Several military orders were issued in succession, and there was no more sound from the commander's tent. There was a faint sound of the cold-blooded Tie Fu Guard's horses kicking outside.
Xin Zhuo looked at Wangyuejing again, but there was still no change.
Just sit down cross-legged, close your eyes and relax.
At noon on the second day, news came——
Yuchi Shuozhen has led his people to occupy the baggage granary of the Western Region Alliance Army in Jiwei Town. The armor, equipment, food, and baggage are unimaginable. According to statistics from the quartermaster, it is enough for an army of 500,000 to last for three months.
Half a million troops for three months?
The Western Qin Army itself had more than 100,000 troops, plus 800,000 captives from the Western Regions, and there were more than 200,000 remaining soldiers from the plague in Qinghu Bay, a total of more than 1.1 million.
This is definitely not something that more than a million troops can hold out for a month and a half.
In the afternoon, news came again that Bai Xuanji and the five girls from Xiongzhang had arrived in Guiwei Prefecture. The news of the defeat of the Western Region Army had reached there, and the six prefectures and prefectures were waiting to see the wind.
Immediately afterwards, one state, eight prefectures, and seventy-two Western Region tribes in Qiuling Prefecture were in chaos. Uprisings were everywhere, and many people turned against the Western Qin Dynasty.
The situation in all directions is excellent, but there is still no news about the defeated troops and prisoners in the Western Region.
Xin Zhuo continued to wait patiently until late at night on the third day.
Jiang Shisan arrived in a hurry and bowed down to report: "Captain Bingda, we encountered seventeen places of resistance. It took two days and one night to suppress them all. Most of the Western Region Allied Forces were infected by the plague and were unable to escape. A total of one hundred prisoners were captured. Of the 020,000 people, only Si Liuqi, the commander-in-chief of Guifang Kingdom, Jingluji, the prince of Guifang Kingdom, Si Si'an, the princess of Gumo Kingdom, and Anlu Feiying, the prince of An'an Kingdom, were left. They led two thousand personal guards and fled to Ma, a thousand miles away. In the direction of Yuan Zhe’s family and Yuchi’s family!”
"Zhe family, Yuchi family..."
Xin Zhuo has some knowledge of these centuries-old frontier military clans. In addition to the Zhe family and the Yuchi family, there are also the Lin family, the Gusu family, and the Shu family!
These military lords have many children, many masters of martial arts, and extremely fierce private soldiers. Apart from the Jiang family, they are the most powerful family in the Western Qin land and even the Western Regions. They are Lin Haotian, Yuchi Jun, and Zhan Tengkun in the Western Qin army. They are also the children of these powerful families.
A few months ago, the Western Qin Army suffered a disastrous defeat and lost three thousand miles of Ma Yuan and the Xihe Nine Waters Corridor. These aristocratic families must have contributed to the indifference or perfunctory work!
It is said that they have surrendered the Western Region Army!
Xin Zhuo's eyes flickered, smiled, and said nothing, just asked: "Where are all the prisoners?"
Jiang Shisan replied: "We are all from White Beach to Qinghu Bay."
…
Early in the morning.
The commander-in-chief of the West Qin County Prince set off, surrounded by eight hundred iron floating guards and seven thousand Western Qin iron cavalry, and headed straight for the white sand beach.
Arrive at noon.
Before they even got close, they could already see a series of dilapidated camps and dark masses of decadent soldiers from the Western Regions, being driven closer together like pigs and dogs.
"Da da da……"
A large group of generals, Jiang Guyen, Lin Haotian, Tuoba Kedi, Jiang Yuxi and Jiang Maner, had already come forward in the dust.
"Grand Governor!"
Everyone's expressions were more tense, passionate and admiring than before. On that day, a million troops fought in a decisive battle. There were too many battles, too many dangers, and countless repeated attacks. No one can remember the details, but the Governor's No one could ignore the charge of the Chinese army and the terrifying unicorn silhouette.
They even believed that at least the governor alone took most of the credit for this battle.
Xin Zhuo nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Good work, generals!"
