Chapter 65: The Killing of Prisoners is ominous

"Your Highness, you're too worried." It was a school captain who led the way for Li Zhen, and said with a smile when he heard this: "Your Highness doesn't know, don't look at this camp, it's actually very strong, and there are so many people to take care of it, if the captives really riot, it can last at least a quarter of an hour." It's not far from the barracks, and a quarter of an hour is enough time for us to move troops to suppress it, and it's still very safe. ”

"That's right, I forgot about the barracks."

"By the way, is it true that General Huo said that I can mobilize a thousand prisoners? If yes, give it to me, I'll be of some use. After inspecting the prisoner camp, Li Zhen lost interest and stated her purpose.

"A thousand captives is fine, but I just don't know what His Highness is going to do?" The lieutenant asked, and immediately said, "Of course, if it's any secret, it's a subordinate who didn't ask." ”

"It's not a secret, and it doesn't hurt to tell you, I want to take prisoners to let them dig a pit for me, dig a big pit." There's nothing that can't be said about this, and Li Zhen naturally won't hide it.

"Dig a pit?" The lieutenant is confused, what are you digging a pit for at this time?

"You just don't care, just give me the captive." Li Zhen didn't explain much, anyway, with his right, it was still okay to call a little prisoner, and he didn't need to tell people the reason at all, the reason why he said it was purely because what he was going to do was not secretive, and there was no need to hide it at all.

The lieutenant knew that he had asked a little too much, and hurriedly said, "Yes, please wait a moment, Your Highness." ”

The 1,000 captives were quickly assembled, escorted by 200 guards, and marched out of the camp.

Huo Chulou soon got the news, and immediately had a headache, because Li Jing had explained to him before leaving, telling him that nothing else was there, but to pay attention to His Royal Highness the King of Yue. He behaved so strangely that no one knew what he would do without seeing him go to the last step, but his personality was the same......

So before leaving, Li Jing repeatedly instructed that Li Zhen's request must be considered and considered, Huo Chulou also agreed, but when he really faced Li Zhen, Huo Chulou found that he still thought about things simply - Li Zhen is a long history (although he has no real power), theoretically he is the biggest in the camp now, when the commander is not there, he can have the right to be in charge of all military affairs, he knows that Li Zhen is just a name, but the people below don't know. What's more, in addition to his military position, Li Zhen is also the king of Yue in the Tang Dynasty, you Li Jing can refuse his request, and I'm afraid that he will wear small shoes for me afterwards...... Therefore, based on various concerns, Huo Chulou agreed without having time to think about it after Li Zhen made a request, but when Li Zhen started to do things, he regretted it again...... hurriedly put down the matter at hand and rushed to Li Zhen.

Along the way, the captives were not honest, constantly struggling to resist and curse, and some tried to attack the soldiers or escape, if it were not for the straw rope in the middle, I was afraid that someone would have run away.

At first, Li Zhen thought that the captives were too reckless, and were about to kill a few monkeys to deter the chickens, but someone who knew Turkic told Li Zhen that the captives had misunderstood, and they thought that they were preparing to kill them by leading them out - this is the rule of the grassland, the victor has the right to deal with everything of the loser, and the rule on the grassland is that half of the victors will kill all the young and old and weak among the losers, leaving only women and children, they think that Li Zhen is the same, so they react so violently.

Li Zhen was stunned, but she didn't explain much, because although she didn't mean to kill, the fate of these people in the future may not be as good as death, not to mention that they will know the specific situation after a while.

The camp is very large, because it is in the mountainous area, so the distribution is very loose, and after walking for a quarter of an hour, Li Zhen is really impatient, and directly chooses a place on the spot to prepare to dig a pit, and a thousand prisoners are divided into three groups, each group has more than 300 people, and the three big pits are built at the same time.

With the help of a translator who knew Turkic, the captives also understood what Li Zhen meant, it turned out that the Tang army did not want to kill themselves, but needed to dig a pit with their hands. In an instant, the captives' mood calmed down, and they honestly took the tools and began to work.

"Your Highness, what the hell are you doing?" Huo Chulou should have come a long time ago, but he was stopped by another thing halfway, and it was not solved until just now, and when he came, the big pit had already dug out the outline.

"Such a big pit? Could it be that His Highness is preparing to bury the body? That's right, on this hot day, if you don't bury it as soon as possible, I'm afraid that it will stink in a few days. Huo Chulou guessed, because the pit that Li Zhen asked to dig was very large, otherwise it would not take more than 100 people (two shifts) to work together, the diameter alone reached 30 zhang, and the depth was 10 zhang deep, such a big pit, in Huo Chulou's opinion, could only be used to bury the body.

"Who told you I was going to bury the body? If I bury the body, what else is the body team doing? Li Zhen glanced at Huo Chulou, bury the corpse, you really think about the beauty.

"Then what is Your Highness going to do?"

"Of course it's burying people."

“...... Is there a difference? "At a certain moment, Huo Chulou really wanted to hit someone.

"Gee, you'll know then." Li Zhen said impatiently: "You have this spare time, it is better to transfer a few thousand more captives to me, so that I can dig a few more." ”

“...... This ......" Huo Chulou hadn't figured out what Li Zhen meant, but a person next to him suddenly knelt down.

I saw Li Ergou hugging Li Zhen's thighs fiercely, crying and persuading: "Your Highness, Your Highness can't, it has been ominous to kill prisoners since ancient times, there is Bai Qi in the front and Xiang Yu in the back, you know what happened to them, we can't learn from them." ”

"What? Kill prisoners? "Huo Chulou's mind suddenly sounded 'boom', everything was figured out, yes, digging a pit is used to bury people, but it is not four people who are buried, in this case, what else can it be besides a living person?

'Poof', Huo Chulou also knelt down, holding Li Zhen's other leg and persuading him bitterly: "Your Highness, Brother Li is right, since ancient times, killing prisoners is ominous, and it is the most bad luck, and the fate of Bai Qi and Xiang Yu is not very good." ”

The rest of the people also understood what Li Zhen was going to do, and immediately fell to their knees, and they all persuaded hard.

"Your Highness, there is still enough grain and grass in our army, enough for a million troops to eat for a few months, and there is no shortage of food, so why should Your Highness do such a thing that harms others and is not beneficial to yourself?"

"Yes, Your Highness, these captives are all of the best and strongest, and it would be a pity to kill them like this."

"Your Highness, you are a nobleman, you are a role model in the world, and you should set an example, if it is rumored that you killed prisoners, it will not only damage your reputation, Your Highness, but also cause other countries to misunderstand my Tang Dynasty."

"Your Highness thinks twice......"

"Your Highness......"

"Your Highness......"

“......”
