Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

Li Xin scratched his head, what he said was right.

After all, the most troublesome thing for nomads like the Donghu and the Huns is their cavalry troops.

The high mobility of cavalry and the power of charging have always been the big killer on the battlefield.

Moreover, nomads have grown up on horseback since they were young, and their riding and archery skills are naturally far superior to ordinary people.

But Zhao Che used a simple strategy of inviting the king into the urn, and perfectly annihilated the cavalry of the Donghu army, and even made them have no chance to escape.

"My lord, how do you think these captives should be dealt with?"

Li Xin looked at the Donghu prisoners being escorted by his subordinates, and asked Zhao Che.

Nearly half of Donghu's army was killed, but there were still more than [-] people who surrendered.

With so many people, if they don't handle it well, it will be a big trouble for them if they cause any confusion.

The most important thing is that Zhao Che's actions against Donghu haven't stopped yet, and cleaning up their main force is only the second.

Now because of Zhao Che's strategy on the Donghu side, all the troops are divided into two groups. One way is to attack Shangjun and Li Xin cleans it up. The other way is to unite the Huns army to fight against the 40 troops led by Meng Tian and Han Xin.

Therefore, at this moment, Donghu's defense can be said to be really empty. Even if Li Xin didn't know Zhao Che's plan, he knew that taking this opportunity to directly enter Donghu's base camp and wipe them out would be the best result.

But there are still more than [-] captives in Shangjun. If no one is left to guard the city, it will be the most dangerous thing if they mutiny.

Therefore, these more than [-] captives have become a hot potato for the time being, and Li Xin can only ask Zhao Che about his plans.

When Zhao Che heard this, a trace of hostility flashed in his eyes, and his pupils turned red.

"Kill them all, leave no one behind!"

"All... all killed?"

Even Li Xin, who is a military commander, was a little awkward to speak after hearing Zhao Che's decision.

"Young master, these are more than [-] captives. Isn't it too harmful to kill them all?"

Li Xin was a little puzzled, isn't the rumored Zhao Che a benevolent and generous person?

But after being in contact with Zhao Che for so long, Li Xin really didn't see Zhao Cheren's kindness and generosity. On the contrary, he was black-bellied and vicious, and his decisiveness in killing was even more impressive.

In particular, Zhao Che's decision cost the lives of more than [-] captives in one sentence. If it were Li Xin himself, he believed that he would never have the courage to issue this order so easily.

"The enmity between Daqin and the foreign races in the grassland is as deep as sea, and these captives keep saying that my people of Daqin are like two-legged sheep and slaves. Will I still keep their lives?"

"Cutting the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates. If these captives are left behind, even if we wipe out the Donghu, maybe one day they will reappear, and it will be the people of Daqin who will suffer."

"From the time they took the initiative to invade our Great Qin border, they should have been prepared to die. It would be a waste of food to keep them, so we might as well kill them all!"

……

Zhao Che snorted coldly, not hiding the killing intent on his body.

Not only the Donghu captives in front of them, but also anyone including the Donghu royal court, as well as the Xiongnu, Loufan, Dayuezhi, Qiang and other grassland aliens.

Zhao Che didn't intend to let any of them go, he would kill them if he wanted to, and not keep any of them!
"Think twice, son. Although the alien races in the grassland have a deep hatred with us, the Great Qin, but now these captives have no ability to resist, and the civilians of the alien races, there are always innocent people among them. Kill them all, I'm afraid it will hurt Tianhe!"

Li Xin looked at Zhao Che in horror and said.

For some reason, he felt that something was wrong with Zhao Che at this moment.

Even the most famous executioner of the Warring States Period during King Zhaoxiang, Lord Wu'an of the Great Qin Dynasty, and Bai Qi, who was dubbed a human butcher, might not have such a strong killing intent.

After all, Bai Qi's most famous battle of Changping killed 40 Zhao's army in the first battle.

It seems that Bai Qi killed far more people than Zhao Che, but that was a decision he made out of helplessness.

After all, the 40 captives were really a hot potato for Daqin at the time.

For the 40 captives, eating, drinking, and scavenging were a huge consumption. At that time, it was already very difficult for Daqin to support its own army. How could there be extra food for these captives?

If these captives were returned to Zhao, then for Daqin, the Battle of Changping would be no different from failure. After spending so much food and grass, and making so many foreshadowings, the final result still made people 40 Wan Dajun went back safe and sound, doesn't that mean a crushing defeat?

Therefore, for Da Qin and Bai Qi at that time, killing the 40 troops directly was the simplest and most effective way, and it could even be said to be the only way.

Of course, someone may ask, why Bai Qi could kill 40 Zhao's army, but Zhao Che couldn't kill the [-] Donghu prisoners?Is the life of Donghu captives more noble than Zhao captives?
Of course not, if possible, Li Xin would also be very much in favor of Zhao Che's decision to kill the [-] captives directly.

But the problem is that the current Daqin is different from the Daqin at that time, and Donghu is no longer a threat to them.

Even if the [-] captives were left behind, for Daqin, there was no need to worry about Donghu's rebellion. Anyway, their royal court was wiped out.

Moreover, these more than [-] Donghu captives are still a rare labor force for the current Daqin.

After all, Daqin is now developing rapidly, and there is an urgent shortage of capable labor force everywhere.

The total population of Daqin is only over 2000 million. Even if everyone is desperately trying to have children now, it will take at least 20 years for the population to grow.

In 20 years, Daqin can develop to a higher level, which must be something that other people dare not even dream about.

After all, Great Qin almost destroyed the country and eventually unified the world, but six Mingjun came out one after another, and the survivors of the sixth generation built the foundation for Great Qin to rule the world.

Now it only takes 20 years to bring Da Qinfei to a higher level. Why isn't this something that people dream of?

However, for Zhao Che, 20 years is still too long. He doesn't want to let Daqin reach the sky in one step, but on the basis of Daqin's development and construction, the basic industry must be the most time-consuming and labor-intensive thing.

Instead of directly killing the [-] captives, it is better to use their waste and send them back to the Daqin construction site to help with the construction.

Secondly, there is another point that Li Xin didn't dare to tell Zhao Che.

Because Zhao Che's current situation seemed to be a little bit wrong, as if he was possessed by a demon, Li Xin was worried that his impulsive decision might bring about some uncontrollable impact, so he could only find a way to stop it first.
