After the battle, the rebel camp outside the city was in disarray, and the chariots and armor were piled up. The soldiers of the Xiang army were enduring fatigue and escorting the captives with excitement on their faces. In the battle just now, Sima Shu's side defeated nearly 200,000 troops, except for Wang Jun who left with 50,000 main forces, only Hejian Wang ran more than 10,000 remnants of the defeated general.

The rest were all wiped out or captured by Sima Shu, and more than 100,000 rebels were wiped out in this battle, and no less than 80,000 were taken prisoner. At this time, many soldiers were cleaning the armour, carts, sticks, grain and grass tents that were still usable. The destroyed materials and debris were gathered in one place and burned to the ground.

After the war, Sima Shu and Li Teh inspected the battlefield together, and Li Teh suddenly pointed to the corpses lying all over the place, and said to the prince: "Your Highness, there is a law for the ministers, which can make the family, the vassal king and other traitors lose the hearts of the people and exhaust their assets!" ”

Sima Shu carefully bypassed the potholed ground, climbed up a slope that could be overlooked, looked at the busy soldiers, and the endless ruins, and said, "What is General Li's plan?" ”

Li Teh smiled coldly, lightly kicked away a dead corpse beside him, and said: "Your Highness, we might as well notify Sima Yan and the others who have returned to the river, and promise them to transport the soldiers who died in battle back to their hometown for burial, and make notices and post them everywhere!" ”

"Oh, what does that mean?"

Li Teh smirked, "In this way, the King of Hejian and the family will definitely be in a dilemma. They had just lost the battle and were at a time when their hearts and souls were broken, and we were thankful that we had not followed them, how dare they come back and bring back the dead, and besides, it would be very expensive to bring back a large number of corpses, and the family and others would never have promised them their subordinates and tenants. ”

Sima Shu was puzzled and said, "Since you know that the family and the vassal king will not be fooled, why do you have to come up with this plan?" ”

Li Tehaha laughed and said: "Your Highness doesn't know anything, although the family and the vassal king will not be fooled, but in this way, the people of the world will know that the family and the vassal king abandoned the dead in battle, and they must be dissatisfied, and the people's hearts will fluctuate." The family of traitors will naturally lose their prestige, and no one will want to give them their lives anymore. If this is the case, the destruction of the rebels is not far off! ”

Sima Shu frowned and was silent for a long time, thinking about it again and again, before he said slowly: "General Li's plan is very clever. But if the family and the vassal king delay and don't answer, and abandon tens of thousands of dead bodies in the Tiger Prison, I am afraid that it will be rotten in the future, and how can the people in the Tiger Prison bear it at that time! ”

After all, Sima Shu came from later generations, and sometimes the code of conduct of later generations unconsciously affected his every move. If it was a lord like Cao Ying or Liu Bang, after hearing this plan, I am afraid that he would have been eager to agree.

It's just that Sima Shu felt pity for these dead people, hesitated for a moment and said: "These dead are innocent people, and many of them are just subordinates and tenants of the family, and their status is low. If we calculate the dead and the court, I am afraid that the people of the world will also think that we are a little unkind. In my opinion, it's better to concentrate on landfilling! ”

Li Teh thought about it carefully and found that his thinking was indeed a little inconsiderate, but he still didn't want to give up this opportunity to attack the prestige of the family, and secretly thought about how to perfect this strategy.

"Your Highness's kindness is the blessing of all the people, it is better to do this, while we are passing on the news to the surroundings through the Lingbao Sect, we are slowly cleaning up these corpses. Anyway, so many corpses can't be cleaned up in a while, so let's set a deadline for the families, just like that, while cleaning up the corpses, we will wait for the family's reaction. ”

"Hmm...... This...... Well, I'll give the family three days! Sima Shu thought again and again that he couldn't give Li Teh no face at all, and what he said was also very reasonable, after all, so many corpses could not be cleaned up in a few days.

At this moment, Zu Yue came to Sima Shu with the support of the guards, and at this time he had become incoherent, "Your Highness...... Your Highness, I ...... We're ...... It's true...... Won? ”

"Yes, we really won! Shi Shao, it doesn't matter what your injuries are, right? Sima Shu looked at the pale Zu Yue and asked with some concern.

"Really...... I can't believe it's true! Your Highness rest assured, you will be fine after resting for a while. Zu Yue replied nonchalantly.

"Your Highness, have you caught the King of the River?"

"No, the old thief ran too fast, not only him, but even the Xianbei people ran away after seeing that the situation was wrong, but the king of the East China Sea was more unlucky, and he was stabbed in front of his eyes by Lonely!" Sima Shu felt a little sorry for not confronting the Xianbei people head-on, but it was the withdrawal of the Xianbei people that accelerated the speed of the rebels' collapse.

"Your Highness, are we going to deal with King Qi next?"

"No, Gu is more worried about the situation north of the Yellow River than the threat from the south. Lone let the Xianbei people go this time, but he would never let the Huns run away again. The Huns are too much of a threat to us, they occupy the land that originally belonged to us, but they have always had bad intentions, which is a typical white-eyed wolf. ”

"The Northern Xiongnu were forced to move westward under the blow of the Han Dynasty and eventually disappeared into the long river of history, but what about the Southern Xiongnu? While enjoying the benefits of the Central Plains Dynasty, these white-eyed wolves are plotting against our great rivers and mountains. For such wolf cubs, you have to beat them down completely with a knife! Forever prostrate at the feet of our Han people! ”

Li Teh and the others didn't quite understand why the prince was full of hatred for the Huns, and of course they wouldn't know that Sima Shu's hatred came from the hundreds of thousands of innocent Han people in Luoyang City in later generations.

