Chapter 91: Really So Important

There was a voice in his heart that complained to him that he could go!

It was just that he didn't dare to leak out this thought out of his mind. It wasn't because of the reason that although he was a leader of a troop, but he didn't kill many Xiongnu. It had nothing to do with the amount. He didn't need to behead the enemy like ordinary soldiers. His more important function was to be a role model and arouse the morale of all the soldiers.

But what exactly did Zhao Zhong mean.

The pressure coming from Zhao Zimu made Zhang Xin extremely nervous and uneasy. He moved his left foot involuntarily and wanted to take a step back. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zimu withdrew her gaze on him and turned her gaze to the soldiers of Great Liang who were plundering the Xiongnu wantonly. She gently opened her thin lips and said, "You are high-ranking official. If you want to go, then go, but you have to remember to not compete with the soldiers."

As a high-ranking official, you have the right to get the honor you deserve, but there was no need to compete with the soldiers because they could bring you much more than you can get by yourself.

They could win you victory, meritorious service, honor and even life. They could bring you a meritorious service that would go down to history.

Therefore, they had brought you enough. What you want, you can get yourself, but you need to leave room for these soldiers because these were brought by them. You must give them enough benefits to ensure that they would work loyally for you.

Only with profit could one gain the loyalty of others the fastest. It was the same for all people.

After listening to Zhao Zimu, Zhang Xin stopped trying to step out and looked at the soldiers who had plunged into the Xiongnu's yurts. There was a thoughtful look in his eyes, but in the end, he didn't take the hesitating step.

Zhao Zimu listen to the sounds coming out gradually from the camp. There were burst of women's crying, cursing, yelling and as well as the low sobs of the elderly and children. However, there was no fluctuation in her heart.

Because she knew that it had always been like this; the winners took all. Those who had become trophies tonight couldn't blame anyone because they were the enemy. Moreover, they were the enemies that had to be defeated.

Their bodies were exactly what these soldiers needed to vent on in their dull and hot-blooded life. These soldiers were people who would go through death every time. They didn't have high demands and, in their eyes, there was only the enemy and their own people. They could treat their people well and protect them with their lives and use their swords to fight for them.

The pay of being a soldier wasn't much. They wouldn't open their mouth like Confucius and Mencius to pay attention to being a gentleman. They left their native place and have no family to rely on. They may even die young. The chance that they would get married was also very small. Thus, what they did to these Xiongnu women became a must and as it should be by rights.

Because they were the enemy. They could only bring fear and hatred to the opponent. There was no right or wrong between enemies. There was only life or death and winning or losing.

Zhao Zimu knew that her true identity was different from these people. She would not use her own standards to restrict the needs of these soldiers as men. Besides, these were what they deserved. She would only draw a basic bottom line for them and will not let these soldiers be as cruel as beasts.
