Chapter 49: Receiving the Pawn

As the commander of the first army, Wei Zhongquan stood on the command platform above the camp, looking down on all this and controlling the overall situation.

When the overall situation was decided, he stepped down from the stage, stepped into the outside of the camp, and commanded the army at close range.

According to the habit of the battlefield, he did not hesitate to issue a cruel order: kill all the more than 5,000 Zheng Guo defeated soldiers!

And just then, a voice stopped him.

"That's enough, that's it."

Wei Zhongquan was taken aback, looked back in astonishment, and then said respectfully: "Why did Your Majesty come out, this place is dangerous, please also take the dragon body as the priority, move for the time being, and wait until the battle situation is completely stabilized, and it will not be too late for Your Majesty to come in person." ”

Yang Mu shook his head, waved his hand and said, "The general doesn't need to worry, I know it in my heart." ”

Wei Zhongquan opened his mouth, wanting to continue persuading, but thinking of His Majesty's temper, he still didn't say anything.

Anyway, you have an absolute advantage, and there should be no danger.

Yang Mu glanced at the miserable situation of those Zheng Guo soldiers, shook his head and said: "Stop, our army has won this battle, and if you continue to kill it, it will be just a massacre, and you will have dirty hands." ”

Wei Zhongquan frowned and reminded: "Your Majesty thinks twice, the minister thinks that keeping prisoners at this time is just a needless increase in the burden on our army......"

Hearing this, Yang Mu glanced at Wei Zhongquan with a calm face: "Order it to stop, these soldiers, don't kill!" ”

"This ...... Yes, yes! Wei Zhongquan hesitated, took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Order the whole army, don't kill if you fall!" ”

One pass ten, ten pass hundred, after hearing the news, the Cangguo soldiers who were fighting hard were suddenly stunned, and then slowed down their movements and began to shout to persuade them to surrender.

"Lay down your arms, don't kill those who descend!"

"Lay down your arms, don't kill those who descend!"

"Lay down your arms, don't kill those who descend!"

Hearing the persuasion of the soldiers of Cangguo, the remnants of the more than 5,000 stubborn and stubborn soldiers were defeated and desperate, and they put down their weapons one after another, buried their heads and knelt on the ground, and many people actually cried bitterly.

"What about Chen Shou, the enemy's commander?" At this time, Wei Zhongquan finally discovered a problem, the command office of the enemy army, which should have been surrounded a long time ago, was empty, and Chen Shou, as the chief general of the first army, and a cadre of personal guards disappeared.

Chen Shou...... Escaped?

"How is that possible?!" Qu Yong turned over from the horse, his eyes widened like copper bells: "Lao Tzu specially sent a team of 100 people to intercept him, how could he let him run away!" ”

He rode his horse and ran over in disbelief, and sure enough, he found that Chen Shou and the others were nowhere to be found, and even the hundred-man team with him was nowhere to be found.

"Raised by a son of a bitch, shouldn't you lose it?" Qu Yong, who had a vulgar personality, scolded, but before he could finish scolding, his voice suddenly stopped abruptly.

For he found that smoke and dust were flying in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves was bursting, and a group of flying horses was rushing towards him.

Own?

Flying closer, he realized that the leading horse was riding a soldier under his command, named Hu Xiao.

The reason why I can recognize this soldier at a glance is because this person is so special, from a civilian background, but he is very brave, and he rushes to the forefront in every training and battle, although he is an ordinary soldier, but even if he is a ten-division commander, the centurion also favors it, and has praised it many times.

If it weren't for his bad background, he would have become a centurion a long time ago.

"Hey, this kid on horseback?"

Looking closely, you can vaguely see a figure on the back of the horse behind Hu Xiao, and there is a circle of human heads hanging from his waist.

"Whew!"

Qu Yong took a long breath, could these people have chased them out and taken the heads of the enemy's main generals and personal guards?

At this time, Yang Mu and Wei Zhongquan also saw this scene, and saw that the pair of flying horses stopped and carried a person off the horse...... As well as a bunch of heads.

Fourteen remaining.

"You're the only one?" Qu Yong stepped forward and asked.

Hu Xiao shook his head: "Don't worry, general, the brothers are divided into two roads, and the other team of brothers is still on the road, and the total loss is only about 20 people." ”

Qu Yong nodded when he heard this, killing so many personal guards and capturing the other party's main general, only losing more than two dozen people, it was already something worth boasting about.

Chen Shou, who was carried down, was in a state of fainting at this time, Qu Yong walked over, and used the short blade in his hand to make a cut on Chen Shou's shoulder, and the blood flowed.

"Ahh Chen Shou was woken up by pain, gritted his teeth, and sweated like rain.

"Hold it down, take care of it, and wait for Your Majesty to send it." Qu Yong commanded.

"Yes!"

Then, Qu Yong came to Yang Mu's approach again, saluted respectfully, and looked at the soldiers who were bound and escorted one by one, his eyebrows were full of melancholy.

After hesitating for a moment, he still said: "Your Majesty, what should we do with these pawns next?" More than 5,000 Zheng army prisoners are a heavy burden on our army, and the total number of soldiers we have on this expedition is only 5,000......"

"It seems that you think the same thing as General Wei." Yang Mu glanced at Qu Yong, shook his head and said, "Our army has already won, and if we continue to kill, it will just be a senseless slaughter...... Do you think you only killed the 5,000 Zheng Junguo soldiers? No! In fact, what you killed was the possibility that the soldiers of the enemy country would surrender to our army in the future...... If our army does not take prisoners, they will never give up the struggle even if our army has the opportunity to push another army to a dead end in the future...... These 5,000 Zheng Guo captives are tantamount to a signboard and a letter of commitment, understand? ”

Qu Yong was relieved when he heard this: "Your Majesty means that the soldiers of Zheng Guo will gradually realize that they have surrendered to our Cangguo and still have a chance to survive......"

"Exactly." Yang Mu nodded, and said with a straight face: "In this way, in the future, in the future with the enemy, as long as our side has an advantage, the enemy army will no longer fight the trapped beast, not only can the strength of our soldiers be preserved, but also from the beginning of the battle, the morale of the enemy army can be gradually weakened, so that it does not have the determination to fight to the death...... Preferential treatment of prisoners should become a basic policy of our army, and it must be unswervingly implemented. ”

Qu Yong nodded again and again: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, and the last general will admire it!" After that, the last general must obey the emperor's orders and make our army invincible! ”

Yang Mu smiled slightly: "Don't forget, my Cangguo only has a population of 700,000, and we need more soldiers to fight in the future, these oppressed ordinary soldiers actually don't have the concept of many great borders, and they can also become the people of my Dacang in the future and fight for my Dacang......"

Fight for my great firmament......

Qu Yong echoed repeatedly in his heart...... His Majesty's heart seems to be bigger than everyone imagined, and the ambition is magnificent, perhaps no one guessed it......

Thinking of this, Qu Yong couldn't help but lower his head, clenched his fists heavily, and then retreated and left, organizing the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
