Shenlong Pass, more than 50 miles away.

The camp with the size of a million-strong army of Rongguo is stationed here, but now, this once million-dollar camp is quite empty.

"Father! This time, only 350,000 soldiers came back alive, of which 50,000 were seriously wounded, and the remaining more than 200,000 were basically injured. ”

Li Ziye and a group of Rongguo generals gathered in the Shuai camp to report the battle damage to Li Sidao.

Each of them had an unbelievable look on their faces.

Since the founding of Rongguo, there have been few failed battles that have lost hundreds of thousands of troops, especially after the rise of Li Sidao, who won all the way, and Rongguo has very few defeats in internal and external wars, that is, when he fought against the Beili Shenwu Empress, he was occasionally deflated.

But this time.

They raised an army of millions, taking advantage of the time when the southern part of the Chu State was resisting the beast tide, as well as the people who hated the same enemy and hated the Chu State within the Rong State, to attack a small Chu State that was not as strong as them, but they had such serious losses, and more importantly, the losses were so heavy that they had not even won the battle.

This is in Li Sidao's hands, but it has never happened.

At this moment, the Rongguo army was all filled with an atmosphere of defeat and frustration, and even in the commander's tent, there was a strange atmosphere.

"Your Majesty, withdraw the troops, let's retreat to Rongguo, requisition the rest of the soldiers and horses, squeeze the potential of Rongguo, and then pull up hundreds of thousands of troops, and then it will not be so easy for Chu to attack us in turn."

"Well, this time the losses are so great, in the next few years, I am afraid that we can only protect ourselves, we will not be able to carry out foreign wars anymore, and there will even be some rebellions in the country."

"His grandmother's, how did the emperor of Chu manage to rush over across the north and south of Chu so quickly? Also, Sun Xing's dog thing has a terrain advantage, and there are nine Shenwei generals to help, so why was he directly defeated. ”

Rongguo soldiers, every word you say to me is full of negative and lonely emotions.

But who knows, after pondering for a while, Li Sidao suddenly asked.

"350,000 soldiers survived, 50,000 seriously wounded, which means that there are still 300,000 people, and they can continue to fight."

"What? Father? Do you mean that we are going to continue to attack the state of Chu? ”

Li Ziye was stunned and looked at Li Sidao in horror.

"Our million-strong army, when morale is at its peak, we can't attack, and now there are 300,000 wounded people left, and our morale is low, how can we succeed?"

The faces of the soldiers were shocked.

"Humph!"

Li Sidao saw that they were all languid, and couldn't help but shout angrily.

"When you are young, when you encounter a setback, you will lose your fighting spirit, how can you become a great weapon in the future?"

In a word, all the soldiers including Li Ziye were silent.

In fact, many of them are veterans in their fifties and sixties, but compared to Li Sidao's ninety years old, they are indeed young.

"Besides, I have never said that I want to go back and continue to attack the Chu State, there are still more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Shenlong Pass, and we have no advantage in defending it according to the danger, and it is really self-defeating to attack again."

"Huh? Don't go back and fight! What do you want, father? ”

Li Sidao opened a map, his wrinkled fingers slid over it, and finally stopped in one place.

"This is, Wangmen Gorge?"

The crowd looked at the place suspiciously.

"Yes, now that the secret passage is destroyed, from Shenlong Pass to Wangmen Gorge, it is the only way to my Rongguo, which is a valley several miles long."

Li Sidao looked at Li Ziye and said.

"Now that my army has suffered heavy losses, and the entire Rongguo is almost crippled, if you are the emperor of the Chu State, after such a big victory, what will you do next?"

"Of course, it's a chase for victory! In one fell swoop, he attacked Rongguo...... Yes! Father, do you want to? ”

"Yes!"

Li Sidao nodded.

"The emperor of Chu will inevitably take advantage of the victory to pursue and try to completely exterminate us, he must not have imagined that we were so defeated that he did not flee back to Rongguo as soon as possible, but set up an ambush on the road."

"The Chu army is already small, even now, we still outnumber them, when the time comes, we will ambush on the hills on both sides of Wangmen Gorge, prepare enough rolling stones and wood, and wait for the Chu army to enter Wangmen Gorge and throw it down in one fell swoop, disconnect from the middle, and then condescendingly, taking advantage of the terrain to kill the Chu army in one fell swoop."

"Father is wise!"

"Your Majesty really has great courage!"

After listening to Li Sidao's plan, the previous sluggish morale of the generals suddenly swept away, and their eyes lit up.

In doing so, it is indeed possible to turn defeat into victory.

"And what about our seriously wounded?"

"All the medicines are given to the lightly wounded who can go to the battlefield first, as for the 50,000 seriously wounded, it is already a burden, send 3,000 people to escort them back to Rongguo, if someone dies on the road because there is no treatment medicine, you can only blame them for their bad fate."

Hearing this, all the generals had a burst of heart palpitations.

It was said that they would send someone to escort them back, but all the medicine was left for the lightly wounded, and then the lightly wounded were sent to the battlefield, and the 50,000 seriously wounded could not be treated, and God blessed them to survive 12 out of 10 on the road.

However, for the sake of the final victory, it seems, it can only be so.

……

"Cheers!"

"Hahaha! Fuck it! How long has it been since I drank? Be sure to have a drink today! ”

When the soldiers of Rongguo were in a depressed and heavy atmosphere, the Chu army was happy and held a celebration banquet.

"Drink! Fuck it! ”

Chunfeng Building, Shenlongguan Branch, in a private room.

Yang Fan, Dian Wei, Guo Jia, Ma Chao, Wei Chigong, Li Guang, Gao Shun, Yu Qian, and several other generals with outstanding military achievements, each lying on a soft woven mat, drinking wine and eating meat, while enjoying three or four beauties engaged in the service industry, some massage, some peeling grapes, and some are feeding everyone fruit and wine with their mouths.

In the private room, there is a good style of extravagance and fornication.

"General Gao, come, you can drink some too! Men, how can anyone not drink! ”

"No need, I don't drink, it's enough for me to play with women."

"Hahaha, I understand, I understand, how can wine be as good as a woman!"

"Eh, by the way, Lao Dian, don't you have a wife? Why do you still come to Chunfeng Building with us? ! What are you doing with that hand? ”

"Hehe, you don't understand this, I am Your Majesty's personal bodyguard, and I can't stay three steps away from Your Majesty whenever and wherever I am."

"! You still have to be shameless, Your Majesty! I Wei Chigong also wants a wife, when do you want to arrange two? I like the ones that are as black as I am, or the ones that are particularly white. ”

"Good! No problem, I'll find you two in the future, one black and one white! ”

Yang Fan raised his wine glass and drank it all with the generals.

Looking at all the generals with red faces, Yang Fan sighed with emotion, sure enough, as long as it is a man, no matter what dynasty, any camp, any age, or any character, there is no one who does not love women.

Even Yu Qian, such a decent person, actually had such a good time!

Hum! I look down on these womanizers the most, and I must take them as a warning in the future.

Yang Fan opened his mouth, and a woman next to him fed a grape just right, Yang Fan thought so while eating the grapes.

"Everyone eat, drink, and have fun, and when the soldiers rest for two days, I will return to Chudu later."

"Huh?"

When Yang Fan said this, all the soldiers were stunned.

"What? Your Majesty, why don't we take advantage of the victory to pursue and take the opportunity to attack Rongguo? ”

Dian Wei and the other soldiers asked suspiciously.
