『Chapter error, click here to report』
The soul bones will be buried in Qingshan.
The soldiers of Chu State will record all those who died on the battlefield, and they will be buried in a unified manner, and there will be a large number of pensions at the end of the war, and the corpses of enemy soldiers will be transferred and buried, and many people will be in the wilderness.
The corpses of the dead are easy to deal with, and these 200,000 captives of the living people gave Emperor Chu a little headache, it was useless to stay, and it was a pity to kill him, he was not a faint king who was brutally devoured and killed.
I thought about it for a long time.
Emperor Chu suddenly rose to his feet, his fighting spirit was restrained, his eyes crossed the generals, and he ordered: "Zilong, Feng Xian, Yue Fei, Ran Min'er and other four people will gather all the prisoners on the military camp and school ground, Su Lie, Pang De, you two will transport all the gold, silver and money obtained by our army all the way to the school field." ”
"What does Your Majesty mean?"
The generals were suspicious, looked at each other, and left the council hall with curiosity, and the other generals did not stay too long, got up and left together to help.
All of a sudden, Emperor Chu was left alone in the council hall, his face was full of melancholy, his thoughts were full of thoughts, and he was worried about whether Concubine Ling'er and her party would go well, whether Bai Qi, and whether Sun Ce would encounter the 500,000 remnants of the Northern Wei Dynasty who had been evacuated under Luoyang City.
Think of it.
Emperor Chu flicked his sleeves and walked quickly to the outside of the general's mansion, and when he came to the outside of the mansion, he flew on the ink dragon and rode his horse and whip towards the military camp in the city.
The afternoon sun falls on the ground, and when it comes to late spring and early summer, the breeze is soft and warm, and the ancient trees on both sides of the long street are verdant, and the air is mixed with a faint smell of fragrant grass.
Arrive outside the barracks.
Emperor Chu dismounted and raised his hand to hand the reins to the soldiers on one side, strode into the camp, and walked in the direction of the school field.
Less.
Zhao Yun led his troops to escort 50,000 captives into the school field, Emperor Chu's eyes flashed over everyone, and he turned around and ordered Zhao Yun to inform Lu Bu, Yue Fei, and Ran Min, the three generals, and bring the captives one after another after an hour.
The school yard had limited space, so the prisoners could only be allowed to enter in batches, and after a stick of incense, twenty carriages came to the outside of the school yard, and Su Lie and Pang De ordered the soldiers to remove all the huge boxes on the carts.
Emperor Chu checked the information in his mind, these 50,000 captives were all remnants of the Northern Wei Dynasty, most of them were soldiers under the command of General Wuziliang, and some of Cao Cao's personal guards were tiger and leopard riders.
The 50,000 captives knelt down one after another to salute under Su Lie's furious roar, and only the tiger and leopard cavalry stood upright, with a resolute and indomitable expression.
"Iron bones, no groveling, iron-blooded slaughter, it is a strong army, but it is a pity that it did not shine in Cao Cao's hands."
Emperor Chu had a plan, his essence flickered, his eyes stayed on the prisoners, and the majestic voice spread.
"Listen, everyone, you don't need to panic, Wu Chu has always been kind to the captives, and I will not order you to be killed."
"Now I give you three choices, the first is that those who are willing to stay in the military camp of Chu State will be rewarded with fifty silver vehicles, and the military salary will be treated equally with the soldiers of Chu State, and the second will be rewarded with thirty taels of silver for those who have special skills, and they will stay in Chu State for construction and forging, and the labor fee will be paid normally. Third, if you don't want to stay, you can go to the side of the school yard, receive ten taels of silver and leave immediately, and I will let you go back to reunite with your family. ”
Words.
The stone was shattered, the 50,000 captives couldn't believe their ears, all of them were puzzled, and the generals of the Chu army were shocked, they didn't expect that the Chu Emperor would order the release of these captives.
