…

By the time Cai still personally led the Jinwu Central Army and a part of his own Central Army to the city of Xiuzhou, the battle had already ended, and the infantry of the Jinwu Right Army was cleaning up the battlefield with the cooperation of the Xiuzhou soldiers and the people organized by Chen Yu.

As soon as Cai still arrived, Wang De, Yang Yi and others immediately came to report the battle to Cai Ying.

After Cai still heard the end from the beginning, he secretly shouted, "Luck! ”

If the opponent is the Jin army, then Yang Zaixing's action of leading 900 guards to rush into the enemy formation arranged by more than 50,000 enemy troops is tantamount to suicide.

Even if it was just an inaccessible peasant army like Fang La's Yi Army, if it weren't for Yang Yizhong's timely support, then Yang Zaixing and the 900 pro-guard army he led would inevitably be eaten by Fang La's Yi Army this time.

Forget it, the key is that in this way, it is entirely possible for Fang Qifo to defeat Xiuzhou City in one go.

If that is the case, then the overall situation may develop in favor of the Fang La Yi army.

At this moment, Chen Yu came out with a group of officials in Xiuzhou City.

As soon as they met, Chen Yu hugged his fists and said, "Congratulations to General Cai, congratulations to General Cai, as soon as you come to our Xiuzhou, you will fight a big victory that can affect the outcome of the overall battle." ”

Cai still hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Let Lord Chen and all the adults laugh, the battle is like this, it is really Cai still has no way to teach." Cai still said, "I almost ruined the situation that you adults managed to stabilize with great difficulty, all of them are Cai Ying's fault, and I hope that your adults Haihan." ”

Seeing that Cai was still not fluttering because he had won such a big battle, he realized the dangers that might arise in this process as soon as he came, and fully affirmed their previous achievements.

This undoubtedly made Chen Yu and others still have a lot of good feelings towards Cai.

Chen Yu is not a person without responsibility, he said, "The reason why General Yang rushed to kill the enemy formation, I have a responsibility that I can't shirk, if I hadn't provoked him with words, he would not have been able to rush and kill the enemy's 50,000 troops with a thousand men and horses." ”

Cai still shook his head and said, "The matter of agitating generals has often existed since ancient times, and it is something that the people who lead the troops have to face. ”

Seeing that Cai still seemed to want to completely deny Yang Zaixing's merits, Chen Yu said, "I can't say that, the so-called art masters are bold, and General Yang Zaixing's martial arts are comparable to Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao, so for General Yang Zaixing, it can't be completely in accordance with the requirements of ordinary generals." ”

Cai still said, "Thank you Lord Chen for thinking so, in fact, Yang Zaixing's fault is not in this matter, it is because I didn't think about it enough, because I heard that Fang Qifo led 70,000 bandits to attack Xiuzhou City for three days, so I hurriedly ordered Yang Zaixing to reinforce Xiuzhou City as quickly as possible, and did not tell Yang Zaixing that he was not allowed to fight, he came to Xiuzhou City, and decided to fight depending on the battlefield situation and the strength of the enemy and me, and there was no problem of disobeying orders, and, no matter how dangerous the process was, he won this battle after all, and there was no merit, if it was really said, That's my fault, not his. ”

After listening to what Cai still said, all the generals behind Cai still respected Cai Ying's fairness and daring.

Chen Yu said in his heart, "Give all the credit to his generals and take all the responsibility on himself, no wonder these arrogant soldiers are happy to surrender to him and use it for him." ”

Cai still looked left and right, didn't see Yang Zaixing, and asked, "Where did Yang Zaixing go?" ”

Yang Yizhong replied: "Commander Yang has gone after the Seven Buddhas. ”

Cai was still stunned and said, "Fang Qifo was bitten by Yang Zaixing?" ”

Yang Yizhong said: "Biting." ”

Cai still asked again: "How many people did Fang Qifo take to escape?" ”

Yang Yizhong said, "Hundreds, it was too chaotic at the time, and the last general only cared about leaving the rebel horse army to prevent future troubles, and didn't pay much attention to the battle on their side led by Yang Commander, huh...... At that time, Commander Yang should also have dozens of people around him. ”

Cai still thought to himself: "Then it is really possible to catch the big fish of Fang Qifo." ”

But—

Whether or not the Seven Buddhas can be caught may not be known.

Therefore, Cai still put this matter aside for the time being, and said, "How many men and horses did our side lose in this battle?" ”

Yang Yizhong said, "The specific number has not yet been determined, however, the two battalions of soldiers of the pro-guard army led by Commander Yang have been killed or wounded by more than seventy percent, and as for the lost war horses, they can be completely offset by the captured war horses." ”

When Cai still heard this, his heart hurt!

It is inevitable that there will be casualties in war.

To be fair, to achieve such a great victory, with only 1,800 casualties on our side, the results are simply not very good.

But the premise is that these 1,800 people are not Cai Ying's personal guards.

Cai Zhen's personal guards, that are all selected from all the Jinwu army, whether they are in quality or loyalty, they are the best in the Jinwu army, there is no one.

The point is that Ma Jun is too difficult to cultivate.

To be honest, if Cai still had gone to suppress Song Jiang and recruited a lot of Yan Zhao warriors, he would not have been able to gather these two thousand five hundred personal guards.

Now, in just one battle, a third of it has been defeated.

Just ask, how can Cai still not feel distressed?

