Chapter 13: The Harvest

The five delegates elected from the prisoner of war camp went faster and returned faster.

It's just that the five of them were full of confidence before leaving, but when they came back, they were dejected and discouraged.

Seeing the situation after the representatives returned from Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun's side, Gongsun Xu, who had been paying attention to the camp gate in the camp tent, smiled slightly, slowly picked up the tea on the table, and tasted it slowly.

Gongsun Xu guessed this process in his heart, and when these five people arrived at Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun, they should have reported this matter to Qiu Liju, and also submitted the letter he wrote.

It's a pity that the five of them think too highly of Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun, Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun shouldn't believe them at all, let alone redeem the idea of these subordinates with food, they went in vain.

Gongsun Xu knew best in his heart that those representatives should belong to Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun's diehards, and they should have quite high prestige in the army or among the prisoners of war.

After seeing Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun, they were not praised, but were hostile to Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun.

If it weren't for the prestige they had on Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun's side, they would have even been pushed out by Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun on the charge of disturbing the morale of the army and beheaded to show the public.

Not only did they not believe that Gongsun Chan was so kind and would return the prisoners of war to them, but they also did not believe in the loyalty of these people.

Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun would feel that these people would go back to cholera and their military hearts, and not killing them would not be enough to calm his anger.

What is full of joy and depression, and what is sadness after ecstasy? Here it is.

Almost the same as Gongsun Xu's guess, these five generals were ecstatic when they saw Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun, but they were poured a basin of cold water on their heads.

Not only were they not believed by Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun, but they were not only reprimanded, but even beheaded, their hearts were like powder.

In half a day, they had already felt the transformation of joy and sorrow, and they didn't even know how they should face the long-awaited colleague.

On Gongsun Xu's side were two thousand soldiers, they were waiting for Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun's redemption, they believed that Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun would not abandon them, but they were disappointed when they saw the leaders they sent out.

At this time, even a fool could see that Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun had no idea of ransoming them prisoners at all, and had already abandoned them all.

After Gongsun Xu saw the five people come back, he did not quickly come out of the tent, but sat silently in the tent for more than ten minutes.

Gongsun Xu did this with a kind of psychological warfare idea, and during this time of his meditation, most of the captives should have begun to be hostile to Qiu Liju.

As before, Gongsun Xu gathered the captives together and began his second lecture.

Gongsun Xu looked at the lost prisoners of war with a little pity, his face showed a grim look, and he frowned slightly and said, "I guess you already know the result.

What about this result! I was disappointed.

This result, so to speak, is neither what I want, nor what you want.

However, Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun really abandoned you, and they didn't want to redeem you at all.

There are nearly 2,000 of you, and my original intention was that Qiu Liju would be able to have some burden, at least a few thousand stone of grain to redeem you.

Two thousand stone grain is nothing more than the price of forty war horses, and now I can see that you are not as good as forty war horses in the hearts of Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun, and it is in vain that you work so hard for them and trust them so much.

They have betrayed your trust, and here I offer you a moment of silence. ”

Gongsun Xu looked at the dejected prisoners of war with a look of pity, and with a sharp turn of words, he said loudly: "I still say the same thing, God has the virtue of a good life.

Although the Han army was invincible, it was compassionate, and the great country had a broad mind.

Now I give you two choices, one is to return to the embrace of the Han army and swear allegiance to our army, I will not pursue your rebellion, and the treatment will be the same as that of the auxiliaries for the time being.

The second is to give you the option to leave, and after making the final decision, you can leave from the rear of the camp.

But what! I will not give you a grain of food and a sip of water, as for whether you can return from this place alive or not, it depends on the will of God.

What about me! Personally, I still hope that you can return to the embrace of the Han army and kill Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun who abandoned you.

If you don't want to face your former colleagues, you can be an auxiliary soldier of the Han army.

Now, according to the previous position of the prisoners of war, take the prisoners of war back to their original places, and wait for their choice, if you do not want to join our Han army, I guarantee that you will be able to leave our army camp safely, and I promise not to send troops to hunt you down.

I will only give you a stick of incense, and then it will depend on your decision.

Personally, I hope you can make the best choice for you.

There is only one life, really only once, for the sake of your parents and family, I personally hope that you can choose to return to the arms of the Han. ”

Gongsun Xu gave these prisoners of war two choices, one was to join the army of the Han Dynasty, after all, these people can become the mainstay of the army as long as they have a little training, even if these soldiers Gongsun Chan does not give him, he must keep these soldiers.

As for the soldiers who left, although Gongsun Xu said it well, he didn't have the idea of letting them live.

It would be impossible to think of such a good thing after the rebellion.

He was in charge of the promise that the rebel soldiers would be free to leave, and he said that he promised not to send people to hunt them down.

The words of not giving a grain of grain and a sip of water are nothing more than to appease the hearts of those who have left the rebels, making them feel that Gongsun Xu and Gongsun Chan will not send troops to kill them.

Gongsun Xu will not chase and kill, but his cheap father Gongsun Chan will not let these soldiers leave the barracks like this, these are all living credits, Gongsun Xu does not want this kind of credit, many captains want to do this.

It's just that Gongsun Xu didn't tell Gongsun Chan Ming, and Gongsun Chan didn't bring this matter to the table, everything was in plain sight, and the father and son knew it.

The greatest advantage of this is that it leaves a good name among the prisoners of war, and there will be no gap between these prisoners of war in the future.

Nearly 2,000 prisoners of war remained, and for them, they were originally soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and after the rebellion, the adults did not pursue them extrajudicially and did not give them the death penalty, which was already a kind of preferential treatment.

Walking out of this place, what they will be able to do is also not clear to them.

They were even more disappointed in Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun, they didn't want to be soldiers for Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun, and they didn't know what they could do.

In this world, being a soldier is nothing more than getting food and food, or getting ahead with military merits, rather than going out and not knowing what to do, it is better to give life to Gongsun Zhan and his son, who are full of character.
