The defeat is like a mountain, and the situation on the battlefield is no longer something that a major general can control, unless Li Wenhou leads the elite of the army to raid a way now, otherwise, the situation will become more and more unfavorable.

After chasing and killing the Qiang cavalry for a long time, Zhao Yuncai ordered the cavalry to clean up the battlefield.

By the time the battlefield was completely cleared, it was already dark.

Zhou Shen's body can be seen everywhere with bloodstains, but his expression can't hide the excitement, the Qiang people's surprise attack this time ended in failure, he is the most vanguard of the general, he will still get a lot of credit, at the beginning Zhou Shen may have an opinion on Zhao Yun, but now Zhao Yun has used his battlefield ability to make Zhou Shen admire.

This is the case with military generals, who often show arrogance and may be disgusted by others, and a victory in a battle is enough to prove their ability.

"General Zhao, there are a lot of gains on the battlefield, right?" Zhou Shen asked with a smile.

Cavalry battles, the benefits after victory are unimaginable, but anyone who becomes a cavalry is the elite of the army, and he will definitely not be stingy in equipment, and war horses are also scarce in the army, even if Zhao Yun does not need it, he can get a lot of price if he sells it.

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Being able to defeat the Qiang people this time has a lot to do with General Zhou's help." ”

"In this battle, more than 500 Qiang people were killed, more than 400 people were captured alive, and more than 300 war horses were captured."

Zhou He said: "Congratulations to General Zhao. "Zhao Yun can mention his merits, Zhou He is already satisfied, and besides, it is Zhao Yun and his cavalry that contribute the most this time.

"General Zhou, now that the Qiang cavalry has retreated, our army is not as good as waiting for the army near Meiyang."

"General Zhao's words are very true, and the general will order someone to pass on the good news to the army." Zhou Shen said.

Zhao Yun nodded, did not refuse, Zhou Shen was in charge of the report on the situation on the battlefield, it must be beneficial, at least he would exaggerate his merits a little, but Zhao Yun believed that Zhou Shen was measured.

The morale of the cavalry under Zhao Yun's command was high, and this was the first large-scale cavalry confrontation since they went out to fight the Qiang.

Through this battle, Zhao Yun discovered the weakness of the cavalry in the army, especially the inability to see things clearly at night, which will definitely have an impact on the engagement under special circumstances, and it is still beneficial to avoid this problem as much as possible, the key is that the living conditions of people in this era cannot be compared with the living conditions of later generations.

This situation also made Zhao Yun realize how useful it was to make better use of strategy in battle.

If it weren't for the strategy to engage the Qiang cavalry, Zhao Jun's cavalry would definitely suffer a lot of losses.

Fast Horse quickly spread the news to the army, Zhang Wen smiled, the vanguard army has made a contribution, and his contribution as a general is naturally indispensable.

Before Huangfu Song led the army in Liangzhou could not conquer the city occupied by the Qiang people, after he came, the Qiang people directly gave up Jincheng, which is also the credit of Zhang Wen, two successive military exploits, proving Zhang Wen's ability to lead the troops to fight.

Dong Zhuo's face was not very good-looking, he recommended Zhao Yun to serve as a pioneer general in order to weaken the strength of the cavalry under Zhao Yun, what he didn't expect was that Zhao Yun would do such a thing on the battlefield.

The most important thing a military general needs is merit, otherwise, even if he operates secretly, it is not easy to get promoted in his position.

"I don't want Zhao Yun to lead the cavalry to fight, but he has such a strategy." Zhang Wen said with a smile.

Yuan Peng said: "General Zhang, against the Qiang people, it is precisely the need for a fierce general like Zhao Yun. ”

It seems to praise Zhao Yun, but in fact, it is not, Yuan Peng This is to further push Zhao Yun into Zhang Wen's sight, and if there is a difficult war in the future, Yuan Peng will definitely recommend Zhao Yun.

Zhang Wen may not be as good as Huangfu Song in leading troops to fight, but in terms of figuring out people's opinions, Huangfu Song can compare, otherwise, he will not become commonplace, there is a little grudge between the Yuan family and Zhao Yun, he knows, but in Zhang Wen's opinion, this kind of thing is just a matter between juniors, Yuan Peng, as the ruling Jinwu, should not be mixed into such a thing, otherwise, it will not be a joke for others.

"General Yuan's words are very true." Zhang Wen smiled tepidly, the strength of the Yuan family is huge, and he is not willing to touch the mold.

Let's say that after Li Wenhou's army was defeated, he returned to Qishan, and immediately led his soldiers to Meiyang, and the raid on the vanguard army failed, but suffered serious losses, if he stayed in Qishan for too long, maybe there would be other accidents, and the cautious Li Wenhou was not willing to take risks.

Zhao Yun on the battlefield gave Li Wenhou the feeling that he was a madman, and when he dared to die a soldier, Li Wenhou would do it, but with the improvement of his status, he would choose a safe approach when he fought and try to protect himself as much as possible, otherwise, wouldn't his years of hard work be in vain.

Back to the history of the war, Beigong Yu's complexion was not very good-looking, when fighting against the Han army, although the Qiang people did not occupy too much advantage, they were not at a disadvantage, and even occupied the initiative, and now Li Wenhou led the cavalry to suffer serious losses, which will have a great impact on morale.

Beigong Yu said with relief: "General Li, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and Zhao Yun is just a stinky kid, and it is not worth mentioning if he was lucky enough to win a victory." ”

Han Sui on the side frowned slightly, the army has always paid attention to clear rewards and punishments, if there is no strict system, how can you command a large army, Li Wenhou should be punished if he is defeated, otherwise it will give other generals an illusion.

"Mr. Han, Zhang Wen, the commander of the Han army, do you understand?" Beigong Yu set his eyes on Han Sui.

Han Sui said: "Zhang Wen is the Han Dynasty, ranked among the three dukes, and is extremely noble. ”

"What can you do with the third duke, maybe you are a fool in marching and fighting." Li Wenhou said disappreciatively.

Beigong Yu said: "General Li can't be ignored. ”

Thinking of the failure of the raid on Zhao Yun, Li Wenhou chose to remain silent.

"I haven't heard too much about Zhang Wen leading troops to fight before." Han Sui added.

"After the arrival of the Han army, it's not too late." Beigong Yudao, successive battles, let him realize the tenacity of the Han army, want to get enough benefits from the hands of the Han army, it is not a simple matter, occupy Jincheng, besiege Ji County, how favorable the situation was for the Qiang people at that time, but the next war was somewhat unexpected.

"Among the Han army, there is a fierce general like Zhao Yun, which is really a headache." Beigong Yu sighed.

Han Sui said with a smile: "This matter is simple, it is said that Zhao Yun has a conflict with the people of the Yuan family, and Yuan Peng, the deputy general of the Han army, is a member of the Yuan family, if he uses it, it may have an unexpected effect." ”
