Estar was watching Gerard with his own eyes, closing his eyes forever, and at this moment his psyche, I don't know what has changed. But from his gaze, it seemed that something had flashed.

However, he didn't say anything, and then just asked people to put his body in place. After all, he was also a generation of generals with outstanding military achievements during his lifetime!

Maybe because he saw the death of a person again, Ishtar's mood was somewhat heavy after coming out. sighed slowly: "Adjutant, get ready, I want to have a meeting!" ”

The adjutant didn't say anything, just nodded and went to work. There is no need for any other preparations, just link to a virtual network and the meeting can be held in a virtual conference room.

Waiting for all of them, all of them are online.

"Everyone, have you heard the news just now?" Ista paused to see how the men were reacting. Believing that the adjutant had already told them, most of them nodded. Then he continued: "I want to know what you guys think! ”

In a word, most of the generals present were stunned. Isn't that a good thing? Why bother with opinions?

However, there are a lot of smart people here, and these people immediately understood something in the next second. The adjutant even said directly: "Lord Yuan, do you mean that it may not be a good thing to accept these federal troops?" ”

"Yes!" Ishtar nodded expressionlessly, then thought for a moment before continuing: "I don't trust the Federation Army! You should know that Gerald and his men are all officers of the traditional faction. ”

What is a Traditional Factions? The relationship between superiors and subordinates in the army, orders and absolute obedience! As long as an officer's order is given, it must be carried out unconditionally. Otherwise, if you disobey the order or disobey the law, even if you fail in the mission, you may be sent to a feared military court!

From this point of view, most of the soldiers from the Tessakava faction practiced chivalry and heroism. That's why Horace appeared. Warfield, as long as he is a heroic character, even if he has a different political position, will not be bound by ideas.

To put it bluntly, even Gerald's men accepted his orders and chose to surrender. But whether it is an officer or a soldier, they will inevitably not be convinced from the bottom of their hearts! This is an unimaginable potential pitfall.

As soon as this powerful relationship was spread, everyone understood.

Wang Xu was silent for a moment and said something: "In history, there was an era called the Warring States, and there was a war at the end of the period. Also because the main general was killed in battle, and more than 400,000 troops were captured. ”

But as he said this, he paused. Warfield, who was sitting next to him, looked at him and asked a little strangely, "Four hundred thousand troops?" The result? ”

"The result?" Wang Xu slowly opened his mouth and said: "Because considering the 400,000 prisoners of the army, there is no way to completely control it, in order to avoid trouble, all 400,000 people will be beheaded!" ”

There is no doubt about the history of this Celestial Empire. In the Battle of Changping in the middle and late Warring States Period of the Spring and Autumn Period, the famous general Bai Qi led the soldiers and horses of the Qin State and defeated the 450,000 troops of the Zhao State with almost the strength of the whole country.

After tens of thousands of people were killed, the remaining about 400,000 people were taken prisoner. However, considering that Zhao Guo, after the reform of Hufu cavalry and archery, the military power tended to be at its peak, and even bypassed the Hangu Pass, the first dangerous pass at that time, and wanted to start a military attack on the Qin State from the north of the Great Wall.

It is precisely because of the strength of Zhao Shi's power, and because there are too many prisoners, there is no means to control it at all. Since there is no way to put it down, of course it is all killed! It is said that the supreme commander who gave this order was "given" the title "Human Slaughter" when he was in the morning.

Not to mention Warfield at this time, even the other generals present here probably can't imagine the fact that hundreds of thousands of people were all killed like this, right?

Barbara nodded her head in favor of this, agreeing to some extent: "I think this white rise at that time was right. I remember that when I was studying, I also saw relevant historical materials. ”

War is a legitimate massacre, but this famous general, because of the wanton slaughter of prisoners, may not be accepted by the world's moral concepts, right?

But if you think about it here, you should actually understand why he did it. You must know that whether it is now, or the era of cold weapons. If the equipment level of the two sides is roughly the same, the attacking side does not have a numerical advantage, and rarely dares to attack at will.

Zhao sent 450,000 troops, which was a figure that was absolutely unimaginable at that time. Therefore, if the Qin State wants to send troops, if it wants to attack the Zhao State, it will at least exceed this number. According to the data of some historical sources, the strength of the Qin State is less than 600,000!

In other words, this could be a million-strong war between two countries! Here you can think about it, what kind of tragedy will the battle of millions of people be? Moreover, it must be clear that in the era of cold weapons and in the era of agriculture, the war that lasted for three years with the Battle of Changping was exhausted.

It can be said that even if the Qin State defeated the Zhao State in the end, it was actually the end of the strong crossbow. Because just after this battle, there was an allusion to Xinling Jun stealing talismans to save Zhao. The Wei army, which originally sent 100,000 people, turned out to be only 80,000 people sent to the front line, and it would be able to defeat the Qin army that defeated the 450,000 Zhao army.

In such a weak state, how could the Qin State raise more than 400,000 enemy prisoners? So to speak, killing these captives, Barbara doesn't think it's a strategic mistake.

Of course, it's a pity that this is just a strategic error. At least after that, Zhao's vitality was greatly damaged, and it was always crushed in the subsequent war, which indirectly promoted the great cause of Qin to unify the six countries at that time. However, the people who wrote the history books obviously based on traditional moral concepts, and set the massacre of more than 400,000 prisoners by Bai Qi on the pillar of shame in history forever.

From the current point of view, the sons of Keha are also in such a dilemma at present, on the one hand, they have just experienced a big war, and now they have to accept a large number of Union surrender soldiers, what should they do?
