Chapter 542

"Your Majesty, even if you want to cure the habit of broken sleeves, it will not be cured in a day or two. I came today to ask you, have you ever heard of a general named Zhou Xinmian?" Shangguan Chuuxue looked Expect authentic.

"Zhou Xinmian?" Tuoba Lin's expression changed, and he stared and said, "Who is he to you? What do you want him for?"

"Don't ask me why I'm looking for him, tell me first, does he know him? Where is he now?" Seeing that Tuoba Lin's face had completely changed, Shangguan Chuuxue felt uneasy in his heart, and couldn't wait to say goodbye. asked.

"Dead!" Sure enough, Shangguan Chuuxue's premonition was accurate, Tuoba Lin sighed softly, and finally spit out these two words.

"Dead, dead, why, how come?" Shangguan Chuuxue's expression also changed as he murmured.

How could she confess to a pregnant woman with such news?
"Why not? On the battlefield, life is like nothing. It's too common to die alone!" Tuoba Lin spoke eloquently, then suddenly changed the subject and sighed softly, with endless desolation in his voice , "However, Zhou Xinmian's death is still unusual."

"How did he die?" Hearing this, Shangguan Chuuxue was stunned and asked while biting his red lips.

"On that day, our army was surrounded by Yu Wenyan's army, and the whole army was almost wiped out. Zhou Xinmian ignored his own life and forced a bloody path for his comrades. When I found Zhou Xinmian, his body , with more than 100 feather arrows stuck in all directions, he was already dead. At that time, the environment was harsh, and everyone would die if he was not careful. Naturally, he didn't dare to bury the body at that time, so he could only watch his body being buried by thousands of people. Trampled by tens of thousands of troops, the so-called horse leather shroud is just a beautiful fantasy." Thinking of the tragedy at that time, Tuoba Lin's eyes turned red, and the soldiers standing beside him couldn't help but shed tears.

Not being able to bring General Zhou's body back has always been a deadlock in the hearts of the soldiers of the entire army. Now that the past is brought up again, even the tough man can't help but blush.

Although he did not personally experience the battle, Shangguan Chuuxue seemed to see: in the billowing smoke, a general with more than 100 feathered arrows in his body was covered in blood in the howling cold wind, looking sadly at the distant land. Homeland, he wants to go home!Beside him were the passing figures of his companions, but no one was able to bring him home, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't!

How much he longed to go back to his hometown, to see if his beloved girl was looking forward to his return day after day, whether she would be devastated by the news of his death, and whether the flower of life would wither.

He is an orphan, that girl is everything in his life, his only concern in this life, he promised her to go home, but he is going to break his promise, he didn't even have time to say sorry, that's it, heaven and man After forever, we will never see each other again in this life.

"Your Majesty, the dead cannot be brought back to life, please give me condolences, Your Majesty." Shangguan Chuixue sniffed and comforted softly.

She knew that in such a scene, the most painful thing was those companions who witnessed it with their own eyes, but if there was any possibility, Tuoba Lin would definitely bring Zhou Xinmian's body back with all his might.

She has had this kind of experience many times, and every time, she felt heart-piercing pain, and always felt that all the tears in her life would be shed, but when the same thing happened again, the tears were like spring water, No matter how the flow is endless.

"Concubine Six, you stole my king's lines. This should be said by me." Tuoba Lin said with deep eyes, "What does Zhou Xinmian have to do with you?"

"I asked for a friend, but I didn't expect that he was already dead, and he died so tragically." Shangguan Chuuxue sighed softly, raised his eyes and comforted, "No one wants such a thing to happen, but, since If it happened, we can only accept it, Your Majesty, we cannot let the heroic soul die in vain, we must do everything possible to prevent Yu Wenyan from attacking again, and we must not be subjugated slaves, otherwise, how can we be worthy of the heroic soul under the nine springs? "

"Yan Zixi, I really didn't expect that you, a woman, would advocate war!" Tuoba Lin said with a wry smile, "You may not know that there are two forces competing in the imperial court, one is the main war One is the main descendant faction. Ever since Yu Wenyan's army harassed the country many times, the power of the main descendant faction has become more and more rampant. Yu Wenyan scared everyone. Not many people are willing to fight anymore. It seems that there is no point in continuing to fight this battle. Sooner or later, you will lose. It is better to surrender earlier, suffer less punishment, and save some soldiers from dying. Originally, I was dedicated to fighting, but this I lost too many favorite generals at once, and it felt like a hole had been stabbed in my heart, if I hadn't dedicated myself to the fight, maybe none of them would have died..."

The man didn't flick his tears easily, but he didn't reach the point of sadness, Tuoba Lin's voice choked up when he thought of the bloody storm on the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, on the battlefield, casualties are unavoidable. If you give up resistance and surrender, then more people will die." Shangguan Chuuxue disapproved, "War is a way to control violence with violence." , Unless it is absolutely necessary, no one likes war. War is to protect the people they want to protect. Those soldiers willingly gave their precious lives for nothing more than to protect their favorite. The land, because on this land, there are their parents, wives and children, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends they love most, if surrendering can solve everything, why would they give up their lives?"

The tragedy of surrender is obvious to all. The victor can do anything to the surrenderer. He can kill and fight as he wants. Even if he wants to rape and plunder, the surrenderer is absolutely not qualified to resist. The life of the surrenderer is completely insecure. of.

Even life is not guaranteed, and the benefits are even more neglected. Therefore, any man with a little blood is reluctant to let his close relatives be treated like this. They would rather sacrifice their precious lives and protect themselves. Love this land, protect loved ones from ravages.

"Thank you, Yan Zixi." Tuoba Lin stared and said, "Not everyone can have your insight. Those surrenderers have never been slaves of subjugation, so naturally they don't understand. Once they surrender, wait for them What will it be?"

"That's right, how can people who have never experienced wind and snow know all kinds of cruelty and helplessness in life?" Shangguan Chuuxue nodded in approval, and raised his eyes, "So, His Highness is not wrong to advocate war. What we need to do most is to strengthen ourselves!"
