When it was dark, the smoke gradually dissipated. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The battle in the Xianbei camp came to an end at the beginning of the rising sun.

Yuan Qi stood in the middle of the camp like a javelin, waiting for his generals to report to him on the gains and losses of the battle. Before Yuan got up, the Tianhui army, which was originally 10,000 people, after a night of fighting, there were hundreds of casualties, and the remaining more than 9,000 people held sabers in their hands, guarding the Xianbei prisoners who were several times their size. At a cursory glance, there are at least thirty or forty thousand Xianbei prisoners kneeling on the ground.

The sound of horses' hooves moved, Zhao Hu took his subordinates and soldiers to escort nearly 10,000 Xianbei people over, commanded his subordinates to bring the captured Xianbei people into the custody range of the Tiangui Army, and ordered the sergeants to cooperate with the Tiangui Army to lay down two layers of defense, Zhao Hu then rode his horse to Yuan Qi, turned over and jumped off the horse, Zhao Hu said to Yuan Qi: "Senior brother, after this battle, most of the young people in the eastern Xianbei were captured, I am afraid that they will no longer be able to make waves." ”

Yuan Qi nodded with a smile, Eastern Xianbei is the most ambitious and powerful of all the three Xianbei, and getting rid of Eastern Xianbei is equivalent to getting rid of half of the threat in Northern Xinjiang.

It didn't take long, Ma Yue also rushed over with people and horses, unlike Zhao Hu, Zhao Hu knew the importance of population, so when fighting, he would not kill the Xianbei people if he could; Therefore, in Ma Yue's queue, there were only two or three thousand Xianbei prisoners.

Later, Pound also led the team to rush over. The Xianbei prisoners he captured were neither as many as Zhao Hu, but also not as few as Ma Yue, about 5,000 people.

After an hour's count, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu came to Yuan Qi and reported the gains and losses of the battle to Yuan Qi one by one. Yuan Qi's habit has always been to listen to the losses of his own troops first, and then listen to the results of the battle. Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu naturally knew Yuan Qi's character of loving soldiers like sons, so they reported the battle damage when they came up.

In this battle, more than 400 people were killed in the elite of the 10,000-day return army. More than 500 others were wounded to varying degrees; more than 3,000 of the 30,000 sergeants under the command of Zhao Hu, Ma Yue, and Pang De were killed in battle, and nearly 7,000 were wounded, of which more than 2,000 were disabled enough to continue serving in the army. This battle damage situation is still quite satisfactory to Yuan Qi. Since Shaxian was ambushed by Yuan Ding and others in the first battle, and most of the elite under his command were lost, when the army was reorganized, Yuan Qi's requirements for the soldiers under his command were stricter. From the most basic physical strength, to individual combat skills, to the adaptability of large-scale battles, and finally to the formation and change of battle formations. Yuan Qi has made the most stringent requirements. It is precisely because of the strict requirements of Yuan Qi that usually

On the side of the Xianbei army, the number of people killed reached more than 40,000, another 10,000 or 20,000 escaped, and the rest were captured and taken prisoner. The number of prisoners accounted for as much as half of the Xianbei army. There were 40,000 men. In addition to the data on the number of people, this battle also captured all the grain and grass in the eastern Xianbei, but unfortunately, at the beginning of the Yuan Qi led the army to break into the Xianbei camp, set fire to create chaos, many grains and grasses were burned in the fire, and the Xianbei people's grain and grass were not much, so the captured grain and grass can play a limited role, but it is finally better than nothing.

Compared to the few grains, weapons and armor can be called a huge number. Nearly 100,000 swords, 30,000 spears, and countless bows and arrows were seized; in terms of armor, 20,000 pairs of iron armor, more than 80,000 pairs of leather armor, and countless banners, tents, and other materials were seized. To tell the truth, with the casting process of the Xianbei people, these weapons and armor can't enter the eyes of Yuan Qi at all, but it doesn't matter, Yuan Qi has Wang Yezi and Ma Jun, two great craftsmen, let them lead the students of the craftsman discipline of Yenching University to improve these weapons and iron armor, or rebuild them to make standard fish scale armor and horse swords, which are good choices.

In short, no matter what, it is definitely worth the surprise of Yuan Qi to be able to harvest so many iron tools. Xianbei people don't do production, they can come up with so many iron tools, it can be seen that this time Amaiti is serious, these iron weapons and armor, almost all the iron weapons in the entire eastern Xianbei, after this fiasco, not to mention that the elite of the eastern Xianbei were wiped out by Yuan Qi, even if there are still young and strong people who can go to the battlefield, they don't have the weapons to take advantage of. Within ten years, Eastern Xianbei no longer had the capital to invade the south.

