Huangfu Song is known as the god of war in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and has always won all battles and disobeyed any general in the court. But in this battle, he underestimated the enemy, was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops, and almost lost his life, but fortunately, a genius descended from the sky and designed to save him, so he could get out of trouble.

After listening to Li Li's strategy, he was also impressed.

Huangfu Song poured a glass of wine: "If there is no Wenjun to save me, my life will be suspended, just to talk about gratitude!" ”

Li Li has always admired Huangfu Song's talent, and he also poured wine and returned the courtesy: "Don't dare, don't dare, it should be the last general to respect the general!" ”

Cao Cao's identity and fame, compared to Huangfu Song, are not worth mentioning, and he only appeared here because he led the crowd to help in the war. He observed his words and looks, and saw that Li Li was so highly used, so he also had the intention of making friends, and immediately poured wine as a companion.

After everyone was seated.

Li Li remembered the tragedy of Huangfu Song's massacre of the Yellow Turban Army in history, and couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask the general, what are your plans next?" ”

"Zhang Jiao's main force is in Guangzong, and Lu Zhi has led the army forward, but in the past few months, there have been few battles, and both sides are watching and testing. Presumably, the strength of the two armies is still in between, and if an elite rushes to support at this time, it will definitely win. So, I'm going to lead the army. Huangfu Song said.

Zhu Jun also said: "As for me, I must go to Runan to continue to exterminate Zhang Mancheng, Peng Tuo and other Yellow Turban thieves, I heard that Zhang Mancheng is known as a divine envoy, has gathered seventy or eighty thousand people, the thieves are increasing day by day, if not exterminated as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will endanger the Beijing Division!" ”

As Zhu Jun's other Sima, Li Li of course followed Zhu Jun.

But that's not what he's thinking right now.

Li Li hesitated for a moment and continued to ask: "Two generals, I don't know what you are going to do with the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops we just captured?" ”

Huangfu Song didn't think about it, so he said: "This still needs to be asked, of course, it is to kill everything, and not a single pawn will be left!" ”

"Uh-huh!"

Zhu Jun also nodded.

Cao Cao sat indifferently on the side, not saying a word, obviously not surprised.

However, Li Li was a little difficult to accept, tens of thousands of lives were easily wiped out like this? Although when he was in Lousang Village, what the Yellow Turban Army did should indeed be killed, and he also thought about killing the thief to take revenge, but now the captured Yellow Turban Army is not three or two, but tens of thousands of people, before they became the Yellow Turban Army, they were all living people, if the court can give them a way to live, who is willing to risk the world's disapproval to rebel?

Li Li took a deep breath, got up and saluted: "Two generals, the last general has a reluctant request!" ”

"You don't want to intercede on behalf of the captives, do you? We don't have so much food to feed tens of thousands of prisoners of war, and besides, the army is about to be pulled out, how can we have extra troops to take care of them, only by killing them all, can we do it once and for all! ”

Huangfu Song penetrated Li Li's mind and made an explanation.

The attitude of the imperial court towards the captives has never been clearly stated.

In the past, when there were not many rebels, they could also allocate food and control the prisoners.

Now there are rebellious armies everywhere, and the imperial court is urgently recruiting soldiers to fight against the Yellow Turban Army, and the food required is huge, how can there be extra food for the prisoners to eat?

Li Li was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

Zhu Jun frowned and said, "You kid, do you really want to intercede for those captives?" If you dispel this idea as soon as possible, the court will not allocate food to feed these captives! ”

"The last will wake up, but ...... Can you let the Admiral pick some captives to be his subordinates? I'm also a Sima of another department, and I don't have a single soldier under my command, so it's a little unreasonable. I promise to restrain them harshly and not cause chaos! ”

So far, Li Li has no better way, he can only save as much as he wants, and count as much as he wants.

"Okay, I'll agree to ...... this." Zhu Jun responded.

"Wait!"

Huangfu Song looked unhappy. Originally, he also had high hopes for Li Li, thinking that he would make contributions in the future and focus on promotion, but Li Li's performance just now made him extremely disappointed. As a general on the battlefield, she is as indecisive as a woman, what can she do.

