Atami was killed in battle.

This method of death is the most heroic, and it is also the most praised throughout the ages.

Of course, this requires a relatively high degree of the nature of war, and it is the most commendable thing to die in a just war that has a bearing on the life and death of the country and the nation.

From the point of view of the little Kunmi tribe, Attami is undoubtedly heroic, as he is fighting for everyone's survival.

But from the perspective of the Western Regions United Army, Atami is a typical example of not shedding tears when he sees the coffin, and the battle of trapped beasts.

They were very annoyed by Attami's resistance, because Atami's resistance had caused them great losses, and such losses were not acceptable to them.

So when Attami's resistance was ended, his men were greeted by a killing spree.

The old, weak, sick and disabled have lost their protectors, and it is still very difficult to protect themselves, and in the face of those red-eyed Western Regions United Forces, they have no strength to fight back.

Isn't the so-called spoils of war these old, weak, sick and disabled people and the property they own?

Their cattle and sheep, their tents, their daily necessities, their wealth, including themselves.

Isn't that what Cao Xiu promised to the countries of the Western Regions?

Therefore, Cao Xiu restrained the Wei army group, let the Wei army line up, did not participate in this tragic massacre, and then watched all this happen coldly, and did not interfere with the behavior of the armies of the Western Regions.

Cao Xiu heard Guo Peng talk about what happened when Guo Peng put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion under Lu Zhi.

After the soldiers defeated the Yellow Turbans and won the victory, they carried out inhumane looting and massacre of the Yellow Turban families, and many more Yellow Turban families died there than the Yellow Turbans.

The reason is also very simple, because the definition of these family members themselves is booty, and it is no different from the property they own.

The army at that time and the current Wei army have undergone earth-shaking changes.

At that time, the soldiers could not read, and no concept existed for them.

The generals and soldiers of the Wei army living in the present have received more than ten years of high-intensity discipline and cultural education, and under the influence of the concept of "state" and "nation" constantly instilled by Guo Peng, they gradually have a clear sense of the state and the nation.

They began to develop a different perception of internal and external warfare, and realized the difference between civil and external wars.

Before Guo Peng established the Wei army, such a concept did not exist, and before Cao Xiu entered the Wei army to receive education, he did not know the existence of such a concept.

The formation of the concept of Han people has gone through a very long process.

At least in the Han and Han dynasties, because of the extreme backwardness of transportation and the blockage of information, the formation of a political pattern with counties as the country, for the people at the bottom, people from different counties were like people from different countries.

Most people's group identity is mainly reflected at the county level, not the state, let alone the Han state.

They called Taishou the king of the house, the king of a house, and when he entered the government, he had to be honored as the king, thus affecting the political pattern of a county.

If you are not from the same county, you are not your own people, and if you are not your own people, it will be like a foreign war.

Whether it is to fight for life or death, to loot women and children, or to set fire to and slaughter, there is no sense of guilt.

Troops were requisitioned from different regions to fight rebels in another area, burned and looted on the spot, and then sent home in one go.

Take the battle between Han and Qiang as an example, for the high-level elites of that period, the difference between Han and Qiang is of course more obvious.

But for the people at the bottom, the battle between Han and Qiang was not much different from the civil war between the two different counties, and the result was the same.

After the end of the war, whether you should burn and loot or burn and loot will not be treated differently because you are Han or Qiang.

This situation has changed in the process of Guo Peng's gradual sweep of the world.

At the beginning of the establishment of the army, Guo Peng imposed strict discipline on the army and promoted the status of military law to an infinitely high level.

For soldiers, military law is everything, and it is not the senior officers who deal with them, but the military law, and the interpreters and enforcers of military law.

Senior officers, on the contrary, did not have the power to punish soldiers in non-war times.

Senior officers can punish subordinates who disobey orders only in wartime because they have been given full leadership.

The most important thing for Wei army recruits to enlist in the army is not military training, but the study of military law, and in order to better learn military law, literacy is a must.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Wei army generally knew a lot of words, and the first two words they knew were the two words of the country.

