And when Zhou Bian woke up from a nap, the young master sent someone to deliver the latest news from the front. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe 5,000 soldiers left behind by the Han army took much more time than last time to clean up all the corpses of the Korean soldiers under the city. In several places in the north and south of the city, the young master arranged for someone to count them, and the last count showed that the Korean army had cleared out more than 17,000 corpses.

Hearing this news, even Zhou Bian himself didn't believe it, the Han army had invested a total of 90,000 troops today, and the mortality rate was as high as one-fifth, and the death ratio with the royal family was also as high as three to one. Or are the officers and men of our army too heroic.

But it's relieved to think about it, Sun Tzu has said that the siege is the bottom, and the tall city wall defense has been implemented in the entire cold weapon era in the East and West, and it must also have its meaning of existence, and then think about Zhu Yuanzhang's high wall building strategy, it seems that it is extremely necessary to strengthen the defense of the city wall.

Then do you want to enclose all the land of Luoyang Wangji like building the Great Wall? Zhou Bian had a whim, but then shook his head, the cost is too high, not to mention, it is not conducive to communicating and cultivating the minds of the royal family, in the future, it is better for the royal family to take the initiative to attack if it has the strength, it is said that offense is the best defense, this should be true.

With such a big victory, how can you not celebrate? That night, Zhou Bian ordered to give all the soldiers in the city more food, killed a few pigs and sheep, and each person could get a little bit, and at the same time, the secretary of the army also wrote down the list of the dead and the list of the battles and meritorious services in the city.

At the same time, at the strong request of the Queen Mother and the Grand Master, Zhou Bian feasted the nobles in the city, and almost all the nobles were present to share the joy of the royal family once again repelling the Korean army.

In fact, Zhou Bian was unwilling to set up a banquet now, the Han army was still eyeing outside the city, and he would rush up again at any time and bite hard, but the Queen Mother insisted on this, and Zhou Bian had no choice. And think about it, although the defense of the city mainly depends on the people at the bottom, but the emotions of the nobles still have to be appeased, who let this be a semi-slave and semi-feudal society, who makes them nobles?

Held for another day, although the price of more than 5,000 people was killed, but the news of the heavy damage to the Korean army of 17,000 still spread in the city, and there was a jubilation in Luoyang City that night, not only the sergeants and soldiers of the army and the people who served in front of the army, but also the peasants who took refuge outside the city, etc., also got the royal family's meal, and they were all overjoyed. Of course, there are still a very few exceptions, Liu Yun and Yangzhongqiao are not so excited tonight, and even a little depressed.

Among them, Yangzhongqiao is a banquet for a polite son in a wine shop in the city, and it is Yan Gao, the so-called willingness to gamble and lose, which is probably what it means. And Liu Yun took the initiative to ask to stay at the east gate at night, but he was holding a pot of wine in his hand, and he didn't care about scruples, he drank it directly to his mouth, and it was forbidden to drink alcohol in the army, but today it was not Liu Yun's vigil, he was coming by himself, so no one cared.

After thinking about it carefully, these two people have one thing in common, that is, when the Korean army came to attack in the morning, they were both at the Pingmen in the south. Who would have thought that Pingmen all the way was actually the direction of the Han army's fake attack, and the 10,000 Han soldiers who rushed in the end were only shouting under the city, constantly dodging, no matter how clever the shooting skills of Yangzhongqiao were, they couldn't help the other party to dodge, so Yangzhongqiao was defeated by Yan Gao at the east gate in the north with a difference of a few people. Although Yan Gaokou said that he would give up, Yangzhongqiao refused to rest, so he found a small wine shop that was still open for business and drank happily.

As for Liu Yun, he was even more aggrieved, although he didn't bet with Wang Sunjian, but Liu Yun was not convinced, everyone killed the enemy the same, why did he Wang Sunjian kill fewer soldiers in battle, but killed many more enemy soldiers? When the statistical results came out, Liu Yun still didn't believe it, so he went to the north to take a look, and roughly counted them before he was convinced. But why is that? I was obviously already working hard, and my soldiers were also very desperate, and even the enemy soldiers couldn't get up to the city wall, but why was this still the case? I know that Wang Sunjian is a little better than myself, but there is no need for such a big gap. And at night, all the generals who had participated in the war during the day were drinking in the palace, Liu Yun himself did not want to go, and no one spoke to solve his doubts, so General Liu had to drink and scold his mother, so frightened that the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to approach.

