Chapter 184: Killing and Surrender Unknown

"As for the Wuding of Shu Kingdom, it is naturally over there in Sichuan!" The system arranges the way. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It doesn't matter!" Bao Hong smiled, "Wuding's kind of guy is completely incapable of pulling up any team. ”

"I just said implantation, and I didn't say that it was up to them to occupy Sichuan!" The system laughed.

Bao Hong and the system have been talking for a long time, the sky has gradually whitened, and the handling of various affairs has basically achieved preliminary results.

First of all, the cavalry generals came to report back. After all, although they need their mobility to follow and kill, if the Chinese army can't keep up, it won't make much sense. So after defeating the Yellow Turban Army within a certain range, they did not continue to chase them out.

The cavalry generals came back to report that the overall damage was not very large, and although the Yellow Turban Army also prepared fences and antlers, the trenches and so on did not have time to be arranged. And the cavalry charged with a fierce general, clearing the obstacles, and the cavalry behind followed the charge, fighting at a speed, how could the Yellow Turban Army that bombed the camp behind resist.

In the same way, the Chinese army that was killed later also did not suffer much loss. Chasing down the rout was easy.

In the final analysis, it was also Peng Pet's insufficient preparation, and he was not well prepared when he set up camp, and was caught off guard by the three-way iron cavalry, and finally collapsed.

"General Qiyu, the Yellow Turban Army also left a large amount of grain and grass materials, etc., which are still being counted, and there are many of them." Yu Yunwen, one of the long histories, opened his mouth and said that he was in charge of the loot.

"Among the Yellow Turban captives, there are quite a few vassals and coercions, and more than half of them are old, weak, sick and disabled." Chai Rong, who was in charge of another matter, also spoke, "Fortunately, the other party is also a person with experience in battles after all, and the women and children did not come with the army. ”

"In this regard, Pei Xingjian should be in charge of the recruitment work. A few military advisors helped him and got this thing done as soon as possible! Bao Hong beckoned, "We can't stay here for a long time, this matter will be completed as soon as possible, and the remaining unbeatable old and weak will not be taken away, presumably Fan Chong on the other side will not do anything to them." ”

"However, some of the most vicious people in the Yellow Turban Army, you must also screen them out, if they are outstanding in ability and their virtue has not reached the point of extinction of humanity, you can consider hiring. If before this, you are mad and have done a lot of evil deeds, then you will directly correct the Fa and clarify the canonical punishment! Bao Hong continued to arrange.

"General! Wouldn't that be a bad thing? Ling Jing on the side opened his mouth to remind, "Although the general's original intention is like this, it can't stand the malicious propaganda of people with intentions. You know, it's okay to talk about this matter, but if someone wants to pour dirty water on this matter, it involves issues such as killing and surrendering, killing prisoners, etc., but it will have a big impact! ”

As the old saying goes, the killing is unknown!

War is brutal and bloody, and the two countries will inevitably suffer casualties when they fight. The so-called 'mercy is not in charge of the army', 'one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither'. Among the generals of the past generations, some of them are famous for their killings. They are undoubtedly all famous generals, all of them have great achievements, and most of them kill people for many reasons, but most of them do not die well. Is it really ominous to kill?

The reason why it has become a military custom not to kill and surrender or behead is also the result of weighing the pros and cons.

War is a simple and crude method of gaining the right to allocate resources, and because of the enormous cost, it is generally not used unless it is necessary. It is better to have an army under the city and accept surrender than to have corpses strewn all over the field and slaughter all over the city. In this sense, war, like reasoning, litigation, and negotiation, is still about survival resources. Therefore, if agreement can be reached through non-war or even non-direct war methods, such as deterrence, small-scale military conflict, then rational people will choose to avoid war.

Looking at it this way, what are the consequences of killing or killing?

Killing and surrendering increases the expected loss of the losing side next time, but the expected gain does not increase as a result. The immediate response is that the fight will be more tragic, which has the same effect as executing the thief and the robber: die for the country, but what? Since being captured is also death, it is better to die in battle. And war is for resources, not for killing.

There are three conditions for not killing people:

1. There are others to be appeased; In order to avoid making more enemies and to strive for the greatest united front, it is sufficient to disarm and punish the first offender.

2. Confirm that these individuals are no longer a threat; If Bai Qi let go of the 400,000 surrendered Zhao army, then Zhao State would not be greatly injured, and in a few years, he would come to compete with Qin State for hegemony. In the past, when we fought against ethnic minorities, we always had to kill a group of prisoners, which is also the meaning.

3. These people also have uses, such as being slaves

For example, when the Mongols conquered the city in the early stage, they would say that if they resisted, they would inevitably slaughter the city, and if they did not resist, they would be released, which was to increase the expected losses of the other side in a non-military way and create a false choice. Of course, these people have a relatively low reputation, and every time they don't resist, they slaughter the city, so this policy was changed after all.

In the past, capturing a person was rewarded more than killing a head, but in the pre-Qin Legalists did not pay so much attention to it.

I won't talk about the typical cases of Bai Qi and Xiang Yu in the distance. In the Han Dynasty, is this still not a matter of concern?

