Placement to the rear?

The rear is not stable at the moment, and these people get to the rear, in case of chaos, it will be a trouble.

Send it to the four northwestern provinces?

Although the journey was not far, it was impossible to send troops and horses to escort them back.

There were not many soldiers and horses under Yang Da's command, and some of them had to be assigned to escort the prisoners, which was too expensive for the army.

What to do?

Yang Da faced tens of thousands of captives, frowned and thought for a long time, and only came up with a way.

Pit kill!

Subconsciously, Yang Da looked at the eyes of the captives, and he had a little more killing intent.

What kind of humanitarianism is never on Yang Da's list.

Killing captives has been practiced since ancient times.

Why did people slaughter Baiqi to kill 400,000 soldiers of Zhao State on the battlefield?

Is it because he likes to kill?

No!

Bai Qi is from a common people's background, how can he be the kind of person who disregards the lives of others?

The reason why the pit is killed is that so many people are killed.

There must be a reason.

As far as General Bai Qi is concerned, it must be related to the war.

It must be a war need.

This is not to whitewash the whitewash, but to illustrate a fact.

For example, when the Zhao army's grain and grass were exhausted, and the Qin army's grain and grass were also stretched, Bai Qi had to kill.

During the Warring States Period, although the Qin State was very strong, it did not mean that the Qin people were very rich.

Relatively speaking, in fact, the Qin State was very poor at that time.

Poor naturally can't afford to raise so many prisoners, and they can't be put back to watch Zhao rearm his forces and continue to grow bigger, so there is only one way left.

At this moment, Yang Da also felt that there seemed to be only one way left in front of him.

Tzu is not in charge of the army.

These four words are easy to say.

But only when you really feel the true meaning of these four words can you know how bloody these four words are.

Yang Da took a deep breath and raised his hand, ready to make a difficult decision.

"General Yanping......"

At the critical moment, Chen Yao, who had followed Yang Da's footsteps, appeared in front of Yang Da.

Yang Da frowned and looked at Chen Yao unhappily, "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Yao lowered his voice and leaned into Yang Da's ear, "The general wants to kill the prisoner......

Yang Da narrowed his eyes, glanced at Chen Yao, and nodded.

Chen Yao smiled in a low voice and said, "It's a pity to kill ......"

Yang Dahu's eyes widened, revealing a sharp light, "What do you mean?" ”

Chen Yao patiently explained to Yang Da: "General Yanping, although our four northwestern provinces are prosperous, they have always been short of people, especially labor. Huhou's skills are superb, and the four prefectures in the northwest have expanded from the original two prefectures to the four prefectures, and it seems that they are about to expand to five mansions, or even six mansions, or even more.

Although the roads, bridges, water conservancy and other infrastructure of Datong and Fuxing are complete, the roads, bridges, water conservancy and other infrastructure of Dongsheng and Xixia and other provinces in the future are not yet complete.

However, these places are new and relatively sparsely populated. So, it takes a lot of labor to help.

Moreover, Huhou also secretly ordered someone to expand the weapons workshop, and iron ore and coal mines were needed to refine weapons.

We need a lot of labor to mine.

There is also the southern country, which is rich in minerals in the mountains and forests, and also requires a lot of labor.

All in all, we are very short of labor, a large number of laborers. ”

The fierce light in Yang Dahu's eyes faded a lot, but his brows were twisted, "But it takes a lot of time to send people to escort these captives, and you also need to free up some troops."

You should know that there are not many soldiers and horses on our expedition this time, and every soldier and pawn has his use. There was not a single force to escort them. ”

Chen Yao smiled knowingly and reminded: "Isn't there still 70,000 people available?" Although they are people, they are no different from soldiers. ”

Yang Da was stunned for a moment and smiled, "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have really regarded them as ordinary people." That's it, the captives will be handed over to you, and you will watch and deal with them. ”

After a pause, Yang Da said again: "I have to remind you that these Liao people are not fuel-efficient lamps. Once they are given the opportunity to jump on horseback, they can be transformed into fierce warriors in an instant. ”

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Chen Yao smiled in a low voice, "Don't worry, I have the means to deal with them." ”

Chen Yao is an official promoted by Yang Qi from the bottom, although his previous political achievements are not outstanding, but he has gone smoothly and steadily, and he has done things neatly.

Yang Da has made a lot of friends with Chen Yao and understands Chen Yao.

Since Chen Yao said that there was a way to deal with the captives, then Yang Da also believed him.

With Yang Da's approval, Chen Yao immediately dispatched a team of 10,000 people to help him escort the prisoners.

Captive.

Long before the war, Chen Yao was eyeing it.

If you want Shuozhou and Huanzhou to prosper rapidly in the future, there are many things that need to be built.

The population of Shuozhou and Huanzhou has been sparse after years of war and several population raids in the four northwestern provinces.

Relying on them to build the two states, I don't know that I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

It's not the same with captives.

Prisoners who have no human rights, Chen Yao can use them casually, and he doesn't have to pay them wages, he can spur them to work for a day by giving them a thin meal and a dry meal every day.

Run away?

Fight on horseback?

Hey!

Break the hamstring of one of their feet and see where they can run.

If you are well pressed and enslaved, you may be able to die a good life.

If they are not obedient, they will be sold to the Fold family, or to the wild beggar tribe.

The Zhejia is intentionally or unintentionally imitating the construction of the four northwestern prefectures, so the Zhejia also needs a large number of labor.

Since the previous battle, the wild beggar tribe has broken their muscles and bones, and now they can't even get together the wranglers.

It is said that now the wild beggar tribe has begun to metamorphose into the trend of women in charge of the house.

Men have begun to fall for their spoils.

Due to the fact that there were many monks and few meats in the wild beggar tribes, these laborers were trafficked and had to be squeezed dry not only during the day, but also at night.

There are also mines in the south that are hidden deep in the mountains, and they also need people.

It's more of a place to eat people and don't spit out bones.

It is said that all the mines in the southern country were the Shura farms of the captives.

So far, none of the captives who have gone in have come out alive.

All in all, Chen Yao will not only use these captives, but also squeeze all the value out of them.

Its purpose is to build Shuozhou and Huanzhou, which have been ruined by them.

Chen Yao's thoughts, Yang Da couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to figure it out.

His goal and purpose is to fight.

After clearing the enemies of the city in front of him, the rest of the work such as pacifying and rebuilding was all Chen Yao's.

All the trivial matters were handed over to Chen Yao.

Yang Da rode his horse to the gate of the city with great ease, and looked at the soldiers under his command who were carrying the captured bags and smirking, he frowned and asked, "What about the city lord of this city?" ”

A soldier immediately responded with a smile: "When Chen Ergou's cub snatched the golden knife from someone's waist, they didn't agree, so he slaughtered them with one knife." ”