Through the process of teaching by military judges, the soldiers were instilled with the concept of the state, so that they knew what the country was, what was home, what was their own people, and what was the enemy.

Everyone is a Chinese person, and they are all their own people, and we should not distinguish between friend and foe based on our hometown.

No matter which state, county, or county you were born in, those who speak Chinese and recognize Chinese characters are all our own people and Chinese people.

Since they are all Chinese people, they must be treated differently, and when attacking the Chinese people who are ruled by the enemy, they must be restrained, and they must not burn, kill, and loot at will, and they must not bully the weak, or bully women, children, and the elderly.

Because they are all Chinese, the soldiers of the Wei Army were also Chinese before they became soldiers, and they came from Chinese people, so naturally they can't bully Chinese people, if you bully other people's families, will people not bully your family?

The country is the family, the family is the country, the family and the country are one, no one should bully anyone, no one should discriminate against anyone.

Therefore, you can't burn, kill, and loot, and if you do it, you will fight in the nest, and it will be a mistake, and it will be a great sin, and you must be punished.

Binding this cognition with military law, through the strict implementation of military law and unsympathetic face, Guo Peng made the Wei army group the first group of people to have the vision of the Chinese people in the entire Chinese group.

The Wei army group was the first to look at the whole Chinese people from the perspective of the Chinese people.

Therefore, the later the Wei army marched and conquered, the more attention was paid to military discipline, and the more attention was paid to distinguishing between combatants and ordinary Li Shu.

If not to mention all, at least the proportion is constantly increasing, and the mental outlook of the whole army is also slightly different.

In this way, on the way to the march, the Wei army was also relatively easy to gain the favor and recognition of the people in the occupied areas.

After Guo Peng ascended the throne as emperor and replaced the Han Empire to establish the Wei Empire, the goal of war gradually shifted from domestic to foreign, and the concept of Chinese people was further consolidated and established among the Wei army.

From top to bottom, the Wei army group never had doubts or opposition to such a concept, including the commander-in-chief generals.

The recruits don't understand and are very confused, but in such a group atmosphere, it is still easy to have such understanding.

Guo has no way to educate the people of the whole country, he doesn't have the money.

However, it is not difficult for the hundreds of thousands of Wei soldiers to educate them in this area, and to instill in them the concept of the state and the nation while eradicating illiteracy, so that they can have such concepts.

His efforts over the past ten years have not been in vain, and he has been given an army that is well-disciplined and generally self-disciplined.

Cao Xiu is naturally one of them.

Cao Xiu was very close to Guo Peng, and he understood more clearly what a country was, what a nation was, and what soldiers should pay attention to when marching and fighting.

He was full of hatred for the warlords who plundered and killed wantonly in the troubled times of the former Han Dynasty, believing that they were not civilized people at all, and could not even be regarded as a human being.

So when Cao Xiu watched Xin Limi and his subordinates chase down and kill those Xiao Kunmi leaders who were running around, he felt very incredible and incomprehensible.

In this moment, he felt the difference between civilization and barbarism.

Barbarian, sure enough, barbarian.

Little Kunmi and the resistance army have been defeated, these people are all Wusun people, who have lost their rule and leadership, have lost their force, and are already harmless.

Wouldn't it help you to stop killing, bring them under your rule, let them produce, pay taxes, and have offspring to increase the population?

I may not say yes, but why don't you come and ask me?

As a result, he didn't even ask for it, and directly chased and killed at the front.

Cao Xiu could only shake his head helplessly.

It feels like some of their own small calculations are weak in the face of their savagery.

The line between civilization and barbarism had never been so clear in Cao Xiu's heart.

At the same time, he also deeply realized how meaningful the education prevailed in the Wei army.

If it weren't for the existence of this kind of education, at this moment, the Wei soldiers under his command would definitely not be what they are now.

It will definitely be the same as twenty or thirty years ago, this group of people from the Western Regions are fighting, killing, and revealing their ugliness.
