Chapter 283: The Captive (2)
General Chen explained to Li Chengjing in detail the matter of guarding the prisoners, and all kinds of exquisiteness before and after.
Li Chengjing listened very carefully.
Although the ancient road and the soldiers are not separated, they are different after all.
Li Chengjing has never participated in the army, so it is naturally impossible to understand the exquisiteness inside.
After listening to General Chen's account, his brows furrowed.
In fact, the most fundamental problem is that the threshing soldiers are too strong, the defenders of Yizi City are too weak, and the number of prisoners and Daqing soldiers is even more disproportionate.
There is no absolute force to put a psychological shackle on the captives, and the captives will never stupidly obey the arrangement.
Just like the law of a country, without the absolute deterrence of force from the state, which criminal will obey the judgment of the law?
"What does General Chen mean?"
General Chen smiled and said embarrassedly: "What Chen means is that he has to ask the recruiters to work harder, sit in the prisoner camp, and take care of these prisoners. Then the last general hastened his horse and asked for help from the border passes, asking them to come and receive the captives. ”
Li Chengjing raised his eyebrows, looked at the prisoners below who were honestly cleaning up the corpses, and said lightly: "Don't be so troublesome, since there are so many troubles, then kill these prisoners, and save a waste of food!" ”
"What?" General Chen was stunned.
Kill prisoners?
He never thought that Li Chengjing would make such a proposal.
General Chen suddenly panicked and said: "You can't recruit officials, you can't kill prisoners since ancient times!" ”
Li Chengjing looked at General Chen.
General Chen calmed down for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Don't be angry when recruiting officials, it's not that Chen is untrustworthy, killing prisoners has always been unknown since ancient times, although Chen doesn't read much, but my generals, whoever kills prisoners without permission, almost all end well, almost all of them die unexpectedly, and they don't die well." Zhaoguan led my Yizi defenders, not only resisted the slaughter of the threshing soldiers, but also wiped them out, which is a great merit, and you must not leave a disaster for yourself because of a small loss! ”
Li Cheng nodded when he heard this.
Of course he knew about it.
He had read much more books than General Chen, and he knew that what the other party said was true.
Since ancient times, there have been many heroes and countless heroes, like a bright sun, illuminating the entire long river of history.
But since ancient times, generals, all those who killed prisoners, no matter how amazing they were, and their achievements were outstanding, most of them died in the end, and the end was miserable.
Such as human slaughter, such as overlord.
But Li Chengjing is different.
These people kill their captives, commit sins, and create karma that makes them bear boundless sins, and naturally they have to atone for their sins.
But Li Chengjing is different, he cultivates the Nine Evils and Yuan Gong, and takes the Origin Nine Evils as his own body, and he has no fear at all because of the cause and effect.
However, Li Chengjing naturally couldn't tell General Chen about this.
Moreover, the reason that made Li Chengjing make this decision was war.
Compared to other Origin Evil Qi, Soldier Evil is the most difficult and easiest to obtain.
As long as there is war, it will be able to generate a steady stream of evil qi for Li Chengjing to cultivate.
Drawing from Warrior weapons, although faster than from the battlefield, is ultimately limited, and there is no guarantee of supply.
In the long run, it is more convenient to draw the evil from the battlefield.
Li Chengjing waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, then let's stop." ”
Although he said so, Li Chengjing already had a bold idea in his heart.
General Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
After sending General Chen away, Li Chengjing asked people to send paper and pens and began to write and draw.
Finally, he waited for the ink to dry, folded the paper, handed it to a soldier, and said, "Help me hand it over to Master Jiao, and ask him to prepare it for me according to the things on it." ”
The soldier looked at Li Chengjing with reverent and hot eyes, and shouted: "Yes, Master Zhaoguan!" ”
Li Chengjing really gave up killing prisoners, of course it was impossible.
With this kind of powder keg that may explode at any time by his side, how could Li Chengjing be at ease.
His Dao Fa is powerful, but Dao Fa is not omnipotent.
If these people are allowed to start a riot and run in all directions, he will have no choice but to let them scatter and flee, and then he will inevitably lose one side.
What General Chen thinks, Li Chengjing doesn't care.
But if he wants to give the court a satisfactory answer, he can't let himself be burdened with such a cauldron.
Allowing them to surrender was not because Li Cheng was soft-hearted, but because he was forced to do so.
Although the consumption of the town soldiers' broken road palm is not large, it can be banned for a few miles, even if there are no other Dao attacks, it also makes Li Chengjing consume a lot of origin evil qi.
Second, the number of people in Yizi City is too small, if there is no way to live, in the end, it will inspire the courage of the captives to fight to the death, but the gains outweigh the losses.
The art of war is cloudy, and the poor are not chasing. It's a truth.
This night, Li Chengjing sat at the head of the city, looking down on all the captives, so that they snuggled up to each other in the cold wind to keep warm, and they did not dare to have any other thoughts.
The time was so short that there was simply no time to set up a prisoner camp.
On that night, hundreds of seriously wounded captives froze to death.
Li Chengjing was a little distressed.
At noon the next day, a convoy slowly drove to the east gate, followed by Jiao Zhuji.
Seeing this, General Chen greeted him and asked curiously, "Master Jiao, who are you?" ”
I thought that the other party was here to work for the army, but when I got closer, I found that although the carriage was a sack, it didn't look like food.
Master Jiao said with a smile: "This is what Li Zhaoguan wants, saying that it is prepared to prevent the prisoners from escaping, and the specific old man doesn't understand, if General Chen wants to know, you can ask Li Zhaoguan!" ”
When General Chen heard this, he could only laugh.
He didn't dare to go to Li Chengjing now.
After yesterday's battle, Li Chengjing had planted the seeds of awe in his heart.
So he smiled and said: "How can Chen not help with this matter, Jiao Zhuji, if there is a need for Chen, just talk about it." ”
Master Jiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need." Li Zhaoguan also said that the general's soldiers still need to take care of the prisoners, so these trivial matters will be handed over to Jiao. ”
General Chen could only nod, and he was just polite.
Now there are only more than 200 people under his command who can be used, and where is there anyone to help.
However, he was also curious about what Li Chengjing wanted to do, so he followed Master Jiao and watched.
In addition to Cheng, the people in the convoy looked curiously at the more than a thousand people, under the guard of more than 200 people, building a prisoner camp.
Only then did they really believe that the hundreds of defenders of Yizi City had really won thousands of threshing soldiers in Yan Country and captured more than 1,000 people.
Excitement, excitement, curiosity, were written all over their faces.
Under the scolding of Jiao Zhushu, they began to act.
General Chen just watched them in the prisoner camp, began to measure the land, and in some places, filled in some things, but most of them were hidden in sacks, not knowing what was inside.
In the end, he even began to draw strange lines in the camp with the smelly blood.
General Chen suddenly realized that Li Chengjing was going to use the Taoist method to assist in guarding the prisoners, so he put his mind at ease and didn't ask any more questions.
He has seen Li Chengjing's Taoism, which is incredible.
Some people died, but not completely......
