Well, it's useless to talk about it anymore. Now what about so many captives? We are already short of food. Now there are 60,000 more mouths, and there is not enough to eat. Zhang Jie said.

Ju Yidao: Let's learn from Cao Cao, take the prisoners to Tancheng and force Yuan Shao to surrender, and if you don't surrender, you will kill them all. Leaving so many captives has to be guarded, and wasting food, it's a trouble, just kill it!

Everyone was silent, and only Ju Yi could come up with this idea.

Since he is Chen Gong, he didn't expect Zhang Jie to have such a ruthless person. Others don't dare to say it even if they think about it. That's 60,000 people!

Zhang Jiedao: Ju Yi's idea is good, but these captives are not Xianbei Wuhuan people, and if they are killed, they will be killed. Most of these are strong men captured by Yuan Shao. They are all Han Chinese, and they will also be Jie's people in the future. How can you kill it? Moreover, since ancient times, there has been an ominous saying about killing prisoners.

We can't bet on Yuan Shao's thoughts. If Yuan Shao is ruthless and does not surrender, Jie orders the slaughter of the prisoners, which will lose the hearts of the people of Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

Most of these captives came from Qingzhou, Xuzhou.

If Yuan Shao doesn't care about their life or death, Jie will not be trustworthy if he doesn't kill them! Therefore, the killing of prisoners must not be mentioned again!

Think of another way!

Sima Yi said: The lord might as well send someone to take down all the other counties in Donghai County and place these prisoners in these counties. Food on the spot.

Well, what Zhong Da said also makes sense. But we still have to keep thousands of captives in each county. Moreover, it is not a long-term solution to send people to watch the detainees.

Zhang Jie thought about it! Dao: The big husband has something to do and something not to do. What we want is people's hearts, not a piece of dead land!

Zhong Ming, give the order to go down and gather all the captives. Jay was to speak to them, and when he was done, he let go of all the captives, and each of them was given a penny to go home on their own.

My lord, this is 60,000 mouths! If they are all released, will they go to Yuan Shaona again? Yang Hongdao.

These people are not stupid, how can they still go? Even if they go, they will surrender immediately in the next battle. Because after surrendering, we will release him again, and we can still get a penny. Why not? There are these people who take the lead in surrendering, and Yuan Shaojun will be the surrender army in the future. What are we afraid of?

Okay, that's it? Zhang Jie said!

Promise!

Yuanfu, you go to the fire room, cook the dead horses, and put more salt (the ancient salt nobles were reluctant to put more) to let all the captives have a full meal. Although horse meat is not very tasty, it is not usually eaten by the poor.

Let the captives eat before leaving. In addition, each person is given a dry ration. We've got to do something different! Lao Tzu doesn't believe these people, and when he goes back to Yuan Shao, won't he make a noise for us? Lao Tzu wanted Yuan Shao's soldiers to throw down their weapons and surrender when they saw our soldiers in the future. Go ahead and do it!

Promise!

Although everyone felt that there was some truth, it was a pity to let it go before the war was over.

Tom tom! A clearing of land. The black captives were huddled in a heap.

Zhang Jie stood on a carriage or two, holding a simple horn made of sheepskin.

Zhang Jie shouted: All the soldiers of the Yuan army. I am Zhang Jie, and I came to Xuzhou to let the people of Xuzhou live a good life.

Most of you come from poor backgrounds. You should have heard that Hebei only collects rent for 30 percent of land, and there is no tax for the landless people. But you Xuzhou and Qingzhou still have the final say. Therefore, I want to overthrow them, so that you will be like the people of Hebei, only pay 30% of the land rent, and no taxes.

I know that most of you came here of your own free will. I'll tell you now. You're free, and you're done eating.

But after you go back, don't let Yuan Shao be arrested as a soldier again. If you really don't dodge, when we fight again next time, you just don't fight, just surrender! Right? It's not worth working for Yuan Shao and these landlords!

In the future, we won't fight friends we don't know! Okay, from now on, you go to eat, and after eating, each person will be given a penny for the journey. A serving of dry food.

We'll be friends from now on! I wish you all a safe journey! When you get home, say hello to your family on my behalf!

Zhang Jie left after speaking, and these people didn't care about him if they didn't understand it.

The captives never dreamed that there would be such a good thing in the world, eating meat, paying for the journey, and dry food. Originally, I thought that my life would be difficult to save, because it was too common to kill prisoners in ancient wars, and there were few famous generals who did not kill prisoners.

As someone slowly got a penny and started to leave, it's like a fryer, it's true! Then it took a whole day to finish.

Ju Yi and Wei Yan are now in a relationship, and the two of them are sitting together.

Ju Yi complained: Since ancient times, I have never heard of giving back money to prisoners for meat. It's not bad if you don't kill. Lord, this is just nonsense!

Wei Yan said with a smile: I said that Ju Lao is coarse, you know a fart, these captives can't be killed, how much food do you waste every day if you stay here? What is the dry food for them to go?

In the future, these people will not be able to be grateful to the lord. The lord used such dead horse meat to buy people's hearts. How cheap is it?

Didn't you see that the lord didn't want a single captive? I don't ask if anyone wants to join us. Isn't there a shortage of food? Our food route is too far. Therefore, the lord did not dare to recruit these captives again.

I said Wei Heizi, if you don't give Lao Tzu a red rabbit horse, Lao Tzu won't be ashamed to throw it home.

Now that the red rabbit horse is gone, let the group of bastards in Zhou Cang eat it, this is the red rabbit horse! Can you swallow Kuroko this week?

You said that the lord is too, why did you kill it! It's a shame to stay and breed! I'm so distressed!

Wei Yandao: You know a fart, this is called the emperor's mental technique, you and I want it, in fact, it's not just you and me, everyone wants it too. Didn't you see that after the horse died, Liu Meng's stupid big man was about to cry? But there is only one horse, and it is not suitable for anyone. The lord himself is embarrassed to ask for it, what can you do if you say you don't kill it?

I'm responsible for this, and if I don't fight with you, maybe this horse will really be yours. Wei Yan said.

What do you mean by it, it's mine! You were a scoundrel and insisted that you were caught! Ju Yi said.

Wei Yandao: Okay, I'm to blame for this, will we let you go back next time? Even if I catch Yuan Shao, I'll give it to you, okay?

But Ju Laoru, I heard that you gave you all ten Hun beauties at one time in Xianbei last time, can you use it?

Don't say it, what a beauty! Originally, I thought that the beauty sent by the Huns to the lord was not bad! I don't know that it's just a group of rouge fans. Lao Tzu didn't have any eyes.

After a few days of playing, it was all given to the bunnies under his command. In the future, Lao Tzu will no longer believe in any interracial beauties. It's better for us Central Plains women.
