At noon, the Jingzhou soldiers were fully dispatched to collect and accept prisoners, at least more than 100,000 people.

On both sides of the White River, clusters of people are divided, like a harvest of wheat stacks, and camps are set up along the river.

Liu Qi crossed the river with the troops, and there were very few Cao soldiers who escaped, all of them lying around the camp, and those who wanted to leave were also so hungry that they couldn't move around at this time.

Zhang He and Gao Ran took the initiative to surrender, and after experiencing the battle of Guandu, the battle of Nanyang forced them to change their masters, which was a difficult choice.

After Cao Cao eliminated Yuan Shao, he actually ordered the slaughter of Yecheng, and the two of them were resentful when they learned the news, and there were their relatives and friends, but none of them were spared.

In this southern expedition, human flesh was used as food for soldiers, and it was just enough to kill those ordinary people, but he even used knives against his own people, and even killed the people and soldiers who transported grain, which was simply inhumane.

And in this battle, the Hebei Army was wiped out, and after the two learned the truth, they thought about it in turn, and knew that Cao Cao was using a knife to kill people, how could it not make people feel cold?

Liu Qi dismounted to greet the two and sighed: "In the past, Yuan Gong sent a thief to beg for thieves, but unfortunately the two generals plotted for the villain, and had no choice but to follow the thieves. ”

When the two saw that Liu Qi was still helping them speak, they were moved, and Zhang He asked, "Dare to ask the general, have you ever caught Cheng Yu?" This person is the culprit and must be eliminated. ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "Cheng Yu has been beheaded by Lu Chang, General Lu is a native of Nanyang Bowang, seeing that his fellow villagers were killed like this, he was angry and beheaded him, and he has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light." ”

Zhang He sighed: "People say that Cao Cao is a traitor, and after all things, I dare not agree!" ”

Gao Ran said dissatisfiedly: "Jun Yi, are you still helping Cao Thief speak?" ”

Zhang He sneered: "This person is really a traitor!" ”

Gao Ran nodded and said: "This thief first killed innocent people in Hebei, and now the Nanyang army is in an emergency, and he wants to get rid of the newly surrendered Hebei army to save food and grass, and his heart is vicious, which makes people shudder." ”

Zhang He hugged his fists and said: "Such traitors are in charge of the government and oppress the Son of Heaven, it is really the misfortune of the Han Dynasty, we should get rid of the thieves for the country, and we will not hesitate!" ”

Liu Qi was overjoyed and ordered the two to go to collect and surrender troops, willing to continue to join the army and enlist in the army, willing to leave the land for farming and resettlement, and willing to return to their original hometown in the north, pay military salaries and repatriate them.

Zhang He was shocked when he heard this: "The general sent these soldiers back to their hometown, wouldn't it be a tiger returning to the mountain?" ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "After this encounter, it is expected that most of these soldiers will no longer want to serve the Cao thief, and will flee incognito, so that they can spread the evil deeds of the Cao thief all over the place, which is ten points better than the rumors." ”

Zhang He suddenly said: "General Kuanren, this move will definitely win the hearts of the people, and make the Cao thief lose popularity, Hebei is initially decided, Yan Zhao Nan'er will not be willing to be humiliated, and the old thief will be anxious." ”

The two thanked them again, returned to the camp to persuade them to surrender, and informed all the departments of Liu Qi's conditions, and everyone had three ways to go.

Those Cao soldiers were originally lying on the ground like dead fish, but when they heard the news, they felt like they had been splashed with a scoop of water, and they jumped up and down again.

In the evening, Zhao Yun and Gan Ning successively sent people to report that the news that Cao Cao used human flesh as military food spread, and the Cao army, which went to attack An Zhong and Xinye, instantly collapsed, and countless people surrendered, and the crisis between the two cities was resolved.

Liu Qi heard the report and felt a little sorry, so he let Xu Huang and Le Jin run away, thinking that he could catch at least one!

