Li Zhou. General's residence.
"Your Highness, please consider carefully and treat the captives well — —"
"If there is a large number of deaths of prisoners of war like Luo City and Yan City again, I'm afraid it will damage Your Highness' reputation — —"
"Yes, Your Highness, there are all kinds of unfavourable rumours — — Of course, that is the enemy's deception, we don't have to take it to heart. But what if the people of the Great Zhou believe it? "
… …
In the meeting hall, the generals who had just captured the city were pleading.
Qiandu swept her eyes across the audience and said in a cold voice, "What's the use of these surrendered soldiers? Why not a bowl of porridge a day? Not only can we save our food, but it can also deplete their combat power. Even if Lizhou City is taken by the Great Zhou Dynasty again, those surrendered soldiers will not be able to fight for a short time … Killing two birds with one stone, why not? "
"Your Highness is right, not killing those surrendered soldiers is already giving them a chance to live, don't tell me they are not grateful for Your Highness's kindness? A bowl of porridge a day can give them the most basic guarantee of life, do we still have to feed them until they are full and wait for them to recover their strength to kill us again? Wouldn't the men of the Peacock Imperial Court die in vain? " General Gongsun Yi roared. He was a hardcore supporter of Princess Qiandu and supported all the edicts made by her. Including killing all the surrendered soldiers, as well as the method of imprisoning the prisoners with a bowl of porridge a day. "Not only will we save on our rations, but we will also be able to deplete the fighting strength of the surrendered soldiers. Most importantly, we don't need to leave so many people to guard every city … If that's the case, when Your Highness leads us to the Great Zhou Dynasty's capital, Lion City, how many soldiers will Your Highness have left? Generals that can fight? "
"General Gongsun's words are not appropriate. If we kill all the way, how can the cities be breached in the future? How can anyone open the city and offer it to us? Everyone knows that surrendering means death, so they can only fight to the death — — Soldiers who have the determination to die are the most terrifying. How many lives of the Empire will we have to sacrifice to take the city? "Mu Qiang couldn't help retorting. He was the general who most vehemently opposed Princess Qiandu's killing of the prisoners.
Now, the generals of Princess Qiandu's army were divided into two factions. One faction, led by Princess Qiandu, advocated the harsh treatment of prisoners of war, to save their own rations, and to weaken the enemy's fighting power.
The other group was led by General Mu Qiang and General Zhu Rong. They advocated treating the prisoners of war kindly and winning over the hearts of the soldiers to ease the pressure of the later battles.
Now that the two sides could not come to an agreement, they could only wait for Princess Qiandu to make a decision.
Who asked her to be the Eldest Princess of the Peacock Imperial Court?
"General Mu, what do you mean by killing along the way? Are we, the Peacock army, murderous demons? Not only did we not kill the surrendered soldiers, but we also provided them with the necessary food … "
"Necessary food? It was currently the freezing season. Heavy snow had fallen in Luoyang City, Salt City, and other places … The physically strong captives were only given a bowl of porridge every day. If this wasn't murder, what was it? How many people starved or froze to death in Luoyang City? How many people starved and froze to death in Yan City and other places? "
"Every year, people freeze to death. Are you going to blame it on the Peacock Army? We came out to fight for the world, not to do charity … "
"If we lose the morale of the army and the people, so what if we conquer the world?"
"Presumptuous." Qiandu roared, a red light flashed in her eyes. "General Mu Qiang, do you know what you are talking about?"
Plop!
Mu Qiang knelt on the ground and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, please think twice!"
Plop!
Zhu Rong also knelt down, bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, please think twice!"
Plop!
A long row of generals knelt on the ground.
Of course, more people did not kneel down, but stood condescendingly on the other side, coldly looking at their comrades.
Where there are people, there is Jianghu. Where there is power, there is struggle. The army was no exception.
Compared with General Mu Qiang, it was clear that Princess Qiandu was more tempting.
Who did not know that if the Peacock Army won this time, the young woman in front of them would most likely be the Queen of the Divine Continent — — Who would dare to disobey her at this time?
Hearing the quarrel of the crowd, Qiandu felt her blood surging, her heart irritated.
"How to deal with the surrendered prisoners, for the time being."
When Qiandu finished, she turned and walked outside.
"Your Highness — —"
※ ※ ※
"Phew — —" Standing in the small courtyard, facing the wet and cold sky, she spat out the foul air in her stomach, her mood still did not feel better. "Mu Qiang, this person, taking advantage of his seniority, is really hateful."
Qiandu felt that Mu Qiang, this person, relied on his strong qualifications and the power of supervising the army given by the Emperor Father, did not put her, the Princess Royal, in his eyes at all. Going against her in every way, and now even creating a division in the army, pulling a group of senior generals to oppose her — — What does he want to do? Does he still have her, the Princess, in his eyes?
