Three thousand self-destructive

All the generals did not object to Chen Kefu's decision. There was no humanitarian in the eyes of these veterans on the battlefield. If Chen Kefu had not allowed to kill prisoners, maybe the light would have been sunk, Lu Shishen would have brought soldiers and generals to the prisoner camp to blood.

Veteran Li Benlei and young player Luo Lin and others were even more calm and had no words.

Chen Kefu remembered that these people had a criminal record. When he attacked Xincheng, it was the leader of the veteran General Li Benlei. He led a group of officers in the military camp to slaughter the warehouse that imprisoned many large and small officers in Xincheng. Until now, he still remembers the scene he saw when he stepped into the warehouse that day. The corpses were all over the ground and blood flowed half of the warehouse.

He was not a humanitarian, but he just felt that he had seized Liaodong and ambushed twice in a row, clearing out the Liao army on both sides of the Liao River. The entire upstream and downstream of the Liao River were already his world. He had already made accusation that he was the ruler of Liaodong in his heart. Since he became the boss, he had to think about the long-term. Killing alone cannot solve the problem, and it would be a pity to kill so many young and strong people.

Chen Kefu glanced at Li Benlei and Luo Lin, and both of them said nothing, probably thinking of their relatives.

"In fact, they will be completely eliminated by killing these Liao people and will be liberated from then on. I think the biggest punishment for them is not to kill them, but to demote them to slaves. Now we can basically say that we have gained a foothold in Liaodong. As long as we defeat the army that the Liao people may go north in the future, it can be said that this land of Liaodong is our world. Don't you think it's better to demote these people to slaves and let them do hard labor?"

"If you feel unhappy, then we will sell all these Liao people. Whether they are sold to the Central Plains as slaves or to the tribes in western Liaoning. That is, they will be angry and make them worse than death from this life and become slaves from generation to generation. We can also make some money back and supplement military funds. What do you think, my grandfather?"

Li Benlei was silent for a long time before saying, "Just as the general said, it's just that these Liao dogs are cheap!"

Hearing the old man agreed, Chen Kefu smiled, "Okay, let's do it. The soldiers of the three armies besieged the Liao people, General Li Jie is responsible for the supper of the soldiers, the treatment of the wounded soldiers and the guarding of the prisoners of war. The other soldiers are treed fences and deer antlers at the foot of the surrounded mountains of the Liao people. This time, the Liao people dispatched 80,000 people at once, which was completely beyond our expectations, otherwise it would not have been so difficult. But now we have divided the Liao people, so we don't have to fight with them anymore. Just put some effort into surround them, and we will trap them to death. Then we will directly trap them to death. In less than three days, the Liao people will surrender even if they die!"

"No!" The generals took the order and said goodbye one after another.

"General Liu, please stay. I have something to talk to you." Chen Kefu looked at Liu Tiezhu without saying a word, followed everyone to prepare to leave the bill, and hurriedly called him.

Liu Tiezhu, a man in his thirties, was not very tall, but strong, full of muscles, and his eyes were very energetic. However, his armor was covered with mud and water, and his eyes were even more dim and unsightly. Hearing Chen Kefu called him, he stopped mechanically.

Seeing the general who was once full of excitement on the battlefield, he seemed to have grown a lot aged suddenly, and Chen Kefu felt very uncomfortable. He understood the feeling of a general who valued glory and was defeated at this time.

Chen Kefu walked over, reached out and patted his chest a few times, shouting, "General Liu, remember that when I formed the Pojun Camp, you were one of the fifteen lieutenants under my tent. At that time, Mao Yi, Lu Shishen, Chen Qing and others were just rookies who entered the army. Apart from being able to rush, they didn't know any combat formations and military tactics. Even the general was the same at the time."

"Do you remember how General Li introduced you to me?"

"I remember the old man told me that you are an old man in the Zuo Yigu Army. Although you are only thirty-four or five years old, you have been in the army for more than ten years, fighting south and north, fighting on the battlefield for a long time. And you have always been calm in using troops and feel the morale of the army. At that time, I once told you that I hope you can give me some guidance in commanding troops in the future."

"Mr. You need to say nothing more. General I am sorry for you, I am sorry for your trust in your humble position, and my brothers under my command. Today, the soldiers of the Fifth Division were defeated by this great defeat and lost thousands of troops in one battle. This is the blame of General I am asking General I will deal with the law and use the law of the army." Liu Tiezhu knelt on the ground, his whole head lowered, and he lost the free and easy life of the past.

"Have me up, I will tell you what happened in the past, not to blame you. The defeat of the Fifth Division today is not a crime of war. If you really want to take responsibility, the responsibility should be on me."

