A total of three people escaped, but only one was brought back.

"The other two ran into the miasma forest. Without someone familiar with the road to guide them, they would quickly get lost in it."

Liu Yunxiang asked Feng Zheng to ask about the situation, so Lieutenant General Li came over to explain.

"Where's that guy?"

"in front of."

Liu Yunxiang took Yan Mu and the others over and saw that the soldier was a young man, estimated to be less than twenty, and was tied to a pillar in front of the military camp. He looked into the distance with confusion in his eyes.

"Why did you run away?" Liu Yunxiang walked over and asked.

The young soldier came back to his senses. He looked at Liu Yunxiang, his eyes flashing, "You are... you are the Crown Princess. I heard that the Crown Princess has a Bodhisattva heart. Please let them let me go and let me go home!"

"

"The army has military discipline. If everyone escapes like you, will there be anyone left during the war? Who will protect the people?" Liu Yunxiang shouted coldly.

"Protect the people?" the soldier yelled, "After the Southern Jin Dynasty occupied Ling'an, they massacred the city in one day. Countless people were killed and the corpses were piled up in mountains, but we could only watch. We also had the fighting spirit, but we could fight.

People from the Southern Jin Dynasty can't beat them, there's no chance at all!"

"In this case, it would be best if the Bian Nan military camp is dispersed and everyone goes back to their homes. Even if they become slaves of the subjugated country in the future, as long as their knees are weak enough, they may be able to live like dogs."

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang was shocked. They were soldiers. They were afraid of the Southern Jin people. They were afraid from the bottom of their hearts and despaired from the bottom of their hearts.

"When I left home, my wife was just pregnant. Now two years have passed and I haven't seen my child yet. I want to go home. I just want to go home. I don't think I am a deserter. If I were,

Which one is not Bian Nan Military Camp? It was the general. During that battle, didn’t he also escape with us, abandoning the people in the city, abandoning the soldiers who were fighting the enemy in a fierce battle, and fled in a hurry..."

The soldier kept talking, his voice getting lower and lower, as if he was not talking to Liu Yunxiang, but to himself.

His words became more and more sad, and some of the soldiers nearby lowered their heads as if they were deeply touched. Seeing this, Lieutenant General Li quickly used a piece of cloth to choke the young soldier's mouth, so that he could not speak.

"Princess, you have been tired from the journey, please go to the tent to rest first." Vice General Li said.

Liu Yunxiang glanced at the soldier again and sighed heavily, "How will you deal with him according to the military discipline of your Biannan Army Camp?"

"One hundred military staffs."

"One hundred?" Liu Yunxiang frowned. She knew that the execution sticks in the army were spiked. Let alone one hundred sticks, fifty sticks could kill someone. "He..."

Liu Yunxiang subconsciously wanted to plead for the soldier, but she also thought that the punishment was meant to intimidate her. If it was reduced due to her plea, if she refused to accept the punishment and refused to speak out, and everyone followed suit, it would only lead to greater trouble.

Liu Yunxiang stopped talking, turned around and walked inside.

"Vice General Li, how many soldiers died in the battle between you and the Southern Jin Dynasty?"

"Thirty thousand."

"Three, thirty thousand?"

"yes."

"How many soldiers were there in the Bian Nan Army Camp?"

"fifty thousand."

Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but cover his mouth, so the battle was lost by more than half.

"The Southern Jin Dynasty did lead an army of 30,000 to fight against us. They broke through the city in less than five days. We were almost massacred by them. If they had not run in a hurry, the remaining 20,000 soldiers would have died."

"Are they so brave?"

"Firstly, the soldiers of the Southern Jin Dynasty were brave and warlike, and their methods were ruthless. Secondly, they had a kind of chariot with sharp blades all around. Their men hid in it, and they could also fire dozens of rockets at the same time. The fire was particularly special.

It is so fierce that as long as there are scattered sparks splashed on the body, it will immediately catch fire. Many of our soldiers were cut to death and burned to death in this way. I am not afraid to tell you, in that battle, we were like the prey of the Southern Jin people.

, those who were crushed and killed by them and survived in the end were just because they ran fast."

Vice General Li smiled bitterly as he spoke. After he finished speaking, he remembered Liu Yunxiang who was standing after the battle, and immediately shuddered.

Liu Yunxiang looked back at Yan Mu, saw his serious face, and reached out to hold his hand.

"So after that battle, you hid here?"

Lieutenant General Lu paused for a moment before saying: "After that battle, many of our soldiers were frightened. Some of them had nightmares at night, and even... some even went crazy. Later, when we came to this canyon, it was better

Some."

These soldiers had experienced so many wars and had so much blood on their hands. Their minds must be strong enough to be frightened like this. Even if Lieutenant General Li told about the scene at that time, it would be difficult for her to imagine it.

Lieutenant General Li led them to an empty tent, invited them to go in and rest, and then went to deal with the deserters.

Liu Yunxiang and the others went in and sat down, without speaking for a long time.

"If the peace talks fail this time and a war is about to break out, then these soldiers..." Liu Yunxiang said and looked at Yan Mu, "I'm afraid they may not be able to count on them."

It is estimated that before they even went to the battlefield, they were frightened at the mention of the Southern Jin army.

But the peace talks will definitely fail, and there will inevitably be another war. Fifty thousand versus thirty thousand, with an absolute numerical advantage, they were actually massacred unilaterally. This...

"The Southern Jin Dynasty peace talks invited us, Da Rong, Northern Jin and Xiyue. The reason why we invited the other two countries was to frighten them and prevent them from forming an alliance with us." Yan Mu said.

Since arriving here, what they saw and heard was difficult to digest for a while, and the four of them fell silent again.

It was not until dark and after dinner that Su Hui woke up.

He hurriedly came to the tent to apologize, "I am drunk and unruly. Please punish me by the Crown Princess."

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath and then let Su Hui in.

Su Hui came over in a hurry. His hair was still messy, he was not wearing any armor, and he smelled of alcohol. He rushed in and knelt down at the door, "Please punish me, Princess!"

Liu Yunxiang glanced at Yan Mu first, and then asked: "General Su, are everyone in your Bian Nan military camp free to drink?"

"In times of war, I will never drink a drop of wine, and I will deny the thirty-thirty stick."

"Is there any difference up and down?"

"No difference."

After asking this question, Liu Yunxiang was speechless.

Su Hui kowtowed and said: "General, I will go and receive my punishment right now!"

"Don't worry, I have a few more questions to ask you."

"Princess, may I ask?"

"General Su, do you think our peace talks with the Southern Jin Dynasty can be successful this time?"

"this……"

"You might as well just say it."

"able."

"oh?"

"They have no intention of destroying Dayong. They only want the thirteen cities in Lingnan."

"So as long as we are willing to cede thirteen cities, they will conclude a peace treaty with us?"

"yes."

"Who told you?"

Su Hui was silent for a moment and said: "Their envoy."

"So you met with their envoys privately and secretly escorted them to the capital to have secret talks with the emperor, right?"

"yes."
