After the hard work of all the soldiers, the battle on the main battlefield is basically over, but Xiu Wulu still led some people to break out, but fortunately, Zhao Xu, Zhao Yun and others surrounded and intercepted, and only a small part of the troops around Xiu Wulu remained, so there was no need to make a big move.

What's more, now the main forces are busy crushing the recalcitrant enemy, as well as counting prisoners and cleaning up the battlefield. In the joy of the great victory, most people didn't notice Xiuwu Lu's breakthrough, so only Zhao Xu led Zhao Xue, Zhao Yun and his own soldiers plus the remaining Haolong Xuanjia Army and these light cavalry to chase and kill Xiu Wulu, although the number was less than four thousand, but it was more than enough to deal with Xiu Wulu's remnants of the defeated generals.

In the process of chasing, in order to save his life, Xiu Wulu constantly sent people back to fight against Zhao Xu to stop Zhao Xu's pursuit, but this is just Xiu Wulu's dying struggle, and it is a matter of time before he is destroyed, not to mention that now that the sky is bright, Xiu Wulu is no longer familiar with the terrain in the prairie in broad daylight. Xu is Xianbei soldiers who were sent by Xiu Wu Lu to block them knew that Xiu Wu Lu was only sending them to death, anyway, the general trend had gone, and Xiu Wu Lu was just doing this in vain.

I don't know who shouted, "Surrender!" These Xianbei soldiers who blocked it fell to the ground like Mount Tai collapsed, and shouted: "Don't kill us, we surrender!" "Naturally, the Xianbei army has gone, and after a night of fighting, it is already exhausted. Not to mention them, Zhao Xu also felt overtired at this time.

Xiu Wulu now has less than a thousand soldiers and horses left around him, and he led the remnants of the defeated generals to run wildly in the northwest direction for a while, but he still did not get rid of Zhao Xu and others, and Zhao Xu was still chasing after him; Even if the people are not tired, the horses are tired, and all the soldiers around Xiu Wulu are discouraged, and they don't want to run.

Tuoba Wolf shouted to Xiu Wulu in embarrassment: "Shan Yu, surrender!" The general trend has gone, I heard that Zhao Xu treats prisoners of war preferentially, and it is better for us to surrender than for the whole clan to be wiped out! ”

Xiu Wulu looked at the soldiers around him, his face showed fatigue, and he was already tired. That's all I can do, I can't do it! That's all my father does! Is this fate? …… Xiu Wulu thought, "Surrender for a long time!" ......" Xiu Wulu said suddenly.

When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but burst into tears when they saw Xiu Wulu's down-and-out appearance, and they all shouted: "Shan Yu, my lord!" ”

At this time, Zhao Xu's army had also rushed to Xiu Wulu and the others, and when he saw the soldiers in front of him crying, he couldn't bear to kill him, so he stopped; When he was young, Xiu Wulu shouted at Zhao Xu: "Zhao Xu! Listen, I'm not as good as you, if I'm defeated, I can surrender! Speaking of this, Xiu Wulu suddenly stopped, paused, and said with a slight pleading tone: "But...... Alas! Zhao Xu, please be kind to my Xianbei people. ”

When Zhao Xu saw this scene, he couldn't help but be moved, and his compassion rose, and he began to sympathize with Xiu Wu Lu, and when he heard Xiu Wu Lu's tone, he knew that Xiu Wu Lu was going to commit suicide, and it was impossible to stop him. nodded at the moment, and said slowly: "I promise you, if I treat your Xianbei people badly, I will die under the arrows." ”

Xiu Wulu also knew that the Han people took the oath very seriously, and nodded, "Okay!" ......" Before he finished speaking, he only heard a "poof", and Xiu Wulu had already passed the scimitar through his heart, and without snorting, he fell under the horse.

Everyone was shocked, and the Xianbei soldiers howled and cried, and the wailing suddenly began.

When Zhao Xu came back with the captive, it was already the morning of the next day. At this time, a large-scale camp had been erected on the battlefield that was still littered with corpses yesterday. On the southeast side of the camp, there is a mountain bag piled up with corpses, where many soldiers and tens of thousands of Xianbei soldiers are wearing masks to bury the bodies of their own soldiers and Xianbei and Qiang people who died in battle. Apparently the battlefield was cleaned last night.

