Chapter 122

Qin Murong thought for a while, first quietly let leopard into the village to check.

Qin Murong is not so "delicate" as others just listen to what they say.

Qin Murong ordered the troops to be stationed near the village. Instead of robbing the village, he sent some food to the village, at least to let the villagers have a good meal first.

They are all old, weak, women and children. To tell you the truth, it is uncertain whether this village will survive after the war.

All Qin Murong can do is give them some food.

On the one hand, the reason for the stationing is to let the cavalry scouts continue to explore the surrounding situation.

Before they plundered these villages, they must have needed some supplies.

"Look." Gongsun said, "our army just came in and robbed, but did not kill people. On the contrary, your own army killed a lot of people because of catching strong men. You Daliang Tut Tut, it's not enough. "

Qin Murong sighed and said, "do you really think so?"

"What's the matter? Can't you? "

Gongsun felt a little happy to pull back.

Qin Murong sighed and said, "if you have such an idea, then Even if Beiqi is handed over to you, it's not a good thing, and You can't sit in that position. If you don't do it for a long time and the war starts again soon, I really don't know if it's right to help you. "

"What do you mean?"

Gongsun frowned.

Don't say, she's so beautiful. Even with her eyebrows frowning, she looks very pleasant.

Qin Murong said: "first of all, your troops in the Northern Qi Dynasty are not really kind-hearted. It's not that they don't kill them. It's that they know that they need to wander here for a long time. These villages will become their supply stations, so they leave their lives, even their seeds and grain. This It's a bandit's rule. You haven't heard of the saying that bandits will not be killed, have you? "

"You It's unreasonable

Qin Murong sighed and continued: "your brain must be transformed from a woman to a ruler. It's very difficult, so you need to learn. As for what those people in Daliang do, it's too much. But considering the long-term situation, there's nothing wrong with it. War needs people, and no one can be alone in the war. The same is true of this uninhabited village. Military service, labor service, and taxes are the obligations of a country's citizens. In return, it's the protection of the country, and there's no difference here It can also be regarded as the front line. Military service must be heavy. If they don't comply with the regulations, they must be guilty of death. It's nothing to say. Only when the war is over can these people return to the protection of the state of Daliang and live and work in peace and contentment for many years. In other words, if you didn't have the protection of Daliang before, if you had a little hard time in the Northern Qi Dynasty, you would find a way to go south, and the first thing to rob is them. For decades, peace has not been without cost. But now, when they pay for military service, are they against it? This is not a time of peace. No one will reason with you. Rules are rules, laws are laws, that's all

Gongsun wanted to quibble about something, but he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then bowed his head to think about it.

It seems that Qi Murong's words, she listened to some.

Qin Murong continued: "of course, I'm not satisfied with what the soldiers of Daliang do. Of course, they are more likely to be soldiers of Dazhu."

Gongsun asked, "what's wrong with you?"

Qin Murong said: "in the chaos of war, there must be bandits. Many of them are those who have lost their hometown and relatives. If they can't survive, they are ruthless. In order to survive, they are desperate to be bad guys. When they get used to it, they will become worse and worse, until they become bastards who burn, kill, rob and bully men and women. But what about the villagers? No matter whether they are forced or voluntary, they have already had military service. They have done their duty. So As a local army, they need to fulfill their obligations, which include protection! It is necessary to suppress bandits, even if it takes a lot of time and involves a lot of manpower. If you want to rule, you must do something that the rule needs to do. The so-called and wearing the crown must bear its weight! That's the truth. "

Gongsun nodded and said, "so you hate them because they didn't suppress bandits and bring security to these people?"

"Yes, that's it. Actually Some things look hard, but they're not that hard to do. "

Just then, the leopard came back.

He went to Qin Murong's side, arched his hand, but did not speak.

Qin Murong waved his hand and said, "it's OK. Now we are grasshoppers on the same rope with the long princess. Let her know something. It's nothing."

"Here it is The leopard let out a deep cry, and then said, "young master, according to the investigation, there are two gangs nearby, one is Qinglong village, the other is Wuliang Mountain. The former was set up by some people led by a former person in the Jianghu, and the latter was once a Taoist temple on the mountain. Because of the war, they went down the mountain to rob. Qinglong village is more ruthless, often leaving no survivors. Wuliang Mountain is better, isn't it The regular bandits. ""So..."

Qin Murong nodded.

The leopard quickly said, "we have captured a few of them. We should not be wrong about the information we got from" asking. "

It must be cruel to ask.

Qin Murong then said, "what kind of Qinglong village Kill them. Don't leave any survivors. The women and children who were captured by them can be rescued. Find a village to settle them. Children over three years old Ah, let's see them off, too, and get rid of their roots. "

In a few words, many people's lives are decided.

This made Gongsun's body tremble.

One day in the future, I can decide the life and death of others with just one word, and I will Can it really be done? So light? So It's like saying what to eat tonight, so simple?

Qin Murong continued: "as for Wuliang Mountain, they were originally monks. Going down the mountain to rob must be because there are too many people on the mountain and there is not enough food to eat. We can help them solve this problem. We will kill half of them and only half of them will be left. If there are fewer people, the food will be enough. We should not rob them."

"Here it is

Leopard took the order, and then directly transferred 3000 people, galloping away.

I'm afraid there will be a bloodbath.

