Chapter 265: The Great War is over, and all grievances are gone!

"Hebei athletes! --Die or not! ”

"Hebei athletes! --Die or not! ”

…………………………

As the saying goes: 'Trapped beasts are still fighting, not to be underestimated', hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Yuan army, were besieged on the south bank of the Yellow River, there is no way out, there are chasing soldiers, there is no food and grass inside, there is no rescue outside, in such a desperate situation, most of the people abandon their armor and throw knives, become the prisoners of the Cao army, and there are also a small number of people, stubbornly resisting, dying and struggling, staged a very tragic scene!

When the father and son of the Yuan family fled, Fu Zhu, Zhang He, and Gao Ran were responsible for the break, they relied on their prestige, they gathered some people and horses, retreated into a river bay, and used the terrain surrounded by water on three sides to form a formation, fighting desperately, thirsty to drink the turbid river water, hungry to fill the hunger with river mussels, swallowed alive, like wild beasts, just refused to come out and surrender!

In the face of such a stubborn enemy, Cao Jun hated and admired it, in order to alleviate the casualties of men and horses, he had to close the siege heavily, slowly approach, compress the opponent's activity space, and at the same time send a small force of cavalry, day and night to launch an attack, in order to consume Yuan Jun's physical strength, and when the time is ripe, then launch a fatal blow!

Fu Zhu, Zhang He, Gao Ran is worthy of being loyal and righteous, even if they are deeply encircled, they are not cowardly at all, they organized people several times, and launched a breakthrough outward, but Cao's army was besieged, like an iron wall, and the breakthrough failed!

Next, Yuan Jun still did not give up, they cut down the trees by the river, and wanted to cross the river on a raft, but Xiao Yi had already prepared, the Xuanjia army lined up on the north bank, and under the fire of ten thousand arrows, there was not a single live mouth left, and they fed the fish and shrimp in vain!

Manpower is sometimes poor, even the strongest soldiers, can not be in the case of food and shortage, has been fighting bloodily, three days later - at noon, a white flag was raised, the remnants of the Yuan army finally surrendered!

……………………………………………………………………………………

"Days of bloody fighting, resisting the army, are the sins of the two of us, we are willing to die under the sword and axe, and I hope that the prime minister will be merciful and forgive the remaining soldiers--woo!"

The leaders who came out to surrender were Zhang He and Gao Lan, the two looked haggard, scarred, their armor was torn, their swords were broken, and after walking out of the encirclement, they knelt down under the banner of Cao Jun, willing to exchange their lives for their subordinates for a way out!

Zhang He, Gao Ran bow horse skillful, brave and good at fighting, ranked among the 'four famous generals of Hebei', since the Guandu War, they have been the vanguard of the Yuan army, all the hard battles, evil battles, dangerous battles, can always see their figures, charge in front, retreat in the back, tactics are also quite attained, killed and injured a large number of enemy troops, mention the names of the two, Cao Jun gritted his teeth!

The two of them were at the end of their rope, and they came to kneel down and ask for surrender, how could they easily let it go, Cao Jun's generals suggested that there was revenge, there were grievances and complaints, and the two of them were cut with thousands of knives, and then their heads were used to sacrifice the soldiers who died in battle, but this suggestion did not succeed, because there was one person who opposed it - Cao Cao!

"Haha! …… The two generals are brave and loyal, they are good generals in the world, the old man has admired them for a long time, how can he do harm at will, and he will serve faithfully in the future, and he will be prosperous and rich - he will be prosperous! ”

Cao Cao personally stepped forward to help, and asked people to take gold armor and brocade robes, and gave them to Zhang He and Gao Lan, and ordered them to be promoted to one level on the spot, and they still stayed in the army, taking charge of the heavy responsibilities of soldiers and horses.

For the enemy generals who surrendered, there were no thousands of knives, but they were given to high-ranking officials Houlu, this is the means of traitorous males, in Cao Cao's understanding, Zhang He and Gao are like two sharp knives, they charged into battle, killed and injured many Cao soldiers, but they did their duty as a knife, and they did not have any fault in themselves, and the person who made the mistake was the person who used the knife - Yuan Shao!

Now that Yuan Shao is defeated, the two generals come to surrender, which is equivalent to the knife falling into the hands of Cao Cao, as a person who understands, he will never destroy the captured weapons, on the contrary, he must also take care of it, polish it more sharply, and use it to charge into battle and kill the enemy!

The last Yuan army also surrendered, but there was a lack of one person - frustration, Cao Cao was very concerned about this, hoping to subdue another strategist, that is, everyone was happy, but the soldiers had tears in their eyes, all of them were silent, in desperation, Cao Cao sent a large group of cavalry, searched repeatedly on the battlefield, and finally found the body of frustration on the bank of the Yellow River!

Dressed in a green shirt, with a broken sword, a corpse ambushed, and blood flowed five steps...... Frustrated and killed, on the bank of the Yellow River, facing the direction of Yecheng, he died very peacefully, and there were two last words on the river beach: The man is loyal and bloody, and he dares to face the blue sky after death!

