A month has passed since the vigorous Jinyang War. (Please search for the fastest novel website!)

Whether it was the Xiongnu or the Jinyang army, they were like seriously injured beasts, retracting into their nests and licking their wounds.

There has always been a complicated atmosphere in the entire Jinyang City, on the one hand, the soldiers rejoiced in repelling the strong enemy, and on the other hand, the huge losses caused by this great battle also made everyone in the know feel heavy.

In this battle, the Jinyang army killed more than 4,500 soldiers. If the injured are counted, the attrition rate is nearly 50 percent. Every soldier and every soldier has sacrificed, without exception.

6 Needless to say, the tragic situation of the remote department is to look at the other departments.

The Shangdang garrison originally had 3,000 people, of which about 500 joined the enemy with Long Ji and were annihilated under the city of Jinyang; The rest of the troops were attacked by Liu He, the king of Zuoxian, and were almost completely wiped out.

The 1,000 people of Lu Chang's department, who were stuck in Jiexiu, undertook the attack of Liu Yuan's main army, and held the city for half a month, with heavy casualties. By the time reinforcements finally arrived, only ninety-seven men were left standing in the city. Lu Chang himself was seriously injured and dying, and he is still lingering on the sickbed, according to the medical officer, this peerless general will probably never be able to open a bow or go into battle in the future.

Ding Miao first stole into Jiexiu to help defend, and then led the cavalry of his headquarters to be the vanguard of the whole army, and fought dozens of bloody battles with the Xiongnu in the area of Bird Mouse Valley and Tongjun Chuan, and suffered great losses. Over the past few years, almost all of the backbone subordinates who have moved to the north and south of the river have died in battle.

In addition, the headquarters of the Yueshi Gong and the main force of the Xiongnu fought bitterly repeatedly, and the attrition of each department was very strict. Among them, the headquarters of Lu Bosheng and Xing Yan, the two generals of Daling, who were attacked by Liu Yuan's army, were no longer able to maintain the basic structure and were annihilated.

The soldiers were killed and wounded, even the high-ranking generals were no exception. General Pan Shu, General Hao Yan, Gao Hu and others were all killed on the battlefield, and the army owners and team leaders at all levels suffered countless casualties. Even Lin Jian, the commander of Yue Shigong's own troops and who had fought with 6 Yao, was killed in battle.

However, compared to the civil administration, although the military is greatly damaged, it is still barely maintaining the situation after all. In the past few months, the civil affairs of Jinyang, which has been built in the past few months, have now been completely chaotic.

The Hu people attacked this time, burning, killing, and plundering along the way were particularly ferocious. Everywhere he went, whether it was a castle or a scattered village, all the supplies and people were swept away. According to the statistical results of the Division, the number of Dingkou who died in the war is more than 20% of the existing Dingkou in Taiyuan State, and nearly 50% of the number of Dingkou directly controlled by the Prefecture Assassin Shifu! In the war-torn years, the hukou was the source of food, the source of troops, and the basis for maintaining rule. Such a heavy loss was unbearable for the Jinyang regime.

The reason why the Xiongnu were finally forced back was that the most critical factor was that the Hu people took the lead in exhausting their grain reserves. The Hu people came with the idea of a decisive battle, but after several battlefield setbacks, they no longer had the confidence to win before the grain ran out. As everyone knows, the Jinyang army has also exhausted all the materials that can be gathered, as long as the Huns hold on for three or five more days and launch another offensive, the Jinyang army will inevitably turn into powder. In fact, there is only a thin line between victory and defeat.

On the surface, the Jinyang army gave the Xiongnu a head-on blow and dealt a severe blow to the arrogance of the Hu people. In reality, however, at least Yue Shigong's staff and mid-level officers were well aware that the imperial court's power in the state was far inferior to that of Liu Han's regime. The situation in Jinyang is still in turmoil.

However, no matter how tragic the cost, it is an indisputable reality that the offensive of the Huns with tens of thousands of troops was completely thwarted. This is a rare victory for the imperial court in recent years in the war against foreign races!

Not long ago, the imperial envoy detoured Jizhou to Jinyang and issued a reward for this battle. Liu Kun took the position of Pingbei General with great merit, gave 500 horses of silk, 500 catties of cotton, and gave 20 swords to the tiger Benban, and the chariot and the car were like the law. The rest of the meritorious generals were also promoted, and they were generally promoted by one rank. Overnight, there were more than five times as many soldiers in the Koshishi shogunate as having the official shogun number as before. As for civil officials such as Wen Qiao, they were also rewarded, and Wen Qiao, Xu Run, and Wang Ju were appointed as the Taishou of Shangdang, Jinyang, and Xinxing County respectively, and became high-ranking officials with a rank of 2,000 stones.

6 Haruka is even more incredible. With his exploits in killing the enemy general Qiao Xi and the rebel general Long Jimeng, and defeating the Shile army, he was especially commended in the imperial court's will, and was promoted to the post of general of Yamen by two ranks, and was given the title of Marquis of Guannei.

The Yamen General is different from the so-called "Yamen General" who usually leads the Yamen elite. This is the official rank set up by Cao Wei, a fifth-rank general, with a rank of 2,000 stones, a silver seal and a blue ribbon, and his status is far above that of a general and an ordinary captain. Among the martial artists in the state, this rank is only below Ling Husheng, on par with Ding Miao and a few others.

