Chapter 234: Let the tiger return to the mountain
Heaven's Voice'.『 2. Liu Bei ran away, but Yuan Tan was caught, and there were tens of thousands of prisoners, how to deal with them became a big problem, the locust plague had just subsided, the crops in the fields were eaten up, and the treasury was empty, and there were only rats left, and it was extremely difficult to raise military rations, and the soldiers were usually half hungry and half full, so what did they use to feed tens of thousands of soldiers?
For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the camp, and people were speculating about the mind of the Grand Governor, in fact, it is not difficult to guess, since ancient times, there are only three ways to deal with the surrender of troops!
The first is to collect it for its own use, and incorporate tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers into its own team to expand its strength, these are Qingzhou elite soldiers, well-trained, armor, and equipment are also very complete, and after a little training, it is a team with strong combat power!
If there is no locust plague to cause harm, this method is undoubtedly the best, but unfortunately, there is no food in the hands, how to raise the soldiers, forcibly recruit them, once the hungry soldiers rebel, the harm will be even greater!
The second type, degraded to coolies, tens of thousands of soldiers are young and middle-aged, it is no problem to do some physical work, Xuzhou is implementing the 'military tun policy', wasteland is being reclaimed everywhere, and salt drying fields are also being laid on the seaside, it is most suitable to send them, and the cost is low, no need to pay wages, there is already a scholar family head so proposed!
The third way, all killed, this method is commonly used by the ancients, clean and neat, a hundred, in history, Qin will kill 400,000 prisoners in Baiqikeng, and the overlord Xiang Yu also killed 200,000 soldiers ......, with this thunderbolt method, not only weakening the enemy's strength, but also saving the rations to feed them, killing two birds with one stone!
Of course, although the method of killing and surrendering is the most worry-free, it also hurts the heavens and the peace, after all, it is tens of thousands of lives, and they are all the blood of the Han family, and ordinary people really can't do this!
People have speculated that ten ** will use the method of 'pit killing', when they were in Yanmen Pass, most of the governors even built 'Jingguan', and the white bones were piled up like a mountain, what is it to kill tens of thousands of soldiers?
In order to cater to the wishes of the above, many generals began to wander around, looking for a place to dig a pit, the soil must be soft and easy to start, and relatively hidden, the soldiers also began to prepare digging tools, this time it is a big deal, tens of thousands of people!
Seeing this, the Qingzhou soldiers were frightened, squatting in the prisoner camp and crying day and night, and some of them were bold, and they began to curse the sky, the earth, and people......
"Chen Yuanlong, you bastard who thundered and split the sky, what kind of bad idea did you come up with, and you killed your grandfathers......"
"Liu Bei, you big-eared thief, fanning the flames, you can't die well, Lao Tzu cursed you for giving birth to a son is an idiot......"
"Yuan Tan, you fool with a brain in the water, the lamb is killed in the wolf's den, you will send it to death yourself, and the brothers will be unlucky together......"
"Governor Xiao, my living ancestor, your old man's mercy, let go of a small way to live, in this life and this life, thank you Dade ~ woo woo ......"
The soldiers scolded Chen Deng, Liu Bei, and Yuan Tan, but they didn't dare to say anything to Xiao Yi, they were afraid, they were all afraid to the bones, not to mention that when there was no one, they didn't dare to offend in their dreams, Xiao Lang with a ghost face, that was the star king in the sky~~
The sound of surrendering troops reached Xiao Yi's ears, in this regard, he just smiled faintly, and did not order the killing of these innocent soldiers, but asked people to send food, don't abuse them, and then set up a banquet in the big tent, specially to feast on the eldest prince~ Yuan Tan!
"The Metropolitan Governor is above, and the villain worships ~~ Bang!" Hearing that the ghost-faced Xiao Lang was invited, Yuan Tan's little face turned pale with fright, and when he entered the big tent, he immediately bowed and saluted, his tongue was not good, and he fell to the ground......
It's not that Yuan Tan is too timid, but Xiao Yi's murderous reputation is too strong, who knows that this 'killing god' is bloodthirsty, and he also has a special hobby of collecting 'skull cups', "Will your head be placed on the shelf, and be appreciated as a work of art, and then used to drink a few cups when you are happy, woo woo......"
"Hehe, don't be surprised, the governor of Pontus sincerely set up a banquet to entertain, and there is no intention of harm!" Xiao Yi changed his usual cold appearance, walked over with a big smile, helped him to sit down with his own hands, and poured another glass of wine, shocked Yuan Tan, with a kind and amiable attitude!
Xiao Yi didn't wear armor today, but changed into a black Baihua robe, wearing a purple and gold crown, deerskin soft boots under his feet, a lion belt around his waist, and a thin layer of powder on his little black face, dressed like a son of a family, very chic!
