Chapter 972: Liwei
At the end of the thirty breaths, no one stepped forward.
No one wants to be a bird, especially when Xu Shu deliberately creates an extremely dangerous image.
Chen Zhi, who was expressionless, raised his left hand, and Bai Yu soldiers began to kill. The Qiang people were shocked and angry, and some people scolded and tried their best to resist, but their opponent was the Bai Yu soldiers, even if they were armed to the teeth, they could not provoke the existence, the strength of the two sides was not a level at all, and the resistance of the Qiang people was naturally in vain.
Xu Shu was not in a hurry or impatient, but he sighed secretly in his eyes.
He was reluctant to do so, under normal circumstances, it would be dishonorable to kill prisoners of war who had laid down their arms, but the Zhulu Army and the Plateau Qiang had died too many people, and the hatred was difficult to dissolve. In this case, it is necessary to deter the opponent to the greatest extent in order to create an advantage for his own soldiers.
It was Jia Xu who suggested killing and capturing Liwei.
The Liangzhou army had countless battles with the Qiang people, and Jia Xu's understanding of the Qiang people was not something ordinary people could have, so he deliberately returned to the main city to see that Yu Buzhi was unwise, one of the reasons was to tell Yu Buzhi how to deal with the Qiang people. Regardless of what to do with the plateau enclave, this information is useful until the Deer Chaser Army has not yet withdrawn from the plateau.
The Qiang people are brave, but they obey the strong.
Dealing with the Qiang people, appeasement and tenderness, they don't necessarily appreciate it, and it is easy to be honest when they beat them, and this is what the Liangzhou army did, and the effect is excellent. Now the Liangzhou Qiang tribe has a very strange view of the Liangzhou army, obviously has a deep blood feud with the Liangzhou army, and has fought many times, and then was bloodily suppressed by the Liangzhou army again and again, and was beaten to a loss of temper, and finally could only lower the noble head, and could not beat the strong, so they simply surrendered to the strong. Liangzhou Qiang is proud to join the Liangzhou army, as soon as the recruitment arrives, the Qiang warriors will bring their own dry food, weapons and war horses to join, and the tribes will also try to meet other requirements of the Liangzhou army, such as this time to chase and kill the flying army.
The various manifestations of the Qiang people clearly have symptoms of mass Stockholm syndrome.
Killing prisoners is not an end, but a means, and it is also the most cost-effective means of establishing power recommended by Jia Xu. The death of a small number of prisoners of war in exchange for the Qiang people's fear and fear of the Deer Chasing Army, and at the same time showing their determination to force the Qiang people to reassess the risks and costs of fighting the Deer Chaser Army, may avoid some unnecessary battles, or it may be because of the ruthless iron and blood of the Deer Chasing Army, so that their own side will have less sacrifices in the battle.
As for the negative effects of killing prisoners, people like Jia Xu don't care, otherwise he wouldn't be called a poisoner. In fact, suggesting that Liwei be killed is another temptation for Jia Xu's fish unwiseness, and he needs to know the degree of acceptance of certain means of refreshing the lower limit of the Lord of the Deer Chaser in order to determine his future behavior in the Deer Chasing Territory.
Killing prisoners is dirty work, but someone has to do it.
Yu Buzhi was very willing to be this villain himself, but Xu Shu insisted on coming forward himself. The reason is very simple: Yu Buzhi is a well-known prince, even if the other party is a Qiang person, doing this kind of thing in person is still likely to damage the reputation, and even be caught by guys with ulterior motives to make a big fuss. If you have to bear the infamy personally, Xu Shu would rather carry it himself. He was originally a nobody, a son of a poor family, and he would carry it after a little infamy, which was better than damaging the reputation of the lord.
The hands-on white soldiers are actually very entangled.
A dignified special class, a territorial ace unit, actually ......
