Chapter 554: Jingzhou is difficult to cross the river
That night, King Li ordered people to collect the corpses on the battlefield, and hung the corpses of Li Yuanba and Ju Wuba on a three-zhang high shelf, facing the direction of Xinye. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Your Majesty, after verification, the soldiers and horses in this campaign have suffered serious losses, of which our army has invested a total of 190,000 horses, about 40,000 people were killed in this battle, and as many as 30,000 people were seriously injured and could not continue to fight."
King Li snorted, and his face sank like water: "Let's deal with it according to the old rules, first list the personnel according to the list, and then submit the names and surnames of the corresponding personnel to the Ministry of War for review, and finally submit it to the prime minister to deal with the pension." ”
Xiahoudun glanced at Cao Cao, strode forward and said: "Tie Xiaowei destroyed more than 80 catapults, the well was the most seriously damaged, most of them were destroyed by the bed crossbow, and they could no longer be put into a large-scale battle. ”
King Li nodded and said: "Take your time, the siege equipment will be controlled first, if it can be disassembled from the unusable equipment, it is best to assemble it, if not, it will be summarized first, and transported back to Wancheng in an ox cart, I will send craftsmen to check." ”
This is also no way, the assembly of equipment such as the well is very complicated, and some small spare parts are also very complicated to make.
Li Wang's voice was low, knocking on the table and said: "I rarely admire a person, General Dian is one of them, I used to have frequent dealings with him, but he deliberately avoided talking about business, his loyalty and virtue are my generation model, there are great sages on the third floor of Lingxiao Pavilion, there are great Confucians, there are wise and grateful Confucians, so the spiritual seat of General Dian is set on the third floor of Lingxiao Pavilion. ”
Many soldiers lowered their heads, most of the people present were second servants, and King Li, who switched to the camp, no matter what the reason was, was a little unhappy after all, but King Li didn't mean anything else when he said this, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
However, Dian Wei had a friendship with half of the soldiers present, but he suddenly died on the battlefield, which is really suffocating.
"The criminal minister Cao Cao, who was ineffective in supervising the war, did not clear the enemy's situation, and rashly launched a siege war, resulting in the defeat of this battle, please punish Your Majesty heavily."
Cao Cao bowed down, his face was a little sallow, although he would not blame himself, but the fact was indeed his own fault, it was undeniable.
King Li stopped and said: "Demotion and dispose of it, I won't stay here for too long, Xinye will leave when he takes it off, in fact, in the end, you can't be blamed for this battle, it could have been avoided, hey......"
Cao Cao was neither humble nor arrogant: "Please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”
King Li didn't intend to hide it from them, and said loudly: "Half a year ago, Sun Ce told me that there was a secret line that had successfully entered Li Shimin's interior, but unfortunately he couldn't rescue Jiangdong's brothers in time, but because of this, news spread that three thousand strangers suddenly lost their traces......"
After repeating those words, Li Wangcai sighed: "If I directly order the army to stop the battle, I can avoid the loss of soldiers, but in order to lead to this group of disasters, I have to do it, it is my fault." ”
Everyone looked at each other, a little unable to guess the king's heart, how good is this.
Cao Cao hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty why should you blame yourself, Li Shimin has the intention to stop His Majesty's iron horse, Xuzhou is the same, this Jingzhou is the same, he is afraid, he is afraid, so he will not hesitate to order his henchmen to go north, even if Your Majesty holds down the army this time, but next time it will be calculated by the enemy, so Your Majesty's move is the will of heaven and a holy act......
"Your Majesty Shengming ......"
It is good for someone to take the lead, and those who can't guess King Li's intentions have fallen down one after another, and the mountain shouts long live......
King Li waved his hand and said: "Okay, nine times out of ten, in exchange for the last right, as long as the ending is right, it is successful, even if it hurts, what if you fall down and get up, I have confidence, and you Aiqing should also have confidence." ”
Cao Cao's heart moved, and King Li seemed to have something to say.
King Li didn't give anyone else a chance to pat themselves on the back, and continued: "Where is Bai Qi, come to the hall." ”
Bai Qi's face did not change, and he walked up with sonorous steps, and then bowed down on one knee: "The end will be." ”
King Li nodded and said, "Those who commit Dahua Tianwei will be punished!" I ordered you to be the general of the unified army, and you were directly transferred to serve under Zhao Zilong, but Zhao Zilong needs to be in the light, and you need to be in the dark. ”
Bai Qi looked up in surprise, he was not stupid, what King Li was referring to was definitely not Jingzhou... Could it be Yangzhou?
King Li continued: "Zhao Yun will lead the army to start a war of annihilation against Yuan Shu as required, you immediately go to the garrison of Anfengjin, and show your ruthlessness when necessary, I have ordered Jia Xu to pass, and he will cooperate with you." ”
Bai Qi hugged his fists and said: "The last general understands." ”
He still didn't understand that King Li was going to kill Yuan Shu and leave no room for life.
Since the last time King Li supported Xuzhou, all decisions seem to have been passed on by Yuan Shu, and it is not difficult to imagine that the enemy's dark line is about to surface, so this time in order to avoid him, he chose to pass on the confession alone, and the person who is far away in the Yanzhou garrison should also be awarded.
After Bai Qi left, King Li continued: "Although Cao Mengde is guilty, he can't cut off an arm in front of the two armies, so you continue to serve as the commander of the three armies, and when the merits and demerits are offset, you will be reinstated." ”
Cao Cao didn't feel anything, but King Li found a step for himself, so he had to go down.
"The Sinner's Decree Thanksgiving ......"
King Li waved his hand and said: "This time Liu Biao came prepared, ambushed the army, and his style of acting is quite the shadow of Li Shimin, so we must take a long-term view, Liu Biao is not the ultimate goal, Li Shimin is, I have a plan, you Aiqing is optimistic about it." ”
"Your Majesty, please."
Nodding his head and saying: "Now the turmoil of the three thousand alien races has passed, but the generals can't hold their arms and watch, this time I ordered you, each of you to lead three thousand men and horses, to attack the township pavilions under the jurisdiction of the counties and counties of Jingzhou, and you should not fight with the main force of the enemy army where you pass, and you should avoid sharp and weak attacks." ”
Ran Min frowned and said: "It's not fun to kill like this, there can be a few soldiers and horses in the Xiangting, besides, doesn't Your Majesty mean that the enemy army will come to help, and I will not be able to escape?" ”
King Li didn't mind, and said with a smile: "The township pavilion is the foundation of a county, and the leading troops are wandering around, and if you don't take down a place, you will post a list of people, and there are more than ten township pavilions in a county, if you can get all of them in your pocket, are you afraid that the pavilion chief and the township chief will not surrender the city?" ”
Everyone suddenly realized, but Xun You suddenly asked: "Your Majesty's intentions are profound, but my army is scattered, and it is difficult to attack the county rule, so isn't it ......?"
Li Wang explained carefully: "I have said a long time ago, the vision needs to be long-term, Liu Biao is just a lingering breath, it is not difficult to take Jingzhou, the difficult thing is how to cross the Yangtze River and open up the road to conquer Li Shimin." (To be continued.) )
