Chapter 64: Human Trafficker Liu Ming
Strictly speaking, Liu Ming has no good idea! But isn’t this person afraid of being a lie? As a result, Liu Ming was forced to come up with a solution that was not a solution!
When Liu Minggang knew that Huangfu Song was going to kill the Yellow Turban prisoners, he naively thought that as long as he explained to Huangfu Song, these Yellow Turban soldiers were just deceived or imprisoned by the Yellow Turban cult, they were all pitiful people and would not die. Huangfu Song would definitely let these Yellow Turban prisoners go.
Who knows! When Liu Ming advised Huangfu Song with great sincerity, he was questioned by Huangfu Song!
Huangfu Song said, "Where did Han Guang say this? Use heavy slander in troubled times! Famous sayings from ancient times! Nowadays, the Yellow Turban thieves are in chaos, and they should be slaughtered as a warning to the world! How can they be easily let go, and think that future generations will be more effective!"
Cao Cao also agreed with Huangfu Song's words, "General Huangfu said very well! If you let these Yellow Turban rebels go, it will not only be difficult to educate the foolish people, but it will also inevitably lead to criticism from the court! Moreover, among those prisoners, there are inevitably some stubborn members of the Yellow Turban cult! Like such unruly people, we would rather kill 10,000 by mistake than by mistake!" After Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked at Liu Ming and said to himself: Unexpectedly, Liu Ming was a kind and pedantic person! He overestimated him!
Liu Ming was squeezed out by Huangfu Song and Cao Cao, but Liu Ming quickly thought about what he knew about the way to deal with the prisoners! What the Geneva Treaty, treating the prisoners well, etc. would definitely not work!
Finally! Liu Ming came up with a little detrimental solution on the premise of ensuring that these Yellow Turban prisoners survived. Of course, this method can even be said to be a bit bad!
At this moment, Liu Ming smiled but did not answer the words of Huangfu Song and Cao Cao, and gradually evolved from the initial small laughter to the big laugh! Huangfu Song and Cao Cao were a little embarrassed, and I wonder why Liu Ming laughed? Could it be that what he said just now, there was any loophole? Otherwise, how could Liu Ming laugh so much? However, after thinking about it carefully, they felt that he was not wrong. However, the two felt that Liu Ming had lived up to his reputation since they met. Several battles showed Liu Ming's talent. Liu Ming would never laugh for no reason!
Huangfu Song and Cao Cao were puzzled by this and were a little confused! Huangfu Song could not calm down first, and because he had a higher official position than Liu Ming, he pretended to be displeased: "Han Guang, where does the laughter come from? Could it be that there is something wrong with us? If so, Han Guang please tell me clearly."
Cao Cao also said, "That's the reason! Brother Han Guang has something to say clearly. Let us understand and understand."
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have never been separated from Liu Ming, and of course they are also beside Liu Ming at this time. Previously, Guan and Zhang saw Liu Ming begging for the Yellow Turban prisoner. Although Guan and Zhang did not agree with him, they had been in contact with Liu Ming for a long time. They knew Liu Ming's nature and knew that this was Liu Ming's nature! They still admired and admired Liu Ming's noble quality of benevolence. After all, people still yearn for noble and beautiful things. Although they may not necessarily do it themselves, except for perverts, no one would think that this is bad!
When Huangfu Song and Cao Cao refused Liu Mingde's request, Guan and Zhang were not very good at it. However, Huangfu Song and Cao Cao questioned Liu Mingde, which really annoyed Guan and Zhang. However, Ai Yu's official position and elder brother Liu Ming did not speak. Guan Yu stopped Zhang Fei's impulse and was just ready to collect the people in advance.
But when Liu Ming laughed, Guan and Zhang immediately relaxed.
Zhang Fei also gave Guan Yu a look, meaning: Second brother, have you heard it? The eldest brother smiled like this again this time, Huangfu Song and the others just stared at him!
Guan Yu also replied to Zhang Fei with a certain look! That's the meaning: It's all right, let's wait and see.
Guan and Zhang looked at each other and smiled and prepared to watch the show.
If you say that when Liu Ming encounters others, he often laughs more than that. He developed this habit after reading "The Deer and the Cauldron" written by Mr. Jin Yong, a modern martial arts novelist!
After reading this book, Liu Ming was greatly inspired by the description of Wei Xiaobao's mischief! He also tried what was described in the book: When encountering something difficult to defend, first laugh and mess up the other party's position, and then take advantage of the other party's self-doubt, organize the logical relationship and language, and wait for an opportunity to convince the other party.
