Chapter 1690: Procrastination

"This is the case, the granary of the Qin army near the hometown has been burned to nothing by me, although there are some villagers nearby, but that bit of food is not enough for tens of thousands of people to eat, for this war, a large amount of grain has been levied in all parts of Chudi, I am afraid that it will not be sent in a short time, if you want to get grain and grass, I am afraid you can only kill in Sichuan, Chengdu has a lot of grain. Shangguan Jian knew Ye Shikai's situation, and how to deal with the seventy or eighty thousand Qin troops was indeed a headache.

"Our army has won a big victory, and there is not much left of the Qin army in central Sichuan, but Chengdu is thousands of miles away, even if it is day and night, it will not be there in a month. Ye Shikai sighed bitterly, he had already broken his head, and he couldn't think of how to raise so much food.

"If these 70,000 or 80,000 people are not handled well, it is very likely to cause chaos, and we have finally won the victory, and we must not make any extraneous branches, so we must think of a perfect plan. Ye Shikai muttered.

"What is the opinion of the military division? ”

"Xu Junshi persuaded me to kill these prisoners of war, and even chose the location. ”

The two were silent for a while, although Shangguan Jian had fought countless battles, he had never seen so many people killed at once, let alone that it was his turn to do this kind of thing now.

"Lao Ye, the military advisor also said that this is the next policy, if there is another way, the military advisor will not suggest that you kill the prisoners of war. Shangguan Jian said softly.

"Back then, the Qin general Bai Qikeng killed 400,000 Zhao troops, and the six countries were shocked, and after that, when the government and the opposition of the six countries heard the name of Bai Qi, they were all terrified, and I didn't expect that I had encountered the same situation as him. Ye Shikai laughed at himself, when he met Bai Qi's "energy body" in the ruins of Chang'an, the two people who were separated by thousands of years had a "one-sided relationship", but now, Ye Shikai encountered the same dilemma as Bai Qi back then, which may also be destined.

"Lao Ye, if you really do this, your name will also be known to everyone in the future. ”

"Forget it, let me think about it alone, this matter is too important, Shangguan, the end of the war, and there are many finishing chores, you can handle it for me. Ye Shikai waved his hand, and his tone sounded a little tired.

"Wow. ”

Ye Shikai has not slept all night, has been thinking about how to end, now that he thinks about it, he would rather these Qin troops fight to the death, at least give him a reason to do it, but Xu Zhi has taken the initiative to surrender, the world knows, in this way, if Ye Shikai decides to kill again, he will definitely be spurned by the world.

The next day, the tent.

"At present, our army has won a great victory, and the road to Sichuan has been completely opened, first occupy the pass of Hanzhong into Sichuan, and then take Chengdu, our army will win a complete victory. ”

"Yes, this time, our army almost bloodlessly defeated the defense of 100,000 Qin troops, and this battle will definitely be famous all over the world. ”

"All the generals are here. Ye Shikai walked into the tent, dozens of generals had already arrived, and when they saw someone coming, they immediately stood on both sides.

"General. ”

"General Ye. ”

"What are you talking about, it's so lively. Ye Shikai said lightly, the faces of the generals were already full of "joy", after such a big victory, they were naturally happy, the most important thing is that the 100,000 Qin army was solved, and the remaining garrison of Bashu was less than 50,000, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled, facing the nearly 200,000 high-morale Chu army, there was almost no resistance, that is to say, Bashu was almost already in the bag.

"General, our army has won a great victory, and the morale of the sergeants is high, and the generals are naturally happy. Xu Jia slowly stood up, and several generals nearby hurriedly turned sideways to get out of the way, after this battle, the "old qualified" generals who were dissatisfied with Xu Jia before couldn't help but begin to be in awe of the young military division in front of them.

"In addition, what should be done with those prisoners of war of the Qin army, and whether the general has made a decision. Xu Jia continued to ask, and suddenly "blocked" Ye Shikai's words, Xu Jia said this, obviously forcing him to make a decision.

"Ahem, how to deal with the seventy or eighty thousand prisoners of war, the matter is very high, the general thinks that it is not possible to make a rash decision, the most important thing at the moment is to march into Sichuan, take advantage of the victory to pursue, occupy the two counties of Bashu as soon as possible, and do not give the Qin army a chance to breathe. Ye Shikai's words turned around, "General Wang Lian, General Zhang Lan, order the two of you to lead 30,000 troops each, occupy the pass north of Bashu, block the passage from Hanzhong to Sichuan, and not let a single Qin soldier enter Sichuan." ”

"Wow. ”

"Wow. ”

"Mancang, you lead 30,000 troops, as a forward, immediately march towards Chengdu. ”

"Wow. ”

"Shangguan Jian, you lead 50,000 troops, as the Chinese army, and enter Sichuan together. ”

"Wow. ”

"General, please wait a minute. Suddenly, Xu Jia stood up and stopped Ye Shikai.

"Is there anything else going on with the military advisor? Ye Shikai asked rhetorically.

"As the commander of the whole army, the general must personally lead the Chinese army, so that the morale of the army can be stabilized. Xu Jia suggested.

"Okay, Shangguan Jian, I will lead the Chinese army into Sichuan, and you will take the rest of the troops as the rear guard and be responsible for guarding these prisoners of war. Ye Shikai commanded.

"Well, the last general is ordered. ”

……………………………………………………………

"Shangguan, this time I led the Chinese army into Sichuan, if as expected, I will be able to pacify Bashu in less than a month or two, and then I can return to Linxiang, you will take 40,000 guards to guard the 70,000 or 80,000 Qin army, no problem. Ye Shikai asked.

"Lao Ye, you can rest assured, there will be no problem. ”

"In addition, you must guard these prisoners of war, and if you don't have my orders, whoever wants to deal with them, you must stop them. Ye Shikai said in his ear, when the camp was in session, why did Xu Jia suddenly ask Ye Shikai to lead the Chinese army into Sichuan, the purpose was obviously to transfer him, because once Ye Shikai personally managed these prisoners of war, then no one could move them, and now most of the generals in the army suggested the execution of these prisoners of war, and I am afraid that Ye Shikai was the only one who was in favor of keeping them, so he could only delay first.

"Rest assured. ”

"That's good. Ye Shikai nodded and said, Shangguan Jian is his confidant, and only by handing over this task to him can Ye Shikai rest assured.

In addition to reading the battle report, Ye Shikai also always paid attention to the movement of the Great Wall in the north, and listened to the report of the dark guard, the progress of the war was quite smooth, the Qin army sent by Xianyang will be able to arrive next month, and Meng Tian has no worries, and on the other hand, the Chu army led by Ye Shikai can also occupy the entire territory of Bashu in one or two months.

"Command the whole army, day and night, to speed up. ”

"Wow. ”