What surprised Yuan Qi the most was not the captured iron weapons and armor, but the war horses. The Xianbei people crisscross the northern frontier, relying on excellent war horses. Similar to the Xin barbarians, Xianbei is a nomadic people, and every adult man of the Xianbei people is a qualified warrior when he takes a saber and steps on a war horse, which shows the Xianbei people's dependence on war horses. Therefore, the war horses raised by the Xianbei people are all good horses with strong endurance and good at long-distance running, and these war horses are extremely cold-resistant, in the heavy snowfall, a large number of cattle and sheep are frozen to death at the same time, these war horses have survived intact, and the excellent varieties can be seen. After accurate liquidation, in this battle, the Yuan Qi army captured a total of more than 50,000 such good horses, relying on these war horses, Yuan Qi can completely form a heavy cavalry.

After counting the spoils of war, the next step was to dispose of the Xianbei captives. If it was before, Yuan Qi would definitely not hesitate to order the 40,000 Xianbei people who were captured to be killed in order to prevent future troubles. But after last night's battle, Yuan Qi figured out a lot of problems, and he slowly understood the truth of being born in sorrow and dying in peace.

Therefore, Yuan Qi did not order the killing of the Xianbei captives, but selected 20,000 elites from them, who were guarded by the Tiangui Army, and escorted all the way back to Yanjing to be trained and reformed by Jia Yuan, Huang Yong and others. As for the remaining more than 20,000 people, it's simple, release them all. Since the eastern Xianbei no longer has the strength to invade the south in the short term, Yuan Qi is also happy and generous, and let these people go back to continue to engage in nomadism. In fact, Yuan Qi was forced to do this, of course he wanted to move all the Xianbei people to the territory of Youhe and live with the Han people, but the problem was that Yuan Qi couldn't take out so much food to feed the prisoners of war. There are also some Xianbei people, because of the lack of food and clothing, voluntarily follow the Yuan Qi army back to the territory of Youhe, in this regard, Yuan Qi did not hinder, but welcomed, and gave a certain amount of money and food to every Xianbei person who was willing to live in Youhe. There are Qianlong members all over the country, and Yuan Qi is not worried about what waves these Xianbei people who have moved south.

After arranging the prisoners of war, Yuan Qi asked Zhao Hu to lead 20,000 men to continue northward and pacify all the territory of Xianbei in the east in one fell swoop. The current Eastern Xianbei is like a toothless tiger, without the youth and weapons, and 20,000 people are sent, which is enough to pacify the Eastern Xianbei. Xianbei people advocate force, and after seeing the bravery of the Yuan Qi army, they have a sense of awe from their hearts, and they can't afford to resist. Ethnic minorities are often so simple and direct, if you are stronger than me, I will obey you, and if I am stronger than you, you must submit to me.

After Zhao Hu led the army to the north and the Tiangui army returned to Yanjing with 20,000 Xianbei elites, Yuan Qi immediately led the rest of the 10,000 troops to the border of Youhe, and Qi Tian's ambiguous attitude was always a question that entangled Yuan Qi's heart. If this mystery is not solved as soon as possible, Yuan Qi feels very uncomfortable. Yu Gong, Qi Tian is the pastor of the state, is a subordinate of Yuan Qi, the governor of the Metropolitan of You, Yuan Qi does not want to see his subordinates betrayal; However, Qi Tian secretly released water and connived at the invasion of Xianbei in the middle of the Lian Manchu department, which is very incomprehensible, so Yuan Qi needs to know Qi Tian's true thoughts as soon as possible, and it is already an urgent matter to have a long talk with Qi Tian.

In the Monkey King camp, Chen Gong took the battle report and said with admiration: "Extraordinary people must do extraordinary things, the champion Hou is really a genius of heaven, using soil to mix grain and grass, and defeated more than 100,000 Xianbei troops of Amaiti overnight, and true gods and people!"

Qi Tian didn't even have the interest to take a look at the battle report, and said with an indifferent smile: "I said a long time ago that the second brother is an unborn genius, and it is not surprising that Amaiti was defeated and died, if it is the second brother who is defeated, then it is strange." ”

Seeing that Qi Tian was proud of Yuan Qi, Chen Gong smiled knowingly and said in a low voice: "General, Chen Gong somewhat understands why you let Lian Man's department enter the secluded merger, the champion Hou Xiong is strategic, and it is indeed worth the prince's painstaking efforts......"

Just as the two were talking, a junior colonel entered the account and reported: "General, the lord has led the army to the camp thirty miles away, please make a decision." ”

Qi Tian lowered his head and thought for a while, suddenly raised his head, and said loudly: "Inform the lord, Qi Tian invites the lord to discuss the matter in the lord's account!" Qi Tian turned his head to look at Chen Gong and said in a low voice: "Gongtai, I bother you to invite the envoys of Lian Man and Wang Nuo over, this scene should also end......
