"General, in this battle, our army destroyed a total of 4,300 enemies and captured 7,600 ......" It was not until after dark that the post-battle results of this battle were reported to Sun Tu, and he did not react much to this data. Although this battle was indeed a big victory, and the number of enemies destroyed reached 10,000 was rare, it was not much different from his previous prediction.

It wasn't until this soldier reported another key piece of data that Sun Tu and some of the generals around him were finally moved: "In addition, our army has 1,523 dead in battle, 920 seriously wounded, and 3,512 lightly wounded...... In addition, generals such as Zhou Tong, Hao Siwen, and Xuanzan also died in this battle. ”

This time, the data is much more accurate than the previous one, and it is actually implemented to a single number, which makes the joy on the faces of many generals disappear, and Sun Tu also sighed: "We must bury these sacrificed brothers well, and the injured must be taken care of, and there must be no sloppiness!" ”

The scale of this battle was not too large, but it was tragic enough. This is not only because both sides of the battle are the elite of the two armies, but also because it has a lot to do with the fact that the battle was fought at night at the beginning, even if the Shandong Army is a division of a hundred battles, it is still unfamiliar with night battles, resulting in casualties that are far greater than imagined. This is still when the enemy is quickly suppressed, otherwise the casualties will only be greater, and even the final victory will not be commendable and gratifying.

The only thing that can be reassuring is that the treatment system in the Shandong army is still quite mature, not only does there be a medical saint like An Daoquan who controls the overall situation, but there are also many medical soldiers who have been trained to treat the wounded in the first time, so as to greatly reduce the number of soldiers who die in vain because of serious injuries.

Sun Tu had already made up his mind that he would go to the wounded barracks to check on it later, but before that, he still had to count the gains after breaking the city. Huzhou as a big city in Zhejiang, the important place of the Wu army, the storage of money, grain, weapons and so on here is also quite rich, this battle is a sudden victory, the enemy has not had time to transport away or destroy these materials, and now they are cheap Shandong army.

Soon, the relevant reports were also sent over, and this time the harvest was indeed full, with more than 100,000 stone of grain alone, and as for gold, silver, money, and so on, it was full of several treasury. These are not only the income of the Wu army's hard work in these years, but also the original Great Song Dynasty officials from the people, anyway, these materials are now considered to be captured by the Shandong army, as a supplement for them to continue to go south.

It wasn't until after listening to this report that Sun Tu finally showed some smiles on his face, looked at his subordinates in front of him who were also happy, and said: "It is indeed a great gain to take Huzhou this time, and with my order, I will divide the relevant rewards tomorrow." Each soldier will receive a consistent amount of money based on their performance and will be replenished as appropriate. Also, the brothers who were killed or injured should be given more bereavement benefits, and there must be no deductions! In addition, divide the food as soon as possible, so that the brothers can eat enough and make other things. ”

Several generals in charge of related matters hurriedly answered the order, and although it was late, they did not dare to delay and rushed to do things immediately. Then Sun Tu issued several military orders in a row, including those who had people patrol the city to appease the people, and those who sent people to guard the gates of the city walls in various parts of the four cities. Although the Wu army was extremely embarrassed this time, and it seemed that it was impossible to raise troops in the short term, for the sake of safety, it still had to do a good job of corresponding defense.

In particular, the work of pacifying the people in the city must not be slackened in the slightest. After several battles and turmoil, there are still fifty or sixty thousand people in Huzhou, although they are not much of a threat, but they are also the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and Sun Tu naturally has to do his best to protect their interests.

It wasn't until all these things were ordered properly that Sun Tufang took Yue Fei, Tang Feng and a few other personal soldiers to the wounded barracks not far away to check on the condolences.

This wounded barracks turned out to be an official office, and it occupied a lot of land, which was just enough for these many soldiers to be accommodated. Before they entered the door, Sun Tu and the others had already heard bursts of screams and screams, and they heard it in the hearts of the people. Sun Tu's footsteps did not stop, he entered it in a few steps, and all he saw were soldiers in the army with blood on his body, and even stumps and severed limbs, even he was frightened at this time, and hurriedly walked to a medical soldier who was busy wrapping up the wounds of several wounded soldiers, and whispered: "I'll help you." ”

The medic didn't pay much attention to who was behind him at first, so he casually said, "You go and help me change the water." But the water in the basin on the side had already been stained red with blood, but he couldn't spare his hands to change the water. Until the wounded in front of him shouted with some excitement: "General Sun! He suddenly froze, looked back, and saw that it was Sun Tu behind, and he was so frightened that he immediately got up to make amends.

was held down by Sun Tu: "You just have to be busy with yourself, this is what you should do." As he spoke, he bent down and picked up the basin of water, walked outside and poured it, and then scooped a basin of water from the large vat on the side and brought it in.

