The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms Chapter 162

When the army was discussing how to deal with the prisoners the next day, Xun Zhen had a second chance. www. dyzww. web m '.

Although most of the Yellow Turban soldiers preferred to die rather than surrender, tens of thousands of them killed themselves or threw themselves into the river. Including those killed in battle, at least 70,000 or 80,000 died, but there were still many prisoners, about 20,000 to 30,000. These two or 30,000 people are young and strong, some are old and weak, some are women and children, and how to deal with them is a question.

Some people suggested that they just slaughtered and built a Jingguan to show the next Quyang. This is the end of not surrendering to the city. Some people objected, thinking it was too cruel. There were Zongyuan, Niu Fu, Hu Zhen and others who suggested slaughtering the prisoners, and Fu Xie, Duan Xun and others who opposed it.

Huangfu Song sat in the chairman's seat and listened to the dispute between the two factions, but only caressed his beard and said nothing.

Xun Zhen said in his heart, "Yingchuan and Runan killed two prisoners. At that time, because Jizhou had not yet come down, the yellow scarves were in full swing, so the killing of prisoners might be a last resort. Now Guangzong has been defeated, and Zhang Jiao has If we die, Nanyang will also be pacified, and only Xia Quyang will survive, and if we slaughter the prisoners again, it will be unreasonable." The tragic scene of thousands of Yellow Turban Taoists throwing themselves into the river on the day when Guangzong City was destroyed flashed in his mind. , decided to persuade Huangfu Song not to slaughter any more prisoners.

He was about to speak when he heard Niu Fu shouting loudly, saying, "These prisoners are all thieves! On the day when Guangzong City was destroyed, tens of thousands of thieves would rather die in the river than surrender to me, which shows that they are determined to obey. Yes. If this stubborn thief stays, he will become a calamity again sooner or later. Why don't you count them all!"

Zongyuan, Hu Zhen and others agreed. The clan member said: "What Niujun said is very true! General, these stubborn thieves have to stay behind to provide them with food and clothing, and they have to settle them. Not only is it troublesome, but it will cause trouble later. Simply kill them!"

Although Duan Xun is a martial artist now, the Duan clan is a famous martial artist. He read books and learned Confucian classics when he was young. Among the Xiliang warriors, he can be said to be the least murderous and most compassionate to the people. He usually seldom argues with colleagues such as Hu Zhen and Niu Fu, but this time he firmly opposed it.

He turned his head to face Huangfu Song, and said earnestly: "General, all the stubborn thieves and bandits have already threw themselves into the river to die. Most of those who did not commit suicide by throwing themselves into the river were the common people who were trapped by the bandit soldiers. It? God has the virtue of good life, the general must be kind, and he should not be slaughtered lightly.

Huangfu Song nodded slightly and turned to Xun Zhen: "Zhenzhi, what do you think?"

Xun Zhen of course supported Duan Xun's opinion, he said: "Most of the Yellow Turbans have been levelled today, Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang are dead, and the only ones left are Quyang and Zhang Bao. Thieves will fear death, fear death will fight to the death, and the city will be difficult to conquer, it is better to release the surrender and Fucheng.

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that Xu Rong had never expressed his opinion, and said to himself: "Miaozai, this is yet another opportunity to alienate Xu Rong, Dong and Niu Fu." He turned to Xu Rong with a smile and said, " Xu Jun, the hero of Xizhou, ranks first in your ministry in attacking thieves and sieges for days, why is he silent and refuses to share your opinion?

Xu Rong is inexplicable. Yesterday, he felt strange to be touted by Xun Zhen for no reason. Today, he is touted by Xun Zhen again. No. 1, this is too high, and the meaning of looking down on him is too obvious. Although he didn't know why Xun Zhen was doing this, he felt it was strange, and turned his face to look at Dong, Niu Fu and the others. Niu Fu was not happy for Xun Zhen to say that Xu Ronggong was the No. 1 in the iron cavalry of Xiliang, but at this time in the tent, he couldn't argue with Xun Zhen in front of Huangfu Song, he couldn't argue, he was dissatisfied in his chest, and all of them had a dark face. .

Xu Rong said uneasily: "Rong is a rude person, and he doesn't dare to talk nonsense. Let's ask Dong Jun and Niu Jun to talk about it."

Niu Fu snorted and said, "I'm also a rough man!"

Dong said: "Duan Gong and Xun Sima said very much, and I think it should be done."

Fu Xie didn't know Xun Zhen's careful thoughts. Although he was strong in character, he was also a lover of the people, and he also expressed his support for Duan Xun and Xun Zhen's opinions. Huangfu Song followed suit.

After the military meeting was over, he left the tent. Xun Zhen specially waited outside the tent for a while. Xu Rong, Dong, Niu Fu, and Hu Zhen, who were waiting, came out. He smiled and said to Xu Rong: "The day before yesterday, I attacked the thief and watched it on the battlefield. Arriving at Jun Heng the spear, prancing horse, leading the troops to attack, and invincible demeanor, let Zhen very overwhelmed, just because I didn't know you before, so I didn't dare to take the liberty to invite you. Now that the war in Guangzong has ended, Zhen invited three Five relatives and friends, tonight there will be a banquet in the chastity tent, if you don't give up, please come to the banquet."

