Chapter 292: Xiang Yu doesn't understand
The Chu army treated prisoners of war very poorly, and specially found a wasteland and fenced it with a wooden fence, which was the place where the army hoarded feces and urine, and the air smelled full of feces and urine.
How much filth should more than 100,000 people have every day? When some Chu soldiers came to dump filth, they didn't look at anyone at all, and the prisoners of war who were squeezed into a pile would definitely be splashed all over.
Xiang Yu came to such a filthy place under Chen Ping's lead, and they smelled a bad smell from afar.
Chen Ping stopped: "Nobleman, it's filthy there, just bring people out from Ping?" ”
Xiang Yu was frowning, the smell was disgusting, and he nodded lightly when he saw Chen Ping's acquaintance.
The camps where the prisoners of war were held had long since been covered with filth, and many areas looked like bars for cattle and urine, and the dirt had been trampled up.
Chen Ping got closer and heard the commotion, and some Chu soldiers were looking at the prisoner of war camp with the expression of watching a monkey show, and there were more than 100 people in it surrounded by four or five hundred people in the middle, seeing that the situation was a brawl?
It was indeed a brawl, originally under Huan Chu, but behind it were the people of Lujiang County, who were in turmoil, and more than 500 of them surrounded more than 100 people of Lu Zhejun, and the two groups were facing each other. Seeing that many of these prisoners of war have blue noses and swollen faces, they have obviously already had a fight?
"What's going on?" Chen Ping was a little angry, the prisoners of war were actually watching the fight inside, if the prisoner of war camp was completely chaotic, what if the prisoners of war took advantage of the situation to break through the fence and run!
The right leader of the Chu soldiers saw that the person who came was Chen Ping, who was quite valued by the general in the army, and the right leader jokingly said: "The people on Huan Chu's side and the people on Lu Zhe's side are fighting. ”
"Huh!?" Chen Ping was a little speechless, he wasn't asking who was fighting with whom, he was saying why he didn't stop it, but the right leader obviously misunderstood.
"At first, more than 50 people can't beat more than 20 people, and then more than 500 people can't beat more than 100 people, those people in Huan Chu are really useless." The right leader described the passage.
"Isn't that right? If the prisoners of war are in turmoil, ......," Chen Ping saw the right leader smile when he saw him halfway through his words.
"It's okay, it's okay. The prisoners of war inside were divided into many shares themselves. They are full of contradictions with each other, and they will only fight fiercely inside, and dare not break through the fence. The right leader has a reason to despise, "There are many injuries, if you don't take care of the robe, you will be beaten to death if you are touched a little, no wonder Huan Chu is so vulnerable." ”
Aren't the people who started the rebellion all over the mountains within their forces? Huan Chu is also a force that has only grown strong by annexing dozens of armed forces of all sizes, if Huan Chu continues to be strong, those annexed armed forces will naturally obey, but Huan Chu is almost defeated. Therefore, it is no wonder that the armed forces that were originally annexed did not rebel against the sky.
Chen Ping also smiled "hehe" after hearing this, and said after laughing: "General Xiang Xiao wants to interrogate Lu Zhejun's soldiers, and he bothers the right leader to bring out a few prisoners of war from Lu Zhejun. ”
The right leader was stunned for a moment, there were many so-called Xiang Xiao Generals, he looked in the direction that Chen Ping was looking at, and saw Xiang Yu standing in the distance, and then turned his head to Chen Ping and hugged his fist: "Wait a minute." ”
Outside is different from inside, the right leader needs to bring in a little more troops.
Waiting for nearly 3,000 Chu soldiers to come, the prisoners of war inside did not dare to be presumptuous when they saw the movement. Only to wait quietly.
"Open the gate!" The right leader looked majestic and waved his hand and shouted.
Let the Chu soldiers next to him open the gate of the wall, a group of Chu soldiers walked in and beat the prisoners of war crowded by the gate with sticks, and more Chu soldiers poured in, so frightened that the prisoners of war couldn't help but retreat on both sides.
"Who is Lu Zhe's soldier? Lean over this way! "There is a centurion of the Chu army shouting loudly.
In fact, it is easy to identify who is whose soldier, Huan Chu's subordinates are either dressed in colorful colors or are wearing khaki robes, but the style of the robes under Huan Chu's command is different from that of Chu Jun. And Lu Zhejun's robe is the same style as Qin Jun's, gray or black.
Shouting is heard. Lu Zhejun's soldiers looked at each other with Zhou Jin's robes, they didn't know what they were going to do when they were called out, but now they were called out by the victors as prisoners of war. There is a high probability that there will be a massacre.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go!"
First one person spoke up, and then more people responded, and people dressed in gray or black, although they didn't know what fate they would face, stood up.
It's not a tragic spirit, it's just a kind of freedom or helplessness that dies or dies, and more and more prisoners of war dressed in gray or black leaned in.
Sergeant Lu Zhe, who was uninjured or slightly injured, walked over, and those who were so injured that they could not move on their own were some looking up at the sky, and some were looking down and sighing. The robes go first, and if they are unlucky, they will follow.
"Enough, enough. It was the official himself who stood up, and the little trash fish retreated! "The right leader didn't forget that he was going to interrogate, of course, he was choosing someone with a higher status.
