Chapter 163 Treatment of Prisoners of War

"What are you going to do with us surrendered troops?" Zhao Kuo asked with a stern face, his tone no longer as relaxed as before.

Bai Qi frowned, this was also a problem he was worried about, this was a total of 40 people, and the food consumed every day was an astronomical figure, it would be fine if it was left for a day or two, if it took a long time, Daqin's logistics might be destroyed They are overwhelmed.

Da Qin worked hard to defeat Zhao's army, and if he was overwhelmed by these captives in the end, then Qin would become a joke in the Six Kingdoms.

"This kind of matter has to be decided by my king, so I won't bother you." Bai Qi said coldly.

Zhao Kuo lowered his head, and there was a hint of pleading in his voice: "If possible, I hope you don't embarrass those ordinary soldiers. You should understand that they are just puppets who obey orders just like you. If the King of Qin needs someone to take the blame, put us It should be enough to roll it out."

Bai Qiqiu nodded. In his vision, these generals only needed to be beheaded to show the public. As for the ordinary soldiers, it would be the most cost-effective to let King Zhao redeem them with money and food as long as they collected their weapons.

There has never been an example of directly capturing 40 people like this time in history before. Generally, as long as [-]% of the battle damage occurs in a war, the enemy army will basically start to be completely defeated and ordered to retreat. Even if some prisoners can be captured , and the number will definitely not be many.

The capture of more than 40 captives at one time like this time almost broke the historical record, and even King Qin was worried about these captives.

It's not right to kill so many people, and it's not right to let them go. It's really a headache.

"The king's will cannot be changed, I can only say my best."

"That's enough." A smile appeared on Zhao Kuo's face, and he didn't feel sad because he was about to be executed. If their deaths can be exchanged for the lives of these 10 people, then all this is worth it.

What's more, being able to live up to now in this era when human life is so cheap, his life has been more exciting than most of them, and it is not too shameful to lose at the hands of the famous killing god Bai Qi.

Zhao Kuo said seriously: "I hope you can keep your promise, otherwise even if you become an evil ghost, I will pester you for the rest of your life."

The expression on Bai Qi's face finally changed a little, and he forced a smile and said: "You are very good, and those soldiers following you are not considered to be following the wrong person."

"Is this a compliment to me?" Zhao Kuo also smiled and said, "A compliment from Suicide?"

Bai Qi didn't make a sound, got up and left, and as soon as he got out of the camp, the adjutant Jia Yong who was waiting outside the big tent surrounded him and asked cautiously: "General, is Zhao Kuo planning to surrender?"

Bai Qi pondered for two seconds, then replied: "No."

As the coach, if Zhao Kuo surrenders, it will undoubtedly have the greatest impact on the prisoners of Zhao Guo. Many people will even have the idea of ​​​​"Since the coach has surrendered, why can't we surrender?"

But Zhao Kuo can't surrender, Qin Wang can't tolerate Zhao Kuo is still alive, as the commander of the 45 army, Zhao Kuo's voice among these prisoners is terrible, as long as he waved his hand, the hundreds of thousands of Zhao Kuo prisoners At least half of the people will break through desperately. Although the chance of success is not high, it will be a trouble after all.

Jia Yong couldn't figure it out, so he muttered in a low voice: "Look at him, he has thin skin and tender flesh, but his bones are quite hard. General, do you want me to send someone to entertain him?"

The "entertainment" in his mouth is not a good thing without even thinking about it. To deal with such a stubborn person who refuses to surrender, execution is the most direct and effective means.

"No need." Bai Qi refused.

"You don't know him. Although Zhao Jun was defeated this time, the loss of our Great Qin Iron Cavalry is not small. We need someone to stand up and act as an object to vent our anger. Zhao Kuo also understands this, so he can't surrender. Can't surrender, only his death can eliminate my king's anger."

Jia Yong nodded as if he understood, and suddenly realized that it was great that he didn't have to be the coach. If it were him, he would definitely not be as far away as Bai Qi thought. Sure enough, it would be better to just follow the general honestly.

Bai Qi began to inspect the camp, especially the place where the prisoners were held. These more than 40 prisoners were almost more than their Daqin army, and riots were easy to occur, and there was no room for carelessness.

However, within half an hour, an order broke Bai Qi's inspection plan.

"Report-"

"General, your Majesty is sending an order. I hope the general can come back as soon as possible."

Bai Qi took the secret order from this person, and recognized King Qin Zhao's handwriting on it at a glance.

"General, what's the matter?" Adjutant Jia Yong asked cautiously, Bai Qi's expression remained unchanged, and he couldn't see why, so he could only ask.

Bai Qi closed the secret edict and said: "It's still about the 40 captives. Your Majesty hasn't made a decision yet. This time I'm ordered to go over and discuss how to deal with these captives."

Jia Yong was stunned, puzzled and said: "General, aren't we only responsible for fighting? What does handling prisoners have to do with us?"

He was also depressed. They were just a group of military generals, and it was almost as good to let them kill people. The time-consuming and laborious matter of handling prisoners had always been left to those civilian officials.

There are generally only a few endings for the captives, either as slaves, or by the enemy in exchange for food and weapons. As for killing them all, that is the most unavoidable and the easiest way to be cast aside.

After these years of self-cultivation, the state of Qin has increased a lot, but it can barely make enough to feed the people. The population of Qin is only more than 40 million. If an increase of [-] prisoners of war is added, the entire Great Qin will Being dragged down, therefore, it is absolutely not advisable to accept these people as slaves.

Therefore, it is most suitable to use some people to exchange a lot of resources with Zhao Guo to increase Qin's war background.

However, Bai Qi didn't quite understand why King Qin Zhao would summon him. After all, he was not suitable for negotiation.

"Something must have happened." Bai Qi could only guess like this for the time being.

Adjutant Jia Yong scratched the back of his head: "General, why don't we follow?"

"No." Bai Qi refused without thinking.

"You stay here first, in case people like Zhao Guo make trouble."

Jia Yong laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, general, although our ability to lead troops to fight is not as good as yours, it is more than enough to guard these people well."

Bai Qi couldn't deny it. He still had some confidence in Jia Yong and the others. After thinking for a moment, he said: "After dealing with these captives, I will apply to the king for a period of training."

"Really?" Jia Yong's face was full of excitement, he laughed and said, "It's been three years, brothers have been waiting for this day for a long time."

Has it been three years?Bai Qi sighed a little, unknowingly, three years have passed like this.

It took him three years to establish the state of Zhao's war, how long will it take to calm the world?Or, is it really possible for him to do it in this life?