After the experiment, this method can be said to be extremely effective! Liu Ming succeeded repeatedly! This habit was developed. Later, when he was quarreling with Yang Jun, Liu Ming succeeded repeatedly! Guan Yu and Zhang Fei listened aside for a long time and developed the habit. As long as Liu Ming smiled like this, he would be almost nowhere near Liu Ming to succeed. So he was ready to watch a vain show!
Seeing that Huangfu Song and Cao Cao were both disorganized, Liu Ming stopped laughing and said calmly: "Han Guang is not talented, and he thinks that both of them are wise and far-reaching people! Unexpectedly, I misread them."
When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes seemed to be tightened, but then he could not see anything. He seemed to be indifferent to this.
But Huangfu Song was really a little unhappy and said in a deep voice: "Why did General Liu say this?"
Liu Ming saw all this and said slowly: "Mo Zi said: The actions of ordinary people do not yield profits and righteousness. And the actions of us all are the same. Everyone who benefits others and self-interest will do it! Those who benefit others and do not benefit others will do it! Those who benefit others and do not benefit others will do it! Those who harm others and do not benefit others will probably only fools will do it! Now General Huangfu wants to massacre these captives, which is a model of harming others and not benefiting themselves! How can I not laugh?" After Liu Ming finished speaking, he was secretly proud and said to himself: After being touched by Yang Jun, the descendant of the Dharma Mo, he can now quote the scriptures.
After hearing Liu Ming's words, Cao Cao seemed to be thinking and continued to remain silent.
But Huangfu Song was really annoyed!
"Du! This official executed these Yellow Turban rebels to serve the court! It is also saving our army, and the few military rations left! How can you say that I harm others and not benefit myself!" Huangfu Song said a little embarrassedly.
Liu Ming said calmly: "General Huangfu should not be angry. Let's discuss matters, no matter people. You can listen to me and speak slowly."
"Tell me!" Huangfu Song said angrily.
Liu Ming continued: "Previously, General Huangfu said that he should use heavy sanctions in troubled times! If this is not the case, it is not enough to warn the world. But in fact, among the Yellow Turban scholars, there are many people who follow him! He warned the world that he could only kill the bandit leader! With General Huangfu's erudition, hasn't he heard of it? One husband died, one household cried, ten husbands died, and hundreds of people heard of it. These innocent Yellow Turban soldiers who were pulled over and forced to follow the thief all had parents, brothers, and sisters.
If all of you and me die, and if you are executed by you and me without the power to fight back, how many people will cry? And how many people will resent? If all the millions of Yellow Turbans are now pacified and killed, wouldn’t the whole country resent us? For this reason, we have lost the hearts of the people of the world for the court. In this way, wouldn’t we become the sinners of the court?”
Liu Ming said something that made Huangfu Song and Cao Cao take a breath and smack their tongues. Who would have thought that Liu Ming could be so decisive?
Liu Ming glanced at their expressions and was satisfied, and then said, "Killing prisoners is ominous! Since ancient times, who will have a good ending? Qin Zhibaiqi made countless achievements and killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers in the battle in Changping, resulting in the country of Zhao's recession from then on. However, it is said that the achievements are beyond the present world! However, it is hard to escape the shattering of the car! Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was invincible and unparalleled. However, after killing 200,000 surrendered soldiers, he could not escape and commit suicide on the Wujiang River!"
Huangfu Song and Cao Cao were stunned again. You must know that Liu Ming’s statements are all true. The previous experience can be learned, and Huangfu Song and Cao Cao naturally have to consider them. What’s more, although the theory of ghosts and gods is an illusory thing! But we have to be careful!
Liu Ming looked at their performance with satisfaction again, and then said, "The people! The fundamentals of the country! Now the Yellow Turban thieves are all the people of our Han Dynasty, which are ignorant, deceived, and forced. If you don't think about education, you will all kill them! It is inevitable that the fundamentals of our Han Dynasty will be shaken! Moreover, in the future, the Yellow Turban thieves will be captured, and they will not escape death; and fighting to the death will lead to a chance. The Yellow Turban thieves must work together and fight to the end! Ten thousand people are united, but the Yellow Turban thieves are more than tens of thousands! The trapped beasts are still fighting, and our army is injured and killed. You can imagine it! In this way, isn't it foolish for us to massacre these Yellow Turban captives now?"
At this point, Huangfu Song and Cao Cao were stunned by Liu Ming's words, and they were stunned. They were all left to nod and agreed. These two people never expected that Liu Ming would lead to so many truths from this little thing! According to Liu Ming's words, wouldn't he become a very evil person?
Huangfu Song and Cao Cao were puzzled by this! But Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were listening and secretly raised their fingers, thinking: Big brother, you are so tall! So tall!! It's so tall!!!
