With the surrender of the Xiutu tribe and the Xubu ancient capital Hou tribe, the battle in the Northern Frontier came to an end. In this war, the Northern Frontier Army showed a strong force that made the Huns feel defeated. Qiang Qu Shanyu clearly stated that he would completely obey the General of the Northern Frontier, and the entire Xiongnu army would follow the orders of General of the Northern Frontier.

Since Qiangqu Shanyu had already expressed his attitude, how to deal with the Xiutu division and the Xubu ancient capital Hou division that put down their weapons was decided by Zhao Yun, the 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. This method was extremely cruel. However, the victory was simple and without any brains. The attack on the defeated side was also extremely heavy. It often took ten or twenty years to recover the vitality of the defeated side. The second was to clearly mark the price and let the defeated side redeem the prisoners. Although this method can gain a lot of benefits in the short term, the disadvantages are also obvious. Only when the defeated side can heal a considerable combat effectiveness in a very short period of time. In the long run, this method is not worth the loss. The last method is to let all the prisoners be released very generously. This method is actually the most stupid. Doing this is typical for face but not inner strength. The defeated side can basically recover the vitality without spending any cost. Sadly, in the thousands of years of history, most of our country has adopted the last method.

However, the surrendered army issues of the Xiutu tribe and the Xubu ancient capital Hou tribe are not completely equivalent to the issue of foreign captives. Because the Southern Xiongnu completely surrendered to the Han Dynasty most of the time, and at this time, the Qiang Qu Shanyu and his subordinates of the Southern Xiongnu were not only considered Han ministers, but also subordinates of Chen Chu, the general of the Northern Expedition. Therefore, the two surrendered army of the Southern Xiongnu can be treated as surrendered troops in the civil war to a considerable extent. The most common way to deal with prisoners in the civil war is to incorporate them.

Regarding this issue, Chen Chu had already explained before Zhang Fei came. At that time, Chen Chu also granted Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei the right to recruit surrendered troops. It should be noted here that in the Northern Expedition Army, only Chen Chu had the right to recruit and expand the army. This was a preventive measure taken to prevent some generals from gaining their own troops. Of course, if Chen Chu authorized, the generals could also recruit or expand the army to a certain extent.

Regarding how to deal with the two surrendered troops, Zhao Yun decided to select young and middle-aged people from the 70,000 Xiongnu prisoners who met the requirements of the Northern Expedition Army, and organize them into one army for training, and then join the battle sequence of the Northern Expedition Army after the overall requirements are met. Of course, while this matter is executed, it must be reported to Chen Chu.

Zhao Yun's decision couldn't help but relieve Qiang Qu. What he was most worried about was that the Northern Army killed the prisoners.

After making this decision, Zhao Yun immediately ordered people to temporarily detain more than 70,000 Xiongnu prisoners in the garrison of the ancient capital of Subu. How many days will the specific inclusion work be carried out.

After dealing with this matter, Zhao Yun asked Qiangqu: "Shanyu, the corpses on the grassland will be troubled by Shanyu to send people to collect the burial." The reason why Zhao Yun entrusted this matter to Qiangqu was because Qiangqu currently has the richest manpower.

Qiang Qu nodded immediately and said, "It is a glorious thing to collect the bones of warriors. I, Qiang Qu, have no choice but to do so! General, don't worry, I will lead my troops to the grassland."

After that, Qiangqu stood up and was about to leave the tent immediately. Zhao Yun quickly called him, "There are too many corpses on the grassland, so the Shanyu should bring more ox carts and horse carts." When he said this, Zhao Yun seemed to think of those brothers who died on the battlefield, and his expression was a little sad.

Qiang Qu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand, general, don't worry." Then he clasped his fists at Zhao Yun and left the tent.

After Qiangqu came out of the tent, he immediately sent a commander to gather 50,000 cavalry and ordered all the ox, carriages and carriages from the Subu Ancient Capital Housing Department. Then he personally led the 50,000 cavalry to drive thousands of ox, carriages and carriages to go to the already silent battlefield under the guidance of the Northern Army.

After about an hour of travel, Qiangqu brought people to the location.

When everyone saw the scene on the battlefield, everyone was stunned and no one spoke for a long time. Everyone's face was filled with a look of shock. Because...

In order to present it to everyone is a tragic scene that everyone never thought of.

After being stunned for a while, Qiang Qu, who had reacted first, ordered the collection of corpses. The Hun army then divided into dozens of teams and began to collect corpses on the battlefield in a net-style manner.

