The heavy rain finally stopped before dusk, the clear sky dispersed the dark clouds, and the sunset sun shone on the ground.

Wang Hongyi still has time to drink for a while, and he is in good spirits after getting up.

At this time, there were guards rolling up the tent door, and the sun was setting, and the trees were dense and fruitful in the distance.

Fan Liuhai came in to greet him, Wang Hongyi waved his hand and said, "No courtesy, take a seat!"

"Yes!" Fan Liuhai bowed and saluted, and sat down to look at Wang Hongyi.

Wang Hongyi asked, "How is the situation?"

"Yes, the rain is heavy, and all the guards are entangled and killed, and they are scattered, and the ministers have collected the army, counted the number of people, and each has basically reorganized. ”

"Eleven of them suffered heavy losses, especially the first-line Weidu, with losses of more than three-tenths, the following battalions, and even the whole team were destroyed, officers below the rank of lieutenant were killed about 300, and above the captain was killed 23 people and 57 wounded. ”

"The total number of dead and seriously wounded is estimated at seven thousand, and the details will not be reported to the king until tomorrow. Fan Liuhai sat on his knees, his face was ashamed, and said, "Please condemn the king." ”

"Seventy thousand against seventy thousand, completely defeating Xu Wenhui, this is a great achievement...... What about the enemy?"

"The battlefield stretches for twenty miles, and dead bodies, weapons, and horses can be seen everywhere, and the ministers have ordered the battlefield to be cleaned, and according to the military system, the dead of their own side must be collected, and the corpses of the enemy are buried according to the tomb of a hundred people, so as to avoid the occurrence of plague, and these things are dealt with overnight. ”

"The preliminary inventory estimates that there are about 11,000 beheadings, 30,000 prisoners, and some routs fleeing from the battlefield, but it is estimated that there will not be many people who will follow Xu Wenhui, and there are countless materials such as armor and war horses, which cannot be counted at present. ”

Hearing this, Wang Hongyi smiled and said, "You did a good job." ”

As he spoke, Wang Hongyi stood up and looked at the sky from the tent door.

At this time, it was the setting sun, the earth was shrouded in golden sunlight, the mountains in the distance were clothed in the colorful clothes of the sunset, and the clouds in the sky became as bright red as a fire belt.

For a while, Wang Hongyi was silent.

The condensed dragon qi in Yuzhou can no longer be felt, which makes Wang Hongyi very emotional.

Fan Liuhai saw Wang Hongyi standing, didn't dare to sit anymore, got up and stood with his hands down, and after a while, he listened to Wang Hongyi say: "I'm not worried about being re-captured by Xu Wenhui, this battle has broken his spirit, and even if it is closed, it will be a rabble." ”

"But even if Xu Wenhui still has 10,000 remaining troops and nearly 20,000 defeated soldiers, these defeated soldiers are extremely harmful to the nearby people, and you must deal with them first. As for the pursuit of Xu Wenhui, it is enough to send a cavalry. ”

Fan Liuhai listened, his heart suddenly became clear, and he arched his hand and said: "Yes, since ancient times, the rout army is the most harmful, this is a lesson, but the king does not have to worry, these rout soldiers can't go far, just use the cavalry to patrol around, you can make it absorbed." ”

"You're right!" Wang Hongyi listened, his heart was refreshed, and he sighed: "After the battle is over, the Lone Society ordered the secretary of the army to quickly issue a submission document, and ordered all counties and counties in Yuzhou to surrender immediately. ”

Fan Liuhai bowed down and said: "This is a political matter, the minister is a military general, I don't dare to say it in detail, but the king drove the expedition in person, and in one fell swoop, he crossed Xu Wenhui, and now the counties and counties of Yuzhou will hear the wind and descend." ”

"Well, what you said is true, but although this battle is over, your responsibility is not over. ”

"The Hu people's invasion of Youzhou and Erzhou is extremely ferocious, how can it not be alarming!" Wang Hongyi said with a sigh: "Now you can't relax. ”

He bent his finger and said, "Your original 30,000 soldiers are exhausted and have a lot of losses, so they must all be transferred back for repair, and you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds, and you will be given another 30,000 yuan." ”

"This army mobilization, has been prepared, back and forth only half a month, this half a month can completely level Yuzhou, you continue to be a general, lead 30,000 troops, from Yuzhou directly into Xuzhou. ”

"Xuzhou is surrounded by rivers and seas on three sides, and the lonely sailor will attack, and you will control it, ** ten thousand soldiers, and the flowers will bloom on all sides, and it will be completely flat, and Lone will not go. Wang Hongyi said: "Gu led 30,000 forbidden troops and sat in Yuzhou. ”

When Fan Liuhai heard this, he knelt down with a "snap": "Yes, the minister is hereby ordered, please rest assured that the king will level Xuzhou for the king." ”

This time, he was finally completely on his own, and Wang Hongyi stopped picking peaches.

