On May 6, under the city of Xindu, the Yan army camp, early in the morning.

The sky is cloudless, and the rising sun sprinkles its own light on this land.

Ji Kang rested well last night, and after getting up and washing, he was in good spirits.

Seeing Changguo Junle come in to pay respects, Ji Kang waved his hand and stopped him from saluting.

"Chang Guojun, excuse me, sit down and talk!"

"No." Rakuma clenched his fists, sat down, and looked up at Ji Kang.

Ji Kang asked, "Chang Guojun, what were the results of yesterday's battle?" Has it been counted? ”

Last night in the king's tent, Ji Kang briefly discussed with Rong Yan, Lejian, and Wang Shi, there were many things after the war, and the work of counting the results of the battle was handed over to Changguo Junlejian to preside.

"King Qiqi, after our army defeated the Zhao army yesterday, due to heavy rain, all armies and departments were entangled with the Zhao army, and they were scattered. It wasn't until early in the morning that Weichen simply counted the results. ”

"Of the nine armies of our army that participated in the battle, six of them suffered relatively heavy casualties, and three of them needed to be reorganized. Among them, six divisions suffered relatively large losses, especially in the early stage of the campaign, the losses of the first wave of three divisions of heavy cavalry reached two-tenths, which was the largest casualty since the formation of our Yan heavy cavalry. ”

Ji Kang sighed and said to Lejian:

"Yes! From the analysis of yesterday's war, it seems that the countries of the Central Plains have mastered a lot of the operational characteristics of our army. Zhao Jun actually took a lot of measures against our Yan army. ”

Rakuma nodded, and agreed:

"Indeed, Your Majesty. The Zhao army actually adopted the methods of fire attack, blocking horse ropes, blocking horse boards, and hedging with chariots and war horses to block the charge of our heavy cavalry, and caused great casualties to our heavy cavalry army. In the future, our army will appropriately change the way heavy cavalry is used. ”

"The rest of our army, what are the casualties?" Ji Kang said to Le Jian again.

"Your Majesty, the Zhao army is very tenacious, and in addition to the heavy cavalry, our army has also suffered heavy casualties among other troops, and even the entire battalion has suffered all casualties. officers below the rank of lieutenant, with nearly 700 casualties; Forty-six officers and above were killed and seventy-three wounded. ”

"According to the total statistics, the number of officers and men of our army killed and seriously wounded in the battle is as high as more than 14,000; The number of slightly injured people is even more numerous, and the specific number will not be counted until tomorrow. ”

Lejian stood up, with a look of shame on his face, and bowed down to report to Ji Kang.

Ji Kang's face also became solemn, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Yesterday, Ji Kang came to the battlefield in person, and from these cold figures reported by Lejian, Ji Kang deeply felt the cruelty of the war, and also deeply understood the profound meaning of the phrase "one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither".

Ji Kang thought about it a little in his heart, and said to Lejian:

"In yesterday's battle, although our army suffered heavy casualties, it completely defeated the main force of the Zhao army. In the eyes of the widow, this is a great achievement. By the way, Chang Guojun, how are the casualties of the Zhao army? ”

Lejian hurriedly reported: "King Qiqi, yesterday's battle, the battlefield stretched for dozens of miles, until the city of Xindu. Dead bodies, war horses, and weapons can be seen everywhere, and the minister has completely cleaned the battlefield according to the military system of our Yan army. ”

"The dead of our army have begun to be cremated and collected, and the corpses of Zhao Jun are buried in a tomb of 100 people according to the principle of centralized disposal, or burned to avoid plague."

