Early in the morning, Liu Zhengfeng convened the generals in the palace to discuss the distribution of seizures after the war, and second, to discuss what to do next?

Yu Zhilong's department made the greatest contribution, and captured the most gongs, drums, horses, weapons and prisoners on the battlefield. It's just that the final seizure was reported to Liu Zhengfeng, and all the departments privately intercepted many prisoners, weapons and war horses in advance, and the Jing'an army was the same. Liu Zhengfeng only didn't know.

The Japanese army was defeated, and only 4,000 troops of nearly 10,000 troops fled back, and more than 3,000 soldiers and porters were captured. After everyone argued, Liu Zhengfeng first selected 400 elites from them, and then allocated 1,000 people to Yu Zhilong to supplement, and the rest were divided equally. Liu Qi, Qin Zhanshan and others were very unhappy at the beginning, and in terms of losses, Wan Jinhai and Liu Qibu were the largest, but Liu Zhengfeng gave them more weapons, camp tents, etc., which was regarded as blocking the mouths of the two.

The stone artillery and the captured artillery personnel were all owned by Liu Zhengfeng's department, and with this as the backbone, the Shuntian Army also prepared its own artillery team.

In the past few days, the Shuntian army has been encouraging and persuading the captives to persuade them, and the captured soldiers see that this side can divide the land, there is a settlement allowance, and the boss hardly drinks the blood of the soldiers when they are paid, and they are more willing to join them. Only a few persisted.

As for the officers at all levels who were captured at the beginning, most of them did not surrender, and Liu Zhengfeng was too lazy to talk to them, so he simply ordered Qu Bo to shackle all these soldiers who did not surrender and go to the city every morning and evening to do labor.

The distribution of prisoners was not fierce, but when it came to the war horses, the generals were fighting for each other.

"Something else can be less, and a war horse must not be missing! This time, I saw it clearly, there is no cavalry, it's just a fucking soft persimmon, you can pinch it however you want! Wan Jinhai said loudly. Wanbu was killed by Tang Wuwei's cavalry, and Wan Jinhai was engraved in his heart.

Qin Zhanshan, Xia Houen, Liu Qi, Yu Shichang and others shouted together, they all wanted to divide more war horses, this time a total of nearly 1,000 horses were seized, including at least 600 war horses, and the eyes of several people were wide, and they couldn't wait to take it all by themselves!

Tang Wuwei's cavalry and charging array impressed everyone too deeply, and there was a lesson from Yan Chi's mountain road raid in front, and the big leader Yu Hai died under Yan Chi's raid.

Everyone quarreled several times, slapped the table, smashed the tea bowl, and even later Wan Jinhai rolled up his sleeves to fight with Liu Qi, just to divide dozens of more war horses, and everyone fought into a mess.

In the end, Yu Zhilong received 220 horses, Wan Jinhai and Qin Zhanshan each received 200 horses, and Liu Qi, Xia Houen and Liu Zhengfeng each received 160 horses.

When it comes to the next step, crossing the river to the east has been proved to be a trap for the Yuan army, and Liu Zhengfeng and Yu Zhilong and others all feel that it is appropriate to go south, but the opinions of the generals are not unanimous.

Qin Zhanshan said: "In this war, not to mention the loss of more than half of the Liu Qi brothers and the Jinhai brothers, even Liu Tianwang, General Xiahou and other troops also suffered huge losses, and the losses of the subordinates who are smaller than the general are not small, I think it is impossible to attack in the short term, plus the replenishment of troops and drills, it is estimated that it will take at least twenty days." The spies said that there were a lot of Han troops in the south, and besides, the road to the south was dangerous and long, so it would definitely not be good to go rashly! It's better to go north and hit Yidu, even if you can't take it, you might as well go around, you can hit Bin, Di, Zi and other places. Or turn to the east and go to fight Wei and Lai. ”

"Brother Zhanshan said yes! Although I won this time, most of my sons and daughters were defeated, especially those old brothers, who did not have much left, and how much combat strength they had in order to cause the disaster. King Shun Tian, I can only recover after a month of rest! "Wan Jinhai is more pessimistic and gives a longer time.

Liu Qi squinted at Yu Zhilong, touched his round chin, and said slowly: "If you want to talk about losses, our department can be said to be the heaviest." The key this time is that the old brothers folded too much, and most of the general flags and brands below had to be replaced by newcomers, even after the recruits were replenished, the familiarization and training of the upper and lower levels was not a matter of a few days, and after the disastrous victory, the morale was also affected, and it was not very high. In this battle, the headquarters of King Shuntian and General Fei were the pillars of our army's victory, and the morale must be the highest. ”

Qin Zhanshan chimed in.

