Chapter 289
"Yes, one hundred thousand Chu troops!" Li Jing said solemnly.
"We are in trouble now, General Li. Do you have any good suggestions?" Tang Yu asked.
In Tang Yu's opinion, it was quite good for Chu's hundreds of thousands of troops to escape and bring back tens of thousands, but he really didn't expect that Chu's army fled with one hundred thousand people.
After Tang Yu's previous analysis, there were 50,000 defenders in Jingzhou City. Even if all the 50,000 defenders in Jingzhou City fled, plus the tens of thousands who escaped in the flood, the number would never be enough to reach 100,000. .
Li Jing hesitated for a moment, and he said helplessly: "The cells in Jizhou City can only hold a thousand people, and we can't hold more people! Now these Chu troops are under our unified custody. If the stalemate continues, I estimate that General Qin Mang will soon will come to Jizhou City, and by then, my secret army of 100,000 people will definitely be exposed to the light!"
"Exposed? No, absolutely not!"
Tang Yu said solemnly: "General Li, the 100,000 people you have are my trump card. We can't expose them at all! Otherwise, let's trap and kill all the 100,000 Chu troops?"
"What? Your Highness, you want to trap and kill 100,000 Chu troops?" Li Jing exclaimed when he heard him.
Tang Yu nodded and said: "Yes! Collective trap and kill!"
At this time, Tang Yu suddenly remembered Bai Qi, the God of Killing in the Warring States Period. According to historical records, Bai Qi, the God of Killing, defeated the State of Zhao in the Battle of Changping and killed Zhao's 400,000 troops in one fell swoop. .
Remember https://m in one second.
At present, there are too many deserters from the Chu army. Tang Yu can't think of a better way besides encircling and killing them collectively.
"Your Highness, think twice before you act! There are constant wars among the seven countries in the world. Although all countries have captured a large number of prisoners of war, they have never killed one hundred thousand people at once. If Your Highness kills one hundred thousand Chu troops at once, it will be rumored that If you go out, everyone in the world will scold you!" Li Jing said sternly.
"What are you afraid of?"
Tang Yu sneered: "This time I flooded the Seventh Army and already made the world angry. What's the harm in killing another hundred thousand Chu troops? Since they are destined to be reviled by the people of the world, let them scold them! After this After this battle, I also want to tell the world that I, Tang Yu, am not someone to be trifled with!"
"Your Highness, do you really want to kill them all?" Li Jing frowned.
Although he decided to follow Tang Yu wholeheartedly, he really felt that Tang Yu was too murderous at this moment.
Tang Yu knew that Li Jing felt that he was too murderous. He analyzed: "General Li, first, even if one hundred thousand Chu troops have no weapons, once a collective riot occurs, we will definitely lose our troops. In order to prevent accidents, these one hundred thousand troops must be All the Chu armies have been eradicated. In my eyes, the lives of one hundred thousand Chu armies are not worth as much as one of my soldiers from the Tang Dynasty!"
"Second, you and your 100,000 troops are my trump card and cannot be exposed easily. If Qin Mang finds out about you, it will be very disadvantageous for me to fight in the court in the future! After all, the sooner the trump card is exposed, the better the chance of counterattack in the event of full-scale turmoil. Become more passive!"
"Third, this time we flooded the seven armies. The Chu army will definitely be angry with us and recruit them to surrender. These Chu army will definitely refuse to surrender to death. Letting them back to the Chu army will be letting the tiger return to the mountain. If Chu is angry and sends troops to fight, These 100,000 Chu troops are a real force!"
"Fourth, how much food and grass will be consumed in guarding so many Chu troops in a day? We now have a large army and can barely provide enough supplies. If there are an extra hundred thousand mouths, do we still need to eat? To put it bluntly, we can't provide for one hundred thousand Chu troops. rise!"
"Fifth, if Qin Mang comes, Qin Mang may also trap and kill a hundred thousand Chu troops. Instead of being trapped and killed by Qin Mang, it is better for us to trap and kill ourselves! Let's take action. When the commander returns to the court, the soldiers can establish For military merit, receiving a reward is much better than falling into the hands of Qin Mang, right?"
"This..." When Tang Yu listed five reasons for Li Jing in one breath, Li Jing's will was completely shaken.
He is a famous general of the generation. Li Jing can clearly conclude that Tang Yu's analysis is not wrong at all. There is no better way at present, so he has to trap and kill all the 100,000 Chu troops.
"Report!"
"Your Highness, General Li, the spies just came to report that General Qin Mang is leading an army of 50,000 people on a rapid march. In less than half an hour, an army of 50,000 people will arrive in Jizhou City!" A military general ran over quickly.
Tang Yu said resolutely: "General Li, you heard me, Qin Mang is coming soon, if you want to take action, do it now, time cannot wait for us!"
