Early the next morning, Wang Rong went down to the county government of Bocheng and received a detailed report on the battle.

Zhang Gengxiao held the battle report in his hand and read it through to everyone in the hall: "In this battle, our army broke through four camps of the Ji army and occupied one city. More than 120,000 people were beheaded, more than 50,000 were captured, and more than 30,000 escaped. Among the armies, the cavalry beheaded more than 40,000 people and captured more than 40,000 people. The foot soldiers beheaded more than 80,000 people and captured more than 10,000 prisoners."

Li Sujie listened to Zhang Gengxiao's report and said, "Are these people crazy? So many people have been decapitated?"

Wang Rong listened to Zhang Gengxiao's report, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression made the generals in the hall feel a pang in their hearts. Wang Rong looked at Zhang Gengxiao and asked, "Among the armies, who has the largest number of heads?"

Zhang Genghuang faintly felt a hint of something wrong, but still replied stubbornly: "The first brigade beheaded more than 40,000 people, which is the most of all the armies."

After listening to Zhang Gengxiao's words, the eyes of the hall were focused on Yuan Tiangang. Wang Rong even looked at Yuan Tiangang and asked, "The first armor warriors are amazing, one person has eight heads, where should they be?" Do you think that the enemy on the other side is a Japanese man?"

Yuan Tiangang drooped his head and defended: "Marshal, we all told those Ji soldiers to lay down their arms and surrender, but there were still some who resisted, and they also killed and injured dozens of our comrades, and the brothers were angry for a while, so they didn't stop!"

Wang Rong sneered and looked at the hard-mouthed Yuan Tiangang, and said, "Is it you Yuan Tiangang who is floating, or is it that I, Wang Rong, can't hold the knife, and the clever words are like this, are you really not afraid of my military method?!"

Wang Rong's expression was not angry, but the generals who had followed him for a long time knew that Wang Rong was on the verge of breaking out at this time.

Yuan Tiangang was covered with cold sweat, knelt down on his knees in front of Wang Rong, and bowed and said, "The last general is guilty, please punish the commander!"

Yuan Tiangang had already felt Wang Rong's anger, and if he was hard again, he was really afraid that Wang Rong would give him to military justice. At that point, he Yuan Tiangang has no other way back than to die.

Wang Rong stared coldly at the back of Yuan Tiangang's head and said, "Fifty rods, go and get the punishment yourself, and let the guards be executed."

Wang Mao and Yuan Tiangang saluted, "Oh! The last will obey."

Wang Rong continued: "The first to the brigade to behead the first, the whole brigade is profitable, and the reward is two."

Wang Rong did not take the credit of the first brigade, the reward and punishment is clearly a principle that the general must understand, the performance of the first brigade in this battle is very good, although it is bloodthirsty, but after all, it is the enemy, Wang Rong is not stupid enough to criticize his own people in order to protect the enemy.

Wang Rong continued, "The battle has been won, the city of Xia Bo has been occupied, and after a day of repair, we will wave our army south and go straight to Xindu."

On the day when the Tang army seized Xiabo City, Lian Yu set off from Xiabo City with his own soldiers, galloped all the way, killed a few horses, and finally arrived at Xindu City.

The minister of state is incorruptible, and the people of Ji in the entire Xindu know him, but it is the first time they have seen such an embarrassed prime minister. I saw that Lian Yu didn't say a word, and he didn't even return to his mansion, so he went straight to the palace of Jiguo, the capital of letters.

At this time, it was already Shen Shi, and Lian Yu estimated that Zhao Huan, the emperor of Ji State, was handling state affairs in the main hall of the palace.

As expected, when Lian Yan was taken to the main hall by the eunuchs, Zhao Huan and the crown prince Zhao Yan were there.

Zhao Huan had a bad premonition in his heart when he saw the embarrassed Lian Fang, but he still stood up, squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said happily to Lian Wei: "Prime Minister, it's best if you come back!"

Lian Yu staggered forward, knelt on his knees and saluted, "The sinner has seen the saint and the prince."

Zhao Huan stepped forward quickly, holding Lian Liang with both hands, and his face became anxious: "Why is the Prime Minister here, please get up quickly."

The crown prince Zhao Yan on the side also hurriedly stepped forward and joined forces with Zhao Huan to help Lian Yan up.

Lian Yu burst into tears, and said with a mournful voice: "The criminal minister is incompetent, Zhao Luqi misled the country, and the 200,000 troops of our Ji army were wiped out in an instant, and the old minister is ashamed of the saint!"

With Lian Wei's story, although Zhao Huan was somewhat mentally prepared, this defeat was really miserable, and the 200,000 troops in his hands who could fight were gone.

Zhao Huanzhi felt a straight feeling in front of him

The piece was blurry, and his mind was buzzing, and the crown prince next to him, Zhao Yi, found that his father's state was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said urgently, "Father, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Huan was unconscious at this time, and the whole person fell into Zhao Yan's arms.

Seeing that Zhao Huan had fainted, Zhao Yan and Lian Yu hurriedly shouted, "Imperial Doctor! Physician! Tell the Imperial Doctor!"

The news of the defeat of the Ji State in Xia Bo City was like a hurricane at this moment, blowing all over the capital of Quanxin. Of course, the ordinary people knew that the Tang army was about to enter the city, and in order to avoid the disaster, they packed up their valuable things and fled outside the city, intending to take refuge in the countryside.

After tossing and turning for a while, Zhao Huan finally woke up, but his body was still very weak, he looked at the ministers in front of the bed, and said weakly: "The Tang army is about to come to the city, you Aiqing, what is the strategy for retreating from the enemy?"

The crown prince Zhao Yi stood aside, looking at the ministers who were all bowing their heads and silent, and a touch of sadness appeared in his heart. This is the minister of his Ji country, and this is the important minister of his Ji country who spent countless Lu rice to raise. At this time, what they were thinking about was not how to solve problems for their father and Daji, but how to escape from the butcher's knife of the Tang army.

Zhao Huan saw the reaction of the courtiers in his eyes, and the spirit of the whole person was even worse, and he was also very helpless.

Seeing the emotions of the emperor and the crown prince, Lian Fang could only bite the bullet and stepped forward and said, "For today's plan, we can only recruit young and strong people and gather troops, not only famous generals, but also clans to control the defense of the whole city."

Zhao Huan drooped his eyelids, looked at Lian Wei, and asked, "Who does the minister think can be up to this important task?"

Lian Yu replied: "The old minister asked the Holy Lord to take the crown prince as his general, and he was fully responsible for the defense of Xindu, and if the prince was equipped with a general who was skilled in martial arts, then Xindu should be safe."

Zhao Huan pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "As the minister said, Lao Cheng is seeking the country, Yan'er, I will give you a tiger talisman, and you can deploy the internal and external armies of the capital. This Xindu, this Ji country, I will entrust it to you."

The crown prince Zhao Yan watched his father tremble and give the tiger talisman to him, hurriedly knelt on his knees, took the tiger talisman with both hands, and said in a choked voice: "The son will live up to his father's trust and repel the Tang thief!"

Zhao Huan looked at the prince Zhao Yan with an excited face and tears on his face, and sighed in his heart: Hey, this power was finally distributed to the prince, hey, this heart hurts even more.
