All of this was over after dawn, when the first rays of sunlight reached the camp of Lei Bo.

Including the raging fires, after quarantine, after burning a few tents, they were also extinguished.

Zhao Qian looked at Lei Bo and asked again, "Lei Bo, can you be convinced?" ”

Lei Bo let out a long sigh and said a little dejectedly: "Why didn't the general kill me?" ”

At the end of this battle, Lei Bo felt helpless and very ashamed, his army of 30,000 was easily defeated by Zhao Qian's 5,000 people.

Moreover, of his 30,000 army, less than 1,000 people were killed in battle, and most of them surrendered!

This is simply using his own incompetence, which is very advantageous to set off Zhao Qian's command of the army.

"It's not good for me to kill it." Zhao Qian said proudly, looking at Lei Bo condescendingly.

In Yuan Shu's camp, in addition to the dead Zhang Xun and Ji Ling, this Lei Bo can also be regarded as the No. 1 award, however, if it comes to Zhao Qian.

Not to mention Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, even if it is Gao Shun and Zang Ba, they are much stronger than Lei Bo, in terms of his ability, in Zhao Qian, being able to be a deputy general is already regarded as promoting him.

Therefore, even if Yuan Shu is sitting in Huaiyang and has many sergeants under him, however, there are no outstanding generals, let alone Zhao Qian, even if it is a general under Zhao Qian, he does not take Yuan Shu in his eyes.

After taking down Lei Bo, Zhao Qian had already ordered someone to send an order back to the Ruyang camp and ordered Xu Chu to bring people to receive the prisoners.

In this battle, under the planning of Zhao Qian, the two sides that originally had a huge disparity in strength reversed the victory and defeat because of the night attack.

Of the 30,000 Huaiyang troops, less than 1,000 were killed in the battle, and the rest surrendered one after another, and did not even flee.

It seems that not only is the main general inferior to Zhao Qian's generals, but even this Huaiyang sergeant is more than a little worse than Zhao Qian's army.

After counting the battlefield, Ma Chao came to Zhao Qian's side and said, "Lord, there are too many prisoners, isn't it?" ”

Ma Chao made a movement to wipe his neck, and the meaning was obvious, that is, to kill these captives.

Killing prisoners has always been an unkind act on the battlefield, and it is likely that when you return from the battle, you will be criticized by everyone.

Back then, the Qin State Bai Qi killed 400,000 soldiers of the Zhao State, which was really an important foundation for the Qin State to destroy the Zhao State, but Bai Qi was later killed because of this.

In addition, if there are many prisoners, the consumption of food is a very big problem, and the battle is not over yet, if the food is eaten by the captives first, it will be a big joke.

A little more, there are too many prisoners, and management is also a problem, these nearly 30,000 prisoners, there are too many people to take care of, and the rest of the battle cannot be fought; There are fewer people watching, and in case of a mutiny, it will be enough.

Although Zhao Qiannai was mainly a captive Yellow Turban Army back then, these two are completely different situations.

The Yellow Turban Army back then was a group of rabble, and they couldn't even eat, so they couldn't eat with Zhao Qian, and they didn't want anything else.

And these Huaiyang sergeants are different, many of them have already started a family, and their families are in Huaiyang, at this time they were forced to be helpless, surrendered to Zhao Qian, and one day they were rebelled, and if they were not handled well, they would plant a bomb in their own team.

Therefore, there is another reason for not killing Lei Bo, that is, to leave these Huaiyang troops with the idea of life, otherwise, people can do anything when they are desperate.

Ma Chao's suggestion is simple and rude, although it will definitely leave infamy, but it will be done once and for all, and it can save a lot of manpower and material resources.

But Zhao Qian refused without hesitation, it was not that Zhao Qian was soft-hearted, but these were all the people of the Han Dynasty and the soldiers of the Han family.

If it was a battlefield battle, Zhao Qian would naturally be ruthless, but at this time, they had already disarmed, how could they kill again, he was not an executioner, nor a butcher.

"Meng Qi, I am ordered by the Son of Heaven to be a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, surrender and do not submit, and crusade against traitors, can I kill in vain? They are also the people of the Great Han Dynasty, but they were deceived by Yuan Shu, and now they have surrendered to this general, and they should be given a chance to reform themselves. Zhao Qian said loudly.

Those soldiers heard these words clearly, and they were immediately frightened into a cold sweat, they didn't expect their lives to turn around in a circle on the ghost gate.

"Thank you for the general's grace not to kill, we are willing to swear to the death!"

"Willing to go to the soup for the general!"

"Willing to be a general, cattle and horses, let it be driven!"

The Huaiyang troops immediately knelt down in a large area, and those behind didn't know why, but they also knelt down, expressing their loyalty and shouting slogans.

Zhao Qian has seen a big scene, so he naturally doesn't believe in the slogans and loyalty of these soldiers, but he still has to do what he should do.

"As long as you sincerely belong to you, this general will go to the Son of Heaven to ask for your life and avoid your sins!" Zhao Qian said loudly.

"Thank you, General!" All the Huaiyang troops saluted in unison.

Zhao Qian thought for a while, then walked up to Lei Bo, who was tied up with five flowers, and asked, "General Ben asks you, are you the Han general of the Son of Heaven, or the general of Yuan Shujia?" ”

Lei Bo was stunned for a moment, and instinctively wanted to say that he was Yuan Shu's general, but after thinking about it, if he said so, there would be only a dead end.

Lei Bo immediately thought that when Yuan Shu named himself a general, he also went to the court, so he said that of course he was a Han general.

"I'm a general!" After Lei Bo figured it out, he hurriedly said.
