"I am willing to hand over my life to the country, and all my actions in Shen Qiancheng from now on are for the prosperity of the country! It's all for the rights and security of the people of the motherland! ”

Now, many years have passed since that incident, and many memories have been blurred, Shen Qiancheng only remembers that after she finished speaking, the mentor's relieved expression, and that unforgettable sentence, "Very good, you have to remember that you live for the people!" ”

Live for the people, what are the people? Why did she live for them? Until now, Shen Qiancheng has never understood what she is living for. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But at this moment, after seeing the war scenes full of gunpowder, the battlefields that became ruins after the war and the crippled and seriously injured soldiers, she seemed to understand all of a sudden, all these years, what she has done is just to not want more people to be injured, that's all.

"Look at this ruined battlefield, are you sure you can leave to return to Guangling after half a month?" After being silent for a long time, Shen Qiancheng slowly asked.

Hearing this, Gu Tianjin was stunned, then his eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "If they can't walk with me, they can only wait for their injuries to heal before leaving, because I must leave to return to Guangling in half a month, otherwise the court of the Southern Wei Dynasty will change the sky, and no matter how bad Gu Lingxuan is, he is also a genuine prince." ”

Looking at Gu Tianjin's solemn face, Shen Qiancheng's expression was abrupt, and just as she was about to say something, Gu Tianjin suddenly said in a deep voice, "Let's go, let's go back to Taishou Mansion first, and after seeing the casualties in this battle, we will make a decision." ”

Hearing this, Shen Qiancheng nodded lightly, and then quickly followed Gu Tianjin's pace.

In the Taishou Mansion, before Shen Qiancheng and Gu Tianjin arrived, the generals and lieutenants had already sat in Gu Tianjin's study, each flipping through the copywriting in their hands, talking about the losses and gains of this battle, of course, in this battle, the gains must be greater than the losses.

So when Gu Tianjin and Shen Qiancheng entered the door, they received the admiring eyes of those generals and lieutenants, after all, it was unprecedented to lose seven cities in a battle, so those generals at the moment not only looked at Shen Qiancheng with admiration, but also were in awe of Gu Tianjin.

"Your Majesty, the war has ended, just wait for the Western Chu army to withdraw to the border, and my Southern Wei army can re-enter the seven cities of Jinzhou, but I don't know how Your Majesty plans to arrange troops to garrison Feihong Pass on the border?" Seeing Gu Tianjin's figure appearing at the door of the study, a young general hurriedly stepped forward and asked respectfully.

Hearing this, Gu Tianjin didn't answer immediately, but walked to the main seat and sat down in silence, while Shen Qiancheng glanced at the young general lightly, and then lowered his eyes slightly, this young general is Wang Xuan, the grandson of Wang Jin, the patriarch of the three dynasties of the Southern Wei Dynasty, this person has an upright temperament, no wonder he would ask such a sensitive question here and now.

As soon as the Southern Wei Dynasty was victorious, Wang Xuan was in a hurry to let the Southern Wei army enter the city, if he didn't know the loyalty of the royal family, I am afraid that Gu Tianjin would already be disgusted at this moment, and he would never believe Wang Xuan again. After all, no one knows whether the Western Chu army will bury any traps and hidden dangers when it retreats, and the Southern Wei army will rush to settle in, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses.

"Where is General Wen now?" As Shen Qiancheng expected, Gu Tianjin really did not answer Wang Xuan's question, but directly asked Wen Hao's news.

Wang Xuan hurriedly wanted to reply when he saw it, but Shen Qiancheng saw it, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.

Seeing this situation, a gray-bearded general next to him seemed to gently tug at the corner of Wang Xuan's clothes, and then slowly stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Back to Your Majesty, General Wen is still cleaning up the battlefield in Jinzhou, after all, after this battle, Jinzhou is ruined." ”

Hearing this, Gu Tianjin couldn't help pursing his lips, his eyes sank slightly, he was a big gamble this time, after all, he was reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, only by giving up Jinzhou, he could take the remaining six cities in the least time with the least number of troops, in this way, it was not without compensation, but it was a pity that Jinzhou, which was one of the few prosperous cities in the Southern Wei Dynasty.

And the old general who came forward to play a round for Wang Xuan, Shen Qiancheng recognized that it was Wang Jin's friend, hussar general Ye Qing. Ye Qing has always been good friends with Wang Jin, this person is very good at observing words and feelings, and he can be regarded as a rare person with a delicate mind among the generals, if these two people are combined, they may not be able to achieve great things, but Ye is young, and I don't know how many battles he can fight for the Southern Wei Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Shen Qiancheng shook his head helplessly, he was really worried too early, and he didn't have a word about dealing with the matter of night twilight.

"How much did Jinju burn?" Steady his breath, Gu Tianjin pursed his lips and asked.

Ye Qing was stunned after hearing this, and then said in a deep voice, "From the east gate to the south gate, there are almost no intact houses, there are relatively few burned houses in the north gate, and there are almost no houses in the west gate, as for the furniture decorations of those people, they have all been destroyed. ”

Listening to Ye Qing's slightly heavy voice, Gu Tianjin breathed a sigh of relief gently, only to see that he pursed his thin lips tightly and didn't speak.

After a while, Gu Tianjin still didn't speak, Shen Qiancheng couldn't help but gently scan the people in the room, looking at their serious and heavy faces, the corners of Shen Qiancheng's lips hooked slightly, and said softly, "General Ye, I don't know how the casualties in this battle were?" ”

Hearing this, Ye Qing did not immediately answer Shen Qiancheng's question, but slowly moved his gaze to Gu Tianjin, after seeing Gu Tianjin nodding slightly, Ye Qing turned his head to look at Shen Qiancheng, and said in a deep voice, "In the past two months when Western Chu invaded my Southern Wei, there were about 114,600 casualties among the soldiers defending the city, and this attack on Jinzhou, excluding the 5,000 elite soldiers led by the military division, there were about 53,800 soldiers who died during the siege, so in the past two months, my Southern Wei has lost about 170,000 elite soldiers. ”

After a pause, Ye Qing glanced up at Shen Qiancheng's clear eyes, looking at her unwavering eyes, Ye Qing was slightly stunned, and then continued, "Among them, ten generals above the rank of colonel and above were killed, and three deputy generals. But these are just estimates, there are no exact numbers,"

With such heavy casualties, even Shen Qiancheng couldn't help but be silent, before Gu Tianjin did not drive the expedition in person, the Southern Wei Dynasty was almost pressed and beaten by Western Chu, and Wen Hao was not Gongsun Ze's opponent, and when he led his troops to fight, he was repeatedly tricked. Therefore, it will lead to the loss of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the absence of a big war, and Gu Tianjin's battle cannot be said to be a sword that is biased, if it were not for Dongfang Yan's complete unpreparedness, plus Gu Tianjin didn't care about the architectural wealth in Jinzhou City at all, Dongfang Yan would not have lost so badly.

However, although Gu Tianjin won in the end, the bloody numbers also reminded Gu Tianjin that it was not easy for him to win.
