Zhu Jun didn't agree in the end.

Because Huangfu Song has an explanation for him, the captives cannot be given weapons and armor until they are completely attached, otherwise there will be chaos, and no one can afford it.

Li Li had no choice but to find Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was still a reasonable person, and after Li Li's clever words, he promised to allocate 5,000 war knives from his headquarters to help. It can be regarded as a good fate with Li Li. But when killing prisoners, he will also lead the army to suppress the formation, and in case of an accident, he will not hesitate to order the arrows to be released and everyone will be shot.

Sunset.

The sky was blood-red.

It seems that even God sensed the coming of a great war.

Li Li walked into the barracks, came to the handsome platform, and beat the war drums.

The soldiers in the battalion quickly assembled.

They didn't know what they were going to face next, and they thought it was a regular build-up.

Li Li was dressed in battle armor, wearing a gentleman's sword at his waist, and his eyes swept ahead. Behind him were a hundred heavily armed soldiers, they were Zhu Jun's own soldiers, Zhu Jun was worried that the captives would cause rebellion, so he sent troops to protect Li Li's safety.

Wait until everyone is assembled.

A roster appeared in Li Li's hand, he looked through it carefully, and selected two good generals from it: "Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, come to the front!" ”

Li Li didn't expect that Guan Erye's guards with knives would be among this group of people.

Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, subordinate to the Digong general Zhang Bao, Zhang Bao was defeated and killed, they became prisoners, they can't be wrong!

Two black-faced men walked from a distance, both tall and mighty, more than 1.9 meters. Pei Yuanshao shaved his head and had two scars on his face, which looked particularly different. The ancients said that the body is skinned, and it is the parents. If you shave your hair, it's the equivalent of cutting off your head. But Pei Yuanshao actually took the initiative to kick off his hair, and he must have put life and death out of the way. Zhou Cang looks decent, with a Chinese face, giving people a very reliable feeling.

"Your Excellency......."

"From now on, the army will be divided into two parts, and each of you will lead one. Here are 5,000 knives, to be distributed later. Li Li pointed to several large carts of weapons sent by Cao Cao. They are all bright and brand-new war knives.

Cao Cao is still trustworthy, and this time Li Li owes him a favor.

"Master Xie......."

"I'm your lord, not an adult!" Li Li corrected.

"Yes, thank you!" Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao had mixed feelings in their hearts. They were born as thieves, and then they took refuge in the Yellow Turban Army, killing people like hemp, bad deeds, and unforgivable crimes, this time they became prisoners of the official army, thinking that there would be no place to die, but they didn't expect Li Li to save them and let them recognize them as the lord. This is obviously treating them as his own people, and in the future, he will follow Li Li and make meritorious contributions to the enemy, and the future is immeasurable.

Li Li didn't pay much attention to these two goods, his eyes were still scanning the soldiers in front of him, and he didn't know how to speak.

Since ancient times, the surrendered army has avoided fighting the old army, for fear of defection. But Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun didn't think about this at all, maybe they still hoped that the captives would defect, so that they would have an excuse to kill them all, so as not to waste the food of the imperial court.

Li Li worked hard to save thousands of people, and he didn't want to fall short.

Even if it's hard to say, you have to say it.

There was silence for about half an hour.

Li Li opened his mouth and said: "You used to be the Yellow Turban Army, you have killed countless ordinary people, your crimes are clear, the list is unspeakable, and the crimes are unforgivable, if it weren't for the intercession of the generals and recruiting you as subordinates, your fate would be the same as the tens of thousands of prisoners in the prisoner camp, and there would be no place to die!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao's faces changed.

Zhou Cang's voice trembled and asked, "Lord...... Lord, you mean, the court will ...... Slaughter tens of thousands of our captives? ”

Li Li nodded slightly.

Li Li's affirmation is equivalent to sentencing tens of thousands of people to death, and Zhou Cang Pei Yuanshao was struck by lightning.

"Why is God so cruel!" Zhou Cang looked up to the sky and wept. It's not so much that God is cruel, it's better to say that the officials and soldiers are cruel, but Zhou Cang didn't dare to say that.

Li Li gritted his teeth and simply said everything: "Those tens of thousands of prisoners must not only be killed, but also killed by you, so that you can become real officers and soldiers." It's called a vote! Otherwise, you will end up with the same fate as them! Zhou Cang Pei Yuanshao, you understand! ”

Brothers of yesteryear will kill each other today.

"This ...... The lord, the robe brothers, are unarmed, how can they bear to kill? "Zhou Cang Pei Yuanshao, as the small leader of the Yellow Turban Army, has a deep relationship with the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army. Let them mend their ways, cut off one of their arms, and kill their former good brothers, it is really difficult to start.

