It was not until dawn the next day that the all-out armies returned to the camp one after another, and although Lu Zhi also stayed awake all night, his mental state was surprisingly good, and his complexion was much healthier than before.

Although the various units pursued hard, due to the dilemma of troops and poor preparation, the more than 10 million Yellow Turban troops were captured in the end, and more than 1 million were killed.

In other words, most of the Yellow Turban Army escaped in the end.

However, these people are no longer enough, they have completely lost their organization, their morale has dropped to freezing point, and they have completely lost the ability to coordinate and communicate with each other, and they can be easily eliminated as long as they continue to pursue.

"The last general will complete the task, and I will return to Lu Gong!" After distributing the spoils, the generals went to Lu Zhi with a smile on their faces.

"Hahaha, Yue Wu has worked hard with you!" As soon as he saw Shang Ji and the others, Lu Zhi immediately had a bright smile on his face, and hurriedly walked a few steps to help everyone.

"This battle can defeat the moth thief in one fell swoop, you are in the greatest position, the general has already played your merits to the court, presumably the edict of the reward will arrive soon, you don't have to be impatient!"

"The last general is ashamed that he failed to find the first horn that killed the thief, and he asked Lu Gong to forgive him!" Shang Ji bowed slightly.

"Yue Wu's words are serious, who would have thought that the character of Zhang Jiao would abandon the main force of the Yellow Turban Army and escape alone? This is the old man's carelessness, and it has nothing to do with Yue Wu. ”

Lu Zhi waved his hand and said unconcernedly.

Is Zhang Jiao powerful? Absolutely! With his own strength, he set off a monstrous wave and directly shook the foundation of the Han Dynasty's rule, how can such a character not be powerful?

But without the tens of millions of Yellow Turban troops, no matter how powerful Zhang Jiao is, there is a limit, he has no ability to overthrow the rule of the imperial court. From the macro perspective of the imperial court, Zhang Jiao at this time is not as high as the threat level of Nanfang Bocai, and to deal with Zhang Jiao, the next thing is to be wanted by sea.

"When you return from the battle, the case says that the old man should set up a banquet to celebrate your achievements." Lu Zhi looked apologetic and explained to everyone: "However, now that the war is not over, everything is complicated and complicated, and the celebration banquet invites you to stay for a while, the old man will definitely do what he says and will not break his promise!" ”

"Duke Lu is the world, naturally military affairs are important, Duke Lu is busy, if there is a dispatch, please don't be polite!"

"Hahaha!" Lu Zhi laughed when he heard this, looked at Shang Ji and said with a smile: "What is sent or not, you can go and rest for the time being, just wait for the will of the imperial court!" ”

"The last general will send Lu Gong to him!"

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, this war looks dangerous, but the actual process is very simple, not to mention this great achievement, there is also a huge economic income, how can you not be happy?

Now that the battle situation has been decided, he will sit back and wait for his promotion to make a fortune.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Shang Ji returned to the Liaodong Army camp with the generals of his headquarters, and Qin Ping, who had already received the news, greeted him with the generals who stayed behind.

"The last general congratulates the lord, breaks through Guangzong City, and makes a miraculous achievement!" As soon as they saw Shang Ji, Qin Ping and others congratulated him in unison.

"Haha, please get up, all the gentlemen fought all night, and it was hard work!"

"Serve the Lord, don't dare to say bitterness!"

Returning to the barracks and letting the generals who went out to fight go back to rest, Shang Ji summoned Qin Ping alone.

"Zizheng, how did our army gain in yesterday's battle?"

As soon as he heard Shang Ji ask this, Qin Ping suddenly became excited, and hurriedly took out a booklet and handed it over: "Lord, our army harvested a lot last night, this is the harvest list, please take a look!" ”

Shang Ji took the list and opened it, and the first column was the number of prisoners of war.

"In this battle, our army captured more than 1.8 million prisoners of war, nearly half of whom were third-order prisoners of war, and also captured more than 2,000 Yellow Turban generals above the third rate, 198 second-rate generals, 54 first-class generals, and four super-first-class generals, but they did not capture famous generals (historical generals)!"

