Chapter 218: Judgment
"It's a bit cruel to bring such a young child to the battlefield. Wu Yingying saw that the child was leaning weakly on his father's arms, his little face was pale, his lips were purple, and a trace of guilt rose in his heart, and he whispered to Dong Ce, the captain of the personal guard beside him. These words woke Shi Xiutu from his contemplation, and saw a Han general in a purple robe looking at his father and son with pity. "Nothing, these things, men have to face sooner or later. Shi Xiutu replied, reaching out and touching the top of his son's head. Although he was a defeated general, he did not want to fall into the Uighur man's pretensions in front of the enemy.
Wu Yingying couldn't help but smile when he heard what he said, the soldiers of the Heng camp who were guarding the prisoners of war not far away had already recognized him, and they all saluted him, and the captain Shi Yuanguang also rushed to see him: "See my lord, you personally inspect the Heng camp, but what are your orders?" Wu Yingying smiled: "The top and bottom are all in order, and there is Captain Lao Shi." After some encouragement, he added: "If the Uighur children in these prison vans need water, they can be given priority. He was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly Shi Xiutu in the prisoner car next to him said loudly: "How will we be dealt with?" Compared with the Tibetan and northern Mobei tribes, the Han army still had a glimmer of leeway, and although Shi Xiutu was not afraid of death, he hoped to seize the opportunity to persuade the leaders of Lanzhou not to kill the Uighur tribes.
Wu Yingying saw that he was imposing, very different from the decadent Tang just now, and was slightly stunned, and Yu Fu Renliang immediately said beside him: "This person is one of the ten governors of the Uighurs of Ganzhou, and his name is Shi Xiutu. ”
"Hmm. Wu Yingying nodded slightly, this situation of Shi Xiutu was known before Lanzhou sent troops, his family was devout in Buddhism, and his subordinates rarely did burning, killing, adultery, and plundering, so they were a chess piece that could be fought for. Wu Yingying thought slightly, looked at Shi Xiutu, and said in a deep voice: "I, the Lanzhou Western Expeditionary Army, hangs the people and fights for the heavens." As long as the Hexi is pacified, the elders of Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, and Nestorian will be asked to be notarized to judge those who committed crimes in the war one by one. The murderer dies, and the rape and plunderer will be rewarded!" Wu Yingying paused, glanced at the surrounding Uighur prisoners of war, and said: "Not only that, but for those villains who cannot atone for their sins by death, I will also gather the elders of various sects in Lanzhou, and issue a poisonous curse after the execution, and send them down to the eighteenth layer of hell, and they will not be able to be reborn after death!"
Hearing Wu Yingying's words so categorical, Shi Xiutu's face couldn't help but stagnate, the Shi family has believed in Theravada Buddhism for generations, and he also deeply hated all kinds of cruel and unkind practices with the Uighur army, but there are thousands of Uighur soldiers who have been involved in these sins, is it possible that the Lanzhou army will not be able to kill all of them? Shi Xiutu saw that some of the Uighur soldiers around him had faces like ashes, and asked hesitantly: "The Han people have a saying that the law does not blame the people, and the Buddhism also says to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot." Can't your army give these Uighurs who have committed sins a chance to mend themselves?"
In fact, Xiao Jiu, Chase and other Han officers have already admonished Wu Yingying, this is the end of the five generations of troubled times, not to mention that this northwest four wars of the wild land, is the hinterland of China, soldiers burning, killing and looting is also commonplace, if it is tortured, I am afraid that the resistance to sweeping the Quartet in the future will be several times greater.
Seeing that Shi Xiutu and the other Uighur prisoners of war were all looking at him, Wu Yingying held back the anger in his heart and sneered: "The Han people also have a saying that repays grievances with straightforwardness, and Buddhism calls it karma. Our army marched along the Hexi Corridor for several days, and all the sights along the way were ruined and ruined, and the places where the people used to flourish in the past were all ghosts! Those who have committed crimes had better go down to the ground in person and ask the countless unjust souls if they have answered! "Mercy to criminals is a crime against good people." No matter what the reason is, the superior person pardons the criminals who committed heinous crimes in the war, and he is generous to others, just ask his own parents, wives and children, who have been slaughtered and raped, can they still talk to the jackals for forgiveness so calmly!
These Ganzhou Uighurs, if they were indiscriminately killing and deterring, would inevitably provoke rebellion, and if they were blindly gentle, they would indulge them even more. Before the Lanzhou army set out, it was decided that the Lanzhou army would take over the scattered Uighurs as moe households, and thoroughly establish the Lanzhou army's power to control the territory west of the river, not only in force but also in spirit, and to completely defeat the will of resistance among the Uighurs in Ganzhou, even if it took a little more effort. For this reason, after the successful surprise attack on Ganzhou, Wu Yingying immediately sent a message to Xiao Jiu, who was left behind in Lanzhou, ordering him to organize the elders of the Inquisition to come to Hexi to jointly organize a joint trial of the Uighur war criminals by the religious elders and the officers of Lanzhou.
Shi Xiutu's expression was gloomy, and he knew more about the atrocities of the Uighur army than Wu Yingying, "Then for my Hexi Uighur tribes, can the general have any arrangements? If the general is willing to open up the net and be willing to be a lobbyist for the general, the leaders of the various departments in Ganzhou will pay tribute every year!" He still has a trace of hope in his eyes, hoping that the Lanzhou army will continue to accept the Uighur tribes to live and multiply in Hexi, just like the Guiyi army, and as long as the race is not destroyed, after a few generations, the trend of victory and defeat will not be without a turning point.
Wu Yingying looked at Shi Xiutu with some surprise, the information about him only mentioned that this person was a rare general among the Uighur tribes of Ganzhou, and he had an upright temperament, but he did not expect that he would be willing to stoop to be humiliated in order to preserve the continuation of the race. Originally, he had the intention of collecting Shi Xiutu, but at this moment, he pressed the words of recruitment in his heart, this person was not as simple as it seemed, Wu Yingying said leisurely: "I Lanzhou but the marching sergeant has the system of Meng Hu, and the Uighur tribes in Ganzhou will naturally be assigned to the sergeant. If the governor of Shi Du was interested, he could win the status of a sergeant with courage after the trial of the Uighur war criminals, and the sergeants of our army would not only have a respectable status and good treatment, but also be able to protect their relatives and friends. The detailed system will be shared by the princes of the horizontal camp with all the Uighur athletes. After speaking, regardless of whether Shi Xiutu understood what he meant, he turned to leave, thinking as he walked, this Ganzhou Uighur tribe is no better than the Mobei barbarians, and they already have a considerable national consciousness, and it will take more energy and thought to digest it all under the Lanzhou system. Suzhou is located at the western end of the Hexi Corridor and has always been the key point of east-west transportation in the Eurasian continent. In the Western Han Dynasty, the hussar general Huo Qubing defeated the evil king, expelled the remnants of the Xiongnu out of the Yumen Pass, and moved hundreds of thousands of Han people to this place to reclaim and cultivate, so the water quality of the land is sweet and cold like wine, the Han Dynasty placed Jiuquan County here, for thousands of years, the Han border people lived under the siege and plunder of the barbarians on all sides. Three hundred years ago, the Tang dynasty declined, Suzhou was captured by the Tibetans, and the lives of the sword soldiers were devastated, and after a short period of recovery of the Guiyi army, about a hundred years ago, Suzhou was captured by the Uighurs. Tens of thousands of Hermes-mes-Epitek were relegated to untouchability.
