After Lu Yang entered the war zone under the protection of Zhang Fu and thirty guards, the scene he saw along the way was very complicated.

This time, the area where the Yan army fought with the imperial army was too wide. Both sides of the Baigou River belonged to the war zone. Traces left after the war could be seen everywhere, and many villages were also destroyed by the war.

If it was just after the battle, you could see the auxiliary soldiers of the Yan army and the surrounding villagers cleaning up the battlefield together.

It was a normal situation for the people to come to clean up the battlefield after the war. It was a very big lesson given in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which made people understand what to do after generations.

Before the chaos in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there would be no exact figure of the total population, about 55 million; then years of war broke out, until the world had less than 8 million people left in three stages; do you think that the more than 40 million people who disappeared died under war? No. It is not wrong. They died indirectly in war, part of them starved to death, and more actually died under the rampant plague.

Why did the plague come? After the war, no one went to clean up the battlefield, allowing the corpses to be eaten by wild animals, or allowed to rot and then be eaten. A large number of corpses have too many germs, and then plague is produced through some evolution, and the germ carriers are carried around, which will spread the plague.

Therefore, after the war, the victors did not clean the battlefield, and the living people around them would greet each other and go to the battlefield to clean up. They would clean up the battlefield, not just out of kindness to bury the dead, but more often they did not want to expose the bodies to the wilderness, and thus the plague broke out and made themselves victims.

"The enemy was defeated, and more than 100,000 retreated to Bazhou, and the rest were scattered." Zhang Yu and Lu Yang were quite familiar with each other, and because their son was Lu Yang's guard, the relationship between them was very harmonious.

Lu Yang had been chasing Zhu Di's main force. He was generally in danger when he came to Xiong County and met Zhang Yu's troops.

The two armies fought for less than a month, and the imperial army was defeated again.

At this stage, the Yan army's horse army pursued the defeated large forces of the imperial court, and both sides extended the front line to an area called Maoer Bay, while the rest of the Yan army were capturing the defeated soldiers of the imperial court all over the mountains.

Zhang Yu was escorting about 80,000 surrendered soldiers, and more or less surrendered soldiers from other places could not be counted for the time being.

In a bold direction, the number of people who surrendered voluntarily or became prisoners in this battle would not be less than 300,000.

The reason why Zhang Yu had the largest number of surrendered troops was that Xiongxian was the only way for the imperial court to retreat.

Zhang Yu said: "If you didn't transfer food and fodder in time, killing prisoners would be imperative."

This is a civil war, and he actually killed prisoners?

How strange it is that many civil wars in Zhuxia are far more cruel than foreign wars. It is normal to kill prisoners on a large scale in the absence of food and fodder. It is very restrained if you don’t take the initiative and deliberately massacre the people.

In the past few times, although the imperial army was defeated repeatedly, he contributed more than 240,000 prisoners of war to the Yan army, most of which were actually placed in Peiping Prefecture, and a small number were incorporated, and the killing of prisoners did not happen.

In this battle in Baigouhe, the 500,000 imperial army collapsed as soon as it was said to collapse. Only about 100,000 defeated soldiers fled to Bazhou under the leadership of Li Jinglong, which meant that more than 400,000 were thrown on the vast battlefield.

Lu Yang is the person in charge of logistics mobilization. He can roughly calculate how many people each reported from the food and fodder demand reported by various places. He smiled bitterly: "If the enemy's baggage is not captured, killing prisoners will inevitably be killed."

The imperial army was defeated too quickly, and many military supplies transported were not consumed much. Some of them were burned down, and more were in the hands of the Yan army. If Zhu Di's own logistics simply supported it, he would really not be able to support so many mouths, including the Yan army and the surrendered soldiers.

Despite the seized materials, in fact, the surrendered troops need to be dealt with as soon as possible in the future. It is impossible to keep them in vain for a long time, otherwise the logistics supply of the Yan army would be insured by half a year.

The Yan army won, and it was a big victory. Such victory was absolutely rare in the history of Xia. Even based on the history of wars in various regions around the world, it could be ranked in the top five before the fifteenth century.

He won, but there were many troubles after the war. When Lu Yang saw Zhu Di again, he could see from Zhu Di's face that he was happy and worried.

"These surrendered soldiers cannot be killed or released." Zhu Di set the next tone first.

Because Zhu Yunwen's various unreliable things, there have been enough people who have suffered disaster.

Zhu Di already had the awareness of replacing it. How could he massacre prisoners and cause hatred for his future people?

If all prisoners of war are killed, how many families in the world will lose their relatives? Most of the soldiers from the court come from the south, and some of them come from the northwest. If Zhu Di really wants to kill them all, how can he rule the south and the northwest in the future?

Lu Yang asked: "Your Highness means..."

"I decided to recruit 100,000 yuan to be used for combat power, and the rest of the farming farms were stationed on the spot." Zhu Di said.

Since Zhu Di had made a decision, Lu Yang would just ask if he could trust the incorporation, and whether the soldiers from the south would turn against each other on the battlefield.

Zhu Di said: "After this battle, Jianwen's situation has come to an end. I have ordered people to go to Yingtian again and ask Jianwen to be imprisoned by more than 20 people including Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Zeng Fengshao, Zhuo Jing."

Before, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng had been removed from their official positions, but they were still Zhu Yunwen's caring friends, and were able to enter and exit the palace freely, and they had many conspiring and secret discussions.

Zhu Di also said: "I follow the teachings of ancestors, and these people are treacherous. There is something difficult to do, if Jianwen is as I ask..."

There is really this ancestral teaching!

Zhu Yuanzhang left many ancestral teachings, including one of which was given to the vassal kings: "If there are no righteous ministers in the court, there will be treasons inside, and they will raise troops to punish them to clear the king's side."

So, Zhu Di rebelled, and the rebellion was reasonable and well-founded. He claimed that the background of the Jingnan Dynasty was Zhu Yunwen who persecuted the vassal kings, and shouted that he wanted to clear the monarch, which was targeting Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others.

Zhang Yu said: "Your Highness, our army should immediately send troops to Bazhou, attack its remaining troops, and drive straight to Hejian, so as to strive to meet with the second prince as soon as possible, and join forces to attack Yingtian!"

This was a thrill.

The Yan army has never been defeated since its uprising. It goes without saying that the morale is high, and the generals seem to have no regard for the resistance of the center at all.

As a side division, Zhu Gaoxu's troops had already taken over the capital of Jinan a month and a half ago. The current state is to divide troops to capture other states and counties.

In this case, Li Jinglong's remnants are actually facing a situation of double-teaming on both sides. It is impossible to withdraw the army to the south. I just don't know if Li Jinglong will bring a few people to disguise themselves and escape to respond to the sky?

Zhu Di needed to understand the relevant issues of baggage, so his vision fell on Lu Yang.

How familiar this scene is!
