When Ji Qingchen led the cavalry battalion back to Caozhou City, it was already the time of the hour, he asked Li Changzheng to inform Cheng Qianfan and Fang Wanqi and others of the results of the battle, and he returned to the plum garden and slept with his head covered, and only woke up in the afternoon of the next day, freshened up under the waiter of Mingyan, ate some noodles ordered by Mingyan himself, and returned to the front hall, and found that the generals had gathered at this time, and were talking about something excitedly. When they saw him, they immediately stood up and saluted, with a respectful tone and a humble attitude.

"Let's all sit down!" Ji Qingchen said lightly and returned to the main seat.

His gaze swept to Bai Xiangcheng, Bai Yang and Yuwen Injury, and found that Bai Yang and Yuwen were all injured, but looking at the two of them talking and laughing, it was estimated that the injuries were not serious, so he said, "When did you come back?" ”

"The city that returns in the morning." Bai Xiangcheng said.

Although they had experienced a brutal battle, they had only slept for a while and were refreshed after returning, which was the result of the victory.

"Let's talk about the results of this battle!" Ji Qingchen said. As soon as he thought of this, he had a headache, because he could faintly feel that this battle with Beirong would definitely be like the last ambush battle, and there would be a situation where one thousand enemies were destroyed and eight hundred were lost.

Sure enough, when Cheng Qianfan reported the number of enemies destroyed and his own losses, his guess was confirmed.

"Your Highness, this time we killed 38,000 Beirong cavalry, and our losses were 13,000 killed and 6,000 disabled among the 40,000 cavalry of the Longxiang Army, and 7,000 killed and 2,000 disabled in the Black Eagle Cavalry, a total of 27,000 people can no longer participate in the battle." Cheng Qianfan said.

However, compared with the individual superiority of the Dayan cavalry and the Beirong cavalry, such casualties were still earned. After all, theoretically, the casualty ratio of the Great Yan cavalry and the Beirong cavalry is two to one, that is, two Great Yan cavalry can exchange the life of one Beirong cavalry. This is also the reason why when the 200,000 Beirong cavalry broke through the Yanmen Pass and went south, even if Dayan still had 200,000 troops to be able to defend Caozhou City, most of the people in the imperial court did not believe that they could defend Caozhou City.

"Fallen soldiers, hurry up and send the money back!" Ji Qingchen said in a low voice, "Only the disabled will be treated with great effort, and they must not be neglected." ”

"The last general understands!" Cheng Qianfan commanded.

He was the deputy head of the camp, so Ji Qingchen's order was naturally given to him.

"Let General Xu be responsible for this matter!" Ji Qingchen thought for a while and said to Xu Zizhang, then moved his gaze to Cheng Qianfan and said, "General Cheng, you and General Fang are in charge of the defense of Caozhou City. ”

"No!" Cheng Qianfan, Fang Wanqi and Xu Zizhang received the order.

Because these two ambushes against Beirong have achieved great victories, this makes Ji Qingchen's position in the camp of Beiliao have been firmly established, and the generals are now looking at him.

"And Your Highness, in this battle of Qingfeng Canyon, we captured 10,000 war horses and 3,000 prisoners, I don't know what to do with Lu Dao." Cheng Qianfan continued to report.

"This time, the cavalry of the Longxiang Army in the first battle of Qingfeng Canyon suffered too heavy losses, so give them these ten thousand war horses." Ji Qingchen said, "Bai Yang, Yuwen injury, this king gives you the power to recruit troops in the city by yourself, quickly form a cavalry, and fill the shortage of cavalry in the Longxiang army, but don't let this king down!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Bai Yang and Yu Wenshu said excitedly, as a general, what could make them happier than forming a cavalry by themselves?

"As for the money for forming cavalry, I can only give you 50,000 yuan this time, and if there is no more, you can do your best!" Ji Qingchen continued, the casualties of the soldiers in World War I this time were too heavy, half of the 300,000 yuan of money was allocated as a pension, and the rest had to improve the food of the army, and they couldn't eat rice or noodles, and there were not many people who could hurt Baiyang and Yuwen.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, as long as you have a war horse, armor and a war knife, Poplar will be able to form a fine cavalry in just two months, and you will not be disappointed by Your Highness." Poplar assured.

