All the officials were lost in thought.

With 40 captives, the rations needed are undoubtedly an extremely large amount.

Moreover, leaving such a large number of captives alone is like a time bomb, which will explode at some point.

In the event of a mutiny, the problem will be even greater.

The 40 rebellious troops are enough to pose a threat to the safety of the capital.

Even Li Xiu felt a little tricky. It was indeed a problem to deal with the 40 surrendered troops.

Impossible to put directly.

Once released, these surrendered soldiers are likely to continue to cause chaos.

"The last general suggests, kill them all!"

A cold light flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes, "40 captives, since the imperial court can't afford to support them, they should kill them all to avoid future troubles!"

When the officials of the court heard the words, there was an expression of disbelief in their eyes.

That's 40 people.

Kill them all?

What kind of heinous act of cruelty is this?

But Xiang Yu said it so lightly?

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible."

Doctor Yushi directly knelt down on Yudao, "How cruel to kill 40 people, this will be recorded in the annals of history, and bear the eternal infamy!"

"I implore Your Majesty to think twice!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War also frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I also think that people's lives should not be treated like this."

"Marching and fighting, how can it be a woman's benevolence?"

Xiang Yu's expression was still indifferent, and he said: "If there is a mutiny that endangers His Majesty's safety, who will bear the heavy responsibility?"

"This……"

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, and suddenly fell silent.

Xiang Yu shook his head, "So, the best way is to do nothing and keep killing them all, leaving no one behind!"

"Killing and killing soldiers is the next strategy."

At this moment, Li Xiu, who was sitting on the throne, finally spoke, "What's more, in the final analysis, these soldiers are all the people of our Tang Dynasty. Is it the way of a king to kill them all?"

"Xiang Yu, I hope you will use your murderous nature on foreigners, not on the people of Tang Dynasty."

Xiang Yu was startled, and immediately knelt down on one knee, and solemnly said: "Little General, please follow your Majesty's instruction!"

Li Xiu then nodded in satisfaction.

Xiang Yu is brutal and easy to kill. This can be seen from the slaughter of 20 Qin soldiers by the opponent.

Moreover, Xiang Yu fought in battle all his life and slaughtered countless cities. In Li Xiu's view, this is not a good habit and needs to be corrected.

"How about this."

Li Xiu thought for a while, and seemed to have come up with a solution.

"These 40 soldiers were divided into forty battalions and sent to Lingnan, Huguang, Huainan and other places to open up wasteland and establish military settlements."

"Let these captives open up fertile land for our Tang court and increase food production."

Hearing Li Xiu's words, all the officials' eyes lit up.

This method is wonderful!

In this way, the 40 soldiers were completely dispersed and sent to unfamiliar places, greatly reducing the possibility of mutiny.

Secondly, the captives reclaimed wasteland, which not only increased food production for the Tang Dynasty, but also solved the problem of food rations for the captives themselves. With enough food to eat and fill their stomachs, who would want to rebel?

Thirdly, the household department no longer has to worry about the feeding of these captives.

This move can be described as killing three birds with one stone!

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Minister of Military Affairs, Xiang Yu and other civil and military ministers all knelt down to the ground.

To deal with such a difficult problem of 40 captives, it was unexpected that His Majesty would think of a proper way to deal with it in just an instant.

After sweeping away the feudal vassals and towns all over the world, Datang will definitely be able to regain its prosperity!

……

Hebei Road, Youzhou City.

The mansion of Fan Yang Jiedushi.

"Pei Lang, it's time to drink the medicine."

Pei Hong was lying on the bed, his whole body was covered with bandages, beside him, there seemed to be a beautiful concubine who was serving and drinking medicine for Xiao Xin.

In the Battle of Tongguan, although Pei Hong escaped with his life, he was seriously injured and only half his life remained.

However, he had just drank half a bowl of medicine when a general hurried in.

"Jiedushi, the latest urgent report!"

The general fell to his knees on the ground, and said urgently: "The imperial court takes Xiang Yu as commander, and leads [-] cavalry to conquer Fanyang, Shuofang and Pinglu towns!"

"Our Fan Yang has become the first target! Xiang Yu led the iron cavalry and came directly to our Youzhou City!"

"Pfft!"

Pei Hongcai spit out all the medicine he had just taken into his mouth, his face turned ashen, "Emperor, this is to kill everything!"

Although he expected that Li Xiu would definitely send an army to conquer, but he never expected that this army would come so fast!

