Chapter 173: Setting Up the Ring

After the Great Khan of Beijung, Modahan, was captured alive, this great war has come to an end.

Because the commander was captured alive, the remaining 130,000 Beirong troops had no heart to fight to the death, coupled with Huang Taiji's persuasion to surrender, everyone laid down their weapons and surrendered to the Yan army.

And in this battle, Dayan lost nearly 30,000 elite cavalry and annihilated 30,000 soldiers of Beirong, and the two sides were tied, but a careful analysis of the time and place of the two sides is favorable, and it can be seen that the combat power of the Beirong army is comparable to the Dayan cavalry in the case of the absolute disadvantage of cutting off food and horses, which is enough to show that the Beirong people are good at fighting, and at the same time exposes the problem of Ji Qingchen's Northern Liao army, that is, the combat effectiveness of the army is concentrated in a few elite cavalry, and the overall combat effectiveness of the army is still very low. It's not enough to fight against an elite iron rider like the Beijung Elite Rider.

Ji Qingchen was no longer satisfied with such a battle result, and there was no way, because he knew that it would take time to train a new army, and most of the Long Xiang Cavalry and Black Eagle Cavalry in the Northern Liao Army were new pawns, and he still needed time to train this new pawn to be like an elite cavalry like the Beirong Elite Cavalry.

"Has Your Highness ever thought about what to do with this group of captives?" Just as Ji Qingchen was pondering, Gu Qi in the study suddenly asked.

Gu Qi here is Mr. Gu in the big tent of the Great Khan of Beirong King Modahan, which was found in the king tent of Modahan after the army broke through the Beirong camp, and the person who rushed into the king's tent at that time was Wang Yin, he saw that Gu Qi was a Yan person, and heard Gu Qi introduce his identity to him, saying that he had information to see Ji Qingchen, Wang Yin had already heard of Gu Qi's name, and because of his close relationship with Ji Qingchen, he knew that Ji Qingchen had known Gu Qi in Ningzhou earlier, so he brought Gu Qi to Ji Qingchen, which determined Gu Qi's identity.

And Gu Qi for what will appear in the royal tent of the Great Khan of Beirong, and what will be the position of Mo Dahan, this will start from Gu Qi and Ji Qingchen after they were separated in Ningzhou.

When Gu Qi and Ji Qingchen were separated in Ningzhou, he wanted to return to Junlin to assist him after Ji Qingchen's school competition, but when he traveled to Liaozhou and was about to go back to the south to return to Jun, he suddenly heard a piece of news, saying that Beirong had heavy snowfall, heavy snow blocked the mountains, cattle and sheep froze to death, and Beirong was preparing to invade Dayan.

Gu Qi has always wanted to give Ji Qingchen a big gift because of Ji Qingchen's kindness, but he didn't change his way, so he traveled to Liaozhou, the purpose was to find out the situation of the military and politics in Liaozhou, and prepare for Ji Qingchen's administration of Liaozhou, but when he heard the news that the Beirong army was going south, he suddenly trembled in his heart, and seemed to have a gift to give Ji Qingchen, so he put himself in danger and went deep into Beirong, met Mo Dahan with his identity and talent, and offered advice to Mo Dahan, so that the Beirong army successfully broke through the Yanmen Pass, This is why there was this battle between Beirong and Dayan, and because of his strategy, Beirong broke through Yanmen Pass in a battle, and successfully won the trust of Mo Dahan, which made Mo Dahan obey his words, so that he had the opportunity to step by step Mo Dahan's 300,000 Beirong army into Ji Qingchen's trap.

And this time, Mo Dahan's three-way strategy of dividing the troops was also from Gu Qi's hand, it was he who suggested that Mo Dahan disperse his forces into the hands of Meng Buge and Hauge, and divided the Beirong army into three parts, so that they could fight separately, so that Ji Qingchen would have a chance to take advantage of it and annihilate the more than 200,000 elite cavalry of the main army Mo Dahan in one fell swoop.

