Chapter 400: Proof of Identity
Shangguan Yinling was looking at the defense map and the terrain map very intently, but the guard at the door suddenly walked in.
"General, Captain Lu and Captain Duan ask to see you."
Shangguan Yuling raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Didn't the two of them go to survey the population, why did they come back so soon?"
"Captain Lu, Captain Duan, seems to have brought two people, and I heard them say that they were captured by Hu."
"Let them in."
Shangguan Yinling put away the city defense map and topographic map and made it in front of the table.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Li and Duan Lang opened the curtain of the big tent, and the two soldiers behind them, one escorting a Hu man to work hard, followed them and walked in.
"Captain Lu, what's the matter with Captain Duan?"
"General Hui, when I was surveying the population in the city with Captain Duan today, I inadvertently captured two Hu people."
"These two Hu people seem to have lived in Xincheng for a long time, and they are very familiar with the official dialect of Xincheng, but unfortunately, they don't know the dialect around here."
Listening to the two of them say that they caught the process of the fine work, Shangguan Yuling looked up at the two captives behind them.
In fact, if you look closely, it is easy to distinguish the difference between the Hu people and the people of their Liang Dynasty.
Let's just say that this woman's facial features are more distinct than the facial features of their women in the Liang Dynasty, her eyes are also deeper, her eyebrow bones are convex, and her complexion is also slightly wheat complexion.
"When did you two enter the new city?"
The two of them had a very tacit understanding not to overdo it, and they both chose not to say a word.
Hu people are different from others, they are stubborn by nature, they are really the kind that eight cows can't pull back, once they decide something, the sky will fall and it will be done, not to mention that they lurked into the city and were caught by them, in order to protect the other people in the city, and for their excessively strong sense of honor and self-esteem, when questioning, Shangguan Yuling already knew that the two of them would react like this.
"When did you enter the city?" The sauce made by Nanxi next to him was pressed and pushed him impatiently.
However, the two of them remained motionless and did not say a word.
"That's it, take them down, and take care of them."
They were destined to get no useful information from their mouths, and they could not be sent back to the Hu tribe, so they could only be imprisoned in the military camp first, and then sent back to their tribe after the war with the Hu people was over.
"General, these two people are Hu people who went into the city to burn and loot all kinds of evil, why do we have to eat and drink well if we also arrest him and don't kill them immediately?"
The two soldiers couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
But in their eyes, Hu people are extremely sinful and difficult to forgive. Therefore, the Hu people did not really set fire to kill people, but they also disturbed their lives unspeakably.
And weren't all the flowery girls taken captive by them?
finally caught two Hu captives, how could you eliminate the hatred in their hearts if they didn't torture and torture them well.
"Do you two remember that there is a rule in military law that favors prisoners?" Shangguan Yinling raised his eyes and said, "So things in this world pay attention to retribution, but if we treat human life as a mustard like the Hu people, what is the difference between us and those robbers and Hu people?" Everyone entered the escort army to protect their hometown and relatives, not to kill the Hu people. ”
Several soldiers were speechless when Shangguan Yinling said it, and several people lowered their heads a little hesitantly.
"Yes, General, we know that we are wrong, so we will take them down and wait for them to eat and drink."
The two of them took the two Hu people down, and the brother and sister both looked back at Shangguan Yinling in unison.
It was the first time they had heard that these people who hated them to the bone had this kind of evaluation of them.
They have lived in the city for these days, and the words they have heard the most in their ears are the hatred and resentment of the people of the Great Liang Dynasty against them, and every time they hear them in their ears are the scolding and curses they grit their teeth, but I didn't expect to hear a Great Liang person say such things today.
I don't know if this is the difference between their tribe and the Great Liang Dynasty.
"General, then we arrested these two Hu people for detail, did we arrest them in vain?"
Caught two fine works, didn't ask anything, didn't say anything, and took them with them with good food and drink, originally the grain and grass of the new city guards were not very much, and now they have to take care of these two fine works.
These two fine works should be very happy now, they don't have to do anything, there are people who eat and drink every day.
"Not exactly, after all, you can be considered to have broken one of their lines of contact in the city."
It seems that the Hu tribe is not all barbaric and rough people who only know how to rob, they will be similar to the Liang Dynasty people look similar to the people scattered all over the city, one night can use the city's trade means to earn some small money, and second, you can also inquire about the news in the city, once the news is well-informed, others who want to enter the city outside the city to grab some things will also know how to enter the city more conveniently, which family to rob the most money.
It can be seen that these robbers have also worked hard.
If they put all these thoughts into doing the right thing. Presumably, it will not gradually decline after so many years.
"General, or I'll have someone secretly release the two of them, and then secretly follow them to see if they contact anyone else."
It's just that they started too early, and they didn't hurry to arrest people after they knew that they were Hu people.
It is much better to keep them with a long line to catch big fish than to catch them back in the barracks for rice.
"There's no urgency in this matter, you two can go and handle the census matter first, and then I have more important tasks for you."
After the two fine workers were settled, the two returned to the city and finished dealing with the last few households, and then carried out the task assigned to them by Shangguan Yin Lingxin.
The two of them first went to the cloth village in the city to buy a few dirt-resistant gray cloths, and then resisted all these fabrics back to the barracks, and called a few delicate soldiers to cut the cloth into squares of the same size.
"Why does General Shangguan use these cloths?"
The soldiers still didn't understand Shangguan Yuling's intentions at this moment.
"The general is going to make an identity certificate for every citizen in the city."
That is, a simple local people's card.
With this certificate, as long as the local people present the certificate when they enter and exit the city gate, and the verification is successful, they can enter and exit the city gate.
