"Report !!"

"Report to your lord, the two armies of the Tiger Ben Eagle Attack have arrived at the border camp at the end of the day, and the construction of the right Beiping defense line has been completed!"

Hiraoka Castle.

Zhang Qizheng listened to the news sent back by the banner soldiers.

After hearing that the two armies had completed their withdrawal according to the scheduled time, and had built a defensive line on the border of Youbeiping and Yuyang Shanggu counties, he got up and asked.

"What about the casualties of the two armies?"

"Back to the king, the two armies of the tiger and the eagle attacked the retreat quickly, and dragged the encirclement and suppression of the Han army with the baggage as bait, and the casualties were not large."

The casualties are not large, which means that they are still casualties, Zhang Qi understands this.

Over the years, he also knew that Ci was not in charge of the army, sacrifice was inevitable, and what he had to do was to save those soldiers who were wounded but not dead as much as possible.

"Hmm. Brave and brave, pass on my orders! ”

"According to the established plan, inform Naqi that the Hanging Pot Division will be stationed in the field hospital and make every effort to protect the lives of all wounded soldiers!"

"In addition, immediately send a message to Yongle, Liaodong, and the three armies of Guyi, ready to block the retreat route of the Han army at any time!"

"The cubs of the Tiger Squat Army can't wait, tell them that in the next battle, it's their turn to play!"

Bang bang.

In the county government, there was a neat salute.

——

"These rebels are eating well enough."

Yuyang Upper Valley.

The Great Tent of the Han Army was transferred here.

Wang Ze used a knife to stab the grain and grass that had been seized from the Liaodong rebels.

Grabbing a handful of plump grains, he snorted coldly.

"But a chaotic army is a chaotic army, and they can't eat fine chaff, and the team raised with this grain is just some cowards who rely on armaments to kill the enemy!"

"Humph!"

"Take it down, check it batch by batch, and hand it over to the quartermaster if there is no problem."

"No!"

Originally, I just wanted to tear open the front, but I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected harvest now, the capture of this batch of baggage, so that the supplies of the Han army were enriched at once, and this batch of captured baggage alone was enough for 300,000 Han troops to eat for more than a month.

Oh no, it's three hundred and ten thousand now.

In order to win the front, Wang Ze said that to make up for the main force is to make up for the main force, after such a long time of fighting, almost half of the criminals battalion died, and countless wounded soldiers.

Even the main forces of the various departments paid a total of nearly 10,000 casualties.

But it was all worth it, taking the defensive line was a shot in the arm for the Han army, their morale was high, and those criminals who survived the battlefield were also qualified to be incorporated into the various departments as the main force.

On the battlefield, those who survived were elite soldiers, so after coming and going, the main force under Wang Ze was not only not damaged, but there were more than 10,000 more people.

"General, this attack and defense we also know the details of this gang of rebellious troops, now their bows and arrows should not be many, otherwise they will not even have time to transfer the baggage and retreat in a hurry, the last general thinks that it is a good strategy to take advantage of the morale of the generals to go straight to the hinterland of the ministers!"

In the big tent, the generals gathered around Wang Ze, and one of them raised his hand.

Wang Ze glanced at this person, a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes, the other party's thoughts were the same as his, but he was still a little immature.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be blindly arrogant, you need to know that the tiger Botu also needs to do his best, and you must not underestimate Liaohou Zhang Qi because of a victory."

"You know, there is still an elite in his hand that has never appeared on the battlefield!"

"Obey the general's teachings!"

The generals bowed their hands, and then another asked.

"What does the general mean?"

Wang Ze smiled and said, "Consume first!" ”

"This time they evacuated and left behind so much baggage, enough for us to use for a month, plus Your Majesty sent people to send a steady stream of grain and grass, the decision of time is in our hands."

"On the other hand, under the elimination of one and the other, the life of the chaotic army will not be easy, you will take advantage of this good opportunity to subdue the hearts of the army, and wait for Zhang Qizi to fight in chaos, which is the chance for us to stab the key sword!"

In the big tent, Wang Ze's face was unfathomable.

——

A special token was handed to the defenders of the city.

"I'm going to see the head of the house."

A carriage, more than twenty pack horses stopped at the gate of the county seat, and the man at the head of the leader turned over and dismounted and said to the city guard, and there was also a token of special material.

Got the token, the city guard's eyes were a little puzzled, he didn't know the token, but seeing the man acting like this, he still nodded and said: "Wait, I'll report it, left and right!" ”

The city guard colonel called, and the city guards who were in charge of entering the city to inspect looked over.

The colonel nodded at the man in front of him: "Strictly guarded." ”

"No!"

These people are naturally the guards of the Taiping Army in Qingzhou, but since the last time Liao Hua and others took Ying County, it has become a transit point for displaced people from all over the world to enter Qingzhou, and the commander of Wolong Mountain sent 3,000 guards to strengthen the city defense.

"No!"

"Wait for the horse, the cart. Let Madame stay with Xiao Langjun, but don't move, the bows and crossbows on the city walls are no joke. ”

Under the orders of the little colonel, eighteen people ran in front of the man, and collected more than 20 horses and weapons of the man and others.

The man also seemed unusually cooperative, and ordered everyone not to resist.

After seeing the little school go to the city, the man went to the car and calmed his mother and younger brother, who were a little nervous.

"It's okay, I'll be home soon."

The man touched his younger brother's hair and comforted softly.

And the younger brother gradually calmed down in the man's comforting voice, they had been walking for a long time, originally all the way north, but because the Han army was also going north, the vigilance of the counties had to let the man turn to the east.

But there was also a Han army in the east, and he heard about the daimyo he didn't know, so he didn't want to take the risk, so he could only turn around and go south, and then found a way to go back to Liaodi in Taishan County.

The man is naturally Huo Quai, who has disappeared for a long time, he kept his promise, and after returning home, he left his hometown with his family.

All the way.

"the sick, these"

"Don't be afraid, the child is here, the brother is also there, we have to believe the brother, hehe."

Huo Guang teased his mother a little playfully, although he was young, but to the extent of being sensible, he had a very deep understanding of Huo Qu's illness along the way.

He vaguely remembered a question Huo Guang asked him half a year after he set off: "Why are all the displaced people you can see along the way going northeast instead of going straight south?" ”

Huo Qubing didn't know before he was sick, and he didn't even care about these people at all, but when his uncle died, he left Liaodi alone and returned to Handi.

That night, by the campfire, he answered Huo Guang's question like this.

"Because they want to live."
