The battle, at the last moment before the sun set, had basically ended, it began very suddenly, and ended even more suddenly, and it was only at this time that Qiao Rui sadly discovered that the enemy's strength was not very large, at least compared to his 20,000 army, it was not worth mentioning.

"Wenhou ......" looked at Lu Bu in front of him, and the corners of Qiao Rui's mouth were a little bitter: "Why don't you kill me!" ”

It's really shameless, it's also a general under Yuan Shu, an army of 20,000, without a fight, and he was defeated by others in such a daze, and many people died in battle, but more were captured, and the losses caused to the other party were minimal.

Not only is he worthy of Yuan Shu's trust, but he also really used his incompetence to set off the strength of the imperial court's soldiers and horses.

"You're not worthy!" Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Lu Bu indifferently hung Fang Tian's halberd on the horse's back, and from beginning to end, he didn't even bother to look at him.

Maybe for Yuan Shu, Qiao Rui can already be regarded as a general, but in the imperial court, Mo said that top generals such as Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong, with Qiao Rui's ability, can be a partial general in the imperial court, and he can already wake up with a smile, and he is not even qualified to lead an army alone, and is only worthy of being a deputy general, but under Yuan Shu, he can become the main general who commands an army of 20,000.

Although there are 300,000 troops, Mo said that it was Liu Xie, even if he was a group of fierce generals under his command, he didn't take Yuan Shu very seriously.

The gate of Yique Pass was wide open, and Liu Xie had already ordered Cao Xing to bring people to help collect the prisoners.

In this battle, Yuan Shu's army of 20,000 was only more than 3,000 killed, but there were more than 16,000 people who were captured.

"Your Majesty, there are too many of these captives." Back at Yique Pass, Lu Bu came to Liu Xie's side, looking at the endless stream of captured by the Yuan army who were escorted back, Lu Bu frowned, turned his head to look at Liu Xie, and said, "The minister thinks it's ......."

Compared with a killing gesture, although it is ominous to say that killing prisoners, when necessary, for the sake of internal stability, killing prisoners is a very effective method.

After all, Liu Xie's expedition this time, the actual number of men and horses was only 30,000, and now there are more than 16,000 prisoners alone, more than half of them, so many people, not to mention the consumption of grain and grass, just if there is a riot, it will take a lot of effort, but it is better to do it once and for all.

Liu Xie shook his head, Lu Bu's idea is simple, trouble-free, but it is by no means the best, not to mention anything else, if the matter of killing prisoners spreads, although it will not hit the prestige of the imperial court, it will inevitably leave the impression of a tyrant, and the identity of the emperor is sometimes destined to be as one-sided as Lu Bu considers.

"Uncle Yue, I am the emperor, it is easy to kill these people, but what about after that?" There was no one left and right, and Liu Xie's address to Lu Bu was also casual, and he shook his head and said: "This is different from the alien race, you can kill as much as you want, even if the soldiers under Yuan Shu are also my people, kill them, how can the old and young in the family survive?" On the battlefield, you live and die, life and death depend on heaven, but now that the battle is over, I don't want to kill more! ”

"It's just that there are too many captives, and if you don't deal with them, you may be in trouble for a long time." Lu Bu sighed.

"I'll figure it out!" Liu Xie nodded, Lu Bu's worries also had his reasons, these captives were kept, it was a disaster, and killing them would deal a big blow to Liu Xie's prestige, and it would also violate Liu Xie's concept.

"Whoa!" When Lu Bu heard this, he didn't say anything more.

Liu Xie took Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others to the prisoner camp, looking at the Yuan Shaojun prisoners who were gathered together in three or five groups, although they were tied by ropes, but so many people gathered together and helped each other, it was easy to untie the ropes, as for the shackles, how could the army bring too many of that kind of things.

"Where is the master of the thief army?" Looking at the black captive, Liu Xie asked.

"Bring it on." Cao Xuan waved his hand, and Qiao Rui was escorted up by several soldiers.

"Sin will be bridged, see Your Majesty." In front of Liu Xie, Qiao Rui was not very presumptuous, he was not as bold as Yuan Shu, and in the face of Liu Xie, the orthodox, he instinctively had a sense of oppression.

"Your name is Qiao Rui?" Liu Xie nodded, looked at Qiao Rui and said, "Let me ask you, are you a Han general or a Yuan general?" ”

"Sin will ...... For Han General! Qiao Rui cautiously glanced at Lu Bu beside Liu Xie, didn't dare to make a mistake, and bowed down.

"If you are a Han general, why do you help the abuse?" Liu Xiejian frowned, and a coercion arose, which suffocated Qiao Rui's chest.

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, the sin general has advised Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu refuses to listen to the words of the sin general, and even coerces the family with the sin, and the sin will also ...... It's also involuntarily! "The bridge is a little bumpy.

"What a body that can't help itself." Liu Xie nodded and looked at Yuan Jun around him: "It was a capital crime for you to lead the army to attack the imperial court's soldiers and horses, but God has the virtue of a good life, and I will give you a chance to live now." ”

Hearing this, a flash of joy flashed on Qiao Rui's face, and he hurriedly said, "Please give instructions from Your Majesty." ”

"Pick out the generals in this army, from the generals, to the military marquis and the tun chief." Liu Xie said indifferently.

