Hearing Wang Yansheng's answer and seeing that his face was not ashamed, Murong Yanzhao suddenly became excited when he said: "We were ordered to march south. We want to take over Huainan as Han land, and the people living in Huainan as Han people. We will fight first with our troops and attack our hearts behind. We fight on the battlefield.
, still in military management. After this battle, the Huai thieves are greatly frightened by my monarch's power, and their soldiers are completely disheartened, so they can attack at once."
"You are brazenly carrying out this cruel act, spreading the word to the generals, and ruining the name of our army. It will definitely arouse the will of the Huai army to resist and lose the hearts of the people in Huainan! By then, we will cause our court to lose many more soldiers.
Can we capture Huainan?"
Murong Yanzhao always showed himself to be calm and modest. It was rare for him to be so angry. Faced with his power, Li Chongjin and Wang Yansheng couldn't help but murmur in their hearts. Li Chongjin said: "Du Yuhou, how can I think so much about this?
I’m so red-eyed that I can’t hold back! Furthermore, last night’s attack on my brothers in the Saint Guard Army resulted in a lot of casualties. The soldiers have hatred in their hearts and need to vent their hatred and avenge them!”
"It's just nonsense!" Murong Yanzhao angrily shouted: "Where is the military discipline? If you two didn't have the instruction and connivance, why would you do such an act that would harm the peace of the world?"
Wang Yansheng had a bad temper. When Murong Yanzhao pointed at his nose and scolded him like this, he became angry and stiffened his neck and said: "The man has been killed. It's useless for Marquis Yu to say more. The two of us are here to let him be dealt with!"
Staring coldly at Wang Yansheng, he then took a look at Li Chongjin, waved his horsewhip, and whipped them twice: "I am in a low position and my position is low, and I have no power to deal with the two commanders!"
He was whipped twice and endured the pain. Li Chongjin still accompanied him carefully and said to Murong Yanzhao: "Marquis Du Yu, the matter has come to this. You can tell us how to deal with the aftermath. We will follow your orders!"
Murong Yanzhao did not say anything, but stared at Wang Yansheng with a straight face. Under Murong Yanzhao's gaze, the rebellious Wang Yansheng still averted his eyes with a guilty conscience. Murong Yanzhao was no one else, he was the Emperor.
His confidant and beloved general, there have long been rumors in the army that within a few years, he will be one of the commanders of the two divisions.

Taking a deep breath, Murong Yanzhao looked at the thick layer of separated corpses piled up beside the Feishui River. Hundreds of Han soldiers had become executioners, looking hideous and terrifying.
The remaining prisoners of the Tang army were already in despair, but seeing the movements of the Han army and Murong Yanzhao's scolding of Li and Wang gave them a little hope, and a fearful and expectant gaze was cast on Murong.
Yanzhao's side.
He glanced around at those people, with a hint of intolerance in his expression. Murong Yanzhao raised his hand, turned around, and ordered without emotion: "This place is left to you to deal with, and the aftermath must be dealt with properly.
Those who are harmed will be counted as killed on the battlefield. Remember, those present today will be tight-lipped. Anyone who dares to spread rumors will be punished for confusing the morale of the army!"
"Yes!" Li Chongjin and Wang Yansheng agreed subconsciously.
Murong Yanzhao said nothing more, mounted his horse and led his men north to Xiacai and returned to camp.
"Han Lingkun, is it you who summoned Marquis Murong Du Yu?" After Murong Yanzhao walked away and saw Han Lingkun hiding aside, Wang Yansheng asked him.
Seeing Wang Yansheng's anger, Han Lingkun stepped forward and responded in a low voice: "Two generals, I am thinking about you two!"
"Is it easy to bully someone?" Wang Yansheng said angrily after hearing what he said. He was scolded and beaten, and he felt angry and raised his whip.
Seeing this, Han Lingkun hurriedly said: "General, calm down. Killing prisoners is unlucky after all. If the two generals report it afterwards, there may be worries about prosecution in the commander's tent. Now the Marquis of Yu from the capital comes first, so the impact of this worry will be minimized. Just now
Didn't Marquis Du Yu say, let us deal with the aftermath and use the battlefield to kill..."
