At this moment, Fan Zeng also calmed down, and gradually, he was completely clear, clear about Xiang Yu, clear about Yingbu, and clear about himself.

In the final analysis, as soon as the 200,000 convict army entered the camp, a word that no one wanted to touch was secretly flickering, and the general trend of the world was just like the Warring States.

The state of Chu or Xiang Yu could not melt such a huge army of elite population, and the army of 200,000 prisoners also made it clear that they did not want to melt.

This is an obvious fact, he insinuated with the Battle of Changping, in addition to telling Xiang Yu another choice, he was afraid of touching that word.

That terrible word is killing!

From ancient times to the present, "killing prisoners is ominous" is a military proverb deeply imprinted in the hearts of people all over the world. Although it is not a law, it is a heavenly humanity that is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than the law.

Glancing at Xiang Yu deeply, at this moment Fan Zeng had a trace of fear in his heart, and he had a trace of fear for Xiang Yu.

Fan Zeng is erudite, and naturally knows that since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, there has been killing in the world, for the land, for the cattle and sheep, for the power, and for the women.

People always come up with all sorts of reasons to kill each other.

However, no matter how you fight and kill, one thing remains the same, that is, not to kill any prisoners of war who give up resistance.

The victorious side taught the prisoners of war to be slaves, to do hard labor, and even to mistreat them in various ways, and people would condemn and denounce them, but that was all.

Because the law of the jungle is the eternal law of the world, people always have a sense of reverence for the victor and are more morally tolerant.

But there is always a limit to things in the world, and once you cross this limit, even if the strength cannot destroy you immediately, the sudden unity of heaven and humanity will bury you forever.

Among the many human limits, the battlefield is the most eye-catching.

This time, Xiang Yu not only killed, but also killed 200,000 people in one fell swoop, and the world will sacrifice the banner of heaven and humanity, and bury it forever in a terrible curse.

At that time, the famous general will become a hideous butcher, and the god of war will become a demon from which he will never recover.

Once killed 400,000 Zhao troops in the Battle of Changping, so far Wu Anjun has risen in vain, and he is a butcher demon in the eyes of the world, and now Xiang Yu has killed prisoners, and he will inevitably follow in his footsteps.

What's more, the original Bai Qi killed prisoners, it was during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there have been countless battles, and when they entered the Warring States, there were even more wars.

But Xiang Yu killed the prisoners, and it was at the end of Qin!

Fan Zeng had to admit that Bai Qi and Xiang Yu had too many similarities, the same invincibility, and the same killing of hundreds of thousands.

Xiang Yu was a great soldier, an invincible general and a brave warrior. His ability to govern the army, use soldiers, and fight is unparalleled in the world.

But when it comes to political talent, he is a third-rate talent who is reckless and lacks the ability to judge.

Fighting against the Qin army, he used his military talents to turn the impossible into a possibility, and won a decisive victory in the battle of Julu.

It's just that for the disposal of the subjugation of the Qin army, what is needed is political wisdom, but Xiang Yu treats it as a military issue, and seeks to be a fierce general rather than a minister.

Instead of thinking about winning the hearts and minds of the Qin people and making proper political preparations for the post-war future, they only wanted to march in a simple and neat way with immediate actions, and to kill the surrendered enemy by means of revenge against the recalcitrant enemy.

Fan Zeng, as a retainer of the Xiang family, was both prosperous and lost with the Xiang family, and for a while, the thoughts in his heart flickered.

……

Shaking his head, Fan Zeng was solemn: "Major General, the killing and surrender of Xin'an Pit has caused our army to lose the Qin State and cut off the possibility of our army gaining a foothold in the pass after entering the pass." ”

"Xin'an pit killed and surrendered, planted the seeds of hatred of the young general of the Qin people, and inevitably made the soldiers and people of the Qin state hate the young general, 200,000 Qin troops were buried alive in the underground of Xin'an, and millions of hostile soldiers and civilians were made in Qinzhong......"

……

"Father's words are wrong!"

Xiang Yu's words were solemn, and he spat out the long-brewing plan in his heart word by word: "Father, now that the coalition army is afraid of the prestige of our army, and temporarily surrenders, once the soldiers enter Hangu Pass, in the face of Daqin's hundreds of years of looting the people's fat and people's ointment, how can they sit idly by." ”

"Xin'an killed prisoners, although he was cut off from Guanzhong and became an enemy of Qin for generations, but I had to do this!"

"The 200,000 prisoner army only recognizes Zhang Han, and it is a pity to leave it useless and abandon it, seal Zhang Han as the king of Yong, once our army breaks through Hangu Pass, take Guanzhong."

"Zhang Han sits in the land of the old Qin, with 200,000 prisoners in his hands, who in the world can stop him?"

"Xin'an's killing of 200,000 prisoners can not only shock the world again and subdue the princes of the world, but also make the prestige of the king of Chu decline again, and make the Xiang clan get the full support of the people of Chu."

……

Seeing Fan Zeng's surprise in his eyes, Xiang Yu comforted him a few more words: "What's more, the great enemy of my Xiang clan, in addition to Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, there is also a high king of Chu. ”

"The foundation of the Xiang clan is in Chu, and the prestige accumulated by the Xiang clan for hundreds of years is in Chudi.

"The young general's foresight is really a blessing for the Xiang family!" Fan Zeng's heart was overjoyed, and his face was still filled with the worry of seeking the country and the king.

"It is true that as Yafu said, 200,000 prisoners were killed in Xin'an, and millions of hostile soldiers and civilians were made in Qinzhong.

Xiang Yu is not unwise, maybe he does not have Liu Ji's sharp political wisdom, nor does he come from Hu Hai's later generations, he has a broad vision, and he is like a treasure of history.

But Xiang Yu has something to be proud of, that is, he knows that he can only rely on the people of Chu to get to this point.

He is the patriarch of the Xiang clan, the representative of the anti-Qin forces in Chu, the first battle of Julu, annihilating Wang Li's 100,000 Jiuyuan army, and for a time shocked the world.

But everyone in the world has forgotten that Xiang Yu is only twenty-four this year, younger than the anti-Qin princes, and two years older than Qin Huhai.

Because of the battle of Julu, Xiang Yu was on the cusp, forcing him to go to the highest position, and also making the contradiction between him and the king of Chu Xiongxin irreconcilable.

Because of this, he will brazenly kill prisoners, even if he is isolated from Qin Zhong and bear a lot of infamy.

……

"Hangu Pass?"

Hearing these three words, Fan Zeng was silent for a while, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the three words Hangu Pass were the place names that would appear in every decisive battle that affected the world.

At the beginning, the Qin State sat in Wuguan and Hangu Pass, the six countries combined, and the million army stopped at Hangu Pass, which shows its geographical location.

"Major General, now that Liu Ji has broken through Wuguan, our army can only have Hangu Pass, but this Hangu Pass is extremely dangerous......"
