The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 559
It was near the end of midnight, and it was midnight.

Cao Cao and Xin Ping, escorted by their personal guards, fought their way out of the chaotic army, hurriedly faced difficulties, and headed straight for Baima City.

Seeing this, Wei Yan immediately led his army to chase, but in the dark night, he was surrounded by chaotic troops, and he lost after only three or five miles.

When Wei Yan returned to the battlefield, the battle had officially entered the second half.

The soldiers of Cao Yuan's coalition army, who had no fighting spirit, suddenly became defeated and fled in all directions after losing Cao Cao's command.

According to Guan Yu's original intention, if Cao Cao led the crowd to fight to the death, he would push the front line to the river bank step by step, and finally drive these enemy troops into the Yellow River like ducks.

But now that Cao Cao hastily retreated, leaving only these defeated soldiers like frightened birds, Guan Yu's goal could not be realized.

After all, it is impossible to surround and kill 5000 people with 3 people, even with the assistance of the Yellow River.

But there are also advantages, that is, you don't have to consume the lives of soldiers to win a tragic victory.

A similar scene was once played out when Lin Chao led his army to attack Zhang Chun in the past.

When people are desperate, they will feel fear and despair at first, but once this force passes, the extreme fear and despair will turn into anger that swallows everything, and the whole person will become numb.

When these tens of thousands of soldiers are really going to be cornered, their counterattack before they die will definitely cause great damage to Guan Yu's troops.

After all, even when attacking a city, you have to know how to encircle the city and prevent the enemy from seeing the hope of life, then they can only fight you to the death.

Therefore, for those enemy soldiers who were fleeing in all directions, Guan Yu only ordered the soldiers to shout that those who surrendered would not be killed, but he did not really divide his troops to chase them, and let them flee.

As for the remaining enemy troops who could not escape, Guan Yu was not polite, and ordered to start shrinking the encirclement, completely enclosing this group of enemy troops.

Just as Guan Yu commanded the soldiers to fight, Wei Yan rushed over on his horse and shouted loudly: "Father, the child is incompetent, let Cao Mengde run away!"

Hearing this, Guan Yu didn't blame him, but just waved his hand and said, "No problem, as long as we win this battle, the army can continue to march to the hinterland of Yanzhou. Yuan Shao and Cao Mengde are both fish and meat, and they will be captured alive one day." .”

Wei Yan nodded, and said again: "Father, there are still some enemy troops in Baima City. My son is worried that Cao Mengde will join them. Do you want General Sun to attack the city immediately?"

"Don't worry about it." Guan Yu shook his head and said, "Even if Cao Mengde joins him, he won't be able to cause much trouble. Let's wait until the enemy troops on the shore are dealt with for my father, and then I will make a fuss."

Guan Yu knew very well that with the 5000 people under Sun Guan's command, it was absolutely impossible to surround Baima City to death.Instead of this, it would be better to let Cao Cao join up with the defenders in the city, so as not to have to chase them separately.

If Cao Cao continues to retreat, then he will continue to attack. Anyway, the original purpose is to capture Yanzhou.

If you still dare to fight again, just clean up in one wave.

At this time, the fighting on the shore had already entered a white-hot state.Seeing that there was no hope of survival, these soldiers of the Cao Yuan coalition army who had no time to escape all gritted their teeth and prepared to fight to the end.

Since you don't give me a way out, you can only fight to the death!

But soon, Guan Yu ordered the soldiers to shout again.

"The descendants do not kill!"

"The descendants do not kill!"

"The descendants do not kill!"

……

The general threw himself away and ran away, the road ahead was blocked by a sharp knife, and there was a big river behind him, there was only one road left in front of these enemy soldiers.

It's better to die than to live, not to mention that the Xuzhou army has always had the practice of treating prisoners well, so when they heard the shouts of Guan Yu's soldiers, these enemy troops had already lost their fighting spirit.

Clang!

In the dark night, it is unknown whose weapon fell to the ground.

The next moment, bursts of similar voices sounded, one after another, endlessly.

"I'm waiting to come down!"

"I'm waiting to come down!"

……

After the weapons were thrown to the ground, these soldiers raised their hands and shouted hoarsely.

All they want is to survive.

With the light of the torch, Guan Yu saw this scene with a smile on his face.

On the other hand, Wei Yan, who was next to him, hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't help but said: "Father, do you want to recruit these enemy prisoners?"