At present, most of the corpses left on the battlefield are from Xianbei people. A considerable part of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the corpses of the chariot.

Seeing such a tragic scene, every Hun person couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. Before this, there might have been some complaints about surrendering to the Northern Army, but after that, all of these complaints disappeared. The Huns who worshipped heroes felt that surrendering to such a strong man was not only not a shame, but a glory.

The war had ended, and the civil strife of the Xiongnu had been quelled. After several days of repairing in the clouds, Qiang Qu Shanyu decided to lead his troops back to Wuyuan.

Before leaving, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei both arrived 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 a suitable time and bow to General Zhengbei for his promise. Zhao Yun happily agreed.

Qiang Qu Shanyu led his Xiongnu army to leave Yunzhong and return to Wuyuan, while Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei were all staying in Yunzhong. There were still many things to deal with in Yunzhong, especially those prisoners, who could not leave for the time being.

Among the prisoners captured by the Northern Expedition Army, in addition to more than 70,000 Huns, there were nearly 10,000 Xianbei people. Zhao Yun and others had already made plans and implemented them. Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun did not have to worry about how to deal with Xianbei prisoners. Zhang Fei had already sent a letter to Bingzhou and asked Chen Chu for instructions on how to deal with the Xiongnu prisoners. In the end, only listen to Chen Chu's orders.

Bingzhou, the governor's office.

"Zijing, Yuan Zhi, Zilong and Yide came to ask for instructions. How to deal with the Xianbei prisoners? What do you think?" Chen Chu asked with a smile.

Xu Shu immediately clasped his fists at Chen Chu and said, "Lord, if this Xianbei prisoner is released, it will be a disaster for the tiger; if it is killed, it will damage the lord's reputation. It is better to let these barbarian prisoners go to mine, what do you think?"

Lu Su, who was standing by, suddenly lit his eyes and continued, "Wonderful! Yuan Zhi's plan can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It will not only kill the lord's reputation, but also get nearly 10,000 free laborers. These days, Lao Tie complained in my ears all day long, saying that there are too few people and that the production of the newly started iron mines is really difficult to increase! Now these prisoners can be sent to mine." The Lao Tie mentioned by Lu Su is Wang Gang, the old blacksmith of the former Longhu Village. He is now the general manager of the mine, iron smelting and weapons workshop in the area controlled by Chen Chu. This Wang Gang is not only an outstanding blacksmith, but also has more outstanding management skills, so Chen Chu asked Wang Gang to be the general manager of the mine, iron smelting and weapons workshop. The upper class of the Northern Army generally called him Lao Tie, while ordinary people call him General Manager Wang.

Chen Chu looked at the two people in front of him in surprise. He had actually thought of this from this, but he had never expected that Lu Su and Xu Shu, who were educated in Confucianism, would have such ideas.

Seeing that Chen Chu's faces were strange, the two couldn't help but feel a little surprised. They looked at each other, and then Xu Shu asked carefully: "Do you think Shu's proposal is inappropriate?"

Chen Chu was shocked and immediately said, "No, Yuan Zhi's proposal is very good! Just do it!"

After pausing, Chen Chu continued: "Zijing, I will send a letter to Zilong and Yide later, and ask them to send troops to take Xianbei prisoners to Bingzhou."

"Yes, lord." Lu Su said.

After dealing with this matter, Chen Chu suddenly sighed and looked very depressed.

"What's the matter with the lord?" Lu Su saw this...

, asked in surprise.

Chen Chu paused and said, "I am not worried, but sad. In the Feige sent just now, there are reports of casualties from our Northern Army in the northern border. One hundred thousand iron cavalry, more than 50,000 were killed in battle! Nearly 5,000 were seriously injured and disabled! Although our army won a great victory in this battle, it was a tragic victory!"

Lu Su and Xu Shu were shocked. Although they had both learned about the good news from the northern border, they still didn't know how their casualties were.

The two of them felt a little scared. Just listening to the casualties mentioned by Chen Chu, people could recall how tragic the Battle of Northern Xinjiang was.

The three of them suddenly became silent, with their expressions not very good. The victory that was won at such a heavy price was really hard to be happy.

After a while, Chen Chu said, "Another month is August 1st. Do you know what day this day is?"

After pausing, without waiting for the two of them to answer, Chen Chu continued with a look of memory: "August 1 is the day when our Northern Expedition Army is formed. I decided to hold a grand ceremony on that day to welcome the ashes of the fallen soldiers into the Loyal Soul Pavilion. I hope our descendants can always remember these iron-strong heroes!"
