Chapter 83 Fundamental differences
Cracks appear
When Bu Zhanni was held by Lu Shi's sword on his neck, the indifferent expression on his face did not waver at all. He just glanced at Lu Shi lightly, and then continued to observe the battlefield.
Regarding Lu Shi's actions, Wu Zhanni was quite surprised. At that time, he was so angry that he wanted to order the killing of anyone who dared to offend him on the spot, but his mind was spinning.
Lu Shishen was trusted by Tianxing. If this hurt him, and with Tianxing's temperament, he would be able to bring people to take revenge at that time. If the alliance's poles were unclear, it could be a chaotic war, and the alliance would disappear.
, there is no end, not to mention, now that Guo Tianxing controls the food and grass support for his tens of thousands of troops, if he really wants to fall out and cut off his own food and grass supply, then he will be in a dilemma. Everything is needed, and at the same time,
I firmly believe that it is impossible for Lu Shi to really do it. His heart will not allow him to do it at all. And once I do it to him, everyone will think that I have no ambition.
As a person, with such a character of asking for orders for the people, he should and indeed has the qualification to be respected. However, this is a battlefield. This is a battlefield of cold-blooded elimination of the weak and the strong. Your compassion cannot be tolerated. Lu Shi's actions are unacceptable.
Zhan Ni quietly breathed a sigh of relief, letting himself completely let go of his guard. If Lu Shi's wisdom and strength were combined with the strength of Tianxing's men, then where would there be a place for people like him in this world?
When Lu Shi put the sword on the neck of the great alliance leader Bu Zhanni like a madman, everyone in front and behind was shocked.
The non-stick soldiers were the first to react. They shouted, drew their swords and guns and rushed up, hoping to rescue the family leader.
Chunlan, who was following Lu Shi inseparably, saw Lu Shi suddenly pull out a long sword and put it on Bu Zhanni's neck, and even saw Bu Zhanni's soldiers rush towards Lu Shi risklessly in order to save his family head, but originally
Lu Shi's bodyguard Zhu Tie and others, who were never far away, were all under the house. The water far away could not quench their thirst. At that time, without thinking much, he suddenly pulled out the long sword from his waist, shouted softly, and rushed forward with a lunge.
The ping-pong man was fighting with the poles that came over. The non-stick soldiers knew that these two people had extraordinary identities, and because their master was in their hands, they didn't dare to fight to the death.
Otherwise, even ten Chunlan would have died on the spot.
In an instant, Lu Shi and Chunlan were surrounded by dozens of swords and guns. The servants kept shouting: "Put down the sword, put down the sword, or I will kill you."
Zhu Tie, the bodyguard of Lu Shi who lived under the house, also saw changes in the house. When he saw that his master was in danger, he was so angry that he shouted: "Don't hurt my husband." He waved the big hammer in his hand and stepped on the ladder.
During the rescue, the non-stick soldiers in the yard also reacted, immediately drew out their swords and guns, and shouted to stop Zhu Tie from climbing up to the house. However, Zhu Tieli's sledgehammer sank. Although he did not want to take anyone's life, it was smashed away in a few blows.
He grabbed the weapons of the non-stick soldiers guarding the ladder, then used his huge body to knock away everyone, and flew to the upper room. The dead souls of those non-stick soldiers came out, screaming and rushing towards the ladder. Zhu Tie and others
When the brothers saw this, they also shouted, brandishing swords and guns, and rushed forward, desperately protecting the ladder, and started fighting with those close associates who were not involved in the mud, buying time for Zhu Tie to rescue Lu Shi.
A group of people, seeing a bloodshed inside, was about to be bloody. At the critical moment, they heard a deep voice from the house shouting in time: "Put away the swords and guns, and stand down."
The voice was not loud, but it was certainly powerful. Hearing this, the close confidants who were not touched by the mud stopped moving forward immediately. However, no one put away their swords and guns. They just used swords and guns to force Lu Shi and his brothers in the house.
But Zhu Tie ignored it and used his shoulder to knock away the poles blocking the road. He ran behind Lu Shi with a few strides and blocked Lu Shi with his tall body. He held a big hammer in his hand and nervously guarded the poles.
Bu Zhanni quietly looked at Lu Shi, whose eyes were blood red and his face was full of tears, and he shook his head in disappointment.
"Order, withdraw troops." Lu Shi tightened the sword in his hand and spoke his request again through his teeth.
Bu Zhanmu just looked at Lu Shi with an indifferent expression. For a while, he shook his head gently and calmly pushed away Lu Shi's sword with his hand. Then he sighed and said in a loud voice: "Ming Jin, withdraw your troops."
A soldier received the order and ran to the house as if he had been granted amnesty and shouted loudly: "The leader of the alliance has an order, withdraw the troops——"
The war drums under the house suddenly fell silent, and then there was a pleasant sound of gongs. Cavalrymen with poles galloped back and forth, shouting on their horses: "Retract the troops - withdraw the troops -"
The old and weak people who were rushing around like moths turned around and ran away as if they had heard the edict of forgiveness from the King of Hell. However, the signers on the city wall still chased the retreating old and weak people with rows of feather arrows and shot them down.
Groups of old and weak fell in the massacre that was about to end, becoming the ghosts of injustice that linger in this world.
There were also injured people struggling in a pool of blood who were still alive. They stretched out their arms helplessly, hoping that their companions would stop and take them back with them, but no one paid attention to them, so they could only look at the dirty feet like that.
Those people who ran past him slowly shed their last drop of blood amidst the sound of wailing.
The battlefield is so cruel, but also so helpless?