The regular army that could go to the plateau was completely disabled, and the surviving soldiers were all bruised and bruised, and there was no room for Bai Yu to escape. Why don't you let someone do it? Nonsense! The purpose of killing prisoners is to establish the image of the murderous army of the deer, everyone knows that the mercenary is a mercenary who takes money to do things, and it is no problem for mercenaries to do dirty work, but the cruelty of mercenaries and the cruelty of the deer army are two different things.
On the other hand, the tragic situation of the flying army is just around the corner, and the white soldiers are naturally the same enemy. Imagine how the flying army enjoyed humane treatment when they were chased and killed? There were more than a thousand iron-clad men, and only a few dozen of them came back alive in the end! In addition, it was the execution of military orders, and Bai Yu didn't mind getting some more blood on his hands. Revolt? It's just right, it's a bit hard to let go of the killing if you don't resist, in fact, Bai Yu can't wait for the Qiang people to resist, although he knows that the other party is forced to fight for his life, but if you resist, you can more or less alleviate some of the guilt in your heart.
Bai Yu killed more than twenty people in one go, and Chen Zhi's raised left hand was finally put down.
The Qiang people huddled together in horror, and no one doubted the ferocity of the deer chasers.
Xu Shu spoke again: "Five people, still thirty breaths, start the timer." ”
This time, the Qiang people did not dare to rub in any longer, and quickly elected five deputies.
The five Qiang people are relatively old, they should be the elders or leaders of the tribe, they are more prestigious in the clan, and they need people to directly face the evil Han strategists, so they can only stand up hard. No one knew what the Han advisors would ask and how they planned to treat them, but with Xu Shu's ruthlessness before, it was not a small risk to be a representative, and the five representatives were mentally prepared for the worst outcome, and the captured Qiang people were also nervous, looking at the clansmen standing in front of them worriedly.
What happened next was unexpected.
Xu Shu chatted with the Qiang representatives for a while, and the five were allowed to leave.
There was a commotion in the crowd.
"Be honest!" Bai Yu made a full set of plays, and issued a warning like a fierce god.
The Qiang people of this tribe did not catch up with the battle of Shanliang, and I heard those Qiang people who escaped that the Han people had a spear team that was difficult to contend with, and even the invincible fire bull array was helpless to take them, and the Qiang people originally did not believe it, how could the flesh and blood block the fire ox? Either the other party is not a person, or the defeated Qiang people are talking nonsense! But today's fight with Bai Yu, they have seen the strength of Bai Yu's soldiers, and the legend of carrying the fire bull array is particularly terrifying, and no one dares to ignore Bai Yu's deterrence.
The five Qiang representatives walked back and said a few words to everyone, and the crowd quickly returned to calm.
After pacifying the clansmen, the five representatives left in a hurry.
They were allowed to leave on two conditions.
First, a young Han woman disappeared while fleeing, and a group of soldiers protecting her were all killed, and Xu Shu affirmed that the woman was still alive and probably fell into the hands of the Qiang. They must find the woman and ensure her safety in exchange for the captured clansmen. There is a time limit for the exchange of hostages, three days. And Xu Shu told them that if a woman was injured or insulted, a varying number of prisoners of war would be killed depending on the degree of injury. If the woman dies, all prisoners of war will be buried with her. The delegates knew that if they didn't fall into the hands of their own clan, it could only be done by other clans, and they were not sure how Jia Zhu would be treated, so they could only hurry back to find out the news, and no one dared to ignore Xu Shu's warning.
Second, the enclave is currently unproductive, there is no surplus food to feed the captives, and if they do not want the captives to starve to death, the delegates will be freed to send a batch of food.
There is no problem with food, you can raise it from other tribes, or find nearby tribes to borrow sheep to solve your urgent needs, this time it is a collective action, I believe that other tribes will not be stingy. The assassin is the first condition, Jia Zhu can only go back to inquire where he is now, the longer the time drags on, the higher the probability of Jia Zhu being injured or killed, and the first to pay the price must be the captured clansmen.
