On another section of the Huaishui, on a small embankment, Xie Xuanyi was wearing a good silk robe, just like when he appeared in Jingkou, his hair was neatly combed and spotless, looking at the Huaihe River roaring under his feet, his expression was calm.

Liu Yu's body was stained with a lot of dust, standing silently beside him, there were only two people on this small embankment, the river breeze was blowing their hairbands and clothes, two people with such a sharp contrast, standing here like this, it seemed that there was a bit of indescribable harmony.

Xie Xuan breathed a sigh of relief gently: "Xiaoyu, are you wondering, why didn't I wear armor today, but dressed like this?" ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "This battle is over, Xuan Shuai can also relax for a while." You are still dressed up like this, looking elegant and noble. ”

Xie Xuan sighed, stretched out his big white hands, his slender fingers were like jade pillars, his skin was extremely well maintained, like a woman, he looked at Liu Yu: "How much blood is on these hands, Xiaoyu, do you know?" A murderous general, you actually say that he is elegant! ”

Liu Yu wanted to speak, but at a glance out of the corner of his eye, he saw dozens of headless corpses floating up and down in the river, and immediately realized that no matter what, Xie Xuan was the commander of the first army after all, and he killed tens of thousands of enemies in this array, even if he didn't kill a person personally, but after all, when he gave an order, tens of thousands of lives disappeared, and it was really not wrong to say that his hands were bloody.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu was silent, and Xie Xuan calmly looked at the corpse floating in front of him: "Xiaoyu, do you want to say that Liu Gaozhi and the others will kill the prisoners and take the merit, is this not good?" ”

Liu Yu nodded: "If you kill the enemy on the battlefield, it doesn't matter how much you kill, but the enemy army who surrendered has already given up resistance, first deceived people to surrender, and then killed them, this kind of behavior is incomprehensible to subordinates." ”

Xie Xuan shook his head: "Xiaoyu, there is a saying that I don't know if you have heard of it, mercy is not a general, righteousness is not good, it has been the same since ancient times." ”

Liu Yu said: "But the killing and surrender is ominous, and it has been the same since ancient times, since the ancient white, Li Guang, a generation of famous generals, all ended badly because of the killing and surrender." ”

Xie Xuan smiled slightly: "You only saw the ending of Bai Qi and Li Guang, but have you ever thought that these two people can become famous generals in the ancient times and make their subordinates willing to serve the dead, isn't it just by this means?" As a general, the first thing you have to think about is how to break the enemy, and the second thing is how to seek benefits for your subordinates. If you can't do one of these two things, it's hard to win on the battlefield. ”

Liu Yu shook his head in disbelief: "The subordinates didn't use this trick, didn't they also win the enemy's army?" The friendship between brothers is not such a cold interest. ”

Xie Xuan sighed: "You can get along with dozens of them, hundreds of them, one or two thousand people day and night, but you can't eat and live with tens of thousands of sergeants like this." The human heart is the most difficult thing in the world to master, especially the army, soldiers come from all corners of the world, and everyone thinks differently. Only on the battlefield is meritorious and meritorious service, and this is common. You can talk to dozens of people, hundreds of people, and be a big brother, but you can't be like this with tens of thousands of people, and you have to come up with enough things worthy of their death. ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Then take these tens of thousands of brothers to make meritorious contributions, win battles, win big battles, and can also kill the head of the enemy army on the battlefield, why do you have to kill and surrender this way?" ”

Xie Xuan didn't seem to expect Liu Yu to answer like this, he was stunned at first, and then laughed: "Xiaoyu is Xiaoyu, this arrogance is really powerful." You're right, if you're a general, you can command your subordinates to win a big battle, then you can really bring enough benefits to your subordinates. But this time the situation is special, because the Qin army was defeated without a fight, we could not kill a large number of enemy troops on the battlefield, and if these people were captured, according to the military system of the Great Jin, it would not be counted as a capture, then it would be a big loss for ordinary soldiers. ”

Speaking of this, Xie Xuan paused and looked at Liu Yu: "Xiao Yu, you took thousands of soldiers in front of you to eliminate 20,000 difficult cavalry, these are real credits, even if you don't take it to heart, but following your brothers have gained a lot of benefits, and even those blacksmiths can directly get rid of the identity of craftsman logistics and transfer to the combat unit, so of course they are happy, but you must know that there are nearly 80,000 soldiers, without your good luck, everyone can get credit, Therefore, Liu Gaozhi and they used this way to find some benefits for their subordinates, military merits, and I could only turn a blind eye. ”

Liu Yu understood now and sighed: "I know today, as a general, you have to consider not only the outcome of the war, but also all aspects, which is really troublesome." Forget it, Xuan Shuai, I still reserve my own opinion on this matter, but I always think that prisoners of war can be killed today, and maybe they can be killed tomorrow, and this wind still can't rise! ”

Xie Xuan's expression changed: "Liu Gaozhi said that he wanted to kill the good and take the risk?" ”

Liu Yu shook his head: "No, but I think that if it goes on like this, if the Northern Expedition reaches the territory of the enemy army in the future, I am afraid that I will not be able to kill the red-eyed sergeant, once I can't get the head on the battlefield, then it is logical to kill the enemy's people, if I want to go on the Northern Expedition in the future, it is still necessary to win the hearts of the people in the north, and they must not be regarded as enemies, let alone slaughtered casually, this point is also for Xuan Shuai to pay attention to." ”

Xie Xuan said: "I will definitely pay attention to this, this time is a special matter, I also need to let the soldiers maintain the instinct of this beast before the next war, but after the next time, it may not be like this." ”

Liu Yu's face changed, and he said strangely: "The next war? Xuan Shuai means that the Qin army will soon make a comeback? Not so fast. After all, our army wiped out 80,000 Qin troops this time, even if the Qin State is strong, it is not so easy to slow down. ”

Xie Xuan smiled and waved his hand: "Xiaoyu, you still underestimate Qin Guo and underestimate Fu Jian. Look at it, this time Fu Jian won a big victory in Jingzhou and captured Xiangyang, but he was defeated in Lianghuai, and the 80,000 army was wiped out, with his personality, he will never stop here, he will definitely raise a national army to fight with us, get ready, next, the storm is coming, and you will definitely be useful! ”

Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "This day, I can't wait, don't worry, Xuan Shuai, I won't let you down!" (End of Volume 2)
