"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road."

In his previous life, of course, Meng Li couldn't understand that this gap was compared to the life of heaven and earth; In this life, he is the emperor of the Han Kingdom, and he will not be rewarded with how much he has embezzled, and how many civilians have starved to death. And he, because of the continuous war, has no time to pay attention to these national affairs and people's livelihood issues; Now, he finally understood the disparity in the quality of life from the 'loyalty' of these vassals.

Just such a representative figure of the subordinates donated more than 100,000 quintals of military rations, and even more silver, more than 4 million. Although the grain and grass are not enough to make up for the consumption of his army, there are so many mountains of silver that are piled up. It is enough for every soldier to go out on the expedition is a double salary, and the treasury can still collect a lot, which is really rich and flowing!

"Okay, well, all of you love my Han so much, so Han will definitely not treat any of his people badly~!"

Seeing the subordinates below who were staring at him one by one, he didn't have time to think of a 'proper' return gift for them one by one, but his words ensured that their interests would not be in vain. Therefore, the joy of the subordinates below also jumped on their faces.

"We follow His Majesty, and we have no regrets in death~!"

"Our heart to serve the country is beyond measure~!"

……

After hearing Meng Li's assurance, one by one the subordinates bragged even more shamelessly about their ambition to serve the country. But Meng Li just wanted them to set an example, so he didn't dislike it, and tried his best to make a gentleman and a minister.

An unobstructed 'post-war summary meeting' that tested each other's bottom line and exchanged benefits came to an end in a group of friendly exchanges. Of course, if you have talked about it and have a good time, the next action is naturally to go to the banquet. It's another hello and my good feast, in which the staggered scenes and the amusement among the rich are inseparable......

……

At noon on the second day, everyone relieved their spirits from yesterday's indulgence, and gathered in the hall of the Taishou Mansion one by one to talk about the next important things to march.

This time, the seats are divided according to everyone's status. The first place on the right is the responsibility of the acting commander of the Han army, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan; The first place on the left is naturally Guo Jia, who is running around with Meng Li and is now back; Then, Yang Ye, Yang Yanzhao, Yang Yanding, Tang Hao and others below naturally sat down left and right one by one; Behind Meng Li, there were two big bodyguards who seemed to win gold medals, Dian Wei and Xu Chu are also~

As soon as the salute ended, Meng Li waved his hand impatiently, and everyone in the hall was seated, ready for the next conversation.

"I've read yesterday's battle report. I don't know what Wen Yuan thinks, how much combat power does the army have left now~? ”

The army naturally refers to the remaining more than 60,000 people under Zhang Liao's command. The 20,000 men under his command, even if they came slowly, would be too tired to fight hard again.

"The soldiers under the command of the last general are now full of energy, although the cavalry is exhausted in the annihilation battle against the main army of the former Qin a few days ago. But a few days of recovery is enough, we are fully sure that we will quickly march under Jincheng and join forces with General Chen Qingzhi to take the capital of the enemy country~! ”

Hearing Meng Li's question, Zhang Liao first got up and saluted respectfully, and then said confidently to Meng Li. To tell the truth, except for the cavalry in the annihilation battle against the main force of the former Qin a few days ago, the rest of the army was purely full of soy sauce in several tiger attacks or defenses.

Now, except for the cavalry, which is still a little unable to slow down its strength, the rest of the 40,000 troops are naturally in a state of real value. In the same way, after a few days of rest, the cavalry also recovered a little stronger. The next step must be an offensive and defensive battle, so the cavalry has nothing to contribute, and he is naturally so confident. The cavalry under his command is strong, and the foot soldiers are not weak!

"Well, if there is no big problem with the combat power, then tomorrow Wenyuan will order 30,000 troops to go out first. Although Ziyun has a lot of talents, the lack of soldiers and horses, coupled with the lack of logistics, is a big problem. ”

Thinking about it this way, it is true that the combat effectiveness of Zhang Liao's department is almost at full value. Therefore, he unceremoniously and directly ordered Zhang Liao to continue to attack Jincheng, although Chen Qingzhi's troops under Jincheng certainly had the advantage of the situation, but if Qianqin was supplemented by these 50,000 troops, would he try to go out of the city and fight Chen Qingzhi's troops to the death?

At that time, even if Chen Qingzhi's department won, it must be a miserable victory, which is really a bit unworthy. Because Chen Qingzhi's subordinates are all elite troops of the Han army. When I die, I feel a little heartache~

"Oh~!"

After Zhang Liao heard it, he did not hesitate and answered directly. You must know that although the combat power of the soldiers and horses under his command is sufficient, but he is not~!

In the past ten days, in the early stage, he had to think hard about how to 'pretend' to confuse the direction of the former Qin army, which was really a brain-draining job, and the exhaustion was not much less than a big battle for their generals.

In the middle period, when the Qin army discovered their reality and attacked with all its might. Not only did he have to dispatch his soldiers and horses to defend this simple adobe city, but he also had to personally lead the wolf cavalry to cut the assault of the banner and break the posture of the former Qin's strong attack. Among them, not only did the generals kill the soldiers in the assault to make the body tired, but also bear the strong mental pressure of the Han army's glory and disgrace.

In the later period, after the former Qin army lost its courage, he still had to pursue the perfect end of the battle with all his might. Therefore, he not only had to consider when the Former Qin army would retreat, but also had to take the lead in dragging down the retreat rhythm of the Former Qin army. In the end, in the battle of Shiqiao, he led the wolf cavalry that had already fought a bloody battle a few days ago to block the final return of the former Qin 6 or 70,000 troops. The battle scene is so tragic that you can just look at the casualties of the wolf cavalry, and you can't say anything~

After the battle, it's not like he's without anything. He also had to send soldiers and horses to clean up the corpses of the enemy, to appease the feelings of the people in the city of Jinmen, and most importantly, to escort the prisoners, all of which required his discretion and personal experience, and this exhaustion was no less than a tragic battle for a man who was only good at fighting on the battlefield.

After more than ten days like this, he slept relatively comfortably last night, but the fatigue of more than ten days can be relieved by a day's rest. However, he is a soldier, a soldier who longs for supreme honor, and he can't even eat this bit of exhaustion, how can he hope for the glory at the pinnacle?

Therefore, he happily agreed without hesitation. Since the whole situation is alive because of my own war, then let me Zhang Wenyuan come to clean up the situation for the last time~

"Okay, Wenyuan, after this battle, I will personally feast you for three days and three nights~!"

Seeing that Zhang Liao's still bloodshot eyes did not show the slightest hesitation, Meng Li immediately shouted for his perseverance. Because, he is not a fool, and he can also see Zhang Liao's fatigue in his heart. But at present, there is really no capable and qualified coach in his hands to be his vanguard, so he can only bother Zhang Liao a little more.

"Xie Majesty xià~"

Seeing the sincerity in Meng Li's eyes and the look of cherishing talents, Zhang Liao suddenly had a sense of ambition and pride to die as a confidant.

"Then, the next work in the city will be handed over to Fengxiao, hurry up and arrange a qiē, and then I will personally lead the army under the golden city~!"

There is still a lot of work to be arranged in the city, and there are many people in the army who need to rest, which takes time, so Meng Li did not send Jincheng at the first time.

"Oh~!"

……

The war machine of the Han Dynasty began to rotate desperately again, and this time, their sacrifice was the former Qin Kingdom that had blocked them for 600 years! (To be continued.) )
