The sky was dark, Gongsun Xun returned to the military tent, and from Cao Cao, Cheng Pu, Gongsun Yue, except for Yang Kai who had taken the lead to capture the Lun clan and Yangcheng, and recruited two people, many military generals had gathered here.

...It turned out that most of the corpses were burned in one day, and the army became a little impetuous, and then they couldn't wait to discuss the matter of moving the entire army to Yangzhai.

"There is no need to stay here for too long." Cao Cao said with a yawn. "The victory or defeat of the battle will be decided in one day. Bo Cai has been crowned, Yang Zhai is also in the hands of our army, and the raids in the south of the county have been carried out by two of them.

General Lang will take it away... In my opinion, although there are some remaining corpses, they are scattered everywhere and are not enough to work for the army. They can be entrusted to local officials such as Changshe, Yangzhai, Yingyin, etc. to mobilize the local people.

Just let the civilians do it. Let’s all break up camp and go to Yangdi to rest and recuperate!”

The rest of the people also spoke one after another, but most of them agreed with Cao Cao's words.

Even Guan Yu, who had never been in line with the mainstream, bluntly said that it was because the weather was too hot, and after a big fight, the soldiers were quite tired... but that might as well be the case.

However, although Gongsun Xun, the only one who can make the decision, hates this place and wants to go to Yangzhai to rest as soon as possible, he can't help but have hesitations and worries. What he worries about is not that these locals will be lazy... After all, it is a matter of life and death.

, I think no one is slacking off... But how long does it take for these local people to gather together? And do they really have that 'scientific' awareness of prevention?

The weather was so hot that the corpse would decompose in two or three days. He, Gongsun Xun, was watching here and asked the sergeants and prisoners to cover their mouths and noses and not to remove the clothes of the corpse. I am afraid that everyone would not dare to disobey, right? But if he is not here

Woolen cloth?

At this thought, Gongsun Xun gritted his teeth and acted alone - according to his military order, the wounded and most of the baggage, the extremely tired cavalry and their horses could go to Yangzhai first, but most of the infantry and a small number of them could go to Yangzhai first.

The cavalry, as well as all able-bodied prisoners, were to remain here, continue to look for corpses, and then burn them on the spot.

Gongsun Xun's prestige in this army is getting stronger and stronger day by day. Since he officially issued the military order, although everyone was dissatisfied, no one dared to complain in public. They just agreed immediately.

And the military discussion ended here.

However, that night, there was a sudden commotion in the army.

"What's the fuss about?" Gongsun Xun was completely confused when he was woken up by Han Dang. After walking out of the military tent, he even became a little angry when facing the generals and generals who came in a hurry. "When will the rewards be less than them, but let them stay longer?"

It’s only for a day or two, why should we make noise at night? Can we be careless about something like the plague?”

"Don't worry, sir." At this moment, the short and fat Dong Zhao rushed over with his clothes on his belly, and he calmed down Gongsun Xun as soon as he spoke from a distance. "It's definitely not our own.

Sergeant, if the king raises his troops like this, and the sergeants still want to cause chaos, how can there be no chaos in the world? In my opinion, there must be rumors among the prisoners."

Not only Gongsun Xun, but everyone woke up immediately.

After leaning for a while, the guard Sima Gongsun Yue found out the whole story and came to report the incident in full armor.

It turned out that, as Dong Zhao had guessed, there were rumors among the prisoners... It was said that after the military meeting, the baggage and cavalry were packing up, and then the fully armed infantry moved to the periphery of the prisoner camp for guarding. At that time

The prisoners were at a loss and had doubts. Later, in accordance with the military order, Wang Xiu sent people to pick out the injured, old and weak among the prisoners, and prepared to set off with the cavalry and baggage tomorrow. Now, the prisoners were even more panicked.

Got it!

However, at that time, the Han army had just fully armed and moved into camp, so they did not dare to discuss it out loud. It was not until night fell that they could not help but talk to each other. After some discussion, they were extremely worried that they would be massacred tomorrow.

, but there is nowhere to escape! That’s why I panic, hold my head and cry, and even make noises and agitate!

"Don't worry, sir." After a while, as more and more people surrounded Gongsun Xun, Cheng Pu finally arrived in full gear. "I have put the camp on guard with weapons and made arrangements...

More than 20,000 unarmed prisoners cannot make waves."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief now.

"Junhou." At this time, Wei Yue behind him suddenly interjected. "With such rebellion and such troubles, why bother to move to Yangzhai for resettlement? Let me tell you, you might as well really cheat, so as not to

future trouble!"

Wei Yue and Wei Zidu were a bastard from a border area, well known in the army, so few people paid attention to what he said, except that Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and glanced at him.

However, just when Gongsun Xun was about to yell and scold him, he suddenly caught a glimpse of someone beside him. Then he couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He turned to the person and asked, "What do you think, Brother Meng De? Do you want a little punishment?"

Cao Cao thought for a moment, but immediately shook his head: "After all, everything happens for a reason, and the killing is too senseless... I think we can pick some of the troublemakers and execute them together according to the group we compiled for the prisoners before!"

"What do Xuande think?" Gongsun Xunfu named another person.

"I..." Liu Bei, who had been silent for a while, thought for a moment, but did not give his own opinion. "I don't know how to deal with it. Please enlighten me."

Gongsun Xun nodded slightly when he heard this, but then slowly shook his head.

The person who nodded was because his inner estimation of Cao Cao and Liu Bei was correct.

