As the sun set, the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army, which had been chasing from noon to afternoon, finally stopped.

"Generals, Lord Duwei, the lord has an order, there is no need to chase it for the time being!" A herald rushed to Li Chenfeng, who was chasing after him, and said.

"Don't chase it? It's okay, after chasing dozens of miles, the soldiers are also tired. There are less than 5,000 people left around the patriarch of this Su Mo Ya tribe, and running away will not have any effect on us. Come to think of it, I think I have another idea. ”

"Order, the whole army stopped the pursuit, packed up the booty, escorted the prisoners, and withdrew to the city of Andong." Li Chenfeng said in a deep voice.

"Report to the lord, in the camp north of the city, there are still 5,000 left-behind soldiers, and in the camp in the east of the city, there are 10,000 soldiers and soldiers, and they are now trapped in the camp." Wei Dong returned to the front line

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "Very good, don't attack, just give them a few earth-shattering thunders to deter them and trap them." ”

At this moment, Situ Liang also rushed over and said, "Lord, the battle record outside the city has been counted, the 130,000 Jin Yan army escaped more than 20,000 people, but most of them were scattered, and only more than 4,000 people were released by General Li Chenfeng. There are 5,000 camps in the north of the city and 10,000 in the east of the city, all of which are surrounded by our army. Of the remaining 90,000 soldiers, 50,000 surrendered and more than 40,000 were killed. Among the 50,000 soldiers, there were 20,000 slave soldiers of other tribes and 10,000 Han slave soldiers. ”

"There are a lot of captives!"

Situ Liang said repeatedly: "Lord, there are also nearly 10,000 captives here who have been injured by the earth-shattering thunder, and I think it is better to use it as a touchstone for the baggage camp and the rest of the captives." I can prevent them from continuing to suffer, and I can also make these prisoners of the Devil of the Devil of God's use to my advantage. ”

"Hmm...... Well, among the prisoners of the Tatar army captured this time, all the Tatars and wounded soldiers were selected. Let the soldiers of the baggage battalion and the prisoners of the Devil who served in our army make a decision to either join our Xiaoguo army or ...... Death! Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.

"Lord, Liang thinks that now we can implement the barbarian Eight Banners system, if it is not my race, its heart will be different! Even if they surrender to our Xiaoguo army, their hearts will not really fall to us. If you want to assimilate them, you have to start with children. The lord's barbarians had to know Chinese characters, dress in Han clothes, perform Han rituals, and Han Yi intermarriage strategies from children in order to fully accommodate them. Some of these uncivilized adults must be removed. ”

"We take the Eight Banners of the Yan Ya as the vanguard, attack the territory of the Ya Ya tribes, the land is mine, and the spoils of war are divided. With the earth-shattering thunder, it is enough to deter this Eight Banners, so that they dare not repeat, not to mention, they can't repeat it. ”

"The Eight Banners of the Impedient can be unfurled, but the land to the north is all the Imperished Tribes, and my Han people are in decline, how can I rule properly?"

"My lord, the Eight Banners of the Yan Dynasty sent troops, and those who resisted were naturally defeated, and their cities and their men were killed alive with horizontal knives, or reduced to slaves, and entered the Han land to open mines and rest on the official road! The rest of the women and their money, half of the Xiaoguo army and half of the Yan cavalry, and the children all moved into the interior and were given Han culture. ”

Zhao Xun pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Reward half of the wealth and women?" Will the tail be too big to fall off? ”

Zhao Xun means that this Eight Banners has gained a lot of wealth and manpower, and it has become a greater disaster when it becomes stronger, after all, it is not so simple to move the people, even if you don't take into account the life and death of the barbarians, it is not something that can be done after speaking.

Situ Liang shook his head and said: "My lord, it's okay, wherever the Eight Banners of the Yan Ya go, the officials of my Xiaoguo Army followed closely behind, moving higher than the horizontal sword man, if it really doesn't work, then execute it." Without men, no logistical support, and no base under his control, what can he do? ”

"In addition, these Eight Banners will be stained with the blood of countless Lords, and it is no longer possible to gain the trust of the Lords, but will only be hated. What does it matter if you can't annex the men of your own tribe and expand your army, and reward some women and wealth? This Eight Banners is different from the Khitan Eight Banners in our plan, this Eight Banners has no autonomy, and every one of their qiē is ours, but they are given the spoils of war. We will no longer be offering Fortune and additional bounties. ”

Zhao Xun patted his head and said, "I forgot, this is the Eight Banners of the Indigo Banner, not the Eight Banners of Khitan." Well, let's start with this reorganization, although Liaozhou Mansion does not have a large-scale army, there are still defenders. Five days later, the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the Yan Dynasty marched north to attack the Liaozhou Prefecture, and the Fifth Cavalry Battalion and the First Cavalry Battalion carried the earth-shattering thunder to cooperate. ”

"Compliance ......"

