Li Ye frowned slightly when he saw Zhu Wen go away, and immediately he felt that a strong person in the real realm appeared.

He looked at it from afar, and he didn't plan to go out of the city to chase it, and he didn't know how many of the True Human Realm monks in Zhongnan Mountain, if the two joined forces, he wouldn't be able to fight it.

However, since Dengzhou City has been defeated, Li Ye is too lazy to make extraneous branches, Zhu Wen, who can achieve the emperor's business, has the atmosphere to be lucky, and it is not that he can kill him casually if he wants to, and the focus at the moment is not on Zhu Wen.

On that day, the battle continued until mid-afternoon, when it was over.

By sunset, the city had largely quieted down and order had been restored. Even if there are sporadic and stubborn Zhu Wen tribes, there are no waves in front of the official army.

Zhu Wen's 50,000 parts and more than 10,000 deaths, more than half of which are today's results.

In the battle on the battlefield, the fighting between each other, in fact, the casualties are not as many as imagined, only when the victory and defeat are decided, the one-sided slaughter will suddenly increase the casualties.

In addition, there are more surrenders, although Zhu Wen's troops are elite and brave, but the general trend has gone, and there are not many who are willing to die, besides, the more than 50,000 Dengzhou defenders are not all Zhu Wen's descendants. In the end, more than 10,000 people escaped.

The casualties of the officers and soldiers are not small, after all, the siege battle is too much for the besieging party, and those rain of stones, iron, water and arrows are not decorations.

The Pinglu army suffered thousands of casualties, but the loyal army suffered fewer casualties, this is not that Zhou Qi was passive and sluggish, the number of the loyal army was only half of the Pinglu army, and in terms of the absolute number of casualties, it was naturally inferior to the Pinglu army.

That night, all the generals gathered together to report the battle situation in front of Li Ye.

Zhou Qi, Yang Fuguang and others were all full of red light, and being able to capture Dengzhou City so quickly in the hands of the famous Zhu Wen was obviously a shot in the arm for them, making them full of hope for the future war.

Yang Fuguang had a good insight, and when he met, he hugged his fist at Li Ye, and said excitedly: "The army can win so quickly, the marshal and the Lu army have made great contributions, without the marshal and the Lu army, there would be no victory." In the past few days, our family has seen the commander's deployment of troops and the heroic battle of the peaceful Lu army, but I admire it tightly in my heart. Now the thieves are fleeing, this battle is of far-reaching significance, not only in the hinterland of the Central Plains there are no more thieves generals, but the news reaches Guanzhong and the Sifang Domain, and it is bound to inspire the fighting spirit of the army. King An became famous in the first battle, and everyone in the world will praise King An's wisdom!"

Listening to such naked words of appreciation in person, Li Ye felt happy and slightly embarrassed, he waved his hand and said: "This battle can be won, the merits of the loyal army are not under the Pinglu army, and the name of the prison army and Zhou Shuai to serve the country loyally and righteously will be known to the world after this war." ”

Zhou Qi said with a smile: "The marshal is so young, he can command more than 100,000 troops, win a decisive victory on the battlefield, and his future is limitless." Although we also have a small merit, we definitely don't dare to compare with the big handsome, Kuang Fu Sheji, save the difficulties, who is the big handsome?"

"Zhou Shuai, don't make fun of Ben Shuai. Li Ye waved his hand again and again, showing modesty, and then said: "All in all, this battle can be won, it is because of the concerted efforts of the top and bottom, the soldiers and soldiers, and everyone has merit." As for the size of their respective merits, they have their own military envoys to adjudicate, and those who have meritorious service must be rewarded and punished, which is the foundation of the commander's management of the army. Ladies and gentlemen, after the great victory, do not slack off, the most important thing at the moment is to appease the people. ”

Having said that, that night, the loud officers and soldiers still had a big feast, wine and meat were openly served, and the soldiers were in high spirits, except for the troops on duty, almost all of them were drunk, and the relaxation after the big battle was the proper meaning of the title.

However, Li Ye did not slack off, there were tens of thousands of troops on duty, this is to prevent Zhu Wen from killing the carbine, although it is not very likely, but caution is a habit, and once slack, it may be slack.

In addition, Li Ye strictly ordered the three armies not to disturb the people, let alone loot. This order had no effect on the Pinglu army, 80,000 of the 100,000 troops were new soldiers, and they did not have the habit of plundering after the war.

However, the soldiers of the loyal army were very resistant to this order, and in this era, no matter what the king is or not, the post-war plundering is the same. Huang Chao only made a show when he entered Chang'an City, and after the Tang army drove Huang Chao out for the first time, it was because of the wanton looting that Huang Chao's counterattack was successful.

It is also a loss that Li Ye's prestige has now been erected, although the loyal army is dissatisfied, he does not dare to disobey the order, in addition, Li Ye opened the treasury, took out all the gold and silver, and rewarded the soldiers who ascended first on the spot, which also made the loyal army soldiers have nothing to say.

That night, Li Ye asked Li Zhendi, who was with the army, and other civilian officials to quickly deal with the matter of pacifying the people.

Although the city of Dengzhou was defeated, it was also destroyed in the war, and Zhu Wen also recruited a lot of people during the war, and no one took care of the fertile land outside the city.

