——

In the tent, Bai Qi thought for a while, and then said: "After this battle, the land of thousands of miles in Jianghuai East County will be incorporated into the territory of our country, and only the land of Yan Ying will be left in the Chu State on the north bank of the river. There is a way that the soldiers are noble and fast, our army should take advantage of the victory to pursue, and then take Yan Ying, then we can completely break the wings of the Chu State, so that it no longer has the strength to go north, or it can only retreat to the south of the Yangtze River in panic all day long, and weaken Chu in a battle, so as to ensure that our Jiangdong will always be solid and worry-free, and there will be no more troubles in Chu. ”

……

Morning song.

A single cavalry reported Pegasus entering the city.

In the main hall of Panlong Palace, before the Pegasus scout entered the palace with a letterhead in his hand, he knelt on one knee under the main hall and presented the letterhead with both hands: "King Qiyu, good news on the front line: Chu State was defeated, and Zhaoyang was martyred by himself." Our guard army beheaded 100,000 enemies, and dropped 200,000 Chu troops in the nest, which is Wu Anjun's letter. ”

Wei Zheng didn't say a word, he really rose in response, and suddenly, all the ministers and officials in the temple were excited and bowed to the king, shouting in unison: "Congratulations to my king, congratulations to my king——! ”

The old chamberlain hurriedly took the letter in the scout's hand and walked quickly to Wei Zheng's hand, and the latter opened the letterhead and looked at it when the ministers were excitedly discussing, and did not say a word throughout the whole process. After a long time, he threw the letterhead in his hand on the table, and the excited Wei Zheng looked around at the ministers and was excited, and the ministers also found out that their king was the first time to show the joy from the heart and his expression, which shows the far-reaching significance of this news to Wei Zheng and the entire country.

At the end, Wei Zheng's loud voice resounded above the hall: "It is worthy of Wu Anjun, who is the mighty world, hahaha...... After fifteen months without a victory, Wu Anjun, who had been in Jiangdong for 16 years, broke the enemy and won as soon as he came out. ”

After speaking, Wei Zheng couldn't help but step down the steps and came to the scout: "Report to Wu Anjun quickly, the widow is ready to surrender!" ”

"No——!"

"Wait!" Wei Zheng suddenly shouted again and stopped the scout: "The widow has another decision on this matter, you go down to receive a reward of 100 gold, so that you can rest." ”

"King Xie——!" The scout said overjoyed.

"Congratulations to my king, defending the country for ——! years" The ministers and officials in the hall shouted in unison again, and the voice came into Wei Zheng's ears from all directions.

decided to fight with Qin and Qi together, and this battle of national fortune was finally a victory for the defense of the country.

As soon as the court meeting dispersed, the news of the great victory of the Wei Guo over the Chu army was widely publicized in the country, and the whole city of Chaoge was cheering.

And at this moment, Wei Zheng had immediately summoned Ju Xin into the inner hall to discuss: "Prime Minister, look, this is the letter submitted by Wu Anjun. With that, he gave the letterhead to Ju Xin, and Wei Zheng immediately got up from the throne and paced back and forth in the hall, and the straight road still had a smile on his face.

After a while, after reading the contents of the letter, Ju Xin couldn't help but look puzzled, and said: "Your Majesty, since the Chu army has surrendered, why did Wu Anjun ask for surrender?" ”

Wei Zheng stopped his steps, returned to the king's chair and sat on the ground, and asked: "According to the letter, what does the prime minister have of this Wu Anjun's meaning?" ”

Ju Xin thought about it for a while, and said uncertainly: "Your Majesty, could it be that Wu Anjun wants my king to let Chu surrender and return to his hometown?" ”

Wu Anjun's letter didn't say that. How to deal with these 200,000 Chu soldiers is a big problem. Now it is a pawn, 200,000 mouths waiting to eat, plus 300,000 of our army, that is, 500,000 people, a month can eat 1.5 million stone grain to defend the country, this war Chu is pouring the strength of the country, the national strength has been overwhelmed, and the widow is also very distressed, for a time there is no way to decide, this is not to summon the prime minister you to discuss. Wei Zheng said.

