Chapter 246: A strong man

The battle was in danger, but Xingyang was still in chaos.

Dong Qi also faces many difficulties, such as how to deal with prisoners after the war?

The number of more than 50,000 coalition prisoners far exceeds the total of the Xiliang Army and Bingzhou Army in Xingyang, and has posed a threat.

However, Dong Chi was not worried about the captives.

In his opinion, although the number of prisoners was large, it could not withstand the charge of the elite Western Liang army. As long as there were no major external factors to lure them, the captives of the coalition forces were not fools. Could it be that they stood up naked and fought against the spear and sword?

What made Dong Qi feel a headache was actually another group of prisoners.

Zang Hong of Guangling Army was once called a filial and honest person. His father Zang Min was once a general of the Huns and was a figure who had made contributions to the Han court. Zang Hong was a famous scholar today, with a heroic spirit and integrity. He was released as the county magistrate at the same time as Liu Yao and Wang Lang, and his political achievements were quite outstanding. Later, the ten regular attendants Zhang Rang tried to recruit Zang Hong, but was rejected by Zang Hong and even stopped being an official from then on.

The prefect of Guangling, Zhang Chao, admired this man's name, so he invited him to be the Gongcao of Guangling, who was very capable.

This time, the Sour Jujube League was chaired by Zang Hong.

Logically speaking, this person should not only be killed, but also cut into pieces. After all, he is considered the chief evil.

But such a person is not only Yang Ding, Li Tong and others plead for him, but even people like Jia Xu also pleaded with Dong Qi. Why? Zang Hong is so famous that if he kills Zang Hong, it will cause a lot of trouble.

In Jia Xu's words: This is a heroic hero, and it is ominous to kill him.

A heroic hero, how many people in the world can take on such evaluation? Even Jia Xu thinks so, and Dong Qi is really in a dilemma.

Kill, unknown.

If you don’t kill, it’s not reasonable to the Dharma.

Dong Qi had never encountered such a thing before, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed and asked in a deep voice: "Can this person surrender?"

Recruiting surrender?

Jia Xu and others looked at each other and shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

If you can surrender, can you still be called a hero of integrity?

Dong Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Even if you can't surrender or kill him. The teacher is a wise man. Can you give me an idea? You also know that this man is the leader of the Guandong princes. I am afraid that the Grand Master and the Marquis of Linxiangting will not forgive him."

Jia Xu was also quite embarrassed, "In my opinion, the lord will still see this person and make a decision!"

"Well, then bring him here."

"No, lord, you'd better...go in person."

Dong Qi didn't understand what Jia Xu meant, but since he said that, he had to agree. To be honest, Dong Qi was quite tired of dealing with these famous scholars. Cai Yong and the others were fine, this party member... was like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard.

Zang Hong was detained in the backyard of the government office, and Cheng Li led people to take care of him.

When Dong Qi saw him, Zang Hong was drinking, looking free and at ease, without any fear.

Zang Hong was about thirty years old, and he looked a little older than Yuan Shao. He was gentle and weak, not as majestic as Dong Qi had imagined. At least, in Dong Qi's opinion, Zang Hong was not as majestic as Yuan Shao's majestic, but he was a little more kind.

Seeing Dong Qi, Zang Hong smiled and said, "Drinking alone is so boring. The Marquis of Zhu came here and happened to be with him."

Dong Qi couldn't help but be shocked.

Judging from Zang Hong's appearance, he did not have the gritting hatred that many scholars showed, but he was still very intimate.

Dong Qi felt that Zang Hong was the owner of this place.

However, he was shocked, but Dong Qi sat down opposite Zang Hong without any expression on his face.

"Zhang Hou, please drink this cup full."

Dong Qi raised his glass and drank it all. He didn't say anything, but just looked at Zang Hong curiously and suddenly said, "Does the scholars I have seen hate me completely and even disdain to work with me in the same table? Why does the Duke have such an attitude?"

Zang Hong smiled, "I have no grudges with Zhuo Hou. On the contrary, I have heard of Zhuo Hou's name. I think it was a pleasure to burn Panlong Valley with Guangling. When I learned about this, Zhuo Hou had already fled far away. I deeply felt sorry for Mr. Fei Bai's praise. When I saw him today, he was indeed mighty and worthy of being a general of tigers and wolves."

As he spoke, Zang Hong filled Dong Qi with a cup of wine.

"Zhou Hou must be surprised. Since there is no grievance or grudge, why should I go against you?"

Dong Qi nodded, "I'm just about to ask for advice."

"Your Majesty is a brave warrior, and I am a weak scholar in this article. When it comes to fighting in the battlefield, you should be the ruler of the marquis. But if you want to rule the world, the warriors must not be in power. When Emperor Gaozu was at that time, Lu Jia talked about the poem and the book of books. Emperor Gaozu said: I rely on the strength and courage of the world. What does it have to do with the poem and the book of battle immediately? Lu Jia replied: I would rather be able to manage immediately? The differences between the martial artist and the scholar have been concluded since then, and the grudges and entanglements have been in conflict for four hundred years."

Dong Qi nodded, "I know a little about this. But my father has always been committed to the cooperation between martial artists and scholars, why..."