At this time, it is particularly important to let Dengzhou quickly restore normal order and let the crops in the field grow normally. That is a big plan related to the people's food, even if Li Ye will not take Dengzhou as his own after this battle, but he can't owe it to the people.

After everyone left, Li Ye quieted down alone.

In the dead of night, he closed his eyes and concentrated, and the slightest wisp of luck broke through the window and kept converging towards him. The dragon qi in the body is quietly swimming and is gradually growing.

The color of the dragon qi has gradually stared, and there is a faint meaning of turning the virtual into reality.

Li Ye secretly guessed that maybe when the dragon qi degenerated, it would be the day he stepped into the real realm.

In any case, the real human realm is a big mountain, and it is not something that can be crossed casually, and there is Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang first, and Li Ye is also afraid of the reincarnation of immortals.

Although entering the city according to history, the Yellow Nest will inevitably be destroyed, but this world is different from the earth after all. Moreover, Li Ye was originally traveled and reborn, and in the original history, there was no such person as him. Even if Huang Chao will die, he may not necessarily succeed.

The great work of exterminating the Yellow Nest, how much he can eat is still unknown, this is to rob Li Keyong of the great luck. In addition, after the Huangchao Rebellion, the world was completely in chaos, the feudal towns were conquered, the weak ate the strong, Li Ye was in Pinglu, Li Keyong in the north, and Zhu Wen in the south, it was not a worry-free situation.

It's really hard to say what will happen in the future.

In such a big situation in the world, there are still things like the great exit of the Dao Gate and the reincarnation of immortals, and everything is full of unknowns.

Next, the army rested in Dengzhou for many days, and Li Ye's plan was to first sweep away the large and small rebel forces in the Kwantung region and prepare for the attack on Tongguan.

After Zhu Wen left Dengzhou, he rushed to Tongguan without stopping until he stopped.

After arriving at Tongguan, he did not eagerly go west to Chang'an, but sent people to collect his troops along the way. Most of the remnants of the army that escaped from Dengzhou City were regrouped by him.

A few days later, Zhu Wen had more than 10,000 troops, although these soldiers, in the process of escaping, had to lose their armor, because the armor was heavy, affecting the speed of escape, and now there are not many people with knives in their hands.

But Zhu Wen doesn't mind, just have someone, although these people suffered defeat in Dengzhou, it is undeniable that they are still elite soldiers. Such a soldier is a baby, and when he returns to Guanzhong, he will be replenished with armor, take a little rest and practice, and be a real pawn on the battlefield.

Zhu Wen led more than 10,000 remnants of the army to defeat, and when he returned to Chang'an, Huang Chao took a group of Wenchen generals and personally came to Baqiao to greet him.

Seeing Huang Chao's guard of honor from a distance, Zhu Wen was stunned at first, and then quickly approached, rolled off the saddle more than a hundred steps away, and walked forward with the generals behind him.

Huang Chao, who was dressed in the imperial robe, was full of spirit, and looked high-spirited, seeing Zhu Wen saluting, he laughed and came over to help, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he was a general who greeted the triumph, and the battle situation of Daqi must be very optimistic, otherwise he would not be so happy.

"The general is fighting for the country, and he has worked hard and made great achievements, and I often think about it, but now I am very relieved to see the general return safely!" Huang Chao patted Zhu Wen's shoulder affectionately, and his laughter became louder and louder.

Not only did he have an amiable attitude, but the prime ministers who followed him also had the same attitude towards Zhu Wen, as if Zhu Wen was not defeated at all.

Zhu Wen's mind turned sharply, secretly guessing Huang Chao's intentions, his face was distressed, and he bowed down again: "The minister's conquest is unfavorable, and he has disappointed His Majesty's high hopes, please treat Your Majesty's sin!"

Huang Chao helped Zhu Wen for the second time, and said loudly: "The general is alone in the Kanto, facing an army of 100,000 people, how can there be any disadvantage in the war." The general doesn't need to say much, and go back to the palace with me, and today I will personally pick up the wind and wash the dust for the general!"

When Zhu Wen's subordinates came back, they were trembling, for fear of being held accountable and punished by Huang Chao, but now when they saw Huang Chao's prime ministers behaving like this, they were all relieved, and a big stone fell in their stomachs.

It seems that Your Majesty is also a person who understands, and knows that the loss of Dengzhou cannot completely blame us for our ineffective fighting, and Your Majesty also knows the bloody merits of the soldiers.

is different from the ease of the generals, but Zhu Wen's heart is clouded with a haze. The more generous Huang Chao is, the worse the situation is.

Daqi was employing people, and he was a strong general, so Huang Chao had no intention of punishing crimes. The next battle, I'm afraid it won't be easy. That's it, the key is what the future of Daqi is, as a courtier and military general of Daqi, the fate of Daqi is Zhu Wen's own fate.

On the same day, Huang Chao hosted a banquet in the palace to entertain Zhu Wen, the former's posture did not seem to be fake, and Zhu Wen was also the same as usual, and the wine was happy during the banquet.

Zhu Wen was originally the commander of Huangchao's pro-army, and in terms of closeness, it is indeed not comparable to ordinary people, and when they fought in the north and south of the river, the two even had the experience of falling asleep on their feet.

Zhu Wen's face was impassive, but he was actually worried.

After the feast, Zhu Wen left Miyagi.

Just as he was about to get on his horse outside the city gate, a familiar voice came from behind him: "General Zhu walks slowly." ”
