After a while, Gao Yuan was a little tired of waiting, and was about to speak, when Zhao Jia yelled and said, "Fight with them." As he spoke, he drew his sword, rushed out of the crowd, and slashed towards the plateau, while the other clans and soldiers saw it, and they all drew their swords, raised their spears, and pounced on Zhao Jun.

Gao Yuan was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that this group of people would still have some blood, and would rather die in a vigorous battle than steal his life. In fact, the folk customs of Zhao State are very similar to those of Qin State, with a strong and martial personality, brave and belligerent, and if you don't agree with each other, you can draw your sword against each other. Therefore, in the last fifty years of the Warring States period, the armies of Qin and Zhao were also recognized as the strongest in the world.

However, the difference between the two countries is that after the Shang Dynasty reformed the law, the Qin State formulated strict legal rules among the Qin people, and also transformed the people's brave and belligerent atmosphere into the Qin army's brave and tenacious style of fighting, thus entering a benign track.

And Zhao has always lacked a comprehensive change like a Shang Dynasty change, and the reform of Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu cavalry is only limited to the military aspect, so although the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army is strong, not inferior to the Qin State, but the people are still fighting privately, and the court is also affected by the atmosphere of private fighting, there are many chaotic political killings, after Zhao Guoguo, the first seven generations of monarchs almost have civil strife from generation to generation, the most typical one is that a generation of male lord Zhao Wuling King is because of the rebellion of the minister, was imprisoned in the Dune Palace for more than three months, starved to death. And the national strength of Zhao State was also continuously consumed in this kind of civil strife, until the three generations of King Zhao Huiwen, King Zhao Xiaowen, and King Zhao Mourning Xiang, this kind of chaos and killing did not happen, and these three generations also happened to be the era when Zhao State's national strength was the strongest. Although he experienced a crushing defeat in the Battle of Changping, he was still able to recover.

In fact, before the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the situation of the Qin State was similar to that of the Zhao State, with private fights among the people, chaos in the government, and before the Qin Xiangong, three generations of monarchs died in civil strife struggles. In the nearly 100 years after the Shang Dynasty reform, only when King Qin Zhao succeeded to the throne, there were some battles, and there was a rebellion when King Qin was in power, and there was no other civil strife, and Qin was able to maintain its prosperity and strength, which was also an important factor. Therefore, it can also be seen that the importance of the rule of law and order to a country.

However, because of this, most of the Zhao monarchs and ministers are all strong-tempered, and most of the members of this group of clans who fled to Daijun with Zhao Jia did not surrender to Qin, and of course they would not surrender to the plateau.

Although the plateau admires the blood of this group of people, it does not mean that the plateau will let them go, at this time can not talk about the kindness of women, even if the plateau spares their lives, they will not appreciate it, on the contrary, once they have time, they will also make trouble for the plateau. Therefore, after Gao Yuan dodged Zhao Jia's two swords in a row, he suddenly slashed Zhao Jia's throat with a knife.

Zhao Jia glared, "Hehe" screamed twice, and finally fell to the ground on his back, dying of anger.

And Gao Yuan immediately swung his knife and slashed at the others, the knife flashed, and in a blink of an eye, he beheaded several Zhao clans, plus Li Yinghong and other soldiers fought bravely, and after a while, these more than 20 Zhao clans, as well as soldiers, were all killed, and none of them surrendered and begged for mercy.

However, the complete occupation of Taishoufu also symbolizes that Daijun has officially changed hands. Gao Yuan immediately ordered to strictly guard the Taishou Mansion, began to cleanse the corpses, and inquired about the results of the battle in other places. At the same time, he also sent troops to the Taishou Mansion to check Zhao Jia's servants and family members. As a result, in Zhao Jia's bedroom, Zhao Jia's six wives and concubines, as well as his two sons and two daughters, all died by suicide, among which Zhao Jia's youngest daughter was only six or seven years old.

Gao Yuan also looked quite sideways, but in this era, this is also a very normal thing, according to the usual habit, Zhao Jia was defeated, and his wife and concubines had only two ways, one was killed by the rebels, and the other was reduced to slavery, allowing others to humiliate, so life is better than death, it is better to hang himself.

Looking at the hanging corpses in the room, Gao Yuan ordered the soldiers to remove these corpses and bury them, then sighed softly and said: "In troubled times, women and children are always the most pitiful people, and only their lives are the most insecure. ”

At this time, Li Yinghong was also a little sympathetic, and said: "Even if Zhao Jia is not good, but they are all innocent, is it wrong for us to capture Daijun?" ”

Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "No, we are not wrong, in our big camp, how many old and weak women and children, if we don't capture Daijun, they will be the ones who die, and if you want to blame, you can only blame Zhao Jia, who has no ability to protect their relatives." Therefore, we must not repeat the reversal of Zhao Jia, not only to have the ability to protect our own relatives, but also to be able to protect the people under our rule. ”

Li Yinghong listened, also thoughtfully, nodded, and said: "You are right, we must protect our relatives, and we must not let Zhao Jia's retreat be repeated." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Let's go, let's go to the front, we still have a lot of things to do." ”

At this time, the main hall had been cleaned out, and Zhao Jia's servants, maids, and several concubines who did not want to hang themselves were also escorted out, and the plaintiffs were able to ensure their safety as long as they were honest and obedient to the management, and promised that when order in the city was restored, they would be released, and a way out would be arranged, and then they would be divided into two groups, men and women, and imprisoned separately.

