After the Qin army withdrew, it also said that the Qin army fully admitted that the battle had failed, so the Zhao army could also celebrate their victory with peace of mind.

Soon the results of this battle have also been counted, the Zhao army killed a total of more than 39,700 soldiers, more than 23,700 wounded soldiers, of which nearly 10,000 soldiers were seriously wounded, and the reduction of nearly 50,000 people, accounting for nearly one-third of the number of Zhao troops in battle, resulting in the consumption of chariots, war horses, and weapons is also very amazing, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the Zhao army suffered heavy casualties.

However, the results achieved by the Zhao army were also unprecedentedly huge, because after counting the battlefield, a total of more than 58,000 corpses of Qin soldiers were cleaned up, and more than 12,000 Qin soldiers were captured, and this number alone reached more than 70,000 people. And among the withdrawn Qin army, there must still be many wounded soldiers, so the losses of the Qin army are definitely greater than those of the Zhao army.

Of course, victory or defeat is not just about calculating the casualties of both sides, but about whether the pre-war goal is finally achieved. The final result of this war was the defeat of the Qin army, the Zhao army captured the three large villages of the Qin army, and also obtained a large amount of grain and grass military supplies left by the Qin army in the village, and the dilemma of the lack of materials of the Zhao army was also completely solved. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhao Jun has achieved a complete victory.

Although in this battle, there were also some small episodes, such as in these two battlefields, there were some small forces with strong combat effectiveness, and in some local battlefields, some losses were also caused to the Zhao army, such as the cavalry under the plateau lost nearly 300 people in the first battle of the pursuit of the Qin army, you must know that his cavalry did not play much in this battle, and actually lost 10% of the troops, which is also a big loss.

However, these do not affect the overall situation, and on the whole, the fact that the Zhao army defeated the Qin army is absolutely unchanged. Of course, it was also in Li Mu's military career that his prestige also reached its peak. Now there is no doubt that as long as Li Mu is here, the Qin State will not be the invincible number one army in the world.

On the very next day, Yuan Xuan rushed back to Jingcheng with the Zhao army that had attacked Qiu You, and joined Li Mu's army.

This time Yuan Xuan also made a lot of contributions, it was he who led the army to attack Qiu You, so that the Qin army had to return to the rescue, so it weakened the strength of the Qin army, and attacked the Qin army led by Meng Wu halfway, not only achieved a victory, but also made Meng Wu unable to return to Dazhai in a short period of time, which led to the victory of the Zhao army to attack the Qin army. It can be said that if there was no Yuan Xuan's attack, there would be no victory for the Zhao army.

But after Yuan Xuan and Li Mu converged, they didn't have time to celebrate in the camp, because this time Yuan Xuan attacked, almost all the troops stationed in Quyang were exhausted, leaving only 10,000 soldiers to garrison, which was very empty. In case the Qin army sent an army to attack Quyang, although it could not reverse the defeat, it could also cause considerable losses to the Zhao army.

Now Quyang is the foundation of Li Mu, but also the base of logistics supply, although Quyang now has not much military supplies, but there are many Zhao soldiers whose families live in Quyang, so Quyang must not be lost.

So Li Mu also immediately ordered, ordered Yuan Xuan to lead 30,000 troops, immediately rushed back to Quyang to garrison, and also brought back some military supplies, mainly grain and grass, because after the end of the war, other materials can be slowed down, only food is the most urgent material, fortunately, the Qin army's Dazhai has collected a total of more than 800,000 stone of grain, enough for the Zhao army to support about half a year, and now it has been October, most of the autumn harvest of Daijun has been completed, and the people can basically be self-sufficient.

In addition, Li Mu sent Sima Shang to lead 20,000 soldiers to rush back to the Fanwu camp to garrison, because Sima Shang rushed to participate in the decisive battle and brought almost all the troops of the Fanwu camp, and the Fanwu camp was even more empty at this time, with only more than 3,000 wounded soldiers stationed. Although the Fanwu battalion is in the rear, it is impossible not to return to station some troops.

After these armies were dispatched, the strength of the Zhao army in Jingcheng was about 130,000 people, and Li Mu ordered all the wounded soldiers to be sent back to Jingcheng Dazhai first, and the rest of the army temporarily remained in the Qin army's Dazhai.

This time, after defeating the Qin army, Zhao Guo will be able to get at least two or three years of buffer time, so what to do next, Li Mu also has to think about it now.

―――――――― the dividing line――――――――― dividing line―――――――― Wang Jian ordered the Qin army to retreat to Qiu You, Cao Wuxian, Shi Wugong, and Shi Wuwei of course had no ability to stop it, but fortunately, several of them were also very interested, and they did not propose to Wang Jian to stop it, so it also made Wang Jian save some tongue.

At this time, the strength of the Qin army was about 82,000 people, including about 17,000 wounded soldiers and about 5,000 seriously injured soldiers.

