Li You and Qin Shixin pursued all the way, and chased them out of twenty miles before collecting their troops, and when they came back, the camp of the Northern Captives had already been occupied by the foot soldiers who came from behind, and there were everywhere the Northern prisoners of war who knelt on the ground and cowered and trembled, and the corpses of the Northern Captives who died in the chaos could be seen everywhere.

After intense busyness, the results of this battle were finally counted, the 80,000 troops of the northern captives suffered more than 20,000 casualties, more than 30,000 were captured, and only more than 20,000 people escaped, as for how many people can return to the capital safely, it is difficult to say, and the casualties of the Jiazhou army are less than 2,000 people, this battle can be said to be a great victory without doubt!

This is also the Central Plains and the surrounding barbarian conquest in recent decades, the largest number of prisoners, completely broke the Great Wei's fear of the northern captives, the soldiers of the Jiazhou army raised their heads one after another, their faces were full of confidence and pride, if they said that they still had some apprehension in their hearts before the war, then now they are only looking forward to the next war with the northern captives as soon as possible.

"Lord Lieutenant, what about these captives?" Qin Shixin, Zhou Bofu and the others looked at Li You at the same time, according to their thoughts, these barbarians with the blood of the Wei people on their hands simply killed them, Sun Chuyang and Luo Shiji didn't seem to agree with their opinions, but they didn't say anything to stop them.

"These people have created boundless killing and abuse in the capital in Guannei Dao, and countless Great Wei people have lost their families, separated their wives and wives, and destroyed their savings for many years." Li You slowly told about the sins committed by these northern captives in the Great Wei, just when Zhou Bofu and the others thought that Li You would execute these people as they wished, Li You changed the conversation, "The sins of these people are too deep, it would be too cheap to execute them like this, and now that they are mining and building roads everywhere, it is better to reduce these people to hard labor and let them atone for the sins of the people of Great Wei!" ”

Gu Jiangzi built a huge workshop in Jiazhou, the daily need of iron ore, coal countless, with the increase of blast furnace, the transportation of minerals gradually can not keep up, and in this era mining is an extremely hard and dangerous thing, if the people of the Great Wei to do this, one Li You is a little unbearable, and the other will increase the cost of mining.

Now with these captives, this kind of thing can be handed over to them to do, anyway, they are all people who should have died, even if they die on the mine, no one will feel distressed, and after they die, no one will stand up for them and make trouble, the beginning of the industrial age will always devour countless corpses, so use the lives of these captives to promote the development of Great Wei.

Qin Shixin, Luo Shiji and others all agreed with Li You's disposition plan, Qin Shixin was satisfied with their long and tragic encounter, and Luo Shiji and Sun Chuyang were also relieved that they did not have to bear the notoriety of killing prisoners.

"Now that the northern captives blocking the road have been broken by us, what should we do next? Will it continue to besiege the capital in the north or go east to aid Henan Province? Zhou Bofu asked, since he went north, he has been in the limelight with cavalry, which made him depressed, and according to his ideas, he would prefer to go to Henan Province to fight with Yuan Zhang, and there may be a place for him at that time.

"What do you think?" Li You now prefers to listen to the opinions of his subordinates before making decisions, which is also the quality that a superior should have, from which he can judge the thoughts of his subordinates and make up for the vacancies that he has not yet thought of.

"Now that the capital is close at hand, Yaluhan and Wu Lie have all died here, with Xu Shiyong and Yang Deming, the two villains can't stop us, so it's better to take the opportunity to take the capital to boost the prestige." Qin Shixin opened his mouth and said, in fact, in his opinion, there are reasons for going east and going north, but Zhang Guo's tomb is near the suburbs of Beijing, which makes him more inclined to go to the capital.

"Xu Shiyong in the capital is just a turtle in an urn, and he can't escape no matter what, but if Yuan Zhang in the east eases up and cuts off our grain route, it will be troublesome, I think it's better to defeat Yuan Zhang to the east first, and it's not too late to go north in the future." For Zhou Bofu, he is now more eager to fight a tough battle, and Xu Shiyong's remnants of defeat will not arouse his interest in the slightest.

Everyone was divided into two factions to express their opinions and argue endlessly, Li You also silently weighed the advantages and disadvantages of these two plans, seeing that everyone seemed to be unable to put forward new opinions, Luo Shiji cleared his throat and spoke, "Lord Taiwei, it seems that the last general has its own advantages and disadvantages whether it is eastward or northward, although it is possible to recover the capital from the north, but it will also encounter the northern captives who go south from the Guannai Road, if they rush to the capital before us, it will not be so easy to break the city, and Yuan Zhang will also pull out to attack from both sides after a long war; And if you go east, you will miss the opportunity to recover the capital, don't forget, Shannan Dongdao is still hiding from an army of the king of Shu waiting to fish in troubled waters. ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, are we going to take it here and not move?" Zhou Bofu couldn't help but start complaining.

"The general thinks it's not an option." Luo Shiji ignored the ridicule in his words, "Although our army's losses in this battle are relatively light, the gunpowder in the stock has been exhausted, and it will take time to feed these prisoners and transport them to the back, so even if you get to the capital, it is not easy to break the city, so it is better to rest for a while." ”

"As for Henan Dao, there are still more than 100,000 troops under the command of King Qi, and they may not be easily broken by Yuan Zhang, since we don't have to worry about being attacked by them on both sides now, it is better to wait a little longer, and wait until the two armies are in full swing before killing from behind, so that we can also reduce some losses." After that, Luo Shiji gave Li You a look.

Li You understood that what Luo Shiji wanted to say was actually more than that, and there was another important reason to persuade him to postpone his assistance to Henan Province, that is, the wealthy families of Henan Province, these people would definitely not be of the same mind as Li You, even if Li You helped them drive away Yuan Zhang and bring Henan Province under the rule of King Fu, they would try their best to make trouble for Li You.

Therefore, it is better to take this opportunity to let Yuan Zhang clean up these wealthy families, so that Li You's hands will not be stained with the blood of the wealthy families, and it will be easier to recover Henan Province in the future.

But wouldn't it be the same as Yang Jiefu when I did this? This is indeed an extremely beneficial plan for Li You, but Li You doesn't seem to be able to accept it, you must know that if Yuan Zhang breaks through Henan Dao, it will not only lose these wealthy families, but also many people in Henan Dao.

"Repair in place for a few days, and after these captives are sent back to Huainan Province, we will go to the east to fight Yuan Zhang." Li You made a decision. (To be continued.) )
