The birth of Liu Family Army was decided, and he and Liu Kou were incompatible.

Therefore, many bandits believed that if they fell into the hands of the Liu family army, they would basically be dead.

Especially when a large number of their generals and military heads were pulled out and beheaded one by one, this made them even more frightened.

Zhang Xianzhong brought more than 30,000 soldiers this time, of which more than 3,000 were his elite soldiers in the old camp, and the others were ordinary soldiers, and most of these soldiers fled.

During this war, the Liu family army killed at least 1,500 elite soldiers and captured more than 1,000 alive. As for those ordinary soldiers, they were not interested in calculating, because these soldiers were similar to those of burdens and auxiliary soldiers for both bandits and for them. Liu Bu looked at the report roughly and said that they should have captured nearly 10,000 people, and this victory was very brilliant.

However, dealing with these prisoners of war after the war also became a long-lasting problem.

The local people have been suffering from the bandits for a long time, and they hate the bandits to the core. They have advocated that all these bandits beheaded to quell the public's anger, or it can be said that they are angry with the officials.

The gentry and powerful people from these places found Wang Zhiwen, the prefect of Anqing, and asked him to uphold justice and kill all these prisoners of war.

Wang Zhiwen is now on the surface, and he is temporarily appointed by the governor of Fengyang. This position is appointed by him, and he has no soldiers. He mainly relies on the power of the Liu family. Without the power and military support of the Liu family, he is nothing, so he was forced to come to Liu Bu for discussion.

He was very upset when he heard that he wanted to kill so many people, because since ancient times, there has been a saying that killing prisoners is ominous.

Bai Qi, a famous general in the Warring States Period, was an awesome person, and his nickname was called the God of Killing. Every time he fought, he would definitely kill all the surrendered people, so he won his nickname as the God of Killing Changping, but his final outcome was also very bad.

Since Liu Bu joined the army, he also had the honor and pride of his soldiers, that is, he would do everything possible to defeat the enemy, whether it was conspiracy or open policies, he would use it, but if he was asked to massacre unarmed prisoners of war, he would really not be able to do it.

Because killing enemies on the battlefield is to make meritorious contributions, if prisoners of war are massacred after the war, it is injustice. As a soldier, if he does this, he will be a butcher, not a qualified soldier. If a soldier loses his sense of honor, he will be no different from ordinary bandits, so he firmly refused to massacre prisoners of war.

Wang Zhiwen also knew Liu Bu's concerns, and he said with a ill-hearted attitude: "General Liu, you have great ambitions and refuse to kill prisoners. This official can understand, but if you don't kill some and go to work for the office, the officials and gentry here will not be satisfied, and the court will not be satisfied."

Liu Bu said: "Didn't we handed over dozens of officers out?"

Liu Bu also knew that it was not easy to subdue these senior officers, and most of them were rebellious people. They followed Zhang Xianzhong for many years, killed many government troops, and killed many people. These people had no value for cultivation or storage for Liu Bu, so he sent people to make a decision. If the people who massacred the people, they would be pushed out and cut them one by one. This was also a way of explanation. After all, as the official army of the court, he represented the interests of the court. It would be unreasonable to catch these people without cutting off a group of heads.

But if he was asked to kill prisoners on a large scale, he would not be able to do such a thing. He did not let them be idle either. He drove all these prisoners to build bridges and slopes, repair various ruins and clean up garbage in the city. Now these people are working.

These prisoners were just given a half full meal while working. This was a way for them to manage prisoners. That is, if these people were given a half full meal, they would only have the strength to work and not have the strength to think about other things.

However, he still wanted to make up his mind for the old camps of Zhang Xianzhong's elite. If he could integrate these troops into the Liu family's army, their strength would be quickly replenished, so he did these things quietly in secret.

Liu Bu was about to let go of some prisoners who were not very angry and did not commit any crimes. As a result, he had this idea. Wang Zhiwen asked him to kill all these prisoners to avoid wasting food and making a deal with the court. He was unhappy.

In fact, Liu Bu has the title of a guerrilla general, and he has no level to deal with these matters. If it were other officials and generals, he would not ask for his opinions. However, he defeated Zhang Xianzhong's army, and he captured these prisoners, and he only has military power in Fengyang City, so everyone should look at his face and behave like a human being.