After a short period of training, although the reserve army with a number of 80,000 people is not as good as the infantry of the Longxiang Army and the Northern Liao Army, it is much better than the simple Qingzhuang, and 10,000 of the 80,000 people are selected.

That's why Poplar is so confident!

"In the battle of Qingfeng Canyon, the cavalry suffered heavy losses, if the reinforcements from King's Landing did not arrive a year ago, they might no longer have the ability to go out of the city to fight." Ji Qingchen sighed and said, "So in the future, the task of defending Caozhou City will fall into the hands of the foot soldiers, and this king hopes that you can work together to defend Caozhou City and wait for Dayan's most counterattack." ”

"No!" The generals commanded.

After arranging military affairs again, seeing that there were no more problems with everyone, Ji Qingchen asked everyone to leave.

At this time, he became an idler again, because the city defense was handed over to Cheng Qianfan and Fang Wanqi, the cavalry was handed over to Baiyang, Yuwen and Bai Xiangcheng, the wounded were handed over to Xu Zizhang, and the collected young Zhuang was handed over to Xiang Ziyu and Meng Li and Xu Dachun.

So when he has nothing to do these days, he usually practices or reads in the study, or rides to the cavalry camp to play polo with Bai Xiangcheng and them.

At noon that day, he had lunch and rested for a while.

So he rode to the cavalry camp east of the city, which was the camp of the Black Eagle Cavalry. Bai Xiangcheng and the Eight Tigers except Li Changzheng came out, because they knew that His Royal Highness Dao had come to play polo again. Just yesterday's polo match, they won the polo team formed by Ji Qingchen and the Xiaocai Battalion 28-13.

Bai Xiangcheng, Wang Yin, and Liu Qingqing are Ji Qingchen's henchmen, and they also treat each other as brothers in private, so when playing polo, they will not show mercy to their subordinates because of Ji Qingchen's identity, which makes Ji Qingchen and the polo team formed by Li Changzheng unable to play with these children of the family, so they will lose so badly.

"Your Highness, you want to play two more games today?" Bai Xiangcheng watched Ji Qingchen dismount and invited him to the big tent of the Chinese army, so he asked bluntly.

"There's a conspiracy?" Ji Qingchen looked at Bai Xiangcheng with malicious intent and asked.

"Uh- absolutely not, how could it be!" Bai Xiangcheng hurriedly waved his hand.

"Brother Xiang Cheng, usually this king asks you to play, today you take the initiative to invite this king, if there is no conspiracy, do you think I believe it?" Ji Qingchen said with a smile.

"Uh-" Bai Xiangcheng's conspiracy was a little embarrassed to be exposed, so he said without suspicion of kindness, "This, in fact, the generals heard that His Royal Highness likes to play polo, and we have been playing polo with Xiangcheng in our camp for the past few days. ”

"What else?" Ji Qingchen asked with a smile.

"No—" Bai Xiangcheng replied earnestly.

"Hehe-" Ji Qingchen also smiled, "How much money did they pay?" ”

"How does this Highness know about the Dao?" Wang Yin on the side blurted out in surprise.

"If they don't bet and don't give you Black Hawk riding benefits, will you give up training to play polo with this king?" Ji Qingchen said with a smile.

In the past few days, the training of the Black Eagle Rider has not fallen, except for the noon break when Bai Xiangcheng and his party accompanied Ji Qingchen to play a game of polo, the rest of the time Ji Qingchen was playing with the people in the Xiao Riding Camp, and the eight hundred soldiers in the Xiao Riding Camp are the same children of the same family, and the relationship with Ji Qingchen is also very close, there is no suspicion that he will release the water because he is the boss, but it makes Ji Qingchen have a lot of fun.

"This is Miss Wei Ran's proposal, Miss Wei Ran heard that His Highness always lost when he played polo with us, and she lost very badly, so she made a bet for us that as long as we won His Highness's next ball, she would give the Black Hawk Rider 10,000 copper coins. Your Highness, you know that the food from the imperial court has been delivered, but the money has not yet arrived, and our Black Eagle Rider is also short of money, just-" Bai Xiangcheng explained, and the meaning of wanting to abuse Ji Qingchen again in polo to make money was obvious.

