Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 357 Disposal of Prisoners 2
That night, Gongsun Xu summoned generals Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Xu Huang, Huang Xu and several lieutenant colonels to discuss how to deal with the prisoners. They have all figured out how to kill those fat and oily Xianbei army leaders and a group of generals.

The six leaders and the seventeen commanders who were screened out were all invited to the tent by Gongsun Xu. For these captives with status, Gongsun Xu gave enough respect and corresponding treatment. Of course, this was not without price. , For example, all the valuables on these people with status were looted.

After the captives entered the tent, Gongsun Xu stared at them and said, "Everyone, sit down, the tents are simple, and this is the only way to entertain you for the time being."

Gongsun Xu really didn't come up with any good things to entertain these captives who are said to be very prestigious, that is, three roasted whole lambs, which may not be enough for these people to eat. Speaking of which, Gongsun Xu is really a bit stingy. However, according to Gongsun Xu, he is not the biological father of these people and has no obligation to feed and drink for them.

The 23 people were really starving. Gongsun Xu locked them up for so long, and in addition to giving each meal a piece of flatbread that was about to mold, he also added two bowls of water. Originally, Gongsun Xu wanted to further spiritually kill them. They were defeated, so his original intention was not to give them any food or drink, but it seemed too unreasonable to do so.

Gongsun Xu looked at the group of prisoners who didn't eat at all and said: "Everyone, what have you gained from staying in my camp for so long? I think you all look a little fatter, and now you seem to be a little thinner. This is good for you." Your body is fine."

Although these people despised Gongsun Xu's behavior extremely in their hearts after hearing this, they dared not say it. There was only so much mutton, and if anyone slowed down a bit, it would be gone.

Seeing that they were silent, Gongsun Xu picked up his wine glass and coughed. Dian Wei stood up and yelled at these people, "Are you idiots? Didn't you hear my lord talking to you? You're a prisoner and you're so arrogant. Could it be that you really think you are something special, come on, take all the food away from me."

Immediately, a sergeant stepped forward and took all the mutton from these people's hands. Now these people were all dumbfounded. They just ate a few mouthfuls, and many people were still licking their lips. They hadn't eaten any meat for several meals. Almost hungry and panicked.

One of the tougher leaders stared at Gongsun Xu coldly and replied: "It's God's will that we fall into your hands today. If you want to kill or cut, you can do whatever you want."

Most of the others also had this expression. After all, in their experience, they had never heard that the Northern Border Army would leave a living, unless the party captured by the Northern Border Army was willing to surrender to the Northern Border Army, but the problem was their own The identities of these people here are here, and they say they want to serve the Northern Border Army, not to mention Gongsun Xu, they don't even believe it themselves.

"Presumptuous, the prisoner dares to speak wildly." Huang Zhong said angrily after hearing this: "What do you think you are, if it weren't for my lord's pity, you would have been dragged to the dogs long ago."

When Huang Zhong spoke, he directly locked on the leader. The killing intent exuded by the first brave general of the Northern Border Army was not something ordinary people could resist. They don't have a good face. Although they admire heroes, they also hate idiots who don't know the current affairs, especially this kind of idiots who think they are heroes.

The atmosphere in the big tent was a bit cold, Gongsun Xu put down his wine glass in time and said with a smile: "Why, do you want to die after being caught by me? Doesn't anyone want to go back to be with family members, go back to their tribe and continue to be His own leader and commander? It would be a pity if he died here in vain.

Think about it, what will your family do after you die?What about the foundation you worked so hard to build during your lifetime?What will you do with the wealth you have earned through your hard work?Presumably all of you know more about the rules on the grassland than I do.

Once you are dead, your women will become other people's dolls, and they will have sex with other men day and night, and become tools for others to vent their animal desires. Most of your children will become other people's slaves, waiting to be bullied and insulted , As for your property, hehehe, of course it will also become a cyst of the victim. After all, you have done a lot of this kind of thing yourself, right? "

What Gongsun Xu said was quite sharp, and every single word aroused the fear in the hearts of these captives. They are all people with status and family background in the tribe, and they all have family businesses. If they could choose, they would really not They are willing to die like this, they still want to continue to enjoy the glory and wealth, and want to live that kind of extravagant life.

A leader with a more flexible mind heard a little subtext, and he said to Gongsun Xu flatteringly: "It is the intention of Changshengtian that we become prisoners of the general. This is Changshengtian's punishment for fighting against the general. Now I regret making such a stupid decision.

