Chapter 697

When Shang Ji was troubled by the mess in Manchester City, Ju Luohou, who had fled overnight, had just stopped to catch his breath.

"My lord, I have temporarily thrown off the pursuers!"

A Xianbei military general with a dusty face offered a water bottle to Ju Luohou, and reported at the same time.

Ju Luohou raised the kettle and poured it wildly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked with some uncertainty: "Did you really throw it away?"

"Don't worry, my lord, this is the hinterland of Xianbei in the central part, and it is our old nest. Even if the Han people have great abilities, it is impossible to find us here!"

The Xianbei general was confident and boasted.

Ju Luohou nodded, he didn't really care about whether he really got rid of the pursuers, the terrible changes in the past few days had almost broken his spirit.

First, the elder brother who had always loved Youjia suddenly went mad and massacred the people of Xianbei on a large scale. Immediately afterwards, he put himself under house arrest, led the troops to a decisive battle with the Han people, and was defeated and killed. The city of Manchester, the core town of Xianbei, fell.

Although because of Ke Bineng's order, the remaining 10,000 Xianbei troops in the city were dominated by Ju Luohou, but Ju Luohou himself didn't know what to do next.

He even had a faint impulse in his heart to directly lead the troops back and die with the Han army!

However, the final sense of responsibility drove him not to do this. He was already Xianbei's last hope. Although this hope was extremely slim, he could not give up lightly even for the sake of Xianbei's survival.

Although he intends to persevere, Ju Luohou is really at a loss. His elder brother is far superior to him in both force and talent. But Kebi was able to lead an army of millions and was defeated by the Han people in the end. What could he do?

"My lord, the only plan for the present is to bear the humiliation and bear the burden, so as to make a better future!" The Xianbei general also saw Ju Luohou's confusion, and immediately stepped forward and said.

"Huh? How do you say that?"

"My lord, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Even the Great Chanyu of Maodun also surrendered to Donghu and enshrined the beauty of BMW? In this case, why don't we learn from Maodun Shanyu and temporarily surrender to the Han people, and use the plan? "

"What about surrendering to the Han people?" Ju Luohou frowned. The Xianbei people have never paid tribute to the Han people in history. Do you want to start this precedent by yourself?

According to the normal historical trend, his elder brother Ke Bineng would become a vassal to Cao Wei after the establishment of Cao Wei, and then turned against him, repeatedly fighting and making peace until Ke Bineng was assassinated to death.

Prior to this, Xianbei had never formally surrendered to the Han people. When Tan Shihuai unified Xianbei, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty sent someone to canonize Tan Shikui as king, but Tan Shikui refused. Later, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sent troops to crusade, but was defeated and returned. The three-way army was almost wiped out. At this time, Xianbei's spirit was at its highest, and the ministers naturally resisted very much.

"My lord, what's so embarrassing about this? We Xianbei people were still slaves of the Huns at the beginning? Didn't we dominate the grassland later? What's the point of a momentary submission? As long as our great Xianbei is united, why not revive?"

Ju Luohou frowned slightly, and his heart was a little moved, but his face remained calm.

Seeing this, the general immediately understood Ju Luohou's intentions, and continued to persuade: "The Han people are good at farming but not good at herding. The huge grassland is completely useless to them. It is impossible to control it for a long time. As long as the Han people withdraw their troops, we can completely Make a comeback and reproduce the glory of the Great Xianbei!"

Now Ju Luohou was moved, coughed lightly, and said slowly: "Could it be that we go back and surrender to the Han people?"

"Absolutely not!" The military commander hastily advised.

"My lord, let's not say that the Han man has a grudge against my lord, just look at the man's past behavior style, we must not rely on him!"

Ju Luohou thought for a while when he heard the words, and suddenly woke up, just as the general said, you can't take refuge in Shangji if you take refuge in anyone!

After fighting Shangji for such a long time, even with Xianbei's inefficient intelligence system, he has almost understood the situation of Shangji. Based on Shang Ji's attitude towards Wuhuan, Goguryeo and other foreign races, it is estimated that Ju Luohou would not even be able to save his life if he surrendered to him!

"In your opinion,

To whom is it better for us to surrender? "

"My lord! According to intelligence, the Han army in Xianbei in the central part belongs to three factions. Among them, Mushangji of Hanping Prefecture is the strongest, and he is also the least likely to rely on him. In addition, there are Ding Yuan, governor of Hanyou Prefecture, and Han Yuyang. Governor Gongsun Zan!"

"Among the three, Ding Yuan and Gongsun Zan are similar in power, but Gongsun Zan is very brave and self-willed, so he is not very easy to get along with. Ding Yuan is different. He has no powerful generals under his command and almost relies on surrender. The Wuhuan people support the scene. If we surrender to him, we will definitely be reused.

And we have a blood relationship with the Wuhuan people (the origin of Wuhuan and Xianbei is Donghu), and now we are in a similar situation, and adults use some means to win them over. When the time is right, we can even take advantage of the magpie's nest and seize old man Ding Yuan's foundation for our own use! "

Ju Luohou glanced at the general in surprise, and asked with some doubts: "Gunu, when did you have this insight? You can analyze the situation clearly and logically?"

