The second watch is here!

When he was young, Zhou Cang took Yue Ji to come. As soon as Yue Ji saw that Zhao Xu and other generals were above, he only said that he wanted to kill him, so he hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The villain Yue Ji has seen the generals and begged for mercy... Spare your life, spare your life! ”

Zhao Xu, Guan Yu and others all felt funny when they saw this situation, and they hadn't spoken yet, Zhuge Liang stepped forward and ordered the warrior to remove the ropes on Yueji's body, gave wine to suppress the shock, and said: "Marshal Yueji is not afraid, there is nothing else to do when you are summoned today, the previous time it was Marshal Yueji who was deceived by Xiu Wulu and came to fight with our army, it was all a misunderstanding, isn't it?" ”

When Yue Ji heard this, he knew that he was not going to kill him, so he was grateful, so he got off the donkey down the slope and hurriedly laughed: "Yes, yes, it's all a misunderstanding, it's my ghost." ”

Zhao Xu smiled, got up and shouted: "My lord is the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, only because Xianbei repeatedly violated the border and harassed the people on my border, so he ordered me to come to crusade, as the marshal of Xiqiang, how can you not understand the reason, but help the rebels?" For the sake of your Qiang people's tribute gifts for hundreds of years, I will not kill you today, and let you go back, and please say to your lord: I am a neighbor of the Han Dynasty, and I will always form an alliance, and do not listen to the slander of others. ”

Yue Ji was originally a vulgar person, where could he understand the slight warning in Zhuge Liang and Zhao Xu's words, only when Zhao Xu and others repaid their grievances with virtue, they listened to it, that is, they deeply felt their virtue. Busy said: "Yes! What the general said is that I listened to slander and only had such a misunderstanding, please rest assured that the villain will definitely report the general's words truthfully after he returns, and ask King Cherrigi to form an alliance forever and not invade again. ”

Zhao Xu and the others saw that Yue Ji's words were sincere and had no two hearts, so they returned all the captured Qiang soldiers and Qiang people's chariots and horses to Yue Ji, saying that they would let him return to China. Yue Ji and all the other Qiang soldiers were grateful to Dai De, after Yue Ji went back, he gave Cheriji, Gu said Zhao Xu, Zhuge Liang's words, Cheriji also felt that Zhao Xu was righteous and righteous, and his name was well deserved, so he and Ma Teng quit the army and allied with Liu Bei; This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

After sending Yue Ji away, because of the mention of the captivity, everyone couldn't help but think of the dead and wounded many soldiers, and couldn't help but feel a little sad. Seeing this, Zhao Xu stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, the Qiang people have been dealt with, and our army has won a big victory, so we should laugh now." After that, he turned his head to Zhou Cang and said, "Zhou Cang, why hasn't Putou come yet?" ”

"Oh...... This one! Zhou Cang suddenly smiled and said: "Putou was so timid and afraid of death, when we went to invite him, that Putou was still in prison when we wanted to kill him, but he was in prison and didn't want to leave, because the general's order was fast, and Putou couldn't come out for a while, so I brought Yue Ji over first, and Brother Wang Yong should be persuading him now." ”

As soon as Zhou Cang said that Wang Yong was "persuading" him, he secretly laughed, Wang Yong's temper was straightforward, and he was never soft on the enemy, presumably Putou was beaten up now! At this moment, the shouts outside the big account sounded, and Wang Yong, who was holding a pu head on his head, walked in.

"I've seen all the generals and military advisors." Wang Yong threw the pu head to the ground, "Smack!" There was a loud noise, and Putou called on the ground, but Wang Yong ignored it, and only saluted everyone.

Pu Tou kept shouting: "Spare your life!" Spare...... "Everyone couldn't help but smile when they saw this situation.

But everyone immediately couldn't help laughing, Zhao Xu paused, thought about it for a while, got up and shouted: "Monk, I asked you to invite Putou Shan Yu to come over, what's the matter with you, how can you dare to treat Shan Yu like this, quickly untie the rope, come on, call me out!" ”

Although Wang Yong was sincere, he also knew that Zhao Xu was just pretending to scold him, so he hurriedly untied the rope on Pu Tou and was driven out by the samurai. Zhao Xu personally helped Pu head to sit down, and comforted him with kind words.

Pu Tou hurriedly knelt down and said, "Why is the general like this? ”

Zhao Xu said: "My subordinates are too rude, they dare to beat and scold Shan Yu, and offend Huwei, it's all my fault for not being strict with discipline, I'm really sorry." Now his subordinates are offended, and they beg for forgiveness. ”

Pu Tou was frightened, and hurriedly bowed: "Pu Tou is just a captured person, how dare General Lao accompany him?" ”

After that, Pu Tou glanced at Zhao Xu with a worried expression, not daring to look at it head-on. It's no wonder that Putou is like this, after all, now Zhao Xu is holding the power of life and death, seeing that Zhao Xu has no intention of killing him, although he is very surprised and happy, he does not dare to be disrespectful, and Putou himself feels that it seems that it is an excellent choice to return to obedience. Hu Chuquan he naturally knows, yesterday Putou surrendered, and also talked to Hu Chuquan, Hu Chuquan persuaded Putou for a while, all about Zhao Xu, Liu Bei how benevolent and righteous, Pu Tou is not tempted It is impossible, and even Kebineng, Budugen, and Suli, who are stronger than him, have been defeated, and he doesn't think he has the ability to confront Liu Bei.

