Several diplomatic experts from Qingzhou did not come with them this time.
Before the war, Wang Yu had an in-depth understanding of Hu Qi's fighting methods. He was originally prepared for a protracted battle. However, the battle situation experienced several ups and downs, allowing him to complete his initial goal ahead of schedule.
Transferring people now? Traveling all the way from Gaotang to Jixian, and then walking a longer distance to Liaodong is too much trouble. Historically, Guo Jia died of illness on the way to Liucheng. Wang Yu was not willing to let Kong Rong
, Lu Su also went through such trouble.
What's more, Kong Rong and others have been very busy recently.
With the rapid growth of Qingzhou's population and the comprehensive rollout of county and county schools, Qingzhou's education system, represented by Taishan Academy, is also experiencing severe tests. The biggest problem is also the lack of people.
Kong Rong and his group of celebrity friends originally just had a name in the academy, and they just took their salary and did nothing. They were a bunch of different people. It wasn't that they were unwilling to help, but mainly because Wang Yu didn't trust them, fearing that they would use the celebrity stuff.
He was brought to the academy and his academic style was ruined.
But Cai Yong doesn't care so much, the old man is anxious!
Qingzhou's expansion speed is too fast. From the beginning of half Qingzhou plus one Taishan County, it has become a behemoth spanning four states. It has more than 200 counties under its jurisdiction. Each county has five instructors stationed.
Thousands of people!
Although the demand is huge, Taishan Academy has been accumulating it for more than four years. It still has this foundation, but no matter how large the supply is, it cannot withstand the demand from all directions.
The newly occupied territories require officials, the Northern Expedition requires a large number of military staff, and several overseas colonies also require a lot of manpower. In addition, there are still a considerable proportion of students in the academy who are not suitable for counselors in government affairs and military technology...
After the Northern Expedition army set off, Cai Yong was immediately overwhelmed.
At this time, how can we let a group of idlers exist? The old man directly arrested the strong men of this group, not only Kong Rong, but also Mi Heng was dragged into his trap.
When he got the news, Wang Yu thought about it for a while. Does Mi Heng teach? Aren't the students he teaches all angry youths? The kind who scolds whoever he catches?
Anyway, Kong Rong couldn't escape for a while, and Wang Yu felt that this great scholar was not suitable for this task.
To deal with Gongsun Du, you have to use both soft and hard tactics. Kong Rong is eloquent, but he may not have the insight to convince the opponent, let alone Ni Heng. The number one scolder in Qingzhou is only suitable for issuing a declaration of war.
In the end, only Lu Su was left.
Wang Yu weighed it up and felt that Lu Su's role in staying in Lu State might not be very great, so it was better to transfer him to Youzhou to help. In fact, thinking about it carefully, Zhuge Liang was also quite suitable. Historically, his mission to Soochow was quite impressive.
But seeing how busy Zhuge Liang was in the past few days, Wang Yu could only give up this idea.
Orders were sent out like a stream, and responses took a long time. In addition to considering future strategies during this period, Wang Yu was mainly busy with post-war pension work.
Since the beginning of the war in Youzhou, although the Qingzhou Army has performed triumphant songs all the way, battle losses are inevitable. Especially in the decisive battle of Juyong, the total casualties of the Qingzhou Army exceeded 5,000, and the losses were as huge as that of Gaotang.
Great war.
The greatest losses were suffered by the Taishan Army, especially those battalions formerly known as the Yellow Turban Army. The casualty rate was nearly twice as high as that of the Guefeng Battalion, which was arrayed in front with horse-cutting swords, and the Battalion Battalion, which was protected on both wings by heavy armor.
.
The losses of these battalions alone exceeded 4,000. Every living person was injured. In addition, the other two battalions were also used by Wang Yu as the main battle force and were at the forefront of the fierce battle. The total losses added up.
It reached five thousand.
The losses to the Guards cavalry were also huge. They were on the front line from the very beginning of the war and were once frantically besieged by tens of thousands of cavalry regardless of losses. Of course, the losses were not small.
However, it was similar to the battle in Jumashui. Many of the cavalry were injured but did not die. The defensive power of the full-body plate armor was too high. The inferiority of Hu Qi in terms of equipment was extremely obvious in the fight with the cavalry.
According to the final statistics, although everyone on the cavalry was injured, the number of casualties was only over three hundred, which was completely different from the heavy casualties suffered by the Taishan Army.
The one with the fewest casualties was the Hidden Mist Army. The characteristic of Qingqi was to avoid the strong and tend to the weak. Although Taishi Ci and Wei Yan did not have Zhao Yun's unusually sharp intuition, they were not foolhardy men.
They carried out Wang Yu's instructions well and accurately hit the weak points of Hu Qi's formation, forcing Hu Qi and the main force to collide head-on, laying a good foundation for the final victory.
After completing the mission, the two light cavalry stayed away and were not involved in the bitter battle in the middle. They did not join in the counterattack and pursuit until the final stage. Therefore, the losses were quite small, and the casualty rate was less than 10%.
The soldiers took this very seriously. After all, they won the battle and the results were brilliant.
Post-war statistics show that Hu Qi left nearly 40,000 corpses on the battlefield under Juyong City alone. According to the intensity of the subsequent pursuit, there were at least thousands of beheadings. In addition, in the days after the war,
After the suppression, Hu Qi's final losses should be more than 50,000.
