Chapter Ninety-Five: Chu Mo Takes Refuge

"Great King, our Chu army won a complete victory in this battle, killing more than 4,000 people of the Qin army and capturing more than 1,000 people of the Qin army. More than 6,000 South Korean troops were killed, and more than 7,000 were captured, because the 3,000 South Korean troops in the South Korean army camp surrendered, and we got most of the Korean army's armaments and materials here. ”

After the statistics of the three battlefields came out, Zhao Ju reported the results of the war to the king of Chu.

Xiong Huai asked, "What are the casualties of our army?" ”

Zhao Ju didn't look at the wooden slip in his hand, and said directly: "King, our army has more than 20,000 casualties. ”

When Xiong Huai heard that the casualties were huge, he immediately interrupted and asked, "So many?" In this battle, our Chu State won a complete victory, why did we suffer so many casualties? ”

Zhao Ju replied: "Great King, the number of people killed in our Chu army is basically less than that of the Qin and Han armies combined, only more than 7,000 people, and the most serious stage of casualties is when crossing the river, when they were directly shot by the Qin army's arrows, or drowned, fortunately, most of the injured soldiers were lightly injured, and they were also injured by the arrows of the Qin army in the process of crossing the river. ”

Xiong Huai understood.

This is still the Chu army won, if the Chu army and the Qin army fight a peace or fail to cross the river, then the loss will be greater than that of the Qin army.

The battle of crossing the river is indeed extremely difficult, if there is no certainty of victory, it will not be easy to cross the river in the future, otherwise it will really be a human life to fill the river.

"King, I don't know what to do with the prisoners of the Qin and Han armies." Doctor Shangguan asked.

Generally speaking, after the two countries are at war, the captured soldiers will either exchange prisoners or be ransomed, and those who do not return will be reduced to slaves, and if misfortune becomes, they will also be killed directly.

Xiong Huai knows the current situation in the Chu State, that is, there are few people in the land, and the population directly under the state is facing a crisis, these are the most scarce wealth in the Chu State now.

First be a slave for a few years, then be a Shuren (savage) for a few years, and then become a commoner, then most of them will become Chu people.

Xiong Huai said: "Pick out the generals among them, and let the remaining ordinary soldiers be escorted to Hanshui to set up camp and take care of them, and if Korea does not redeem people, they will be reduced to slaves." ”

On the one hand, the purpose of picking out generals is to break up the establishment of the South Korean army and eliminate the leaders among them, and on the other hand, these people are all rich people, even if South Korea does not redeem people, they must also redeem their own families.

Of course, if Shen Cha is caught, unless Chu and Han form an alliance, it will be forgotten.

As for why it was not directly reduced to slavery, it was because South Korea still needs to fight for it now, and these captives are bargaining chips.

After arranging the prisoners, Xiong Huai ordered: "Now that we have crossed the Danshui, there is no obstacle to the rescue of the general, rest today, camp twenty miles forward tomorrow to rest, and set off to rescue the general the day after tomorrow." ”

"Spread the order of the widow, send scouts to monitor the nearby range of 100 miles, and send scouts to monitor the movements of the Qin army."

"Yui."

After arranging matters in the army, Xiong Huai prepared to summon the leader of the Mo family.

This is the first time Xiong Huai has met the leaders of the hundreds of schools of Zhuzi, including the previous career of the king of Chu for more than ten years, and no leader of the hundreds of schools of Zhuzi came to defect.

Although I don't know that the people of the Mo family came to help this time, it was just a pure offense, for the sake of the Mo family's so-called lofty non-offensive ideals, they came to help the defense of the Chu State, or for other reasons.

No matter what purpose the people of the Mo family came for, Xiong Huai gave a very high standard of reception.

Let Chen Zhen go to pick him up, and Xiong Huai himself waited outside the big tent.

