Zhang Qi was captured by Qin Musheng, the large camp of the Chinese army, the two small camps in the south and the north, and the 1,000 reinforcements in the south of Mo Qingniu were all scattered, and countless routs in the night were scattered everywhere, shouting, horses' hooves, and killing sounds could be heard for more than ten miles;

The remaining three thousand rebels in the east and west were infected by the panic caused by this great rout, and they didn't need to bother Qin Mu at all, and soon fled with the rout, once this kind of rout was formed, it was difficult for the gods to reverse the situation.

When the day dawned, Qin Mu's 2,000 men and horses were still chasing and killing;

Before Qin Mu launched the night attack last night, the rebels had been harassed by Su Jin for most of the night, and they were already exhausted, and they were bitten by Qin Mu's 2,000 men and horses, and many people couldn't run anymore, so they simply lay on the ground, holding their heads with their hands and begging for mercy.

As far as the eye can see, the mountains are full of rebels who surrender on their knees, and the frightened rebels can no longer have any idea of resisting, and two or three Ganzhou soldiers can drive hundreds of rebels together, like driving sheep.

Qin Mu was stationed on a small hillside, he was not observing the battlefield, he didn't have that idle time, because Sima An was spitting in his face vigorously.

"My lord, as a handsome person, usually only needs to be encumbered and powerful, with clear rewards and punishments, and when going into battle, the emphasis is on strategy, and the ability to judge the situation and adapt to changes, and personal bravery is only secondary."

"The handsome talents of the ancients, most of them do not rely on personal bravery, Qin Zhibai Qi, Han Xin of the Han Dynasty, Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty, and Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan in this dynasty, are not known for their personal bravery."

"Your Excellency is the commander of the three armies, and when the rebels have been defeated, you are actually risking your life, this is not heroic, it is stupid, your Excellency knows, if you make a mistake, what will be the consequences?"

"My lord, I humbly say so much. Did you listen to them all? ”

"Mr. Sima, I'm not fine, don't you worry, the so-called Jiren has his own natural appearance"

"Jiren has his own heavenly appearance? My lord, if you don't prevaricate with these nonsense, won't your adults be disobedient to the evil of the heavens, and you can't live if you do evil for yourself? If adults don't even cherish their own lives, how can they expect God to favor them. Sima An can already be described as angry, and his saliva is even more furious, "I hope that this is zuihou once, and in the future, the army will go to war." Adults must stay away from the battle formation, just command in the center, and charge into the battle with General Meng and General Liu. ”

Su Jin, Zhu Yijin, Li Shi and others also echoed in unison, and launched a siege on Qin Mu together, Qin Mu was invincible with both fists, so he had to say in a loud voice: "Okay, this official promises, next time you must be cautious, you must be cautious." Unnecessary risks will never be taken again, this will always work, Zhu Yijin, you go and take a look. How many rebels have been captured this time, and hurry up to count the captured military funds, go quickly. ”

As a result of the pursuit all the way, the battlefield was stretched for more than 20 miles. It took most of the day to clean up the battlefield alone, and it took only a long time to clean it up.

This time, more than 1,200 enemies were annihilated. More than 3,300 rebels, including the commander-in-chief Zhang Qi, were captured, and 226 war horses, more than 800 pack horses, and a large number of weapons, grain, and grass were captured yesterday, including Su Jin.

Qin Mu dispatched a total of 2,150 men and horses this time, and suffered 121 casualties. For this casualty figure, although Qin Mu was heartbroken, he could still accept it.

After all, there are always people killed in wars, it's just a matter of how many, and if you want none to be injured, you can't hurt anyone unless you use a "tomahawk" to carry out saturation bombing hundreds of miles apart, like Lao Mei.

It was time for dinner, Zhang Zai's camp only burned some tents, the walls were still there, Qin Mu directly occupied this camp, although the smell of blood has not completely dissipated, but the camp is full of laughter after the victory, as the smoke rises in the evening, the smell of meat wafts from the Huotou army, and the atmosphere is even more enthusiastic.

After a great victory and a large number of captures, Qin Mu naturally wanted to comfort the soldiers, ordered to cook cattle and slaughter sheep, and sacrificed the three armies.

The soldiers waiting for the meal to be served either hooked shoulders or groups of three soldiers, gathered together and chatted happily about the killing of the enemy last night.

Especially the twenty or thirty cavalrymen who followed Qin Mu to kill last night became rare animals, surrounded by the soldiers in three layers and three layers outside, listening to them tell the process of Qin Mu capturing the rebel commander Zhang Qi last night.

The soldiers didn't think as much as Sima An, I heard that Qin Mu was not afraid of death, and hit the war horse with a war horse, and after Zhang Qi was captured, they cheered loudly;

Soldiers are often more likely to identify with the heroic generals, not to mention that a few months ago Qin Mu was still a weak civil official, and he was trained with them, and this time he captured the enemy's main general, so that the soldiers' personality cult of Qin Mu reached the point where others could not reach it, and this was exactly the effect that Qin Mu did not hesitate to take risks to achieve.

