Chapter 437

When Lu Fenghou and Chen moved back, they walked with their arms. Talking and laughing while walking, it seems that two people have changed. The two of them had been wrong, and they were just kicking off when they talked, but now they look like a pair of old friends who have known each other for many years.

But no matter what you think, these two people are too ferocious.

Their armor and clothes had long been soaked with blood. When they walked, blood flowed all the way along their clothes. Where I walked, I left a string of blood footprints.

Two men were followed by their own soldiers, at least one with six heads in his hand.

It is hard to imagine the scene of a hundred people chasing two thousand people running around on the top of the mountain.

These soldiers of Fang Xie completely frightened Liu Lanzi's mountain bandits. They had never seen a team that killed faster than cutting vegetables. These soldiers Fang Xie personally trained for several months. What they are best at is the special operations of small force raids. The two men counted the teams they took respectively, and a total of more than 780 heads were cut off.

The average person killed more than seven people.

There is only one way up the mountain, and naturally there is only one way down the mountain. After Chen Dongshan and Lu Fenghou took people up, the bandits didn't even have a way out. In fact, these mountain bandits dare to kill, but they don't kill many people. There's a big difference between stabbing with a knife and killing with a knife. There are not even one tenth of the real bloodthirsty bandits.

At the corner of the mountain road was their natural fortress. It was against the terrain that they just stopped the rebels from going up the mountain. But this time they are facing a group of fighting machines. Fang Xie's personal team is originally the elite selected. Coupled with Fang Xie's personal training, it has matured rapidly over the past few days. They have no likes or dislikes for killing people. They regard killing as a part of life, regardless of whether they are afraid or not.

In their view, killing is as simple as eating and drinking water.

Later, the rebels who dared to resist were killed by the team of 100 people. Where else had the courage to take weapons, they all knelt down and begged for mercy. The gap between the people with murder weapons and the killing machines is still too big. Chen Moshan and Lu Fenghou took 50 people each, and the two front arrow arrays were unstoppable.

They were not stopped at the corner of the mountain road, let alone after going up.

As a matter of fact, ten thousand rebels did not fight down a cliff, but one hundred fangxie soldiers fought down. It is not that fangxie's people are 100 times stronger than the rebel soldiers. But lies in training and personal martial arts, coupled with the cooperation between teams. The rebels are also people who have been kidnapped. After the death of people, their hearts have trembled. Moreover, they will only rush forward, which is better than the seamless cooperation between the soldiers above.

"General, I lost!"

Lu Fenghou came over and said, but his tone was no longer unconvinced.

Chen Dongshan personally cut Liu mangzi's head and killed four more people than him. Lu Fenghou is a magnanimous man and will not continue to be hypocritical.

"Search and see how many things these mountain thieves have available."

Fang Xie gave an order.

Chen Moshan threw Liu Lanzi's head to the ground, smiled and said, "I thought the right man had much ability. It turned out that he was just a cruel thing with ordinary martial arts. He was just a wicked man. No one dared to resist other mountain thieves after Liu Lanzi died. About 16700 people were kneeling there."

Fang Xie gave a sound, looked back at sun Kaidao and asked, "Lord Sun, what do you think of my rebels who are better than Yin Po Shan?"

Sun Kaidao looked at Liu mangzi's head and swallowed hard. "The difference between clouds and mud... Xiaguan... Xiaguan has opened his eyes and gained insight today."

"Let me ask you."

Fang Xie said as he walked, "what about the more than 1000 prisoners?"

Sun Kaidao was silent for a moment and said: "Morally, if the general doesn't intend to keep these prisoners, he can let them go. But these people have drunk human blood, so it's difficult to change from wild animals to ordinary people. The general mercifully let them go, and they are honest two days a day. After a month or two, they will become bandits. They work hard to farm and don't have enough food and clothing a year. Can they be thieves? Rob once, enough to eat It's much easier to wear it for a period of time and rob it after eating it than farming. "

Fang Xie looked at him: "you see it thoroughly."

Sun Kaidao nodded: "I've seen a lot in the past two years, so I'm thorough. If a person doesn't do bad things all his life and doesn't know the taste of doing bad things, he won't change anything. But as long as he does bad things once and hasn't been punished, he will become addicted and become more and more intense."

Fang Xie asked, "do you mean to kill all these people?"

"Although it's not once and for all, it can at least keep peace for a while."

Sun Kaidao boxing: "The general is not a kind-hearted woman. You should know what the lower official said is right. These people are no longer the people of the Sui Dynasty. Even if the general releases them, they will gather again immediately after the general's men leave. Wang Baichuan, the magistrate of Qu county next to Wan County, is a kind man. Although he had to surrender the rebels, he still did his duty and organized the people to resist the chaos Bandits are loved by the people because they take the lead. "

"But this man is kind-hearted. He broke a bandit and killed the leader. The rest of them were released. Sometimes if the leader of the bandit begged to admit his mistake, he would also release him. This Liu mangzi had been captured by Wang Baichuan at the beginning. Liu mangzi knelt down and cried for mercy. Wang Baichuan thought of his repentance and let him and the bandits go, so that he would promise not to make trouble again. But that night, taking advantage of the people's courage, he returned home At home, Liu mangzi broke into Wang Baichuan's house with dozens of people and killed all the more than 20 members of the Wang family. "

At the same time, Chen Dongshan and Lu Fenghou changed their faces. Lu Fenghou angrily said, "this kind of animal scum is not wronged to kill 10000 times!"

