Chapter 142: Kill one and make an example
"The eldest brother is going to compete for the world in the future, and the people who are fighting for the world are people-oriented, so it is better to incorporate these Yellow Turban soldiers, select their elites and train them for future use." For the sake of the great cause in the future, Guan Yu put forward the idea of incorporating these Yellow Turban soldiers.
Integrating these Yellow Turban Army, Liu Ze didn't think about what was missing in the troubled times? It's people! There are talented soldiers, and there are soldiers to have the world, and Cao Cao will not do this in Qingzhou a few years later, but after all, it will be a few years later, and it will be after Dong Zhuo's chaos, and now the Yellow Turban is in turmoil, and the court still has quite heavy authority.
Liu Ze shook his head and said: "Now the time has not come, this move is not feasible, not to mention that these Yellow Turban soldiers have long been damaged by Cheng Yuanzhi, they only know that adultery, adultery and plunder, moral corruption, if they are really absorbed, it will be difficult to control." ”
Zhang Fei looked impatient, stomped his feet and said: "You can't kill it, you can't collect it, it's really troublesome, big brother, what do you say?" Could it be that they were released so cheaply? ”
"You must let go, but you also have to give them a little punishment." Liu Ze walked to the high place and said loudly: "All the big and small leaders, as well as those who have just held women hostage, are all out of the ranks!" The soldiers around him also passed on the order, and the voices came one after another, and soon reached the ears of the 30,000 prisoners.
Most of the Yellow Turban prisoners of war held their heads in their hands, curled up and squatted on the ground, trembling, although most of these people were illiterate, but they were not stupid, and they all understood what it meant to stand up now, so although Liu Ze's order was shouted three times, none of them dared to come out of the ranks.
Guan Hai was furious, pulled the knife in his hand, and shouted: "Give you a moment, it's better for those who know each other to stand up by themselves, otherwise believe it or not, the master will chop you into eight pieces?" Whoever dares to harbor a criminal will be guilty of the same crime, and if no one is caught after a moment's time, all ten people standing around will die! ”
Not to mention, Guan Hai's voice is really a big deal, many people stood up tremblingly, and more were betrayed by their accomplices and pushed out, these yellow scarves were originally a rabble, and when they saw the catastrophe coming, who still talked about the righteousness of buddies, as soon as they heard that they were sitting, even his father and mother were sold.
In a short time, hundreds of leaders of the Yellow Turban Army were pulled out, and of course some of them were held hostage by women. Most of the women who can hold women hostage have a certain status in the Yellow Turban Army, so the two are almost overlapping, one of the leaders actually robbed eighteen women by himself, and held a string of ropes before the battle, which is indeed magnificent, and he was envious of others before, but now it seems that it has become his life-saving talisman.
Liu Ze's eyes were like a chill, sweeping over these hundreds of people, although it was the end of April, these hundreds of yellow scarf leaders were like a cold wind, and their whole bodies were shivering. Liu Ze didn't bother to talk to them, in this troubled world, the strong are respected, and the winner wants to deprive the loser of his life without trial and protection, only an order or even a gesture is enough.
Wu Anguo led two hundred cavalry to surround the hundreds of yellow turban leaders, the shining sabers in their hands shone under the scorching sun, and as Liu Ze's right hand slid down in a light arc, the two hundred sabers fell without hesitation, and after countless terrible screams, the scene was restored to death-like tranquility. Those Yellow Turban Leaders, who usually do a lot of evil, are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered at this time, and they all lose their heads without having time to struggle and resist.
The more than 30,000 Yellow Turban captives were shocked to see, their hearts were chilled, and the fear of death was oppressed in their hearts, and all of them were trembling.