Chapter 30 The Third Summoning, Sunrise in the East, I am the only one who is undefeated

The emperor wants to strike while the iron is hot, without giving them a chance to breathe, and completely wipe out all their feudal towns!

Li Xiu, so ruthless!

"Li Xiu, it's just a dream to get rid of this general so easily!"

A look of coldness suddenly flashed in Pei Hong's eyes, "Even if I lose, I will make you pay the price!"

Immediately, he looked at the general at the side, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately inform Mingjian Villa that Liu Xin has died at the hands of the imperial court. Help me defend Youzhou City and repel the imperial army!"

"Yes!"

The general took the order to go.

He, Fan Yangfan Town, has a close cooperative relationship with Mingjian Villa, and Liu Xin is the elder of Mingjian Villa, and as the representative of Mingjian Villa, he assists him.

But now, Liu Xin died at the hands of the court.

Famous Sword Villa will naturally not just sit idly by and will definitely lend a helping hand to him.

"Li Xiu, this time I will show you the power of martial arts!"

In Pei Hong's eyes, a hint of coldness suddenly flashed across.

……

Five days later.

Inside and outside the city of Youzhou, the sky was filled with flames of war.

Xiang Yu's army has conquered Youzhou City.

Fan Yang Jiedu made Pei Hong commit suicide.

All the remaining soldiers and horses in the city surrendered.

This was a big victory, but from Xiang Yu's face, there was no trace of joy, and even a little gloomy.

According to his prediction, the battle to attack Youzhou would be over in three days, but in the end it was delayed for two days!

Not only that, but the Daxue Dragonriders suffered serious casualties in this battle.

Losses numbered as many as [-].

This is a heavy casualty that has never been seen since Xiang Yu led the Snow Dragon Cavalry!

Naturally, these serious casualties were not caused by the remnants of the Fanyang Fan Town, but by a group of highly skilled martial artists!

This group of Jianghu martial arts people all come from a sect called Mingjian Villa.

If this group of people hadn't helped Pei Hong to defend Youzhou City, the other party would definitely not be able to last five days.

Although, this group of Jianghu and Wulin people were slaughtered by him in the end, and the deputy owner of the village headed by him was killed by his own hands.

However, such a big loss still made Xiang Yu unable to calm down.

"Immediately send the news to His Majesty, please make a holy judgment!"

Xiang Yu looked at the messenger at the side and ordered.

"As ordered."

He is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and he is good at fighting on the battlefield, but dealing with these martial arts people in the rivers and lakes is not his specialty.

It is better to inform His Majesty about this matter, and let His Majesty send someone to deal with it.

……

The capital Chang'an, the imperial palace.

above the hall.

"How dare a small Jianghu sect cause damage to my Daxuelongrider?"

Upon hearing the news of Xiang Yu's return, Li Xiu was furious.

Murderous intent flickered in his eyes.

This sword villa, damn it!

Seeing Li Xiu's fury, Shangshu Pushe paused for a moment, and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, there is also news from the Minister of the Ministry of War that he was also attacked by the Jianghu sect Xuanming sect when he was trying to pacify the two major feudal towns of Hexi and Longyou. The attack caused the loss of [-] iron eagle warriors."

"What did you say?!"

Li Xiulong was furious.

Five thousand snow dragon riders, ten thousand iron eagle warriors!

In Li Xiu's view, it was simply unacceptable heavy casualties!

Even in the Battle of Tongguan, against the army of millions of feudal towns, the two elite troops, the Daxue Dragon Knight and the Tie Ying Ruishi, would only kill or injure a few thousand people in total.

But now, the two sects of the rivers and lakes have caused the Daxue Longqi and Iron Eagle Ruishi to lose more than 1 people!

"What a Xuanming sect, what a famous sword villa!"

Li Xiu's eyes were extremely cold, "How dare you so blatantly oppose the imperial court and attack the imperial court's soldiers and horses, these two great sects clearly did not take me seriously."

"Cao Zhengchun!"

"The old slave is here."

Cao Zhengchun bowed immediately.

"I give you three days to find out the exact location of Xuanmingjiao and Mingjian Villa!"

"Otherwise, see you soon!"

Li Xiu said in a deep voice.

"Old slave obeys!"

Cao Zhengchun's forehead was sweating.

His Majesty only gave him three days.

Even he, the governor of the East Factory, felt the heavy pressure at this moment.

He could clearly feel that His Majesty was really angry this time!