Seeing that even General Sun was busy treating the wounded, the others naturally didn't dare to do anything, and they all got busy. Either help those medical soldiers to beat their hands, or directly help the wounded to wrap and bandage, so that everyone is more motivated, even those wounded are affected by this, and the moans of pain are much lighter than before.

Sun Tu's performance immediately made the hearts of a cadre of soldiers warm, and many wounded were so excited that they shed tears, and when he came to his side, they all wanted to struggle to say hello and salute, but he quickly stopped them and gave them condolences and encouragement.

To tell the truth, the so-called love of soldiers at this time is also reflected in the fact that they do not deduct military food and salary, practice with soldiers on weekdays, and take the lead in wartime, there are really few generals, especially the main general of the first army who enters the wounded barracks to comfort the wounded of his subordinates. And those like Sun Tu who directly started to help them heal their wounds, let alone saw it, they had never even heard of it. In this way, these wounded soldiers were naturally greatly moved, and their original sadness or despair was also greatly improved, because in their opinion, their own general did not give up on themselves, so they should work hard to cooperate with the treatment, and recover as soon as possible, so that they can return to the battlefield and kill the enemy to repay the general's great favor.

Sun Tu did not come here just to show off or to inspire the army, but really wanted to do his part for these injured brothers. And as a soldier thousands of years later, he still has some experience in treating injuries, and he actually took action to bandage and treat a few seriously wounded, which also made others more admired.

It wasn't until An Daoquan, who was still busy inside, heard the news and rushed to persuade him that he finally stopped making a move. But before leaving, he said earnestly to the hundreds of brothers in front of him: "Don't give up on yourself because you have injuries, I believe that most of you will recover soon, and in less than ten days and a half months, you will be a good man again." As for those who are really seriously injured, my Sun Tu also assures you that as long as I am in the army for a day, I will definitely not abandon you, and I will support all your future life needs. My Sun Tu has no other merits, but he definitely counts his words and will not break his promise! ”

These heartfelt words immediately won a burst of cheers from everyone, and everyone's morale was higher, and even the cry of pain was much less. After everything that happened in the wounded barracks today was spread out, the respect of the entire Shandong army for Sun Tu reached a new height, and with his assurance, this army will be more brave and fearless and unstoppable when it enters the battlefield again.

When Sun Tu left the wounded barracks, the sky above his head had turned white again, but a new day had come.

Although there has been no rest for two days and nights, and there was a big battle in the middle, Sun Tu did not have the intention of sleeping, but summoned Zhu Wu, who was also boiled red: "The report of this battle must be written as soon as possible, so that it can be sent to Bianjing and reported to the imperial court." Don't look at him as if he is very bold and doesn't care about anything, in fact, he is still quite stressed in his heart, for fear that the court will really attack him because of Zhu Mian's death. So once there is such a big victory, I want to pass on the good news as soon as possible.

Zhu Wu smiled: "General, I have already written the good news, please take a look." As he spoke, he handed over an ink-drenched text.

Sun Tu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, and took the good news: "It's better for you to be more careful, but I'm a little negligent." After saying that, he looked at the torch beside him, and looked at it at a glance.

Zhu Wu hurriedly said modestly: "The general praised falsely, the humble position is just to do his duty, you are entangled in everything, and I should share my worries." By the way, I thought that we could take advantage of this great victory to ask the imperial court for some supplements in terms of grain, grass, and silver, otherwise it would be a little difficult to go south in the future, so I mentioned a few words in the good news. ”

Sun Tu had already read this good news quickly, and nodded when he heard this: "You think about it well, although we can buy grain from the north and seize a lot from Huzhou, but after all, there is still something insufficient, just follow what you wrote." After speaking, he handed the good news to Tang Feng: "You will send someone to send it to Jingshi urgently, without delay!" ”

Tang Feng hurriedly said yes and strode away. And Sun Tu looked at Zhu Wu again: "Military Division, I thought that we would not be busy continuing to go south in the future, but the pressure on the anti-army cannot be reduced, so we must send some people out to spread the previous text again, what do you think?" ”

"The general is wise, this method is the most appropriate. Why don't you just let some of the brothers in the scout camp go on this trip? Zhu Wuxian agreed. Dealing with the enemy is not only on the battlefield, but also in propaganda.

Sun Tu nodded, and then gave another order, until the sky was bright, and he finished the rest of the instructions. It was only then that he was able to relax and come to sleep in the house that had been prepared for him a long time ago.

On July 26 of the fourth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, the Shandong Army recaptured Huzhou, and the offensive and defensive momentum between the Song and Wu armies was completely reversed!
