The issue of prisoners has always been the most important issue in war.
As long as there is a war, there will be winners and losers.
Prisoners are bound to appear as well.
But just now Xu Shiji clearly heard that Zhao Chen was not prepared to take prisoners.
Let the 50,000 soldiers of Goguryeo fill up the Calabash Valley in front of them?
This clearly means killing prisoners!
Killing prisoners is always a bad omen.
What's more, if the emperor governs the country with benevolence and virtue, if he kills all the prisoners, wouldn't it violate the emperor's philosophy of governing the country?
"No." Zhao Chen only left two cold words.
Then he turned around and left the camp.
All the soldiers stood there in astonishment.
Li Jing and Xu Shiji both looked at the emperor at this moment.
Old Li Tou didn't know what Zhao Chen was thinking, but since he had given the command of the army to Zhao Chen, he could not question Zhao Chen's decision at any time.
"The command is in Zhao Chen's hands. You just have to carry out his orders."
"I won't ask any questions." Old Li Tou spoke to everyone.
The generals retreated one after another, and the camp fell into silence.
…
Early the next morning, scouts from the front came to report.
Goguryeo general Huizhen led 50,000 soldiers and had reached a position less than two miles outside the Hulu Valley.
Qin Huaiyu led a thousand soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to block the entrance of Hulu Valley.
Looking at the Goguryeo army in front, Qin Huaiyu's eyes became extremely cold.
It was the guy with missing ears in front who killed his father Qin Qiong.
Today, Qin Huaiyu will be here to avenge his father.
"Hey, you little thief in front of you, please dismount quickly and surrender. I will spare your life, General." Huizhen led the army.
Seeing Qin Huaiyu leading the army blocking his way, he shouted loudly.
"Huizhen, you will die today." Qin Huaiyu replied, pointing the spear directly at Huizhen.
The general next to Huizhen said something to him, and then he heard Huizhen laugh: "Who did this general think he was?"
"I didn't expect him to be Qin Qiong's son. Why, has your father's body been buried?"
"Huizhen, you killed my father. Today, we will settle old and new accounts together."
"Come quickly and fight to the death with me, general." Qin Huaiyu shouted, waving a spear in his hand.
Huizhen was surprised.
In the entire Tang Dynasty, there were only two people whose martial arts frightened him.
One of them is Zhao Chen.
The other one is Li Ruoshuang.
Qin Huaiyu, this unknown junior, was naturally not taken seriously by Huizhen.
But Hui Zhen is not a fool.
What is the topography of the Calabash Valley in front of you?
If he and Qin Huaiyu were to fight alone and were trapped inside, it would not be good news.
"Qin Huaiyu, do you think this general is a fool?"
"Go into this Hulu Valley and fight with you alone, so that you can take down my general?"
"Dream!" Huizhen sneered.
Although Huizhen is particularly concerned about pursuing Li Shimin, it does not mean that he has no brains at all.
Such dangerous terrain is not something they can enter casually.
Seeing that Huizhen was not fooled, Qin Huaiyu drove his horse out of the battle and came to a place less than 200 steps away from Huizhen.
"Hyejin, as a general, you dare not rise to the challenge. Don't the Goguryeo soldiers around you feel ashamed?"
"Ah, I have forgotten, General, that none of you in Goguryeo have any sense of shame."
"I heard that Goguryeo is very chaotic. A large family often sleeps together, so there are often bastards who don't know who their father is."
"Huizhen, I heard that you are too..."
"Boy, you are looking for death!" Huizhen suddenly became manic and suddenly chased Qin Huaiyu with a big knife in his hand.
"General!" None of the other generals behind Huizhen responded.
He only had time to shout before he saw Huizhen rushing out.
Qin Huaiyu did not give in.
The spear in his hand was pointed directly at Huizhen's face.
"You little beast, you are seeking death!" Huizhen was furious.
Even Qin Qiong is no match for him, so will Huizhen take Qin Huaiyu seriously?
The broadsword struck the spear hard.
The gun barrel split into two pieces in an instant.
Qin Huaiyu's expression changed. Zhao Chen told him that Huizhen had good abilities, but Qin Huaiyu didn't take it to heart yet.
After all, he had heard that Huizhen could not withstand even one round in front of Zhao Chen.
So I took it for granted...
Qin Huaiyu did not expect Huizhen to be so strong, so he immediately turned his horse around and prepared to retreat.
Maybe it was Qin Huaiyu's words that angered Huizhen, or maybe there were other reasons.
Qin Huaiyu turned around and ran away, and Huizhen followed closely.
"Little beast, you weren't very arrogant just now, don't run away!" Huizhen yelled from behind, with a ferocious look on his face.
Qin Huaiyu was chased deep into the Calabash Valley. In just a few breaths, he surpassed the thousand people led by Qin Huaiyu.
"Surround him!" A voice suddenly came from the crowd.
Thousands of Tang Dynasty soldiers quickly surrounded Huizhen, trying to surround him.
"Oops, the Tang people are cheating, and the general is about to be surrounded." Huizhen's generals panicked when they saw that the Tang soldiers were trying to surround Huizhen.
He didn't even have time to take care of the Calabash Valley in front of him, so he shouted loudly: "Everyone, the Tang Dynasty envoys have sent out the whole army to support the general."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huizhen's generals took the lead and charged into Hulu Valley.
The tens of thousands of Goguryeo soldiers behind him heard the order and continued to advance.
Tens of thousands of horses and horses rushed towards the interior of Hulu Valley together.
Qin Huaiyu was chased by Huizhen, and everything was in danger.
He was almost cut in half by Huizhen several times.
"Little beast, don't run away. Let's see if this general doesn't chop you into pieces." Huizhen's eyes were red, as if Qin Huaiyu had poked her in a sore spot before.
Wherever Qin Huaiyu dared to stop, he quickly ran through the two-mile-long Gourd Valley.