The general who was defeated a few months ago has now become a high-ranking military attache of the imperial court and has been given a knighthood, 6 Yao doesn't know how much envy he has aroused.

One morning in May, 6 Yao went to the Assassin's Mansion to participate in the military meeting, and did not come out until Shen Shi. Xue Tong and Deng Gang couldn't wait impatiently outside the mansion for a long time, and their stomachs were also unbearable hungry, so the three of them made an appointment to sit in a wine shop in the city.

It is said to be a wine shop, but in fact, where can the wine be sold? It's just some rough food. Steaming a few cakes and eating, carrying a pot of tea and drinking, and basking in the warm sun in the spring, this is a rare enjoyment in troubled times.

When the three of them came to the wine shop, it was unexpectedly full. It turned out that the Hu people ravaged the state this time, although it destroyed the hukou, but also forced the residents of the southern part of Taiyuan to flee to Jinyang, and these displaced people filled the neighborhoods of Jinyang, making the hukou of Jinyang City appear deformed and inflated. At this moment, among the wine shops, there are many homeless people who are temporarily surviving. 6 Yao and the other three had to borrow a bed and a desk and sit down on the side of the street.

6Haruka seemed to be hungry, and he devoured bread and gulped down water. While Deng Gang was eating, he chattered about what he saw and heard in Jinyang City today.

"The Zhang family suffered heavy losses this time. The clansmen who stayed in Qi County thought that this time the Huns would extort dozens of stones of grain as before, so according to the old method, they gathered the young and strong people in the clan to defend the village. As a result, the Xiongnu mobilized thousands of people to attack, broke the stockade in the blink of an eye, plundered all the assets and left, and left the men, women, children, chickens and dogs in the village. Zhang Zhao went to the funeral half a month ago, and I heard that he still can't get out of his body......"

What Deng Gang said was the encounter of the wealthy families in the south of 6 Yao Taiyuan County. This time the Huns attacked, and the soldiers went straight to the north of Jinyang City, burning and killing and plundering everywhere they went, and the chickens and dogs were not left. In the past, the 12 surnamed Hao clan and 34 Wubao who gathered with 6 Yao in Fenyang Zhongdu Pavilion were wiped out by the Xiongnu, and three of them were even wiped out.

Although these wealthy surnames are all people who are difficult to escape, they have no friendship with 6 Yao and others; But after all, there was an alliance in one place, and many people were familiar. Moreover, the whole army was born with many of their pigs, sheep, cows, and wine. Hearing what happened to them, the three of them all felt a little bit of kinship.

Zhang Zhao, the patriarch of the Zhang clan, was the first to convey sincerity to 6 Yao at that time, and was later awarded the position of Bingzhou by the Duke of Yueshi. Therefore, he led a number of relatives to live in Jinyang. It is precisely because of this that he was saved from the fate of the annihilation of the whole clan, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune.

"Also, the Guo family is the most unlucky. Previously, because of the gathering of people to resist the official army, the patriarch and below were killed by us a lot. The rest of the clan were all relocated to Jinyang City. Unexpectedly, on the night when the Hu soldiers came to the city, the rebel Chi was in turmoil, and the house where the Guo family temporarily lived was wantonly slashed and killed by the bandits, and the Dingkou of the clan went to seventy percent. I passed by the door of their house, and I was busy with funeral business......"

Deng Gang paused, and suddenly patted the case: "By the way, it suddenly occurred to me that it is said that the current patriarch of the Guo clan is Guo Yongrong, the daughter of the original patriarch, and it is said that he has a resolute temperament. Although she is a weak female streamer, she is meticulous in the funeral etiquette she handles, and she has never neglected to bathe in the mortuary, small and large. ”

6Haruka coughed, seemingly choking on impurities mixed in the steamed cake. He finally spit out the slag in his throat, drank water, and asked vaguely, "Guo Yongrong?" ”

It is said that as long as the mood is not too bad, several big men get together, and it is inevitable to talk about women. 6 Haruka and others are not exempt from vulgarity. Xue Tong immediately picked up the conversation.

"Well, I saw ...... in Tuomugang that time" Xue Tong thought for a while, and said with some yearning: "The posture is very beautiful!" ”

6 Yao nodded, knowing that Xue Tong was talking about the day after the capture of Guo's Wu Fort, when he sentenced the Guo clan's people to Ming Zhengzheng on Tuomugang. At that time, he was afraid that the female relatives of the Guo family would be frightened, so he specially ordered Xue Tong to come forward and take them away from the scene. I think Xue Tong came to see the girl of the Guo family at that time.

He snorted stupidly, secretly disdainful in his heart: "If you want to talk about appearance, I know much better than you......" This thought startled him. Guo Yongrong is not a suitable object for appreciating appearance...... Many of Guo's relatives died in their own hands, and it was very boring and frivolous to covet the beauty of Guo's girls. 6Haruka waved his hand, driving the thought out of his mind.

Fortunately, Shen Jin's veteran Youzi was not there, Deng Gang and Xue Tong were both rare decent people, and soon the topic turned to other aspects.

6 Yao said without a match, and gradually became a little sleepy.
