Chapter 564: Preparing for a Decisive Battle
"This person must be a good friend!"
Different from the excitement and eagerness to fight in the hearts of the generals of the empire, Tuobatao and Deng Qinglong did indeed look at Sun Wuji, the military commander who was standing beside Qin Huangying at the moment, through layers of obstacles.
They could feel that the eldest grandson of the military commander seemed to be very favored by the Qin emperor.
If you can take the opportunity to make friends, then you may not be able to stand out in the Qin army.
Tuobatao and Deng Qinglong are worthy of being old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years.
There is no whimsical desire to talk to the emperor of the empire, and there is no oversight to get acquainted with several military ministers and generals of the empire.
Instead, he fell in love with Sun Wuji, the eldest general of the army, and wanted to climb the high branches of the eldest Sun Wuji, and then seek promotion opportunities in the empire.
...
"All the generals obeyed the order, and the army immediately entered a state of preparation. The whole army was prepared for battle, and the troops were trained. The army was trained.
"The whole army will set up camp at noon tomorrow, approach the Xuancang Wilderness, and strive for a decisive battle with the main force in the southern region. The battle will determine the world."
At this moment, Bai Qi looked at everyone and said solemnly.
"promise!"
Hearing Bai Qi's words, the generals of the empire responded with firmness in their voices.
"In addition, the more than 20 million prisoners captured in this war, Tuobatao, Deng Qinglong, this commander will be handed over to the two of you."
Looking at Deng Qinglong and Tuobatao, the two coalition troops descended, Bai Qi said.
Just kidding, Bai Qi doesn't have the idea of absorbing more than 20 million troops into Qin's army now.
You must know that the current Qin army is in full swing, with high morale, and all of them are elite soldiers who have been polished in previous wars, and they have already formed an iron plate.
At this moment, if tens of millions of soldiers who are not strong-willed and have no will to fight are rashly mixed in, it is bound to greatly weaken the combat power of the Qin army.
In severe cases, it may even drag its feet, which in turn affects the entire battle situation.
Therefore, it is the best choice to put the more than 20 million surrendering coalition forces aside first.
After waiting for the empire to win, fully capture the southern region of Xuantian and conduct administrative management, it is not too late to recruit elite soldiers from these surrendered coalition forces to join the Qin army.
"Oh, it's a pity that more than 20 million people are surrendered soldiers. It would be great if all these people were executed prisoners. They can be used immediately."
At this moment, Bai Qi sighed, thinking so in his heart.
In fact, not only Bai Qi, but even all the imperial generals, the favorite soldiers during the war were not the surrendered soldiers from the major dynasties, but the felons and robbers imprisoned in the major prisons.
Because the vast majority of these people used to do things like licking blood on the edge of a knife, and they were full of bandits.
When he goes to the battlefield, he is also the kind of life-threatening battle. He is a rare cannon fodder and a talented person.
The reason why Bai Qi appointed Deng Qinglong and Tuo Batao, two coalition generals to take care of this large number of surrendered soldiers, was also because of their prestige in the coalition.
After all, the decisive battle is about to begin.
And in order to increase the chances of winning the decisive battle, the empire must be like a gambler, betting all the chips that can be used in its hands, and put all the bets on this game.
It was a gamble, a gamble that could not be lost.
Therefore, by now, the Qin army has no more power to take care of this group of coalition forces with a number of more than 20 million.
Because if you want to take care of this group of surrendering troops, you must at least leave a guard or an imperial army.
And no matter which Guard or Legion is missing, it will reduce the Empire's chances of winning in subsequent wars.
Therefore, Bai Qi had such an idea.
As for killing soldiers or something, Bai Qi, who had already learned a profound lesson and reflected hard, no longer thinks so.
It took Bai Qi two lifetimes to unravel the knot in the Battle of Changping, and Bai Qi didn't want to experience it again.
In today's Bai Qi's view, as long as the empire is not at a dangerous juncture, there is no need to issue a prisoner order.
And more than 20 million elites of the coalition army who surrendered may be a member of the imperial army in the future, so it is even more impossible to issue an order to kill prisoners.
There are two reasons why Tuobatao and Deng Qinglong were given such a task.
One is that they have taken a fancy to the prestige of the two in the coalition, and coupled with their experience in both, they are more handy in management.
The second is to see the potential of the two of them. After all, they are also two powerhouses at the level of great masters, and they are the talents of generals.
If you can pass the exam in this school, you may not be able to be entrusted with important tasks in the future.
At this moment, in the hall, I saw that the chief executive actually wanted to entrust such an important task to the two southern allied troops.
Although many people have criticisms in their hearts, they have not spoken out.
They are all generals under the command of the army, and they know the difficulties of the Qin army better than anyone else.
Today's imperial army can't stand another division.
...
"What, head coach, overseeing the surrendered army with a number of more than 20 million people, the last general is only the surrendered general, I really can't take such a heavy responsibility."
Although Bai Qi wanted to entrust the two of them with important responsibilities, Tuobatao and Deng Qinglong were both terrified at this time.
As the saying goes, there is no free lunch in the world, and there will be no pie in the sky.
For Deng Qinglong and Tuobatao, who climbed out of the struggle, intrigue and slaughter, they were extremely frightened in their hearts.
They have seen this kind of trick a lot in the past few hundred years. Once they take over the task, they will probably be considered to be ambitious or even conspiratorial, and then they will be directly killed by countless powerhouses, and they will fall.
After all, more than 20 million prisoners are all elite soldiers from many dynasties. Once the caretaker has the heart of not being a minister, he can immediately pull up an army of tens of millions and give it a fatal blow in the rear of the Qin army.
Now this kind of good thing has fallen on his own head, who would believe it.
They finally managed to save their lives, and now they have to risk their lives, their brains are not sick.
"Haha, the two generals don't have to do this. Although the two generals are surrendered generals, they are both people who know the general situation and understand the overall situation."
"The two generals don't have to be humble, the commander said you can do it, you can do it."
Looking at Tuobatao and Deng Qinglong, Bai Qi laughed and said, and all the generals also laughed in the hall.
"Two generals, don't be disturbed. This time, this commander will not only give the two generals the responsibility of taking care of the prisoners."
"And it will also allow two generals to select 200,000 elites from more than 20 million prisoners and form a custodial army for custody."
"In addition, in order to ensure the combat power of the army, this commander will also leave the empire's hundreds of thousands of wounded soldiers and some medicines here, so that these wounded soldiers can recuperate."
"However, the energy of the two generals is limited, and this commander will also let the Grand Adviser Changsun lead more than 100 imperial powerhouses to stay and help the two generals."
"I don't know General Tuoba, General Deng, what do you think?"
Hearing Bai Qi's words, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the correct process. Although it is entrusted with important tasks, people will be monitored because of identity issues to prevent accidents.
If in the past, the two would feel excluded because of such an arrangement.
But now, the two of them have an inexplicable feeling of the rest of their lives.
After thinking about this clearly, the two no longer resisted, and turned to Bai Qi and said, "Please rest assured, General Bai Qi, the last general will definitely live up to his high hopes."
