"Xianggong, preliminary estimate: more than 25,000 Han people were captured, and the rest of the Jurchens, Xi people, and Khitans were 658 people; More than 30,000 war horses were captured, and countless swords, guns, swords, halberds, feathers and arrows, bows and crossbows were numerous. ”

Wang Song nodded, there are very few fierce battles on the battlefield, and there are naturally very few people who can survive as prisoners in the army.

Only in pursuit battles can a large number of prisoners be captured.

It seems that although the Jurchens were able to make small cannons and earth-shaking thunder, they suffered from the lack of gunpowder to wear the formula, and their power was greatly reduced, so they naturally gave up firearms.

The Loyal and Righteous Army developed firearms, and the Xuanfu Division invested huge financial, material and manpower resources, and received strong support from Wang Song. The Jurchens were obsessed with their own riding and archery, Jin Ge and iron horses, while the Song dynasty was politically mediocre, abandoning the people like sloppy officials, and there were no officials who really did things.

"The grain and grass left by the Song army are innumerable, and there are hundreds of thousands of stones in grain alone. More than one million pieces of gold and silver and money were made. ”

"What about the casualties?"

Thinking of the bloodstains all over the ground in the wilderness, the layers of corpses of the Western Army and the soldiers of the Loyal and Righteous Army, Wang Song couldn't help frowning.

Ma Kuo's expression also changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Xianggong, this time our army and the Western army, including the people who accompanied the army, have suffered heavy casualties, which can be said to be extremely tragic, with countless casualties!"

He unfolded the statistical paperwork and read in a deep voice: "The infantry of the Loyal and Righteous Army lost 5,235 serious wounded, and countless minor wounds; The cavalry suffered 6,758 casualties, 1,091 seriously wounded, and numerous minor wounded; 263 artillery officers were killed and 39 seriously wounded; A total of 30,397 were killed and 6,365 were seriously wounded. ”

Seriously wounded and killed, sure enough, more than 30,000. Even if half of the seriously injured soldiers were able to come back, the loss would be more than 30,000. Since the formation of the Loyal Army, the greatest losses in this battle have been made.

In this battle, the loyal and righteous army of 60,000 cavalry, plus 5,000 sailors, the number of dead and wounded is more than half, and the perseverance of the soldiers can also be seen!

"What about the casualties of the Western army and the civilian population?"

After a pause, Wang Song asked.

"Xianggong, there are more than 100,000 corpses of the Western Army, the most dead soldiers of the Jingyuan Army, and more than 37,000 corpses of the soldiers and civilians, and the tragic situation is unbearable."

The 200,000 Western Army, after this battle, only left 60,000 or 70,000 people, which can be described as a great loss of vitality. It's just a pity that those unarmed soldiers and civilians thought that the Western Army had made meritorious contributions and benefited themselves, but who knew that the mud couldn't support the wall, and they became poor funeral objects.

"There are more than 50,000 corpses of the golden soldiers. Among them, the Han'er foot soldiers and captured people; Jurchen cavalry corpses, 658 captured; Part of it was caused by the battle with the Song army a few days ago, with about 10,000 foot soldiers and about 3,000 Jurchen cavalry. ”

"Jurchen cavalry corpses, 658 people captured?"

Wang Song raised his eyelids and said coldly: "In this way, there are nearly 20,000 Jurchen cavalry burning, killing and looting on the land of my Great Song Dynasty, galloping across the country, and none of these thieves have been killed, yes or no?"

The generals around him were all flushed, and they lowered their heads, Zhang Xian, Li Yanxian, including Huang Zong and others all looked embarrassed.

The Jin cavalry was powerful, and its mobility was much better than that of the Western Army and the Loyal Army. Although the loyal and righteous army had sharp firearms, the natural disadvantage of cavalry still could not destroy the opponent.

Zhang Xian's face turned red, and he stepped forward to hug his fists and said: "Xianggong, the villain is not effective in fighting, and he will be punished!"

Huang Zong and Zhu Meng said that they both stepped forward and bowed together: "Please also punish the minister!"

Wang Song waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, don't blame, it's just that when I think of these thieves still riding horses and slaughtering people in the territory that my ancestors have built with great difficulty, my heart is like a knife, and it really hurts my heart!"

Everyone worshiped again, and they were all moved in their hearts, and their feelings of respect arose.