Xu Rong was stunned for a while, and said to himself: "Dong and Niu Fu are either relatives of Duke Dong or Lord Liangzhou, but this Xun Sima did not invite him, but only invited me. This..." Everyone is good. The heart of the name was so highly valued by Xun Zhen that he invited him to the banquet in person. Although Xu Rong felt strange, he was happy in his heart. Seeing Dong, Niu Fu and others walking forward with a cold face, he hesitated for a moment. , and thought to himself, "I am not a native of Liangzhou, but I was used by Duke Dong, and I was rejected by Duke Dong's army. Although Xun Sima treated me well, I cannot go to this banquet." He refused to go, and hurriedly chased after Dong, Niu Fu and others.

Xun Zhen stood outside the tent, watching his back as he left, and stroked his mustache with a smile.

Fu Xie saw the scene where he invited Xu Rong, approached him, and said dissatisfiedly, "Dong and Niu were arrogant and arrogant, but now they are more arrogant and arrogant. I heard that yesterday Li and Guo Si were almost arrogant. You meet with the army of the king, Sima, why do you invite Xu Rong?" Tonight Xun Zhen held a banquet, and the people invited were Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Fu Xie.

Xun Zhen smiled and said: "Dong Gong's men are like a cloud of warriors..." Turning around, he saw that most of the generals and schools participating in the military conference had not yet left. Deliberately amplifying his voice, he asked Fu Xie, "However, from the perspective of Sima, who is the bravest, most knowledgeable and good at fighting?"

Although Fu Xie was not used to the rudeness and domineering of Dong, Niu Fu, etc., but his nature was upright, he also admitted that Dong, Niu and others were indeed brave, and most of them were warriors. Wrong, after hearing Xun Zhen's question, he thought for a while, and replied: "The ox is complemented by a fierce predator and is loved by Duke Dong. He has a wife, Duke Dong's daughter, and is the son-in-law of Duke Dong. It can be said that he is a warrior."

"Niu Jun worked hard and was a heroic warrior, but unfortunately he is a leftist, and it seems that he cannot be regarded as a knowledgeable soldier."

"Hu Zhen is the master of Liangzhou, and he can be said to be a knowledgeable soldier."

"Hu Jun pushes Enbuxin, and he can gain the strength of the soldiers. Although he knows the soldiers, he does not seem to be a fierce soldier."

"So, who does Sima think are the bravest and most knowledgeable soldiers under Duke Dong's account?"

Xun Zhen looked at Xu Rong's retreating back and smiled without saying a word.

The conversation between the two was heard by many people, and it didn't take long for it to spread throughout the army.

Someone went to tell Huangfu Song. After Huangfu Song heard it, he laughed and said, "Zhenzhi is brave and brave, but he is a son of a famous clan and has a habit of criticizing characters." Fame in the world is the ethos of the nobility. Xun Zhen is a son of the Xun clan, so Huangfu Song said this. Huangfu Song had no doubts about Xun Zhen deliberately raising Xu Rong and belittling Niu Fu and Hu Zhen. He was not suspicious, but Niu Fu, Hu Zhen and others were furious about it. Later, rumors in the army said that Niu Fu had swung his sword in the tent and cut down several cases, and yelled at Xun Zhen, saying that Xun Zhen was a "neijun child". Who qualifies to "comment Xizhou heroes"?

Liu Deng, Dian Wei, etc. heard Niu Fu's scolding, and they were all angry. Liu and Dian each came to Xun Zhen with weapons, trying to find trouble with Niu Fu, but Xun Zhen was not angry at all, instead, he was angry. Laughing, ordering Liu, Dian and others: "Don't go out to the camp to find trouble! Let him scold." And ordered, "If you encounter Xu Rong in the future, you must greet him with a smile." Liu Deng was so angry that he said loudly: "When Shuzi insults Sima like this, I still want to greet him with a smile? Xun Jun, I can't do it!" Xun Zhen smiled and said, "To Niu and Hu people, you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't do it. But, to Xu Rong, you must be polite and respectful!" Xun Zhen's military discipline was strict, and although Liu Deng couldn't understand it, he had to obey this military order.

Xun Zhenying is not far from Dong and Niu Fuying. Usually when people go out to the camp, it is inevitable that they will meet each other. All respectful.

Xun Zhen was Huangfu Song's favorite general, and he had great military exploits. Even Zhang Jiao was captured by his subordinate Xin Ai. He was only a Qianshi other minister, but he was very influential in the Han barracks. The fact that he looked up to Xu Rong, looked down on Niu Fu, Hu Zhen and others even spread to Huangfu Song's ears, so it can be seen that this will make him look up to Xu Rong. How angry Niu Fu, Hu Zhen and others were. If only Xun Zhen looked down on them, it would be fine. Now even Liu Deng and Dian Wei look down on them. Niu Fu, Hu Zhen, etc. are getting more and more angry. It's just that in terms of status, their official position is not as high as that of Xun Zhen. As for the use of force, Xun Zhen had many warriors under his command, and they were not sure. This bad breath could not be spread on Xun Zhen's body, so they could not help but anger Xu Rong.

Poor Xu Rong was innocently affected by this unwarranted disaster, and was run on many times by Niu Fu, Hu Zhen, etc. He was angry but helpless. Xun Zhen also brought out the means to win over Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei at the right time, and from time to time he was given some treasured swords, armors, and treasures to play with. In all these ways, on the one hand, there are colleagues who ostracize him and embarrass him, and on the other hand, Xun Zhen, who loves and respects him. Although Xu Rong was not ready to transfer to Xun Zhen's command immediately, he gradually began to get along with Xun Zhen unconsciously. get closer.

Huangfu Song was stationed outside the city of Guangzong for ten days. After the rest of the ministries were completed, they set off one by one and went to Xia Quyang.
