The war has finally come to an end.

The mighty war is finally over.

After a day and a night of sorting, the gains and losses were finally summed up.

Zhao Wudaunt's 40,000 elite soldiers sacrificed more than 8,000 people in the rush, and Zhao Xuanqi's musket team also killed more than 100 people due to arrows and other reasons.

This time, a total of more than 100,000 elite soldiers of the princes' coalition army were killed, and most of the enemy troops died in the chaos, and there is no specific number of statistics.

And the eight princes and kings all died in this war, and none survived, as well as the rebellious princes and officials in various places, most of whom also died in the war.

In the end, the harvest of grain was carried in countless quantities, and most importantly, many surrendered enemy troops were captured alive.

Inside the tall tent.

Zhao Xuanqi was dressed in a robe, and he had already taken a hot bath all over his body, and he looked very clean.

He is in his thirties, but he still looks very young, and he has a lot of beard on display, which adds a lot of majesty to his body.

Zhao Wuxing was resting on the chair across from him, wearing black armor and oily face, which looked a little dirty.

There were only two people in the room.

Zhao Xuanqi looked at it and couldn't help but praise: "Zhao Wuxing, you are very brave in this battle, I didn't misunderstand you, you are very good!" ”

Zhao Wuxing wiped his face and smirked: "The generalissimo is the one who has made the greatest contribution, if it weren't for you running thousands of miles, climbing over the snowy mountains, and going around the enemy, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop!" ”

Zhao Xuanqi took a sip of water and scolded with a smile: "Don't be poor, I will remember your merits, and when I go back, I will ask Your Majesty to give you the title of Marquis, a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, and several other brave generals will also be rewarded." ”

After talking about meritorious deeds, Zhao Xuanqidao's eyes showed joy again, and he said slowly: "After this war is over, the entire south has been cleaned up and stabilized, and those rebellious ministers and thieves have all been wiped out in this war. ”

To be honest, this huge crisis is finally over.

In the past, there were millions of northern mangtie horses riding into the pass, and there were also eight princes and kings in the south who were in rebellion, which can be said to be internal and external troubles.

Such a huge mess can be said to be turned upside down, Zhao Xuanqi can be said to be frightened these days, and now he can finally take a breath.

Zhao Wuxing was convinced, and there was a look of respect in his eyes.

The generalissimo is really a god!

A month or two ago, I thought that this time the imperial court would be overthrown, and I didn't see any hope of victory at all.

I didn't expect that in just one or two months, this time the crisis that could sweep the world and subvert the entire country was easily solved.

Except for what a god and man could describe, Zhao Wuxing couldn't think of any other adjectives.

Zhao Wuxing nodded in response: "Generalissimo is mighty!" ”

He added: "But there is another problem in front of me, this time the enemy has surrendered too many enemy troops......

Zhao Xuanqi frowned and asked seriously: "I asked the people under your command to summarize the gains and losses, tell me, how many soldiers of the enemy army laid down their weapons and armor and surrendered this time?" ”

Zhao Wuxing's face was solemn, he lowered his head, and slowly stretched out three fingers: "Three hundred thousand, three hundred thousand soldiers!" ”

"Some of them are elite soldiers in a hundred battles, but most of them are auxiliaries, but they also have not weak combat ability, and now they have been tied up and all of them are strictly guarded by our people!"

When Zhao Xuanqi heard this number, he couldn't help but gasp.

He stood up all at once and paced back and forth in the room: "There are too many people! ”

"We only have more than 30,000 men left, but we have to watch over 300,000 enemies!"

"Guard ten times as many enemies as many!"

Zhao Wuxing stood up, the armor pieces made a collision sound, he followed behind Zhao Xuanqi, his tall body leaned over, and said slowly: "Generalissimo, and it's more than that!" ”

"In this war, the enemy is too numerous, and our number is too small, in order to kill and injure the enemy as much as possible, I basically kill the enemy while setting fire, so I can kill so many enemies, so that the enemy can be routed so simply."

"The fire has burned a lot of supplies, and I estimate that we don't have enough food to feed so many people now, at most enough for a month."

After Zhao Xuanqi heard this, he felt even more difficult for a while.

There are not enough people, not enough food!

