Chapter 43: Useless Tactics

With Ju Yi captured and Wang Zhao surrendered, this tragic battle finally came to an end. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe soldiers and horses gathered around Wang Zhao, after throwing away the weapons in their hands one by one, all became prisoners of war at a high night. However, Gao Ye did not make it difficult for these soldiers anymore, but comforted him, and asked Xia Houde to take 2,000 soldiers and horses, and the more than 3,000 soldiers collected on the battlefield, to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible. He also ordered Xiahou Shang to immediately lead 3,000 troops, on the one hand, to send the wounded soldiers back to Juxian, and on the other hand, to prepare to transport grain and grass materials from Juxian. As for Xu Huang and Gao Shun, they reorganized their soldiers and horses, and with Gao Ye, after retreating five miles, they began to prepare to set up camp.

Although this battle was basically over by the time it was too late, by the time the camp was completely set up in the night, it was already dark. After all, after the war, the soldiers were tired, and the march along the way was not fast. If it weren't for the fact that the battlefield was full of corpses and smelly, maybe Gao Ye would not have moved the army at all, but would have camped on the spot. It wasn't until it was completely dark that Xiahoude returned to the camp with his soldiers and horses.

Speaking of which, there were more than 30,000 soldiers and horses dispatched by Gao Ye's men this time. Ju Yi also had 20,000 soldiers and horses. After this battle, although Gao Ye fought a skillful battle, there were more than 4,000 casualties. Although the total annihilation of Ju Yi's 20,000 horses was a great victory, such a price still made Gao Ye a little sad. In the end, the training of the newly recruited soldiers in Qingzhou is still not enough, among the 4,000 people, in addition to the more than 700 people killed in the battle of the pro-guards who shook the Euphorbia, almost ninety percent of the remaining are Qingzhou recruits. However, Gao Ye also felt that after experiencing this big battle, the combat effectiveness of these recruits would also be greatly improved.

As for Xiahoude, who cleaned up the battlefield, the first thing he did when he returned to the camp was to pay the order. This is military regulation, even if he wants to take a shower now, he has to pay the order before he can do it. Therefore, as soon as he entered the big tent, Xia Houde, covered in blood, arched his hand to Gao Ye and said: "General, the last general was ordered to clean up the battlefield, everything is finished, and now I am here to pay the order." ”

Gao Ye nodded and said, "Zhong Cao has worked hard, go take a shower first, wash the blood stains on your body well, and then report back in detail." ”

Charhoude gave up, then turned out of the big tent and hurried back to his tent. Fortunately, the weather is relatively warm now, so Xiahoude in the camp can't care about that much, so he asked his soldiers to fetch him a few buckets of cold water, so he washed the mud and blood stains on his body. Not only him, but every soldier who returned with him went through the stylized requirement of bathing. Even Yuan Jun, who was captured and returned, did not run away, and all of them were washed clean. This is a rule that has been set since Gao Shun became the head of Cao Ying's military training, as long as it comes down from the battlefield, everyone, even prisoners, must be cleaned!

Therefore, by the time Xiahoude entered the account again to pay the order, the whole person was already clean and refreshed. However, at this time, in the big tent, all the generals have also returned, and Xiahou Shang is now giving the order: "General Qiyu, in this battle of our army, 1,327 people were seriously wounded, all of which were brought back to Juxian by the last general, and one hundred and twenty-one people died of injuries on the way. The rest of the wounded are now in the care of military doctors. At the end, he will escort 3,000 stones of grain and grass back to the camp, and he will hereby pay the order. ”

Gao Ye snorted, and then smiled: "Boren, now that the logistics battalion is under your control for the time being, sit down first." After that, he looked at Xia Houde, who had just entered the account, and said, "Zhong Cao has cleaned up?" Let's talk about it, what was the outcome of this battle? ”

Hearing this, Xiahoude hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "General Qiyu, in the two battlefields of Milin and its west, our army has more than 3,100 dead in battle, and now it has been properly buried. Killed more than 10,000 enemy troops, obeyed the general's orders, did not pour the Jingguan, and buried them on the other side of the road. I have taken 6,114 prisoners under my command, and all of them have now been brought back to the camp and kept under strict guard. ”

"Okay, I know, Zhong Cao will sit down first." Gao Ye nodded when he heard this, and after seeing that Xiahou De was also seated, Gao Ye turned his head and asked again: "Yuanfu, what happened to Wang Zhao and Ju Yi now?" ”

Zhou Cang immediately arched his hand and said: "Lord Qi, those two guys have been divided and detained according to the orders of the lord. That Wang Zhao is fine, there is no problem. Since Ju Yi woke up, he has been scolding non-stop, I was angry, and I knocked him unconscious again, and I don't know if he is awake now. ”

As soon as Zhou Cang's words came out, everyone in the tent laughed all at once, especially Xu Huang, who was the happiest, and joked while laughing: "I can't think of Ju Yitang's famous Hebei general, but he is not Lao Zhou's enemy, haha!" But Lao Zhou, you have to be careful when you fight, our general will still use him to play tricks, if you are knocked to death at once, I am afraid that the general will be angry. ”