"Whoa!" Although there are some doubts, Liu Xieken gave himself this opportunity, and Qiao Rui can't care so much, in this world, after all, there are still many people who are afraid of death.

At the moment, under Cao Xing's surveillance, Qiao Rui began to pick people, Liu Xie gave Han De a look on the side, Han De immediately led people forward and selected the people selected by Qiao Rui one by one, and soon, a total of eighty-nine generals were picked out by Qiao Rui.

"These people, keep them alone, don't let them have a chance to contact these captives, and ...... when necessary" Liu Xie looked at Cao Xing, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Whoa!" Cao Xuan understood, and immediately asked these generals of the Yuan army to be kept in custody alone.

Liu Xie asked these soldiers to gather together, and personally came to the captives of more than 16,000 people, looking at the black and oppressive heads, Liu Xie was angry, exhaled, and said loudly: "I am the Son of Heaven!" ”

A group of Yuan soldiers looked up blankly, looking at Liu Xie in confusion, but no one dared to make a sound, although when they went out on the expedition, they knew that it was the emperor who was going to fight, but it was one thing to know at the time, and now when they face Liu Xie and face it as a prisoner, it is another matter.

Especially as a large number of generals in the army were taken away, the remaining soldiers were left without leaders, and the feelings of confusion, anxiety, and confusion continued to accumulate in their hearts.

"It is a capital crime to wait for you to help and abuse and attack the court without authorization!" Liu Xie's indifferent gaze swept towards the three armies, and in his cold voice, there was endless killing intent, coupled with the 30,000 elites of the imperial court around him, which suddenly made these Yuan Shaojun soldiers turn pale and look at Liu Xie uneasily.

"Your Majesty spares your life!"

"I'm also forced to be helpless!"

Under the threat of death, many people began to kowtow to Liu Xie and beg for forgiveness.

"Of course, God has the virtue of a good life, although your sins are unforgivable, but I don't want to kill in vain, so I want to give you a chance to mend your ways!" Liu Xie looked at Yuan Shujun, who was constantly kowtowing and begging for mercy, and said loudly.

All the captives couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this, as long as they had a chance to live.

"From now on, the military marquis in the army, you choose by yourself, I will give you one night's time, tomorrow morning, I will see the new military marquis, and I will select new generals from among these people." Liu Xielang said: "These new military marquis will be appointed by the imperial court, not only are they not guilty, but if they have military merits in the future, they can be promoted according to the imperial court's military merit system." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Among the captives, there were faint cheers.

Yuan Shu attaches great importance to the background of the gatekeeper, under his command, even Chen Lan, Lei Bo and other people who used to be thieves, they are all from wealthy families, ordinary soldiers, and there is no way to get ahead, and now Liu Xie let them choose the military marquis by themselves, although the position is not high, but it can be regarded as a general, for ordinary soldiers, although the probability is not large, but at least it is an opportunity.

"Back to camp!" Liu Xie didn't say anything more, and took everyone back to the Yique Pass camp.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, fill another army." Back in the handsome tent, Jia Xu looked at Liu Xie with a smile and congratulated.

"Wen He is saying that this army will become His Majesty's army?" Lu Bu frowned and looked at Jia Xu, puzzled.

"Go to its head first, the original Yuan Shujun generals have their own cronies in the army, once these people want to make trouble, there is no other way than to use troops to suppress them, and now His Majesty will pull these people away, without these people to take the lead, their cronies will be scattered." Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu with a smile and explained: "At this moment, Your Majesty will speak again, and lure him with the position of a military marquis. ”

Looking at Lu Bu's disapproving look, Jia Xu smiled and said: "Wen Hou Mo should underestimate the position of this military marquis, an army, the biggest is naturally the main general of the first army, but if the main general dies, it is these military marquis who hold the real power in this army." ”

Although there are still captains, partial generals, and generals above the military marquis, these people are here to command the military marquis, and whether their military orders can be implemented depends on the military marquis, which is also the reason why Liu Xie has taken off the generals from the military marquis.

"At this time, Your Majesty let the army choose its own military marquis, that Yuan Shu is biased to look at people by birth, the most important courage in the army, the military marquis selected this time, must be the prestige in the army, the hearts of the people but the people from low background, these people may not have much belonging to Yuan Shu, but His Majesty gave them a chance, and they will naturally have their hearts to Your Majesty, these people must, these more than 10,000 Yuan Jun, how can they not give a gift to Your Majesty?" Jia Xu explained to everyone with a smile.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Only then did everyone know the true intention of Liu Xie's move.

Zhao Yun smiled on the side: "But if this plan is for our army, it will not have much effect. ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, Liu Xiejun, speaking with merit and ability, wanted to use this method to deal with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, but it was wrong.

"Alright." Liu Xie waved his hand and said: "This battle has been decided, but next, Yuan Shu's other four-way soldiers and horses are not easy, and they may not have such a good opportunity to give our army, send more scouts, and closely monitor the movements of the enemy army." ”

"Whoa!"
