Xue Rengui stood in front of Suning with a pale face, looking at Suning still dealing with Wen Jiàn on the table as if he was fine, picking up the tea bowl from time to time and taking a sip, and Zhang Shigui who was sitting on the side was also dealing with something, both of them were the same leisure and comfort, and they couldn't see any worries and humanitarian thoughts about this Goguryeo plague, thinking of the hundreds of Goguryeo refugees who died tragically, Xue Rengui's heart was cold.

"The Marquis Su in my memory is a good marquis who will think about the people, a good man who will spare no money to eat meat for the craftsmen who work, a good man who will provide cattle and land for his farmers at any cost, a good man who will give him a bite to eat when someone is hungry and can't eat, a good man who is a poor family scrambling to send their children into the house, but since when has Su Hou Ye become so ruthless?" Xue Rengui said in a low voice.

Zhang Shigui's hand trembled, looked up at Suning, his heart has not been calm, obviously, although years of conquest have made him practice a hard-hearted heart, but even so, for the slaughter of unarmed refugees, he is somewhat taboo, since ancient times, there is a saying that there are only three generations of generals, all because the killing of generals is too much, and it is understandable to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but the matter of killing prisoners and civilians really makes him feel uneasy, after doing the first time, he never has the idea of doing a second time.

However, people are different, some people advocate not killing prisoners, some people advocate killing all prisoners, Zhang Liang is an iron-blooded faction, Zhang Shigui is a moderate, but in this matter, Zhang Shigui has the same attitude as Suning Zhang Liang. You can't put your soldiers in danger because of the so-called ignorant kindness, as for Xue Rengui, you don't have to care about him at all, this is the case in the army, but Suning seems to attach great importance to Xue Rengui, and it was Suning who promoted Xue Rengui at the beginning, it seems that for Xue Rengui, Suning always has a special feeling.

So Zhang Shigui didn't say a word, here. He is not fit to say anything.

"But I am also the general who burned 30,000 Turks to death with one fire. Or the general who killed 100,000 Lingzhou Hu people, and the general who captured 200,000 wingmen in World War I, why don't you say this? Suning also responded lightly, not forgetting to drink a cup of tea.

"But they're all healthy! It's normal. No infection with the plague. Just looking for a way to live. There are also descendants of my people who can speak Chinese, why don't you give them a way to live! Xue Rengui was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly with grief and indignation.

Suning frowned: "Presumptuous! This is your attitude towards the chief general in the army?! This general is the deputy commander of the Liaodong Road march. Your immediate boss, the rules of the army, you should understand! ”

Xue Rengui was stunned, then took a deep breath, then knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Humble duty knows mistakes!" ”

Suning continued: "You say those people are healthy, they are healthy? You say they didn't get the plague, they didn't get the plague? Are you a soldier or a healer? Do you know about the plague? Do you know about the plague? Will you be able to cure the plague? A plague at the end of the Han Dynasty directly turned tens of millions of people into bones, and if the plague in the Tang Dynasty a few years ago had not been developed by Mr. Sun Simiao, I don't know how many people would have died!

You want to let them in, so do you know how the plague is contagious? Tong guò water? Or your spit? Or will you get infected if you touch it with your hands? Spread the word to the hundred, and before you even found out, he took your life! You're dead! You have to remember that you are a general of the Tang Dynasty, a person from the Tang Dynasty, not a Goguryeo person, to put it harshly, does the life or death of the Goguryeo people have anything to do with me? Didn't you see the Jingguan of those former Sui soldiers on the border of Yingzhou?!

You want to save those hundreds of people, so you have to drag tens of thousands of Tang soldiers and innocent people into danger throughout the Liaodong Peninsula? Can you guarantee that we won't get the plague because of this? Can you guarantee that we will be saved if we are infected with the plague?! Mr. Sun is still in the grassland! There are not a few doctors left in the entire Chang'an General Hospital, do you think we can be rescued within three days? Can you carry it!? Confused!

Come! Press Xue Li into the black room, confinement for three days and three nights, cut off one qiē position from now on, and the position in the army will be temporarily replaced by his deputy general, you give me a good sober three days, and I will come to you again after three days, drag out! With a wave of his hand, two strong soldiers disarmed Xue Rengui, and then one of them grabbed Xue Rengui's arm and took Xue Rengui, who was still a little depressed.

After everyone left, Zhang Shigui looked at Suning, who was a little absent-minded, and smiled: "Originally, I didn't understand why His Majesty knew that there was an old man and General Zhang here, but he still handed over the position of the chief general to you, and let you control all the troops, but now the old man understands, he really deserves to be the leader of the younger generation, no wonder His Majesty trusts you so much, you have done a good job, call the old man to do it, that's it, you seem to have always valued Xue Li, the old man is afraid that you can't do it, and you will break the rules." ”

Suning shook his head, sighed and said: "Xue Li is a natural general, so I insisted on letting him enter the military university, and later it was confirmed that I did not do anything wrong, but compared to those old generals who have fought and killed decisively all their lives, he has learned some Confucian principles, pays attention to benevolence, and hopes to become a Confucian general like Zhou Yu, which is also inevitable, but I do not exclude him from doing so."

