Empire

Chapter 19

"Ziang, what if those prisoners of war are unwilling to join our rebel army?"

After thinking for a while, the leader Chen Ru asked a sharp question.

Chen Ziang laughed and said,"If they are unwilling to join our rebel army, then release them."

""Ah?"

After hearing this, Chen Xiaoyu was also stunned. She didn't expect Chen Ziang to come up with such a bad idea.

"We have finally defeated them and captured them. If we let them go, wouldn't it be like letting a tiger return to the mountain? What if they take up arms and fight us again?"Chen Xiaoyu couldn't help but speak. Chen Ziang shook his head and said,"We can't just look at the bad side of a problem, we have to think about the good side too."

Chen Xiaoyu raised his head unconvinced, staring at Chen Ziang and said,"Then tell me, what are the benefits?"

"There are many benefits.

Chen Ziang smiled and bowed to the leader Chen Ru, and continued to explain

"Those Dynasty Army soldiers who were unwilling to join our team, after we let them go, they would never dare to return to the army, because if they lost the battle, according to Dynasty Army regulations, they would be beheaded. Although it was a draw of ten to kill one, who knew if they would be drawn."

After hearing what Chen Ziang said, the leader Chen Ru also nodded. He knew a little about the Dynasty Army's military law. Once the troops lost the battle, there was a chance to draw ten to kill one, which was considered a punishment.

"Therefore, even if we let them go, they will just flee back to their hometowns and will not become our enemies again."

"Even if they were captured by the dynasty army and continued to serve as soldiers, after all, they were defeated by us. Knowing how powerful we are, would they still be foolish enough to fight and die with us?"

"Maybe they will spread the word about our strength and shake the morale of the Dynasty Army."

"Besides, if we let go of those Dynasty soldiers who are unwilling to join our rebel army, it will show our benevolence, and those Dynasty soldiers who escaped death will also be grateful for our grace of not killing them."

Chen Ziang spoke eloquently, which made the leader Chen Ru's eyes light up. He didn't expect that there are so many reasons to deal with prisoners of war.

In the past, when they captured prisoners of war from the Dynasty Army, they almost killed them all to boost the morale of the army.

But now after hearing what Chen Ziang said, if they just killed them like this, it would make their rebel army look cruel.

"Therefore, I beg the chief to order the pardon of the captured prisoners of war, and to give those who are willing to leave the army travel expenses, and those who are unwilling to leave, I am willing to accept them as my subordinates!"Chen Ziang clasped his fists and said

"Father, just agree to it."

Chen Xiaoyu originally came to beg the leader Chen Ru not to kill the prisoners of war, so now she naturally joined in.

"In this case, I will make an exception and pardon these prisoners of war."

After thinking about it, Chen Ru could not resist his beloved daughter Chen Xiaoyu's coquettish behavior, so he agreed.

"Thank you, Dad——"Chen Xiaoyu laughed.

Chen Ru immediately ordered:"Zi'ang, the matter of the prisoners of war will be left to you."

""Yes!"

Chen Ziang stepped forward to accept the order, and Chen Xiaoyu also smiled and looked very happy.

Chen Ziang and Chen Xiaoyu immediately said goodbye and walked out of the military tent, ready to deal with the prisoners of war.

"Are you the Chen Ziang who killed the general and captured the flag?"

On the way, Chen Xiaoyu looked Chen Ziang up and down very happily and took the initiative to break the silence.

Chen Ziang smiled and said,"It's the real deal."

"Why do you look so thin and skinny? You don't look like someone who can capture a general or a flag."

Chen Ziang raised his eyebrows and said provocatively,"How about we find a place to practice?"

Chen Xiaoyu was also a proud person. Facing Chen Ziang's provocative gaze, she immediately became competitive.

"Let's practice, I've never been afraid of anyone!" Chen Xiaoyu agreed immediately.

Soon, Chen Ziang and Chen Xiaoyu found an open space and stood opposite each other to prepare for a fight.

The surrounding rebel soldiers also knew Chen Xiaoyu, and were familiar with Chen Ziang, the famous young officer, and soon surrounded her.

