"What kind of treatment do you want?" Wu Nian was a little impatient.

"I want to commit seppuku." Shigetoshi Katagiri raised his head and said firmly.

Wu Nian, Lu Yanxun and the surrounding soldiers didn't know how to react for a moment.

"It's really unreasonable." Wu Nian shook his head and thought to himself. But Shigetoshi Katagiri was a strong man after all, so he had to fulfill his demands before his death.

"What do you need?" Wu Nian asked.

"A mat, a white coat, a man who is proficient in swordsmanship." Shigetoshi Katagiri said.

One of Wu Nian's soldiers had some knowledge of Fuso's seppuku ritual. Seeing Wu Nian's confusion, he clasped his fists and said, "General, seppuku will have to endure great pain, so a beheader is needed to cut off the head of the person who commits seppuku."

pain."

"This is what is called interfering with the wrong person."

"Okay, okay. I'm too lazy to understand these things. All his requests will be met. Find a Fuso person to be the intermediary."

Wu Nian waved his hand and said.

"Yes." The soldier who spoke just now responded and led Shigetoshi Katagiri down.

Katagiri Shigetoshi looked satisfied. As a samurai, defeat is a shame. But he did not run away after defeat. He committed seppuku honorably and took responsibility.

Wu Nian looked up at the sky and said, "Give me the order. Find a place to set up camp. We will set off back to Jiangjie City tomorrow."

"Yes." A soldier responded, turned around and went down.

Under the leadership of the guide, Wu Nianjun arrived at a place with a water source and set up camp. After the Chinese army's tent was set up, Wu Nian asked people to prepare wine and food.

When the food and wine were ready, Wu Nian asked Zhang Zhen and Lu Yanxun to come in and have a meal with him. It was a celebration banquet for Zhang Zhenchu ​​to go into battle and capture the enemy general.

If you need to be reprimanded, you must be reprimanded.

But it should be encouraged, and it must be encouraged.

After dinner, Wu Nian asked Zhang Zhen and Lu Yan to go down. He sent someone to invite Wang Gui, and Zhang Sheng came in to talk for a while.

Then he sent people to find thirty high-status warriors among the Fuso prisoners.

These warriors had their armor removed and their samurai swords taken away. They looked like defeated roosters, dejected and embarrassed.

The Fusang people are different from the Goguryeo people. Many Fusang people can write Chinese characters, but few can speak Chinese. Wu Nian specially found a person who knew Fusang to translate on the spot.

Wu Nian raised his head and glanced at the Fuso warriors. The warriors did not dare to make eye contact with Wu Nian, and all lowered their heads.

"According to your Fuso custom, as a samurai, you are a shameless person if you do not die on the battlefield or commit seppuku after being defeated."

Wu Nian sneered and said.

The translator beside him immediately repeated Wu Nian's words.

Among the thirty Fuso warriors, some had red cheeks and some were calm.

"However, I am not from Fuso. I understand your desire to live, and I will not force you to commit seppuku. Therefore, I will show you a clear path."

Wu Nian said again.

Regardless of whether they were blushing or calm, the thirty Fuso warriors' eyes lit up and they raised their heads happily to look at Wu Nian.

Just like Wu Nian said.

Those who have courage are already dead. Those who can live quietly are all people with a strong desire to survive.

For them, survival is more important than anything else.

It is better to die than live.

"Yes." Wu Nian nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "The war in Liaodong is very tight now. I will return your armor and weapons to you and send you to Liaodong."

"You help me defend the city. When the war is over, if you are still alive, I will pardon you and take you under my wing."

"Of course. Don't try to be lazy. I will set up a supervising team. If anyone is lazy, the supervising team will kill you first without the enemy taking action."

"At this point, you all should understand. I'm going to use you as cannon fodder."

"This is the consequence of defeat."

Wu Nian personally sent the heroes of Liaodong to the battlefield, but it did not mean that he was not heartbroken. During the field battle, if these Fusang prisoners were sent to the front line, they would definitely escape.

But in the battle to defend the city, where can they go?

Keeping Fusang captives is a waste of food.

He didn't know that it took the years of the monkey and the horse to conquer Fusang. He didn't bother to teach them Chinese, so he reused them and sent them to be cannon fodder to defend the city.

It not only reduces the pressure on city defense, but also reduces the casualties of our own soldiers.

Best of both worlds.

The thirty Fuso warriors suddenly became commotion. Their faces all turned pale and they were trembling.

cannon fodder?!!!!

Their expeditionary force has 20,000 people. Several thousand people died just now, and there are still more than 10,000 people left. Once they are used as cannon fodder, not even one out of ten will survive.

Of course, no one objected.

People are knives and servants, and I am fish and meat.

This is the consequence of defeat.

Wu Nian was very satisfied with this and asked his soldiers to take the Fuso warriors down.

"Brothers, I have asked Liu Zhixing to send someone to receive these Fusang prisoners."

"Tieniu, Long Qie, Zhao Yanting and others who pretended to retreat to Fusang will also return one after another. In front of us is the capital of Goguryeo."

Wu Nian smiled and patted his thigh, feeling very happy.

Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng also laughed.

"It's not easy. Goguryeo is definitely in turmoil now. General, should we take advantage of the situation and attack?" Zhang Sheng rolled up his sleeves and rubbed his hands.

"Well. Let's go back to Jiangjie City first, and then immediately send troops to Jingge City. But there is no need to attack violently. Goguryeo will be shaken."

"With the capabilities of Li Jinzhu, Li Yunchong, and Zhao Mancheng, I think it will be difficult to stabilize it again. If people's hearts are fluctuating, some people will definitely surrender to us."

"The price paid for a forceful attack is too high. It's better to wait for them to collapse on their own."

Wu Nian also had a countermeasure and said.

"yes."

Wang Gui, Zhang made it clear, clasping his fists with a happy face.

He had done everything he needed to do, and there was nothing else. Wu Nian had a rest all night.

The next day, after the soldiers had eaten their fill, Wu Nian ordered to leave the camp and return to Jiangjie City along the same route.

I am Wu Nian.

It's back again.

In Jiangjie City, the common people, squires, and wealthy families were all stunned.

morning.

Inside the Cheng family mansion.

Cheng Ruixiang was in a good mood, so he got some peanuts and hid in his room, drinking wine and eating peanuts.

"It's such a wonderful life without Wu Nian." Cheng Ruixiang crossed his legs, very happy.

There was a "touch" and the door was pushed open.

Cheng Ruixiang looked at the door in surprise, and then said angrily: "You traitor, don't you know how to knock on the door?"

The person who came was none other than Cheng Jiuhai.

"Father, something bad has happened. Wu Nian defeated Fuso Zhongnayan and made a name for himself Tong Chongjun. Then he led the troops and returned to Jiangjie Mansion."

"We, Goguryeo, may really be subjugated."

Cheng Jiuhai said with a panic expression.

"What did you say?!!!!" Cheng Ruixiang stood up instantly, dumbfounded.

But he quickly reacted, stamped his right foot and said, "This is a trick. This is all Wu Nian's conspiracy."

"What kind of plague?"

"Why collect silver before leaving?"

"What are the officials who took away the native place of Goguryeo?"

"It's all a deception. Wu Nian is trying to lure the enemy deeper."