Seeing that the king of Chu was waiting outside the big tent, he immediately followed Chen Zhen to speed up his pace, came to the king of Chu and saluted: "The ink man has been bitter (has teeth) to meet the king." ”

Xiong Huai walked forward and said, "Two gentlemen, please get up." ”

After helping the two of them, Xiong Huai sighed with emotion: "Before the widow succeeded to the throne, I had heard that there were two great sages in my Chu country in Dengdi, and after the widow ascended the throne, I looked forward to the two of them coming to Yingdu to teach the widow day and night, but unfortunately I couldn't wait, and I have always regretted my life." Seeing the two gentlemen today really satisfies the widow's lifelong wish. ”

Bitter harvest has been speechless for a while.

The two of them didn't go to see the King of Chu before, because the ideals of the Chu State and the Mo family were too far apart, and they were too loveful to mention it, but Shang Xian's article was too far away from the Chu State.

In the past, the Mo family giants entered Qin, just because the Qin State was still virtuous, and he did not love and attack the Qin State.

For this reason, the Mo family really looks down on the state of Chu and the king of Chu.

Later, the king of Chu abolished the flesh punishment in the Chu country, and the Mo family thought that the king of Chu had changed, so they deliberately went to Yingdu to seek refuge in the king of Chu.

As a result, the king of Chu may have changed, but the state of Chu is still the same state of Chu.

This is the case, but it can't be said that.

Bitter said: "Thank you for the king's love, the sages of the Chu State were all over the place before, and the sages gathered, we are despicable, and we dare not stain the eyes of the king." Now that the Qin State has betrayed its trust and invaded the territory of our Chu State, although our ink scholars are not good, they are also full of blood, and they are willing to serve the king, and they are willing to serve the Chu State and resist the Qin army. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, the leader of the Mo family didn't just seem to be here to help, as if he was planning to take refuge in himself.

Xiong Huai took the hand of the bitter tooth, walked into the camp, and said tentatively as he walked: "The two gentlemen are willing to contribute to the Chu State, the widow is grateful, the Chu State has nothing to repay, I am willing to worship the two gentlemen as the doctors, and I hope that the two gentlemen will not hesitate to teach the widow in the future." ”

No matter what country you are in, the doctor is a position that belongs to the important minister. Of course, the exceptions of those scholars in the Qi Guoji School Palace, they only have the status and status of a doctor, but they do not have the function of a doctor, they only discuss matters and do not do anything.

For the bitter gains and the teeth, now is the first step to success, whether it is a real doctor or a fictitious doctor, as long as the Qin State can be defeated, it will be Chu Mo's victory, and Chu Mo's orthodox status can be established.

Ku Shou had already glanced at each other, and saw the other party's thoughts in the eyes of the other party, so they saluted the king of Chu with the etiquette of a courtier: "The minister Ku Shou (has teeth) to meet the king." ”

Seeing that he had accepted the position of doctor, Xiong Huai was immediately overjoyed.

Seeing this, Chen Zhen congratulated the king of Chu and said, "Congratulations to the king, you have won two great sages in one day." ”

Xiong Huai was overjoyed.

After that, Xiong Huai asked Ku Hou with a solemn face:

"Sir, I heard that the reason why the widow was able to break through the Qin camp in one fell swoop today is thanks to the help of a hundred warriors of the Mo family, after breaking through the Qin camp, there are only more than ten people left among the hundred warriors, do you know if there is such a thing?"

Ku Shu's face darkened, most of the 800 rangers who came to support Chu this time were rangers who traveled in Deng Land from various countries and responded to the call of the Mo family because of righteousness, and there were less than 200 Mo heroes who accepted the influence of the Mo family's doctrine.

But this time, more than 40 of the 100 people who went to the Qin army's deception camp were Mo Xia, and most of them died on the battlefield, which was a major loss for Chu Mo.

After picking up his feelings, he replied: "That's right, in order to deceive the Qin army camp, we selected more than 20 rangers who traveled to Chu from Korea, plus other rangers, a total of 100 people, but after the war, only 11 rangers survived. ”

"It's so tragic!"
