In this battle, in addition to the main generals, the middle-level officers also made a lot of contributions.

Fanda's nephew, Delida, bumped into Cheng Pu while charging, and Cheng Pu fought with the force, slashing him to death with the last knife and cutting off his head.

Fanda's other nephew, You Cheng, was targeted by Yan Xing as he fled, and Yan Xing rushed over with his own personal guard cavalry and stabbed him to death with a spear.

Su Heduo's son Gao Feng was very brave, and it was unfortunate that he faced Cao Ren and Cao Chun alone during the battle, but he fought with the two for more than ten rounds without losing the upper hand.

As a result, Cao Ren didn't talk about martial arts, took out a crossbow and shot Gao Feng's chest, Gao Feng's body was stunned, Cao Chun swung his knife and chopped off one of his arms, Cao Ren slashed at his neck again, blood sprayed his face, and Gao Feng died in battle.

The brave general Ta Xin under the command of Su Heduo and Liu Yong, the trusted general of Liu Bei's clan, fought fiercely, and the two and the personal guard cavalry fought bloody battles one after another, and finally Liu Yong was injured in the arm and beheaded Ta Xin under the cover of the personal guards.

In addition, the eldest son and second son of Zhige were besieged and killed by ordinary soldiers of the Han army during the battle.

Zhige's younger brother was shot dead by the hand crossbow of the Han cavalry.

An ordinary Han cavalryman stabbed to death Suhduo's cousin during the engagement.

A large number of Qiang generals and officers were killed in battle, and many officers and soldiers of the Han army were killed.

In this battle, the main force of the Qiang army was completely annihilated, nearly 4,000 people were beheaded by the Han army, and about 18,000 people were captured, more than 60,000 horses of various types were captured, and more than 150,000 sheep were captured.

There were not a lot of seizures, and these Qiang people who came to invade were not as difficult as Liu Bei imagined before the war, so Liu Bei judged that the reason why they invaded Longxi County was not only the need to survive the cold winter, but also the selfish desires of the leader-level figures.

The Qiang people, Xianbei people and other ethnic groups also have a strong gap between the rich and the poor and class consciousness, and the leader-level figures can always have the largest number of cattle, sheep and horses, and they will not feel anything when they eat meat and drink wine every day.

But for the low-level herdsmen, it is not so easy for them to eat meat and drink wine, and if they really want to kill the cattle, sheep and horses they raise for meat, they have no way to make up for it.

The leaders will not be merciful to use their cattle and sheep to help the herdsmen, they must use their lives to fight for more supplies, and the materials they have snatched back will be divided into seven accounts, anyway, the leaders will not lose money.

It's just that they didn't expect to hit the iron plate this time.

Liu Bei was not surprised by the relatively easy victory in this battle.

Jia Xu was not very surprised because he was used to it.

But Xun You was more surprised.

"Although our army has a great advantage in equipment, but the Qiang people are wiped out so quickly, it is still something I didn't expect, the prince has only defended Liangzhou for a year and a half, if the Qiang people are so easy to defeat, why is there a Qiang rebellion that lasts for a hundred years before?"

Xun You expressed his feelings to Liu Bei in this way.

And Liu Bei already has his own answer to this question.

The answer is in front of you, because the Han was seriously ill, very serious and very sick, and he never got better from the beginning, and today, even to the point of being terminally ill and dying, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant, and the people and foreigners who surrender to the sincerity are expropriated and extorted, and the officials force the people to rebel, so there is this disaster.

Still, have you noticed? Gongda, these Qiang people do not have a unified military uniform, no unified ordnance, and even no decent military formation, if the Han army maintains a standard military formation, even if the Qiang people have millions of people, they are just local chickens and dogs, how can they fight the military formation with stragglers? ”

"Is it Dahan's own problem?"

Xun You took a deep breath and sighed again and again: "This ...... What's going on here? ”

Liu Bei shook his head slowly.

