Chapter 1689: A dilemma

"That's good, you're adding fire these days, and you definitely want to make the Qin army uneasy. Ye Shikai nodded and said, this is exactly the effect he wants.

"No problem, the general will see. After Mancang finished speaking, he picked up his sword and rushed out, "It's going to be a rotation attack soon, and this time I'll personally lead the team." ”

Normal people will be weak even if they don't sleep for a day, let alone for four or five days in a row, maybe things will go more smoothly than Ye Shikai.

Three days later.

Chu army, camp.

"After entering Sichuan, the troops are divided into three routes, all the way north to seize the pass, this is the only way for Hanzhong to enter Bashu, once the pass is snatched, the Qin army can not reinforce, the main force all the way to Chengdu, there is the important place of Bashu, the last way to the south, in case the barbarians enter Sichuan, remember, the whole army must strictly abide by military discipline, not to disturb the people, but also not to kill, burn and loot, violators will not be killed. ”

"Wow. ”

"Wow. ”

"Report ...... Reporting to the general, a Qin army envoy came from outside the door. Suddenly, a guard walked into the camp tent and said to Ye Shikai.

"Let him in. Ye Shikai said lightly.

"Wow. ”

It didn't take long for the envoys of the Qin army to be brought into the camp.

"See General Ye. ”

"Get up. Ye Shikai sat on the main seat, said coldly, took out his sword, and the scabbard smashed on the ground and made a sound, which made everyone present tremble.

"Thank you, General. ”

"You should be the messenger sent by Xu Zhi, I'm busy, if you have something, just say it." Ye Shikai doesn't talk nonsense, straight to the point, if he guessed correctly, Xu Zhi sent a messenger, he must have wanted to come over for peace talks, he had already thought of this, after all, if he took the initiative to surrender, the court would definitely "behead him", but he couldn't beat it now, and he didn't have to eat, so the best way was to try peace talks.

"General Xu wants to make peace with General Ye. ”

"Haha. ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Ye Shikai laughed, but also more than 20 generals in the battalion, and they also laughed.

"Xu Zhi's brain was kicked by a horse, and he still wants to make peace with us in the current battle situation. Ye Shikai pulled out his saber suddenly, used his internal force, and instantly rushed to the Qin army envoy, with the blade of the sword against his neck.

"The general spares his life. The envoy of the Qin army thought that Ye Shikai was going to kill him, and the speed was so fast that he was so frightened that he fell directly to the ground.

"Don't worry, the two armies are at war and won't kill you, so I won't kill you. ”

"Multi-...... Thank you, General. ”

"Okay, enough has been said, if you want peace talks, you need capital, you don't have this capital, don't expect peace talks, you go back and tell Xu Zhi, let him personally open the village and surrender, otherwise...... Within three days, I guarantee that no one in your camp will survive. Ye Shikai put away his sword, the messenger was already frightened, and he walked out of the camp with the support of the guards.

"Even the envoy is so angry, it seems that Qin Jun is really frightened. Xu Jia slowly stood up, with a smug look on her face.

"Once the army runs out of food and grass, even if the fighting spirit is high, it is powerless to resist, Xu Zhi sent a messenger to negotiate peace today, presumably because the rations in the camp have been almost eaten, and tomorrow they will kill the war horse to satisfy their hunger, and Xu Zhi is not a fool, the current situation, they can no longer have reinforcements, and it is pointless to hold on. ”

This time, Ye Shikai's prediction was correct, the day after the envoy returned, Xu Zhi really opened the village and surrendered.

One hundred thousand Qin troops, took off their armor, put down their weapons, and walked out of the camp with a disgraced face, they all looked very haggard, hungry and tired, of course, after all, they hadn't slept well for a few days, and they were probably hungry for a long time.

"General Ye. At this time, a general slowly came to him, "Under is Xu Zhi, surrender to General Ye today, hoping that the general will have a large number and spare the brothers their lives." ”

"Your people look very hungry, Mancang, you tell the man to cook porridge and steam some steamed buns for them to eat. Ye Shikai said lightly.

"Wow. ”

"Thank you, General, thank you, General. Xu Zhi said again and again, and was taken down by a few Chu soldiers.

"General Wang, have you counted the number of people? Ye Shikai asked.

"There is a roster of sergeants in the Qin army, about seventy or eighty thousand people. Wang Lian replied.

"General, there are so many people, they have to eat thousands of stones of grain and grass every day, and we still have 200,000 troops to eat and drink, and if we continue like this, I am afraid it will not be enough to eat. Xu Jia's face was sad, he had known him for so long, he had always been calm and confident, this was the first time Ye Shikai had seen him embarrassed, this is also, after all, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, let alone feed nearly 300,000 people now.

"Strategist, are we really helpless? Ye Shikai is unwilling to do this from the bottom of his heart, he thinks that he is not a savior, but he is born as a human being, he should do something that a "person" should do, and it is already a supreme merit to save a person, if he has the ability, of course he is willing to save more people, not kill people, but Xu Jia asked him to order the killing of these seventy or eighty thousand Qin troops.

Mancang asked the sergeants to take out porridge and steamed buns, and those hungry and crazy Qin troops rushed up and grabbed food frantically, although they were enemies on the battlefield, but now that they have surrendered, at least they are still individuals.

"General don't hesitate, we give them a bite to eat now, they can still live, but how long can we feed them, if they are put back, they will be reconvened immediately to form a new force, and when the time comes, how much will our army pay when it enters Sichuan, please think twice. Xu Jia continued to persuade.

"Alright, let me think about it. Ye Shikai was in a state of confusion, waved his hand, and returned to the camp alone, these days he had ordered to build four empty camps as the "prisoner of war camp" for these Qin troops, and after the Qin army came out to surrender, they were all locked inside.

Late at night.

"Lao Ye, I'm back. ”

"Shangguan, great, you're finally back. When Ye Shikai saw the visitor, he stepped forward and gave a big hug.

"Well, it's not a big loss. ”

"Where there was any loss, we went around to the back of the Qin army, burned their granaries, blocked their way, but they didn't even dare to break through the camp gate. Shangguan Jian laughed loudly: "I heard that all the seventy or eighty thousand Qin troops have surrendered, which is a great achievement." ”

"Yes, it's a great achievement, but to be honest, it's also a hot potato. Ye Shikai smiled bitterly.

"What the hell is wrong, Lao Ye, do you have any difficulties. ”

"Of course, after surrendering seventy or eighty thousand Qin troops at once, our army's food and grass are not abundant, and it can't support so many people at all. ”