The losers had no right to make conditions, and 50,000 prisoners were taken, and more than 20,000 people were killed, some of them were Sumo Tatars, and some were wounded soldiers of various tribes. Without him, this kind of wounded soldier who is full of small holes, and the Xiaoguo army can't help it. The people who shot were all baggage camps and slave soldiers. At this time, these captives who surrendered have no way to retreat.

Because the number of prisoners of the Tatar army reached 70,000, excluding the 10,000 Han slave soldiers, there were still 60,000. Zhao Xun ordered that 20,000 infirm people be organized as a baggage camp, and the remaining dead prisoners were turned into the Eight Banners of the Indigent. The Eight Banners of the Banner are compiled for the prisoners of the surrendered Banner Army, each flag has a flag owner, two deputy flag owners, five commanders, 5,000 flag soldiers, and the eight banners are 40,000.

At the end of each battle, fifty percent of the loot is handed over to the Xiaoguo army, and fifty percent is kept for himself. Those who have made meritorious contributions to the army will be treated as meritorious people of the Xiaoguo Army (nine times out of ten, they will not be able to enjoy it, and they can only become martyrs), and those who have made meritorious contributions above the command will be awarded the title of knighthood after being discharged from the army.

The Eight Banners of the Indigo do not lead the people, but only unify the army. In addition, the eight banners are numbered from one to eight, which are not unified with each other and are deployed by Zhao Xun. There are also military regulations that prohibit rape/adultery/women, kill women and children, and kill Han Chinese. In the army, there is a military judge who is not under the jurisdiction of the banner owner and the commander.

Qi Yuanyi ran to Liaozhou City with thousands of scattered people in one go, and after the statistics, he almost vomited blood. Qiwendao was killed in battle, seven were marshal, fifteen were general, dozens of thousands of people were killed, and only more than 10,000 people escaped in the end. Not only that, but the faces of the generals around him were panicked, and they completely lost the heroism of the southern expedition.

The beggar knew that the soldiers were shocked by the thunderous weapons of the Xiaoguo Army. Speaking of which, even he was equally shocked. But at this moment, it's too late to speak, and what matters is how to resist the retaliation of the Xiaoguo army, or the counterattack.

"Patriarch, I will build yì, we will withdraw from the Liaozhou Mansion immediately, and if necessary, we can make peace with the Xiaoguo army, after all, they are also attacked by the Liaodong Kingdom on the west side. Come to think of it, they don't want to fight to the death with us, and let Liaodong take advantage. The head of the left household said in a deep voice.

"Just gave up Liaozhou Mansion like this? No, this is our land, how can we let the Xiaoguo army be allowed to? The generals immediately said one after another. In Liaozhou Mansion, they also have forces entrenched here, and they harvest a lot of money every year, how can they lose it to the Xiaoguo army.

Zuo Huchang sneered: "Okay, the Xiaoguo army is here, you lead the troops to resist." Since you don't want to return the land of Yan, then defeat them. ”

Defeat the Devil's Army? It's not easy to say, the tribal army still has to guard against the Liaodong Kingdom and the Western Front, and more importantly, even if there are more than 100,000 soldiers, how can they resist this weapon of the Xiaoguo army?

The generals were dumbfounded, and no one was talking.

"Patriarch, our clan has lost more than 100,000 soldiers, and the south is no longer enough to resist the Xiaoguo army, while the west has to guard against the Liaodong Kingdom. The situation is not good, if Liaodong Kingdom gets the news that the Xiaoguo Army has such an artifact, it will definitely withdraw its troops and make friends with the Xiaoguo Army, at that time, the pressure on our army will be great. Not to mention the loss of our army, even if the morale of the army has plummeted, it will not be able to recover in a moment and a half. If the Xiaoguo army and the Liaodong Kingdom flank again...... That turned out ......," said the head of the left household in a hurry.

"Isn't Liaodong afraid that the Xiaoguo army will destroy us and then strangle them? When it comes to invading Yan Kingdom, they are no worse than us. Beggar said coldly.

