Seeing Hongqing's murderous aura flashing, Yuan Cheng's heart moved, and when he gave the order, and the people who spoke in the martial arts hall retreated, he said, "Lord! ”

"Oh, what does Mr. Yuan have to say, just say it."

"Lord, I don't know what to do with the captives?" Yuan Cheng said.

Fang Xin glanced at him and knew that he had something to say, so he said, "What do you think?" Don't be restricted, just say it. ”

"Yes, Lord, it has been unlucky to kill prisoners since ancient times, and if you kill too much, you will still be able to dry the heavens and peace, which will damage your merits." Speaking of this, he paused, saw that Fang Xin's face sank like water, and said noncommittally, and said: "However, the lower officials also know that the barbarians have killed millions of Han people for more than ten years, and the soldiers and civilians have suffered from them, and they have to report it. ”

"Well, that's the problem, what can you do?" Fang Xinluo was a little interested and asked.

"Lord, in fact, even if they are of different races, there are big differences between them, some are the soldiers and generals of the big clan where the barbarian king belongs, some are dependent tribes, and some are enslaved by the Han people. If you kill them all, not only will you lose your merits, but you will also not be very beneficial. Yuan Cheng knew that in the final analysis, he must also move with interests, so he said: "If you can absorb and control, there will be hundreds of thousands of more soldiers and civilians, which is self-evident to the Lord." ”

Hearing this, Fang was confident in his heart, indeed, this is equivalent to having an extra force out of thin air when fighting for the world!

"The way since ancient times is to destroy the strong and behead, and then use it for me, hundreds of thousands of barbarians, that is also an important force, collect it, you can also take its qi, besides, although after this battle, the barbarians were defeated, but there are still 25,000 soldiers in the city, to be captured. There is also a great price to pay, and at this time, the barbarian king's army is exhausted, as long as it is slightly divided. If the tribe is not pursued, the city can be obtained without a fight. ”

Speaking of which. Fang Xin has already agreed halfway, indeed. The southwest was originally also a dragon qi, but if it was to be completely destroyed, it might be punished by the plane heaven, and if it could annex the southwest dragon qi, it would officially become a Jiao. Don't rely on the dragon qi of the imperial court anymore - it's the same in reality, if you can control hundreds of thousands of barbarians. Not only can large-scale ranches be built, but many manpower can also be obtained out of thin air, and it immediately has the potential to wield the world.

After thinking about it, Fang Xin said: "That's the case, what the heart of the army and the people!" ”

"The lord is worried, and the lower officials can calm it down if they have a brutal strategy."

"Oh, Ho Ce, come on."

"For the high-level of the barbarian division, the prisoner Taimiao has been sacrificed, and the second generation of the first emperor has been rewarded with the grace of promotion. Thousands of miles to send prisoners. So who does not know the power of the Lord's army? Rumors have spread all over the world, and this is the duty of the Lord. ”

Listened to this sentence. Fang Xin's eyes lit up suddenly, this was a political countermeasure, and he immediately said: "Great goodness, what else?" ”

"The hearts of the army and the people must not be accepted, and the hearts of the barbarians must not be clear, therefore, all those who are above the Ten Hui must be tried, and those who have blood enemies between the army and the people can be sued, and those who kill the blood enemies of the Han nationality will be killed in public, so as to calm the hearts of the army and the people, but also make the barbarians lose their backbone and cannot be united."

This is a bit of a public trial, the backbone of the barbarians is wiped out, and the brutal cleansing is carried out, and it is also justifiable, it has won the praise of the people of the world, and it can be supported by the military and the people, killing three birds with one stone! Fang Xinzhong immediately remembered a few thoughts, immediately smiled, and said: "This policy is also a great good, what about it?" ”

"The people show leniency, if it is a barbarian tribe, at this time the elite and strong are lost, it will be punished with imprisonment, punished for all the land slaves, it does not matter, if it is the tribe that was originally forced to depend, then divide the tuntian to supervise, the meritorious barbarian head is raised by the official Lu in the pass, do not give contact with the people, if it is a small tribe annexed by the barbarian king, there is a blood feud, restore the name of the tribe, go out of the grassland, and shepherd sheep and horses for the Lord!"

"Shhh...... Very good, very good, Mr. Yuan is a national soldier! Fang Xin couldn't help but sigh, the ancients were really not inferior in terms of power and strategy

After this battle, most of the elite soldiers of the barbarian king were folded, and the barbarian king had become an empty shelf, and 20,000 soldiers, in the face of 80,000 soldiers, the barbarians were not good at defending the city, basically there was defeat and no victory, there was death and no life, in the face of such a threat of life and death, it is true that as long as it is slightly relaxed, the barbarians will be tied up with the barbarian king to surrender.

If you give it another division, you can indeed govern the barbarians, and after a year you will be able to form a force, especially the strategy of herding horses, and if it is done, there will be a steady stream of horses in the future.