"Your Majesty thinks twice, these people are all from the army, if you let them go back, the Northern Wei Emperor will convene again, it will pose a huge threat to Wuchu."
"Yes, I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"
Yue Fei, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Su Lie, and Ran Min all spoke out, hoping that Emperor Chu would think twice and withdraw the edict, so as not to let the tiger return to the mountain and cause a catastrophe.
"Haha~"
"The ministers are too worried, killing one person can easily take their lives, but if they are all killed, it can only deepen the hatred, and then the people of the Northern Wei Empire will attack them en masse, and the great cause of Wuchu's unification of the Northern Wei Dynasty will be more difficult."
"But now I am giving them a life again, if you want to dominate the world, the people are the most important thing, they all have families, let them have a way to live, how many people will be grateful to Dade and choose to be loyal to Wu Chu."
Emperor Chu's sonorous voice sounded, in fact, he also knew that many people might just pretend to surrender, but he still decided to do so, because he believed that the people of the Northern Wei Empire would thank him and thank him for his great kindness, and at the same time, if the Northern Wei Empire was captured, the people would definitely be very friendly to the soldiers of Chu.
This move is really a triple win, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, even if some people return to join the Northern Wei Cao Cao again, then what's the matter, they can be defeated for the first time, if they fight again, they can still be crushed strongly.
Smell.
The generals kept silent and chose to fall into silence, because they felt that Emperor Chu's words were very reasonable, hatred made people crazy, and the generals hoped that the enemy soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty would know how to be grateful, otherwise they would not mind, and let them experience the feeling of despair again on the battlefield.
There was an uproar on the school ground, 50,000 Northern Wei captives were reborn, they walked away from the ghost gate, they thought they would become dead souls under the knife, and Emperor Chu's words made them relieved.
"Huh!"
Emperor Chu opened his arms, and the voice on the school field stopped abruptly, only to see his eyes staring, and his voice was like thunder.
"In the past, Fusang committed Chu and brutalized the people, and the army of Chu came to Fusang, and the sharp blade was unsheathed, and Fusang was unified, and I remembered that God has the virtue of a good life, and did not kill all the people who committed the most heinous crimes in Fusang, but I didn't expect that after the Northern Wei army entered Beihai Island, there was a large-scale riot."
"I can give them a chance to be born, but if I offend the majesty of the Chu State again, how can I keep them, so all the people and soldiers of Fusang on Beihai Island were slaughtered."
"Today, I will give you a chance, I hope that you will not follow in the footsteps of Fusang, and I will treat those who are willing to stay equally, and those who want to return, go back to live a good life, if we meet again on the battlefield in the coming days, I believe that the methods of the Wuchu army are still fresh in your memory."
The voice was majestic and mighty, and it clearly reached everyone's ears, and suddenly, 50,000 captives of the Northern Wei Dynasty knelt on the ground and saluted, thanking Emperor Longen of Chu.
Next.
Fifty thousand captives began to make choices, and after an hour, 40,000 chose to stay, of which 30,000 soldiers chose to join the Chu army, and 10,000 chose to work in the Chu emperor, because they were tired of fighting blood and fire on the battlefield.
Only 10,000 people chose to go home, and the 3,000 tigers and leopards cavalry armor were among them, and the generals began to distribute silver taels according to their choices, and Emperor Chu took Dian Wei with him, and Ma Chaoer rode towards the 3,000 tigers and leopards.
"Yide, Ma Chao, the two of you bring these 3,000 soldiers to the side of the school field, they are the elite of the enemy soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty, I want to let them stay and serve Wuchu."
Young.
Three thousand tigers and leopards were brought to the side of the school field, and Emperor Chu looked at the neat and powerful tigers and leopards in front of him, his eyes flashed with essence, and his majestic voice sounded, and he asked coldly.
"You are all soldiers in the bloody field, what better place is more suitable for you than the battlefield, insisting on choosing to leave, do you want to return to Luoyang City to continue to be loyal to the Northern Wei Emperor?"
