Uncle, please help the Han family

"My lord, what do you want me to borrow?" Looking up at Liu Yu, Captain Yuan asked with some trepidation.

Liu Yu smiled calmly, and said, "I want to borrow your head to straighten the army discipline."

"...Ah? Ah!"

Captain Yuan's face turned pale in an instant, his soul was frightened, and he couldn't understand what Liu Yu was talking about.

"Left and right." Liu Yu, on the other hand, staggered his body, without looking at him, and directly ordered, "Drag this person down and behead him, and use his head to warn the entire army—those who violate our military order and execute without authorization will be killed without pardon." .”

"...My lord, my lord, please forgive me!" Lieutenant Yuan, who didn't expect to be beheaded, cried out in fright, "The humble official is willing to pay the crime and make meritorious service... I beg your forgiveness, my lord!"

"Did crime and meritorious deeds? The only injury is that the guy who was left behind when he raped or raped the captive dared to say such a thing?" Liu Yu said mercilessly, "Pull it down."

"My lord, please spare me!" Captain Yuan, who was being dragged away, blew himself up loudly, "I am not the only one who did this! Also, and..."

However, no one responded to him.

The sound of begging for mercy became farther and farther away until it disappeared completely.

The captain, who despised military discipline, was dragged by two soldiers to the execution ground where he was going to execute Ke Bineng.Then, nearly a thousand soldiers specially arranged by Liu Yu watched the execution.

Amidst the barking, his head fell to the ground.

Witnessing this execution, the Han Chinese soldiers who were killed as an example were deeply shocked in their hearts.

Soldiers who originally thought that these behaviors were the privileges of officers felt a law called 'equality between officers and soldiers'.

The officers who felt that only they could do these actions felt a little awe and fear. Fortunately, they were not the ones who were treated as negative models.

All in all, they all understood one thing, that is——

Every word Liu Yu said publicly cannot be ignored.

……

Inside the POW camp.

Not many people knew that a lieutenant of the Han Army was executed, because as captives, they could not watch the execution.

But because this matter caused a lot of trouble in the Han army, some Hu people roughly knew what happened.

"That little girl named Ke Bineng doesn't seem to be dead."

"Huh? Not dead?!"

"Yes, and it was placed in a tent."

"What? Didn't you hear that she was dragged to sleep in a tent by a Han army captain, but she couldn't sleep, and even bit the captain's ear, so she was dragged and beheaded?"

"But then Liu Yu...Master Liu saw this incident, so he chopped off the captain."

"Chopped?"

Hearing these two sensational words, the barbarians around all rushed over and ate melons curiously.

"Yeah, cut it off."

"Impossible, how could it be cut? Stop talking nonsense. Can a little Kebi be worthy of Master Liu's anger and kill all their officers? Just use your brain and you will know it's fake!"

"Yes, yes, it must be fake. We are captives now. Who cares about our life or death? Maybe we will be dragged into a pit and buried in a few days."

"That's it. Didn't Master Liu promise that 'the surrender will not be killed'? But the lieutenant executed the prisoners privately, which violated his order, so he was beheaded."

"How did you know?"

"This is what I said when I heard a few Han soldiers chatting."

"Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, if you don't believe me, take a look, today there will be no Han soldiers here to arrest women."

The best way to test rumors is to start from the results.

If it is true that the Han army used the head of a lieutenant to enforce military discipline, then because of fear, the Han officers not only did not kill the prisoners these two days, they even restrained themselves from playing with the prisoners.

But, is there really such an army that is tolerant of captives?

As rumors spread through all the dozen or so camps, every POW with a stake in the matter began to wait.

Then, the day passed.

They were confirmed.

More than 3000 female barbarian soldiers, ranging in age from twelve to thirteen years old to more than 50 years old, each spent the night on the grass in the prisoner-of-war camp.

In the same way, the remaining seven or eight thousand male soldiers were all kept...um.

It is safe for both men and women.

Then, the sun came up the next day.

"Sure enough, it's true, Liu Yu must have rectified military discipline."

"So, you can believe the words 'the descendant will not be killed'?"

"Since it's Mr. Liu's words, it must be credible. He hasn't lied to us before."

"Damn it, if my brother surrendered honestly instead of running away, he wouldn't be shot from behind with random arrows!"

"Then if we don't kill us, how will we be dealt with?"

"It should be a coolie, repairing walls or raising horses."

"Building walls is a little more tiring, and raising horses is a little easier. In short, it's better than death."

"Will you put us back?"

"It would be great to be able to put it back. If I can go back this time, I will never follow those stupid kings to fight Youzhou again. This is a war that cannot be won. I would rather fight Han Fu than Liu Yu in the future." .”

"Be a little ashamed, you guys!"

Just when these people were chatting about the "future" that seemed vague, Hou Gumu, who was sitting behind with his face on his hips, interrupted them loudly.

All the prisoners of war turned their heads and looked at this experienced and brave veteran.

"Hou Gumu, who are you scolding?!"

"They are all captives. No one is afraid of you now. What are you proud of there?"

"Ridiculous, are you ashamed?"

"No, I have no shame either."

Hou Gumu lowered his head, didn't take these 'hostility' to heart at all, but numbly grabbed a handful of dry soil with his hands, and said with self-loathing: "I used to think that my hatred for the Han people had reached the bottom of my heart. I want to avenge my eldest son with the blood of the Han people. But then I found out that my hatred is so fragile. With just a few hundred dollars, a few bags of grain, a few pots of fine wine, and a few bolts of colored cloth, I can take away the blood of the warriors. Dignity lost."

