"I beg you, please don't kill me. I beg you, I'll give you all the gold, silver, and jewels you want."
"I'll give you everything you want, just don't kill me."
They begged for mercy, but the Grim Reaper was indifferent.
Under the threat of death, these people broke down and lost control of their emotions.
"Liu Xi, you'll die a horrible death."
"Liu Xi! I curse you to never have a good death. Your daughter will be a prostitute and your son will be a thief. We'll be watching from hell. "
"Mother, I'm so scared. I don't want to die. Mother."
"Father, where are you? I'm so scared."
…
Fu Wang heard the shrill curse. He was already far away, but he still felt that someone was sobbing in his ear.
If it was an ordinary person, he would feel terrible. But Fu Wang looked normal.
"Sigh. General, don't you think the Lord is too …"
The deputy general, who followed Fu Wang to carry out the slaughter order, could not bear it. His state of mind was not as strong and cold as Fu Wang's.
He could not be blamed for being soft-hearted. The Northern Borderline barbarians deserved to die. He would kill a few of them without batting an eye.
However, the old, weak, women, and children should be innocent. He even saw children who were less than a month old and women who were several months pregnant.
Even though he sympathized with them, military orders were absolute. He had to order the archers to shoot randomly and execute all of them.
After the execution, he had to check the bodies one by one and stab those who were still breathing.
After doing this, the deputy general felt terrible.
Fu Wang sneered and asked coldly, "If your wife was raped by the Northern Borderline barbarians, your daughter was raped to death, your old mother couldn't escape the devil's claws, your father and brother were beheaded and their legs were chopped off, and you were the only one left of your bloodline, would you think that they were innocent?"
The deputy general was stunned. He did not seem to have thought of this possibility.
"If, if that's the case, of course I would want to bury the entire Northern Borderline."
Fu Wang said, "Isn't that enough? Why are you so sympathetic? You think that the children of the Northern Borderline are innocent, but in my opinion, they are the least innocent. He would rather let ten adults go than let a child with the blood of the Northern Borderline's nobility flow in his veins. "
"Why?" The deputy general shook his head disapprovingly. "The child is still young and doesn't know anything. How can this be the same —"
Fu Wang stabbed the long axe in his hand into the ground, leaned on the railing of the camp, and let out a long sigh.
"Troubled times are different from prosperous times. In troubled times, there is no distinction between the old and the young." Fu Wang sneered and said, "Young children are far more threatening than adults. As for humans, whether they were dragons or bugs, they were basically fixed. They couldn't stir up any big waves. However, children were different. Who knew what kind of person this child would become in the future? It is precisely because we are children that we are easier to be used by others. We will grow old eventually. If the Young Master of the Northern Borderline is a great seedling, won't it leave hidden dangers for future generations? "
Don't be fooled by Fu Wang's boorish appearance and reckless and unruly temperament, he was actually meticulous like dust.
He had the intuition of a wild wolf and a pair of eyes that could see through the fog and see the truth.
"But — that's just a possibility —"
The deputy general was a good, honest, and loyal man. Fortunately, he wouldn't interfere with military affairs, so Fu Wang didn't deliberately correct him.
"Not even the slightest possibility —" Fu Wang squinted and glanced at the place where the screams gradually stopped. He said coldly, "The Lord wants to bring peace to the world, so she won't allow any hidden dangers that threaten the peace to exist. Why do you think the Lord wants to slaughter all the nobles of the Northern Borderline and not even let their relatives go? Because the nobles of the Northern Borderline have more connections and financial resources than ordinary people. They can easily do things that ordinary people can't do. They are also a greater threat than ordinary people, so they can't be tolerated. "
Although the Northern Borderline was a barren land, there were also smart people among the nobles. If the nobles were compared to the brain, and ordinary herdsmen were compared to the limbs of the body, then as long as the brain was removed, the torso and limbs would lose the command of the brain. How much combat power could they exert in the end?
"If these people are left alive, the Northern Borderline will recover in at most 20 years, and they will become a serious threat. At that time, new and old hatred will add up. Guess how many innocent people will die? It will definitely be more than 15,000. " Fu Wang said confidently, "War will not only hurt the people of the Central Plains, but it will also be a burden to the people of the Northern Borderline. If these people's deaths can be used to exchange for more people's lives in the future, they will die a worthy death. "
The deputy general listened and was stunned for a long time.
After a while, he said shamefully, "The General's state is extraordinary. I am ashamed."
Fu Wang said honestly, "What extraordinary state? I'm just bluffing. "
The deputy general was dumbfounded. "…"
Fu Wang raised his hand and pulled out his weapon. He curled his lips and said, "The winner takes it all. If it was in the jungle, which wolf would not eat its prey because it is pregnant? If it does not eat its prey, it will starve to death. I really don't know how you have so much sympathy — "
The deputy general was speechless.
After all, it was something that Jiang Pengji had instructed him to do. Fu Wang carefully compared the identity and age of each corpse and checked it again and again.
He had to be careful.
If there was a fish that escaped the net and came back 18 years later to take revenge and provoke a war between the barbarians and the Central Plains, how many people would die?
Fu Wang yawned as he asked people to do the work carefully.
To prevent people from being compassionate, Fu Wang sent out his trusted subordinates. Each one was colder and more ruthless than the other.
Even if there was an outstanding beauty among the prisoners, they would stab her a few times without blinking until she breathed her last.
"Military Advisor Wei?"
Fu Wang was busy. He did not expect an unexpected person to come to the tent.
"Observing the sky last night, I discovered that the stars in the night sky are strange. The destiny of the North borderline is not over yet. There seems to be a master of resurgence hiding —"
Fu Wang was so shocked that he lost all sleepiness.
"What? Master of resurgence? "Fu Wang was stunned." Are you joking, Military Advisor Wei? "
Wei Ci lowered his eyes and said, "If you don't believe me, General Fu, you might as well check it out."
Fu Wang asked, "Check? How? "
"When the Left Minister was young, he participated in the night bonfire and had intercourse with a shepherd girl and gave birth to a baby girl. The baby girl was secretly raised by the Left Minister and later became the legal wife of a member of the royal family who was down and out. The son that this woman gave birth to will be the person who will resurgence the North borderline in the future. "
Fu Wang was stunned. "The Left Minister of the North borderline is …"
"Wu Liba."
"Wu Liba?" Fu Wang hurriedly checked the register and found the page with Wu Liba's family. However, there was no illegitimate daughter as Wei Ci had mentioned, let alone any 'master of resurgence'. "Wait — I'll send someone to check. Military Advisor Wei, please wait for a moment —"
Wei Ci was not in a hurry. He waited quietly, but his thoughts returned to his past life.
The world had just been settled and the officials were worried about their children. Her Majesty wanted to appoint her eldest daughter, Changsheng, as the heir apparent but was repeatedly obstructed by the imperial censors.
In less than two years, Her Majesty became pregnant for the second time, which was the Blessed Longevity.
When she gave birth to the Blessed Longevity, the remnants of the Red Lotus Group rose from the ashes under the leadership of one person. They even spread their teachings to the officials' residences.