When Ji Qingchen listened to Gu Qi's narration, he was taken aback by Gu Qi's boldness. Because he knew that the war between Beirong and Dayan was caused by Gu Qi's strategy, this made Ji Qingchen really understand how much energy Chu Guqi had, and only then did he know what Gu Qi was called Southern Crazy Gu Kaizhi.

"What does Mr. Gu mean?" Ji Qingchen asked Gu Qi, he knew that Gu Qi had been following Mo Dahan in Beirong for several months, and he must know how to deal with these captives, but he still said what he thought in his heart, "What this king means is that if you let them go, it will be a threat from Dayan in the future, but if you raise them, we don't have so much food, so we can only kill them!" ”

"His Highness's decision agreed to by Kai Zhi is just-" Gu Qi said carefully, "The Beirong soldiers can fight well, and the two cavalry teams of Long Xiang and Black Eagle that His Highness has just formed are not strong enough, if they are against the Iron Cavalry of Shangli Country, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with the other party." Therefore, Kaizhi means that His Highness can subdue a part of the Beirong soldiers and let them be used by His Highness. ”

"What does Mr. Gu mean to let this king use the Beirong cavalry against the Tieqi cavalry?" Ji Qingchen immediately understood the meaning of Gu Qi's words.

"Yes." Gu Qi nodded and said, "If you want to say that there is any cavalry in the world that can fight against the iron cavalry of the country, there is only Beirong Jingcai, and now His Highness has 130,000 Beirong soldiers in his hands, as long as they get on the horse, they are all strong feet, this is a huge wealth, Your Highness is not a pity for them!" ”

"Well-" Ji Qingchen said after thinking for a moment, "Mr. Gu is right, this is indeed a good way to deal with the surrendered prisoners, but this king doesn't need so many Beirong prisoners to form a cavalry, right?" ”

"Your Highness only needs to select the best of them, and let Huang Taiji command 30,000 is enough." Gu Qi thought for a while, and then said, "The remaining 100,000 people, Your Highness can set up a ring and let these people participate in the competition, the winner of the competition must be the best of the Beirong soldiers, for these people, His Highness can train them all over the world into a dead cavalry, the number is about three thousand, as for the rest of the people, those who can be killed still have to be killed." ”

"En-" Ji Qingchen nodded slightly, and did not answer Gu Qi immediately, but fell into deep thought. After a long time, he retracted his thoughts and said to Gu Qi, "This king agrees with Mr. Gu's opinion, but he still needs to ask for everyone's opinion." ”

"Your Highness's sample table is as it should be." Gu Qi said with a smile, agreeing with Ji Qingchen's approach, because after Ji Qingchen's introduction, he already knew that Ji Qingchen had cultivated a group of henchmen and generals, and now he wanted to solve the 130,000 Beirong prisoners, and Ji Qingchen could discuss such a major issue with them, which would make them feel that Ji Qingchen attached great importance to them, and this was also something that Gu Qi was very happy to see.

"Spread that Bai Xiangcheng and the generals will go to the study to discuss matters!" Ji Qingchen saw that Gu Qi had no opinion on his proposal, so he said to the guards outside the door. The guards were ordered to leave. In the middle of the sound, Bai Xiangcheng, Xu Dachun, Bai Yang, Yu Wenshu, Li Changzheng and Wang Yin and other Ji Qingchen's henchmen came to the study.

Gu Qi and everyone have already met, and now there is no earlier estrangement between the two sides.

Seeing that the generals had finished saluting him and Gu Qi, Ji Qingchen, who was sitting in front of the bookcase, told everyone about the method of dealing with the 130,000 Beirong prisoners that Gu Qi had just said.

"What do you think?" After the narration, Ji Qingchen asked everyone.

"This is going to kill nearly 100,000 prisoners at one time, I'm afraid that someone in the court will take this opportunity to ignore His Highness, right?" Poplar was the first to say.

