Chapter 442: Killing the Prisoner
Flutter –
Li Yun threw down a party member who had been captured like a thin burden from his war horse, and laughed arrogantly: "Second brother, fortunately, I am not dishonored, this is the general of the party person." ”
Can't be wrong, the armor of the Wugutai is completely different from the ordinary party soldiers, most of the party members don't have decent armor at all, they are all worn indiscriminately, but the Wugutai is different, this product even has a silk lining, and some of the fabric is exposed, which makes him very abrupt.
Li Kui glared at Li Yun angrily, when did he order Li Yun to arrest the generals of the party members, this thing always likes to play freely, and he puts gold on his face at every turn.
However, the fact that the general of the party was captured is at least good news.
Li Kui couldn't refute Li Yun's arbitrary claims, and said, "It's hard work!" ”
"Haha, I'm lucky." Li Yun felt the jealous gazes around him, laughed insolently, and even several of his subordinates couldn't help but cover their faces, my lord, you didn't say that before! Fortunately, merit is merit, and there is no false one on the battlefield. No matter how arrogant Li Yun is, he still has arrogant capital.
Wugutai was thrown by Li Yun, and when he reacted that he was captured alive, the feeling of humiliation filled his heart, he lay on the ground, he couldn't see the expression on his face, but he wanted to die in his heart. But the noisy sounds around him still made him can't help but look up at Li Kui.
Huh!
Wugutai gasped, Li Kui's appearance was very intimidating, especially the burly body, which had a kind of energy that made people fearful. Maybe this kind of appearance is what a peerless general looks like, right?
He pretended not to wake up and wanted to continue pretending to be dizzy, but he heard someone say above him, "My lord, what are we going to do next?" ”
"Originally, I was going to defeat these party members, and then go to Pingrong Village and even Longzhou to have a look. The scale of the attack launched by the party members this time is not small, and the domestic troops must be empty, if we sneak into the territory of the Western Xia Kingdom, we may be able to burn Longzhou City. ”
Since Li Xian of the Great Song Dynasty, the Song army has never invaded the state capital in Western Xia. Now that more than 20 years have passed, although Li Kui's words may not be abrupt in the Shenzong period, they are still a little arrogant to today's Great Song Dynasty.
But Li Kui led more than 1,000 infantry and 300 cavalry to defeat 3,000 party cavalry, and he said at this time that he would go to Lingzhou to catch the Empress Dowager Liang of Western Xia and come back as a footwasher, and no one would object.
It's not that there is no objection, and the Wugutai sounds very unpleasant.
He thought that the Song army was just trying to prevent him from crossing the river valley to the front line, but he didn't expect that the generals of the Song army would actually wipe out the army led by him, and then go to the Western Xia to cause domestic disaster.
But when he glanced at the surrounding Song Army's equipment, he was a little worried.
Not the Western Army!
The Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty was very strong, but the equipment was definitely not as good as the forbidden army from Beijing. After all, the Western Army existed to defend against Western Xia, but the Jingying was the face of the Great Song Dynasty. The two can be judged.
But he still couldn't help but want to question Li Kui, you are a little person, even if you are the envoy of the Song Army, you don't dare to be so arrogant. But will civilian officials appear on the battlefield?
The answer is yes.
But it will definitely not appear on the most dangerous battlefields.
Li Kui has been a master who has rushed into the battlefield to fight before, how can such a person be a civilian official?
Thinking of this, Wugutai raised his head and could no longer tolerate Li Kui's arrogance, and said with little confidence: "This Song general, I have millions of soldiers in Western Xia, how can it be an existence that you can peep into?" ”
After saying that, Wugutai deliberately pretended to be arrogant, although the captive was a captive, there was no way to change it. But at least he can pretend to be righteous and awe-inspiring, so that the Song people can take a look at it. But in this way, it would not be like to continue lying on the ground, and Wugutai also wanted to jump up from the ground in one go, but he was stabbed in the back by Li Yun, and he was still on the ground from the horse, and it hurt everywhere on his body. I had to slowly get up from the ground with a frown.
He staggered and stood up straight, wanting to look at Li Kui at eye level.
However, fate played a joke on him. is also a commander of the army, most of the Song army are tall and brave, not necessarily strong in martial arts, but tall people and horses are necessary conditions. Wugutai stood up and measured the height difference between him and Li Kui with his gaze, one head, this height made him almost desperate, could it be that he failed, and even his height had to bully him?
Li Kui looked at Wugutai in surprise and sneered: "The general of the defeated army still dares to speak bravely? "Then I felt a little curious, what this thing said just now was the official dialect of the Central Plains, right?
