Zhao Yun saw that Qiang Qu's face was different, and immediately thought of the reason, so he said: "Cavalry battles are different from tough battles, so you don't have to worry too much!" Qiangqu

Shan Yu didn't expect Zhao Yun to say this, and couldn't help but glance at Zhao Yun gratefully. At the same time, I was thinking in my heart: This General Zhao Yun is not only brave and extraordinary, but what is even more rare is to treat people well, and it will be a good thing to work under him in the future!

"Zilong, do you think there is a way to solve the Xiutu Department and the Subu Ancient Capital Hou Department as soon as possible?" Zhang Fei asked, a little impatient in his tone.

Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you choose a few obedient Xianbei captives to persuade you to surrender, what do you think?" Qiang

Qu Shan Yu and Zhang Fei thought about it, and both thought that this idea was good, so they both agreed.

Seeing that both of them agreed, Zhao Yun immediately sent someone to handle the matter.

At this time, the Xiutu Department and the Xubu Ancient Capital Hou Department were under the siege of the Qiangqu army and the northern army. Although they can hold on for the time being, this situation is unlikely to last long, and if nothing else, it is impossible for them to hold out for too long on the issue of food and grass alone. Now, the hopes of King Hutu and Subu Guduhou are all pinned on the Xianbei people. They were under siege and did not yet know that the Xianbei army had been defeated.

Although King Hutu and Subu Duhou did not know the news from the outside world, the delay in the arrival of the Xianbei army, which was supposed to arrive long ago, could not help but make them have a bad premonition in their hearts.

King Hutu and Subu were waiting for news from the Xianbei people. On this day, Xianbei people finally have news. However, this news made the hearts of King Hutu and Subu Guduhou fall into an ice cave.

There were three Xianbei people who came, but these three Xianbei people were not sent by the Xianbei people, but by the Northern Army. They brought one thing with them, the handsome banner of the Xianbei army. And they also told King Hutu and Subu Guduhou that the 200,000 Xianbei army had collapsed in front of the iron cavalry of the northern army.

In an instant, King Hutu and Subu Guduhou only felt dizzy in front of them, and almost fell to the ground. King Hutu and Subu Gudu were silent for a long time, and then King Hutu asked with a decadent expression, "What does the Northern Army plan to do with us?"

"General Zhao Yun said, as long as you lay down your arms and surrender, the Northern Expeditionary Army promises not to kill any of your two divisions!"

King Hutu couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then asked, "Don't kill any of us?" Does it include me and Subgudu?

"Of course, although the status of King Hutu and the ancient capital of Subu will not be guaranteed, the two of them can definitely spend their lives comfortably in the place controlled by the Northern Expeditionary Army."

When the two heard this, they looked at each other, and they both saw despair in each other's eyes, and under the current situation, they no longer had any possibility of turning the tables! The two of them couldn't help but sigh, and then King Hutu said, "Good! I and Subu Guduhou are willing to accept General Zhao Yun's conditions and surrender! As soon as he said this, King Hutu seemed to be ten years old in an instant.

On the same day, King Hutu and Subu Gudu, accompanied by dozens of retinues, went to the camp of Qiangqu and knelt in front of Zhao Yun to surrender. What reassured the two of them was that the Northern Army did not make it difficult and insult them from beginning to end.

Immediately, both armies laid down their arms and lined up on a meadow outside the barracks, waiting anxiously for the northern army to deal with them.

With the surrender of the Hutu and the ancient capital of Xubu, the battle of Northern Xinjiang came to an end. In this war, the Northern Army showed a strong force that made the Huns heartbroken, and Qiangqu Shan Yu made it clear that he would completely obey the orders of the Northern General, and the entire Xiongnu army would obey the orders of the Northern General.

Since Qiangqu Shan Yu had already expressed his attitude, how to deal with the Xiutu Department and the Xubu Ancient Capital Hou Department who laid down their arms was decided by Zhao Yun, the northern commander of the Northern Army.

In ancient times, there were generally three ways to deal with prisoners in foreign wars, one was to kill them all, which was extremely cruel, but the victory was simple and effortless, and the blow to the defeated side was also extremely heavy, and it often took one or two decades for the defeated side to recover; The second is to clearly mark the price, so that the defeated side will redeem the prisoners, although this practice can obtain a lot of benefits in the short term, but the disadvantages are also obvious, the defeated side can recover considerable combat effectiveness in a very short period of time, in the long run, this practice is not worth the loss; The last method is to be very generous in letting all the captives go, which is actually the most stupid of all, and it is typical to save face, and the defeated side can recover at little cost. Sadly, for thousands of years of our country's history, the vast majority has taken the last approach.

However, the issue of the surrender of the Hutu and the Subu Gudu Hou is not exactly the same as the issue of foreign captives. Because the Southern Xiongnu were completely subordinated to the Han Dynasty most of the time, and at this time, the Qiangqu Shan Yu of the Southern Xiongnu and its subordinates were not only regarded as Han Chen, but also subordinates of Chen Chu, the general of the expedition to the north. Therefore, the surrender of the two armies of the Southern Xiongnu can be treated as the surrender of the civil war to a considerable extent. And the most common way to deal with prisoners of the civil war is to co-opt.

Regarding this issue, Zhang Fei had already explained to Chen Chu before he came. At that time, Chen Chu also granted Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei the right to collect and surrender the army. It should be noted here that in the Northern Army, only Chen Chu has the right to incorporate and expand the army, which is a precautionary measure to prevent some generals from supporting their own troops, of course, if Chen Chu authorizes it, the generals can also incorporate or expand the army to a certain extent.

