Chapter 159 Giving You 1 Ration Is Not Saving the World
Zong Yanli stopped and walked along the way, and even when he stopped, he met some fearless refugees who were so hungry that they even wanted to break into the enemy's camp.
That would have been fine, but there were also people kneeling on the ground begging for food, young and old, kneeling on the ground. Perhaps because they saw that the Wu army did not burn, kill or rob along the way, they thought they could get some mercy.
Or maybe there were people who claimed to be "smart" who gave some advice, saying that the Wu army came here to save the world.
Since you have come to save the world, how can you ignore the suffering of the people?
As the rumor spread, Lu Ruiguang in Yao'an Pass probably also smelled it, and pushed it secretly, even quietly arranged for spies to infiltrate the people, in order to incite the people and spread the rumor widely, as if he wanted to trap Zong Yanli with "kindness".
I am sure that Zong Yanli will not kill ordinary people. It would be even better if we can force Zong Yanli to provide porridge and food!
Naturally, most of the people who were begging outside the military camp were real civilians, and no one would remain unmoved by this.
Of course—
"One step closer, kill one person!" While they were still worrying about how to deal with these refugees, Zong Yanli had already issued a cruel military order. The generals sitting in the tent seemed to be completely at odds with the person who took the child with tenderness on the street.
"If we take a step back, we will become weaker." Zong Yanli's eyes were cold and stern, and he said with a fierce look in his eyes: "Remember, we are soldiers! We are generals!"
What is salvation?
Giving you a mouthful of food is not saving the world!
What she wanted to do was never just what was happening right now, and she would never allow herself to have any weaknesses.
The people are pitiful and innocent, but these are not reasons for them to dare to challenge the military authority, make fun of our soldiers, and threaten us!
Persuade them to disperse, and those who refuse to comply will be shot on the spot!
Zong Yanli sat upright in the military tent, her face solemn beneath the visor, except for her eyes which were resolute and fearless. She said, "I am Zong Yanli, why should I be afraid of another life?"
Gongsun Pu, Zhan Haoyue and others were filled with emotion when they saw this scene. What Zong Yanli did as a general made them admire him very much. Anyone else might hesitate and think deeply before making a decision.
Zong Yanli always knows firmly what she wants to do and deeply understands the responsibilities she shoulders. She will not be shaken by anything.
But even such a person has her own softness, how precious is that?
"I kind of understand why you are willing to risk your life to follow such a master." Zhan Haoyue sighed deeply and turned his head to look at Gongsun Pu.
"Wujiu is wrong." Gongsun Pu smiled and said, "He is our lord."
Zhan Haoyue was stunned, and then the two of them looked at each other and laughed.
Zong Yanli used such brutal means to shoot the civilians, which directly interrupted Lu Ruiguang's next move.
Before Lu Ruiguang could react, Zong Yanli had already led his troops to the city and launched an attack on Yao'an Pass.
Perhaps it was the anger accumulated from what they saw along the way, or perhaps it was the grief and indignation in their hearts, but this time the soldiers attacking the city seemed to be full of energy, extremely brave and fierce, as if they couldn't wait to kick open the gate of Yao'an Pass with one kick.
It's a pity that Lu Ruiguang had already prepared for the city defense, so Zong Yanli was unable to capture it despite such an offensive. However, it also allowed Lu Ruiguang to witness the power of the Wu army.
"This time, the Wu army's siege has not yet been deployed, but our army has been overwhelmed! If the Wu army uses chariots next time, how are we going to defend the city!?" Lu Ruiguang's eyes were bloodshot, and he came down from the city wall covered in dust and dirt, and he couldn't help but shouting impatiently.
"General, please calm down." The generals beside him also had bitter expressions on their faces.
Who would have thought that Luoshang Pass would surrender after only defending for such a short time?
They had been making preparations in a hurry, but they didn't expect the Wu army to arrive so soon. Now there are not many supplies left in the pass, and they are really worried about how to defend the city!
Lu Ruiguang took a handkerchief and wiped the ashes off his face, then turned to look at an old man next to him. The old man had a white beard and looked like an immortal.
Lu Ruiguang frowned and asked worriedly, "What do you think, old gentleman?"
"In my opinion, if we just defend the city gate, we won't be able to hold out for long." The old man sighed and said in a deep voice, "We need to be both offensive and defensive. If we defend while attacking, we still have a chance of winning."
"Attack? How to attack?" Lu Ruiguang frowned and asked uncertainly: "Go out of the city and attack?"
"Yes, we will split the team into guerrilla warfare to disrupt the enemy." The old man stroked his beard, squinted his eyes and nodded.
Lu Ruiguang pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
It can be seen that Lu Ruiguang trusted and valued this old man very much. It was also his strategy to arrange for spies to pretend to be refugees and incite the people.
Jin Guangji is already seventy years old and has some difficulty in moving. When he was young, he boasted of his intelligence because of his father's words "Jinling is not a fish in the pond", and since then he embarked on the road of studying. However, the road was extremely bumpy and he ultimately failed.
In the end, he only gained a little fame and was invited by Lu Ruiguang to come to Yao'anguan to live out his life and die.
