Changshe City, Huangfu Song's mansion.
Qin Yi and Cao Cao, after being greeted by a group of soldiers, found Huangfu Song, who was chatting with Zhu Rong, under the escort of one of Huangfu Song's guards.
"Nephew, Meng De, why are you here?”
"Could it be because of the manuscript?”
Huangfu Song didn't know that Qin Yi and Cao Cao were here to surrender. When he saw Qin Yi, he thought that Qin Yi was here for the plague manuscript.
"Uncle, Zi Yang came here this time because he hopes that uncle will give up on the idea of killing the captives.”
Qin Yi said bluntly.
He didn't show the slightest fear because the person in front of him was the Left Lieutenant General of the Great Han Dynasty.
When Huangfu Song heard this, his expression turned slightly ugly.
After he found out Qin Yi's identity, he felt guilty towards Qin Yi. In addition, Qin Yi's plan to deal with the plague today had made Qin Yi deeply loved by Huangfu Song.
However, even so, Huangfu Song was a little dissatisfied when he heard Qin Yi asking him to change his military order.
However, he also understood that Qin Yi was a great talent and would not speak without thinking, so he said to Qin Yi.
"Give me an explanation for not killing the surrendered prisoners.”
Qin Yi could naturally see Huangfu Song's dissatisfaction. However, he could not care less about anything else at this moment.
Therefore, he said directly.
"Uncle, in your opinion, if the Great Han army is defeated one day and the soldiers surrender, and all of them are killed, what will the soldiers who want to surrender do in the future?”
Qin Yi didn't give Huangfu Song any big reasons. Instead, he put himself in Huangfu Song's shoes and told him the drawbacks.
Huangfu Song's expression turned ugly when he heard this.
The reason why he had issued the idea of killing the captives was that he had been blinded by the anger of the Yellow Turban army who had been trapped for ten days. In addition, he wanted to use this move to intimidate the Yellow Turban army in the world.
However, he did not expect the danger of killing the captives. However, as one of the few famous generals in the Great Han Dynasty, he instantly understood after Qin Yi's guidance.
"I understand."
A moment later, Huangfu Song bowed to Qin Yi.
When Qin Yi saw this, he hurriedly went forward to help Huangfu Song up and shook his head.
"Uncle, why are you doing this?"
"Virtuous nephew, if it wasn't for you today, I would have brought disaster to the Great Han Dynasty.”
After Huangfu Song was helped up by Qin Yi, he spoke with a stern expression.
Qin Yi shook his head slightly.
"There is no greater good than knowing your mistakes and being able to correct them."
"No matter how powerful a general is, there are times when he makes mistakes.”
"I hope uncle can learn from this.”
"Use history as a mirror to understand yourself.”
"Today, I heard a sentence from my nephew, which is better than ten years of reading.”
Huangfu Song smiled bitterly.
Cao Cao, who was standing beside Qin Yi, revealed a look of desire.
"If Brother Ziyang is really my military advisor, how good would that be?”
Now, although Qin Yi was Cao Cao's military advisor in name, once the Yellow Turban army was pacified and the army was handed over, Qin Yi would no longer be Cao Cao's military advisor.
Therefore, Cao Cao had such thoughts.
"Commander Qin Yi is truly talented.”
At the same time, the Right Lieutenant General Zhu Rong came in front of the two of them and said with a smile.
When Huangfu Song had decided to kill the prisoners, he had tried to dissuade him. Unfortunately, Huangfu Song had been too angry to listen.
This time, if Qin Yi had not spoken, Huangfu Song might not have listened.
In fact, even if he understood, he might be wrong.
After all, changing military orders was a big taboo.
This was especially true for the Han Army of Changshe.
However, now that Qin Yi had said it so bluntly, Huangfu Song also understood the consequences. Naturally, he would not do it again.
Moreover, the military order had yet to be issued.
There was still a chance to make up for it.
"Then, since we don't kill these 50,000 surrendered soldiers, it's a waste of food to keep them.”
After killing the surrendered soldiers, they encountered another problem.
Food.
After all, this was 50,000 mouths, and they needed a large amount of food to feed them every day.
Especially when it was a group of surrendered soldiers, it was even more troublesome.
Back then, Huangfu Song had this thought when he gave the order to kill the surrendered soldiers.
After all, even Huangfu Song's troops were less than 30,000.
If the 50,000 captives were included, there would be 80,000 mouths.
By then, the amount of grain consumed every day would be astronomical.
Moreover, leaving so many surrendered soldiers behind would require a portion of the army to guard them, which was a waste of military power.
"This matter is simple."
"Zi Yang has a method that can not only solve the need for food and grass, but also add ten thousand elite soldiers to the Han army.”
Qin Yi smiled when he heard this.
"What method?"
Upon hearing Qin Yi's words, Huangfu Song and Zhu Xi, who were originally worried about the surrendered soldiers, immediately turned their heads to look.
"In fact, most of these Yellow Turban soldiers did not rebel voluntarily.”
"Among them, many were bound or forced.”
"If we could give them a stable life, why would they rebel?”
Qin Yi said to Huangfu Song and Zhu Rong after he roughly thought about it.
"What do you want to say?"
Huangfu Song nodded slightly when he heard this.
Although he was loyal to the burly man, he understood the burly man's current situation, so he nodded.
"Therefore, Zi Yang wants to select 10,000 strong men from the 50,000 captives to supplement the army.”
"As for the others, most of them are the old, weak, women, and children. They can't make a name for themselves. As long as they are given a stable lifestyle, they will once again become citizens of the Great Han Dynasty.”
Qin Yi said with a glint in his eyes.
"In this way, not only can the army gain 10,000 soldiers for no reason, but it can also make some of the Yellow Turban soldiers who didn't want to make trouble think of surrendering.”
"However, they are traitors after all.”
Hearing Qin Yi's words, Huangfu Song wanted to say something but hesitated.
"If uncle is willing to let Zi Yang handle this matter, Zi Yang promises to solve the problem of those surrendered soldiers.”
Qin Yi said seriously.
"In that case, I'll let you handle it.”
"The future belongs to the young.”
Huangfu Song seemed to have aged a lot as he waved his hand and said.