Zang Hong laughed and said, "That can only be said that Dongliangzhou is too naive. Since ancient times, scholars and martial artists have not been in harmony. The differences have lasted for four hundred years. Who is the Lord of the Lord? He wants to eliminate the differences? It is really overestimating his abilities and absurd... I respect the Lord of the Marquis, and I am loyal to the Lord of the Kingdom; but I am the Lord of the Covenant because of each other's political views. In private, I can be friends with Dongliangzhou, and in public, I swear to kill the Lord of the Lord of the Lord."

In a word, Dong Qi had nothing to say.

It sounds very reasonable, but for some reason, I always feel weird.

In this world, is it really impossible for martial artists and scholars to cooperate? The benefits of martial artists are the uses of martial artists. Why can't the two cooperate? Why do they fight each other but give outsiders a benefit in vain?

Dong Qi really couldn't figure this problem out.

Zang Hong said: "Zhehou, let me explain it clearly. The scholars and the military man are not without cooperation. However, this kind of cooperation must be based on the relationship between the master and the slave. That is, who is the main and who is the auxiliary. Different political views are different. It is impossible for the scholars to focus on martial arts, but sometimes martial people can rely on the military man to achieve their goals. The battle between us is the battle between the master and the servant."

Dong Qi was silent for a long time and suddenly said, "To put it bluntly, isn't it just who is in power? It's not a dispute over power."

Zang Hong was stunned, "It's okay for Mr. Zhu to say this."

Dong Qi drank the wine in the glass and stood up and said, "So, I want to persuade the surrender, but the emperor will not follow each other?"

"The way is different, and we don't plan for each other."

"I see!"

Dong Qi sighed and turned around and wanted to leave.

Zang Hong said: "Zhu Hou, I have a heartless request, and I hope Zhu Hou will fulfill his wish."

"But it's okay."

"Although I rebelled against Dongliangzhou, my family is not guilty. After I die, I will ask the Marquis to take care of him."

Sometimes, the emotions between people are very wonderful. Especially after living in this era for a long time, Dong Qi almost forgot that his soul belongs to the future. We can attack each other and kill each other, but we cannot lose our admiration because of this.

The ancients often asked the enemy to take care of their families during the killing.

As the enemy, it often agrees to such a request, which has to be said to be a very strange thing.

A confidant may appear inadvertently.

Dong Qi stopped and turned his head to look at Zang Hong strangely.

"You won't die!"

Zang Hong was stunned, "What does Zhaihou mean?"

"I said you won't die, you will definitely not die unless you live until you are 70 years old and 80 years old, naturally die of old age and illness... I will imprison you and let you know that in fact, there are many things to grasp in addition to power. Ziyuan Gong, don't die. If I know that you are seeking death, then I will kill your whole family and implicate your nine tribes. Do you understand?"

Zang Hong looked at Dong Qi in shock, not understanding what he meant.

"Sir is a heroic man, and he is a bad omen. I don't want to be criticized by thousands of people, so sir, you'd better live a hundred years old. Tomorrow I will order someone to send you to a place where you can walk around, but in this life, I will never want to go back to the Central Plains. I will also send someone to send you there. When can you come up with a way to cooperate with scholars and warriors equally, and when will I let you back? Otherwise, your descendants will stay there."

Ignoring the stunned Zang Hong, Dong Qi left!

If you want to die, don't think about it...

I won’t kill you, and I won’t let you go. I will let you stay outside the border and find a way for me, otherwise you will become a person who is transformed from the outside.

There is no way Dong Chu can do this trick.

If you kill Zang Hong, will it be possible for the people of the world to blame him?

When he returned to the study, Dong Qi immediately asked someone to find Jia Xu.

"Teacher, I want to ask you to escort Zang Hong to Zhangye on my behalf and tell Huang Shao, Chen Dao, to show me this person to death, and not to take care of him without shortage of food and clothing. Give him whatever he wants. Without my orders, no one can contact him, and even Master Lu cannot... In short, if he shows him to death, he cannot let him return to the Central Plains."

Jia Xu nodded, "That's right."

He pondered for a moment, "But lord, Zang Hong and others are easy to deal with, what should others do?"

"This is escorted to Luoyang and my father will deal with it."

"Where are those coalition prisoners? More than 50,000 people not only consume a lot of our food and grass, but also pose a threat to us."

Dong Qi frowned, "In the opinion of the teacher?"

"I have two methods for the lord to choose."

Dong Qi nodded and said, "Please give me advice from the teacher."

"The first method is very simple. I will order people to dig a deep pit on the banks of the Sishui River tomorrow and deal with these people on the spot."

Kill prisoners?

This method is indeed very simple.

Moreover, in this era, killing prisoners is not a great thing. Success and defeat of the enemy, and since ancient times, one general succeeds and thousands of bones are woven!

But Dong felt that it was inappropriate.

On the battlefield, we hold weapons in our hands and can each serve our own masters. We will kill like wild beasts, which is a battle for survival.

But on the battlefield, the opponent is unarmed...

Dong Qi really couldn't bear to kill these people. Too many people died in this battle, so they shouldn't have any more blood.
To be continued...
