The remnant sun is like blood, and the already blood-stained battlefield is even more crimson.

The sound of killing gradually fell silent, only a few screams sounded from time to time, it was a seriously injured barbarian soldier who was not dead, being mended by the Wei soldiers.

Su Zhe had climbed onto the hill where Meng Huo had been, condescendingly, looking down on the entire bloody battlefield from afar.

As far as the eye could see, the corpses of the barbarian army were scattered all over the mountains, and countless banners were scattered on the battlefield, allowing the Wei soldiers to trample on them.

Only the battle flags with the word "Wei" fluttered proudly in the wind

Not long after, Deng Ai, Zhang Xiu, Tai Shici and other generals all climbed the mountain to face the saint.

"Fortunately, the minister did not disgrace his life, and finally survived until the arrival of His Majesty's reinforcements." Tai Shi Ci bowed his hand to meet first.

Su Zhe patted him on the shoulder and praised with a smile: "Ziyi, you have made meritorious contributions in this battle, and I will add five hundred food to you!" ”

"This is a matter for the ministers, thank you, Your Majesty." Tai Shi Ci is busy is thanks.

Then, Deng Ai and Zhang Xiu successively presented the heads of the two barbarian generals, the Golden Ring Three Knots and the Busy Tooth Chief.

Su Zhe praised and comforted the two of them, and also gave them more food on the spot.

"It's a pity, let Zhurong's slut run away, we couldn't capture him alive and dedicate him to Your Majesty." Deng Ai sighed.

Su Zhe sneered: "What's the hurry, that slut can't escape from my palm sooner or later, next time there will be a chance." ”

At this time, the veteran Yan Yan said again: "Your Majesty, we also captured nearly 5,000 barbarian troops in this battle, please show your Majesty how to deal with it?" ”

"Decapitate them all, not a single one will be left!" Su Zhe gave the order without thinking, and his words exuded a fierce domineering murderous intent.

Yan Yan's figure was awe-inspiring, and he looked at Su Zhe in surprise, obviously he didn't expect that Su Zhe would be so ruthless, he didn't blink his eyes, and he said that he would kill.

He opened his mouth to say something, but he stopped talking.

"General Yan has something to say directly, I have always liked people who speak out." Su Zhe saw that he had something to say.

Yan Yan hesitated for a moment, and said: "Forgive the old minister for saying an offensive word, since the five thousand barbarian troops have been captured, why doesn't Your Majesty be gentle with them, if you kill the prisoners like this, I am afraid that you will be slandered and damage Your Majesty's reputation of benevolence and righteousness." ”

Su Zhe laughed, and his laughter was full of sarcasm.

Yan Yan was stunned, looking at the tone of laughter, looking puzzled.

The laughter stopped, but Su Zhe said disdainfully: "Old General Yan, do you think that I, like Liu Bei, like to boast of benevolence and righteousness, use the banner of benevolence and righteousness to deceive the world?" ”

Yan Yan's body was shocked, and his eyes were shocked.

Su Zhe said proudly: "I have laid the current foundation, relying on iron-blooded killing, relying on the knife in my hand to be sharp enough!" The people of the world surrender to me, not because I am kind and righteous to them, but because I can give them a bite to eat, I can give them peace, and I can keep them from being oppressed by the powerful of the world. ”

"Benevolence and righteousness, that's a means that only the weak have to use, do you think I care?"

After hearing Su Zhe's frank rhetoric, Yan Yan's body shook and fell into a deep shock.

At this moment, he realized that the Great Wei Tianzi in front of him was very different from his former lord Liu Bei.

It's not just the means, the resource, but also the bearing.

The kind of extraordinary bearing that regards the slander of the people of the world as nothing, stands proudly in the world and looks down on all beings.

That's the kind of grace that only God has!

At this time, Lu Xun on the side also said: "The barbarians are capricious, even if they are benevolent and righteous, they will not be grateful, as long as there is a chance, they will turn back, it is better to kill their young and strong, weaken their strength, so that they have no confidence to rebel." ”

Su Zhe nodded slightly, and looked at Lu Xun with appreciative eyes.

