Chapter 133: Mood

The east is white, the morning glow is full of sky, the morning sun is swaying in the wilderness, reflecting the figures and the mess all over the ground, the east and west armies fought a decisive battle for a day and a night, and finally the dust has settled.

The Eastern Army was defeated, the corpses and baggage were scattered for more than ten miles, the infantry except for those who were not killed, most of them were captured, and most of the cavalry with more than half of the casualties escaped, relatively speaking, the casualties of the Western Army were relatively small.

The pursuit of the Western army continued all night, and it was not until dawn that they returned one after another, and the wilderness was full of soldiers escorting their captives, slowly approaching their own camp.

The soldiers and horses of the returning Western Army, with the ranks of barbarians being the most conspicuous, happily escorted the prisoners, drove more than a dozen carriages, which were full of money, silk, materials and heads, which could be described as a bumper harvest.

As the saying goes, "the victorious cat beats the tiger", the smiling brutes were immersed in the joy of beating the water dogs, and they were in a very good mood, completely forgetting the ugliness of their own rout yesterday afternoon.

According to the past, according to the rules in the cottage, whoever grabs these trophies will be theirs, but this time it is different, everyone is fighting with the official army, and the rules are much stricter.

The king of Xiyang said that it was not allowed to fight for merit, and the spoils of war and the head should be distributed uniformly, so the leader of the barbarian soldiers who was in a hurry to redeem the merit repeatedly ordered his subordinates to steal money and materials and rob the head.

The king of Xiyang has always rewarded and punished clearly, and the leaders don't want to touch their heads, so they just wait for a moment to reward their merits, and the officials and soldiers have strictly forbidden the abuse and indiscriminate killing of prisoners, so the attitude of the barbarians towards the prisoners is not bad.

Using the ropes that had been prepared a long time ago, the captives were tied one by one and strung together, and a team of twenty captives was escorted westward, and when they looked up, the wilderness was full of such teams, and there were many pack horses and war horses, all of which were driven back to their main camp by the soldiers of the Western Army.

The sound of horses' hooves was near, and the cavalry chasing the enemy returned one after another, and on the saddle of each horse, there were many bloody human heads, and the barbarians were quite afraid to pull aside, so that these killing gods who even had the smell of blood and horses passed through.

The cavalrymen who had pursued the enemy all night were tired, and they had won a lot in this battle, chasing out more than 20 miles, and almost all the routs were wiped out, and the heads of the generals above the commander of Shuai Du were cut down a lot, and when the prisoners had finished pointing the heads, it would be counted in the great merit.

Of course, cutting so many heads can't all be counted on them, thanks to the concerted efforts of the whole army to kill the enemy, and the commander needs to be the commander to administer justice when the military merits are finally distributed, and the king of Xiyang has always been fair and does not need to worry about his credit being robbed, so the cavalry are in a good mood.

A large amount of cooking smoke rose from the main camp of the Chinese army, which was the men preparing morning food and hot water, thinking that they would be able to eat hot food, drink hot soup, and wash their faces with hot water, and the returning soldiers walked a little faster.

Behind the Chinese army, next to a newly dug well, the young men struggled to pump water, and carried the cool well water to the cooking trucks, and the field cooking vehicles were lined up, and the men were busy boiling water for cooking.

After the officers and soldiers won the battle, the men and young men who had been anxious were smiling, in a good mood, and full of enthusiasm to do their work, after all, the victory of the officers and soldiers meant that they would not have to worry about their lives.

The cloth spread on the ground was placed with a large number of cooking cakes, ham, sausages, salted eggs, meat floss and other food taken from the baggage cart.

Wang Yuwenwen of Xiyang was inspecting the preparation of the diet at this time, checking the quality of millet, wheat and rice from time to time, listening to the reports of the military officials to see if anyone dared to be shoddy.

Soldiers who are fighting their lives on the battlefield must not eat food mixed with sand, rice must not be moldy or blackened bad rice, ham, meat floss, sausages, salted eggs, and those that are moldy and smelly must be thrown away, and they cannot be given to the soldiers to eat.

Not to mention that when the guys cook porridge, they must put enough rice, and the porridge must be thick enough to be inserted into the chopsticks without falling, if anyone dares to fool Yu Wenwen, Yu Wen Wen will kill people to set an example.

