Chapter 2106 post-war disposal
Yan Rou was captured, but Mo Huba was shot by the rebels and howled bitterly. Seeing this, Xiahou Ba hurriedly shouted: "Stop shooting, Deputy Governor Gao is going to survive."
This statement was valid. The surviving rebels threw away their spears and surrendered. The two leaders captured and injured them, and they no longer had the meaning of perseverance.
After gathering the surrendered soldiers, Xiahou Ba came forward to check Mo Huba's injuries. Seeing that he was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief and shouted back: "Carry the stretcher, the medical soldier, help stop the bleeding, and simply deal with the injury and return to the camp before undergoing surgery."
Mo Huba was the leader of the Murong tribe and the commander of the wartime side. He lived much more than died.
As soon as Cao Xiu finished his work, he chased him with a large group of soldiers and said with a depressed look when he saw this: "I fought bloodyly on the mountain for most of the day but you took the lead. It's so fucking..." Xiahou Ba laughed and said: "Time is luck and fate, there is no way, who will make my life better than you."
Cao Xiu said angrily: "The remaining enemies have been cleared. Go back to the camp to report to Governor Gao."
The two sides merged into one place, crossed mountains and ridges and rushed back to the camp. Gao Shun was waiting outside the camp. When he saw them taking the initiative to meet them, he asked, "How is the battle?"
After the two of them finished their greetings and reported their respective situations, Cao Xiu said: "Deputy Governor, the statistics of the battle situation have not been released yet, but the remaining enemies on the mountain have been cleared and the mastermind has also captured it. Can the defenders at other intersections be withdrawn?"
This is a primeval forest. Even if there are a few fish that miss the net, they can't survive at all.
Gao Shun nodded and said, "Let them withdraw. If you work harder, go up the mountain and take all the prisoners back. Those who are injured should do their best to treat them. Don't forget the rules of the Wei army."
"Here."
Cao Xiu clasped his fists and bowed and turned around.
Gao Shunze turned his head and looked at Yan Rou and smiled, "General Yan, don't be fine."
Yan Rou snorted coldly: "The king and the prince are defeated, and the thief is killed or cut off."
Gao Shun shook his head and said, "It is your Majesty's business to deal with you. My responsibility is to send you to Your Majesty. We will cooperate a little, so don't make any unnecessary misunderstandings. Come and take General Yan down for good care of him, and don't neglect it."
Heroes cherish heroes. Yan Rou's practice of persisting in Yanshan for more than ten years is difficult to understand, but it is also admirable. He deserves treatment that suits his identity. Moreover, Yan Rou can only be considered an enemy general and cannot be considered a rebel, because he has never surrendered to the Great Wei from beginning to end, so Mo Huba is different. He surrendered and rebelled again, and he is a rebel.
After the war, the tail-off was much more troublesome than the battle itself, and there were too many trivial matters to deal with. Cao Xiu was busy until dusk before returning. He brought a soldier in his early twenties into the tent and reported to Gao Shunhui: "Deputy Governor, today our army killed more than 300 rebels, injured more than 2,000 people, captured 25,000 people, and suffered 52 casualties, one-third of whom were accidentally stepped on air and fell into a ditch."
Gao Shun, who has always been serious, burst into laughter and said, "Thank you for your hard work, tell the soldiers to walk carefully in the future. It is also strange to fall into the ditch."
Such small casualties are the first time that the Wei army has been fighting for many years. Cao Xiu was also a little smiled and pulled the soldier behind him and said, "Deputy Governor Xian Yufu was killed by this man. He shot the head cleanly and neatly."
"Oh..." Gao Shun became interested and asked, "What's your name?"
Sharpshooters are rare, and they are all treasures. In order to maximize their power, Gao Shun specially set up a sharp gun battalion during the training of the recruits, with Chen Xiaozi personally acting as the instructor. Everyone in the sharp gun battalion was sniper.
