Chapter 1293: We Are Humans, Not Beasts
Outside Wuyuan City, the soldiers of the Cao Army were cleaning the battlefield.
The 50,000 Huns who entered Wuyuan were all exterminated by Cao's army in the last battle out of the city.
It's not that no Huns surrendered, it's just that the Cao soldiers who didn't accept the surrender didn't pay attention to whether the Huns had laid down their weapons or not.
Regardless of whether they surrender or not, as long as they meet the Huns, the Cao army will be killed, and not even half of them will be left.
Outside the city of Wuyuan, the corpses of the Huns piled up in a mountain were stacked together by the soldiers of the Cao army, poured oil and burned to ashes.
Cao Shuo, who returned to Wuyuan City, went directly to the official mansion.
Coming to the backyard of the official mansion and returning to the room where he had lived before, Cao Shuo instructed Cai Ji: "You can send someone to find the Wuyuan County Guard, and let him bring the people to the house." ”
Cai Ji responded and was about to leave, when Cao Shuo confessed again: "Let General Lu lead 5,000 cavalry to escort them, the people are unarmed, and you can't let the Huns spill their grievances on them." ”
After Cai Ji left, Cao Shuo sat in the room and looked at the map he carried with him.
Although the terrain around the Hetao is clearly marked, the specific location of the Xiongnu court and the various Xiongnu tribes is not marked on this map.
The Xiongnu are a nomadic tribe with a long history, and Cao Shuo knows very well that even if he does not destroy the Xiongnu, this nation will be submerged by the years in the long river of history in the future.
Just looking at the map, Tian Feng walked in from outside the door.
After saluting Cao Shuo, Tian Feng asked, "When does the prince plan to advance into the Hetao?" ”
"The soldiers fought hard, and they rested for two days." Cao Shuo said: "I don't know if Ma Mengqi has found the Xiongnu royal court." ”
"Dare to ask Gongzi, do you not plan to leave a little way for the Huns?" Tian Feng asked again.
"To tell you the truth, it's not just the Huns that I'm going to destroy." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to Tian Feng: "I also know what Yuan Hao wants to say. However, Yuan Hao also knew what I came to the Hetao for this time. Since the decline of the imperial power of the Han Dynasty, the heroes of various places have fought against each other, and the national strength has been weak. At the beginning, there was a strong Han Dynasty, and the Huns didn't dare to do anything. They have been recuperating for many years, and now it is the climate. If we don't press them down while they are just raising their heads, we will suffer from them sooner or later. ”
"I understand what Childe said." Tian Feng said: "However, if you continue to kill like this, I am afraid that the Huns will ......."
"The Huns killed our people, we just hated the root of our teeth, what can we do with them?" Cao Shuo said: "After a long time, they will develop a habit that killing Central Plains people is as casual as slaughtering pigs and dogs. They kill as much as they want, and we dare not do anything to them. When I came to the Hetao this time, I just wanted to let them know what it was like to be killed when others wanted to. ”
Tian Feng didn't say anything yet, Cao Shuo continued: "The Huns robbed us of so many women, do you know where Yuan Hao went?" ”
"It should be for their sexual pleasure." Tian Feng said: "I am not very familiar with the Huns......
"Those women were **** by them first, and if they played with enough, they would be killed by them and roasted and eaten like cattle and sheep." Cao Shuo clenched his fists and said: "Of course, our soldiers will not be as cruel as the Huns, we can't roast and eat their women like cattle and sheep, but we can snatch their women and let them know what it is like to have their women snatched away." ”
"Someone!" Cao Shuo shouted to the door.
A guard entered the room and bowed to Cao Shuo with his fists clenched.
"Pass the order down, let the soldiers recuperate." Cao Shuo instructed the guards: "When you see the tribe of the Huns in the future, they can do whatever they want." Play with the Hun women as much as you want. In the Loop, we have no military discipline except to obey orders! ”
When Cao Shuo gave this order, Tian Feng knew that the Huns in the Hetao area were likely to collapse after experiencing this war, and even if they did not perish, they would no longer have the strength to be enemies of the Central Plains in the next few decades.
But Cao Shuo did this, which undoubtedly buried hidden dangers for himself.
Once the news of what happened in the Hetao area spread, the army fighting Cao Shuo would probably fight to the death.
Cao Shuo's order had already been issued, and Tian Feng didn't have much to say.
After being silent for a moment, he asked Cao Shuo, "Childe is like this, is there any unspeakable suffering?" ”
"Yes!" Raising his eyes to look at him, Cao Shuo said: "It's still the same sentence, non-my race will have different hearts, as long as they find an opportunity, they will want to destroy us." The only thing I can do to survive is to let them die! ”
After Cao Shuo said this, Tian Feng completely understood.
No wonder when he was fighting with the Yuan family, Cao Cao wanted to kill 100,000 Yuan family prisoners of war, and Cao Shuo tried everything to save those people.
When he arrived at the Loop, he seemed to be a different person.
Not only were no prisoners of war left, but the Huns were not even allowed to surrender.
Although Tian Feng is intelligent, he does not have Cao Shuo's understanding of later generations.
He didn't know what would happen after the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he didn't know what the current Hu people had done to the Central Plains people for many years after that.
But Tian Feng knew that Cao Shuo was not a person who couldn't listen to opinions, and he must have his reasons for doing this.
Sure enough, Cao Shuo said to him next: "Yuan Hao, it's not that I can't listen to your opinion, and it's not that I don't know what the consequences of doing this will be. But as a native of the Central Plains, as a Han Chinese, I can't just watch the Hu people step on our homeland and be indifferent. ”
"I already understand Childe's intentions!" Tian Feng bowed and said to Cao Shuo: "I'm going to see the soldiers, when the battlefield was cleared, the soldiers were still carrying out the orders of the son, and they didn't even let go of a living Hun." ”
"That's right." Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "What I want is for them to do this." ”
"I just don't want the soldiers to torture the prisoners." Tian Feng said: "Some of the Huns did not die, the soldiers poured oil on them, burned them alive, and laughed wildly on the side. Over time, this army will become out of control. ”
Cao Shuo thought for a moment and said to Tian Feng: "Don't care if they kill or not, but tell them that we are human beings, not beasts." Treat the Huns who are not dead, give them a simple one, don't torture them in that bad way. ”
Tian Feng retreated.
Seeing him leave, Cao Shuo's gaze fell back on the map.
The Battle of Wuyuan was a complete victory, but there are still many things waiting for him to lead the army to do!
