……

Ah Meng walked up to Chai Zhong's side, and a big foot stepped on his chest, turning Chai Zhong's cuirass out of shape. Ah Meng lifted the mask up, stared at Chai Zhong with two copper bell big eyes, and said, "What's the matter, will you surrender this time?" ”

"Ahem...... I'd rather die than surrender...... Ahem......"

Chai Zhong spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, still looking stubborn.

Honk...... Honk......

Ah Meng heard the sound of the brass horn and said with a smile: "Haha, Chai Zhong, come and see ......"

Ah Meng picked up Chai Zhong with one hand and faced the west, Chai Zhong opened his eyes and saw that hundreds of torches suddenly lit up in the jungle a kilometer to the west, neatly lined up in a phalanx, slowly approaching the camp. Chai Zhong looked around again, at this time the tortoiseshell array had dispersed, forming a small formation of five people, constantly harvesting his subordinates, and then looking to the north, the edge of the jungle hundreds of meters away was also lit up with many torches, and there were two teams of cavalry around the camp kept shuttling back and forth, as long as the soldiers who ran out of the camp were cut down, none of them could escape.

Seeing this scene, Chai Zhong had no choice but to say, "Let me down...... I...... I surrender ......"

Ah Meng put Chai Zhong on the ground, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "That's right, I knew that you and I didn't have to fight, and there wouldn't be so many people dead......

Chai Zhong hurriedly continued: "Then you don't tell your people to stop!" ”

Ah Meng was in a good mood and shouted, "Haha...... Okay, the second and third companies ceased fighting, and the third company returned to the east gate of the camp to stand by......"

Chai Zhong knelt on the ground dejectedly, and heard the neat footsteps of hundreds of people stop, he looked up, a man who was not tall slowly walked out of the back of the team, and stayed closer, by the light of the torch, he saw Liu Zhibang's face clearly, and was very surprised, this man's face was white and tender, and it was estimated that he was no more than twenty-three or four years old, but seeing the crowd behind him, he was sure that this person was the "bandit leader" Liu Zhibang.

"Report to the commander, the Black Ape Corps surrendered, and this person is the corps commander Chai Zhong!" Ah Meng straightened up, stretched out his right palm to his forehead, and gave a military salute.

Liu Zhibang returned a military salute to Ah Meng, and after putting down his hand, he looked at Chai Zhong carefully, and said, "You are Chai Zhong?" ”

Chai Zhong glared at Liu Zhibang and said, "Hmph, it's the general, you are the bandit leader Liu Zhibang?" ”

Liu Zhibang said: "Well, I am the commander of the Han Army, Liu Zhibang, the head of Chai, I have admired the name for a long time, I am fortunate to finally meet you today, Captain Chai, the Han people welcome you......"

Chai Zhong snorted and said, "Don't come to this set, I am your defeated general, if you want to kill or give a happy word!" ”

Liu Zhibang smiled and said: "Since the head of the Chai regiment has surrendered, our Han nationality will naturally treat each other with courtesy, the commander of the Shanmeng battalion, quickly help the head of the Chai regiment!" ”

"Yes!"

Liu Zhibang looked at Chai Zhong again and said with a smile: "Head Chai, I will introduce you to an old man...... Head Xia, here you come! ”

Xia Yong slowly walked out of the crowd behind Liu Zhibang, calmly looked at Chai Zhong's surprised black face, nodded and said, "Captain Chai, I didn't expect us to meet again in such a way......"

Chai Zhong's mouth opened wide, and it took a long time before he said, "You...... You were also captured? ”

……

As soon as Liu Zhibang walked into his room, Aya followed and walked in, and said, "Abang, there is something I have thought about for a long time and I can't think of a good way, I must solve it completely by you!" ”

Liu Zhibang's face was tired, but he still replied: "What is so difficult to decide? ”

While helping Liu Zhibang press his temples, Aya said: "Last night, our Han army won another big victory, I just counted, this time the Black Ape Corps surrendered and captured 613 soldiers, plus the soldiers of the Fire Cavalry Regiment captured last time, there are more than 1,000 people, just at the beginning of the prisoners of the Fire Cavalry Regiment were handed over to Ma San to deal with, and today they brought back more than 600 people, how to deal with so many people, if we send them to mine and burn kilns, we still need a certain number of people to guard, and soon the main force of Xia Yuancheng will arrive, Even if they are all locked up, they will need a lot of food every day, and although our food has been replenished because of the supplies sent by Shopkeeper Mu, it is actually quite nervous...... If these more than 1,000 captives can't be used by us, they will become a burden, and if they fight with Li Jun's main force, these more than 1,000 people rebel again, and the consequences will ......."

Hearing this, Liu Zhibang opened his eyes suddenly, grabbed Aya's hand, turned his head to look at her, and said, "Yes, Aya is still thoughtful, this is indeed a big problem!" ”

Aya sat beside Liu Zhibang lightly and said, "These days, I will read the information on the 'Noah's Ark System' every day, I have seen similar situations in your history before, and there is a story that impresses me very deeply...... It was in your place called the earth, there was a story called 'Battle of Changping' thousands of years ago, when the general of the Qin State Bai Qi captured 400,000 Zhao soldiers, because there was no food, he killed 400,000 soldiers of the Zhao army, so that when the war with the Zhao State was fought later, the Zhao people even the old people and children resisted desperately, and the Qin army destroyed the Zhao State at a great price......"

Liu Zhibang rubbed his brows and said: "It's not the best policy to kill them all, that will only provoke the enemy to fight to the death, these troops in Xia Yuan City are still different from the Black Mountain Clan, after all, many of them have families in Xia Yuan City, although these people surrender, it does not mean that they are willing to submit to us, and they have to fight back from time to time, which is really nerve-wracking......

Aya asked, "Then do you remember a good case where the same situation was solved?" ”

Liu Zhibang thought for a while and said: "Yes, after all, human history is so long, I remember that there was a regime in Huaxia, and there was a similar situation in the confrontation with the government army in power before the founding of the People's Republic of China...... Well, you can give it a try......"

After speaking, Liu Zhibang didn't delay for a moment, got up and walked out, and Aya hurriedly followed.

Liu Zhibang ordered to gather all the troops of Xia Yuancheng as he walked, and most of the Han army moved, after all, it was thousands of people, and once they rebelled on the spot, it would be a terrible thing. After a short time, Liu Zhibang and Aya walked to the east city wall, and thousands of prisoners gradually gathered outside, some of whom gathered under the east city wall with the support of their companions, surrounded by Han soldiers who were waiting for battle, all of them with swords and guns out of their sheaths, murderous.

"Go and take all the officers away and lock them up!" Liu Zhibang whispered to Lu Er, and Lu Er took the order and left, and after a while, nearly 100 officers, large and small, were taken out of the prisoner circle.
