Bai Feng's efforts last night were not in vain.
Not to mention anything else, just the 80 centurions that were selected yesterday were enough to give Bai Feng a pleasant surprise!
Naturally, it was impossible for each of these centurions to manage a hundred people.
Otherwise, the mere 70,000 Jiangdong Army prisoners would not be enough!
After a day of interrogation yesterday, he had a rough estimate of the number of prisoners in this group.
That was about seventy-three thousand people.
No matter what, in the chaotic situation last night, no one could guarantee that everyone could be gathered.
It was possible that some of the Jiangdong Army took advantage of the chaos to escape or were not chased back to the barracks directly.
Bai Feng originally thought that it would be considered a success if he could capture 30,000 to 50,000 people this time.
He did not expect that the Jiangdong Army was weaker than he thought!
The battle in the middle of the night was over.
A night of "spies" directly and completely destroyed the morale of the Jiangdong Army!
Not only that, but it also made Bai Feng have many more die-hard followers!
Although this kind of die-hard loyalty was somewhat suspected of coercion and bribery.
This group of people had already tasted the benefits, so they would slowly become his capable subordinates!
However, Bai Feng really did not expect that there would be so many people in the small gathering place that had problems last night. It directly reached nearly 30% of the captured people!
Fortunately, they were eliminated at the first moment.
Otherwise, when chaos broke out in this camp, it would affect the other camps.
Many camps were in chaos together, and Bai Feng's army was not gathered together.
The losses caused would definitely be greater than attacking the Jiangdong Army!
Among the many people captured last night, except for a few who directly resisted and escaped, the rest were directly captured.
Bai Feng was still useful today!
After resting for a while and having breakfast, Ye Zichen took a deep breath.
Only then did he walk unhurriedly to the group of people who were tied together.
In this group of people, a few were sitting quietly with their eyes closed. The rest were frightened and uneasy, and there were also people whose expressions were filled with anger.
Of course, more people's eyes were numb and gloomy.
Lying on the side, he did not care about the situation around him and quietly waited for death.
"I remember that you weren't this quiet when we caught you yesterday."
"A few of them were even prepared to say something righteous."
"Why is it so quiet now?"
"Are you prepared to die?"
Bai Feng's voice drifted to the captives.
In an instant, those who were resting with their eyes closed immediately opened their eyes!
There were a few who wanted to move, but they were kicked down by the guards at the side!
There were also many people who were twisting their bodies, trying to catch a glimpse of Bai Feng.
Last night, despite the moonlight, the things that couldn't be seen clearly were still unclear.
Today, she finally saw Bai Feng's face clearly.
In this small chaos, there was one sentence that was particularly jarring.
"General Bai, if you have something to say, just say it!"
The person who spoke was one of the people who had been resting with his eyes closed.
Bai Feng nodded.
He seemed to be a smart man.
However, smart people did not necessarily have to stay.
Bai Feng pointed at the person who spoke.
"Kill him!"
After a few whooshing sounds of arrows piercing through the air, the smart man who had been calm and collected now widened his eyes in shock.
He was speechless for a long time.
After letting out a few painful groans, he fell to the ground and did not get up.
The people around him seemed to be frozen.
They did not dare to move at all!
"Look, I didn't even ask you to start talking.
You're asking me directly now. Aren't you not giving me face? "
Bai Feng waved his hand, and the people around him came forward to carry the corpse away.
The sound of dragging the corpse and the blood in the middle made the others shudder involuntarily.
"Who among you is a descendant of an aristocratic family?"
Bai Feng asked calmly. There was no expression on his face.
Everyone looked at each other.
Descendant of an aristocratic family?
What was Bai Feng trying to do??
Could it be that he wanted to deal with the aristocratic families in Jiangdong?
Or did he want to see who was a descendant of an aristocratic family and ask the aristocratic families' attitude towards him?
These people who were caught were not necessarily stupid.
It was just that they did not expect there to be so many spies.
Now that Bai Feng had asked them this question, they would naturally think about it carefully. If they wanted to survive, they would have to understand what Bai Feng wanted to do.
If Bai Feng wanted to ally with the aristocratic families in Jiangdong, then there was still room for negotiation. They could even seek some benefits for their families.
As for what they had done before, at most, their families would have to pay a small price.
This price was more like a proof of allegiance to them. This proof of allegiance could also guarantee that the aristocratic families in Jiangdong would have a better relationship with this Great General of Wei Kingdom.
However, if Bai Feng did not want to ally with the aristocratic families in Jiangdong, but wanted to deal with them directly, then they would have to be very careful with their answers.
After everyone was silent for a moment, one of them directly said:
"This one is!"
With the first, there was naturally a second.
Next, more than 20 people stepped forward one after another, all claiming to be descendants of aristocratic families.
Bai Feng waited for a while. Seeing that no one else stepped forward, he directly said:
"Do you want to live?"
Everyone was silent.
They did not know what Bai Feng wanted to do.
Previously, he asked about their aristocratic families. Now, he asked if they wanted to live.
Could it be that he wanted the aristocratic families to ransom them?
Don't even think about it!
Aristocratic families could be ruined, could be dispirited, and could be swallowed up by bigger aristocratic families.
But they could not lose the face of the aristocratic families!
This was the root of the aristocratic families!
It was the most important thing in the aristocratic families!
In the aristocratic families' circle, the children of the aristocratic families could eat, drink, and be dissolute.
The families could raise them.
What if it was useful?
But they absolutely could not allow problems that would ruin the family's reputation!
For example, you could surrender. Even surrendering to the enemy on the other side was allowed!
If you could do well on the other side, the family would even give you some support.
For example, in the Three Kingdoms period, there was a strategist with the surname Zhuge in Wei, Shu, and Wu.
This did not affect Zhuge Liang's high position in the slightest!
Acting according to the plate, betting on both sides, and double-dealing were all allowed by the aristocratic families.
But after you surrendered, you were threatened with ransom …
Shameful!
Why didn't you just die?
It was not your fault if you surrendered, but if someone asked for ransom! You should just bang your head against the wall and die!
If you paid the ransom, you would be laughed at by all the aristocratic families for a long time!
If you did not pay the ransom, you would also be laughed at by the other aristocratic families for not even having money!
In a dilemma, the best way was to let the captive die directly!
It was impossible that Bai Feng did not know about this.