After hearing what he said, Li Chongjin touched his shoulder. Although it was through the shoulder armor, it still hurt. Li Chongjin stopped Wang Yansheng and said, "What Commander Han said makes sense. The key is, how to deal with the aftermath?"
Wang Yansheng finally calmed down, looked at the remaining prisoners, and a ruthless look flashed on his face: "We have reached this point, what else can we do? Kill them all."
"How do you explain it to Marquis Du Yu?" Li Chongjin pointed to the north.
At this time, Han Lingkun clasped his fists and said: "These people will not be grateful if they are alive. They will only be more resentful of our army. They will definitely publicize the faults of our army in the future and cannot keep them. Before Murong Du Yuhou left, although he did not say it clearly,
But it seems to me that this is what I mean!"
"Han Lingkun, you kid has a lot of thoughts!" After hearing what he said, Wang Yansheng immediately looked at Han Lingkun twice, then became serious and stared at him: "In that case, I will leave the remaining people to your disposal.
!Marquis Du Yu’s order is to deal with the consequences appropriately!”
Upon hearing the order, Han Lingkun hesitated slightly, but did not push back. He cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"
Walking forward with a solemn expression, Han Lingkun glanced at the poor people, sighed heavily, waved his hand, and said to the Saint Protector Sergeant who was executing the execution: "Listen to the order! Kill these Huai thieves who have ulterior motives and are stubbornly resisting the power of God.
Behead it!"
The words "kill them all" came out of Han Lingkun's mouth a little lightly, but after this order, another killing was added to the Feishui River.
Han Lingkun led people to clean up the aftermath and burn the corpses. However, the evil caused by the war on the edge of the ancient water cannot be burned away by a fire...
The killing of prisoners could not be completely concealed, but as the victors, the Han generals had the opportunity to rewrite historical records...
Li Chongjin and Wang Yansheng greeted their subordinates, escorted the captured soldiers, escorted the wounded, and calmly returned to Cai Camp.
After last night's cooperation, bloody fighting, beheading generals and breaking the formation, and the friendship of killing prisoners this morning, Li Chongjin and Wang Yansheng have become very close. Li Chongjin admires his bravery and bravery, and Wang Yansheng praises his general skills.
"Brother Wang, judging from the performance of Marquis Yu, I'm afraid this matter won't be settled so easily!" Li Chongjin couldn't help but say while riding on his horse, seeming to feel guilty.
Wang Yansheng waved his hand and said: "We are all meritorious people. How can the commander-in-chief blame the general of Baizhan for this? Otherwise, how can the morale of the army be at ease? Even if the news reaches your majesty's ears, how can he bear to blame us?
?”
"Why don't you just kill some people! There is no one who is not dead on the battlefield. There are fifty or sixty thousand Huai thieves. After killing them like that last night, how many people survived? These less than three thousand people are nothing!"
"Glancing at Li Chongjin, Wang Yansheng shrugged his shoulders: "Brother Li, I'm not afraid, so what do you have to worry about? If nothing else, you will still have Guo Shu to protect you in the court..."
After listening to Wang Yansheng's words, Li Chongjin echoed in his mouth, but he was slightly worried in his heart. Murong Yanzhao's attitude made him hesitate. And it was because of Guo Wei's presence that he felt uneasy. Regarding his uncle, Li Chongjin was
He respects and fears him. If he commits a crime, he will never protect him, at least on the surface.
At this moment, Li Chongjin inevitably regretted why he was so hot-headed and accompanied Wang Yansheng to kill prisoners...
The army of the Northern Han Dynasty arrived at Xia Cai Camp, which was already full of joy, rumbling noise, and even some chaos. However, under the command of the commander, generals at all levels organized rectification meetings, and scribes from each camp rushed around. Several years of military discipline training made the Han army
He is disciplined enough and cannot cause chaos.
