On the afternoon of the third day of December, Shahan Pass was finally breached.
A large number of Western Qin army slaves rushed into the pass and killed anyone they saw.
They were already crazy.
The siege and fighting over the past few days had made them nervous, and they had no order to retreat. , they dare not stop their swords and guns, lest they be killed by others, and rely entirely on instinct to support them in fighting until they die.
Now they couldn't control the swords and guns in their hands at all, and the fighting lasted for so long that they thought the people on the opposite side were enemies when they saw them, so they killed everyone they saw.
Zhao Ziliang was still happy that he could capture Shahan Pass, but Du Fu hurriedly walked into the tent and spoiled his mood, "Your Majesty, those slaves who captured Shahan Pass were crazy.
They killed every one they saw and couldn't hold back. , many of the surrendered soldiers were hacked to death, and they are still killing now.
Even after our soldiers entered the pass, they were unable to stop them.
Please ask the king to immediately order them to withdraw their troops and return to the camp, otherwise more people will die innocently."
Zhao Ziliang knew very well what the situation Du Fu was talking about was going on.
This siege was so powerful and intense that it had never been seen before.
Only by using these slaves and servants, even if the losses were again He won't feel bad at all.
However, with such a large siege force and intensity, the slaves and servants responsible for the siege were under tremendous psychological pressure, which had already exceeded their ability to bear.
All kinds of negative emotions have been occupying their minds these days, and killing has become a The best way for them to vent is that no method will work at this time.
The only way is to kill them to exhaustion and let them vent all the negative emotions accumulated in their hearts these days.
Zhao Ziliang said to Du Fu: "I already know this, and I deliberately did not order them to stop.
On the one hand, these slaves are under too much pressure.
They have been defeated repeatedly in the siege battles, and their hearts are full of Rage, this anger needs to be vented.
If they are not allowed to vent, If it comes, it will bring great hidden dangers in the future, and once it breaks out, it will cause even greater losses; on the other hand, the cannibals have resisted so resolutely this time, and we need to send a signal to the outside world to let other cannibals know that we are resolute.
The consequences of resistance, stubborn resistance can only be a dead end."
Du Fu was so anxious that he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, it is not good to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
The remaining Da Shi army in the pass has surrendered.
Killing the surrendered soldiers is against morality and will inevitably arouse the Da Shi people to resist even more strongly.
Please think twice, Your Majesty" Zhao Ziliang looked at Du Fu coldly and said: "During this expedition, I did not order the indiscriminate killing of innocent people.
At most, I only forcibly apportioned the local chiefs and forcibly confiscated grain and grass.
Every time the cannibals invaded our country, Compared with the massacre of the city, this king has already been very kind and cannibalized once.
Once again testing the bottom line of our Western Qin, this king’s western expedition will tell everyone in the world that any country that dares to provoke our Western Qin must be prepared to bear the wrath of our Western Qin.
These big cannibals are unruly and unruly. , How can I let them know that they are afraid without thunderous means?
Just leave it like that."
"King" Zhao Ziliang glared angrily: "I am asking you to go out because my words are not working, or because you are deaf."
Liu Dan, who was on duty at the Chinese army's main tent today, saw this and immediately stepped forward to pull Du Fu up and said: "Master Du has been very tired these days.
It's better to go back and eat something first, and then take a good rest.
I happen to be a little hungry."
Now, I’ll have a few drinks with Mr.
Du and take a walk.”
Finally, Du Fu was pulled out of the Chinese army's tent, and Liu Dan breathed a sigh of relief.
Du Fu said angrily to Liu Shan: "Master Liu, what are you doing to pull Du out?
Did Du say something wrong?"
Hearing this, Liu Shan looked around and sighed: "Master Du, why are you so stubborn?
It's not like you don't know the king's temper.
You insist on arguing with the king.
This is why the king has been maintaining restraint.
If today's matter is placed in the At the Central Plains court back then, Mr.
Du was afraid that he had already The emperor ordered us to be imprisoned in heaven.
Our king of Western Qin Dynasty is wise and will not be punished for his words.