With a clang, the sword in Lu Shi's hand fell to the ground. Lu Shi did not look at it, but staggered towards the parapet of the roof. With a pair of tearful eyes, he looked at the corpses and struggling wounded on the far battlefield with heart-wrenching eyes.
Repeating meaninglessly: "Why, why, it couldn't have been like this, it was okay."
At this time, a hand was placed on Lu Shi's shoulder. The hand was so soft and warm. Lu Shi did not look back. He knew that it was Chunlan's hand.
Another hand was placed on his shoulder, so cold, and there was a deep chill in the palm of his hand.
Lu Shi turned around and saw Bu Zhanni's face that was indifferent but with a trace of pity. Yes, it was a face that was mixed with indifference and a trace of pity.
The indifference was the result of his orders and foreknowledge. The pity was not for the dead and wounded Pao Ze on the battlefield and the shocking wails. This compassion was shown for Lu Shi.
Lu Shi didn't question him, just looked at the face that he should have been familiar with and admired carefully, but now it had become unfamiliar.
"Put away your Bodhisattva heart." After a while, Bu Zhanmi said quietly but extremely firmly.
"Why don't you follow the siege method we discussed?"
"Although your method is good, it is not advisable for us.
"Why"
"Because your method does not conform to the rules and regulations of our existence."
"you?"
"Yes, it's not me, it's us. You can go and ask the leaders who came back now if they have any resentment towards my method?"
Lu Shi turned his head and looked at the dozens of war horses running towards the room. The war horses were all leaders of the alliance.
The leaders circled their horses under the house, then spun them around in circles, all facing the mud on the roof, and asked loudly: "Leader, the attack was going well, why did it stop suddenly?"
"Yes, as long as we plant for half a quarter of an hour, we can basically consume the rolling logs and stones of the army. It only takes half a quarter of an hour to fill up the trench. Now it's better, and it gives the army an opportunity to collect goods."
Well, this time it was all in vain." Another leader said, his expression even more regretful.
"Leader, if you don't withdraw your troops and hold on for a while longer, the young men can go up. Maybe we can enjoy the blessings in the city at sunset. How do you command this?" A man with a face full of accusations and unwillingness.
"Did you see it? Although your method is good, my method is more popular with the brothers." He pointed at the various people in the room and said calmly.
Looking at Lu Shi with a gloomy expression, Bu Zhanni sighed again: "I understand your thoughts. You have read the books of the sages. The sages will not understand and cannot let you do this. They teach you scribes
It’s all a battle between the public and the public, not to mention a monk like you?”
Lu Shi was silent.
Bu Zhanni suddenly shouted loudly: "But none of the saints lived in the Ming Dynasty, nor in Shaanxi during the Ming Dynasty, nor in the troubled times of the Ming Dynasty. Their benevolence and forgiveness were written while sitting in rich clothes and fine food.
Yes, how do they really know how difficult this world is and how difficult it is to survive?
To survive, only some people can survive, but not all people, so some people need to die to give those who can survive a chance to live."
"But, they can avoid death at all." Lu Shi turned his head and firmly denied the idea of not sticking to the mud.
"If they don't die, how can we feed them?" Bu Zhanni stared at Lu Shi with his eyes.
Lu Shi pointed to Mizhi County in the distance and said in a deep voice: "There, there are at least hundreds of thousands of stones of grain there."
"Hundreds of thousands, very good, a lot, but if you include the people in our village, how long will it last? Also, if you capture the county seat, the refugees in the surrounding counties will take notice. By then, the number will be hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands.
How do you feed one hundred thousand refugees with their families?
Just those hundreds of thousands? Can you say that you can completely satisfy them and let them survive this winter? After surviving this winter, can you guarantee that they will survive the bleak spring?"
Lu Shi opened his mouth but really had nothing to say, but was this the reason? Is it the reason to drive those old, weak, women and children to die?
"Those old and weak people came to you to seek your protection, hoping that you could give them even a small chance of survival, that's all. But I didn't expect that you would directly push them into the abyss and despair. Is this what you call
"What's the truth?" Bu Zhanni interrupted Lu Shi decisively, "Don't accuse me of being cruel. What you should blame is the world. What you should blame is the superior thief God. Am I the only one who let those women and children die?
?No, absolutely not, it’s that thief God, it’s this world that kills people.” Bu Zhanni also began to get excited, turned around and pointed at the men and horses still under the room who were either regretting, looking around, or waiting for the next order: “
Go and ask them, ask these leaders, do they agree with my approach? Go and ask them, the old, weak, women and children who have retreated, do they agree with my approach?"
Lu Shi knew the answer by looking at everyone's expressions without having to ask. Everyone, including those women and children who were lucky enough to come back alive, felt frustrated because they did not attack the city in one go.
"But, have you asked those who died? Have you asked those who fell on the battlefield and wailed? Do they also have the same thoughts as these hateful survivors?" Lu Shi shouted loudly.
, pointing with trembling fingers at the corpses lying in the distance, as well as the wounded who were still writhing and writhing with arrows all over their bodies.
Everyone was speechless for a moment, and the entire formation suddenly became deathly quiet.
Yes, in order to survive, you can drive your companions to die, and those who are not dead are complacent, but has anyone ever asked the dead about their feelings? Has anyone ever thought about the reality that the next one might be themselves?
Bu Zhidui opened his mouth to refute, but he just opened his mouth and couldn't think of a reason to refute. After a long time, Na Na said without confidence: "Do you have any other ideas? Is it possible for a Bodhisattva to save these people with his heart?"
?"
Lu Shi shook his head, looked at it without touching the mud, and secretly let out a sigh of relief.
"However, I can do my best to take them and live and die with them." Lu Shiyin said firmly, then took a deep breath, straightened his body, and held back his hands without any mud, nor did he
