Captured by the Han army, Ling Tong never thought that Zhou Yu would let him go.

Leaving the Han army barracks, he galloped all the way without even looking back.

Ling Cao was killed by the Han army in the battle, and Ling Tong didn't even know who the enemy was, so he hurriedly left the Han army camp.

When he came, he was tens of thousands of troops, and when he went, he was alone.

The horses galloped through the wilderness, and the wind passed by their ears, making a "whirring" sound.

Contrasting with the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the ground, Ling Tong felt that there was a gloom all around, and he could no longer feel the breath of any living creature except himself.

The Jiangdong Army was defeated in World War I, a small part of the Jiangdong Army fled, and even fewer were killed in the battle, and the vast majority of the Jiangdong Army was captured by the Han Army.

The captured Jiangdong Army squatted in one place with their hands in their hands.

Around them, there stood many Han soldiers with swords in their hands.

The soldiers wearing the armor of the Han army were all soldiers and horses under the command of Zhou Yu, and not long ago, they took off the armor of the Jiangdong Army and replaced them with the standard armor of the Han army.

The Jiangdong army, who were squatting together next to each other, all looked at the former Tongze who was wearing Han army clothes and armor and surrounded them in the middle with fear on their faces.

Captured by the enemy, their fate is in the hands of the enemy.

Doing hard labor in the army can be regarded as a preferential treatment for prisoners, and some hot-tempered generals will even issue orders to kill all the prisoners.

Zhou Yu and Sima Yi walked side by side to the place where the prisoners were being held.

They didn't get too close, and when they were still forty or fifty paces away from being captured by the Jiangdong Army, the two stopped.

"General Sima, today our army has won a great victory, capturing countless enemy troops, what does the general think should be done?" Looking at the captives in the distance, Zhou Yu asked Sima Yi.

did not give him any affirmative answer, Sima Yi asked him rhetorically: "What does the general think he should do?" ”

Turning his head to look at Sima Yi, Zhou Yu first lowered his eyelids and thought about it, and then said to him: "I think I should kill them all!" ”

Zhou Yu's answer was obviously a bit unexpected by Sima Yi.

Staring at him, after a long while, Sima Yi asked Zhou Yu: "If the general really feels that he should kill all the captured Jiangdong troops?" ”

Nodding, the look on Zhou Yu's face was solemn.

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "If this is the case with the general, once the army goes south, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat Sun Quan."

Knowing what Sima Yi meant in his words, Zhou Yu just looked at him and didn't say anything.

"The enemy army is here on the orders of Sun Quan!" Seeing that Zhou Yu was silent, Sima Yi continued: "If His Highness breaks through the enemy army, the prisoners will often be given two choices, one is to ask them to leave as soon as possible, but they will not be given dry food and entanglement; The second is to inform them that if they are willing to serve the Han Dynasty, they will be like the Han soldiers, with the same clothes and food, and a monthly military salary! Imagine the general, under such circumstances, how many prisoners will leave? ”

"Don't kill, but solicit?" His brows furrowed slightly, and Zhou Yu asked Sima Yi very suspiciously: "How loyal will these soldiers have to the imperial court?" ”

"Even if they are defeated in a battle in the future, it is worth it!" Looking at Zhou Yu, Sima Yi continued: "Our army treats the prisoners like this, if the words reach the ears of the other Jiangdong troops, once they fight with the Jiangdong army in the future, they will definitely have no entanglements in their hearts. But if you are defeated, you only have to surrender, and how many people are willing to fight to the death? ”

Sima Yi's words made Zhou Yu suddenly realize, he nodded, and said to the soldiers who followed behind him: "Go, tell the captured Jiangdong soldiers what General Sima said!" ”

The soldiers answered and were about to leave, but Sima Yi hurriedly shouted: "Wait! ”

was stopped by Sima Yi, and his soldiers turned around, clenched their fists and bowed down to wait for his orders.

Stopping the soldiers, Sima Yi said to Zhou Yu: "General, it is more appropriate for the general to go and tell him in person." ”

Sima Yi asked him to go and tell him in person, Zhou Yu nodded and said, "What General Sima said is very true, so I will go and tell him!" ”

The number of Jiangdong soldiers captured by the Han army was somewhat larger than the total number of Han troops, but they had already been killed in the previous battle.

Yulin and Dragoon Guards are strong, and now there are many Han troops organized under Zhou Yu, and the Jiangdong soldiers know that with their strength, it is impossible to escape from here alive.

One by one, the Jiangdong soldiers were waiting for fate to finally judge them.

Zhou Yu and Sima Yi, surrounded by a group of pro-soldiers, came to the front of the Jiangdong soldiers.

Glancing at the Jiangdong soldiers who were squatting next to each other with obvious panic on their faces, Zhou Yu shouted to them: "Can you recognize who so-and-so is?" ”

Hearing Zhou Yu's shout, the Jiangdong soldiers raised their heads one by one and looked at him.

