In this battle, 5,000 cavalry troops under the command of Huerdu were annihilated, and none of them escaped the net, except for the 76 Humeng soldiers including Huerdu, the rest were buried on the spot.

Regardless of the captured armor and weapons, after all, these are not directly used, they need to be sent to the ordnance workshop in the city, melted and rebuilt into the style of the Yan army's armaments, and what Yan Wuji likes the most is the Humeng war horse captured in this battle.

After all, the war horses of the Yan Kingdom and the Humeng war horses, whether they are strong or weak or high or low, are not of the same grade, it can be said that if the Yan army is equipped with Humeng war horses, although there is still a gap between them and the Humeng people in terms of horsemanship, they already have the strength to carry it opposite the Humeng cavalry.

For thousands of horses, or even tens of thousands of horses rushing into battle with each other, the role of individual riding is almost negligible, and it is more about the impact force carried by both sides, and the decisive factor of this impact force is the speed of the war horse and the weight of the war horse and the person.

After this battle, a total of 3,625 war horses were captured, of which 628 were injured and could not continue to fight, the reason why Yan Wuji still chose to bring them all was to keep the seeds, he believed that as long as they were properly cared for, these hundreds of disabled horses could also breed high-quality and healthy Humeng war horses, and even he even thought about the names of these war horses, it must not be called Humeng war horses, and it is most suitable to be called Dingzhou horses.

"Marshal, it's not me Zhang Erhu bragging, these 3,000 Humeng war horses are equipped with our cavalry battalion, and the combat effectiveness of our cavalry can definitely rise to a higher level." As he spoke, Zhang Erhu touched the mane of the mount under him, looking reluctant, and added: "I've been hungry for these guys for a long time. ”

Yan Wuji and Liu Zhilan looked at each other and smiled, in the newly reorganized trapping army, Liu Zhilan was in charge of the archers, Guo Tianxu was in charge of the sword and shield soldiers, as for the pikemen, because of the fall of Liangcheng and the reason for the queen of the large army, they had been systematically eliminated by the Humeng people, so the current trap army only temporarily formed a spear battalion, but the number was only less than two thousand, and it was temporarily handed over to Jia Chong, as for the cavalry, because Zhang Erhu was originally the commander of the cavalry battalion of the original blade army, he was naturally given to him deservedly, so this battle came down, This guy is the happiest.

"What we have gained in this battle, it is estimated that it is enough to equip a 5,000-strong spear battalion, but what is lacking now is the source of soldiers, and as for the captured war horses, of course, we must satisfy ourselves first." Yan Wuji said softly, what he wants most now is to improve the formation of the trapped army, and judging from the current situation, the establishment of 20,000 people is completely unable to cope with the current situation, so Yan Wuji still wants to expand this scale a little more.

However, the expansion of the army is not a trivial matter, generally speaking, it must be reported to the higher authorities for approval, and only with the consent of the higher authorities can it enter the implementation stage, such as the expansion of the establishment below the battalion level, as long as it does not exceed 100 people, it can be directly decided by the battalion commander, if it exceeds 100 people, it needs to be reported by the battalion commander of the headquarters to the senior officer at the level of the army commander to know, and the approval can be implemented, but the number of people cannot exceed 1,000 people.

More than 1,000 but less than 5,000 people, it needs to be reported to the higher level of the military marshal, generally such as Yan Hu and Gu Liangchen, if it exceeds 5,000, it needs to be reported to the military department of the imperial court, and then the military department will be transferred to the imperial court for approval, after all, it also involves the amount of food and salary allocated by the imperial court each time.

Yan Wuji had no doubt that he would be allowed to report on the expansion of the personnel, but it was quite time-consuming to go back and forth, so he decided to cut the staff first, expand the personnel first, and then go through this procedure while training the recruits, and wait for this procedure

After the walk, the training of the recruits has also reached a certain level, and there is no delay in both.

"But the problem of food and salary...... "The expansion of personnel is not the most rare, Yan Wuji already has a general direction, that is, the exiled people concentrated in the city, he believes that as long as the conscription notice is posted, there will definitely be no shortage of people who come to apply at the door of the conscription station, but it is easy to recruit people, what to do with the money and food to support these people, before he completes the expansion process, the imperial court will never give him an extra copper plate, a grain of grain."

After thinking about it, Yan Wuji felt that he could only find Jinhong to think of a way, after all, he was in charge of the Dingshui Treasury, and it was said that the war supplies transported from Shuzhou had arrived on the south bank, and they would cross the river and arrive at Dingshui in a few days.

Thinking about it, the city gate of Dingshui was already close in front of him, and the city guard saw that Yan Wuji and the others were returning, and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened to welcome this triumphant return of heroes.

……

Hearing that Yan Wuji had returned victoriously, Jin Hong and Yan Changfeng didn't care about the dinner that had not yet been eaten, so they hurriedly led two bantam horses from the stable, and then rode the horses and trotted to meet them, because Yan Wuji and the others were relatively secret in their actions this time, so when they first went out of the city, they did not have that kind of very high-profile oath to go to the conference, and there were not many people in the city who knew about it.

It is now that he has returned victoriously, there is no such a grand occasion as a melancho welcome, but some well-informed people in the city have gathered on both sides of the street into the city at this time, and some people who do not know why have seen such a lively scene, and they also gathered together, and it was quite a grand occasion for a while.

Even the defeated Yan Kingdom really needs such a hero at this time to bring a ray of hope to the people who are still holding on to Dingzhou, and now, Yan Wuji and others have invisibly become such characters.

