In the battle of Yinping, Guan Yu and Le entered their headquarters. More than 400 people were killed and nearly 1,000 were lightly or seriously wounded.
Most of the injured were injured by arrows, and most of them were able to recover, which is considered a blessing among misfortunes.
Killed more than 4,000 enemies, captured 10,000 soldiers, 20,000 civilians, captured more than 300 sets of iron armor, 1,300 sets of leather armor, 800 crossbows, more than 3,000 bows, 2,000 heavy shields, spears,
There are more than 15,000 euphorbias and tens of thousands of ring-headed knives.
There are three hundred war horses, two thousand pack horses, two thousand cattle, more than five thousand carriages, sixty thousand stones of grain, and two hundred thousand arrows.
Except for the hundred catties of gold, Liu Xiang was not interested in any other baggage.
Tiqi finally reported that there were three thousand Qingzhou legions in Yinping, who were responsible for guarding the city, guarding prisoners, and driving civilians to clean the battlefield. Guan Yu and Le Jin had already led their troops to attack Fu Yang, but there was no news yet.
In fact, whether Fu Yang can be defeated or not has nothing to do with the overall situation. He has no idea about Pengcheng Kingdom for the time being. After all, King Pengcheng is one of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance. Now is not the time to break up with these princes.
There should be no major incident in Donghai County. Zhang Liao's 15,000 men are confronting tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans in Tan County. Small battles continue, but there is no intention of attacking by force, and there is no need to worry about their sudden defeat.
In order to prevent Yuan Shao from inciting the nobles in the rear to rebel, it is better for the Chinese infantry stationed in Kaiyang not to go south.
The issue that needs to be considered now is how to weaken Chunyu Qiong's 30,000 troops so that Yuan Shao's strength can be reduced so that Liu Chong can face him head-on.
Perhaps it can also slightly enhance the strength of the Seven Nations Alliance.
While he was thinking, the sky was already turning white. At this moment, he might as well not sleep.
The morning in late spring in March is still a bit cold, especially before the sun rises.
Wrapped in a thick cloak, he felt much warmer, and ordered someone to call Lu Xiang Chen Yi.
From the time he sent troops to Lu to the present, Chen Yi has been with the army and is responsible for managing the baggage. He is really stingy, but he is also very serious. It is not an exaggeration to say that every penny counts, and this guy will really give King Lu
save money.
Not long after, the people arrived. The two sides bowed and met. Liu Xiang got straight to the point: "I still owe King Lu three thousand shi of grain as interest. The remaining county can be captured at any time, and the resources can be moved at any time. But in my opinion, in this troubled world,
Ah, there is nothing better to rely on than soldiers and horses."
"What does General Hussar mean?" Chen Yi vaguely guessed the meaning, but he wanted to hear something clear.
"Three thousand spears and a thousand ring-headed knives, how about counting them as profit? The seven kings have already raised an army, but only King Chen has the military power. This is not good, it will make the world misunderstood. Could it be that the others are just making up the numbers?"
"
Not only did Liu Xiang want to enhance the overall strength of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, he also wanted someone to challenge King Chen. The military power was all in Liu Chong's hands. This was not a long-term solution.
He was thinking about these princes.
There are not many good people like him left!
Chen Yi blinked his small eyes and revealed his true nature: "Liu Qiaoqi, food and money are expensive nowadays, these weapons are a little short, we need to add more."
"How about taking five hundred gold and I can get you the equipment for 3,000 people?"
"How much equipment do three thousand men have? I don't know much about military strategy, so I hope Liu Qiaoqi will make it clear." Lu Xiang Chen Yi is a meticulous person. He does not accept such a general number and wants to know the specific number.
"Three thousand spears, two thousand ring-headed swords, a thousand light shields to protect against arrows, and five hundred bows."
This price is already very favorable. Even if it costs one thousand gold, it is not impossible to sell it.
Chen Yi understood the reason. He wanted to support King Lu and return the money, and doing business was just an excuse.
"Liu Qiaoqi, if you pay one thousand gold, how many weapons can you buy?"
"Five thousand spears, three thousand swords, one thousand five hundred light shields, one thousand bows, and five thousand men, it is more than enough." Liu Xiang gave a clear answer, and then added a meaningful sentence.
