Chapter 804 Right and Wrong
On this day, Deng Yin came with a group of soldiers and horses, but it was only to explore the truth and reality, first a round of arrows came over, and after a little fighting, he retreated. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
There was not much damage on either side, and only more than 100 people were killed or wounded.
"Deng Yin's attack this time is again. ”
Jiang Baijian closed his eyes slightly.
The last time it was a letter that shook people's hearts and secretly spread the news, trying to make the monarchs and ministers of Shu suspicious and cause turmoil.
This time it was another raid as a temptation.
This repeated temptation, if it is placed in advance, it is necessary to speculate whether Deng Yin has any alternative arrangements, or maybe has other ideas, and he cannot be distracted.
But thinking about it at the moment, Deng Yin was covering Chen Zhiyun and attracting the attention of his side, so that he couldn't be distracted, so he ignored Chen Zhiyun's actions.
"General. ”
A voice came from outside, saying, "This is the number of casualties counted by General Xie San. ”
Jiang Baijian said: "Take it." ”
Coming in was a small soldier, about fifteen or sixteen years old, looking very immature, but with a knife wound on his face, blood scabs and coagulated, not yet scarred.
Jiang Baijian took the origami from his hand, glanced at him, and said, "What's your name?"
Xiao Bing said in a low voice: "General Hui, his subordinate is surnamed Zhou, and it is called Friday." ”
"Friday? How old are you?"
"XVI. ”
"Void years?"
"Yes. ”
"Still young......" Jiang Baijian nodded, he glanced at the little soldier, and said, "Later, when you go to the back to get the medicine, let the medical officer show it to you, don't leave a scar." ”
"This ......," the little soldier was stunned for a moment, and said, "The medical officers are very busy, and they won't care about this little injury." ”
"Let's just say that it means the general. Jiang Baijian said: "It's so young, I can't leave a scar." ”
When the little soldier heard this, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he thought of his partners who fell on the battlefield, and his heart was very sad.
Jiang Baijian has been in charge of the army for many years, and he can probably know the emotions in the heart of this little soldier, and he can't help but be a little infected.
At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he is the most sentimental, and he has endured so many lives and deaths, the cruelty of this war, and the coldness of the world, which is not something that ordinary teenagers can persevere.
In previous years, I don't know how many young soldiers encountered this bloody storm, or stayed like a stake on the battlefield and became a living target, or they were so frightened that they went crazy and had no wit.
Those who can really survive on the battlefield are the elite.
This little soldier can be regarded as one of the elite.
"The war will not last. ”
Jiang Baijian suddenly said: "Whether it is for them or for us, the long-term attack and defense are unbearable, and it is impossible for us to retreat, so, in the end, Liang will retreat, don't worry." ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help asking, "You kid, is there anyone else in the family?"
Friday nodded and said, "I have a mother and a younger brother." ”
Jiang Baijian asked, "What about your father?"
Friday whispered, "I died in battle at Tojo Pass a few years ago. ”
Jiang Baijian didn't know how to answer for a while, and after a while, he said, "Have you ever thought about going home?"
Friday didn't deny it, nodded, and said, "Yes." ”
Jiang Baijian said with a smile: "After this while, I will allow you to go back to visit your relatives." ”
Friday's face was happy, but the next moment, he shook his head.
"Why?" Jiang Baijian shook his head when he saw him, and said in confusion.
"A lot of people want to go home. Friday thought for a while and said, "Our captain hasn't been home for ten years, and there are still many people who died on the battlefield, like Qi Xiao...... under our tent He is younger than me, and since he joined the army, he has been homesick, and he was still crying in the shower last night, but he can't go home anymore. ”
"Is he in this list?" Jiang Baijian looked at the piece of paper that recorded the list of the dead this time, and seemed to think of something.
"yes. Friday said in a low voice: "There is a younger brother in the subordinate family, so the general should let the others go home and take a look, right?"
"Hmm. Jiang Baijian closed his eyes and responded.
"General......" Friday gave a salute and said cautiously: "Subordinates retired?"
"Go ahead. Jiang Baijian raised his head slightly, his eyes closed, and waved his hand.
After about half a cup of tea, I saw Jiang Baijian open his eyes and sigh.
......
"General, what's the matter?"
Xie San walked in and found that Jiang Baijian's mood was not high, so he couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Baijian didn't answer, but just asked, "Do you think I'm right or wrong?"
Xie San looked very puzzled and said, "General, this is?"
Jiang Baijian and the little soldier's words were said one by one.
Even Xie San fell silent.
"There are countless young people like this. ”
Jiang Baijian said: "I'm thinking, for the sake of Shu, I guarded the Sword Gate Pass steadily, kept the Shu Kingdom immortal, the court was stable, and the people were not disturbed, this is a good thing, but is it really so?"
"I have been in the army since I was young, from the time I met Ge Xiang in Tianshui, until now, with what I have learned, I either defend the city or attack the city, all of which are in order, and there is no big mistake. ”
"However, if I hadn't defended the Sword Gate, would there have been fewer dead?"
"I thought I was defending my family and country, but in this way, in the dark, did I create a greater evil?"
Jiang Baijian rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I always thought that I could have a clear conscience, but now it seems that Jiang is really not a good person. After careful calculation, I don't know how many people have died between Liang and Shu over the years. ”
"If I hadn't blocked Ge Xiang when Tianshui was in the past, then Tianshui would have been easily obtained by Ge Xiang, and the damage to the two parties in the middle would have been much less. For example, if I hadn't come to stop Deng Yin before the Sword Gate was closed now, then the two sides of Liang and Shu, winning and losing, would it also reduce the casualties a lot?"
As he said this, he looked at Xie San.
Xie San was silent for a long time, and then said, "In the past two days, the general seems to have been a lot more sentimental. ”
Jiang Baijian said in a low voice: "Maybe I think that between the Liang Kingdom and the Shu Kingdom, there is going to be a winner and a loser, so it is inevitable that I will feel a little emotional." ”
He was born in the Liang State and now serves in the Shu State.
After this war, if the Jianmen Pass is lost, the Shu Kingdom will be destroyed.
This time, if the Jianmen Pass is firmly defended and Mr. Wen acts perfectly, then the Liang State is turbulent, and his army should be able to destroy the Liang State.
No matter which side wins or loses, for Jiang Baijian, it is inevitable that he will be full of emotion.
"The little soldier named Friday. ”
Jiang Baijian said in a low voice: "After this while, if he doesn't die on the battlefield, let him go home." ”
Xie San responded.
The situation of the battlefield is changing rapidly.
No matter which side it is, under the wind and grass, the decision-making of the superior can affect the life and death of countless people.
Here, human life is like a mustard, thousands or even hundreds of thousands of human lives, like ants, how can a single human life be eye-catching?
No one can guarantee that the young man will live.
"General......
Xie San stepped forward and was about to speak, when suddenly, his ears moved and stopped.
Jiang Baijian's perception was more acute than his, and his expression was suddenly solemn, and he said, "The eighth messenger is back." ”
He was also very concerned about the Yin Fu Pass, and even felt that it was the real battlefield, which was even more dangerous than the Jianmen Pass.
Hearing this voice, Jiang Baijian couldn't help but get up and walk out in person.
