Generally speaking, if a large-scale battle with a scale of 100,000 people is not fought from morning to night, until the sky is dark, the sun and the moon are dark, the winner cannot be determined. ◎ ◎Just dispatching troops and horses back and forth is already very time-consuming
It's impressive. No one participating in the war is a wooden stake. They can be overwhelmed or overwhelmed. Of course, it will take a long time to fight repeatedly.
However, although this battle in the ancient Xia capital had a decent beginning, the ending was not as unexpected as it was.
By noon, the battle had come to an end.
Although there was no time to clean the battlefield and confirm Guo Tai's life and death, no one would doubt the possibility of Baibo reuniting. In response, the soldiers and civilians of Baibo in Anyi responded with the greatest enthusiasm and gave out deafening cheers.
, Xu Shu's mood was far from so relaxed.
This victory is just the beginning. It is just a small and inconspicuous step in the long journey ahead. If he continues according to his plan, he will encounter no fewer difficulties and obstacles than now.
He could not confirm whether the Baibo army was willing to continue moving down. Guo Tai, the Huns suffered heavy losses, and the strength of the Anyi army increased significantly. The Baibo army did not have the only option of retreating to Jizhou. Of course, Baibo who stayed in Hedong would also face
There is a new challenge, but it is not imminent after all. How will the generals choose?
Even if he is as smart as Xu Shu, he still cannot guess what everyone is thinking.
He can only wait until the Bai Bo generals take the initiative to ask him to continue or end it. For him, no matter what the opponent chooses, he has nothing to lose. But now that he is here and has reached this point, he still wants to try his best
Complete the task perfectly.
"General Yuan Zhi is worthy of being the first general under Junhou. This battle was really fought... Until now, I still feel like I haven't woken up from a dream. Otherwise, why would the overwhelming tens of thousands of enemy troops be so useless?
Where is it?"
Yang Feng said with admiration: "Yang thought he had some wisdom at first, but after following the general these days, I realized that there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the world, and there are too many heroes in this world. This kind of wisdom is simply not enough
If you can't stand it on the stage, you will have to hide your clumsiness well in the future to avoid making people laugh."
"I just captured a prisoner who was Mrs. Guo's personal guard. I asked for a few confessions. Guess what?"
Li Le came from the side, pushed Yang Feng away, and said with a smile: "Before the war started, Mrs. Guo laughed at General Yuan Zhi. General Yuan Zhi laughed at him for not overestimating his own capabilities and comparing himself to Tian Shan Leyi. The result was not good, General Yuan Zhi."
I really gave him a fire bull array, haha, Mrs. Guo is quite foresight."
"His knowledge and vision are much better than those of us. Otherwise, when we started the army, everyone wouldn't have encouraged him to be generous." Hu Cai, who followed Li Le, shook his head and said sadly: "It's a pity.
After he gained a lot of territory, he became greedy for profit. He forgot the original intention of raising the army and dreamed of fighting for the world and becoming the emperor! He also didn't think about it, is the emperor so easy to do?"
"That's right, that's right." Xu Tu also squeezed forward. As if he was afraid that others wouldn't see it, he stood on tiptoes and stretched his neck, much like a teal being carried. He shouted unconsciously: "Do it."
Emperor, that means great blessings. The so-called purple energy comes from the east, and there is also a saying: The sun rises in the east, and with a certain vision, I have traveled all over the world, but only my master..."
"Ahem... How is the battlefield being cleaned up? Is there any news about Mrs. Guo?" Seeing that the topic was getting more and more biased, Xu Shu coughed a few times, interrupting the witch doctor's professional analysis. Will Wang Yu stand on his own behalf for the Han Dynasty in the future?
There is no final conclusion within Qingzhou. To be precise, no one has raised this topic publicly at all.
Xu Shu is a free and easy person and doesn't have much thought about this.
Wang Yu proclaimed himself emperor, and he would not have any objections. Since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the alternation of dynasties in the Central Plains has been normal. The Han Dynasty took over the Qin Dynasty and replaced it. It was said that the emperor of Qin had lost his moral character, but the Han Dynasty
Is it not true that moral corruption has caused the world to be in chaos now?