"Hahahaha, it's so despicable!" Hou Gumu laughed bitterly, "My son was killed by the Han army, but I sold all the dozen or so horses in my family and sold them to the Han army to form cavalry. Their own army, and the purpose is just to exchange some more money, so that every winter in the future will no longer be hungry."

"..."

Hou Gumu's words resonated with many people.

Their lives have completely changed since the exchange.

It is no longer about bringing your family, moving around for grass, and fighting with other tribes for water.

They have a better way of living.

Grazing in spring and summer, raising the horses, cattle and sheep to be fat and strong, and then selling the livestock beyond the feeding capacity in autumn and winter, and replacing them with food, cloth and other living materials to survive this winter.

Then, the cycle repeats.

During this period, hunting was used as a secondary means of improving life.

In short, if you can survive without fighting.

So, who still wants to fight?

"I didn't want to come to this war, but the leader led the army to find me. If he couldn't go, he killed my daughter and son, and it was my wife's turn."

Hou Gumu turned the dirt in his hand into dust, let it fall slowly, and said with a ironic smile: "Our king wants to kill us, but their lord keeps us alive. Hahaha, hahaha!"

Hou Gumu's words were very harsh, so harsh that some guys who were not willing to surrender began to warn him in displeasure: "Don't talk such nonsense! Liu Yu just wanted us to die for him by showing us the murder!"

"Show us?" Hou Gumu laughed this time because he thought the other party was stupid, "Did you see it?"

"……you!"

"He killed people just because he wanted strict laws and regulations. What does it have to do with us to build a team of kings that the grassland people can never imagine!"

Pointing at the few Hu captives who still had the 'spines', Hou Gumu maximized his ridicule: "According to me, Liu Yu shouldn't do something like refusing to kill those who surrendered, and should put all these cowards of the Hu people to death. Throw them all into the pit and bury them, let the corpses stink in the soil, even the hawks and dogs are too disgusted to peck!"

At first they just disliked Hou Gumu's dogma, but after being insulted by pointing their noses like this, the public's anger suddenly rose.

Seven or eight young Hu people stood up angrily and walked towards Hou Gumu.

Then, start punching and kicking this 'traitor'.

Every blow was exhausted with all their strength.

Hou Gumu, on the other hand, did not make any resistance, allowing them to beat him.

Witnessing all this were countless Humin with numb eyes. They didn't try to persuade or participate in the fight, and they didn't even have the mood to cheer and watch the excitement.

After a while, several Han soldiers stopped the fight and pulled the youths out. They were charged with the serious crime of "prisoners fighting privately", divided by fifty lashes, and one of them was beaten to death on the spot.

But no one hated the Han army because of the death of their compatriots.

People like Hou Gumu became more and more among the Hu prisoners of war.

They were neither grateful nor afraid of Liu Yu, let alone hated him.

They were just thinking about one thing -

It would be great to be a subject of Liu Yu.

Chapter 68 Your King

After more than three days of rest in Juyongguan, the battlefield has basically been cleaned up, and the number of horses that can be recovered has reached the maximum that can be achieved.

Moreover, according to the report from the sentry horse, the rebels in Zhongshan County, Jizhou also lost their support because the hip-pulling Hu people did not even break through the pass. They were quickly suppressed by Han Fu and his army, and the leader of the bandits was even in the chaos. He died at the hands of his subordinates, and his heads were sent to Yecheng.

So for Liu Yu, there is only one thing that needs to be dealt with now-the Hu captives.

Of course, the solution is to absorb soldiers who are good at fighting among the Hu people into the Han army to improve the overall quality of the army.

But before that, there is one more thing that must be done, a very important thing, as a major national event of Liu Yu's basic policy towards Hu in the next few decades.

"My lord, Karasuma Jin has brought it."

Zhou Ling, who came in from the door, reported to Liu Yu who was sitting in front of Shuai's case.

"Yeah." Liu Yu nodded, ready to let him in, but because he suddenly thought of something, he raised his hand and called Zhou Ling back, "No hurry, let him in after half an hour."

"Here."

Zhou Ling nodded in agreement, and then stood beside Liu Yu with a halberd, without notifying the soldiers outside.

"Come here." Putting down the brush in his hand, looking at the handsome case in front of him, Liu Yu thought for a while, and then said, "Move this case away and put it in the side room."

"Here."

Following Liu Yu's instructions, several servants moved the copper table full of important documents out of the hall.

And without this thing blocking his feet, Liu Yu can finally stretch his body unscrupulously now.Leaning directly on the seat with Erlang legs crossed, like sitting in a first-class high-speed rail seat, very relaxed.

"Ling." After temporarily putting down the work in hand, Liu Yu talked to Zhou Ling in a casual tone, "What do you think of Saibei?"

"My lord is referring to..." Zhou Ling was puzzled, "What aspect?"

"Ah, it's the scenery, the climate, and the customs and customs."

"The scenery is very ordinary, it's all wasteland. The climate is colder, with more sand and dust than Jicheng. The customs..." Only for this question, Zhou Ling couldn't answer, so he said honestly, "If it's a prisoner-of-war camp The customs are quite simple.”

"...in the prisoner-of-war camp, they died if they dared to be unsophisticated."

"Well, then I don't know."

"Just a mouthful."

Liu Yu also knew that Zhou Ling was on duty now, and there were quite important meetings, so she showed such a formal attitude.

If it's after get off work, this girl will be more lively.

Although it is only a little bit, you can also see the vitality of the young girl from her.

Hey, when will I have the kind of "Hello my lord, LET'SPARTY!" 'The extroverted female subordinate.
