu Chiyuan thought for a long time, and he asked Qian Kaixuan, "You think I did this, right?"

Qian Kaixuan rubbed his chin and said, "Why is it wrong? The general pretended to defend the city while secretly repairing the city canal. Ji Fengjun didn't notice it, and just waited for the water to flood Danyin."

"..." Yu Chiyuan looked back at Qian Kaixuan, his face full of helplessness.

Qian Kaixuan didn't know what he said wrong, which caused Wei Chiyuan's expression, he thought about it, and dared not speak again.

Knowing that he couldn't say anything, Yu Chiyuan said, "Go and call Qingyun Changshi over."

Qian Kaixuan couldn't guess what Yu Chiyuan was thinking, so he quickly cupped his hands and ran away in a flash.

After a long time, Ji Qingyun walked over slowly holding an oil-paper umbrella.

Hearing the voice, Yu Chiyuan looked back at Ji Qingyun.Ji Qingyun wore a white dress embroidered with green bamboo, and the oil paper umbrella was also decorated with ink and bamboo knots. The corners of his eyes slightly raised, as if he was smiling.

As soon as Yu Chiyuan saw him, he felt that the tone in his heart was much smoother, but he didn't want to admit the dependence Ji Qingyun brought him.When Ji Qingyun approached, Yu Chiyuan snorted, and said, "Saobao, dressed like this, I won't be afraid of flower-headed bears attacking you."

Ji Qingyun lifted the hem of his clothes, and said with a smile: "This is not the middle of Sichuan."

Yu Chiyuan curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Are you here to fight a war or to visit a brothel?"

Ji Qingyun originally put on this outfit to show Yu Chiyuan, but he didn't expect that Yu Chiyuan not only didn't praise him, but mocked him instead, Ji Qingyun was ashamed and angry, and said: "The general came to me just to squeeze me? "Speaking, he turned to leave.

"Hey, hey, hey!!" Yu Chiyuan hurriedly grabbed Ji Qingyun's wrist, the oil-paper umbrella was tilted, and water droplets from the eaves of the umbrella dripped on Yu Chiyuan's lips.Yu Chiyuan licked his lips and made a sound of pooh.

Ji Qingyun thought that Yu Chiyuan was poohing him, so he withdrew his hand and said, "I'm going back!"

"Don't, don't, don't." Seeing that Ji Qingyun was really angry, Yu Chiyuan hurriedly coaxed: "Am I saying this unintentionally? Why do you take it so seriously?"

"Humph."

Ji Qingyun's face was covered with rain, and his temples were covered with broken hair.Yu Chiyuan reached out and pulled his hair off, and pinched his ears.

He just saw Ji Qingyun's ears turned red, so he pinched it without thinking, but his unintentional action made Ji Qingyun feel a little flustered.

Ji Qingyun pursed his lips and looked at Yu Chiyuan's face.Noticing his gaze, Yu Chiyuan also looked into his eyes and smiled.

Ji Qingyun saw that he was laughing heartlessly, and his anger disappeared, and asked: "What's the matter, let's talk."

Only then did Yu Chiyuan remember the purpose of calling Ji Qingyun, and he said seriously: "When do you think it is best to open the canal?"

Ji Qingyun said: "I want to collect money for fortune-telling."

Yu Chiyuan shook his head, firmly: "No."

"Then it won't be too late to give it to me when I have it." Ji Qingyun propped up the paper umbrella to protect Yu Chiyuan from the rain.When to open the canal, Yu Chiyuan knew in his heart, and Ji Qingyun also knew that what Yu Chiyuan wanted to ask was not the timing of opening the canal, but the consequences of opening the canal.He didn't go around the bush anymore, and said directly: "Although Danyin is only a county, it has more than [-] residents. Once the flood washes down, who knows how many people will survive."

"..." Yu Chiyuan gritted his back molars, his brows wrinkled into a ball.

Ji Qingyun saw the veins on his neck and said with a smile: "General, why are you just like His Highness?"

"what?"

Ji Qingyun said: "Compassion does not lead soldiers, righteousness does not raise wealth."

Yu Chiyuan turned around and looked at Ji Qingyun.

Ji Qingyun squinted a pair of fox eyes, looking at Danyin under the misty rain, looking ruthless.

Yu Chiyuan turned his head back silently.Ji Qingyun approached Yu Chiyuan, pressed against Yu Chiyuan's arm, and said: "Sooner or later the general will understand, and His Highness will also understand that there is no war of the undead. Living in troubled times, no one can do anything about it. If you soften your heart now, you will understand in the future." Kill more people."

Yu Chiyuan wasn't afraid of death, he was just afraid of the crimes he would bear if these innocent people died in his hands.He's not cruel, it's just the reason for his existence.

Lamb has been eaten since ancient times. Do people still care about the life and death of sheep?
