…

When Cai still personally led the Jinwu Central Army and some of his central army headquarters to the city of Xiuzhou, the battle had ended. The infantry of the Jinwu Right Army was cleaning the battlefield with the cooperation of Xiuzhou soldiers and civilians organized by Chen Go.

As soon as Cai Shen arrived, Wang De, Yang Yizhong and others immediately came to report the battle to Cai Shen.

After hearing it from beginning to end, Cai still secretly shouted: "Lucky!"

This is because the opponent is a peasant army like Fang Layi's army, which is not in the right place. If the opponent is the Jin army, then Yang Zaixing's actions to lead 900 personal guards into the enemy's formation with more than 50,000 enemy troops is tantamount to suicide.

Even if it was just a peasant army like Fang La Yijun, if it were not for Yang Yizhong's support, Yang Zaixing and the nine hundred personal guards led by him would have been eaten by Fang La Yijun this time.

That's all, the key is that in this way, Fang Qifo can completely defeat Xiuzhou City in one go.

If that is true, the overall situation may develop towards the benefit of Fang La's rebel army.

At this moment, Chen Gou brought a group of officials from Xiuzhou City to greet him.

As soon as they met, Chen Gou clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations to General Cai, and congratulations to General Cai. As soon as he came to our Xiuzhou, he fought a big victory that could control the overall situation of the battle."

Cai Jian quickly replied, saying, "May Lord Chen and you all laughed. The battle is like this, but Cai Jian is really instructive." Cai Jian said, "It almost ruined the situation that you have finally stabilized. It is all Cai Jian's fault. I hope you can forgive me."

Seeing that Cai still did not become ashamed because of such a big victory, he realized the dangers that might arise in this process and fully affirmed their previous achievements.

This undoubtedly made Chen Gou and others feel a lot of affection for Cai Sun.

Chen Go was not a vague person. He said: "I have the responsibility to rush General Yang to kill the enemy formation. If I hadn't inspired him with words, he wouldn't have killed the enemy's 50,000 troops with one thousand troops."

Cai still shook his head and said, "The act of aggression has always been happening since ancient times. It is something that all the people who lead the troops have to face. If they get it, it only means that the people who lead the troops have insufficient psychological quality and immature mind. What does it have to do with others?"

Seeing that Cai still seemed to completely deny Yang Zaixing's contribution, Chen Gou said: "It cannot be said that. As the saying goes, General Yang Zaixing's martial arts are comparable to Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao. Therefore, General Yang Zaixing cannot completely follow the requirements of ordinary generals."

Cai Jian said: "Thank you, Lord Chen, for thinking so. In fact, this is not the fault of Yang Zaixing. I didn't think it thoroughly. Because I heard that Fang Qifo had led 70,000 bandit troops to attack Xiuzhou City for three days, I hurriedly ordered Yang Zaixing to reinforce Xiuzhou City as quickly as possible. He did not tell Yang Zaixing that he would not allow him to fight. He came to Xiuzhou City and decided to fight according to the situation on the battlefield and the strength of our enemies. There was no problem of disobeying the order. Moreover, no matter how dangerous the process was, he won this battle after all, and he had made contributions and no faults. If he really said that he had it, it was my fault, not his fault."

After hearing what Cai Jian said, all the generals behind Cai Jian respected Cai Jian's fairness and courage.

Chen Gou thought to himself: "I gave all the credit to his generals and took all the responsibility on him. No wonder these arrogant soldiers and generals were pleased with him and surrendered to him."

Cai still looked around and didn't see Yang Zaixing, and asked, "Where has Yang Zaixing been?"

Yang Yizhong replied: "Commander Yang has gone after Fang Qi Buddha."

Cai Jian was stunned and said, "Has Fang Qifo been bitten by Yang Zaixing?"

Yang Yizhong said: "Bit."

Cai still asked again: "How many people did Fang Qifu lead to escape?"

Yang Yizhong said: "Hundreds, it was too chaotic at that time. The last general only cared about leaving behind the rebels to prevent future troubles. He didn't pay much attention to the battles on Commander Yang and their side. Well... At that time, Commander Yang should have dozens of people around him."

Cai still thought to himself: "It is really possible to catch the big fish Fang Qifo."

but--

It is not certain whether you can catch the Seven Buddhas of the Seven Buddhas of the Seven Buddhas.

Therefore, Cai still put this matter aside for the time being and said, "How many troops have we lost in this battle?"

Yang Yizhong said: "The specific number of people has not been determined yet. However, the two battalions of personal guards led by Commander Yang have more than 70% of the casualties. As for the lost war horses, they can be offset by the seized war horses."

Cai still felt ache when he heard this!

It is inevitable that there will be casualties in wars.

To be fair, if you achieve such a big victory, you will only have 1,800 casualties, and the results will be very good.

But the premise is that these 1,800 people are not Cai Jian’s personal guards.

Cai Lan's personal guards were selected from all the Jinwu army. Whether they were of quality or loyalty, they were the best among the Jinwu army, no doubt about it.

The key is that it is really difficult to train the Ma army.

To be honest, if Cai still hadn't gone to suppress Song Jiang and recruited many warriors in Yan and Zhao, he wouldn't have been able to gather these 2,500 personal guards.

Now, just one third of them have been defeated.

Let me ask, how could Cai still not feel sorry for him?