There was no shortage of officers and men captured by Lu Zhejun, and the highest official rank was three military marquis and twenty-four hundred generals, of which there were seven hundred generals in the soldiers, but there were none.
"Name your official position!"
"Hundred generals."
"Marquis."
The right leader watched the prisoners of war who stood up report their official ranks one after another, and it was strange how some hundred generals looked more imposing than the military marquis?
The 100 generals of the soldiers are naturally more imposing than the military marquis of the auxiliary soldiers, so the position of the military marquis of the auxiliary soldiers is behind the 100 generals of the soldiers.
Chen Ping didn't know much about military affairs, and he could see the difference, but these were none of his business. He said to the right leader, "Please also send a sergeant to accompany Ping." ”
The right leader rarely has the opportunity to stammer with the little general, how can he refuse? He ordered 100 Chu soldiers to follow Chen Ping and escort 11 prisoners of war away.
Xiang Yu saw everything that happened from a distance, he didn't look down on Huan Chu's troops very much, and thought that Huan Chu's subordinates were not worthy of being soldiers at all, but those people in Lu Zhejun's army were looked down upon a few times, because even if they were prisoners of war, the ranks in the army were still remembered.
Without choosing any special position, let alone a strange torture instrument, Xiang Yu and other prisoners of war were brought over and said to Chu Bing: "You can just be on guard around." It is to be questioned on the spot.
The centurion of the Chu soldiers hesitated: "General, these prisoners of war are unruly ......"
Xiang Yu waved his hand, facing eleven prisoners of war, and six of them were obviously wounded prisoners of war, how could he be afraid of having a three-foot Qingfeng in his hand?
"So ......" The centurion of the Chu soldiers stopped saying too much, led the people to retreat a distance, and stared at those prisoners of war with vigilant eyes, as long as there was a slight mistake, he would definitely lead his troops to kill them all.
Chen Ping didn't walk away, he looked at the prisoners of war with a somewhat calm expression with curious eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
"Which of you is the elder?" Xiang Yu asked calmly.
The hundred generals of the soldiers all stood up, they did not speak, but their attitude was obvious.
"The military marquis in Lu Zhe's army is an armor with two copper pendants in the style of white velvet hanging flocculents, and Bai will be two white velvet hanging flocs." Xiang Yu actually knew this? He looked at the prisoners of war who were obviously 100 generals, and then looked at those who were military marquis but stood behind: "Hundred generals are in a high position, what is the point?" ”
"May I ask this general, is he going to kill or chop?" One of the 100 generals asked.
Xiang Yu stared at the person who spoke, "Don't kill, don't chop." He actually took the lead in sitting on the ground, and then made a gesture for the officers of Lu Zhejun to sit down as well.
These people in Lu Zhejun were a little puzzled, they looked at each other, and felt that they were captured anyway, since Chu Jun, a person with an obviously high status, had time to waste, what could they not deal with? They sat down separately.
"I am curious about your Lord, what kind of man is he?" Xiang Yu's posture was very much like a casual chat.
Where is this, and who are the people? Lu Zhejun's officers were confused, this person who seemed to be of high status brought them up just to ask this?
"The head of my family is a husband who is compassionate to the soldiers and loves the people like a son." Bai Jiangqu replied.
A husband, a man who is not a woman, means a hero, a hero.
"Oh!" Xiang Yu was unimpressed by his perfunctory treatment, "Do you sympathize with the soldiers?" No wonder those people were willing to die for it. As for the Qianshou? There is no Qianshou in his eyes at all, some are just soldiers and iron horses, "Can you tell me how to compassionate the law?" ”
This majestic-looking but young Chu general confused the officers of Lu Zhejun, and they subconsciously looked at each other, but they began to be apprehensive in their hearts.
Death, becoming a member of the army is dealing with death anytime and anywhere, so soldiers can be calm in the face of death although they are afraid, these military marquis and generals do not want to encounter unknown situations, so they are not sure what will happen.
However, since the Chu generals want to know, they are also willing to say some things that they have done for the Lord who has served them.
Listening to it, Xiang Yu began to understand a little, Lu Zhe's compassion for the soldiers is not so simple, it is not a show for a soldier to suck pus and blood (Spring and Autumn allusions), it is not a kind of cozy eating and sleeping together, it is to give the soldiers the treatment they deserve, and if they have merit, they will be rewarded and punished.
Xiang Yu was bored, what Lu Zhe did seemed to be what every general should do, right? He didn't understand how Lu Zhejun called this compassion: "That's all? ”
"Huh." Several people laughed, and that's all, but how many can really do it.
As a soldier, unless you are incompetent, who doesn't want a level playing field where everyone is given the opportunity to get ahead? And they didn't mention Lu Zhe's policy of benefiting the people for the people, but Xiang Yu didn't take it seriously, so how can they know that it is precisely because the families of the soldiers live happily that the soldiers have the greatest compassion.
Chu Jun...... Or Chu State, is a very complex environment for interpersonal communication, and many times the court values family background, not who has much ability, and this is basically the case in the army, so as long as it is Xiang's family, such as Xiang Yu, Xiang It, and Xiang Lai, who have not had any credit before, they are high and powerful as soon as they enter the army, and some people who fight to the death may not be able to get the treatment they deserve.
So...... Xiang Yu doesn't understand, and he probably can't understand either. (To be continued......)
