As Wang Xun entered the pursuit battlefield, all the soldiers began to actively restrain their behavior.
Governor Wang did not like to see people indiscriminately killing those who gave up resistance. Everyone in the coalition army knew this very clearly when they conquered Zhezhe City. But back then, everyone saw the face of the old man Feng Changqing who was protective of his shortcomings.
Not many people really took Governor Wang's orders to heart, so everyone did whatever they were supposed to do, and behaved very arrogantly. But now, no one dares to disobey the Hammer King's orders! After all, there are a few provocative Hammer King.
The fate of these powerful guys is obvious, and no one wants to follow in the footsteps of these unlucky guys.
But after such a huge victory, we can neither kill the defeated for pleasure nor carve up the prisoners privately. What fun can the brothers have in the ensuing pursuit battle?
This problem can't stump smart people, and soon the soldiers found a new adaptation plan. They no longer blindly tried to capture more prisoners, but targeted the heads of those guys wearing general uniforms among the defeated army.
As we all know, our Grand Governor Wang Xun has always paid attention to clear rewards and punishments when running the army. The higher the position of the prisoner, the greater the credit recorded on the head of the prisoner. The greater the credit recorded on the head of the prisoner, the greater the war.
The rewards that will be awarded later will be more generous. For the honors that should be registered and the promotions that should be promoted, even the big and small leaders under the princes of the Western Regions cannot directly receive the official titles of the Tang Dynasty, at least they can receive one from the Hammer King.
A large sum of gold and silver. Excluding the part that should be paid to the immediate boss, what really falls into one's hands can be exchanged for dozens of horses or a dozen beauties.
As a result, the generals at all levels in the defeated army were in great misfortune. They themselves were domineering, and after entering Chang'an, they quickly became infected with the same arrogant and extravagant habits of the original Chang'an defenders. They did not care about the armor they wore.
No one is willing to be outdone by a robe of the same level in terms of defensive capabilities and luxury. The coalition soldiers chasing after them from behind don’t need to make any inquiries. They can judge which target is more captive just by the color and gorgeousness of the armor.
Therefore, they all rode their horses to intercept the target, tied it up like a pig, and brought it to the Hammer King as a prisoner.
There are some guys who are very evil-minded. After capturing the prisoners, they are afraid that they will not be able to impress the Hammer King, so they put some effort into the details. Or they may tear off a few pieces of the valuable gold armor, exposing the prisoners in vain.
belly and plump thighs, hoping to make the Hammer King smile. Or give the prisoner a "eye-covering blue" to show that the prisoner in his hand is different. What's more, he can simply find a tree branch to insert it into.
Putting it on the back of the prisoner's neck to show that the other party dares to go against the Hammer King is tantamount to placing a bid to sell out!
Most people have a dark side in their hearts, and they like to see those who are usually aloof and unlucky, falling from the clouds to dust in front of their eyes. At the beginning, there were still a very small number of coalition soldiers playing tricks on the prisoners. In the blink of an eye,
, which attracted large-scale imitation. And those ordinary soldiers who were captured, after the initial panic, found that the victims of the victor's abuse were limited to officers at all levels who were previously superior. Instead of being able to share the same hatred with the enemy, they did not
He laughed heartlessly next to him.
"Hahaha, hahaha", the laughter came one after another, and soon reached Wang Xun's ears. After discovering that his subordinates were messing around, he just shook his head gently and did not strictly prohibit it. Although there was a strict order not to cause chaos.
Killing prisoners, but deep down in his heart, Wang Xun's hatred for the rebels was actually no less than anyone else. Even after Feng Changqing's death and the joint persecution of Gao Lishi and Bian Lingcheng, he was still not
Dilute it even slightly.
In the past few years, he led his group to sacrifice their lives along the Yaochashui River. Is it just to gain fame and wealth? Just to avoid the pursuit of Gao Lishi and others? On the way back to the rescue, Wang Xun asked himself more than once,
Came to the same answer every time.
No, definitely not. The reason why I and my brothers bravely fought bloody battles along the Yaochashui River was because of the Tang Dynasty behind us! But who could have imagined that when I looked back at my hometown with hope, this was what I saw.
Cruel result?!
The Tang Dynasty is gone. The Tang Dynasty that once made everyone full of pride when they think about it and is willing to pay everything for it is gone! What a cruel ending and what unbearable pain. It can be said that it is impossible to find the city of Chang'an.
When he was able to hold on, Wang Xun even thought of drawing his sword and committing suicide. But these rebel prisoners in front of him were the culprits who destroyed his dream and the last support in his heart. Almost everyone in the Anxi army wanted to
Only by peeling off their skin, pulling their tendons, chopping them into pieces, and crushing their bones and throwing away ashes can the hatred in their hearts be temporarily relieved.
