For three consecutive days, the vast land covering several hundred miles in Huanshui, Chaoge, Zhongmou, Muye and other places turned into a battlefield where millions of people and horses were fighting.

People were screaming and horses were neighing.

The endless shouts of killing shook the whole earth.

At the moment the war broke out, the Wu army not only sent troops to capture Chaoge City and Zhongmou City, but also went to the river to burn the allied warships and bridges one by one, cutting off the allied forces' retreat.

With their escape routes cut off and their survival hopeless, many coalition soldiers had no choice but to abandon their weapons and surrender.

In this way, after three days and three nights of fighting, the Wu army finally won the battle.

In this regard, Qingji just wanted to say: Even if there are 600,000 pigs, Wu Jun can't catch them all in three days and three nights!

The fact is that in the Battle of Huanshui, the Wu army beheaded a total of 250,000 people, captured more than 320,000 people, and seized countless amounts of grain and baggage.

Many coalition soldiers were drowned and were forced by the Wu army to jump into the Yellow River and drown...

A war of annihilation is undoubtedly a very cruel method of warfare.

Prince Luan of the Song Dynasty, General Ji of Lu and his officials, as well as the other officials of Qi, Lu and Yan, who had no time to escape, were all captured by the Wu army or forced to surrender.

King Lu Ren of Qi and Tian Heng were nowhere to be found, and they probably fled back.

After this battle, the other countries were already in deep trouble and no longer had the ability to compete with Wu.

However, Wu's own casualties were also very heavy, with more than 150,000 soldiers killed in successive battles.

This kind of tragic result was not what Qing Ji wanted to see, but he had to do it.

After the war ended, Qing Ji immediately ordered Sun Wu to build an altar, called the "Soul Calling Platform", to mourn the soldiers of both the enemy and our armies who died in the battle.

Otherwise, so many wronged souls may turn them into real lonely ghosts...

"woo woo woo woo--"

Along the Huanshui River, a solemn and pathos-filled horn sounded, loudly lighting up the entire sky.

Qingji, who was dressed in black with red stripes, a flat crown on his head, and holding a jade gui in one hand, slowly climbed onto the soul summoning platform under the gaze of everyone.

In three directions of the soul summoning platform, there are warriors from the Wu army wearing helmets and carrying armor.

They held spears and spears in their hands and looked ahead, just like statues, standing motionless with serious expressions.

Hundreds of thousands of Wu army warriors formed several square formations, like a fiery red ocean, so majestic that the end could not be seen at a glance.

And around the phalanx, there are no longer crimson flags representing the state of Wu, but white flags and cloth.

The whole army was more or less filled with an atmosphere of mourning.

This battle was too tragic for the Wu State.

At this moment, Qingji finally climbed onto the soul-calling stage and knelt beside the soul-gum.

On the eucalyptus, as always, there are placed cow heads, sheep heads, pig heads, three animals to offer sacrifices to heaven, and "steamed buns".

It's steamed buns.

Steamed buns invented by Qingji!

The steamed buns were shaped into the shape of human faces. At this moment, many steamed buns were put into the river and flowed along the river.

It is worth mentioning that the battle was so brutal that the originally clear river water was dyed the color of blood and exuded a foul smell.

So far, some bodies have not been recovered and are floating on the river.

The ancients believed in resting in the grave.

If nothing unexpected happens, the bodies of the fallen soldiers, whether they belong to the enemy or the Wu army, will be fished out, buried properly, or burned on the spot.

After Qingji received the memorial text, he read it out loud based on the content above.

"...but the soldiers and sons are all heroes from all over the world; the officers and generals are all heroes from all over the world."

"Qi Jian serves the country with sincerity and is loyal to the king. When did you accidentally lose your military opportunity and fell into a treacherous plot? Or you were lost, and your soul was buried in the spring; Or you were wounded by the sword, and your soul returned to the night. If you are alive, you will be brave.

"If you die, you will become famous. Now I want to return the triumphant song, and I will sacrifice you as a prisoner."

"You heroes are still here, and I will surely hear my prayer: follow my banner, chase my tribe, and return to the upper country together. Each of you will recognize your hometown, receive steamed and tasted flesh and blood, and receive sacrifices from your family!"

"...The living are majestic, and the dead are also kings. When I want to be in peace, my mother cries. I talk to express my sincerity and offer sacrifices."

"Oh, what a pity! Fu Wei is still happy!"

After Qingji finished reciting the sacrificial inscriptions, the mourning music was played in the audience.

Hundreds of Wu army warriors formed a square formation and sang "National Sorrow" on behalf of the Wu Kingdom in a sad tone and accompanied by sad music——

"When you are fighting Wu Ge, you are wearing rhinoceros armor, and when your car is on the wrong side, you are fighting in close combat."

"The sun is blocked by the sun, and the enemy is like clouds; when friendship is lost, the soldiers are fighting to be the first."

"The formation is still in the air, and we are still walking in the woods. The left side is still injured, and the right blade is wounded."

"The two wheels of haze are coming to feed the four horses, and the jade canopy is beating the drums to help."

…

"The sky is full of anger, and the mighty spirit is so angry that it kills them all and abandons the wilderness."

"If you can't go in or out, you can't go back. The plains suddenly become too long."

"When you carry a long sword, you hold the bow of Qin. If your head and body are separated, your heart will not be punished."

"Sincerity is both brave and martial, and ultimately strong and undefeatable."

"Since the body is dead, the spirit has become a spirit, and the soul has become a ghost!"

At this moment, in the huge phalanx of Wu Army, cries could not help but come out.

Many seven-foot-old men burst into tears and almost cried.

…

After the sacrificial ceremony, Sun Wu stepped forward and asked Qingji: "Your Majesty, how will the kings of the countries and their ministers and ministers farewell?"

"Put it back."

"Put it back? Your Majesty, wouldn't that mean letting the tiger return to the mountain?"

Sun Wu was a little puzzled.

"You can't kill it. Keeping it is a waste. Not putting it back will put us in a dilemma."

Qingji shook his head and said: "Let them each write a letter and ask someone to bring a ransom to redeem them and force the other countries to cede territory and seek peace."

"promise."

At this time, Wu Zixu frowned and said: "Your Majesty, I thought that all the elite divisions of the countries were lost. I, Wu, would take advantage of this opportunity to march eastward and destroy Wei or Lu."

"If we destroy the guards, I guarantee that we will defeat them in a single battle."

Hearing this, Qingji waved his hand and said: "Let the Wei Kingdom survive for another year or two. Our Wu Kingdom has experienced too many fierce battles this year. The soldiers are all exhausted and cannot bear the long battle, and the food in the rear has been almost consumed.

It’s all empty.”

This is exactly what Qingji needs to consider.

In the battle to destroy Zhao and the battle of Huanshui, more than 200,000 Wu soldiers died directly in the battle, and many were seriously injured and disabled.

For Wu Guo, this was not a serious injury to his vitality, but it was already a serious injury to his muscles and bones.

Furthermore, the amount of grain and baggage consumed by the State of Wu was immeasurable.

Hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war were to be sent to the hinterland of Wu State to temporarily farm and reclaim wasteland, which also required a lot of food consumption.

For the soldiers who made meritorious service or died in this battle, Wu State also needed to reward and provide compensation, which was another huge expense.

Qingji must consider all aspects of things.

Qingji can destroy a mere Weiguo in a year or two with an army of 30,000 to 50,000 men, so why rush it?

Now is the time for Qingji to carry out military blackmail.
