Chapter Eighty-Three: Just Trying to Kill
"In last night's battle, counting the 300,000 new troops who entered the city, our army suffered at least 50,000 casualties!"
Sima Yi's expression was very serious, this is a very unoptimistic battle report data.
A battle was fought, and it still occupied the initiative of the night attack, but there were still 50,000 casualties. Strictly speaking, there are only 250,000 troops in the imperial capital today.
In order to take care of the emotions of the three princes, Sima Yi did not call this army a rebel army, but called them a "new army".
"What about the casualties of the rebels outside the city?"
"It's not yet dawn, and the exact number is not yet known, but at present, they should not exceed 50,000 casualties, and this is calculated on the premise that General Lei killed at least 30,000 people, and Daji Niangniang's last sword also killed at least 10,000 people. ”
"Then it seems that the rebels are far superior to our army, and in such a chaotic situation tonight, they can still block five with one. ”
"No, I think at least with a block of ten, or even more. ”
"The situation is not optimistic. ”
Sima Yi exhaled deeply, he glanced at Su Yi, the third prince who was sitting a little drowsy on the side, turned to the other ministers and said, "Let's talk about it first, and act according to the strategy we discussed." ”
"The emperor only asked us to hold the rebels back for ten days, not to annihilate them. ”
Sima Yi said lightly: "Then let's train the soldiers." ”
The gap in the strength of the soldiers on both sides is too large, and it is very difficult to annihilate the rebels in a short period of time, and Sima Yi can at most drive away the rebels.
But it was clear that the Emperor did not want him to do so.
This is not like using the power of the rebels outside the city to temper the new army in the city, and after the new soldiers and soldiers transform into elites, they can also directly join the Great Xia Iron Army and the Great Xia Town Guard.
"Good. ”
"It's a brilliant plan, and it's a lot to do. ”
The Southern Patrol Dynasty and others nodded in admiration, and Su Yi on the side was awakened by everyone's mixed words, and nodded in admiration with sleepy eyes: "Ah, what a clever plan, wonderful......"
Everyone looked at each other helplessly, Sima Yi instructed the palace people to send away the Third Highness, and then he hurriedly took the ministers to the school to lay out.
......
For ten days, Sima Yi and a group of ministers attacked on behalf of the defense.
Focusing on military training, the new army was arranged to defend the city in batches, and at the same time, ambush soldiers were sent out of the city at night to cover up and kill.
In order to prevent the rebels from retreating, Sima Yi had already sent an army to ambush around the imperial capital to prevent the rebels from fleeing and leaving.
But the truth is that Sima Yi is too worried, and the rebels outside the city are like crazy and keep attacking the city.
For ten days, the rebels left behind piles and piles of corpses.
Lei Zhenzi, as a hole card, did not make a move in these ten days, and the entire battle was controlled by Sima Yi and other ministers of the Military Aircraft Cabinet.
Facts have proved that Sima Yi and others' methods are old and spicy, and their strategies are far-reaching.
The enemy and the enemy have come and gone, and just relying on the new army in the city, without the support of the top combat power of the Nirvana Realm and the Legendary Realm, they are still fighting with the rebels outside the city.
On the 10th day, the western and northern battlefields were calmed down, and the remaining four princes died on the battlefield.
The Great Xia Iron Army and the Great Xia Town Guards converged and sent troops to aid the imperial capital.
More than 200,000 elite troops converged, cooperated with the 250,000 new troops in the imperial capital to form a flanking attack, and began to frantically encircle and suppress the elite rebels led by Su Yi.
In the continuous frenzied siege of the city for ten consecutive days, the morale of the rebels under Su Yi and his command has been depressed, the baggage is lacking, and the soldiers are all wounded, and they are not at all the opponents of the rested Great Xia Iron Army and the Great Xia Town Guard.
The battle lasted for five consecutive days, most of the more than 200,000 elite rebels under Su Yi were captured or killed, and only a few thousand escaped from the battlefield.
It is worth mentioning that the Soviet Union died on the battlefield in the first battle, and did not surrender in the bloody battle.
When the news of the victory reached the imperial capital, the people of the audience were jubilant, filled with joy, and spontaneously gathered on both sides of the street to welcome the two elite armies of the Great Xia Dynasty into the city.
The Great Xia Iron Army and the Great Xia Town Guard Cavalry, in the battles one after another, have proved their strength with thick feats, and they are worthy of the name of the elite division.
......
Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Study.
Sima Yi, Zhao Yun and other important civil and military ministers stood in front of Su Chen with their hands tied and reported their achievements.
"Emperor Qiyu, the rebel army outside the city has collapsed, the new army in this battle lost 80,000 people, 60,000 people were slightly injured, 3,000 people were slightly injured by the guards of Daxia Town, and more than 1,000 people were killed by the Great Xia Iron Army......"
