It was the first time he had faced a war between two different peoples so intuitively and clearly.

There is no so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality, and there is no such affectionate vein, and there is only a life-and-death struggle for survival.

Moreover, under the existing productive forces, this contradiction is almost irreconcilable, so since ancient times, the war between the Central Plains and Mobei has almost never been severed.

And every time it's brutal.

When they were strong, they slaughtered the village and broke the city, drank the Yangtze River, and the Central Plains was full of mourning, and even people were no longer people, but two-legged sheep.

The Huns wanted their people to live and their children and tribesmen to live better, so they mounted their horses, brandished their scimitars, and rushed to the unarmed innocent people in the Central Plains, who were just as bitter as they were.

Snatch the last ration they need to survive.

If possible, they would even prefer to go south and rob them of everything, including land, wealth, women, and even their lives, to fight for more fertile land and more comfortable living space for their people!

Zhao Ying has no desire to reason with anyone, living in this era, he just wants to fulfill the obligations that the eldest grandson of the Great Qin Emperor should have.

"Then treat others the way they do......"

Zhao Ying waved his hand, and his voice couldn't hear joy or anger.

If it were possible, of course he would not be willing to follow the example of these people and wave the butcher's knife in his hand, but he could not put these brothers who followed him in danger for the sake of them and his own women.

Since you can't keep it, then kill it!

Zhao Ying's words made everyone's hearts sink. Only Zhang Liang glanced at it with complicated eyes, this sharp-eyed, god-like emperor eldest grandson, his eyes struggled for a moment, but in the end he quietly retracted his half-step.

Zhao Gao, who had been taken by Zhao Ying's side, moved his eyelids slightly, and then buried his head deeply.

……

Unlike Li Xin and even Fusu Wang Ben and others, when he first got the news that Zhao Ying had broken the Pu Department, Chen Ping, who was in the back with auxiliary troops to suppress the formation, was still in a good mood.

But when I heard that Zhao Ying and others, overnight, the lightning attacked, and then broke the end and the two parts of Khotan, the whole person's face changed instantly!

"Not good!"

Without saying a word, he directly threw all the auxiliaries to Meng Ce, without saying a word, waved his horsewhip, rushed out of the team, and went all the way in the direction of Khotan.

What's going on?

The emperor's eldest grandson is victorious, you don't have to be so excited.

Li Xin, Wang Li and others, who had just arrived in Yanpu, threw off the auxiliaries, and were marching towards the end of the hurried, and when they looked back, Chen Ping chased after him as if he had been burned by fire, and everyone was a little confused.

I don't know what kind of madness Chen Ping is going to -

But Chen Ping didn't mean to explain at all.

Like a whirlwind, it passed by them in an instant, throwing down a cloud of smoke and dust.

"Something isn't right—"

Looking at Chen Ping's back as he rushed away, Li Xin's expression was a little serious. Chen Ping is not only outstanding, he is the henchman of His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson, but also almost the first mastermind in front of His Royal Highness.

He is loyal to His Royal Highness and is deeply valued by His Highness.

His face was so serious, I'm afraid things are not simple.

"Quick, full speed ahead!"

Although they didn't know why Chen Ping was so nervous, Li Xin and Wang Li still realized that something was wrong with the situation, and immediately ordered that more than 10,000 troops would instantly turn on the hurricane mode.

But an army is an army, and the speed of walking can't catch up with the speed of Chen Ping's one person and two horses.

I could only watch Chen Ping gradually disappear from his field of vision.

Li Xin and Wang Li couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw the uneasiness in each other's eyes. Chen Ping has always been resourceful and steady, and there is something wrong with his actions today.

But the only thing you can do is try to catch up!

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

"Drive, drive, drive—"

The cold wind blew on his face, blowing so that he couldn't open his eyes, and he lay down on the horse's back, galloping wildly, eager to connect a few more legs with the war horse under him.

There was only one thought in my mind.

Faster, faster, faster!

Graceful.

And the end.

Dang Khotan!

The three tribes, all located under the Wusheling Ridge and the Lenglong Ridge, are almost on the same straight line, Chen Ping walked all the way, only to see that everywhere he went, the wolf flag of the Xiongnu had long disappeared, and was replaced by the majestic black dragon flag of the Great Qin Empire.

The black Xuanyao waved in the wind, and the soldiers of the Xuanjia stood solemnly.

Overnight, the land changed owners.

