Li Guodong just asked the light cavalry to follow the defeated Left Army veterans, his own infantry and heavy cavalry to accommodate the fleeing refugees.

In fact, Zuo Liangyu's army is similar to that of the bandits, and is composed of two parts: old camp soldiers and refugees. However, some of the refugees in his hands were refugees who were taken in after defeating the bandits, and some of them were robbed by the villages and villages that the left army robbed by passing by. The people captured were taken to serve as cannon fodder.

Now Li Guodong has robbed these refugees of the people who have become refugees, not to make them cannon fodder, but to turn them into productivity and make them produce things. As long as there are people, what can’t be made? There is not enough field, so you can develop overseas; if there is no iron ore, you can go to Qiongzhou to develop. As long as there is grain and iron ore, you can continue to build an army.

In this battle, Zuo Liangyu was defeated. More than 300,000 troops were killed and more than 20,000 were captured. More than 100,000 were captured. The rest were all defeated and fled.

Zhang Wei's light cavalry was like a maggot on his bones, following Zuo Liangyu's defeated soldiers and chasing them. The refugees who caught up with threw the ropes to them and tied them up. The veterans of the Zuo Army who caught up with him were slashed with one knife without saying a word. Three thousand and five hundred light cavalry chased for more than thirty miles, killing Zuo Liangyu's army's corpses flowing blood all over the field.

Each of the defeated Zuo Army ran away and fled desperately. More than 200,000 people fled. There were only 3,500 people chasing behind, but no one dared to turn around and resist. The slow-running Zuo Army soldiers either were cut off their heads from behind, or they knelt down and surrendered.

Zuo Liangyu escaped for more than fifty miles in one breath, and then he calmed down and ordered the loss to be counted and the remaining troops gathered.

The generals retreated and went to count the losses. After a while, Li Guoying, Lu Guangzu and others returned to Zuo Liangyu's central army tent and reported: "Master, our army was defeated miserably! The 300,000 troops are left, and there are only less than 60,000 people!"

The Jinyang army rushed into the abandoned Left Army camp, not only captured a group of injured young men, but also found many women.

These women were all good women who were robbed by Zuo Liangyu. After the Jinyang army rescued them, they would be assessed according to their own wishes. Those who knew how to sing and danced would be arranged to go to the art troupe; those who did not know how to sing and dance would be sent to the medical team and became medical soldiers after a period of training.

"Your Majesty, our army captured more than 80,000 refugees; more than 9,000 soldiers from the left thief old camp." He Xing walked into the central army camp and reported the results of the battle.

"Identify the captured refugees. If there are any soldiers who are involved in the left thief camp, I will find them out! Those veterans with corrupt military discipline are treasures in the eyes of others, but in Ben Bo's eyes, they are worthless garbage! I don't want those guys to get involved in our Jinyang army and ruin our military discipline!" Li Guodong said.

"No!" He Xing retreated.

There were too many prisoners, and more than 80,000 refugees were divided into interrogations to identify who were the veteran soldiers of the Zuo Army who were mixed with the refugees, but it was a big project. Li Guodong also knew that many veterans of the Zuo Liangyu Army were afraid of themselves. They knew that they had done a lot of bad things and were caught by Li Guodong, and they were likely to be pulled out and beheaded. When mixed with the refugees, they could not only survive, but also be divided into fields or places to be sent to construction. Not only did they have a bite of food, but it was said that the food was pretty good, and Wuweibo never owed military pay.

He Xing interrogated more than 80,000 people separately. After three days and three nights, he found out the more than 5,000 old soldiers from Zuo Liangyu's army who had sneaked in from the refugees.

With more than 9,000 prisoners of Zuo Liangyu's old camp, the Jinyang Army captured more than 14,000 soldiers of Zuo Liang's old camp this time. He Xing pointed to the tied prisoners and asked, "Bo Ye, how should these prisoners be dealt with?"

Li Guodong was originally going to order to pull all four thousand people out and cut them off, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind: "Let a prisoner go to send a letter to Zuo Liangyu and tell him that he can pay the silver to redeem these people, and let Zuo Liangyu take 300,000 taels of silver to redeem them!"

After He Xing retreated, he selected a young man who looked more honest from Zuo Liangyu's old camp prisoners, who had been a soldier for many years, and brought him to Li Guodong.

"My uncle, please spare my life!" The boy, who looked about sixteen or seven years old, knelt on the ground and begged, "The villain has his mother and young sister. They all rely on the villain's military pay to support him. Please give up your hands and let the villain go."

Li Guodong laughed: "You can let go, but you have to help me with something."

"What's the matter?" the young man quickly raised his head and asked.

"Liu Goudan!" Li Guodong suddenly shouted.

"I wonder what my uncle has to do?" The young man kowtowed quickly. His name was Liu Goudan. When he heard Li Guodong suddenly shouting his name, he was so scared that he kowtowed quickly.

"Uncle Ben will let you go now and help me deliver this letter to Zuo Liangyu. Remember, don't be foolish! We have found out wherever your home is. If you dare to run away halfway and still don't deliver the letter to Zuo Liangyu, our people will go to your home!" Li Guodong stared at Liu Goudan and said coldly.

Liu Goudan kowtowed several times: "My little man must deliver your letter to you, Mr. Bo."

"Just send the letter honestly, Zuo Liangyu won't kill you." Li Guodong said with a smile.

Liu Goudan took the letter, and Li Guodong also asked him to arrange a horse and send him out of the camp.

In the Zuo Army camp eighty miles away, someone entered Zuo Liangyu's central army camp and reported: "Master, Li Laoer released one of our prisoners back and said that he was sending a letter to Master."

"Let him in!" Zuo Liangyu said.

Liu Goudan was taken into the central army tent. When he saw Zuo Liangyu, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times. It was not until Zuo Liangyu asked him that he took out the letter from his sleeve, knelt on his knees and walked to Zuo Liangyu's desk with his knees, and presented the letter with both hands.

"Bang!" Zuo Liangyu took the letter, read it only once, and suddenly slapped the table, scaring Liu Goudan to death. Only then did Zuo Liangyu yell: "Li Ergou! You are too bullying! I still have to reorganize my troops and fight to the death with you! This time, you must cut off your dog's head!"

Liu Goudan was so scared that she had already urinated her pants. Seeing this, the generals around Zuo Liangyu stepped forward to advise: "Carewell, please calm down. What did the dog thief say in his letter? Can we see?"

Zuo Liangyu roared: "Li Ergou actually threatened me with our prisoners! He wrote that we had 14,000 veterans in his hands, so I asked me to redeem them with silver."

"Father, these veterans are our elites. Since Li Laoer doesn't kill them, we have to spend money to redeem them. My father might as well redeem them. After they come back, they will be grateful to you, and will fight to the death in the future. I will be loyal to you, my father, for your death." Zuo Menggeng advised.

"I know!" Zuo Liangyu roared with a thick neck, "It's okay to spend money to redeem it, but Li Ergou is too unintentional! He actually asked me for 300,000 taels of silver! A soldier actually offered a ransom of twenty taels of silver!"

"That's really a bad heart!" Zuo Menggeng said, "But my father, you can reply to Li Lao Er and ask him to lower the price, otherwise we really can't afford it."

"Okay!" Zuo Liangyu nodded, "I'm going to write a letter now. After finishing writing, let this Liu Goudan deliver it!"