"Master, how can you be responsible for this? I am the commander of the Fifth Division. I failed the Marshal's expectations for me. I did not lead the Fifth Division well, and I was guilty of it."

Chen Kefu saw that he knelt down and refused to get up, and said nothing. He turned around and returned to the tent. The heavy rain outside was still falling. The sky seemed to have collapsed. The ground had accumulated water that had not crossed its instep. The patrol soldiers were all wearing straw raincoats and walking in the rain.

"In this ambush, based on the information we received from the prisoners, we thought that Yuan Taizuo dispatched about 25,000 to 30,000 people. In order to be more stable, we mobilized all the troops and horses to come. We originally wanted to fight an ambush, and wanted to defeat the Liao people directly with our superior troops. But the matter was beyond our expectations. Yuan Taizuo actually brought 80,000 people, which was something that no one expected."

"Although we have 20,000 more people than them, you also know that among our 100,000 people, there are 70,000 soldiers and 30,000 people strong. The remaining 70,000 soldiers are only 10,000 elite soldiers, and 4,000 of them belong to the Heavy Cavalry Brigade and the Light Cavalry Independent Regiment. Our 6,000 veterans were scattered among more than 60,000 soldiers. This time Hu Hai was responsible for staying behind, and more than 1,000 veterans did not come. Most of them were only 9,000 to fight against the Liao people and 80,000. Although we now know that their real soldiers and horses are only 30,000, but they are still stronger than us."

"I didn't think carefully about it. The heavy infantry brigade has the best equipment and the best soldiers, and the trained early. I fought a real battle in the Liaodong City ambush. After the war, I made a mistake again. I punished them heavily. This time I was holding my breath. So they worked together and were very brave."

"General Zhang He of the Fourth Division performed worse than you in the last ambush in Liaodong. The Liao people only charged and they all collapsed. Your Fifth Division is the weakest unit in the entire army. The soldiers were selected in a hurry at that time. It can be said that the overall quality is much worse than the first and second divisions. And you are different from other troops. The other divisions have already been on the battlefield once, and all have seen blood. It was the first time you went to the battlefield, and it was very difficult for you to persevere for one afternoon for the first time. Later, it was defeated because Yuan Taizuo led more than 10,000 elite troops to attack you. Even if it was not your fifth division today, even if it was replaced by Mao Yi's Fifth Division and Hu Hai's Third Division, no matter which division it was, it would still be defeated."

Liu Tiezhu did not raise his head and said softly, "But today the defeat was my Fifth Division, and he was defeated so badly, and he lost more than half of the loss. Even the regiment flag lost two sides, and the camp flag lost seven sides."

"You are defeated, but you are not defeated. In terms of performance, you are defeated today, losing your soldiers and generals, and losing the battle flag. But on the other hand, if it weren't for your defeat, all the main elite troops of Yuan Taizuo were attracted away, we wouldn't have defeated their central army so quickly, and we wouldn't have even won so quickly. So, you don't have to blame yourself. A brave general, even if he is defeated, will not be depressed. He will bravely raise his head and face the bleak result. It is not scary to suffer defeat. What is afraid of is that after he loses, he will be unable to rise. Then you will not be defeated by the enemy, but by yourself."

"Liu Tiezhu, raise his head. It's no big deal to fail. Seriously summarize today's experience. If the soldiers don't work, then train a team of elite soldiers. If the officers don't work, then take a good start and bring these officers out. Zhang He of the Fourth Division also suffered a defeat last time, but do you see that they performed very well today? Only by knowing shame and being brave can you win every battle. I don't want you to be the overlord Xiang Yu, and commit suicide if you lose."

"A qualified general is to win without being arrogant and lose without being discouraged. I won't say much. Go back and take good care of the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Division and convey it to them. I said that I salute them for their sacrifice today and let them not have any psychological burden. In the future, we will fight with the Goguryeo people and have the opportunity to let him go. What I hope is that next time, I will see a different Fifth Division, an elite Fifth Division, your lack of personnel and weapons, I will even add some veterans from the military camp to supplement it. I hope you can take on the responsibility of a general and train this army well."

Liu Tiezhu looked at Chen Kefu not only not holding him a little responsible, but also kept comforting him. He was sobbing in his heart. A strong and powerful man in his thirties almost cried out. Finally, he controlled himself. Liu Tiezhu stood up, raised his head and stood up straight, solemnly saluted a military salute, and shouted loudly, "Please rest assured, the commander-in-chief, I will never forget today, and I will train the Fifth Division into an iron army. If not, I will commit suicide to apologize!"
