After the Guyuan army had cleared the entire battlefield and picked up the heads of the Mongols, Hong Chengchou ordered the army to continue westward and go straight to Lanzhou.

During this period, Liu Renyu specially sent Liu Renyu to lead Sun Wuxian and He Yaozong and other elite generals to go to Lanzhou one step ahead of the main army to investigate the movements of the Har army, and if there is any situation, come back at any time to report.

The army marched all the way west, and the state and county forts along the way were not entered, and they only camped in the field to rest.

On the evening of the same day, after the Jingbian Fort Army had set up the camp and ambushed the Minggang and the secret outpost, Hong Chengchou said to the generals of the Jingbian Fort Army and the Guyuan Army that the great victory in this battle was a great joy, and they should sit together and celebrate it.

Liu Renyu and other generals all knew that the so-called eating tea and rice was not necessarily, and it was the original intention to ask about the results of the battle, but the intentions of the governors of the three sides did not break down, and they all agreed to come down, and it was good to go to Hong Chengchou's Chinese army tent in the evening.

It was day and night, Liu Renyu, Li Jiye, Yang Desheng, Zhang Tieniu, Wang Zuohang, Li Mingzhe and other generals all went to Hong Chengchou's military tent and had tea and dinner with Hong Chengchou.

"Generals, the enemy is current, you can't drink alcohol in the army, but our army has won the battle, and it's not beautiful after all if you don't celebrate, let's eat a rough meal today, and wait until Lin Dan Khan is driven away, let's go to Huamachi, and it's not too late to have a good meal." Hong Chengchou said to his subordinates.

"Commander, whatever you say, let's do it, we will all listen to you." Liu Renyu replied with a smile.

"Well, very well, then you generals will eat these tea and rice." After Hong Chengchou said this, he grabbed a baked cake and nibbled on it.

When the generals saw that Hong Chengchou had started, they also ate and drank.

"By the way, Renyu, what was the result of today's battle?" After taking a few bites of baked cakes, Hong Chengchou asked this question.

"Qi Yu commander, in this battle, our army has captured a total of 5,638 enemy heads, captured 1,726 horses, and rescued 1,355 Han Chinese, and there are no other trophies." Liu Renyu reported all the results of today's statistics to Hong Chengchou.

"There are so many!?" Hong Chengchou was shocked and couldn't believe it.

"Commander, it's true, you can only send these heads to the Ministry of War to test the merits, there is no problem." Liu Renyu nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, so very good, I think that Lin Dan Khan does not have many people in total, let's take more than 5,000 of him in a battle, wouldn't he be bold, let's chase after him again, he will not dare to fight with us more, and our army can drive them back to the grassland in one fell swoop." Hong Chengchou slammed the several cases in front of him and said excitedly.

"Commander, it's just that there is no problem in forcing them back, and I even want to learn from Huo Quai, and make a move to seal the wolf Juxu, Jiang Riguang is familiar with the terrain and can be a guide for us, but I heard that there is a famine under the Chahar Department, and if our army attacks, I am afraid that the Chahar Department will have no food to eat." When Liu Renyu said this, he couldn't help but say with some regret.

"It's still my family's Renyu who is powerful and has lofty ambitions!" Hong Chengchou first praised Liu Renyu with great approval, and then asked: "This time our army has won a lot, so what about the casualties of our army?" ”

When Liu Renyu heard this question, he first looked at the generals present, and then said with a smile: "Commander, our army suffered 1,186 casualties, of which 798 were killed. ”

"Yes, from this point of view, this battle is really beautiful, so counted, our army still has the upper hand." Hong Chengchou said excitedly again.

When Liu Renyu heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and he was slightly amused.

In fact, among the more than 700 people killed in this battle, more than 600 were Guyuan troops who were not very well equipped and not well trained, and the Jingbian Fort Army only lost more than 100 people.

But it doesn't make sense to say this, Liu Renyu just doesn't say it.

"Okay, so very good, it seems that our army can naturally drive the northern captives back to their hometown in one fell swoop, and finish them out, Renyu, your Jingbian Fort army is afraid that it will go on the expedition again." When Hong Chengchou said this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Oh, dare to ask the commander, what happened again?" Liu Renyu asked.

"It can still be there, that is, Shanxi, which is across the river from us, that Shanxi's Xu Dingchen participated in our Shaanxi some time ago, saying that Shanxi is now being poisoned by thieves, all because the Shaanxi magistrates appeased the local unfavorable, and even gave birth to these many thieves, and then we drove all the thieves to Shanxi, Shaanxi is fine, but they Shanxi suffered.

Xu Dingchen was quite angry, so he asked the imperial court, saying that the Shanxi thieves came from Shaanxi, and Shaanxi should send capable soldiers to enter Shanxi to help suppress the thieves. Hehe, it's funny to say, the official immediately returned to the book, saying that if the thieves are all from Shaanxi, and go to harm Shanxi, they will be driven away by us, if you are not convinced, you will drive them back to Shaanxi. Hong Chengchou said with a smile.

"Hahahaha, what Hong Zhishuai said is really good." The generals laughed.

"That's right, if they say so, they will drive the thieves back to Shaanxi, and we will kill all the thieves for them." Zhang Tieniu shouted loudly.

"En, everyone and be quiet, in fact, this statement is such a statement, but those thieves do not open their eyes, cross the Taihang Mountain, and enter the North Zhili, this time it is troublesome, the court is shaking, the emperor is angry, the emperor said that the thieves are out of Shaanxi, poisoning Shanxi, and Shaanxi should send troops to Shanxi to help suppress.

Then Xu Dingcheng got the will, so he came to us Shaanxi to ask someone to come, and he insisted that except for you Liu Renyu and your Jingbian Fort Army, the rest were not wanted. So, you, just after beating Lin Dan Khan, I'm afraid that I'm going to go out again and go to Shanxi to suppress thieves, he wants people, and the official can't refuse it, Renyu is afraid that he will work hard for you again. When Hong Chengchou said this, he couldn't help but sigh a little.

"The commander, the country is in an eventful autumn, it is the time to use our warriors, to benefit the life and death of the country, how can it be avoided because of misfortune and fortune, marked as the country, for the emperor to fight on the battlefield, and die without regrets." Liu Renyu was happy for a while, and read out all the poems of Lin Zexu in the later generations.

"Okay, a good sentence about the life and death of the country, how can it be avoided because of misfortune and fortune, good poetry, the most proud thing in my life is to get Renyu, you are a cadre, come, today I will replace the wine with tea, and I will toast you." After Hong Chengchou said this, he picked up the teacup and said.

"The commander is serious." After Liu Renyu said this, he also picked up the teacup and drank with Hong Chengchou.

"Okay, let's finish our meal quickly, and set off tomorrow to drive away Lin Dan Khan." After Hong Chengchou finished drinking tea, he beckoned all the generals to have tea and dinner together.

As a result, the generals had nothing to say for the time being, and each had tea and dinner.
