Chapter 639: A Great Victory Unprecedented in Ten Years!
Listening to Chen Zhi ask about the search for Ruan Bao and the attack on Wang Quan, Su Liao immediately knew it in his heart, and then reported: "When the enemy barracks outside the city were broken, the two Yang generals waited until the fog in the camp was blown away by the wind, and then they sent people to search. ”
He gave a brief introduction to the situation, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking of how shocked he was when he saw the return.
"Because the enemy suffered too many casualties, it took a lot of time just to deal with the corpses at that time, let alone identify, and after finding that there was no Ruan Leopard inside, General Xiao Yang immediately led people to pursue, but because the delay was too long, I am afraid it will be difficult to find the Ruan Leopard."
When Su Liao said it, he looked a little regretful, but he was actually quite glad in his heart, if he really caught that Ruan Leopard, the situation would be a little complicated, because although Ruan Bao was Wang Jun's subordinate general, he was a named Zhonglang general in the court, and once he caught it in his hand, it would immediately be a hot potato.
This is not as good as Duan Wenyang, that Duan Wenyang also has the name of a general, and he is more handsome, but in the eyes of the imperial court, it is just a general in a clan, and the people above will not pay attention to it, because they look at the whole of Duan Ministry.
But Ruan Bao is different, that is on the roster of the court officials and the military department, and if there is any mistake, it must be registered, conveyed to the top, and then passed on to the bottom, and once it comes back, it may be used.
Of course, Su Liao was even more fortunate that Ruan Bao was able to escape under such circumstances and not die on the spot, otherwise the situation would be even more complicated.
As soon as he thought of this, he sighed again in his heart, and was even more afraid, and couldn't help but say: "This battle of the city, although the results are great, but the enemy army has nearly 10,000 deaths, it is really incredible, the power of the poison and fire, it is really beyond imagination." ”
Chen Zhi was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "When the Yang family brothers return, I will mention this matter to them." ”
When Su Liao heard this, he said he understood, and then said: "After discovering that Ruan Bao had fled, Yang Gongzi did not immediately lead his troops to pursue, but cleaned the battlefield and passed the news on at the same time, hoping to mobilize enough scouts to search the relevant area to see if he could find anything." ”
Chen Zhi said: "I have already approved this matter, and it is indeed a good idea to let the scouts search, otherwise his thousands of soldiers and horses, even if they are all sent out, may not be able to have much effect." ”
"In addition," Su Liao glanced down at the pamphlet in his hand, "It's about reporting the battle results to the imperial court, how to write this?" But Bo Zhenbu and Duan Bu are okay to say, in this battle of the city, Ruan Bao led the troops, and it is really difficult to write. He looked up at Chen Zhi, "Do you want to mark it to show that this person is rebellious, and he should have led the army to pursue the Huns, but he was bewitched by Wang Quan, and instead came to attack Daijun?" ”
This set of rhetoric is derived from Chen Zhi, and it is a discussion of Chen Zhi on the execution ground.
Chen Zhi simply shook his head and rejected the proposal, and then said: "This is just a famous statement, there is no need to speak like this to the imperial court, it is enough to write down the process of this matter clearly, then someone in the court will help us to complete the matter." ”
Su Liao's heart moved, expressing understanding.
Just as Chen Zhi said, when this record is reported to the imperial court, of course it will alarm all parties, and when someone questions it, there will be people who support it, and those who question it may not have an enmity with Chen Zhi, and those who support it are not necessarily friends, just for their own interests.
Thinking of this, Su Liao coughed lightly and said, "There is one more thing, which is the problem of this battle report and battle record. ”
When Chen Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "I have also considered this, list the original record of three out of one, and then report it, otherwise it will be a lot more troublesome to come and go." ”
When Su Liao heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The so-called column of three to take one, is to hide the original record and only take out one-third to report to the imperial court.
"In the siege of this generation of counties, nearly 10,000 people were captured, and the rest were scattered, and when the city was fought, 8,000 enemies were destroyed, and nearly 20,000 were captured! Many of them were unable to move because of the tobacco poison in their bodies, unable to escape, and even less able to fight back, so they became captives! This amount is incredible! Su Liao shook his head, and sighed with emotion, "If it is the people below who suddenly report such a record, I can't believe it!" Even if only one-third is reported, it will be a great victory that the dynasty has not won in ten years! ”
"I've read the frontier war reports in recent years," Chen Zhi laughed, "There are many people who beheaded 1,000 or 2,000 enemies, and there are even 5,000 people who beheaded in that battle, but there are fewer prisoners." ”
"The lord is knowingly asking," Su Liao smiled bitterly, "Now this side of the frontier, the northern Youzhou is controlled by Wang Jun, and the tribes in this side of the territory are almost all related to him, and they can't really fight in a real way, so in the occasional conflict, it may not be more than a hundred people to really behead the capital, but the battle record is ten times higher, I heard that the Liangzhou generation in the northwest is the same, where will it be like Taishou you, take one of the three." ”
"There is no way to do this, to be honest, I am afraid that the DPRK and China will not believe it, and it is inevitable to ask too much, and tens of thousands of prisoners before and after are still of great use, all of them are reported, and it is inconvenient to do it." Chen Zhi revealed a little plan.