At the beginning, General Cheng told me that people who are used to being ruthless to themselves are just groveling and cowardly to outsiders, but those who are used to outsiders will definitely be more ruthless to themselves, I just hope that he will be clear about the priorities of things, and I don't want him to really become a butcher.

On these issues, I can restrain myself, when to kill and when not to kill, so as not to let myself become a bloody butcher, most of the people I killed were soldiers, armed with weapons, the only time I killed civilians was Hu Xuebu, after that, I had some confusion about myself, at the beginning I saw the mutilated soldiers and innocent Han daughters, I only thought about the bloody Lingzhou Hu people to take revenge, but after I really did it, I had some other feelings in my heart, and the reason why I insisted on labor reform, It's also the hope that there won't be too much killing.

Then I started to understand something. I also understood those words, but for Rengui, I don't have much confidence, he is not only a general, but also a handsome talent, can be in charge alone, but if he can't tell when to be merciful and when not to be merciful, when to kill and when not to kill, then he can only be a pioneer under me for the rest of his life, merciful to the enemy. Sometimes it's not necessarily cruelty to yourself. Of course, that depends on how to define the scope of the enemy, after all, the enemy is first and foremost a human being. ”

Zhang Shigui nodded approvingly, and then said with deep feelings: "I am a military general. That's what troubles there are. Sometimes I hate those bastards to death. obviously said that he would kill them all, but in the end, there will always be some compassion in his heart, knowing that this will be called ignorant and stupid. But they couldn't help but do it, the old man killed a prisoner, killed them in the pit, and some civilians who assisted them in the war, and then for more than ten days in a row, the old man did not sleep well.

So since then, the old man has paid special attention to who can kill and who can't be killed, who should be killed, who should not be killed, and kill those who have surrendered, because their resistance is too fierce, resulting in many deaths and injuries among the old man's soldiers, the old man is really angry, so he killed them to calm the hatred in his heart, but in the end, the hatred is gone, and there is more fear, and the old man can't be hard-hearted, probably as General Tongcheng said, people who are used to outsiders will be more ruthless to themselves. ”

Suning sighed, looked in the direction outside the tent and said, "I hope that these three days can make him figure out these things, and then I can rest assured that he will be in charge of a battlefield alone...... Okay, Gong Zhang, let's discuss how to deal with this plague, although it is unlikely to spread to us, but we must always be prepared.

Moreover, we can't just watch the men, women, and children of Goguryeo die together, even if it is purely from the perspective of destroying Goguryeo, it is not good for us to all of them to die, they are all dead, and we have to move the people here, but we want to use this as the rear of the attack on the Japanese state, and if this place is completely destroyed, we will not be able to get any benefits. ”

Zhang Shigui said: "Yes, we must also be just in case, otherwise, if we are really infected with the plague, we will all suffer!" ”

Suning said: "I have written a note to His Majesty, I hope that His Majesty can send some doctors who have studied the plague over, although most of the people in the Chang'an General Hospital have gone to the grassland, but the situation here should be more urgent, the support for doctors in recent years, there should always be a large number of doctors, and the research on the plague in the Chang'an General Hospital should have almost made some progress......"

Waited until Xue Rengui came out of the small black room with weak legs, and then Suning personally made him a big pot of braised pork and a pot of rice, and he devoured it in one breath and ate it clean and completely returned to his soul, and then cried bitterly and confessed his mistake on the third day, Suning's twist and turn was sent to Chang'an City by 800 miles of urgency, and was sent to Li Erma's hands for the first time. Only then did I know that there was an outbreak of plague in Goguryeo.

In the letter, Suning told about the suddenness of the outbreak of the plague, the ferocity of the attack, the severity of the symptoms, and the ferocity of taking people's lives, not to mention that if left alone, even if the plague does not spread to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that after the plague is over, the Goguryeo people will die, and even the Silla and Baekje people will suffer if they don't do well, and the Liaodong Peninsula is afraid that it is also very dangerous.

Li Er's majesty was a little surprised, if he had put it before, he would obviously be very happy, the Goguryeo people made him so busy for more than a month to eat badly, and it was good that he was all dead, but now his anger has gradually calmed down, the death of the Goguryeo people is not good for the Tang Dynasty, there is the starting point for the Tang Dynasty to eliminate Silla and Baekje and the Wa Kingdom, and the people there are all dead, which is a big trouble for the Tang Dynasty, which means that it is going to emigrate again.

But the life of the Tang Dynasty is so chic, who wants to go to the ominous place where all the people have just died? If something haunted happens, and it is exaggerated, it is estimated that no one will want to set foot there in ten years, and it will be a complete dead place.

This is also a coincidence, Sun Simiao led the team of the Chang'an General Hospital military medical regiment returned to Chang'an City last night, Li Er Majesty Xià specially opened the city gate to express their commendation, generally speaking, no matter who it is, at night is not to enter Chang'an City, the emperor can't, but they really did it, this time, the military doctors and medical soldiers of the Chang'an General Hospital have made great contributions, months of thousands of miles of raids and fierce battles, and the death was charged within 9,000 people, which was unimaginable in the past.

Although there were some thoughts about letting them rest for a while, but the matter was urgent, Li Er decided to call Sun Simiao into the palace immediately and ask him what he thought. (To be continued......)
