Chapter 496: Just tie it up

After a while, following my father and many generals, they came to a large open space fenced off and guarded by many soldiers, and there was some leather in it, and there was felt, and the smell was stinking.

Because of the temporary construction, the conditions are not good, and they are afraid that they will not dare to let it out, more than 200 people are pulled in the feces and urine, the environment is very poor, and a large number of Yuguo generals are locked up here.

Seeing Wang Rong's arrival, many eyes converged.

Everyone saw that his identity was unusual, some people tried to beg him for mercy, saying Bianliang official dialect that he didn't understand, and some people spared their lives in an unfamiliar Guanzhong official dialect, but Wang Bian understood what was going on.

Most of these people were embarrassed, but they were also very calm, and they sat there without begging for mercy, their eyes like a pool of stagnant water.

The accompanying generals were furious and rebuked, "When they saw the Holy One, they dared not to worship!"

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to make a move, but Wang Rong stretched out his hand to stop him.

Wang Rong said indifferently, "It doesn't matter, I don't need them to worship."

These words immediately made Wuluo and the generals next to him hesitate, and a worried color appeared on their faces, Wang Rong was thoughtful and flexible, and when he saw their expressions, he immediately knew what they were worried about, and then smiled: "Do you know why I like to release prisoners of war in Bashu?"

The generals shook their heads.

Wang Rong stopped and explained to them seriously: "Two reasons, first, Bashu is relatively weak, not enough to threaten our Tang Dynasty, it doesn't hurt to let some people go back, but it can spread the prestige of our army and surrender without a fight.

Second, these places have been ruled by the Yong Dynasty for hundreds of years, and they have a high degree of recognition with the Tang Dynasty, and it is natural for them to return to the Tang Dynasty when the army arrives in the future, so these places should not be killed more, and they will be a family in 20 years."

"The Holy One is far-sighted."

"The saint has always thought about things so far, he can't think of it, he just wants to kill the enemy."

And the crowd rallied around him.

Wang Rong looked at the Yu prisoners of war not far away and said, "But Yu is different. First, Yu is located in the Central Plains of the four wars, the national strength and military strength are relatively strong, and they have no worries, unlike us, send troops to the east once, not only to guard the Taihang Mountain area, but also to appease the people of Henan County, everywhere constraints.

For them, the first thing to do is to weaken their strength, and weaken their national strength in the first place...... Kill."

In the last two words, Wang Rong bit very hard.

Saying that, he put away his smiling face, his expression became serious, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, at the beginning, the Qin State unified Liuhe, killing more than 1.1 million soldiers in total, and more than 900,000 through the hands of Bai Qi, but in the end, only the notoriety of a god-killing butcher was left, and all the reputation and merits were left to the King of Qin.

Later generations will remember the exploits of King Qin and call Bai Qi a butcher and a god. But if Bai Qi does not kill, the Six Kingdoms will not be weakened, and there will be no merits of the Qin State in the end. All deeds and deeds will be rivers of blood."

Speaking of this, Wang Rong also sighed with infinite emotion: "But many times the price is necessary. At the end of the day, human nature is inherently more evil and less good.

I once heard some scholars say that the Lord of Righteousness sacrificed his life for the people of the three armies, so it is not an exaggeration to surrender in the face of a strong enemy. This sounds reasonable at first, but the premise is that the other party is a saint, and if they surrender, they will not kill, rob, or plunder, is it possible?"

Everyone shook their heads, and some gritted their teeth and said, "Those sour literati are just farts! When the Yong army was defeated, Li Mubai, the general of the Ji State, entered Hexi County without resistance, and countless Yongguo people on both sides of the river were plundered.

This is the difference between martial artists and literati, most literati are not incompetent, but uninformed.

Living in the world of books, there is a lack of understanding of human nature, for most people, if they can grab it, they will never borrow it, and if they can occupy it, they are unwilling to waste time and effort to produce.

Only those who only read the books of the sages and sages, who hold benevolence and morality, engage in moral kidnapping, and also think of the enemy as a person who preaches benevolence, righteousness and morality, satisfy him, and if he does not resist, he will also preach benevolence and morality and let himself go.

I just want to eat fart......

Countless bloody teachings throughout history

The training is all to illustrate a truth, human nature cannot stand the test.

Seeing this, Wang Rong said directly, "It's good that you understand, this is the meaning of the price, and this is why we kill people.

But all the killings are hated by the world, despised and spurned by the literati, and they are mentioned in the history books, so it will also be the fate of those of us who are generals.

In fact, I knew these things in my heart from the beginning, so you don't have to think about it too much, you don't have to worry too much.

I'm not a good person, I don't kill, so it's better to find a small temple and become a monk, what kind of battle will I fight."

Everyone burst into laughter, and their worries were swept away.

Wang Rong said and looked at the many Yuguo generals and officials who were captured, and said, "Look at these people, even if most of them have reached this step, they are still as calm as Xiong Zhen.

They are very similar to us, we fought for the Tang Dynasty in the south and the north, they are the experienced and good generals of the Yu State who have accumulated in the southern and northern wars over the years, and are good at fighting and knowing the soldiers. I'm not going to let them go back."

When he said this, everyone looked at it.

"Holy One, have you killed them all?" Someone asked directly.

"Ask if you are willing to submit, and if you are willing, you can keep it, and don't keep the rest alive." Wang Rong instructed that Wei Qing was able to not get lost in the Mobei grassland at the beginning, and every time he smashed the Hun gathering place, it was because he bought and recruited the Huns as a guide.

Wang Rong also wants a guide for the people of Yuguo, which may be useful in the future.

