By the way, I just accidentally discovered when using Qidian’s “Writer’s Assistant” software that you can choose to be permanently banned using this software, instead of only being banned for a month like on the PC version. I don’t know if it’s true. Well, anyway.
It's a good thing, a useful tool to deal with trolls, give it a thumbs up.

"Stop throwing bombs!"
After the scheduled barrel bomb offensive ended, Wu Ji, the general of the Shangshui Army, immediately issued an order to the soldiers in charge of the thirty catapults to stop the attack.
At this time, the rain had gradually stopped, but the flames in the Luocheng area were still mercilessly burning everything around the city.
"Still not planning to surrender?"
After waiting for about a cup of tea, Sima An exhaled, a pair of tiger eyes flashing with astonishing ferocity, turned to Zhao Hongrun beside him and said: "Your Highness, King Su, seems to have faced the city, but still does not intend to surrender and is trying to resist.
In the end."
After saying that, he glanced at the convoy of the merchant navy in the distance intentionally or unintentionally.
According to his visual inspection, among the many manpower or horse-drawn carts, it seemed that the barrels were filled with strong fire oil that could continue to burn in the rain. The number was still a huge number in carts.
"Wait a little longer." Perhaps because he understood what Sima An meant, Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said calmly.
Seeing this, Sima An smiled lightly and didn't care.
Anyway, he can already be sure that His Highness King Su next to him will not be too tolerant when it comes to dealing with enemies.
That's enough.
"Then just wait." He nodded.
At this moment, a call came from nearby.
"King Su, General Sima."
Zhao Hongrun and Sima An turned around and saw that Wu Wu, the young leader of the Qingyang tribe, had arrived here with two young men of his own tribe at some unknown time.
"Have the chiefs of the Yi and Yi tribes in Luocheng not sent anyone to surrender yet?" Wuwu asked in the language of Wei after glancing at the raging fire in the direction of Luocheng.
"Not yet." Zhao Hongrun shook his head, and then, with a bit of embarrassment in his expression, he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Wuwu, for letting you see such...a bad scene..."
It’s no wonder that Zhao Hongrun said this. After all, the Qingyang tribe is also a branch of the Yi people, and there are also Yi people in Luocheng across the street. They killed their fellow tribesmen in front of the Wuwu people. This made those who sincerely regard the Qingyang tribe as their friends
Zhao Hongrun felt a little guilty.
However, Wuwu seemed quite free and easy about this. After taking a look at Luocheng, which was still burning in the distance, he shook his head and said frankly: "I understand what your highness means. However, the fact is exactly the opposite. The power displayed by the Wei army today
The strength convinced me once again that the decision I made without authorization was correct. This decision would not lead to the destruction of our Qingyang tribe... As for the Shei people opposite, I can only say that they made the wrong choice.
"
Hearing this, Sima An touched his chin in surprise, and his evaluation of Wuwu, a member of the Sheang tribe, improved even more.
After all, Wu Wu's age is just a weak one in his opinion, but in this case, Wu Wu can make such an objective analysis so calmly, instead of being irritable because he is also a member of the Sheang ethnic group.
It is not easy for other soldiers of the Yi tribe to be angry after being killed by their Wei people, and yet still express some upright opinions.
"If you think so, I feel relieved." Zhao Hongrun nodded, and then couldn't help but ask: "Oona..."
"Prince Su, don't worry, Wu Na is not a little girl who doesn't know right from wrong or right from wrong. Although she can't bear the current situation of the Shei people opposite her..." Speaking of this, Wu Wu hesitated for a moment. After all, he couldn't bear it.
Di implored: "King Su, please let me go and appeal for surrender. I am also a member of the Yi tribe. Perhaps the Yi tribe in Luodi will listen to the advice of my fellow tribesmen."
Zhao Hongrun and Sima An looked at each other, and when the latter shrugged and said it didn't matter, he then solemnly said to Wu Wu: "Please be sure to convince the Yi and Yi tribes in Luocheng... In order to win this battle, I will choose
Use whatever means necessary, but I really don’t want to do unnecessary killings.”
Wu Wu was stunned when he heard this. After carefully looking at Zhao Hongrun's expression, he nodded and said, "I will convey the benevolence and martial arts of your country and King Su to the tribes in Luocheng."
After saying that, he clasped his fists like the Wei soldiers did, and immediately took the two young men of his tribe and rode towards Luocheng.
Looking at Wuwu and others leaving, Zhao Hongrun had some doubts on his face.
"The way of benevolence and martial arts? What is that? Does the general know about it?"
"Renwu..." Sima An's expression was a bit disheartened when he heard this, and he said calmly: "That is to use force in a controlled manner and retain the most basic benevolence and righteousness. Do not kill the old and the disabled, do not kill women and children, do not kill prisoners, do not rape and plunder,
Don't burn people's houses, don't destroy people's fields... That's about it, it's the military regulations formulated by our army in the Wei Dynasty at the beginning." At this point, he curled his lips, shook his head and commented: "Although it was a certain great leader from the past.
The general made it, but...it was quite naive and childish."
"Why?" Zhao Hongrun was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but said: "I think it makes sense."
