Chen Ping circled around the captive alive, and saw that the captive was hairy, and he didn't look back, and he felt like he was being stared at by a poisonous snake if he didn't look back, which made people feel uncomfortable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Do you know that this Linyi is a vassal state of the imperial court? Tribute is paid every year, but since the beginning of last year, the small country of Linyi has not been called a tribute. The imperial court sent a large army to come, and the king of Linyi not only did not go out of the city to greet him, but led the army to resist, and how many soldiers in our court died in battle. Chen Pingmeng's hand pulled out the long knife on his waist and pressed it on the captive's shoulder, "You sell rice and grain to Lin Yi, this is to harass the enemy, according to the imperial court law, I can cut you directly." What else do you have to say? ”

"The little general spares his life, I was confused for a while, let the silver money blindfold me, I only came to this Linyi once, and the rice grain has not been sold, please let me go." The captives knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy.

Chen Ping snorted coldly: "I'll give you a chance, but you still refuse to tell the truth, then it's no wonder to me." Someone came, dragged him into the woods, and killed him, and threw his body down to feed the wild beasts in the forest. After eating, we went to the village in front of us, and those who dared to resist were all killed, men, women, and children, all of whom were taken back and forced to do hard labor. ”

"Yes." Zhang Shan'an grabbed the captive's hair and dragged him into the forest.

The captive's face was shocked, he was paralyzed on the ground, and he still kept begging for mercy: "My words are true, I am a common man of the Great Sui, and I hope that the little general will spare me." The people of that village, too, hope that the little general will let them go, they have nothing to do with the king's army. ”

"You say that what you say is true, then I ask you, if you are really a common person of the Great Sui, why do you have such thick calluses on your feet, which can only be produced by being barefoot for many years? You came here from Cochin to run a business, why are you barefoot? Chen Ping shouted, "I originally wanted to spare your life, but you didn't say a word true, but you wanted to deceive General Ben, I suspect that you are a spy in the country of Linyi, and you are in that village to spy on the truth of our army." ”

Zhang Shan'an pulled the captive and dragged it deep into the forest.

"I'm not a spy, I'm really a common man of the Great Sui, it's just that when I was a child, my father moved to Linyi, took root in the village, married a wife and had children, and I hope that the little general will take pity on me and let me go, I have a wife and children at home, if I die, they will have nothing to rely on." The captives finally told the truth.

"Then why did you lie before?" Chen Ping gave Zhang Shan'an a look.

Zhang Shan'an kicked the prisoner and said to Chen Ping: "General, I see that this person's eyes are wandering, and none of them are true, so it's better to kill them." With the army behind, our team was the vanguard, and we went all the way south, without encountering resistance or establishing military exploits. Since this person is from the village in front, the people in the village should be in the same group as the army of Lin Yiguo, and they should all be killed. We can also be rewarded for our meritorious service in killing the enemy. ”

Chen Ping groaned, as if thinking about Zhang Shan'an's proposal, and his face was quite moved.

When the captive saw it, he hurriedly said: "General, I say, I will say everything, as long as you can spare me and spare the people in my village, I will tell you everything." ”

"But I am the vanguard, and the rear army is a few miles away, if there is no meritorious service, isn't this trip in vain? I think Zhang Shan'an's proposal is good, Ding Zhuang in the village is all killed, and the prisoners will be captured and returned to the army, and General Liu Fang and Liu will definitely report our merits. Chen Ping said.

This time, it was useless for the captives to tell the truth. Fan Zhi knelt on the ground, regretting it in his heart, and secretly scolding, the little general in front of him, looking young, how could he be so ruthless.

This is just the time to leave Liu Demon King, and there is a little Demon King, who is even more ferocious than that Liu Fang.

Killing the people and making meritorious contributions, Fan Zhi doesn't think that the other party can't do it. At this moment, Fan Zhi couldn't help but feel a little annoyed with Fan Zhi, the king of Linyi.

In just a few months, countless soldiers were killed and wounded, allowing the Great Sui army to capture the national capital, without a long memory, and without sympathy for the lives of the people in the country. Liu Fangcai withdrew from the army, so he pushed the contract set up in front of him and attracted the Great Sui army.

Thinking of what he saw outside the village before, Fan Zhi suddenly gritted his teeth and fell to the ground: "The little general doesn't need to make meritorious contributions to the people in the village, I know that in a mountain forest outside the village, there are soldiers from Linyi Guozhong, and one of them is still the prince of the country, as long as the little general you catch the prince, it will definitely be a great achievement." ”

Chen Ping and Zhang Shan'an glanced at each other, but they didn't think that they hadn't encountered enemies all the way, but now they appeared.

"What's your name?" Chen Ping asked.

"Fan Zhi." Fan replied honestly.

"Since you are from the village in front of you, why did you try to lie to me before?" Chen Ping said again.

Fan Zhi said helplessly: "That's a last resort, I'm afraid that the little general will kill me directly, and I will lie." But it's not a complete lie, my ancestral home was originally Hengshan, and after the chaos in the Central Plains, I moved all the way south here. My father and grandfather did not dare to forget my ancestral hometown, and I have been learning the Central Plains language since I was a child. ”

After entering Linyi, Chen Ping realized that there was something missing during the trip, Linyi was mostly aborigines, and the language was different.

What's more, those villagers, seeing Chen Ping's guards from a distance, either ran into the mountains and forests to hide, or got into thatched huts, and refused to come out no matter how they knocked on the door.

Kill less, this is what Zhou Faxian meant, and it is also a military order handed down by Liu Fang. Unlike the previous time, this time the imperial court decided to send troops to garrison Linyi and pacify its people.

However, the last time, Liu Fang marched into Linyi, and he broke through its capital, burning and killing all the way, which obviously hurt the people in Linyi too much. Linyi is a small country, located in a remote area, and the sergeant equipment and tactics lag behind the Central Plains Imperial Court, but he is not stupid, and when he saw a group of foreign sergeants, he immediately hid, and Chen Ping was helpless.

Murder?

Chen Ping didn't think about it, but if he killed the people who didn't resist in a row, Chen Ping felt that it was really unnecessary. Manpower is a resource, and Chen Ping is reluctant to waste it.

History has proved that there are two ways for one nation to conquer another, one is an iron-fisted policy, which focuses on massacres, and the other is a policy of appeasement, which focuses on pacification.

Massacres are obviously more straightforward and simple, but they are the practice of barbarians, and they provoke strong resistance, which is not good for them.

Appeasement takes longer, but it is often subtle and silent, soaking a people from its roots and finally assimilating its people.

Chen Ping's guards, in his opinion, their lives are more valuable than the people of Linyi, and when they are slaughtered, even if they kill a hundred people of Linyi, Chen Ping does not want to bear the loss of one of his own guards.

Coupled with Liu Fang's military orders, as the vanguard of Zhou Faxian's army, Chen Ping traveled all the way and did not slaughter the people of Linyi, of course, this only the people of Linyi who fought against him and did not resist, if he encountered the enemy, he naturally could not be soft.

In enemy territory, all those who bear weapons and wear armor are threats, and threats should be obliterated.

Meeting Fan Zhi here, such a person who can communicate with him and take root in the local area, is completely unexpected for Chen Ping, not to mention, Fan Zhi seems to have some side information.

"Tell me where the army of Linyi is stationed, how many people there are, and how well is it equipped?" This is a military achievement, and Chen Ping doesn't want to waste it. (To be continued.) )