"Do you know how to speak the official language of the Great Song Dynasty?"
Wugutai didn't want to answer Li Kui's unreasonable question, what happened to him mastering a foreign language? The nobles of Western Xia, as long as they are literate, who can't read and write in Song?
However, it seems that this has become a stain on his defeat, because he was captured alive, not a Western Xia nobleman who died in battle.
Wugutai held on to Gao Leng and muttered, "I am a nobleman. ”
Aristocrats must have aristocratic courtesy. The rule of the steppe people is that the moment the proud head of the nobleman is lowered, he will show his submission, and the victor will give courtesy. But the Song army was different, the Song army's generosity was notoriously indiscriminate, and any enemy who carried a prisoner could live a good life.
Of course, those who die without repentance do not count, and in the end they will be raised by the Song people's cultivation techniques and then killed as sacrifices. But most of the party captives were able to lay down their arms and sign their submission, and the Song would give them enough benefits. It is even possible to be an official, and then give money and land, which is a beautiful thing that is not even thought of in the grassland, but it has become accustomed in the Great Song Dynasty. Because most of the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty would be stupid to think about reforming the captured captives of Western Xia.
Of course, this kind of thing would not be spread among the commoners of Western Xia, but the nobles knew about it.
Therefore, Wugutai did not have much resistance to being captured. He even considered gathering the other subordinates who surrendered, and then bargaining with the civil officials of the Song people, at least to be able to gain the dignity of a nobleman in the Song realm. The best place to go, of course, is to go to the army of the Ori family and serve as the commander of the army.
It's just that Wugutai will be disappointed when he says anything, because Li Kui has no awareness of this at all.
What a preferential treatment for captives!
Probation of the alien!
What does all this have to do with him?
Then Li Kui looked down at the Wugutai with bad intentions, and without warning, he suddenly kicked it, and saw the Wugutai fall to the ground as if he had been thrown out, one leg showed a strange bend, drooping beside him, and then wailed in pain.
Wugutai didn't think about what happened to him after he was captured, he thought about the Song army's beef and mutton to influence him, but he was ruthlessly refused; He thought that the Song army would corrupt him with money, and he would not refuse ruthlessly; He even thought about the Song Army's beauty scheme...... He hadn't completely thought about whether he wanted to refuse.
But he couldn't say anything first, the generals of the Song army were so unreasonable, they didn't say a word, and coldly kicked off his Luo Quan's leg.
Such a situation made Wugutai say that he couldn't believe anything, he met Song Jun?
Even if he cried and wailed a few times, Wugutai was a general of the party after all, although his momentum was almost lost at the moment of defeat, he still dared to lie on the ground, his eyes were vicious and hateful to Li Kui, and he gritted his back molars and said coldly: "Song people, you will cause you a big disaster, I am a captive, you shouldn't treat a nobleman like this, I will go to your civil officials to sue you, you are dead!" ”
If you change to a Song army general, you will definitely have a headache.
Any captive of the party nobles would be treated like a treasure in the Song army. After all, how valuable a party aristocrat is who can read and write, and a lot of information can easily come out of their mouths. Just give a little insignificant benefit. But this one doesn't work with Li Kui.
"A captive should look like a captive, beep again, and the master will kill you!"
From Li Kui's indifferent eyes, Wugutai saw this kind of cold-bloodedness that didn't care about life and death, and he trembled suddenly. However, isn't this product afraid of being pursued by civilian officials?
Different from the commoners and slaves of the party, the identity of the party nobles is very popular, and as soon as they put it on, the party people tried their best to get rid of the impression of the Central Plains culture, create writing, and maintain their own customs. On the other hand, however, the party members were eager to invite all the scholars from the Central Plains to spread the advanced culture and technology of the Central Plains. This is a very contradictory emotion, which leads the party members to study and learn the culture of the Central Plains. Mengxue started from the Central Plains culture.
After all, the party didn't even have words a few decades ago.
Even now, because of the unreasonable design, the party script is much more difficult to learn than Chinese characters, and it cannot be popularized in China. It's a sad ending. But at the same time, the aristocratic class of the party had a deep understanding of the culture of the Central Plains. This makes them use the loopholes of the Central Plains culture to foreign races to obtain the greatest benefits for themselves in many unfavorable times.
This was what Wugutai did before, but he was unfortunate enough to meet Li Kui.
After discounting Wugutai's legs, Li Kui didn't look like he was in trouble at all, but instead sneered and said to Gao Yu's deputy general Feng Zhang: "Is a living prisoner worth anything, or is the head worth it?" ”
"Of course it's alive." Feng Zhang subconsciously answered Li Kui's question.
