In the Battle of Shuozhou, four hundred thousand to five hundred thousand corpses of both the enemy and our side were left on this land.
For a long time, people living here did not dare to go out at night.
Even many years later, many people heard the sounds of fighting on ancient battlefields in some special place and at a special time.
After the battle, Xiahou Yuan returned to Youzhou.
Cao Ren did not receive any new orders, so he continued to defend Shuozhou.
After Yue Fei left him 50,000 soldiers, he took more than 100,000 new army soldiers to Yunzhou.
Li Mu was deeply saddened by the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Shuozhou. He had to learn from the experience and lessons and reorganize his army to prepare for war.
During this period, Yunzhou was able to enjoy a period of stability.
Bai Qi personally welcomed Yue Fei at the city gate.
Two days ago, he received a letter from Huo Guang, and learned that Yue Fei, the commander of the new army, was a person valued by the "Emperor".
In addition, the Battle of Shuozhou was entirely due to the enemy's excellent command, which enabled us to achieve a great victory with the least casualties.
Therefore, he had to pay attention to the other party.
Upon seeing Bai Qi, Yue Fei immediately bowed and said, "Meeting Wu'an Jun. I have heard of Wu'an Jun's name since our dynasty's expedition to Japan."
If the other party treats you with courtesy, you should also treat them with courtesy.
In fact, he did admire Bai Qi from the bottom of his heart.
After all, the fact that he could fight back and forth with the famous Jin general Li Mu is enough to make people admire him deeply.
Bai Qi smiled and said, "We are all brothers. No need to be polite. Let's go into the city and talk."
Yue Fei nodded.
Afterwards, the new army successfully joined forces with the soldiers guarding Youzhou.
With the addition of the 108 heroes of Liangshan Marsh, Bai Qi sometimes spoke in a somewhat chivalrous manner.
After entering the city, he said bluntly in the meeting hall: "I already know everything about the Battle of Shuozhou. I didn't expect that you, who had never been on the battlefield, could command the army with ease."
Upon hearing this, Yue Fei bowed and said, "If it weren't for General Cao Ren's vow to defend the city to the death and implicate Pang Juan's troops, I'm afraid it would have been difficult for me to achieve my goal."
Bai Qi smiled and said, "Don't be so modest. After all, you won this battle and forced Pang Juan to commit suicide. In time, you will become famous throughout the three kingdoms of Qin, Jin, and Chu."
In fact, the Qin army exchanged the lives of three generals, Zhu Ling, Le Jin and Cao Hong, for Pang Juan.
Is it profitable?
Not making any profit, but not losing much either.
Because Pang Juan was superior to the other three in terms of command ability and military management.
Just as Yue Fei was about to say something, Bai Qi's voice came to his ears again, "This general has already submitted a memorial to the court requesting your merit for the complete annihilation of Pang Juan's army. This achievement is enough for you to be granted a title."
Total annihilation?
Hearing this, Yue Fei frowned and said, "General, I haven't completely wiped out the enemy. After all, we still have 20,000 prisoners."
Bai Qi said, "I was just about to tell you this. I intend to bury all 20,000 prisoners alive."
My goodness, 20,000 people were killed just like that?
Yue Fei frowned deeply and said, "General, I think this is not possible.
If we bury all these 20,000 people alive, and then we fight the Jin army again, they will hear about this and will fight to the death with our Qin army. How could they surrender to us again?"
Bai Qi said earnestly, "I, the general, naturally understand what you are talking about. However, the Jin army is so powerful that no one can predict when Yunzhou will no longer be able to hold on.
If they abandoned the city and fled, what would they do with the 20,000 prisoners? Would they take them with them? What if a riot broke out along the way, preventing the army from retreating in time?
Twenty thousand people means twenty thousand mouths to feed. How much food do they need every day? Does General Yue have any idea?"
"But..."
Yue Fei had already issued orders to treat the Jin army prisoners well.
Military orders are as firm as a mountain; how can they be changed overnight? Furthermore, he still felt that killing prisoners would greatly damage the reputation of the Qin Dynasty.
Wu Anjun shook his head and said decisively, "General Yue, there is no need to discuss this matter any further. I have already issued the order. It will not be long before we hear that they have all been buried alive."
Just when Yue Fei entered the city, Bai Qi had already ordered the cooks to mix a large amount of knockout drugs into the prisoners' food.
It will happen within half an hour.
At that time, they will fall into a deep sleep.
Some Qin soldiers have already begun digging a large area of wasteland in the city.
Make sure that pit can hold 20,000 prisoners.
Bai Qi was the supreme commander of Yunzhou, and now that things had come to this, Yue Fei had nothing to say.
He had heard long ago that during the expedition to Japan, Bai Qi had the habit of trapping prisoners.
It would be more accurate to say that he did not like to be a burden when marching and fighting rather than killing prisoners.
Therefore, whenever Bai Qi won a battle, the enemy would either flee in panic or be completely wiped out.
There is absolutely no third possibility.
Because of Bai Qi's proficiency in the art of war, he would always remain invincible unless he faced huge disadvantages and dangers.
Of course, if the disadvantage was too great, Bai Qi would not choose to fight.
For example, in the matter of defending Yunzhou, since the initial strategy was to give up Youyun, Bai Qi was confident in fighting the enemy even when facing disadvantages.
Half a day later.
In the Jin army camp.
Li Mu is calculating the battle of Shuozhou.
From my own point of view, no matter what the outcome, Pang Juan's defeat was inevitable.
But they wouldn't die. With tens of thousands of people, couldn't they even escape?
Finally, he said to Pang Nuan, who had already returned to the camp, "This Yue Fei should not be underestimated. I have deduced many times, and the results are always that Pang Juan will be defeated, but he will definitely escape.
