Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 274

in the army,
Killing surrender has always been considered an ominous omen, let alone massacring a city.

Simply appalling.

After the news of the massacre spread, the entire Izumo country fell into a dead silence, surrounded by endless fear.In the eyes of the people in Izumo, the Southwest Corps has suddenly become synonymous with demons, which can stop children from crying.

The major families in Yushui County reacted even more fiercely.

They originally thought that this war would not affect Yushui County, but now they suddenly realized that their wealth and life might be threatened at any time.

How not to be afraid?
The power of fear caused the major families to reach an agreement in the first place, and appealed to the royal court, requesting the royal court to station troops in Yushui County to protect their safety.

The best is the Fifth Division.

It is reported that Yang Juncheng's troops who fled all the way to Yushui City have been surrounded by major families and are not ready to let this troops return to the front line.

The bewildered Yang Juncheng followed suit and stayed.

Faced with the "unreasonable demands" of the local family in Yushui County, King Izumo, who was already half-dead with anger at the defeat of the Fifth Division, unexpectedly agreed.

Not only the remnants of Yang Juncheng, but even the fourth and fifth brigades of the fifth division still stationed in Bolu Mansion will also switch from attacking to defending the mainland.

It is equivalent to taking the Fifth Division out of this battle.

Yang Juncheng himself was not dismissed, so he was unscathed.

Really eye-popping.

of course,

For those who understand the domestic situation in the Izumo Kingdom, King Izumo's behavior is reasonable.

Izumo, which was originally a vast country, lost the largest and most fertile Chaoge County, and then lost the important land of Siyou County.

Of the local powers outside of Wangcheng, only Yushui County is left.

This is naturally a fatal blow to the kingdom, and its strength has been weakened by more than half. At the same time, it has another impact, that is-the status of Yushui County in the kingdom continues to rise.

Up to now, he could faintly compete with the royal court.

This is intriguing.

The existence of Yushui County is not only the last fig leaf of the kingdom, but also one of the cornerstones of the kingdom's existence.Under such circumstances, how could King Izumo dare to offend the native family of Yushui County.

It's too late to appease.

…………

Nanyu County, Nanyu City.

After reading the battle report presented by Xue Rengui, Qian Yuan was speechless for a while.

From a personal point of view, Qian Yuan did not agree with Xu Chu's act of massacring the city. As a modern soul, he instinctively disliked the massacre of civilians by the army.

The army should not be a bunch of butchers, executioners.

Even in the ancient times of the earth, massacring cities has always been regarded as an act of barbarians, a symbol of brutality.

The same is true for Yu Yutian.

It is foreseeable that Xu Chu's act of massacring the city will inevitably greatly affect the image of the Southwest Corps in the eyes of the world, making the enemy fearful and disgusted at the same time.

This is also very different from the character set that Qian Yuan has been trying to shape.

The newly added kill value of nearly 20 points on the system interface is extremely dazzling at this time. It seems that there are countless souls crying, complaining, and struggling behind their backs, with resentment flying all over the sky.

It was bloody, which made Qian Yuan very uncomfortable.

but,

Qian Yuan could neither blame Xue Rengui nor Xu Chu.

As the saying goes: "The general is outside, and the king's life is not acceptable."

The second general Xue Xu's starting point is still good. When the fiefdom is facing the test of life and death, it is understandable to use some extraordinary means.

In view of this, Qianyuan decided to keep silent on the matter, neither commending the achievements of the two generals Xue and Xu, nor making any criticism.

It is equivalent to adopting cold treatment.

But Qianyuan has already decided that after the war, he must make an agreement with the generals in the army, and in the future, unless he encounters extreme circumstances, he will not be allowed to massacre the city.

Even if it is necessary, you must first ask Qian Yuan for instructions, and you are not allowed to make decisions without authorization.

The army is a group of fierce tigers, but they must be restrained. If they are allowed to grow wildly, in the end, they will grow into monsters and ghosts.

Even out of Qianyuan's control.

This is very dangerous.

Having said that, although Xu Chu's battle had a lot of side effects, it also had some positive effects. In addition to further solving the situation in the Siyou County battlefield, this victory also greatly boosted the morale of the battlefields everywhere.

Let the enemy realize that the Southwest Corps really can't afford to mess with it.

The Guard Brigade used bloody facts to tell the world that if they dared to fight against the King of Qin, they had to be prepared to die.

…………

Luoyun Country, Chaoge City.

After the Battle of Yushui County ended, Luo Mengli, the Queen of Luoyun, immediately summoned the envoys of the Izumo Kingdom, and explicitly rejected the intention of forming an alliance, and the reasons given were also very good.

The Izumo Kingdom can't even deal with a Siyou County, and was killed by the Southwest Corps. Why should the Luoyun Kingdom believe that the Izumo Kingdom has the strength to protect the Luoyun Kingdom after the war?
This is simply a false proposition.

