In the east, a red sun rises from the horizon, shining brightly on the world.

The gravel roads were littered with dead bodies and wounded soldiers, and teams of Han soldiers spontaneously began to treat the wounded, clean up the dead and clean up the battlefield.

At this time, a Han general on a horse walked over to Wang Jun, turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists at Wang Jun and said: "In Xia Cao Cao, the word Mengde, thank you for the support of your feet, I don't know what your feet are?" ”

Wang Jun hurriedly turned over and dismounted, looked at Cao Cao, and saw that he was short in height, but his body was strong, his skin was a little rough, and he was heroic and extraordinary, and he had a heroic spirit, and he hugged his fists and smiled: "In Xiayingchuan Wang Jun, there is no word yet, I started to chase and kill the Yellow Turban Army from Changshe City, and it was only a good time to meet Cao Duwei." ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Wang Jun, only to see that he was eight feet tall, with a face like a crown of jade, a pair of sword eyebrows, deep eyes, and countless stars spinning inside, hiding countless secrets, giving people a feeling like a jade spring breeze.

He asked with some confusion: "Brother Wang seems to know a lot about so-and-so?" ”

Wang Jun coughed dryly, and hurriedly replied: "Of course, Brother Cao is the captain of the northern part of Luoyang, and the deeds of setting up a five-color stick and killing Jian Tu can be said to be widely spread. ”

Cao Cao was very happy when he heard this, although he was very proud of this incident, but because of this incident, he ended up being dismissed for the first time.

Cao Cao noticed that the soldiers had finished cleaning the battlefield and the corpses were burned on the spot, and said with a smile: "There is nothing to do here, it is time for a certain person to report to General Huangfu, Brother Wang will go with him?" ”

"Go together, go together." Wang Jun said with a smile.

The two rode side by side, pointing to the surrounding scenery from time to time and laughing, followed by their respective brigades, escorting the yellow turban thieves, and walking towards Changshe City in the morning sun.

A fresh breeze came, and the smell of burnt and barbecued meat came to my nose, and I saw that the Han army was watching the Yellow Turban captives work, digging deep pits one after another, and then throwing the corpses into them and burying them.

On the right side of Changshe City are three newly opened cells, outside which thousands of Han soldiers stand armed with spears and crossbows, always guarding the movement of the cells to prevent riots.

The cells were simply enclosed with wooden bars, and inside were squatting captured Yellow Turban thieves, tied together every ten.

One after another, there were returning Han soldiers, holding dozens of people, or even hundreds of Yellow Turban prisoners, all of whom were sent to this humble cell.

As soon as Wang Jun and Cao Cao arrived at the city of Changshe, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xi Zhicai and Zhao Yun immediately rushed over and bowed: "My lord." ”

Wang Jun dismounted, helped a few people up, and said with a smile: "A few people have worked hard." ”

"This is what subordinates should do, and they don't dare to say bitterness." The four replied in unison.

Cao Cao saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei for the first time, and called them heroes in his heart, Fan Hao was reincarnated, and he was very envious of Wang Jun's collection, his eyes were full of heat, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Wang, don't you hurry up and introduce one or two for someone." ”

Wang Jun knew when he saw Cao Cao's expression, and he also fell in love with Guan Yu and a few people, but the loyalty of a few people in his heart, so he introduced Cao Cao: "This is a play loyalty, a joy of Zhicai, and a strategist for me." Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide. Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong. ”

After a pause, he sighed: "I have their help, which can be described as a blessing for three lives." ”

"The lord has a good reputation." Xi Zhicai smiled humbly.

Then he said: "This is Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, the commander of the cavalry." ”

The four of them bowed their hands to Cao Cao and said in unison: "I've seen Lord Cao." ”

Cao Cao hurriedly said, "The four of you, please get up." ”

Cao Cao was just about to say a few words to the four of them, Wang Jun hurriedly said, "Brother Meng De, I have arrived in Changshe City, and it is time to meet General Huangfu and General Zhu." ”

Cao Cao was stunned, nodded and said, "It should be so, since this is the case, let's enter the city quickly." ”

Several people entered the city and went straight to the palace to meet Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

The doorman brought a few people into the welcome hall, served tea and dried fruits, and asked a few people to wait for a while, and the two of them came over.

After a while, Huangfu Song, who was dressed in gold armor, and Zhu Junlai stepped into the welcome hall together, and saw Wang Jun and Cao Cao with outstanding temperament at first sight.

