Chapter 890: Fame or Life
Just when Gao Shun at the head of the city was hesitating, the Huns advanced some distance again, and the vanguard had already crossed the moat.
"Gao Shun, what are you doing?"
Suddenly, a voice came.
The figures of Guo Jia and Cai Yu appeared on the city wall.
Lord!
Gao Shun breathed a sigh of relief.
He's always been in a dilemma.
Now that Guo Jia is here, he can be regarded as completely liberated.
Lord!
Xi Zhong hurriedly stepped forward and was about to say something, but was stopped by Guo Jia.
Guo Jia's eyes have been fixed on Gao Shun's body.
The latter felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look into Guo Jia's eyes.
Keep your head up!
Guo Jia suddenly shouted.
Promise!
Gao Shun immediately stood up straight, held his head high, and looked ahead.
"At this moment, you are the commander of the army, and the safety of more than 100,000 people in the entire city is at stake. For every moment you hesitate, many brothers die. Every moment you hesitate, the city is at risk of being destroyed. You didn't hesitate for a moment, and the hundreds of thousands of people in the city became the souls of the Huns. ”
Guo Jia said word by word: "Gao Shun, can you tell me, what are you doing again?" ”
Gao Shun's body trembled, and he said loudly: "Report to the lord, I was wrong!" ”
He has been woken up by Guo Jia's scolding.
Now Gao Shun is the supreme person in charge of defending the city.
He was responsible for the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the entire city.
He can naturally distinguish which is more important.
"Got it, why don't you go?"
Guo Jia shouted.
Promise!
Gao complied, turned and trotted down to get ready to go.
Lord!
Xi Zhong hurriedly advised: "You can't fight!" ”
He pointed to the people below: "These are your future reputations!" ”
Xi Zhong can be regarded as well-intentioned.
If Guo Jia chooses to do it to the people at this time, he will inevitably have an unkind reputation.
This is a great loss for the great cause in the future.
Hehe!
Guo Jia sneered and said, "They are people, but the soldiers at the head of the city are not people?" Just for the sake of a false name, I want to watch the brothers who defend the city die senselessly? Do the hundreds of thousands of lives of Lu Nu have to be buried for this false name? ”
Lord!
Xi Zhong's body trembled, and he heard Guo Jia's anger.
However, he still stubbornly said: "The harm of the two phases is less than the other." The Huns came in, and we might not lose. But at this moment, what is done to these innocent people is the hearts of the people. The world of the people since ancient times. This time we chose to win, but what we lost was the hearts and minds of the whole world. ”
He is not a person who does not know the importance of the matter, but he just wants to save these people as much as possible.
People's hearts!
Guo Jia smiled dumbly.
"Justice is in the hearts of the people!"
He said coldly: "How have I, Guo Jia, treated the people since my debut? The people of Yunzhou know it very well in their hearts. It wasn't the literati who praised it. Now that the matter is critical, I can only sacrifice a small part in exchange for the vast majority. ”
Guo Jia is not a person who sells fame and reputation, so he has never pretended to be in governance.
As for the slander of those literati, he didn't take it to heart at all.
Besides, he has suffered less slander over the years, and it is not worse than this.
"Lord, you are confused!"
Xi Zhong paused and said: "You were slandered before, and it was because others didn't understand. Over the years, Yunzhou has been thriving, and it has gradually been accepted by people, and it won't be long before you become the benevolent lord of the world. Can't let this little thing ruin Yunzhou's future. ”
He took a deep breath and said, "Lord, you have to think twice!" ”
In fact, Xi Zhong is still a Confucian in his bones, a teacher of heaven and earth, he hopes that Guo Jia can become a generation of benevolent soldiers, and he also hopes that Guo Jia can receive the support of scholars.
To this end, Xi Zhong and his colleagues have made a lot of efforts, and they have gradually received great results.
But today, as long as Guo Jia gives an order, all their efforts will come to naught.
Not only that, Guo Jia will also have a reputation for tyranny, which will not be beneficial to Yunzhou's future.
Fame?
Guo Jia brushed his sleeves and said: "I, I don't care!" Even if it's tyrannical? I can't ruin everything in Yunzhou because of a little woman's kindness. ”
Xi Zhong couldn't help but take a few steps back, his face was miserable.
He knew that he could no longer persuade Guo Jia.
If Guo Jia insists on doing so, the future of Yunzhou may be a little bleak.
"Catapult ready!"
Under Gao Shun's order, the catapults on the head of the city began to be debugged, and the gunners had already prepared boulders.
Gunpowder could not be used, and the city had been replaced with boulders.
At the sound of an order, these boulders will rush towards the crowd without hesitation.
Wait a minute!
Cai Yu suddenly stopped Gao Shun.
Second Miss!
Seeing Cai Yu suddenly stand up, hope rose in Xi Zhong's heart again.
I can't persuade Guo Jia anymore, but this second lady may have this ability, after all, she is Guo Jia's most favored person.
"Do you want me to make a name for myself, too?"
Guo Jia asked coldly.
Although Cai Yu's standing up made him a little puzzled, he had already made up his mind, and no one could make him change his mind.
No, no, no!
Cai Yu hurriedly shook his head.
This girl doesn't have any habits of compassion, and no matter how many people in the city die, it has nothing to do with her.
The only thing she cares about is Guo Jia herself.
"Mr. Xi, what you just said was that if the general ordered a counterattack and killed those people, he would have a reputation for being brutal and unkind, right?"
Cai Yu suddenly focused on Xi Zhong.
Not bad!
Xi Zhong nodded.
"Well, what if these people didn't die at the hands of the Great General?"
Cai Yu asked again.
Xi Zhong thought for a while and said, "I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me." Although the lord did not kill them with his own hands, he ordered the soldiers to fight back, and the consequences were the same. ”
He thought that Cai Yu was going to quibble that these people died at the hands of the soldiers and had nothing to do with Guo Jia.
But Guo Jia is the supreme commander, and his orders are only carried out by the soldiers, so the deaths of the people will also be counted on his head.
That's good!
Cai Yu nodded with a smile and said, "If the order was not given by the general, nor did it die at the hands of the soldiers, naturally he would not be blamed." ”
What the?
Xi Zhong was confused when he said this.
Could it be that these people will commit suicide?
Although the Lord is benevolent and righteous, the people will not be so grateful to Dade.
Guo Jia was also a little puzzled, he looked Cai Yu up and down, and suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart.
How does this girl look confident?
Did she really have some plans?
At this moment, there was a sudden earth-shattering roar, and the earth trembled a little.
Everyone's eyes immediately fell on the Tang River.
I saw the black water surging in the river, swarming in.
The Tang River is dead.