As soon as Xu Huang's words came out, Gao Ye, who had been nervous and didn't laugh just now, suddenly broke his skills, and suddenly burst out laughing, pointing at Xu Huang while laughing: "Gongming, Gongming, when will you learn to joke?" Haha, on the battlefield, I was bent on Ju Yi having to stay alive, so I didn't want his life. When the fight is over, think about it carefully, now this Juyi, I think it's better to die than to live. ”

"General, isn't our plan to let Yuan Tan and Ju Yi fight each other, so that we can profit from it? If Ju Yi died, wouldn't those meticulous works mixed with the defeated army be useless? ”

"Hey, didn't I expect that our ambush would be so successful at that time!" Gao Ye smiled bitterly and said, "I always felt that with Ju Yi's ability, then Yuan Jun would not easily rush into our ambush." When encountering such terrain, I always thought that Ju Yi would divide his troops, and he chased after him all the way, and guarded against the ambush of our army in the back on the other road. And once the troops are divided, it is more likely that Ju Yi will stay in the rear. Because in Ju Yi's view, his euphorbia can be described as invincible in the world. As long as they are allowed to rest for a while, even if Wang Zhao is ambushed by us, he can rescue Wang Zhao with his halberders. But how could I have thought that as soon as this guy saw me, the whole person was like crazy, and he fell into our ambush circle, haha! ”

Gao Shun on the side heard this, but his face was full of unhappiness and said: "Lord, I said before the war, let me go and meet the Euphorbia of Juyi for a while." As a result, your guards suffered heavy casualties, and my camp didn't have a good time at all. By the time I met the Euphorbia, they were already at the end of their crossbows. ”

When Gao Ye heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, okay, this is not a trap camp that has not followed you, I'm afraid that I won't be able to withstand Yuan Jun's two-sided attack." In this way, next time, if there is a strong army like the Euphorbia, I will definitely let you have a good time, okay? ”

When Gao Shun heard this, he didn't answer, but nodded helplessly, and continued to keep his silence. Xu Huang on the other side said: "General, since you think Ju Yi is useless now, how should we fight the battle now?" ”

"Originally, I sent those fine works to blend into the rout, so that Yuan Tan would firmly believe that Ju Yi had rebelled, so that once we didn't catch Ju Yi, or deliberately put him back, there would inevitably be a scuffle between Yuan Tan and Ju Yi. But now, as soon as Wang Zhao's kid falls, I already know the truth of Yuan Tan. There are only 30,000 horses in Guangxian County, and they are all newly recruited sergeants in the plains, so with such combat power, even if there is no strategy, he is not our opponent. In this way, this guy Ju Yi must not let the tiger return to the mountain. ”

Xu Huang nodded when he heard this: "In this way, won't my previous calculations become useless?" ”

"Not really, although the discord plan did not go as I had envisioned, it now seems to have become a useless plan. But the news that I asked Xizuo to bring back will inevitably surprise Yuan Tan, not to mention that I deliberately let them take a walk, saying that there is Ju Yi in Guangxian County who can be left behind. In this way, Yuan Tan either thoroughly investigated the county seat of Guangxian County, or directly withdrew from the county seat. If he investigates thoroughly, Wen Ze and Xuangao will have more time to conquer the city. If he retreats directly, we can chase after him, and then let Wen Ze cooperate with us and attack from both sides, and this battle will be won. What to do, let's see Yuan Tan's reaction first, I'll wait for the daily progress slowly. ”

When Xu Huang heard this, he also nodded and said, "That's okay." Now that the war is coming to an end, and these Qi counties, Le'an, Jinan and other places also need to be governed, should we write to the lord and ask him to send some people? ”

Gao Ye was about to speak, but he saw a small colonel outside the tent hurriedly running in, kneeling on one knee, presenting a scroll with both hands and saying, "General, Ying is in a hurry." ”

Gao Ye frowned when he heard this, Ying Du reported urgently, Ying Du had Cao Cao in charge at this time, what could happen? Even if there is something, it seems that there is no need to report to yourself. However, Gao Ye still said loudly: "Take it." "After checking that the secret is in good condition, I opened it and took a closer look.

Not to mention that Gao Ye felt strange, even Xu Huang and the others were confused, and they couldn't figure out what was going on. However, Xu Huang feels that the current situation is also very good. Even if there is really something big in Yingdu, and Gao Ye needs to go back immediately, this battle can be won smoothly by himself, Yu Ban and the others.

However, after Gao Ye read the urgent paperwork, he was first surprised, then happy, and then stunned. Such an expression really made Xu Huang a little confused. So he asked, "General, what's wrong?" ”

"It's a big event, and it's a great joy." Gao Ye immediately smiled, "Didn't you just say that you need the lord to send some people, people are here, Guan Ning, a disciple of Kang Chenggong, and Wang Lie, who was with him to avoid trouble in Liaodong, all said that they wanted to serve in Qingzhou, but no, they were sent by the lord." When Gao Ye said this, he suddenly paused, and then said with a happy face: "Also, the lord told me that Yan'er gave birth to a big fat boy for me again, saying that I should hurry up and think of a good name." You say, "Isn't this a great joy?" ”
