Gao Yuan is not wrong at all, the clean-up work in Xianyang City is indeed not easy, because it is to refill the damaged long street, it took two months, as for the bombed city wall of the royal city, as well as the palace buildings destroyed in the palace of the king of Qin, there is no reconstruction at all, the gap in the city wall of the royal city is temporarily blocked by a wooden fence wall, and the destroyed palace building can only be cleaned of rubble, just empty.

Of course, the slow progress of the restoration and reconstruction work in Xianyang City is also related to the fact that Gao Yuan and Hehua did not order the recruitment of civilian labor to restore Xianyang, but chose to recuperate and reduce light labor.

Because this battle caused considerable damage to Xianyang, half of the entire long street was destroyed, and all the houses within a hundred paces on both sides of the long street were also destroyed, and the houses between 100 and 200 steps were also damaged by different steps, and a large number of residents were also affected by the pond fish in the battle, and there were also countless casualties.

Although it is impossible to fully count the detailed figures, it is possible to count at least 300 to 400 houses destroyed, and the total number of damaged houses is not much worse, if not 1,000. More than 20,000 residents died and more than 18,000 were injured. Under such circumstances, the top priority is to stabilize people's hearts and minds and appease the people, rather than building and rebuilding.

Although the loss of the Qin Palace, the destroyed city wall reached 53 steps, the palace counted 17, and the number of women and servants in the palace reached more than 600 people, including some concubines of Qin Wangzheng.

However, the dead women and servants did not die in the destroyed palace, but were killed by the evacuated Jiuli army. Originally, after Han Teng led the army to raid Xianyang, he had been living in the palace, although he killed all the children of Qin Wangzheng, but there was no violation of Qin Wangzheng's concubines, as well as other women and servants, but only restricted their activities in the palace. Moreover, there were not many troops of the Jiuli tribe, and even fewer troops stationed in the palace, so the palace of King Qin was relatively safe.

But the battle between Han Teng and Gao Yuan and Hehua escalated infinitely, and the army of the Jiuli tribe couldn't even stay on the city wall, so they could only retreat to the palace and wait, but soon after, Jin Changdou and Mu Tuoshan carried the unconscious Han Teng, as well as the patriarchs of the three clans, and announced to the whole army that the battle had been lost, and the army of the Jiuli tribe immediately withdrew from the palace and fled from Xianyang.

This suddenly made the whole army feel moved, because all the hopes of the Jiuli clan were pinned on Han Teng's body, and now Han Teng was defeated by the plateau, and now he is unconscious, and his spiritual pillar suddenly collapsed, so he hurriedly retreated from the palace, but in the process of retreating, it was not so good, due to the collapse of the psychological pillar, so many soldiers needed to vent, and they could only take the palace servants and women to vent, and killed a lot of people indiscriminately, and smashed some things. Fortunately, the army of the Jiuli clan did not dare to stay in the palace for a long time, so it did not cause more damage to the palace. Compared to the outside of the palace, it is much better.

After the Han and Qin coalition troops entered the palace, they were not hindered at all, and they took control of the palace very smoothly, and at this time, there were still thousands of women and servants in the Qin palace, all of whom stayed in the palace to listen to them, and there were more than 20 concubines of Qin Wangzheng, all of whom were also supported as usual, and Hehua also greeted them one by one. Because of the relationship with Hehua, the hearts of the people in the palace quickly settled down, after all, Hehua is still the princess of Qin, and with her in the palace, the women and servants in the Qin palace are naturally at ease.

In the afternoon of the same day, some residents of Xianyang City saw that there was really nothing going on in the city, so they had the courage to return to the city to live, and it would be easy for someone to take the lead, and the residents all returned to their homes, and overnight, most of the residents returned from outside the city.

However, because hundreds of houses were destroyed and a large number of houses were damaged in Xianyang City, many people still returned to the city to find themselves homeless. But the army would pitch tents in the ruins for them to live in.

By the next day, basically all the residents outside the city returned to Xianyang City, and Gao Yuan also issued an order, ordering Meng Tian and Meng Yi to take responsibility for maintaining order in Xianyang City, sheltering homeless residents, and cleaning up the positions after the battle.

The residents of Xianyang City were also very happy when they learned about it, although they were a little frightened, but most of the ordinary people did not know what was going on, and getting a one-year tax exemption and exemption from military service was a lot of income for the vast majority of ordinary people. Since this order was issued in the name of Hehua, Hehua was already very popular in the eyes of the Qin people, and he was even more grateful at this time, so many people even came to the palace to thank him. The palace guards comforted them with kind words, but neither the plateau nor the Howara showed up.

In fact, at this time, it is a good time to win the hearts of the people of Xianyang, the plateau and Hehua are all modern people, so naturally they will not miss such an opportunity, but now the plateau and Hehua are not in Xianyang City, but lead the army to pursue the Jiuli tribe.