Zhao Xu, Zhao Yun, Zhao Xue and others entered the handsome tent, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others were discussing things, and several people had seen Guan Yu, Cao Cao, Ma Teng, etc.

Someone had already reported Xiu Wulu's suicide, and everyone knew about it, and when they saw Zhao Xu, Zhao Yun, and Zhao Xue coming in, they all got up to toast. Zhang Fei lifted two jars of wine and came to the three of them, poured three bowls of wine, handed them over, and shouted: "Boxiong, Zilong, and younger brothers and sisters, you have worked this trip, come!" Take a sip of wine to relieve fatigue. ”

"This ......" Zhao Yun and Zhao Xue hesitated for a while, and Zhao Xu was also surprised. looked at Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang and others. They knew that yesterday's battle had just ended, and it would take a few days to celebrate, not to mention that Zhuge Liang and others had always advocated the prohibition of alcohol, why did they let Zhang Fei be so presumptuous today?

Seeing the hesitant appearance of Zhao Xu and the others, Guan Yu smiled and said, "Haha! Boxiong, Zilong, brother and sister, the three of you are not strange, now that the north is decided, you have worked hard all night, you should also indulge and drink to your heart's content! ”

"Hehe, what the second brother said is right, just drink, come, do it!" Zhang Fei threw the wine bowl to Zhao Xu, Zhao Yun, and Zhao Xue, and Zhao Xu and the others saw that since Guan Yu said so, they no longer shirked, after all, they were indeed thirsty. At that moment, the three of them clinked glasses with Zhang Fei and drank them all. Zhao Xue also drank it in one go, very bold.

Zhao Xu knew that Zhao Xue was not drinking well, so he only drank one bowl, Zhang Fei toasted Zhao Xue again, but was stopped by Zhao Xu, and it happened that Ma Yunlu was also sitting behind Ma Chao, so Zhao Xue went to talk to Ma Yunlu by himself. Zhao Xu and Zhao Yun drank happily and poured them in large gulps. After a night of fighting, chasing in the middle of the night, non-stop, Zhao Xu and Zhao Yun were already dry. Not to mention the two of them, but the hundreds of thousands of horses in the whole army are tired, and now they can drink good wine, it is like a long drought and nectar.

"I have enough drinks today, just drink as much as you want!" Jia Xu laughed. Seeing that Ma Chao, Zhang Fei and others would take turns to toast Zhao Xu and Zhao Yun, no one drank up the two jars of good wine in a few sips, so he smiled and handed over the two jars. Said.

Cao Cao toasted to everyone at this time, and said with a smile: "It's really refreshing to break Xianbei with all the generals, but it's a pity that Cao has been away from Yuzhou for a long time, and he still has internal affairs, so he has to go back now." ”

Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, and Tian Feng glanced at each other, and Zhuge Liang stepped forward and said: "Cao Gong came from afar, and there was only one big battle, so go back now, wouldn't it be disappointing, how about staying for a few more days?" The generals also kept Cao Cao together.

Cao Cao arched his hand and said, "Haha! Thank you for your kindness, I don't want to stay, but there is something wrong in Yuzhou and I have to go back. But he secretly said in his heart: "Hehe! Xianbei has been decided, what am I still doing here, now go back to ask the Son of Heaven for credit, and expanding the territory is the most important thing. ”

Zhao Xu looked at Cao Cao and wondered: What is this Cao Cao's calculation? After a pause, he arched his hand towards Cao Cao and said, "Since Cao Gong must go back, it is inconvenient for us to stay." ”

Cao Cao smiled: "That's very good, Cao said goodbye." Everyone stood up and sent Cao Cao out of the gate.