"Great Governor, thank you for your hard work!"
Veteran Jiang Guyen gave a military salute with a serious look on his face: "This battle is the work of the Governor!"
Xin Zhuo shook his head and said: "I'm not a god, what credit can one person have? The old general has given me the award, and I'm blushing."
Everyone smiled, and Yuchi Jun said: "We have carefully counted and captured 1,023,893 people, but..."
After thinking about it for a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "It's just that the plague is rampant. I'm afraid that if so many people gather together, there will be trouble. Xi Qin Erlang will use diapers to block his nose!"
"We can't get out. The plague is only effective for five days. It's almost time to dissipate!" Xin Zhuo jumped on his horse and ran towards the vast prison camp.
The generals behind him were startled, and a chill could not help but rise in their hearts. They knew about the "plague" and had also heard about Zhang Guangpu and the nineteen lieutenant colonels. The Governor... not only created the plague , is the dissipation time accurate?
What kind of calculation is this? When the old commander Jiang Wen was still alive, he was already a dragon among men, but he was no match for his son's plans.
He is only seventeen years old!
Everyone looked at each other and quickly caught up with the Grand Governor.
The prisoner camp has arrived, and what you see is full of decadence, fear, uneasiness, and the symptoms of the "plague". The more than one million Western Region Allied Forces prisoners stretching for dozens of miles have changed from iron-blooded and murderous to languid, like They were a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, with a somewhat numb look in their eyes.
Many of the soldiers from the Western Regions were seriously injured and were being supported by Pao Ze. Both the supporter and the wounded looked a little dull.
Among them were a group of female generals and soldiers. Their armors were broken and their white chests were exposed. They did not hide it, as if they were about to die, and no courtesy, justice or shame mattered.
Farther away, there were endless descending soldiers, sitting here and there in a dead silence.
Xin Zhuo once imagined why there were many times more prisoners than the escorts, but they were still willing to be slaughtered. No one resisted. Even if you chew them with your teeth, you might be able to defeat the enemy, right?
In fact, the Western Qin army captured more than one million people from 80,000 to 90,000 people, which is a bit funny in itself.
But now I understand.
These people have lost confidence and hope. Everyone is shrouded in pessimism, and their hearts are filled with shock and fear after a great defeat. The head-on battle has been lost, so what can they do with resistance?
Or, they want someone to take the lead, but the person they want to take the lead also wants someone else to take the lead...
This kind of self-contradiction, self-denial and post-war decadence syndrome is enough to completely destroy their self-confidence.
Continuing to walk forward, you can occasionally see a group of soldiers from the Western Regions surrounding some people. Although they are dejected, they are still somewhat popular.
Xin Zhuo looked at these people carefully, his eyes changing from calm to complicated, and finally turned cold.
Ahead was the military tent guarding the camp. Xin Zhuo dismounted and walked in, sitting cross-legged on the military platform.
After a while, dozens of Western Qin army generals filed in, saluted and sat cross-legged in two rows.
Mr. Yuchi clasped his fists and said, "It is up to the Governor to decide how to deal with these prisoners!"
The generals agreed one after another, which was what they should have meant. After all, it was the Governor's military order to capture all the Western Region Allied Forces. Even at this moment, the generals could not understand the true intentions of the Governor!
What's the use of so many surrendered soldiers from the Western Regions? They can't afford to support them!
Xin Zhuo glanced at the faces of the group of people and chuckled: "What do you think if I want to recruit these surrendered soldiers?"
The generals looked at each other, and Jiang Guyen stood up first and refused: "This is not possible. If you are not of my race, they will have different minds. Once so many soldiers are surrendered, once they have armored weapons, they will inevitably have different minds in the future. It will be difficult for them to do so." control!"
Yuchi Jun also stood up and said: "If the Governor wants to expand the army and restore the number of the Western Qin Army in the past, he can start from the three states and eighteen prefectures, the three hundred and eighty villages, and even the recovered Three Thousand Miles of Ma Yuan and the Xihe Nine Waters Corridor. Recruit! These pawns are not available!"