Sima An glanced at Zhao Hongrun and suddenly asked: "Didn't Your Highness witness with your own eyes the cities and counties that were captured by the Chu army?"
His words made the nearby Shang Shui soldiers extremely embarrassed. Although Sima An did not accuse them by name, they all turned red in the face.
It’s no wonder, because they knew very well what they had done to the Wei city after the fall under the leadership of Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, and Xiong Hu, Lord of Pingyu.
It may be precisely because of this reason that no matter how much the Wei people in Anling, Zhaoling and Huaiyang hated them, the newly joined Wei people, like the soldiers of the Shangshui Army and the Yanling Army, they never
What kind of protest should be made against those Wei people?
Firstly, they are now also members of the Wei people, and secondly, they feel guilty.
After hearing what Sima An said, Zhao Hongrun also fell silent.
Of course he had witnessed with his own eyes the frontline counties of his country after the Chu-Wei War. He could vividly remember the devastated world, the burned-down houses, and the corpses of Wei people who were killed and piled up on hills.
This allowed him to gradually understand why Sima An felt that the way of benevolence and martial arts were just naive remarks.
However, he sincerely believed that the way of benevolence and martial arts was a good thing. If it could become the style of Wei's army, he believed that there would be fewer obstacles to Wei's ability to absorb foreigners in the future.
After all, violence can solve problems, but it cannot solve all problems. Zhao Hongrun knows this very well. Otherwise, the powerful Chu State would not be restrained by the rebellions in its country, and would have no choice but to ask Wei State for help.
and.
But from Sima An's tone, it seemed that this military rule had been abandoned by their Wei army, which made Zhao Hongrun feel very sorry.
"Is there anything else?...a general who believes in benevolence and martial arts."
After hearing this, Sima An looked up at the gradually clearing sky and said lightly: "There are, for example, that guy at Chenggaoguan."
Is it General Zhu Hai?
Zhao Hongrun was shocked when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not surprising. After all, Zhu Hai, the general of the Chenggao Army, was originally a general who advocated living in harmony with the Sanchuan tribe. In the past ten years,
, in addition to guarding the Chenggao Pass area from the Jie people's intrusion, he never took the initiative to send troops to attack Sanchuan, and he never vented his hatred of the Jie people on the Yi and Yi people.
Renwu...?
Reciting this word secretly, Zhao Hongrun was thoughtful.
At the same time, in the chief's ceremonial tent in Luocheng, Halegoh, the chief of the White Sheep Tribe, had united with the other chiefs to subdue Rabitu, the chief of the Black Sheep Tribe, and tied him up with a rope.
After that, the tribal chiefs united and controlled the tribal warriors of the Black Sheep Tribe.
It’s no wonder, after all, the leader of the Black Sheep Tribe, Rabitu, only came here to persuade them to be enemies of the Wei State. He only brought a few hundred people with him when he came, and the soldiers of the Yi and Yi tribes in Luo City
, that is more than ten times or more than twenty times that of the former. Therefore, it is impossible to control hundreds of Black Sheep tribesmen.
This incident made the leader of the Black Sheep Tribe, Rabitu, furious. He cursed loudly and cursed the tribesmen of these tribes here. The tribes would definitely be destroyed by the Wei army!
"Gagged him!"
Halegoh, the leader of the Aries tribe, frowned and ordered his men to gag Rabitu's mouth.
But it is undeniable that Rabitu's threats still made several tribal leaders hesitate.
"(In Shen language) Halegoh, do you think the Wei people will really spare us?"
Halegoh waved his hands and comforted: "As far as I know, the Wei people are generally quite kind. Isn't the reason why they attacked us because you betrayed their friendship?... Before that, when that
When a Wei force called the Shang Navy passed near our Luodi area, did they attack?"
"(In the language of the Yi people) But the question is, if we did something like that, will the Wei people forgive us?... Damn it! Who leaked the news?!"
"Okay." Halegoh waved his hand and said seriously: "It's meaningless to worry about these things now... At this point, we can only show our greatest sincerity, hoping to offset the Wei people's heart.
anger."
"(In the language of the Yi people) What if we surrender, will the Wei people still refuse to let us go?" A clan leader couldn't help but ask.
"Probably not." Halegoh shook his head and said: "If the Wei army goes back on its promise and continues to massacre us after accepting our surrender, then in this land of Sanchuan, they will never again
Take in any prisoner."
"(In the language of the Yi people) If the Wei people really refuse to let us go, we will all die. Who cares if they can accept any more surrenders in the future..."
"Do you mean to fight against the Wei army?" Halegoh glanced at the other party and pointed out unconvincingly: "With all due respect, if you go out of the city to fight with the Wei army at this moment, isn't it a dead end? Why not take a gamble?
How about betting that the Wei people are not as bloodthirsty as we thought?"
Are we betting that a Wei team that massacred our Sanchuan tribesmen in our Sanchuan land was not as murderous as we thought?
The clan leaders looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At this moment, an urgent exclamation suddenly came from outside the tent.
"(In the language of the Yi tribe) Clan chiefs, Wu Wu, the young chief of the Qingyang tribe, came to surrender on behalf of the Wei army outside the city..."
Huh?
The tribal chiefs looked at each other in confusion.