Tens of thousands of people gathered together, panicked. These poor people who survived the catastrophe fled in all directions on the night of the Song army's rout, and finally saved a life.

"Second Brother Zhang, what do you say these loyal and righteous soldiers are recruiting us back?"

Zhao Fugui snorted, put his hand in the sleeve of his padded jacket, squatted on the ground and asked.

"How do I know?"

Zhang Er was wrapped in a red cloak that he had gotten out of nowhere, and his face was frostbitten. He rubbed his stomach and said, "I've been hungry for a day and a night, let's see if I can eat something first."

Liu Si clipped his hands together, wore a dirty hanging leg head, and said in a low voice: "I think these loyal soldiers are good. They can beat them away, not like soft-footed ghosts. ”

"Go over there and get a bowl and eat!"

With the shouts of the soldiers, the people lined up one by one to receive bowls and rice, and the queue formed a long queue.

After eating, I helped identify the body, went to the military camp over there to register, and received 50 catties of food and 10 yuan of money. Let's go back and live a good life! ”

The words of the officers immediately provoked a loud noise, and the people knelt down all over the hills, ignoring the blood stains on the ground.

"Avalokiteshvara!"

"God bless the prince and the loyal army!"

"Long live Wang Xianggong!"

"When I met the families of the people who were killed, I told them to go to Jingzhao Mansion for 20 yuan and 100 catties of food per person."

This time, almost all the people knelt down. Everyone kowtowed again and again, as if they were on a pilgrimage.

A bowl of porridge and a bowl of horse meat, Zhang Er's tongue almost let himself bite off.

Seeing the soldiers in the field dark and strong, not moving in the cold wind, like sculptures, Zhang Er couldn't help but swallow his saliva, this is what he brews!

"Xiaguan Yue Fei, lead all the troops under your command back to the camp to deliver the military order!"

In the big tent, the iron armor is solemn, and all the generals are holding their heads up, solemn, and extremely solemn!

Wang Song nodded and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, sit down and talk!"

Everyone shouted loudly together: "Xie Xianggong!"

"Commander Yue, how about you lead the army to attack?"

"Xianggong, the villain led people to pursue from all directions, and captured a total of 3,126 Jurchen cavalry and 547 Han'er. Now Wanyan Zonghan led the army north. Whether to fight or retreat, please make a fair decision!"

After listening to Yue Fei's advice, Ma Kuo said loudly: "In such a battle, the Jurchen cavalry suffered heavy losses, like a frightened bird. Xianggong, why don't you wave your troops to the north and recover the clouds in one fell swoop?"

Yang Zaixing also said loudly: "Xianggong, the remnants of the gold thief are not to be afraid, our army will go north, and we will definitely be able to smash the Yellow Dragon in one go!"

Wang Song smiled slightly bitterly, looked at the generals in the tent, and said softly: "Brothers, although the Jin people have suffered heavy casualties, our army is also greatly injured, and we are temporarily unable to look north."

He said slowly: "When the army goes north, it will be at least more than 100,000, and 30,000 knights, preferably in summer." If the decisive battle is fought in the land of Yanyun in winter, dripping into ice, and the climate is very cold, our army will definitely be defeated. ”

Yue Fei nodded and said, "What Xianggong said is very true. This time, our cavalry suffered huge losses, and it would take time to train new soldiers. The three armies have not moved, grain and grass go first, and logistics baggage is the top priority, once they go north for thousands of miles, heavy grain and grass will become the foundation. ”

Yue Fei bowed solemnly and said: "Xianggong, the villain led his brothers to pursue, captured the prisoners of the Jin people and interrogated them, and all said that Yan Lou was killed in battle. Whether this matter is true or false needs to be investigated. ”

Wang Song was pleasantly surprised, and laughed and said: "The prisoners' questioning is the same, although the body is not snatched back, the Yan Lou room will definitely die!" What a blessing!"

The generals in the tent also cheered, and everyone bowed together: "Congratulations to Xianggong!"

He knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists, "Thank you."

Xianggong is in addition to the dog thief in Wanyan Lou's room. All the brothers of the martyrs of the villain and the army of the family, thank you!"