Qin Mu and a group of generals under his command did not have time to enjoy the comfort after this great victory, except for Su Jin, who was busy reorganizing the three thousand prisoners, all the important generals were recruited by Qin Mu to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Qin Mu sat behind a long table, carefully wiping his giant sword with a piece of white silk, as if he was a little careless: "Call you all here, I guess you have also guessed the reason, let's say, what should be the next step, press Jihua to continue to attack Wanzai, or go back to Yuanzhou to play the next big one, everyone have any ideas." ”

Huo Sheng preemptively said: "My lord, what else is there to discuss, naturally it is to return to Yuanzhou, the rebel commander Zhang Qidu has become our prisoner, seven thousand rebels are either annihilated or captured, at this moment, the rebels in Yuanzhou City must be rumored and panicked, I wonder if our army will open the door and surrender in fear as soon as our army opens to Yuanzhou City." Zhang Qi's 20,000 rebels came all the way east from Changsha, burning and looting everywhere they passed, Yuanzhou City is their current nest, and I don't know how many good things they have looted in it, hehe, my lord, let's take Yuanzhou City before Lu Daqi comes, it is estimated that it can withstand you as a salt seller for a year or two. ”

Qin Mu was choked enough, Lao Tzu raised you for you to eat and wear, but you regarded him as a smuggler of salt, how can this be true?

"Is that what everyone thinks?" He still lowered his head and rubbed the sword, over and over again, until he wiped all the blood stains in the diamond pattern on the body of the sword.

Liu Meng said: "My lord, the wall of Yuanzhou is high and the city is thick, and now there are 10,000 rebels guarding it, Zhang Xianzhong's army is only a few days away from Yuanzhou, which will undoubtedly give the rebels in Yuanzhou City a lot of confidence. Anyway, our prestige has also been played, instead of desperately attacking Jiancheng again, it is better to attack ten thousand years first, and then sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, let Lu Daqi and Zhang Xianzhong fight to the death first, let's zaijian sew and insert needles, and then enter the battle and retreat, we can be calm. ”

"Meng Ke, what is your opinion?" Qin Mu asked.

"Divide the troops." Meng Ke is really a strong man, just the word division of troops, that is, the people sitting there did not dare to think about it, just 2,000 men and horses, attacking Yuanzhou is still less profitable, he even said that he wants to divide the troops, "My lord, just give me 300 men and horses, and the other 3,000 prisoners will also be brought by me, and I will guarantee that I will take 10,000 years for the adults, as for Yuanzhou's side, there are not many of these 300 people, and there are not many of these 300 people. ”

"What does Mr. Sima mean?" Qin Mu asked.

"My lord, if the three thousand captives are used properly, it should not be a problem to use them to take ten thousand years, and I agree with General Meng's opinion."

Qin Mu said lightly to Meng Ke: "I can't give you three thousand captives. ”

"My lord, aren't you going to ask for ten thousand years?"

"No, I want it for ten thousand years, and I want Yuanzhou too."

The generals who sat down looked at Qin Mu one after another, Meng Ke's plan was greedy enough, but Yuan Zhou just tried it, and it was finally acceptable, no one expected that Qin Mu was even more ruthless, as if Wan Zai and Yuan Zhou could be pinched in the palm of their hands casually.

"What do you mean?"

"Meng Ke, I can give you five hundred captives at most, it's up to you how to use it, anyway, you must take it for me, I will let them escape back to Yuanzhou tonight, Liu Meng, you personally go and select fifty clever soldiers, let them blend in with the rebels, after entering Yuanzhou City, and then go to get the medicine, tomorrow night, at the latest until the night after tomorrow, I want all the rebels in Yuanzhou City to be thin"

Burst! Sima An squirted out a mouthful of water, because the spectacular scene of 10,000 people straining at the same time suddenly appeared in his mind, is this thatched toilet in Yuanzhou City enough?

Sima An coughed a few times and said, "Your Excellency's idea may be good, but when the army enters the city, it is very likely that it will be searched, and it seems that it is difficult for our people to bring medicinal materials into the city." ”

Qin Mu replied indifferently: "If you can't bring the medicinal herbs in, just go into the city and look for them, these are not problems, as long as we can let our people get in, the problem will be easy to handle." ”

Sima An listened to the slight chin and didn't say anything on this issue, Qin Mu has always been good at listening to the opinions of his subordinates, but this does not mean that he has no opinions, on the contrary, after he makes a decision, it is difficult for others to change, which Sima An is very clear about.

In order to cooperate with this operation, Qin Mu also lifted the prohibition of alcohol, in the camp at dusk, the soldiers laughed frequently, and the noise was endless, in addition to the people and horses in charge of guarding, the atmosphere in the camp was very warm, the cups and bowls were staggered, Qin Mu also personally came out to toast the soldiers, causing a cheer.

More than 3,000 prisoners were held in a small camp to the west, and the noise from the Chinese camp could be heard from a distance, and at the same time, they also found that the officers and soldiers who were guarding them had also secretly drunk a little wine, and the guards gradually relaxed.

Many of the captives felt that the opportunity had come, and began to talk to each other in private, whispering in tandem, and the fifty people who were selected by Liu Meng to blend in with the captives were particularly active, constantly agitating the prisoners in the camp (to be continued......