Xia Houen kept his face calm and did not make a sound. As the general reserve, his unit was finally thrown into the right flank to rescue Wan Jinhai's department, but it was beaten by Tang Wuwei and could not find the north.

The spearmen and artillery battles organized by their various departments did not play much role, which was diametrically opposed to the amazing results achieved by Yu Zhilong, mainly because Yu Zhilong's troops had many pre-drills, and the training and courage of the soldiers were far stronger than those of Wan, Qin, Xiahou and other departments, and they dared to suddenly throw out explosives when the Yuan cavalry was approaching, thus achieving miraculous results.

Moreover, in the face of the high-speed rushing Yuan cavalry, the Jing'an army kept its infantry formation compact and not chaotic, even if some people were frightened, they did not panic and flee under the encouragement and command of officers at all levels.

Because of the heavy losses of the various departments, no one now wants to go far south to hit hard nails. The scouts had already reported that there was a large camp of the Han army in the south to defend the mountain pass, the terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the mountain road was tortuous and rugged, if it was attacked hard, it was difficult to expand the front.

Seeing that these people were bold, Yu Shichang couldn't help but stand up, and said angrily: "My subordinates are willing to obey the dispatch of King Shuntian, or fight or keep their vows as pioneers!" ”

Liu Zhengfeng saw that Yu Shichang was competitive, and he was happy in his heart. "Shichang Junxin is available, very good, and wait for a while, and then decide when there is a result." After Liu Zhengfeng finished speaking, he looked at Yu Zhilong, he still wanted to hear Yu Zhilong's opinion first.

Yu Zhilong knew in his heart that he had finally put out about 4,000 men and horses in this dispatch, and his strength had been taboo, and his great credit this time would inevitably embarrass the generals. It's just that the battlefield situation was tense at that time, and I couldn't help myself.

Now Yu Zhilong's attitude has a pivotal position in the Shuntian Army, which is also due to his strength. No matter how much Liu Zhengfeng doesn't like it at the moment, he still has to think about it fully.

Yu Zhilong said slowly: "In this battle, all parts of our army did suffer a lot of losses, but the defeat of Yidu was not something they could have predicted in advance, and I think it will be difficult for Yidu to mobilize a large army to attack in the short term." However, if our army rests for too long and gives the enemy a chance to breathe, it will not be conducive to our army's future actions! ”

"At present, in addition to the various departments seizing the time to rest and practice, they should also strengthen the exploration around to understand the movements of the Yuan army." Yu Zhilong added.

"Whoever makes the first move now has the upper hand. I have already stated the disadvantages of going north, and at present there are traps in the east, mountains in the west, and fortified cities in the north. No matter how difficult it is to go south, but the risk is the least, once the siege is broken, when there is a dragon into the abyss, I hope you will think more! ”

Qu Bo and Yu Shichang glanced at each other, they were not good at speaking on this occasion, and after thinking about it, what Yu Zhilong said was especially reasonable, but everyone had been fighting in the mountains for several days, and this mountain road was difficult and dangerous to travel south. Once the pursuers come up, disaster will come. Liu Qi, Qin Zhanshan and others were reluctant to go south, which also had this consideration. Moreover, the mountains in the south are poor and close to Haizhou and other places, where the Yuan army is now powerful, and the roads are accessible, and it is very easy to go north. Although there is a fortified city in the north, the temptation is great, and if it can be highlighted, the prospects are promising.

Sure enough, Liu Qi and the others still insisted on going north, Wan Jinhai was hesitating, Xia Houen smacked his lips and felt that he had to try the possibility of going north, and then consider going south.

Liu Zhengfeng saw that he still couldn't unify his views in the end, although he was the king of Shuntian, after all, his foundation was not solid, and his prestige was lower than that of Yu Hai, so it was not easy to make a conclusion, and finally nodded: "My family's small baggage is no longer comparable to yesterday, how to go north and south." In the past few days, all brothers have been training their soldiers and horses, so don't be careless! Wait for the detailed military situation to make a decision! ”

"In the past few days, thousands of hungry people have come to the north, almost all of them are old and weak, according to the spies, the Tartars are collecting the displaced people around Yidu City, driving the old and weak to Linqu, we have already taken out a lot of military food relief, but if it goes on like this, it is not a matter to carry this big burden!" Xiahouen interjected.