Facts show that at least many famous generals of the Han Dynasty did not care about this problem at all.

Retrospectively, it is naturally Liu Bang, the Taizu Emperor of the Han Dynasty, who has done a lot of things to kill and even slaughter the city, but it is relatively not as shocking as Bai Qi and Xiang Yu hundreds of thousands at a time.

The first is Tu Xianyang, see "Hanshu Chen Shengxiang", the second Tu Wuguan is seen in "Historical Records of Qin Shi Huang Benji", and the third is Tu Lu. "Hanshu Gaoji No. 1" records: Liu Bang sent people to win over the king of Chu's great Sima Zhou Yin, Zhou Yin could not resist Liu Bang's temptation, betrayed the king of Chu, led the army to slaughter the people of six places, and led the troops in the Jiujiang region to vote for Liu Bang's general Di Bu, and he slaughtered the city father together, and finally only Lu was left uncaptured, Liu Bang was furious, and wanted to mobilize all kinds of troops to carry out a bloody bath in the place.

In addition to Liu Bang himself, there is also Liu Bang's subordinate Zhou Bo, "Historical Records: The Family of Zhou Bo of the Marquis of Jiang" records: Chen Feng rebelled, Liu Bang ordered Zhou Bo to lead the army to crusade against Chen Feng, and Zhou Bo's army slaughtered the Mayi City guarded by Chen Feng; "Hanshu Zhang Chen Wang Zhou Bo Biography" records: Yan King Lu Juan rebelled, Zhou Bo replaced Fan Hao as Xiangguo to lead the army to quell the rebellion, and slaughtered Lu Juan to defend the capital of Hundu.

Liu Bang's subordinate Fan Xu, Tu boiled jujubes, see "Historical Records: The Biography of Fan Liteng", Tu Huling, see "Hanshu Fan Liteng Irrigation Fu Jin Zhou Biography"

Historical Records. In the biography of Fan Liteng, there is such a record of the dog-slaughtering general Fan Xu: "Pei Gong attacked Zhang Han's army in Puyang, attacked the city first, beheaded twenty-three levels, and gave the knight a doctor." From the siege of Chengyang, the "annotation has" to explain Xu Guang said: "In July of the second year of the chronology, the Qin army was broken in the east of Puyang, and the city was slaughtered. ’”

This Wuyang Marquis, who started by slaughtering dogs, killed Qin soldiers by beheading twenty-three levels, presumably the speed of killing the people of Chengyang must have been much faster, and it was also considered a level higher from slaughtering dogs to slaughtering people. I just don't know which of the many slaughtered Chengyang people is more tyrannical in the hearts of many people in Chengyang, Pei Gong, the anti-Qin righteous teacher or the Qin soldiers who defend the city.

There is also Chai Wu, who responded to Liu Bang's uprising at the end of Qin and made many military exploits. Participated in the decisive battle between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, and defeated Xiang Yu's army, when Han Xin was the former general, General Kong led the left army, General Fei commanded the right army, and Jianghou Chai Wu was behind the emperor. In the second year of Gaozu, he defeated the army and sealed the Marquis of Thorn with merit. In the eleventh year, Han Wangxin once again united with the Xiongnu to invade the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty sent the general Chai Wu to lead the troops to meet the attack, and Chai Wu wrote a letter to Han Wangxin, persuading him to return to the Han Dynasty after losing his way. But Han Wangxin didn't dare to have any extravagant hopes, the tragic ending of the Marquis of Huaiyin had already made him shudder, not to mention that he still had three major crimes in his body: the defense of Xingyang could not be loyal to death; The Xiongnu invaded Mayi and surrendered the city; Now he led troops for the enemy and fought against the Han army. He expected that Liu Bang would not spare himself. Horizontal and vertical death, Han Wangxin chose to die happily, he did not want to repeat the regret of Huaiyin Hou who threw himself into the net. Chai Wu fulfilled him, and in the slaughter of Shenhe, he cut off Han Wangxin's head. At this time, it was only two or three months since the head of Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, landed. See "Historical Records: The Biography of Han Xin Lu Xuanlie" and "Han Shu: Wei Baotian Dan Han Wang Xin Biography".

Speaking of Han Xin, there was also a massacre of the city, in November of the fifth year of the Han Dynasty (b.c. 202), Han Xin's corps and Peng Yue's troops passed through the city father, destroyed the local defenders, and "slaughtered the city"! See "Historical Records: Xiang Yu Benji" and "Gaozu Benji"

This is the case in the Western Han Dynasty, and the Eastern Han Dynasty is also a urine.

Wu Han Wu Ziyan, a famous general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, ranked second in the "Yuntai Twenty-eight Generals". Ren Biao general, general, Liu Xiu was called the emperor, promoted to the great Sima, and was named the Marquis of Wuyang.

The so-called 36 generals of Guangwu Yuntai praised in the commentary are actually all slaughtering maniacs. Among them, the most famous is Wu Han of the massacre of Chengdu, who entered Chengdu after breaking Gongsun Shu and plundered and killed, and its atrocities can only be described as outrageous.