These days, we are all regretting it, the general is the emissary sent by Changshengtian, how can we resist it?Today, I am very lucky to be able to see the great general's face up close.

As for everything the general said just now, of course we all understand. If the general can give us a way to survive, we will definitely be willing to choose a way to survive, but I don’t know what the general said just now. The general made it clear. "

Seeing that someone finally gave in, Gongsun Xu also nodded and smiled and said, "You are very smart, if I hadn't been caught today, your tribe will definitely grow stronger in the future, I admire you very much.

As for what I just said, it couldn't be simpler. Isn't there a tradition of buying captives with a lot of money since ancient times on the grasslands?Are you reluctant to spend some property to redeem yourself?I don't think any of you are such short-sighted idiots. "

Gongsun continued to say that he understands so well, so there is no reason why people don’t understand. There is indeed such a tradition on the grasslands, but it is usually when the two sides are not sworn enemies or there is an opportunity for mediation. The Han people have a saying called Zonghuguishan Well, these prairie warriors also understand the consequences of letting the wolf go.

Besides, this time, they were supposed to fight against Gongsun Xu in the alliance, and they wanted to snatch the fruits of Gongsun Xu's hard work.Therefore, the crimes they committed should be unforgivable to Gongsun Xu.

If they knew that Gongsun Xu had such thoughts early in the morning, I'm afraid they would have brought it up a long time ago, so why would Gongsun Xu play charades with them now.After the prisoners understood what Gongsun Xu meant, they all stared at Gongsun Xu, hoping to get the details of the redemption from him.

Gongsun Xu paused on purpose at this time. He picked up the wine glass and carefully admired the ox horn cup in his hand. Then he said slowly when all the prisoners could not wait: "You tell me, how much is your life worth? If you don't drink too much Well, even if I agree, I'm afraid my generals won't agree. Anyway, they took a lot of risk in arresting you people, and many of them almost died. You have to give A little hard work, isn't it?"

When the crowd heard that Gongsun Xu had finally spoken, they were all excited. They rushed to quote the price first, some said that they were willing to offer [-] sheep, [-] cows and [-] war horses, while others offered Add more sheepskin and cowhide, etc. In short, these people hope that the price they offer can make Gongsun Xu's heart beat.

To be honest, Gongsun Xu, who was watching the Horn Cup at this time, was really moved. These people's bids were not low. Originally, according to his intention, it would be good for a commander to offer [-] to [-] war horses. After all, The commander had also worked his life to accumulate some property, and it was impossible for Gongsun Xu to squeeze them out all at once.

However, the prices offered by these commanders were higher than Gongsun Xu expected. As for the chiefs, none of them spoke for the time being, but Gongsun Xu could tell from their expressions that they didn't seem to care much about this little property.

Gongsun Xu felt a little annoyed at how he was so ignorant. He thought that when he was young, he led troops to plunder the Xianbei tribe. Some medium-sized tribes could get about 10,000+ cattle, sheep and horses after they were attacked, and even Hundreds of thousands of heads.

And at least half of the tribe's property belonged to the tribe's leader. How could they be stingy if they were asked to bleed a lot and get something good in exchange for their lives?

Gongsun Xu looked at these commanders and said with a smile: "I know that you all risked your life for some property, and I can't squeeze you out all at once, can I? At least, I have to give it to you and your family. Road after six o'clock.

However, you also know that what I lack most now are cattle, sheep and horses. The price you quoted just now, to be honest, should be enough to buy a life, but you think you can be safe after leaving my camp. Go back to your own territory?

Maybe other tribal leaders have already targeted your property. I think, otherwise, I will give you a hundred warriors each, and I will return the other leather armor weapons to you.

As for the price, hehe, warriors and leather armor weapons also cost money, you understand, besides, you can also choose some warriors with family backgrounds, so that you can pool together and share some of the burden.

Let me tell you a little more news, maybe you can't afford so many cattle, sheep and horses, but you have to understand that there are not a few tribes defeated by our northern border army this time, if you can go back sooner, maybe you can still It's a little extra money, isn't it?You're probably more familiar with this kind of thing than I am. "

After hearing this, more than a dozen commanders were speechless. Although they have more or less robbed a lot of cattle, sheep and horses over the years, these are all their property. The price they quoted just now is almost It's one-third of their family property, they are not as rich as those leaders.

However, these commanders immediately agreed to Gongsun Xu after thinking for a while. In the end, the commanders doubled the price before reaching an agreement with Gongsun Xu. Started with these richest chiefs.
