Lu 47 Killing on the battlefield is a sad choice
Zhi Xingshuai shot Xie Anvil to death, bringing the battle on Snake and Scorpion Mountain to an end.
That Xu Fei was still hesitating beside him, not knowing what to do with this unconscious enemy, but he had already been finished by Zhi Xingshuai. I was surprised and uncomfortable in my heart, and I couldn't speak for a while.
Although this Xie brother almost killed himself on the cliff, he is now unconscious and a person who has no ability to resist. Besides, even if he violated the royal law and was sentenced to death, he should be ordered to be arrested by the imperial court, and then he could be convicted after three trials and six questions.
Even if the emperor kills someone, he has to be sentenced to an autumn queen, so as to conform to the time of heaven and pay attention to a killing atmosphere that conforms to heaven. He and Zhi Xingshuai are just ordinary people, and it is really inappropriate to take people's lives at every turn.
Although I can't figure out what is wrong, I always feel that this kind of thief who has no ability to resist should be sent to the government.
Although there are a lot of lives under his hands, they are all the result of thieves wanting to harm themselves and being forced to take action.
Xu Fei was quite apprehensive in his heart, he was speechless for a while, and he was stunned immediately.
How could this change in mood be concealed from Zhi Xingshuai, and he immediately saw what Xu Fei was thinking. Knowing that this Xu Shuai still can't make a decision to kill because of his good heart, this is really a big taboo in the future military duel.
But I also know that once this kind of thing is said excessively, it will be counterproductive, and it must be explained thoroughly from the root of the truth, so as to completely cut off the confusion in the other party's heart.
Zhi Xingshuai opened his mouth and said to Xu Fei: "Xu Shuai doesn't want to kill people, in fact, I don't want to, all the people in the world are God's people, and it stands to reason that they should live in peace and live and work in peace and contentment." ”
"But now in troubled times, we good people don't have much choice, if you don't kill him, you will be harmed by him, I think Xu Shuai also understands this truth. ”
Xu Fei saw Zhi Xingshuai talking about it, so he said: "Naturally, I also know that this kind of thief is not killing the tiger, but these people no longer have any ability to resist, should we send them to the government." Then the conviction was tried three times and six questions were asked, and even the crime of killing the head had to be done by the imperial court. ”
Zhi Xingshuai got straight to the point, and when he heard Xu Fei talk, he knew that this was the best time to persuade.
He immediately said: "If it is a peaceful and prosperous era, this kind of person will naturally be sent to the government, but now the government is corrupt, as long as you spend money on any crime, you can escape from prison." ”
"This Jieanqiao Jiebao has dealt with the officials and soldiers so many times and killed so many officers and soldiers, but as far as I know, these people have colluded with many officials in Linyuan Prefecture, and every time the officers and soldiers encircle and suppress, it is the people in the official government who report the news, so they can win many battles. ”
Xu Fei was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't expect that there would be such a relationship. In fact, Xie Anvil Xie Bao has been operating in this snake and scorpion mountain for many years, and has always had a deep relationship network with the local government.
Over the years, it was Linyuanzhou who changed his boss and wanted to clean up this banditry. However, the local government and the official army are all self-respecting, and they reap a lot of benefits from the anvil and the fort on weekdays, so how can they just cut off this source of wealth?
Therefore, every time the above organized a clean-up, the local government not only did not actively cooperate, but instead reported the news and delayed the fighters. Solve the anvil and solve the fort, and then escaped death many times.
Therefore, if this anvil is sent to the official government, it will inevitably make these people in the official government use Li Daitao's strategy to impersonate them. People will still secretly let it go.
Zhi Xingshuai has spies to investigate the movements of soldiers and horses in the Central Plains in detail, so he knows all these things.
Seeing that Xu Fei was speechless for a while, Zhi Xingshuai asked again: "If Xu Shuai has just won a big victory on the battlefield and captured a lot of enemy soldiers, but you don't have enough military rations, and your boss asked you to hurry up and rush to another battlefield, how can Xu Shuai decide?"
