I can sign in in Datang

Chapter 763

Chapter 763

Qi Jinlan Dulu hesitated for a long time, and said bitterly: "I am willing to surrender!"

Cheng Yaojin showed a hint of joy, and said: "Since you are willing to surrender, let them lay down their weapons and send people to persuade them to surrender elsewhere, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties."

Since Qi Jinlao Dulu chose to surrender, it was naturally after careful consideration. Hearing the words, he directly ordered the soldiers to put down their weapons.

Some of those soldiers immediately put down their weapons, while others hesitated, but when they saw others put down their weapons, they also put down their weapons in the spirit of following the crowd.

Without Cheng Yaojin's instructions, Lin Xuan sent someone to put away those weapons and drove them all together.

Qi Jinlan Dulu lined up a few people, and together with Tang Jun, went elsewhere to persuade him to surrender.

Half an hour later, the entire Mukun tribe no longer shouted for killing.

Only the painful groans of soldiers.

Cheng Yaojin ordered the military doctors to treat the wounded with all their strength, including those from the Mukun tribe, all of whom were treated equally.

Although the people of the Mukun tribe surrendered, they looked at the soldiers of Datang with hatred in their eyes.

When Cheng Yaojin ordered the treatment of their wounded soldiers, the hostility in the eyes of these people dissipated a little.

Rescue and treat wounded soldiers, arrange prisoners, and get busy in a mess. It's already late at night.

Cheng Yaojin divided his soldiers and horses into three groups, and took turns to watch the night. At the same time, he ordered people to kill cattle and sheep to reward the army.

His big tent, which was so lazy and lonely, was requisitioned by Cheng Yaojin and became a handsome tent.

Cheng Yaojin asked: "Have the casualties been counted?"

"Back to General, our army killed 340 people and wounded 780 people."

The Mukun tribe had about 3000 soldiers and horses. Datang was a surprise attack, with [-] casualties, and the Mukun tribe had more casualties.

Although there is no complete statistics, about half of the soldiers of the Mukun tribe were killed in battle.

If you want to wipe them all out, Datang will have more than [-] casualties.

Cheng Yaojin was silent for a while and said: "Let's go on, no matter who dares to rape and plunder, no matter who they are, they will be killed!"

"Yes!" Everyone's hearts tightened, and they quickly responded.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard, let's have something to eat with the general, and go to bed early." Cheng Yaojin ordered the soldiers to bring up the roasted mutton and beef.

Everyone was also polite, grabbed it and started eating.

Many even had blood on their hands, but didn't care.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan completely lost his appetite. Although he washed his hands several times, his body was stained with a lot of blood, and he always felt a faint smell of blood around him.

When meat is eaten in the mouth, there is always a feeling of nausea.

In order not to affect others, Lin Xuan could only resist eating some.

After they were full, they bowed to Cheng Yaojin and left, but Lin Xuan stayed behind.

"I see you haven't eaten much just now, old man. Is it because you have no appetite or can't eat?" Cheng Yaojin asked while holding the meat.

Lin Xuan smiled wryly, he had nothing to hide from Cheng Yaojin and said, "Uncle Cheng, my nephew really can't eat it."

Now only the two of them are there, but Lin Xuan didn't call the general.

Cheng Yaojin put down the meat in his hands, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and said, "It's like this at the beginning of the battle, but you'll get used to it after a while. When I was fighting, when the battle was over, I found that the dry food in my arms had been taken away by the enemy. The blood is wet, and it’s not the same to eat.”

After Lin Xuan listened, the scene of Cheng Yaojin gnawing on a big biscuit stained dark red with blood appeared in his mind, and his stomach was churning.

Seeing Lin Xuan's face turned pale, Cheng Yaojin laughed, and said, "You boy can't do this."

Lin Xuan didn't want to discuss this topic with Cheng Yaojin, and said, "Uncle Cheng, someone from the Mukun tribe must have escaped. It won't be long before Tong Eshe will know that Datang has mobilized troops against him, and will definitely send reinforcements. Our horse infantry The total is less than [-], and there are so many prisoners now, once the reinforcements from the Western Turks arrive, and the chief executive has not yet arrived, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"

"You want this old man to follow the example of Lord Wu An and kill all these people?" Cheng Yaojin asked back.

Wu Anjun is Bai Qi's title. Although Bai Qi is very controversial, the generals respect him very much.

Lin Xuan nodded.

Cheng Yaojin said with a smile: "If killing them is the best way, the old man naturally doesn't mind being infamous."

Killing prisoners is ominous.

If Cheng Yaojin ordered those people to be murdered, the verbal criticism of those civil servants and scholars would be enough for him.

But as he said, if it's the best way, he'll do it.

"The general means that there is a way to deal with it?" Lin Xuan asked in surprise.

Cheng Yaojin didn't answer this question, but said: "Since you know that Lord Wu An killed more than 40 Zhao soldiers after the Battle of Changping, do you understand why he did that?"

It was not easy for Qin to win the Battle of Changping.Before Bai Qi became the main general in the Battle of Changping, Qin Jun and Zhao Jun had been confronting each other for three years.Long-term consumption has already caused huge domestic losses in Qin, and there are also food shortages and injuries on the front line, which seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the Qin army.

Later, the Qin State used countermeasures to provoke the relationship between King Zhao and Lian Po, and the commander of Zhao Jun was replaced by Zhao Kuo, so the situation changed.Knowing that Zhao Jun changed his coach, Qin Guo also secretly replaced the coach with Bai Qi.

Under the command of Bai Qi, and Zhao Kuo's "on paper", the Qin army quickly made a breakthrough.In the end, after being besieged for 46 days, Zhao Kuo personally led his troops to break through and failed, and was shot to death by the Qin army's random arrows.

Because Zhao's army had no general to command, more than 40 soldiers surrendered to Qin's army.Bai Qi agreed to their surrender.

After the Battle of Changping, a difficult problem was posed in front of Bai Qi: How to deal with the more than 40 Zhao Guojiang troops?

Escorted back to Qin?

It must be extremely difficult and resource-consuming to bring all these more than 40 people back to Qin.Moreover, on the way back to Qin, the possibility of riots among these soldiers is very high.The number of troops on the front line of the Qin State is almost the same as that of the surrendered troops, and military suppression will inevitably pay a heavy price.

And even after they were successfully escorted back to Qin, Qin had to put in a lot of effort and time to make them use them for themselves.The Battle of Changping had already seriously injured the vitality of the Qin State. As Bai Qi himself said: "Although Qin has defeated the Changping Army today, more than half of the Qin soldiers died, and the country is empty."

Release in place?

In the era when all the people were soldiers, after these captives were released, they would soon reappear in Zhao's army and become one of the forces resisting Qin.So, what is the significance of victory in the Battle of Changping?

Therefore, before Bai Qi, there is only one best solution: kill them all.

In doing so, not only did the Qin army have no worries, but it also dealt a huge blow to Zhao's strength, leaving Zhao with no soldiers to use in the future.At the same time, it can also deter other countries and invigorate Qin's military prestige.

It can be said that killing and surrendering is the greatest benefit that Bai Qi, as a general, fought for the future of Qin on the battlefield.

In his previous life, Lin Xuan was curious about why Bai Qi wanted to kill more than 40 soldiers. He once checked the information, so he was very clear about it. When Cheng Yaojin asked, he said it.

Cheng Yaojin glanced at Lin Xuan in surprise, he didn't expect Lin Xuan to have such a deep insight into Bai Qikeng's murder of Zhao Guo's soldiers.
