Su Yi rode a war horse and walked slowly in the shallow water. There were Qin soldiers all around, and some of them were poking at the water randomly with their halberds.
Some people turned the floating corpse over with their halberds... This place was already at the extreme downstream of the flood. After the flood, the mountainous area was in a mess, and the entire Jin army's defense line was swept past.
The hundred thousand troops were all involved in the torrent. Some people were drowned, while others were washed everywhere. They were scattered and defeated. Because the soldiers were wearing armor, it was a deadly thing in the water. , it is not an exaggeration to describe it as annihilation of the entire army.
After a patrol, a general also ran over with difficulty in the water: "Su Shuai!"
"How is the situation?" Su Yi asked directly.
"Based on the current situation, preliminary estimates indicate that at least half of the Jin army's casualties were killed and wounded, and some others should have been swept away by the torrent." General Pian returned.
"Yes." Su Yi nodded and asked, "Have you found Guan Jie?"
"Found it." The general said, and he turned sideways and raised his hand: "Bring it up!" Following his words, Guan Jie was escorted over by two Qin soldiers, one on the left and one on the right.
His face was very pale, and he had obviously choked on a lot of muddy water. His hair was disheveled, and he looked embarrassed. The helmet on his head had long been washed away.
This was because the Qin army discovered him and carried out some rescue operations to bring him back to life. Otherwise, we still don't know what his fate will be now.
After he was brought to Su Yi, the two Qin soldiers immediately began to shout: "Kneel down!" While scolding, the two of them also aimed at Guan Jie's legs and wrists and kicked him several times.
The latter's hands were tied behind his back. Under the force, his legs were bent and he almost couldn't stand. However, they quickly straightened up and his face was full of anger. He glared at Su Yi with wide eyes.
"Huh?" Upon seeing this, Su Yi raised his hand to stop the two Qin soldiers. After all, the other party was the commander of the same army. Although they were hostile, they had different positions. Now that they had been defeated, there was no need to humiliate them.
Su Yi is a qualified commander, and he definitely has the broadmindedness he should have. After looking directly at Guan Jie, he also smiled softly and said: "At this point in the war, the Jin army's defense line has been destroyed. Puyang has been besieged by our army and is about to be broken. General Guan, don't think about resisting anymore. ."
"Hmph! Su Yi, you conspired and deceived and relied on the torrent to win this war. What kind of skills do you have!" Guan Jie shouted unconvinced.
Su Yi shook his head: "This is war, and the general is also a veteran general. Don't you think the soldiers are deceitful? What's the point of speaking like this?" His words left Guan Jie speechless. Yes, this It's a war, no matter what, our side has been defeated, this is the fact!
After a long pause, he said: "Okay, Su Yi, you are right. Now I am a prisoner of the general. If you want to kill or behead me, you can do whatever you want. Why waste your time!"
"Haha." Su Yi smiled again and said, "General Guan, although you and I are our own masters, I respect your character and still want to give you a way out."
"What do you mean?" Guan Jie's heart was unavoidable. It was about his family and life. Anyone who was a human would be nervous.
"As the commander-in-chief of the Jin Army, you write a military order instructing Puyang to open the city and surrender. I will immediately report to the king. If this can be done, with the merits of the general, I dare to guarantee that there will be no loss. The title is higher than that of Jin Dynasty!" Su Yi said directly.
"Hahahaha——" When he heard this, Guan Jie immediately looked up and smiled and said: "Su Yi, Su Yi, don't you feel ashamed when you say this!"
"In charge of the general, my king has always been courteous to the virtuous and corporal. As long as the general is willing to surrender, he will be stronger in the Qin State than in the Jin State. This is a great benefit. The so-called person who knows the current affairs is a hero, the general must think carefully..."
"Shut up!" Guan Jie interrupted him directly and said angrily: "Su Yi! Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated! I am a general of the Jin Kingdom, how can I join the bandits! I am defeated today and have nothing to say! But Su Yi !Don’t insult me!”
"General Guan..." Su Yi wanted to persuade him again. But Guan Jie said angrily again: "Su Yi! If you were me, what would you do after defeat!?" Hearing such words, Su Yi fell silent. Likewise, he also knew Guan Jie's determination, and This person’s ambition.
"Okay, okay, the general speaks like this to clarify his ambition. I sincerely admire him!"
"please!"
"Thank you for your support!" The latter really looked like he was ready to die. Guan Jie's refusal to surrender was actually within Su Yi's expectation. This was just a situation. There were still 100,000 Jin troops in Puyang. Staying there was of course a hidden danger and had to be dealt with in a way.
As for the current battle situation, after the Jin army's defense line was destroyed, Puyang has become an isolated city, surrounded by enemies on all sides. It is just a siege. There are some problems with the Qin army's strength.
After dealing with Guan Jie's case, Su Yi immediately wrote a battle report, describing the battle situation in detail, and handed it to Lin Chu, and asked him to use a falcon to send it to the capital of Qin.
The power of military intelligence enabled Xiao Yuan to receive the news quickly. In the court meeting hall, after reading Su Yi's battle report, he couldn't help but stand up and said slightly excitedly: "Okay, okay, okay!" He said "yes" three times in a row, and the ministers in the court couldn't help but look at each other. Look, I have never seen the king in such a situation.
Shangguan Wenruo couldn't help but stepped out and asked: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, I don't know what happened." Xiao Yuan looked at him, with a flash in his eyes: "General Su Yi, you are worthy of being the commander-in-chief of our Qin Army. The Jin army faced off against each other for ten months. They secretly planned and finally destroyed the enemy's entire defense line with a flood! Their leader, Guan Jie, was also captured alive!"
"Ah!?" After hearing this, the ministers were all shocked. After being unbelievable, they all began to shout: "I, Wang Yingming -" At this time, no one said that he was no longer the commander-in-chief.
Of course Xiao Yuan didn't care about this. After a hearty smile, he said seriously: "Now, the Jin army's external defense lines are completely destroyed, but there are still 100,000 troops in Puyang City. If they are not dealt with, these 100,000 Jin troops will be destroyed." It will be a big threat, so General Su Yi has surrounded Puyang on all sides with an army of 160,000, but in terms of military strength, 160,000 cannot surround 100,000."
"What do you mean, your Majesty, we need more troops?" Shangguan Wenruo asked tentatively.
"That's right." Xiao Yuan said directly: "Send all the available troops of our Qin State to reinforce Puyang, besiege the city with a real army, and completely trap the 100,000 Jin army to death!" Hearing this, people couldn't help but be surprised. glanced at it.
The Qin State currently has an army of 200,000 unmoved, but 50,000 of them belong to the border army. If they want to defend Xirong at Qin Pass, they cannot move under any circumstances.
Another 50,000 are to be stationed in Ningyang. The remaining 100,000 people also need to guard the place. ABC
