Chapter 797: Policies for Treating Aliens
Shamoko was killed by Dian Wei, and the situation on the battlefield changed suddenly.
The Wuxi barbarians, who were originally angry at swallowing mountains and rivers, suddenly wilted.
In fact, war is as simple as that.
When the commander of the army escapes or is killed, a war is almost over. The rest of the matter is undoubtedly a matter of you chasing me and running away. The barbarian army desperately retreated, Lu Meng, Huang Xu, Dianman, Yan Yan and Pang De were all leading the troops to chase and kill, and the five people led the army to cover and kill the barbarian army, and the barbarian soldiers who were still fighting just now screamed and fled quickly.
Along the way, corpses were strewn and blood flowed.
The laughter of the Han army and the screams of the barbarians echoed each other, one after another.
The barbarian soldiers kept falling and being killed, but the running barbarians had no time to care about the slain brothers, so they could only spread their feet and run wildly in the direction of the mountains and forests.
Lu Meng and the other five generals pierced into the barbarian army like five sharp cones, setting off huge waves.
The place where the five soldiers led the soldiers to kill was in shambles.
The slain and wounded brute roared as hard as he could, and the continuous screams also prompted the rest of the brute to rush forward and flee. At this moment, the fierce barbarian still has a little momentum to kill out of the mountains and forests, and he has completely become a stray dog.
On the official road, weapons fell to the ground, but no one took care of them.
The brute was so frightened that he only knew how to flee.
Their hearts were full of worry, fearing that they would be killed by the pursuing Han army. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the mountains and forests, the brute soldiers' hearts were more and more full of expectations, thinking that they could rush into the mountains and forests as soon as possible. As long as they entered the mountains and forests, the barbarians could use the topography of the mountains and forests to evade the Han army. They are at home in the mountains and forests, and they can also launch counterattacks.
Ten zhang! Five! Sanzhang!
β¦β¦
It's getting closer, it's getting closer and closer to the mountains and forests.
When the first brute rushed into the forest, the brute roared as hard as he could, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He paused slightly, then immediately continued to run, disappearing into the forest.
One after another, another barbarian soldier rushed into the mountains and forests.
After the barbarians entered the mountain forest, they shouted loudly and vented, with a relieved expression on their faces. However, when they thought that the barbarian king Shamoko had been killed, their hearts became sad again, and they could only shake their heads and sigh, and return to the camp in the mountains and forests. This battle made the barbarians hurt to the bone.
Lu Meng led the troops to kill outside the mountains and forests, raised his long knife, and shouted violently: "Stop! β
Yan Yan also stopped the soldiers from advancing, stopping the pursuing soldiers.
Several generals know the truth that the forest is not inaccessible, and the barbarians have lived in the mountains and forests for generations, so they are not only familiar with the topography in the mountains and forests, but also know where traps are set in the mountains and forests. Once the soldiers recklessly enter the mountains and forests, the offensive and defensive situation will immediately change, and the army may face a crisis.
LΓΌ Meng, Yan Yan and other generals returned with their soldiers and joined Wang Can, Xu Shu and others. Wang Can gave an order and ordered some of the soldiers to stay and clean up the battlefield, and then return to the camp with the rest of the army.
β¦β¦
After the barbarian army returned to Dazhai in the mountains and forests, they all had bitter faces and were in a sad mood.
However, the rest of the barbarian commanders gathered all the barbarians and prepared to re-elect the barbarian king.
Although some barbarians worshipped Shamoko extremely and shouted loudly to avenge Shamoko, the barbarians who went to fight knew the strength of the Han army and were unwilling to go.
There are too few barbarians willing to take revenge, and this matter will not be over.
In this battle, the barbarians suffered heavy casualties, and more were demoralized, because the barbarians had no backbone. When the barbarians paid tribute to the former barbarian king Shamoke, the new successor barbarian king had already begun to order the barbarian soldiers to arrange traps in the mountains and forests, and turn from attack to defense, wanting to hold Wuling Mountain and avoid being attacked by the Han army.
β¦β¦
Han army camp, Chinese army tent.
Wang Can sat on the main seat, and below sat a group of civil and military officials such as Xu Shu, Dian Wei, and Lu Meng.
