After listening to Cheng Yu's report, Liu Xin's originally pale face turned pale. He struggled to sit upright. He raised his uninjured right hand several times but then put it down again. It was difficult to make a decision in his heart.
What Cheng Yu reported was the killing and surrender of the Fifth Army Corps. Prohibition of killing and surrender and preferential treatment of prisoners was an iron rule that Liu Xin issued to all Jingzhou Army officers and soldiers. Unexpectedly, the Fifth Army Corps led by Huang Zhong dared to test the law!
The consequences of surrendering on the battlefield are very serious. If word spreads, the enemy will definitely fight to the death on the battlefield in the future, because surrender is also a dead end. It is better to fight, and maybe there is a chance to survive. Once the enemy With this idea, all future battles of the Jingzhou Army will become very difficult.
Not only that, prisoners of war are also a very important resource in Jingzhou, and Jingzhou’s engineering team lacks such young and strong labor. Past experience shows that during the two-year labor reform of these prisoners, there has never been any resistance. Even ** things. And after two years, even if these prisoners become free men again, at least half of them will be willing to stay in the engineering team. The experience of the past five years has well proved this.
More importantly, in Liu Xin's eyes, no matter which princes these troops and soldiers belong to, they are all subjects of the Han Dynasty. On the battlefield, both sides are their own masters. It is helpless to fight to the death. But , now that the enemy has surrendered, it is absolutely unforgivable for our brothers and sisters to continue killing each other!
However, Huang Zhong was one of the best generals under Liu Xin. Although Wei Yan was young, he was also very brave. Liu Xin was really reluctant to push the two of them out and behead them. He couldn't help but be in a dilemma. He hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't do it. With this determination, he could only frown and said: "Zhongde, this matter is not trivial. It must be kept strictly confidential and must not be publicized to the outside world. Do not tell others that I already know about this matter. I will try to deal with it. In addition, pass on my order. The First Army Corps is stationed in Chengdu, the Second Army Corps, and the Fifth Army Corps have withdrawn to Xiangyang to rest and recuperate. We will discuss other matters after I recover."
Liu Xin closed her eyes and lay down again. When Cheng Yu saw this, he bowed and left. The room gradually became quiet, and Liu Xin's thoughts gradually became clearer. It was really shocking that something like this happened. Well, if this incident really happened under the instruction of Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, then these two people must not stay! Although it seems a pity on the surface, those who made mistakes should be punished. Moreover, it can also prevent the civil and military subordinates from becoming arrogant and arrogant in the future.
After figuring this out, Liu Xin relaxed. A wave of tiredness came over him, and he slowly fell asleep again. Liu Xin slept for a long time and slept very soundly. When he woke up again It was already dusk when he arrived. He opened his eyes and felt energetic, but a little hungry.
Liu Xin turned her head and saw Ma Yun. Ma Yun was sitting on a chair, holding her cheek in one hand, her two thin eyebrows were still knitted together, and there were two tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, and she had fallen asleep. Liu Xin He was moved in his heart. Apparently because she was worried about her injuries, she did not obey and go back to her room to rest, but stayed here all the time. He couldn't help but reach out to touch her hair, but it stopped in mid-air. He really couldn't bear to wake her up. Ma Yun, but her stomach made two unsatisfactory "gurgling" sounds.
Ma Yun was indeed very worried. She visited Cai Jue and came back again. She saw that Liu Xin had fallen asleep, so she stayed by his bedside. Ma Yun knew that Liu Xin was very energetic and could only sleep three times a day at most.
Even if he sometimes struggled until midnight, he would only squint for a short while before he became energetic again. But yesterday he was in a coma all night, and now he just sat down for a while and fell asleep again. What do you want her to do?
She felt relieved. However, Ma Yun didn't sleep all night yesterday, and she didn't have as much energy as Liu Xin. She fell asleep not long after sitting. However, after all, she didn't sleep well in this position. She fell asleep several times in the middle of the night.
I woke up and looked at Liu Xin who was sleeping soundly. After a while, I dozed off again.
Since this morning, Ma Yun has been sitting by the bed, always lingering between half asleep and half awake, and has not eaten anything. In her sleep, Ma Yun vaguely heard Liu Xin's stomach growling, and she couldn't help but stick out her tongue.
He pursed his lips and struggled to open his eyes, only to see Liu Xin looking at him with a smile on his face. He suddenly lost all sleepiness and shouted in surprise: "Husband, you are finally awake!"
Liu Xin smiled and said: "I still want to sleep, but my stomach is a little unsatisfactory. Wife, you haven't eaten yet? Do you want me to cook and prepare two side dishes?"
When Ma Yun heard what he said, she remembered that she hadn't eaten lunch either, and she felt a little hungry. However, there was no way she could let him do it himself. She scolded him repeatedly: "Just have a good rest. If you want to show off your skills, wait until you are healthy."
Once everything has recovered, the food has been prepared and I will ask them to bring it in."
