As for the lives of the citizens of Pill Water City, what did it have to do with the Revolutionary Army?
To put it bluntly, the 200,000-strong army was a motley crew.
Before the defeat at Wu Pass, their morale had been at its lowest point. Now, they desperately needed a one-sided massacre.
Only then could he vent the resentment in his chest!
Under the night sky, the moonlight shone with a demonic light.
The originally bright moonlight seemed to have been dyed with a deep haze.
In the city by the Elixir River, the people had already fallen asleep. The entire city was silent.
How could they have expected that at this moment, a group of fierce bandits would secretly attack, armed with sharp weapons, and break through the city gate with violence?
A bloody massacre in the moonlight!
For a moment, the entire Pill Water City was filled with screams and a thick smell of blood.
The rebel army laughed sinisterly and started a brutal massacre. The so-called Liu Bang's rebel army had completely exposed their beastly nature.
In less than an hour, the brutal Fan Kuai had led his men to slaughter the Danshui Guard General and the civilians.
Even the babies who were still in swaddling clothes and were waiting to be fed were killed.
Needless to say, those old, weak, women, and children were killed immediately.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood, and the ground was filled with broken corpses and expressions of unwillingness and fear.
After seeing this, Ling Ren felt his entire body tremble.
In this chaotic world, human lives were like grass. If one didn't want to be killed, one could only kill. This was fate.
A moment later.
"Reporting to Lord Pei, General Zhou and General Fan have taken down Danshui City and seized a large amount of resources, grain, gold, silver, and other items.”
The messenger of the vanguard army had suddenly arrived with the news that Zhou Bo and Fan Kuai had conquered Danshui City.
This caused the rebel army of the Elixir Water Camp to boil with excitement.
They had been busy all the way, causing the rations in the army to decrease continuously, let alone meat and fish.
Now that they had conquered Pill Water City, they could finally feast and satisfy their appetites.
The soldiers present were excited just thinking about it. Even Liu Bang was surprised to hear this.
He was just about to order the army to move to Pill Water City to fill their stomachs.
"Pei Gong, please punish Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo.”
At this moment, Xiao He barged into the tent with a cold face and said in a deep and fierce voice.
"Xiao He, do you know what you are saying?”
"Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo captured Danshui City and seized a large amount of grain and gold. They are the heroes of our Revolutionary Army!”
"It's fine if you don't ask for merit for them, but you still want me to punish them. What kind of logic is that!”
Liu Bang's mouth was wide open as he exclaimed in shock.
It would have been fine if he didn't mention this, but the moment he did, Xiao He became even angrier.
"Pei Gong, if they had only taken the provisions and gold and silver from Pill Water City, it would have been fine. But do you know what kind of inhumane things Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo did in Pill Water City?”
"Massacre the city!"
"They actually gave the order to slaughter the entire Pill Water City. The old, the weak, the women, and the children were all killed!”
"Right now, the city is littered with corpses. It's like hell on earth. Other than the rebel army, there's not even a single living Danshui citizen!”
Liu Bang raised his eyebrows in surprise.
But in reality, he didn't care too much about it.
They weren't on the same side, so it didn't matter if they were killed.
Although massacring a city was not benevolent, those who achieved great things did not care about trifles.
After all, Xiao He was just a scholar, and his heart was still too soft.
This was a war. Killing people was a common thing. What was there to be surprised about?
He even wanted to punish two of his generals?
Therefore, Liu Bang explained patiently.
"Lord Xiao, I believe that the Qin army must have been stubborn and had no choice but to order Zhou Bo and the others to massacre the city.”
"Under the situation of killing until one's eyes are red, some things are hard to avoid. Xiang Yu often does this. Our army will only do this once.”
"In the Battle of Dingtao, Xiang Liang, the Lord Wuxin of the Chu Country, died in battle. In his rage, Xiang Yu would order a massacre every time he attacked a city. Wherever he went, there would be mountains of corpses and seas of blood.”
Do you really think there will be a next time?
Xiao He shook his head indifferently.
"No, I can't! A few days ago, Danshui County had already sent an envoy over to announce their allegiance to the Pei County Revolutionary Army.”
"Now, our army has broken our promise and attacked Danshui. We even slaughtered a city. If the world knows about this, how will our soldiers deal with it?”
From the words, he could hear everything clearly, not to mention Zhou Bo and Fan Kuai, who had killed their enemies on the battlefield.
Even Liu Bang didn't care about the massacre.
In the long run, the Revolutionary Army would definitely become like the Qin Army, or even worse.
Wherever they passed, the people and soldiers avoided them like snakes and scorpions.
Without saying anything else, Xiao He stood up and said solemnly,"Pei Gong, if we don't punish Zhou and Fan today, I won't be able to join the Revolutionary Army."”
"Everyone in the world knows that Xiang Yu is cruel and tyrannical. Every time he passes through a city, he massacres it, causing the hearts of the people to fall.”
"Even Prince Huai of Chu is extremely wary of him. Today, the Pei County Revolutionary Army has also followed Xiang Yu's example.”
