Chapter 437: Afraid of stabbing a black knife in the back
Cao Shuo's words made all the Zhang Xiujun soldiers present circled.
The reason for not killing them is because the decapitation meal is too rich......
Jia Xu stepped forward and shouted to the captives: "Gongzi is joking with you, from the moment the army entered the city, the war was over, and Gongzi never thought of killing you." ”
The captives looked at Jia Xu blankly.
Jia Xu continued: "Gongzi has already forgiven General Zhang's sins, not to mention that you are just following the general. The boundaries that used to be under the management of General Zhang now belong to the Cao family! From now on, you will also be surnamed Cao, how can the son be willing to kill his own people? ”
"Jia Gong, really don't kill us?" A captive officer asked timidly.
"Of course not!" Jia Xu said: "Gongzi specially prepared meat for you, don't you eat it?" ”
Looking at the large wooden barrel containing the rice, the captives swallowed their saliva one by one.
Without worrying about their lives, many of them felt hungry.
"Why don't you eat yet?" Jia Xu urged.
The captives flocked to the barrels.
Cao Jun, who was transporting the wooden barrels, was cooking for them, and Jia Xu shouted: "Soldiers, you are eating, and the son has something to say to you." ”
I don't know what Cao Shuo is going to say, but the captives are still a little worried.
The captives who held the rice bowl did not eat, and all their eyes looked at Cao Shuo.
The captives, who were still waiting to receive their meals, also lined up and looked at him.
"Actually, this meal, for many of you, is a meal for us to get acquainted with, and it is also a meal to say goodbye." Cao Shuo said: "You should all know that I am the second son of the Cao family. Although I have defeated the county, it is impossible for me to keep all of you in the army, and most of you will be distributed to my father's army. And all I need here is a thousand! ”
When Cao Shuo said that he was saying goodbye, the captive's heart hung in his throat.
The reason why he said goodbye was that there were many people going to Cao Cao's army, and the prisoners were immediately relieved.
Being a soldier is just to fill their stomachs, as long as they don't cut off their heads now, it's the same for whoever fights.
"In addition to the soldiers who have been allocated to my father's army and the soldiers I want to leave behind, there are also some people who will be given land and will live a peaceful life from sunrise to sunset." Cao Shuo's next sentence made the eyes of many captives suddenly light up.
If they have land, why do they need to come out as soldiers to eat.
However, Cao Shuo's next sentence was like giving most people a bucket of cold water: "I know that if you have to choose for yourself, at least eighty percent of people will choose land." I can only say to these people, don't dream, there are conditions for getting land. ”
"Those who are over forty years old and under fifteen years old should go back to the master register and register with them." Cao Shuo said: "If you are too old, you should go home to recuperate, but if you are too young, the hair under the crotch of your legs has not yet been tied, so you will learn to fight with others, it is still too early." ”
Cao Shuo's words were relaxed, and the prisoner, who had been worried before, let out a burst of laughter.
"Actually, I'm a person who hates war." Cao Shuo said: "Some people say that I use soldiers like a god, and some people say that meeting me on the battlefield is a nightmare. However, once I have succeeded in my life, I have built up countless lives that want to live like you. No matter how high the glory is, I can't be happy. ”
He suddenly changed his tone, and the tone of his speech also became low, and Zhang Xiujun's captives lowered their heads one by one.
"Sometimes I think, why should there be a fight between people?" Cao Shuo said again: "Everyone is happy to live, and they don't grab or fight, how good it would be." ”
There was no end in sight to the black pressure of the prisoners who were being held here, and when Cao Shuo spoke, the scene was so quiet that even the sound of people breathing could be heard.
"Although I often have such thoughts, I have to go to the battlefield to fight, and I have to command the soldiers to kill." Cao Shuo said: "Because if I don't kill you, you will kill me!" ”
The captives who were still in line silently received the meal, and the captives who had already received the meal bowed their heads, and none of them went to eat the fragrant meat and corn in the bowl.
"We used to be enemies, and when we went to the battlefield, our eyes were red like crickets in heat." Cao Shuo said: "Okay now, you will become your own people with me." From now on, those who remain in the army are the soldiers of the Cao family, and those who leave the army are the people of the Cao family! I'm looking forward to fighting with you in the future, and today I just want to ask you, believe me or not? Are you willing to serve the Cao family? ”
"Childe!" There was silence for a moment, and after a moment one of the captive officers asked, "Do you believe us?" Aren't you afraid that we will stab you with a black knife on the battlefield? ”
"From the time I said these words, I have regarded you as my own!" Cao Shuo smiled and shouted, "As long as you believe in me, I will also give you all my trust." When I go to the battlefield, I will stick my back to you as if I were with my veterans! ”
Trust is often more powerful than money.
The scene was quiet for a moment, and Cao Shuo was afraid of being stabbed with a black knife, and the captive shouted: "Childe, I'll do it with you!" ”
"I'll do it with Childe too!" Someone took the lead, and immediately more people shouted.
More and more people responded, Cao Shuo nodded with satisfaction and said, "You eat first, and I will let people distribute you clearly." If you should leave the army and return to your hometown to farm, I will distribute the coils. Someone will take over you who will remain under my command. As for the future will be incorporated into my father's army, as long as I stand by in place, I will be able to return to Xu Du when the time comes. ”
"Follow Childe!" Someone raised their arms and shouted.
A strange scene took place in the place where the prisoners were held.
The prisoners, who were originally hostile to Cao Shuo, raised their arms and shouted "Follow Gongzi".
The captives were in high spirits, and they were a little stronger than when Zhang Xiu had been mobilized out of the city earlier.
Leaving from the place where the prisoners were held, Cao Shuo instructed Pang Tong, who was following him: "Screening the prisoners, whether to keep them or release them is up to you." ”
"Let those over forty and fifteen years old." Pang Tong said: "Select the most elite 1,000 people to supplement the Gongzi, and bring the rest back to Xu Du and hand them over to Cao Gong." Is Childe planning to do so? ”
glanced at him, but Cao Shuo did not respond.
Pang Tong didn't ask any more questions, said goodbye, turned around and walked back to the place where the prisoners were held.
"When does Childe plan to return to Xudu?" Accompanying Cao Shuo out of the barracks, Jia Xu asked.
"There's still some work to be done here." Cao Shuo said: "The war has just ended, and both me and the soldiers need to rest for some days. At least ten days later, we will return to Xudu. ”