This is the case at the front, and the same is true at the rear, Yuwen Wen sent a special person to supervise the military food, responsible for counting the "defective rate" of food, if it is found that the ham, meat floss, sausage, and salted eggs made by the workshop exceed the "defective rate", the Huangzhou government is to find the relevant responsible person to settle the account.

In order to support the workshops in the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion and expand 'employment', Yu Wenwen did not hesitate to purchase military supplies from various workshops in the form of paid procurement, which lasted for more than a year.

In order to raise a huge amount of military spending, Yuwen Wen has already offered the killer weapon of over-issuing circulation coupons, and at this time, if there are profiteers who dare to fool the officials and soldiers with shoddy products, he will have to borrow people's heads.

After inspecting the food preparations, he went to the medical camp on the side and talked to the wounded soldiers, Yu Wenwen took the hot cooking cakes and a bowl of salted egg porridge and returned to the Chinese army.

Changshi Weixuan is giving orders to the military officials, his own side has won a great victory, and there are still many things to deal with the aftermath, such as taking care of prisoners, counting the spoils of war, counting war exploits, etc., the affairs are complicated, and they must not be delayed.

Although there are a lot of things to do, it is not a problem for Wei Xuan, after all, he is not a "clear stream" who can only talk, and when he is the marshal of the march, he is not only a supervisor of the army, but also has to manage military affairs as a chief of staff.

There is such a capable person to take care of military affairs, Yuwen Wen is very relaxed, although he did not participate in the pursuit of the enemy soldiers, but also sleepless all night, first, the joy of the great victory made him excited, unable to really sleep, and second, he had a dream when he was napping, and the dream was so terrifying that he couldn't take a nap later.

In order to prevent him from personally chasing the rout, Wei Xuan said the words "and the knife is like water", in the original history, this is a poem written by Zhou Bangyan, a lyricist in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is the grudge of the cuckold man, so it makes Yuwenwen think about it.

Thinking about it day and night, Yuwenwen had a green hat dream when he was napping.

He dreamed that he couldn't change anything, that year, Yu Chi Chifan, who entered the palace, was forcibly occupied by Yu Wenyun after getting drunk, and in the face of the supreme imperial power, Yu Chi Chi Fan succumbed, and he also succumbed.

Every few days, Wei Chi Chi has to be edicted to enter the palace, and once he goes, he will stay in the palace for a few days, and when he comes back, his legs are weak and he can't even walk, and he, a cuckold husband, can only hug and cry with his wife, powerless to change anything.

This humiliating dream was too exciting, which stimulated Yu Wenwen to be energetic, and his mood was extremely bad, and it lasted for about half an hour before returning to normal.

Although history has changed with his own efforts, in fact, Yuwenwen still has a knot in his heart, Wei Chi Chi is far away in Yecheng, and he feels a little melancholy every time he thinks about it.

He didn't know if the princess would be forced to remarry by her mother's family, and he didn't know if the princess would be forced to marry someone in order to protect the son.

Before I knew it, at noon, the preliminary results of the battle were counted, and the officer army (Yuwen clan) won a complete victory, capturing a large amount of grain, grass, and baggage, and the enemy army was almost completely wiped out except for a small number of cavalry.

In this battle, 79 generals above the rank of Shuai Du were killed, and there was not one of the main generals of the enemy army.

According to the captive, when Wei Chi Youqi's left army was broken, he concentrated his cavalry and made a detour to cover the left flank of the assault army at night, but was routed by the left army, which had already been prepared.

Because of the fast escape, the cavalry of the left army tried their best to chase and chased until dawn, but they could not catch up, and let it run away.

Failed to capture Yu Chi Youqi alive, Yu Wenwen's hostage exchange plan fell through, although he was a little disappointed in his heart, he quickly resolved his negative emotions, because this battle was indeed a great victory.

The field forces of the Wei Chi clan in Huaibei are finished!

In the midst of laughter, Yu Wenwen looked to the east, he was not looking at the vortex, but at Xuzhou further east.

It doesn't matter if he can't catch Wei Chi Youqi, Yu Wenwen made up his mind to first sweep the prefectures and counties south of the Yellow River and north of Huaishui, and then wave his army north to attack Hebei, and when the army is in Yecheng, he will personally rescue his wife and children!