"The Zhao army's war horses, armor, weapons and other materials are innumerable, and they are still being counted. After a preliminary count, our army beheaded about 21,000 enemy troops and captured more than 80,000 people. ”

After looking at Ji Kang's face, Le Jian paused: "Your Majesty, however, because of the heavy rain, tens of thousands of enemy troops still fled from the battlefield, and our army cannot be captured, please surrender to the king!" ”

After listening to the words of the music room, Ji Kang laughed: "Chang Guojun, our army has won a big victory, what is the crime?" After this battle, the spirit of the Zhao army has been defeated, and the tens of thousands of defeated soldiers, few people think that most people will not take the initiative to go to Handan again. ”

"But we must also attach great importance to these routs and not cause too much harm to the people nearby. Troops must be dispatched as soon as possible and dealt with as soon as possible without delay. ”

After listening to Ji Kang's words, Lejian clasped his fists and arched his hands: "What the king said is extremely true, since ancient experience, the rout of the army is extremely harmful to the people. If left unchecked, you may become a bandit, and there are many lessons to be learned. ”

"Please don't worry, Your Majesty, after these routs have fled, they won't run far now. The minister immediately arranged for our light cavalry to pursue and inspect everywhere, and these defeated troops will be collected and reorganized in the next two days. ”

The above words of the music room made Ji Kang listen to it, and his heart was very happy.

"Chang Guojun, you are right! At the end of this battle, the letter has been surrendered, and our army should take advantage of the victory to pursue at the moment, and not give Handan Zhao Army any respite, let alone give him a chance to reinforce Handan. ”

Ji Kang thought for a while, and said to Le Jian: "The widow will order Han Fei, Ju Wu and others to quickly issue a letter to the remaining counties of Zhao State, and let these counties immediately return to my Yan Kingdom." ”

Lejian bowed: "The king is shengming!" My king drove the expedition in person, and led my Yan army under the city of Xindu, no, it was under the city of Xingtai, and defeated the main force of the Zhao army in one fell swoop. Now the counties and counties of Zhao will be frightened and surrender to my Yan country. ”

When Ji Kang heard this, he laughed.

Changguo Junlejian is also very good at talking!

"General Lejian, since the first Zhao King, your Lejia has been loyal to my Yan Kingdom, and the widow sees it in his eyes and remembers it in his heart. The widow expects you very much, you have a good life to do it, don't live up to the widow's expectations of you. ”

Rakuma knows that this is the favor of his own king!

With a "poof", Lejian knelt on his knees, kowtowed and choked:

"Please rest assured, the king's family will swear to serve my king and be loyal to the Yan country."

Ji Kang stood up, came to the front of the music room, helped the music room up with his own hands, and comforted him:

"Let him pass the past, we, the two monarchs and ministers, will look forward in the future. The widow wants to be the founder of the country and establish a new dynasty. The widow believes that you, General Lejian, will also be the founder of the country. ”

"You've been working hard since yesterday, so take a break and rest. After the battle of Zhao is over, the widow will give you and the soldiers a reward for their merits. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lejian bowed and withdrew from the king's tent.

After Lejian left, Ji Kang slowly walked out of the king's tent.

Ji Kang's royal tent is a hill standing in the center of the camp, which can be said to be the highest place in the Yan army's camp. Ji Kang stood at the door of the king's tent, looking far away, only to see that under the light of the morning sun, the mountains in the distance were stacked and green, and the trees were luxuriant.

After the end of this war, although the cost was very high, the destruction of Zhao was a foregone conclusion.

As long as Handan is conquered again, the Yan Kingdom will be completely connected with the Wei Land along the Taihang Mountain Range.

In this way, the Yan Kingdom is bounded by the Outer Xing'an Mountains in the north, the sea in the east, the Hetao in the west, and the Jianghuai River in the south, and the entire territory is fully connected into a whole. Yan State is located in the north of the Central Plains, and the posture of looking at the world is fully manifested in front of the world.

The sun had slowly risen in the east, and the earth was shrouded in golden sunlight. Lakes, fields, mountains, cities, and villages in the distance are all draped in a golden garment.

Seeing this beautiful everything, Ji Kang was very intoxicated in his heart.

My Huaxia originated from this land and grew up in this land. No matter how many vicissitudes we have experienced, and no matter how many hardships we have experienced, our Huaxia can always stand up again and dominate the world in the ruins.

So it used to be! And now too! Even more so in the future!