Yang Yizhong saw that Cai was still distressed, and he hurriedly said, "The last general here is only about 10% dead and wounded, and the number of casualties in the right army is even less, in addition, the last general has seen it, there are more than 100 dead and wounded soldiers of the pro-guard army, and they can return to the team after a period of treatment." ”

Cai still heard this, and said to his own guard, Yue Yue, "You quickly go to pick up Mr. Wang and the medical camp, explain the situation here to them, and ask them to come and treat the wounded quickly." ”

After explaining Yue Yue, Cai still said to Chen Yu again, "Lord Chen, please find me a spacious and well-ventilated place in the city, I want to treat the wounded soldiers." ”

Chen Yu said, "This matter is easy, there is an ancient temple in the city, which is spacious and the environment is good, it is rare that the monks inside are running out, which is very suitable for treating wounded soldiers, so I will send someone to inform the monks who stayed there and let them clean up the place." ”

After saying this, the resolute Chen Yu sent someone back to inform the left-behind monks of the ancient temple.

Cai still said, "Thank you, Lord Chen." ”

Chen Yu said, "It should be like this, why say thank you?" ”

However, then Chen Yu's tone changed, and he said, "I also have a matter here, I hope General Cai can agree." ”

Cai still said, "Lord Chen, please speak." ”

Chen Yu said, "Except for the wounded soldiers, I hope that the rest of your troops will not enter the city, if you have any needs, we can coordinate from them and try to satisfy you." ”

It's no wonder that Chen Yu is reluctant to let the soldiers of the Jinwu army enter the city, but now the army of the Northern Song Dynasty is almost like bandits, and wherever they pass, burning, killing and looting, there is almost nothing they don't do.

Among them, the Western Army is the most - they can fight and can fight, but military discipline is also notoriously poor.

Historically, the Western Army went south to suppress Fangla's gang, and they did not do much evil in the southeast.

So much so that when the people in the southeast mentioned Zhao Song, they all gritted their teeth.

Later, the Southern Song Dynasty was established, and the people in the southeast also rebelled one after another.

If it weren't for the fact that Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other generals could fight, and suppressed the people in the southeast over and over again, and later promulgated a lot of benevolent policies after Song Xiaozong ascended the throne, the people in the southeast would definitely overthrow the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Chen Yu was very afraid that the soldiers of the Jinwu Army were also such bandits, and the people of Xiuzhou City would suffer.

I didn't want to, Cai still agreed to come down in one mouthful, "This is natural, the army entering the city will inevitably scare the people who have become frightened birds, so it is better for my Jinwu army to be stationed outside the city, um...... Lord Chen is familiar with the land, help me find a suitable place for Jin Wujun to set up camp, as for what you need, we will buy it at a flat price in cash, and you Xiuzhou Mansion can also buy it on your behalf. ”

Seeing that Cai was still so reasonable, Chen Yu said sincerely, "Thank you, General Cai, for your understanding." ”

Cai still said, "It should be so, Lord Chen doesn't have to thank me." ”

Cai still talked to Chen Yu and them again, and Wang De came over to report: "General, in this battle, we have killed more than 6,800 rebels, wounded more than 17,300 rebels, captured more than 20,000 rebels, captured more than 1,600 good horses, more than 1,300 wounded horses and dead horses, and the armor and property are still being counted. ”

Cai still nodded, "Go and hand over to Lord Zhang Wei." ”

Wang De responded: "No." Then he honestly went to hand over and seize the people of the Jinwu Army led by Zhang Wei.

Chen Yu stood aside and watched for a while, and found that the soldiers of the Jinwu Army had very clean hands and feet, even if they only captured a copper plate, they were honestly handed over to the officers, and after the officers collected the captures, they were honestly handed over to the officials of Gong Cao Deng.

In addition, Chen Yu found that the officials of Jinwu Military Gong Cao were also very careful and serious.

Moreover, Chen Yu listened carefully and was stunned to find that the military exploits of the Jinwu Army were rarely directly given to individuals, and most of them were given to collectives, such as directly to a unit, directly to a shi, directly to a charge, directly to a capital, and even directly to a commander and an army.

Jin Wujun's method of remembering merit made Chen Yu feel both novel and secretly frowned, "This is obviously different from the method of remembering merit promulgated by the imperial court." ”

Chen Yu asked Cai still quietly, "General Cai, I don't know how to write the good news of this battle?" ”

Cai still said: "It's good to write truthfully." ”

Chen Yu said, "If you write truthfully, how should you distribute your merits if you remember them like this?" ”

Cai still heard this, and said with a haha, "There are meritorious rewards, and there are punishments." ”

Chen Yu wanted to ask again, but he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Cai still turned his head and said to Yang Yizhong, "Send another group of people to welcome Yang Zaixing." ”

Chen Yu knew that when he reached Cai Yi's current identity, it was impossible to be targeted, and he didn't want to talk about how he distributed his merits.

Chen Yu thought to himself, "It seems that he is ready to intercept all the military exploits awarded by the imperial court, distribute them himself, and firmly grasp the power to promote and reward his subordinates." ”

Chen Yu looked at Cai Ying's young face, and said in his heart, "Although this person is not very old, he is well versed in the way of "long bridle and remote royalty, wonderful and subtle teaching"! ”

The pro-guard army sent out by Yang Yizhong was just about to go to welcome Yang Zaixing, when someone suddenly shouted in the distance, "Commander Yang is back!" ”

A moment later, someone shouted, "Look! Look! Commander Yang seems to have captured Fang Qifo alive! ”

When they heard this, they all immediately looked into the distance......