As the number of hungry people grew, the number of shelters outside the city had to be expanded, and this burden became more and more apparent, and the generals had to allocate more food and rice to deal with it.

"This is a plan to dry up the river and fish, burn the forest and hunt!" Everyone in the audience frowned and shouted.

Yu Zhilong was stunned, he didn't expect these people to be able to say such words.

Liu Zhengfeng instructed the scouts in the army to Qianhu: "In the past few days, we will do more exploration of the north and south, and take a farther step to see what other tricks the Tartars have?" Last time, I was fortunate that General Fei found out that there was an ambush on the other side, otherwise if one of them was not bad, the army would cross the river rashly, and it would fall into the Tartars' tricks! ”

These thousand households answered the command.

After the war, the corpses of the enemy and the enemy began to be buried, and the corpses of the Yuan army were inspected one by one by officials from the capital to identify them. If it is an officer above the general flag, the body will be transported back to Yidu for burial, and the soldiers of the Han army and the righteous army will be cremated on the spot in batches, and then the ashes will be brought back to Yidu for burial.

The fallen soldiers of Tang Wuwei were all transported to Yidu by car, and after the inquest of the good students, they made a register and sent them to the Privy Council.

In this defeat, Yiwang Mainu was full of anger and had no way to vent it, and he was really unwilling to send someone to retrieve the corpses of these Yuan soldiers and others, and even wanted to behead the messenger from Linqu to show the public, in order to show that he was incompatible with the anti-thieves. However, after Gu Kai, Tian Hui, Meng Qing and others learned about it, they all suggested that they should not accept the corpses of the department, which was afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies; Killing the enemy's envoy is also out of courtesy, and it is rumored to make people laugh.

If it is accepted, it can be used to show King Yi's mind and benevolence, not to mention that after the defeat of this battle, the army's heart fluctuates, and the generals are also worried that the court will blame and reduce the punishment, which is the time when the court needs to work hard to pacify. After several persuasions from everyone, Mai Nu finally allowed to send someone to Linqu City to collect the corpse.

Finally ended this discussion, Yu Zhilong came out, Sun Xing had been waiting outside for a long time, and led the war horse for him, Yu Zhilong turned over and said: "Go to the wounded soldiers!" ”

By this time, the sun had almost risen in the sky, and the city was full of smoke, and it was the families who were preparing to eat.

As the day rises, many people in the city have already begun their busy day.

In a former Han army garrison in the city, each house was crowded with the wounded of the Jing'an army. The bed was insufficient, all the decorative utensils, tables and tables in the room were emptied, and several large bunks were set up in the house, so that the space of these large rooms was finally fully utilized.

Every day, Lang Zhong cleaned the wounds and changed the dressings for the wounded soldiers, and some women next to them gave them hands.

"Sister Lan, there is not much gauze to prepare, most of the ones that were replaced yesterday have not dried thoroughly after washing, if you use a lot of them like this today, I'm afraid it won't be enough!" A young woman came to Yu Lan and asked.

Yu Lan was holding a bowl, holding a spoon in his hand and feeding a wounded pawn who had been hit by an arrow in the abdomen, the soldier had injured his organs and could not move, after Lang Zhong dealt with him, he could only lie there, Yu Lan put some pillows behind him, so that he could lift his upper body slightly in order to eat.

Hearing what the woman said, Yu Lan put down the rice bowl she had just fed, wiped the corners of the wounded man's mouth with the cloth towel she had brought with her, and gently advised him to recuperate. After thinking about it, he said, "My mother still has some silver taels there, so I'll take some more and buy a few more horses in the shop." Also, was all the wrapping yesterday boiled in water after washing? ”

"Don't worry, Sister Lan. We all boiled a few sticks of incense in boiling water. The woman who asked the question replied, "Those used dishes, chopsticks, and cloth towels are also cooked every day." ”

Yu Zhilong told them a few days ago that the gauze should be boiled in boiling water, saying that it is for disinfection, the wound should be wiped clean with liquor when treating, and the knives used in Lang should also be wiped with liquor several times before use, etc. At the same time, it is required that all caregivers should be kept clean and cleaned frequently indoors to avoid the breeding of mosquitoes, flies, maggots, etc.

Because there were too many wounded and wounded, whether it was Jin Chuangyao or gauze, they were very nervous, and Lang Zhong and the caretakers were also insufficient, so many old and weak people in the army also came to help, even Yu Lan's mother Xin Shi also came to help wash the clothes.
