The most important thing is that the Tang army will probably be able to obtain military information from the prisoners - at present, the Tang army's thirst for intelligence is even stronger than the thirst for military resources.
After interrogating the captives, Guo Luo learned that the leader of the Hui army this time was a general of Talas's high status, named Ali, and he drew out the low-level soldiers and middle-level commanders from the captives, and the low-level soldiers generally did not have access to the decision-making of the upper levels, and could not learn the high-level information from their mouths, and the main role was to let them identify the generals and corroborate the confessions of the generals from the details they revealed.
Guo Luo said: "Those generals are very dishonest, and what they say contradicts each other, and none of them are trustworthy. "He isolated and interrogated those Hui commanders, and in this case, it is easy to agree on the truth, but the lies are bound to be dismantled, so he knows that those Hui commanders are lying.
Zhang Mai said: "Although our military discipline has a clause that prisoners must not be abused, we have to use some extraordinary means in a hurry. β
Yang Yi shouted: "Alotai Sven, I'll go!" "He had just come back from the battlefield, covered in blood, and he had no time to wash it off, and he looked like a hellish god of killing.
Guo Shiyong stopped him: "What means can you have?" Left and right are just whipped with whips, I just went to the prisoner camp to inspect it, and many of those Hui generals are tough guys, especially that Ali, who was so badly injured, he didn't even hum, I don't think you can make him speak. β
"What then?"
Zhang Mai said: "Bring that Ali here, and I will interrogate him personally." β
Guo Shiyong stopped him again, and said: "Special envoy, there is a difference in hearing the Tao, there is a specialization in the art industry, you don't have a fierce look on your face, the murderous spirit is not enough, Yang Yiruo can't do it, I'm afraid you may not be able to make that Ali speak, it's better to leave this matter to An Jiu." β
Guo Luoyang Yi exclaimed when he heard this: "An Jiu? Is he in the army? Guo Luo said: "He should belong to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he can't fight, how can he be in the army?" β
Guo Shiyong said: "Dadu Hu thinks that he may be needed for this trip, so let me take him with me." β
Zhang Mai asked, "Who is An Jiu?" β
When he heard this name, he looked like An Liu's brother, and sure enough, Guo Shiyong said: "It's Uncle An's brother." He is a good hand at torture. β
Zhang Mai was a little strange when he heard it, there are not many original residents of New Broken Leaf City, and almost all of them know about Zhang Mai, who has a skill, but this An Jiu is not only the brother of An Liu, but it seems that Guo Shiyong's tone is also a capable person, and he actually doesn't know, because he asked: "Why don't I know him?" β
"He is a person who lives in the dark, and he has some quirks, and his status is not high when he is in the new Broken Leaf City, and everyone hates him, and they don't usually talk about him, so the envoy naturally doesn't know, in fact, the envoy doesn't have to know about him." Guo Shiyong said.
Zhang Mai became even more curious when he heard this: "Why don't you like him?" β
Yang Yi frowned and said, "Who would like him, he is full of the smell of death, I had nightmares when I saw him when I was a child." β
Zhang Mai smiled: "There are people who are even afraid of you?" Then I'd love to see him. After a while, Ma Xiaochun came back, his face looked like he had just eaten a bunch of flies, and replied: "Special envoy, he ...... He refused to come. β
"Why?" Zhang Mai asked.
"The man was a strange man, hiding in a dark corner, and his voice was strange, and when he heard that the envoy had summoned him, he refused to come out, and when I asked him why, he could not tell why." Ma Xiaochun said, and couldn't help but interject: "Special envoy, don't see him, that person is like, like a snake, hiding in a hole for fear of seeing people, and ......" Thinking that he is from the Hidden Stele Valley, that An Jiu is from the New Broken Leaf City, and it seems to be someone from An Liu, who has a great identity in the army, but don't offend him, so he didn't say any more.