As for how to deal with the problem of how to deal with the surrender of the two armies, Zhao Yun decided after a little discussion with Zhang Fei that among the 70,000 Xiongnu prisoners, young and middle-aged people who met the requirements of the Northern Expeditionary Army would be selected and organized into a separate army for training, and then join the battle sequence of the Northern Expeditionary Army after the overall requirements were met. Of course, while this matter is being implemented, it must also be reported to Chen Chu.

Zhao Yun's decision couldn't help but make Qiang Qu breathe a sigh of relief, and what he was most worried about was that the Northern Army had killed these captives.

After making this decision, Zhao Yun immediately ordered more than 70,000 Xiongnu prisoners to be temporarily imprisoned in the garrison of the ancient capital of Subu. The specific integration process will not begin until a few days later.

After dealing with this matter, Zhao Yun said to Qiang: "Shan Yu, the corpses on the grassland are still troublesome for Shan Yu to send someone to collect the burial." "。 The reason why Zhao Yun entrusted this matter to Qiangqu was because Qiangqu currently had the most abundant manpower in his hands.

Qiang Qu immediately nodded and said: "It is a glorious thing to collect the bones of the warriors, and it is my duty to Qiang Qu!" Don't worry, general, I'll lead my men to the grassland.

After saying that, Qiangqu stood up and was about to leave the big tent immediately. Zhao Yun hurriedly stopped him, "Shan Yu." There were too many corpses on the grassland, so it was better to bring more ox carts and wagons. When he said this, Zhao Yun seemed to think of those comrades who died on the battlefield, and his expression was a little gloomy.

Qiang Qu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Understood, the general can rest assured." Then he hugged his fist at Zhao Yun and walked out of the big tent.

After Qiangqu came out of the big tent, he immediately ordered the general to gather 50,000 horsemen, and ordered all the ox carts and carriages of the Hou Department of the ancient capital of Xubu to be gathered, and then personally led the 50,000 cavalry to drive thousands of ox carts and carriages, under the guidance of the guide of the Northern Army, to the battlefield that had fallen silent.

After traveling for about an hour, Qiangqu led people to the location.

When they saw the scene of the battlefield, everyone froze and no one spoke for a long time. There was a look of shock on everyone's face. Because what is presented in front of everyone is a tragic scene that no one could have imagined.

After being stunned for a while, Qiang Qu, who reacted first, ordered to start collecting the corpses. The Xiongnu army then divided into dozens of teams and began to collect corpses on the battlefield.

At present, the vast majority of the corpses left on the battlefield are Xianbei people, and a considerable part of the corpses of the Northern Army have been brought back by the Northern Army, but there are still many corpses of soldiers of the Northern Army on the battlefield. Whenever the Huns found the corpse of a soldier of the Northern Army, they would immediately show a look of awe on their faces. The Huns would carefully put the corpses of the soldiers of the Northern Army into the carriages.

Seeing such a tragic scene, every Hun involuntarily felt a sense of awe rise in their hearts. Before this, there may have been some complaints about surrendering to the northern army, but after that, these complaints have all disappeared. The hero-worshipping Huns felt that surrendering to such a strong man was not only not a shame, but an honor.

The war had ended, the civil strife of the Xiongnu had been calmed, and after a few days of repairing in the clouds, Qiangqu Shan Yu decided to lead his troops back to Wuyuan.

Before leaving, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei both came to see him off. Qiangqu asked Zhao Yun to bring a message to General Zhengbei for him, saying that he would go to Bingzhou at an appropriate time and bow to General Zhengbei. Zhao Yun happily agreed.

Qiangqu Shan Yu led the Xiongnu army to leave Yunzhong and return to Wuyuan, while Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei all stayed in Yunzhong, and there were still many things to deal with in Yunzhong, especially those prisoners, and the northern army could not leave for a while.

Among the captives captured by the Northern Army, in addition to more than 70,000 Huns, there were nearly 10,000 Xianbei people. How to deal with the Xiongnu captives, Zhao Yun and they already have a plan, and they are already implementing it. And how to deal with the Xianbei captives, it doesn't take Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to worry about it, Zhang Fei has already sent a book to Bingzhou, please ask Chen Chu. How to deal with it in the end, only listen to Chen Chu's orders.

And the state, the assassin of the history of the house.

"Zijing, Yuanzhi, Zilong and Yide came to ask for instructions, how to deal with the Xianbei captives? What do you think? Chen Chu asked with a smile.

Xu Shu immediately hugged his fist at Chen Chu and said: "Lord, if this Xianbei captive is released, it will be a troubled tiger; If it is killed, it will damage the reputation of the lord. It's better to let these barbarian captives go to the mines, what does the lord think?

Lu Su's eyes lit up suddenly, and he answered: "Wonderful! Yuan Zhi's plan can be described as killing two birds with one stone, not only does not damage the reputation of the lord, but also can get nearly 10,000 free strong laborers. These days, Lao Tie complains in my ear all day long, saying that there are too few manpower, and it is really difficult to increase the production of several newly started iron mines! Now is the right time to send these captives to the mines. The old iron in Lu Su's mouth is Wang Gang, an old blacksmith from Longhu Village, who is now the head of the mining, iron smelting and weapons workshop in the area controlled by Chen Chu. This Wang Gang was not only an excellent blacksmith, but also had outstanding management talents, so Chen Chu made Wang Gang the head of the mine, iron smelting and weapons workshop. The upper echelons of the Northern Expeditionary Army generally called him Lao Tie, while the common people called him General Wang.
