"Zhang Yan is seriously injured, has he been sent to the customs for treatment at this moment?"

Hearing Li Li's sudden interjection, Guo Jia was immediately silenced, and then turned his head to look at Jia Xu.

When Jia Xu heard this, he responded: "My lord, this matter has been arranged, and General Zhang Yan will be taken to the customs for treatment at dawn." According to the doctors, although General Zhang was seriously injured, he did not hurt the vital point, and he could recover after a month of rest. ”

"Well, that's fine." Li Li said.

Immediately, he sighed with deep feelings: "In this decisive battle, the Montenegrin army made great contributions and paid huge casualties for it, which really made me unbearable. He ordered the soldiers to try their best to recover the remains of the Montenegrin Army, and buried them on the northern slope with the fallen soldiers of our army. After the war, a monument was erected to build the Loudiyuan Battle Cemetery, and the Son of Heaven personally came to pay tribute and mourn to comfort the souls of the fallen soldiers in this battle. ”

"Including the Allied Dead?" Jia Xu asked.

Li Li's expression moved slightly when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he bowed his head slightly and said: "Let's bury together, we are born enemies, and everything will rest after death, so why worry too much." ”

Guo Jia, Xu Chu and others were moved when they heard this, Jia Xu happily waved his hands and said respectfully: "The lord is wise, and Weichen will then start to deal with this matter." ”

"Hmm." Li Li nodded lightly and said thoughtfully: "Now that the weather is getting warmer, the bodies of the fallen soldiers should not be left for a long time, and they should be buried as much as possible; Otherwise, a plague will breed and harm the innocent. Therefore, those who can find all the corpses can be buried and the rest burned, and the original battlefield of Loudi will be cleaned up within five days as much as possible. As for the construction of the mausoleum, it will be handled by Wen He and Yuan Zhong together, and it must be completed within two months. At that time, I will personally pay tribute to the fallen soldiers of our army, and then the Son of Heaven will lead hundreds of officials to pay tribute. ”

Jia Xu was shocked, and said in a low voice: "Isn't there another meaning to the lord's move?" It is against etiquette to invite the Son of Heaven to come to mourn. If all the officials of the court and the central government are allowed to come to pay respects, there are some teachers who have moved the people, and I am afraid that they will be criticized. ”

Li Li shook his head lightly and said in a deep voice: "This time, the princes of the Central Plains have united to be my enemy, and now the battle situation has been decided, but this matter is far from over. These self-defeating princes dared to join forces to crusade against me, and they must have been prepared for defeat in advance. And always ready to pay for it. In that case, how could I unreasonably refuse their kindness?

When the Son of Heaven comes to offer sacrifices to the spirits, he will proclaim it to the world. denounce these rebels and thieves. Only in this way can we live up to the bloody battle we have waited for for ten months. I want all the princes in the world to know that not all cats and dogs can shout in front of me Li Li, and if you are an enemy of me, you must have the consciousness of defeat. And pay for it! ”

"Ugh!" Jia Xu and Guo Jia were stunned when they heard this. Then they glanced at each other, and happily bowed: "I see, the lord is wise!" ”

Li Li bowed slightly, raised his hand to signal that the two of them did not need to be polite, and then the words changed sharply: "Feng Xiao continued to talk about what casualties our army still had, as well as the battle damage of the princes and allies. Look at what kind of results our army has achieved in exchange for such a huge price of casualties. ”

Guo Jia nodded in response: "When the pit collapsed, except for the Black Mountain Army, it suffered heavy losses. More than 3,000 people from the Jinyi Guard Battalion were also trapped, and then more than 4,000 cavalry from the Shuofeng Battalion, more than 2,000 cavalry from the Longxiang Battalion, and 3,000 cavalry from the Flying Bear Battalion also fell into the pit. A total of more than 13,000 cavalry casualties. Therefore, up to now, our army has suffered a total of 130,000 casualties, and this does not include the casualties of the 20,000 reinforcements led by the two generals Zhao Yun and Xu Huang. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Jia's tone paused, then he turned his gaze to the Feiyundu Pass, and continued: "Right now, the reason why a large number of allied troops are stranded in the direction of Feiyundu is precisely because the 15,000 cavalry led by General Xu Huang are still fighting, and they have not yet led their troops to retreat. If it weren't for that, I'm afraid that the allies would have already fled from Feiyundu and went straight to the Xingyang camp. However, General Pang De has now led the Qinglong Battalion to aid Feiyundu, and General Li Zheng has also led the Longxiang Battalion to pursue it, so that even if General Xu Huang's troops have been damaged, they will not suffer too many casualties. ”