Among them, Cao Mengde has quite a Legalist style, but he is not cruel by nature, let alone a natural hero. How could a person think about slaughtering cities and killing prisoners as soon as he goes to the battlefield? In fact, the one his mother said, "I would rather bear the consequences of the world."

Cao Mengde, who said, "Don't let anyone in the world betray me", seems to have been raised by the troubled times and gradually emerged. Liu Bei is also similar. Facing the troubled times that have just begun, he is still very young and clueless and does not even have his own opinions, so

You can only remain silent and choose to learn and observe.

They all still need experience...whether it's positive or negative...but they all have a lot of promise.

As for shaking his head, Gongsun Xun had already made a decision... To be honest, if he was going to take the newly surrendered soldiers for his own use, Gongsun Xun might stage a drama of staying overnight in the surrendered military camp to attract people's hearts. However, this

More than 20,000 people are just prisoners who escaped with their lives because of the presence of remnant soldiers in Yingchuan. Is he crazy for playing this game?

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!

"Watch carefully and threaten severely. If anyone escapes, we will kill him without mercy. If you don't cause trouble, don't pay attention to him!" Gongsun Xun ordered Cheng Pu, and then he turned back to the tent and went back to sleep, as if he wanted to continue sleeping.

Everyone was at a loss for a moment.

"What do we care about these prisoners?" Lu Fan suddenly realized and laughed. "Tomorrow they will naturally know that we are not trying to kill them. In a few days, when the imperial decree comes, they will probably have nothing to do with us! Now that Demou has made arrangements

, then all of you should go back to your camps and appease the sergeants of your headquarters!"

Everyone suddenly woke up and returned to camp speechless.

However, after a night of panic, everyone did not sleep well, and when they woke up in the morning, they were often tired. But fortunately, the more than 20,000 captives gradually woke up and settled down. After this, they became more diligent and honest, which made the body collectors

Work has become much easier.

However, there are exceptions, such as Gongsun Xun. He seemed to have slept very well yesterday and only got up calmly at three o'clock in the morning, which is particularly enviable.

"Two pigs!" In Yangzhai City, Lou Zibo, who had not slept all night, his eyes were red, but he calmly threw out two of the five wooden cards.

Xi Zhicai's eyes were red and he was sweating profusely. He looked at the wooden sign in his hand and felt helpless. The neighbor next to him also shook his head repeatedly.

"Two more pigs!" Lou Zibo threw out two more cards.

Xi Zhicai's face turned red this time.

"A cow." Lou Zibo smashed the last card in his hand, and then said calmly, "You two give me the money."

Xi Zhicai looked down at his last piece of gold, pursed his lips and said nothing for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and pushed the piece of gold out: "Admit your bet and admit defeat."

Upon seeing this, the neighbor quickly threw out a piece of gold, but hurried away holding the remaining five or six pieces of gold.

Lou Zibo turned over and sat down on the bed, opened the window, and under the glare of the sun, he suddenly squinted his eyes, then twisted his beard and turned back, staring at the only person left on the couch. Xi Zhicai, who was shocked by the sight, was forced to

Stay calm and look at the other person calmly.

"I remember Brother Zhicai doesn't have a wife?" Lou Gui suddenly asked an incomprehensible question while twisting his beard.

"Yes, yes!"

"Looking at the situation in your family, it seems that your parents passed away early?" Lou Gui continued to twist his beard and asked.

"Everyone knows." Xi Zhicai couldn't help sweating again on his forehead. "Otherwise, why would I wander so far?"

"Before you...you said yesterday that you were willing to admit defeat and let me do whatever I wanted?" Lou Gui seemed to have not heard the other party's words and continued to ask while twirling his beard, his eyes becoming more and more weird.

"Not bad!" Xi Zhicai managed to reply. "A real man..."

"That's it, here comes someone!" Lou Zibo suddenly shouted. "Tie this rotten gambler to me and put him in a big wooden box... Now carry him with me from the street to the county temple to examine Zhengnan.

Go there!”

Xi Zhicai was stunned, and then stopped talking.

"If it weren't for the unbearable heat and you are weak." Lou Zibo twisted his beard and sneered. "Otherwise, I would have put you in a wooden box and sent you directly to my general... Just be content!"

After saying this, he proudly walked out with his hands behind his back.

But as several names swarmed in, Xi Zhicai started to speak again but stopped.

————I am the dividing line that once again hesitates to speak——————

"In the past, Xun defeated the Yellow Turbans and surrendered tens of thousands. At night, when he was stationed at Changshe, he was suddenly disturbed and started a fire at night, and the whole army was disturbed. Xun said to the left and right: 'Don't move. I treat my soldiers as brothers and sisters, how can you rebel against me?

"The troops must be sent down because of rumors and slight disturbances." So he ordered all the troops to sit down with their weapons and gather under the tent, and then settled down. When things are calm, I know that because the army has moved camp, there is a fear of surrendering the troops.

, there were rumors that they were going to kill each other, so they hugged each other and cried at night, making noises and unrest, and set fire to fight. Everyone obeyed. Shi Cao was the deputy general, and if he violated the rules by surrendering his troops, he could be killed.

In the barracks, they stayed in the middle tent. The generals were stunned and stayed on guard without rest. At dawn, Xun calmly came out of the tent. All the surrendered soldiers kowtowed without rest, fully feeling his virtue. Everyone was convinced." - "Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty". Wang Can
