Chapter 59: Trimming

Looking at Zhou Huaji, who was sitting in a basket and slowly crossing the city wall, Yuan Chao and Sun Zushou also found a clean place to sit down.

"Yuan Dynasty, I watched Gonggong Zhou enjoy the treatment of Dushi Yuan, and he also took a basket to the city wall, you said that when you arrived at the palace, would the emperor also deal with Gonggong Zhou directly." Sun Zushou knew that Jun's heart was unpredictable, so he planned to talk to Yuan Chao about what would happen next.

Of course, Yuan Chao also heard that what his eldest brother Sun said was asking what would happen to Gonggong Zhou, but in fact, he was asking how he would be dealt with by the emperor.

His eldest brother Sun is indeed a loyal and good general, just heard that the main general was in danger on the battlefield, he was about to die for the main general, and when he heard that the emperor was in danger, he fought his way out of the encirclement, which can also be seen from his experience of selling his property and raising troops to serve the king.

But what Brother Sun is worried about is that if the emperor indiscriminately charges him with a capital crime and kills him, then he himself will really be unjustly killed and lost.

"No, Brother Sun, I know your concerns, this time we first fought with the Jin army in the front, the defeat and breakthrough in the back, and the whole battle also killed hundreds of Jin soldiers before and after, and half of the men and horses in our own battalion were saved, these four general army battalions have not been completely defeated, and the emperor may reuse Brother Sun this time." Yuan Chao said what he was thinking.

"I don't want to reuse or reuse, I know that loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are what people and ministers do." Sun Zushou looked at the high Yongding Gate and said.

Sun Zushou said these words, which made Yuan Chao sound that there was nothing false and empty, but he felt that every word came from Sun Zushou's heart.

"I just don't want to be given a bad sin and a bad name." Sun Zushou is also a gentleman and frank, and when he thought of any worries, he said it directly to Yuan Chao.

"No, Brother Sun, it's useless to think about this now, it's better to take advantage of the precious time now to rectify well, in case the Jin army comes to attack again." Yuan Chao got up and patted the dust on the armor on his body.

"Yuan Chao, you're right, the emperor is sage, he has his own decision, we don't have to speculate, let's do things well." Sun Zushou also got up and stood up, and went with Yuan Chao to rectify the remaining generals under him.

Yuan Chao came to the middle of his team, surveying the wounds of the wounded soldiers one by one, and gently patting the tired soldiers.

Until he saw Qu Ling's empty eyes, and the familiar Qu Fei lying on the ground next to Qu Ling, Yuan Chao didn't know how to comfort Qu Ling, who had lost his former look, so he could only step forward and pat Qu Ling's shoulder, and he was no longer in the mood to continue looking.

"Wei Hang, is the statistical situation out?" Yuan Chao, who was in no mood, had no choice but to pull Zhou Weihang aside to ask about the detailed situation.

"Owner, the situation has been counted, and there are only more than one hundred and fifty of the two hundred brothers in the Chen military camp left."

"The scout battalion has lost half of its losses due to the previous charge, and now there are only fifty horsemen left."

"In terms of the Yongyi Battalion, there are only about 200 of the five hundred brothers in Quling."

"The Yongyi battalion Yang Hao's total loss is not large, and there are about 400 people."

"And in terms of baggage, thanks to the owner of the village, he took the lead in secretly taking the lead in carrying food out of the camp a day ago, and now it should be in a small village that we passed by when we came before, twenty miles away from Yongding Gate." Zhou Weihang reported the losses of each battalion in 1510.

Yuan Chao also made a tacit calculation in his heart when he heard this, and he brought 400 Chen military camps and 1,000 Chen people to the north to Qinwang, and when he was in Baoding, he left 100 Chen military camps and 1,000 Chen people to sell and escort food. He took 300 Chen military camps to continue north, and after two battles, until now, even if you add the old men in the scout camp, there are now more than 170 people left. This Chen military camp really can't be tossed anymore.

And the 1,000 Yongyi battalion that he had just recruited was now left with about 600 people, and the loss was nearly half. My loss this time is considered to be heavy.

And this time it was a defeat, and there was no material capture.

However, Yuan Chao thought about it carefully, and his strategic goal was basically achieved.

In terms of strength, he entered the Mangui camp this time and expanded the 1,000 Yongyi battalion, although there are only more than 600 left after the loss, but these more than 600 veterans who have gone through this war will definitely become the mainstay in their hands in the future.

In terms of influence, I still have a piece of music to listen to, although I don't know what the effect is, but this is also a big gain.

By chance, he got acquainted with Brother Sun, and he also changed history in this war, saving Sun Zushou, who would have died in this war in history.

In the position, he also made a pseudo-Qian, but it is estimated that with the death of Man Gui, his pseudo-Qianzhong can be regarded as turning the page.

After Yuan Chao summed up, he remembered that this time maybe Wang Ze had already sold grain and made a fortune, so he felt that this time he went north to King Qin.

After listening to Zhou Weihang's report. Yuan Chao didn't give any further orders, just asked him to take good care of the wounded, rest well, and wait for the next arrangement.

And Sun Zushou's side also counted out detailed data, the original battalion of 5,000 people, until now there are only about 2,000 people left, and there are about 200 people in his own soldiers, and now there are only about 100 people left. In short, one word can be summed up, and that is more than half of the loss.

Sun Zushou was also resolute, and immediately compressed the establishment, and organized the remaining 2,000 people into two thousand generals, and the two thousand generals who were still alive after the war held official positions.

After Sun Zushou finished rectifying, he and Yuan Chao got together again, and the soldiers of both of them only carried one day's rations, so they were looking forward to some good news coming from the city, so as to change the current situation of lack of medical care and medicine, lack of food and clothing, but they were also afraid that Emperor Chongzhen would not be able to say anything, so they ordered to take them down.

Yuan Chao and Sun Zushou, under the root of the city wall, watched the sky from white to black, there was no news on the city wall, only Wang Zhong, the commander of the capital camp in the city, threw down some small amount of medicinal materials on the city, so that Yuan Chao and Sun Zushou felt that the people on the city wall and in the city wall were really their own people, not cold stones and silent air.

For the Yuan Dynasty and Sun Zushou under the root of the city wall, it can be regarded as better news that the Jin army, which won the victory this time, is estimated to have lost about 2,000 people after the whole battle. For Huang Taiji, who only has tens of thousands of Jin troops, he also wants to take a good breath and rest, so he did not lead heavy troops to attack the remnants of more than 2,000 Ming troops under the Yongding Gate, which has no oil and water to speak of, and is a hard bone.
