Chapter 51: Three Conditions
About a quarter of an hour before and after, more than a thousand Yellow Turban Bandit soldiers were disarmed as prisoners, squatting with their heads in their hands. There were too many people, and it was impossible for Liu Tao to bring a lot of ropes with the army, so he could only deal with it like this first.
"I don't know what's going on over there in Yide...... Guan Yu dismounted and looked ahead, which was the direction of Xu Ting.
"What he has to face is only a thousand Yellow Turban Thief auxiliaries who are not prepared, maybe many of them are still villagers, and they have no combat effectiveness, even if there are only seventy people, it is not a big problem." Lu Yan replied when he heard this.
The three thousand Yellow Turban soldiers were actually eaten like this, and it was a bit of a trance to think about it. The wounded soldiers have already thrown Liu Tao a 'vitality regeneration' past, and only 21 mana points have been removed, which shows that in this ambush battle, Liu Tao has 2,000 people in his headquarters, and not many people are seriously injured.
Of course, for the dead part, the vitality regeneration and healing techniques will not be effective. The baggage soldiers have not officially been on the battlefield in the end, and there will still be deaths.
"The statistics are out......," Jian Yong walked slowly, "One hundred and thirty-seven people were killed, including twenty-three soldiers." ”
"Doesn't that mean a big win!?" Lu Yan said excitedly.
"But we can't hope that Zhuo County will give us additional troops!" Jian Yong shook his head, "A few more times such a 'big victory', not to mention whether we still have the strength to fight, just how to transport these baggage is a problem." ”
"This ......" Lu Yan also realized that he was a little proud.
"Hey, hey! Didn't I say that before? Fight for war! Liu Tao was suddenly proud, and pointed to the captives, "Nearly a thousand captives, remove those who have evil deeds, and the others will be co-opted!" ”
After speaking, he immediately came to the group of captives and shouted: "I don't need to say that you also know that your current identity is a thief. But I also believe that some of you are coerced and have no choice but to become thieves. ”
Hearing this, many prisoners were stunned for a moment, what did this Han army general mean......
"I'm going to give you a chance!" Liu Tao went straight to the point, "As long as the three conditions are met, I will take you in, become my baggage soldiers, and go to war with the army." If you're lucky, you'll not only be able to get rid of your identity as a thief, but you'll also be able to make a difference. ”
"General, what are the conditions, you just say it!" Someone in the Yellow Turban Thief suddenly shouted, causing others to echo him.
"First, although you are forced to be thieves, I don't want to kill innocents indiscriminately, commit adultery and plunder unless you are ordered by the military. I think you should have no problem with that! Liu Tao said with a smile.
"Nope!" More than half of the captives shouted, and the remaining half of the faces were not very good-looking.
"Just responded to my stand up!" Liu Tao immediately shouted, but he didn't want everyone to stand up.
"Brother, in this case, everyone will stand up, right?" Lu Yan came to him and whispered.
"Second, I like soldiers who are willing to obey any order. If you want to join me, you have to do that, right? Do you have any comments?! Liu Tao smiled and continued.
"Nope!" This time, all the staff replied at the same time.
"Then I'm going to test it!" Liu Tao suddenly showed his fangs, "I need you, report it, among you, you don't meet the first condition!" ”
"I see, that's ......" Lu Yan suddenly realized when he heard this, Liu Tao's first condition was just to confirm how many innocent people were, and then according to this basis, a second round of screening was conducted.
If the number is too small, then it means that there are almost no innocents in this army, then it is nonsense to say more. On the other hand, if more than half of the current number of people is now, then the second round of screening will continue.
After Liu Tao finished speaking, these soldiers looked around each other, and they began to take the initiative when they thought they met the first condition. After a while, more than 400 of the more than 1,000 captives were reported.
Shangguan Yu led the army on guard to prevent them from suddenly attacking, but Liu Ge stepped forward and brought out these who had been reported.
"It's just that, I'm afraid I may not be able to screen ......it cleanly," Lu Yan was a little worried.
"Cangshan, you are too serious, you should know that 'when the water is clear, there are no fish'." Jian Yong came to his side and persuaded.
"Yes, my brother said that about me before." Lu Yan was a little helpless, and he never thought that others would use this to persuade him again.
According to Liu Tao's orders, these more than 400 people were tied with their hands and feet and placed in front of the remaining 600 captives. Liu Tao walked towards the middle of the two groups, and during this time, he pulled out a ring knife from his personal guard and threw it to the ground.
"The third condition, I need you to completely break with the Yellow Turban Thief!" Liu Tao replied, "It's okay to believe in the Taiping Dao, but the three Zhang brothers who took advantage of the Taiping Dao to raise troops and rebel are unforgivable!" Do you think I have a point? ”
Liu Tao actually allowed them to believe in the Taiping Dao, not to mention the remaining 600 captives, let alone the 400 captives who were brought out, all looked at him in disbelief.
"I think that there is no sin in myself to teach people to be good, at least not to take the initiative to harm the religion of my own followers and ordinary people. It's just that missionaries have their own selfish ......" Liu Tao looked at everyone, "and you, just to realize the sacrifice of his selfishness, are nothing more than a bunch of poor worms!" ”
"That's it!" Someone in the crowd suddenly roared, "We believe in religion just so that we can eliminate disasters and become immortals." As a result, someone from the court came and said that Zhang Jiao was going to rebel, but I became a thief unknowingly?! ”
He took the initiative to jump out and shouted to everyone: "I don't plan to rebel, but the officers and soldiers are coming to arrest me, what should I do?" What can I do?! can only follow the other believers in the township and join the Yellow Turban Army...... Phew, inside the Yellow Turban Thieves! ”
Then he turned to look at Liu Tao, clenched his fists and said: "My family, excluding my wife and young son, almost all died at the hands of officers and soldiers. I don't want to see them die too, so I can only raise my knife and fight back. I swear that unless it is for the military order, I will never take the initiative to kill the people and officers and soldiers, and I can sever all relations with the Yellow Turban Thieves! ”
"Prove it to me!" Liu Tao pointed to the ring-headed knife on the ground, "Give me a severe insult to Zhang Jiao, and then among the captives over there, find someone to give him a knife!" By the way, there are only more than four hundred of them! ”
When this soldier heard this, he didn't talk nonsense, he directly picked up the ring head knife and came to one of the captives: "Zhang Jiao, you are the leader of the Taiping Sect, and you actually led us to the road of no return, I am really blind!" ”
After speaking, the hand rose and fell, clean and neat.
With a knife, the captive pointed at the man and said, "I know this person, once attacked Zhuangzi, when he accepted the captive, he took a maid of the squire's family to the corner, and there are many things like this, and he died innocently at all!" ”
"Very well, welcome to my command!" Liu Tao nodded, then looked at the other captives, "Who else?" ”
The phrase 'there are only more than 400 of them' is like a spell, and there are nearly 600 of them! Realizing this, people immediately came out one after another, and after a short time, the more than 400 captives were all ambushed.
It's just that there are two hundred and twenty-one people left, and they really can't grab the opportunity, so they can only tremble at the moment and look at Liu Tao......
