At this time, the generals had already counted the casualties of this battle.

Chu He first introduced Long Ji to everyone, and Jiang Wei and the others knew that Chang Dingjun was blessed by the seven-rank god of war, so it was needless to say that they were surprised and shocked.

Then Chu He asked in a deep voice: "General Jiang, the Yellow Turban Army is coming, what is the casualty situation of our soldiers in Fenglai and Datong counties?"

The Changding Army implements the first military politics and policy, Jiang Wei, the chief general, also serves as the county leader of Fenglai County, Chu Wen, the chief official of Fenglai County, personally went to the Southern Barbarian Army to ask for help, and everything in the city is handed over to Jiang Wei to be responsible, and Jiang Wei naturally knows most about these things.

Hearing Chu He's question, Jiang Wei's face couldn't help but darken, and he said in a deep voice: "This time the Yellow Turban Army suddenly attacked, although we have been prepared for a long time, the casualties are still heavy!"

Don't look at Chu He, as soon as he came back, he led the army to easily defeat the Yellow Turban Army's hundreds of thousands of troops, but there are many reasons for this.

The strength of the Yellow Turban Army should not be underestimated, in addition to the commander of the Mountain Tiger, there are more than a dozen fourth-grade martial arts, hundreds of third-grade blood condensation martial artists, and there are also a large number of Fang Shi.

Qianyuanwei made many sorties, which consumed a lot of the strength of the Yellow Turban Army, and the Eight Ox Armor-Breaking Crossbow also showed great power, shooting and killing many of the main generals of the Yellow Turban Army, plus the Yellow Turban Army took turns to attack the city, and it was relatively tired.

It can be said that the combat power of the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army on the Chu River is less than fifty percent of what it was in its heyday, otherwise the Chu River would not be able to win so easily.

Even if the Changding Army had been prepared for a long time and implemented the strategy of clearing the field and fortifying the walls, and concentrated the people's rice and grain in the two cities and Changding Township in advance, the losses were still quite heavy in the face of the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army.

Jiang Wei paused for a moment, and continued in a heavy voice: "Our Changding army has killed more than 1,200 people, more than 30 Shi Chang have died, 9 Bai Chang, and two battalion commanders have died. In addition, more than 1,900 people were seriously wounded, 600 were incapacitated, and 600 were unable to return to the army. ”

Among them, 180 people were killed and 69 were injured in the Qianyuan camp, basically all of them were lightly injured. More than 800 people died in the rock guard, more than 300 people lost their combat effectiveness, 300 people died in Aoki Wei, and 300 people lost their combat effectiveness. ”

The more Chu He listened, the more gloomy his face became, but he couldn't imagine that the casualties of the Changding army were so serious.

In this battle, more than 1,800 people were lost, and the Standing Army was almost reduced by 10 to 5!

Especially the Panshi Guard, led by Jiang Wei, so the people stationed in Fenglai County are basically the people of the Rock Guard, the 5,000-person Panshi Battalion has lost more than 1,100 in battle, and the battle damage has exceeded two!

Jiang Wei followed and said: "The 6,000 troops formed by Datong County have suffered 40% casualties, more than 2,000 soldiers have died in battle, and the people of Shuangfeng Mountain have also killed and injured more than 200 people in Datong County. In addition, the disciples of the Qinzhou Academy led by Senior Qin also had more than two hundred dead and wounded!"

Jiang Wei took a deep breath: "The casualties such as Minzhuang are even more serious, although there are no specific statistics, but they are definitely more than 10,000!"

Chu He's cheeks twitched suddenly, his face was already gloomy and about to drip water, and with a bang, he directly slapped the yellow sandalwood desk into powder!

Not counting the seriously injured, the number of deaths alone reached 15,000, which is an extremely terrifying number for Datong and Fenglai counties, which only have 300,000 people and all the soldiers add up to more than 20,000, and it is no wonder that Chu He can't hold it!

Seeing Chu He's furiousness, everyone was in a pang in their hearts, and they were silent and didn't dare to speak out.

It took a long time for Chu He to calm down a little, took a deep breath, and asked, "How much is the loss of that material?"

Jiang Wei smiled bitterly: "The specific data has not been counted yet, but the consumption of food alone is 200,000 stones, and the losses of arrows and armor are also very large, especially arrows, which have fought many times with the Yellow Turban Army and have been collected by the Yellow Turban Army, and the consumption of arrows has exceeded 30,000." ”

He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The most troublesome thing is that the fields have been destroyed a lot by the Yellow Turban Army, especially in Fenglai County, it is estimated that most of the rice cannot be harvested, and the spring ploughing has passed, and it is impossible to replant. ”

Although the Chu River has already planted sweet potatoes, the problem is to cultivate enough seeds for sweet potatoes, I am afraid that it will take a year, if the summer harvest grain is only 30%, it will definitely not be enough for the two counties to consume.

