In this battle, the Zhao army suffered a lot of casualties, and of course, the Chu army suffered even greater losses.

Zhao Jun quickly counted the number of people, and it was necessary to be accurate to the casualties of each person, including the casualties of the military commander, the military candidate, the Du Bo, and the chief commander, which was Li Zuoche's request.

The wounded soldiers were sent back to the north shore by ship as a matter of priority.

The soldiers who surrendered to the Chu army were gathered and escorted to the north bank in batches and in an orderly manner.

Chu military camp, Chu military camp, all the items that can be used and can be moved away in time will be moved, this is Li Zuoche's order.

Xiang Yu is dozens of miles to the east, maybe he will march east early this morning, even if there are soldiers from the Chu army rushing to report, when Xiang Yu rushes over again, it will take at least half a day to come back and forth.

Ouyang Ling and Qian Fan all came to Li Zuoche.

Li Zuoche looked at these two right-hand men, nodded, and said with a smile on his face: "You have done a good job and made great contributions, and after defeating the Chu army, the king will definitely reward you for your meritorious deeds." ”

looked at Qian Fan again, and there was a simple smile on his face.

Blood stained Qian Fan's robe, and in the battle with him just now, more than 20 Chu soldiers died in his hands. Li Zuoche standing on the city wall, for the whole battle process is in the eyes, Qian Fan has a high military value, extremely brave, is a rare brave general, he has a simple temperament, hates flattery, when Chen Yu was in power, there was no day at all.

Li Zuoche patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well done, you are the warrior of my Zhao Kingdom." ”

Qian Fan said: "General, if there is a tough battle in the future, you must send me to fight." Whoever dares to offend my Zhao Guo will definitely beat him to the ground! ”

He just likes to fight, likes to fight head-on, charges into battle, is not good at it, and does not like any intrigues.

Li Zuoche said with a smile: "The world is undecided, and the battle has to be fought." ”

Only he knew that King Zhao was aiming to dominate the world.

Xiang Zhuang was escorted over, and after taking a look at Li Zuoche, he snorted coldly: "Li Mu's grandson has two sons. King Xiang will clean you up sooner or later, even if Li Mu is reborn, he will only be defeated by his men. ”

In his eyes, Xiang Yu is invincible in the world, whether he fights alone or in command, and only Xiang Yu can create miracles like the Battle of Julu and the Battle of Pengcheng.

Not only Xiang Zhuang, but in the eyes of many Chu soldiers, Xiang Yu is their pride.

Li Zuoche did not show hostility, and said kindly: "King Xiang is very strong, I am willing to bow down, but you have to resist with all your strength when you offend my Zhao State." Liu Bang is the enemy of Zhao, and he is also your enemy, and King Zhao does not want to meet with King Xiang. ”

His performance, the generals present were stunned, do they need to be so humble about the captives?

Li Zuoche is to implement the policy drawn up with King Zhao, actively defend, and promote peace with war, instead of fighting with Xiang Yu to the end, Liu Bang is the primary enemy, destroy Liu Bang first and then Xiang Yu.

His reaction made Xiang Zhuang proud, and he raised his head and said, "Hmph! Hurry up and let Zhao Xie admit his mistake to King Xiang, obediently bow his head and be a minister, so that King Xiang can calm his anger, maybe he can spare him. ”

actually called the king by his name, which aroused the anger of the generals present.

Qian Fan yelled at Xiang Zhuang: "Even the defeated generals dare to speak wildly!" To Li Zuodao: "General, slaughter him, right?" ”

Li Zuoche's face was calm, and he ordered Xiang Zhuang to be detained alone.

The other troops of the Chu army were detained separately, and the wounded enemy troops should be treated in time.

King Zhao wants to find an opportunity to negotiate with Xiang Yu, as long as the negotiation is successful, Xiang Zhuang and thousands of troops will be released.

The banks of the Zhangshui River were extremely busy, and the soldiers of Zhao transported all the useful things such as grain, weapons and armor of the Chu army to the north and transported them to the Jinsuoguan City for storage.

Near noon, Xu Zhong reported: "Guangwujun, in today's battle, 1,594 of our army were killed on the spot, and 317 cavalry; Another 857 were seriously wounded, and the cavalry was 305. Our army found 5,057 bodies of the Chu army, and another 4,188 surrendered. ”

Of the 2,000 cavalrymen, more than 600 people were killed and seriously wounded, of which dozens were killed and injured, and the fractures of limbs belonged to the range of minor injuries.

Li Zuoche questioned the surrendered Chu generals and asked about the situation of the Chu army. Xiang Yu's 100,000-strong army marched north, and there were 10,000 foot soldiers and 1,000 cavalry left here, although more than 1,000 people fled, and today is considered a big victory.

He immediately wrote a letter and sent a fast horse to report today's situation to King Zhao.

——————

Xiangguo, the royal palace, the study.

Zhao Xie was here to review the self-recommendation letters of the county officials, and Qian Yun was also here.

There are also more than 200 self-recommendation letters, most of which are thrown away as garbage, and there are seventeen people who have small talents, so that Qian Yun can record them and appoint them as appropriate, and only one of them is favored by Zhao Xie.

This person is the current Handan County Governor Ma Zhen, in his self-recommendation letter, he recommended himself to serve as the head of the Ministry of Industry, and he briefly expounded the work of the Ministry of Industry, including engineering construction, quality control, agriculture and handicraft management, and so on.

Zhao Xie felt that Ma Zhen's talent should be better than Zhuo Tianyan's.

Combined with Ma Zhen's previous work in Handan County, his political performance is quite good. Ma Zhen's current official rank is the fifth grade, and Zhao Xie decided to meet his requirements and was promoted to the squire of the Ministry of Works, and the official rank was promoted to the fourth rank.

As for who will take over as the county guard of Handan, after discussing with Qian Yun, it was decided to let the current Handan County Cheng take over.

"The King's ......"

Zhao Qian's crisp and beautiful voice came.

I saw Zhao Qian walking into the study with a stack of papers in her hand.

"King, the paper has finally been made!"

With a smile like a spring breeze on her pretty face, she placed the paper on the desk.

Zhao Xie picked up a piece of paper and looked at it, the yellow paper can be used, but the surface is not very smooth, and the softness is insufficient, and it is easy to crack when folded, which is caused by not controlling the quality in the corresponding process.

Zhao Qian whispered about the morning's work.

In the past two days, Zhao Qian stayed in the paper mill during the day, and also ate there at noon. Every night back to tell the husband in detail about the papermaking situation, this morning, to the process of making paper, and then to dry the paper, two hours later, the paper dried, the workers uncovered the paper, Zhao Qian immediately picked up a stack of paper and rushed over.

As soon as Qian Yun saw the paper, his eyes lit up, and he picked up a piece of paper like Zhao Xie did, looking at this new thing with great interest, and the more he looked at it, the more excited he became.

For the papermaking in the paper mill, the soldiers, civilians, and officials of Xiangguo already knew about it, and they were waiting to make the real thing.

Zhao Qian said excitedly: "King, Haotian God's method is really spiritual. ”

In her and others' minds, it's good that paper can be invented.

In Zhao Xie's view, this paper is inferior if it is placed in modern times. However, it is already very good that the first test can be done like this, and even if it can be improved, it is impossible to compare it with modern times, and the gap between science and technology is there.

At lunch, Zhao Xie talked about the areas that could be improved, and asked Zhao Qian to pay attention to them and try to correct them. After the initial invention of an object, it needs to be continuously tested to improve.
