In the tent of the commander of the Longzhong clan, Xu Ping couldn't help frowning while listening to Wang Kai report the battle situation while looking at the sand table on the table: "What? So far, the two sides have not engaged in battle? What the hell is Yu Zanghua Ma doing? Gao Daquan occupies Anyuan Village, and he is watching from the side? If he doesn't take it back, most of his men will be stuck in his pockets and die! ”

Wang Kai was also a little helpless, and said: "Jie Shuai, according to what came from the front, it's not that Yuzang Huama doesn't want to recapture Anyuan Village, but that he can't control his subordinates anymore." The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info now the valley is attacking and killing each other, and it is a mess. Our people can only watch from afar, and it is not easy to rush up and fight now. Those people are crazy, whether they are their own people or not, just kill indiscriminately! ”

"It's just a release of water, and even Anyuan Village can't be flushed, and the thief collapsed by himself?"

Xu Ping looked at the sand table and frowned tightly. I have calculated everything, but I didn't calculate this result, and now I am not afraid that the enemy can fight, but I am afraid that I can't help but fight. An organized army, whether killed or captured, can always predict the result, and now tens of thousands of people are disorganized and crowded in a valley dozens of miles long, and how to clean up the battlefield has become a troublesome matter. Moreover, the two sides of the Sandu River are not too steep to climb, and the valley is chaotic, and I don't know how many thieves climbed up the banks and burrowed into the jungle of the surrounding mountains. How could Xu Ping send someone to search for this vast mountain? Moreover, the mountains are the territories of Qinzhou's subordinate Fanluo, and if one is not good, it may cause Fanluo to attack and kill each other. The thieves who caught the invading were sent to Qinzhou to have a reward, which was a policy that had been set a long time ago and could not be changed. It's just that if it's not sent to Qinzhou, who doesn't want the slaves sent to the door for nothing? Fan Luo wants to rob it!

"Straight lady thief, with such an army to invade Qinzhou, is it in Yu Zanghuama's head?!"

Faced with this tricky situation, Xu Ping, who has never sweared, couldn't help but scold his mother. At this time, he couldn't help but think of a line from a movie he had seen in his previous life, 50,000 pigs, and he couldn't catch them all in three days and three nights. What I am facing now is really like catching pigs in the mountains, and any tricks and tricks are useless, so I can only wait first, and let the thieves kill each of them first.

After looking at the sand table for a long time, Xu Ping couldn't think of any way, so he had to sit back on the chair and say to Wang Kai: "Immediately send someone back to Qinzhou, and order Chong Shiheng and Liu Lian to recruit the familiar people in the vicinity, and prepare to cooperate with us to catch the invading thieves." Tell them to strictly order the Tibetan Ministry, and if there are those who dare to kill the good and take the merits, they will be killed! The head of the thief will be rewarded according to the low reward, and the living will be rewarded according to the high reward, according to three to one, so that Fan Luo can take the living as much as possible! Alas, even if only one-tenth of the thieves run into the mountains, there are thousands of them, and the chaos that a few thousand people can create is not small! We can't live in peace this winter! ”

Wang Kai whispered: "Jie Shuai, tens of thousands of captives, people eat horses and chew, the cost is not small, we might as well-"

Xu Ping waved his hand: "How can you save this bit of food, you can't kill indiscriminately." Prison army, killing prisoners is ominous, this is an ancient precept. Don't think that the ancients were fools, there is a reason for raising this point. We killed Yuzang Huama and surrendered the army, and then went north, what should we do in the face of more Yuzang Huama? Everyone fights to the death, and we ourselves have to fill it with human lives. Waving Shilan and meeting two states, we are Wang Shibei from the north, and the result is bloody with both hands, who will believe us? What is a king? Not only to get the king's order, but also to practice the way of mercy, to face the enemy with the royal way, and to rule the people with the royal way, can you be called the king's teacher! Remember, what we want to recover is the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the soil is my land, and the people are my people, how can we kill indiscriminately? Today's killing is slippery, how can we distinguish ourselves from the party and thieves? ”

War is a killing stamp, but killing stamps should only stop at the battlefield, and must not be expanded. This is not only a moral issue, but also the optimal solution for the victors, a lesson summed up by the ancients with blood and tears. The teacher of benevolence and righteousness can be regarded as a slogan, and the various ancillary results that can be obtained from doing so are the true value of the teacher of benevolence and righteousness.

War is, in the final analysis, a political issue, and if one cannot view war from a political perspective, one is not a qualified commander and does not have the ability to conduct strategic command. Before attacking the core area of the party, the Song army's biggest challenge was to compete with the party for the small tribes that swayed between the two, and whoever could win them would have a strategic advantage.

Although it is said that it is ominous to kill prisoners, Xu Ping will not take auspiciousness and ominousness seriously, and he will not hesitate to kill prisoners from a political point of view. In the final analysis, the first priority of war is the achievement of political objectives, and everything else is secondary.

