Chapter 491: After the War

This battle was the biggest defeat suffered by King Liang since he took the throne.

He was full of grief and was devastated by it, and at the same time, some problems in his personality were completely exposed.

After thinking about the pain, he also stared at Wang Meng, looking gloomy.

Seeing this, Wang Meng couldn't help but slide his Adam's apple, swallowed his saliva, bowed tightly, and glanced at King Liang cautiously: "The king ......"

"It's all you!"

King Liang broke him off and said sharply: "When the decisive battle should have been, you shook the determination of this king, delayed the war, and suggested what cavalry harassment tactics to adopt, which led to the people of Jinling blaming this king!" ”

"When you shouldn't have fought a decisive battle, you made a big admonition!"

"At the time of the decisive battle, you didn't remind the king! also encouraged this king to fall into the hands of the king of Qin! ”

"If it weren't for you, why wouldn't this king be here!"

He shouted loudly, Wang Meng heard this, he was so frightened that he knelt directly on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Weichen, Weichen just wants to share the worries of the king, and I didn't expect things to be like this......"

"Shut up! You have repeatedly given wrong advice to this king, damn it! ”

King Liang was annoyed, and as he spoke, he also shouted loudly: "Someone! Put Wang Meng in prison! Wait for the fall! ”

"No!" With his words, the guards immediately stepped in, under the king's order, who cares so much, one left and one right, pulling Wang Meng and dragging him out.

"The king is angry, the king is angry......" When he was dragged out, Wang Meng was still shouting loudly.

The generals on the left and right at the scene were all frightened by this scene and lowered their heads and glanced at each other.

Cai Yan frowned.

King Liang is brutal, without the mind of the hero, and the advice of the strategist is his own duty, there must be right and wrong, as a monarch, whether you adopt it or not, it depends on your own vision.

Now you listen to other people's opinions, and in the end you fail, but you blame them all.

Such behavior also made some civilian officials of the Liang Army begin to play drums secretly, after that, do you dare to offer advice, if you don't succeed, won't you have to protect your head?

After venting his anger at defeat, King Liang looked around again, and then looked at Cai Yan: "Lord Cai, what suggestions do you have for the situation that our army will deal with next?" ”

"This." Cai Yan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Weichen still thinks that the time for a decisive battle has passed, and he should no longer confront the Qin army head-on, and should adopt a comprehensive defensive strategy, and at the same time, lobby the countries to weaken Qin together." ”

Turning from offense to defense, King Liang didn't have any opinions, and asked, "How to weaken Qin?" ”

Cai Yan said: "Weichen is willing to enter Wu Chu and other countries, and explain to the monarchs of other countries the dangers of Qin's eastward departure, King Qin, and the ambition of the world." ”

"How sure can Lord Cai be?" King Liang asked again.

"It should be more than seventy percent, the monarchs of all countries are not fools, if the Qin State is allowed to go on like this, everyone will suffer!" Cai Yan said.

"Good!" After hearing this, King Liang immediately said: "For diplomatic matters, this king will ask Lord Cai, as for the defensive strategy, the next battle deployment, what is General Xue Wu's suggestions?" ”

As he spoke, he also looked at Xue Wu.

The latter hugged his fists and said: "After the First World War, now our army's grain and grass camp has been attacked, due to lack of food, it has not been possible to wait for the follow-up supplies to arrive, therefore, the Pingjin defense line is by no means a place to stay for a long time, when the first retreat to the closed city, and then transfer the main army to Youzhou, with Youzhou, as a military defense center, in this front line, and the Qin army. ”

Youzhou in the north, an important military town.

Xue Wu's deployment is clear, the Pingjin defense line is not a city, but in the field, the city is closed, just behind the defense line, and behind the closure is Youzhou.

At that time, as long as the place named after the state, it was a giant city, like Xuzhou, Qinzhou, etc., which was far from being comparable to ordinary counties.

With the commander Xue Wu to improve the military, and the strategist Cai Yan to be in charge of the grand strategic planning, King Liang was more satisfied with this arrangement, and was ready to fight a protracted war with Xiao Yuan in the future.

And when the two countries are at war, diplomacy should not be underestimated, and sometimes, it is the key to success or failure.

Cai Yan, as a strategist, he is conscientious, quick thinking, and excellent eloquence.

On the other side, in Jinling City, the meeting hall.

Xiao Yuan stood in front of the handsome position directly above, and one after another the generals began to report one by one.

After a while, Peng Shuang walked in quickly, he was wearing a general's armor, and his robe was stained with blood in many places, after coming in, his face was excited, and he clenched his fists and said:

"Your Majesty! The last general led the cavalry, chased the enemy for 40 miles, killed nearly 6,000 enemies, captured more than 700 horses, and countless weapons! ”

"Good!" Xiao Yuan praised.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Qing strode into the meteor, and after coming in, he also had blood stains on his face, and his fists were shaken:

"Your Majesty! The last general led 30,000 troops, broke the flank of the Liang army, and beheaded the enemy, more than 9,000 people! ”

"Good!"

"Your Majesty! In the pursuit, our troops attacked and killed the tail wing of the Liang army, and the enemy army did not leave a piece of armor! ”

"Good!"

"The ...... of the King"

In this battle, almost all the generals of the Qin army went into battle to kill the enemy, and they all brought their own men and horses, more or less, all of them were killed.

Of course, in a war, although the enemy army was defeated, the Qin army was also damaged.

After listening to Zhao Mu's post-war summary, Xiao Yuan took a deep breath and said: "The enemy is outnumbered, this battle is so tragic, and we can finally defeat the Liang army, all in the courage of my soldiers, the martyrs who died in battle, record the martyrs, put away the military cards, and no one can be left out!" ”

"Yes!" Bo, the commander of the army, immediately received the order.

Xiao Yuan said again: "In addition, when the next batch of grain and grass in China arrives, let the wounded return to China with the grain transport team for treatment, subsidize military expenses, and military achievements will continue as usual." ”

"No!" Zhao Mu responded, and then said: "King, there is one more thing, because there are too many wounded in the decisive battle, it will be many days before the next batch of grain and grass arrives, and in the meantime, the military doctor may be a little too busy." ”

All units and battalions in the army have military doctors, but the battle was too tragic, and there was an obvious shortage of medical manpower.

Often, a military doctor has to take care of more than a dozen wounded, and he is somewhat in a hurry.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuan pondered for a while, and said, "Immediately post a notice, spread it to the entire Jinling, and hire a doctor with a lot of money." ”

After dealing with these, the footsteps outside the hall started again, Xu Rong hurried over, then knelt on the ground, and said respectfully:

"The last general, Xu Rong, see the king."

"Get up." Xiao Yuan said casually.

"King Xie." Xu Rong got up, didn't forget to glance at Xiao Yuan cautiously, and then hurriedly lowered his head.

Xiao Yuan looked at him and narrowed his eyes, slightly silent.

"In this battle, the Montenegrin army attacked the enemy's grain and grass, and the generals and subordinates, this king, will be rewarded for their merits."

"Huh? Thank you, King! I'm Wang Longenβ€”"

When Xu Rong heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground again, overjoyed.
