Chapter 194: Saving the Surrendered Soldiers

After the successful raid on Jicheng, Shi Le immediately showed the qualities that a person who does great things should have, and knew his strengths and weaknesses well, he didn't waste his tongue with the representatives of all parties in Youzhou at all, and directly cut through the chaos with a quick knife, and quickly controlled the situation in Jicheng.

Guys like Zhu Shuo and Zao Song, who only know how to bend the law for bribes, and are extremely angry with the people, have been sent by Shi Le to raid their homes and behead them! And You Tong, who was once betrayed by Shi Le, also could not escape the bad luck this time, and was beheaded by Shi Le in the name of traitor and disloyalty.

By confiscating the family property of Wang Jun and his generals and officials, Shi Le harvested nearly a billion yuan in Jicheng. After cleaning up the waste in Youzhou, Shi Le did not forget Zhang Bin's advice and began to search for family talents in Youzhou.

It's a pity that the honest and talented people in Youzhou were either left by Wang Junqi or killed by him. Shi Le rummaged through the entire Youzhou before he got two in his hands: Pei Xian and Xun Xuan, even so that Shi Le danced happily.

He said something in front of the two of them that moved Pei and Xun: "I am not happy for the victory over Wang Jun, but I am very happy for the two gentlemen." ”

Subsequently, Shi Le appointed Liu Han, the former Western Jin Dynasty Shangshu, to act as the agent of Youzhou Thorn History, guard Jixian County, and prepare to return to Xiangguo.

Before leaving, Shile was ready to settle the last military force of the Han people in Youzhou once and for all.

Outside Jicheng, there is a barracks twenty miles to the east, which is full of detained Youzhou soldiers. Because Shi Le's movements were too fast, coupled with Wang Jun's order to surrender under Shi Le's coercion, the Youzhou soldiers surrendered almost without a fight.

In this battle, Shile contained nearly 24,000 Youzhou soldiers, including 4,000 cavalry. In order to prevent people from gathering to make trouble, Schle deliberately kept all the soldiers in the barracks.

In order to do so once and for all, Schle was determined to kill all the soldiers who surrendered.

Historically, in wars where fewer win more, the side with more cannot surrender. Because the less side will be afraid in the heart, even if the victor is facing a captive far beyond himself. Therefore, the probability of killing and surrendering is very high. In Chinese history, Xiang Yu has been killed, Bai Qi has done it, and foreign Napoleon has also done it.

And Shi Le, out of the same consideration, wanted to kill the surrendered Youzhou soldiers, which was not surprising at all, not to mention that he was still a cruel and easy to kill. Actually, before Shiler did it. Some of the troops have already sensed that something is wrong.

Xiao Shi was an ordinary pawn in Youzhou, and he never cared about any national affairs, let alone what national righteousness was. He saw being a soldier completely as a business: someone from above paid for it, and he killed the enemy with his life, it was as simple as that.

Two days ago, Shi Chang took him to surrender to General Shi. The captain even told them privately that in the future, it would definitely be better to follow General Shi to eat and drink spicy food than to follow Wang Tingshi. Because General Shi always wins battles, and the rewards are rich. Unlike Wang, the assassin is not only brutal, but also very greedy.

However, these are not Xiao Shi's concerns, what he cares about is that since they have surrendered to General Shi, why General Shi still detains them in the barracks like prisoners, but does not allow them to leave the barracks one step, and those who violate the order will be killed!

In addition, what made Xiao Shi even more frightened was that General Shi not only confiscated all the weapons and armor of their captives. And in the past two days, only two meals of gruel have been brought to them to satisfy their hunger, which is obviously to make them hungry and weak. Thus becoming free of any threat.

As for why General Shi did this, Xiao Shi couldn't figure it out, and only vaguely felt that something was wrong. But he did not dare to tell others what he really thought in his heart, because there were too many colleagues in the barracks who wanted to befriend the people by betraying their own people.

As time passed, Xiao Shi felt more and more that danger lurked in the barracks, and at the same time, the sense of foreboding in his heart became stronger and stronger. Especially on the third day. Without warning, General Shi gave a sum of money to all the captives, saying that it was the people's fat and people's ointment scavenged from the house of Wang Tingshi.

After the others got the bounty, they all thanked General Shi, but Xiao Shi felt a strong killing intent coming towards him. Money is naturally a good thing, and there is no reason why small stones don't like it. But they were all a group of hungry, dizzy, and defenseless captives, and even if they received more rewards, in the end it was not a matter of whether they would have a life to spend or not.

