Today's battle can be described as a complete victory. However, the battle report of this big battle, Gongsun Du just looked at it twice and didn't want to read it, he was really a little tired after killing half a night.

Gongsun Du casually put it on the table, leaned back gently, and said with half-closed eyes: "Qingping, you should say it directly!" It's going to be a bit of a headache to look at these. ”

Headache?

Wei You didn't care if it was true or not, nodded and said, "Then it's up to the subordinates, and the lord just listens." ”

"Hmm!"

"More than ten days ago, King Zuoxian of Fuyu came menacing with 20,000 iron horses, but in the end, less than 4,000 people fled in panic, and the rest were all buried in the Liao team."

"After the inventory, a total of more than 15,000 leather armors were seized, and there were also more than 100 iron armors, which shows that these people are the elite of Buyeo."

"Except for the leather armor, the rest of the weapons were not counted according to the orders of the lord, and all were sent to the craftsman's workshop. The biggest harvest is the captured war horses, 4,886 war horses are intact or lightly injured, and another 1,368 war horses are seriously injured, but after the doctor's treatment, they will gradually recover within three months, of which 950 can continue to be used as war horses, and the remaining 400 or so can only be used as baggage horses. ”

"There are about 10,000 Buyeo war horses that died, and my subordinates suggested that they be distributed to the people in the city."

"Well, that's it." Gongsun Du nodded and said, "In addition, after the more than 400 seriously injured horses recover, they will be directly distributed to the people in the city for farming." ”

"This ......," Wei You said politely, "the current situation is unclear, and the imperial court has not supported the lord, this is a good opportunity, if you can exchange some war horses for the support of the imperial court, then ......"

Gongsun Du frowned, waved his hand and said, "If you have other plans, just do this." ”

"Yes, my lord!" Wei You didn't know what Gongsun Du's plans were, but he immediately answered.

Then he continued—

"Although we defeated the attacking Buyeo army, our losses were not small. The materials prepared by the lord to defend the city were almost exhausted, and there were still a lot of arrows, bed crossbow arrows, and catapult stones left that were not used much, and the rest were either gone, or only a small part remained. ”

"Although the consumption of materials is large, as long as we have enough time to replenish it, it is not easy to lose soldiers."

"A total of 3,651 people were killed in the battle, and another 1,985 people were seriously wounded. In this way, if we follow the previous pension, there will not be much grain and grass left over that we have just saved, and we will not even be able to last the autumn harvest. ”

Gongsun Du somewhat understood why Wei You came to him at this time, most of it was for this matter, but this is not unreasonable, grain and grass are the guarantee of the army, otherwise how could there be a saying that "the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first"!

However, since Wei You said this, there must be a solution to it, so Gongsun Du replied: "What does Qingping think, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

Wei You arched his hand and said: "My lord, my subordinates think that the popularity of the Liao team is gradually increasing, and people's needs are no longer just to be able to eat, so my subordinates suggest that the bereavement pension of the soldiers who died in battle be slightly changed, with half of the grain in the past, plus five baht equivalent to the other half of the grain as a bereavement pension." ”

Gongsun Du frowned and said, "That's a good idea, but we don't have much money?" The bereavement pension of more than 3,000 people requires hundreds of thousands of dollars. ”

Wei You replied without changing his face: "War horses have always consumed a lot, one horse is more than five people, judging from the current situation of the Liao team, if the thousands of captured war horses are all in the bag, it is likely to drag down the logistics." ”

Wei You said this very tactfully, the consumption of more than 5,000 war horses is equivalent to 30,000 troops, judging from the current situation of the Liao team, it is the limit to be able to leave 2,000 war horses, you must know that there are nearly 1,000 war horses under Gongsun Du, and another 2,000 is 3,000.

Gongsun Du nodded and didn't say anything. Wei You understood that Gongsun Du had listened to it, so he changed his words and said: "Lord, this time there is a lot of movement in Buyeo, but Changli and Xuansu did not say anything about it, especially Xuansu County, the Buyeo army passed through its Xuansu, and it was not blocked, and there was not even a letter, and the subordinates felt that they could participate in them." ”

Well?