"There are so many righteous people in Hebei, it's a pity that Yuan Benchu can't use it, Tian Feng is like this, and so is frustration, if there is a person who reuses it and uses the strategy in his chest, the outcome of the battle of Guandu will probably be rewritten, such a talent: a pity! Alas! ”

Seeing the last words of frustration, Cao Cao sighed for a long time, stepped forward and bowed and bowed, so that people could prepare a good coffin, with the etiquette of a scholar, buried on the south bank of the Yellow River, and set up a temple to worship, and the tomb of Tian Feng on the north bank - echoing from afar, writing loyalty, Hebei pillars, both broken!

Speaking from the heart, the death of Tian Feng and Fu Zhi was of course because they did not meet a good lord, they did not listen to good policies, and they did not accept their advice, and in the end, the whole army was destroyed, and two geniuses in the world were involved!

However, this is also related to Tian Feng and Fu Zhu's personality and vision, if they choose a Ming master, such as Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei...... will definitely show his talents, become a generation of virtuous ministers, and leave a good name in history!

Taking a step back, if the two of them had softer personalities and more ingenious methods, Yuan Shao might have obeyed, so as not to let a group of despicable villains affect the major affairs of the military state, and eventually lead to the demise of the Hebei group!

The world of great contention lies in talents, not only the wise man chooses the minister, the virtuous minister also chooses the king, can cooperate with the tacit understanding, and achieve great things, one is to gamble on luck, and the other is to look at the vision!

At this point, the Guandu War finally ended, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, the two strongest princes, invested hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, mobilized millions of people, spent countless military salaries, grain and grass, ordnance, poured all their efforts, shocking gambles, lasted eight months, the bloody battle continued, countless casualties, the final result: Cao Cao used strategy, defeated the strong with the weak, defeated the old enemy in life, and laid the foundation of the king!

Especially in the last few days, Cao's soldiers and horses attacked on all fronts, broke through the camp of the Yuan army in one fell swoop, beheaded more than 80,000, forced into the Yellow River - drowned more than 100,000 people, the dead bodies piled up, the river was congested, the Yellow River water did not flow, it was really miserable, and the prisoners were countless, all over the mountains and fields, all of them were ---the elite soldiers of Hebei, and most of them died in this battle!

As for Yuan Shao, who escaped, he was like a lion without claws, and there was no need to worry, Hebei's strategists, brave generals, and elite soldiers...... It is almost lost, without these people, the land of the four states will not be able to hold, and within three years, the Yuan clan will die!

………………………………………………………………………………

In summer, the weather is hot and prone to plague outbreaks, and how to dispose of the corpses like mountains has become a big problem, and some people suggested: 'Throw them all into the Yellow River and feed the fish, shrimp, turtles and crabs, which is clean and labor-saving, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!' ’

Some people also suggested: corpses are also resources, should not be wasted in vain, it is better to imitate the habits of the Great Sima, on the south bank of the Yellow River, to build a giant 'Jingguan', which proves the military might of the Prime Minister, and can intimidate the people of Hebei, so that they no longer dare to resist, this is the best way!

Two methods, each with its own merits, one saves worry and effort to avoid the plague, and the other shows off his might and intimidates the enemy, for this matter, Cao Jun divided the school into two major factions, noisy and debated, and before the result was discussed, the strategist Guo Jia spoke: "The two methods are extremely bad, and one cannot be used!" ”

"Xiao Lang is addicted to killing, and likes to build a 'Jingguan' with corpses, but what is it, Xiao Yi slaughtered all of them for foreign races, Yanmen slaughtered the Huns, Longyou Tu clan, and Dunhuang slaughtered Hu Qian...... The means are fierce, iron-blooded and ruthless, greatly invigorate the majesty of the Han family, deter the barbarians from all directions, and in the future, it will be full of reputation, and it will be full of slander!

Today's things are different, the soldiers of the Yuan army who died in the battle are also the blood of the Han family, killing each other on the battlefield, they are already ashamed of their ancestors, using their bones to build the 'Jingguan', or throwing them into the Yellow River to feed the fish and shrimp, it is definitely not the work of a righteous man and a gentleman, and people of insight in the world will also be deeply spurned!

Besides, the relatives of these fallen soldiers, all living in the four prefectures of Hebei, abused the corpses today, formed a deep feud in the sea of blood, tomorrow's army Northern Expedition, will inevitably be difficult step by step, there are enemies everywhere, and the great cause of the prime minister to unify the Central Plains may add a lot of resistance! ”

Guo Jia talked eloquently, telling the reason why he couldn't 'abuse the corpse', and the serious consequences it caused, as for Xiao Yi's fierce style, he is the only one in the world and will never be able to follow suit!

"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, the old man, as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, should be benevolent, how can he abuse the bones and lose the hearts of the people in the world, the war is over, and the past grievances are gone!"

Cao Cao has always been good, and immediately passed down a military order, choose a feng shui treasure, carefully bury the bones, and then build a temple, invite Taoist priests and wizards, and use the most solemn rituals to surpass the heroic souls who died in battle, so that their souls can return to their hometowns and enjoy family sacrifices!

As for the hundreds of thousands of prisoners, they were temporarily escorted to Wuchao, where there are swamps on all sides, there is only a small passage, and the whole natural prison is a natural prison, and it is better to hold the prisoners, and then let Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan lead 50,000 horses and garrison them at the exit, and it will be foolproof!

After all the arrangements were ready, Cao Jun beat the war drums, sang triumphant songs, and the whole army marched back to the camp to celebrate the victory.