However, we cannot attack the king without any scruples.
You must know that the king is also a normal person, and he also has emotions and desires. , if he fails to restrain himself, the consequences will be disastrous."
Du Fu snorted coldly: "What are you afraid of?
I am already fifty-nine this year and will soon be in my sixtieth year.
I have lived enough, but I can't watch the king ignore those things that kill innocent people indiscriminately.
This goes against the teachings of the saints, and even more so.
It is detrimental to the king’s wisdom.”
Liu Shan sighed in his heart, patted his forehead with his hand, and then persuaded: "I know Mr.
Du has good intentions, for the sake of the wise king, and also for the benevolence and righteousness of the Western Qin Dynasty, but you should know that there are many conquests.
There is no reason to reason at all times.
If reasoning can solve the problem, why don't the two sides sit down and reason with each other?
The reason why we use force is because we can't reason with them.
Mr.
Du, please forgive me.
If you’re offended, when it comes to writing poems, articles, and copywriting, I’m not as good as Mr.
Du, but when it comes to how to be an official, especially how to deal with foreign affairs, Mr.
Du is definitely not as good as me.
In my opinion, this matter is Du’s.
Sir, you did something wrong.
You must know that the king did not order the massacre of the surrendered soldiers in the pass.
It was the slave soldiers who suffered a mental breakdown after enduring great pressure and killed them indiscriminately.
They have lost control. , all they have in mind now is kill, kill, kill, and they will not stop until they kill everyone they can see.
At this time, no one's orders will work.
If the king orders to withdraw his troops, if those slave soldiers who have lost control do not listen and do not execute, won't there be consequences?
I have spent a lot of time in the military, so I know a little bit about these things.
It is not uncommon for this kind of thing to happen.
Once it happens, it is best not to ignore it.
Ask, they will naturally return to normal when they are tired of killing.
There are worse things than this.
Just like this time, if the king forcibly orders them to withdraw their troops and return to the camp, hidden dangers will inevitably be laid, and it is very likely to cause an explosion.
Bombing the camp is much more terrifying than this, Mr.
Du, your Majesty is a master of military affairs.
He understands this kind of thing better than anyone else and knows how to deal with it.
Please don't cause any more trouble."
Du Fu was stunned when Liu Dan said, "You really didn't lie to me, did you?"
Liu Shan smiled bitterly and said: "Master Du, do I need to lie to you?
You, the king, can tolerate your bad temper.
If it were any other king, your actions today would be enough to get you dismissed from office. , maybe even my life can’t be saved.
Then again, this may be the reason why the king keeps you by his side.
The official position is not high, and the honor and favor you receive are unmatched.
The only person in the civil and military circles of the dynasty is you, Du Zimei.
Okay, I still have it.
If you want to go back to duty, I won’t send you off.”
"Wait a minute," Du Fu called to Liu Dan.
Liu Dan turned around and said in surprise: "What's wrong?

I still can't figure it out."
Du Fu said: "Since I have made a mistake, I have to correct it.
Wait until I go and admit my mistake to the king."
Liu Dan looked at Du Fu stupidly as he walked into the Chinese army's tent.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses and said, "This Du Zimei actually took the initiative to admit his mistake.
The sun is really shining in the west."
Inside the tent, Du Fu lifted up the hem of his official uniform and knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty, Mr.
Liu just told me the reason for this incident.
I don't understand the military affairs, and I don't know the King's painstaking efforts, and I came to ask the King aggressively." , I still contradicted the king, I was wrong, please punish me.”
Zhao Ziliang raised his head and stared at Du Fu with his mouth open, and saw Liu Dan walking in with a stunned look on his face.
He pointed at Du Fu and asked Liu Dan: "Liu Qing, old man Du is seriously ill.
Find him a doctor quickly."
Du Fu immediately said: "Your Majesty, I am not sick.
I really know that I was wrong.
Since I am wrong, I must admit my mistake and accept the punishment.
Your Majesty, don't be surprised.
Although I am not young, I still have the courage to admit my mistakes." of" "Oh no, why does this king feel a little unreal?"
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but say a bad word.
Du Fu immediately said: "Your Majesty, you are swearing.
As a king, you should pay attention to your words and deeds and not say bad words casually.
You must know that a king has no joking words and a golden tongue is an essential quality of a king.
A king should have the demeanor of a king.
How can you not Cursing like the helpless people in the market.”
I wiped it and was about to recite sutras again.
Zhao Ziliang said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I know my mistake.
I will definitely change it in the future.
I will change it like this.
You go back and rest first.
I still have some memorials to review, so I won't send them to you."
"Wait a minute, since I have done something wrong, I will be punished.
Your Majesty has not yet made a decision to punish me."
The firm look on Du Fu's old face made Liu Dan feel a toothache just looking at him.
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Okay, if you know your mistakes and you can correct them, there is no greater good.
Since you know your mistakes, you can just correct them in the future.
This is not a big deal, so I will not punish you."
But Du Fu was unwilling to give up: "That's not okay.
If you make a mistake, you must be punished.
Otherwise, if you do something wrong without taking responsibility, wouldn't it make many people do wrong things unscrupulously?"
Zhao Ziliang looked at Du Fu with his mouth wide open.
He had seen people begging for mercy, but he had never seen anyone who wanted to be punished.
He looked at Liu Dan and asked: "Master Liu, how do you think Master Du should be punished?"
Liu Dan looked at Zhao Ziliang and then at Du Fu.
He smiled bitterly in his heart.
He was also conquered by Du Fu's strange character.
He raised his hands and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, according to the extent of Master Du's mistake, Wei Chen thinks that he should be fined for half a year. , and issued a serious warning.”

Zhao Ziliang nodded with satisfaction: "Well, this punishment is good, but there is one more thing to add.
I have to write a poem describing our soldiers' Western Expedition within three days.
The writing is not good and makes me dissatisfied.
But I want to Du Zimei, who is increasing the punishment, do you hear clearly?"
Du Fu bowed down and kowtowed: "I obey the decree and thank the Lord for his kindness":