Liu Xin waved her injured left arm and said, "Look, it's okay. I'm strong enough to kill a cow now."
Ma Yun looked at the bright look on Liu Xin's face and knew that there was really no big problem with his health. So she ordered the maids to bring the food and said with a straight face: "Husband, tell the truth, why did you let him go?"
Sun Ce and the others?"
Liu Xin was lowering her head and putting on her clothes. She didn't notice the change in Ma Yun's expression and responded casually: "If you don't let them go, are you leaving them to waste food?"
Ma Yun said angrily: "Humph! They have all set their sights on my son, and Sun Ce also wants to kill you. It's too cheap to just let them go. Could it be that you have fallen in love with Sun Jian's two wives?"
"
Liu Xin put on her clothes and got out of bed. Then she noticed that Ma Yun's expression was wrong and said hurriedly: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not Cao Cao. Do I have this hobby? Besides, Han Dang's problem must be his alone."
People make their own decisions, otherwise if another person comes to help, Yu'er will definitely not be able to escape. I am doing this with a lot of strength. Zhuge Liang can deal with Meng Huo seven times and seven times. Am I not as good as Zhuge Liang?
Are you not going to give Sun Ce a chance?"
When Ma Yun heard this, she became even more furious: "If you give him a chance, will he give you a chance? If Yu'er is really caught by him, what will you do? And that dead ghost Han Dang, looking at his posture, he seems to want to
If you want to kidnap me, what will you do then?"
Liu Xin coaxed continuously: "Okay, okay, I have let you go, and there is no regret in this world. If Han Dang had really caught Yu'er or caught you, there would have been nothing he could do, not to mention borrowing a few soldiers."
Give it to him. Even if I give him the position of state pastor, I have no choice but to do it. I love the country and my family even more, and I don’t want any harm to you."
Little did Ma Yun know that Liu Xin told Sun Ce and the others a different story. After hearing his confession, her heart suddenly became sweeter than eating honey. Her anger disappeared immediately, and she said coquettishly: "Don't say stupid things."
"If you don't serve as a state pastor, how can you protect the three of us?"
By chance, the maids also brought the food, and the two of them were eating and chatting in the room. While eating, Ma Yun suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I accidentally changed the subject by you just now.
You even snatched back someone's child bride, and you refused to let go of an old lady. I think your taste is not as good as Cao Cao's."
Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, but she quickly realized and couldn't help laughing: "That's none of my business. It's all this guy Cheng Yu who is doing this. I'm content with just you guys. How dare you go to Longwang Shu?"
Ma Yun suddenly sighed and said, "Don't say this too harshly. Cai Jue saved Yu'er this time and was seriously injured for it. You also know that she stayed at home for so many days.
What. I have promised her that you will give her an explanation. I see that you are very lively now, so it’s time to go and see her. She is still lying on the bed unable to move. She has never eaten this kind of food in her whole life.
Sorry, it’s really hard for her this time.”
Liu Xin couldn't help but frowned. He used to say that his wife had a bunch of children, but now he has a wife and a bunch of children. To be honest, it has been Liu Xin's eighth year since he came to this new world, and his thoughts have also been affected by this.
Due to the subtle influence of the times, he did not think there was anything wrong with polygamy. He even envied the emperor for being able to have three thousand beauties in the harem alone. However, Liu Xin had to worry about Ma Yun's feelings. After all, Ma Yun and he traveled through time together.
Yes, she is a person from modern times. It is not easy for her to agree to marry Bian Yu and the others, but also tolerate her hooking up with a few maids. She should never go too far.
Ma Yun seemed to know what Liu Xin was thinking, and said quietly: "Don't worry, as I see it, you will accept her. However, I have to say ugly things first, we have made an agreement, and Cai Jue saved her."
Yu'er, you can't treat her like a maid, but she has to occupy a quota of 'concubine'. Your current quota is one less, so you have to think carefully about the women you snatched back.
Are they concubines or maids?"
Liu Xin couldn't help but dumbfounded. There was no reason to be jealous of this woman. Apart from being somewhat interested in the fact that Wu Ran had been Liu Bei's queen in history, she really had no feelings for the other two women at all. However,
, having said that, it was really a big mistake when he agreed to her three-part contract. This rule is simply more inhumane than the marriage law! Of course, Liu Xin only dared to think wildly in her heart, but she did not dare to say it in front of her wife.
Cai Jue was lying quietly on the bed. She couldn't go anywhere now. She had to rely on the maids to even eat, drink and have sex. Liu Yu was sitting aside. He ran away in a hurry that day and didn't see the person dragging the masked man.
Who didn't know until later that it was Aunt Cai Jue who saved him, so the first thing he did after school every day was to visit Aunt Jue.
Suddenly the voices of the maids came from outside the door: "I have seen the master and his wife."
Cai Jue's heart couldn't help but tighten. How could his face be seen by Liu Xin now? He hurriedly said: "Yu'er, quickly take the quilt and cover my aunt's head."