In this case, there is nothing unjustifiable in the future when the master of the family unites the world and re-establishes the great unification.
Of course, if the lord wants to be loyal to the Han Dynasty to the end, Xu Shu has no objection. Although doing so will leave hidden dangers for the future political situation, after all, that will happen after the world is reunited.
Xu Shu likes and is good at using his own resourcefulness, but only when facing enemies. He has no interest in intrigues with his colleagues.
Of course, he was also curious about Wang Yu's real thoughts. During the night conversation when he left Gaotang and went to Hedong, he raised this question implicitly. After getting Wang Yu's answer, he completely put the matter aside.
Get it out of your head and stop thinking about it.
Wang Yu's thinking was similar to that of Xu Shu. There was no sense of foolishness and loyalty, and he didn't talk much about righteousness. He just raised two concerns. After listening, Xu Shu put his curiosity aside.
As for how to deal with this matter in the end, Wang Yu has no mature ideas for the time being, but at least on the surface, the Qingzhou Army is still the hussar army of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, topics such as proclaiming the emperor to replace the Han Dynasty cannot be discussed in the army.
It is even more taboo to discuss this matter publicly, and to talk about it to the outside world. Xu Tu's status is not high, and he knows limited secrets. He can ignore the importance, but Xu Shu cannot make such a mistake.
Xu Tu spoke too fast. Even though Xu Shu responded very quickly, he still couldn't stop the former in time. Bai Bo and the three generals looked at each other with unexpectedly long eyes.
Li Le had the most outspoken temper and shouted aggrievedly: "General Yuan Zhi, do you treat us as outsiders? You must know that we are also old ministers of the Little Heavenly Master! It was he who refused to take us away in the first place
, It’s not that we ourselves are unwilling! If the old man was willing to nod at that time, at least I would definitely follow him!”
"If the Little Celestial Master opens his mouth, who can not follow him?" Hu Cai echoed: "I, Old Hu, were really confused at first. I could have asked the two boys at home to follow the Little Celestial Master, but if I really did that,
, those two boys should be somewhat promising now. Alas, the blame is on that stinky woman, who is reluctant to let go of her son. The true God is right in front of her, but she doesn’t know how to worship..."
He gritted his teeth viciously: "When I turn around and have time, I'll see if I don't slap her!"
Xu Shu had no time to pay attention to Hu Cai's family problems. He keenly heard the implication of the second general's words, and immediately turned to Yang Feng who had been silent: "Brother Yang, what do you mean..."
"General Yuan Zhi, to tell you the truth, when we were cleaning up the battlefield just now, a few of our old guys met and made some calculations. What's the result? It's almost time for Old Han to finish his work. When he comes, let him follow you by himself.
Said. Anyway, we are not outsiders, and we will have to rely more on General Yuan Zhi to take care of us in the future."
"I don't dare take this seriously." When it came to this, there was no need to interview Han Xian. Xu Shu also knew everyone's thoughts. While he was in high spirits, he also felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier.
"You don't dare to take it if you don't want to do it." Yang Feng waved his hand and laughed: "What a man values is to do his part. General Yuan Zhi, you are already famous in the Central Plains. In today's battle, even the third assistant and the Western Frontier will hear about you.
You have become the first general under the champion, who else can take on the role besides you, the general?"
"This is not modesty, it is really unworthy!"
Xu Shu shook his head repeatedly: "My lord has many talents under his command. Ziyi brother is brave and domineering. He rushes to the battlefield and kills generals and seizes the flag. He is unparalleled in the world. Zilong himself is already one of the few masters in the world. His ability to make decisions on the spot and seize the opportunity of the battle is like a divine gift.
; General Huang is an unparalleled marksman; the two brothers Gongming and Wenze each have their own abilities... they are nothing more than juniors and underachievers. How can they be worthy of being called the number one general?"
When Yang Feng and others saw that Xu Shu's expression did not seem to be fake, they were even more amazed.