In the commander's tent, the commanders of the armies reported victory one after another and sang about their achievements. Wang Jun was always as steady as Mount Tai and responded calmly.
"Commander, according to rough statistics, in the battle at Xia Cai, our army beheaded at least 17,000 Huai thieves and captured less than 4,000. The rest froze to death and drowned. Countless people, except Zhang from Luzhou,
The whole army fled quickly, gathered a group of defeated troops and retreated to Shouchun. The Tang army was almost wiped out. Even if there were some fish that slipped through the net, there were not many, and there was no fighting force left!" Master Shen's thick-mouthed face was filled with a smile, and he congratulated Wang Jun.
"Not bad!" Wang Jun nodded, that's all.
Not long after, Shi Yanchao, the commander of the Hujie Horse Army, returned to camp with a group of cavalry. The Han cavalry was almost dispersed in the end, and each pursued and made achievements.
He went directly to the commander's tent to ask for an audience, and excitedly presented a head to Wang Jun: "Commander, this is Liu Yanzhen, the commander-in-chief of the Huai bandits. When this guy was defeated, he fled crazily and fled eastward for nearly a hundred miles. The last general also pursued him.
After chasing him for hundreds of miles, I finally killed him and his soldiers under the horse! I specially took his head as a sacrifice!"
Hearing this, Wang Jun became interested and stood up directly. This time, Wang Jun didn't need to give any hint, and several generals in the camp quickly stood up to accompany them. With the victory in the battle, Wang Jun became even more powerful, and ordinary generals,
I almost didn't dare to raise my head and look directly at it.
With Liu Yanzhen's head still on the ground, Wang Jun reached out and fiddled with the bloody head casually a few times. Wang Jun laughed: "Is this Liu Yanzhen? It's very ordinary! I thought he was so majestic and heroic that he could make Li
Jing, the old man, put such a large army into his hands!"
After listening to Wang Jun's words, a commander in the camp immediately flattered him: "When the Huai thieves went north, Liu Yanzhen was so arrogant. Old Li Jing was also blind. He used tens of thousands of elites to kill him, and all the commanders gave him some advice."
If you make a plan, then it will be wiped out into ashes. Who in this world is capable of being handsome?"
Although he knew these compliments were compliments, Wang Jun still felt comfortable listening to them. He stroked his beard, smiled broadly, pointed at Liu Yanzhen's head, and ordered to the primary school in front of the camp: "Go and pass on Liu Yanzhen's head."
Look at the armies!"
When Wang Jun was immersed in the praises that filled the room, Murong Yanzhao walked in and calmed down. After the generals had retreated, Murong Yanzhao told Wang Jun about Wang Yansheng and Li Chongjin's killing of prisoners.
Hearing this, Wang Jun's attitude made Murong Yanzhao feel cold. Wang Jun waved his hands and said indifferently: "I already know about this matter. They are just some prisoners. Their original intention is to cause more casualties to the Huai thieves and weaken their national strength.
.Although the two of them acted excessively, their faults cannot be overshadowed. Yesterday's attack and killing, the Holy Guard Army was the first to bear the blame. Furthermore, it has entered the cold winter, and the weather will only get colder. The army is in the south, and the food and fodder have been subdued.
The transportation is inconvenient, and too many prisoners will increase my food consumption..."
"This will arouse the Huai people's resistance!"
"If we don't let other people know how powerful our army is and don't let the Huai people be afraid, how can they surrender easily?"
Seeing Wang Jun's reaction, Murong Yanzhao sighed and cupped his hands: "Since the commander-in-chief has made a decision, the general has nothing to say!"
Before dark, Wang Jun received the battle report from Wukou. He learned that Zhao Kuangyin planned to defeat the Tang army in Haozhou and eliminated the threat of the Tang army's navy in the lower reaches of the Huaihe River in one battle. Wang Jun only sighed: He never thought that Zhao Kuangyin could actually have
This ability!
However, Wang Jun quickly expressed his anger and dissatisfaction with Ukou's victory!