"This person must be killed." Qiandu said fiercely.
"What are you muttering about?" A clear voice came over.
"Who?" Qiandu suddenly turned around and shouted.
Behind her, stood a man in white.
He was tall and slender, his face like jade. His eyes were like stars, and his smile was like a hundred flowers. The image of a peerlessly handsome man, not completely unlike a person of the mortal world.
"Li Muyang — — Why are you here?" Qiandu's face was full of surprise, staring at Li Muyang with wide eyes and asked. For some reason, her heart was a little worried, but she did not know what she was worried about.
"Can't I come?" Li Muyang asked with a smile.
"Of course you can — —" Qiandu greeted him with a smile, reaching out to hold Li Muyang's big hand and asked softly, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I wanted to give you a surprise." Li Muyang said with a smile. He reached out to hold Qiandu's hand, which was cold to the touch. He carefully examined Qiandu's eyes and said, "Why does it feel like I gave you a fright? You don't want to see me come? "
"Why would I?" Qiandu avoided Li Muyang's eyes and said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to it. I also wanted to see you before, I really haven't seen you for a long time — — But I've been too busy recently, so I've been delayed. "
"I know you want to see me, so I took the initiative to come over and let you resolve your longing." Li Muyang said with a smile.
Qiandu looked up at Li Muyang and said with some surprise, "Li Muyang, I found that you've changed."
"Don't say that." Li Muyang showed a nervous look and said, "Men are most afraid of women saying the words' you've changed '."
"Li Muyang — —" Qiandu glanced at Li Muyang and said, "I mean, you've become different from before. You used to always have a lot on your mind, as if you were under great pressure. Although you don't say anything, I can feel that you're very tired inside — — Now you're completely relaxed, and your whole person — — seems to be bathed in the sun. It's warm and cozy, but full of vitality. Seeing you like this, it really makes people happy. "
"You've changed too." Li Muyang looked at Qiandu affectionately and said aloud.
"Have I changed too?" Qiandu pursed her lips and asked, "How have I changed?"
"You've become willful, arrogant, and ruthless." The smile on Li Muyang's face gradually faded as he said aloud.
"What?" The smile on Qiandu's face also disappeared, and she stared at Li Muyang with an unkind look. She couldn't believe what she heard. The man she liked, the young man that she missed so much, actually evaluated her like this — — Was she so unbearable in his heart?
"I've heard a lot of such words on the way here. They say you're willful, arrogant, obstinate, and unwilling to listen to the advice of your subordinates. They say you're ruthless, vicious, and have killed countless people — — all bad words about you. "Li Muyang said aloud.
Qiandu let go of Li Muyang's big hand, her expression was serious, her eyes cold, and she asked aloud, "What about you? What do you think? I only care about your attitude. "
"Dog sh * t." Li Muyang uttered.
"Li Muyang — —" Qiandu's eyes were spitting fire, her pupils flashing with a red light, and her entire person was filled with a murderous aura. "You said I'm dog sh * t?"
The high and mighty Peacock Princess, the noble descendant of the Ying family. In the Peacock imperial court, it was a blasphemy for others to raise their head and look her in the eye. From childhood to adulthood, she had never seen anyone speak loudly to her.
What she didn't expect was that someone dared to speak to her in such a tone, and someone even called her dog sh * t — —
If that person was not Li Muyang, she would have already asked someone to chop off his head.
"I said they're dog sh * t." Li Muyang said firmly. He took the initiative to step forward, holding Qiandu's little hand again. "They said that about my Princess Qiandu because of envy, jealousy, and hatred. So, in my eyes, they're all dog sh * t. "
"Li Muyang — —" Qiandu was still angry, but the smile on her face could not be concealed. "How did you — — become like this?"
"Become what?"
"Glib tongue."
"If you like, you have to meet. If you love, you have to fulfill. What I said is what I want to say in my heart. Since I like her, how can I hide it? Of course, I have to work hard to fulfill myself. "Li Muyang said with a smile." In my eyes, Princess Qiandu is perfect. Impeccable. A little more is too long, a little less is too short. A little more is too white, a little less is too red. I hope she doesn't change in the slightest. Because then I worry that I won't be worthy of her. Although I also have such worries now. "
"Li Muyang, Li Muyang, don't be like this — —" Qiandu's eyes were intoxicated, her body was limp, and she felt that the armour on her body was so heavy that she could not stand steadily. "You're — — shaking the morale of the army, do you know that?"
"So, I'm going to get my Princess Qiandu back." Li Muyang looked at Qiandu with eyes full of tenderness, and also full of pity. Anyone who saw such eyes could easily be melted by it, and then immersed in it, never willing to wake up.
"What?"
Li Muyang's hand that was holding Qiandu's hand suddenly glowed red, like a big wildfire burning. He shouted in a deep voice, "So, who are you? Why do you want to occupy Qiandu's body? "