Because Dayan has never been in such a large-scale killing of prisoners, and the current Metropolitan Procuratorate is controlled in the hands of the Eighth Prince, and the Eighth Emperor Ji Qian is at odds with Ji Qingchen, Bai Yang will kill so many prisoners, and how much pressure will public opinion put on Ji Qingchen.

"There are Zhenghuang and Zhengbai flags in the north, and there are 100,000 Han troops attached to Meng Buge and Hakesu Zhenghuang Banner and Zhengbai Banner, Shangzhou has 60,000 elite cavalry of Haoge, if General Fang and General Xiang are fast, they can capture Yanmen Pass in one fell swoop in these few days, we can close the door and fight dogs, and trap Meng Buge and Haoge in the territory of Dayan. As long as Meng Buge and Haoge are trapped in the territory of Dayan, it is only a matter of time before they use troops to encircle and suppress them one by one and force them down. In this way, I am afraid that we may still have nearly 100,000 or so prisoners to deal with, and if we do not properly handle these 100,000 prisoners in our hands now, and then add the prisoners in the hands of Meng Buge and Hauge, I am afraid that we will face great pressure. Xu Dachun analyzed.

Because after a battle with the Great Khan of Beirong Mo Dahan, the army of more than 200,000 troops of Dayan faced Mo Dahan's more than 200,000 elite cavalry, and completely annihilated these more than 200,000 Beirong elite cavalry in several battles, which made the morale of the current Northern Liao army great, and the generals in the army also became very confident.

"Kill!" Yu Wenshu said, "If we let go of these more than 100,000 people, it will be equivalent to feeding the tiger again, and we may continue to fight with Beirong in the future, why not take the opportunity to completely destroy this nomadic people this time?" ”

"The matter of selecting the dead and forming the Rongdi cavalry can be done now, just let Zuo Zongquan and Huang Taiji be responsible, as for the killing of prisoners, we have to wait until the elite cavalry in the hands of Meng Buge and Haoge can be implemented, otherwise the premature killing of prisoners will force the more than 100,000 elite cavalry in the hands of Meng Buge and Haoge into the train of thought, and when the time comes, they will fight to the death with us, and we will lose a little bit." Bai Xiangcheng said in a resolute tone, "As for killing the prisoners, Your Highness will hand it over to Xiang Cheng!" ”

After Bai Xiangcheng said this, everyone reacted Ji Qingchen didn't pay attention to it, but he was already moved. If he really subdues the elite cavalry in the hands of Meng Buge and Hauge, the number of prisoners in his hands will reach 200,000, and when the time comes, if he really wants to kill the prisoners, he will kill 200,000 prisoners in one fell swoop, what a stigma this will bear! And at the critical moment, Bai Xiangcheng was willing to bear the notoriety of this devil or executioner for him, how could this make Ji Qingchen unmoved?

After Bai Xiangcheng's words were finished, the study suddenly fell into silence, everyone admired Bai Xiangcheng's courage, and was also impressed by his loyalty to Ji Qingchen, even the arrogant Gu Qi's eyes changed when he looked at Bai Xiangcheng at this moment.

After a long time, Ji Qingchen, who was silent, spoke, "That's it!" But the killing of the captives will be discussed at that time. ”

"No!" The generals received orders, and when they saw that Ji Qingchen had no more orders, they left the big tent. As soon as everyone left, Ji Qingchen summoned Huang Taiji and Zuo Zongquan to the study, and asked Huang Taiji to select 30,000 people out of the 130,000 soldiers to form a Rong Di Jing cavalry, and let Zuo Zongquan be responsible for the ring competition to form the Beirong Dead Cavalry.

After listening to the order, the two agreed without hesitation and left the study.

At this point, after more than three months of hard fighting, Ji Qingchen, who was the king of Northern Liao and the governor of Northern Liao, finally annihilated the main force of Beirong, the largest force that invaded Great Yan, under the city of Caozhou, which was theoretically the realization of the military order that was set for Emperor Yan at the beginning.