: "Five thousand soldiers are enough to defend ourselves."
Chen Yi calculated the palace's treasury and said: "I need to ask your Majesty for instructions. My king has always been very interested in weapons. But how should we deliver these many weapons?"
Of course, this was not a question about delivery. Liu Xiang understood. It meant that he wanted to buy, but he didn't want to do the transaction in front of Liu Chong. Perhaps, he didn't want Liu Chong to know.
"Our army has been busy with campaigns recently and we really can't spare any manpower. How about we trouble King Lu and send people to Yinping County to get some for ourselves?"
"I will also report to your Majesty. I also hope that Liu Qiaoqi can go to Yinping and prevent this matter from causing unwarranted twists and turns." Chen Yi agreed.
"Okay, I will arrange for someone to take charge of this matter."
After the sale was concluded, the two of them chatted a little more about the grain and fodder they had brought with the army, as well as the subsequent transportation and replenishment of grain. Chen Yi answered them one by one without any mistakes or omissions.
At this time, the sky was bright, the soldiers had all stood up, and were feeding and watering the horses. The cooks were lighting fires to cook. The smoke rose and drifted into the air with the wind, mixing with the morning fog, making it difficult to distinguish them.
Just like today's chaotic world, right and wrong are no longer important. How to live well is the top priority.
Chen Yi resigned, and Liu Xiang went to the tent next to him to feed the horses. In fact, he mainly wanted to take a look, as he had a groom accompanying him.
Chi Tu is already twelve years old, Bai Xi is eleven years old, and the life span of a horse is twenty-five to thirty years. These two horses can be considered middle-aged, and they don't know how long they can stay with them.
It's just that Bai Xi had a difficult time raising offspring, and only gave birth to a foal, Rouge. I don't know what happened.
Chitu has given birth to several ponies with some other mares. I have to say that this guy's genes are quite strong. They are all red horses. It is really amazing to be able to give birth to bay-red horses with pure black Tieliang.
Only Rouge, the offspring of Bai Xi, is not a solid-colored horse. It has a diamond-shaped white patch on its forehead and four white hooves. Only Rouge has grown to more than 1.7 meters tall at the shoulder, which is about the same size as Red Tudu. The other offspring
The height at the shoulder is only about 1.6 meters, which makes it look smaller than Chi Tu.
Touching the cheeks of Bai Xi and Chi Tu, these two middle-aged horses have become much calmer. They just snorted and nodded as a greeting. They were no longer the same as before.
They bumped into each other again, extremely naughty.
Sure enough, like a middle-aged couple, their passion has been exhausted, right?
Liu Xiang smiled and shook his head, and together with the groom, he fed them with fine feed, fodder, and water. He took a big comb to comb their mane and tail hair, and then walked back to the Chinese army's tent to listen to the scouts' instructions.
Make a return.
There are scouts keeping an eye on the enemy camp at night, and now it's time to change shifts.
Anping's army of more than 6,000 cavalry, with more than 2,000 chariots, was the vanguard of the pursuit of Chun Yuqiong. The infantry would come after capturing Guangqi. Liu Chong's army was divided into two groups, and one went directly south to seize Xiao County.
, one group is marching to Liuxian County, preparing to capture the county seat and then come back to rendezvous.
Because he was afraid that Chunyu Qiong would abandon the camp again, he set up camp very close to each other, only three miles away. For the army, this distance was equivalent to standing on the tip of a knife.
Both armies were very nervous.
The screams of the scouts' clashes at night could be heard in the camps on both sides. The lighting fires outside the camps made each other clearly visible, and the smoke from the morning cooking was all connected together.
The soldiers were under great pressure.
Very big!
But the Anping Army can hold on, but I wonder if the other side can hold it, and whether they can sleep at night?
Military camps are located next to each other, so it shouldn't be considered harassment, right?
The enemy troops had been marching under pressure since the second half of the night the day before yesterday. They marched for a whole day and a half, and they probably didn't sleep well last night. If they continued for a few more days, they would not be able to sleep well.
Will it roar?
Very scary!
Liu Xiang experienced Yingxiao and was so frightened that he almost peed.
