The scene was full of friction with armor, and a large number of Qin troops began to run into the city. At Xiao Yuan's instructions, they took over Xiangyang in full.

As for the prisoners, they were all concentrated in the previous Chu army camp, confiscated the weapons and temporarily held them in custody.

Riding on the streets is full of famine.

I don’t know how many people are lying in every corner, with pale faces and thin skin and ragged clothes.

When they arrived at Xiangyang Prefecture, the place had been deployed by the Qin army. There were many soldiers at the door. Lin Chu walked over quickly, clasped his fists and bent down and said, "King, Hanzhou has committed suicide."

"Yeah." Xiao Yuan dismounted and took the generals into the mansion without any surprises.

Next, there is no doubt that it is to deal with the post-war affairs in Xiangyang.

Regarding the matter of more than 100,000 prisoners of the Chu army, Su Yi took the lead and said: "I think that for these more than 100,000 Chu soldiers, you can dig a hole outside the city or behead the riverside, and kill them at once."

"What did you say!" Before Xiao Yuan could answer, Wang Su had already widened his eyes and said incredibly: "That's more than 100,000 young men! Living lives!"

"But that's also the enemy!" Su Yi said coldly: "Our army's food and grass are hard-won. If we keep them, we will not only consume money and food, but also send people to guard them. If we let them go, they will be extremely likely after they go back.

Maybe it is the Central Army of Chu again! Only by beheading all of them can we eliminate future troubles forever!"

"But they have surrendered!"

"If you want to destroy Chu, you must annihilate all their military forces! Lord Wang is too kind to worry about the life and death of the enemy soldiers."

"you!"

The two of them had their own opinions. At the end, Wang Su was choked and turned to Xiao Yuan, saying seriously: "King, I will never agree with General Su Yi's suggestion to kill prisoners!"

"If I do not kill prisoners in the Central Plains, I will be criticized if I do this, and who will dare to surrender again in the future!"

"Whether they are soldiers of the Chu State or soldiers of the Qin army, they are all children of the people. At this moment, their wives, led the children, must have stood in front of the dilapidated wooden door, looking at the entrance of the village, hoping for their husbands.

Returning, I am looking through the autumn water, the king..."

This passage was spoken to Xiao Yuan's heart.

Yes, this can be said to be a national civil war, but this civil war must be pacified by someone, otherwise it will only become more and more chaotic and the people will suffer more and more.

He took a deep breath and said, "It is not advisable to kill prisoners. I will immigrate to guard the border, so that all the Chu army will be returned to the fields and sent them to the people. As for the Chu army generals, they will be taken back to the capital and left to deal with it."

After the Chu soldiers were dismissed to Beiling or Liangdi, and after the Jiangnan area was recovered, they would be safe and would definitely take their wives and children over, making the population in various places prosperous. This is undoubtedly the best solution.

When Wang Su heard this, he immediately showed joy and quickly bowed: "The king is wise and wise——"

Then, Jia You stood up and bowed and said, "I strongly agree with the strategy of immigrating the king. However, the hungry people in Xiangyang City should be resolved as soon as possible."

"Weichen suggested taking out some military rations and giving them to the people, and then opening up traffic in Xiangyang to strive to restore the material trade in this city as soon as possible."

Although Xiangyang is surrounded, its wealth is still there, and the people have more or less money in their homes, but they just can't buy food if they have money before.

As soon as the traffic was opened, grain traders entered, traded business, and farmed fields returned. With the prosperity of this city in the past, the situation was conceivable.

However, Su Yi sneered: "This is a war! How can we use the army's food and grass to help the people!?"

As he spoke, he also said to Xiao Yuan seriously: "King, in my opinion, Lord Jia's words are extremely absurd."

"The general's words are wrong." Jia You said: "Today's Xiangyang is already the Xiangyang of Qin, and the people are the foundation of the country."

As he said that, he also faced Xiao Yuan: "King, you are the King of Qin. The heart of the king should be in the world."

What the strategist says is politics.

With absolute force, everything can be suppressed, but if you blindly resort to it, you will definitely be destruction.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yuan said decisively: "You are responsible for what Mr. Jia said, and you will post a notice of peace as soon as possible."

"I accept the order." Jia You hurriedly saluted.

"King, this." Su Yi was a little anxious.

Xiao Yuan raised his hand: "No need to discuss this matter."

"Yes." Su Yi lowered his body.

A monarch must have long-term vision.

After solving these two problems, Xiao Yuan immediately ordered Qin general Ning to fight, lead 80,000 troops to support Xuandi battlefield.

In terms of the moat, he also adopted Jia You's suggestion, re-did and strengthened the world's number one city, and eliminated the possibility that the upper stream could be easily blocked in the future, and repaired all the bridges that had been destroyed in Hanzhou before.

This place is still dealing with the post-war affairs, and a few days later, the news also reached Chu State.

After listening to the report, the King of Chu stood up and widened his eyes and said, "What!? Xiangyang, has it been lost?"

"This, yes, Xiangyang has been out of food for several months, I really can't hold on. The Hanzhou General died and our soldiers... all surrendered..."

After confirming again, the King of Chu's face suddenly pale, and he fell back to the royal chair in a daze, "It's over, it's over..."

The defenders in Xiangyang can be said to have all the troops in Chu. They were besieged for July and were captured. Now, except for the imperial guards in the country, there are no adjustable troops in the country.

In panic, he could only put all his last hope on Wu State, and his voice trembled: "Wu Army! Wu Army must defend the Yangtze River, otherwise the entire Jiangnan will be in danger-"

Yes, as long as the Wu army withstood the Battle of Crossing the River, with the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, the State of Chu will be able to make a full play in three to five years!

The reason why the countries in the world have been in war for more than a hundred years is often because of this situation. They have not conquered to the end. The defeated countries rely on their separatist territory to recruit men and train their troops. After a few years, they can participate in the war.

, after fighting like this, the people have suffered for a long time.

At the same time, Lingguo.

When the two countries are at war, intelligence is crucial. The main force of the Qin army should be mobilized, so the Ling King must know as soon as possible.

After learning that Xiangyang had been lost, the ministers of Ling Kingdom had a fierce discussion in the court. Finally, Ling King adopted the advice of the old prime minister, believing that the King of Qin had increased his troops to Hengyang. If he continued to fight, he would definitely fall into a hard battle.

It is difficult to take further.

After he thought for a while, he immediately said, "I'll order Huang Zu to consolidate the existing four counties, station troops outside Hengyang, and restrain the Qin army in Xuan. There is no need to do anything to attack."

In this war, Ling Kingdom has gained the greatest benefit and took the opportunity to plunder the four counties. Now, the Ling King can be said to be satisfied and will not fight hard again, but he will not retreat.

To put it bluntly, after obtaining the land, he still had to restrain some Qin troops. What he wanted to see most was that Xiao Yuan would defeat the Yangtze River next.