Gongsun Du was quite puzzled, didn't he offend people by doing this? When I looked at Wei Yu and saw the cunning on his face, I immediately understood that the ginseng book was fake, and the blackmail was real. Although it's a bit insidious, who let the Taishou of these two counties leave him a handle, and he's embarrassed not to extort a sum!

Gongsun Du waved his hand and said, "I'll leave this matter to you!" ”

After a pause, he added: "However, you have to remember that food is more important than money, and people are more important than food. ”

Wei You realized that judging from the current situation of the Liao team, the role of money is indeed not as great as the role of food, and talent is the most lacking in the Liao team and even in Liaodong. However, he didn't know that although Gongsun Du also had this idea, he was more people-oriented, and he was more profit-oriented, and whichever was more beneficial was biased.

"Don't worry, my subordinates will definitely handle this matter properly." The word "proper" Wei Yu bit very hard.

At this point, Gongsun Du thought that Wei You should be about to retire, but he didn't want to, Wei You suddenly bowed down and said sadly: "The lord's subordinates are incompetent, and please ask the lord to surrender!" ”

Gongsun Du was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, this was a disguised dissatisfaction with him, not only for his own violation of his own orders, but also for Xu Rong and others, especially Yang Yi, the captain of the pro-soldiers. But Gongsun Du couldn't be dissatisfied, because it represented the concern of his subordinates for him, and he was afraid that he would have an accident, after all, the battlefield was ruthless, and if he was not caught off guard, he might lose his feet and capsize in the gutter.

Therefore, after Gongsun Du repeatedly said that he would pay attention in the future, Wei You was relieved to leave with confidence.

It's just that Gongsun Du couldn't help but ask himself in his heart: "This time it's the Liuhe Knife, will it be Taizu Changquan next time, or some other martial arts?" ”

He couldn't guarantee it!

After Wei You's "tossing", Gongsun Du suddenly lost his sleepiness, so he decided to write the fold first, and immediately sent someone to Luoyang after dawn. One day earlier, you can get the reward one day earlier.

However, when he was about to pick up the pen, Gongsun Du remembered something and took out something from a secret compartment somewhere in the study.

"Hey, the history of this dogleg!" Gongsun Du looked at the signature on the letter in his hand, and sighed with emotion in his heart.

The letter was not a secret order from Liu Hong, nor was it a greeting from his father, Gongsun Yan, but a threat and co-optation from Zhang Rang.

Because Liu Hong had the help of Gongsun Yan, he eliminated a group of relatives led by Dou Wu and some eunuchs who were loyal to the Empress Dowager Dou not long after he ascended the throne.

However, the lessons of the past are still in front of him, and Zhang Rang began to look for a way back.

After many searches, he knew about the existence of Gongsun Yan, but Gongsun Yan was upright and upright, and he didn't look down on eunuchs, especially his wife died because of the eunuchs. But it was not without gain, Zhang Rang knew that Gongsun Du was appointed as the Taishou of Liaodong, and he originally wanted to use this to threaten Gongsun Yan, because it was not in line with the ancestral system, but before he could do it, he intercepted Chen Yang's letter.

Chen Yang is the captain who was blackmailed by Gongsun Du.

So, Zhang Rang had other thoughts, wanting to hold Gongsun Du in his hands, he felt that if he had such an external power as Gongsun Du, not to mention any accidents, Liu Hong would not dare to attack him, at least Gongsun Yan would probably intercede for him. Judging from Liu Hong's emphasis on Gongsun Yan, the probability of escaping is extremely high.

In this way, Zhang Rang threatened to win over Gongsun Du on the one hand, and prepared to pull Gongsun Yan into the water on the other.

For this letter, Gongsun Du wanted to ignore it, but now that he looks at it, maybe it is also a good choice to be false and wrong.

After pondering for a long time, Gongsun Du wrote three letters.
