"Even if the generals have this intention, they may not be willing to do it, right?"
"Especially Bai Qingcang."
"He has long regarded the general as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh!"
"Presumably everyone here knows this!"
Tong Zijian spoke slowly and directly stated the pros and cons!
And everyone present nodded along with it!
Erhu was even a little surprised. He originally thought that Tong Zijian would definitely stand on Wang Yuan's side unconditionally, but now it seems that he is judging a gentleman with a villain's heart...
"Of course I know it's more difficult to do that."
"But we have already won several battles, and I believe Bai Qingcang has also seen our combat effectiveness."
"In addition, Han Tao has just taken office and has already suffered a defeat!"
"Although we divide our forces and refuse to defend now, this is not a long-term solution. But I know Han Tao very well. He advocates a steady and steady attack. Although he wants to fight us decisively, he still needs to make all preparations!"
"In this way, each other will have time to breathe."
"If things go on like this, we can continue to breathe in the cracks. When the decisive battle comes, even if we lose to the Great Northern Dynasty, we will be able to shatter a few of their teeth!"
It's not that Wang Yuan has no confidence in his team.
But along the way, he saw a lot of homeless people.
Even outside Lingzhou City, there are refugees everywhere!
This is indeed the most distressing point for Wang Yuan!
"Brother Yuan!"
"You'd better think about it carefully!"
"But no matter what decision you make, our brothers will stand by you!"
"I have been with you for so long, and there has never been any problem with your decision-making. This is enough to prove your ability!"
"And we are all rough people, so naturally we don't think about things so comprehensively!"
"In short, wherever the general points, we will attack!"
Dahu also expressed his stance.
Now that the generals had different opinions, Wang Yuan naturally did not force them. He just wanted to be alone and quiet now.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Yuan had already left the camp and was heading outside the pass.
Although there is peace in Jubei Pass, it is only because of his protection.
Moreover, all this is just the surface.
After two wars, even the fortified city of Jubeiguan, the aboriginal people here have no idea how far they have left, and the whole city is like an empty city.
Of course this is understandable.
Even those who stay here must be worried.
After all, this is a battleground for military strategists.
Sooner or later there will be a battle!
And who wants to live in this state of fear and anxiety?
After walking out of Jubeiguan, Wang Yuan wandered on the roadside. He had already dispersed around and just wanted to have some quiet time by himself.
He has a flintlock gun in his hand, just like the masters from Shanwaishan and Tianwaitian in the past can't do anything to him, so he naturally doesn't need to have any worries.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, as the sky gradually darkened, Wang Yuan slowly raised his head and regained consciousness.
He had been thinking about the next strategy just now, and he had already forgotten how far he had walked.
Looking around, there is a small village not far away.
Although there are not many houses built inside, there is smoke from the cooking pots, so there must be people living there.
Wang Yuan also walked towards the village.
As soon as I entered the village, I heard a quarrel coming from my ears.
"I
Even if I starve to death, I can't sell my son!"
"I'm just such a child!"
A woman kept crying.
There were a lot of noisy sounds among them.
"You think we want to do this?"
"But there is really no other way now!" .??.
"We have eaten all the bark off the trees on the mountain!"
"Although the pots in the house are still burning, it is just to keep the house warm, but there is not a grain of rice in the house!"
"Exchanging each other's children is our final bottom line!"
"If we all starve to death, won't the children also starve to death?"
"It's better for us to live well, after all, we still have to go on!"
After hearing this voice, Wang Yuan quickened his pace and soon entered the village.
Looking around, I saw a lot of people standing in the village square, most of them holding a baby in their arms, and the babies were crying constantly, and there were women's howls all around them.
Seeing many people exchanging children, Wang Yuan felt like his heart was twisting in a knife.
This is to…
Eat by exchanging children!
Although some people were reluctant and had faces full of pain, and some even fainted, most people chose to survive in this way.
"Everyone, what is this?"
Wang Yuan quickly stepped forward and stopped everyone at the same time!
A stranger suddenly came to the village, and everyone's eyes focused on Wang Yuan!
"who are you?"
A middle-aged man walked out of the crowd, his sharp eyes like an eagle fell on Wang Yuan, and then he spoke coldly.
And all the surrounding villagers also showed their faces
alert.
"Looking at the way you are dressed, you must not be a refugee, right?"
The eyes of several men in the crowd lit up.
Here comes a rich master!
Wang Yuan also noticed their gazes. At the same time, he reached into his arms and already touched the flintlock gun!
Defenses can not do without!
What's more, these people are all refugees left by the war. They naturally don't have enough to eat on weekdays, and even more so now!
So, anything can be done!
"I'm just a tourist passing through."
"I saw you all gathered here, so I came over to join in the fun."
"But I think you seem to be exchanging something!"
"Are we exchanging each other's children?"
Wang Yuan frowned and spoke, his voice becoming colder and harsher.
"You guys have hands and feet, but where can you go without getting a bite to eat?"
"Although it is an autumn of war, as long as you work hard, at least you will not starve to death!"
"You are just ready to hand over your own children to others to eat. Don't you feel pain?"
Everyone present looked at each other, and instead of showing any guilt on their faces, they became even more angry.
The middle-aged man who had just spoken to Wang Yuan quickly walked up to Wang Yuan, and at the same time clenched his fists tightly, and the anger in his heart was rising.
"Stop talking nonsense to us here!"
"Do you think we don't understand these great principles?"
"We have eaten all the bark off the trees on the mountain!"
"Within a radius of fifty miles, there is nothing edible left, and the woods are all empty!"
“What will our children eat if we don’t eat them?”