Wang Kai still hesitated, and said: "But accepting tens of thousands of people at once, not to mention that it is a big burden for Qinzhou's money and grain, even if you let these people stay in Qinzhou, it is not a small trouble." The thieves are not of my race, once something happens in Qinzhou, they will inevitably make trouble! ”

"Why let them be in Qinzhou? Eating and drinking for nothing and living for nothing is better than when you were in your own tribe, where is there such a good thing in the world! When the war was over, he sent the captured thieves to Fengzhou, Chengzhou, and Jiezhou, where they transported grain and grass. Supervising the army, our grain and grass are transported from Sichuan and Shu, although there is a waterway, all the way is against the current, and it takes a lot of slender men to pull fibers. Every year, in order to transport grain and grass, I don't know how many people die of exhaustion on the road. Transporting grain to Longyou, the grain transferred from Sichuan and Shu is still a trivial matter, but pulling fiber is a heavy labor, and the people in various states along the way are miserable. This time, the captured thieves were sent there, and the people of the states along the way tried not to pull the fiber, and every one less person died was a merit! ”

Wang Kai looked at Xu Ping, opened his mouth, and couldn't say anything anymore. He originally thought that Xu Pingzhai was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to kill and hurt people, so he wanted to capture the invading people as much as possible, but it didn't seem like that.

The Sichuan and Shu area is the most densely populated place today, with fertile land and is known as the land of abundance. Transferring grain and grass from there is not only a matter of supplying tens of thousands of people, but also hundreds of thousands. The difficulty is not to collect grain and grass, but how to transport it to Longyou. There are waterways to use along the way, and the capacity has indeed increased a lot, but this is all the way upstream, and it is through the mountains, the water is turbulent, and a large number of slender men are needed. Longyou uses troops, and the most miserable thing in several states along the way is to recruit slender men, and the slender men who die on this road of transporting grain every year are really not a small number, no less than fighting a big battle on the front line.

Fiber pulling does not require any technology, it is tied together, and someone can drive it with a whip. Capturing the enemy, giving him food and drink without killing him is a benevolent act of the king's master, which can win the hearts of the people nearby. Sent to the southern states to pull fiber and transport grain, which not only reduces the harassment of the locality, but also expands the transportation capacity of grain and grass, and more troops can be used in the direction of Qinfeng Road, why not?

There are not so many bells and whistles in the war, in the final analysis, it is to change more and more of his own people and make the enemy fewer and fewer, which is the real intention of Xu Ping's resolute refusal not to kill prisoners. In this era, manpower is precious, and as long as you can breathe, it can be useful.

At this moment, Li Zhang came in from outside, handed over the official document in his hand and said, "Fuqiang Village sent it, just received it!" ”

Xu Ping unfolded it to watch, and it turned out that Sang Yi wrote it and asked for instructions from the Shuaifu. Originally, according to the predetermined plan, at this time, the pontoon bridge of the water gate behind Fuqiang Village had been erected, and the brigade could cross the river at any time. But because Gao Daquan released a water, the Yuzang Huama Department collapsed, and they attacked and killed each other, and at this time it had already affected the party army that was camped in front of Fuqiang Village. In order to protect themselves, they first led people to fight with the Tibetan army that rushed over, and it was difficult to solve it.

In this case, how can Sang Yi send troops? Send someone to ask Xu Ping, and temporarily do not send troops in Fuqiang Village, and wait and see what happens.

Xu Ping handed the official document to Wang Kai and said: "Prepare a military order for Sang Yi, the current situation has exceeded our previous expectations, the previous order is withdrawn, and they can temporarily send troops." When to go out of the city to attack, he can make his own ideas, or have a new order from the Shuaifu to be delivered. Alas, it ended up being such a mess, which was a bit overwhelming. ”

In this era, the army implemented high pressure, and it was not unimaginable for the camp to roar, but the appearance of this kind of chaos similar to the camp whistle in broad daylight was really beyond Xu Ping's imagination. At this time, Song Jun joined in to ask for trouble, of course, to wait for the thieves who came to make enough trouble, and finally go out to clean up the mess.

Xu Ping was influenced by the impressions of his previous life, and thought that the armies of these small tribes around him were too strong, but in fact, this kind of chaos was their normal manifestation. Back then, Li Lizun also led tens of thousands of people to invade Qinzhou with great momentum, but was crushed by Cao Wei's charge, chased and killed for dozens of miles, and beheaded several people to catch up with Cao Wei's department. Those who died back then were afraid that they also encountered the same thing today, most of them were not killed by the Song army, but by their own people in the chaos.

According to the military law, the first grade and the fourth class were awarded, and the old system was to reward money three times, reward three silk horses, and at the same time count military merits. This is not a small amount, back then, Cao Wei's department was a thief who attacked and killed each other, but I am afraid that he also went up to cut off the head to receive the reward. Naturally, these details will not be mentioned when reporting to the imperial court, anyway, no matter what the truth is, the number of enemies killed is from the Song army. Cao Wei did this reasonably, which was understandable to fight for the interests of his subordinates, but it misled Xu Ping, who deduced the combat strength of the Fan army from the court newspapers. This is the fault of the system, not Cao Wei's, and it is also one of the reasons why Xu Ping no longer counts his military merits according to the first level.

After Xu Ping changed the money system in the third division, the rewards in the army no longer used silk, but directly distributed money. In other armies, it is still a great temptation to change the first-class reward to five feet according to the old military law. But whether this is good or bad for the war, at least according to what Xu Ping sees now, the benefits are not enough to make up for the disadvantages that come from this, and it is better to change to not talk about military merits according to the first level.
