C1217 Kill Them All
After Tang Zhan and Ouyang Shengnan left, Gou Bei Beggar said, "Fellow brothers and sisters, I don't think it's appropriate for us to claim the credit of the gods, right?"
The Beggar felt guilty.
"Not appropriate?" Huo Dongye sneered and said, "In your opinion, what should we do? Report? "
"Then tell Tang Zhan and the others that we didn't kill Xi Kuang."
"The four of us were defeated by Xi Kuang and were chased by him. We became deserters and even used more than a thousand vanguard troops as cannon fodder to buy time for us to escape?"
Facing Huo Dongye's aggressive rhetoric, the Beggar was instantly stunned.
Because what Huo Dongye said was the truth.
Once the truth was reported, not to mention the Four Great Generals of the Central Plains becoming street rats, everyone would want to beat them up.
Even if they returned to the Four Great Generals of the Central Plains, they would not be able to account for it.
"Of course," Huo Dongye continued, "if you have a better idea, you can say it!"
However, how could Gou Beibei have a better idea?
"That's why!" Huo Dongye reached out and patted Gou Bei Beggar's shoulder, consoling him. "Junior apprentice-brother Gou, this is the best method!"
"That deity and Xi Kuang were buried together in the quicksand. There is no chance of survival!"
"No one knows that we are the ones who falsely claim the credit!"
"Senior Martial Brother Huo is right!" Yan Nandi nodded in agreement, "Since that god is dead, someone must come out and accept the credit, right?"
"Rather than letting others take the credit, why don't we take it!"
"Besides, we've also contributed to killing Xi Kuang, haven't we?"
"Can we think of it that way?" At this time, Lin Zhongzun also said, "It was because we had a great battle with Xi Kuang that we had consumed a great deal of his combat strength that the True God was able to perish together with him!"
"Now that the True God is dead, I believe that he also hopes that we can take his place and claim the credit!"
Huo Dongye and Yan Nandi raised their thumbs at Lin Zhongzun's words.
Even Gou Bei, the Beggar, was convinced by Lin Zhongzun's twisted logic.
"There's one more thing that we have to deal with right now!" Huo Dongye's mind lit up and he said, "We took the credit of killing Xi Kuang, and although the one thousand vanguard unit was completely wiped out, but the mercenaries and assassins under Xi Kuang witnessed it all! "
"All of them must die!"
...
On the other hand.
Tang Zhan and Ouyang ShengNan were cleaning up the battlefield.
Especially the mercenaries and assassins left behind by Xi Kuang. There were quite a number of them, more than ten thousand of them.
These people had all become prisoners.
After Xi Kuang fell, these mercenaries and assassins all lost their fighting spirit. They could only let Tang Zhan and the others take advantage of them.
Although their numbers might not lose to Tang Zhan's army, once their fighting spirit was lost, their fighting strength would also be lost.
Under the care of the Great Xia soldiers, these captives walked out listlessly.
"Hurry up, follow them!" Tang Zhan was also cleaning up the prisoners, urging them to follow.
When he saw that there were still people chatting among the prisoners, Tang Zhan immediately berated them." Hey, what are you guys muttering about? Are you discussing how to escape? "
" I dare not! I dare not!" The captives hurriedly waved their hands and shook their heads. "General, please do not misunderstand. We have already become your captives. How can we still dare to escape?"
"Then why are you whispering?" Tang Zhan said discontentedly.
"General, we are sighing with emotion. We did not expect Great Xia to have such an expert that could fight with Lord Xi Kuang!" The captives replied.
The words of the captives were unanimously agreed by the other captives.
Seeing the respect on the faces of all the captives, Tang Zhan could not help but feel proud. He nodded and said, "After all, they are the last disciples of the Four Unique Experts of the Central Plains. It is not surprising that they are able to suppress Western Kuang!"
" It is not an exaggeration to say that the Four Unique Experts in the central plateaus were born to kill Western Kuang!"
All the captives were stunned when they heard Tang Zhan.
How did the person who killed Xi Kuang become the Four Unyielding Experts of the Central Plains?
The Four Unyielding Experts of the Central Plains were like ants and elephants in front of Xi Kuang. They could only be ravaged by him.
The most ridiculous thing was that the Four Unyielding Experts of the Central Plains had sold out more than a thousand advance troops in order to avoid being hunted down by Xi Kuang. They had made them cannon fodder to buy time for their escape.
Such a person wanted to kill Xi Kuang?
"General..."
The captives were about to speak.
"Cough! Cough!" At this moment, four people walked in from outside.
They were the Four Unyielding Experts of the Central Plains.
Seeing the faces of the Four Unyielding Experts of the Central Plains glowing red, these captives immediately understood. It must be the Four Unyielding Experts of the Central Plains who took the risk of killing Xi Kuang.
Too shameless!
The captives despised the Four Unyielding Experts of the Central Plains in their hearts.
Huo Dongye glanced at the crowd and asked Tang Zhan, "General Tang, are all the captives here?"
"Yes, four!" Tang Zhan answered respectfully, "They are all subordinates of Xi Kuang. Now that Xi Kuang has fallen, they are naturally our captives!"
"What do you plan to do with these captives?" Huo Dongye asked again.
"Based on the rules of Great Xia, we will be willing to send the prisoners that are willing to surrender to Great Xia into the army or send them to labor to be remodeled!" Ouyang ShengNan, who was standing at the side, said.
"In other words, all of them can live?" Huo Dongye continued to ask.
"Yes!" Ouyang Shengnan nodded and said, "Except for a few stubborn ones!"
"No!" Huo Dongye's eyes flickered with an intense killing intent. He waved his hand and said, "Leave no one alive. Kill them all!"
"Kill them all?" Ouyang Shengnan was startled. He hurriedly shook his head and said, "That won't do!"
After all, there were over ten thousand prisoners.
If all of them were killed, it would be no different from a massacre.2
Furthermore, according to the rules of Great Xia, there had never been a large-scale massacre of prisoners.
"Why not?" Huo Dongye coldly said, "General Ouyang, you must understand that these prisoners were all unpardonable criminals in the past. After following Xi Kuang, they were even demons that killed without blinking their eyes!"
"Furthermore, their numbers are so large that it is extremely difficult to manage them! If they harbor ill intentions and become fickle and cause a huge disaster, who would dare to bear the responsibility? "
"You?"
Ouyang Shengnan was stunned.
In history, it was not uncommon for prisoners to fake surrender and counterattack.
However, Great Xia had always treated people with kindness. Even if the other party committed a heinous crime in Great Xia, Great Xia treated them with preferential treatment.
Hence, when Huo Dongye asked this question, Ouyang Shengnan did not know what to do.
"Why don't we bring them back to the capital and ask the Dragon Group to judge them?" Tang Zhan suggested.
