Chapter 82: Killing the Prisoner

Hearing Wang Yansheng's answer, seeing that his face was not ashamed, Murong Yanzhao's words suddenly became excited: "We were ordered to march south, because we wanted to collect all the land in Huainan and thought that it was Han, and the people of Huainan thought that it was Han people, and the soldiers were the first, and the heart was the last. Fighting on the battlefield is still in military management. After this battle, the thieves were greatly intimidated by my monarchy, and the soldiers' hearts were scattered, but they could go down in one go. ”

"It is tantamount to blatantly committing this cruel act, spreading the word that will go out, damaging the name of our army, and it will arouse the will of the Huai army to resist and lose the hearts of the people of Huainan! At that time, how many soldiers will we lose in order to capture Huainan? ”

Murong Yanzhao has always shown himself to be calm and modest, and it is rare to have such a violent moment, in the face of his might, Li Chongjin and Wang Yansheng couldn't help muttering in their hearts. Li Chongjin said: "Marquis Duyu, where did the last general think about it so much, but he was also red-eyed and couldn't be contained!" Moreover, last night's attack, my brothers in the Holy Protector Army, there were many casualties, and the soldiers had hatred in their hearts, and they also needed to vent and avenge the robes! ”

"It's just a mouthful!" Murong Yanzhao reprimanded angrily: "Where is the military discipline? If it weren't for the two of you, how could you do such a great act of harming heaven and peace? ”

Wang Yansheng was a violent temper, and was reprimanded by Murong Yanzhao pointing his nose like this, and he was also angry in his heart, and stiffened his neck and said: "The person has been killed, and it is useless for Du Yu Hou to say more, the two of us are here, let it be disposed of!" ”

stared at Wang Yansheng coldly, and then looked at Li Chongjin, waved his horsewhip, and whipped two whips on the two of them: "In the lower position, I have no power to deal with the two commanders!" ”

Stiffly stabbed two whips and endured the pain, Li Chongjin still accompanied him and said to Murong Yanzhao: "Duyu Hou, the matter has come to this, how do you say to deal with the aftermath, we will listen to the order!" ”

Murong Yanzhao didn't speak, just stared at Wang Yansheng with a straight face. Under Murong Yanzhao's gaze, the unruly Wang Yansheng still opened his eyes a little weakly. Murong Yanzhao is not an outsider, he is the confidant of the Son of Heaven, and there have long been rumors in the army that within a few years, he will be listed as the commander of the two divisions.

Taking a deep breath, Murong Yanzhao looked at the thick layer of separated corpses piled up on the edge of the river, hundreds of Han soldiers, who had become executioners, hideous and terrifying.

The remaining Tang army captives were already desperate, but seeing the movement of the Han army, Murong Yanzhao's scolding of Li and Wang gave them a little hope, and a frightened and expectant gaze was cast on Murong Yanzhao's side.

Glancing around at those people, his expression showed a trace of unbearability, Murong Yanzhao raised his hand, turned around, and ordered without emotion: "Here, leave it to you and others to deal with, and the aftermath must be dealt with properly, and the people who are harmed will be killed on the battlefield." Remember, today's events, those who are present, keep their mouths shut, dare to gossip, and punish them for confusing the army! ”

"Yes!" Li Chongjin and Wang Yansheng subconsciously agreed.

Murong Yanzhao didn't say anything more, and immediately led his subordinates to go north to Cai and return to the camp.

"Han Lingkun, did you go and recruit Murong Duyu Marquis?" After Murong Yanzhao walked away, he saw Han Lingkun hiding on the side, and Wang Yansheng questioned him.

Seeing that Wang Yansheng was angry, Han Lingkun stepped forward and whispered: "Two generals, the last general is also thinking about the two of you!" ”

"Is it easy to be a bulli?" Hearing his words, Wang Yansheng said angrily, he was scolded and beaten, and he was angry in his heart, so he directly raised the whip.