Li Kui just nodded at this result, and then said his decision: "Let the brothers select twenty party members, just follow this standard, discount the legs, and make the others into heads." ”
Feng Zhang was taken aback, and at least four or five hundred people were captured, even if there were many unlucky ones, who were seriously injured. Today's Song army is not in a position to treat these prisoners, but the army has always been very afraid of killing prisoners. In particular, if the generals in the army do this, it will arouse great resentment among the civilian class, and the eunuchs will even make things difficult and impeached.
Feng Zhang hurriedly stopped Li Kui: "Master Zhimi, I can't help it!" Although these captives are extremely evil, Lord Naomi is naturally jealous and hateful, and he can't kill the captives, which will make Lord Naomi bear unnecessary trouble. You may even be troubled by the adults in the court, and the Imperial Observatory will not let you go easily! ”
"I don't care, what are you afraid of?" Li Kui said to Feng Zhang with a cold look in his angry eyes: "Leaving twenty living mouths is for going to the Taimiao to offer prisoners when Your Majesty is happy, and twenty prisoners are enough, and it is useless to have more." As for being harassed by adults, do you think you are afraid? Besides, there are too many people, it's not easy to bring, and if you run away, won't you be busy in vain? ”
Feng Zhang didn't dare to look at Li Kui's eyes, and shrank his head in fright, but he didn't dare to collide with Li Kui. Only then did he remember that Li Kui was a civil official, and even the Queen Mother was scared of this goods, was he afraid that the big man in the court would not succeed?
Besides, Li Kui is a direct secret master, and now he is in trouble, so he followed his own general to the northwest.
Maybe Li Zhimi will return to the capital that day, and the official will be reinstated.
On the contrary, it is difficult to say about these forbidden troops, if Hao Sui is not recalled to the capital by the emperor, there is a high probability that he will live in the northwest for many years. Even when you are unlucky, you will settle on Northwest 6th Road.
Besides, according to the urine nature of civilian officials, they are likely to throw the blame on the generals when they can't stand it. Feng Zhang didn't dare to delay, and went directly to Gao Yu.
Gao Yu has a hand in accounting, and when he was under Su Shi's door before, he did accounts for Su Shi. At this time, he was in the process of counting the spoils after the victory of the war, and he could not extricate himself.
"Two thousand three hundred war horses, too many, leave one thousand two for the brothers, and sell them for money."
"What does the leather robe of the party item smell like? Smoke to death! It is estimated that it is not easy to sell when sent to the capital, so it has to be washed well. ”
"Why are these people so strong?"
……
Gao Yu pondered how much he had changed, how much he gave to Li Kui and Li Yun, and how much he gave his brothers soup to drink. Suddenly, the deputy general Feng Zhang came to him in a hurry and told him that Li Kui was going to kill the prisoner. Gao Yu was also taken aback, and then asked Feng Zhang strangely: "Did Li Zhimi say any reason?" He can't kill a captive for no reason, right? ”
Feng Zhang thought for a moment and hesitated: "Lord Zhimi said that there are too many prisoners, and it is not easy to take them. ”
Gao Yu looked at the scene of the Song army's wounded soldiers everywhere, although the number of dead in battle was far less than Gao Yu's previous estimate of the war. But such a large number of captives is indeed a very big burden. Let Li Yun take care of the prisoners, what if the credit is taken away by the cavalry? Gao Yu pondered: "That's right." ”
"My lord, it is ominous to kill prisoners." Feng Zhang said angrily.
In his opinion, Li Kui is not sensible, and the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty do not need to know too much about the doorways on the battlefield. On the contrary, it is normal to not understand. But the generals can't understand it! If you're not careful, you'll never recover! Although Gao Yu's foundation is almost there, but with the support of the emperor, the future will definitely be unlimited, in case the opportunity for promotion is lost because of a temporary lack of investigation, wouldn't it be a pity?
But Gao Yu put on a rogue look, and said helplessly: "Anyway, the order was not given by me, Renjie was originally a civil official, he wants to say kill, can you stop it?" Don't look at Renjie's bad luck now, maybe in two months, he will become our supervisor. ”
Feng Zhang was dumbfounded, he just hadn't thought about this layer.
And Li Yun has already begun to kill the captives, indeed, as Li Kui said, there are too many captives, and they can't run away at all.
After that, he buried the Song army who died in battle, and after the roster was called, Li Kui didn't care, and let Gao Yu go crazy and withdraw his troops towards Shanchuankou with all the captures.
And inside the Sanchuan Mouth, the guard Chen Qi came out of the mansion angrily, stood at the door, angrily punched the wall, and cursed in a low voice: "Dead eunuch!" ”