Zuo Huchang smiled bitterly: "Having said that, it was the invasion of Liaodong that made the Xiaoguo Army rise, and speaking of which, Zhao Xun, the commander of the Xiaoguo Army, should also thank them." Besides, it is not impossible to surrender to the Xiaoguo army. In the past, it was already a very common thing for the northern tribes to submit to the Chu State and the Yan State. ”

"The invasion of the Liaodong Kingdom into the Yan State was not before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and furthermore, it did not take the land of the Yan State, but lost its troops. But we took advantage of the great war between Yan and Murowei to take the land of Sanfu...... No matter what Yan is up, we are the ......"

Qi Yuanyi's face was distorted, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and said: "Zuo Household Chief, you negotiate with Xiaoguo Army on behalf of our department, Liaozhou Mansion can give it to him, but we must not attack each other." The head of the right household, the generals, immediately ordered the three cities of the nine counties of Liaozhou Mansion to withdraw from Liaozhou Mansion. Remember, sue them, and you must not hurt the Han people at will, otherwise...... I'll ask them to fight against the Devil Army and see if I can find out the weaknesses of the Devil's weapon. ”

"Obey!" The generals commanded in unison. Many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and fought against the Xiaoguo Army, but don't think about it now.

"What do you say? The three Khitan tribes besieged Zhenbeibao, Zangcheng, and Hegaocheng, and asked our Xiaoguo army to provide one million quintals of grain and one million taels of silver? Are you mistaken? Hearing the news that Situ Liang came to report, Zhao Xun thought that he had heard it wrong.

"Back to the lord, this is a message from the Shunzhou Mansion, it can't be wrong. When the Khitan Third Division learned of the civil strife in the south of our Xiaoguo Army, and that the Eastern Army was besieged by the Liaodong Kingdom and the Sumo Jin Tribe, they had other thoughts and wanted to bite us as well. Situ Liang replied.

Zhao Xun sneered: "Okay, good, it's really a tribulation to see the truth, good for you Khitan Sanbu, it seems that the plan of the expected Khitan Eight Banners is to be changed, and it will be shameless." It's really the ancients who said well, if it's not my race, its heart will be different! What's going on now? ”

Situ Liang said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, the soldiers and young men of Shunzhou Prefecture can mobilize to participate in the war at any time. However, Zhang Yuanjing, who stayed in Yanzhou Mansion, boldly called the five capitals of the Yan cavalry to go north to resist the enemy and defend against the enemy and abroad. The two armies fought each other, each suffering casualties. Because this is a flying pigeon biography, there should be no major changes. ”

"Order, let the new Eighth Mansion go north to Shunzhou Mansion and support the north at any time. The sixth government of Yanzhou Prefecture was stationed in place to control the Beihai tribes. The Seventh Mansion went north and eastward, heading towards Liao Tunnel City. The first mansion in the city followed the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the Spirit, and attacked the Liaozhou Mansion in the north tomorrow. The fifth mansion went west and marched towards Liao Tunnel City. I want to see if Liaodong has eaten the gall of a leopard, first retreated, and then attacked. ”

"Let all the remaining earth-shattering thunders in the city be brought, and I will personally go to Liao Tunnel City and let them know that not everyone in my Xiaoguo Army can be treacherous." Zhao Xun said coldly.

"How many county soldiers have been recruited in Andong City?"

"Hui Zhugong, there are 5,000, half of them are Han people in the city, and half of them are Minzhuang who came with our army, these people are homeless people and will be registered here."

"Very good, let the officials from Youzhou immediately restore the rule of Andong Mansion. When necessary, the Devil Army will cooperate, and anyone who does not obey the Devil's Army, whoever it may be, must be eliminated. ”

"By the way, send the news of our defeat to Youzhou, so that they don't worry." After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Xun explained again.

Situ Liang said: "My lord, Youzhou is lively now, the Xuzhou army has sent an envoy from the alliance, and the imperial court has also sent a messenger to deliver the decree, all waiting for the lord to give a letter." ”

Zhao Xun smiled coldly: "Waiting for my news?" I'm afraid I'm waiting for the news that I can escape from the attack of the Su Mo Yan and the Liaodong Kingdom. Don't pay attention to them, the Xuzhou army is under great pressure, and where the alliance is sent, it is clear that it will push us to the forefront. And the imperial court is afraid that we and the Xuzhou army will be mixed together, and the previous actions are clearly aimed at us. ”