Su Liao naturally knew that it was time for us to deal with things.
Chen Zhi said again: "In addition, I read the situation in the report, saying that most of the prisoners on the other side of the city are weak because of the poisonous fog, and even standing is a problem?" ”
Su Liao nodded and said: "Most of these people are located at the edge of the barracks, or in the middle part, although they are not completely shrouded in the poisonous fog, but the fog moves with the wind, and many people have time to escape in the future, and when they come back to their senses, they have no strength, and the poisonous fog is blown away by the wind, so they are captured in the same place." ”
Chen Zhi said: "Since this is the case, then make a soup with herbs appropriately and give them to take, otherwise after a long time, this group of people should also be abolished." ”
Su Liao nodded in understanding.
So, after the two said a few more words, Su Liao said goodbye, and he had to go down to prepare for the two days.
There were two battles, one in Dai County, one in Dangcheng, and if you count the previous attack of Ke Bo Zhenbu, it is three.
After these three battles, the recruits on the Daijun side miraculously did not have much damage, and even most of the wounded appeared when they attacked Ke Bo Zhenbu at the beginning, and the next two sieges, although the number of enemies was more, there were almost no wounded.
However, the damage to personnel is one thing, but the loss of supplies cannot be left uncounted, and the enemy army has destroyed many villages and manors along the way, and even two dock forts have been breached.
Such a result also needs to be dealt with on behalf of the county yamen, whether it is pacification, disaster relief, or reconstruction work, it is quite a onerous problem.
In this regard, Chen Zhi handed over Chen Zi to co-ordinate, and Zhou Ao and others assisted, but this does not mean that Su Liao can stand by and watch, on the contrary, his burden is also very heavy, and it can even be said to be more complicated.
Whenever after the war, it is the most active period for spies, and there are never a few people who try to incite the people, and in addition, there are many people who want to take the opportunity to get in.
Even Chen Zhi's side is planning to infiltrate spies into other camps with the help of this chaos in the north, and these other forces must also be a general plan.
How to defend, screen, and even make use of the plan in turn are all issues that Su Liao has to consider.
After Su Liao left, Chen Zhi took Li Wei and Li Li again.
"Taishou, I've been preparing that object these days."
As soon as Li Wei came, he knew what Chen Zhi's purpose was, and he quickly reported it clearly.
Chen Zhi said: "Now that the situation is improving, that thing is temporarily useless, but since it has been made, it has to be reinforced, it happens that there are many defects in the first place, and in the process of manufacturing, you should have a number in your heart, where you need to improve, where you need to improve, you will slowly get it up." ”
Gong Zhihua nodded vigorously, indicating that he had it all in mind.
"Okay, if you need anything, just tell me directly, and naturally there will be no shortage of your needs."
Li Wei and Li Li thanked for a while, and then Li Li said: "Taishou, as you said before, this papermaking process will change, I don't know when it started, I have already arranged manpower." ”
"There's no need to worry about this, you can tell me the main points of your first place, so that people are familiar with it, and this new paper art is not in a hurry to use." Chen Zhi waved his hand and thought for a moment, "In addition, the existing paper mill does not need to continue to expand, just maintain the current scale." ”
"Huh?" Li Li was very surprised when he heard this, "In this case, won't you be able to keep up with the needs?" ”
After saying this, he felt that he had offended Chen Zhi, and made amends again and again, but in the end he couldn't help but say: "Taishou, you have a lot of opportunities, you may not know the current situation, although we have been fighting in Daijun these days, but because of the stability in the city, there are many stranded businessmen, and many people, taking advantage of the gap between the two sieges, come directly to ask for our blank paper, the demand is very great, and there are thousands of pieces of paper in one mouth!" ”
Li Wei also added next to him: "This group of big buyers, the price of a single sheet is very high, and they say that they will swallow as much as they want, and it is not a good thing to sell more to them at this time, why not expand production?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Zhi shook his head and smiled: "Think about it, who is this paper sold to?" Ordinary people use hemp paper at most, and a little whiter, it has to be a family, a rich family to accept, now our generation of county paper, but because of Luoyang famous, because of the general code and expensive, and found by the famous to be convenient for calligraphy and painting, so everyone flocks to it......"
Hearing this, Li Li looked confused, but Li Wei was thoughtful.
Chen Zhi looked at the different expressions of the two brothers and continued: "Those businessmen came here at the risk of their lives and had a great appetite, why could this be? It's not that as soon as they change hands, they can sell it at a larger price, the reason why the price is high is because there is no second family in the Central Plains that can get this kind of paper except for this generation of counties, and the number is scarce, so others are willing to spend more money to get it, and because of this, they can't produce too much! ”
"I see!" Li Wei's eyes lit up, "In this way, the hinterland of the Central Plains will never be satisfied, and that generation of county paper will always be expensive, sought after and pursued!" ”
