Cui Hong said sternly: "You must not do it. It is ominous to kill and surrender. This is the ancient truth. Bai Qi massacred more than 400,000 prisoners of war of Zhao State, thinking that he could destroy Zhao State's war potential in one fell swoop. But in the end, Zhao State still
Even if it is strong, it can still defeat Qin. Such atrocities will only make the people of the enemy country share the same hatred and fight to the end, because they know that surrender is also a death. If Qin had not used a counter-intuitive trick in the end, allowing King Zhao to kill the good general Li Mu
, I'm afraid that Qin may not be able to destroy Zhao. Bai Qi himself finally gave Qin Jun death. Before he died, he said that he ended up like this because he killed more than 400,000 people, which harmed the peace of heaven and brought retribution! Mr. Wang, you can't do it for one person.
If you are selfish, you will trap your Majesty in injustice!"
Wang Jian sneered and said: "I said that I am willing to be the king. Bai Qi, if he really wants any revenge, just come against me. After all, the Zhao country had a population of millions back then, but it could recruit millions of young men. Even if it is
Four hundred thousand dead, there are still enough Ding men, but Yan State does not have this kind of family background. As I said just now, only Xianbei Ding men are loyal to the Murong family, while the Han, Jie, Huns, Qiang and other foreign races are almost all Murong's
Enemies, as long as we eliminate these 50,000 Yan army prisoners of war, their blood will be shed, and there is nothing to worry about."
An Tong said in a deep voice: "Master Wang, even on the grassland, there is no such brutal Xingxing. Even if we attacked the Tiefu Xiongnu, we only killed the Liu family and did not kill all the Xiongnu soldiers.
Trap killing, relying on cruel killings, will not only fail to shock people's hearts, but will also have serious consequences. Not only the Xianbei people, but also the Han people will be panic-stricken. Yingcheng will defend it and fight to the end. Have you ever thought about the consequences?
?”
Wang Jian laughed: "The Han people are not so tough. Maybe the Xianbei people will fight to the death, but the Han people will always surrender if they have a chance to survive. Your Majesty, we on the grassland have been oppressed by the Central Plains for hundreds of years. If we don't pass
A heart-wrenching annihilation, I'm afraid they will soon recover. Since these 50,000 prisoners of war cannot be sent to the rear, let alone returned to the enemy's country, otherwise they will soon be re-armed and will become ours next time
Strong enemy, this time we relied on God's help, the enemy's internal strife, and a lot of luck to win. Next time, if Murong Chui personally commands these 50,000 people, who is sure that we can win again?
Mr. An, can you do it? Mr. Cui, can you do it?"
An Tong and Cui Hong did not respond and were speechless. Indeed, this victory was really a fluke. If it were not for the internal strife among the kings of the Yan Kingdom and the successful rebellion of He Lanmin, which made Murong Lin give up the responsibility of the rear guard, it would be difficult to say who would win or lose.
, if we do it again, it is hard to say that we will win, so the two of them only refuted it from the perspective of killing and surrender, which is unlucky and benevolent. But from a military point of view, killing more than 50,000 people is indeed the best way to destroy the strategic ability of the Yan State.
s method.
Tuoba Gui glanced at Cui Hong: "Mr. Cui, does Mr. Wang's words make sense?"
Cui Hong sighed: "The Central Plains has been unlucky since ancient times. Bai Qi, Xiang Yu, Shi Hu and others all ended up tragically because of the massacre of prisoners of war. Moreover, violence can scare the people for a while, but over time, as your strength weakens,
When you can no longer scare others, they will repay you twice as much."
Wang Jian sneered and said: "Mr. Cui, according to your statement, we should not even exterminate the Tiefu Xiongnu. On the grassland, the weak eat the strong. For the weak who are defeated, they often massacre the whole family like this, and there is no retribution."
Retributive, on the contrary, if you leave the enemy unkilled, he will eventually bite you. Isn't Fu Jian unkind? Murong Chui and Yao Chang fought back against their benefactor Fu Jian, and they also massacred cities and killed prisoners. Is there any retribution?
If we really want to talk about retribution, then we killed these 50,000 Yan Army prisoners of war today to avenge the hundreds of thousands of innocent people in the north that Murong Chui killed. It was God who used our hands to punish these unkind people. There is nothing wrong with that.
.Even if there is any punishment from heaven in the future, it will be on me, Wang Jian. Just like the punishment from heaven on Bai Qi, won’t it only be on him and not on Qin?”
Tuoba Gui nodded and looked at An Tong: "Mr. An, when we killed the whole Liu Weichen clan, you also opposed it, saying that it would make Hetao lose people's hearts. But now it seems that because we got rid of the people who have been causing trouble to the grassland for hundreds of years,
The Tiefu Xiongnu has won the hearts of the people. Now all the tribes in Hetao are grateful to us. Maybe, if we kill these prisoners of war of Murong Yan's army, the people of Hebei will take a bad breath and turn to us even more."
An Tong gritted his teeth: "It seems that your Majesty has already decided. I have nothing to say. I just ask your Majesty to remember that Mr. Cui and I are strongly opposed to what happened today. Mr. Wang Jian has repeatedly insisted that all the consequences will be in the future."
And ask him to take the responsibility."
Wang Jian sneered and said: "That's right, I will bear the responsibility. And not only will I bear the responsibility, but also ask your Majesty to let me execute it. My men have already dug hundreds of big pits just to entertain these people."
For those who were captured by the Yan army, everything is ready now, just waiting for your majesty’s order.”
The corner of Tuoba Gui's mouth curled up, and he looked at the Yan army prisoners of war sitting together, shivering, and hugging each other on the grassland in the distance, and a hint of unbearable color suddenly appeared in his eyes.
He Lanmin walked gently to Tuoba Gui's side, opened her red lips lightly, and whispered in Tuoba Gui's ear: "Don't forget how you left Murong Chui. Maybe there will be some among the 50,000 prisoners of war."
The future lord of the grassland is also unknown."
Tuoba Gui's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth: "Send an order to kill all the prisoners of war of the Yan army on the spot. All those captured will be punished with military merit, and they will be executed immediately!"
Wang Jian laughed excitedly, turned around and galloped towards the prisoners of war. He no longer cared about letting the messengers use flags and drums to convey orders. As he ran, he drew his saber, waved it in the air, and shouted: "Revenge."
The time has come, kill all the swallows and dogs, leaving no one behind!"
There were bursts of yelling and cursing from the prisoners of war in the Yan army. Some people jumped up and shouted: "Brothers, fight with Wei Gou!"
But these screams and curses soon disappeared with the sounds of bows breaking strings and knives entering the body. What came next were bursts of screams and wailings. In the face of death, human beings are so helpless.
The fragile and prepared Wei soldiers turned into butchers and drove groups of Yan soldiers into large pits. Then, they began to push up the soil around the pits.
