Chapter 498: Borrowing the Huan Country
Of the 30,000 Liang troops who sealed the city, at least more than 10,000 were killed in the chaotic battle, and the others were either scattered or hid somewhere.
The last thousands of remnants of the army also withdrew from the north gate with Tang Yue.
On the Qin army's side, Peng Shuangyi led more than 1,000 cavalry to pursue for a while, but the general of a country is not so easy to kill.
After a night of fierce fighting, until dawn, the Qin army fully occupied the blockade.
At this time, after the chaotic battle, the streets and alleys everywhere were full of corpses and bloodstains, a tragic trace.
In such a way, where do ordinary people dare to go out, the whole city is silent.
The soldiers of the Qin army began to clean up the battlefield.
Xiao Yuan stood on the main street, quietly watching this scene.
After a while, Xu Rong came over, knelt on the ground and hugged his fists and said, "King." ”
"No courtesy."
After he got up, Xiao Yuan also glanced at him and said: "In this battle, to capture the closed city, the general should be the first to take the lead, listen to the order, from today onwards, this king will appoint you as the general of Pingkou, and all the subordinates under his command will be rewarded for their military exploits." ”
Hearing this, Xu Rong was immediately overjoyed, couldn't help kneeling on the ground again, and said excitedly: "Thank you, King Longen!" ”
"Okay, you go and deal with the post-war affairs, remember, you are already the general of my Qin army, in the future, if you dare to connive at your subordinates, don't blame this king for not remembering your military exploits!" Xiao Yuan said again, the rewards and punishments are clear.
This is a stick, a date, where will Xu Rong dare in the future, and when he heard this, he immediately screamed: "Yes!" Please rest assured! The last general must obey the teachings! ”
General Pingkou can be said to be a miscellaneous name, but his military rank is the same as that of a general, and he is also a general of the regular army.
The current Xu Rong can be called a general.
With his former identity, can a mountain bandit leader be compared to a general?
Xu Rong is a person with an obvious mentality of seeking merit, and he does not shy away from the idea of wanting to get ahead, and similarly, he also has a lot of his own careful thoughts, which are very different from other Qin army generals.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the city was cleaned up, and then, Xiao Yuan made people post a notice for the people.
However, after this vicious battle in the whole city, the people will definitely not dare to go out for a few days.
On the other side, Tang Yue led the remnants and first went to the next city, but he did not stay here for a long time, but quickly returned to the main force of Youzhou.
Three days later, in Youzhou City, the meeting hall.
King Liang is not here, due to domestic government affairs, he has returned to the capital, and Xue Wu is fully responsible for the war.
Right now, there are generals of various departments standing on both sides, and Tang Yue is standing in the middle.
Xue Wu was in the handsome position, and his face was indescribably gloomy.
The situation has been reported, and seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Tang Yue couldn't help but move the corners of his mouth: "Xue Shuai, it's me who is incompetent and has fallen for King Qin's trick!" ”
In terms of military rank and title, Tang Yue is no less than Xue Wu, but the latter, as a commander, certainly has command over him in wartime.
Hearing him say this, he also said coldly: "When you were asked to keep the lockdown, what did Ben Shuai say?" Let you do everything, be careful! Knowing that King Qin is treacherous, how can he be fooled! ”
Tang Yue said in a sullen voice: "At that time, if it wasn't for Xu Hu to arrive, I would have almost killed King Qin!" It's hard to believe! ”
The civil official who went with him also hurriedly echoed: "Yes, Xue Shuai, the situation at that time was extremely complicated, who would have thought that the King of Qin would risk his life in order to make Xu Rong defeated, this, how could this be done by the monarch, it is really unexpected, and that Xu Rong, who was originally the leader of Montenegro, turned to our army, it is understandable, so ......"
It's good that he didn't speak, but as soon as he spoke, Xue Wu was undoubtedly even more annoyed, and immediately turned his anger on him: "And you!" Tang Yue Pifu, brave and strategic! Ben Shuai asked you to assist him, just because he was afraid that he would be impulsive! In the end, the lockdown was lost! ”
Under the reprimand of the coach, where did the civil official dare to refute, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and hurriedly lowered his body, but he didn't dare to speak.
Seeing Xue Wu scolding his husband, Tang Yue couldn't help but tilt his head and express his dissatisfaction.
He's not happy anymore? Seeing this, Xue Wu became even more angry, and pointed at him and said, "You say it yourself!" Lost the lockdown, how to explain! ”
"I will report to the king! It's a big deal to engage in military law! Tang Yue said with a stiff neck.
"You!" Xue Wu was extremely angry.
But he had no choice but to take Tang Yue, because this was not only because of his title and rank, but also because this general was too important to the Liang army!
Seeing this, the generals hurriedly lined up, and someone clasped his fists and said: "Xue Shuai is angry, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, a general cannot win a hundred battles, and General Tang is not responsible for this battle, but the King of Qin, who is really insidious and cunning." ”
"Yes, Xue Shuai, although the blockade is lost, our army is still there, and it can also reverse the situation......"
Everyone persuaded each other, Xue Wu borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and immediately said: "Tang Yue, this defeat, remember here first!" Make sure you make it to your sin! ”
"Yes!" Tang Yue didn't ink, and directly hugged his fists.
Next, the generals of the Liang army naturally began to discuss the loss of the lockdown and the next step of the war.
The closure of the city is equivalent to the gateway to Youzhou, and if it is lost here, Xue Wu will have to consider Xiao Yuan's next aggressive goal.
In front of the sand table, people gathered together.
Sun Yao said: "After the Qin army occupies the closed city, the King of Qin will have several offensive routes, but between the last generals, it should be impossible for them to approach Youzhou directly. ”
"Do you mean that the King of Qin will use the closed city as a place to defend and erode to the left and right, just like in Jinling?" Xue Wu asked rhetorically.
"It should be so." Sun Yao replied.
"En......" Xue Wu thought about it for a moment, and then glanced at everyone: "What do you think?" ”
"General Sun has a point." There is a bias that will be echoed.
Another humanitarian: "We don't know the next strategic deployment of King Qin, but now we should strengthen the defense line on the left and right sides of the blockade, or we can mobilize some troops." ”
"I don't think so." As a result, Xue Wu waved his hand and said, "The battle of Jinling is because King Qin urgently needs stability in the rear, but now it is different, he should want to break through Youzhou quickly!" ”
When people heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Xue Wu said again: "The current defense line will not move for the time being, as long as the next battle, other cities, unlike the blockade, will be broken overnight, then the troops on our left and right will be able to mobilize support at any time." ”
As he spoke, he also deliberately glanced at Tang Yue.
The latter's face turned red instantly.
On his side, he was studying what Xiao Yuan might do next, and the same was true for Qin Jun's side.
During the deliberations, many opinions were directly rejected by Xiao Yuan, and he was indeed more inclined to approach Youzhou.
However, Shangguan Wenruo said: "Xue Wu's defense line is tight, and it is not easy to break through Youzhou, but we may be able to find another way." ”
Xiao Yuan's heart moved, and he couldn't help but look at him.
The latter continued: "Borrowing the country of Huan. ”
