Chapter 268: The Bodhisattva's Heart, the Butcher's Method (I)

m.。 In the fourth year of Jian'an - summer, May 27 - the day of the great break, the fierce god was on duty, the white tiger pressed the green dragon, the evil spirit rushed into the hall of fame, the earth was tragically destroyed, and the blood in the world flowed like a river, which was the most vicious day of the year...... However, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, yin and yang are born together, and there is a glimmer of life in all kinds of killing!

At dawn - the sun rose in the east, the first rays of sunlight entered the tent, Xiao Yi immediately woke up, jumped up from the soft couch, wore only a single coat, walked outside the tent, stretched his body, moved his muscles, enjoyed the baptism of the sun, drove away the darkness in his heart, and the anger brought by the war!

At the same time, the attendants sprang into action, lighting fires, boiling water, and cooking...... Everything was in order, and after a few moments, two bowls of corn porridge, six wild eggs, and a piece of pickled venison...... All went into his stomach, Xiao Yi returned to the sleeping tent, and after bathing his body under the service of Zhao Yu and Daoxiang, he changed into a set of gossip robes!

At the back of the big tent, there is a separate space with a Nanmu incense case, where gold bottles, copper stoves, and incense candles are placed...... All kinds of sacrificial things, on which enshrined a portrait of an old Taoist priest, with a pale beard and a bright head, kind eyes, holding a dust, and carrying a sword on his side, as if a fairy descended to earth, it was Xiao Yi's mentor - out of the dust, and there was a couplet hanging on both sides:

Shanglian: Great benevolence and righteousness, one breath and three cleans, save the people of the Quartet!

Downlink: Fearless, subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger, cultivating the golden immortal who will not be destroyed by ten thousand calamities!

Horizontal batch: Heaven does not kill!

"The spirit of the teacher is immortal, looking down on the world, since the disciple came out of the mountain, he has assisted the heroes of the world, swept away the princes of the Quartet, the two armies were on the battlefield, ten swings and ten decisions, under the sword, the corpse mountain and the river of blood...... The disciples have not forgotten the teachings, fighting for peace, killing people only to save people, preserving a single thought of benevolence, and not being a crazy butcher......"

Whenever before and after the war, Xiao Yat will set up an altar, kneel three times and bow nine times, burn incense and worship, one is to sacrifice to the old master, thank you for years of cultivation; The second is to always remind yourself not to lose your heart and become a bloodthirsty demon in the boundless killing!

If you want to pacify Kyushu and become the co-lord of the world, you must understand a truth, the purpose of waging war is to end the war as soon as possible, and the means of ruthless killing are to save more people, otherwise, even if you win a hundred battles and kill countless people, you are just Bai Qi and Xiang Yu's generation, and they can only dominate for a while, and finally end miserably!

After the sacrifice, Xiao Yi returned to the big tent, took off the gossip robe, put on the Chiyou ghost helmet, the claw cold iron armor, holding the sword and the greedy wolf knife on the waist and crotch, the originally amiable little Taoist priest instantly became a murderous Sima, one yin and one yang, one good and one evil, coexisting, all of them are their hearts!

"Woo! --Woo! Woo! ”

At three o'clock in the morning, the sky was bright, Xiao Yi rode a horse, a golden eagle on his shoulder, surrounded by a group of generals, holding high the 'Golden Wolf Head Daxu Flag', and began to march towards the black nest, to deal with the problem of prisoners, at the same time, the horns continued, piercing the clouds, one after another military orders came out, and the people and horses of all departments moved when they heard the wind......

The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry all dispatched, the hard bow was wound, the long knife was unsheathed, occupied the Yellow River crossing, controlled all the ships, and set up sentry posts, patrolled everywhere, and formed a blockade line on the periphery of Wuchaoze, within a radius of 100 miles, no one was allowed to enter!

Modao soldiers, trapped camps, Danyang soldiers, Xiliang soldiers, Xuzhou soldiers, digging soldiers...... After the various departments assembled, they held sharp blades, lined up in a neat military formation, and entered Wuchaoze one after another, with a total strength of more than 120,000, all of which were elite divisions in the army, enough to deter hundreds of thousands of prisoners, so that they did not dare to act rashly!