Wang Zhiwen said, "General, you should know that after this battle, you will be famous all over the world. Even the emperor will look at you differently. As long as you do something to ask for credit and reward from the emperor, you will naturally receive the reward and honor you deserve. If the general is ruthless to these prisoners, you may even be ill-hearted and ill-hearted. "

Liu Bu said: "If you have any bad things to say, I will stand tall and fear that others will say bad things. One more thing is that God has the virtue of living. If a large-scale massacre of prisoners of war, who will surrender to us in the future."

Wang Zhiwen said, "But the local gentry is very dissatisfied with this. They have made these bandits suffer. If they don't hand over some, it will not convince the world."

Liu Bu said: "In this way, let them come to the prisoner-of-war camp to identify. As long as there are robberies, murders, and people, they will be taken out and cut them out. If there is no real evidence or evidence, there is no need to massacre innocent people."

Wang Zhiwen knew that this should be Liu Bu’s final concession, so he had to say: “I will go back and discuss with the gentry. I believe they are still satisfied with this plan.”

Liu Bu was thinking about elite soldiers in prison camps, and others were thinking about elite soldiers. So when he saw that the wind was wrong, he immediately ordered the release of a group of people. The group of people he ordered were all favored by him, tall and strong soldiers. After these people were released, they immediately recruited as soldiers from their Liu family army.

As for the ordinary soldiers in the prisoner-of-war camp, Wang Zhiwen and others had to take a group out to behead him and ask for credit from him, so they could only let them do this. After all, they still had to explain some explanations to these people. If there was no explanation, everyone's expression would not be good-looking, and so much of his previous efforts to save face would be wasted.

Liu Bu's approach was to receive the full support of Liu Zhongyong. As a qualified soldier, Liu Zhongyong was also disdainful of massacre prisoners of war. When he saw these good soldiers, he inevitably developed a love for talent.

Liu Zhongyong was also a soldier from the bottom class. He also knew that these ordinary soldiers were not enemies of the class, and they did not have any ideals to join the army, just to have enough food. This is the case when they were in the army. Whoever gave them food would work for them. So after they hungered these soldiers for a few days, they went to them to recruit soldiers and horses. As a result, these people basically swear without hesitation that they were willing to join the Liu family army and join the Liu family army's barracks.

Several generals of the Liu family army were all generals with the ability to lead the army. When they saw these soldiers in the army, they inevitably became loving talents and everyone wanted to supplement their troops.

They did recruit a lot of bandits into their army, but they would definitely not form these people into a battalion independently, but would disperse them into the various battalions of the Liu family army.

This will divert the flow and prevent them from hudding together to form mountain doctrine.

After these soldiers were hungry for a few days, they brought them into the canteen of the Liu family army. They basically had nothing to hesitate and immediately swore to join the Liu family army.

The Liu family army is different from other armies. When they want to join the Liu family army, they must swear after passing the conditions. This is to make a swearing in the name of his parents in heaven and earth.

At this time, people were generally superstitious and did not dare to disobey the oaths made in the name of their parents and heaven and earth, and they were still very binding.

Let’s not talk about the issue of binding force. Just these people saw the Liu Family Army’s canteen, and their eyes were straightened. This was not the military canteen. It was simply richer than the banquets of the landlord’s old treasure house.

Even Zhang Xianzhong's elite camp did not eat this way. Each person gave him a serving of the meal. Even after eating, it was not like the Liu Family Army's canteen. The best white flour buns and the best rice were piled here for you to eat, until you had enough. Only officers would have this treatment in other troops.

But ordinary soldiers here in the Liu family army also enjoy such amazing treatment. Seeing this way of eating, every soldier sighed that even if he was a soldier of the Liu family army for a day, it would be worth it.

The Liu Family Army’s canteen is still very well-made. In the words of many soldiers, it is to celebrate the New Year here every day.

This is also the reason why they attract many talents. In this chaotic world, only Liu's army has such a good canteen, such good food, and such good food.

When food was widely used to serve in the army, with such good food, there was no other welfare, and many people were competing to join the army.
