Chapter 2098 Captives

Grandpa Zhen Guogong nodded, "Yes! But don't worry, this time we have won the big week, and the Heichi Kingdom in the north will not dare to act rashly! After all, they still have many nobles and prisoners in the land. We have it in our hands!"

Hearing this, Sun Yingying asked curiously, "Grandfather, what should we do with these Heichi prisoners?"

Duke Zhen Guo replied with contempt and arrogance: "Of course they must submit a letter to surrender, and they must also pay the year's coins and send the hostages over!"

Hearing this, Sun Yingying asked back slightly: "That's all? Are the captives and the nobles of Heichi Country just put back like this?"

Grandpa Zhen Guogong nodded, "Of course! Otherwise, these nearly 100,000 prisoners consume a large amount of our food every day. The longer we stay, the less cost-effective we are!"

Hearing this, Sun Yingying looked disapproving, "Grandfather, why do I think you and the court are not thinking well! And I think it's a bit silly! Think about the person who captured our Da Zhou in Heichi country. How did you do it?"

Hearing this, Duke Zhen Guo was slightly taken aback, "If the army is captured, the people of Heichi will not be merciful at all, and will slaughter them directly, so as not to waste their food! As for the civilians, they will all become slaves on the side of Heichi! "

Sun Yingying was a little sad to hear this, "Then why didn't you just attack the soldiers of Heichi Kingdom?"

The old man of Zhen Guogong shook his head, "Don't chase the poor gangsters, and jump over the wall! If you kill their leader and force them to surrender, we can also win sooner!"

Although Sun Yingying understood, she felt that the follow-up approach was not desirable.

Sun Yingying continued: "If you put these strong troops back, they will become an important force in Heichi Nation! If one trades off the other, then compared to our Da Zhou, there will be many more hostile forces.

Since he ate so much food in our big week, he should have the self-consciousness of being a prisoner! Let them use the money to redeem it, so that the people of Heichi Nation can suffer!

There was a reason why Heichi Nation started wars so easily in the past! Because they fail, they don't pay much; if they succeed, they earn more! "

Hearing Sun Yingying's words, the old man of Zhen Guogong thought about it carefully, and found that what his granddaughter said made some sense.

The old man of Zhen Guogong asked again: "Yingying, you are a very smart child, and you have a flexible mind. Think about how to deal with it, so that our Da Zhou can get enough benefits and weaken the Heichi Kingdom?"

Sun Yingying smiled and said in a deep voice, "It's actually very simple, the war between the two countries is nothing but a benefit! Even if we won the Great Week in the past, it would not have much benefit, so the more we fight, the more empty the treasury will be.

As a result, many ministers opposed the war and advocated peace. This further fueled the arrogance of the Heichi Kingdom. For the sake of stability, the imperial court often accepted such advice.

This time, let's do the opposite, and we won't let these prisoners go easily! I want their noble generals and soldiers to go back and redeem them with money! Originally a prisoner, not a guest. How can they come and go when they want! "

Hearing this, the old man of Zhen Guogong was also stunned. After thinking for a moment, he felt that it was reasonable, but he felt that it was very different from before, "Is it unethical to spend money to redeem it?"