Although Xiao Shi couldn't guess General Shi's true intentions, his naturally keen perception told him that General Shi was obviously not kind to their group of captives.

Worried about his future fate and relying on the familiar geography, Little Stone escaped from the barracks before it got dark. He came all the way to the southeast, but unexpectedly ran headlong into the Liaodong army that was rushing forward.

The commander of the Liaodong Army was the Mo sword general Liu Yao, 1,000 Mo knife men plus 2,000 crossbowmen, in Liaodong and Laoshan two water divisions day and night busy, finally all arrived in the coastal area of Youzhou Yan during the day today.

The purpose of Liu Yao's trip was not to fight with Shi Le, but to seize territory after Shi Le left. In fact, Wei Shuo was ready to fight with Shi Le at the beginning, but what he didn't expect was that Shi Le would come to Youzhou with a large army at all, and relied on two thousand elite cavalry to raid Jicheng and capture Wang Jun.

In this case, Wei Shuo naturally had to change the previous battle plan, and the action for the purpose of fighting became the current occupation operation.

"My lord, we have caught a deserter from Youzhou."

"Well, bring him in, I'm going to interrogate him personally."

Liu Yao, who was worried about the situation in Jicheng, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he learned that the scout had caught a deserter, and hurriedly asked people to bring it to his eyes. Xiao Shishi, who had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, did not expect to be so unlucky, and accidentally crashed into the wolf's den again, and was taken to a secret camp with trepidation.

Liu Yao looked at the small stone that was trembling on his knees, and he felt dissatisfied. Since he got used to seeing the military appearance of the Liaodong Army, Liu Yao no longer looked down on the soldiers who only knew what he had done in the past.

"Who is kneeling?"

"General Hui, little ...... The small one is the Youzhou cavalry under the command of Wang Tingshi, and the small ...... The small one is called ...... It's called small stones. ”

"So you're from Jicheng?"

"General Hui, little ...... The small one is coming from Jicheng. ”

"Xiao Shi, you quickly tell me what you know about Jicheng, a few of you come here, you are responsible for recording all the information he knows, and I will check it myself later."

After about a stick of incense, the secretary of the room joined the army and presented the words of the small stone. Liu Yao saw through Shi Le's plot at a glance, and Xiao Shi couldn't understand it, it was because Xiao Shi's level was too low. A general like Liu Yao, who was so old in military affairs, knew at a glance that Shi Le was preparing to slaughter the prisoners.

Since Liu Yao guessed Shi Le's intentions, he naturally would not let Shi Le kill 20,000 Youzhou soldiers. He quickly changed his previous battle plan, making rescuing the captured Youzhou soldiers his top priority.

Xiaoshi was brought to Liu Yao again, and this time not only did no one make it difficult for him, but he was warmly received by Liu Yao, and there was a lot of money in front of him.

But seeing the senior official looking at him with a smile and saying, "As long as you can take us to the barracks where the prisoners in Youzhou are kept, not only will you not blame you for trespassing in the barracks, but all the money in front of you will belong to you." ”

Xiao Shi swallowed hard and spitted hard, and secretly thought to himself: "These people in front of me are obviously not easy to mess with, if you don't agree, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit to eat." Anyway, it's just to lead the way, and there is still money to be made, why didn't Lao Tzu agree? ”

"Thank you for the reward, the small one will definitely live up to the general's trust."

In this way, Liu Yao and his entourage, led by Xiao Shi, quickly disappeared into the night and galloped towards the barracks in the field of Jicheng. Little Stone didn't know that not long after he fled, the entire barracks were under martial law, and a large number of soldiers of the Qiang tribe surrounded the entire barracks with knives and guns.

At this time, some of the generals and soldiers of the Jin army who realized that the situation was not good started to commotion, and then more and more people noticed that the Hu people had bad intentions. It's a pity that it's too late, after nearly three days of starvation, these Jin captives are not to mention fighting with people, it is very difficult to make them stand for a while, not to mention that they don't have any weapons in their hands.

As night fell, a large number of Jin captives, who had realized that bad luck was coming, began to abandon themselves, shouting in the barracks, and even attacking their own people because of it. Unfortunately, no matter how they struggled, they could not escape the fate of being slaughtered by Shile, and a large number of heavily armed soldiers of the Qian tribe were stationed in the barracks, and the massacre was officially staged......