Originally, according to common sense, the situation was not stable in Xianyang, so at this time, Gao Yuan and Hehua should not leave Xianyang, but should stay in charge of the situation, stabilize people's hearts, consolidate the control of Xianyang, and stabilize the situation in Xianyang. Even if you want to pursue the Jiuli clan and send a general to lead the army, there is really no need to go out in person, at least you should leave someone in Xianyang City.

But Gao Yuan took into account that although the number of this Jiuli army is not large, its strength should not be underestimated, because although Han Teng was seriously injured, he did not die, his strength is even more of a big trouble, keeping such an army must be a big trouble, in case this army rushes to Handan to help the war, it is even more dangerous, and it is impossible not to guard against it, and Feng Bo and Yushi would rather blow themselves up and die, but also to protect Han Teng, so that Gao Yuan faintly has a feeling that this matter is not so simple. Therefore, it is necessary to take advantage of the defeat of the Jiuli clan and Han Teng's injury to send troops to pursue, completely defeat the army of the Jiuli clan, and kill Han Teng, so as to prevent future troubles forever.

And the army of the Jiuli tribe has just been evacuated from Xianyang, and it is not far away, the Han and Qin coalition forces have brought a lot of cavalry and a large number of war horses this time, although it has been a day late, but if you immediately send troops to pursue, you will definitely be able to catch up with the army of the Jiuli tribe, but although Han Teng is injured, his strength still cannot be underestimated, unless it is Zisi and Hehua joining forces, there is an absolute certainty of defeating Han Teng, even if it is against Han Teng alone, the victory or defeat is only between five and five, and the others against Han Teng are basically a dead end. Therefore, in order to pursue the Jiuli tribe, it is necessary for Gao Yuan and Hehua to be dispatched at the same time.

Although Xianyang City had just been captured, when the Jiuli clan ruled Xianyang, they wantonly slaughtered the clans of the Qin State and killed all the children of the Qin Wangzheng, which actually swept away the Qin forces in Xianyang City. Moreover, when Gao Yuan and Hehua left Xianyang, Meng Tian and Meng Yi were left to preside over the overall situation of Xianyang, and Meng Tian and Meng Yi were both important ministers of the Qin State and had a lot of prestige in Xianyang, so after making these arrangements, Gao Yuan and Hehua could also leave Xianyang with confidence and pursue the army of the Jiuli tribe.

Although the Jiuli army had fled for a day, they were basically infantry, with only a few chariots and no cavalry, so the speed of the march was not fast. The pursuing army led by Gao Yuan and Hehua is a full cavalry army, even the infantry is equipped with war horses, and it is also a person with two horses, and the speed of the march is much faster than that of the Jiuli tribe, and the direction of the army will leave a large number of traces, which is easy to track.

After a day and a night of close pursuit, the troops of Gao Yuan and Hehua finally caught up with the army of the Jiuli tribe, and after a little repair, they immediately launched an attack on the army of the Jiuli tribe.

Although the army of the Jiuli tribe was defeated, the strength of the army in Xianyang City did not suffer any losses, and the pursuing Han army was only 15,000 men and horses, the actual strength of the two sides was roughly the same, but the combat effectiveness of the army of the Jiuli tribe was stronger, and there were still 5,000 Nanyang troops.

But now the morale of the two sides is not on the same level, the army of the Jiuli tribe is the general of the defeated army without fighting spirit, while the Han army is high morale, and there are plateau and Hehua two people personally led the team, in Xianyang City, the two of them joined forces to fight Han Teng, the soldiers of the Han army can see very clearly, at this time naturally there is no fear, immediately everyone is brave, to the Jiuli army rushed to kill.

As a result, the heavy armored cavalry of the Han army took the lead in a burst of killing, and immediately killed the Jiuli army into chaos, and then the light cavalry followed up and killed from both sides, and before the infantry army that dismounted to fight came up, it had already killed the Jiuli army, so the whole battle was completely one-sided, and it became a unilateral massacre of the Jiuli army by the Han army.

At this time, the army of the Jiuli tribe had no intention of fighting at all, and they were scattered and fled, but because the army of the Jiuli tribe was basically a foot army, it was impossible to outrun the cavalry, so many soldiers of the Jiuli tribe were chased and killed by the Han cavalry when they fled.

The whole battle lasted less than an hour, and the Jiuli army was completely defeated, and more than 10,000 people were killed by the Han army, and more than 1,000 people were captured, and less than 3,000 Jiuli soldiers escaped. However, in the whole battle, Gao Yuan and Hehua did not make a move, because they did not find Han Teng's whereabouts, and later interrogated the prisoners to know that it turned out that just last night, Han Teng, Jin Changdou, and Mu Tuoshan had disappeared, but they left a letter to let the Jiuli army immediately retreat into the clan.