"Why not?"

Wei Yan said with a distressed face: "If all these captives are collected, I'm afraid there will be tens of thousands of people. The food and grass in our army..."

Hearing this, Guan Yu's hand stroking his beard froze immediately.

No matter how heroic Guan Yunchang is, he still can't make food.

Without sufficient food, how can you take these soldiers for your own use?

It is only a matter of time before returning to rebellion.

After thinking for a moment, Guan Yu had an idea in his mind, but suddenly asked Wei Yan: "Master Wen, in your opinion, how should we deal with these more than ten thousand captives?"

"This……"

Guan Yu has always been very strict in governing the army, Wei Yanwan didn't expect to ask his own opinion on such a crucial question, and was taken aback for a moment.

"Don't hide your words, just speak up." Guan Yu said.

After thinking hard for a while, Wei Yan cupped his fists and said, "Father, my son thinks that there are only three ways to deal with these soldiers.

First, they will be incorporated into the former army, just as we are about to march into Yanzhou, and every time we win a city, we will feed the people, so as to ensure sufficient food and grass in the army.

The second is to send them away and go home, so that they will inevitably not be used by the enemy again.

The third..."

When Wei Yan said this, a stern look flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Behead on the spot, so as to avoid future troubles!"

After listening to Wei Yan's words, especially the last sentence, a strangeness flashed in Guan Yu's eyes, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand also tended to be uncontrollable, trembling non-stop.

Although this son is talented, he has no benevolence and righteousness in his heart. I am afraid that he will go astray in the future, or...

At this time, Guan Yu suddenly remembered what Lin Chao had said when Wei Yan was handed over to him: This son is very talented, and Fan Yun will teach by example, and he will surely achieve something in the future.

Forget it, just treat him as young and ignorant, and forgive him this time.

Of course Wei Yan didn't know what Guan Yu was thinking, but he could see it clearly in Guan Yu's gaze, which was a kind of disdain and contempt, and even a little bit of dislike.

"Father, did the child say something wrong?"

Cold sweat broke out on Wei Yan's forehead, and he asked weakly.

"You're right, I guess most people in this world do the same thing..."

Guan Yu shook his head slowly, then stared at Wei Yan with sharp eyes, and said with a serious face: "But you remember, as the adopted son of a certain person, I, General Xuzhou, must never say such things in the future, without even thinking about it." Come again!

If you commit the crime again, someone will personally send you on your way! "

These words were a bit serious, and Wei Yan fell to his knees with a 'plop' in fright.

Guan Yu looked at Wei Yan, who was covered in cold sweat with fright, a trace of unbearableness finally flashed in his eyes, and he said: "A certain brother has always regarded benevolence and righteousness as the foundation of his life. Xuzhou was prosperous in civil and military affairs just now, and was invincible.

You are just a child with a yellow mouth, how dare you say that you eat the four words of the people?
"Spring and Autumn" has a saying: A gentleman will not be seriously injured, and he will not capture two hairs.Killing captives is the behavior of a villain, which a gentleman would not do.I don't want to hear such words in the future! "

Only then did Wei Yan realize that what he said just touched the bottom line of Guan Yu and Liu Bei, and he was sweating profusely at the moment, and said quickly, "My child knows his mistake!"

After Guan Yu finished speaking, he took out a book from his bosom, handed it to Wei Yan and said, "This is the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period. I hope you will practice well in the future, and don't be cruel!"

Looking at the bamboo slips that had been covered by Guan Yu's touch, Wei Yan didn't understand that this was Guan Yu's most cherished thing, and finally understood Guan Yu's good intentions, so he broke down in tears and said: "I know my mistake, this thing is too precious, my son I dare not accept it."

"Tell you to hold it and hold it, don't act like a woman." Guan Yu said, "Go and send an order to collect these captives and send them to the north bank of the Yellow River tomorrow. They will replace some of the recruited civilians and be responsible for transporting food and grass. .”

"As ordered!"

　Well, this chapter adds additional shaping to Guan Yu.

　　When Lao Yu read the history books, the image of Guan Yu in his mind was probably like this, according to his family.

　　Don't talk nonsense, don't listen to it.

　　In addition, after being reminded by book friends, I found that the characters of Xin Ping and his younger brother Xin Pi have been reversed all the time, and what can be changed has been changed. I hope it will not affect the reading experience of everyone...

　　Feel sorry! ! !