"You two come with me!"

Some things are not good to say in front of all the soldiers.

Li Li called them to the military tent on the side.

I poured two cups of hot water for them with my own hands, and said slowly: "Sometimes I wonder if the Yellow Turban Army should be killed. From the beginning of Zhang Jiao's unveiling of the rod to now, what have been done. I don't know about other places, the village of Lousang, where I live, was slaughtered, that is what I saw with my own eyes, even the children who can't walk and the old people who are about to die, they don't hesitate to cut off their heads, and the cruelty of their actions and the cruelty of their methods make people shudder. But from another point of view, the reason why the Yellow Turban Army rebelled was not entirely because of Zhang Jiao's demagogy, and the imperial court was also responsible. If there was no oppression of the people by the imperial court, no harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, how could they rebel? ”

Zhou Cang Pei Yuanshao nodded again and again when he listened.

However, Li Li's words changed: "However, whether the Yellow Turban Army should be killed or not." Whether their uprising is correct or not, at this moment, the people of the world are suffering, and these sufferings are brought about by the Yellow Turban Army. In a small Lousang village, dozens of households were slaughtered, how many villages should there be in the world, and how many people would be slaughtered? For this alone, it is not a pity that they died 10,000 times, because they stood on the opposite side of the people, and heaven did not tolerate it! ”

"You are reluctant to raise your butcher's knife today to kill those captives, and you are helping to abuse them by remembering the feelings of the past. I don't know if you have any family, if you do, then it's very likely that you are being chased and killed by the Yellow Turban Army, do you still think you can't do it? ”

Li Li's words completely subverted the worldview of the two.

They have always felt that the government should kill the people for oppression, and it is not wrong for the Yellow Turban Army to rise up.

If you become a king or lose, you will die.

Is there any other?

But it ignores the most important and fundamental people in the world, that is, the people. The people are innocent. The Yellow Turban Army has changed its flavor from the very beginning, and in order to raise grain and grass, it has constantly burned, killed and looted, nominally for the sake of the people, but in fact has become more hateful than the officers and soldiers who oppressed the people.

Li Li saw that the two of them fell into deep self-blame, and continued to strike while the iron was hot: "I see that you are so affectionate and righteous to your former brothers, and I am very happy in my heart. Because it means that you will do the same to me in the future! I don't blame you, but I can't do anything about your request, those captives must be killed, and you must also do it, this is an order given by General Huangfu Song, no general in the army can disobey, including me! ”

"My lord......." Zhou Cang wanted to say something, but the words came to his lips and choked back.

Pei Yuanshao patted his chest and said: "I, Pei Yuanshao, am not the kind of pedantic person, the lord looks up to me, I will listen to the lord, and the lord will kill whoever the lord asks me to kill!" ”

"Good!"

Zhou Cang was entangled in his heart for a long time, and he also said: "From today on, we will be a new person and be an officer and soldier who kills all the thieves in the world." The last general has figured it out, and everything is willing to obey the orders of the lord! Kill the prisoners of the Yellow Turban Army and submit their names to the imperial court! ”

"Good!"

Li Lilian said two good, patted them on the shoulder and said: "You still have a long way to go, don't be knocked down by the current difficulties, I believe in you!" From now on, the two of you will be the military marquis under my command, Zhou Cang is responsible for commanding the infantry army, and Pei Yuanshao is responsible for commanding the cavalry. Of course, there are no war horses yet, and when you complete the next tasks and become real officers and soldiers, I will ask General Zhu Jun for a group of war horses to form cavalry. ”

"No! Promise! ”

"The thousands of brothers out there are old acquaintances with you, and it may be easier for them to accept it if you go and explain the situation. Tomorrow evening, I command you to lead a great army to the captive camp and slaughter all those inside! Remember, this is Ben Sima's strict order, and there is no room for negotiation! ”

Li Li did not tell them that after they went to the prisoner camp, the army of Huangfu Song and Cao Cao would be suppressed outside the camp. Once Zhou Cang Pei Yuanshao repented, or couldn't kill the prisoners inside, then countless arrows would fly into the camp and kill them all.

This was the distrust of Huangfu Song and Cao Cao in surrendering the army, and it was also to completely solve the problem of prisoners.

But Li Li believed them.

Moreover, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, without knowing that there was an army of Huangfu Song and Cao Cao behind them, could still complete the task, so they would be absolutely loyal to him in the future, and they would not frown. Only with such two generals can they train an invincible iron army.

"Don't worry, my lord, I won't be dishonored!" Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao responded with resolute expressions.

Li Li handed over the affairs of the camp to the two of them.

After announcing their appointments, he left the camp with his guards.
