Chapter 65: Guan Gong Kills the Prisoner

"Adou, how sure do you think we are going to Xiangyang?" Guan Yu asked.

Adou stretched out five fingers: "It's only five or five!" ”

Guan Yu nodded: "Okay, five or five is enough!" Ping'er, send an order to the soldiers of the three armies, prepare to go! ”

"Yes!" Guan Ping replied and was about to go out, when Zhang Wei stood up next to him and said, "General, what should the more than 2,000 Jiangdong prisoners do?" ”

"And two thousand captives?" Guan Yu was stunned and asked.

"General, these two thousand people are the Jiangdong Army that we have captured, and now they are all tied up in the camp and have not yet been disposed of!"

Guan Yu nodded, and said to Liao Hua next to him: "Liao Hua, you go and deal with this matter, everyone will be killed!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Liao Hua did not hesitate at all and walked out.

Hearing the words "all pit killing", Adou gasped. I didn't expect Guan Yu to be so ruthless, this sentence cost 2,000 lives.

Adou peeked at the people next to him and found that everyone didn't react, as if killing these two thousand captives was commonplace, and everyone's expressions were calm and there was no wave at all.

Speaking of which, although Adou has learned the art of war, he doesn't know anything about dealing with prisoners. Xu Shu and Pang Tong also did not teach Adou how to dispose of the captives. In his previous life, Adou had never been on the battlefield, and he had little experience in how to deal with prisoners. If Adou will order Zhang Wei to tie up all the captives and wait for disposal.

In ancient times, especially after the Warring States period and before the Tang Dynasty, it was normal to kill prisoners. Before the Tang Dynasty, there were many records of mass killings of prisoners. Not to mention a few thousand people, there are many records of killing more than 100,000 people at once. For example, Bai Qi, after winning the Battle of Changping, killed 400,000 troops of Zhao State in one fell swoop.

In addition, there are many advantages to killing prisoners, and it is a pity to weaken the enemy's power and save food and grass for yourself. And the large-scale killing of prisoners can also deter the enemy and make the enemy fear himself.

In Confucianism, "benevolence" is the central idea, Confucianism believes that killing prisoners is against benevolence, so Confucianism believes that the killing of prisoners is unknown, although since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism, but the killing of prisoners has not stopped for hundreds of years.

Now Adou's captives are all Jiangdong Army, these people have grown up in Jiangdong since childhood, even if they surrender to the Shu Army, they will miss Jiangdong in their hearts, and they will inevitably become deserters after a long time, and if these people flee back to Jiangdong, they will become the combat power of Dongwu.

And now Guan Yu is on the run, even if he surrenders these Jiangdong troops, it is a time bomb to put it around. If these Jiangdong troops come back at a critical moment, it will be troublesome. What's more, these two thousand people also have to consume grain and grass, and now Adou is alone in the depths, although he has brought a lot of grain and grass, but he can't waste it. So Guan Yu simply took a method once and for all and killed them all.

As a general, Guan Yu naturally has this decision, and in Guan Yu's eyes, killing two thousand people is naturally not a big deal. Tens of thousands of people in the flooded Seventh Army were drowned, not to mention that there were only 2,000 people in this area, but Adou was different, Adou also understood these truths, but Adou was a person in the rivers and lakes in his previous life, although he also killed many people, but it was far from thousands, but now he killed 2,000 people at once, Adou really didn't have this kind of decision.

"Second uncle, what should Zhu Ran do with it?" Adou asked.

"Zhu Ran? Bring him up! Guan Yu said.

After a while, Zhu Ran was brought up. When Zhu Ran came to the camp, he saw Guan Yu sitting in the middle at a glance, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

Lu Meng tried his best to arrange a big trap, the purpose was to kill Guan Yu, but now Guan Yu appeared in front of him, which means that Lu Meng's plan has failed!

"Zhu Ran, are you willing to surrender?" Guan Yu habitually stroked his beard and asked.

Hearing this, Zhu Ran shook his head helplessly: "General Guan, I, Zhu Ran, am deeply favored by Wu Hou, and I will never surrender." General Guan, give me a good time! ”

In fact, Zhu Ran didn't say one thing, that is, if he died, Sun Quan might still treat his family well, but if he surrendered, his family would be over, and he would be enslaved at best, or lose his life.

"Okay, you Zhu Ran is also a man!" Guan Yu nodded, Guan Yu looked down on those villains who sold for glory the most, Guan Yu still respected people like Zhu Ran in his heart, so he said to Zhou Cang next to him: "Zhou Cang, pull Zhu Ran down and behead him!" ”

"The last general commands!" Zhou Cang walked over and pulled Zhu Ran out, and after a while, Zhou Cang walked in with a bloody human head, which was Zhu Ran's!

Seeing all this, Adou's lips couldn't help twitching. Guan Yu is worthy of Guan Yu, he killed decisively, and in this short moment, he took the lives of 2,000 people plus a Jiangdong general Zhu Ran. If you do all this yourself, I'm afraid you won't be as clean as Guan Yu.

Zhu Ran is a general, wise and brave, it is really a pity to kill like this. But thinking about Guan Yu, even a general like Pang De said that he would kill him, Adou was relieved.

Thinking of this, Adou sighed secretly in his heart: Maybe this is what a famous general should look like!

Looking at Zhu Ran's head dripping blood down, Adou sighed, although he killed Zhu Ran now, the road ahead of him is still difficult to walk, Xiangyang City Cao Jun will come out to intercept him, and Lu Meng will definitely not let go of himself, he will inevitably pursue with all his strength, it seems that the situation is not getting better, but more serious.

If you can kill Lu Meng, the situation will be better!

Thinking of killing Lu Meng, Adou's eyes flashed, and he thought about it.

"Second uncle, I have a plan, maybe I can capture Lu Meng!" Adou said to Guan Yu.

When Guan Yu heard about the capture of Lu Meng, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Adou, come quickly!" ”

So Adou told his plan again, but Guan Yu frowned after hearing it, and only said after a long time: "Adou, this matter is too dangerous, if you have any accidents, how can I explain to my brother, such a thing is better for my uncle!" ”

"Second uncle, you can't go, who will command the army if you go. Besides, this matter really needs to be dealt with by my uncle in the middle, so I'll go to this matter! ”

"In that case, you can ride my red rabbit horse!" Guan Yu said.

Zhou Cang next to him was slightly stunned, Zhou Cang has been with Guan Yu for many years, and he has never seen Guan Yu take the initiative to lend the red rabbit horse to others, on weekdays, Guan Ping and Guan Xing want to ride Guan Yu's red rabbit horse, Guan Yu is reluctant!

Adou shook his head: "Second uncle, my riding skills are too poor, even if I ride a red rabbit horse, I don't have to run too fast, and this plan also requires people with strong martial arts to ambush in Xiangjiang, and I use to run faster than riding a horse." ”

Guan Yu nodded: "In this case, Adou, you must be careful, if you can do it, you can't go back immediately!" Let's plan again......"
