As the sun set, after a day of fierce fighting outside the Shangchun Gate, the silence finally returned to this moment, the battlefield was full of broken flags, cold corpses, damaged weapons and armor, stumps and broken arms, blood and brains mixed with blood and brains flowing on this loess land, and the air was filled with a disgusting breath.

The Wei soldiers, who had just won a great victory, were gathering in twos and threes, happily boasting with their companions about their heroic performance in the battle, while in contrast, the Sui troops in the eastern capital were tied up in rows in despair, their eyes only confused, and their faces full of fear for the future.

The battle was over and ended with a complete victory for the Wei army, except for the Shan Xiongxin Wai Ma Army, which was sent to pursue Dugu Wudu, Liu Xie, and Liu Xu, the rest of the Wei army was cleaning up the battlefield and cleaning up the spoils obtained by each department, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

In the middle of the Wei army, Jia Runfu was collecting the results reported by various departments, and said to Li Mi with a smile: "King Wei, in this battle, our army broke through the Sui army and won a complete victory, beheading more than 18,700 people and capturing more than 23,000 people at the cost of more than 8,000 casualties!" What's even more commendable is that the Sui court's civil department Shangshu Weijin was beheaded by our army, and the more than 40,000 Sui troops under his command were almost wiped out except for a small number of escapes! ”

Li Mi looked at the stiff corpse in front of him, Wei Jin's eyes were still open, and he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Bury Lord Wei alive!" ”

"And what about these captives?" Jia Runfu asked.

Li Mi pondered for a moment and ordered: "Now the first priority is to attack the Eastern Capital, the Eastern Capital occupies a huge area, and it is the first fortified city in the world, we must take the Eastern Capital as soon as possible, and then return to Liyang, these prisoners will all be escorted to Huiluocang, and handed over to Bing Yuanzhen for temporary care!" ”

"No! King Wei's generosity and kindness made his subordinates admire! Bing Yuanzhen licked a sentence, and then retreated happily.

Immediately, Jia Runfu frowned and said: "King Wei, the people captured by the Pushan Gongying and the Neima Army are handed over to the Wagang Department for management, and the prisoners captured by Pei Zhuguo and them in the bloody battle are also handed over to the Wagang Department for management, isn't it... ”

Hearing this, Li Mi stopped and said disapprerovingly: "Hey, Runfu, everyone is in one camp, don't deliberately create divisions!" What's more, Bing Yuan is really a human being, and Lone knows it very well, I believe he will deal with it impartially! ”

At this point, Jia Runfu hooked his mouth, but swallowed all the words that came to his mouth.

And the former Sui servant Yushi, now the left Sima Zheng of the Wei army, said quietly: "Bing Yuanzhen privately traded with Wang Shichong and made a lot of war money, does the King of Wei know about this matter?" ”

Hearing this, Li Mi's face changed, and he said embarrassedly: "This, this matter is known to Lone, because we have a lot of food and little money, after every war, Lone is worried that there is no property to reward the soldiers, and the money and silk in the eastern capital are piled up, but there is a lack of food, so Gu Gu specially authorized Bing Yuan to do it!" ”

Zheng asked forcefully: "The king of Wei knows that the eastern capital is short of food, why should he fund the enemy with food?" Our army lacks property and can be dragged for the time being, but there is no food in the eastern capital, and it must not last for a long time! In the past, Wang Shichong led an army of more than 100,000 to confront our army, and dozens or hundreds of people came to surrender every day because of the lack of food for the enemy army, but since the beginning of this secret transaction, the king of Wei can see that the enemy army has come to surrender in front of our army one by one? ”

"Well, I really haven't seen the enemy come to surrender on their own initiative." Li Mi was speechless when asked.

Zheng Ying continued: "Such a stupid strategy, it must be Bing Yuanzhen's idea!" He is greedy and vulgar by nature, so clever and cunning, the king of Wei handed over such a great power to him, and the grain in the back Luocang is piled up, he can just resell it and make a lot of war money, but the actual damage is the interests of the king of Wei! Think again! ”

Zheng Ying opened the conversation, and Jia Runfu also followed: "Yes, King Wei, I have long wanted to mention this matter to you!" The grain that Bing Yuanzhen resold has far exceeded the advance you gave him, and the extra part has long been put into his own pocket, so it is not a way to go on like this! The eastern capital is high and deep, and once there is enough food, you can recruit troops and buy horses, and you will hold on for a long time! ”

Speaking of which, the soldiers in the Chinese army also followed the rhythm of Zheng Ying and Jia Runfu, and asked Li Mi to take back his fate.

Li Mi was a little embarrassed and said: "This is all Lone who was dizzy for a while, and Lone ordered that Bing Yuanzhen no longer trade with Wang Shichong." ”

Right Sima Zheng Qianxiang further persuaded: "King Wei, please forgive me for speaking out!" The rule of our army is to reward meritorious deeds, and the question of the ownership of prisoners of war has always belonged to the execution of the capturing troops themselves, even if the King of Wei is ready to implement unified management, it cannot be handed over to Bing Yuanzhen of the Wagang line! ”

Li Mi sighed: "You guys, why are you so shallow! Now the situation is very good, every day there are talents to defect, the power is also thriving, lonely is sooner or later to replace the Sui, the founding of the country, not compared to the previous era of mountains and mountains, each is the king! We must abandon the old thinking and management model of the past, and establish new rules and regulations, so that we can adapt to our larger and larger institutional regime! ”

Zheng Ying hooked his mouth and said, "King Wei, what you said, you understand it below!" But the fact that our army is full of mountains and complicated factions is a real problem, and this cannot be changed overnight! Even if you want to change, you have to choose a neutral person, Bing Yuanzhen was born in the Wagang family, and he has too much friendship with Zhai Rang, so he is really not a suitable candidate! Because of the past, many brothers and people from the Wagang family have formed a bond, at this critical moment, King Wei, you don't want to think about the brothers below, but also think about yourself! ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Mi's heart was troubled!

As the most powerful man in the world at this moment, the only thing he fears in his heart is the old things that Huo Zhai Rang did a few years ago. Although this matter is a last resort, it is a key step for him to win the world, but after all, it is a loss of love and righteousness, and he is very afraid that others will take it out and say something!

"Whew~! Then the lonely will take back his life, and the more than 20,000 captives will be handed over to you! Li Mi let out a long breath, his expression suddenly became complicated, although his heart was still extremely entangled, but reason and intuition were telling him what to choose!

Zheng Cheng bowed to Li Mi and said respectfully: "King Wei Mingjian, there is absolutely no selfishness in the next place!" To persuade me like this, it is really for the sake of my Dawei! In the next can be promoted, this person is both talented and has no faction, and he should be the best person for King Wei to implement the new policy! ”

Li Mi muttered, "Who?" ”

Zheng Ying replied: "Shi Derui, the former Sui Dynasty doctor who responded to the King of Wei with Wei's county!" ”

Li Mi was in a state of confusion at the moment, and seeing that Jia Runfu had no objection, he nodded and agreed: "Then leave it to him to deal with!" ”

Zheng Ying bowed and said: "King Wei is wise! ”