But in Chen Ping's eyes, he had long lost the excitement he had when he first got the news, his lips were pursed, and his eyes were full of indescribable anxiety.

"Drive-"

subconsciously urged the war horse under his crotch again.

Finally, at dusk, Kankan arrived in Khotan!

When he arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, he had just slid off the horse, his body shook, and before he could stand firmly, he heard Zhang Han's instructions inside, as well as Zhao Ying's cold and calm voice.

"Then treat others the way they do......"

Suddenly my heart was relieved.

Luckily, it's in time!

"Lord, never!"

Before Chen Pingren went in, he shouted outside.

Zhao Ying couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at the door of the big tent with some surprise.

Chen Ping!

How did he get here-

"Lord, don't—"

Chen Ping staggered to Zhao Ying, gave a deep salute, and then raised his head and looked at Zhao Ying in front of him with a serious face.

Zhao Ying looked at Chen Ping, who looked tired and even a little shaky when he walked, and walked in front of him, trying to persuade himself, his face couldn't help but be slightly moved.

It can be seen that Chen Ping must be in a hurry along the way.

"Don't worry, you've worked hard all the way, what's the matter, sit down and talk first-"

Waiting for Chen Ping to sit down and pour a large cup of tea, Zhao Ying asked with a smile.

"Isn't you in the back? Why did you come here all of a sudden, it couldn't have been specifically to stop me......"

"Yes, I came here for purpose—"

Chen Ping arched his hand, his face a little serious.

"When the minister heard that the lord had broken the three kingdoms of Khotan overnight, he knew that something was wrong. Now that we have penetrated deep into the hinterland of the enemy, we are afraid that if we leave prisoners, we will have the trouble of elbows and armpits, and if we do not stay, we will fear that the lord will have a reputation for cruelty and inhumanity - only then he left the army behind him and hurried to come to the lord to share his worries - fortunately, he caught up with the ......"

Speaking of this, Chen Ping couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face.

When Zhao Ying heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"What a good way do you-"

If there was a way, he would not be willing to kill women and children, the old and the weak. It's not that it's ominous to kill prisoners, but because he is not only a champion general, but also the eldest grandson of Great Qin and the grandson of the first emperor.

Daqin already has a reputation for brutality, and if he kills another prisoner, it will be tantamount to adding insult to injury to Daqin's reputation.

"The minister thinks that instead of killing him, it is better to divide and absorb it and use it for my use......"

When Zhao Ying heard this, he immediately showed an interested look, and when Zhang Liang on the side heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Chen Ping, who was talking eloquently, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes, as if he had some regret, and seemed to have let go of his thoughts.

Zhao Gao couldn't help but secretly clench the fist in his sleeve, lowered his head, and couldn't see the slightest face.

"Let's elaborate—"

"The Three Kingdoms are young and strong, and they can be escorted back, filled with places, or used for labor. Most of the officers and soldiers of my Great Qin Army have not yet been married, and those who intend to start a family can let them choose any young woman to marry, and these two can be said to absorb——"

Speaking of this, Chen Ping's tone paused slightly.

"As for the rest of the people, you can choose a part of those who are dedicated to Great Qin, give them privileges, and rule them all, which can be described as a division."

Zhao Ying couldn't help but gasp, and instantly understood what Chen Ping meant.

This Chen Ping is really something!

The last so-called differentiation is clearly to use some of the privileges thrown out to draw a layer between these captives. Only one's own people know their own people best, and only their own people are the most vicious when dealing with their own people.

Whether it is the ethnic system of the Mengyuan period or the puppet military system of a certain period, this point is fully illustrated.

The lower classes were powerless to resist the enslavement of the upper classes, and the upper classes needed the approval of Great Qin.

Chen Ping's hand directly solved most of the follow-up problems.

"Good!"

Zhao Ying is in a good mood, this Chen Ping has received it, it is really worth it.

See the subtle knowledge, and the strategy is outstanding.

Just by virtue of his record of destroying the Three Kingdoms in one night, he thought that he might have problems when dealing with the captives, so he made a decision and rushed over without hesitation.

Whether it is loyalty or ability, he is very satisfied!

Thinking of this, he glanced meaningfully at Zhang Liang, who was standing silent. Chen Ping can find this problem, can Zhang Liang, an existence that is even more powerful than Chen Ping in the history of later generations?

