Chapter two hundred and ninety-five points and attack

"There are more than 10,000 prisoners of war, and it takes a long time to send them to Luoyang. Your Highness, why don't we?" Meng Guan paused when he said this, stretched out his hand and gestured to cut his hands, which was self-evident.

Killing prisoners is what Meng Guan thought. In his opinion, these prisoners are burdens and delaying the march time. There is no moral problem. Even if they cannot be praised, there is nothing to blame.

"You don't finish this on the battlefield, so you can't do it now." Sima Ji looked at Meng Guan and said in a pun. The King of Yan still avoided blatant killing prisoners on the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty. He held his waist with one hand, and the soreness seemed to remind something, which made Sima Ji very clear of his mind. There must be some way. Sima Ji, who knows allusions of Chinese and foreign history, was rapidly working to find useful experience.

In the eleventh century, Byzantine Emperor Basil II defeated the Bulgarians at Barasita, dug out 14,000 prisoners of war, leaving one for every 100 people, and guided the blind officers and soldiers back to their country. Along the way, the Bulgarian prisoners wailed in pain, and blood flowed down their eyes. When they set foot on the land of Bulgarian, all the Bulgarians were stunned by the captured soldiers. The Byzantine Emperor's reputation resounded throughout the land of Bulgarian. Four years later, the First Bulgarian Empire was destroyed by Byzantium.

Meng Guan’s unwillingness to divide his troops to escort these prisoners of war is simply because there are too many variables on the road. Moreover, the mainland has repeatedly resisted because of the prisoners who have been in labor service in recent years, which is indeed an unstable factor, and there is no way out.

"Appoint your soldiers to cut off all the left leg tendons of the rebels captured. Remember, only one leg tendon is allowed to be cut. If both legs are cut, they will be completely disabled. It is better to kill them. Let the Guanzhong army of the Qin King transport these prisoners to Luoyang." Sima Ji thought for a long time and felt that he had thought of the best of both worlds. He could continue to use these people to work labor, which would also make these people lose their ability to resist, especially their ability to escape.

Let these prisoners go to Luoyang with all their strength. I believe that the wound heals there and canals should be dug.

The camp continued to scream all night long, and the King of Yan had to take out his black technology cotton ears. After this unforgettable day, Hao Du's troops were defeated and killed at least one-fifth of Qi Wannian's strength. He completed the first stop to boost morale, especially Meng Guan himself led the way.

It seems that the history of the teammates of King Yan Zhu has not repeated this time, which can better achieve the support role and support Meng Guan to pacify the Qi Wannian Rebellion and move northward, it will enter the main competition area of ​​Wei and Shu decades ago, Longxi area. The purpose of this stage is to clean up the surrounding area and order the commanders and county magistrates in various places to block the connection between Qi Wannian and the northern grasslands.

Going north to the northern grassland is the only chance that Qi Wannian will escape, but it is not easy. His subordinates have been farming for many years, and this cannot be changed by Qi Wannian in one sentence. As long as Qi Wannian cannot escape, Sima Ji will have the ability to kill him.

"General Jianwu Du Jian paid homage to King Yan. His Highness of the King of Qin ordered our troops to come and support and attack the rebels of Qi Wannian." A few days later, Guanzhong reinforcements who also went north to Xiaoguan arrived here, with a total of 30,000 people.

Du Jian was the direct general of King Sima Jian of Qin. He had participated in the Battle of Hetao and was sent to assist Sima Ji this time.

"Du Jian? Is he the son of Du Shi of Jingzhao?" Sima Ji's heart was ruthless for a day, and his health was not much improved, but he still raised his face to express his welcome, because there was no role of Guanzhong Army in his plan.

This is not because he is afraid of being robbed of credit, but if he has taken advantage of all his advantages, Qi Wannian might not respond head-on, so he will go into the thousands of ditches of Yongqin to find someone. So Sima Ji was actually not happy with Du Jian's arrival, but he came as reinforcements, so he couldn't say anything to reject him, so he could only express his welcome in words.

"Your Highness, why are you unhappy?" Meng Zhanyan couldn't help but ask curiously after he observed his expression, "This is a good thing."

"Although Qi Wannian rebelled, after the Battle of Hao Du, he should understand the gap between his troops and our Jin Dynasty. If we learn that our troops are as high as 70,000, we may not dare to compete with him. They are getting colder and colder every day, and it is a waste of time." Sima Ji sighed, "Just Qi Wannian's troops are not small, and it is not difficult to find. It is not a big advantage or a big disadvantage now."

"That soldiers are very fast, our army should set off immediately." Meng Guan looked at the sky anxiously and said.

"Well, wait a few more days." Sima Ji considered his physical condition and felt that riding a horse was still a bit reluctant. Anyway, it was not bad for these few days. Let's take a rest first, and directly ignore the looting general's sincere desire to serve the country.

The arrival of Du Jian's troops was actually the deep reason for the arrival of Qin King Sima Jian. He was afraid that after he quelled the rebellion, he would take the Luoyang Imperial Guard and stage a fake attack on Guo.

This little move made Sima Ji a little unhappy, but it was not impossible to understand. He could only turn a blind eye as if he didn't see it.

Hao Du's troops collapsed overnight, and the news came as a shock to Qi Wannian. He could not come back for a long time. He knew that the Huns of Hao Du's troops were no different from their own tribes. If the Jin army could not keep the pieces of Hao Du's troops killed in one night, it would not be a problem to deal with him.

How did you defeat this battle like this? How did more than 10,000 cavalry disappear? What happened on the battlefield that day became Qi Wannian’s most concerned thing. If the Luoyang Imperial Army really achieved such results with such a battle, then what else would he fight? It would be more pleasant to directly lead the neck to slaughter.

"It turned out to be an unintentional mistake." Qi Wannian unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as if only one gap led to the defeat.

It is better to be forgiven than to have no reason. Qi Wannian was excited and shouted, "You all heard it. Hao Du's unintentional mistake at that time led to a defeat. The Luoyang Imperial Army was not as invincible as the rumors. We can still fight. For the lives of the tribes, we have no way out. If you still want to live like the same life as the same, women and children are sold, you can now take your family and run to a place that the Great Jin Empire cannot find. If you don't want to do that, we will still fight Sima Jijue to the death."

"In this way, each of us is responsible for cleaning a state. I want Qinzhou and the general can clean Yongzhou. Now we know that Liangshan, which is under Qi Wannian's troops, will be the final convergence point." Sima Ji took the Yongqin map and pointed at it. The plan did not change quickly. My Jin Dynasty already had the advantage of military strength, so the earlier thoughts would have to be changed.

From luring Qi Wannian to fight with himself to encircle and annihilate the rebels, it seems reasonable to divide the troops and stay in this way. The strategic decisive battle has become a joint attack. Sima Ji should have adapted to this kind of battlefield change. Next time he was leading the troops to fight, he was no longer planning to designate how to fight, anyway, there was no use at all.
