In the Battle of Guandu, Cao's army won a complete victory, beheading more than 80,000 people and forcing hundreds of thousands into the Yellow River. As for the surrendered soldiers, handymen, and civilians the number was as high as more than 500,000, all of them young and strong men from Hebei. , how to deal with so many prisoners has become a difficult problem. According to the laws of war, there are only three ways: collection, release, and trap and kill!
The best strategy is to recruit more than 500,000 men. Just like the original Yellow Turban Army, the brave men will be recruited into the army to replace the losses of soldiers and fight in all directions in the future; the rest will be resettled in places, open up wasteland for farming, pay taxes, and increase the revenue of the national treasury. Cao Cao The rapid rise of the business group relies on this kind of farmland policy! ¡¯
However, today is different from the past. The successful experience in the past may not be replicated. The war for more than half a year consumed countless amounts of food and grass, and the treasuries in various places were empty. Fortunately, Xiao Yi got a batch of food, so he reluctantly After maintaining the situation, Cao's army was still half hungry and half full. How about having enough food to feed hundreds of thousands of prisoners?
Besides, the parents, wives, and children of these prisoners all live in the Hebei area. Should they be forcibly incorporated into them? Once time goes by and they are homesick, it is inevitable that a large number of deserters will appear, and even riots will occur. Hundreds of thousands of people will rebel together, and the consequences will be disastrous. ah!
The middle strategy is to release them and let them return to Hebei to reunite with their parents, wives and children. Such a benevolent act will definitely gain a good reputation, and Cao Jun can also save food. However, Hebei is a long way away and the place is dilapidated. After hundreds of thousands of prisoners are released, , if half of the people can return to their hometown, it is a blessing from the gods!
Even if they return to their hometown, it may not be a good thing. After Yuan Shao's defeat, in order to restore his strength, there will be a large-scale recruitment, food and tax collection. These people will either re-enlist and continue to fight against Cao's army on the battlefield, or they will become bandits. Making a living by robbing homes will never end well!
For Cao Jun, releasing hundreds of thousands of prisoners is equivalent to hundreds of thousands more enemies. In the future, the northern expedition of the army will inevitably be bloody battles. I don¡¯t know how many soldiers died on the battlefield because of this?
The next best option is to trap and kill, imitating the original "Killing God" Bai Qi. After winning the battle, massacre the opponent's surrendered troops. In the Battle of Huayang, 130,000 troops of the Three Jin Dynasties were beheaded. In the Battle of Yique, 20 troops of the Han and Wei Dynasties were beheaded. Forty thousand, especially in the Battle of Changping, 400,000 Zhao soldiers were killed in one fell swoop, setting a record in the history of war. More than five hundred years have passed, and famous generals have appeared in large numbers in China: Meng Tian, ??Xiang Yu, Han Xin, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing No one has broken the record. Record!
After the war, massacring prisoners not only saves food, but also avoids future troubles. It can be said that "if you die, you will die a hundred times." However, killing prisoners in a trap will harm the peace of the world and will inevitably leave you with infamy for eternity, let alone the Five Hundreds of thousands of people would definitely be killed to death. Who among the generals of Cao's army has the courage to break Bai Qi's murder record?
Cao Jun¡¯s Camp - In the Central Military Tent, the lights flickered and the atmosphere was solemn. A group of civil and military officials were silent, thinking over and over again. Among the three methods, which one is more feasible, and who will execute it?
Anyone with any brains knows how to choose among the three strategies: the best strategy is not feasible, the middle strategy is not feasible, and the bottom strategy is not feasible. The problem is, knowing clearly that it is not feasible, but having to do it. The hundreds of thousands of prisoners captured, There must be a way to deal with it. Compared with each other, the last resort is the least harmful and the most practical choice. If you can't afford it, you can't let it go, you can only kill it!
At the thought of killing more than 500,000 people and breaking the record of 'Killing God' Bai Qi, everyone's reaction was differentCao Zhang and Cao Zhi were trembling all over, their faces turned pale. They wanted to hide behind their father, but were afraid of provoking everyone. Laughing, he had no choice but to lean next to Xiao Yi, hoping to gain a sense of security!
Zhang He and Gao Lan's bodies were tense and their faces were ashen. Among the many prisoners held in prison were their old members, good friends for many years, and even relatives. If they were all killed, what would they do? - Youxin If you plead for mercy, you are not qualified enough. If you let it go, you have a bad conscience!
A group of generals, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan, were gearing up and eager to try to gain this prestige. However, after repeated consideration, they couldn't help but feel discouraged. They were also powerful generals in the army and could kill over 1,800 people without any effort. It's okay to kill 20, 30, 30,000 people with just a little effort, and it's okay to be ruthless, but to kill more than 500,000 people, with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood, it makes your liver and gallbladder burst just thinking about it, they don't have the courage!
The old saying goes: "The killings and surrenders are unknown, and the injustices are lingering. God's way is always there, and there must be retribution." Looking at the history, all the generals who killed and surrendered never had a good end. Bai Qi gave death, Xiang Yu committed suicide, even if he is a hero Even in this world, it is difficult to resolve endless injustices. This is a cycle of cause and effect, and it is also the will of God and the people!
¡°Just imagine, he tricked and killed more than 500,000 people.; Looking at Xiao Yi himself, he clasped his fists and accepted the order. He was very happy. Since he couldn't hide, why should he retreat? Why not take the initiative and ask for some rewards!
At the same time, Xiao Yi drew a circle with his little finger, hinting to his good friend Guo Jia that there is no need to worry too much. Facing the Flaming Mountain, there will be water to pour out. There is no obstacle in the world that cannot be overcome!
"Haha! The order is passed down. From today on, Xiao Lang's words are my words. Any officers and soldiers in the army who dare to disobey and disobey will be killed without mercy!"
Cao Cao was very happy that his son-in-law was on the road like this. He took out a 'Kilin Gold Medal' from his arms and handed it over with his own hands. As long as Xiao Yi is willing to surrender, the glory, wealth, and power - all the Cao family can share! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