Due to Zhou Bian's restraint, the night banquet in the palace ended in less than an hour, and it was already extremely fast to hold a banquet of this level in this era, but fortunately, all the nobles drank very happily, and even thanked the royal family for their kindness, and finally dispersed in an extremely harmonious atmosphere.

It's just a pity that Zhou Bian has so much good wine and food, it would be great if he could reward the soldiers before the army, but the times are like this, and non-personal power can change.

The extremely calm night soon quieted down, and after the war, it was destined that the night would not be peaceful, it was really joyful in the city and worried outside the city, and I don't know how much temper the white-haired and bearded old general had in the handsome tent, and how much gray hair he had left.

After accumulating more than ten days of offensive, I don't want to finish in front of more than 200 catapults, and only half of all the siege equipment has been dragged back, and most of them can't be used directly again, and the terrifying flying stones have smashed the thick planks out of holes one after another. Looking at the nearly 20,000 people who died, most of them were stoned to death, and their appearance was unbearable, even the old general who was used to seeing the war couldn't help but curse in his stomach, where is this catapult, it is simply a human life harvester.

However, the war will continue, and in any case, the old general will not allow it to retreat like this, fortunately there are other ways, fortunately, there is still time, and there are still troops.

The night passed quickly, and Zhou Bian climbed the Dingding Gate Tower as soon as it was dawn, but the strange thing was that he did not see the Korean army coming, and after waiting for a while, he only waited for a scout's return, saying that the Korean army did not make any moves this morning, and the Korean army camp was quiet.

Could it be that the South Korean army was beaten yesterday and was scared and wanted to rest? I can see Han Jun every day, but I don't come today, I'm really not used to it, Zhou Bian held on to the female wall and thought angrily, if you really can't fight, just retire from the army, hello and me, why do you need to stay here?

But think about it, the South Korean army has lost less than a quarter of its strength, it still has an advantage in troops, and it still has the strength of a war, so it will definitely rest for a few days and will launch a more fierce offensive again. For South Korea, everything that offends the royal family has been done, but it can't take down the weak royal family, that's a joke among the princes.

Therefore, the Korean army will still come. However, this time also happens to give the royal army a time to recuperate, I believe that after yesterday's battle, whether it is the command ability of the officers or the ability of ordinary soldiers to respond to the battle, it has been greatly improved, and after the army rests, it will only burst out with greater combat effectiveness.

After waiting on the city tower for an hour, until the sun rose high, he had not received the news of the arrival of the Korean army, and the scouts sent to him came back, and the camp of the Korean army was still quiet, and he ordered people to pay attention to the movements of the Korean army and let most of the soldiers go down to the city to rest, and Zhou Bian himself drove back to the palace.

After being tired for so long, it's time to take a good rest, Zhou Bian thought. However, walking on the road, before he arrived at the palace, Zhou Bian suddenly thought that he had not walked around Luoyang City for so many days, and he didn't know what the situation in the city was, whether the nobles were really safe, whether the market was still open normally, whether the suburbs outside the city in the streets were stable, and the great enemy was outside, and the city could be chaotic. So Zhou Bian ordered to go down, and the carriage of the king, together with the 1,000 soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army who escorted them, turned south and went straight to the poor settlements in the south of the city.

There are many empty houses and empty land in the south of the city, so the suburbs outside the city are also arranged the most, and I am afraid that these poor people who have nothing to do will be bewitched by others and are easy to gather to make trouble. The experience of feudal rule over several thousand years shows that the poor people often rise up the most, and these people are the least afraid of death, although they rarely succeed, but as long as they succeed once, even if they are close to success, they will deal a heavy blow to the ruling class. Now that Zhou Bian has changed his position to the ruling class, he naturally has to guard against this matter first.

Soon after inspecting the south of the city, fortunately, there is no phenomenon of gathering crowds to make trouble, not even tendencies, and most of the people who remain in the south of the city are women, the elderly and children, think about it, I also said yesterday, one of the three people is working for the royal family in the city, and the rest are women, the elderly and children, isn't this the phenomenon you see today.

So after comforting some of the left-behind personnel along the way, the team drove to the bustling Dingdingmen Street. But what Zhou Bian didn't expect was that most of the shops on the street were still open, especially some wine shops, almost all of them were open, and now that the food was tight, Zhou Bian had ordered a ban on wine making in the city, and the wine shops here were open.

It seems that it is not without benefit that Han Jun is late, at least Luoyang is not only the royal family, but even ordinary merchants have plenty of time to prepare. Although the prosperity on this street is not as good as in the past, it is still acceptable, and from this, Zhou Bian further understands the correctness of the speed of the soldiers.