The two sat in the first place, and did not greet Cao Cao first, but said to Wang Jun: "Presumably this is Yingchuan Wang Jun, I don't know what your words are?" Whether it is filial piety and honesty, and what is the official position? ”

Wang Jun got up, hugged his fists and said: "Under it, he is white, without words, he has never raised filial piety, and he is an ordinary person." ”

Zhu Jun sighed and said, "There are many heroes in the cold family. ”

Huangfu Song also nodded in agreement, and said: "Wang Jun, you have made such a great contribution this time, and you will definitely go to the court and ask the court to commend you." ”

"Thank you, General Huangfu." Wang Jun bowed slightly.

Huangfu Song turned his head to look at Cao Cao and asked, "Meng De, why did you bring troops to the Changshe?" ”

Cao Cao respected the qualities of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun very much, and when he heard Huangfu Song's inquiry, he replied respectfully: "Back to General Huangfu, Your Majesty was greatly shocked to learn the news of Zhu Jun's defeat, so he urgently recruited a certain leader as a reinforcement for the two generals, and obeyed the dispatch under the general's command." ”

Huangfu Song touched his beard and said lightly: "Okay, from now on, you will listen to the tune under a certain command." ”

Wang Jun remembered that Huangfu Song had killed prisoners in Changshe City in history, and couldn't help but feel unbearable about those prisoners, and asked: "General Huangfu, there are already forty or fifty thousand captives outside Changshe City, and there are still yellow turban thieves who have been sent back one after another, I don't know what the general is going to do with these people?" ”

Huangfu Song's eyes were full of murderous anger, his face sank, and he said sharply: "In order to let those Yellow Turban thieves know that rebellion is a big crime, they will not be pardoned because they surrendered, and it is also to hit the morale of the Yellow Turban Thieves." ”

"After consulting with Gongwei, it was decided to kill these captives."

As soon as these words came out, the people of Xi Zhicai looked weird, and couldn't help but look at Wang Jun, who was sitting on the side, and said secretly in his heart: It seems that what the lord said a few days ago is too right, as long as the battle of Changshe is won, Huangfu Song will kill the prisoners.

Cao Cao was dedicated to being a Han at this time, so he naturally understood the disadvantages of killing prisoners, and immediately retorted, saying: "I don't agree with this matter, General Huangfu, you were born in Jiangmen, and you should know the unknown truth of killing prisoners." ”

"The other two generals should also know that once you kill the prisoners, they will inevitably ruin their reputations."

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun glanced at each other slightly, Zhu Jun sighed, and said: "Meng De, how can you not understand what you said, but if you don't use thunderbolt methods, how can you scare Xiaoxiao." ”

Wang Jun's face remained unchanged, and he inadvertently noticed that Huangfu Song's expression was different, and his heart moved, and he said secretly: I'm afraid that it is not only these reasons that the two of them said, but the deeper purpose is probably Huangfu Song's self-defilement!

However, for the sake of the lives of those people outside the city, Wang Jun still opened his mouth to intercede, saying: "General Huangfu, your idea of killing prisoners is good, and I agree with it." ”

Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, he thought that Wang Jun would intercede for the Yellow Turban Thief outside the city, but he didn't expect Wang Jun to say this, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed in Wang Jun in his heart, so he was ready to plead with Huangfu Song.

At this time, I heard Wang Jun say again: "I'm afraid that General Huangfu has already prepared the idea of letting the imperial court quell the rebellion every year and suppress the uprising every year." ”

Zhu Jun was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "What do you mean by Wang Jun's words?" ”

"First of all, once today's prisoner killing scandal is exposed, the remaining hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves will probably fight to the death and will never surrender again. They were afraid that after surrendering, they would be slaughtered by the generals. Wang Jun said.

Several people in the room nodded subconsciously, feeling that what Wang Jun said was very reasonable.

"Therefore, even if they are defeated, they will only scatter and flee, and will never surrender, and surrendering to your court will not pardon their crimes anyway. In the end, they can only fall into the grass, or become bandits to plunder the countryside. From now on, the Taiping World can officially come to an end, and there will be no fierce generals and a large number of guards in the future, so there is no need to expect to go out. ”

"Just one person or a few people, as long as the number of Yellow Turban Thieves is slightly larger, they may be robbed and killed."
