Chapter 104: Disposing of the Captives

The third man burst into tears and cried: "The villain has never killed anyone, and I don't know who has killed anyone!" Another captive next to him said: "He is telling the truth, he is just a fellow." Yang Wei slapped his forehead, this matter was really not well thought about, what can a guy know, and ordered the guards to put this person aside.

The person who spoke just now had a calm look and said, "My lord, I admit that I have killed someone, after I identify others, can I be exempt from the crime?"

Yang Wei shook his head and said, "No!" The man hung his head and stopped talking. Yang Wei ordered his guards to escort him to the side of the murderer he had just arrested. Then came the fifth, and then the sixth. Soon, the interrogation of the ten captives was completed.

Yang Wei said to the hundred guards: "Just like this, after the interrogation, it is divided into three piles, one that has killed people, one that has not killed anyone and has not identified anyone, and one that has identified the murderer. That's it, let's get started. ”

Now whether they have killed someone, identified others, or failed to identify and kill, they all looked at Yang Wei with apprehensive eyes, and they didn't know what their fate would be. Yang Wei did not execute them on the spot, which proves that there is still hope. There is no identification, there should be no danger, but looking at the corpse on the ground that is no longer convulsing, it is uncertain again. Those who have identified others are the most relieved, because Yang Wei said that they can be exonerated.

Yang Wei didn't care about them, and went to talk to Huangfu Song. Everyone got busy and started this huge project. Dian Wei was supposed to be one of these captives, but now he was the Inquisitor, which gave him a sense of unpredictable fate.

Half a day later, all the captives had been screened. Yang Wei looked at these three piles of people, the largest group of people turned out to be neither killed nor identified anyone, after Zhao Hu reported the number, Yang Wei knew that there were about 500,000 people in this pile. and then there were 150,000 people who had been killed. The least number of people who have been identified is 50,000, and some people have identified more than one murderer just to be on the safe side.

Yang Wei said to the group of people who had identified others: "You have cooperated very well, now officially pardon your crimes of being a thief, go home, live well, don't get involved in the yellow scarf again, next time I see you in captivity, I will not spare you!"

These people all had ecstatic expressions on their faces, and they all knelt down towards Yang Wei, and some of them had already cried out, thanking Yang Wei in a chaotic manner. Yang Wei said: "Get up, get out of here quickly, go home." Then they got up and went in different directions.

Yang Weicai will not leave these people, they can betray their comrades at this time, and when they arrive on the battlefield, they are also the masters who surrender on their knees, and no one dares to leave their backs to them.

Those who have killed people are the bunch of people that Yang Wei values, these are all ruthless people who have seen blood killings, and they are the most suitable for being soldiers. If you kill someone on the battlefield, either he kills you or you kill him, there is no room for manoeuvre at all. As for killing civilians, Yang Wei doesn't know him, he doesn't care if he lives or dies. There will be many big battles in the future, and the most important thing now is to use this power where it should be used.

As for the usefulness of those 500,000 people, Yang Wei has already thought about it, these people are the best cannon fodder. The scale of the subsequent battles is very large, just relying on him and Huangfu Song's strength of only 150,000 together is not enough, and it is still necessary to rely on these cannon fodder to fill in the early stage, Yang Wei is reluctant to take his town [***] to attack the city.

When the 50,000 people were almost gone, Yang Wei turned to the remaining two piles of captives and said with a cold face: "According to the law, you who have killed people should have become a corpse. But now that I have put your heads on your necks, it is up to you to show yourself whether or not you will be able to redeem your own lives. ”

These captives who had killed people were all relieved, although it was conceivable that Yang Wei's conditions must be extremely harsh, but now that they had survived, this was already the best result.

Yang Wei continued: "If you want to redeem your life, the method is very simple, kill three enemies to avoid the death penalty, kill four enemies can be freed, you can choose to go home or join the Xiyuan Army, for every two more people you kill, you can get a silver tattoo, those who kill ten people can join the Xiyuan Army as a ten-man commander, and those who kill ten people and practice qi can also join the town [***] to be an ordinary soldier." ”

Then he turned to the captives who had not killed anyone and said: "You have missed a chance to be free, but a greater opportunity awaits you, you can kill one of the enemies and get free, you can choose to go home or join the Xiyuan Army, the reward for killing the enemy has been mentioned earlier, those who kill seven people can join the Xiyuan Army as the position of ten commanders, and those who kill seven people and practice qi can also join the town [***] as an ordinary soldier." Next, I will let the deputy commander read out the treatment of the Xiyuan Army and the town [***], and you will decide for yourself. ”

After speaking, Yang Wei took a step back and motioned for Dian Wei to step forward and read out the salaries and various treatments of the Xiyuan Army and the town [***]. These people are confused, where is this punishment, this is a way out for them to make a fortune and become a soldier. And what is the Xiyuan Army and the town [***], the requirements for the town [***] to recruit soldiers are higher than the officials of the Xiyuan Army, what is it.

When they listened to the treatment announced by Dian Wei, they understood that the treatment of the Xiyuan Army was not low, and the treatment of the soldiers in this town [***] was more than three times higher than that of the ten-captain of the Xiyuan Army. If this is a soldier, who will risk being beheaded to rebel!

When Dian Wei said that the first person to attack the city would be rewarded with 100 gold, and the first person to break the city would be rewarded with 100 gold, the eyes of these captives who had killed people were glowing green, like hungry wolves. When Yang Wei saw this, he touched his bare chin with satisfaction, the military heart can be used! If they are equipped with weapons and armor, they will also be a strong army!

After Dian Wei finished speaking, Yang Wei ordered these prisoners to be escorted back to their own camp, packed up, and rested, fortunately, these prisoners also had an organization, and it was also convenient for them to manage themselves. Those who have the courage to run are not willing to run now, and those who don't have the courage to run don't have to worry, so Yang Wei is also very relieved, give them a way to live, and they will not mutiny.

It is said that the army will march early in the morning and go straight to Wancheng. Emperor Wen's strategy was that after Yang Wei solved the problem of Changshe, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's army went to Dongjun to pacify the Yellow Turban of Dongjun, and then went straight to Yecheng to strengthen Lu Zhi's forces. And Yang Wei is advancing westward to Wancheng, now that Zhang Mancheng is dead, Qin Jie is in a stalemate with Zhao Hong, and Yang Wei's leveling Wancheng is almost a sure thing.

After the Wancheng incident, Yang Wei rushed to participate in the general decisive battle of encircling and annihilating Zhang Jiao, and the Yellow Turban Chaos was decided in the first battle.
