Chapter 913 Yan Wen is ruthless and will never die in peace
Liebeifeng is dead!
Qin Yunsheng died long ago!
Jin Zhan is also dead!
The remaining Zhou Chong is the one with the highest military rank among these thousands of people!
His active surrender finally became the straw that broke the camel's back. All the soldiers put down their weapons one after another!
Their troops, and even most of their generals, were originally born as Shanyang Daofu soldiers. They neither had the fighting will nor the loyalty of the Zhenbei Army.
In this situation, there is nothing wrong with making such a choice.
However, the surrender of so many troops caused Zhang Liao and others to encounter difficulties at this time.
"Hey, although General Xue Rengui will be arriving in a few days, the soldiers and horses who are looking at Lie Fei are about to come over to kill him!"
"Although our army only needs to hold on for two more days, with the current situation of the soldiers, this camp is far inferior to the Bank of China camp!"
"How can I take care of so many prisoners now?"
After returning to the camp, Zhang Liao finally expressed his worries.
Seven thousand prisoners, this number is much more than their current soldiers and horses!
Before, they dared to absorb a group of prisoners of the Zhenbei Army to help them fight. That was because the Zhenbei Army had been forced to work as coolies to build camps before helping them fight. Therefore, they were deceived.
.
However, the same method cannot be used on these people again!
And if these prisoners are left behind, how much manpower will be spent just to look after them?
But at such a critical time, such a large part of the combat power is missing. How to fight the next battle?
Not to mention, with such a large number of prisoners, if someone deliberately provokes them to cause even a little trouble in the past two days, it will probably be a devastating disaster for them.
"General Wenyuan, there is no need to hesitate, just kill them all!" Yan Liang said with murderous intent.
He doesn't think as much as others!
Since these people have become a hidden danger, just get rid of them all.
"Inappropriate! Since ancient times, it is unlucky to kill prisoners!" Zhao Yun said somewhat unbearably.
The vast majority of people who are crawling and rolling on the battlefield are naturally not merciful people, and they will not show any mercy when they should be cruel.
However, even so, Zhao Yun is not that kind of cruel person in nature.
It was inconsistent with his beliefs to just sit back and watch these seven thousand people who had laid down their weapons without blushing or beating their hearts.
Moreover, no matter what situation we are in, killing prisoners is always a last resort method that is used only when there is no other way.
The so-called "killing prisoners is ominous" has nothing more than two effects:
First, your opponent thinks you have "bad rules" and uses the same brutal method to retaliate against you;
Second, your opponent thinks there is no benefit in surrendering and will fight you to the death in the future.
Moreover, massacre of prisoners on a large scale will not only affect the morale of the army, but also corrupt the morale of the army. A king must have a grudge against such a general.
Since ancient times, those who kill those who surrender will usually end badly.
In the Battle of Changping, Qin general Bai Qi killed 400,000 prisoners of Zhao in a trap. Bai Qi finally broke his promise and was killed by the King of Qin.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu killed tens of thousands of Qin soldiers in Xin'an. He not only killed prisoners, but also massacred the city without limit. The world he had gained was lost. Gaixia was defeated and committed suicide. He was only 30 years old when he died.
5 will be quartered.
Li Guang of the Western Han Dynasty used deception to kill all the eight hundred Qiang people who had surrendered in one day. After a hundred battles, he could not get a title, and died at the hands of the swordsman. His grandson Li Ling rebelled and his clan was wiped out.
Tuoba Gui in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Chang Yuchun in the Ming Dynasty, Hu Zongxian in the Ming Dynasty... those who were good at killing those who surrendered, most of them ended up badly, and some even brought disaster to their descendants.
Later generations may not believe this, but the problem is that this is an ancient background.
"Then these seven thousand people can't really be left alone in the camp!" Chu Qingtian originally thought that the killing of prisoners was unknown. However, in their current predicament, he was more inclined to Yan Liang and the others.
idea.
"Zilong, if you are worried, just leave this matter to our brothers!"
"Even if there is any disaster in the future, we two brothers can bear it alone!" Wen Chou, like Yan Liang, did not have so many worries.
Moreover, these two people are even more cruel in character.
In order to achieve the final goal, let alone 7,000 people, even if there is another zero, they would not dare to take action!
However, even though Yan Liang and Wen Chou said this, Zhao Yun still felt it was inappropriate.
This is more than 7,000 human lives, and this decision should not be taken lightly. And human life should always be a heavy thing.
However, among the most important generals, only one, Zhao Yun, was inclined to be conservative, and the remaining few were inclined to kill.
It's just that Zhang Liao and Chu Qingtian expressed it more obscurely, while Yan Liang and Wen Chou expressed it very simply.
And Yan Liang and Wen Chou were willing to take over the dirty work, and Zhang Liao was even more happy.
After making the final decision, Yan Liang and Wen Chou immediately led the troops to seize the armor of all the surrendering troops and took them under unified custody.
Zhou Chong, the only general left who could serve as the backbone, was detained alone again, and then he was dealt with alone.
Although the soldiers were panic-stricken, they could only obey and be escorted to a valley in Zhonghang Mountain.
As soon as these soldiers entered the mountain, countless boulders directly covered the exit above the valley, trapping all these soldiers in the valley.
After that, countless pieces of wet grass and wood mixed with kerosene and horse manure were pushed down, and countless thick smoke spread throughout the valley almost instantly.
Whether it is kerosene or arrows, they have almost consumed them. Therefore, it is not easy to give the other party some pleasure at this time.
With no other choice, Yan Liang and Wen Chou prepared to choke all the prisoners to death with thick smoke.
In the valley, the surrendered soldiers who had already realized the situation they were going to face next started cursing crazily.
"Zhang Wenyuan, you fucking don't keep your word. I'm blind and misjudged you. Even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go..."
Every soldier cursed crazily in panic, but when they were cursing happily, a puff of thick smoke choked them directly, almost knocking them out.
The screams kept coming, one after another.
The thick gray smoke lasted for a day and a night. At the beginning, sounds could still be heard, but after an hour, there was no sound at all in the valley.
Not to mention, a day and a night have passed now!