However, Wang Xun could not do this. Treating the prisoners well was not only out of kindness in his heart, but also had extremely practical significance. First of all, killing prisoners would not be helpful in future battles with the rebels. Once the reputation of killing prisoners spreads, it will
If you fight against the rebels again, you will inevitably encounter full resistance from the other side. It will no longer be like today, where you can directly pursue death after destroying the enemy's belief in victory.
Secondly, for today's weak Anxi Army, prisoners are a rare source of soldiers. Judging from his past experience in leading troops, Wang Xun does not think that all prisoners are born rebellious. The vast majority of them are just
A guy with no sense of judgment. Since he has become An Lushan's subordinate, he can only act according to the tip of the commander's sword. He neither has the courage to disobey orders nor can he think of disobeying orders. As long as they can be used reasonably, we will find ways to do so.
Arousing their hatred for the rebellion, it is not difficult to transform them into part of the Anxi Army. Even if they cannot be the main force, as servants, they are much more powerful than the temporarily recruited Minzhuang.
Third, for the overall consideration of the Anxi Army, Wang Xun cannot do anything that damages the reputation of this team. Yes, just to maintain the false reputation of the Anxi Army, he has to treat the prisoners well. Although Feng Changqing never knew it
He said that he would hand over the Anxi army to him, but at present, Wang Xun firmly believed that he was the first successor to the governor of Anxi. He wanted to raise this battle flag alone. Regardless of whether others admitted it or not, he had already fled to Shuzhong.
The emperor and the prince who had taken refuge in Shuofang refused to admit it.
Therefore, turning the core figures among the rebels into the laughingstock of everyone is indeed beneficial to changing the souls of the captives. At least, after witnessing the white bellies and dark circles of the generals, those captured
The rebel soldiers would not easily listen to the former's greetings. Not only that, in Wang Xun's mind, he even had the idea of killing the general and leaving the troops behind. Although this idea only circulated in his mind, he was quickly suppressed.
.
"To report to the Grand Governor, the brothers have caught a fat sheep. His name is Wang Hong. On the rebel side is General Sweeping the Ground!" It was discovered that Governor Wang did not stop everyone's bad taste, and the generals became more and more unscrupulous.
The helmet of Wang Hong, the general who swept the north, was cut in half, with one half turned upside down on his ears. A ball of black mud was smeared on the tip of his nose, and the five long locks of beard under his chin were cut off in half.
It became three long and two short, with its shoulders bent to the left and right, which was indescribably funny.
Wang Xun just glanced at him and almost laughed out loud. "Nonsense!" He waved his hand to stop him, "Detain him, don't wait for him! I have uses for him."
"No!" the soldiers who presented the prisoners shouted in response, and happily took away General Wang Hong, who was sweeping the north, and registered them with Zhu Wuyi, who was responsible for taking in the prisoners. Before the group could go far, several more Cao soldiers arrived.
A guy dressed as a tribal Aijin came over. When he got in front of Wang Xun, he pushed the prisoner to the ground, then pulled the short braid on the back of his head with his hands, revealing his shaved face.
The beard, eyebrows and the front half of the bun on the top of his head were all shaved off. From the front, this person looked like a red egg. However, this red egg was also filled with flattering smiles. When he saw Wang Xun,
He immediately wagged his tail and begged for mercy, "Don't kill me, don't kill me. I am Hao Lianbu Aijin of the Khitan, and I have important military information to report to Governor Wang. Don't, don't..."
Wang Xun had no interest in the important military information mentioned by this person. Such a boneless guy could only receive limited respect from Sun Xiaozhe, and it was impossible for him to know any core secrets.
The red-skinned egg screamed and was carried away, and then several lieutenant generals from the Yan Kingdom were brought over. Among all the Jiedu envoys in the Tang Dynasty, An Lushan was the most authoritative, with more than 200,000 troops.
, there were six to seven hundred guys under his command who were worshiped as Zhonglang General. Of course, such trashy stuff on the streets could not provide any important military information. Wang Xun only took a few cursory glances and ordered people to take him to record his merits.
Just when he felt bored, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from not far away, "Put me down, let me down. Take me to see your general quickly. The friendship between me and him is extraordinary."
, I've made you anxious, tell you and wait in front of him, and the caretaker will let you walk around without food?"
"Who is this guy?" I have seen thick-skinned people, but I have never seen such thick-skinned people. They have been taken as prisoners, and they still have the courage to threaten others. Fang Ziling, Bao Bo and others all raised their heads and raised their eyes to offer prisoners.
The team waited and watched. Only five or six cavalry were seen surrounding an empty-saddled war horse, but there was no sign of anyone on the horse.
"Put me down, let me down." The threat sounded again, and everyone patrolled carefully, only to see a half-grown child on the side of the war horse. His whole body was tied up like a piglet, but he kept cursing for a moment.
stop.
"Let him down, be careful, don't hurt him!" Wang Xun suddenly heard the other party's name, quickly rode up to meet him, and ordered everyone to release the prisoners. "Master Jia, Wang is not able to restrain his men, and you have been wronged.