"In the future, Xu Shuai will live and die with the brothers of the Zhi family, so these things must be clarified. The general's orders on the battlefield are in danger of thousands of people's lives, and every word is related to the lives of the brothers, so I have to ask. ”
Xu Fei grew up in the dart bureau since he was a child, where did he know this, and if he said this kind of sentence again, he would lose the lives of thousands of people, how could he make a decision, so he had to shake his head.
He asked Zhi Xingshuai rhetorically: "How can the Zhi brothers decide? Wouldn't so many people starve to death together if they had no food to eat? Since there is a new battlefield that needs to be rushed, then dismiss these prisoners and hurry up." ”
Zhi Xingshuai looked up to the sky and sighed.
"If you do it according to Xu Shuai's words, I'm afraid it will be a huge disaster, and it is close at hand!"
"When the captives are dismissed, they will form a rebel army and bring harm to the local people. This kind of rebel gangster is even more reluctant to do things than the most brutal bandits, because these people will flee to other places after looting and killing, so they will never leave any hands behind. ”
"And the rear is unstable, and there are many wanderers, which is the most taboo thing in the war. Xu Shuai seems to be kind-hearted and soft-faced, but if he really acts like this on the battlefield, then I don't know how many innocent people's lives will be lost because of this, and I don't know how many daughters of good people will give disaster to these rebels!"
Xu Fei was dumbfounded when he heard this, he didn't expect that his one-thought benevolence would have such a big disaster, and he was speechless for a while, and he couldn't speak anymore.
But the doubts in my heart have not been resolved, if this method does not work, is there any other better way?
Zhi Xingshuai did not answer immediately, but asked the masters of the Shence Army to recover the horses that had fled from the castle. He dragged all the dead men and horses on the ground with horse ropes, and found a hiding place to bury them. The blood on the ground was also covered with floating earth.
After the group finished these things, they immediately returned to Wu Gu Pingzhong, and on the way, Xu Fei really couldn't hold back, and asked Zhi Xingshuai: "The predicament just now is really incomprehensible, and I ask Brother Zhi for more advice." ”
Zhi Xingshuai said with a smile: "I can't talk about asking for advice, it's just that I have been fighting on the battlefield of Jin Ge Iron Horse since I was a child, and I have seen all kinds of battles in different worlds." Although these battles are in different formations and different styles of fighting, what they have in common is that they have common standards when dealing with killing. ”
"It's all about winning!"
"In the predicament just now, the military food is not enough, so it will not be able to feed so many prisoners, and if they are released, it will endanger the people. Then there is only one way, and when the battle situation is critical, you can't slowly find a solution, except for the most warlike and obedient people who are left behind, the others can only be killed on the spot!"
This sentence was categorical, like a big hammer slamming into Xu Fei's heart, almost causing the young man to fall off his horse.
Killed?
I am afraid that there will be hundreds of such captives, and in today's battle at Wuguping, hundreds of people disarmed and surrendered. Could it be that the intention of Zhi Xingshuai's words was to kill all these people?
Xu Fei couldn't help but have mixed feelings for a while when he heard this, although these people didn't seem to be good people, but it was not necessarily necessary to say that they all had people in their hands and were afraid of their lives.
Just wanted to say something, but heard Zhi Xingshuai say: "Today, the minions of this snake and scorpion mountain are all guilty of capital crimes according to the laws of the imperial court, they attacked Tuquan County the year before last, and slaughtered and plundered the surrounding villages without breaking through the city defenses, and there were many dead and wounded. ”
"Let's just say that last year, the bandits of this snake and scorpion mountain went down the mountain to loot as many as a dozen times, and each time someone died, try to ask how these people's lives can be redressed. ”
Xu Fei's heart was already in chaos, he originally thought that the battlefield battle of this Jin Ge Iron Horse was very enjoyable, and he could show his skills and be a hero of the world.
I didn't expect that this kind of cruelty on the battlefield far exceeded my expectations, and it was definitely not something that the current mentality could bear.
Zhi Xingshuai must have something to mean when he said about killing prisoners, and now there are a lot of prisoners of these minions on Snake and Scorpion Mountain, although they all sound like some extremely vicious people, but if they kill hundreds of people at once, where can they open their mouths.
Peeking at Zhi Xingshuai, the pair of tiger eyes stared at him quietly, as if he was waiting for his own order.
Xu Fei secretly complained in his heart.