Liu Ze's gaze slowly swept over the group of people, and said in a deep voice: "All of you were originally people who obeyed the law and guarded themselves, and it was the desire for profit that blinded your minds and did many things that lost your conscience. However, God has the virtue of a good life, thinking that you are pure in nature, bewitched by the wicked, the first evil has been punished, and the threat never asks, today I Liu Ze can let you have a way to live, as for whether you will be a good person after you go back, or continue to help the evil and the tiger, it is all between your thoughts, I will not interfere with your decision, and you will choose for the good or the evil. But there is one thing you must remember for yourself, I, Liu Ze, can let you go today, but if we meet again on the battlefield on another day, I will definitely not give you another chance! Come on, let go! ”
The cavalry around was ordered to dodge, more than 30,000 soldiers looked at each other, silent, as if looking for a glimmer of light in the dark, and found a life-saving straw in a desperate situation, no one dared to believe that this was true, stunned for a moment, a few bold came back to their senses, and immediately knelt down for Liu Ze, tore off the yellow scarf on his head, kowtowed: "Thank you for the general's grace not to kill, the little ones will no longer dare to rebel, and they will definitely abandon evil and follow good after returning home, and be a great good citizen." ”
As soon as the people in the lead knelt, they suddenly knelt down in a large area, and they kowtowed to thank them one after another, and the yellow scarves that were torn off were everywhere.
Liu Ze bowed his head slightly and waved them away. The soldiers poured back like a tidal wave like an amnesty.
At this moment, a voice broke off: "Wait!" The sound was like thunder, but it didn't come from Zhang Fei's mouth, but seeing Guan Yu's silkworm eyebrows lying down, his phoenix eyes widened, not angry but threatening, he was so frightened that the Yellow Turban soldiers knelt down again, and even begged for mercy.
Guan Yu took two steps and said loudly: "My eldest brother is kind-hearted and can't bear to slaughter and kill, let you live today, it is to give you a chance to change your evil and return to righteousness. ”
As he spoke, Guan Yu picked up the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and with a "click", he cut a big tree with the thickness of a bowl in half. The Yellow Turban soldiers were dumbfounded, what a domineering big knife! Guan Yu said coldly: "If you have the courage to risk yourself, you can think about whether your head is hard or not!" ! ”
The frightened yellow turbans were able to escape with their lives, and after a short time, they were all scattered, leaving only corpses and countless baggage supplies.
Zhang Fei pursed his lips and said: "Big brother is good-hearted, but who can guarantee that these people can go back and be ordinary people, according to me, after going back, there is a lack of food and clothing, and if they don't rebel, can they have another way to live?" "Zhang Fei is telling the truth, in today's troubled times, how difficult it is to be a good citizen, if you don't rebel, you really have to starve to death, either sit at home and wait for others to kill and rob, or go out to kill and rob, there is really no third way to choose.
Liu Ze sighed silently: "Do your best, listen to the destiny of heaven." ”
Guan Hai came to report that there were too many dead people and things on the battlefield, and they couldn't clean them up at all. Liu Ze looked around, and sure enough, it was really a headache to look at the dense corpses and miscellaneous things, he turned around and ordered Pan Feng to inform the school captain Zou Jing and let them clean up the battlefield.
At this time, Zou Jing was leading 2,000 men and horses to "answer" Liu Ze ten miles away, and there were shouts and fighting sounds and rapid horse hooves from time to time in front, it was clear that Liu Ze and the Yellow Turban Army's brigade had encountered, thinking about the appearance of the 500 men and horses led by Liu Ze being devoured by the murderous 50,000 Yellow Turban Army, Zou Jing couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
According to Liu Yu's order, at this moment he should lead the army to meet Liu Ze to break through, but looking at the frightened appearance of the 2,000 people under his command, Zou Jing also gave up the plan to march and used 2,000 people to attack 50,000 people, and he could calculate the result with his toes, but Zou Jing didn't have the courage to fight with the Yellow Turban Army.
After a while, the sound of fighting gradually subsided, and the front became silent, according to common sense, Zou Jing should send scouts to reconnoiter the battle situation ahead, but Zou Jing thought that Liu Ze's 500 people might have been wiped out by the whole army, and there was no point in reconnoitring again, 50,000 troops eating 500 people was just a piece of cake, according to the sound of fighting from the front, it was actually half an hour, and if he could persist in fighting in the Yellow Turban army for half an hour, Liu Ze's 500 people could be regarded as god-like survival.
