Li Le, who reorganized his mood, followed Han Xian to the big tent to discuss the matter, and first a leader reported the results of today's battle, destroying more than 8,000 enemies, and losing less than 1,000. Hearing such a number, Han Xian instantly understood, and motioned him not to say it yet: "You only counted the war dead in this statistics, right?" ”

"Yes, lieutenant."

"How many are you dead from serious injuries?"

"There were less than three thousand."

Han Xian nodded, it can be said that this casualty ratio is not much different from what he thought in his heart, or even less, but the number of dead of the defeated Han army is somewhat different, in his opinion, there are more than 20,000 and nearly 30,000 Han soldiers killed and wounded, how can it be tens of thousands, but the number reported is only 8,000, Han Xian thought for a while, and asked: "What about the capture and capture?" ”

Captured 5,000 people, seized 10,000 stones, and the rest such as military horses and equipment are countless, hearing such an answer, Han Xian smiled and said: "That's right, but these weapons can still be distributed to some soldiers who have no weapons or use rudimentary equipment, but how to deal with these prisoners?" ”

"Deputy Marshal, it is best to collect these captives for your own use and send them as a vanguard army to attack Pingyang City." This is Li Le's construction, wouldn't it be nice to let their Han army eat the dog by themselves? However, many leaders did not agree with his construction, saying that after all, they were all Han troops, and they might not really surrender, even if they surrendered, it was to save their lives, and it was simply wishful thinking to expect them to fight Pingyang City, according to me, they should be escorted to Pingyang City in front of the Han army and kill all of them, killing chickens to show monkeys, so that not only can they avenge their dead brothers. It can also deter the defenders of Pingyang, killing multiple birds with one stone. ”

"Do you think this will deter the defenders of Pingyang?" The leader, Qian Jun, stood up. "I don't know if you agree with Commander Meng's statement, but I think that killing prisoners can really deter the defenders of Pingyang." Then we people will not still sit here and talk, everyone think carefully about the choice we made after hearing that Huangfu Song killed the prisoners, if it wasn't for him killing the prisoners, we wouldn't have the firm belief that we would fight to the death with the Han army and finally fight out of the encirclement, right? If they also want to surrender, but at this time we kill the prisoners in front of them, do you think this will strengthen their determination to hold on to Pingyang, or can deter them from giving up defending Pingyang? ”

Qian Jun, who was chubby with a pair of sword eyebrows, snorted and continued: "The former, it must be the former. Killing prisoners will only strengthen the determination of the Pingyang defenders to defend Pingyang, so that the relatives and enemies are happy, the deputy marshal must not do it, Qian Jun said bitterly: On the contrary, I very much agree with what Deputy Marshal Li said, although we fought very hard with the Hexi reinforcements today, but our losses are not big from the final result, but everyone puts it at the level of the whole plan, our losses today have become very large, and we need to recruit troops next. But that was after Pingyang City was conquered, but at that time, Pingyang City really raised nearly 10,000 young and strong men? ”

Han Xian looked at Qian Jun, who became more and more excited, smiled and motioned for him to sit down, and then looked around at everyone. said: "Commander Qian did not target Commander Meng, what he said was not wrong on the matter, I think everyone has seen it." At present, how many real defenders are there in Pingyang City, and how many young and strong people are there. There are 30,000 or 40,000 people at the east gate, west gate and south gate, almost the entire Pingyang City. No, it is the entire Pingyang County that hides in Pingyang City's young men who are involved in defending the city, if we want to take Pingyang City, we must first annihilate them, these people, at that time, there are only women, children and old people left in Pingyang City, do we have to recruit them like the Yellow Turban Army back then? The good and the bad are mixed, not to mention a war, even the march is enough! ”

"But deputy marshal, there are 5,000 of these captives, let them attack the city for us, we have to give them weapons, but once they have weapons, it will become an unstable factor, and they may not really help us, when the time comes, we will suffer."

"I understand everyone's concerns." Li Le stood up and patiently explained to everyone, saying: "Actually, what the deputy marshal means is that even if we really want to attack the city, we must disperse them in the siege team in advance, and as for them to dress them in our clothes and a big shield at most, and then send them to the lead to die, do you have any concerns now?" ”

"It's doable, it's totally doable." Several leaders were happy to let these Han soldiers be sent to death as cannon fodder, and they all agreed, this is far more cost-effective than killing prisoners or letting them kill prisoners, and they couldn't wait to ask for orders, saying: "Deputy marshal, how to fight tomorrow?" ”

"Tomorrow? Tomorrow the city will be attacked in full force. Before Han Xian's words fell, the scout brought a piece of news, waved the scout away with a cruel smile, looked at everyone and said, "It seems that we are going to change our plans." ”

"Vice Marshal, what's wrong?"

"The scout just found out the news, although the reinforcements from Liaoxi have been defeated, but the county guards have gathered the defeated army and are coming to us again."

Li Le said with a smile: "It seems that today's battle did not kill them, this is to send them to death again." ”

Han Xian rubbed his head and said with a headache: "It's true that the Han army was defeated today, but they dare to come again, at least on the surface, it shows that they have a way to deal with it, otherwise they won't come to die again, right?" ”

"Although what the deputy marshal said is good, but in terms of the combat effectiveness of the Han army, even if there are any conspiracies, isn't it looking for death, we can kill them today and lose their armor, and tomorrow they will still be able to kill them." The leader Qian Jun said with a cruel smile.

"I'm really worried about seeing you like this now, I've always been arrogant and defeated, how can I not worry about your appearance." Han Xian sighed: "Let's just say that today's battle, although we won, but you have to see that we are staggering today with 40,000 against the Han army of 20,000, and there is no chance of winning, if it weren't for Li Le's boldness, today's defeat may be our Baibo army, so you must be careful tomorrow, be very careful, and even I will make the decision to avoid the war!" Han Xian said that in the end, the big tent had already become a dead silence, everyone was dumbfounded, they couldn't believe their ears, and they avoided the war, and the object of the war was still the Liaoxi reinforcements who had been defeated, and the deputy marshal was too ......

When everyone thought of the word cautious, the grumpy leader Zhao Python jumped up and shouted: "Deputy marshal, you are too ambitious to destroy your own prestige, when the Han army comes, the last general is willing to raise an elite army and annihilate it!" ”

Qian Jun also stood up suddenly, blushed and asked for an order, and said: "Commander Zhao is right, what is the fear of the defeated army, the deputy marshal is too ambitious to raise others, and the last general is also willing to raise an elite army to fight to the death with the Han army!" ”

"Yes, Dashuai, it's good that they didn't come, since they came, they just wanted to avenge the brothers who died in today's war!" There was a lot of noise in the room, but Han Xian, who had been frowning, glanced meaningfully at Li Le on the side, and only the two of them understood the meaning. (To be continued......)