Zhuo Buyi sighed. He wanted to persuade Fang Xie not to kill too many people, but he couldn't find a reason anymore. The northwest is so chaotic that there is no moral kindness to survive. Here is full of evil and ugliness. People's hearts have become evil and beast hearts in only two years.

"Can you accept the teaching?"

Mu Xiaoyao is a woman after all. He can't bear to see so many people killed.

"No."

Chen Xiaoru said, "we can't take the burden now."

Mu Xiaoyao was stunned and said nothing. He knew that Chen Xiaoru was right. The team could not take a group of mobs through the rebel territory. It was possible that these people would even tire the team of 5000 people to death.

Everyone looked to Fang Xie and waited for his decision.

……

……

This will never be the first time Fang Xie has faced this situation. How to open this head and how to go in the future. Fang Xie knows this well. If you don't kill them, most of these people are not locals, so it's unrealistic to let them go home. But once released, the front feet of the team will be pulled out, and their back feet will gather together again, because they will have no way to live if they don't rob or kill.

Liu Lanzi died, but soon a vicious role will emerge from these people to replace Liu Lanzi and continue to make trouble with more than 1000 people.

If all of them are killed, it's still hard for Fang Xie to step through the pass in his heart. After all, it was more than 1000 lives, and they were all people of the great Sui Dynasty.

Fang Xie looked at the prisoners kneeling in the open space in front of him, and his face was dignified. His men are waiting for him to make a decision. There are people who support killing and people who support not killing. Although Shen qingfan and WAN Yan Yunshu didn't speak, they must have the same mind as Mu Xiaoyao. Although Shen qingfan is cold and doesn't care about killing, after all, it's 16700 lives.

Among his men, although Chen Moshan was angry, he did not advocate killing them all. Zhuo Buyi was not hard hearted, and naturally he could not see such a thing as killing prisoners.

Most of the others are in favor of killing.

The reason for those who advocate not to kill is that although these bandits have committed many evils, it is the troubled times, the rebels, not themselves that have forced them to this step. They were once the people of the Sui Dynasty. Without Li Yuanshan's rebellion, they could not have picked up a hoe to kill their former villagers.

There is only one reason for those who advocate killing.

Whether they used to be ordinary people or villains, they deserve to die. Because they are on the side of disaster, they do not know how many people have been killed by them, their wives and daughters have been raped and raped, and the old and weak have been slaughtered. Liu Lanzi likes to peel people's skin. After breaking a village, he will gather the villagers and choose beautiful women to enjoy himself. If he doesn't follow, he will let his confidants rape the woman in front of the people of the whole village, and then peel people's skin alive.

The reason is that no matter how kind you used to be, you should be punished for doing evil.

Fang Xie walked slowly to a mountain bandit who looked about 30 years old. The mountain bandit bowed his head and dared not lift it up. Fang Xie stood in front of him and stared at him, as if he wanted to see through his body and see his soul. But this is impossible. Fang Xie is not God and can't do this.

"Have you ever killed anyone?"

Fang Xie asked him.

The man quickly shook his head: "no, no! The grass people are coerced and have never done evil. The grass people just... They are greedy for life and fear death, but they have never done anything harmful to nature and justice!"

Fang Xie suddenly reached out and grabbed the clothes behind the man and tore them fiercely.

There are several deep scars on the man's back. I can see that it's a nail scratch. Because it's too deep, it won't disappear from his back in this life.

The man looked at Fang Xie in horror and daze. He seemed to have forgotten the deep scratch on his back.

Yes, he forgot.

Fang Xie didn't speak any more and went on. He saw a boy who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, kneeling on the ground, his body still shaking.

"Afraid of death?"

Fang Xie asked him.

The young man raised his head and looked at Fang Xie in fear: "I'm afraid... General, please spare the grass people's life. The grass people swear that they will never do evil again. After the grass people go back to farming honestly, they will never follow others out to do evil! The grass people know it's wrong... General, spare your life..."

"Are you begging for mercy?"

Fang Xie asked.

"Grass people... Grass people don't want to die. General, please forgive me."

Fang Xie shook his head. "Did the people you killed beg for mercy when you killed them? Did you ever let them go because they asked for mercy?"

The boy's expression was stiff, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Fang Xie didn't ask again and didn't go any further.

He glanced at the bandits kneeling on the ground, and his face gradually calmed down. He had never thought that he would face such a choice before. In fan Gu's time, he didn't want to kill. Even in the face of those murderous horse thieves, he just shot an arrow and didn't kill himself. Later, after he left fan Gu, more and more lives were saved in his hands, but those people were killed by him because they wanted to kill him.

Now, he is facing another group of people.

It is also a group of people that must be faced by leaders in the future.

They are not prisoners in the ordinary sense, but a group of bandits. When the two armies fought, no one was willing to kill prisoners easily. But now the situation is different, so Fang Xie must make his own decision.

In the future, he may continue to face this choice.

He won't think of these things until he leads the army.

"General"

The big dog looked at Fang Xie and said seriously, "you may not have expected to face such a choice before, but when I was the prince, the Taifu once asked me how to choose in such a situation. My original answer was not to kill. The Taifu said I was a benevolent man and he smiled very happily."

Without waiting for the big dog to finish, Fang Xie waved his hand: "kill"

The big dog opened his mouth and didn't go on. He recalled that Taifu did laugh happily when he heard his answer and said he was a benevolent man. But the disappointment in Taifu's eyes is so strong

Kill!

A word, floating in the valley.