In the sixth year, Wu Han, the supreme commander of the national armed forces of the Eastern Han Dynasty (Da Sima), and Zang Gong, the general of Fuwei, led a large army to attack Chengdu. Emperor Sun Shu of the Emperor of the Cheng Family drove the expedition in person, attacked Wu Han, and ordered Yancen to attack Zang Palace. The battle began, Yancen won three battles and three victories, and from the bloody battle in the morning to noon, the officers and men were exhausted without food. Wu Han led tens of thousands of elite troops to counterattack, and the Chengjia Corps was in chaos. Gongsun Shu handed over the army to Yan Cen, and died in the night.

In the early morning of the next day, Yancen surrendered Chengdu. Wu Han ordered to behead Gongsun Shu's wife and children, slaughter the Gongsun family, leave the eldest and youngest, and slaughter the Yancen family. Then, the **** soldiers burned and burned down the palace of Gongsun Shu. In the city of Chengdu, blood drowned people's ankles; Liu Xiu was furious at Wu Han's atrocities and blamed Wu Han. He also accused Liu Shang and said: "It has been three days since Chengdu surrendered, and the officials and the people have all obeyed. Babies and mothers alone, calculated in units of 10,000, suddenly set fire to the soldiers, and those who heard it wept sadly. You are a child of the royal family, and you have been an official, how can you bear to do such a tragic thing? ”

If there was no edict from Liu Xiu, future generations would only know that Wu Han slaughtered the city, of course, under the anger of the bloody battle, the beastly nature could not be stopped for a while. However, from Liu Xiu's edict, it can be found that Wu Han's order to slaughter the city occurred three days after receiving Chengdu, during which Wu Han showed a smile on his face, until it was properly arranged, men, women and children, when he was full of gratitude to Wu Han, he suddenly turned his face. Tyrants and tyrants persecuted the people and were always brave. But for the captives, women and children, who had no ability to defend themselves and had already submitted, there was a brazen mass murder.

Speaking of Wu Han, it is impossible not to mention Liu Xiu, Emperor Jianwu, who was also the leader of the rebel army and was born as a peasant with eight hundred roots. His army was notoriously poor in discipline. Wu Han slaughtered Chengdu, Liu Xiu only verbally reprimanded a few words, and the punishment for Wu Han was "20,000 grains", which shows that Liu Xiu has always connived at the slaughter of the city. Geng Yi is known as the slaughter of three hundred cities, and he is even more honored. Wu Han even slaughtered Liu Xiu's hometown before, maybe the slaughter was a bit excessive, just at this moment Liu Xiu's general Deng Feng returned to Xinye to visit relatives, heard and saw it, and was angry, so he reversed and defeated Wu Han, "with the thieves".

The founding generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty slaughtered the heaviest, none other than Geng Yi. "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty Geng Yi" recorded: "Yi was a general, forty-six counties in Fansuoping, and three hundred cities were slaughtered, and he did not experience setbacks. "In the early days of the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were 12 prefectures in the world, and each state had six to eight counties, and the county seat in each county was only seven or eight, and there were only more than 700 cities. Geng Yi slaughtered more than 300 cities by himself, which was really like a lawn mower mowing the lawn, and this push flattened the head on 40% of the country's land area.

Although these are all things that happened at the turn of troubled times. However, it was only at the turn of generations that wars broke out, and such things happened.

After the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, the Chu-Han War and the alternating wars of the Han Dynasty, it was another war between the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty.

The famous examples this time are the two well-known ones, Dong Zhuo, who had worked with Bao Hong for a period of time before, and Cao Cao, who was the eighth lieutenant of the West Park with Bao Hong later.

There is no need to say much about the burning of Luoyang and the slaughter of Xuzhou.

That being said, it seems that a large part of the overall outcome went to the winning side.

This is also something that can't be helped, you haven't been able to win the battle, how can there be any chance of killing? Therefore, most of the things that belong to the victors have to be considered, relatively speaking, the impact on future development and the impact on the generals themselves.

In the short term, the result of such a huge deterrent as killing and slaughtering cities will inevitably make the opponent dare not compete with it, which can be said to be a good impact.

But from a personal point of view, bearing this infamy, Huang Chao will unify the world and appease the people in the future, and he will take you out and do it if he can't say it.

Of course, this is not absolute, at least Liu Bang, Liu Xiu or Cao Cao have not been affected much. Of course, Liu Bang, it's time for the situation to be more stable. But Boss Cao is because of this incident, which has greatly affected his pace of unifying the world.

Of course, Bao Hong didn't mean crazy brainless slaughter. But this thing, what I'm most afraid of is to add fuel to the fire, you just kill the evil ones among them, it's okay if the news spreads, if the news doesn't spread, it will be the slaughter of the Yellow Turban captives, and then you have to meet a more powerful opponent, slaughter the other Yellow Turbans and the weak, and blame Bao Hong, then it's over.

This is something that involves public opinion warfare, and this matter is the thing that Gongsun Shu on the other side is the best at playing.

For this reason, Ling Jing had to raise the question. (To be continued.) )
