Chapter 267 Killing is ominous, riddled with sins!
In this battle of Guandu, Cao's army won a complete victory, beheading more than 80,000 people, forcing more than 100,000 into the Yellow River...... The number of people is as high as more than 500,000, all of them are young and strong men in Hebei, how to deal with the large number of prisoners, it has become a difficult problem, according to the law of war, there are only three ways: incorporation, release, and pit killing!
The best strategy is to co-opt, more than 500,000 men, just like the original Yellow Turban Army, the brave are included in the army, replenish the losses of soldiers, and fight in all directions in the future; The rest of the people settled in the locality, cultivated the wasteland, paid taxes, and increased the income of the state treasury. ’
However, today is different from the past, the previous successful experience, may not be able to replicate it, most of the war for half a year, consumed countless grain and grass, the treasury of various places is empty, fortunately Xiao Yi got a batch of grain, which is barely maintained, Cao Jun soldiers are still half hungry and half full, so there is surplus grain to feed hundreds of thousands of prisoners?
Besides, the parents, wives and children of these captives all live in Hebei and are forcibly co-opted, once a long time passes, homesickness, it is inevitable that a large number of deserters will appear, and even cause riots, hundreds of thousands of people will rebel together, and the consequences will be unimaginable!
The middle strategy is to release, let them return to Hebei, and reunite with their parents, wives and children, such a benevolent and righteous act will inevitably gain a good reputation, and Cao Jun can also save food, but the road to Hebei is far away, the place is dilapidated, after hundreds of thousands of captives are released, half of them can return to their hometowns, that is the blessing of the gods!
Even if they return to their hometown, it may not be a good thing, after Yuan Shao's defeat, in order to restore his strength, there will be large-scale conscription, grain collection, and taxation, these people will either re-enlist in the army and continue to fight against Cao Jun on the battlefield, or they will fall into the grass and make a living by robbing their homes and houses, and they will never have a good end!
For Cao's army, the release of hundreds of thousands of prisoners is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of more enemies, and the northern expedition of the army in the future will inevitably be a bloody battle, and I don't know how many soldiers will fall on the battlefield?
The next strategy is to kill in a pit, follow the original 'killing god' Bai Qi, after winning the war, slaughter the other party's troops, the battle of Huayang, beheaded the three Jin coalition army 130,000, the battle of Yique, beheaded the Han and Wei coalition army 240,000, especially the battle of Changping, killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers in one fell swoop, creating a record of war history, more than 500 years have passed, and there are many famous generals in the land of China: Meng Tian, Xiang Yu, Han Xin, Wei Qing, Huo Quai...... Not a single one broke the record!
After the war, the slaughter of prisoners, that is, saving food, and can avoid future troubles, can be described as 'dead and dead, a hundred dead', but is it, killing prisoners in a pit will hurt the heavens and peace, and it will inevitably leave a lasting infamy, not to mention more than 500,000 people, absolutely killed to the heart and soul, among the generals of the Cao army, who has the courage to break the murder record of Bai Qi?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
In the Cao Jun camp - the Chinese military tent, the lights are flickering, the atmosphere is solemn, a group of civil and military ministers are silent, they are all thinking repeatedly, among the three methods, which one is more feasible, and who will implement it?
Anyone who has a little brain, knows how to choose, among the three strategies: the upper policy can't work, the middle strategy can't work, the next strategy is not good, the problem is, knowing that it's not feasible, and having to do it, the hundreds of thousands of captives that have been captured, there must be a way to deal with it, compare with each other, the next policy is the least harmful, and it is also the most practical choice, you can't afford to raise, you can't let go, you can only kill it!
At the thought of killing more than 500,000 people and breaking the record of 'killing gods' in vain, everyone's reaction was different...... Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi trembled, their little faces turned pale, they had the intention to hide behind their father, and they were afraid of causing everyone to laugh, so they had to lean to Xiao Yi's side, wanting to gain a sense of security!
Zhang He and Gao Ran were tense all over, their faces were like ashes, among the many prisoners imprisoned, there were their old people, good friends for many years, and even the children of their relatives, if they were all killed, what should they do - they have the heart to intercede, their qualifications are not enough, they are left alone, and their conscience is uneasy!
Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, a group of generals, are gearing up, eager to try, want to fight for this prestige, but after repeated consideration, they can't help but be discouraged again, they are also fierce generals in the army, killing thousands of 800 people, effortlessly, killing 20,000 or 30,000 people, ruthless is no problem, but killing more than 500,000 people, corpses are piled up like mountains, blood flows like rivers, just think about it, they are full of liver and gall, they don't have that courage!
As the old saying goes: 'Killing and surrendering is unknown, injustice is riddled with injustice, the way of heaven is constant, and there must be retribution', open the history and take a look, all the generals who killed and surrendered, never had a good end, died in vain, Xiang Yu committed suicide, even if he is a hero in the world, it is difficult to resolve endless injustices, this is a cycle of cause and effect, and it is also the will of God and the people!
Just imagine, more than 500,000 people were killed, their relatives, friends, at least millions of people, as well as righteous people, people who hate killing, not to mention tens of millions of people, they must hate the murderer to the bone, the total population of the entire Han world is only about 20 million, if half of the people hate you, even if they are heroes of the world, they will die without a place to be buried, this is the reason why Bai Qi and Xiang Yu died!
Cao Jun up and down, fierce generals like clouds, who has the courage, kill more than 500,000 people at a time, provoke boundless injustice, even if it is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty - Cao Cao, I am afraid there is no such courage, unless it is a person who is in charge of the killing of the world, all kinds of sins are not touched, can take on this heavy responsibility, right?