"Since the rise of Guangwu, the military of the Han Dynasty is not as good as before, the setting and training of the army are not as good as before, the rise of Confucianism, the worship of Confucianism in Luoyang, and the cultivation of literature in Yanwu, all go to learn the fourteen family laws, and the army has been weakened again and again, and they do not care about the training of military generals at all.

Lack of skilled soldiers, lack of generals who can command a large corps, dispatch lieutenants and lieutenants to become generals in case of trouble, the imperial court has almost lost the ability to command a large number of troops to coordinate the forces of the four sides to carry out the overall war, and can only conduct small-scale operations with a small army, lacking a global vision! ”

Xun You didn't understand some of the words and sentences that Liu Bei said, but he could slightly understand what Liu Bei was trying to express.

"Junhou, do you mean to say that since the rise of Guangwu Zhongxing, the imperial court has lacked talents who can decide the outcome of a war, right?"

"You can say the same thing."

Liu Bei said with emotion: "After the revival of Guangwu, especially after Emperor Xiaozhang, the Han Dynasty lacked large-scale operations, and everything wanted to be carried out in a limited area with the least number of troops, not to fight the overall battle, not to fight the war of annihilation, but to fight for the restoration of law and order. ”

"...... of law and order warfare"

Xun You muttered a few words, raised his head and looked at Liu Bei: "Junhou, do you think you can't always fight this kind of security war?" ”

"That's natural, for example, Duan Cheng, one of the three Mings in Liangzhou, at most, within a year, fought one hundred and eighty battles, one hundred and eighty battles! Two days and one war, what kind of war is this? ”

Liu Bei sneered: "The ancients have always admired the completion of a battle, and I don't know when it began, our generals only want to get by, just destroy the enemy in front of them, and don't care about hidden dangers, this side has extinguished the rebellion, and that side has risen again, tired of running for their lives, but they are not tired of it!"

In my opinion, once a war is launched, it is necessary to vow not to give up until the goal is achieved, and the consumption of a war must be exchanged for the greatest results, so that the war is meaningful! ”

Xun You was quite enlightened by Liu Bei's words, and suddenly felt that some problems that he couldn't figure out in the past had been figured out.

At the same time, he also felt that Liu Bei's understanding of world affairs was really very thorough and his perspective was very wonderful, so it was no wonder that he could do so many big things.

I heard that Liu Bei was born in a humble background, and even grew up as a mat weaver, and only studied with Lu Zhi at the age of fifteen, but it only took eleven years to go from a humble man to the status of a pivotal figure in the Han Empire.

Some people always say that this is his life, but Xun You feels that Liu Bei's intelligence and astuteness are also very important.

Of course, this does not prevent Xun You from thinking that Liu Bei is a genius, a genius who can gain insight into the world and find out the key to the problem.

With such a genius, what kind of things can be accomplished in the future?

Xun You couldn't predict it, but for the first time, he felt that there was an existence called "hope" in his future.

The Battle of Lintao ended with the complete victory of the Han army, the Qiang coalition army was completely annihilated by the Han army, and the three leaders of the Qiang coalition army were all destroyed, one of them died at the hands of Pang De, and two died at the hands of Zhang Fei.

When Zhang Fei knew that he had killed the two Qiang leaders in one go, he couldn't help himself with joy.

Then, he got the hug of Liu Bei, whom he had always dreamed of.

"It's really worthy of being someone I trust, Yide, you have grown up, and I am proud of you!"

Liu Bei's praise and acknowledgment are tantamount to a natural sound for Zhang Fei, and they are things that can really make him feel happy.

Zhang Fei was satisfied, didn't say anything, and waited for Liu Bei's next arrangement.

There is no doubt about what is going to happen next.

The Qiang people want to loot Longxi County, it is not that they do not need to pay a price, Liangzhou is just short of people, and there is a lot of strong labor, and there will not be too many human resources in this area.

They need to pay for what they do!
