Chapter 15 Disposal of Captives

Seeing that Liu Bin and Cao Cao were leaving, Huangpu Hao said, "It's good that way, you can kill the thief when you go elsewhere. But I still have a doubt now, I don't know if you can give me a solution."

Liu Bin and Cao Cao said together: "We will definitely follow the general's extraordinary theory of optimizing the extraordinary."

Huangpu Hao smiled bitterly and said, "It's not for those prisoners. I'm going to kill them all now, but now the army is about to set off, so I'm afraid there's no time."

When Liu Bin heard this, he was shocked. How could this happen? Those people have surrendered, why did they kill them again? These people are those who have already booked, and they still want them to supplement the shortage of Youzhou. So Liu Bin quickly said, "General, what do you mean by this? Haven't they all surrendered? Why are they going to kill them again now? Isn't this a bit inappropriate? After all, we represent the court. If we don't believe in the court, then people will not be able to believe in the court in the future."

Huangpu Hao shook his head after hearing the trend and said, "The words of the Champion Hou are a bit of a woman's kindness. Those people surrendered at the end of their own way out, not too early to surrender. Moreover, they were rebelling, and if we kill them, the people in the world would not say anything."

Even Cao Cao nodded repeatedly after hearing this. He also thought that killing these people was no big deal. Anyway, they were all rebels, and some people would stand up for them. He also felt that Liu Bin was a bit kind. His evaluation of Liu Bin could not help but lower his opinion. Liu Bin couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could he forget that when ancient people were fine, they liked to kill people and killed prisoners. In ancient times, there were more things to do. As for Cao Cao's opinion, Liu Bin ignored it directly. Cao Cao was a ruthless man, who could make human flesh feel fleshy, and he also broke into a lieutenant to rob the tomb. His thoughts were simply unable to communicate with him.

However, Liu Bin still tried his best to stop Huangpu Hao's actions, so he said, "The general is wrong. These people are all the people of our Han Dynasty. They followed Zhang Jiao and others to rebel, and they were forced to helplessly. As the saying goes, one family will die, a hundred households will hear it; a hundred households will suffer, and thousands of households will know it. After all, there are 100,000 prisoners, and they will be killed all at once, but it will shock the world. Who can still believe in the court in the future? Isn't that shake the foundation of our Han Dynasty's rule? This is the first reason, and the second reason is that killing prisoners is ominous. Since ancient times, few people who slaughter prisoners have ended up killing. Bai Qi killed 400,000 troops of Zhao State in the Battle of Changping, and ended up being killed by the king. King Xiang Yu of Chu killed 200,000 troops of Qin State in the Battle of Julu.

As a result, the end of committing suicide in Wujiang. General, these are all lessons from the past. The third is that although the Yellow Turban thieves are no longer as good as before, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops. If the general kills these people now, the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops will definitely become mortal enemies with the court. In the future, the imperial army will have to spend more casualties to pacify those rebels. So why bother? It is better not to kill them, so that the people of the world can trust the court when they see the court's words and trust the court more. It can also undermine the mentality of those who beat the thieves and let them know that if they surrender, the court can live without retribution, so that the court will quell the rebellion much easier. And the general's reputation will also be circulated all over the world. I hope the general can think about it carefully."

After hearing what Liu Bin said, Huangpu Hao and Cao Cao's eyes were straight. Liu Bin is too irritating. From this small matter, he can actually shake the whole world. Take this high hat with him. How could Huangpu Hao give orders to kill the prisoners? Liu Bin is worthy of learning from a generation of master Zheng Xuan. Such eloquence is really amazing. Huangpu Hao and Cao Cao have changed their views on Liu Bin again. It seems that Liu Bin is indeed a versatile talent in civil and military affairs. And he also has the world in mind, which is really rare. No wonder he can be named a marquis and general at a young age. He is indeed capable. Huangpu Hao wiped the cold sweat on his eyebrows without realization, which is a bit embarrassing.

