December, 2nd.

After entering the wax moon, the temperature in Hanzhong dropped sharply, and heavy snow fell over Xicheng for three consecutive days, and the heavy snow collapsed many houses, and the moat outside had begun to freeze, and a thick layer of ice could allow people to walk over it.

City.

A mansion.

"I've been suffocated these days, and I can finally get out and walk!"

Mu Jing wrapped in a thick coat, walked on the corridor, looked at the snow around him, breathed in the fresh air, and said with some sighs.

After almost ten days of rest, Mu Jing's breath was relieved.

Among them, because his wound did not heal well, and there was a little bit of infection, he had two high fevers, and he fainted, which almost scared Zhang Ning into a masterless.

A major injury is followed by a serious illness, and the illness comes like a mountain, and the illness goes like a thread.

It was only in the past two days that he regained a little bit of strength.

This time in the gutter, but his boat was almost overturned, it was very thrilling, almost, almost, almost, if Yang Bai got up and fell, he would have become a dead man.

God still favors him.

That's what kept him alive again.

"Lord, Huang Shaochen came to them to ask to see them outside the mansion!" Huo Yu walked up and said.

"What about Zhang Ning?"

Mu Jing glanced around and asked.

"The Great Commander said in the morning that he would personally pick a few medicinal herbs, and he may not be able to come back until the afternoon!" Huo Yu said in a low voice, if Zhang Ning hadn't left the house, he wouldn't have dared to report these things.

"That's good!"

Mu Jing also breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "Call them to the side hall to see me!" ”

"No!"

Huo Yu nodded.

"Zhongheng, Huo Shao's matter ......" Mu Jing looked at Huo Yu's back, and suddenly spoke, his voice a little choked.

"Lord!"

Huo Yu turned around and arched his hand: "Huo Shao, he can die on the battlefield to protect the lord, that is an honor, the honor of our Huo family, and the honor of the entire Zhongyang Town, the lord doesn't have to mind!" ”

Jingping battalion with its own strength, hard resistance to the Han army several times the strength of the army, the tragedy of the war, it is conceivable, almost the whole army was wiped out, the captain Huo Shao, the seven military marquis, none of them survived, even the generals at the level of the commander only survived two, and the soldiers who could survive in the end were less than three hundred, the tragedy of this battle was comparable to the Great War of Kwantung.

"It's a lie to say you don't mind!"

Mu Jing sighed: "I am used to life and death on the battlefield, I even accept my father's death, but I don't know if I am too kind to a woman, or I can't see a son lying on the battlefield and not coming back!" ”

Saying that, he said with some self-deprecation: "And in this battle, the ability is a mistake of a certain person, if it weren't for the mistake of underestimating the enemy, the wrong way to let go of the front camp, and mistakenly thinking that they would survive and break through, maybe the Jingping camp would not be destroyed, and Huo Shao would not die!" ”

"This is not the heart of the Lord's wife, but the righteousness of the Lord!"

Huo Yu said in a deep voice: "The lord has such a benevolent heart, which is a blessing for our generals!" ”

"As for the issue of strategic deployment, my lord, you are a human being, not a god, how can there be so many strategies in this world, to be able to do this, the lord is no longer capable of ordinary people, the battlefield is unpredictable, everything is as good as his heart, the lord must not be vain because of this!"

With that, he turned and left.

"It seems that it is better to summon the drama Zhicai back as soon as possible!" Mu Jing thought about it and said to himself.

He asked himself to have three points of vision.

can be marched into formation, he is superior in skills after all, and many things cannot be covered, which led to the mistakes of this battle, and he almost buried himself.

…………

……

The west wing of the compound, in a side hall.

Huang Shao and Chen sat on their knees left and right, waiting for Mu Jing's arrival.

After half a ring, Mu Jing was late, and he walked too quickly, pulling the wound in his heart, so that he couldn't help coughing a few times: "Ahem!" ”

"Lord, how are you doing?"

Chen Zhi asked impatiently.

"No problem!"

Mu Jing waved his hand, asked Chen Zhi to go back and do a good job, walked to the top position by himself, knelt down, and then said: "The body is still a little weak, just cultivate for a while!" ”

"Lord, then I'll make a long story short!"

Huang Shao thought about it and hurriedly said.

