Forced To Start The Game, Summon A Hundred Thousand Snow Dragon Riders

"His Majesty."

Above the court hall, Xiang Yu, who has never said a word, came out, bowed to Li Xiu and saluted, and said: "In the Battle of Tongguan, Fanyang, Pinlu, Shuofang, Hexi, and Longyou were all defeated and their troops were lost." The imperial court should dispatch troops as soon as possible to completely pacify the Wulu feudal towns and not give them a chance to breathe."

Send troops again?

Baiguan frowned.

This has just finished a great battle, and the army has not been rested yet, so this feather proposed to send troops again?

This man is really a war madman.

However, Li Xiu on the throne nodded, "What General Xiang said makes sense."

"If we let them recover, I'm afraid it will add a bit of resistance to the conquest."

"Xiang Yu, I order you to lead one hundred thousand snow dragon riders to sweep away the three towns of Fanyang, Shuofang and Pinglu at the fastest speed."

"The last general leads the decree!"

Xiang Yu's voice was sonorous and powerful.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War."

Li Xiu looked at the Minister of War again.

"The minister is here!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War was summoned by Li Xiu, and he immediately became full of energy, and his voice became much louder.

"You lead 200,000 iron eagle warriors to pacify Hexi and Longyou towns."

"Minister, obey the order!"

The Minister of War's eyes lit up.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty actually trusts him so much, and rest assured that he will hand over 200,000 iron eagle warriors to lead him!

Is this intentional to give him a second life as a veteran?

However, Li Xiu did this only because, in the Battle of Tongguan, the Hexi and Longyou towns suffered the most losses, and there were very few troops left. what a mistake.

As for the tough bones, Li Xiu handed over to Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu is good at commanding cavalry in battle, if 200,000 iron eagle warriors are handed over to Xiang Yu, it will slow him down instead.

At this time, the Minister of the Household Department suddenly came out, "Your Majesty, before the army goes out, there is one more problem that must be resolved first."

"Oh?"

Li Xiu raised his eyebrows, "Let's listen."

"In the Battle of Tongguan, the imperial court won a complete victory. Millions of rebels were wiped out, and a total of 400,000 rebels became captives of the imperial court."

"These 400,000 captives cost a lot of food and pay every day. If the 400,000 captives are not dealt with first, the imperial court may not be able to support the expedition."

Hubu Shangshu said in a deep voice.

All the officials were lost in thought.

The rations needed for 400,000 captives are undoubtedly an extremely large amount.

Moreover, leaving such a large number of captives alone is like a time bomb, which will explode at some point.

In the event of a mutiny, the problem will be even greater.

The 400,000 rebellious troops are enough to pose a threat to the safety of the capital.

Even Li Xiu felt a little tricky. It was indeed a problem to deal with the 400,000 surrendered troops.

Impossible to put directly.

Once released, these surrendered soldiers are likely to continue to cause chaos.

"The last general suggests, kill them all!"

A cold light flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes, "Since the imperial court can't support the 400,000 captives, they should kill them all to avoid future troubles!"

When the officials of the court heard the words, there was an expression of disbelief in their eyes.

That's 400,000 people.

Kill them all?

What kind of heinous act of cruelty is this?

But Xiang Yu said it so lightly?

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible."

Doctor Yushi directly knelt down on Yudao, "It is so cruel to kill 400,000 people. This will be recorded in the annals of history and bear the eternal infamy!"

"I implore Your Majesty to think twice!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War also frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I also think that people's lives should not be treated like this."

"How can a woman be benevolent when marching and fighting?"

Xiang Yu's expression was still indifferent, and he said: "If there is a mutiny that endangers His Majesty's safety, who will bear the heavy responsibility?"

"This……"

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, and suddenly fell silent.

Xiang Yu shook his head, "So, the best way is to do nothing and keep killing them all, leaving no one behind!"

"Killing and killing soldiers is the next strategy."

At this time, Li Xiu on the throne finally spoke, "What's more, in the final analysis, these soldiers are all the people of our Tang Dynasty. Is it the way of a king to kill them all?"

"Xiang Yu, I hope you will use your murderous nature on foreigners, not on the people of Tang Dynasty."

Xiang Yu was startled, and immediately knelt down on one knee, and solemnly said: "Little General, please follow your Majesty's instruction!"

Only then did Li Xiu nodded in satisfaction.

Xiang Yu is brutal and easy to kill. This can be seen from the slaughter of 200,000 Qin soldiers.

Moreover, Xiang Yu fought all his life and slaughtered countless cities. In Li Xiu's view, this is not a good habit and needs to be corrected.

"How about this."

Li Xiu thought for a while, and seemed to have come up with a solution.

"The 400,000 soldiers were divided into 40 battalions, and sent to Lingnan, Huguang, Huainan and other places to open up wasteland and establish military settlements."

"Let these captives open up fertile land for our Tang court and increase food production."

Hearing Li Xiu's words, all the officials' eyes lit up.

This method is wonderful!

In this way, the 400,000 soldiers were completely dispersed and sent to unfamiliar places, greatly reducing the possibility of mutiny.

Secondly, the captives reclaimed wasteland, which not only increased food production for the Tang Dynasty, but also solved the problem of the captives’ own rations. With enough food to eat and fill their stomachs, who would want to rebel?

Thirdly, the household department no longer has to worry about the feeding of these captives.

This move can be described as killing three birds with one stone!

"Your Majesty is holy!"

Minister of Military Affairs, Xiang Yu and other civil and military ministers all knelt down to the ground.

Dealing with such a difficult problem of 400,000 captives, it was unexpected that His Majesty would think of a proper way to deal with it in just an instant.

After sweeping away the feudal vassals and towns all over the world, Datang will definitely be able to regain its prosperity!

...

Hebei Road, Youzhou City.

The mansion of Fan Yang Jiedushi.

"Pei Lang, it's time to drink the medicine."

Pei Hong was lying on the bed, his whole body was covered with bandages, beside him, there seemed to be a beautiful concubine who was serving and drinking medicine for Xiao Xin.

In the Battle of Tongguan, although Pei Hong escaped with his life, he was seriously injured and only half his life remained.

However, he had just drank half a bowl of medicine when a general hurried in.

"Jiedushi, the latest urgent report!"

The general fell to his knees on the ground, and said urgently: "The imperial court takes Xiang Yu as commander, and leads 100,000 cavalry to conquer Fanyang, Shuofang and Pinglu towns!"

"Our Fan Yang has become the first target! Xiang Yu led the iron cavalry and came directly to our Youzhou City!"

"Pfft!"

Pei Hongcai spit out all the medicine he had just taken into his mouth, his face turned ashen, "Emperor, this is to kill everything!"

Although he expected that Li Xiu would definitely send a large army to conquer them, he never expected that this army would come so fast!