Everyone trembled when they saw Putou speak, and couldn't help but smile, Zhuge Liang stepped forward and said: "Shan Yu don't worry, I summoned you this time, not for anything else, but also ask Shan Yu to still serve as the Xianbei clan Da Shan Yu, and manage the Xianbei hometown north of the upper valley to the east, and now Xianbei's place, half of the original Xiongnu's, this can be returned." ”

Putou was taken aback and asked in an unbelievable tone, "What... Miscellaneous... Yes. Is this true? Don't......? ”

Zhao Xu nodded and said: "Naturally, we will ask the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty for credit one day, just after you and the Xiongnu Shan Yu Luan Tiqiang Qu accompanied my lord Liu Xuande to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Han, Shan Yu will do what you should do when you come back." ”

Escaping from death, still Xianbei Shan Yu, or the only one, this is called how Putou doesn't like it, he knelt down on his knees and bowed to Zhao Xu and the others: "Thank you generals!" ”

Pu Tou did not doubt that Zhao Xu would break his promise and be unfavorable to him, Zhao Xu was famous, and Pu Tou had also heard of it, not to mention that the Huns were safe and sound now, and naturally nothing would happen to him, if Zhao Xu wanted to attack him, he didn't need to be so troublesome at all, he could start directly now, he had no power to resist at all.

Zhao Xu smiled slightly, stepped forward to help Putou, and said: "No need to thank you, I have to ask you, in the future, the safety of the grassland and the north will be handed over to you and Luan Ti Qiangqu Shan Yu, Luan Ti I will let Hu Chuquan say that you two have to get along well." ”

Pu Tou hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "I will live up to the expectations of the general and guard the grassland for the Han." ”

Zhao Xu laughed, patted Pu Tou's shoulder and smiled: "Okay!" All right! But it's not for the Han, it's for yourself and the Xianbei family. Our army is about to return to the Central Plains, and your Xianbei clan will be treated the same as the Xiongnu, allowing you to trade with us and even intermarry; Now, the matter of the grassland has settled, and I am going back to merge the state, after all, I was entrusted by the lord to order me to assassinate the history of the state, and I can't slack off. Zhao Xu didn't hide it and said.

"What... What the. "Putou is even more frightened, allowing trade, which is very beneficial to Xianbei, there are a lot of grain and rice items in the Central Plains, and my Xianbei people don't have to worry about these anymore, and naturally they don't have to risk their lives to plunder. At the moment, he was grateful, knelt on the ground and said, "General Zhao, I don't know if I can help?" The general and Uncle Liu Huang are both righteous, and Putou has already heard of it, and he is willing to follow the whip stirrup. But there is a send-off, and it is not unremitting. ”

"Hehe, go to the soup and go to the fire, this is not necessary, Putou Shan Yu, as long as you can get along with Luan Ti Shan Yu and keep the grassland, besides, it is not Zhao Xu's verbal offense, it is really a big loss of Xianbei's strength now, plus prisoners of war, although there are still more than 100,000 troops, but now the morale of Xianbei soldiers is low, you only need to revitalize Xianbei and recuperate, this is what you should do when Shan Yu." Zhao Xu said.

What is obvious, Zhao Xu is also telling the truth, even if Putou wants to help, he is powerless. When Pu Tou heard Zhao Xu's words, he couldn't help blushing, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized something, and exclaimed, "What? General Zhao, what did you just say? What plus prisoners of war? ”

Zhao Xu smiled: "Naturally, it is your Xianbei prisoner, I will return the Qiang prisoners of war to Yueji, let him take them home, you Xianbei is no exception, you still treat me as a bloodthirsty person?" ”

Pu Tou hurriedly said: "No, General, you misunderstood, I was just surprised, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Zhao Xu laughed, patted Pu Tou's shoulders with both hands, and said easily: "Okay, you go and prepare to accept your Xianbei surrender!" If you have any questions, you can ask Hu Chuquan, if someone insults you or bullies you, just come to me. ”

"This ......" Putou was grateful to Zhao Xu, and he didn't know what to say, but when he was young, he burst out: "Putou thank you generals for the Xianbei family, I miss General Zhao Xu more!" ”

Zhao Xu smiled: "Okay, since you are willing to submit, then you will be your own family from now on, why be so polite." ”

After Putou left, Chen Zhi walked into the tent and said, "Boxiong, Yun Chang, and three gentlemen, the number of casualties of our army has been counted. ”

As soon as Chen said this, everyone was in high spirits, Guan Yu had always been kind to the soldiers, and hurriedly asked, "How is it?" How many casualties did our army have? ”

"This ......" Chen Zhi sighed and said heavily: "In this battle, our army suffered more than 46,000 casualties, of which the Qingzhou soldiers suffered the greatest losses, and the Qingzhou soldiers were not accustomed to horse warfare. The Hun cavalry also suffered more than 20,000 casualties. ”

After listening to Chen Zhi's report, Guan Yu's brows furrowed tightly, and Zhao Xu was also taken aback, although he had some expectations for the casualties, he didn't expect the casualties to be so big, and the Xianbei Iron Cavalry was not a dry meal after all.

The big tent suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere was a little dull, although it was much better than the losses of the Xianbei army, but it was the first time that such a large casualty was also the first time, and the generals could not enjoy the joy of victory. Zhao Xu also knew that most of the casualties were due to the fact that the Qingzhou soldiers were not accustomed to horse warfare, and the Qiang people's iron chariot soldiers were caught off guard. It's great to have such casualties.

Jia Xu's name as a poisoner is not covered, and when he hears the casualty figures, he is also the most calm. Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and sighed.

Zhao Xu also sighed: "War! Sure enough, there are no winners, only losers! He suddenly paused and said with a wry smile: "Is this the interaction force?" ”
