Chapter 420: Rise and Fall

Chen Xiuping's words made many soldiers shake. It was naturally a happy thing to take off the armor and go home, but whoever was going to be the first to be a leader would consider people. After a long time, one of them could not help it. He shouted and took off the armor and said in a guilty tone: "I am incompetent."

With the leader, the soldiers around him began to slowly take off their armor. Liu Ji, who was surrounded by his confidants, was a little anxious. Without the soldiers, Liu Ji was really useless and kept stopping people nearby from taking off their armor, but what could he, an incompetent person, do?

When he arrived at the back, even his confidants began to take off their armor. Liu Ji stood there blankly, muttering: "It's over, it's over, everything is over."

Chen Xiuping crossed the crowd, stood in front of Liu Ji, and said to the man who was already at the end of middle age: "As a general, you are always afraid to fight. What can the soldiers you brought out do?"

"It's you, it's you, Chen Xiuping, you bastard, I have worked hard for ten years to manage it."

Liu Ji was furious and drew his sword to cut at Chen Xiuping. However, Chen Xiuping was not a simple scholar. He turned around and fell back and fell back. Liu Ji's center of gravity was unstable and went straight to the end. Chen Xiuping signaled to his subordinates to capture Liu Ji.

"Liu Ji, as the governor, privately led his troops to retreat south, resulting in the enemy's attack on the front line. This is the first crime. Disobeying the special envoy's orders is like disobeying the emperor's orders. This is the second crime. Taking action against the special envoy means disrespect to the emperor. This is the third crime. Capture it first and then ask for a crime after the war."

A difficult thing was perfectly solved by Chen Xiuping. Although the solution was somewhat inappropriate, it was true that the army without combat effectiveness might as well disband directly. Keeping it is also a troublesome thing. After all, if a war breaks out, if something goes wrong in a certain link, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In arresting Liu Ji, only a few of them were holding weapons in their hands, and most of them had taken off their armor. Chen Xiuping said to them again: "Those who don't want to give up, now they have become a column and incorporated into our army. Those who give up will turn around and enter Jianghuai City. They will settle in Jianghuai City first. After the war is over, those who want to go home can go home."

This is Chen Xiuping's cleverness. The army is the army, the people are the people. The army does the military affairs, and the people do the people's affairs. If they take off their armor, they will be the people. These more than 100,000 people enter Jianghuai City. With so many labor forces in Jianghuai City, they can develop again.

Looking at the vast army, Chen Xiuping sighed: "The end of the new Song Dynasty has arrived. The people are not willing to return and the morale of the army is dispersed. How should this dilemma be solved?"

The Buddha Saint on the side heard Chen Xiuping's comments and could be said to be very bold. A minister dared to speak like this to the country, so he asked, "I know that this is a bit abrupt. I'll forget it if I hear it, don't listen to it."

"Haha, Buddha Saint is a cautious person, but what can others do if they hear it? This is the fact. At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, Taizu led the way and all officials were governed by them. The huge territory was prosperous. At that time, heroes emerged. But now, there were indeed an old man who led the war, and the only general who wanted to fight was pressed to Yingtian. This was a loss of heart. Without the support of the people, the New Song Dynasty was really destroyed."