After a while, the armies from all walks of life also returned, Zhao Xuan captured the treasury of Daijun, the food and materials were all safe and sound, and had been sealed, and Yuan Xuan, Chen Zhi and his companions in the city attacked the north and south gates, and the defenders all surrendered, only Zhao Cong led more than 10,000 people and escaped from the east gate. However, Gao Yuan had already arranged for Sima Shang to lead 12,000 cavalry and 300 chariots outside the east gate, so Zhao Cong could not escape.

At this time, the army of the plateau had also finished occupying the county town, and the most important food and materials were safe and sound, and the plateau was also greatly relieved, and immediately ordered to start cleaning up the battlefield in the city, restore order in the city as much as possible, and treat the sporadic resistance of the enemy, mainly by recruiting and surrendering, and then sheltering the prisoners and rescuing the wounded, whether it was his own soldiers or the wounded soldiers of the other side. At the same time, the main generals were recruited and gathered at the Taishou Mansion. In addition, I also brought Yun Yao.

After a short time, except for Sima Shang, the other generals came to the Taishou Mansion to gather, and Gao Yuan immediately assigned the generals, asking Yuan Xuan to lead 15,000 troops out of the city and back to the camp to guard, because in the past two or three days, the families in the camp could not enter the city to live, and there were only more than 10,000 troops left in the camp, so more troops should be sent to stay behind.

And the security and order in the city, as well as the custody of prisoners, were handed over to Chen Shi to pay for his responsibilities. On the one hand, order was restored, and on the other hand, as many houses were arranged as much as possible, after all, there were nearly 100,000 family members outside the city. A large number of houses are needed.

However, Daijun is not a big city, there are only more than 20,000 households in the city, about 150,000 people, and more than 100,000 family members live in it at once, of course, it is impossible to live in it completely, but it is too late to build a house immediately, and it is still necessary to build a large number of tents to live, and this also needs to arrange a large area, and do a good job of organization. And this matter is in charge of Ji Sun Fenglai, because he has been stationed in Daijun for a long time and knows more about Daijun's affairs.

At the same time, Gao Yuan ordered people to go back to the camp, so that Ning Qi, Geng Zhong, Yan Zhong, Han Sheng, Guo Chen, Yao Shaosi and others, as well as Geng Yanyu and Lin Wenchun's mother and son will enter the city first tomorrow to settle down. After all, the city is full of military generals now, and administrative affairs are not their specialty.

At dusk, Sima Shang also returned from outside the city, and of course won a complete victory.

It turned out that Zhao Cong saw that the situation was urgent, and the city was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to wait for the two children, so he led more than 10,000 remnants of the army, opened the east gate, and escaped from the city. But just after running only five or six miles, he was intercepted by 12,000 cavalry and 300 chariots led by Sima Shang.

At this time, Zhao Cong's men and horses were already panicked, and the army had no fighting spirit, and the whole army only had about a dozen chariots and more than 100 cavalry, which was Sima Shang's opponent. And Zhao Cong also took several chariots and dozens of cavalry escorts and fled from the battlefield.

But all the cavalry that Sima Shang brought out were cavalry, and the number was more than Zhao Cong, so even if he wanted to, he couldn't escape. However, Sima Shang finally remembered Gao Yuan's order, tried his best to kill and poke, and tried to surrender as much as he could. , But there is one person Sima Shangke who will not let go, that is, Zhao Cong.

Although the main culprit who forced Li Mu to leave Handan was Guo Kai, Zhao Cong was also one of the accomplices, so Sima Shang had long been blind to Zhao Cong, and this was a great opportunity. So Sima Shang had already kept an eye on Zhao Cong, and when he saw that Zhao Cong was about to run, he immediately led more than a dozen chariots and more than 200 cavalry to chase after him.

The two sides went through a chase, but Sima Shang brought a new cavalry, and he also accounted for a lot of convenience in the chase battle, so he finally caught up with Zhao Cong, but Zhao Cong fought to the death on the chariot, and was shot to death by the cavalry with a burst of arrows. And the soldiers under Zhao Cong couldn't beat it, and they ran away, and they all surrendered one after another.

In fact, the whole battle ended in less than an hour, and more than 10,000 soldiers taken away by Zhao Cong surrendered more than 9,000 people. Then Sima Shangcai led the captives back to the city of Daijun.

After receiving Sima Shang's good news, Gao Yuan finally completely relieved himself, and after Zhao Cong was destroyed, he had completely controlled Daijun, and finally had a place to live.