He is here to report the situation, although there are some things that he can decide after discussing with Chen Zhi, but Mu Jing is the main prince, and he must look at it, and other things can be delayed, and major events in the army cannot be delayed.

"In the first battle of Xicheng, more than 18,000 soldiers under Yang Bai's command were annihilated, more than 16,000 were killed in the battle, and less than 2,000 were captured!"

"How so?"

Mu Jing squinted.

It's a killing spree.

That's more than 10,000 people, and the capture of a city is definitely a terrifying casualty figure.

This is not a war with foreign races, since ancient times, under the civil war, surrender if you can't win, death and injury are inevitable, but unless you have a deep hatred, you won't be wiped out, they are all Han people, there is no need to kill them.

It is best to be a captive, and there is no national hatred that is not shared, and there is a great chance of surrender.

Population is productivity.

This is a truth recognized by all the princes of the Central Plains.

So in this battle, the herdsmen did too much.

"The lord is no wonder of us, the lord is in distress, almost killed, of course the hearts of the soldiers are angry, that night of the battle, the Yellow Turban Army and the Jingping Army both opened the killing ring, do not kill and never seal the knife, and finally kill no one can take it, Yang Bai led the soldiers and horses that broke through the siege, and was killed by the soldiers of the two armies!"

Huang Shao said: "The captured soldiers are all soldiers in the city, and they are captured by our department!" ”

"The murderous intent is still too heavy, but there are extenuating circumstances, so this matter will be over!"

Mu Jing also knew that this matter was not easy to pursue, in the final analysis, he almost died on the battlefield and made a fuss, the board was raised high, and it was just a matter of putting it down gently, and he changed the topic: "What about the casualties of our army?" ”

"Our troops attacked Xicheng from afar, and they attacked by surprise, and the casualties were negligible!"

Huang Shao said: "And the Yellow Turban Army laboriously led a few battalions, and also counted a number, captured the Xicheng Campaign, the casualties were reduced to about 1,500, and the losses of 800 soldiers were in the attack, and then Yang Bai was besieged and killed, and the killing was too tragic, and it also caused a lot of self-damage, overall, it was still able to take over, but ......"

He looked at Chen Dao and was silent.

"The casualties of my Jingping army are tragic!"

Chen Zhi said gloomily: "There are two hundred and ninety-one remnants of the Jingping battalion, seventy-two are disabled for life, and the rest are all wounded, almost the whole army is annihilated, before the attack, the Shuofang battalion lost more than 500 soldiers, and then led the troops back, the whole army up and down, lost more than 1,000, in this battle, we suffered casualties of nearly 4,500 soldiers!" ”

"I took it for granted!"

Mu Jing sighed: "This time it can be regarded as a piece of meat bitten off by Yang Bai!" ”

He thought for a while and asked, "Yang Bai's entire army has been annihilated, and there is no movement on the Nanzheng side!" ”

"Yes!"

Huang Shao said: "According to the spies, Zhang Lu was so angry that he even drained the troops of Yangping Pass, and went all out to defend us, and the Nanzheng generation defended us without leakage, and guarded us from attacking at any time!" ”

"He has all the troops in Yangping Pass?" Mu Jing's eyes flashed with a touch of coldness: "Isn't he afraid that the Xiliang Army will go south?" ”

"He shouldn't be able to care about it now!"

Chen Zhi said: "We even broke Shangyong Xicheng, and it is estimated that he will not be scared!" ”

"Since the defense is so cautious, let's take it easy!"

After thinking about it, Mu Jing said in a deep voice.

He wanted to get a bang.

But after being bitten by Yang Bai, he was also seriously injured, and Nanzheng, who wanted to continue the attack, had more than enough strength but not enough strength, plus the coldest and coldest winter month of the year was officially coming, and it was not very rational to march into Nanzheng at this time.

"Pass on my military order, all departments will rest, and you can recruit young people locally to replenish your troops!"

Mu Jing stood up and looked at the snow outside: "The battle in Xicheng, I thought it was simple, the main force was intact, so I marched to Nanzheng, and the soldiers came to the city, but the plan is not as good as changing, and now he Yang Bai is dying and has eaten a mouthful, we must rest, this cold winter wax moon, we will stop fighting!" ”

"No!"

Chen Zhi and Huang Shao gave up their hands to express their obedience.