Seeing this, Han Lingkun hurriedly said: "The general is angry. After all, the killing of prisoners is ominous, and if the two generals report it afterwards, the commander will probably have a hidden worry about the crime. Now that the Marquis of Yu comes first, the impact of this hidden worry will be minimized. Didn't Marquis Yu just say it, let's deal with the aftermath and kill on the battlefield......"

Hearing his words, Li Chongjin touched his shoulder, although it was through the shoulder armor, it still hurt a lot. I saw Li Chongjin stop Wang Yansheng: "What Commander Han said is also reasonable. The point is, how to deal with the aftermath? ”

Wang Yansheng finally calmed down, looked at the remaining captives, and a fierce look flashed on his face: "It's all come to this point, what else can I do, kill them all." ”

"Then how do you explain to the Marquis of Duyu?" Li Chongjin pointed to the north.

At this time, Han Lingkun hugged his fists and said: "These people are alive, and they will not be grateful, they will only hate our army even more, and they will definitely preach that our army is not in the future, and they cannot be kept." Before Murong Duyu Marquis left, although he didn't say it explicitly, it seemed that the last general also meant this! ”

"Han Lingkun, you kid, you just have a lot of thoughts!" Hearing his words, Wang Yansheng immediately glanced at Han Lingkun twice, randomly became serious, and stared at him: "In this case, the rest of the people will be handed over to you to dispose of!" Du Yuhou's order, take care of the aftermath! ”

Hearing the order, Han Lingkun frowned slightly, but he didn't push it, and said, "Yes!" ”

Walking to the front with a solemn expression, Han Lingkun glanced at those poor people, sighed heavily, waved his hand, and said to the Holy Protector sergeant: "Listen to the order!" Kill these scheming and stubborn thieves who resist the power of heaven! ”

The three words "all beheaded" spit out from Han Lingkun's mouth, which was a little light, but after this order, another killing was added to the edge of the river.

Han Lingkun led people, cleaned up the aftermath, and burned the corpses, but the crimes caused by the war on the edge of this ancient water were a fire that could not be burned all......

The killing of prisoners can be completely concealed, but the Han generals, as the victors, have the opportunity to rewrite the historical record......

Li Chongjin and Wang Yansheng beckoned their subordinates, escorted the capture, escorted the wounded, and returned to Cai Daying in Rongbei.

After last night's cooperation, bloody battles, slashing and breaking the formation, and the friendship of killing prisoners this morning, the relationship between Li Chongjin and Wang Yansheng is much closer. Li Chongjin admired his bravery and fierceness, and Wang Yansheng praised his ability as a general.

"Brother Wang, looking at the performance of Marquis Yu, I'm afraid that this matter will not be so easy to end!" Riding on the horse, Li Chongjin couldn't help but say, it seemed that he was a little weak-hearted.

Wang Yansheng waved his hand and said: "We are all meritorious people, how can Du Shuai blame the generals of a hundred battles for this?" Otherwise, how can the military be at peace? Even if it reaches the ears of His Majesty, how can he bear to blame us? ”

"Why don't you just kill some people! On the battlefield, how can there be any immortals, the 50,000 or 60,000 thieves, after being driven and killed like last night, how many people are alive? That's less than 3,000 people, what is it! After sweeping Li Chongjin's eyes, Wang Yansheng shrugged his shoulders: "Brother Li, I'm not afraid, why are you worried?" No matter how bad it is, you still have Guo Shuxiang in the middle of the court......"

Listening to Wang Yansheng's words, Li Chongjin echoed in his mouth, but he was faintly worried in his heart, Murong Yanzhao's attitude made him inevitably hesitate. And it is because of the existence of Guo Wei that he is worried, for his uncle, Li Chongjin is both respectful and afraid, if he commits a crime, he will never do anything to cover him up, at least on the surface.

At this moment, Li Chongjin inevitably regretted a little, why was he hot-headed and accompanied Wang Yansheng to kill the prisoner......

The Xia Cai camp of the Northern Han army was already jubilant, rumbling, and even a little chaotic. However, under the commander's order, the generals at all levels, the rectification meeting, and the scribes of each battalion, rushed in the meantime, and several years of military discipline training made the Han army well-trained enough to be chaotic.