Li Li's jaw interjected: "I see. I asked why Zhao Yun's department only had 5,000 men and horses to raid the camp, and it turned out that the other 15,000 troops were all blocked in Feiyundu and could not get out. ”

"Exactly." Guo Jia continued: "According to the original plan, Zhao Yun led 15,000 men to attack the Allied camp, while General Xu Huang led 5,000 soldiers and horses to drag the enemy army in Feiyundu. However, the plan could not catch up with the changes, and Yuan Shao stationed more than 30,000 troops in Feiyundu, the purpose of which was to prevent General Xu Rong from sending troops to attack the rear of the Allied army, so that when Zhao Yun and Xu Huang led an army of 20,000 to raid, they encountered the stubborn resistance of the Feiyundu army. As a last resort, General Zhao Yun had to lead 5,000 light cavalry to break through the enemy formation, and then raid the camp; General Xu Huang led the remaining 15,000 soldiers and horses to fight against the Feiyundu army led by Xin Ping and Xin Bi brothers, and fought fiercely from dawn to the present. ”

After Jia Xu heard this, he said: "Yuan Shao gathered heavy troops in Feiyundutun, which is expected. Loudi Yuan is adjacent to the Yellow River in the north, and the mountains are in the south, and the only thing to worry about is the direction of Feiyundu in the east, which is defended by Yuan Shao. It is precisely because of this that in this decisive battle, the allies dared to go out and start a desperate battle with our army. It's a pity that Yuan Shao made a lot of calculations but didn't expect that General Zhao Yun was unstoppable, leading 5,000 war cavalry to break through the Feiyun Pass, and then went straight to Yuanmen to kill.

This made Yuan Shao mistakenly believe that Feiyundu had been lost and the allies had lost their way to retreat, which prompted him to abandon the camp and flee in a hurry.

Looking back now, looking at this decisive battle, the allies were a little wronged, and they lost all the games with one wrong step. Our army won a fluke, and the key to victory was that the Montenegrin army defected to the battlefield and completely disrupted the Allied position in one fell swoop, which led to a series of mistakes by the Allied army, and then a great defeat and collapse. ”

Li Li bowed his head happily with empathy: "What Wen He said is extremely true. The frontal decisive battle is different from ordinary warfare, and many strategies and shady conspiracies and tricks have nothing to hide, and the two armies are fighting for strength and overall combat effectiveness, and other means have nothing to do with the overall situation, nor can they determine the success or failure of the decisive battle. Even so. This time, our army and the allies also have their own killer weapons, the killer weapon of the allies is the pit killing array, and the killer weapon of our army is one bright and one dark. In the open place is the 20,000 reinforcements of Zhao Yun and Xu Huang, and what has been hidden in the dark is the Black Mountain Army.

In contrast, the Allies' killer weapon was even more powerful, and it almost killed our army. Helplessly, people are not as good as heaven, Yuan Shao's carefully designed killing methods finally failed to kill my Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but instead killed more than 100,000 Allied soldiers. As a result, the allied forces of the princes with absolute superiority in military strength were defeated and fled. This is really: do not do to others what you do not want to do to others, and harm others will eventually harm yourself! ”

"The lord is very good!" Guo Jia echoed: "This decisive battle. Yuan Shao never thought about defeating our army on the frontal battlefield from the beginning, but spent all his energy on the pit. Therefore, when Zhang Yan led the Montenegrin army to defect, Yuan Shao panicked. I can't do it at all, and I won't be surprised everywhere. Unable to deal with the upheaval calmly, he only thought about getting rid of Zhang Yan and the Montenegrin Army as soon as possible, and mistakenly lured the Montenegrin Army into the hinterland of the rear army. It was this wrong step that caused the entire battle situation to undergo irreversible drastic changes, and finally led to a crushing defeat for the Allied forces, and the pit killing array did not achieve the expected effect, instead of destroying our army's war cavalry in one fell swoop, it killed more than half of the main Allied forces. exacerbated the defeat of the Allies.

At the same time, the lord went to danger himself. Li Daitao's method of replacing the handsome flag, as well as the subsequent stone-throwing asking for directions, are all stroke of genius. If not, I am afraid that our army's war cavalry is very likely to be ambushed by the pit killing array in one fell swoop, thus suffering an unprecedented defeat, and even burying the entire good situation. If Yuan Shao's conspiracy succeeds, then our Western Liang Army will become far away from the Central Plains, and it is unknown whether it can recover its vitality within five years.

