Vol 2 Chapter 312: Doctrine of mercy without mercy


In another section of Huai Shui, on a small dike, Xie Xuan had a good silk gown, just like what he was when he appeared in Jingkou. His hair was neatly combed and spotless, watching him whistling past him The Huaihe River has a calm look.
There was a lot of dust on Liu Yu's body, and he stood silently beside him. There were only two people on this dike. The river wind blew their hair bands and conquered clothes. Two people with such sharp contrasts stood like this. Here, it seems to be somewhat harmonious.
Xie Xuan sighed softly: "Xiaoyu, aren't you wondering why I didn't wear armor today but was dressed like this?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "After this battle is over, Xuanshuai can also recover a while. You are still dressed like this, it looks elegant and noble."
Xie Xuan sighed and stretched out his big white hands. His slender fingers were like jade pillars, and his skin was very well maintained. Like a woman, he looked at Liu Yu: "How much blood is on these hands, Do you know Xiaoyu? A murderous general, you actually say he is elegant! "
Liu Yu originally wanted to speak, but Yu Guang glanced at the corners of his eyes, but saw dozens of headless bodies floating up and down in the river water, and suddenly realized that, anyway, Xie Xuan was the coach of the army, killing tens of thousands of enemies in this battle. Even if he did n’t commit suicide himself, after all, he ordered that tens of thousands of lives would die, and it ’s true that his hands are bloody.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu was silent, and Xie Xuan calmly looked at the body floating in front of him: "Xiaoyu, do you want to say that Liu Laozhi and others will kill the prisoners and make merits, so bad?"
Liu Yu nodded: "If you kill the enemy on the battlefield, it doesn't matter how much you kill, but the surrendered enemy forces have already given up their resistance. They deceive people to surrender, and then kill them. This behavior, Subordinates are incomprehensible. "
Xie Xuan shook his head: "Xiaoyu, there is a sentence I don't know if you have heard of it.
Liu Yuzheng said: "But the ominous killing is also from ancient times. From the ancient times, Li Guang, a generation of famous generals, all ended badly because of the killing."
Xie Xuan smiled slightly: "You only saw the ending of Bai Qi and Li Guang, but have you ever thought that these two people can become the famous names of the ancients and let their subordinates be willing to work hard? As a general, the first thing to think about is how to break the enemy, and the second thing is how to get benefits for your men. If you ca n’t do either of these two things, it will be difficult to win on the battlefield. "
Liu Yu shook his head in disbelief: "The subordinates did not use this trick, did they also win the enemy army? The friendship between the brothers is not such a cold interest."
Xie Xuan sighed: "You can get along with Tan Ping with dozens of them, hundreds of people, one or two thousand people day and night, but you can't eat and live with tens of thousands of sergeants like this. The human heart is the most difficult thing to master in the world , Especially the army, the soldiers and soldiers come from all corners of the lake, from all directions, everyone has different ideas. Only on the battlefield is meritorious and meritorious, this is common. You can give loyalty to dozens of people, hundreds of people, be the elder brother, But it ca n’t be the same with tens of thousands of people. You have to come up with something that is worthy of their death.

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Then take these tens of thousands of brothers to build meritorious service, win the battle, and win the big victory, and on the battlefield can win the enemy's first rank, why do you have to kill and surrender this way?"
Xie Xuan didn't seem to expect Liu Yu to reply like this, first he was stunned and smiled instead: "Xiaoyu is Xiaoyu, this arrogance is really powerful. You are right, if you are a general, you can fight under the command A big victory, it can indeed bring enough benefits to the subordinates. But this time the situation is special, because the Qin army collapsed without fighting, we cannot kill a large number of enemy troops on the battlefield, and if these people are captured, press the big Jin ’s military system is not counted as a gain. For ordinary soldiers, it is a big loss. "
Speaking of which, Xie Xuan paused and looked at Liu Yu: "Xiaoyu, you took thousands of soldiers in front of you to wipe out 20,000 cavalry soldiers. These are solid contributions, even if you don't care, but With your brothers, you have gained a lot of benefits, and even those blacksmiths can directly get rid of the logistic status of the craftsmen and transfer to the combat force, so they are of course happy, but you must know that there are nearly 80,000 soldiers, not as good as you. People ’s luck can make a difference, so Liu Laozhi and his staff find some benefits in this way. For military merit, I can only open one eye and close one eye. "
Liu Yu understood it now, and sighed: "I know today. As a general, I have to consider not only the outcome of the battle, but also have to consider all aspects, which is really troublesome. , I still keep my point of view on this matter, but I always think that prisoners of war can be killed today, and tomorrow may be able to kill good and meritorious. This trend should not be raised! "
Xie Xuan's expression changed: "Liu Laozhi said he wanted to kill Liang and take credit?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "No ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But I think this will continue. If the northern expedition reaches the enemy's territory in the future, I am afraid that the sergeant who has killed the red eye will not be able to stop it. It ’s a matter of course to kill the enemy ’s people. In the future, if my Dajin wants to expedite to the north, I still have to win the hearts of the people in the north. I ca n’t treat them as enemies, let alone slaughter casually. Wan attention. "
Xie Xuanzheng said: "I will pay attention to this point, this is a special task, I also need to let the soldiers maintain the instinct of this beast before the next war, but next time, it may not be necessary. . "
Liu Yu's complexion changed, and he said strangely, "The next war? Xuan Shuai means that Qin Jun will come back soon? Not so fast. My army wiped out 80,000 Qin troops after all this time, even if Qin Guo is strong, It ’s not so easy to slow down. "
Xie Xuan smiled and waved his hand: "Xiaoyu, you still underestimated Qin Guo and underestimated Fu Jian. Look at it, this time Fu Jian's victory in Jingzhou and won Xiangyang, but it was a fiasco in Lianghuai, eight The whole army of the Great Army is annihilated. With his personality, he will never stop there. He will definitely fight against our soldiers. Prepare for it. Next, the storm will come, and you will definitely have a place to use. of!"
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "I can't wait for this day, rest assured Xuanshuai, I won't let you down!" (End of the second volume)