In the handsome tent, the commanders of the armies reported successes one after another, singing and winning, Wang Jun was always as steady as Mount Tai, indifferent.

"Du Shuai, according to rough statistics, in the battle of Xia Cai, our army beheaded at least 17,000 thieves, captured less than 4,000, and the rest froze to death and drowned, it is difficult to count, except for Zhang Quanyue's army from Luzhou, who fled quickly, gathered a group of defeated soldiers and retreated to Shouchun, and the Tang army was almost wiped out. Even if there are fish that slip through the net, there are not many, and the combat power does not exist! With a smile on his face, Master Shen said hello to Wang Jun.

"Not bad!" Wang Jun nodded, and that's all he could do.

Before long, Shi Yanchao returned to the camp with a team of cavalry, and the Han cavalry was almost scattered in the end, and each pursued and made meritorious contributions.

Directly went to the commander's tent to ask for a meeting, and happily dedicated a head to Wang Jun: "Du Shuai, this is Liu Yanzhen, the commander of the Huai thief, when he was defeated, he was crazy and fled east for nearly a hundred miles, and the last general also chased him for a hundred miles, and finally beheaded him and his own soldiers under the horse!" Hold on to its head to dedicate! ”

Hearing this, Wang Jun really became interested and stood up directly. This time, there was no need for Wang Jun to hint at it, and several generals and colonels in the camp quickly got up to accompany them. After a big victory in the first battle, Wang Jun was even more powerful, and ordinary generals almost didn't dare to look up at him.

Liu Yanzhen's head was still on the ground, Wang Jun poked his feet and casually flicked his bloody head a few times, Wang Jun laughed: "This is Liu Yanzhen?" It's very ordinary! How majestic and heroic I think he is, I can make Li Jing's old man put such a large army into his hands! ”

Listening to Wang Jun's words, a commander in the camp immediately patted his ass: "When the Huai thief went north, how arrogant was this Liu Yanzhen, and Li Jing Lao'er was also blind, and he paid it with tens of thousands of elites, and Du Shuai made a little trick to make it go up in smoke, in this world, who still has the ability to be handsome?" ”

Although he knew that this was a compliment, Wang Jun was still comfortable listening to it, stroked his beard, smiled, pointed to Liu Yanzhen's head, and ordered the colonel in front of the camp: "Go, pass the head of Liu Thief to the army!" ”

When Wang Jun was immersed in the praise of the tent, Murong Yanzhao walked in and quieted down. When the generals retreated, Murong Yanzhao told Wang Jun about Wang Yansheng and Li Chongjin's killing of prisoners.

Hearing this, Wang Jun's attitude made Murong Yanzhao's heart cold for a while, only to see Wang Jun waving his hand, and said indifferently: "I know about this matter." It is nothing more than some prisoners, and the original intention is to kill and injure the Huai thieves and weaken their national strength. Although the two of them acted excessively, they did not hide it, and yesterday they attacked and killed, and the Holy Protector Army bore the first responsibility. Moreover, now that it is a cold winter, the weather will only get colder and colder, and the army is in the south, and it is inconvenient to transport the grain and straw, and too many prisoners will increase our food consumption......"

"In this way, it will arouse Huaimin's heart of resistance!"

"If you don't let them know the strength of our army and don't let the Huai people fear, how can they easily surrender?"

Seeing Wang Jun's reaction, Murong Yanzhao sighed and arched his hand: "Du Shuai has made a decision, and the last general has nothing to say!" ”

Before dark, Wang Jun received a battle report from the vortex, and learned that Zhao Kuangyin designed to defeat the Tang army in Haozhou and solve the threat of the Tang army's sailors in the lower reaches of Huaishui in a battle, Wang Jun only sighed: I never thought that Zhao Kuangyin would have this ability!

However, Wang Jun quickly expressed his anger and dissatisfaction with the victory of the vortex!
