Because of Zhao Hongrun's decision, the more than 30,000 Chu soldiers finally survived, and they would not be driven down to Yanshui by the general of the Junshui Battalion.

However, it is precisely because of this that the Chu soldiers, who had a glimpse of a chance to live, also gave up the fight of trapped beasts one after another, dropped the weapons in their hands one after another, and were silently detained by the Yan Ling soldiers and the Wei soldiers of the Junshui Battalion.

As for the location where these 30,000 Chu troops were imprisoned, it was finally decided to be in the vanguard camp of the original Chu army on the south bank of Yanshui.

Who would have thought that Pingyujun Xiong Hu originally planned to leave this military camp to the follow-up army of the follow-up army - the 100,000 army of Xiong Tuo, the king of Chu Xuancheng, but as a result, the entire military camp and all the war materials in the barracks, including the money and goods collected by Pingyujun Xiong Hu from the domestic cities of Great Wei, were all in the pocket of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.

What's even funnier is that the Great Wei army still stepped on the three pontoon bridges built by the pioneers of the Chu army, slowly crossed Yanshui, and took over the Chu army camp on the south bank of Yanshui.

Yes, it was to take over, because there was hardly a single Chu soldier in the entire barracks, and even those Chu soldiers who were lucky enough to escape from Yanshui did not have the courage to stay here.

If nothing goes wrong, those Chu State routs who escaped by luck should have fled to the army of Xiong Tuo, the king of Chu Xuancheng, to report the news.

Deliver a major news that is enough to shock the Chu army on the Yingshui battlefield: Chu Pingyujun Xiong Hu's 60,000 vanguard army was wiped out!

"The last general, Chen Shi, fortunately not disgraced!"

When Zhao Hongrun slowly came to the vanguard camp of the Chu army with his entourage, the Wei soldiers had officially taken over the entire military camp.

And the first time he saw Zhao Hongrun, Chen Shi, the military lieutenant of Yanling who was waiting outside the barracks, immediately knocked on one knee and bowed his head to salute His Royal Highness King Su, who was still sitting on the horse.

You must know that when he arrived at this barracks, he had been standing outside the barracks waiting for Zhao Hongrun's arrival, and what this message meant was self-evident.

"Chen Shi, do you mean to be guilty?" Zhao Hongrun joked with a smile and rolled over from the horse.

Chen Shi lowered his head and said seriously and sincerely: "The last general has already ordered someone to look for Jingcao nearby, but unfortunately there is no response yet......

"Hahaha." Zhao Hongrun was happy, stepped forward to help Chen Shi up, and teased: "I can't see it, but you also have a bit of humor...... Get up, you saw that this king was young, so he refused to surrender his military power, this matter is reasonable, and this king will not blame you. ”

"Thank you Su Wang Haihan!" Martial Lieutenant Chen Shi was really relieved when he heard this, and then he stood up.

I remember that three days ago, he was still full of doubts about His Royal Highness King Su, but at this moment, he only had the word convincing in his heart.

Because this highness not only designed to annihilate the vanguard of the 60,000 Chu army, but also took the opportunity to take the big camp that originally belonged to Xiong Hu, the king of Pingyu, the important thing is that the casualties of their Wei soldiers were only more than 1,000 after this battle, while more than 20,000 people died in the 60,000 Chu army, and more than 30,000 people were forced to surrender.

"Where's the Hundred Miles General?" Zhao Hongrun asked.

Chen Shi hugged his fists and replied, "The general is placing prisoners of war in the camp. As he spoke, he raised his head and said hesitantly: "His Royal Highness King Su, in fact, the last general also feels that the more than 30,000 Chu army prisoners have brought a heavy burden to our army, do you think, our Yanling soldiers and the friendly troops of the Junshui Battalion are only about 35,000 people......

"It seems that your thoughts are similar to those of the Great General of Baili, right?" Zhao Hongrun glanced at Chen Shi, shook his head and said, "At that time, our army had already won, and if we continue to kill, it will just be a senseless massacre...... Do you think you only killed those 30,000 Chu soldiers? No! In fact, what you killed was the possibility of the surrender of the Chu soldiers to our army in the future. …… If our army does not leave prisoners, even if our army has the opportunity to push another Chu army to a dead end in the future, they will never give up the struggle...... These 30,000 Chu captives are tantamount to 'buying horse bones with a thousand gold', understand? ”

Chen Shi said with relief when he heard this: "Your Highness means that the soldiers of the Chu State will gradually realize that they have surrendered to our Great Wei and still have a chance to survive......

"Exactly." Zhao Hongrun nodded, and said: "In this way, when the victory and defeat are clear, there will be no more Chu soldiers fighting trapped beasts, which can enable our soldiers to avoid many unnecessary casualties." …… Don't forget, the territory of Chu is four times the size of my Great Wei, and the population is also several times that of my Great Wei, so the life of any soldier is extremely precious to my Great Wei. ”

Chen Shi smiled heartily when he heard this, lowered his head slightly, and hugged his fists heavily.

"Thousands of dollars buy horse bones...... It seems that His Royal Highness King Su's heart is bigger than we imagined......

Wang Shu and Ma Zhang glanced at each other, and they both had a strange feeling.

Because they heard some clues from Zhao Hongrun's words: it seems that the heart of His Royal Highness King Su is not limited to recovering the lost territory, but to fight against the Chu State itself.

In other words, this King Su is going to fight all the way to the territory of Chu!

"If that's the case......

Coincidentally, Wuwei Wang Shu and Ma Zhang suddenly felt that the blood in their bodies seemed to be boiling, and their whole bodies were full of strength.

"Let's go into camp."

"Yes!"

At the same time, Bai Liba, the general of the Junshui Battalion, was standing in the big tent of Xiong Hu, the former pioneer of the Chu army, with his hands behind his back, thoughtful.