After all, our Xiliang Army is different from the past. In the past, the Wuwei army led by the lord could grow rapidly in a very short period of time, from tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to 300,000 soldiers, because Dong Zhuo seized the money, food and ordnance accumulated by the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and these accumulations eventually fell into the hands of the lord. However, if our army suffers heavy losses this time, it is wishful thinking to recruit 100,000 iron horsemen in a short period of time, and it is completely impossible. Because we have emptied the treasury, the grain and grass have been exhausted, and we are now a big family, and with it, the expenditure is even greater, and it is impossible to use all the money and grain for recruitment.

Therefore, the battle of Loudiyuan can be called a battle that decided the fate of our Xiliang army, but fortunately we won in the end. And this battle will completely change the situation of our army trapped in a corner of Xiliang, extend the sphere of influence of our army to the states of the Central Plains, and truly become the largest force in the world, and the lord will also become the overlord above all the princes, which is enough to be proud of the others! ”

Li Li shook his head lightly when he heard this, and said with a smile: "What overlord, what arrogant is just a false name, I, Li Li, am not the overlord of Chu who sells his reputation and reputation, he has the name of an overlord, but in the end he has become a stepping stone for others to achieve the emperor's cause." After this battle, although the princes of the Central Plains suffered heavy losses, their foundation is still there, and they will definitely make a comeback in time. Therefore, it is too early to think about claiming the throne and hegemony, and only after completely eliminating the princes of the Central Plains can it be regarded as getting rid of the great troubles of the henchmen, and only then can it be qualified to mention the imperial hegemony. ”

After a pause in his voice, Li Li chuckled and said, "Fengxiao still talks about the losses of the princes of the allies, so that I can make an accurate judgment on the situation in the Central Plains, which is the top priority!" ”

Guo Jia nodded when he heard this, and said with a straight face: "According to the scout report, the princes of all walks of life who are on the run at this moment have suffered heavy losses in their soldiers and horses. Long before the decisive battle, Chen Liuzhang Miao was beheaded by General Zilong, and the princes of this road perished, and the Baibo army was exterminated by our army in Hedong County, making the original princes of the Nine Roads reduced to the Seven Roads. In this battle, the 50,000 army led by Liu Bei in Xuzhou was less than 10,000 soldiers, and Lu Bu, who had an army of 70,000, only had more than 20,000 foot cavalry at the moment, and 80,000 Cao troops were killed and wounded.

Originally, Yuan Shao's strength was the strongest among the princes and alliances, with an army of 150,000 at the beginning of the alliance, and later tens of thousands of heavy troops were mobilized in Hedong and Hanoi counties, responsible for escorting grain and grass, with a total strength of 200,000. However, after this battle, Yuan Shao was defeated and fled, with more than 10,000 men and horses around him, plus the Tun army of Feiyundu and the subsequent fleeing rout, at best there were only 40,000 remnants of the army.

Before the decisive battle, there were as many as 360,000 allied troops on the main battlefield of Loudi, plus more than 30,000 troops from Feiyundu and 20,000 soldiers and horses left behind in the camp, with a total strength of no less than 400,000. However, under the First World War, the remnants of the princes of all walks of life are now less than 150,000, and the remaining 260,000 troops are on this Loudiyuan battlefield. Among them, less than 100,000 Allied troops were actually killed on the battlefield, and no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses were buried in the pit, and most of the remaining 60,000 or 70,000 remnants had been captured, and the rest were still on the run.

Therefore, among the princes who are fleeing at the moment, Cao Cao has the most soldiers and horses in his hands, with 60,000 horses, followed by Yuan Shao and Lu Bu. However, if the soldiers and horses of Hedong and Hanoi counties are also included, there are still nearly 100,000 horses under Yuan Shao's command, but the 50,000 or 60,000 Yuan troops are now in the hands of Zhang Yang and Sun Ce.

It is worth noting that Hanoi Zhang Yang had officially taken refuge with Yuan Shao as early as last year, so the two counties of Hedong and Hanoi were actually under Zhang Yang's control; And Jiangdong Sun Ce is not good at stubble, since joining the alliance, he has been recruiting troops and horses, left and right, has already expanded the number of soldiers and horses to 30,000 or 40,000 people, after Yuan Shao forcibly detained 15,000 soldiers and horses, he still has 20,000 or 30,000 horses under his account. Therefore, the two counties of Hedong and Hanoi gathered seventy or eighty thousand troops at this moment, which were in the hands of Zhang Yang, Sun Ce and Jiang Qi. ”

"Huh, Hedong County?" Li Li sighed deeply, then raised his eyes to the north, and said thoughtfully: "Presumably Gongjin should have led his troops to Hedong last night, I don't know what the current battle situation is?" Alas, Gong Jin and Sun Ce still met after all, I hope Gong Jin will live up to the trust??????"