Wang Song stepped forward, helped Chong Yan, saw that his eyes were red, and said in a deep voice: "The ancestors of the Seed Family are loyal and martyrful, and the Seed Family Army died on the battlefield, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty will remember them." In this land of Shaanxi, this official will build a martyr's shrine to worship and cherish these martyrs for future generations to pay respect!"

He bowed solemnly and said, "Thank you for your justice!"

Wang Song swept away the unhappiness in his heart and said loudly: "Brothers, although we have not been able to completely annihilate the invading Jin people this time, we have dealt a heavy blow to the Jurchen army, and all the armies will be rewarded after returning."

Everyone was overjoyed, and they bowed again: "Thank you!"

Liu Qi stepped forward and said: "Xianggong, when the last general was chasing the enemy soldiers, he encountered a group of routs who ransacked and burned Xinping City. The villain was angry, and took his brothers to kill this group of defeated troops, and asked the minister to forgive his sins. ”

After listening to Liu Qi's explanation, Wang Song was furious and said: "Good kill!" These beasts are inferior to beasts, but they are a shame to the soldiers of our generation! How can a soldier defend his family and defend the country and protect the people, how can he do such a heartbreaking, wolf-hearted and dog-lung act! If there is something like this, one word, kill! No mercy!"

Everyone stood solemnly and said together: "Obey the teachings of the Prime Minister!"

Dong Xian stepped forward and said, "Xianggong, the villain pursued the rout army to the south, and encountered a similar thing in Jingzhao Mansion. The villain drove away the rebels and killed the leader of the rout. The people of Chang'an begged bitterly and refused to let our army leave. Please also make a decision. ”

"The Jin people did evil, bandits were rampant, and the government ignored them. Unexpectedly, in the land of Guanzhong, the capital of the emperor, there are only 30,000 people. Xianggong, no matter what, we have to take care of it!"

Everyone was gossiping, but Wang Song was silent, as if he was thinking.

Ma Kuo said in a deep voice: "Brothers, I don't know, our army sent troops this time just to kill and injure the Jin people. If troops are sent to occupy Jingzhao Mansion, I am afraid that the imperial court will complain, and the prime minister will hesitate to do so. ”

Huang Zong shook his head and said: "Xianggong, if you don't take it, you will be blamed!" Now that the people of Guanzhong are waiting to be fed, and their lives are on the verge of death, why should the minister disregard the will of heaven for the sake of outsiders, isn't it ridiculous!"

Wang Song stood up, bowed deeply, and said in a deep voice: "It's pedantic, thank you Huang Gong for teaching!"

He pondered for a moment, raised his head, and said, "Wang Yan, Dong Xian, Wang Lun, listen to orders!"

Dong Xian and Wang Lun stood up and bowed: "Wang Yan, Dong Xian, and Wang Lun are here!"

"This official appointed Wang Yan as the commander of the Shaanxi garrison and stationed in Shaanxi; Dong Xian temporarily served as the capital of Jingzhao Mansion and guarded Guanzhong; Wang Lun was appointed as the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture and the ruling party. The three of you take 2,000 cavalry and 3,000 foot soldiers, select people to escort grain to Jingzhao Mansion, rescue refugees, and pacify military bandits and thieves, there must be no mistake!"

He said word by word: "From tomorrow, there can't be a single starving citizen in Jingzhao Mansion, you two can do it?"

Dong Xian, Wang Yan, and Wang Lun bowed together and said, "Obey the military orders of the Prime Minister." Go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up!"

Dong Xian and a few people left, and Huang Zongsu bowed and said: "Benevolence and righteousness, the luck of all the people in Shaanxi, let me bow down next!"

Everyone in the tent also stepped forward together and bowed: "Benevolence and righteousness, accept me and wait for you!"

Everyone dispersed, Huang Zong stepped forward, looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he lowered his voice and stepped forward.

"Xianggong, if you want to destroy the Western Xia and expedition to the Western Regions, without Shaanxi, you can't. In the future, Xianggong can follow the story of Huo Yao in the Han Dynasty, ten thousand horses into Hexi, soldiers under Yanzhi Mountain, Yangguan and Yumen Pass, together under the rule of my Central Plains Dynasty, this is the king's hegemony, Xianggong should take precautions and plan as soon as possible. ”

Wang Song's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but chant those two eternal sentences:

"Persuade you to have a glass of wine, and there is no one in Yangguan in the west."