"Ghost-faced Xiao Lang is here...... I'm afraid something big is going to happen? ”

"The god of killing is out, is that? …… Above you, that black-faced young man! ”

…………………………………………

Wuchao Zezhong - hundreds of thousands of captives are talking, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, the current thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, who doesn't know the name of 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang', this killing god came with troops, I'm afraid it's not good?

Seeing Xiao Yi's figure, the captives were even more panicked, and some people were terrified and trembling, and they didn't dare to look up; Some people turn their eyes and want to gather people to make trouble, but unfortunately they can't succeed, on the one hand: there are thousands of troops around, the surveillance is impenetrable, and there is no chance to make trouble at all; On the other hand, the captives just want to make trouble, but they are also powerless, because they are so hungry that they have no strength......

Cao Jun has always been short of food and grass, the soldiers are still half hungry and half full, that excess food, feed hundreds of thousands of prisoners, since they were imprisoned in Wuchaoze, two bowls of gruel and a few wild vegetable dumplings every day...... It's just barely starving to death, and he doesn't have the strength to do anything else, so Cao Jun saves food and avoids the captives from making trouble, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!

After the people and horses were arranged, Xiao Yi climbed the high platform and sat in the center, and the generals were arranged in turn: Da Niu, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Zhang Xiu, Yu Ban, Song Xian, Wei Xu, Cao Xing...... They are all fierce generals in the army, and they are also confidants!

In addition, Zhang He and Gao Ran were also among them, they took the initiative to follow, they were uneasy along the way, and they wanted to plead several times, but they were afraid of offending the power of the 'God of Killing' and leading to greater disasters, they had already discussed, if Xiao Yi really killed the prisoners, they would live and die with the old department!

"Someone's coming...... Serve the food, distribute it to the people, let them eat and drink to their heart's content, and it's not too late to listen to orders! ”

Xiao Yi waved his hand, and a firehead army appeared behind him, carrying baskets of flatbread, steamed buns, and rice...... There is also fragrant broth, as the saying goes, when you are full, you don't want to go home, and if you want to appease the hearts of your captives, there is nothing better than food!

"Purr! …… Snore! Snore! ”

The captives had been hungry for a long time, and when they saw the fragrant food, they still endured it, and they gathered around them, and the food was extraordinarily sweet, and of course, there were some smart people, who were secretly thinking about it while eating......

According to the practice on the battlefield, there are only two possibilities for the captives to have a full meal: one is to eat a full meal before they are released, and then have the strength to walk back; The second is that before the head hits the ground, eat a severed meal, so as not to be a 'starving ghost', the current situation, the second possibility is greater......

At the thought that after eating enough, they might lose their lives, the captives suddenly panicked, and some covered their faces with their hands, crying incessantly, missing their relatives in the distance; There are also people with fierce personalities, quietly picking up a few stones, ready to fight to the death!

All things are born with the heart of survival, before the chick is knifed, it has to flutter a few wings, not to mention the big living people, hundreds of thousands of young and strong captives, if they work together, even if they can't break out of the encirclement, they can fight for a river of blood, it's better than being slaughtered, right?

"The soldiers of Qing, You, Hebei, and the four states, the Yuan father and son are tyrannical and unreasonable, and they are reckless, and now they are defeated and fleeing, but they are to blame, and the prime minister conforms to the will of the people, and will not send troops to the Northern Expedition in the future, and the day of Yuan's demise is not far away!

However, the living beings in the four states are innocent, many soldiers are innocent, and those who submit to the imperial court should stand up on their own, and those who are willing to enlist in the army will be given armor and blades to serve the country from now on, and those who are disgusted with fighting on the battlefield will be distributed to the fields, ploughing cattle, and seeds...... From now on, farming for a living, living and working in peace and contentment! ”

Da Sima has an order: inform the soldiers of Qing, You, Hebei, and the four states......

Da Sima has an order: inform the soldiers of Qing, You, Hebei, and the four states......