Now the Qin army is stationed in Qiuyou with about 70,000 troops, and there are nearly 100,000 people stationed on the way to Qiuyou, originally this group of troops was to defend the Qin army's relief line, but now it is meaningless to garrison on this road, so Wang Jian also decided to bring all the Qin troops stationed along the way back to Qiuyou. In this way, it is estimated that the total number of remaining troops of the Qin army is about 25600000. Together with the army that served as logistical support, the total was about 300,000.

It can be said that the Qin army has lost nearly one-third of its troops, and no matter from what point of view, the Qin army's military operation to attack Zhao basically ended in failure.

Of course, from the perspective of grand strategy, Qin is not without gains, because Yang Duanhe has captured Handan, although this does not change the fact that the Qin army failed, but from a strategic point of view, Qin has still achieved a lot of results, but what to do next, whether to continue to send troops, or to fight Li Mu for a long time, it is not for Wang Jian to consider, it is up to Qin Wangzheng and Xianyang's ministers to decide. Moreover, Wang Jian has also been mentally prepared to accept any disposition results. However, Wang Jian was convinced to lose this battle, after all, Li Mu defeated himself with an absolutely inferior force, and Wang Jian really couldn't find any reason for himself to be unconvinced.

The army walked out of a distance of about fifty miles, and suddenly someone came to report to Wang Jian that Han Teng had already led the army to arrive.

At this time, Wang Jian didn't dare to underestimate Han Teng, so he immediately ordered the army to move slowly, and asked Cao Wuxian and the other three to take his place to greet Han Teng, and he got off the car on the side of the road, spread a straw mat, and prepared to meet Han Teng.

After a while, Han Teng, accompanied by Cao Wuxian and the other three, came to Wang Jian. Wang Jian saw that Han Teng was quite tall, almost eight feet five inches, and his shoulders and chest were much wider than ordinary people, which looked very majestic. At this time, he was not wearing a helmet, his hair was not pulled up, he was scattered on his shoulders from left to right, his eyes were flashing, and he seemed to be full of demonic light.

Seeing Wang Jian, Han Teng knelt down and saluted, and said, "Nanyang guards Han Teng too much, see General Wang." ”

Wang Jian nodded and said, "General Han is exempt." ”

After Han Teng got up, Wang Jiancai said: "This time, General Han broke through Zhangshui with General Yang and captured Handan, which has made a great contribution to my Qin State. ”

Han Teng said: "The general has said that the capture of Handan is not a merit, if it were not for the general to involve Li Mu in Jingcheng, and Guo Kai in Handan City, General Yang and I would not easily occupy Handan." And this time, my Qin State sent troops to destroy the Zhao State, and if you want to destroy the Zhao State, you must first get rid of Li Mu, if Li Mu does not die, the Zhao State will not be destroyed, even if you occupy Handan, it is not happy. ”

Wang Jian heard it in his ears and felt that it was not quite right, was Han Teng ridiculing himself? Before he could speak, Li Xinji on the side couldn't hold his breath and said, "Han Teng, what do you mean by this, do you think you will get carried away after you capture Handan?" ”

Han Teng said lightly: "The last general has no such intentions, he just wants to make a statement to the general, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and now the general will immediately lead the army back to Jingcheng, and he will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory, if the general withdraws the enemy, there will never be a chance to win." ”

Wang Jian stared at Han Teng, and only after half a sound did he say, "Tell me, if I lead the army back to Jingcheng, why should I turn defeat into victory?" ”

Han Teng said: "Although the Zhao army won this battle, its casualties will not be few, and although our army is defeated, it is still far more than the Zhao army in terms of strength, and General Yang has sent troops from Handan to the north at this time, as long as the general can select 100,000 troops, he will return to Jingcheng immediately, and General Yang will attack Li Mu on both sides, and he will be able to win a battle and defeat Li Mu." ”

From the heart, of course, Wang Jian is not willing to fail like this, if there is a chance to turn defeat into victory, of course he will not let it go, but Han Teng's plan is of course feasible if it is before the war, but at this time, it will not work at all, because now the morale of the soldiers on both sides is not on the same level, the Qin army is newly defeated, the morale is low, and the army has no fight, and the Zhao army has just won a big victory, with strong morale and high morale, so even if he brings 100,000 Qin troops, the Zhao army can defeat himself with only 30,000 troops at most, Yang Duanhe's troops only had 50,000 men, so Li Mu was fully capable of dealing with attacks from two directions.

Wang Jian was just about to reject Han Teng's plan, Han Teng said: "The last general is not talented, I am willing to lead the army of my headquarters as the vanguard, and charge into battle for the general, if I can't break through the defense line of the Zhao army, the last general is willing to ask for the crime with death." ”

Wang Jian was stunned for a moment, and looked at Han Teng again, but there was a huge wave in his heart.
