101 Drive devour to a miraculous effect, making Lu Bu angry.
Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he looked at the crowd that dispersed in a hurry. He couldn't help but secretly admire Zhang Han's plan to come up with this "dispel wolf and swallow tiger".
Yes, Zhang Han used this trick to "Turn the Wolf and Devour the Tiger"! The Chu soldiers who were hiding were tigers, while the Yanling people who were hiding the Chu soldiers were wolf.
After the thousands of people who watched the interrogation process, the people in Yanling who were unable to leave the city because of locking the city will inevitably know the deadline announced by Zhang Han. In order to avoid the Yanling people who were implicated by the Chu soldiers, although they knew that the Chu soldiers were not easy to mess with, they would inevitably attack the Chu soldiers hiding in their homes, softly, hardly, lightly or secretly.
Whether the Chu soldiers died in the end or the Qin soldiers because of the "betrayal" of these Yanling people, the purpose that Lu Bu thought of was achieved. Although it eventually caused Yanling City to fall into a small turmoil, the impact this time would definitely be much smaller than the impact caused by the Qin soldiers' searches and households throughout the city.
The remnants of the Chu army of more than 30,000 people were scattered in Yanling City, where hundreds of thousands of people lived, but Zhang Han could capture the vast majority of the tens of thousands of people without casualties. After the sunset set in the mountain that day, Zhang Han reported the harvest to Lu Bu, and captured more than 25,000 people in total, and obtained more than 4,000 dead Chu army corpses.
Although this number is somewhat different from what Nangong Yan said before, being able to capture so many remnants of the Chu army from the city was already enough to calm the resentment in the hearts of a large number of Qin soldiers such as Nangong Yan. But would Lu Bu really kill all these people directly?
"General, what do you say? These Chu soldiers are captured and cannot be killed all of them?" Nangong Yan, who was about to take a group of soldiers to kill all the Chu soldiers, was rejected by Lu Bu.
Lu Bu patted Nangong Yan's back and signaled him to calm down first, then said with a serious expression: "There are more than 20,000 prisoners of these Chu army. If you are asked to kill them all in Yanling City, do you know what the consequences are?"
Nangong Yan was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, "General, I don't know what the consequences will be caused by killing these prisoners, but most of these prisoners are stained with the blood of our brothers. If they are not killed, they will be in the army..."
"Okay!! Don't always use the brothers among the generals as an excuse for you to vent your anger! Although I am not old and I am not as old as you, I know at least one thing that no one can die on the battlefield. Whether the opponent kills you or your robes, or you and your robes kill your opponents, this is inevitable, and there is no right or wrong at all!
If you have the ability, go to vent your anger with the Chu soldiers holding swords and halberds on the battlefield. You always want to massacre those prisoners who have abandoned swords and guns and surrendered soldiers. Don’t you think this behavior is very shameful!!” Seeing that Nangong Yan could not understand his difficulties at all, Lu Bu was just trying to kill the Chu soldiers and suddenly became angry. Taking advantage of the lack of people around him, he cursed Nangong Yan directly without caring about Nangong Yan’s face.
Nangong Yan was stunned again. In Nangong Yan's image, in addition to being a little murderous in the battlefield, Lu Bu always gives people a feeling of being easy to get along with. This time, Lu Bu's scolding reminded Nangong Yan that although the young man in front of him is easy to get along with, he is not a fool. He will never retreat because of his own nonsense on key issues!
Lu Bu sat back on his stool angrily, staring at Nangong Yan with a pair of tiger eyes and shouted coldly: "The Chu people are naturally brave and brave, not inferior to our Qin army. Today, we forced the people of Yanling to capture the Chu soldiers hiding in the city, but this does not mean that the people in the city have no complaints in their hearts. After all, these Chu soldiers are all soldiers near their Yanling, and they all have some feelings. If all these Chu soldiers are killed, the first thing that will arouse is the anger in the hearts of the people in the city!
And this is not the biggest hidden danger. The blockade of Yanling City is just to prevent the exposing our army's virtuality and reality to Yanling's virtuality and reality, and is more used to confuse the Chu army that occupied Yingchen, but this is not a long-term solution after all. The blockade of Yanling City will be untied soon. By then, the news of our execution of all the Chu prisoners in Yanling will spread to the entire Chu State, telling the rest of the Chu army in disguise that even if they surrender or are captured by us, those Chu army prisoners will not escape and die at the hands of our Qin army, and completely cut off the "rescue" of the Chu army that is still fighting our Qin army! If it were you, if you knew that the surrender or being captured would be dead, what would you do? Answer me!!"
"Of course, naturally..." Nangong Yan seemed to have thought of something, and his tone of speaking was no longer as righteous as before.
Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief. Nangong Yan was an excellent general on the battlefield, but sometimes he was too impulsive. This time, he and Zhang Han tried their best to capture the remnants of the Chu army in the city, which gave Nangong Yan enough face. If it weren't for his brother's death in this battle, even the Chu soldiers who were hiding would not pay attention to it. This is not to say that Lu Bu looked down on the combat effectiveness of the tens of thousands of Chu soldiers, but once these people were captured, he would not be able to kill them and dare not use them. He would have to distribute at least 10,000 people to come and take charge of these prisoners, which would be really not worth the loss.
Since he had made concessions, Nangong Yan and the Qin soldiers who had extreme hatred for the Chu soldiers in his mouth must also make certain concessions for him. His bottom line is very clear, that is, at least he cannot be Yanling or massacred these Chu prisoners before the Chu State was destroyed. Even if they really hated those Chu army prisoners to the core, they would not interfere in their idle affairs after they and Li Xin broke the trajectory of history and destroyed the entire Chu State.
Lu Bu took a roll of bamboo slips from the side to see it, and said softly to Nangong Yan without raising his head, "Go back and calm down. It won't take long for General Li Xin to come. If you still feel that the decision I made is inappropriate, I allow you to discuss with General Li Xin in person. The situation is not clear yet. I hope you can focus more on the decisive battle to start with the Chu army, rather than being obsessed with hatred and obsession."
Nangong Yan looked complicated on his face. He wanted to speak several times, but in the end he still didn't say what he said in his heart. He could only bow his hands and turn around and leave...