When he walked out of the tent, he immediately saw a mess of the earth, all kinds of corpses that had not yet had time to be cleaned up, including the collapsed and burning tent.

In the prisoner of war camp, you can still hear faint crying, the crying is intermittent, basically every prisoner of war camp has it, and some of them are even particularly miserable.

He summed it up again:

"And that's not all!"

"This rebellion is a rebellion in the entire south, led by the king of Huainan and the other seven princes, a total of eight princes and kings rebelled."

"These rebellious soldiers belonged to various vassal states, which ruled one place for many years, and the people of the country only knew the princes and kings but not the imperial court, and only believed in the princes and kings but not the imperial court."

"I'm afraid to them, we're the real enemy."

"The most important thing is that the reason why the king of Huainan has an army of one million is that most of the soldiers under their command are from the Huainan region, and most of them are from the southern region, and the hundreds of thousands of troops have almost emptied the household registration in the south, and the soldiers are related to each other."

"We have killed so many enemies this time, and many of the enemy soldiers are brothers and relatives among themselves, their children, relatives and friends, and many of them have died in this war, I am afraid that we have already hated us to the core."

"We can say that they kill their fathers and enemies, and kill their relatives and enemies."

Zhao Wuxing was analyzed by this, and suddenly felt that his head was big, and he concluded: "We have killed so many enemies, it can be said that we have offended the entire south, I don't know how many wives and children, mothers and daughters are waiting for their husbands to return at home, and the south can now be said to be a vegetarian." ”

"If these captives are put back, with their hatred and hostility towards us, I am afraid that it will cause even greater chaos, and the rebellion will not stop at all, it will be suppressed in vain!"

Zhao Xuanqi closed his eyes.

Three questions.

There wasn't enough food, there weren't enough men, and the soldiers were resentful.

Put it back, that is, let the tiger return to the mountain, and he does not have enough food to feed so many people, and even the manpower to take care of it is insufficient.

He suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Zhao Wuxing and said, "Just don't do it and kill them all!" ”

Although Zhao Wuxing had expected it, when he heard this order, his breathing still stagnated for a moment, and his voice was a little hesitant and trembling: "Generalissimo, but this is a full 300,000 people!" ”

Zhao Xuanqi said: "In addition, what better way is there? These 300,000 people are bombs that can explode at any time, and once they explode, with our small number of people, I am afraid that they may die on the spot at any time, and the national community will also be destroyed in an instant. ”

"If you don't kill these people, it will be difficult for the south to be stable!"

Zhao Wuxing knew this truth deeply.

This time it was taken by surprise and attacked from both sides, which was the only way to scatter and disrupt the enemy army, so that so many people could be captured.

If so many people rebel again, with 30,000 people on their side, and there are no firearms and ammunition, they will not be able to suppress it at all!

He said: "Dare to ask the generalissimo, then how to kill it?" Even if it is 300,000 pigs, killing them one by one, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time, not to mention that these 300,000 people are not pigs at all, they will resist......"

Zhao Xuanqi came up with a solution: "There are so many corpses on the battlefield, all of them have not had time to be cleaned up, and they are prone to plagues. ”

"We have to clean up the corpses, then on the pretext of tidying up the corpses, to prevent the plague, let these captives dig pits, dig more holes, and take the initiative to dig some deep pits."

"In addition to burying the corpses of the dead in the war, the more holes dug up should be used as a burial place for their corpses!"

"Our soldiers with sharp weapons and hard armor have their archers standing by and watching, and once they have dug a hole, it will be their time to die!"

After saying this, Zhao Xuanqi completely closed his eyes and stopped talking, he deeply knew what the consequences of 300,000 people died.

But now there is no better way to deal with it than this method.

In order to stabilize the entire south, this is the only way to make a decision!

Zhao Wuxing nodded, clasped his fists and said, "My subordinates will retire, I'll arrange it!" ”

The next three days.

Groups of captives began to pick up hoes and manuscripts, and began to dig holes in the ground, digging many long and deep holes, or finding some natural ravines for burying the corpses.

There are also some captives, who specialize in collecting corpses, and they will go and collect the corpses, and these corpses are their fathers and villagers, and they will gladly collect the corpses and throw them into the pits.