Qin Ping took the initiative to explain to Shang Ji on the side.

"Yes, the quantity and quality of the captured prisoners of war are quite good, and the son is doing a good job!"

"Hey, hey!" Qin Ping laughed, and continued: "Thanks to the soldiers' lives, because our army is cavalry, and in the process of capturing prisoners of war, there are incomparable advantages that others can't match, so the prisoners captured this time are not only numerous, but also of high quality.

"Contact General Ling Cao and arrange for all the captives to be escorted to Liaodong as soon as possible."

After Shang Ji finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to this matter, and after several run-ins, he already had a mature plan for escorting the prisoners, and he didn't need extra attention, as long as the order was issued.

Shang Ji turned the booklet to the second page, and Qin Ping said at the right time: "According to the general's order, our army took the opportunity to collect a lot of large equipment such as catapults and bed crossbows abandoned by the Yellow Turban Army. Because of the opinion of Lu Gong, the last general did not dare to be presumptuous, and only harvested 300 bed crossbows and 64 catapults, and these congratulations were now included in the camp. ”

"Has Gong Lu noticed your move?"

Qin Ping hesitated for a moment and said, "The last general is not sure, although the actions are as concealed as possible, with Lu Gong's ability, it is still very likely to discover the small movements of his subordinates." ”

Shang Ji nodded, no longer spoken, almost nine layers of certainty Lu Zhi found the clue, but Qin Ping did not do too much, presumably Lu Zhi would not be too careful, the truth that the water is clear and there is no fish Lu Zhi must understand.

"My lord, in addition to the prisoners of war and the large equipment you ordered to collect, we have also harvested a lot of good things!" Qin Ping smiled smugly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Oh? I'd like to see what the good stuff is! Shang Ji was intrigued by Qin Ping's words, and directly turned the booklet to the next page, only to see that it was written:

"There are more than 18,000 blacksmiths, including 11,000 beginners, more than 4,000 intermediates, more than 2,000 seniors, 560 elites, 79 experts, eight masters, and one grandmaster!"

"There are 1,600 doctors, including 960 junior doctors and ...... intermediate doctors."

"Two thousand nine hundred architects, of whom ......"

"One hundred and thirty-one alchemists, of whom ......"

"Two thousand six hundred Confucian scholars,......

…………………………………………

Shang Ji's pupils shrank suddenly, and he asked with some excitement, "What's the matter with these people?" ”

As a hegemon, Shang Ji currently has two biggest headaches, one is population, but talent!

The demographic problem can also be solved through immigration and encouraging childbearing, but talent is not easy to find. Although Shang Ji invested a lot of money to attract production talents, the effect was not obvious. Low-level production talents play a small role, and high-level people live well there. In this case, why do you have to go to Liaodong, the "land of bitter cold", to suffer?

The self-cultivation cycle is too long, and no obvious effect can be seen in a short period of time.

The list provided by Qin Ping greatly alleviated the dilemma of the lack of production talents in Shangji.

Taking the most important blacksmith as an example, at present, the highest professional level of blacksmiths in Liaodong is still master blacksmith Lu Gui, and this time there are as many as eight master blacksmiths alone, and there is also a national treasure at the grandmaster level, which is really surprising to Shang Ji.

"Lord, most of these people were forcibly captured by moths and thieves, to build weapons and equipment for them to provide logistical support, Guangzong City was broken too suddenly, and the Yellow Turban Army didn't care about them, so they were cheaper!" Qin Ping smiled proudly, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that our soldiers are understaffed, and most of them are still accepted by Duke Lu except for the blacksmith." ”

"Enough! That's enough! No matter how much the Dolu Guild is furious! Shang Ji smiled excitedly, and then ordered: "Take care of them, try to meet any requirements, but they are absolutely not allowed to leave our army camp without permission!" ”

"The last general understands!"

These tens of thousands of various production talents are the biggest harvest of this trip, compared with tens of millions of gold coins, grains and grass, etc., immediately eclipsed.