Yan Yan took a deep breath and arched his hand: "Your Majesty's insight and bearing are very accessible, and the old minister is now sincerely convinced, and the old minister will go to pass the order." ”

Yan Yan Pegasus went down the mountain.

When the order was laid, the more than 5,000 barbarian soldiers who were tied up on the battlefield were quickly reprimanded and fell to their knees.

Thousands of Wei soldiers, thousands of swords raised high, with an order, the blade ruthlessly cut down, and the heads of the barbarians fell to the ground in response.

For a moment, the howls and begs for mercy under the hills resounded one after another, resounding over the field.

Su Zhe ignored the howls of the barbarians and admired the pomp and circumstance of the killing with great interest.

Finally, before the last remnant sun set, the five thousand barbarians were killed cleanly, and not a single one was left.

Su Zhe then ordered that five thousand barbarian heads be hung on both sides of the avenue to guard and deter those who were still resisting.

Then, Su Zhe cleaned up the battlefield and led the victorious soldiers to go straight to the city.

Su Zhe's army was pursuing, and Meng Shu and his remnants were defeated, but they panicked and fled all the way towards Yudao City.

Tens of thousands of defeated soldiers did not dare to stay for half a minute, and escaped for more than 100 miles in one go, and finally fled back to Yandao City.

Meng Shu fled back to the city alive, and those living barbarian soldiers, when they learned that Meng Shu was still there, rushed to the ant gathering one after another.

Meng was counted the casualties on the battlefield, and the casualties in this battle plus the losses of the Wei soldiers were as high as 10,000, and only 40,000 of the more than 50,000 soldiers and horses remained.

In addition, several generals such as the Golden Ring Three Knots, the Busy Tooth Chief, and so on all died in the chaos.

In addition to the Zhu Rong Division, which he wanted to weaken, the remaining soldiers and horses also lost nearly six or seven thousand, which was definitely a heavy blow to Meng Shu.

It was not only the soldiers who were hit hard, but also Meng Xu's ambition.

Just a few days ago, he was still dreaming of the Emperor of Great Shu, thinking that he would be an exception and would be the first person to defeat Su Zhe, the Emperor of Great Wei.

A few days later, Su Zhe used a bloody killing to shatter Meng Shu's dream and crush his pride and self-confidence.

Now, Meng Huo, who was hurt, finally felt the strength of the Emperor of Great Wei and realized that with his own strength, let alone attacking Su Zhe, even if he held the city of Yandao, it would be a problem.

He had the idea of retreating.

In view of Su Zhe's strong strength and the huge disparity in the strength of the two sides after this battle, Meng Yu had a premonition that Yudao City would not be able to defend it, so he had the idea of abandoning the city and fleeing south and retreating to his nest in the south.

As for Liu Bei's holy decree and Liu Bei's various promises, he can only break his promises.

After all, Su Zhe's capture of Yandao City was equivalent to severing the connection between the southern and central counties and the north.

If he is lucky, Su Zhe will not take care of his "small role" for the time being, and concentrate his northern forces to attack Chengdu.

In this way, the Nanzhong counties were isolated by the Wei army, and the Taishou appointed by Liu Bei were likely to choose to submit to him, so that he could hold the seven counties of Nanzhong firmly in his hands.

As for whether Su Zhe will turn around and clean him up after seizing Yizhou in the future, that is already a matter of the future, and he can't take care of such a long-term plan now.

Meng Shou then summoned Duosi, Zhu Rong, brought and other leaders to tell his intention to abandon the city and retreat south.

All the generals suffered Su Zhe's great loss, and they were deeply jealous of the Wei army, so naturally no one objected, and they were all in favor of abandoning the city and retreating south.

Seeing that there was no objection, Meng Yu stood up, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Since this is the case, let's make a decision, you should quickly make preparations, and abandon the city and retreat south tonight." ”

At this moment, a proud voice suddenly sounded outside the hall.

"The king doesn't need to withdraw his troops, the Wei army will be handed over to me to clean up!"
