Battle for hegemony at the end of the Qin Dynasty in the military god system

Chapter 128 Persuading Surrender (2)

The captured soldiers of Lu Jun and Dong Jun were held in the depths of the barracks, and the battalions sent people to take turns to guard them.It can be said that the defense is deep, but the mentality of these captured soldiers is very good. The other party did not deduct their rations, and did not ask them to perform corvee, so most of them have the mentality of taking what comes and going.

When Sha Pojun and Kuai Jiang came to the captive camp, they found that they had such a mental outlook, so they smiled, and said to Kuai Jiang in a low voice: "Military division, do you think these soldiers can be used?"

"It's unusable, but it's still possible to gather the number of people and fight the wind."

"What we are about to face is an army of [-]. It can be said to be a bitter battle. Will these people disturb our morale when they go to the battlefield?" Sha Pojun still had some doubts. After all, the mentality of these captured soldiers was a bit weird. Some people even played the game of cuju, and their hearts were really big.

"My lord, if we want to defend the city now, we will suffer heavy losses based on our current strength. If we join their new force, our situation will be much better." Kuai Jiang explained patiently, he still wanted to withdraw first Going out of Juye, he will not confront Li Ji's [-] Qin army, but the lord thinks it is possible to fight, and he has no choice but to help the lord win the battle as much as possible.

Sha Pojun nodded, he also knew that with these unreliable soldiers joining in this battle, the possibility of defending the city was much greater.So he smiled and replied: "Military division, let us persuade this group of fresh troops."

Entering the camp where they were detained, some soldiers were playing Cuju, and many other soldiers were watching. Some were cheering, some were applauding, and some were dancing and shouting, just like the fans of later generations.Sha Pojun smiled and ordered the general guarding the place. Guan Ying happened to be in charge of guarding these soldiers today.

"Gather these captives together, I have something to say."

"No!" Guan Ying clapped his hands back.He called the brothers of Zhanlongying to gather these disobedient prisoners.

Sha Pojun stood on the high platform and shouted loudly: "Everyone, you are very happy playing in my territory! It seems that I am still too merciful."

The assembled captured soldiers were frightened by Sha Pojun's slightly murderous words, but after thinking about it carefully, they really did go too far, and they didn't have the consciousness that a prisoner should have at all.

Sha Pojun smiled and said, "Do you know what I am here for?"

The soldiers of Lu County and Dong County shook their heads, but some of them already showed fear on their faces, fearing that Sha Pojun would kill them in a fit of anger.I had heard before that the rebels had the habit of executing prisoners they captured. After being captured, they found that the other party did not do anything to them, so they thought it was okay. Now that they heard that the person in charge seemed to be planning to take action, they suddenly became nervous.

Sha Pojun went on to say: "You also know about our relationship with Qin, which is endless. You are the Qin army and our enemy, and now you are captured by us again. Do you know what will happen to you? "

The captured soldiers finally understood that they might be executed by the other party. Someone shouted sharply: "Since ancient times, it has been ominous to kill prisoners. The general will go this old way and ruin his future!"

Hearing the shouting, Sha Pojun immediately became interested. It seems that there are still talented people here, so he said with a smile: "If you don't kill you, do you want to let you go? Let you go back and fight against us again? If you can prove Myself, gain our trust, I can let you go."

Sha Pojun looked at the excited captured soldiers, and then said fiercely: "But I don't believe that you can do it, unless you kill the Qin army with your own hands."

Someone in the crowd shouted again: "General, this is a difficult situation for the strong. We are only prisoners now, we have no weapons, and we have never met the Qin army. How can we prove ourselves by killing them?"

Sha Pojun laughed, this is what he wanted, and then said: "There are opportunities. In a few days, the remaining Qin army will kill Juye, and we will send you to the city wall to help defend. At that time, you will prove yourself Time. If anyone dares to escape or do things that disturb the morale of the army, they will be punished on the spot. After the war, your military achievements will also be recorded, and I will order the warlords to treat them equally. At that time, if you want to leave, I will give You are a little entangled, let you leave, but before you leave, you must swear that you will never fight against us. Those who don’t want to leave, I will promote them according to their military merits, and I will not show favoritism.”

A wise soldier shouted: "General, you still want us to die. We have fought against the Qin army. There is no way for us to turn back."

The captured sergeant, who had thought Sha Pojun's words full of temptation just now, heard someone in the crowd explain the consequences of resisting the tyranny, and immediately broke out in cold sweat, almost following in the footsteps of the rebels.They all shouted, if this is the case, it would be better to die, and get a good name.

Sha Pojun looked at the messy captives, and some even wanted to fight the guards with swords.Sha Pojun sneered and said: "A group of people who don't know how to live and die, I lead you with benevolence and righteousness, but you have a vicious heart, do you really think we dare not kill people?" So he ordered the guards to kill hundreds of captives in the riot on the spot.

For a while, blood was splashed everywhere, and all the soldiers were frightened, and they hid in the middle one after another.

Kuai Jiang, who was standing beside Sha Pojun, said in a low voice: "The killing of the captives is ominous and true, but letting the tiger go back to the mountain is even worse. My lord will make a decision in the morning."

"How do you feel now? Are you aware of your situation? Remember that it is my benevolence to give you a way out, and it is only right to execute you, because you are our enemies, and we will not be relatives." It's a quick thing for those who hate the enemy." Sha Pojun angrily yelled at the trembling prisoners.

At this time, words of inciting rebellion came out from the crowd again: "Why pretend to be benevolent and righteous? After the confrontation with the Qin army, the family will definitely be harmed. Now that we die here, we are just one of us, pretending to surrender It's disgusting."

Sha Pojun was furious, and ordered the person who spoke to be shot. Sun Xi took the order, piercing the opponent's throat with an arrow, and the opponent fell to the ground in disbelief.

When things got to this point, Sha Pojun didn't bother with these captives, and said loudly: "Those of you who are willing to surrender, I can recruit you, and after the war is over, I can also give you a lot of money. Those who are willing to surrender, then there is no point in living, and the food and grass of our army are wasted, and the outcome is clear to you.”

Sha Pojun glared at these prisoners, none of the prisoners dared to look Sha Pojun in the eyes, and they all expressed their willingness to accept the rebel army's recruitment.

Sha Po's military system has checked the loyalty of these new recruits, and found that they basically have no loyalty at all. As long as they encounter battles, desertion is inevitable, so he reprimanded loudly: "Since you have become my soldiers, you should pay attention to them if you are treated." On the one hand, I won’t skimp on it, but if my warlord finds someone on the battlefield who is passive and slack, flees the battle, and bewitches the morale of the army, he will definitely kill them. I don’t want everyone to be unhappy when the trouble comes.”

Everyone responded: "What the general said is true, we will definitely not do such things that have no military morals."

Sha Pojun nodded, and ordered the battalion commanders to collect these soldiers in batches and keep them under strict supervision.

After something happened here, Sha Pojun returned to the camp with Kuai Jiang and others to discuss the next strategy for facing the [-] Qin army.