……………………………………………………

On the stage, Xiao Yi began to speak, every time he said a word, the soldiers shouted, and the sound was like thunder, rolling and spreading, ensuring that every captive could hear it clearly......

"The Yuan clan is tyrannical and unreasonable, and it should have perished a long time ago!"

"Da Sima Shenwei is invincible, we are willing to follow his command and fight to the ends of the earth!"

……………………………………

Yuan's father and son were mean and unkind, and they had long lost the hearts of the people of Hebei, after listening to Xiao Yi's shouting, many people were moved, and they knelt on the ground one after another, expressing their willingness to submit to the court and join the command of Da Sima!

When the world was in turmoil, when they made meritorious contributions, many Hebei children took Xiao Lang as an example, left their hometown with blades and horses, and threw themselves into the army, wanting to kill a piece of glory and wealth, so they admired Xiao Yi extraordinarily, and now they have the opportunity to devote themselves to their command, and they are naturally willing to do it!

In addition, there are many prisoners who are alone, unconcerned guys, who can't live there, Hebei is harsh on taxes and miscellaneous taxes, there are as many as cattle hair, and it is difficult for the people to survive, it is better to stay under the rule of Cao Jun and cultivate the land well, the life here is much better......

"Long! …… Prosperous! Prosperous! ”

After a while, the people who volunteered to stay stood up, and the black pressure was endless, at least more than 100,000 people, so many prisoners, who would be in charge, if it was not arranged properly, maybe something would happen?

"Where is Zhang He, Gao Ran? …… These people will be entrusted to you, and the strong will enlist in the army and fight in all directions, and the thin and weak will settle down in the people and live and work in peace and contentment, as for the necessary armaments, money, food, cattle, and seeds...... Someone will send it, so don't worry about anything! ”

To surrender the generals, lead the surrendered troops, no doubt from top to bottom, one heart and one mind, this is Xiao Yi's courage, what he wants is not only to collect prisoners, but more importantly, to return the hearts of the people!

"Thank you Da Sima for your trust and entrustment of such a heavy responsibility, the two of us will do our best, and we will not dare to slack off a little, and in the future, the military flag will point to it, and we will not give up!"

Zhang He, Gao Ran was overjoyed, hurriedly stepped forward to receive the order, and paid homage with a big salute, the original Prime Minister Cao Cheng was broad-minded, able to tolerate the world of Kyushu, today I know that the ghost face Xiao Lang's mind and courage are more than that!

The two were originally famous generals in Hebei, known as prestige in the Yuan army, leading hundreds of thousands of prisoners, and soon left Wuchaoze, went to the new camp to settle, left the strong and the weak, reorganized the team, and prepared to show their skills in the future war, and establish a meritorious career!

Next, Xiao Yi issued a second order: "All prisoners under the age of eighteen, over forty years old, and those who are wounded and disabled, each receive a dry ration and a string of copper coins, and return to their hometown in Hebei, and they will not be hindered along the way!" ”

ruthless as 'killing gods' Bai Qi, when he killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers, he also let go of 240 young people, leaving a glimmer of life, and now Xiao Yi is extraordinarily gracious, releasing some old, weak, sick and disabled, naturally there is no problem, even the surrounding generals are also frequently nodding in approval......

"Da Sima - benevolence and love, unparalleled in the world!"

"Little ones - thank you Dade, never forget!"

……………………………………

Yuan Shao was reckless, forcibly requisitioned Hebei people, there was no lack of old and weak people in the army, plus the wounded soldiers, the two added up to more than 100,000 people, after hearing the order, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, tears of gratitude, and then received dry food, copper coins, lined up in a neat line, and left Wuchaoze smoothly......

Of course, there are also people who are strong and uninjured and painless, who want to take the opportunity to sneak out, and naturally there is no need to be polite to treat such treacherous people.

The sincerely obedient stayed, the old, weak, sick and disabled let go, and the number of captives dropped by half, next, Xiao Yi held the sword in his hand, his eyes were cold, and he was about to kill, if he wanted to become the co-master of the world, he must have the virtue of forgiving the world, and he must also have the ruthlessness of slaughtering the world, so that he can rule the world and hold the world!