Yang Yizhong saw that Cai was still distressed, and he hurriedly said: "There are only 10% casualties here, and the number of casualties in the Right Army is even smaller. In addition, the Fuzheng has seen that there are about 100 of the personal guards who were killed and injured. After a period of treatment, they can still return to the team."

Cai still heard the words and said to his personal guard Yue Feng: "Go to pick up Mr. Wang and the medical camp quickly, explain the situation here to them, and let them come to treat the wounded as soon as possible."

After explaining to Yue Fan, Cai still said to Chen Go again: "Mr. Chen, please find me a spacious and ventilated place in the city. I want to treat the wounded."

Chen Gou said: "This is easy. There is an ancient temple in the city. It is spacious and has a good environment. What is rare is that the monks inside are almost running away, which is very suitable for treating wounded soldiers. I will send someone to notify the monks left there and ask them to clean up the place."

After saying this, Chen Gou, who was decisive and decisive, sent someone back to notify the monks in the ancient temple.

Cai still said: "Thank you, Lord Chen."

Chen Gou said: "It should be so, why bother to thank me?"

However, Chen Gou immediately changed his tone and said, "I have something here, I hope General Cai can agree."

Cai still said: "Please tell me, Lord Chen."

Chen Gou said: "Apart from the wounded soldiers, I hope that other members of your team will not enter the city. If you have any needs, we can coordinate from it and try to satisfy you."

It’s no wonder that Chen Go was unwilling to let the soldiers of the Jinwu Army enter the city. In fact, the army of the Northern Song Dynasty is similar to bandits. Wherever they pass, there is almost nothing they don’t want to do.

Among them, the Western Army is the most important - they can fight if they can fight, but their military discipline is also famous.

Historically, the Western Army went south to suppress Fang La and committed many evil deeds in the southeast.

So much so that when the people in the southeast all gritted their teeth when they mentioned Zhao Song.

Later, when the Southern Song Dynasty was established, the people in the southeast also rose up and resisted one after another.

If it weren't for the fact that Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other generals could fight, they would suppress the people in the southeast over and over again. Later, after Emperor Xiaozong of Song ascended the throne, he promulgated many benevolent policies, and the people in the southeast would have overthrew the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Chen Go was afraid that the soldiers of the Jinwu Army would also be such bandits, and the people in Xiuzhou City would suffer.

Unexpectedly, Cai still agreed immediately: "This is naturally. When the army enters the city, it will inevitably scare the people who have become frightened birds. Therefore, it is better for our Jinwu Army to station outside the city. Well... Lord Chen is familiar with the land, so help our Jinwu Army find a suitable place to camp. As for what we need, we will buy it in cash and you can buy it on your behalf."

Seeing that Cai was still so reasonable, Chen Go said sincerely: "Thank you General Cai for understanding."

Cai still said: "It should be so, Lord Chen doesn't have to thank me."

Cai still talked with Chen Gou and the others for another time, and Wang De came to report: "General, in this battle, we killed more than 6,800 rebels, injured more than 17,300 rebels, captured more than 20,000 rebels, seized more than 1,66 good horses, more than 1,300 injured and dead horses, and the armor and property are still under statistics."

Cai still nodded and said, "Go and hand over to Lord Zhang Xu."

Wang Deying said, "No." Then he went to the court honestly to hand over the people of Gongcao, the Jinwu Army led by Zhang Xu.

Chen Go stood aside and looked for a while and found that the soldiers of the Jinwu Army were very clean. Even if only a copper plate was seized, they were honestly handed over to the officers. After the officers collected and seized, they were honestly handed over to the officials of Gongcao Deng to record the records.

In addition, Chen Gou discovered that the officials of the Jinwu Army Gongcao also recorded their merits very carefully and seriously.

Moreover, after listening carefully, Chen Gou was shocked to find that few of the military achievements of the Jinwu Army were directly given to individuals, and most of them were given to the collective, such as directly recording them for one army, directly recording them for one quartet, directly recording them for one quartet, directly recording them for one quartet, or even directly recording them for one commander, and even a military command.

This method of recording merits by the Jinwu Army made Chen Gao feel both novel and secretly frown, "This is obviously different from the method of recording merits issued by the imperial court."

Chen Go asked Cai Jian calmly: "General Cai, I wonder how to write the victory of this battle?"

Cai still said: "Just write it truthfully."

Chen Gou said: "If you write truthfully, how should you distribute the merits of Guigong Cao like this?"

Cai still heard the words and said, "I have rewarded merits and punished me."

Chen Go wanted to ask again, but he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. Cai still turned his head and said to Yang Yizhong: "Send another city of people to welcome Yang Zaixing."

Chen Go knew that it was impossible to be targeted when Cai still had the current identity. He missed this topic, but he didn't want to talk about how he distributed his military achievements.

Chen Gou thought to himself: "It seems that he is preparing to intercept all the military achievements issued by the court, and to distribute them himself, firmly grasp the power of the promotion of the subordinates."

Chen Go looked at Cai Jian's unremarkable face and thought to himself: "Although this person is not old, he is well aware of the way of "long reins and far away, and a wonderful and subtle teaching"!"

The personal guards sent by Yang Yizhong were just about to welcome Yang Zaixing when someone suddenly shouted in the distance: "Commander Yang is back!"

After a while, someone shouted again: "Look! Look! Commander Yang seemed to have captured Fang Qifo alive!"

When everyone heard the words, they all looked into the distance immediately...
