Chapter 159. Massacre of captives?

This battle swept away the haze over the Central Plains, 100,000 soldiers! 300,000 troops! Yuan Shao's nearly ten years of accumulation went bankrupt! Although it may not be that Xu Du will surpass Yecheng in one fell swoop, at least the two sides are on the same starting line.

And when Yuan Shao was in his heyday, Cao Cao was not afraid of him, let alone that he was beaten like this bird, and the dawn of victory had faintly bloomed a charming edge in the sky above Xu Du.

It's just that after returning to the Chinese army, Cao Cao still has some regrets, after all, Yuan Shao is the biggest weakness of the four states of Hebei, kill him, the land of the four states will no longer be in one place, and it will be much easier to break each one.

"Wang Tuqiu, as the general of the Guandu infantry, Yuan thief broke away, why didn't you send troops to chase and kill?"

"Back to ......, back to my father! Your order to your son-in-law is to stick to the Guandu camp and wait for your triumphant return, but you didn't ......, and you didn't let me chase it! ”

"Fart! Yuan thieves are defeated, as long as there are even 5,000 more men and horses! He can't even run, you can't understand such a little military common sense? Lao Tzu whipped you deflated turtle son to death! ”

It's really pumping! After a click, the angry Cao Cao threw down his shoes in a daze, and Wang Hou jumped on one leg with a sad urge, and jumped to the side sadly.

However, looking at this scene, Jia Xu, who was squatting behind him, lowered his head slightly and twitched the corners of his mouth happily.

It seems that Cao Cao, the lord, has a true temperament, which is really true! And Wang Hou, but he is more smart and sleek than he imagined, yesterday Wang Hou finally visited him by talking and counting, and invited him to drink, he gave Wang Hou an idea, Cao always didn't catch Yuan Shao, he must be angry when he comes back, when the time comes, you will ask for guilt, the army invaded Yuan Shao's camp, the sergeants were scattered, busy looting, and could not pursue, in this way, nominally asking for guilt, in fact, the blame lies on the generals of all roads, after all, Wang Hou, the airborne commander, can't control the small soldiers below, Cao Cao also understands in his heart.

Here Wang Hou gave him a surprise again, he didn't bother to use the generals, and his relationship with Cao Cao made Jia Xu's eyes shine, don't look at it, there are so many generals and civil officials who are embarrassed! But if it weren't for a close minister, Cao Cao wouldn't have been able to make him angry in this way.

But just when Jia Xu was laughing secretly, Leng Buding Wang Hou gave him a big surprise again, picked up Cao Cao's shoes stupidly, carefully sent them back from the bottom, and hugged his fists again, Wang Hou is serious report.

"Father, failing to kill Yuan Shao is actually a good thing for my Han court!"

"Oh? Is it a good thing that the thief ran away? This time, if you don't say that you are ugly, you will be killed! ”

Smoke Lao Tzu to death and make your daughter widowed?

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Wang Hou hugged his fist with sadness: "Father, after all, the Yuan family is the fourth and third dukes, although there is a traitor like Yuan Highway, who has ruined the reputation of the Yuan family, but after all, Yuan Shao is still popular in Hebei, once our army kills Yuan Shao, the ministers of Hebei should take the prime minister as their enemy, and attack Hebei in the future, it will be difficult to score three points!" And after all, Yuan Gong used to be a friend of the prime minister, and killing his friend is not too good for the reputation of the prime minister! ”

"And after this defeat! Yuan Shao was already so angry that he vomited blood, and under the internal and external troubles, Yuan Gong estimated that there were no years to live! ”

"Yuan Shao vomited blood!"

This news made Cao Cao stunned for a moment, and then he was a little silent, and after a while, he came out of his emotions and stood up with a flick of his wide sleeves.

"What you came up with?"

"Back to Father, when I was drinking with Mr. Jia Xu Jia yesterday, my son-in-law asked Mr. Jia for advice!"

Full of smiles, Wang Hou turned his head and bared his teeth, but looking at Cao Cao's admiring gaze, Jia Xu was bitter, in the history of the Three Kingdoms, he was the first person who could pretend to be a grandson, and he survived the three dynasties of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Cao Wei, and finally survived Sima Yi's usurpation of Wei, and also climbed to the position of one of the three princes.

But Wang Hou slapped him as the king of Taiyuan, and what made him even more depressed was that when he drank yesterday, he really gave Wang Hou this trick and explained what Yuan Shao had escaped, and he didn't mention it in a big word.

Let Wang Hou this kid get the trick!

Fortunately, just a glance at him, Cao Cao immediately pulled the matter back to the topic, his eyes were sharp, his face was red, and he asked excitedly to the ministers below.

"Yuan thief was defeated in this battle, what do you think our army should do next?"