"It just so happens that everyone is here, so let's talk about our future actions. Now that the king of the East China Sea is dead, the rebels under his command have been completely wiped out, and the two states of Qingxu are empty. Xuan Xiu, Lone plans to transfer 10,000 forbidden troops from Luoyang to your command, and then you will take Qingxu Erzhou for Lone. ”

"In addition, inform the cabinet and ask them to quickly mobilize a number of officials to come to Yanzhou. Shi Shao is in poor health and should not travel far, then stay in Yanzhou to command part of the Xiang army to sweep away the local family dock forts, all the strong families who hide in the dock fort and resist stubbornly, you collapse and be polite to them, break the dock fort and behead it on the spot! ”

Dock Fort, also known as Dock Wall, is a kind of civil defense surname building, about the formation of Wang Mang Tianfeng period, when the north was hungry and the society was in turmoil. In order to protect themselves, the families of the rich built the walls of the dock forts.

After the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty had ordered the destruction of the dock fort, but the ban could not be stopped, because the people in the northwest often suffered from the Qiang troubles, and the people automatically organized self-defense forces. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Wubao was stationed with a large number of troops and family soldiers, and became a haven for old officials and guests.

Sima Shu finally freed up his hand to make a move against the Central Plains family, and with the power of this great victory, I am afraid that no family would dare to resist. As Sima Shu expected, when the news of the annihilation of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the King of Hejian and the King of the East China Sea came out, it caused a shock in the world.

The prestige of the crown prince Sima Shu spread all over the world, and no one dared to underestimate him, and at the same time, it also made the families and clans involved in the rebellion tremble. They thought that if the prince dared to kill the two dragon sons and grandsons of the East China Sea King and the King of Fan Yang, he would definitely not care about their lives.

"In addition, Gu is ready to let some of the prince's troops go to the front line of Yecheng to prepare to support Zu Ti and their campaign to encircle and annihilate the king of Chengdu, and here it will be left to the government soldiers to be responsible, and Zu Yue will be fully responsible! As for the remnants of the rebels who swept away Qingxu Yanyu, they were handed over to the three generals Fu Hong, Yao Gezhong, and Li Xiong, and they acted with Xuan Xiu! You all have to do what Master Litt does! ”

After Sima Shu finished explaining, he began to greet the soldiers again, and ordered everyone to transport all the craftsmen and equipment left behind by the rebels back to the city, and this time the artisan battalion in the rebel army left a deep impression on him.

After the news of the prince's victory over the rebels reached Luoyang, the whole city was jubilant. The haze in everyone's hearts was swept away, and the people who were originally panicked breathed a sigh of relief. Even Zhang Hua felt much lighter after hearing the good news.

"The crown prince has finally won! Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Zhang Hua handed the documents in his hand to Zhang Bin and asked him to deal with them, because of his serious illness recently, he has handed over most of the government affairs to Zhang Bin to deal with. He was very satisfied with this deputy, who was not only resourceful, but also good at both military and political aspects.

"It doesn't matter to Gong Zhang, right? Why don't you go back and rest, just leave it to the next and the world (Du Xizi). ”

Zhang Bin looked at Zhang Hua, who kept coughing lightly, and persuaded that Zhang Hua was the goal of Zhang Bin's efforts in the future, and Zhang Hua usually took good care of him, so he always treated him like a teacher. Some time ago, the rebel army was pressing, and the court was ready to move inside and outside, but fortunately, there were respected ministers like Zhang Hua in the court, otherwise I really don't know what kind of chaos will happen.

"No, alas! When this man is old, his body and bones will not be formed. Since the first day of acquaintance with the crown prince, it has been more than thirteen years. Over the years, the old man has watched the prince become better day by day, and he always feels that he has lived up to the entrustment of the first emperor, and the old man can be regarded as having an explanation for the first emperor. ”

Zhang Bin didn't speak, made a cup of tea for Zhang Hua with boiling water, handed it to the other party, and then said: "The prince often said to the people around him that if he hadn't been taken care of by the Taifu back then, he would not have been able to achieve what he has today. And if Empress Jia hadn't been in power if there hadn't been a Taifu here, I'm afraid it would have been a mess a long time ago! ”

Zhang Hua took the tea, took a sip, smacked his tongue carefully, tasted the aftertaste, shook his head and said: "The prince is too famous, the prince is a talent, and he is extremely smart when he is young." Even if he didn't have an old man, he wouldn't have any problems. And after so many ups and downs, the prince has finally matured. With his Wen Taowu strategy, he is no less than Emperor Xuan back then! ”

"Life is like tea, life without wind and rain is light and tasteless, only after experiencing the wind and rain soaking, life and wisdom will exude the fragrance of the veins."

When the court was jubilant, the families were like mourners. Especially the families in the Central Plains are like lost dogs. In the end, when the fear accumulated to a certain extent, the Central Plains family suddenly set off a wave of southward crossing! Sima Shu was dumbfounded when he knew the inside story, he didn't expect that the famous clothes in Chinese history were actually triggered by him.
