Chapter 916

When Pu Hong, Wang Zhi and others saw that XiahouDun had taken the initiative to die, they were even saddened.

"Kill, kill back!"

"Revenge for general Xiahou!"

Pu Hong roared and rushed with a knife. But as soon as he gets close to Zhang Xiu, the sword in his hand hasn't been wielded yet. Zhang Xiu's overlord gun has been stabbed.

With a puff, the tip of the gun penetrated into Pu Hong's heart, killing him with one shot. Wang Zhi also killed back, but still did not even touch Zhang Xiu's clothes, and died under Zhang Xiu's gun.

The rest of XiahouDun's soldiers began to come back.

For a moment, the momentum was like a rainbow.

It's just that the spirit of mourning did not last long. With Zhang Xiu's fierce attack, all Cao's soldiers could no longer bear it, and the momentum of counter attack began to weaken.

Screams, one after another.

A body, constantly fell to the ground, leaving countless traces of blood.

After all the loyal soldiers under XiahouDun were slaughtered, many other Cao soldiers began to escape. At the same time, there were many Cao soldiers who were completely frightened and had no courage to fight and began to surrender.

In less than half an hour, the war ended.

Zhang Xiu tells Ganning to clean up the battlefield and count the losses at the same time.

After all these statistics, nearly an hour passed. Gan Ning came to Zhang Xiu and reported: "Your Majesty, we have lost 4000 elite soldiers in this battle."

"In this battle, we killed more than 12000 Cao soldiers. More than 3000 Cao soldiers were captured, and thousands more fled. In this war, we have won a great victory. "

Gan Ning pointed to the place not far away where Cao Jun was being detained and said, "it's just that these three thousand prisoners, what should we do with them? If we detain the prisoners and drive, the speed of the army will be reduced. "

For Ganning, the implication is that he slaughtered the prisoners.

Leaving prisoners is a waste of time.

In particular, today's war is already in the territory of Dongjun, so it is more necessary for the soldiers to be quick, so Gan Ning is not willing to leave the prisoners.

Zhang Xiu shook her head and said: "none of these prisoners can be killed. When we kill Cao Jun on the battlefield, it's a battle. There's no way. But after the end of the war, large-scale slaughter of prisoners, the news spread, the whole territory of the state of Wei, will arouse resistance to our emotions, which is not cost-effective to pacify the state of Wei

After a pause, Zhang Xiu said: "what's more, the people of Wei state are also from the Central Plains, not from the frontier fortress. The Hu people in the frontier fortress are not of our race and should be killed. But these people can't be killed. "

Ganning said, "but what should we do?"

Zhang Xiu's eyes turned and fell on Li Ru and Zhang song. She asked, "for the prisoners in the army, what's the solution?"

Taking advantage of the situation, Zhang Song said, "Your Majesty, I suggest that you take them all into custody. A few soldiers were left behind, holding thousands of prisoners on their way. The rest of the army marched and captured Dongjun as planned. "

"Not right!"

Li Ru refuted directly.

Zhang Song frowned and said, "Li Shangshu, what's wrong with this?"

Zhang song is not happy at this moment. When he was in Chang'an, he was refuted by Jia Xu, Sima Yi or others. Now, under Zhang Xiu's command, Li Ru, who has always been quite low-key, even refutes him.

Zhang Song knew Li Ru's situation, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

But now Li Ru hates him.

Li Ru solemnly said: "Your Highness, if we arrange soldiers alone, we will detain thousands of prisoners and go on our way. But next, there will be countless wars and more prisoners. What should we do? "

"If we arrest the prisoners again, they will still be in custody."

"That's not right!"

"In the future, there will be more captives. In the end, they will become a burden, which will drag down the action of our army. His highness attacked Cao Cao this time. Not only our army, but also Zhang Ya of Nanyang County and Huang Zhong of Jiangxia county will invade the state of Wei. "

"In this attack on Cao Cao, the main thing we need to do is to attack the city and plunder the land, weaken the Cao army, make the whole Cao army in chaos, and even mobilize more troops to Dongjun to create opportunities for Huang Zhong and Zhang Ya."

Li Ru said: "so I think that soldiers should not be detained just because there are prisoners. This will weaken our own strength, which is the least cost-effective. "

"What should Li Shangshu do?" Zhang Song asked

With a smile, Li Ru explained: "I think the prisoners should be released, let them escape and let them go back to report the news. If XiahouDun is here, the surrender Cao army will be reorganized and released. But the murder of harhoudun and the release of these captives were the creation of panic. So I suggest that we release the prisoners and lighten our burden. "

Zhang Xiu is thinking in her heart.

He was inclined to Li Ru's suggestion, because under the current situation, Zhang Xiu could not divide up many troops.Once the troops are divided, their strength will be weakened.

It's not good for Zhang Xiu to fight.

Zhang song looks at Zhang Xiu anxiously, but listens to Zhang Xiu: "Wenyou, according to your plan, how do we send troops next?"

Zhang songdun was disappointed.

Obviously, Zhang Xiu adopted Li Ru's suggestion, otherwise she would not have asked Li Ru.

Li Ru said: "Your Highness, I think the current goal is still Baima county. We didn't go to Baima County before. The magistrate of Baima county will surely relax his vigilance. Let's go back and take Baima County in one go. Even if the other party is prepared, we still have XiahouDun's head. Killing XiahouDun is enough to frighten the other party. "

Zhang xiuhan said: "not bad!"

Zhang Xiu fully agrees with Li Ru's suggestion.

He immediately made arrangements to release more than 3000 prisoners. After all the prisoners were released, Zhang Xiu didn't care where they went. Generally speaking, after the prisoners left, on the one hand, they returned to their native places; on the other hand, they may go south to Xudu to try to return to the army.

Zhang Xiu rushed to Baima county.

Not to mention that there were no resistance fortifications in Baima county. Even the magistrate of Baima County didn't take charge of it because Zhang Xiu took the army to meet the army of Xia Houdun and thought that the crisis in Baima county was over.

Who knows Zhang Xiu killed a return shot.

So that Baima county magistrate can not resist.

Zhang Xiu is very cautious about the selection of Baima county magistrate. He is now in Baima County, and the magistrate of Baima county is obedient and dare not resist. But once Zhang Xiu left, Baima county magistrate was likely to return to Cao Cao immediately.

Therefore, the first thing Zhang Xiu did after entering the city was to remove the official position of Baima county magistrate, detain him, and then reappoint a new Baima county magistrate.

This is to avoid problems.

After taking control of Baima County, Zhang Xiu made some supplies in Baima county.

However, Zhang Xiu didn't stay. After only one day in Baima County, he left Baima county and went straight to Puyang County to take Puyang County.

When Zhang Xiu sent troops to Puyang County, the news of Zhang Xiu's entry into Dongjun County spread quickly to Cao Cao, Xu capital, and changed Cao Cao's face greatly.

Zhang Xiu is here!

As Xun you had expected, Zhang Xiu attacked Yuan Shao superficially, but actually Cao Wei.