The envoy of Izumo Kingdom was about to shed tears of grievance after hearing this.These days, in order to be able to form an alliance, like a pug, he mediated around Chaoge City and lost countless smiling faces.

Just when he was about to see the dawn of victory, reality gave him a slap in the face.

Isn't this playing people?

In fact, the envoy need not be wronged at all.

Because, when he was returning to Izumo with the unsigned letter of credence, he happened to hit the muzzle of a gun, and was ordered by the angry King Izumo to have his head chopped off, and he died~~~~
How sad!

First, the defeat in the frontline battlefield, followed by the forced palace by the local family in Yushui County, and then the failure of the alliance. A series of blows cooled the blood of revenge that King Izumo had before the war to freezing point.

Looking around with his sword, Izumo King sadly found that after this battle, under the attack of the enemy from both front and back, the kingdom alone could no longer take back Siyou County.

The Izumo Army completely lost the dominance of the war on the Siyou County battlefield.

The only hope is to look forward to the alliance's achievements in other battlefields, hoping to use the power of allies to recover Siyou County.It's just that, I'm afraid I don't know what price to pay.

After all, the so-called allies are also cannibals.

…………

Siyou County, Siyou City.

Xu Chu has returned to the station to rest, because the purpose is to kill the enemy and create fear. In this campaign, Xu Chu killed nearly [-] enemies, but did not bring back a single prisoner of war.

There is no need for prisoners of war at all.

Facing Xu Chu who had returned from victory, Xue Rengui's mood was also very complicated, because from the beginning to the end, he never gave the order to massacre the city.

All of this was made by Xu Chu.

Xue Rengui, whose family was in decline and was poor when he was young, has compassion for the weak since he was a child, how could he give orders that go against his character? !

In Xu Chu's eyes, the good fear is naturally blood.

Just ask,

Is there anything that sheds more blood and spreads more fear than massacring a city?
In order to rush back to His Royal Highness to escort him as soon as possible, Xu Chu really worked hard, and he didn't care about the lives of those civilians.During the Three Kingdoms period, were there still few civilians who died? !
Although Xue Rengui did not issue the order, but as the coach, Xue Rengui would have to recite this blame even if he didn't. He was thinking that if he wanted to attack Yushui County in the future, he would not go there even if he was killed.

Be sure to let His Highness change to a general to go out.

Even Xue Rengui has made up his mind that he will never set foot in Yushui County in his life, lest he be hacked to death by the people there, or drowned with saliva.

After this battle, the reputation of the Southwest Corps in Yushui County was worse than shit.

Not only Yushui County, after the news of the city massacre spread, Siyou County, which was already in a good situation, became unstable among the people.

It gave Li Wei a headache.

The soldiers of the Southwest Corps walked on the street, and the local people looked at them strangely.

There was no hysterical swearing, nor was it full of anger. The locals were so cold, and they glanced over blankly, which was simply creepy.

It makes sleeping uneasy.

"General, pack up and set off sometime!" Xue Rengui said.

"The last will obey!"

Xu Chu bowed expressionlessly. As the chief culprit of massacring the city, the personal guard brigade who returned to Siyou City was naturally under the greatest pressure.

Can't wait to leave early.

In addition to the personal guard brigade, Xue Rengui also planned to transfer the fifth brigade of the garrison division, leaving only one battalion responsible for maintaining the food road.

In this way, more than [-] troops can be drawn from the Siyou County battlefield to go north.

This is already quite a boost.

On the contrary, Xu Chu was a little worried, "Marshal, if you transfer two brigades at once, there will be no problems in Siyou County, right?"

"fine."

Xue Rengui was very confident, and said with a smile: "It's all thanks to the general's supernatural power. After this battle, the Izumo army's courage has been frightened, and it is no longer a worry to turn into a group of soft-legged shrimps."

"That's good."

Xu Chu nodded embarrassedly.

…………

The fourth day of June.

The Guards Brigade led by Xu Chu, together with the four battalions of the Fifth Brigade of the Security Division, packed their bags and embarked on a journey northward.They must take the lead in entering Nanyu City before the enemy army surrounds Nanyu City.

The trajectory of the Southwest Melee has thus reached a new turning point.
Although the allied forces suffered a big loss in the battlefield of Siyou County, in the battlefield of Nanyu County, the army of the king of Chu was still invincible, winning consecutive battles.

There is an overwhelming momentum.

On the day when Xu Chu slaughtered the city, the First Division of the Chu King Army led by Xiong Daoyuan had successfully conquered Tianyu City in the north of Nanyu County, and the troops headed straight to Yufu.

On the other side, the Seventh Division of the King Chu Army also stumbled and took down the Lingqiu Mansion in the east.

The five prefectures of Nanyu County have lost two of them, and the situation is very critical.