After a while of silence, Huangfu Song finally said, "Han Guang is really a stunning talent. Even such profound things can be imagined. I am ashamed of it! If Han Guang had not reminded me today, I would have almost caused a huge disaster. I really have to thank Han Guang. However, now we have little food and are unable to accommodate these Yellow Turban prisoners. What can we do if we do?"
Liu Ming had long expected Huangfu Song to have this question. So he answered with confidence: "General Huangfu, since we can't afford to raise these Yellow Turban prisoners, we can't let go, and we can't kill them! But have you ever thought about whether they can sell them?"
"Oh, what do you mean?" Huangfu Song asked in confusion.
Cao Cao also pricked his ears aside and listened with interest.
Guan and Zhang also did not understand what Liu Ming meant.
Liu Ming said lightly: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people have been living in poverty, and the tyrants in various places have been plundered, and the manpower is empty. In our Han Dynasty, the treasurys in various places have been robbed. Now the court sent us to quell the rebellion, which has consumed even more treasurys. It can be said that the treasurys in our Han Dynasty are now empty."
Huangfu Song nodded. The court treasury was empty. Do you know that, or do you suggest to the court that you should take out the money from the Tibetans and the horses in the West Garden Stable to give them to the soldiers. But what does this have to do with the current issue of captives?
Cao Cao seemed to understand something when he heard it.
Liu Ming continued: "The flags, gold drums, horses, food, and other materials captured by our army in every battle are all the victories of our army, and the general has the right to deal with them. These prisoners are also victories of our army. Life and death are still the heart of the general, and the general has the right to deal with them. Now if we sell these prisoners to local tyrants and let them buy them as slaves and servants, this way, we can enrich the local manpower and use the money sold for military use! In the future, when the Yellow Turban Remnants fight with us again
, When you learn that being captured can not only survive, but also have a way to live for food, you will not have the will to die, and our army can easily break it! Moreover, today's priests are very happy in business. When you learn that General Huangfu can open up another way of wealth for Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely not blame us, but will reward General Huangfu instead!" Here Liu Ming secretly used the blame for us, and the reward for general implies that it will harm everyone. The credit is also a hint of Huangfu Song, which can be said to be a good intention.
Huangfu Song was not a pedantic person. After careful consideration, he felt that he had a great grasp of this matter, so he praised Liu Ming and said: "Han Guang's strategy is unpredictable! They are all arguments of the world! It's so good. The Yellow Turban prisoners of our army are handled as Han Guang said!"
Cao Cao was also secretly shocked when he heard this. He said to himself: Liu Ming is a man of a liquor seller. He is so vicious! He is very strategy and very scheming! I am absolutely not as good as that! Now it seems that I did not overestimate this person before, but underestimate it. I still need to be careful in the future!
Liu Ming saw that they all agreed with his plan. He thought to himself: In this way, although these Yellow Turban soldiers can be temporarily spared from death, they will inevitably become slaves who are deeply trapped in dire straits in the future! I don’t know if this will be good or bad for these Yellow Turban soldiers?
Liu Minggang sighed a little, but because of his personality, he immediately thought a little irresponsible: What do you care about him? Let’s talk about it at that time. At worst, I will launch a slave liberation movement. Anyway, I have already carried the responsibility of revitalizing Hu Xiaohehe and leading everyone to achieve success. I don’t have to worry about too much debt, and I won’t bite if I have too many lice! Who do I really care about?
However, Liu Ming's kindness made Liu Ming worry about helping some Yellow Turban prisoners. So Liu Ming said to Huangfu Song: "General Huangfu, since I proposed this proposal first, I would like to buy 10,000 prisoners for military purposes with a thousand dollars per person to buy 10,000 prisoners."
Huangfu Song laughed loudly when he heard this, "These Yellow Turban prisoners were all obtained by Han Guang and Meng De. Where can I use the word "buy"? You two should share 10,000 prisoners and send them to their own hands!"
Cao Cao hurriedly said, "We all serve under the general's tent. Of course, the general's greatest contribution! These Yellow Turban prisoners should belong to the general!"
Several people pushed each other and finally Liu Ming and Cao Cao each gave 10,000 Yellow Turban prisoners, and Huangfu Song gave 15,000. The other prisoners had their own wealthy families like Huangfu Song and Cao Cao, and they came to contact the powerful men in Yanzhou to sell them, so they got money to pay for military use!
At this point, the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan, Dongjun and Runan were wiped out, and the siege of Sili had been lifted.
And Liu Ming had just passed a few days of chasing the Yellow Turban Remnants, and then he fell into the surprise and depression brought by two letters!