"This-" After Bai Xiangcheng's explanation, even Ji Qingchen was speechless, he felt that he didn't have a bad relationship with Wei Ran, how could this sister be like this? However, seeing Bai Xiangcheng and Wang Yin, Liu Qingqing and the others looking expectant, he was even more depressed, he felt that he should be angry today, so that this group of bastards who forgot their righteousness knew how powerful they were, so he said to Li Changzheng, "You go and pick a few players now, and then we will compete with the Black Eagle Cavalry Camp later." Tell them that if they lose again this time, they will receive twenty sticks for each of them when they go back, and if they win, the king will give them two days off. ”

For the group of disciples of the Xiaoqi battalion, the incentive of silver money is of little significance, and everyone is not short of that money, so Ji Qingchen uses the holiday as bait.

"No!" Li Changzheng immediately ordered, but cold sweat still oozed from his face, and he sighed in his heart, "This time it is estimated that I will be beaten by another twenty military sticks." "Because compared with Bai Xiangcheng and Wang Yin, Liu Qingqing and others, even with Ji Qingchen and Li Changzheng, there is still a gap in the strength of the two sides, plus Bai Xiangcheng and Wang Yin and others are not waterproof, and they play really, which makes Ji Qingchen and Li Changzheng lose their temper.

"Uh-" After listening to Ji Qingchen's order, Liu Qingqing asked very straightforwardly, "Brother Jiu really wants to compare?" ”

"Believe it or not, this king will beat you with twenty sticks now?" Ji Qingchen aired. He heard the meaning of Liu Qingqing's words, Liu Qingqing meant to say that he lost so badly every time, did he have to lose in front of his sister again today?

"The last general will not dare!" Liu Qingqing immediately stood up straight and replied.

By using iron-fisted means to recover the military power of the Northern Liao army, and through two ambush battles, the crisis in Caozhou City was relieved, which made Ji Qingchen bigger and taller in the hearts of Baixiang City and Jiuhu than before. So now, in addition to joking with Ji Qingchen and occasionally making trouble, if there is a moment when they need to work for Ji Qingchen, they will not be ambiguous at all.

And this is also the reason why Ji Qingchen allowed the Black Eagle Rider to raise his own money to improve everyone's food and equipment. Because he was not afraid that the Black Eagle Rider would betray him, he was not afraid that White Necklace and the Eight Tigers would betray him.

……

Caozhou City, because there was no siege by the Beirong army, Ji Qingchen and the generals lived a very comfortable life. But the situation was different in the Beirong camp outside the city. Since Meng Buge in Qingfeng Canyon returned to the camp after being vomited blood by Ji Qingchen, it took a full eight days to recuperate. But as soon as he heard that this defeat had lost nearly 40,000 horses, Meng Buge couldn't bear it at once, and coupled with the cold snap of winter, he fell ill again.

Fortunately, Hakesu also has a place in the Beirong royal court, and he is deeply strategic, plus he has the Zhenghuang Banner of the Zhengbai Banner to rely on, which forced to suppress the dissatisfaction of the banners in the camp, so that he did not let the banners take the lead in attacking Caozhou City. Otherwise, with the arrogance of the generals of Beirong, they suffered losses in Qingfeng Canyon, how could they endure this breath?

But this is still second, the main thing is this defeat, the army lost nearly 40,000 people, plus the 20,000 cavalry that was annihilated by the ambush last time, and the siege lost men and horses, and the army lost 80,000 generals at this time.

That's what Haksu cares about the most.

Because it's about whether their brothers can still have a chance to lead this army for revenge.

Moreover, Haksu is also very conceited, he thinks that when he encounters an opponent like Ji Qingchen, he may not have a third person in Beirong except for his brother who can fight with Ji Qingchen and now draw so far. So he didn't want the military power of this army to be obtained by someone among his brothers, and then he was completely annihilated by Ji Qingchen because of improper command.

It was because Meng Buge was sick that Beirong was sick, and Beirong was not very united, coupled with Hakesu's timidity, that Beirong's offensive slowed down and gave Caozhou City a chance to rest.
