Chapter 285: Crusade
"How to deal with the Japanese slaves?"
Huo Quzhi said disdainfully: "Didn't Master Hou say that for the Japanese slaves, it is best for us to capture them alive rather than annihilate them." ”
"So, let's just capture it alive!"
Tang Qi reminded: "Don't look at the short size of the Japanese slaves, but they are all powerful, and it is not so simple to capture them alive." ”
"Now we are able to capture the Japanese slaves alive because there are very few Japanese slaves on Pirate Island, but the island we are about to do is said to have more than a thousand Japanese slaves."
Su Jian interjected: "I have 80,000 sailors, and I have a natural advantage over thousands of slaves, as long as it is beneficial to my Han, I can still be captured alive!" ”
"Although it is true that there is a numerical advantage, the Japanese slaves are not vegetarians, they will not be tied up like pirates, but will resist stubbornly! At that time, the loss of my Han sailor will definitely not be less. ”
Su Jiandao: "If we can capture those thousands of Japanese slaves alive, even if there are some casualties on our side, we can still bear it." ”
"Yes, Lord Hou, people will definitely die in battle."
Huo Quzhi added: "We almost didn't suffer any casualties in this attack on Pirate Island, and it is only appropriate to use it on the Japanese slaves." ”
There seems to be nothing wrong with the thoughts of these two people.
It is almost a well-known fact that people die in war.
Don't talk about them, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty think so.
Including those big Han sailors who went to the battlefield in person, they have long been mentally prepared in their hearts.
Let them die on the battlefield, that is the easiest thing to do.
Generally speaking, as long as the casualties were not particularly serious, even Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty would not say anything.
Even if you are killed and wounded, as long as you can win the final victory of the war, no one will criticize you, but will praise you for your bravery.
Human life, in this era, is the least valuable after all.
As long as it can open up territory for the Han Dynasty, it can be regarded as a well-deserved death.
However, Tang Qi was obviously extremely dissatisfied with the answers they gave.
In war, there will definitely be deaths.
However, human life is also priceless.
It would be great if we could reduce the losses and save the lives of the soldiers as much as possible.
Otherwise, Tang Qi would not have made it so complicated to go to Pirate Island this time, as if at the beginning of his landing, he only needed to rely on the advantage of 80,000 sailors to rush directly to the island.
Why do you need to find ways to make a divisive scheme?
Every Han sailor is a living person.
At the same time, they also represent a complete family behind them, they are not only the children of their parents, but also the pillars of the family, husbands and fathers.
He took them out to fight, and when he returned, he brought a large number of corpses, leaving behind a large number of orphans and widows.
This is something that Tang Qi can't bear.
Therefore, what he hopes to see is not only the victory of the battle, but at the same time, since he has brought them out, he also hopes to be able to bring these people back alive.
"Do you have any other ideas?"
Tang Qi asked again.
Huo Quzhi and Su Jian looked at Tang Qi in confusion.
"Master Hou, isn't the idea just now?"
"Hehe, not only is it wrong, but it's also very wrong, there is obviously a better way, why let the soldiers sacrifice for no reason?"
Tang Qi shook his head.
Huo Quzhi sighed: "Then I don't know what else Master Hou thinks?" ”
"It's simple......"
Tang Qi explained lightly: "I plan to send a group of pirates over first, those Japanese slaves, anyway, they also know the pirates, when the time comes, go to the island first, and then wait for the evening, and then join forces inside and outside, and kill the island where the Japanese slaves are located in one fell swoop." ”
"Catch him off guard!"
"As long as we can sneak into the island perfectly, then the army will be like entering a no-man's land, and 80,000 sailors are not something that a small slave can deal with."
"How can the inside and the outside be combined?"
Huo Quzhi subconsciously asked: "Once the pirates make a noise, the Japanese slaves will still rise up to resist...... It doesn't make sense at all. ”
"Who says it doesn't make sense?"
Tang Qi's eyes flashed: "The Japanese slaves are also human beings, they want to drink water and eat, so we can use the sweat medicine to directly poison all those Japanese slaves!" ”
"With sweat medicine?"
Huo Quzhi's eyes lit up at the same time as Su Jian, he deserved to be a stable marquis, his head was relatively lively, and when dealing with the Japanese slaves, he even thought of the sweat medicine.
I have to say, this is indeed a clever idea.
"But those pirates, will they follow our orders?"
"If the pirates join up with the Japanese slaves and turn against each other, not only will we not get the slightest benefit, but we will also expose the plan early and make them have some precautions."
"At that time, the plan could have failed before it could even begin."
Tang Qi nodded slightly.
Huo Quai's worries are not unreasonable.
To be honest, he was also a little apprehensive when he came up with this plan.
However, he now has people available to him......
"Have you forgotten Sun He?"
Tang Qi smiled slightly.
"Sun He?"
Huo Quai's eyes lit up when he heard this: "If it's him, it's indeed possible." ”
This attack on Pirate Island, Sun He can be said to have made a great contribution.
If it weren't for the fact that he should cooperate inside and outside, the casualties on the side of the Great Han Sailor would not have been so low.
And Sun He also proved with practical actions that he is a manufacturable material, and at the same time, he also wants to submit to the Han from the bottom of his heart.
It was only fitting to send him to find those slaves.
"But is Sun He willing?"
Su Jian asked worriedly: "If you enter the wolf's den first, and then enter the tiger pit, I'm afraid ordinary people won't be willing, right?" ”
"Hehe, he's a pirate, we sent him over, does he dare?"
Huo Quzhi sneered: "It's against him." ”
Su Jian rolled his eyes: "Now we have a request for help, to use his power to poison the Japanese slaves, if you use force, or threaten, others will sincerely do things for you?" ”
Huo Quzhi couldn't help but be stunned.
Tang Qi glanced at Su Jian with great satisfaction: "What General Su said is what Ben Hou is worried about, so we have to convince people with virtue!" ”
"How can you be considered to convince people with virtue?"
"It's easy."
Tang Qi waved his hand: "Huo Quai, you go and call Sun He to me, I will teach you, what is called to convince people with virtue!" ”
"Okay......"
Huo Quzhi blinked, still extremely puzzled in his heart.
He does not yet have a complete concept of what it means to convince people with virtue.
But it didn't matter, he quickly followed Tang Qi's order and called Sun He over.