When Zhang Liang saw Zhao Ying's gaze sweeping, his heart suddenly tightened, and he didn't dare to look at Zhao Ying's eyes at all. He knew that Zhao Ying's behavior of not rubbing sand in his eyes, and his negative response just now and not standing up to dissuade Zhao Ying's decision to kill the prisoner was probably in Zhao Ying's eyes.

At this moment, he stared at his toes a little nervously, and he didn't dare to take a breath, lest Zhao Ying suddenly find trouble for himself.

But in fact, sometimes, the more you are afraid of something, the more you come.

"Zhang Liang, what do you think of this matter-"

Zhang's conscience tightened.

"Weichen thinks that Mr. Chen's words are very good!"

Zhao Ying glanced at him with a smile.

"The three kingdoms add up, how many tens of thousands of people, how do you think, how can you safely escort them back......

Zhang Liang knew that if he dared to play tricks again, waiting for the imminent, I am afraid it would be the thunderous anger of this emperor's eldest grandson. When he thought of the days in the small dark room controlled by loneliness and despair, he couldn't help but shiver, and his mind was more active and clear than ever.

"Without weapons, it is like a wild beast that has lost its teeth and is hungry, just as a wild beast has pulled out its claws, and when it is hungry and cold, it will only think about curling up to keep warm......

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Zhao Ying, who was sitting at the top.

"So, as long as you unload their weapons, don't feed them, and don't keep them warm, they won't have the strength to resist, and they won't have the heart to run away—"

What a nice guy!

Zhao Ying's face finally showed a smile.

"Good idea, when I go back this time, I will definitely ask for credit for you personally!"

Zhang liang:......

I really fucking thank you, huh-

As soon as this kind of vicious and mean idea came out, his reputation was completely stinky. But what else can be done, this emperor's eldest grandson is obviously punishing himself and wants to let himself take the blame for that Chen Ping......

There is no time to delay in dealing with the captives.

Zhao Ying directly handed over this matter to Zhang Liang, who was thinking carefully.

This kind of old six, you have to squeeze him hard, call him, and squeeze out the greatest value in him. Otherwise, it would be a waste of talent.

It turns out that Zhang Liang's ability is really strong.

The tribal kingdoms of Yanpu, Jimo and Dang Khotan were originally composed of many small tribes, and these small tribes were not monolithic.

The big tribe drives the enslavement of the small tribe, and the small tribe is dependent on the big tribe, which is also a norm in the grassland. But now, this norm has been broken by Zhang Liang.

After he investigated and understood, he immediately selected several small tribes with relatively low status among the three tribal kingdoms and made them the privileged members of this tribe.

Resist the strong with the weak, and unify more with less.

And these small tribes will check and balance each other for their own interests.

The matter was handled cleanly and neatly, and even Chen Ping couldn't help but praise Zhao Ying. Glancing at Chen Ping, who was silent beside him, Zhao Ying smiled.

"Without the power of faithfulness, it is worthless to me—"

The corners of Chen Ping's mouth couldn't help but show a subtle smile, but he immediately disappeared from him, and said sincerely.

"This person is quite talented, if he pays attention, he will definitely be able to become a great help to the lord......"

In the evening, Li Xin and Wang Li finally caught up with the army. After the replenishment of Shangjun, Zhao Ying's main force reached 30,000, and the auxiliary troops also expanded to more than 30,000 people.

At this time, these armies finally gathered together, and the strength of Zhao Ying's troops officially reached their peak!

That night, Zhao Ying ordered the three armies to be rewarded.

Countless cattle and sheep were pulled out, slaughtered and barbecued, and an enticing aroma wafted throughout the barracks. Of course, all this has nothing to do with the Khotanese tribe, ordinary women and children can be regarded as some bland, because of Zhang Liang's dedication, those young and middle-aged prisoners did not directly touch their teeth.

Young man, what are you doing when you're so full?

A hungry captive is a good captive!

After dinner, Zhao Ying summoned all the generals in the army and held the first meeting since the beginning of the war.

This is the team that he will settle down in the future, and he will naturally not let go of any opportunity for everyone to grow and learn.

At the end of the war, he should organize everyone to analyze and study together in accordance with the practice in the recruit battalion, and sum up the lessons and lessons learned in this actual battle.

PS: The last time I asked for a monthly pass, I said that I had a good addition, but I didn't have time to cash it out. I can't be untrustworthy, I won't go out tomorrow, I will stick to my home code words, and fulfill my promises.