Thinking of this, the eyes of a group of civil and military ministers all fell on Xiao Yi, since the debut of this great Sima, he has been invincible and invincible, the sword is pointed, the blood waves are monstrous, the Yanmen Pass is built outside the 'Beijing Temple', Dunhuang City slaughtered Hu Xuan, the military flag in his hand is waved, and tens of millions of heads fall to the ground, if you talk about the weight of killing, no one in the world can compare!
Therefore, if you want to kill hundreds of thousands of captives, there is only one person in the world who has this courage, 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang', anyway, he is the greedy wolf star monarch who descends to earth, and he is in charge of the killing of the world, no matter how many sins he is riddled with, he is still a high-ranking official who has to sit and a horse to ride, and his life has no impact at all, and he can also break the record of Bai Qi and become the first god to kill in ancient and modern times!
"Click! -Click! -Click! ”
Facing everyone's eyes, Xiao Yi was calm and calm, and there was no wave at all, but it was Cao Zhang and Cao Zhang, who were so frightened that their little faces turned pale and trembled, they approached Xiao Yi, and they wanted to find a little comfort, but they forgot that this is the killer demon king, and now they have the heart to dodge a little, but their legs are weak and they can't stand up at all!
As for Xiao Yi, he looks at his nose, nose and mouth, and asks his heart, with the heart of Taoist nature, to dissolve everyone's eyes, whatever you think, resolutely not to be wronged, Xiao Yi has killed a lot of people, and he also likes to collect 'skull cups', and there is a shelf in the treasure house, but he is principled, he only slaughters the barbarian seeds, does not hurt the blood of the Han family, and is a standard nationalist!
For a while, there was silence in the big tent, some people looked at the sky, some people looked at the ground, and some people closed their eyes to recuperate, and their qi cultivation skills were better than one another, all of them wanted to avoid the pit and kill, and let others be wronged, but some things can't be avoided!
"The battle of Guandu was won, and hundreds of thousands of prisoners were captured, if it is not handled properly, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future, Xiao Lang is both wise and brave, and no one in the army can match, are you willing to share the worries of the old man?"
After a moment of silence, Cao Cao suddenly spoke, directly naming Xiao Yi, hoping that he would take over the matter and dispose of hundreds of thousands of prisoners, as for the reason, it was more complicated......
On the one hand, Xiao Yi is both civil and military, brave and good at fighting, he can be called a peerless good general, and he has experience in large-scale killing of prisoners, and he is indeed the best candidate to deal with hundreds of thousands of prisoners!
On the other hand, Xiao Yi's merits are too great, his prestige is too high, and he has mastered a few elite soldiers and horses, which makes Cao Cao feel a little uneasy, and he always wants to restrain him, this time to deal with the prisoners is the best opportunity!
As long as Xiao Yi wields his butcher's knife and kills hundreds of thousands of captives, although he has made great achievements, he will also be infamous and hated by the people of the world, so that Cao Cao will rest assured, the world of those who win the hearts of the people, a person hated by all the people, will never become the supreme of the world, and can only be used by the Cao family, fight on the battlefield, expand the territory, and be a capable minister for a lifetime!
This method is a bit insidious, and it is also a helpless move, Cao Cao knows very well that his sons are also considered to be the best among the people, but Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, Cao Xiong...... A few people are tied together, and they are not Xiao Yi's opponents, and after a hundred years, the successor is in danger of being overhead!
The problem is that Xiao Yat is both civil and military, and can fight well, but it is a divine blade, and it is a pity to abandon it, the best way is: 'After the bond, reuse it', and match the divine blade with a scabbard!
"Ahem! -Cough! -Cough! ”
Guo Jia - the world's ghost talent, nine turns exquisite, immediately understood, this is the prime minister's means, want to restrain his son-in-law, so as not to appear a big tail, as a superior, for the sake of the inheritance to pass on, this is also understandable!
It stands to reason that he is a minister of the Cao family, and he should give advice to the lord to ensure that the Cao family is permanent, otherwise it will violate the righteousness of the monarch and the minister!
Similarly, Xiao Yat is the best friend, and watching him fall into the fire pit without reaching out to help him is so against the feelings of friendship!
The two conflicted with each other, which made Guo Jia in a dilemma, he couldn't stop it, and he couldn't sit idly by, so he had to cough a few times and signal his good friend with his eyes, don't take this errand, otherwise he will be infamous for eternity?
"The Prime Minister has instructed that the last general will do his best, but hundreds of thousands of prisoners are more troublesome to deal with, and I hope to grant the right to 'arbitrariness on the spot'!"
Looking at Xiao Yi himself, he hugged his fists and received the order, very happy, since he couldn't hide, why should he retreat, it was better to take the initiative and ask for some reward!
At the same time, Xiao Yi's little finger drew a circle, suggesting that his good friend Guo Jia didn't have to worry too much, facing the Flaming Mountain, there was a poured sea water, and there was no hurdle that could not be overcome!
"Huh! …… Pass the order, from today on, Xiao Lang's words are the words of the old man, the officers and men of all departments in the army, dare to disobey those who do not obey - there is no forgiveness! ”
The son-in-law was on the road like this, Cao Cao was very happy, took out a 'unicorn gold medal' from his arms, and handed it over with his own hands, as long as Xiao Yi was willing to surrender, glory, wealth, monstrous power - all the Cao family can share!