Guo Shiyong also said: "Special envoy, this An Jiu is not a character, but he has a strange temper and is more scary." He is considered a jailer in our New Broken Leaf City, and you are the Venerable of the Qincha, so there is no need to meet such people. β
"Jailer? We still have a prison in New Broken Leaf City? β
Guo Shiyong said with a smile: "It's no wonder that the envoy doesn't know, our new Broken Leaf City is fully organized, and the prison naturally still exists, but no one commits anything, even if he commits a crime, he will be punished with whipping, or punished with hard labor, and he generally does not need to be locked up inside, the prison is probably a fictitious one, An Jiu has no other specialty, has a strange temperament, cannot fit in, and even commits crimes. β
Zhang Mai has understood when he hears this, all ethnic groups, no matter which race or country, there is always a certain proportion of "abnormal people", marginal people, or physically disabled, or psychologically problematic, this An Jiu is probably this kind of person, An Shoujing interjected and said: "An Jiu is hated by everyone in our clan, when we migrated, some people even said that they wanted to leave him behind, don't let him follow, and he himself has no opinion - because he is an idiot person, living like a snake beast, leaving him in the mountains and forests and taking him with him, Actually, it doesn't make a difference to him. But most of the protectors refused, and he asked us a word at the time, and everyone couldn't answer, so they took him with them. β
An Jiu was also An Shoujing's uncle, but An Shoujing called him by his name, thinking that this person did have a humble status in the Tang Army.
Zhang Mai asked, "What did Dadu Hu say?" β
An Shoujing said: "Dadu Hu asked: If we leave and An Jiu is caught by Hui Hui when we turn back, do you think he will confess some news about us?" At that time, everyone couldn't answer, because everyone felt that An Jiu would not say a word, and most of them defended the way: everyone actually knew the answer, just because he had this nature, we couldn't leave him - the sage taught: 'Widows and loneliness should be raised', this is the way of the Chinese benevolent, we can still afford to raise him, how can we leave him? So they took him with them. I don't want to, but now it's useful. β
Zhang Mai was moved by Guo Shidao's words, and thought: "I, the people of the Tang Dynasty, are different from Hu Lu after all!" 'Widows, widows and loneliness should be raised', this is the great mind and benevolence that our ancestors asked us to care for the disadvantaged. Now that it's wartime, most of the protectors can still hold this front! My China can stand in the world for thousands of years without falling, it is not just the word iron and blood! β
At this time, he said: "Since everyone thinks An Jiu is suitable for this matter, let it be handed over to him." Ordered Ma Xiaochun: "There are a lot of prisoners to be interrogated this time, you go to the logistics team and select twenty people to help An Jiu." β
Ma Xiaochun responded, and when he left, Guo Shiyong advised: "You listen to An Jiu's command, arrange the 'posture' properly and leave, you don't have to watch from the side, his torture scene, and the compassion that will hurt people." β
The more Zhang Mai listened, the more curious he became, and soon Ma Xiaochun came back to report: "That person is really strange, I heard that the envoy said that he would be tortured by someone, and he was so happy, as if he had won 12,000 gold." However, he said that he could not work until dark, and that he had to work in a place where no one could see or hear, and that it was better to have a deep dungeon that would be insulated from the internal and external noises. β
This jaw is a thought, but there is no such dungeon.
Guo Shiyong shouted: "Ouch, I miscalculated, if he is interrogated in the city, we won't have to sleep tonight." β
An Shoujing said: "On the north side of Mantou Mountain, there is a small wooden house, which is a place for the herdsmen of Ba Ersi to graze and rest, it is better to let him go there for interrogation, and I will send a team of soldiers to guard the surrounding area." β
Guo Shiyong said: "That place is good. β
Ma Xiaochun took the order, Zhang Mai discussed with everyone about the future whereabouts, just talking and talking, they all felt that they had to have the latest information as a reference, talking and talking, naturally they were more looking forward to how An Jiu tortured, Zhang Mai was curious, and he wanted to go to see the situation, Guo Luo, Liu An and others actually came to stop him, and said: "An Jiu should be torturing that Ali and those generals now, the scene of him torturing people is too ...... It's too ugly, gentleman is far away, so don't go. β
Zhang Mai smiled: "What is a gentleman who cooks far away, Ah Luo, you use allusions indiscriminately, and I don't want to enter the kitchen." β
Yang Yi babbled and said, "What kind of kitchen, where An Jiu tortures people, that is the slaughterhouse." Brother Mai, don't go, An Jiu tortured the scene when I saw it, and I kept you from eating for three days. β
The more they stopped, the more Zhang Mai wanted to take a look, regardless of the obstruction, rode to the outside of the city, only to see the cabin, and there was a faint scream, the scream was so strange, it didn't seem to be a simple pain, Zhang Mai had experienced several battles, but when he heard this scream, he still had goosebumps in his hand. thought to himself: "Uncle Yong said that An Jiu was 'just more scary', listening to this miserable cry, I'm afraid it wasn't 'more scary'." β
When I got closer, I saw a group of soldiers guarding itβbut it was sent by An Shoujing. When the soldiers saw Zhang Mai bowing and saluting, Zhang Mai noticed that most of them had vomit under their feet, and asked, "What's the matter?" β
The leader and the deputy team looked at each other, a little embarrassed to speak.