Everyone was about to go back, and suddenly Yuanmen rode over, until Zhao Xu and Ma Teng were in front of the people, the young general saw Ma Teng, hurriedly dismounted and knelt down and said: "Report to the lord, the Qiang people and other foreign races have made abnormal movements recently, and the soldiers are under the city of Xiping." ”

Ma Teng and Han Sui glanced at each other, knowing that the military situation was urgent, and immediately said to Zhao Xu, Guan Yu and the others: "Everyone, I'm really sorry, there is an abnormal movement at the border, and I, as a general at the border gate, must go back and say goodbye." ”

Guan Yu arched his hand and said: "Since the border is in danger, we naturally dare not keep it, goodbye!" Everyone also said goodbye to Ma Teng, Ma Chao was half-drunk at this time, and he was pulled away like this, which was really disappointing, but he had no choice but to go back with Ma Teng. At that moment, Ma Teng and Han Sui rose up, and the prisoners were not wanted, but they only replenished their ordnance, and went straight to Xiliang.

That night, Zhuge Liang and other three major military divisions, Guan Yu, Zhao Xu and others were discussing together. Zhao Xu glanced at it, and saw that Jia Xu and the three of them were all half-open and half-closed, as if they couldn't wait to speak, and said with a smile: "Three military advisors, there are no outsiders at this time, just say what you have planned!" ”

Tian Feng said first: "Now that Xianbei and the Xiongnu have been decided, the Xiongnu will stop, what is the way to settle the Xianbei generals?" ”

Jia Xu said: "The land under the control of Xianbei today, including the homeland of the Xiongnu, if it is not handled properly, I am afraid that the Xiongnu will be dissatisfied, if it is biased towards the Xiongnu, I am afraid that it will cause the hatred of the Xianbei people, no matter what these two situations are, it is not good for us." ”

"Hmmm! In this way, we can do this: the land in the Hetao Pass where the Xiongnu live now is the original territory of our Han Dynasty, and now it is just time to recycle it, so that the Xiongnu and Xianbei can equally share this northern desert steppe. Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said.

"This method is good" Tian Feng praised, nodded and said: "However, now our army should return to the Central Plains, and now there are a lot of Xianbei and Qiang prisoners, and it is very inconvenient to take these prisoners." Now Xianbei Shan Yu Putou has surrendered, just let him manage Xianbei, return the Xianbei captives to him, and let him and the Xiongnu Luan Ti Qiangqu Shan jointly defend my north. On the one hand, it is full of human affection, so that Putou and Xianbei people return to their hearts; The two are also helpful to the great cause of the lord to balance the development of forces on the grassland, which is really a strategy to kill two birds with one stone. ”

"It's so good, but I promised the Huns before that the Xiongnu would allow us Han people to intermarry and trade, and now we should do the same for Xianbei, allowing the three ethnic groups to intermarry and trade; Anyway, the cattle, sheep and horses abundant in Xianbei and Xiongnu are exactly what we need, and our food and warmth and other necessities are also what they need. Zhao Xu said. Anyway, in the future, there will be five chaotic China, and the great integration of ethnic groups will be promoted in a peaceful way now, and the future war of the province will be won.

"Boxiong's plan can be called the best policy, excellent, excellent." Tian Feng agreed.

"There is also the Qiang marshal Yue Ji, the Qiang people have paid tribute since the time of Taizu, and Emperor Wen also has a favor to add, although there is a discord now, but it is also just taking advantage of this to reconcile with the Qiang people, and by the way, Ma Teng Taishou solves the contradiction with the Qiang people and stabilizes the western border problem."

"In that case, let's do what a few people say! So he sent someone to report to the Son of Heaven and the lord and inform him of the war. In that moment, I will tell them that those who can speak will come to them, and they will be able to make their hearts happy. Guan Yu said with a smile.

"Hahaha! We have returned to them the captives, and it seems to them that we have done our best to the fullest, and as for how they manage and what difficulties there are, it is their own business. Jia Xu laughed.

"Yes, but now we have to collect the bones of our fallen soldiers, and the soldiers who died in the Xianbei battle still return to their roots and are buried in the grassland, but our soldiers can't even go back to the ashes! We are going to return to our hometown with these brothers who died in battle," Zhao Xu said in a deep voice.

Even if the soldiers are elite soldiers, they will inevitably die in battle. Horse leather shroud, who doesn't want to be able to return to his hometown after dying in battle, this may be the greatest respect for a martyr, and it is also a dream.

Zhuge Liang and the other three major military divisions couldn't help but sigh, and Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and several other generals also looked sad and shook their heads.
