It is inside the city.
Lu Xuan has already brought people in.
Currently, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and other generals are busy dealing with the prisoners. Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others were responsible for handling account books, land, and counting grain and grass.
Only Lu Xuan was very relaxed here.
After all, it is the people below who are busy.
At night, it was approaching early morning, and Lu Xuan had already rested his soldiers. Xu Chu came in to report that Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Cao Cao and others were jointly present.
Lu Xuan was dressed neatly again and met everyone in the Chinese army tent.
He looked over and saw that the expressions on the faces of all the civil and military officials were very pleasant and full of joy.
If we adopt the strategy of attacking its city, countless soldiers will inevitably be lost, because King Chaori has sufficient soldiers and defensive equipment, and many soldiers will die in the siege.
Now with the help of King Chaori's elephant, he used his plan to attack with fire, causing King Chaori's strategy to fail, and he gained countless gains.
Lu Xuan looked at Guan Yu who was in charge and asked: "Yun Chang, tell me about the results of this battle."
Guan Yu's red face became even redder, his eyes were bright, and he said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this time we fought with Tianzhu, and the number of Tianzhu soldiers killed was more than 8,600. Five Tianzhu soldiers were captured. There were more than 3,000 people. Although many of the Tianzhu soldiers escaped, King Chaori was defeated in one battle and the pattern of the Western Region was completely established. After this battle, King Chaori could no longer gain a foothold in the Western Region."
The expressions on each of their faces were extremely excited.
When the Western Regions was in the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions Protectorate was established, which was a territory of the Han Dynasty. Because there is a long distance between the Western Regions and the Central Plains, as the Central Plains declined, the Western Regions became independent.
So far, the Western Region has been captured again.
This is a reflection of national strength.
Lu Xuan's face was also full of joy, and he said in a deep voice: "It is indeed very good to achieve such fruitful results. What will be our own casualties after this battle?"
Guan Yu reported: "We have been covering up and killing the Tianzhu soldiers from the beginning to the end. Although we encountered a little resistance, there was no real fighting at all. Three hundred and sixty-eight of our soldiers died in the battle."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "All the soldiers who died in battle will be compensated."
In the first battle, 368 people were lost. The losses were very small. The main reason was that the Tianzhu soldiers collapsed.
This is the key.
Without this step, it would have been impossible to achieve such a victory with the loss of more than 300 people.
Lu Xuan looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Wenhe, how much supplies are there in the city?"
Jia Xu said: "Reporting to your majesty, we currently have more than one million kilograms of food in Gancheng. This was collected by King Chaori. Although it consumed a lot, this batch of food can also sustain us for some time. .”
"In addition, there are more than 30,000 people from the Western Regions who were captured in the city, which King Chaori used as slaves. These people did a lot of things like building fortifications and preparing supplies."
"For now, the people in the Western Region can be released directly and let them go home."
Jia Xu said: "For the time being, we can use Qiancheng as our base camp and arrange the army to expand westward and seize various parts of the Western Region. Because King Chaori will definitely not be able to gain a foothold if he retreats now."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "It is indeed possible to conquer various places. All countries in the Western Region must submit unconditionally."
Cao Cao took the initiative and said, "Your Majesty, I think there are still things to arrange."
Lu Xuan asked; "What's the matter?"
Cao Cao said: "The first thing is that this time we chased the Tianzhu people and captured the Tianzhu people's elephants. I asked General Guan and found that there were 128 elephants captured and they escaped. Some. These elephants need to be dealt with."
"The second thing is that the number of captured Tianzhu soldiers, including the thousands of people captured before, the total number of captured Tianzhu soldiers is already about 60,000. This kind of population consumption is very huge."
"However, it would not be appropriate to kill them all. There is no need to kill them all."
"It would be a shame to release them all."
"Now, whether it is the giant elephant in the army or the Tianzhu soldiers, they must be properly arranged, and they cannot be arranged simply."
Although Cao Cao often rescued women, he was also very concerned about military matters. When he did not neglect his duties, he quickly said: "These things must be handled properly, and if they are handled well, it will also be important for the subsequent attack on Tianzhu." Very helpful.”
Lu Xuan looked around at everyone present and asked, "What suggestions do you have for these?"
Ma Chao said: "Your Majesty, if there is anything to investigate about these elephants, just release them."
Guo Jia smiled softly and said: "Meng Qi, elephants cannot survive in the Western Region. Once they run around, they are likely to die. The best arrangement is to drive these elephants westward and release them after leaving Congling. Tianzhu, they will naturally follow the places with warm weather.”
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "Feng Xiao's arrangement is also possible, but it is a pity to simply release him."
"My consideration is that since these elephants have been captured, because the weather in the Western Region is not suitable for their survival, I will arrange for a group of people to guide the elephants westward, and then into Tianzhu to feed them in warm places."
"The elephant cannot attack us because we are prepared. However, what if King Chaori is not prepared and we treat him the same way he does in the future and use elephants to fight back?"
Lu Xuan wanted to take advantage of these elephants.
On the battlefield, this is a sword of surprise.
Guo Jia's eyes lit up and he praised: "Your Majesty, this arrangement is indeed good. This chess piece is either the key to breaking the game for us, or it is just a free chess piece. However, once it can be activated, it can have unexpected effects."
The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he said excitedly: "I am willing to personally take charge of this matter."
Lu Xuan frowned and said, "Does Fengxiao want to sneak into the Western Region in advance again?"
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Your Majesty knows me."
