When the final result was reported to Sun Ning, he also fell silent for a while.

He thought that there would be difficulties and twists and turns in catching Qin Yude's only son, but he didn't expect that this would be the case in the end.

It can be said that this is the heaviest defeat in this attack, except for Liang Zuoche's death in the city.

Nearly 200 cavalry were killed in the battle, plus two officers at the rank of lieutenant were killed, and the mission of taking down Qin Fang was actually not done, and the people were actually robbed by another group of soldiers and horses.

The process and result of this matter were unacceptable, but in the end, Sun Ning still chose to accept it.

This is not only because now is the time to take Kaifeng and celebrate the great victory of the whole army, and it is not good to hit the people below excessively, but also because if you think about it carefully, in fact, it is he, the person who gave the order, who should be most responsible for this result.

"It was I who was blinded by the great victory in Kaifeng for a while, so I relaxed and ignored the possible threats." Sun Ning sighed and said, "So it's not you who are at fault, it's mine."

"Your Majesty...... The ministers are ashamed, and the ministers are afraid." Hearing him say this, Yan Hu immediately admitted his mistake and said, "It's because the minister is too big, otherwise he should have sent more soldiers and horses to follow, then even if there are really fish that have slipped through the net, he can calmly catch them all."

"Do you think these people who robbed Qin Fang are the defeated army of Kaifeng?" Sun Ning sneered.

"Isn't it? Who else but them?"

"Of course, it's the other two Peaceful Heavenly Army. Thirty percent are from Luoyang, and seventy percent are from Chang'an."

Sun Ning exhaled and said with a smile, "If we can really find out that they are from the Guanlong area, it may not be a bad thing for us, at least in this way, we can confirm an important matter."

"Yes...... What is it?" Yan Hu said curiously.

"Naturally, Qin Yude is really dead. If he wants to be alive, he shouldn't let the people from Guan Long's side take the risk of running to save his son, because that would be too disregarding the overall situation and the lives of the people below.

"But as soon as he died, it was a different story. Because Qin Fang is Qin Yude's only son, he is his only bloodline. Therefore, once he dies, whether it is to calm the morale of his subordinates, or for some other purpose, Li Wannian will definitely think of saving Qin."

The other generals thought about it carefully, and they also felt that Sun Ning's judgment was reasonable.

Of course, the wood is already in the boat, and it is useless to say anything now, but the next plan has become the top priority in front of everyone.

"Your Majesty, now that Kaifeng has been taken, can we take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle again and use troops to the north to see if we can take some cities in the Luoyang area, such as Xingyang and the like?"

As Yan Hu asked this sentence, the expressions of all the generals present became expectant, and everyone's eyes fell on Sun Ning, waiting for a definite answer.

They are really looking forward to another big battle, a big victory, especially the biggest credit and victory like Luoyang.

In other words, this battle of Kaifeng alone is enough for countless generals below Yanhu to obtain great merit rewards and qualifications in the DPRK and China. And if they can take down the old capital Luoyang City again in one go, so that the imperial court can return to the capital of Dayue, then no one can raise any objections to the credit.

But Sun Ning was silent for a while at this moment, and then said slowly, "Don't worry. The way of using troops is to pay a lot of money, and this time we have paid a lot of price to take Kaifeng, and Luoyang is more difficult to fight than Kaifeng, even Xingyang and other cities, and it is not something that the current tired army can deal with. Look at the book

"So what I mean is to suspend the use of troops first and guard the front line of Kaifeng. After the beginning of spring next year, we will make further arrangements according to the situation."

This decision disappointed many generals, and Yan Hu even planned to speak a few more words of persuasion. But after facing Sun Ning's firm eyes, he still dispelled his thoughts, and could only be with others.

At least in the minds of these generals now, Sun Ning, the emperor, is already a god-like existence. If he hadn't designed the overall situation this time, how could he have taken Kaifeng so easily?

So even putting aside his supremacy as emperor, this influence alone, just

It is enough to make all the soldiers follow their orders.

After sending them away, Sun Ning sighed lightly again, and then showed a thoughtful expression.

This time, he made the decision to accept it when he saw it, not entirely out of his own considerations, but also taking into account the situation of the enemy outside.

For the imperial court itself, after experiencing this battle of Kaifeng, the fatigue of soldiers and horses was naturally inevitable. However, what is more important is the distribution and balance of credit.

For example, Yan Hu and other generals in front of him, this time the credit is already very great, so it is naturally not good to let them continue to fight Luoyang. Once the soldiers are arrogant because they take Kaifeng, it is not good to lose, but if they win, is it really good for them? Aren't you afraid that your achievements will not be rewarded?

And, what would others think?

Xiao family brothers, Chen Qingyun, Nie Longweiting, Liang Wentong, Gu Yaohua...... These generals are loyal and capable courtiers, so you can't favor one over the other and not give them a chance, right?

Sometimes, the way of balance is also very important, and it is an important criterion for employing people.

As for the external side, there are even more concerns.

Luoyang and the surrounding cities are more difficult to attack than Kaifeng, which is a real impregnable existence.

And don't forget, Zhao Guangxiao's soldiers and horses are not completely empty like here in Kaifeng, and his soldiers and horses are still very intact. Once the war starts in a hurry, the pressure on the imperial army will inevitably be several times higher than before, is there really a certainty of victory?

And even if you put aside the difficulty of Luoyang, you are really confident, and you can't ignore the troops from Li Wannian in Guanzhong.

In the current Sun Ning's opinion, I am afraid that among the remaining two Pingtian armies, in terms of threats to the imperial court, Li Wannian of Chang'an is still above Zhao Guangxiao in Luoyang.

Judging from Li Wannian's previous movements, once the imperial court really uses troops against Luoyang with all its might, Li Wannian will definitely not sit idly by, so as to raise troops from Guanzhong and attack the rear of the Vietnamese army.

If this is the case, once it falls into the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy, will the imperial court really have a chance to unify the Central Plains?

After thinking about it for a while, Sun Ning finally shook his head, this is impossible.

Because he didn't know much about the situation in Guanzhong, and he didn't even have a definite answer to how many soldiers and horses the other party could send, how could he make such a big gamble and decision?

So, just wait.

Perhaps, the previous decision of the south and then the north can be re-launched, as long as Kaifeng is stabilized first, and then the horn is synthesized with Liangzhou, then the competition for the Central Plains can be fought steadily and steadily, step by step.
