Everyone was shocked, knowing that Du Jia was serious and he rarely repeated one thing, but once he repeated it, it means that this thing is extremely important, and it is best not to challenge his bottom line.

The surrendered officers and soldiers were frightened when they saw Li Kui and others rushing over with fierceness, thinking that they would definitely die. After all, they did kill many soldiers from Liangshan in this battle, and it was common for these so-called people in the world to kill and set fire, and massacre prisoners was no problem. It is rumored that the troops of King Tian Hu of Jin and King Wang Qing of Chu often do this, especially Tian Hu is said to like to eat people.

Therefore, when they saw Du Jiayan's orders not to kill prisoners, they all breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other and were sweating profusely, and felt like they had walked around the gate of hell. Therefore, when they were asked later whether they were willing to surrender, most of them hurriedly agreed, which was beyond the expectations of the leaders of Liangshan.

This battle was difficult. There were 10,000 soldiers and dozens of generals. In the end, there were only less than 5,000 soldiers alive and only more than ten generals. The war loss ratio reached an astonishing 50%, and the Liangshan side was not inferior. When Du Jia took his people away, there were more than 3,000 people on Taohua Mountain. Now, in addition to more than 1,000 elderly, weak, sick and disabled women, Li Zhong, Zhou, and Cao Zheng, and others went down the mountain early, there were only less than 500 soldiers alive on the mountain, and each was injured, and the war loss ratio was higher than that of the officers and soldiers.

This also made Qin Minglu Zhishen Shi Jin and Hua Rong's senior generals sigh. In everyone's eyes, the officers and soldiers of the court seemed to be representatives of greed, lazy, and fear of death. They were all good at bullying the people. However, when they really fought, they were weak first. Especially after going down the mountain and easily took down the three prefectures such as Mengzhou, they deepened their concepts. However, after a battle, they found that once the officers and soldiers fought to their lives, they were still very combat-effective. After all, they were all professional soldiers, training, discipline, physical fitness, etc. were far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Especially the elite soldiers in each prefecture are completely different from the "local soldiers" who work hard in their spare time and are completely different from the "local soldiers" who are strong when they are busy. Most of the rebel forces face more of the latter's third-rate soldiers, so they all develop well. Only when they develop to a certain extent threatens local rule can they see the real army.

This is why the world is in chaos at this time, with many strong thieves and strong men, but there are only a few who can really become bigger and stronger, and they are all very low-key. Few people dare to rob the state and seize the prefectures and "borrow some food" is the limit. Even if they are as strong as Erlongshan, this level is no exception, because they all know the limit of the court and are unwilling to touch it easily. Local officials also adhere to the principle that it is better to have less than more things, so they can be at peace.

So although the court is so dark, only Tian Hu and Fang La are the three families who dare to provoke the banner of rebellion and openly capture the prefecture. Moreover, it is because the artist emperor's riots in recent years are so unreasonable. Some people in the world still don't understand the reason, including many people on Liangshan. However, when they saw this team of officers and soldiers who "strike Taohua Mountain" today, they were shocked by the strong combat power that burst out after being ordered to die.

Only then did they understand how powerful the strategy and command power used by Du Jia to capture the three prefectures before. Perhaps many of the proud achievements of the recent past are not because they are very capable, but because the leader is a tiger. Many people suddenly had this idea in their hearts, and there were fewer voices of clamoring to attack Qingzhou Prefecture.

After all, there are 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers in Qingzhou Prefecture. The last time Sun Wanchun and He Yuan brought a total of 20,000, and they still have 40,000 or 50,000. They have an absolute advantage. How easy is it to conquer? Even if they can defeat them, how much does it cost to pay? If the strength of Qingzhou is almost exhausted, then what is the meaning of doing this? Wouldn’t it be for others to make wedding clothes?

Among the high-level generals here, except for Li Kui who only knows fighting, even Qin Ming, Shi Jin, Lu Zhishen and others are just brave and generous, not fools who don’t know how to advance and retreat. Naturally, they will not do such things that have far greater risks than benefits.

At this time, someone also found the team of Li Zhong, Zhou Tong and Cao Zheng. Du Jia asked someone to clean the battlefield and pay tribute to the brothers who died in battle this time. While letting everyone, especially those brothers in Taohua Mountain, rest and recuperate, they summoned senior generals to discuss the next action. After all, the siege of Taohua Mountain was resolved, and there were three cultivators in Dezhou, Ping An Mengzhou, and there were also troops sent by King Tian Hu of Jin. The two sides had publicly had a disagreement at the last time at the Martial Arts Heroes Conference in Yangzhou. Tian Hu's side naturally hated Liangshan and wanted to take the opportunity to seize these three cities. It is conceivable that the pressure Lin Chong faced was definitely not under Wu Song.

Du Jia expected it was right. At this time, Lin Chong was in dire straits. It turned out that after the news of the court's order to lead Hu Yanzhuo to attack Liangshan reached the Prince of Jin's Mansion, Tian Hu immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss the matter.

His younger brother Tian Bao was the first to jump out to speak, and after talking about how Du Jia had stolen the limelight and suppressed his side in the previous conference, he strongly suggested taking this opportunity to snatch these three cunning bodies and kill all the people from Liangshan, so that the world can know the power of their King of Jin.

At this time, Tian Hu had occupied the five prefectures, seven counties and fifty-six counties in Jizhou. His subordinates were millions of people, and naturally there were many heroes. The Privy Councilor Niu Wenzhong advised: "What the two kings said is very good. There are three major benefits to sending troops this time, and I am also discussing it."

Tian Huxi said: "Your dear, I am just about to hear what the benefits are."

Niu Wenzhong folded his fingers calmly and said, "One, the second king was humiliated by the Liangshan guy last time, which was also the shame of all the King of Jin. This time, we can avenge the previous shame; Second, let the whole world understand the power of my King of Jin’s mansion, and the number of people who dare to come to plunder the tiger beard in the future will be reduced, and the number of people who take the initiative to respect will increase; Third, the time when the bandits of Liangshan seized the peaceful Mengzhou and other three prefectures is still short, and people will inevitably be dissatisfied and the defense is not strict. This time, we can at least win one. This will expand our power to Qingzhou and serve as a bridgehead for continued expansion. It has great strategic significance. Now, neither the King of Chu nor the King of Wu has been able to leave the state. If we can do it, it is difficult to estimate the increase in the reputation of the king."

After talking about the first place in compassion and the first to save suffering, let me talk about the last of the four great Bodhisattvas, that is, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who is the first to volunteer. This Bodhisattva is in charge of hell, and the ten palaces of Yama are actually his subordinates. He once made a great wish that "hell will not be empty, and he will not become a Buddha" and must save all sinners. It is really admirable. His temple is in Jiuhua Mountain, Anhui. Whoever has an old man who dies and wants them to be reincarnated safely can worship.
