Chapter 23 Get the jade seal in Nanye well Lv Bu rebelled and got the red rabbit (11
As soon as Zhao Yun dodged his body, he saw a dark thing flying over his side. He looked back and saw that Dian Wei was giggling behind him. Then I heard a scream of "ah~" in front of me. When Zhao Yun looked forward again, Wang Fang had fallen from the horse, with a small halberd inserted in his back, which was obviously not alive.
It turned out that Dian Wei saw that he could not catch up with Zhao Yun, so he directly used the unique skill of flying halberd. His halberd went towards Wang Fang, but not against Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun's young man took care of the overall situation, but he did not have the heart to compete with Dian Wei. Seeing that Wang Fang was dead, he went to chase Duan Bhen and Hu Cheer, but the two of them were about to run back to the battle with Wang Fang's delay.
Dian Wei and Zhao Yun joined hands to kill Zhang Xiu and the five generals. Lv Bu, Hua Xiong and others also won or lost, or Hua Xiong and others fled one after another when they saw that the general trend had gone.
Lv Bu's ** horse is not a red rabbit at this time, and he really can't catch up with five people for a while. Lv Bu was anxious and saw the king over there at a glance. This woke up to Lv Bu. He hung the Fang Tianhua halberd on the horse and picked up the flying bow. Then he opened the bow with an arrow in one go, and it was an arrow without aiming at the front.
It was also bad luck to run at the end of the five people and was hit by Lv Bu's right shoulder with an arrow. If it hadn't been for the armor and shoulder blades, Lv Bu's arrow would have shot through Fan Jiu. However, even if he didn't shoot through, Fan Chou didn't feel well. His shoulder shook and cried, "Ah~" and lay on the horse. He couldn't get up anymore and ran back to Dong Zhuo's array with arrows.
Dong Zhuo and Li Ru have been watching the battle. They saw that two of the twelve generals were killed and two were injured, and the rest were all driven back by the other three generals. Looking at the three generals, there were eight generals behind them, and behind the eight generals were thousands of troops and horses led by Nan Ye and Ding Yuan.
Seeing this scene, how dare Dong Zhuo stay in front of the battle? He hurriedly followed the defeated Hua Xiong and others to drill into the battle. Their masters were in a mess, and the Xiliang iron riders behind them were also in a mess. Lv Bu, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun happened to enter the battle. Zhang Liao and Zhou Cang followed, and Ding Yuan and Nan Ye waved their troops to cover up.
At the touch of the two armies, Dong Zhuobing was defeated and walked around the city without even a chance to enter the city. The 3,000 Xiliang iron riders he brought ran fast, but they suffered the 20,000 Luoyang garrisons. These defenders live in Luoyang and have not experienced any major battles. Where can it withstand the battle of Bingzhou wolves under Ding Yuan's command? The cavalry led by Nan Ye and Ding Yuan only rushed for a while, and the two thousand soldiers were all in chaos, trampling on each other and killing countless injuries.
Seeing that these soldiers were vulnerable, Nan Ye advised Ding to chase Dong Zhuo's cavalry and leave the soldiers behind Shi A and Gao Shun to clean up. Ding Yuan thought so and led the army to chase him. Once he chased him, it was more than 30 miles. If Dong Zhuo hadn't forcibly left a thousand Xiliang iron riders for himself, I'm afraid his life would not be saved.
After Ding Yuan led the army to defeat a thousand Xiliang iron riders, he did not see Dong Zhuo, so he led the troops back. By the time of Luoyang City, the 8,000 soldiers led by Shi A and Gao Shun had captured all the 20,000 Luoyang defenders. Only about 1,000 of these defenders died from the cavalry rushing and trampling on each other just now, and the rest were either surrendered or captured.
It is difficult to face nearly 20,000 prisoners. In ancient times, the way to deal with prisoners was either to collect or kill them. How to treat prisoners usually depends on the number of prisoners. If the number of prisoners is less than their own people, they will be collected and more often killed. Whether it was the killing of 400,000 Zhao troops in the Battle of Changping or the battle of Xiang Yu and Julu, 200,000 Qin troops were buried alive, the reason was that too many prisoners were worried about these surrendered soldiers to rebel.
The soldiers of Ding Yuan and Nan Ye are less than 15,000 together. It is quite difficult for Ding Yuan to eat these 20,000 Luoyang defenders. However, if all of them were killed, Ding Yuan felt difficult to do it, so he asked Nan Ye, "What should the mage do with these soldiers?"