"Emperor Qiqi, the rebels outside the city totaled 210,000 people, 80,000 were killed in battle, and 130,000 were captured.....; Among the rebels, the minister also saw Wang Sima and Chen Situ, who had escaped from the imperial capital. ”
One battle report after another came up, constantly piling up on the imperial desk, there were merits, battle losses, military reports of the imperial capital battle, and military reports on the battlefields on all sides.
Every battle record is stained with blood.
There is the blood of the rebels, and even more of the blood of the heroes.
Su Chen lowered his head and looked at the military reports one by one, but he never flipped through the battle report about the rebels in the imperial capital at hand.
"The battlefield is stable on all sides, the rebellion of the Eight Kings has become history, and the next thing will bother you Aiqing. ”
Su Chen didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "The country is stable, the cities need to be rebuilt, and the fiefs of the counties under the command of the eight kings must also be recovered." ”
"This matter will be handed over to the Military Aircraft Pavilion to do, and there is also a list of heroes and detailed merits for quelling the Eight Kings Rebellion, and a report will also be drawn up, and I will discuss the meritorious deeds. ”
"Wow. ”
Sima Yi respectfully saluted, he now seems to have become the leader of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, and he can be called the head of the hundred officials.
Whether it is wisdom, means, or the degree of favor of the emperor, he really deserves it.
"Emperor, dare to ask..... What should be done with the rebel prisoners in the city?"
Guan Yiwu came out of the ranks, and after respectfully saluting, he asked, "Is it possible to educate them and then integrate them into the new army?"
Guan Yiwu and Liu Bowen only returned a few days ago, and as soon as they returned, they joined the encirclement and suppression of the rebels outside the city, and their opinions were more inclined to subdue and educate the 130,000 elite rebels who were captured.
These 130,000 people, if properly trained, are equivalent to a new Great Xia Iron Army.
However, Su Chen didn't want to take their advice.
"Kill them all. ”
Su Chen didn't raise his head, and threw the fold of the list of prisoners of war on the imperial desk to Lizhuzi, and said lightly: "Take it, I don't want to see it." ”
"Emperor, don't you even keep a single captive? That's 130,000 people!"
Guan Yiwu couldn't help but speak: "Although this group of people are traitors, the leader of the thieves is dead, and the minister is sure that they will be used by the emperor......."
"Kill. ”
Su Chen raised his head, glanced at Guan Yiwu with a calm look, and said, "Isn't it true that you don't understand what I said?
This group of traitors almost killed Daji, and even more almost defeated the imperial capital!
It is true that Su Chen is the emperor, and the emperor should have the world in mind, but don't forget...... He can also make this world bleed!
Su Chen will not give this group of captives any chance to live, this group of people should be killed!
Not killing is not enough to appease the emperor's anger, and not killing is not enough to give an explanation to this country!
"This ......"
Guan Yiwu and Liu Bowen were stunned and looked at each other.
Wouldn't it be too brutal to take prisoners of 130,000 elite soldiers and kill them as they say?
Chen Qun quietly tugged at the sleeves of the two of them on the side, signaling them not to speak again.
The emperor is obviously angry at this time, these 130,000 people will be killed, anyway, it is also a group of traitors, there is no need to make the emperor unhappy for them.
There was a brief silence in the atmosphere in the imperial study, and the third prince Su Yi on the side did not dare to breathe.
Sima Yi groaned slightly, and suddenly said with a smile: "The emperor's clever strategy." ”
“???”
Everyone looked at Sima Yi one after another, with a puzzled look on their faces.
"Although it seems brutal and inappropriate to kill 130,000 people, if you think about it carefully, it is actually a clever plan. ”
Sima Yi explained with a smile: "In this way, we can suppress other unscrupulous Xiaoxiao and Bawang Yu in the country; second, these 130,000 captives are elite troops, not miscellaneous soldiers, most of them are diehards of the great prince." ”
"If this group of people were to be integrated into other armies, there was no guarantee that they would not hold a grudge and cause another incident. ”
Sima Yi is right, most of the 130,000 captives are elites with firm beliefs, who can guarantee that they will not attempt to turn the tables again, or even attack and kill the emperor in the imperial capital?
At the same time, this time the Eight Kings Rebellion made the whole country panic, it can be said that the current Great Xia Dynasty needs this group of captives to give an explanation with their lives and blood!
If you don't kill them, you will give other people in the country a kind of luck mentality.
If the rebellion fails, only the head of the thief is killed, and the others can still be turned into regular soldiers?
Where can I find such a good thing!
No matter how you look at it, these 130,000 captives must be killed.
After listening to Sima Yi's explanation, everyone suddenly realized, and hurriedly smiled and said, "The emperor really has a clever plan!"
Guan Yiwu sighed convincingly: "The minister is too stupid, and he almost missed a big thing." ”
"The wisdom of the emperor is beyond the reach of the ministers. ”
Everyone is constantly sycophant, and it seems that they are all a group of old fritters who are well versed in the way of officials.
Su Chen raised his head, glanced at everyone, and said lightly: "Actually, I just want to kill them to vent my anger. ”
You're thinking too much, I'm just trying to kill.
Sima Yi: "......"
Other Ministers: "......"