The soldier said nervously: "Report to the deputy governor, the youngest is called Erniu, a native of Shanggu County. When he was a child, he used a slingshot to drive sheep, so..." Gao Shun smiled and said: "It's a talent. He was assigned to the magic gun camp and handed it over to Xiao Jianzi Chen to train it well. The army cleaned up. After two days, he would withdraw his troops and return to the city. He asked Xiao Jianzi to come to see me. It's time to wake up after sleeping for a whole day."
Last night, Blind Chen ran away with the speaker all night, but did not participate in the battle today. He called Blind Chen over and advised him to rush back to Yangxu City to report the battle situation to Su Ze. The rest of the army returned for two days of rest.
On the way back, there were both surrendered and wounded soldiers, and they couldn't get fast. The army walked for a full ten days before reaching Yangxu City.
Su Ze personally went out of the city to greet him, placed the triumphal army outside the city, and rushed back to the governor's mansion to meet Cao Ang.
Gao Shun and his friends came to the study room and bowed to Cao Ang who was sitting at the table and said, "I will meet your Majesty."
Cao Ang put down his book and looked up and smiled, "Gaoqing, thank you for your hard work."
Gao Shun said: "I dare not speak of my hardship when I serve Your Majesty."
Cao Ang stood up and smiled and said, "I have read the battle report. I've done a pretty job. After this battle, the Mengzhou grassland will no longer rebel. Gao Aiqing, I want to hear your opinions on the handling of the surrendered soldiers."
The number of prisoners captured in this battle was as high as 20,000, including both Han and Xianbei people. It was also a considerable wealth for the Wei Dynasty, which was short of people. It must be properly placed. If there is no food to be placed, people will still rebel.
Gao Shun thought, "It is safest to move all the prisoners to the pass. After all, most of them are Xianbei people, but this requires a considerable risk. If the prisoners are unwilling to go, or do not believe in the court's policies, it is easy to cause riots. After all, they are prisoners and have little trust in the court. The prisoners cannot guarantee whether the court will move them into the pass or massacre. Therefore, I think they should give it a compromise and impose the nobles or people with certain influence in Yingzhou, and the remaining ordinary herders will be placed on the spot and dispatched migrant officials to manage them. They can feel more at ease on their own territory."
Cao Ang nodded and said, "Your idea coincides with Governor Su. Let the aftermath be handled by Governor Su. As for the two rebel leaders, Mo Huba killed them directly in front of the prisoners. The rebels should have the consequences of the rebels. Yan Rou escorted them to the capital and handed them over to the Supreme Emperor."
Unlike Mo Huba who openly rebelled, Yan Rou was a general of Yuan. Now that he was captured, the last little force of Yuan’s army was lost. When the enemy was destroyed, he should show his benevolence and righteousness. He would save his life to prove to the aristocratic families and the pseudo-Han that the court was a benevolent and righteous army, so as to dispel the fear in the hearts of some people and maximize their interests.
I believe Cao Cao thought so too.
"Here."
Gao Su and the other two held their fists to take the order, and Gao Shun asked again: "Do you want to see Yan Rou?"
Cao Ang thought, "Forget it, there is no need to see you."
After the discussion, the generals left. In the evening, Cao Ang killed chickens and sheep to reward the three armies. The prisoners also enjoyed the long-awaited delicacies.
The next morning, Gao Shun took Mo Huba to the prisoner-of-war camp and announced in public that Mo Huba's crime was beheaded on the spot. No matter how much Mo Huba pleaded for mercy, it was useless. Before the butcher's knife fell, he was incontinent.
He ordered his personal soldiers to carry Mo Huba's body away. Gao Shun named it in public and found all the leaders of Murong's troops, totaling more than 1,200 people, all of whom were sent to Yingzhou.
Mo Huba's blood was not dry, and these leaders were afraid of following in Mo Huba's footsteps and dared not resist. They accepted the arrangements obediently. The remaining ordinary soldiers rushed back to Murong territory soon to obey the placement of the governor's mansion and distributed pasture livestock to live and work in peace.