"Good, then Mr. Yuan, can you draft this for me?" This is equivalent to handing over this matter to him, and if it is done, it will naturally be a great achievement.

Yuan Cheng said respectfully: "Dare not obey your fate? ”

At the moment, the plan has been decided, and at dusk that day, this ultimatum will be shot into the city with a bow and arrow, and as for the effect, it is natural to wait for the natural evolution of the city......

And Mengcheng Pass is the last barrier from the grassland, with the natural mountain as the pass, so there are still some trees, although it is not good to cut down, but Fang Xin still ordered to cut down and make siege equipment.

As for the car battalion, at this time the corpses and wounded soldiers were already carried back and transported, while the battalions counted the supplies, reorganized the personnel, and bandaged and healed the lightly wounded soldiers, so busy in the dark.

Until the last day of the ultimatum, seven days later, the camp even returned.

An army of 80,000 and 5,000 cavalry were all over the pass.

"Go up to the army to plot, then attack the enemy, then attack the army, and attack the city below."

The heavy passes are all thick and high walls, ditches and rivers to protect the city, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so they can win more with less, but the barbarians broke the city last time, burned half of it, and held their own cavalry and shooting, and did not repair the city wall, so that the city wall is now very weak (also because of the small population), so it is difficult to see it at all.

Fang Xin stared at the city, and when he saw that there was no movement, he sneered.

It is still two dragon qi, Fang Xin's Huang Jiao has already opened his teeth and claws, soared into the sky, and has become very fiery, with scales and claws, and the cold light is shining, which is supported by military qi.

On the contrary, the black Jiao not only shrunk by a few percent, but also its qi was turbid, obviously unable to concentrate, and the scales were even more bloody, and the claws were broken, although it was roaring, it was really weak.

Seeing this, Fang Xin waited quietly, only to see that noon was approaching, and there was no movement in the city, Fang Xin did not move, so he gave an order, saying: "Send the catapult forward." ”

These catapults, made from local materials, are naturally not suitable for a long time, but they are enough for now.

"Yes!" Suddenly, dozens of taels of simply made trebuchets began to push forward, with a murderous aura.

Time passed little by little, and the drums began to sound, one after another, and the orders in the army began to be issued, and the armies began to prepare.

At this moment, the sound of fighting suddenly came from the city, and fire smoke rose straight up.

Fang Xin immediately did not give the order to attack the city for the time being, and waited quietly.

After a while, the city gate was opened, and dozens of horsemen rushed out, holding high the white flag, which naturally immediately had the shogunate captain come forward to ask, and after a while, he rode back and knelt down to Fang Xin: "My lord, the barbarian king committed suicide, his son fled from the grassland, and the rest of the army surrendered!" ”

"Congratulations, sir!" Hearing this news, all of a sudden, the people around Fang Xin bowed down.

Fang Xin didn't see joy at first, and after a while, he sent another guard into the city to prevent fraud.

Everyone looked at the city, but Fang Xin was a little angry at this time, it was obvious that at least the escape of the son of the barbarian king was a compromise and acquiescence, but this was also human nature, so he had to wait.

In another half an hour, the guard had taken control of the vicinity of the city gate and came out to signal safety.

Only then did Fang Xin announce this to the whole army, time, and the three armies were overjoyed and cheered, which represented the end of the war in the southwest and also represented life.

The army began to enter, and it was not until he took control of the whole city that Fang Xin entered the city, and began to count and deliver the household and granaries, as well as the armor.

Tens of thousands of troops supported them, and when they entered the city, they saw that the palace of the barbarian king was still burning.

Fang Xin retracted his gaze, at this time, the rest of the people in the city who were loyal to the barbarian king were still resisting, Fang Xin heard the news, and under the heavy protection of the personal guards, he galloped not far to observe.

After observing for a while, he knew that this kind of resistance was only sporadic resistance, so he ignored it and let the generals deal with it themselves.

The soldiers found a very complete residence, which was probably originally the residence of the minister of the barbarian king, and now it is naturally occupied by Fang Xin, although there are endless soldiers outside, and there is even a lot of fire, as well as the sound of battle, but in this garden, the soldiers guard all the houses and corridors, for a while, there is no sound.

It wasn't until Fang Xin finished his lunch that the sound of fighting in the city died out, and the generals came to report that the city had been cleared.

When Fang Xin heard this, he said "um", and said: "This palace fire, isolated from it, burn it if you want to, all battalions must be strict with military discipline, and there must be no wanton killing, as for those barbarian leaders, they will be summoned tomorrow!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Waiting for the soldiers to come out, Fang Xin went straight up and looked, but saw a golden light in the city, blazing and mighty, Huang Jiao flew straight up, swirling in the sky, a moment later, the pillar of light rose from the sky, this star field, the originally bright stars were dim, and even silent.

has become a pillar of heaven, and since then, it has been regarded as a foundation and a dragon!
