Chapter 1252: The First Discussion of Separation
The war was over, Li Jing collected his troops and returned to Jiankang, leaving Han Shizhong and others to clean up the battlefield, and waited until noon to see Han Shizhong leading the generals to report on the battle.
"Your Majesty, in last night's battle, 13,000 enemies were killed and 8,000 wounded were captured, of which 5,000 were seriously wounded." Han Shizhong showed joy, and he was able to make the enemy lose 21,000 people, which was already a very good record. Yue Fei's army of more than 100,000 people lost more than 20,000 people, and some people who escaped, at least nearly 30,000 or 40,000 people, and lost a lot of grain and grass in the camp.
"How much did we lose?" Li Jing nodded and asked again.
Everyone listened with solemn faces, although the Tang Dynasty was a surprise attack last night, but the Yue family army, under the leadership of Yue Fei, fought a bloody battle against the Tang army, if it wasn't for Wang Jun and others fleeing in the end, I really don't know how much effect it can have in the end.
"We've lost nearly 10,000 people." Wu Jue hurriedly said: "If it is a soldier of the Guards, he died in a fierce battle with Zhang Xian's forward battalion. The losses are also relatively large. ”
"Although he lost so many people, he defeated Yue Fei at all, so that in a short period of time, Yue Fei did not dare to invade Jiankang." Han Shizhong was still very happy, after all, he resisted Yue Fei's attack, as long as there was one, there would be a second time, and there were nearly 100,000 troops stationed in Jiankang, and it was not something that Yue Fei could fight if he said that he would fight.
"I have asked Wang Yin to send troops, although it is good, but Zhao Gou did not put many soldiers and horses in the coastal area back then, this time in order to fight against Zhao Huan, the soldiers and horses were emptied, so our Wang Yin's troops should be smooth, after all, they followed Fang Niangniang across the coast, and they are more familiar with the situation in that area, and most of the soldiers under their command are from that piece, perhaps because they are constrained by grain and grass, the scope occupied is not large, but when we come to our senses next year, we can attack from south to north, and seize Jiangnan in one fell swoop." Li Jing nodded, his face was also very relaxed, Yue Fei's losses were relatively large, if he knew the news of Wang Yin's troops, he would definitely not dare to move, it can be said that Jiankang is already as stable as Mount Tai.
"Your Majesty." Han Shizhong and other generals did not expect that Li Jing would let Wang Yin send troops, and they were surprised and happy in their hearts, with Wang Yin sending troops, it can be said that the overall situation in Jiangnan has been decided, and he and others will be much easier.
"This time, whether it is the conquest of Goryeo or the fierce battle against Yue Fei, the secretaries have worked hard, and they have passed on the decree to crown Han Shizhong as the Duke of Yingguo and Wu Jue as the Duke of Siguo. The rest of the generals, after Han Shizhong has calculated the merits, they will be presented to the Military Aircraft Department, and the rewards will be sealed, and the rewards will be rewarded, and Datang will definitely not treat the heroes badly. Li Jing glanced at everyone and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." Han Shizhong and Wu Jue glanced at each other, and fell to the ground one after another, and the generals behind them also shouted long live. Guogong is already the peak of the Tang Dynasty's meritorious service, except for Li Qiao and Li Fu, who were named county kings because they were born in the clan, and the other meritorious ministers are Guogong, Wu Jue and Han Shizhong have only been in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and they can be canonized as Guogong, and it will be spread out, which must shock the world.
"Meritorious service should be rewarded, this is the right thing, the ministers are bloody in the field, and they forget to die for the Tang Dynasty's Jiangshan Society, I am just sealing some titles, and when I conquer the four seas, I will definitely tear the soil and seal the territory. How big is this world, my Central Plains is just a corner of the sea, not to mention the distance, the nearby places such as Goryeo, Fusang, and Champong, may not be as good as the Central Plains, these places, I have occupied, and there are countless islands in the sea, outside the Western Regions, there are countless territories, even if I occupy them, my descendants may not be able to manage them, these places, I will be canonized to Zhongqing in the future, and they will be owned by the children and grandchildren of Zhongqing. ”
Wu Jue and others listened to a loud uproar, in fact, Li Jing's words are sometimes occasionally revealed, but in fact, since the Han Dynasty, this kind of division has become a taboo, non-emperor surname can not be the king, not to be divided, vainly discuss the division of the seal will not be forgiven, but I didn't expect that Li Jing actually discussed the matter of separation, although the division is not the Central Plains, but in the end it is the land, not a few miles, it is dozens of miles or even hundreds of miles, thinking that his descendants can be the king and hegemon in the land here, Everyone's hearts suddenly gave birth to infinite yearning.
Li Jing took everyone's expressions to heart, he didn't have any other thoughts, in the case of traffic and information asymmetry, even if he fought a strong country, it would be impossible to hold these lands in his hands in the future, it was better to divide them out, as the existence of Gongwei Central Plains, maybe he could also leave a way back for his children and grandchildren.
"As soon as Your Majesty's words come out, I am afraid that the generals in the army will all give up their lives and forget their lives to fight for Your Majesty." Wang Mu couldn't help but speak. Even if he has a glimmer of hope in his heart, his Lao Tzu is also a national prince, but he has no military exploits, if he can get part of the land, I believe that not only the generals in the court, even if it is a civilian system, there will be a chance to divide the seal.
"Hehe, it's still early in this matter, and now the world has not been reunified, and if you want to conquer foreign countries, this matter is still early." Li Jing said with a smile: "I'm afraid there won't be anything going on in Jiangnan in the short term, Jiankang will be left to the two of you, and I'm going to meet Bianjing." ”
"The ministers obey." Han Shizhong and Wu Jue hurriedly responded.
Just when Li Jing divided the generals, a hundred miles away from Jiankang City, Yue Fei led the remnants of the defeated generals to reluctantly set up a large camp, Zhang Xian and other generals also rushed reluctantly, Yue Fei ordered people to erect the Chinese army, sent people to gather scattered soldiers and horses, until the afternoon, only 90,000 people were gathered, and tens of thousands of horses, if they died in battle, they were captured, or they had fled, the army suffered heavy losses, the entire Chinese army tent was silent, no one dared to speak, it was originally a war that had the upper hand, but now it is unable to fight again.
"Although we were attacked by the enemy, but my Yue's army is the elite of the elite, some people retreat without a fight, so today's defeat, the commander, should be pulled out and killed." Zhang Xian stood up and shouted loudly. His eyes were red, and he looked at Wang Jun deadly. If Wang Jun hadn't left the battlefield first, letting the other soldiers and generals follow, the big battle might not have been like this, no wonder Zhang Xian was so angry.
"Zhang Xian, if you hadn't underestimated Han Shizhong, you didn't take the other party's feint attack to heart at all, how could you be attacked by Han Shizhong, how could there be something later, I call it preserving strength, Li Jing is brave, who knows if there are soldiers and horses behind him, if we continue to fight, I am afraid that there will be more of them." After hearing this, Wang Jun was immediately furious.