If the five good generals can also be dealt with, Cao Cao will only have his Cao family army left, and the threat will be greatly reduced.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to clean up the battlefield, calm people's hearts, and completely stabilize Nanyang.

Nearly 200,000 prisoners, as well as so many corpses after the war, the summer heat is very hot, it is easy to cause a plague, and it is not easy to deal with the aftermath!

When he was condolences everywhere to surrender the army and buy people's hearts, Zhuge Liang also came to the front line, looking at this tragic scene, sighing helplessly.

Liu Qi said: "Cao's army entered Nanyang, but Dongwu has been holding still, Zhou Yu has been training in Chaisang for a long time, Sun Quan is bent on attacking Jiangxia to take revenge, this time it is abnormal, I am afraid there is a different plan." ”

In addition to Nanyang, he was most concerned about Jiangxia, although Gan Ning turned back to Jingzhou by mistake, but Huang Zu was still not Sun Quan's opponent.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, general, I expect that the Dongwu Navy has already been dispatched at this time, but it is not to attack Jiangxia, but to Huainan." ”

Liu Qi was stunned: "Sun Quan is not in a hurry to take revenge again?" ”

In the past few years, Sun Ce and Sun Quan have attacked Jiangxia many times in order to take revenge, and they have not shared the sky, so don't want this great opportunity?

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Sun Quan has great ambitions, and Zhou Yu is also a good general in the world, how can he ignore the overall situation for personal revenge?" Cao Cao's army went south, was pinned down in Nanyang, and Xuzhou was empty, which was a good opportunity for Dongwu to go north! ”

"I see!" Liu Qi suddenly woke up.

Although he is a little prescient, he is still inferior to Zhuge Liang in judging the situation, and now that history has deviated and is out of track, he has to learn more.

After a pause, he smiled and said: "If Sun Quan leads his troops north, I'm afraid that Dongwu will also return this time." ”

Zhuge Liang asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Liu Qi also put on a look of insight into the world, stood with his hands in the wind, and said slowly: "Cao Cao is the best use of people, and the army is going south, how can he ignore Xuzhou?" Zhang Liao, the defender of Hefei, has been used to fighting for a long time, and Sun Quan has never led troops, if he is in a hurry to come out and do his best, he will be defeated. ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "General Zhongyuan, it coincides with me!" ”

Liu Qi felt a burst of relief in his heart, thinking that you are all pretending to be clever and talented, although I am a little worse, but the experience is not covered, and no one can compare to the area of knowing people.

The defeat of Cao's army in Nanyang was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime plan for Eastern Wu, but if Sun Quan led the troops, it might not be.

Today's Hefei defender is Sun Quan's nemesis Zhang Liao, and the situation is much more stable than the historical attack on Hefei by Eastern Wu.

If Sun Quan wants to force his head, I'm afraid the battle of Xiaoyaojin will be staged in advance!

Some people can seize the opportunity to become famous, and some people can bury the great opportunity in vain, and they still sigh that time is not waiting for me, and God's will is unfair.

But in any case, the situation in Jingzhou was basically stabilized, and the crimes committed by Cao Cao in Nanyang this time were even more despicable than the slaughter of Xuzhou, and Cao Jun did not want to step into Jingzhou half a step further.

Sun Quan sent troops north, which meant that Sun Cao's war broke out again, and if they were in a stalemate in Huainan, it would be a good opportunity for Jingzhou to develop.

As long as Liu Qi, like Sun Quan and Zhou Yu during this time, does not take the initiative to provoke Jiangdong, they can fight with confidence.

Although the current Sun-Liu alliance has not been formally formed, it is enough for the two sides to form a tacit understanding!

Even if you form an alliance, with Sun Quan's character, I don't know when I will give you a backstab, but it is better to be vigilant at all times!

Thinking of Guan Yu's attack on Fancheng, if Sun Quan did not attack Jingzhou, but went to attack Xuzhou, maybe the two families would have carved up the Central Plains a long time ago, and history was another trend.

For Liu Qi, the next step is to develop steadily, build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become king!
