Chapter 664: Surrender and Subsequent Redemption

The Mali army surrendered.

The flying birds controlled by Su Yun simply shot down nine flying birds, and after the one carrying the strong crossbow was also shot down, the flying birds that were as fast as the wind began to strangle the infantry army.

After a few round-trips, a rain of arrows from the birds killed hundreds of Mari sergeants.

Sergeant Mari, who had fled back to the camp, was still killed by the birds in patches.

The grief-stricken Shantes was hit by an arrow, and if he hadn't put on his helmet, the whole person would have been shot through.

Looking at the dead worthless soldiers, Shantes' eyes were red, and with an order, the whole army surrendered.

On that day, in addition to the siege of the city and died, he was stoned to death by his own birds, and Mali surrendered more than 30,000 troops, and Mali's army went down the Huaishui River and fled directly.

When Shantes was escorted to Su Lu, he was described as haggard, and his whole person lost a circle.

"I haven't seen you for many days, General Sha has lost a lot of weight."

Su Lu said with a smile, now that the battle situation has been decided, the three kingdoms of Chu, Tang and Qi have been destroyed, and these Mali armies have been cleaned up, the next thing is to recuperate and recuperate, and rectify the rule of officials, so you don't have to worry about anything anymore.

Nothing happened, and Su Lu felt very comfortable.

Shantes bowed to Sulu, sat down in his chair, and smiled bitterly:

"Lord Mingjian, the last general was in danger of tens of thousands of troops, and he was planted in the hands of the prince in a war, I am really sorry for the soldiers, I am sorry for the former minister, and I am sorry for His Majesty the Emperor Mali."

Su Lu nodded and said with a smile:

"In that case, General Shantes, the relationship between you and me was quite harmonious, but you mistakenly believed the rumors, which led to the exchange of troops between the two countries, and now all your troops have been captured by our country, in order to show the sincerity of our Han Kingdom, I have decided, and our previous agreement is still valid."

"As long as your country signs a treaty with my Han State not to attack our Han State and does not use a strong crossbow treaty, your country can pay money to redeem you for a hundred taels of people to return to China."

Shantes stood up when he heard this, and looked at Su Lu with a face full of consternation:

"Is what the prince said serious?"

Su Lu nodded, "Really, your country is vast and lacks people, I know this, and judging from the sudden start of the war by General Shantes, I should be in a hurry to leave and want to return home with a large army. ”

Shantes took a few steps back and forth in the account, and said with a bitter smile:

"Don't dare to hide it from the prince, there are indeed disputes in my country, the officials of the old line are in turmoil, disputes between the north and the south, something has happened, and there are many mutinies in the army supporting His Majesty the Great Emperor, and I urgently need to return to China for assistance."

"If the prince is willing to release these soldiers, His Majesty the Emperor and the former minister of the Emperor will thank the prince for his sincerity."

Su Lu Xindao is really a moth in the country, but this is normal, the domestic war has just been calmed down, and the country is on an expedition, and most of the army subordinate to Emperor Mali is not in the country, so it is strange that the opposition in the country does not make trouble.

If the opposition rises up now, presses the emperor's side to fight, and wins many battles, then it will support Emperor Mali.

According to the degree of anxiety of Shantes, Emperor Mali must be very anxious, and when he negotiates the ransom with Mali, the emperor will be beaten by the rebels to the corner of Mali.

"Thank you for no need, everyone is for the sake of profit, General Shantes should return as soon as possible."

Shantes's face was happy, but he still saluted Su Lu, and then turned around and strode away.

Su Lu sent Shantes out of the big tent and asked the land battle next to him:

"Where has Cao Hua and Zhao Wu's army gone?"

"General Cao Hua went down to the capital of Chu, and last time he lost the Tang Emperor, General Cao Hua did not let go of the Emperor of Chu this time, and captured more than 100 noble ministers, including Emperor Chu, in one fell swoop."

"General Zhao Wu is on a starry night, and he will be able to get here tonight."

Su Lu commanded and said:

"Send an order to go down, let them divide their troops, sweep the cities of Chu State, divide their troops to guard the guards, cooperate with the Dingxiang Guard, select the officials of Chu, kill those who should be killed, and surrender those who should surrender."

"I wrote to Your Majesty, saying that Chu Di has fallen into the hands of my Han State, and I ask her to consult with the Ministry of Officials, dispatch capable officials, and take up the position of Chu Di officials."

"The Ministry of Rites must also take action to implement the school and reform the school system, which must be implemented as soon as possible."

"After this great war between Chu and Qi, there are many injuries among the people, and all parts of the country are in urgent need of food for the winter, so please send food to the household department to avoid starvation everywhere."

The few scribes who followed quickly wrote down, wrote down Su Lu's words, and then went back to polish them, transcribe them, and then send them to the capital.

A few days later, Cao Hua and Zhao Wu arrived, and the two of them, together with Hua Xun, met Su Lu in the main hall.

The war has ended, and several generals are wearing crimson robes, and their faces are full of joy.

Su Lu ordered all the generals to sit, patted the defense diagram on the wall and said:

"The war is over, and next, we have to deal with the enemy's attack from the sea."

"It's good to say on the road, there are only two roads to go, Jiameng Pass is in the hands of our army, easy to defend and difficult to attack, do not use a strong crossbow, it is difficult to capture it when you are idle, and the grassland is full of spies of our army, if you want to attack our Han country, it will take a year."

"It's not good on this sea, the coastline of Qichu is long, and it is almost impossible to defend it comprehensively, but in order to guard against other places, you have to defend it, you can discuss it and see how we should defend it."

Cao Hua was the first to stand up and said:

"The southern port has a special geographical location and must be strengthened to become a new fortress, which is the first stop to deal with the enemy's threat from the sea, and it must be reinforced."

"It doesn't matter if you have Dongji Port, but you can also send troops to garrison it as a small military port."

"There is no need for the Huaishang Navy Dazhai to exist, and there is no need for the inland water division to exist in the future, after all, there are no water bandits in our Han Kingdom that are worth using the inland water division."

Hua Xun quickly stood up and said:

"In the southeast, there should be a new port, so that it can also avoid the situation that the Mali Sailor passed through in a big way like last time, but my Han Navy's Sailor failed to find out."

"There is no need to set up a naval army village in Huaishui, but the estuary has to be defended, leaving a naval army village, one can train the troops, and the other can monitor the Qi land, Qi Di Xinfu, there must still be some declining princes and relatives, thinking about raising troops to make trouble."

Wang Sisi said with a grin:

"If you want me to say, let's expand the original ports, garrison troops, trade, all have a lot to do, but I know that those trading houses that do far-sea trade have made a lot of money."

"Let's just say that I came to Fuxiang, what was it like to be poor a few years ago, I went to fight an autumn breeze, and I contributed a thousand taels of silver, last month, I met them Su shopkeeper, just Lao Jun, I used 10,000 taels of silver."

Zhao Wu pursed his lips, his face disdainful:

"You are violating military orders, and you should be punished by military law."

Li Kun took the water cup and took a sip slowly, his tone full of frustration:

"Let's do this, it is definitely a good thing to set up more ports, you can make money, but you still have to listen to the prince, the prince said that where there should be a port, where there is a port, even if according to your Wang Si, build more ports, there is no money to build warships, there is a fart."

Wang Si smiled:

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid if you don't have money."
