Victory came too quickly and it was a bit of a headache, which is probably the trouble of happiness.

If you can't keep it, then why don't you just kill it?

It is precisely because the Huns have the possibility of surrendering and living, so they are willing to take the initiative to put down their weapons to surrender, but if the Wei army refuses them to surrender, then these Huns will inevitably fight to the death, hundred-legged insects, dead but not stiff, trapped beasts, dying and struggling, and it is bound to cause senseless casualties to the Wei army that encircles them.

However, if Bai Qi followed the method of killing 400,000 Zhao soldiers after the surrender, it would inevitably leave a disgraceful mark on Cao Liang's political career, and he would probably be criticized by the world.

can't stay but can't kill, this undoubtedly poses a problem for Cao Liang.

But the generals on the front line were waiting for Cao Liang's order, the time was pressing, and Cao Liang was not allowed to think more, so Cao Liang had no choice but to ask Yu Huanfan.

Huan Fan said: "Surrender and kill, against morality, not to mention the battle of Puzi, is the first battle with the Huns, if the general Houde Kuanyou allows him to surrender, after the battle, the Huns will be willing to surrender." However, if the general refuses to surrender, it will inevitably make the Huns fight to the death, which is not conducive to the future battle of annexing states. Therefore, the general has to be cautious in dealing with those who surrender. ”

Cao Liang frowned and said: "I naturally know this truth, but there are many Huns who surrender, if they all are accepted, our army will be overwhelmed, and if they are let go, it will be tantamount to returning to the mountain." ”

After accepting the surrender, let it go, that is the next policy, these Huns are not wild, the situation is poor, if you let them go easily, it will be endless troubles.

Huan Fan smiled slightly: "The old man didn't say that he was going to let them go." ”

Cao Liang said: "You can't stay, you can't kill, you can't let go, these Huns are really difficult to deal with." ”

Huan Fan said calmly: "It's not easy to say this, it's not difficult to say it, the general is kind-hearted, and he doesn't want to bear the name of a butcher for nothing, the old man has a plan, which can solve the general's worries." ”

Cao Liang's eyes lit up, and he said, "If Mr. has any clever plans, you might as well speak up, and listen to me." ”

Huan Fan said leisurely: "This is a plan for the two tigers to compete for food, the general can put the Huns in several battalions, give less food, so that the Huns kill each other, the winner lives, the loser dies, and in the end only a few can be left." ”

Cao Liang nodded thoughtfully, Huan Fan's plan for the competition of the two tigers now seems to be a clever plan.

Surrender is a problem that any army on the battlefield may face, and if the general of the army accepts the surrender of troops generously, it can play a decisive role in breaking down the morale of the enemy army.

Otherwise, it will boost the morale of the enemy and make the enemy fight in a trap fight.

Therefore, from the perspective of being conducive to combat, it is imperative to accept the surrender of the enemy, which can not only reduce the casualties of your own soldiers, but also quickly end the battle.

Of course, the sequelae of accepting the enemy's troops are more difficult to deal with, and the most important thing is the issue of rations for these surrendered troops; if these surrendered troops are not fed, it will inevitably cause riots in the surrendered troops, and the consequences will be very difficult to control.

But the problem of grain and grass is probably the most difficult problem, this time there are thousands of surrendered soldiers, each person drinks at least one bowl of porridge every day, that is also an extremely large number, even if Cao Liang is rich and rivals the country, as long as it takes a long time, he can still be eaten by them.

It didn't work to follow Bai Qi's path, but Huan Fan provided Cao Liang with a new solution, that is, to use food as bait and let the Huns kill each other, so that the responsibility would not be on Cao Liang, and Cao Liang would not have to bear the charge of killing and surrendering pawns.

In fact, this is no different from Bai Qi's method, the main reason why Bai Qi killed Zhao Zhao is the lack of food in his army, if Zhao Bing rebels for the second time because of the lack of food and grass, it is better to kill all 400,000 Zhao soldiers to save worry and trouble.

Now Cao Liang is not short of grain and grass at present, and the imperial court has distributed some of it, seized some from the hands of the Huns, and scavenged some from Hedong County, which can barely support it for a while, but as the Wei army moves forward and merges the state, the shortage of grain and grass is bound to get bigger and bigger.

Therefore, this plan of the two tigers to compete for food should not be delayed, at least after the battle of Xiliulin is over, Cao Liang should have laid out this matter.

However, the top priority is to continue to pursue and kill the Huns and resettle those Huns who were forced to surrender, Cao Liang ordered the five captains, all the Huns who resisted stubbornly or fled for their lives, all of them were killed, only those who took the initiative to lay down their arms and surrendered sincerely, they could surrender, but for those who had killed and wounded the Wei soldiers and soldiers who were forced to surrender at the end of the road, they should be severely punished and killed.

Cao Liang's order is tantamount to providing a signal to the Huns, that is, if you want to surrender and want to live, you should not wait for it to be outdated, and if you want to surrender again when you are exhausted, there is no door!

With the military order, Deng Ai, Du Pre, and Wang Jun were much more convenient to execute, receiving a lot of Xiongnu troops who had already thrown away their weapons, and striking at those individual diehards who were stubbornly resisting, chasing them all the way, only to chase them to the end of the road, and there was no place to escape.

In desperation, these Huns also chose to surrender, but things did not go as they wished, the Wei army killed the Huns on the end of the road, even if they had given up their horses and weapons, but they could not escape death.

As a result, the resolute resistance of the Huns became fewer, most of the Huns saw that there was no hope of breaking through, they all took the initiative to choose to surrender, for a time the surrender was like a cloud, and the battle in the north soon entered the end.

And the battle in the south has changed at this moment.

In order to impact the Wei army's spear array, Brodon almost exhausted his strength, frequently dispatched troops, and launched round after round of fierce attacks, but the Wei army's spear array was as solid as a rock, and Brodon was never able to cross the thunder pool.

Just when Brodon increased his strength and continued to attack, the collapse of the Hun army in the north was a foregone conclusion, and Brodon climbed high and looked far away, and he could clearly see that the Hun army had been completely defeated, and Liu Yue had long been missing, and all the orders were issued by him in advance.

Broton was secretly taken aback, he didn't expect that the cavalry of the Wei army was coming quickly, and before they could let them win the battle, the cavalry of the Wei army had already returned to help immediately.
