It is also the first day of the first month of the third year of the main road, but the weather in Liaodong is surprisingly good, the morning is cloudless, and the warm winter sun will warm people to the sun.

However, Wanyan Zongwang and tens of thousands of Jin Jun were not in a good mood, or very unhappy, because today Liaoyang City not only hung a war-free card as promised, but also built a high platform in front of the city that was at least six zhang high, and then looked at the captives wearing Jin Army uniforms, screaming that they were fished to the top of the high platform by the rope, and were beheaded by the executioner with a ghost head broadsword.

But this is not the end, after the executioner cut off the head, while kicking the corpse off the high platform, he also built a Jingguan on the high platform.

Early in the morning, when Zong Wang got the news of the scouts, he was immediately extremely angry, so he also led 5,000 cavalry from the camp fifteen miles away to the city of Liaoyang, and really saw several executioners wearing big red jackets on the high platform outside the gatehouse in the north of the city, and at this moment they were slaughtering the prisoners wearing the uniforms of the Jin army like an efficient machine.

It is said that it is slaughtered, because the Song army is too particular about killing, not only every time the executioner kills a person, he has to pretend to wash the knife once, recite a prayer, and slowly drain the blood after beheading, and then place it on the Jingguan made of the person's head in a regular manner, and also wipe the eyelids open, so that each head maintains the appearance of angry eyes.

After Zong Wang came to see it with his own eyes, he was naturally furious, so he sent people to the front of the city to see him and asked to see Huang Jie.

Huang Jie didn't hide from him, he was already watching the execution on the city gate, so he also came down, and negotiated with Zong Wang in front of the city, and when the two saw each other, Zong Wang also shouted: "Huang Jie, why are you like this?" ”

Huang Jie replied in a hurry: "I don't know what Hanlu said about you?" ”

When Zong Wang heard this, he also pointed to the high platform and glared angrily, but Huang Jie pretended to follow his fingers and looked at it, and then asked: "This is a sacrifice to the fallen soldiers of our army, I don't know what's wrong?" Oh! Could it be that Han Lu is making up for me, killing prisoners? If this is the case, then this is a bit unreasonable, and you are allowed to kill the prisoners of our army, and I am not allowed to kill the prisoners of your army? ”

As soon as Huang Jie's words came out, Zong Wang was speechless, if he wanted to talk about killing prisoners, he didn't count in the past, but recently, it was indeed his first move.

Although it is calculated, after all, Puluhu is the eldest prince of Dajin (there was no prince system in the Jin State at this time), and according to the Jurchen custom, it is logical to be buried with prisoners of war or slave meat sacrifices, which is logical in Zongwang's view. It's just that now Huang Jie's rhetorical question blocked Zong Wang's mouth all of a sudden, it is true that you can't just allow you to kill other people's prisoners, but you don't allow others to kill your prisoners, right?

Suddenly, Zong Wang was so stunned by Huang Jie that he couldn't speak, but Guo Yaoshi, who came with him, saw that the Jin army prisoners killed on the high platform were somewhat familiar (that is, the ones that fell in Tangchi Fort), so he also saluted with Huang Jie: "I don't know how many prisoners of our army are in the hands of the king of the county?" ”

"More than a thousand people!" Huang Jie replied with a smile, and when he saw that Pharmacist Guo frowned, he also added: "The original plan was to kill from the first to the fifteenth day of the first month, if Han Lu Bu can't bear to see it, I will let people kill it faster when I go back, and strive to kill it in three days!" ”

“…………”

In this way, whether it is Zong Wang or Guo Yaoshi, they are all so stunned that they almost turned their backs, if it is really from what "the first day of the first year to the fifteenth", it is really to disgust people. It's just that the two of them have suffering, and there is really no reason to persuade Huang Jie not to do this, can he persuade him to say that "killing prisoners is ominous"? That's a big joke!

After thinking about it, Pharmacist Guo also crossed his hands again and said: "I don't know if the king of the county can tolerate the mercy and allow Guo to redeem it with money?" If Guo Mou saw it well, the prisoners in the hands of the county king were all Han Jun's sons and daughters under Guo, how could Guo bear to see it and not save it. ”

Seeing that Guo Yaoshi was a little clever, not mentioning Jin Jun and Jin Guo, but asking for redemption in his personal capacity, Huang Jie also gave him a face, so he also smiled: "Speaking of which, the Great Song Dynasty is not allowed to kill prisoners, but Hanlu makes up for the prisoners and sacrifices Pulu Tiger first, if I don't use his way and give back to him, how can I explain to the soldiers of our army?" General Guo wanted to save his subordinates, and Huang also paid attention to his feelings, but Huang also had to explain to his subordinates...... Does General Guo understand what Huang meant? ”

Although Pharmacist Guo has never dealt with Huang Jie, but two days ago, he made the "war-free card" so angry that Zong Wang almost vomited blood, and now he has a "slow kill" so that Zong Wang almost lost his temper, and he knew that this person was by no means a good person, so Guo Pharmacist also bowed again and crossed his hands and said, "Please also ask the king of the county to teach me!" ”

"Da Song is not only rich!" Seeing that Pharmacist Guo was also clever and put on a shameless posture, Huang Jie no longer looked at Zongwang with a blue face, but came to say to Pharmacist Guo with a pleasant face: "If the Jin Army can exchange our prisoners of war, this matter can also be discussed!" ”

Guo Yaoshi was very surprised when he heard it, whether it was the civil war of the Central Plains Dynasty or the conquest with foreign tribes, it was very rare for prisoners of war to be exchanged. Not to mention the former Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, even between the Song, Xia, and Liao dynasties, there were very few exchanges of prisoners.

Of course, the so-called very little, not to say that there was no once, but between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, because the Western Xia people like to send a capture army to the Song Territory to plunder, so when the Song army fought against the Western Xia people in the northwest, they also used Western Xia prisoners in exchange for the return of the Song people.

Speaking of which, the reason why there was no regular prisoner exchange rule in ancient times was because the civilization was not advanced enough, and the use of prisoners of war in ancient times was to be used to sacrifice the flag, after all, in ancient times, it was more superstitious that the morale of the army needed male blood to sacrifice, so that the army could be blessed by the gods.

If you go straight to the eleventh or two, you will either be accepted and organized as an attached army (that is, cannon fodder), or you will be dismissed on the spot, of course, this possibility is extremely low, and you will be sent back to the first place to offer prisoners for merit, unless there are some extremely valuable special personnel, very few troops will be willing to give prisoners in exchange.

Therefore, listening to Huang Jie's statement of exchanging prisoners, not to mention Pharmacist Guo, even Zong Wang was stunned, and after Pharmacist Guo raised his eyes and glanced at Zong Wang, he also confirmed with Huang Jie: "I don't know what the king of the county means......"

Huang Jie also spread his hands and said: "It is to exchange prisoners of war, soldiers for soldiers, ten commanders for generals, and Mouke for generals, if the Jin army has my generals of the Great Song Dynasty, you can also exchange it for a Meng'an!" ”

Hearing Huang Jie's words so straightforward, how could Pharmacist Guo still not understand Huang Jie's intentions, he turned his head to look at Zong Wang, and saw that Zong Wang deliberately turned his face, so he knew his intentions, and said to Huang Jie: "I see, it's just that our army doesn't have Song Army prisoners of war now, how can this be good?" ”
