Everyone in Changshe had a feast and drank to their heart's content.
Other than Huangfu Song and Sun Ce, no one else noticed Liu Guanzhang's escape.
"My lord, I've thought about it again and again. Liu Bei's innate talent is unique, and I feel that he will be a problem in the future.”Liu Bowen whispered mysteriously.
Sun Ce held his forehead and sighed,"Bowen, don't worry about him, okay?" I let him go because I saw that he was a troublemaker and let him harm others. As for me, I'm confident that I can suppress him forever!”
Now that the siege of Changshe had been lifted and the main force of the Yellow Turban army in Yingchuan had been defeated, Huangfu Song, Zhu Wei, and Sun Ce needed to continue to pursue the Yellow Turban army.
However, the total number of troops from the three armies was less than 100,000, but the Yellow Turban soldiers captured amounted to 70,000!
How to deal with these 70,000 people became a big problem.
Huangfu Song came from a prestigious family and had a natural disdain for commoners. He immediately thought of killing them.
Hence, Huangfu Song said," These unruly people don't care about the land. They're lazy and think that they can plunder and make a fortune just by coming out to cause trouble. If we don't kill them, it won't be enough to intimidate the bandits!”
Although Zhu Xiong was born in a poor family, he was now a high official in the court and had a marriage relationship with a rich family. He was now considered a noble. Although he knew that it was not easy for the common people, it was unrealistic for him to protect the common people with his current status and identity. Therefore, he kept silent with a contradictory mentality.
"General Sun, what do you think?" Huangfu Song asked Sun Ce again.
At this moment, Sun Ce heard the system notification!
"Ding! It has been detected that Huangfu Song wants to kill all the Yellow Turban captives. The host has the following options: ”
" 1. Agree with Huangfu Song killing the captives."
" 2. Refuse to kill captives. Obtain the right to dispose of captives."
Sun Ce had long targeted these Yellow Turban bandits, but he had no excuse to speak.
When he heard Huangfu Song's question and the system's mission, he immediately made his choice!
"System, I choose 2!"
He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and calmed down to persuade Huangfu Song."General Huangfu, if you ask me, we can't kill these Yellow Turban bandits!”
"Why can't I kill him?" Huangfu Song's face immediately revealed a suspicious expression. Haven't we killed a lot already? Lu Zhi was also killing, and the provincial governors and county governors were also killing! Why can't we kill these people?"
Sun Ce laughed." They came to attack us or put up a stubborn resistance. Naturally, we have to kill them. We have to defeat them and make them afraid! But now that they had lost and become captives, there was no need to kill them.”
Huangfu Song shook his head." General Sun, forgive me for being blunt. Once you've tasted the sweetness of being a thief, I'm afraid that you'll be looking forward to being a thief for the rest of your life. If you don't kill them, the world will never be at peace!”
Sun Ce thought for a moment, then picked up the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd in his hand."General Huangfu, look at my weapon. Is it good or bad?”
Huangfu Song took a look and said seriously,""General Sun's divine weapon has a bronze body and a golden blade. The carvings are gorgeous. This is a divine weapon that can kill enemies!"
Sun Ce nodded." This weapon is indeed very sharp. In my hands, it is naturally a divine weapon to kill enemies and protect the country. It is a weapon that represents justice!" But General Huangfu, what did he represent when this divine weapon fell into the hands of the Yellow Turban bandits?”
"General Sun, what do you want to say?" Huangfu Song was immediately confused.”
"What I want to say is that this saber, in the hands of a righteous person, is a weapon that protects the country and the people! However, if it fell into the hands of evil people, it would naturally be something that would bring disaster to the country and the people! Weapons were like this, so were people! "If these captives fall into Zhang Jiao's hands, they'll be a disaster. But if they fall into my hands, they'll be like this weapon. They'll become treasures that benefit the country and the people!”
Zhu Rong immediately revealed a happy expression. He really didn't want to kill these Yellow Turban bandits.
However, these people had swept through most of the provinces and almost wiped out many large families. The families of many officials in the court had suffered varying degrees of destruction because of this. If he said that he would let the Yellow Turban Army go now, he would probably be jointly reported by the officials in the court, impeached until he was dismissed from office, or even assassinated by the dignitaries.
Originally, when he saw Sun Ce repeatedly targeting Liu Bei during the banquet, he thought that Sun Ce was an eccentric person. Now, he had a very good impression of Sun Ce and thought that he was a good general who truly assisted the country and pacified the people.
When Huangfu Song heard Sun Ce's words, his expression changed slightly and became complicated.""General Sun, how can you guarantee that those unruly people will listen to you like your weapons? One had to know that weapons did not eat or drink, and they did not have their own opinions. These unruly people had their own thoughts and were more eager to fill their stomachs! There were even some people who yearned for an official position! However, could General Sun fulfill their wishes? "You must know that even the soldiers led by this old man, Zhu Rong, and Lu Zhi have emptied the national treasury. There are 70,000 people here. Unless you have wealth that can rival a country, it's impossible to arrange for them!”
Sun Ce thought for a moment and immediately said solemnly,"Of course I can satisfy them! I can guarantee that with me, Sun Ce, around, they won't starve. As long as they're willing to follow me, I can guarantee that they won't be threatened, and I won't exploit them too much.”
