Chapter 289: Exploiting the Surrender Army
"It's a pity that the general of the Qin Dynasty, Jian Tonghe, ran away!"
After waiting for a while, General Lian Po ran over and said with some regret.
Xu Wen's eyes fell on General Lian Po, and he shook his head.
"It's okay, let's check first, how many soldiers have died in this battle."
Xu Wen spoke, and General Lian Po immediately fell silent when he heard this.
There was also no excitement after the victory.
Immediately, someone went to count the number of people.
After about ten minutes, the number of people was counted.
"Report to the commander, the death toll is a total of 17,300."
The person who came spoke seriously.
After Xu Wen heard this, his pupils couldn't help but shrink, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
Even if this time the battle ended so quickly, it could even be called a success, after all, they were surrounded and tricked.
As a result, the death toll was still beyond Xu Wen's expectations.
80,000 people, a total of 17,000 dead.
"Go and count the number of people who have surrendered to the army."
Xu Wen then spoke, this time the loss of numbers is not small, of course, if he can, Xu Wen can find the next location and wait for Zhao Jun's support.
However, this comes and goes, and I don't know how much time it will take, so Xu Wen can't wait.
If not, we can only use these surrendered people in just a few days to play their due role.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the army will be reduced to about 20,000."
The person who came spoke seriously.
"Escort them up first, and then go to the next town."
Xu Wen spoke, and everyone immediately took action.
After about an hour, there was a small town, and the people stopped.
"Wang Hong, take a thousand people back to the previous battlefield and bury the corpses of the soldiers."
Xu Wen suddenly spoke, Wang Hong stood beside Xu Wen, and nodded when he heard the words.
After Wang Hong left for a while, General Lian Po arrived in the camp.
"How are the 20,000 troops going to be used, and now that the battle is heating up, I think there are only two options."
"The first one, behead them all!"
"The second, wait for the Zhao army to arrive, and escort them back to the Zhao Kingdom."
General Lian Po said seriously.
"It's not that I'm merciful, these 20,000 people can't be killed, and then they are very important."
Xu Wen spoke slowly, and when General Lian Po heard this, his eyes looked at Xu Wen, and he couldn't understand Xu Wen.
"Waiting for Zhao Jun to come, time is no longer enough, we must take South Korea within a month, and now the time has exceeded my thoughts, we can't wait any longer, and continue to fight, it will not benefit us at all."
"There is already a trend towards the Triple Alliance, and if we can't hold it, there will be other congresses stepping into this battle."
Xu Wen said seriously, and General Lian Po also felt a little reasonable when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.
"I'll go and see a group of troops who have surrendered."
Xu Wen thought about it, stood up, and planned to give a passionate speech.
Let the surrendered troops play to the usefulness they should play.
Soon Xu Wen arrived in the camp of the army.
"Your surrender can be regarded as luck and misfortune."
"You should all know the fate of the surrender!"
Xu Wen looked at it, and after the army was escorted away, he would either become a slave later, or his status would be even more miserable.
Hearing Xu Wen say this, many Qi people immediately fell silent.
"However, I'm different, although you are surrendering the army, although we used to be opponents, but after all, it was a thing of the past."
"I can treat you and the soldiers of Zhao Kingdom equally!"
"You can even be given a household registration, however, there are certain restrictions, if you enter the household registration, although you are from Zhao State, you will not be a first-grade to third-grade official in the future, and you must serve Zhao State on the battlefield for more than five years before you can return to Zhao State and return to the life of a normal person!"
"But in the same way, if you die in battle, your descendants will also have a pension!"
"I know that most of your family members are not in Zhao State, but if you die, we will have a way to send money to Qi State, your family, as long as you write the address to me."
Xu Wen looked at it.
Many Qi troops couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, and there was surprise in their eyes.
I can't imagine that this is the treatment of the army!
"What you say, is that true?"
Someone couldn't help but speak, and several generals looked directly at him when they heard this.
"Hmph, question Lord Xu Wen, look for death, in my opinion, you guys should be executed!"
A general couldn't help but speak.
Xu Wen stretched out his hand and told him to stop.
"My words can naturally be taken seriously, if I don't believe it, I can make an oath, and I can also let General Lian Po make an oath."
"You may not know my origin and so on, but General Lian Po's origin and so on, is it possible that you still don't know?"
"He's a real, well-known general!"
Xu Wen said seriously, and several people looked at Xu Wen.
I saw General Lian Po next to him coming over.
"What General Xu Wen said is naturally a promise, and I can also make an oath."
After speaking, General Lian Po immediately made an oath.
Many Qi troops were shaken in an instant.
Many people were in a state of shock, they didn't expect that Xu Wen, who was not particularly famous, would be able to let General Lian Po do this.
"We are willing to serve Lord Xu Wen!"
Many Qi soldiers immediately stood up and clenched their fists and spoke.
"Prepare some paper, some pens, and count the names, addresses, and so on of each of them."
Xu Wen spoke.
All of a sudden, Qi Jun was even more relieved.
When you come to the battlefield, one of the most critical things is not to worry about your wife and children at home, if your wife and children have a secure future, even if they go to the battlefield and die, they are not afraid!
Soon, everyone's names, home addresses, etc., were counted.
After returning to the camp, General Lian Po looked at Xu Wen.
"Your idea is really good, but you should also be the first person to give such treatment to the army!"
General Lian Po shook his head and spoke.
Except for some people with unusual status, the end of the army is generally miserable, but Xu Wen is willing to give it, promising such treatment, which he did not expect.
"Do you want 20,000 wasted men, or 20,000 elite soldiers?"
"They are wearing heavy armor, their identities are naturally unusual, and their strength is not comparable to ordinary teams."
"If this time, it's not that Mu Yangyu is too arrogant and is killed by me first, I also have to attach great importance to them."
I saw Xu Wen speak seriously.
General Lian Po also nodded, such a well-trained army, the resources required to train them were also extremely terrifying.
Let them serve at the price they are now. It can already be said that basically there is not much to give.
Xu Wen's abacus was much more shrewd than he thought.
