Chapter 117: An Epic Victory
In the end, under Huo Yu's coercion and temptation, the Xianbei Murong patriarch decided to join Huo Yu. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The info condition is to allow the entire Murong tribe to move south, settle in the territory of Liaodong, and enjoy the same status as the Han people, of course, the Murong tribe abides by the Han laws and learns the Han way of life.
After everything was negotiated, the Murong patriarch returned to the prisoner of war camp with a smile and began to assist in the screening of prisoners, and all the Xianbei prisoners of the small tribe were the targets of Huo Yu's wooing. As for the 10,000 commanders and 1,000 commanders who were screened out, they didn't have such good luck, Huo Yu would not keep these generals with a certain prestige to make trouble among the captives and kill them all.
After nearly two hours of screening, it was confirmed that He Lian had escaped, and Huo Yu was lost for a while! I'm afraid that my idea of sneaking up on Lu Longse will come to naught. However, the two thousand people of the Murong clan were ordered by Huo Yu to be guarded separately, and Huo Yu was still very cautious about the use of this group of people, at least through a few brainwashes to see the effect.
Back at the Taishou Mansion, Huo Yu took a break, so he went directly to the study. Where is Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, and Guo Jia waiting for his arrival.
"Welcome back victorious!" As soon as Huo Yu entered the door of the study, the three of them said in unison.
"Okay, let's not have any of this between us." Huo Yu waved his hand.
After Huo Yu sat down, he told him that he was worried that he would not be able to sneak attack Lu Longsai, and for a while the study fell silent, and the four of them were all thinking hard to see if there was a feasible way.
"Lord, there are only two places for Helian to escape, one is Lu Longsai, and the other is very likely to flee to Tanshi Huai. Either way, it's not good to do a sneak attack. After thinking for a while, Xun You took the lead in speaking.
"According to Gongda's intentions, what should the next part be?" Huo Yu asked.
"My lord, Zhong thinks this is a good time." Xi Zhicai spoke.
"Jia also thinks so!" Guo Jia got up and said at this time.
"Oh? How can Zhicai and Fengxiao teach me? ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then Guo Jia talked eloquently. Half an hour later, the discussion of the four was interrupted by the arrival of Dian Wei. Dian Wei smiled when he entered the door with the results counted by Xu Rong in his hand, and handed over the bamboo slip in his hand.
Huo Yu looked at Dian Wei's harmless smile and black lines on his face, and then sighed softly, and said in his heart: "Dian Wei seems to have learned badly, and he regrets not being in the first place." ”
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on the bamboo slips, Huo Yu didn't delay any longer, spread out the bamboo slips and studied them carefully. When he finished reading the last word, Huo Yu laughed wildly for a while, and said bluntly: "Epic victory, epic victory!" ”
"My lord, what is an epic victory?" Guo Jia, a curious boy, hurriedly asked when he found that Huo Yu had a new term.
"Well, it means, it's a model of doing more with less." Huo Yu paused and then said, "Come on, let's pass it on and see the results of this battle!" ”
Guo Jia quickly stepped forward and took the bamboo and read, "This ..... This...."Two words popped out of the old man's mouth.
Xun You couldn't sit still anymore, he knew that Guo Fengxiao, this kid, liked to play tricks on people the most, so he stepped forward and grabbed the bamboo slip to take a look, and muttered: "Rich..... Got rich ...... ”
After reading the bamboo slips, the three people did have three different reactions, and Xi Zhicai could guess that the results of this battle must be very brilliant.
"Lord, let me interject, I can't read, what is written on it? Xu Rong's mouth couldn't close when he handed it to me! Suddenly, Dian Wei's reckless voice appeared, which made the four of them sober up a lot.
"Zhicai?" Huo Yu smiled and looked at Xi Zhicai and asked.
"The lord said that he is, and he listens to him!"
So, Huo Yu slowly read out Xu Rong's battle report. There was a lot of content written in the war report, and in general, the 100,000-strong army of Xianbei was wiped out. In this battle, more than 58,000 Xianbei people were killed, more than 21,000 were beheaded by the Han army, more than 30,000 were trampled by cattle and horses, countless people were wounded, 21,407 people were captured, and the rest were scattered. On the Han side, only 3,000 cattle were lost, and only more than 1,000 soldiers were killed.
In terms of seizures, not to mention weapons, the Xianbei people lost almost all their blades. There was not much grain and grass, but there were as many as 60,000 war horses, of which more than 40,000 were intact, and the rest of the war horses could not fight on the battlefield, and there were many dead horses. Of course, this horse meat cannot be wasted, all in all, it is a great harvest.
The capture of such a large number of war horses, everyone here knows what this means, and Huo Yu's eyebrows lacked a trace of worry, such a large herd of horses, he does not have a horse farm, it seems that the preparations in this regard need to be strengthened.
"My lord, with so many war horses, we can recruit a large number of cavalry, but this source of troops is a problem." Guo Jia spoke.
"Although there are many war horses, it is not suitable to recruit too many cavalry at the moment, and there will be problems with logistics and supply." As the logistics director, Xun You certainly knows the pressure on logistics caused by such a large herd of war horses.
"These will be discussed later, and now the first problem is Tanshi Huai, since Zhicai and Fengxiao both think that the ambush method is feasible, arrange it over there." Speaking of this, Huo Yu paused slightly.
"No." After the four of them further perfected the details, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, and Guo Jia retreated.
After everyone dispersed, Huo Yu stretched his waist and walked to the backyard. Since Xianbei attacked, although Huo Yu has been discussing matters in the Taishou Mansion, he rarely returns to the backyard. Now that I can finally have a good night's rest, as for those Xianbei captives, someone will naturally arrange them, Huo Yu has already said in advance, as long as the Xianbei captives don't starve to death, they will make trouble when they are full.
When they came to the backyard, the eyes of the maids looking at Huo Yu changed along the way, but Huo Yu, who was completely immersed in the joy of the great victory, did not notice this change. Yu'er and Zhang Ning seemed to have known that Huo Yu was coming back today, and the food and wine had already been prepared, so they stood at the door to greet them, and saluted: "Congratulations to the triumph of the son!" ”
Huo Yu laughed, stretched out his hand to hug left and right, but the second daughter snatched it away dexterously. Huo Yu looked depressed at the moment, but Yu'er said: "Childe will bathe first, and then use the meal!" ”
Looking at the expressions of the children in front of him, Huo Yu smiled and said: "People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic." Yu hasn't eaten a few meals, so let's talk about eating first. ”
So despite the opposition of the second daughter, he took the bowl containing the corn and ate it in a big gulp. Looking at Huo Yu's eating appearance, Yu'er went straight to prepare hot water, leaving only Zhang Ning to accompany Huo Yu and wait.
After being full of wine and food, Huo Yu took a comfortable hot bath under the service of the two. Huo Yu fell asleep quickly that night, perhaps because he was too tired, Yu'er and Zhang Ning entered his arms left and right, but he didn't know it. The three of them slept quietly all night, knowing that the next morning would be in the morning.