Now he followed Lu Xuan out, not wanting to stay at the rear. Only by going to the front would there be more excitement. Moreover, his body is in better shape than in history, and he is not as worried as he was in history, so he enjoys the adventure now.
Lu Xuan said: "In this place in the Western Region, the language is already blocked. When we get to Tianzhu, the language is different again, and the customs and customs are also different. Once we go there, it will be very dangerous."
Guo Jia looked confident and said: "When there is danger, there is an opportunity. The most important point is that Chaori King just evacuated and fled in a hurry. He could not arrange more people to rear, and he had no time to think about the follow-up. Relax in Chaori King The best time to infiltrate is when you are alert."
Guo Jia's eyes showed desire.
As counselors, some people need to stay in the rear. People like Xun Yu are naturally suited to handle the rear. Some people are suitable to stay with the master, such as people like Jia Xu who have no plans left.
Guo Jia hopes to make his own way.
Lu Xuan's side can be said to be surrounded by military commanders like clouds and counselors like rain. There are too many.
Therefore, it is most appropriate to go deep into the front line.
Seeing that Lu Xuan was still deep in thought, Guo Jia solemnly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
Lu Xuan weighed it in his mind, looked at the other generals, and said in a deep voice: "You all know Guo Jia's plan, who is willing to follow him? This journey is mainly about inquiring about information and arranging elephants, no There will be too many tasks.”
Everyone was thinking about it, and no one expressed their opinions for the time being.
Lu Xuan didn't force it and waited quietly.
Suddenly, Huang Zhong stood up directly, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go with Military Advisor Guo."
Lu Xuan asked: "Han Sheng, you are not young anymore, can you do it?"
Huang Zhong raised his head, his face was rosy, and he said loudly: "I currently eat a pound of rice per meal and more meat. I am in good health. I can eat, sleep and fight. Please rest assured, your majesty, as long as I am here, To ensure the safety of Military Advisor Guo, no one will harm Military Advisor Guo in the slightest."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "Then it's settled. You bring a group of soldiers and act with Guo Jia. But in addition to you, we also need people who control the war elephants. These people need to be chosen from the Tianzhu soldiers."
Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the soldiers from Tianzhu are not of my race and their hearts must be different. I am afraid these people will not really obey my orders."
Zhao Yun echoed: "Your Majesty, I also agree."
Others expressed their opinions one after another.
None of them believed in the Tianzhu people because both sides were still hostile forces.
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "It seems that your arrangements for the Tianzhu soldiers are generally to kill or release them. There is no other option."
Gao Shun said with murderous intent: "Your Majesty, the Tianzhu soldiers are originally from the foreign countries. Even if we win over such people, they may become our enemies because they are not the same kind of people. If we release them, we will only increase the number of enemies. His fighting power is so great that he deserves to be killed."
Ma Chao said: "I also agree!"
Guan Yu looked coldly and said: "Although it is ominous to kill prisoners, the Tianzhu soldiers are not our own, and they are not killing the people of the Ming Dynasty. They should be killed when they need to be killed. I also agree with the analysis of Gao Shun and Ma Chao."
Zhao Yun said: "There is some kindness in releasing these people. I believe that the Tianzhu people can be released."
Chen Dao said: "I agree to release the person."
Everyone holds their own opinions, and their opinions cannot be unified for the time being.
Lu Xuan listened to the discussion of the people below. He originally asked everyone what their plans were for the civil and military officials. Now it seems that there is a dispute, each insisting on his own opinion, and the public is right and the mother-in-law is right.
A pair of eyes fell on Lu Xuan, waiting for Lu Xuan to make a decision.
Lu Xuan said unhurriedly: "Actually, this matter is not a difficult choice. All Tianzhu people must be released. However, these Tianzhu people have to win over, so that quite a few of them will work for me. Used."
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this will be very difficult. These days, I have also learned about the situation in Tianzhu. Under the caste system in Tianzhu, on the one hand, these people are deeply servile and cannot change at all. On the other hand, their high regard for Tianzhu Caste people are afraid and it is too difficult to instigate these people.”
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "If you just use empty words to attract rebellion, like I did before when I was a commoner in the Western Region and made all kinds of promises, it will naturally not achieve the effect."
"For the people of the Western Region, because we are in the Western Region and will soon govern in the Western Region, the promised arrangements can be seen by the people and will have the opportunity to feel it in the future."
"Such an approach will not work for Tianzhu people. However, after changing the way of thinking, using a grievance conference to resonate with all the lower caste people in Tianzhu, arousing their empathy and giving them courage, it is different. .”
The grievance meeting was a policy in the land reform, and it accused the rich of things such as being rich and being unkind.
This approach is more than just complaining.
In fact, it is a united front that integrates all poor people and gathers strength. At the same time, further establish the enemy. Furthermore, talents can also be cultivated among them.
This has multiple functions.
Ordinary methods are of no use to the people of Tianzhu, or if Lu Xuan does not have enough strength to support him, and Lu Xuan wants to enter Tianzhu, even if complaints are prevalent in Tianzhu, it will be useless.
Such a method requires strong intervention from Lu Xuan, who serves as the backing of these people.
Only in this way can we develop.
Now, Lu Xuan wants to deal with Tianzhu, so he uses the grievance conference to win over the Tianzhu people, instigate these Tianzhu people to rebel, and cause them to criticize the Tianzhu caste system. This is the fundamental way to subvert Tianzhu.
Cao Cao was a little confused when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I don't quite understand. Please make it clear."
Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and others also followed.