Prior to this, Yu Jin also annihilated 20,000 people at Ma Ti Liang, and Zhao Yun's results were even more than 100,000. It can be said that after this battle, the Xianbei tribe near the border wall was on the verge of extinction, and the remaining threats such as Kuitou were greater than
I expected it to be much smaller.
In the past few days while Wang Yu and the generals were planning their future strategy, the soldiers were busy cleaning the battlefield. Although the spring in Youzhou is later than that in the Central Plains, there are too many corpses here. Just the ones near Juyong City
The people are busy, and the work may not be finished until next year. If so many corpses are left alone, there will definitely be a large-scale plague by the time summer comes.
Qingzhou soldiers were very experienced in doing this. Paoze's body had to be properly buried, but the Hu people's was easy. Cut off the head, pile the body together and burn it. The burned ashes were sprinkled into the fields.
The coming year will be fertile ground.
The carcasses of the war horses were left to the common people for disposal. The skin and flesh were good things. Juyong City would definitely have many of the same specialties as Gaotang in the future - various horse meat dishes.
During the Gaotang War, the post-war cleanup was very fast, because there were many refugees at the time, so this time it took a longer time. It was not until half a month later that Zhao Yun brought the rescued Han people and prisoners to join forces, and the work suddenly took off.
accelerate.
"Zilong, you are smart enough this time. You took a casual trip outside the customs and came back with such great achievements. It's not like us who are fighting life and death here, but the harvest is not even a fraction of yours. Human beings
You can't compare with others!" When Taishi Ci saw his long-lost adopted brother, his first words were full of sadness.
"My little brother is just..."
"There is no need to defend, and there is nothing to defend." Taishi Ci did not give Zhao Yun a chance to defend himself, and said reluctantly: "My lord and Kong Ming have been talking about the lack of people these days. How can you do it? You can help them in one breath."
Bringing more than 200,000 people back, this credit... tsk tsk... However, this is not the most enviable..."
He winked at Zhao Yun and said teasingly: "The most enviable thing is that you have a good harvest both in love and on the battlefield! It's not me, the older brother, who is telling you. It doesn't matter if you want to get a wife, but we are brothers, and the eldest brother is still alone."
Well, why is this younger brother of yours... Well, in this world, people's hearts are not as old as they used to be."
"Go, go, don't talk sarcastically here." Before he could laugh out loud, Wang Yu had already pushed him away: "Ziyi, it's not easy for you to get married? You are the only person with a talent like yours who wants to recruit a son-in-law.
There are so many. Yan'er has to take requests from many ladies in one day, just for this matter. Since you said so today, it will be easy to handle. I will write a letter back to Gaotang and ask Yan'er to make arrangements first.
Wait, wait until we get back from the war and we can take care of things together, how about that?"
"Eh..." At the mention of this, Taishi Ci's face turned bitter. He raised his hand and said, "My lord, please spare me. I really can't stand those young ladies."
The generals all laughed when they saw his funny appearance.
Wang Yu held back his laughter and asked: "Ziyi, you said you are already a grown-up, so why don't you care about this matter? Those eldest ladies are all ladies from famous families. Tell me, what's wrong with them?"
"Oh, it's troublesome just because you come from a famous family." Tai Shici said dejectedly: "It's the most annoying thing to know about books and be polite. I feel uncomfortable when I see those ladies, let alone marrying home? I want to marry.
...I have to learn from my lord and Zilong, but I am unlucky and have never met..."
"Me and Zilong are like this?" Wang Yu was stunned and turned to look at Zhao Yun. The latter was also confused. He turned back to look at Tai Shi Ci and found that this guy glanced at Lu Qiling quickly. Wang Yu suddenly realized: "It turns out that
So! You also like wild... ahem, well, you just have more courage and a more outgoing personality? "
Wang Yu secretly screamed in his heart that it was too dangerous. He got carried away for a moment and almost called out his savage girlfriend. Fortunately, he shut up quickly and Lu Qiling didn't pay attention. Otherwise, it would have ended badly. This girl got angry, but she didn't cry or make a fuss.
, just holding a painted halberd and competing in martial arts, who can bear it?
"Isn't that right!" Tai Shici didn't realize that he was the culprit. He slapped his thigh and was told that the matter was off the top of his head.
"This matter..." Wang Yu pondered for a moment, then showed a confident expression and said seriously: "It shouldn't be difficult."
After hearing this, all the generals looked over one after another, their eyes full of surprise.
Mrs. Lu is such a strange woman. She has been in the Central Plains for many times and there is no second one. Zhao Yun, the eldest lady of the Zhen family, is actually two different things from Mrs. Lu. The former is just a stronger character and more courageous, but she does not wear heavy armor.
, wielding a halberd, charging into battle, beheading enemies and capturing flags. But even so, he is a one-of-a-kind character.
If Taishi Ci chooses a mate like this, he is obviously asking for trouble. But the lord speaks with such confidence, is it possible that he can also count on this?
"If you don't believe me in a relationship between a monarch and a minister, who can you trust?" Wang Yu took Tai Shici in his arms and boasted without blushing: "Ziyi, you have to know that your master is also the best in the world in picking up girls.
Oh, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by me." (To be continued...)
