"Your Majesty, the 300,000 Serbian troops who are now besieged have been completely annihilated by us, and as many as 250,000 of our troops have been captured by capturing our army alone. "250,000 prisoners of war," Li Liangzuo said with a wry smile; "That's a big problem, what do you think should be done with them?"
"Your Majesty, now that our country is short of young and strong, these 250,000 prisoners of war can be used as slaves to contribute to the construction of our Great Xia Kingdom."
"Let them contribute to us, Yanzong has thought about how much food it takes to feed them without so many people, and what my Great Xia Kingdom lacks most now is grain and grass."
Li Liangzuo said to Li Yanzong.
"What does Your Majesty mean then?"
"Only dead prisoners of war are the best prisoners of war" "But Your Majesty, we can't dispose of so many people at once, we can only execute them in batches; However, if the truth is known to these captives, it may cause a riot and cause unnecessary casualties to the army. ” "You're right, you have to find a way to dispose of them all."
After Li Liangzuo finished speaking, he left alone. 250,000 lives is not a trivial matter, since Li Liangzuo has decided to execute them, of course he will not regret it, but how to deal with it is a problem, these 250,000 people must also be dealt with together, otherwise once a riot is triggered, it will really cause a lot of trouble to the Xia army.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Liangzuo made the final decision, Li Liangzuo decided to follow Bai Qi, the Qin general Bai Qi during the Warring States Period had killed 400,000 Zhao troops in the Battle of Changping, and Li Liangzuo decided to kill 250,000 Serbian troops here, but to bury these 250,000 people alive is also a problem, first of all, Li Liangzuo must prepare a big pit that can bury these alive.
After returning to the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Liangzuo summoned the generals and said: "I have decided to kill these 250,000 Serbian soldiers, but the question now is, how to dig such a big pit."
"Let them dig it themselves," Qin Hu said with a smile.
"It's easy to say, if you think they're all fools, it won't work to let them dig up themselves."
Ji La Yong'er objected.
Li Liangzuo glanced at everyone and found that Li Yi was pondering, Li Liangzuo asked Li Yi, "Li Yi, what do you have in mind?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "The last general thinks that we can have a competition. ” "Competition" Li Liangzuo asked puzzled; "What kind of competition to make it clear to Lao Tzu."
Li Yi explained his thoughts to Li Liangzuo one by one, and Li Liangzuo smiled after listening to it: "Good idea, I didn't expect your kid to have a good brain; I'll leave this matter to you, and I'll be rewarded for doing it well. ” "Yes, the last general commands."
Li Yi took the military order and said.
After Li Yi left, he immediately set about doing this, Li Yi gathered all the prisoners of war at the foot of a small hill, on the hillside Li Yi built a school platform, and on the periphery were well-equipped Xia army soldiers; There were no more officers among the captives, and for these ordinary soldiers, all that remained in their hearts was fear and fear.
Li Yi walked to the school platform and said to all the prisoners: "Prisoners of war of the Serbian army, you listen, our Great Xia Kingdom has never raised waste, if you want to continue to live, you must prove your ability, only capable people are worthy of us, and all craftsmen can come out first, if anyone dares to pretend and be discovered by us."
Hearing Li Yi's words, all the craftsmen in the Serbian military camp came out and gathered aside, these people will be screened one by one, and then enter the territory of the Great Xia Kingdom, although they can continue to live, but what awaits them is a slave-like life, of course, in the days to come, some of them have become excellent craftsmen in the Great Xia Kingdom, and in the future war against the Seljuk Empire, the weapons created by these craftsmen played a vital role.
All the capable people have been singled out, and the rest are ordinary soldiers, these people are either a waste of air for Li Liangzuo, and a waste of land when they die; They didn't know that there was only a dead end waiting for them, and Li Liangzuo and they also created a huge conspiracy for the death of these prisoners of war.
Under the supervision of the Xia army, the Serbian prisoners spent a day building a huge fence under the hillside, Li Yi told them that this would be the prisoner of war camp where they lived, so these prisoners of war built the fence very strongly, after the fence was built, Li Yi did not make any big moves, but sent heavy troops to surround this place, and Li Yi also sent people to build a grandstand on the hillside not far away.
The next morning, as soon as the sky was dawning, Li Yi sent people to call all these prisoners of war up, for the Xia soldiers a wonderful performance was about to begin, but for the Serbian prisoners, this was the beginning of death, and the fence they built with their own hands would become their cemetery.
Li Yi stood in the stands and said to all the prisoners of war; "The rest of you people are not skilled in life, and there is only a dead end for those who do not have a skill, but His Majesty the Emperor has the virtue of a good life; Your Majesty means that only the strong among you can stay, and there is a limit to the number of people who can stay alive, and only 30,000 of you can leave here alive, so if you want to leave alive, you can only eliminate all the weak."
Elimination is good, to put it bluntly, let them kill each other, Li Yi's words just fell, these Serbian prisoners of war did not move, but a bit of a desperate posture, in order to suppress the possible rebellion, Li Yi ordered the Xia army archers on the periphery to release arrows, and for a while many Serbian prisoners died under the arrows of the Xia army.
Resistance is only a dead end, and if you do it to your own people, there may be a glimmer of life, under this desire to survive, I don't know who started, a life-and-death battle broke out in the entire enclosure, the prisoners of war of the Serbian army began to kill each other, they have no weapons, if they want to kill the opponent, they can only rely on their fists to bite by mouth, not long after the performance began, Li Liangzuo arrived with the generals, these battlefield generals sat on the stands, watching the former enemies kill each other, and they were drinking and eating meat.
Watching such a performance, Li Liangzuo didn't seem to be happy, Li Liangzuo called Li Yi over and said: "It's too slow to fight like this, Li Yi sent someone to get some wooden sticks and throw them in." ” "Yes, I'll do it."
Not everyone has a wooden stick, and for these prisoners of war, having this stick in their hands is equivalent to an extra hope of survival, so in order to snatch the stick, the scuffle is even more tragic; Qin Hu, who had drunk a little wine, felt a little unhappy at this time, Qin Hu beckoned to his attendant and asked him to bring the bow and arrow, and after the bow and arrow arrived, Qin Hu shot at the prisoner in the fence with a bow and arrow.
Li Liangzuo didn't say much about such a move, someone took the lead, and the rest of the people also participated, and even this became a game for these generals, each of whom painted the arrows in a different color to see who shot the most prisoners; At the end of a scuffle, there were less than 30,000 people who really survived, and Li Liangzuo ordered them to eat a half-full meal, and the next morning let them dig a pit in the fence, in the name of letting them bury their bodies.
But in the end, these people who dug the pit could not escape death after burying the corpses, and after all the bodies were buried, Li Liangzuo ordered all these captives to be killed, and their heads were cut off and piled up into Jingguan.
