Chapter 25: The Forsaken One (Part II)

"King, the battlefield has been cleared!"

At night, after washing, Liu Chen changed into a thin green shirt, the weather in the south was warm, but it was not as cold as the late autumn. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Smiling at the soldiers of the Tianji Pavilion who came to report to the report, Liu Chen nodded, and then asked: "Pay attention to the places that should be paid attention to, right?

"Back to the king, the rebels in Cannes City left hundreds of broken projectiles in the urn city, from those fragments, the masters of the Shenji Battalion did not find any vitality fluctuations, and several masters stationed around the Organ Maze also sent back a message, saying that the Organ Maze had successfully intercepted the information for help from the rebels!"

"Got it, you go down first!"

"Hmm......" The pro-soldier hesitated for a moment, and in the face of Liu Chen's doubts, he had no choice but to open his mouth again: "King, the prince of the world asked His Majesty to ask, what should I do with those prisoners of the Kangcheng Army......

"......" This stumped Liu Chen, and for a long time, he frowned, and his heart wavered.

Before dinner, Uncle Ban Ziming had mentioned to Liu Chen that more than 20,000 Kangcheng troops had surrendered in this battle, and now, they were being locked up in the barracks outside the city by Liu Gu and others......

"Go and call the General Staff to come over!" Liu Chen really couldn't think of a perfect idea, so he had to ask the soldiers to summon Uncle Ban Ziming, hoping that Zhuangyuan Gong could give a solution that everyone was satisfied with.

"Wow!" bowed and retreated, and the Tianji Pavilion soldiers quickly disappeared in front of Liu Chen's eyes.

......

It didn't take long for Uncle Ban Ziming, who was dressed in a Confucian robe, to walk into the flower hall where Liu Chen was with a smile on his face, and he poured a cup of tea without seeing it.

"Why are you laughing at such a chicken thief?" Rolling his eyes, Liu Chen sat down beside Uncle Ban Ziming by himself, and sighed lightly with a heavy heart: "How is Liu Shouye?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu has taken the medicine and has already rested!" Ignoring Liu Chen's jokes, Uncle Ban Ziming was still full of spring breeze.

"Hmm...... It's really cruel for him to have this kind of thing happening...... There is no way!" Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Liu Chen really didn't want to dwell on this matter, and after a little brewing in his heart, he asked slowly: "When you came, the guards should have told you what was going on, what do you think of the more than 20,000 prisoners of war?"

"Is the king going to die or to live?" Uncle Ban Ziming smiled, found a relatively comfortable position to sit down, and immediately lowered his voice, approached Liu Chen and said: "More than 20,000 people, this is not a small number......

"Hehe!" Glancing at the meaningful smile on Uncle Ban's face, Liu Chen sneered and said lightly: "Kangcheng is not comparable to Wancheng, everyone there is a diehard loyalist of Zhang Chen's old horseman, let's just say 20,000 people...... Although they surrendered and admitted their mistakes, in their hearts, they had no other thoughts......"

"That's right, so throwing them outside the city like this undoubtedly leaves a trace of hidden danger for our army......" Uncle Ban Ziming drank tea while responding to Liu Chen's words, from beginning to end, he didn't clearly express his attitude, nor did he want to deliberately hold it, throughout the ages, about the disposal of prisoners of war, it has always been the commander's words...... If Uncle Ban Ziming talks too much today, in the future, I'm afraid it will become a loss of too many words......

"Ziming, ah......" Regarding Uncle Ban Ziming's Tai Chi action, Liu Chen couldn't help but straighten his face, and raised his voice very unhappily and said: "You and I are brothers in life and death, why hide it here, if you have any opinions, you can say it, the book is slippery, there is no need to use it here......"

"Alas......" The smile froze, Uncle Ban almost choked half to death by Liu Chen's words, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and raised his head, put the tea in his hand heavily, and said proudly: "Since the king has said this, Ziming doesn't hide it, and if he has something to say, he will say it directly......"

"You say!" Liu Chen bowed his head, and the corners of his mouth curled up to reveal a hint of your acquaintance.

For these prisoners of war, the king must have a plan in his heart, and such a plan made the king feel very inappropriate...... After thinking about it, this hesitation has arisen now!"

"Hmm...... Go on!"

"20,000 people, or a thief army that will bite him back at any time, the king is afraid that he wants to execute them all...... Of course, this is also the best way to deal with it, even if the four gods are here, they will think like this, ...... do this" moistened his throat, and Uncle Ban Ziming said again: "It's just that at this time, Wancheng has just been decided, and the people's hearts have just calmed down, if the prisoners of war are executed, the king is worried that the situation that has just been managed here will be wasted......"

"Yes!" Liu Chen smiled and stretched out his hand to hold Uncle Ban's forearm, "That's why I came to you to discuss...... Tell me, have you thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, not only to affect the current stability of Wancheng, but also to deal with all those prisoners of war?"

"The king didn't think about not killing them?" Uncle Ban Ziming asked rhetorically, no emotion on his face.

"First of all, before the next logistics supply is in place, we have no extra food to feed this group of prisoners of war, you know, although Wancheng is recovered, but all the people's livelihood and economy have fallen into paralysis, there is still half a year before the spring ploughing, during this period, everyone's life is not easy......"

ā€œ......ā€

"Moreover!" Liu Chen gestured with his second finger at Uncle Ban Ziming, "The next battle will be protracted, and I don't know how many prisoners of war will come to our barracks, whether it is Zhang Chen's die-hard faction or a forced person like Liu Shouye, we must have a distinction in advance, those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die......!

"That being the case......" After thinking for a moment, Zhuangyuan Gong smiled and said: "Ziming has a way, not only can the soldiers and civilians of Wancheng not betray the king from now on, but also easily solve all the 20,000 prisoners of war!"

"Zi Ming, come quickly!" Liu Chen's eyes lit up, and he stared at Uncle Ban Ziming with a slightly urgent expression.

"Successfully won Kangcheng, which shows that Liu Shouye not only has such ability, but also really did not deceive us, so that the recovery of Guicheng within a month can be regarded as a safe thing...... Otherwise, the king will send charcoal in the snow, sell him a good one, and release the more than 3,000 Wancheng prisoners of war!"

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Chen raised his eyebrows, his heart becoming clearer.

"Liu Shouye said before that in order to completely control the defenders of Wancheng, Zhang Chen deliberately brought their relatives and friends to Ruicheng as hostages...... Sooner or later, the news of the destruction of Wancheng will reach Ruicheng, and at that time, all the relatives and friends of these city defense troops will not be able to escape a dead word......"

ā€œ......ā€

"After the king released the 3,000 Wancheng troops, the first thing he did was to explain the benefits and disadvantages to them, and let them go to the prisoner of war camp to execute the Kangcheng surrender army as a surrender to the army...... When the Wancheng army killed the Kangcheng army, from then on, Wancheng had to follow the king all the way to the end...... Again, the different treatment of the Kangcheng Army and the Wancheng Army can also allow the entire Youzhou to distinguish the way of the Canglan King!"

"Hiss......" Liu Chen gasped, and then a satisfied smile bloomed on his face, "Who said that useless is a scholar......? )
