Chapter 664

The Mahli army fell.

The flying birds controlled by Su Yun shot down nine flying birds, and the one with a strong crossbow was also shot down. After that, the fast flying birds began to strangle the infantry.

After a few rounds, the arrow rain sprayed by the birds killed hundreds of gunners.

Sergeant Mahli, who fled to the camp, was guarded by the camp, but was still killed by birds.

Shantes, who was extremely sad and angry, was shot by an arrow. If he hadn't been wearing a helmet, the whole person would have been shot right through.

Looking at the dead worthless soldiers, shantes red eyes, gave an order, and the whole army surrendered.

That day, in addition to attacking the city and dying, he was killed by his own birds. More than 30000 Mali surrendered. The Mali water army fled downstream along the Huai River.

When shantes was escorted to Sulu, he looked haggard and lost a circle of weight.

"I haven't seen you for many days. General Sha has lost a lot of weight."

Su Lu said with a smile that now the war situation has been settled, the Three Kingdoms of Chu, Tang and Qi have been destroyed, and these agile armies have been cleaned up. The next step is to recuperate and rectify the administration of officials, so you don't have to worry about anything.

Everything is light. Su Lu feels very comfortable.

Shantes saluted Su Lu, sat down in the chair and smiled bitterly:

"My Lord, I'm sorry for the safety of tens of thousands of troops. I'm really sorry for your officers and men, your former ministers and your majesty."

Su Lu nodded, smiled and said:

"Well, general shantes, the relationship between our two countries was quite harmonious, but you mistakenly believed slander and led to the exchange of troops between the two countries. Now all your troops are captured by our country. In order to show the sincerity of our Han country, I decided that our previous agreement is still valid."

"As long as you sign the Treaty of no attack on China and no use of strong crossbow with China, you can pay for the price of one hundred and twenty-one people to buy you back."

Shantes stood up at the sound of the speech and looked at Su Lu with amazement on his face:

"Can you take this seriously?"

Su Lu nodded. "Seriously, your country is rich in resources and lacks people. I know that. Moreover, from the sudden war launched by general shantes, it should be in a hurry to leave and want to return home with a large army. It's not easy to live in your country."

Shantes walked back and forth in the account and said with a bitter smile:

"I dare not hide it from the Lord. There are indeed disputes in China. The officials of the conservative department have made trouble, the disputes between the north and the south, and something has happened. There are many mutinies in the army supporting the great emperor, and I urgently need my help back home."

"If the Lord is willing to release these sergeants, shantes will thank the Lord for his sincerity on behalf of his Majesty the great emperor and the former minister."

Su Lu thought that there was a moth in Mali's country, but it was normal. As soon as the domestic war was settled, he went on the virtual country expedition. Most of the army subordinate to the emperor of Mali were not in China. It was strange that the domestic opposition did not make trouble.

If the opposition is now gaining momentum, pressing the emperor's side to fight and win many wars, they will support the emperor Mali at that time.

According to shantes' anxiety, the emperor of Mali must be very anxious. When he negotiated the redemption money with Mali, the emperor would be beaten by the rebels and shrink to the corner of Mali. At that time, he would get this new force and fight a few more wars. It would be impossible for Mali to remain in chaos for more than a decade.

"No need to thank you. Everyone is for the sake of interests. General shantes should return home as soon as possible."

Shantes looked happy, but he still saluted Su Lu, and then turned around and walked with great strides.

Su Lu sent shantes out a big account and asked the nearby land war:

"Where are Cao Hua and Zhao Wu's troops?"

"General Cao Hua went to the capital of Chu and lost the emperor of Tang last time. This time, general Cao Hua did not let go of the emperor of Chu and captured more than 100 honourable ministers including the emperor of Chu."

"General Zhao Wu travels all the time. He can get here tonight."

Su Lu ordered:

"Send orders, let them divide their troops, sweep the cities of the state of Chu, divide their troops and guard their guards, cooperate with Dingxiang guards, select Chu officials, kill what should be killed and surrender what should be."

"I wrote to your majesty, saying that the land of Chu had fallen into the hands of the Han Dynasty. Please consult with the Ministry of officials and send capable officials to serve as officials in the land of Chu."

"The Ministry of rites should also take action to implement schools and reform the school system. These should be implemented as soon as possible."

"Chu and Qi have suffered a lot of damage from this war. All localities are in urgent need of food for the winter. Please send food to the Ministry of household to avoid starvation everywhere."

Several literary officials followed quickly wrote down Su Lu's words, then went back to polish, transcribe, and then sent to the capital.

A few days later, Cao Hua and Zhao Wu arrived. Together with Hua Xun, they met Su Lu in the main hall.

The war was over, and several senior generals were wearing scarlet robes with a happy face.

Su Lu ordered all the generals to sit down, took pictures of the defense map on the wall and said:

"The war is over. Next, we have to deal with the enemy's attacks from the sea and on the road."

"It's OK to say on the road that there are only two ways to go. Jiameng pass is in the hands of our army. It's easy to defend but difficult to attack. It's easy to attack without using a strong crossbow. Rouran grassland is full of our army spies. If you want to attack our Han country, you have to go for a year."

"This sea is not good. Qichu has a long coastline, and it is almost impossible to keep it in an all-round way. However, in order to prevent other places, we have to keep it. You can discuss it and see how we should keep it."

Cao Hua was the first to stand up and say:

"The southern port has a special geographical location and must be reinforced to become a new fortress. This is the first stop to deal with the threat from the enemy at sea. It must be reinforced."

"Dongji port doesn't matter, but you can also send troops to garrison as a small military port."

"There is no need for the existence of the Huaishang naval stronghold. There is no need for inland waterways in the future. After all, there are no water bandits worth using inland waterways in our Han country."

Hua Xun quickly stood up and said:

"In the southeast, we should add a new port. In this way, we can avoid the situation that the Mali Navy passed on a large scale, but the Chinese Navy could not find it."

"There is no need to set up a water army stronghold in huaishui, but the entrance to the sea has to be guarded, leaving a water army stronghold. First, it can train troops and garrison troops, and second, it can monitor Qi and Qi. There must be some declining Wang Yexun relatives who want to start a riot."

Wang Si said carelessly:

"If I say, let's expand the original ports, garrison troops and trade. There are great prospects. But I know that those firms engaged in offshore trade make a lot of money."

"Let's talk about Lai Fuxiang. He was poor a few years ago. I went to fight the autumn wind and contributed 1000 liang of silver. Last month, I met shopkeeper su. He was just a laborer and spent 10000 liang of silver."

Zhao Wu curled his mouth and disdained his face:

"You are violating the military order and should be punished by the military law."

Li Kun took a glass of water and sipped it slowly. His tone was full of cadence:

"It's a good thing to set up more ports. You can make money, but you still have to listen to the Lord. The LORD said where there should be ports, there should be ports. Even if you build more ports according to Wang Si, it's useless to have no money to build warships."

Wang Si smiled:

"Not afraid, not afraid of money."