Chu He groaned for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Ignore the loss of materials for the time being, and then I will increase trade with the Southern Barbarian Army and get enough rice and grain from them." ”

"The casualty compensation of the Standing Army shall be carried out at twice the usual rate, and that of the Datong Army, Shuangfeng Mountain, and Qinzhou Academy shall be implemented in accordance with the regulations of the Standing Army. ”

"The people who participated in the defense of the people, the deceased paid a pension of 100 taels of silver, plus 50 stone of rice grain, the land under his name, exempted from taxes for ten years, and the young and strong family members could be recruited into the army first. ”

"If the seriously injured are strong, the bereavement pension will be halved, and the treatment expenses will be borne by the Standing Army, and those who are willing to join the army can be directly included in the Standing Army. For the people affected by the war, the dead were given ten taels of silver, ten stones of rice grain, and the fields were exempted from taxes for five years. ”

Chu He paused for a moment, and then continued: "Datong and Fenglai counties are exempt from taxes for three years. ”

After listening to the content of Chu He's bereavement proposal, everyone also gasped.

The Standing Army fought bravely, and it was said that the double pension was in the past, and the Datong Army, Shuangfeng Mountain, etc., obeyed the dispatch of the Standing Army, and coordinated to resist the Standing Army, and the pension was to be issued.

But according to the regulations of the Standing Army, it will surprise everyone.

You must know that the treatment of the Changding army is extremely high, and the casualty compensation is far beyond the regulations of the Shu army.

In terms of the army, there are about 10,000 casualties, and it is really according to what Chu He said that the pension needs at least one million taels of silver, plus 500,000 stone rice grain, and the exempted taxes are not counted.

In addition, the pensions of those who were strong and the civilians who died in the war also exceeded 300,000 taels of silver and 100,000 stones of rice.

Don't look at Chu He's now having a lot of rice, grain, money and silver, and trading with the Southern Barbarian Army also gets a lot of silver, but if it is really implemented according to such a standard, it can definitely empty Chu He's family fund.

As soon as the cannon sounded, there were 10,000 taels of gold, this sentence was not bad at all, in this big battle, I am afraid that the loss of the Changding army should be more than 8 million taels of silver!

Even if the family background of the four major families in Qinzhou City is combined, I am afraid that it can only be worthy of this battle.

Zhou Fang hesitated for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage to say: "Chu Shuai, isn't this standard a bit high, if it is really implemented like this, I am afraid that it will cost two million silver taels and hundreds of thousands of stone rice grains." In addition, the generals also need to be rewarded for their meritorious deeds, which is a large amount of consumption, I'm afraid it ......"

He didn't continue, but changed his words and said: "Our two counties of Datong and Fenglai have relatively low living standards, and even if the subordinates only implement the three-percent pension, it is enough to make the soldiers return to their hearts and be supported by the villagers." ”

This Zhou Fang was originally a petty official in Fenglai County.

Chu Wen took charge of Fenglai County, and promoted many officials from below, Zhou Fang himself was a Confucian student of Tibetan Essence and had a good management level, so he became the chief secretary of Fenglai County, and his status in Fenglai County was second only to Chu Wen, the county commander, and Jiang Wei, the county general.

During this time, he was conscientious and very popular with the people, and Zhou Fang, who assisted Chu Wen in taking charge of the daily affairs of Fenglai County, was also qualified to participate in this Fenglai County summit.

From his mouthful, he can calculate the approximate pension figure, and it can be seen that his level is quite good.

This suggestion was made more because he was afraid that Chu He would not know how huge the number of post-war pensions and meritorious service rewards would be, and if the announcement was issued, Chu He would not be able to come up with enough money, silver, rice and grain, which would damage Chu He's prestige.

Chu He waved his hand: "No, just follow this standard." ”

"When the money is spent, you can make it again, but if the people's hearts are lost, it will be irretrievable. As long as the soldiers can be returned to their hearts and supported by the people, no amount of money, silver, rice and grain will be worth it!"

He paused for a moment and said: "Although the casualties in this battle are heavy, it has also played the prestige of our Standing Army, and the reputation of our Standing Army, which can at least earn us five years of peace!"

No one will question Chu He's words, the 200,000 elites of the Yellow Turban Army were defeated by the Changding Army, and anyone who wants to fight the idea of the Changding Army must be doubled three times.

For the sake of just two counties, as well as the secret method of steelmaking hidden in Chu He's mind, at least more than 200,000 troops need to be dispatched, and it may not be successful, whether it is worth it.

What's more, in such a situation now, the only people who are qualified to fight the idea of the Standing Army are the Yellow Turban Army and the Southern Barbarian Army.

The Southern Barbarian Army did not attack with the Yellow Turban Army, so they knew their position, and the Yellow Turban Army was newly defeated and needed to face the attack of the Shu army, so it was doubtful whether it could mobilize more soldiers and horses to come.

Chu He suddenly asked again: "General Jiang, this time the Yellow Turban Army is attacking, have Huang Zhong's predecessors and Gan Ning's predecessors ever made a move?"