Zhang Mai rode closer, and then there were a few moans, the kind of moans were more uncomfortable than the screams just now, it was really not possible in the world, Zhang Mai had some regrets here, to the front of the cabin, when he wanted to open the door, there was an inexplicable stench from the door that was not tight, it seemed to be blood, feces, stomach acid and all kinds of secretions made together, what kind of miserable situation was in the house? Zhang Mai only felt sick to his stomach, and he didn't dare to imagine it.
Guo Luo persuaded again: "Brother Mai, don't go in." Such unkind scenes are useless to see. β
Zhang Mai's hand stayed on the wooden door for a moment, and finally gave up his useless curiosity and said, "Let's go." β
When I returned to the city on the moon this night, I thought about a question in my heart: "What is benevolence?" What is unkindness? β
The experience of the past few months has made Zhang Mai see the affairs of the soldiers, from the battlefield to the battlefield, they are full of all kinds of great injustice. Some of them were even led by Zhang Mai himself. But Zhang Mai does these things in this environment, and it does not seem abrupt.
If you act in accordance with benevolence, righteousness and morality in military affairs, it is "the benevolence of Song Xianggong", which will not only inevitably lead to failure, but also be laughed at by the world, and it is the real sage of ancient times, and no one will agree with Song Xianggong's words and deeds. However, the grandson of the soldier saint emphasized that "wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage and strictness" are the five virtues of generals, and benevolence is one of them, believing that "benevolence" is a necessary condition for generals.
For the general, he must also know "benevolence" - if this was said by Confucius, Zhang Mai could not be a bird, but this was said by Sun Tzu.
For the sake of the general and unkindness, although there is a ghost and god strategy and an invincible army, it will not go far.
Even Sun Tzu believes that it is benevolence rather than violence that can win the war, so what is the real benevolence on the battlefield? How did the ancestors grasp the degree of benevolence on the battlefield? β
There are some truths, and they are also written in the book, but if you really want to comprehend it, you can't rely on reading or listening to it, but you have to rely on the iron horse and the Mo knife to experience it to really master!
"Those nations who are superstitious about small benevolence and small righteousness, such as Song Xianggong and others, have long been swept into the dust of history, and there is not even scum left, or like the ancient people of India, although they survived, they were slaves for generations - these are all sheep!"
"And those superstitious and 'violent' peoples, such as the Huns, such as the Qian, such as Rouran, such as Xianbei, even if they can run rampant for a while due to fate, will eventually shine like fireworks in the night sky and never return - these are all wolves!"
"Only Huaxia, which has the 'benevolence of the warrior', can finally rise and be reborn in the trough after several disasters! Standing still today! β
"So, my Chinese totem is not a wolf, nor a sheep, but a dragon!"
Guo Luo and Yang Yi found that Zhang Mai suddenly stopped, and held the horizontal knife on his waist on the horse, at this moment both felt that Zhang Mai's bearing had changed a little, and the three horses stood quietly under the bright moon in the shape of a pin, but Guo Luo and Yang Yi did not speak, but just looked at Zhang Mai silently from left to right.
Suddenly, Zhang Mai was not very worried about the survival and extinction of the Tang Dynasty, although at this time he had not yet completely grasped the benevolence of the old ancestor's warriors, "But when we understand this, or Chang'an will arrive!" β