Gongsun asked suspiciously: "why did Qinglong village cut down the grass and root, and the boys over three years old didn't stay, but Wuliang Mountain only killed half of the people? This Can you do it? "

"Oh, you don't know, boys, when they are three years old, they have experienced the life on the mountain. With memory and emotion, you can never imagine how stupid a bear child's idea will be and how crazy things they can do in the future. So it's better to kill clean. I don't have so much leisure to solve those future crises."

"No, I mean It seems a little unfair to treat them differently. "

"Oh! You say this... "

Qin Murong awkwardly scratched his head, and then said: "unfair? Hehe, let me ask you, what is the purpose of killing these bandits and dealing with them? Is it to make people feel at ease and do something to show my greatness? "

Gongsun frowned and shook his head: "you are not such a person. You don't seem to care much about reputation."

"Hey, you're right. I'm an extra son-in-law. What's my reputation? Even if I am full of aura in the future, as long as there is such a black spot on my body, then they will specially catch me, so fame? It's light. Besides, it's useless. "

"Oh..."

Gongsun heard that Qin Murong had such an embarrassing identity these days, and even looked down upon him, otherwise he would not have jumped out to refute him today.

Qin Murong continued: "so my purpose in doing these things is to see them pitiful and to make them safe. Do you understand? "

"I understand."

"Let me ask you another question. Can the bandits in this world be killed clean? Thousands of years ago, thousands of years later, will there be one day when there will be no more bandits? "

"This..." Gongsun shook his head and said, "it seems impossible."

"Yes, I can't kill all the bandits in the world even if I have the intention, and my original intention is to protect these villagers, so I let Wuliang Mountain go, not to give Wuliang Mountain people a chance of life, but to give these villagers a chance of life. "

After hearing this sentence, Gongsun was totally confused.

She couldn't turn around and asked stupidly, "you let the bandits go, but you give the villagers a chance to survive? This What's the point? "

"Don't you understand?"

"Well, I don't understand."

"Ah There's a lot you need to learn. "

Qin Murong had no choice but to smile bitterly. After a while, he explained: "in fact, this matter is very easy to understand. If I kill all the bandits I found, then What are the new bandits, or bandits from other places, most concerned about when they are committing crimes? What is the best way for them not to be found and not to be found? "

"What is it?"

"If you want, it can't be all me."

Gongsun thought for a moment, his eyes suddenly brightened, and said, "of course, kill all the people, and then burn down the village with fire. No one knows that they did it!"

"It's going on!" Qin Murong patted his thigh and said with a smile: "that's the truth. They will think that if they are caught, they will die. Can they keep alive and bring danger to themselves? It's better to kill them all, burn them all and leave no risk. That's the best way

"Well, that's it."

Qin Murong said: "so I have to leave those people in Wuliangshan to know that there is a difference in the crime of robbery. Murderers and arsonists, and robbers and robbers are all about to die, but those who just rob and don't kill and set fire are likely to save their lives. As long as this news is spread to a group of new bandits, do you think it's him When they commit crimes again, are they burning, killing and robbing, or just robbing but not killing? "Gongsun thought for a moment and suddenly said, "in that case, the probability that they will only rob but not kill is obviously higher!"

"Yes, only in this way can people's lives be saved."

Qin Murong sighed, stretched out his hand, patted Gongsun on the shoulder, and said: "in this world, many things are so helpless and complicated. I want to kill them all. How nice it is for everyone to be happy? But no, as long as I can't get rid of one thing completely, then What we have to do is to make a rule with them that everyone agrees with. As long as we all play in this rule and don't go too far, then we can really live in peace. Rule is easy to say, but in fact, it's not that easy? The things you will encounter in the future are much more complicated and tangled than those you encounter today. Find the core, make judgments, and take the ultimate interests as the starting point. Only in this way can you have long-term peace and stability. Ah So there's a lot you need to learn, a lot more. "

Qin Murong gave a bitter smile, then closed his eyes, as if he was very tired when he said these words.

A day later, the leopard came back with the man.

Most people are covered in blood.

Leopard nonstop, directly came to Qin Murong's front, said in a deep voice: "young master, things have been done."

"Is there any omission?"

"No, I did exactly as the young master told me."

"Where's the injury?"

"This..."

The leopard said awkwardly: "there are several experts in Wuliang Mountain. They hurt several brothers, but they are not serious."

"Master? How did you deal with it? "

"I've brought them all back. My subordinates know that the young master cherishes talents. Those subordinates also feel that they are loyal people..."

"Oh, I'm sorry for you?"

"No No, it's just a pity to kill him. "

The leopard had a dry smile.

Qin Murong waved his hand and said, "OK, it's all up to you. Practice them well, especially adjust their wild mind."

The leopard quickly said, "don't worry, young master. My subordinates are ready to leave only 20 people for 32 people."

Qin Murong said with a wry smile: "it's not the only way to kill people. It's a warning to others. When did you see that I used it? Just as it happens, this is an opportunity to test your military training. Whether you can train these unruly people in the river and lake into soldiers who are forbidden to walk depends on your means. I don't care this time. "

"Here it is

Leopard excited, straight down.

He did not expect that his rare "unauthorized action" was approved by Qin Murong.

Qin Murong looked at the background of leopard's leaving and said, "ah, I'm still a little bit submissive. I'm not as good as Jia Fugui, and I'm worse than Xue Dazui."