In Jiangdong, Zhou Yu's fame is huge, how could the Jiangdong soldiers not recognize him.

It's just that even if you recognize it, no one will say it at this time.

Beat the leader, stand up at such a time and say that he recognizes Zhou Yu, which will undoubtedly become Zhou Yu's first target and the first to bear the judgment of fate.

Although fate was in the hands of Zhou Yu and the Han army, the soldiers of the Jiangdong army did not want to get the results they did not want too early.

Blind, they have only one hope, and that is to live.

Even if the price of survival is to become a slave of the Han army, it is much better than having your head cut off!

Seeing the nervousness and anticipation on the faces of the nearby Jiangdong army, Zhou Yu then shouted to them: "Fang Caimou and General Sima have discussed how to deal with you and others." General Sima told him that if His Majesty was here, he would definitely give you a way out! ”

Zhou Yu's words made the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army suddenly see a ray of light.

The emperor will bypass them, and Zhou Yu, who was born as a general, will certainly not kill them lightly!

They all raised their heads, looking at Zhou Yu with anticipation in their eyes, and none of the Jiangdong soldiers said a word.

They were all waiting for Zhou Yu to speak, waiting for him to make his final decision!

"Since it is His Majesty, he may spare you and others." Looking around at the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army, Zhou Yu then shouted to them: "So-and-so will wait for you to have a way out!" ”

When Zhou Yu said this, the Jiangdong Army was in a commotion.

The Han army, who was watching them on the side, saw that they were in some commotion, so they hurriedly stepped forward and pointed at them with their swords, and several Han army officers shouted loudly: "All be quiet!" If you don't want to die, close your beak! ”

Facing the blades pointed at them by the Han army, the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army really kept their mouths shut.

It was not far from being pardoned, and no one would be stupid enough to clash with the Han army at such a time.

All they have to do is wait, waiting for Zhou Yu to finish all the words!

There was almost no expression on his face, Zhou Yu's gaze wandered on the faces of the Jiangdong Army soldiers, and after a long while, he continued: "Those who are willing to leave, can leave at this time!" A certain should have given out some rations and Panchuan, but there is not much money and food in the army, so you can only leave by yourself! It's just that there is a certain sentence to say in front, after you leave, if you dare to attack the village, you will be killed! ”

Zhou Yu said that he could leave if he wanted to leave, and the captured Jiangdong Army officers and soldiers looked at each other one by one, and some of them even wanted to get up and leave.

Leaving was just an idea after all, and these Jiangdong troops didn't really move.

There are still Han troops all around, and they are not sure if they really choose to leave, whether they will be slaughtered by the Han army!

Especially Zhou Yu's last sentence dispelled many thoughts of Jiangdong Army leaving.

With no money or food, they had to hunt wild beasts or find some wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger along the way, and they had a long way to Jianye, and they didn't know how many people would succeed in returning.

"If you are willing to join our army, from the time you put into service, you will be like the soldiers of our army, with the same clothes, food, and housing!" From the faces of many Jiangdong soldiers, seeing their intention to leave, Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and then shouted: "At the end of each month, follow the practice of the Han army to pay military salaries!" ”

I thought that staying would only become a slave, but I didn't expect that it was possible to become a Han army, and all the Jiangdong Army prisoners were stunned.

Just when they were stunned, several Han soldiers came to them with several large cauldrons of cooked corn.

There is not a lot of corn, and it is steaming white.

The wind blew over the pot and blew the aroma of corn to the captured officers and men of the Koto Army.

"Those who are willing to serve our army can go here to get food!" A few more soldiers came carrying wooden barrels containing dried meat, and the Han army officers who led these soldiers shouted to the Jiangdong army officers.

There was no arrangement, and when the soldiers arrived with corn and meat, Zhou Yu turned his head to look at Sima Yi with a stunned expression.

Approaching Zhou Yu a little closer, Sima Yi whispered: "If you want to recruit them, you have to give some sweetness after all!" ”

As soon as Sima Yi said this, Zhou Yu suddenly realized.

After talking for a long time, it is more useful for the captured officers and men of the Jiangdong Army to give them some practical ones.

A young Jiangdong soldier squatting not far from Zhou Yu looked at the steaming white corn and swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, looking greedy.

Sensing his expression, Zhou Yu glanced at one of the soldiers behind him.

The soldier nodded and strode towards the young Jiangdong Army.

"Would you like some food?" When he arrived in front of the young Jiangdong army, the soldier raised his hand and pointed at the cauldron and said to him: "Just serve our army, and you can eat it!" ”

Young people are young people after all, they have been fighting all day, and they are so frightened that they almost lost their lives, and the Jiangdong soldiers stood up, didn't say anything, and walked towards the cauldron of corn.

There are many things that are immediately responded to as long as someone takes the lead.

Things like serving the Han army have been recognized by most of the Jiangdong Army, but no one has taken the lead.
