Chapter 157 Planning the Hetao area and rushing to the aid of Cheng Yaojin (fourth update, please subscribe)
"This is what I should do."
Looking at the performance of Zhang Xun and other generals, Wu Zhan seemed to understand something.
He shook his head, feeling a little sad for no reason.
On the battlefield, human life is like a piece of grass.
He just did what he thought he should do, and unexpectedly, it seemed to be a great gift.
It has to be said that this is the tragedy of countless dynasties in the vast history.
"Fengxiao, apart from the battle damage in Jubeicheng, what is the damage situation of the various reinforcements?"
After a while, Wu Zhan cleared away the haze between his brows and asked again.
Guo Jiadao: "My lord, General Ma Chao's 70,000 Wu Jiajun cavalry were the most severely damaged. They were blocked in two fierce battles, and a total of nearly 10,000 people died in the battle. The remaining 60,000 Wu Jiajun cavalry, nearly everyone was injured."
"General Xue Rengui's casualties are limited. The casualties of about a thousand people are within the tolerable range."
"General Huang Zhong, General Ran Min, including the large army led by you, have not suffered any major losses. The total battle losses are only about a thousand people."
After listening to Guo Jia's report, Wu Zhan's pupils narrowed slightly.
In the battle of Jubeicheng, apart from the losses suffered by the defenders of Jubeicheng, the losses of other reinforcements were actually greater than the losses in the decisive battle with Lin Wu, which was unexpected in a military battle.
Of course, the main reason for this loss lies in Ma Chao's Wu Jiajun cavalry.
Ma Chao indeed encountered a tough opponent. A Ba Lang almost killed Ma Chao.
He also caused Ma Chao's men to suffer heavy losses in battle.
This has also aroused a high degree of vigilance for military warfare.
It seems that among the major dynasties, there are still many beings who are comparable to the famous generals under his command.
In the future, we should be more vigilant when marching and fighting.
"Fengxiao, do you think it's enough to kill the millions of soldiers of the Northern Desert Royal Court in this battle?"
After digesting the damage from the battle, Wu Zhan asked Guo Jia again.
Guo Jia is a smart man. He heard the whole story and guessed some of Wu Zhan's thoughts. At that moment, he asked tentatively: "Does the lord want to expand the results of the war?"
"That's right."
"I think the millions of cavalry in the Northern Desert may not be enough to let them know the pain."
"I don't know about filial piety, do you have any suggestions?"
Wu Zhan's mind was all about how to further expand the results of the victory, so that while the Northern Desert Royal Court suffered a lot, he also wanted to reap the corresponding benefits.
This time, the annihilation of one million cavalry of the Northern Desert Royal Court only shows that he is strong enough and has the power to protect Jubei City and even the three northern roads.
However, Wu Zhan doesn't just want to know how to defend.
If he wanted to show off his edge, he had to at least bite off a piece of meat from the Northern Desert Royal Court.
"I remember that my lord once obtained a golden order from Nadaraha."
"That golden order can command the Blood Eagle Tribe of the Northern Desert Royal Court."
Guo Jia thought for a while and said.
"Exactly."
Wu Zhan didn't quite understand what Guo Jia meant.
Maybe he wanted to make a fuss about the Blood Eagle Golden Token.
"Fengxiao, please tell me your thoughts in detail."
After calming down, Wu Zhan gave instructions to Guo Jia.
Guo Jia did not hesitate and said directly: "My Lord, did you know that the Blood Eagle Tribe is located in the Hetao area not far north of Jubei City?"
"The Hetao area was originally owned by the Great Xia Dynasty. Later, due to some reasons, the Great Xia Dynasty handed over the Hetao area to the Beimo Royal Court."
"As far as I know, there are two large tribes in the Hetao area, one is the Blood Eagle Tribe and the other is the Red Snake Tribe."
"The two major tribes have been fighting for dominance in the Hetao area for many years."
Having said this, Wu Zhan already understood what Guo Jia wanted to do.
He answered: "So, Fengxiao, you want to use the Blood Eagle Golden Order in my hand to provoke a war between the two tribes. After that, the snipe and the clam will fight for the fisherman's profit. I only need to send a general to take advantage of it."
When they are both losing, we can break into the Hetao area, destroy them, and conquer the Hetao area."
Guo Jia smiled and said: "My lord is right."
"That's it, that's it."
When the time came, Wu Zhan discussed the details with Guo Jia again.
"Report, my lord, General Cheng Yaojin sent someone to send an urgent secret message."
Suddenly, a soldier hurried to the main hall, holding a secret letter in his hand, and reported it.
"Cheng Yaojin's secret letter?"
Wu Zhan immediately thought that the war in the northwest must be going wrong.
Otherwise, based on his previous instructions to Cheng Yaojin, as long as Cheng Yaojin can still block the Great Wilderness Dynasty, there will definitely be no letters.
He hurried forward to take the secret message and quickly opened it to browse.
After Wu Zhan read the letter, he glanced at the generals present and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, Cheng Yaojin has sent a message. The situation in the northwest is in danger."
"The Fierce Wolf General of the Great Wilderness Dynasty has received reinforcements from the Great Wilderness Dynasty, plus the 1.1 million troops from the two northwest routes."
"Now, there are two million troops under the command of the Fierce Wolf Army, and General Fierce Wolf has personally taken command of the expedition. Cheng Yaojin had a premonition that something was wrong, so he retreated to Jingshang Pass and asked me for help."
After saying this, all the generals immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
Previously, the reason why Cheng Yaojin was able to win consecutive battles and defeat the armies of the Great Wilderness Dynasty one after another was because Cheng Yaojin himself was strong enough.
Another important reason is that the enemy General Fierce Wolf has not taken action himself, and the enemy forces are only small forces fighting Cheng Yaojin, seeming to be worried about something.
At present, the two million troops of the Great Huang Dynasty are moving together. It must be that the King of Huang has a new order to convey it.
With King Huang's support, General Fierce Wolf no longer had any scruples. After taking charge personally, Cheng Yaojin's situation undoubtedly became very dangerous.
"Lord, we invite you to fight."
Without waiting for the order to fight, Ran Min, Luo Cheng, Huang Zhong, Zhou Tai and others all asked for battle.
Even Ma Chao and Zhang Xun, who were seriously injured, also wanted to fight.
After Wu Zhan glanced at the generals, he did not agree to their invitation to fight.
Instead, he brewed in his heart. This time, he rushed to the aid of Cheng Yaojin and recaptured the two northwest roads. There was no room for failure.
However, the plan just made with Guo Jia to seize the Hetao area cannot be given up.
He must make reasonable personnel arrangements after weighing the pros and cons.
For a long time, the hall fell into silence, and the generals did not dare to disturb the martial arts battle.
They all almost knew that Wu Zhan was definitely considering candidates.
Everyone looked at Wu Zhan with anticipation.
As a military general, who doesn’t want to lead troops in battle and make achievements?
"Everyone will obey the order."
Following the sudden burst of orders for martial arts, all the generals were inexplicably startled.
His body couldn't help but straighten up a bit.
"Ran Min, Luo Cheng, Ma Chao, and Zhang Xun, the four of you stay, and I will leave all the cavalry with you. In addition, I will send a message to Xin Qiji, asking him to lead 10,000 Wu family cavalry to join you.
"
"I will also leave you with 100,000 cavalry horses and equipment, as well as 340,000 Wu family troops. You need to select suitable candidates from these 340,000 Wu family troops as soon as possible and train them with me.
The Wu family's cavalry consists of 100,000 troops."