The reason why Chu He left Tianshui County and went to Yizhou with confidence was that he felt that the two counties were guarded by two gods of war, and he was unharmed, but he didn't expect that the Yellow Turban Army would still come, and it would bring such heavy losses to the two counties.

Jiang Wei shook his head: "The two God of War seniors didn't make a move. ”

"Before the Yellow Turban Army attacked, Gan Ning's predecessor found the last general and told him that there was an agreement with the strong men of the Yellow Turban Army and the Southern Barbarian Army, and within five years, in Tianshui County, he was not allowed to attack the strong men of the sixth grade. And the Yellow Turban Army, the Southern Barbarian Army, the sixth-rank and seventh-rank powerhouses will not invade the land of Tianshui County. ”

He paused for a moment, his gaze couldn't help but turn to Long Ji, who was wearing a thick cloak in broad daylight, and continued: "But now that we have the protection of the Dragon and God of War seniors, even if Gan Ning and Huang Zhong's predecessors don't make a move, it can greatly enhance the strength of our Changding Army. ”

Jiang Wei mentioned Long Ji, but Long Ji didn't react at all, just like wood.

Chu He nodded: "Not bad." The addition of General Long will give our Changding Army wings like a tiger! This commander plans to remove some of the elites from the three guards of Qianyuan, Aoki, and Panshi after the battle, and then recruit troops from the young and strong to form the Blood Dragon Guard, which will be commanded by General Long!"

His voice suddenly sharpened: "However, before that, we have to teach the Yellow Turban Army a painful lesson!"

"The commander will immediately notify Datong and Changding, mobilize troops and horses to come, General Jiang, General Chu, you can't relax, wait for the soldiers to complete the rest, immediately gather the generals, listen to the commander's orders, and send troops to counterattack the Yellow Turban Army!"

Jiang Wei and the others all had a straight face, and they all got up and arched their hands and said, "The last general will obey the order!"

After the Changding army of Fenglai County rested for two days, the soldiers and horses of Datong and Changding also arrived in Fenglai City at the same time.

Although the casualties were not light, the two armies had already replenished many young men from the people's strong army, and the number of them was one or two percent more than before.

The Changding Army and the Datong Army united, in addition to the necessary left-behind soldiers and horses and the soldiers and generals who were seriously injured and could not be seriously injured, a total of more than 14,000 combat forces, all concentrated in Fenglai County.

The Yellow Turban Army was defeated by the army led by Chu He, with tens of thousands of casualties, and more than 20,000 of them escaped and could not be recovered, plus the damage from the previous siege, the 150,000 army was actually only 60,000 or 70,000.

However, the 50,000 Yellow Turban Army that besieged Datong and Changding first did not convert much, plus the rout troops that were collected back, there were also 1120,000 men and horses, stationed in Shuangma County, and were ready to fight.

In the battle of Fenglai City, the Yellow Turban Army had been killed by the Changding Army, and many generals, including the Mountain Tigers, had fallen to the extreme, and although the number of people still had an absolute advantage, they did not dare to take the initiative to attack.

Unlike the thermal weapons wars of later generations, the death rate of generals in these three countries was far higher than that of ordinary generals.

In a world that emphasizes bravery, if generals dare not go to the battlefield in person, how to inspire soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy?

In such a mode of war, victory can certainly be pursued with victory, but once defeated, many generals will be killed, and the soldiers will lack the backbone, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Even though the Yellow Turban Army still has 1120,000 soldiers and horses, few of the whole army have confidence in winning the next battle, and many generals are even secretly discussing the matter of withdrawing troops, but no one dares to take the initiative for fear of responsibility.

The Yellow Turban Army under his command is even more disheartened, even if the main general tries his best to restrain him, there are still many deserters every day, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and in a few days, there are four or five thousand soldiers who have lost their whereabouts inexplicably.

The Southern Barbarian Army lived in Qinzhou City, and they worked hard to speed up the formation of steel troops, and melted the steel ingots bought at a high price from Chu He to make them suitable for the beast cavalry.

The nearby states and counties were no longer able to resist the advance of the Southern Barbarian Army and the Yellow Turban Army, and after fighting continuously for a year, the Southern Barbarian Army also needed a period of rest.

Although Meng Shu did not send troops to attack the Changding army, nor did he promise Chu Wen to send troops to support the Changding army, he just entertained Chu Wen Haosheng, but he kept an eye on the situation on the battlefield in Tianshui County.

This god of war in southern Xinjiang, his strength is extremely terrifying, and he is eight feet tall as rumored, with an extremely thick skeleton, like a wild giant, with a tiger's nose and a lion's mouth, eagle eyes and thick eyebrows, and the tips of his hair stand up like steel needles, and it seems that he can't find the slightest shadow of Meng Qingtong from him.

Now Meng Huo is wearing gold armor, wearing a beast bone helmet, sitting in the state pastoral office, covered in evil spirits, and his end is majestic.
