"Won, we won, General Wu they are back, hahaha, we won ......"

"Great, we won......"

On the tall city tower, the Wei troops who were still guarding let out an earth-shattering cheer. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Columns of Wei soldiers slowly walked into the city gate with neat steps, and in the central area of the Jin Pass, the people who were still working hard heard the news of the victory of the Wei army from afar, and a one-armed man chopping wood did not know whether he was excited or moved with tears in his eyes.

The fighting at Linjin Pass finally stopped.

In the open space not far from the city gate, Zhang Meng was still directing some soldiers to dig pits to bury the dead bodies of both sides.

Because the chariot was already a pile of ruins, which several warriors pushed into the pit and set it on fire along with the corpses. Under the blazing firelight, a few wounded horses scattered scattered to gnaw on the little grass on the ground.

……

In the dim light, the smell of blood blew along the wind, perfectly interpreting everything that had just happened here.

Along the aisle lined up by the soldiers, Wu Ming, accompanied by Ni Tao, strode into the city, passing by the city gate, "See the vanguard general." ”

……

Walking through the buildings in the city, all around him were cheering, "The general is mighty, the Great Wei warrior is mighty......"

Walking through the crowd step by step, in that deafening shout, Wu Ming walked straight to the main mansion in the city like the moon held by the stars.

Pushing open the oily wooden door that had been soaked with firewood and oil, Wu Ming didn't have time to take a closer look at the futon in the center, and said softly: "Have the casualties of the people in the city, the loss of buildings, and the casualties of the army been counted?" ”

"There are a total of 30,000 defenders of Linjin Pass, plus the defenders of Shaoliang and Yin Jin and the 3,000 guards we brought, a total of more than 43,000 people, the number of participants in this battle is no less than 40,000, more than 11,000 people were killed, and no less than 7,000 people were seriously wounded, and now there are only 20,000 people who can fight. Most of the people in the city were dispersed before the war, and the loss of the city was not broken, but many of the people's food stocks were used as military rations. ”

Ni Tao stood aside and whispered a report on the post-war situation.

Picking up the water glass on the side, Wu Ming gently took a sip of the water that had already cooled down, stretched out his hand and pointed to a seat next to him, and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

"Did you say that you can collect the food of the people in the city for military use in times of war?"

"No," Ni Tao frowned slightly, and the next moment he seemed to understand what Wu Ming wanted to ask: "These grains are all voluntarily donated by the people in the city, and we don't take the initiative to collect them." ”

"Well, that's very good." Wu Ming nodded, but after the words fell, he continued: "However, since the war, the people have suffered the most, and they have also made the greatest contribution, even if they voluntarily send the things of the people, we must return them." ”

"Yes......"

Ni Tao bowed slightly, but the slightest hesitation in his movements still couldn't escape Wu Ming's eyes.

"What, there are difficulties in the army?"

"Don't hide it from the general, in recent years, General Pang has fought everywhere in the south and the north, although his military achievements are outstanding, but he has consumed the country's grain reserves, if it is not for the urgency of military food, we will not accept the people's grain!"

The war of this era is not a later generation, and it takes three months for the military order to go out to the flag of sacrifice, and then the army to go to the border of another country.

A war ranges from 30,000 to 100,000 or hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and the amount of grain and grass needed by so many soldiers is definitely a very considerable number.

Once a military order is issued, all parts of the country are conscripted to pay for food, and the people in the places where the army passes along the way are all regarded as strong men to transport grain and grass.

"I know," Wu Ming let out a light sigh, now it seems that a victory is far from representing anything, and there are still many things that need to be done in the Wei State at the moment, "I don't blame you for this matter, I will personally discuss with the king when I return to Daliang tomorrow." You first go and tell the soldiers to have a good rest tonight, and help the people tidy up their homes early tomorrow morning, and arrange scouts during the period. ”

"Yes."

……

Daliang, this is a domineering capital that has been newly built for less than ten years, on the towering city wall, King Wei Hui is wearing a battle robe, and one hand is pressed to the crotch on the sword at his waist to inspect the city head.

Under the flying golden sky, the civil and military officials are all resigned.

After walking past the warriors who stood as straight as a stake on the edge of the city wall, and then turned a big bend to the right and climbed to a higher level again, King Wei Hui looked up at the western sky, "How is the battle situation ahead?!" ”

In a word, the civil and military officials behind him were all clever, but there was no doubt that no one answered at this moment.

"The widow asked you how the battle in Hexi was?" King Wei Hui turned around abruptly and raised his voice to roar at the ministers.

A shrunk of cringe was presented among the ministers, and these nobles who could not be blown by the wind and rained on weekdays were all like this when the national disaster was at hand.

"Humph!" King Wei Hui couldn't help but snort and turned around.

At this time, a person walked out with his fists clenched, but he didn't even dare to raise his head, and said in a trembling voice: "If you go back to the king, there is news at noon, saying that the Qin army is attacking my Linjin Pass in turns, and the offensive is fierce, and my soldiers defending the city are desperately resisting, but the situation is not ...... Not optimistic! ”

"Not optimistic, not optimistic...... What about Wu Ming, where did he go, he kept saying that Sun Bin was just a child, and he couldn't win a child's play? ”

"Minister, I heard that Wu Xianfeng didn't have many plans, but just guarded the city according to the intention of the original guard Zhang Meng."

"Waste, a bunch of waste ......"

"Yes, yes, the matter has come to this point, please calm your anger, don't be in a hurry." Under the anger of King Wei Hui, the ministers all knelt directly on the ground, and the obscene and prostrate body didn't even dare to make a sound.

The gust of wind was howling, and the Wei banner with red characters on a blue background emitted bursts of swishing sounds on the city's head, "Yingquliang, I, Wei Ying, and you, swear not to stand apart......"

King Hui looked up to the sky and roared, hysterical roar.

……

A mile outside the city, a fast horse galloped over, and in less than half an hour, the fast horse came from far and near, and soon arrived outside the Imperial City of Daliang.

"Pioneer General Wu Ming sent an urgent report and sent it to my king as soon as possible." The young general on horseback turned over and dismounted, galloped to the guards defending the city, and handed a bundle of bamboo slips to the guards.

King Wei Hui on the tower of the city gate witnessed all this, but the appearance of the young general who came to deliver the battle report was bloody and dirty, so that King Hui had no hope in his heart.

After a while, the guards rushed up to the city tower, and the ministers who were originally showing off their might hurriedly got out of the way one by one, kneeling in front of King Hui, and the guards presented the bamboo slips with both hands, "Your Excellency, the urgent report of the vanguard general." ”

Hearing this, King Wei Hui didn't even look back, "Read it out." ”

"God bless the Great Wei, in the first battle of Linjin Pass, my Great Wei warriors killed more than 84,000 enemies and won the heyday. Great Wei Pioneer, Wu Ming. ”
