Chapter 518: Huan Fan's Means

However, the relocation of Xiongnu civilians is a huge and systematic project, which is impossible to complete without a few months or even a year, and if Cao Liang is allowed to deal with this matter personally, it will definitely not be delayed in time.

Therefore, Cao Liang can only hand over the specific affairs to the people of Hedong County to handle, fortunately, Cao Liang has a good relationship with Ding Juncheng and Lin Duwei, and Ding Juncheng and Lin Duwei are also willing to help, so this matter was quickly finalized, the plan was made by Cao Liang, and the specific implementation steps were completed by Hedong County.

Of course, Cao Liang also made people report to Luoyang quickly and made it clear to Cao Shuang, such a major decision, Cao Liang must obtain Cao Shuang's consent.

As for the prisoners of war, Cao Liang handed them over to Huan Fan, who had full authority to deal with them.

At the beginning of the battle, Cao Liang had asked Huan Fan's opinion, and Huan Fan immediately gave Cao Liang an idea, and now that this situation has occurred, Cao Liang naturally kicked the ball to Huan Fan.

Huan Fan didn't refuse, maybe he was already in mind when he offered advice to Cao Liang.

The Xiongnu prisoners of war numbered about 5,500 people, and if Huan Fan, a large prisoner of war, would naturally not dare to hold them in one place, but divided them into 11 prisoner of war camps, each battalion was about 500 people, and they were held separately, and they did not communicate with each other.

The purpose of this was evidently to prevent a riot, and the battalions were so far apart that they could not even hear each other's voices, and even a riot by prisoners of war in one battalion would not affect the other battalions.

In order to prevent the prisoners of war from escaping, most of these prisoner of war camps chose some valleys as their garrisons, so that the Wei army did not need to send a lot of soldiers and horses to act as guards, as long as they sealed the surrounding areas of the valley, they could completely control these prisoners of war.

After being captured, most of these Huns were uneasy, they did not know what was waiting for them, whether they would be beheaded? So these people's emotions are extremely uneasy, and the slightest bit of turmoil will become tense.

Perhaps most of these Hun soldiers have already regretted it, on the battlefield, they still have weapons in their hands, and they have the capital to fight to the death, and after disarming and surrendering, they have no weapons in their hands, so they naturally become fish on the chopping board and are slaughtered by others.

The Wei army did not seem to have any drastic measures, except for a little tighter guarding, they rarely even entered the prisoner of war camps, and they also turned a blind eye to some of the conflicts that took place in the prisoner of war camps.

Because the food ration in the prisoner of war camp was not very abundant, these prisoners of war could only be allocated one meal a day after being imprisoned here, barely enough to feed their stomachs, and it was impossible to eat enough.

In the prisoner of war camps, there are often some bullying phenomena, some Huns form gangs and cliques to snatch food from the lonely, and sometimes, there is a phenomenon of beating people's lives.

The Wei guards seemed to turn a blind eye to this phenomenon, allowing the Huns to loot and even beat people's lives, and they did not pay a blind eye to them, and at most Wei soldiers entered the prisoner of war camp and dragged the wounded or dead away after someone was seriously injured or killed.

Even when some of the beaten people came to ask the Wei soldiers for assistance, what they encountered was the cold eyes of the Wei army and the pressure of knives and guns, and only after death, would the Wei soldiers come to collect the corpses.

The situation in each prisoner of war camp is not too similar, don't look at these Huns who are greedy for life and afraid of death, they will easily surrender under the coercion of the Wei army, but the real nest is the same very horizontal, and the Huns' courage and ruthlessness are vividly displayed.

Huan Fan has been wandering around these eleven prisoner of war camps for the past few days, and now the performance of the Hun prisoners of war is not at all beyond his expectations, in order to survive, people are often unscrupulous, and the performance of these Hun soldiers is normal.

Huan Fan wanted such an effect, although it was said that the food and salary distributed by the imperial court could only be used by the battalions of the Pingbei Army, but the large amount of grain, grass and materials captured by the Wei army in this battle could still be useful.

Under normal circumstances, there would be no problem with the temporary supply of food to the prisoner of war camp, but Huan Fan deliberately asked the Wei army to reduce the food supply to the prisoner of war camp to see how these Huns reacted in the case of food shortage.

If these Xiongnu prisoners of war rose up to unite and fight against each other in order to survive, Huan Fan would have used other methods to deal with it, but now it seems that the Huns have no sense of unity at all, and they fight each other and grab each other, which is completely in the hands of Huan Fan.

So Huan Fan ordered a further reduction in the food ration of the Huns, cutting half of the original supply at once, which would make nearly half of the Huns hungry.

Hunger makes people crazy, and when those hungry Hun soldiers saw the food, their eyes were green, because the food provided by the Wei army today was not the kind of bran that was difficult to swallow, but the roasted whole sheep roasted to a golden brown and crispy aroma, such a temptation was definitely irresistible to a hungry person.

But when 500 men come to divide the sheep, you can imagine what will happen.

The Hun soldiers who were carried away by hunger swarmed up to snatch the roast sheep, and it was inevitable that there would be a stampede and crowding incident in the process, and many Hun soldiers had just stretched out their hands in front of the roast sheep, and they were trampled under the feet of others, and they were trampled to a blur of flesh and blood, and they were miserable.

Soon a roasted whole sheep was torn to pieces by countless hands, and the Hun soldiers who snatched the mutton excitedly stuffed it into their mouths, but these people were only a few after all, and the more people in the back saw that there was nothing left to divide the lamb bones.

Hunger makes people lose their minds, in order to snatch food, what brotherhood, what friendship of robes and ze, those Hun soldiers who grabbed food became the object of being blackened, just stuffed a mouthful of mutton in their mouths, the back of their heads immediately bloomed, and I don't know that the stones picked up from there smashed the Tianling cover of the Hun soldiers, and the ground was sprinkled with red blood and white brains.

The fight for food eventually turned into a larger-scale conflict, involving almost all of the Hun prisoners of war, and the entire camp was in chaos.

Huan Fan smiled slightly, this bloody and cruel scene was originally directed by him, the Huns killed each other, this is probably the best result, without the Wei soldiers to make a move, these Huns will start a dispute on their own, look at the corpses all over the ground now, I believe that if this method is done a few more times, the number of Huns will be greatly reduced, and Cao Liang will not have to worry about the shortage of grain and grass.
