Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

Chapter 172 Expansion of the Army

Pei Lin didn't know how to answer him for a while, and after a long silence, he said: "It's hard not to agree with the prince's point of view. If our soldiers are captured by the Xibing soldiers, there is no possibility of them surviving."

Xiao Yao sneered: "Does it need to be said? If I was caught by them, the skull would have to become their wine vessel. Why is the general hesitating? Just order them all to be killed. If you don't want to dig a hole, then Just drive them directly into the Yellow River, throw them into the river to feed the fish, it's not a waste!"

Pei Linzhi frowned and remained silent. Killing him would indeed prevent future troubles, but in doing so, it would go against Xiao Yu's will.

Before leaving Jianye, Xiao Yu had an in-depth discussion with him on this issue.

Xiao Yu did not advocate the killing of prisoners. He believed that a soldier, whether Han or Hu, was not only a soldier, but also a father, son and brother.

Few people are naturally fond of killing and war. The reason why some fight is for justice and survival, and some are to satisfy some people's selfish desires, so they have to bring up swords and guns to the battlefield. Most people are innocent.

Pei Linzhi knew that Xiao Yu was sympathetic to the world, and his thoughts were much ahead of the times. He even wanted to influence the barbarians through enlightenment, so that everyone could let go of their hatred and coexist peacefully.

More importantly, Xiao Yu didn't want him to cause too much murder.

Pei Linzhi actually didn't agree with Xiao Yu's point of view. He had dealt with the Rong people all these years, and he knew that they were different from the southern barbarians.

Even if they wanted to be educated, they would not be able to be educated overnight. It would take at least several decades to completely assimilate the Rong people.

And these Xirong soldiers who have licked blood on their knife edges are definitely the biggest safety hazard and cannot be kept.

Seeing that he still didn't speak, Xiao Yao said, "General, when did you hesitate so much? It's not convenient for you to do it, so I'll do it! If the emperor brother blames me in the future, I will take care of myself."

Pei Linzhi said: "It is absolutely impossible to drive into the Yellow River, because the people in the lower reaches still have to live."

Xiao Yao was relieved when he heard his tone, and said with a smile: "Then don't rush to the river. I'll deal with it. General Pei, just pretend you don't know."

After Xiao Yao went out, Ji Hai asked, "Master, how do you report this matter to His Majesty?"

Pei Linzhi looked at him: "Ji Hai, do you think Master's handling is appropriate?"

Ji Hai said: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with it. Just like what Master said, if our people are arrested, the Xibing soldiers will definitely not let us go, and they may even be eaten by flesh and blood."

Pei Linzhi nodded: "Yes, the barbarians in the north are different from you. They are born killers. Even if you want to educate them, it won't take tens or hundreds of years." These words were obviously meant to appease Ji Hai.

After a while, Ji Hai asked, "Master, what shall we do next?"

Pei Linzhi said: "Stop and rest. The wounded soldiers need to rest. The horses that have just been captured need to be trained and run-in. You have also seen that Xirong has more cavalry. When the infantry fights a prepared battle, they can still win with formation. If the opponent comes with light cavalry If we don’t have time to form an army, then people will kill us with swords. We must train the captured horses into cavalry.”

Ji Hai cupped his fists and knelt on one knee: "Master, I am willing to lead a cavalry."

Pei Linzhi said: "Yes, go and count the horses and soldiers first, and hurry up to practice."

"Yes!"

There were far more than [-] cavalry in the army. Pei Lin had long expected that horses would be captured in the battle with the Rong people. During the training, he had trained [-] cavalry, but there were still [-] cavalry without mounts.

Now that so many horses have been newly captured, these soldiers can finally become real cavalry.However, horses and people have to get in touch with each other, and this is the purpose of training.

When Pei Linzhi wrote the victory report to Xiao Yu, he decided not to report the captives to him, but only to report the good news. Those captives who were killed should be regarded as enemies wiped out on the battlefield.Xiao Yu is too benevolent, he will definitely be sad after knowing this incident.

Mu Kun led [-] remnants and fled back to Chang'an in a hurry.Emperor Xirong Yuan Tan was furious, and Mu Kun, the god of war, was defeated!It is simply unreasonable!What kind of heavenly soldiers and generals is Anguo's army? Even Mu Kun would be defeated.

As the god of war, Mu Kun has never been defeated, so he has won the favor of Yuan Tan. He is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and never takes other colleagues seriously. You must have taken the enemy lightly and underestimated the enemy, so you were defeated! It’s just an army, and so many soldiers and horses were sacrificed in vain.”

Hearing this, Mu Kun glared fiercely at the person who spoke, and said, "Master He, don't you want to spout blood! Since Xiao Yu replaced Xiao Yi, An Jun's strength has improved by more than one level. And they also have a very weird The weapon, which I encountered in Shangluo County before, used something that could make a loud noise to directly blast the city gate open."

Yuan Tan became serious: "Is this true? Can you see what kind of weapon it is?"

Mu Kun shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't seen it before."

Yuan Tan continued to ask: "Shangluo, Tongguan and Tongguan City used the same method to break the city gates?"

Mu Kun said, "Exactly."

Yuan Tan's face suddenly turned a little pale, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead: "You mean, Chang'an City will not escape the fate of being broken down in the future?"

No one in the hall dared to speak, and the ministers were all aware of the seriousness of the problem. Tongguan had been lost, and Chang'an should be next. Is An Jun really as good as Mu Kun said?If that's the case, isn't Chang'an also in danger?

After a while, Mu Kun said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to defend Chang'an to the death and not give the An army a chance to break through the city."

Yuan Tan said coldly: "You'd better be like this! Go and find out, what exactly broke the city gate one after another!"

Mu Kun replied: "Follow the order!"

A minister suggested: "Your Majesty, the An army has arrived with a hundred thousand troops, and it is now approaching Chang'an. If the An army arrives in Chang'an, it will be too late. The minister thought that General Mu should lead the army out of the city to meet the An army before the An army arrived." The enemy defeated the An army outside the city of Chang'an."

Mu Kun was so angry that he was furious: "Lord Lu, I only have [-] soldiers in my hands now. Is this going to ask us to die?"

Master Lu said: "General Mu didn't say that the enemy was insidious and cunning, and you lost the opportunity to end up in such a defeat. Since the opponent is mainly infantry, if they are not prepared, they will not be able to form an formation in a short time. The general can lead the light cavalry Go sneak attack."

Mu Kun said: "The problem is that the An army also has cavalry. Besides, we have lost so many horses, and the An army has at least [-] cavalry. How can there be any luck? It is better to wait for the army to come back and then discuss."

Lord Lu sneered: "General Mu has always been known as the god of war, and he has never been defeated. Now that he has lost once, he is frightened. Isn't it the general's strength to win more with less? Facing An Jun, he is so unbearable. gone?"

Yuan Tan got up irritably, and said: "Mu Kun listens to the order. From today onwards, it is convenient to station outside Chang'an City. Without a call, you are not allowed to enter the city!"

After hearing this, Mu Kun knew that the emperor began to doubt himself, so he could only respectfully answer: "Observe the edict!"