"Of course, it's a chase for victory! Prime Minister, our army has won a big victory, the edge is extremely sharp, the whole army of Yuan Thief has been defeated, there is no strong army in the north and south of the Yellow River, if you don't capture Jizhou at this time, when will you wait? ”

Without thinking about it, Xiahou Yuan, who had always been the main battle, jumped out again, and bowed his hand excitedly and hurriedly, but before he finished speaking, Xiahou Yuan on the other side shouted in shock.

"Didn't our army's rations be burned by the Prime Minister's order? How to march without military rations? ”

"Wang Tu begs that old boy to burn military rations? He was so stingy that he couldn't wait for oil to be squeezed out of the stones, and his appearance asked him to burn the military rations, just knowing that this kid couldn't burn it! ”

However, as soon as he mentioned this, Cao Cao was annoyed and skimmed off his shoes again, and roared angrily.

"Let you be subject to the big camp, and you will guard the big camp! Let you burn military rations, why don't you kid disobey orders! The old man will beat you to death! ”

There was another sole on his thigh, Wang Hou felt bitter! It's really called a companion like a tiger! Fortunately, he really didn't burn it, if he really burned the military rations, I don't know if Cao Cao would really stage a stupid son-in-law for him in court!

But the problem of military rations is not a problem, but Xun Yu, who has been silent, finally spoke.

"Prime Minister, the old minister thinks that now is not the time to enter Jizhou! On the one hand, although the whole army of Yuan's army was scattered, and our division also fought for a year, the veteran generals of the division were tired, and it was inevitable that the army would be discouraged if they went on an expedition again! ”

"Besides, in our army, there are still 80,000 prisoners of the Hebei Yuan Army, if these people are not dealt with well, it will be a trouble after all!"

"It's just a captive, just kill it! But if he doesn't march now, Yuan Shao has the land of four states after all, and he is waiting for it to recover! It's hard to fight again! ”

Xiahou Yuan didn't give up, and shouted impatiently, but his words just reflected Cao Cao's own unwillingness, yes! finally defeated Yuan Shao's main army, and now he has few major generals in his hands, and the opportunity is rare!

Watching Cao Cao lower his head and ponder, Wang Hou's heart couldn't help but rise, after the Battle of Guandu in history, Cao Cao carried out a massacre, killing more than 80,000 prisoners, and this massacre with Xuzhou became two black spots that he could not erase in his life.

Wang Hou was not present at the massacre in Xuzhou, but this time, is the bloody massacre about to show in front of him?

Fortunately, after thinking for two or three seconds in Wang Hou's shortness of breath, Cao Cao finally shook his head.

"Killing prisoners is ominous! As a last resort! Tuqiu this kid has said that if he kills Yuan Shao, how many people in Youzhou will hate his true appearance, not to mention 80,000 captives? Yuan Benchu was at the end of his rope, he was not the opponent of his true appearance, he could be killed at any time! The prime minister decided that the class teacher would return to the dynasty and give the soldiers some time to rest! Fight again next year! ”

"Prime Minister Rende!"

The opinion was adopted, Xun Yu hurriedly slapped it over, and on the other hand, Wang Hou himself was also relieved, killing 80,000 prisoners, and killing all the prisoners who are now locked up in Zhongmu County, that is really the scene of the sea of corpses and blood, he really can't imagine it!

In fact, Cao Cao's benevolence actually comes from Wang Hou's efforts, why did Cao Cao kill the captives in the Guandu War in history? 80,000 people are from the elite troops started by Yuan Shao, with extremely strong combat effectiveness, and the loyalty is not low.

Can you raise? Can't live! In history, Cao Cao attacked Wuchao and took double the risk to fight Yuan Shao, one of which was because the military rations could not be provided, and his own people were still not full, how to feed these more than 80,000 people? Without food, more than 80,000 captives will not starve to death, and sooner or later a mass riot will break out!

In Cao Cao's position, he had no choice but to kill! After all, what he wants to protect is Yanzhou Yuzhou's loyal people!

The population is precious in all dynasties, in order to expand the household registration, Sun Quan also sent the general Wei Wen to conquer Yizhou, that is, Taiwan in the future, this time, there are more than 400,000 stone grain on hand, more than 80,000 prime-age labor, Cao Cao is of course reluctant to kill!

However, after vetoing Xiahou Yuan's proposal to kill the prisoner, Cao Cao kicked the ball to Xun Yulai, who made the opinion, lowered his head slightly, and asked very respectfully.

"Xun Lingzhong, according to your opinion, how should these Yuan army prisoners be disposed of?"

"Prime Minister, the prisoners of the rear army have always been managed by Wang Envoy, and Wang Envoy must have a good way!"

Xun Yu is also a master passer, one didn't pay attention, the ball was kicked back under Wang Hou's feet, looking at Cao Cao's big eyes and glaring again, Wang Hou couldn't help but feel bitter.