"I am really ashamed of saying this. Now it seems that I shouldn't have killed these people. But what should I do if I don't kill these people? I'm not hiding them, I came up with this idea in a helpless way. The court is financially in financial difficulties, insufficient food and grass, and the world is in chaos and inconvenient to transport food and grass, and the food and grass in the army are really insufficient to eat with so many people. Besides, the army is about to set out, and I'm going to take so many prisoners with me, and I don't think about it. If they rebel when we are still early, I'm going to rebel again when we are fighting against the enemy, wouldn't that be worse? What should we do now? I hope the horse can give me some advice."

When Liu Bin heard this, he couldn't help laughing. I'm afraid this is the real reason. But this is not a problem. Since Huangpu Hayao has no food, he can hand over these people to himself. He doesn't lack food. Moreover, he has wanted these people for a long time. But he can't just ask these people to come over, which makes people doubt his purpose. It seems that he has to make some blood on his own. But it doesn't matter. The problem that can be solved for money is not a problem for Liu Bin. So Liu Bin said: "Haha. This is not a problem. Although the court is financially in trouble now, it's not

How much food is there, but those aristocratic families have. Moreover, after this turmoil, those aristocratic families also lost a lot of labor. We might as well sell these prisoners to those aristocratic families as hard work. In this way, it can not only solve the general's troubles, but also alleviate the financial difficulties of the imperial court, and also supplement the labor shortage of those aristocratic families. At the same time, it can also leave a way for these prisoners to be grateful to the general, and win multiple goals in one fell swoop. It will benefit the court, the general, the aristocratic families, and the whole world. I wonder what the general wants?"

When Huangpu Hao heard this, he couldn't help but nodded. This method can indeed solve many problems. Why didn't he remember it? But it was right to think about it. Has he done business before, how could he remember that these prisoners could also be sold for money. The reason why Liu Bin thought of this idea was because he was a businessman himself, and he was the largest merchant in the country. The liquor and glass products he sold were sold well across the country and even overseas. When he thought of this idea, he just replaced the liquor and glass products with these prisoners. Although scholars did not like merchants very much and thought they were inferior people, this method could indeed solve his troubles, so he agreed.

When Liu Bin saw Huangpu Hao agree, he said, "To show sincerity, I am willing to buy all these prisoners at a price of one thousand yuan per captive. I don't know what the general wants? I'm not to hide it from the general, am I in Youzhou, I sold a lot of land, and no one has cultivated it yet. Buying these slaves will make me less worried."

It was only Liu Bin's method to sell these prisoners as slaves. He bought these prisoners with the goal. However, in order to avoid Huang Pu Hao's suspicion of his motive for buying so many slaves, Liu Bin explained. One thousand coins per person, one hundred thousand people, one hundred million coins, which was converted into gold, and only ten thousand coins. This money was only his investment in selling alcohol for half a month, and it was not harmful at all.

Hearing Liu Bin say this, Huangpu Hao also dispelled the reason why Liu Bin bought so many prisoners at once. He thought that the reason why Liu Bin bought so many people might be for someone to farm for him. These slaves were much better than asking some servants to come back, so he quickly said, "No. The reason why we can capture so many people is entirely based on the clerk's trick of the champion's marquis, how could the champion's marquis pay for it? Why would that champion's marquis pay for it? It's better to do this. According to the rules of the court, these people are already trophy and the generals have the power.

We will deal with it ourselves, just divide the prisoners. If the remaining people are to buy the championship, please ask the person involved. I wonder what the champion Hou is thinking?" Huangpu Hao is also a smart person. Liu Bin has a bright future and has helped him so much. How can he let him pay for these prisoners alone? It would be better to take the opportunity to make friends with Liu Bin and give Liu Bin a good relationship. That's why he said this method and divide the prisoners, so that he can save a lot of money for Liu Bin.
