Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 367 I am a Han general
Everything, after dawn, when the first ray of sunlight hit Lei Bo's camp, it was all over.

Including those raging fires, after being quarantined and burning down a few tents, they were also extinguished.

Zhao Qian looked at Lei Bo and asked again: "Lei Bo, are you convinced?"

Lei Bo let out a long sigh, and said dejectedly, "Why didn't the general kill me?"

At the end of this battle, Lei Bo felt helpless and ashamed. His 5000 army was defeated by Zhao Qian's [-] men with ease.

Moreover, less than 1000 of his [-] troops died in battle, and most of them surrendered!

This is simply using his own incompetence to very favorably set off Zhao Qian's ability to command the army.

"Killing me won't do me any good." Zhao Qian said boldly, looking down at Lei Bo.

In Yuan Shu's camp, apart from the dead Zhang Xun and Ji Ling, this Lei Bo can be considered the No. [-] grand prize. However, if it comes to Zhao Qian.

Not to mention Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, even Gao Shun and Zang Ba are much stronger than Lei Bo. As far as his ability is concerned, being able to be a lieutenant general in Zhao Qian's place is already a compliment.

Therefore, even though Yuan Shu was sitting in Huaiyang and had many soldiers under him, he had no outstanding generals, not to mention Zhao Qian, and even Zhao Qian's generals did not take Yuan Shu seriously.

After taking Lei Bo down, Zhao Qian had sent an order back to Ruyang camp, ordering Xu Chu to bring people to receive the prisoners.

In this battle, under Zhao Qian's planning, the two sides, which were originally disparate in strength, reversed the outcome because of the night attack plan.

Of the 1000 Huaiyang troops, less than [-] died in the battle, and the rest surrendered one after another, without even escaping.

It seems that not only the chief general is not as good as Zhao Qian's generals, but even the Huaiyang sergeant is not as good as Zhao Qian's army by more than a little bit.

After counting the battlefield, Ma Chao went to Zhao Qian's side and said, "My lord, there are too many prisoners here, how about?"

Ma Chao made a gesture of wiping his neck, which meant to kill these prisoners.

Killing prisoners has always been an inhumane act on the battlefield, and it is very likely that when you return from the battle, you will be criticized by everyone.

At that time, Bai Qi of Qin State killed 40 surrendered soldiers of Zhao State, which really laid an important foundation for Qin State to destroy Zhao State. However, Bai Qi was killed because of this.

In addition, when there are too many prisoners, the consumption of food is a very big problem. Before the battle is over, if the food is eaten by the prisoners first, it will be a big joke.

Another point is that there are too many prisoners, and management is also a problem. The nearly [-] prisoners have too many guards, and the rest of the battle cannot be fought; there are fewer watchers, and if there is a mutiny, it will be enough.

Although Zhao Qian was mostly captured by the Yellow Turban Army back then, the two are completely different situations.

The Yellow Turban Army back then was a mob, and they couldn't even get food. They didn't want to eat anything else if they followed Zhao Qian.

But these Huaiyang sergeants are different. Many of them have already married and established businesses, and their families are in Huaiyang. At this time, they were forced to surrender to Zhao Qian. A bomb was planted in the ranks.

Therefore, there is another reason for not killing Lei Bo, which is to keep these Huaiyang soldiers alive, otherwise, when people are desperate, they can do anything.

Ma Chao's suggestion is simple and rude. Although it will definitely leave a bad reputation, it will be done once and for all, and it can save a lot of manpower and material resources.

But Zhao Qian refused without hesitation. It's not that Zhao Qian was soft-hearted, it's just that these are the subjects of the big Han, and they are all Han sergeants.

If it was a battle on the battlefield, Zhao Qian would naturally be merciless, but at this time they had already disarmed, how could they kill again, he was neither an executioner nor a butcher.

"Meng Qi, I follow the order of the emperor to be a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. If I surrender to dissenting ministers and crusade against traitors, can I kill them in vain? They are also the people of the big man, but they were deceived by Yuan Shu. Now that you surrender to this general, you should correct them. A chance to renew." Zhao Qian said loudly.

Those soldiers heard these words clearly, and they were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat. They didn't expect their lives to turn around like this.

"Thank you, General, for not killing me. We will serve you to the death!"

"Willing to go through fire and water for the general!"

"Be willing to be a great general, and let him drive!"

Huaiyang's soldiers immediately knelt down in a large area, and those behind them also knelt down, expressing their loyalty and shouting slogans.

Zhao Qian had seen big scenes, so he naturally didn't believe in the slogans and loyalty shown by these surrendered soldiers, but he still had to do what he should do.

"As long as you sincerely surrender, this general will come to the emperor to plead for your life and save you from your crimes!" Zhao Qian said loudly.

"Thank you, General!" All the Huaiyang troops bowed in unison.

Zhao Qian thought for a while, then walked up to Lei Bo, who was tied up with five flowers, and asked, "This general asks you, are you the son of heaven, a general of the Han Dynasty, or a general of Yuan Shu's family?"

Lei Bo was stunned for a moment, and instinctively wanted to say that he was Yuan Shu's general, but after thinking about it, if he said that, he would have to die.

Lei Bo then thought that when Yuan Shu named himself a general, he had also presented himself to the court, so of course he was a general of the Han Dynasty.

"I am a Han general!" Lei Bo said hastily after he figured it out.