Ju Luohou remembered that this dog slave was one of Ke Bineng's personal guards, and his combat power was not bad, but his knowledge and strategy were average. The analysis just now was obviously not up to his level.

The general named Quan Nu smiled, cupped his hands and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from my lord. This is what lord Ke Bineng told me before he went to the battle. My lord told me that if he is unfortunately defeated, he should immediately lead his lord out of the city and tell me these words." you."

Ju Luohou was moved when he heard the words, Ke Bineng's majestic face came to mind, and it was only at this time that Ju Luohou really realized Ke Bineng's care!

"My lord, it's not good, my lord, a large-scale Han army was found forty miles ahead!"

Before Ju Luohou's sad emotions brewed, a Xianbei scout suddenly rushed over and reported to Ju Luohou.

"Large-scale Han army? Where did the large-scale Han army come from? Can you see which army it is?" Ju Luohou was shocked when he heard this, and asked quickly.

"My lord, look at its banner, it's Youzhou Inspector Ding!"

"Ding?" Ju Luohou was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Quan Nu, both of them nodded at the same time, and there was a gleam of joy in their eyes.

"Pass down the order, make a grand ceremonial guard, and formally send envoys to Duke Ding to express our sincerity!"

……………………………

Shang Ji didn't know that Ju Luohou, whom he was thinking of, had surrendered to Ding Yuan. At this time, Shang Ji was trying to deal with as many as 500,000 Xianbei prisoners of war!

The gold content of these prisoners of war is extremely high, and they are the essence of the millions of Xianbei troops. Before the demonization, the normal ranks were above the fifth rank, and a few of them were even comparable to the Black Armored Xuan Qi. After the bloody battle, there were also many who advanced. Simply discussing the average rank of the soldiers, it is no better than the surviving two million Pingzhou soldiers. Army low.

If it returns to normal, these 500,000 prisoners of war can be called a strategic force, and Shang Ji can't bear to give up easily.

It's just that the state of these 500,000 Xianbei prisoners of war is really not optimistic.

Stepping into the prisoner-of-war camp, one after another, the prisoners of war sat slumped on the ground. Even in a severely weak state, they still couldn't hide their vicious and brutal aura.

Many people's eyes were blood red, and they let out bursts of ear-piercing roars. From time to time, several people could be seen fighting each other on the ground.

"Brother, is there any effective way to cure them?"

Shang Ji turned around and asked Liu Yi who was accompanying him.

Liu Yi shook his head, and said helplessly: "It's okay to be weak physically. We have already tested it. Taking some restorative pills can basically cure 70% to 80%. The rest can be recovered slowly on your own. But the tyranny of the spirit But we were helpless. We also used the calming medicine, and it was still effective at the time, but the madness became worse as soon as the effect of the medicine wore off. Payne, Feng Xiao, and Baishou have also come to see it, and they also have nothing to do. "

"This is a bit difficult!"

Shang Ji sighed softly to himself. He has tried it before, and using the Golden Condor can also force these Xianbei people to surrender. But it can't change their violent mental state. Returning to the initial loyalty of 70, it dropped to 60 in the blink of an eye, and small-scale rebellions and internal strife occurred every now and then, and Shang Ji's heart was full of anger when he commanded it. Such military merchants dare not use it!

"Could it be that hundreds of thousands of high-ranking prisoners of war were abolished like this?" Looking at the huge number of prisoners of war, Shang Ji said with some regret.

"My lord, I have an idea in the end, it's just..."

"Just what? When did my brother start to hesitate when doing things?"

"The last general heard that Miss Haoyue cured 40,000 Xianbei soldiers who were completely insane, how about..."

As he spoke, Liu Yi glanced at Shang Ji, carefully observing Shang Ji's expression.

Although neither Huang Zhong nor Dian Wei had big mouths, at that time Shang Ji kissed Haoyue in front of nearly ten thousand black-armored Xuanqi. At present, all the generals respect Haoyue very much, they treat her like the second wife of Pingzhou.

Shang Ji's complexion remained unchanged, but his heart felt slightly bitter. Liu Yi could think of this method, and Shang Ji naturally thought of it too, but now he really doesn't want to face Haoyue, so he just keeps procrastinating, hoping to find other solutions.

Pursing his lips, Liu Yi considered his sentence and changed his tone: "Yue Wu, it's not a big deal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Miss Haoyue is the best choice in terms of talent, heart, and appearance. Sister It's not a jealous woman, you don't have to!"

Seeing Liu Yi's serious expression, the corners of Shang Ji's mouth twitched, and he let out a long and helpless sigh!

God is pitiful, he really has no unreasonable thoughts about Haoyue, that kiss was also an impulsive move of Fu Zhi's heart, it didn't involve any love at all.

But seeing Liu Yidu's expression, Shang Ji didn't bother to argue. No matter how you justify yourself, it will be an excuse in the eyes of outsiders. With Haoyue's beauty, if you say you don't feel it, isn't that nonsense?

One of the four beauties who have been dignified in China for thousands of years, you say that you have no idea about others, it is an insult to everyone's IQ, and it is also an insult to the name of the four beauties!