"What are they doing?"

"fight?"

"Miss Chen is really amazing"

"Why would our boss mess with this tigress?"

"Our boss is not afraid of killing generals and seizing flags on the battlefield, so why would he be afraid of her?"......

Wang Hu and others also looked strange when they saw Chen Ziang and Chen Xiaoyu wanted to compete.

"Place your bets! Place your bets!"

Before Chen Xiaoyu and Chen Ziang started to compete, Lao Liu, who was eager to watch the fun, picked up his helmet and started shouting and opening the betting table.

"I defeated Chen Ziang with thousands of generals!"

"I think General Chen Xiaoyu is more powerful!"

Soon, the surrounding rebel soldiers surrendered one after another, leaving Chen Ziang speechless.

"Let's get started."

Seeing the rebel soldiers around him joining in the fun, Chen Ziang didn't bother to pay attention to them and clasped his fists towards Chen Xiaoyu.

"That's a sin.——"

After Chen Xiaoyu finished speaking, she drew out the sword from her waist, and her aura suddenly changed.

If Chen Xiaoyu was a heroic female officer just now, now she was like an ice spike growing in the ice, chilling people.

Chen Ziang looked Chen Xiaoyu up and down, and drew out his own sword. His aura suddenly changed, like a sharp sword.

""Kill!"

Chen Xiaoyu shouted, and her body was like a cannonball, launching an attack towards Chen Ziang at lightning speed. The sword in Chen Xiaoyu's hand was extremely sharp, and she went straight to Chen Ziang's face.

Chen Ziang sneered, holding the sword with both hands, waiting for the opportunity, and raised his sword high to fight.

""Clang!"

The first round of swords clashed between the two sides, and a series of sparks burst out. Neither side could do anything to the other.

Chen Ziang felt the force transmitted back from the sword, and was secretly shocked. He didn't expect that this little girl was really not an embroidered pillow.

Soon, the two sides fought together again, their figures swayed, and the swords kept knocking against each other, which dazzled the surrounding rebel soldiers.

After more than ten rounds of fighting, Chen Ziang had already figured out Chen Xiaoyu's sword techniques.

"Be careful."

Chen Ziang quickly launched a violent counterattack against Chen Xiaoyu. This round of counterattack left Chen Xiaoyu breathless and she was soon defeated.

"Humph, I lost."

Chen Xiaoyu was a straightforward and decisive woman. Seeing that she couldn't beat Chen Ziang, she immediately surrendered, but her little mouth was pouted high.

"The boss is awesome!"

""Boss, you are so awesome!"

Seeing Chen Ziang defeat the always aggressive Chen Xiaoyu, the surrounding old camp officers and soldiers all cheered.

"What, you guys want to fight me too?"

Chen Xiaoyu heard the clamor of the rebels around him, and immediately raised her eyebrows and looked around with an extremely unfriendly look.

"Um, ouch, my stomach hurts, I'm leaving now......"

Soon, the rebels who came to watch the fun dispersed, leaving only Wang Hu and others. Although Chen Ziang defeated Chen Xiaoyu, it did not mean that they were not afraid of this fierce and fierce tigress.

"Bah, you coward."

Chen Xiaoyu couldn't help spitting when she saw the people running away.

"I didn't expect you to be so good."

Although Chen Xiaoyu felt bad about losing to Chen Ziang, he still looked at Chen Ziang with admiration.

"Hehe, our boss is good in many ways."

The old six who made a lot of money couldn't help but interrupt, his words were full of ridicule.

After hearing this, Chen Xiaoyu looked at Wang Hu and others who were laughing, and her face suddenly turned red, and then covered with frost. Without saying a word, she rushed up and kicked the old six to the ground, beating him so hard that he quickly begged for mercy.

"Boss, help, help."

Seeing Lao Liu being beaten by Chen Xiaoyu, Chen Ziang walked over to pick up the gambling money on the ground and sneered,"Gambling in the military camp, all gambling money will be confiscated."