However, when he walked further and gradually arrived at the West Gate, he saw a commotion in front of him, Zhou Mi and others immediately surrounded the carriage tightly, and Zichang quickly arranged for the soldiers in front to find out the situation, everything was so orderly, Zhou Bian nodded again, although he didn't know what was going on in front of him, but the reaction of the Royal Forest Army and the personal guards was still worth affirming, after all, they were all the people they brought out.

Soon there was news ahead, it turned out that more than 100 businessmen from all over the world wanted to go out of the city, but Ning Yue's Supervision Department was not allowed, shouting and wanting to disperse the crowd and drive back, and the more than 100 businessmen were naturally unwilling to be driven back without even seeing the city gate, so they reasoned with the people of the Supervision Department, and the scene was chaotic, and it turned into a trend of action.

Zhou Bian frowned, what he was most worried about still happened. When defending the city, the most taboo is to fight in front of you, and make trouble in the rear, and if you have no food to eat, it is a little easier to understand, but now you are making a noise to get out of the city, what is the situation, there is a war outside, can this city gate be opened if you want to? So Zhou Bian's anger suddenly came up.

"Zi Chang, you lead your troops to surround and disarm all those who want to go out of the city, and this king will deal with it personally!"

"No!" As soon as the chief of the son surrendered his hand and took the order, the Imperial Forest Army in front of him suddenly began to mobilize.

But Zhou Bian sneered, if you say it well, forget it, if you have a tough attitude, you will have to be locked up and released after Han Jun retreats.

With the departure of the chief, the commotion in front of him became even greater, and there were even shouts of killing. What kind of people are these, who dare to confront the army in the city, they are really bold.

Just as he was thinking about it, a person suddenly ran in front of him, medium one, and his robe was a scholar at first glance, and when he got closer, he found that it was Ning Yue. Seeing that it was Dr. Ning, and the king on the frame also nodded, the guards did not stop it and put it in front of the king's frame.

Ning Yue bowed to the ground, "Your Majesty has just received the news that someone is making trouble here, I didn't expect to rush to the scene, I saw the king's frame coming, I didn't think that it would disturb the king, it was really the crime of my subordinates." ”

Thinking about it, this is not Ning Yue's fault, and then look at Ning Yue's sweaty appearance, it seems that he also came in a hurry, so Zhou Bian made a move, "Doctor Ning is not in a hurry, get in the car and say!" ”

"Your Majesty obeys! Guilty! Saying that, Ning Yue lifted his dress, climbed up, leaned forward sideways and sat in front of Zhou Bian's side.

"The king, the city has been very quiet these days, and it is precisely today that this happened, the ministers hurried over, it turned out that there were several Wei Zhao merchants who wanted to move their families out of the city, and before they reached the city gate, they were stopped by the subordinates, and there was a dispute, and the ministers were also trying to transfer people to take it down and lock it down, but they didn't think that the king's royal forest army came. How to deal with this matter, please show the king! ”

"Well, now it is a foregone conclusion that my royal family will hold Luoyang, and the Han army was frustrated in attacking the city yesterday, and these people will go out of the city today, but I am afraid that something will be wrong. If you just don't want to stay in the city and want to return home, you can put it back, and if you can't say it clearly, then you will be arrested and treated as a crime of collaborating with the enemy. Zhou Bian said after pondering for a while.

After saying that, Ning Yue arched his hands, "The king is wise, the king is high!" The minister also thought that this was the case, if it was an ordinary businessman, he had left before the closure of the city, and yesterday the Korean army was defeated, and today he was going to go out of the city. ”

Ning Yue was still decisive, but Zhou Bian smiled, "I just said it, I'm afraid that Ning Qing has already thought of it, but he still has to come to test this king." I don't know how this king probably has Han Jun in mind, even if he is not a Korean spy, it is very easy to carry a letter out. However, the army outside is pressing, and the atmosphere in the city is tense, if you rashly arrest hundreds of people, I am afraid that it will be easy to cause rumors in the city, if someone has a heart to spread it, saying that my royal family arrests people indiscriminately, then everyone in the city is in danger, but it is easier to cause riots! ”

"Or the king's mercy! Let the ministers go down and inquire, and if a person who is accustomed to doing business in the city has an acquaintance in the city to testify, he will be released according to the king's will, and if it is a stranger and there is no one to guarantee him, then he will be arrested and put in prison and interrogated severely. ”

"Ning Qing is doing things, and the king can rest assured. So do it! Seeing that Ning Yue suddenly came up with a safe way, Zhou Bian also nodded with satisfaction.