Nanye looked down on these Luoyang defenders from the bottom of his heart. These Luoyang soldiers are loose, lack training, and are afraid of death. They are really useless except for the excellent armor and weapons. It is no wonder that He Jin holds heavy soldiers and summons foreign soldiers such as Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan to help in the battle. It is really embarrassing for Luoyang soldiers.
However, these soldiers are useless with a population of 20,000. Even if they fail to fight, they can still farm and work. Labor is a valuable asset at any time. Therefore, Nanye will not do this kind of loss sale of prisoners. In fact, with the strength in the Science City, Nanye can completely collect these 20,000 people. Unfortunately, these 20,000 soldiers were captives of Ding Yuan, and Nan Ye was embarrassed to come here.
After thinking for a moment, Nan Ye said to Ding Yuan, "If Duke Jianyang doesn't know how to deal with them, why not let them make their own choices?"
Ding Yuan and Lv Bu were stunned when they heard the words. Lv Bu asked, "What does the mage mean?" If they still want to follow Dong Zhuo to be our enemies, can't they be released?
Lv Bu's question also represented Ding Yuan and his generals. Nan Ye saw that everyone's eyes turned to him and said slowly: "These Luoyang defenders are all locals, and I don't know how many relatives are in the city. If all of them are killed, the people in the city will think that Jianyang Gong is a cruel man, but they may be loyal to Dong Zhuo, so that we will lose our righteousness. If all of them are forcibly incorporated, they will have relatives in the city, and it is inevitable that they will not be able to fight with Dong Zhuo as much as possible, and there may be a risk of defecting from the battle.
In my opinion, it's better to take their armor and blades, and then let them choose to stay. If there are no relatives in the city, if you are willing to stay and work sincerely for the Duke of Jianyang, you can take him in. If you want to go back to the city, let them go back. It is not easy for these returnees to lose their ordnance and become enemies with us. Even if they come to fight again, they must be grateful that they will not do their best for Dong Zhuo.
Ding Yuan thought carefully and felt that what Nan Ye said was reasonable, so he issued an order to confiscate the armor and weapons of the prisoners. Then he said to 20,000 prisoners: "Dong Zhu, the assassin of Xiliang, was cruel and unkind. He proclaimed himself the third prince, and also falsely said that he abolished the emperor in an attempt to usurp. It is a righteous act for this assassin and Master Mu Guanghua of Jiaozhou to fight against thieves. You don't know whether it is right or wrong to help Zhou to abuse and should have been executed, but the mage and I can't bear it. This time, for the sake of your ignorance, I will wait for your life and give you a chance to choose. If you are loyal and willing to help me and the mage to thieves, stay. If you don't want to stay, go back to the city!"
20,000 soldiers didn't expect that there would be such a good thing. They looked at each other but no one dared to go first for fear of Ding Yuan's fraud. At this time, a soldier hid in the crowd and shouted, "Would Master Guanghua be willing to come out for protection?"
Ding Yuan heard the voice and saw a black head, but he didn't find the shouting person. However, looking at the expressions of those fallen soldiers, he seemed to hope that Nan Ye could come out as a guarantee. Ding Yuan was a little surprised by this situation, but he didn't expect Nan Ye to have such prestige as a Jiaozhou pastor in Luoyang. In desperation, he had to take a step back and surrender Nan Ye to the pawn.
Nan Ye bowed his hand to these soldiers and said, "Don't worry! What Jianyang said is true. I, Nanye, am willing to make a guarantee here. No matter what you choose, Jianyang Gong and I will not touch you at all. However, I also have a saying that there are no eyes on the battlefield. If you go back to the city and then help Dong Zhuo fight with us, the matter of life and death will only be safe, and no one can save you. Therefore, please consider staying carefully and don't regret it.
These soldiers are resident in Luoyang and naturally know Nanye. Many people have seen Nanye's tactics. Some have also played cards and chatted with Nan Ye's personal guards in the ring, and know that Master Nanye is easy-going. So some soldiers boldly said, "Master, it's not that we don't want to follow the mage and assassins, but our families are all in the city. It's okay if we die on the battlefield or are captured and can't return to the city, but if we can't return, I'm afraid that our family will be killed by Dong Zhuo. Please forgive me."
When a soldier opened his mouth, the other soldiers also spoke boldly. Some said, "If I had known that there was today's World War I, I should have listened to the mage's words and moved my family into the Science City early." Some people patted their chests and said, "When I go back to the city to pick up the house to urinate and turn to the mage."
After listening for a long time, basically no one wanted to stay, and even those who had no family planned to go back to the city to clean up their belongings and come back to rely on. So Nan Ye nodded and said, "I understand your pain. Although you go back to the city, I will never stop you.