Dealing with the sophistication of human feelings, so that the young marshal who had just returned from the victory on the battlefield felt tired, Yan Wuji only felt that attending such a banquet was more tiring than a battle, but in Dingzhou, these things had to be done, after all, in many aspects in the future, he may still have to rely on these fathers and fellow villagers, such as the imminent food and salary problem caused by the expansion of personnel, if Jinhong has no way, then Yan Wuji's next plan is to want to be on these local rich squires, Pick up some wool down.

"Congratulations, Brother Mowgli." Jin Hong took Yan Changfeng's hand and walked side by side with Yan Wuji.

Yan Wuji looked at Jin Hong, then at Yan Changfeng, and said with a smile: "What is there to congratulate, but it's you, I should congratulate you." ”

Jin Hong and Yan Changfeng looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't feel much shy, but they were very calm with each other.

"Thank you, Brother Wuji, but Changfeng and I still have some way to go, not as fast as you think." Jin Hong replied, with a hint of bitterness in his words.

"Why?" Yan Wuji was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that the current situation of the two has already reached the level of talking about marriage, in his opinion, the marriage between the two is only a matter of time, maybe when Jinhong is transferred back to Yanjing, it will be the day he gets married, and it won't be too long for him to think about it, but why Jinhong said that the road is still very long, he doesn't understand it very well.

Jin Hong just shook his head, it seemed a little unspeakable, but Yan Changfeng on the side took over the conversation and said, "Because ......"

As soon as Yan Changfeng opened her mouth to say two words, she was interrupted by Jin Hong, but obviously she didn't intend to swallow back the words that came to her mouth, but looked at Jin Hong firmly, and told the other party with her eyes that this was not her impulse.

After a moment, Jin Hong seemed to have compromised and looked away from Yan Chang

Feng's eyes moved away, and the latter continued to speak: "Because the imperial brother will not agree to our marriage. ”

"What?" Yan Wuji stared at Yan Changfeng in surprise, and then looked at Jin Hong, in fact, it was not strange that he would have such a big reaction, because anyone who got the news would have this kind of surprised and inexplicable reaction, but Yan Wuji's demeanor was not only surprised, but also a little angry, and of course this anger was directed at Yan Shuyi.

Yan Changfeng sighed, and then told Jin Hong in detail about going to Yan Shu to propose marriage, and after Yan Wuji listened, he looked at these two people with complicated eyes, obviously he also smelled a different smell from this.

"It seems that between Brother Shu and An Pingjun, they still can't get rid of the fate between kings and ministers since ancient times." Yan Wuji sighed in his heart, the contradiction between the two of them, but Jin Hong and Yan Changfeng, who were sandwiched in the middle, were even more embarrassed, from a rational point of view, Yan Wuji hoped that Jin Hong could stand on Yan Shu's side and return all the rights belonging to the emperor in his father's hands to Yan Shu, but emotionally he felt that this would make Jin Hong very difficult, after all, that would be equivalent to killing his father.

The silent silence began to spread between the three of them, and this time it was Yan Wuji who opened his mouth first, "By the way, Xiao Hongzi, I haven't had time to thank you for the last time about the salary, if you hadn't recovered all the stolen food and salary in time, I don't know how to appease the soldiers, let alone talk about this victory." ”

Yan Wuji changed the topic, and Jin Hong also walked out of the previous silence, "So, your victory this time, and my share of credit?" ”

"That's natural, and there's a long wind." Yan Wuji looked at Yan Changfeng next to him with a smile on his face.

Yan Changfeng pointed at himself in surprise, "What else can I do?" ”

"The godhusband is well-organized!" Yan Wuji said jokingly.

"Brother Mowgli hates it, and he makes fun of me." Although Yan Changfeng complained on his lips, the expression on his face showed that this sentence was very useful in her heart, and she unconsciously glanced at Jinhong, and happened to see that Jinhong was also looking at her, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which was very sweet.

"But this time, Brother Wei may have to ask you to do me another favor." Ignoring the behavior of these two people to sprinkle dog food anytime and anywhere, Yan Wuji pinched his nose and tilted his head to the side, complaining that the two of them didn't care about the feelings of a single old man at all.

The two of them, who had finished looking at each other happily, once again set their eyes on Yan Wuji, with a question in their eyes, Yan Wuji said angrily that he was preparing to expand the army and needed more food supplies, and then looked at Jin Hong with a look of hope.

After hearing this, Jin Hong nodded without hesitation, "This kind of matter, Brother Wuji rest assured, originally I came to Dingshui as Ling Yin, just to ensure the supply of your army soldiers, and now there is still some surplus in the library of Ling Yin's mansion, which is enough to last for a while, plus the baggage materials from Shuzhou are about to arrive, I don't think it's a big problem, as long as the time comes, Brother Wuji and I will clearly play these things to Yuguan and the imperial court." ”

When Yan Wuji heard this, he laughed happily, patted Jinhong's shoulder and said: "As the saying goes, brothers fight in war, I think as long as the two of us brothers work together, those Humeng people will have to go back to their hometown sooner or later." ”

Jin Hong and Yan Changfeng also laughed together, and before they knew it, they arrived at the separate place, looking at Yan Wuji's distant figure, Yan Changfeng looked at Jin Hong worriedly, and said worriedly: "Didn't you say that there is something in the river that is hindering the crossing of Shuzhou's supplies?" ”

Jin Hong patted the slender hand he was holding in his hand, smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, I'll think of a way." ”