Looking at the sumptuous banquet and smelling the fragrant wine, Yuan Tan became even more apprehensive in his heart, 'The evil wolf eats meat, Xiao Lang kills people', this is already a common sense in the world, and today he specially set up a banquet to entertain himself, could it be ...... Guillotine feast!
"Everyone in the world thinks that the governor of Bendu is bloodthirsty, killing people like hemp, this is a fool's fallacy, Wuwu life is not good to kill, only good to be kind to others, the eldest prince was born in a famous family, and he is both civil and military, Wuwu has long had the intention of making friends, how can he kill for no reason?"
Xiao Yi raised a glass to persuade and drink, while whitewashing himself, the world's misunderstanding of himself is too deep, how can such a peace-loving, kind-natured, and good young man who likes to play with little Lori be a murderer?
"Poof! ~~Crash! ~~ Hiss! ”
As soon as Xiao Yi's words were finished, without waiting for Yuan Tan to react, the generals and colonels who accompanied the wine in the tent sprayed wine one after another, leaning forward and backward one by one, and they didn't dare to laugh out loud, so they had to roll on the ground with their stomachs in their arms, 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' doesn't kill people, is there anything more ridiculous than this?
"Hehe, they're all rude and rude people, the eldest prince laughed!" Looking at the appearance of his subordinates, Xiao Yi touched his nose embarrassedly, and his little black face was full of embarrassment, "Please drink this cup, and I will send the eldest prince on the road in a while!" ”
"What, get me on your way?" Hearing this, Yuan Tan's frightened soul flew out of the sky, especially when he saw Xiao Yi's action of touching his nose, that was a signal to kill someone!
"The Metropolitan Governor spares his life...... the Metropolitan Governor spares his life!" At the moment of life and death, this eldest son of the Yuan family was scared like a chicken, leaning on the ground, kowtowing desperately, he is the history of Qingzhou Thorn, he still has a good future, his family is full of gold and silver, and his wives and concubines are in groups, and he is reluctant to die!
"Hehe, don't misunderstand, the eldest prince is not going to send you to Huangquan Road, but to go home!" Xiao Yi hurriedly explained that he didn't want to kill someone, but really wanted to send him back to Qingzhou!
"Do you really want to let me go?" Yuan Tan looked incredulous, and there was a little hope, "Defeated and captured, according to the rules, I don't know how much ransom I want, the villain must hand it over, just to save his life!" ”
"Hehe, don't want a penny, the eldest prince will return to Qingzhou with peace of mind, and the two families will be reconciled from now on, and there will be no swordsmen!"
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
On the bank of the Yellow River, looking at the boats crossing the river, as well as the full number of soldiers on it, Yuan Tan couldn't believe his eyes, Xiao Yi really showed mercy to his subordinates and let them go home, this is incredible, look at the sun in the sky, or come out from the east!
Not only Yuan Tan, but tens of thousands of soldiers also had question marks in their minds, in their minds, their best fate was to dry sea salt, be whipped, sell coolies ......, and they were almost unlucky, cut off their heads with a knife, and threw them into the Yellow River to feed the fish, but they didn't expect to be able to go home and reunite with their relatives, and they didn't even ask for ransom!
"The majority of the governors are benevolent and righteous, and the little ones have kowtowed!"
"The Grand Governor Marquis Wandai, the villain will set up an immortal tablet for you when he goes back, and bow down day and night!"
"Dadudu, the Bodhisattva's heart, the villain will no longer dare to be an enemy of your old man~~ Woo!"
………………………………………………………………
On the bank of the river, countless soldiers knelt on the ground and thanked Xiao Yi, there is a 'killing god', it is clearly a living bodhisattva with a compassionate heart!
Good people do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west, Xiao Yi not only released Yuan Tan and tens of thousands of soldiers, but also gave them a generous gift~~ 3,000 stone refined salt!
"The Metropolitan Governor treats me so kindly, my son is terrified!" Looking at those snowflake-like refined salt, Yuan Tan was completely stupid, released people, sent salt, and didn't want any ransom, why did Xiao Yi take such care of him?
"Hehe, the Cao and Yuan families have always lived in harmony, and I also ask the eldest prince to say a few words to the general after he goes back, the world is suffering, and peace is precious!" Xiao Yat faced the surging river, revealing a compassionate appearance!
"The words of the Metropolitan Governor, this son keeps in mind, Cao and Yuan are the best in harmony, if there is an unfortunate day of fighting, as long as you see the banner of the Metropolitan Governor, this son should retreat to repay today's feelings!"
Before getting on the boat, Yuan Tan stood on the shore and bowed deeply, expressing his gratitude in his heart, of course, he still had a word to say...... "Let the tiger return to the mountain, he will come again in the future!" ”
"The eldest prince has gone all the way, the future is bleak, take care!" Xiao Yi waved his hand, and Xiao Hei's face was also full of smiles, "Let the tiger return to the mountain?" Hehe, I'm afraid it's the two tigers fighting, right! ”
