sixty-seven massacre
,.
Wei Chou was weak in combat power and was upset. The arrogance of the first powerful general of Jin State no longer existed. He had no desire to fight and just wanted to seize the way.
But Zhao Yun was not willing to give up. He wrapped the spear with silver light all over the sky and wrapped Wei Chou tightly in it. He grabbed it and stabbed it out with a shot, hitting Wei Chou's thigh.
A sharp sound of armor-breaking sound rang out. The sharp spear tip pierced into Wei Chou's legs, hurting his bones, and the red blood immediately flowed out. Wei Chou screamed and almost fell off his horse.
"It hurts so much!"
At the critical moment, Wei Chou roared and threw out the axe. He took advantage of Zhao Yun dodging and whipped the horse's buttocks and ran wildly, no longer caring about the soldiers behind him.
As Wei Chou fled in panic, the generals of the Jin army had no fighting spirit and no intention to fight, and they all fought on their own. In a chaos, there were heavy casualties under the attack of the three Yu troops, and countless surrenders were imminent.
The two armies fought until dawn. More than 6,000 people were killed in the Jin army, more than 6,000 were captured, and only more than 5,000 people broke through and escaped. It was a perfect defeat. The mountains and fields were filled with corpses, the earth was stained with blood, and the broken flags fluttered in the wind.
The Guo and Yu coalition forces also paid the price of more than 5,000 casualties, 70% of which were the Guo army. The Yu army had powerful generals such as Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, and Zhang Liao, so the casualties were greatly reduced, but they were lost by about 1,500.
After the war is over, the battlefield must be cleaned up and the bodies must be buried, otherwise plague will occur and catastrophic consequences will be caused.
Zhao Yun, Yan Liang and Zhang Liao led the main force that had fought all night to return to the city to rest, while Liao Hua led three thousand soldiers with weak combat power to continue to confiscate the armor and weapons of the dead outside the city, which was crucial to Fang Li, who lacked army and supplies.
The important task of burying the body was handed over to the prefect of Hanoi County, who led 1,500 county soldiers and tens of thousands of people to dig a huge pit of mass in the wilderness, and threw one body after another with armor stripped out into the pit.
Whether it is the Jin army or the Guo and Yu coalition forces, there is no distinction between them at this moment, and thousands of people are in the same place.
More than 6,000 captured Jin troops were ordered to form a group at the foot of the city wall, all of which squatted down or sat down on the spot, and could not stand up without being summoned, otherwise they would be killed.
Fang Li stood at the top of Hanoi city, looking at the heads huddled under his feet, listening to the whispering of these prisoners, looking at their flickering eyes, feeling worried.
Zhou Yu captured more than 3,000 Jin troops in Louzhai in the previous period, and now he captured more than 6,000 Jin troops. The two sides had nearly 10,000 people in total, while the Yu army itself was only about 20,000. With the still powerful state of Jin, these prisoners would never be at mercy. Sooner or later, they would find them to escape or launch a riot, which is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger.
"How should we deal with these prisoners?"
Fang Lizan wiped the dust from his face, hesitant, and the urge to massacre spread in his heart, but hesitated.
If he really imitated Xiang Yu's approach in the Battle of Julu, would he be regarded as a bloodthirsty thug by the world? But if he is kind and soft-hearted, how can he solve the existing hidden dangers?
If these Jin troops launch a riot one day and cooperate with the powerful Jin army inside and outside, the situation they open will no longer exist, and the State of Yu will be destroyed. At that time, it will be themselves who will die. The people of Jin will definitely cut off their heads without hesitation and hang them on the city wall to show their public.
"The General must be thinking about how to deal with these prisoners?"
Just when Fang Li was in a dilemma, a thick and magnetic inquiry suddenly sounded behind him. He quickly turned his head to look and saw a Confucian scholar who was of medium shape, clear face, neither fat nor thin, and was about twenty-seven or eight years old, holding his fists and saluting him.
"Chen Deng?"
Fang Li almost blurted out and took the words back, "Who are you?"
Chen Deng said with grace: "The villain Chen Deng's name is Yuanlong, and his ancestral home is from Wu. He followed his father to the Central Plains to do business more than ten years ago, so he stayed in Guo State."
Fang Li nodded slightly: "I think my husband is a talented person, and I think he is also a well-educated man. Since you ask me how to deal with these prisoners, I wonder what you think?"
Chen Deng turned sideways slightly and signaled Fang Li to come with him: "There are so many people here, so I can talk a little bit!"
As Li strides up, Chen Deng followed closely behind, and the two walked one after another to a remote corner on the city wall.
"There is no one here. What do you think, please feel free to say!" Fang Li tried to show a kind smile and showed a polite attitude.
Chen Deng glanced around and clasped his fists and said, "General, if a real man wants to make achievements, he must be decisive in killing and killing. One general will die, let alone establish a powerful kingdom. The general has become the number one real power figure in Yu State in just a few months. I think he has great ambitions and is determined to be in the world. These Jin troops cannot stay! Kill them as soon as possible to eliminate hidden dangers?"
Fang Li's eyes turned and he pondered: "I also have this intention, I am afraid I will bear a stigma and bind myself in a cocoon!"
Chen Deng said, "If the general trusts me, Chen Deng, I am willing to do this for the general. I will bear any infamy in the future and it has nothing to do with the general!"
Fang Li was overjoyed. Chen Deng came here at a time. He was simply a timely help and could help him solve this problem perfectly. It was said that when the right person appeared, the right person appeared.
I think only a conscient conspirator like Chen Deng would help him do such a huge risky thing. If it were Zhuge Liang, Xun Yu, and Guo Jiazhi, he would never have been in this muddy water and risked being infatuated for thousands of years to do such things!
"If Chen Yuanlong can help me handle this matter well, it will definitely be of great use!" Fang Li patted Chen Deng's shoulder hard, and his gratitude was beyond words.
Now Fang Li announced the appointment of Chen Deng as the chief of the Dian Army, and was responsible for cleaning up the battlefield with Liao Hua, and was able to freely mobilize troops of less than 2,000 people.
In the evening, Chen Deng summoned five hundred prisoners and asked them to follow him north to cut down wood on Kunyu Mountain and return to build the city.
People are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are responsible for their lives. Not to mention cutting wood, they have to jump in even if they are the ones who are in the sea of swords and fire. They immediately followed Chen Deng and his party to the north. The remaining prisoners were led by Liao Hua to guard two thousand soldiers with full dresses, and no one can act rashly.
The team walked seven or eight miles northward, and Chen Deng ordered a pit to be dug on the spot to store the cut wood. Although the Jin army was full of doubts, they could only wave their hoes obediently to dig the soil and dig the pit. They spent the whole night digging a huge deep pit.
"Okay, jump in!"
With the order of Chen Deng, two thousand Yu troops fired arrows at once, stabbed guns and drove all five hundred prisoners into the pit without leaving any one.
After burying these prisoners, Chen Deng followed suit and sent a deputy to take a thousand people back to Hanoi to log in the name of escorting 500 prisoners to come here and kill them on the ground.
These confused Jin troops followed the Yu army northwards, and were killed and discarded into a big pit. It took Chen Deng a whole day and two nights to kill all the 6,300 Jin prisoners.
Finally, the soil was filled in the pit and buried, and everything was restored to its original state. All that was left was a pile of soil that could not be filled, forming a circle like an ancient city that had been abandoned for many years.
