It was midnight when the war ended.
Half of the Mali army surrendered, and the rest were ghosts under the sword of the Han army.
Hua Xun reported blood stains on his body to Su Lu:
"In this battle, our army annihilated 6000 enemies, escaped about 1000 and captured 8000. These sharp people are really seedless. They raise their hands and surrender when they see that they can't fight. It's really not fun to fight."
"Lord, do you want to kill all these prisoners?"
There was a ferocious light in Hua Xun's eyes.
Su Lu waved his hand: "it's a pity to cut down. These are strong labor at least. There are a lot of things they can do."
"Dongji port is being repaired and sent some to Su Ping to open mountains, dig ports and clean up silt."
"Let's stay and prepare to transform the southern port. The fortress's catapults should be built, otherwise the big ships of the agile people will come, and we have to run for our lives."
Hua Xun was reluctant:
"These are prisoners. It's troublesome to manage. If someone makes trouble, it's another big trouble."
"It's better to cut them all and finish them all. We can open mountains and build fortresses. There are our guards and civilian men. They are more convenient than these people."
Lin Gang smiled and said:
"Governor Hua Xun, these are all Ma Li sergeants. If they are in our hands and Ma Li people want to attack us again, they will throw a rat's weapon. Their life is also a bargaining chip for us to negotiate with Ma Li."
Hua Xun took off the handrail and rubbed his head in a depressed tone.
"Although I say so, these people are not easy to manage. They are lazy and always make trouble. Last month, our captured Qi army bombed the camp in Linzi and attacked the civilian husband camp. It destroyed a lot of food and grass, but Su Ping lost a lot."
Su Lu took a look at Hua Xun. The boy was afraid that these sharp people would make the same thing as the Linzi bombing camp again. He was asking for advice from himself.
"Go back and set a number of money for these Qi people, how much each person is worth, or they pay money in the army, or they work by themselves, how much money they earn every day, and redeem themselves, so it's easy to manage."
Hua Xun's eyes brightened when he heard the speech. It sounded like a way.
"How much is the right amount, Lord?"
Hua Xun smacked it and began to wonder how much it should be.
Su Lu said casually:
"Don't let them see no hope. At least after a year or two of hard work, they can redeem themselves. They can't be too few. They come to Qi to make trouble without paying enough price and suffering enough. They will make trouble even more next time."
"Of course, if you have no work to do, you can also let them open up wasteland and farm. There will always be some output."
Hua Xun's eyes are brighter. In this way, things will be much easier to solve.
The Lord has many ways.
Su Lu looked at Hua Xun's back and ordered Lin Gang to say:
"Send a letter to Joseph, saying that we have 10000 prisoners of war. Let him find a way to mediate and let the people of war buy them back."
Lin Gang's eyes brightened when he heard the speech and began to sit down and write.
Half a month later, Joseph came from the north.
He came with shaentes, an envoy of the people of Mali, and a letter from the former Minister of the people of Mali.
As soon as shantesfu saw Su Lu, he showed his intention and Mali was willing to exchange the occupied land of Chu for these prisoners.
Sulu shook his head and rejected shantes's proposal:
"To the north of your army is the state of Tang, to the west is the mountain, and to the East is our Han army. There is no hope of escaping. The place they occupied was originally my land“
Shantes hurriedly said:
"Lord, although you are an invincible military God, even if you are more powerful and fight, won't your men die?"
"If you are not afraid of death or injury and insist on going to war, I can't save these soldiers who attack the state of Chu, but I have a strong crossbow. It's not good for the king."
Lin Gang said in a positive tone:
"General Sha, I'm serious. If you negotiate with such an attitude, we don't need to talk about it. Just go back. We'll use our own means to see who has a powerful crossbow."
Shantes took a step back: "little general, our sincerity is enough. Your army is insatiable. Our army is willing to donate the land of Chu in exchange for the captured sergeants."
Sulu waved his hand and stopped shantes from going on:
"All right, forget the wrangling. I'll just say it."
"If your army really wants to exchange, then exchange it with the state of Chu. Once you capture the whole state of Chu, I will send all nimble sergeants out of the country."
"As long as Ma Li doesn't interfere in the internal affairs of China, I can suffer some losses and send you away."
Shantes was angry. Su Lu was shameless enough. Let's attack the state of Chu for you.
After whispering a few words with his entourage, shantes was immediately discouraged after he knew the current war situation in his heart.
Taking into account the land of the state of Chu that has now fallen into the hands of the Han Army, my family has captured most of the cities of the state of Chu, and more than half of the remaining cities have sent a surrender table and are willing to surrender to Mali.
It can be said that there are not many cities that need to be attacked by their own sergeants. As long as they break out of the palace capital, all the Chu land can be captured.
"Well, since the Lord is quick to speak, I, shantes, on behalf of the former royal minister, promise you that if the Lord can guarantee to send me Sergeant Ma Li safely on board, we will exchange."
Hua Xun looked at shantes. There are more than 200 cities in the state of Chu, and now there are more than 100 cities under the control of the court of the state of Chu. The agile people are willing to attack these cities in exchange.
There's something wrong with the quick man's head.
If you attack so many cities, you will certainly die many sergeants. Even if agile people fight with their own family, you may die so many people.
He even promised. He's a spineless and quick envoy.
Alas, it's a pity. My family has calculated the value for each sergeant. I'm watching them work hard in full swing. It's about to be redeemed.
What a pity.
Su Lu nodded:
"Well, since general shantes has agreed, please attack the state of Chu as soon as possible. As for the cities occupied by your army, I will send sergeants to receive them. You should communicate well."
"Don't fight with our Han army again."
Shantes said angrily:
"Don't worry, Lord. We can still do it well."
Joseph was surprised to see that the two had completed the negotiation so quickly. Shantes must have known that the Han Army had developed a new type of flying bird, otherwise it would not be so easy to admit it.
Unfortunately, my chance to profit from it is gone.
"Don't worry, my Lord. With Tessie as the middleman, these things will be done well."
Su Lu looked at Joseph and said coldly:
"You, Tessie, are not a good thing. The three countries have made an appointment to attack Intel. Now Intel has been destroyed. What about the special money you promised in advance?"
Joseph was tongue tied