If you are reluctant to take tens of thousands of prisoners, you will be able to drag down the entire army of the imperial court, let alone completely exterminate the thief armies everywhere.

Compared with the two, which is more important, do you still need to think about it?

I don't even understand this truth, what kind of tactics are you talking about?

Huangfu Song said word by word: "I could have promised you to let you choose three or five thousand people among those captives to be your subordinates, but you must personally lead your subordinates and kill all the captives!" I will personally lead 10,000 iron cavalry to suppress the formation, and if you can't do it, Ben will order to rush and kill, and kill your subordinates, along with all the prisoners, not a single one is left! ”

Hiss!

Everyone present gasped.

Huangfu Song's move is too ruthless.

Killing people is not too much, the Yellow Turban Army has become a captive, let them betray their organization, join the official army, have been scolded by the Yellow Turban Army all over the world, and now they have to kill their former brothers with their own hands and submit a petition to the official army, how cruel is this?

Zhu Jun twisted his head to the side, not daring to look at Li Li.

Li Li struggled in his heart for a long time, but he still agreed: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

The next day, at noon.

Li Li and Cao Cao came to the prisoner camp.

The sanitation here is very poor, and you can smell a foul smell from afar.

From the time they were captured to the present, they have not eaten a drop of water, nor have they eaten, and many of them have died in the camp because they could not bear it.

Cao Cao put his hands behind his back and said in a flat tone: "Wen Jun is really a benevolent and righteous king, have mercy on these captives. It's just that Wen Jun has ever thought about it, aren't my Han people worthy of pity? How many were they burned and looted by the Yellow Turbans? Even if these captives died 10,000 times, it would not be enough to apologize! ”

"I've really seen the scene of the Yellow Turban Army burning, killing and looting, but it's not as spectacular as it is now!" Li Li remembered the tragedy in Lousang Village again.

Cao Cao looked sideways and said: "Yes, what you see is just a few Yellow Turban Army bullying the people, but have you ever thought about how many Yellow Turban Army there are in the whole world?" And how many people suffered? I'm afraid that the old people and children they killed are more than tens of thousands a day, do you still think they died unjustly? ”

"It's ......."

Li Li was stunned for a moment.

His hatred has always been confined to Lousang Village, and he has never thought about the whole world.

The Yellow Turban Army is known as millions, if they are all burned, killed and looted at will, how many tens of thousands of people die every day?

Poor people will have something to hate.

Although the Yellow Turban Army is responsible for the evil consequences of today, they are also to blame.

In order to free up the army and exterminate the Yellow Turban Army in various places as soon as possible, it is also a matter of course to kill tens of thousands of prisoners at the moment.

Li Li patted Cao Cao's shoulder and said with an abrupt smile: "Thank you Meng De for reminding us, let's choose the soldiers now!" ”

In order to select the real elite, Li Li set four conditions, and only when these four conditions are met can he be selected. One, 20 to 30 years old. Second, the height is more than 1.8 meters, and the weight is not less than 200 pounds. 3. Be proficient in the use of swords and bows and arrows. Fourth, he has killed people.

After some selection, people came out of the prisoner camp one after another and gathered outside.

Li Li sent people to count, a total of 4,532 people, who met the above conditions.

"Arrange a place for them to live, send some food, and I'll go to lecture later." Li Li instructed the soldiers beside him.

"No."

The agreement with Huangfu Song was made tomorrow evening, and the time was getting more and more urgent, Li Li arranged for people to register those prisoners and stabilize their moods, and on the other hand, he rushed to Zhu Jun's Chinese army and asked for weapons and armor.

"We can't give them weapons just yet, we have to wait until they defeat the captives...... Zhu Jun refused.

"What? This...... How can you kill an enemy without a weapon? Tens of thousands of captives, each person with a mouthful of spit, can drown them. I don't care, I finally picked out a few thousand elites, and the general has to give it, and if he doesn't give it, he has to give it, otherwise I won't leave! ”

Li Li simply played the scoundrel, what a problem, he didn't give money and food, he didn't even give weapons, and let them have more than 4,000 people and tens of thousands of prisoners in hand-to-hand combat? Even if you win, you'll end up crippled. It's not about saving people, it's about torturing and insulting people.

There is no such excessive imperial army, Li Li can be regarded as having seen it.