Ju Xin couldn't help but hesitate when he heard it, so he asked tentatively: "Then ......what does my king mean?" Wei Zheng suddenly said dissatisfiedly: "Zixin, the widow summoned you to ask about you, not to issue an edict to you, is there a courtier like you who shares the worries of the widow?" ”

"My king forgives sins." Ju Xin bowed his hand in embarrassment, and seeing that Wei Zheng didn't say a word, he thought for a while before he spoke again: "According to Wu Anjun's letter, 70,000 soldiers of our guard army were wounded, 40,000 were killed in battle, and 200,000 soldiers were unharmed, and the Chu army also had 200,000 soldiers, which is generally comparable to our army. If only a few soldiers are defeated, they can be incorporated into our army for our use, but this is a full 200,000. The Chu people are patriotic, not afraid of death, their hearts are difficult to collect, if there is a call from the mother country in the future, will it not be a big trouble for me to defend the country? If they are sent back to their hometowns, within three or five years, they will be reinstated as soldiers of the enemy country, and even if they no longer fight for the enemy country, they can marry wives and have children, and multiply the population. If time goes by, there will be endless troubles in the future, when I won one of the Wei Chu battles, but I can't win forever, I can't do it once and for all, then I David can really be regarded as a victorious country? ”

"The widow doesn't know, but this is where the widow hesitates......" Wei Zheng smiled helplessly.

Ju Xin is a member of the Legalist family in the end, and when he saw that the king was in a dilemma, and fell into a silence, he was ruthless in his heart, and said with a fierce face: "Your Majesty, since you let him return to his hometown and merge him into his command, neither can be chosen...... Then you can only ......"

"Kill ......?" Wei Zheng suddenly looked up at Ju Xin.

"There is no other way but this method!" Jusin said bluntly.

"Kill 200,000 soldiers...... Wei Zheng muttered: "If the widow really orders to kill, the name of this tyrant will be confirmed." ”

"Definitely!" Ju Xin hurriedly said: "My king Rongyu, of course, this can't be infamous by my king, this matter originated from Wu Anjun, and naturally it should also be understood by Wu Anjun." ”

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said: "Although Bai Qi has killed countless enemies in his life so far, he has never had a precedent of killing and surrendering soldiers, let alone 200,000 people, if he is unwilling to sell his name, will the widow force Wu Anjun to kill and surrender?" ”

"If my king gives an edict, Wu Anjun will not hesitate to obey the king's order." After saying that, Ju Xin immediately bowed his hand and said: "Please allow my king to allow Weichen to go south to Jianghuai, and Weichen will go to persuade Wu Anjun, as for my king, you don't have to do anything." ”

"Zixin, it's so hard for the widow to wait for your words." Wei Zheng suddenly smiled and said.

"Uh......"

……

To put it bluntly, after the surrender of the 200,000 troops of the Chu army, how to deal with these soldiers has become his biggest headache now, these 200,000 people can't be killed, they can't be released, and they have to be given food, the food of the guards could have been eaten for a month, but with the surrender of the 200,000 army, the number of people has increased to 500,000 at once, and the food for the future can only be eaten by 500,000 people for less than half a month.

When Bai Qi was thinking about how to deal with the 200,000 soldiers, the first soldier entered the account and insisted: The right prime minister Ju Xin is here.

When Ju Xin entered the camp, Bai Qi said quite unexpectedly: "Why did the right prime minister come to the front line?" As he spoke, he was invited to take a seat, and ordered someone to prepare good food and wine.

After Ju Xin took his seat, he bowed his hand and said with a loud smile: "Congratulations to Wu Anjun for breaking the Chu army, building a miraculous feat, and strengthening the prestige of our country, and finally becoming a famous general through the ages." My king was overjoyed to hear the good news from the front. ”

Bai Qi stopped with a smile when he heard this, and said modestly: "The prime minister's words are exaggerated, Bai Qi never dares to be, let alone monopolize his credit, this time to break the Chu army is the bloody battle of the soldiers, it is the prime minister who sits in the rear to dispatch in a way so that my front line has no worries, and it is my king's strategy that can create a fighter plane that is beneficial to our army. ”

"Wu Anjun is too modest." Ju Xin laughed loudly, and after some polite words, Bai Qi asked curiously: "Why did the prime minister suddenly come to the front line?" ”

"Of course, it's for Wu Anjun to solve his doubts." Ju Xin stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Oh? What does this mean? Bai Qi was suddenly curious.
