Huangfu Song's face immediately revealed an expression of displeasure. He stared coldly at Yang Lin, and did not speak for a long time. Zhu Jun was also a little embarrassed for a moment. He did not expect that there would be a conflict on this small matter. However, Yang Lin pretended not to have seen that his main goal in battle was to get prisoners and money, so he would never let go of any issues regarding principles. Zhu Jun was helpless and continued to discuss with Huangfu Song. He turned around and looked at Yang Lin fiercely.

”Alright then, you handle the captives and materials seized by your Youzhou Army. All the captives captured by the imperial government have been killed, and all the material has been burnt. ”

Is this the result of your discussion? Yang Lin's heart was immediately ignited with a nameless fire, they were his compatriots, was there a need to kill them all? Besides, what crime did those substances commit to burn it? If you don't want it, you can give it to me.

”Lord General, those captives were also burly people. They were ignorant and were bewitched by Zhang Jiao, thus they became thieves. Didn't the Lord General also recommend for the Imperial Court to pardon the world, and for Zhang Jiao to not forgive the world? Moreover, killing captives is ominous, and would harm the heavens and the earth. Wouldn't this be detrimental to the prestige of the Lord General? ”

Yang Lin originally advised her with good intentions, but to be able to save the captive meant that he had accumulated a few merits for being able to do so. Who knew that Huangfu Song would be so angry when he heard it. He raised his eyebrows and raised his moustache, and his voice also rose an octave.

”What brawny people, they are a bunch of random bandits!” Revolt against the thief, the crime is not to be punished. Order the blade and axe men to immediately carry it out, and send them to the Yang Di tomorrow. ”

After Huangfu Song finished speaking, he stood up fiercely, glared at Yang Lin, turned around and left angrily, leaving everyone in shock. Zhu Jun also stood up, his face did not have the slightest expression, and lightly looked at Yang Lin.

”Lord Commander, go and prepare as well. Don't miss tomorrow's departure on time.”

The captives captured by the officials were right outside of Long Society City. When Yang Lin and his brothers came out of Long Society City, they saw that the officials were killing people. Everyone was also fuming and didn't dare to say anything. Being influenced by Yang Lin, these few brothers also felt disgusted with the idea of killing the captives. Even if they were guilty, they didn't die. They were just ordinary soldiers, why not punish them with hard labor?

These generals, as well as the other nobles, paid great attention to the people of the foreign race. They were extremely righteous to the people of other tribes, but to their compatriots, they were exceptionally cruel. From the upheaval in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the reunification of the country in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the population went from over 50 million people to just 5 million people.

Yang Lin's mood was extremely depressed, and didn't bother to say another word on the way there. The brothers no longer had any interest in talking, so they all gloomily walked towards the camp. Just as they reached the entrance of the camp, they suddenly saw a young soldier with a yellow scarf kneeling in front of them, blocking their path.

Just as they were about to attack, Yang Lin raised his hand to stop them. A young soldier with a yellow scarf, what could he possibly have to beg of him? Yang Lin jumped off his horse, walked straight to the soldier and smiled at him.

”What's your name? What can I do for you? ”

The yellow scarfed soldier raised his head and looked at Yang Lin carefully. It was only then that Yang Lin realized that this was only a child. However, his childish face held a look of grief that was out of proportion to his age. He kowtowed three times, almost crying.

”My lord, my name is Wang Shun. Everyone calls me dicotyledon, eighteen years old this year. I want to be your cavalry, but the man you choose doesn't want me. He says I'm too thin. I'm only eighteen, and I'll grow strong. ”

Yang Lin took a step forward and pulled him up, patting his shoulder. He was indeed a little thin, just like most people in this era. Sigh, our race is truly one that suffers, Yang Lin could not help but shake his head.

”Why do you have to be a soldier? Isn't it good to till fields in Youzhou? ”

”Master, all of us in the village were almost starved to death. It was the passing xanthopanax that saved us, so we all joined the xanthopanax. In the end, we were all killed by the officials and army, leaving only the two of us. It was your doctors who saved Chunzi, I can see that you are the masters of justice, I want to follow you. ”

Yang Lin suddenly felt an indescribable sadness in his heart. Those high and mighty Overlords, Generals, Wealthy Classes and Scholars, who would truly respect the people of the world? All of the civil and military officials in the dynasty blamed Zhang Jiao's rebellion on the eunuchs. Who would have thought that the real main force would be the commoners who did not even have enough to eat? Zhang Jiao was just an instigator.

”Alright, I agree. Go and register, do your job well.”

”Thank you, milord.”

When Yang Lin just reached the tent, Jiang Po, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Du Yuan and Du Yuan came out, their expressions extremely ugly. Before he could speak, Hua Tuo had also ran over. He was fuming even more, as if Yang Lin owed her a lot of money.

”Brother Yang Lin, the reason I'm following you is because I find you guys kind and righteous. Why did he kill even prisoners now? These people were also the burly man's people. They had already surrendered, so why massacre? I can't stand watching such a thing happen. ”