Because just now, his personal guard said to him with a pale face: King Su, you lack due respect for you, the general.

"Lack of respect...... What?'

Bailiba couldn't help but think of the scene on the bank of the Yanshui River, when he advocated that all the 30,000 Chu soldiers should be slaughtered, because keeping those prisoners would only increase the burden on their Wei army, and they would not get anything in return.

In his opinion, the 30,000 Chu troops were at most enough to leave Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu and high-level generals alone, because only these people were the ones that the Chu State was willing to redeem with ransom after the war.

Human life, especially the lives of civilians, is not valued at all by the vast and populous Chu State.

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness King Su, who was still calling him Uncle Baili in the Junshui camp a month ago, forcibly rejected his decision to look at the overall situation, even if he confronted him, he would protect the more than 30,000 Chu prisoners.

Although there was no argument between the two at the time, this was not good news, to be fair.

Of course, Bailiba didn't think that Zhao Hongrun's actions at that time really had any opinions about him, it was just that the two had different opinions.

But herein lies the problem!

Bai Liba, who has led the troops for many years, knows in his heart that the most taboo thing in an army is the existence of two different voices, which will cause confusion in command and confusion among the soldiers in the army.

An army can only exist with one voice!

In this case, now, should he be headed by Bailiba, the general of the Junshui Battalion, or should it be headed by Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su?

Although there were still 100,000 enemy troops in Yingshui County, the king of Chu Xuancheng Xiong Tuo, Bailiba clearly realized that their top priority at the moment was not how to expand their victory, but to choose a "only voice".

"General, His Royal Highness King Su has arrived."

Outside the tent, there was a Wei soldier of the Junshui Battalion on duty who reported to the tent.

"Please! …… Five more battalion generals were summoned to the commander's tent. ”

"Yes!"

The Wei soldier came out with his fists clenched, and then Zhao Hongrun took Zongwei Shen Yu, as well as the three of Wu Wei Chen Shi, Wang Shu, and Ma Zhang, and walked into the tent.

"His Royal Highness King Su."

"General Baili."

Bailiba and Zhao Hongrun saluted each other and said hello.

"What about the guards around Your Highness?"

"You said Wei Jiao, Lu Mu, Zhang Biao, and Li Meng?" Zhao Hongrun explained with a smile: "I asked them to familiarize themselves with things in the army, and asked the generals of the Junshui Battalion for advice. ”

"I see."

Baili Ba nodded with relief, after all, he also came all the way from Zongwei, so he naturally knew that every person who had been strictly screened and served as the prince Zongwei could become a good general by honing it, after all, they were all handsome men in a hundred.

Even, if one day His Royal Highness King Su ascends the throne as the emperor of Great Wei, like Shen Yu, Wei Jiao, Mu Qing and other sect guards, there is no doubt that the tide will rise and become a general who guards the Quartet and guards the critical places of Great Wei, just like him Bailiba.

What those guards lack now is experience, all kinds of experience.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said to Zhao Hongrun: "The battlefield is the most capable of training a person, I believe that after this battle, the growth of those young juniors, I believe that His Highness will be surprised." ”

"Thanks to the good words of the general." Zhao Hongrun arched his hand and thanked him.

After chatting a few words, the five battalion generals of the Junshui Battalion also came to the Shuai tent one after another.

Seeing this, Baili Ba then introduced to Zhao Hongrun the five battalion generals of their Junshui battalion, and introduced in detail the arms and responsibilities of the army in charge of each of these five people.

The five battalion generals of the Junshui Battalion are:

Left, the commander of the cavalry battalion: Cao Jue - in charge of 5,000 light cavalry.

Right, the general of the good archery battalion: Gong Yuan - 500 sword and shield soldiers, 2,500 longbow soldiers, and 2,000 crossbow soldiers.

In the front, the commander of the first battalion of infantry: Wu Ben - 2,000 spearmen and shield soldiers, 2,500 pikemen, and 500 crossbowmen.

In the middle, the commander of the second battalion of infantry: Li Qi - 4,000 sword and shield soldiers, 1,000 crossbowmen mixed and matched.

Later, the general of the third battalion of infantry: Yu Chun - 5,000 sword soldiers.

These five battalions can be said to be the model of the most elite army of the Great Wei, throughout the entire Great Wei, only the other five local military camps can be compared with the Junshui battalion, such as "Fencheng Sai", "Dangshan" and so on, but the number of troops, the remaining five local military camps are not as good as the Junshui battalion.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the Junshui Battalion can be called the first army of the Great Wei.

"Note: In addition to these five battalions, the Junshui Battalion actually has an out-of-establishment battalion, which is about more than 2,000 alternate non-commissioned officers, responsible for logistics and food for non-commissioned officers, etc. Because of the lack of training in peacetime, the combat power is negligible.'"

After that, Chen Shi, Wang Shu, and Ma Zhang also introduced themselves.

After all, there are about 10,000 Wei soldiers in Yanling at present, and because they have just won a big victory, their morale is high, and it can be said that they are a good combat force.

Therefore, Chen Shi and the other three people, as the generals of this Yanling Wei army, are also rising, otherwise with their identities, how can they be qualified to participate in the military discussion in the commander's tent.

"Now that we're almost done, let's start discussing what's next. …… You may be seated. ”

Bailiba brings the topic back to the current situation.

When everyone in the tent heard this, they subconsciously took their seats according to their rank.

Suddenly, they were stunned, because they found that Baili Ba, who said this, did not mean to sit at all, but looked at Zhao Hongrun with unpredictable eyes.

『……』

Among the people in the tent, the expressions of several people changed slightly.

Because then they suddenly realized that there was an empty seat in the tent.

And, there is only one.