Wang Can's gaze swept over everyone, and he said: "Defeating the barbarian army in this battle and killing the barbarian king Shamoke has dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the barbarian army. In a short period of time, the barbarians will definitely not dare to go out of the mountains and forests, and the surrounding barbarians will hide one after another or return to the mountains after knowing that Shamoko was killed. There is no point in me staying here, so I have decided to collect my troops and return to Qiqi County, and I am ready to return to Chengdu. β
As soon as he spoke, there were many civil and military discussions below.
Just the first battle to withdraw the troops, and the barbarians have not been completely defeated, everyone feels a little abrupt.
Xu Shu clenched his fists and said: "Lord, Shamoke was killed, the barbarian army is weak, and it is time to take the opportunity of a big victory to defeat the barbarian soldiers in one fell swoop." Once we withdrew from Wuling Mountain, we gave the barbarians time to recuperate. In this way, this battle is not in vain, and I implore the lord to think twice before acting. β
Wang Can looked at the rest of the people and saw that the rest of the generals all showed expressions of fighting again, obviously not wanting to withdraw their troops.
Wang Can thought for a moment and asked, "Yuan Zhi, even if the army is stationed here, can the barbarians be completely wiped out in a short period of time?" β
Xu Shu shook his head and said, "Barbarians live in the mountains, and it is difficult to destroy them in a short time. β
Although Xu Shu wanted to completely defeat the barbarians, it was almost impossible to completely eliminate the barbarians.
After Xu Shu answered, he still insisted on his opinion, and said: "Lord, if the troubles are not eliminated, there will be a country within a country for Yizhou, and it is recommended that the lord continue to stay, wait for another two or three months, and do his best to eliminate the barbarians, and after the army beats the barbarians to the point that they can't get out of the mountain, it is not too late to return to Chengdu." β
Lu Meng clenched his fists and said, "My lord, the last general agrees with Mr. Xu's suggestion. β
Yan Yan hugged his fists and said, "My lord, the last general also agrees." β
Immediately afterwards, Pound and Huang Xu also nodded in agreement. Only Wang Yue and Dian Wei didn't say a word, waiting for Wang Can to speak, the two were not the generals who led the troops, they just needed to wait for Wang Can's decision.
Wang Can said: "Okay, don't argue about this matter. As for the war against the barbarians, it is impossible to end, and I have no intention of ending it, but it is no longer useful for me to stay in the county. Therefore. I plan to let Yuan Zhi re-serve as the Taishou of Qiqi County, and leave Pang De to assist Xu Shu, and the two of them will use Qiqi County as a base to sweep away the barbarians of Wuling Mountain. β
Xu Shu was overjoyed when he heard this, clenched his fists and said, "Obey orders." β
Pound was also very happy and agreed.
Wang Can smiled and said: "Don't be so happy, let you sweep the barbarians is not to kill all the barbarians, but to capture the barbarians as much as possible." All the barbarians that have been caught, all sent to Chengdu, I will use the barbarians to build roads, and all the counties leading to Chengdu will be built into wide and flat roads, so your task is very heavy and difficult. β
After Xu Shu and Pang De listened, they nodded solemnly.
Yan Yan hugged his fists and said: "Lord, if you want to capture the barbarians, General Pang is a little weak to stay alone, and the last general also asks to stay in Qiqi County to assist Xu Taishou in capturing the barbarians." β
Yan Yan didn't want to follow Wang Can back to Chengdu, so he chose to stay.
Wang Can nodded and said, "Okay, since you want to stay, then stay to assist Yuan Zhi." β
After a pause, Wang Can said again: "In addition to the Han people, whether it is the Wuxi Man, or the Shanyue people, or the Nanban in the south, as long as they can be captured, they can take action." If I want to build a road, I will definitely need countless barbarians, and you can do it freely and boldly. β
Xu Shu frowned slightly, and said, "Lord, is it too cruel to arrest aliens to build roads like this?" β
Wang Can shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I won't let them build roads all the time." Spending all the alien races on road building is just to polish their character, and as long as they have completed a certain share, I will send someone to allocate farmland and land to them, so that they can gradually assimilate the barbarians, only the Han Chinese. β
"Shhh Hiss! β
Xu Shu gasped, with an expression of admiration on his face.
He stood up and arched his hand and said, "The lord is wise, and he admires his duties!" β
Since then, Xu Shu, Pang De and Yan Yan have become the triumvirate who changed color when Wang Can's command ordered the alien races to hear about it, and they are specifically responsible for arresting the aliens.