Of course, everything is a double-edged sword, for example, Zhao Xin, the former general of the Huns, rebelled back to the Huns after being besieged by the Hun army, and repeatedly jumped sideways, but Wang Rong felt that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

Ulo was the first to say, "I'll do it myself."

Wang Rong nodded, he also felt that a tall and powerful killing god like Wuluo could scare people even more, and instructed: "General Wu, don't force them to surrender, and don't tell them that if you don't surrender, you will die, just ask if there are any people who surrender voluntarily, and the rest don't need to be left alive."

"Well, the last general has wanted to kill them for a long time! I'll do it myself." Wuluo was murderous, he had a blood feud with the people of Yuguo, and Wang Rong did not stop it.

After letting his soldiers take his horse to graze and eat something casually, Wang Rong went to the big tent of the Chinese army and met two heavyweights.

One is Zhu Hai, the left general of the Marquis of Xinye of Yuguo, and the other is Li Li, the general who stayed behind in Luoyang.

After he entered the big tent, the two were already sitting on the side seat, after seeing him, the two of them reacted very differently, both of them locked their eyes on him, carefully looked at his appearance, Li Lilian was so frightened that he stood up and bowed, and Zhu Hai sat on the seat steadily, motionless.

Zhu Hai, the person Wang Rong didn't know, has become familiar with it in the past few days, he was the one who led the troops to follow Wei Hua from Yuzhou to rescue Jizhou Xindu, but he failed, and all the soldiers and horses he brought were lost.

Moreover, listening to some surrendered Yu officials, Zhu Hai was one of the important ministers of Yu State, and during his time in charge of Henan County Government, he balanced taxes and labor, encouraged agricultural production, resettled a large number of displaced people, and the number of household registrations increased rapidly.

As a result, the agriculture of Henan County in Yuguo developed rapidly, and at the same time, Henan County became more and more prosperous, he was not informal, did not seek pleasure in his own administration, the people were not disturbed, and harvested many harvests of grain.

Moreover, every time Zhu Hai used soldiers, he rewarded and punished clearly and credited, winning the loyalty of his soldiers. Such a character can be regarded as not knowing and not knowing, and he was shocked when he understood it, it turned out that it was not the first time he had dealt with it.

Wuluo had already told Wang Rong that both of them would speak Guanzhong official language, after all, one of them was a Henan county guard, and the other was left behind in Luoyang, and the place under their rule was centered on Luoyang, and many caravans from Guanzhong Bashu would come to Luoyang, and they also learned about the situation of Guanzhong Tang from these merchants.

"You are the puppet Tang Emperor Wang Rong?" Wang Rong had just sat down in the main seat, but he didn't expect Zhu Hai, who was dressed in plain clothes, to speak first.

Wang Rong asked curiously, "Exactly, you are not afraid of me."

Zhu Hai said very stiffly: "They are afraid of you because they are afraid of death, and the old man has not wanted to go back alive since he was captured by you.

Naturally, I am not afraid."

Wang Rong smiled and said, "That's a pity, I didn't want to kill you."

Zhu Hai was stunned for a moment, and then snorted coldly: "If you want to ask, it's wishful thinking, the old man won't say anything, just want to die."

Wang Rong looked at the fierce Zhu Hai, a senior official like him must know a lot about the internal situation of Yuguo, which is the reason why he was not in a hurry to kill the two, but looking at this situation, it seems that he will not open his mouth if he dies.

However, he is not ready to kill this kind of character himself, and if he wants to kill it, he must bring it back to Chang'an, and kill it in front of hundreds of civil and military officials and ordinary people, so as to strengthen the country's prestige and boost morale.

So, Wang Rong smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry to die, I will make good arrangements for you, come here, take him down and take good care of him."

The pro-soldiers outside the big tent came in and took Zhu Hai, who was dressed in plain clothes, out of his old eyes, but he still didn't say a word, kept calm, and went out with the two pro-soldiers.

Suddenly, only Li Li, whose eyes were full of panic, was left in the big tent. Compared to Zhu Hai's composure, Li Li was obviously much more nervous and scared. It was even more so when I saw him, after all, the word Wang Rong alone was scary enough now.

"Li Li, I asked you, how many defenders are there in Luoyang City now, and whether there are any reinforcements in the future." Wang Rong asked, his tone was kinder than just now, for fear of scaring Li Li, he had already clearly seen that Li Li and Zhu Hai were not the same kind of people.

However, he didn't know that he had just killed tens of thousands of Yu soldiers in the past two days, and a butcher killing god suddenly spoke so kindly, which was even more terrifying.

Li Li hurriedly replied: "Back to the Holy Lord, there were originally about 70,000 defenders in Luoyang, but according to the military reports that came, now there are only more than 10,000 people left, and Guy ......

There are more than 10,000 people, and a reinforcement of 50,000 people will arrive in Luoyang from Bianliang this month, and there should be 50,000 or 60,000 people by then."

Wang Rong nodded, he didn't suspect him of lying, this is the trouble of a big country, it constantly replenishes its vitality, and the loss of tens of thousands of troops is almost equal to the destruction of the country for a small country, and it is only a partial loss of strength for a large country.

Therefore, the wars between those major powers in history are often protracted, short for more than ten years, long for decades or even hundreds of years, because it is impossible to eat them in one bite, they can only be slowly consumed and consumed.

"Tomorrow I will go east to Luoyang, you can be my guide."

"This ......" Li Li hesitated, and finally hesitated and said, "Holy Lord, it is better to kill me, if Your Majesty sees me in the same column as the Holy Lord, the old and young in the family will not be safe."

Hearing this, Wang Rong nodded and said, "It's okay, just tie you up when the time comes."

That night, among the more than 200 Yuguo generals and officials, a total of 21 were willing to surrender to Da Zhou, and the rest were all beheaded by Wuluo and others.