More than 100,000 people died in the war, and when these corpses were all collected and filled into the pits, the attentive captives would find that there were still many holes that were not used!

It seems that this time the potholes have been dug a little too much!

By the time they reacted, it was too late.

Zhao Xuanqi has already given an order.

Make a clean sweep of!

All of these captives were violently driven into the pits and killed in batches.

In the past three days, digging pits and collecting corpses are manual work, and the food provided by Zhao Xuanqi to the captives is simply not enough, plus the reason for not getting enough sleep, the captives have been extremely weak.

Hungry and tired, there was no chance to resist at all.

It was too late to resist, and they could only be driven into the pit like a lamb to the slaughter, and finally die in the pit they dug with their own hands, and their fathers and villagers who died in the war slept forever in the pit.

At the same time, in the camp, some of the prisoners who were held felt that something was wrong, and after these imperial soldiers transported the prisoners, they did not transport them back, something must be wrong!

After some investigation, they carefully found that the imperial army was killing the prisoners, but they were unable to stop it, so they could only let out a painful wail and miserable screams in the camp.

But no matter how screaming it is, it's useless, because the next batch, sooner or later, will be their turn, and their result will only be death.

Batches of Imperial Forest Army, Ziyun Army, and Forbidden Army, they, the court soldiers, were also unbearable when they saw this scene.

Killing so many people is a crime!

It can be said that anyone with a little conscience and a little bit of seclusion will feel that this scene is too cruel.

However, as soldiers, they could only obey orders and kill these captives with their own hands.

Zhao Xuanqi stood next to him and supervised.

There was a prisoner from the enemy general, and when he was transported past Zhao Xuanqi, he stared at Zhao Xuanqi viciously, and his mouth made a disgusting voice: "You executioner, you have killed so many people, you will definitely go to hell!" ”

Zhao Xuanqi closed his eyes and replied, "If you can stabilize your family and country, what can you do if you go to hell?" ”

If we don't kill all these soldiers today, when they make a rebellion in the future, there will only be more deaths in the whole world.

At that time, it was too late to regret it completely.

Killing a small number of people and perfecting the majority of people, perhaps this is the choice that the superior must go through.

Therefore, he can only unswervingly carry out this order.

Half a day later, 300,000 enemy soldiers were completely killed.

There are also some people who resist halfway, and are directly shot by soldiers with bows and arrows, or slashed with swords, and then thrown into pits and buried.

A line of heavenly plains.

This vast plain may never be peaceful again.

Zhao Xuanqi stood on the plain of the first line of heaven, looking at the thick ground under his feet, as if he could hear the suffocating screams coming from the ground.

Most of the soldiers on this side of the court were in a state of sadness.

However, people's sorrow and joy have always been unconnected.

There are also many people who are in a state of euphoria.

Because of the complete victory and the killing of so many enemies, after going back this time, there will definitely be many people who will be awarded the title of marquis, and the title will not be less at all.

Zhao Xuanqi didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Rejoice that the battle was won a great victory, and sadly that too many people have died for this war.

He looked at a long river flowing on the plains, and could even see the blood flowing in the river, and some of the bodies drowned in the river.

He could only sigh, and finally remembered a poem with some feeling, and slowly recited it:

"Zeguo Jiangshan Entering the War"

"What is the plan of the people, Leqiao Su"

"Seal the marquis with your words"

"One will make ten thousand bones wither."

"It is rumored that the First World War is full of sorrow"

"The strong troops on both sides of the strait have not stopped"

"Whoever says Cangjiang is always fine"

"Recently, there has been a long battle of blood"

The civil servant next to him slowly wrote down everything he saw, and also wrote the poem in it, and finally carefully summarized the experience.

History freezes at this moment and becomes a thick notemark:

[Huwei Pass, a line of sky, the princes and kings rebels knock on the pass]

[The two armies faced each other, and from time to time thunder came, smashing the camp of the rebel commander, and the rebels were in chaos]

[The generalissimo used 40,000 elite soldiers, flanked on both sides, bravely attacked the coalition army of millions of princes and kings, punished the eight kings, and won 300,000 soldiers]

[The generalissimo said: "If you don't kill them, you are afraid of chaos", but blackmail and kill them]

[Bleeding into a river, boiling like thunder]