Just Xu Shu resolved the dead situation in Hedong. If he stayed and took charge of the overall situation, what would be the difficulty for the Baibo Army to gain a firm foothold? Maybe they could even launch a counterattack against the Xiliang Army. The battle in which General Xu became famous,
Isn't it just using the human sea tactic?
Listening to what Xu Shu said, there are so many people in Qingzhou who can compete with him, or even win. Xiao Tianshi's business in the past two years is indeed not an ordinary boom.
Thinking of this, Yang Feng felt hot in his heart and whispered: "General Yuan Zhi, can you explain to us what the Little Heavenly Master... actually planned? Do you really not want to..."
"Is this something..." Xu Shu had already tried very hard to bring this topic to an end. However, in troubled times, people's hearts are the most sensitive to this, but they cannot ignore it just because they want to. He pondered slightly, and finally whispered
He said: "Brother Yang should ask the lord personally about this matter in the future."
"Why do you need to ask the Lord in person?" Yang Feng opened his mouth, but before he could speak, a steady voice came from behind. Xun Sheng turned around and saw Han Xian, who looked sad but looked very excited.
arrive.
"Han Xian has met General Xu." Han Xian arrived and did not rush to say hello to his companions. He first bowed solemnly to Xu Shu, then held his hand aside, like a subordinate, and reported with a bit of respect: "This is a battle for our army.
A great victory, the results have been calculated..."
"In the initial battle, our army suffered a total of more than 2,000 casualties, and Guo Taijun suffered multiple casualties. Later, he suffered a false defeat, and the enemy was unable to pursue him. Our army suffered very little damage. By the time the three generals Pan, Ma, and Pei set fire to the cattle,
After defeating the enemy, except for a few people who sprained their hands and feet due to excitement, our army no longer suffered any injuries."
"According to the current statistics, the Xiliang army abandoned a total of 920 corpses on the battlefield, with countless armors and weapons; the Huns suffered greater losses, with 2100 corpses alone, and the rest,
There were also many injured; the largest casualties were from Guo Taijun. Of the 57,000 men and horses before the war began, more than 20,000 were killed in the battle. Thousands of others drowned while crossing the river. Most of the remainder surrendered, and ten fled the battlefield.
There is no one left..."
"No trace of Mrs. Guo was found. Some soldiers said that they saw him going to Sushui surrounded by his bodyguards. There were too many drowning people and there was no time to salvage them. Even if they all were salvaged, it would be difficult to confirm whether Mrs. Guo was among them...
…”
"Then forget it, this person is no longer capable of doing evil, just let him go without any delay." Xu Shu replied casually, without caring. When he asked Han Xian, he showed a bit of solemnity.
: "General Han, have you made your decision?"
"The talent of the last general may be enough to serve as a county magistrate, and he can guard a county and a county, but he is unable to guard one area. Now, although Guo Tai is in a state of despair, but the anointed land east of the river, Xiliang people, Qianghu, Hanoi, and Bingzhou
of
All heroes are tigers and wolves. If Han doesn't understand the general situation and tries his best to defend, he will eventually fall into the same predicament. If he doesn't return to Zhengshuo with General Xu today, will he have to wait for the general to come to rescue him if there is trouble in the future? "
As he spoke slowly, he looked at his companions who shared life and death. Yang Feng and the other three looked back calmly, with clear eyes.
With the unreserved support of his companions, Han Xian was more confident and said categorically: "The road ahead will be difficult and dangerous, but with the protection of Huang Tian and the care of the Little Celestial Master, as long as we work together and act according to General Yuan Zhi's plan, we will be able to achieve victory again."
Why worry about not succeeding? General Xu, don’t worry, we have made up our minds, no matter what the future holds, we will never hesitate!”
"Yes, that's what I mean!" Li Le and Hu Cai echoed loudly, while Yang Feng smiled and nodded slightly.
"Okay!" Xu Shu said with enthusiasm: "In that case, I will do my duty. The generals will obey the order, send orders to the entire army, quickly clear the battlefield, abandon all unnecessary baggage, and set out overnight to march to the east!"
"I will obey your orders!" All the generals agreed loudly.