Wang Hongyi smiled and was about to say something, when at this moment, a personal soldier came over and knelt down in front of Wang Hongyi and Fan Liuhai: "King Qiqi, General Wu, the acting commander of Yuce Xiying, has discovered Xu Wenhui's traces and is chasing after him, send a messenger back to report this matter to Wang Shang and General Fan!"

"Wu Xingzong?" Wang Hongyi was slightly stunned, not wanting to find out about Xu Wenhui again.

This Wu Xingzong's capacity is really strong!

There was merit in breaking the army before, and now I have found Xu Wenhui's traces, if the prediction is good, maybe this person can lead five hundred horsemen and capture it.

With such a great achievement, Wang Hongyi, in order to reward and punish strictly, is afraid that at least he will immediately officially increase the official to the commander of Xiying, and remove the two words of this agent - in the blink of an eye, he is a five-rank general!

And this alone is not enough to praise the merits, and it must also be rewarded in other aspects.

However, the thought was only for a moment, and Wang Hongyi was still in a very happy mood: "Have you found Xu Wenhui's traces?

Speaking of this, Wang Hongyi looked at Fan Liuhai: "If you send someone to support again, you can't let Xu Wenhui go!"

"Obey the order!" Fan Liuhai said.

Wang Hongyi nodded and said, "Xu Wenhui will definitely not run far, and he will definitely be captured...... Life or death. ”

"No!" Fan Liuhai hurriedly responded.

Wang Hongyi stared for a moment and said: "Summoning you to discuss matters, let's talk about these things first, you go down and discuss it carefully, and then explain your strategy to Gu Song, sweep Xuzhou, and ......"

Speaking of which, Wang Hongyi has some regrets, now that his strength has reached a certain critical point in sweeping the two states, he is not a tired army, but if it continues, it is likely to be a tired army.

In order to guard against the Hu people, the militarist state must not be tired, and must accumulate enough strength - the heavens are the most private, and the use is the public. The control of the fowl is in the air. The living, the root of death, the dead, the root of life.

In the world, I saw the southern states (provinces), connected together, like a sea of red air, shrouded in this land, in the ocean of red air, a red dragon swam in it.

Originally, Yuzhou, there was a light red gas with reading power, a dragon hovering in it, at this time, the dragon was gone, and the border "boomed" opened a mouth, and suddenly, the red gas rolling in the south gathered into a torrent, led by the red dragon, rushed towards Yuzhou, and the original light red gas was washed by this, and there was no trace immediately.

I saw that in the sky above Yuzhou, the red dragon spit out a few volumes of decrees, suspended in mid-air and unfolded, and the scrolls flashed with golden words, forming a line of laws.

The law order divided many small dragons, bombarded down, and weaved a legal net on Yuzhou.

Wang Hongyi knows that this is to look at the problem from the perspective of luck.

If it is realistic, it is the army and grain of the Chu State that are constantly pouring in, and the officials sent by the imperial court one by one, with the laws of the new dynasty, began to rule Yuzhou.

Counting household registrations, inspecting warehouses, appointing officials, sweeping away thieves, and announcing new laws are all actions that are essentially the same thing as the evolution of luck above.

However, from the perspective of luck, it can be clearly seen that the flood-like red gas poured into Yuzhou, constantly filling the gaps, building a new legal network, and the luck accumulated by the entire Chu State suddenly dropped by about 20%.

If Xuzhou is leveled again, the luck of the whole country will drop to about forty percent in a short period of time, which is very dangerous.

The control of birds is in qi, and there are many examples of ancient wars.

The Battle of Makino, the Battle of Weishui, the Battle of Guandu, and the Battle of a Stone are all the same truth.

In particular, the Battle of the Rivers and the Battle of a Piece of Stone.

The Battle of Weishui - The Northern Regimes Overlapped, and the Former Qin State established by the Di people successively destroyed the Former Yan, Dai, and Qianliang, unified the Yellow River Valley, and captured the Liang and Yi Prefectures of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and expanded its power to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the Han River.

The former Qin Emperor Fu Jian was therefore full of ambition, and wanted to use the momentum of "sweeping the autumn leaves of the wind" to unify the north and south of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop, and launched a series of battles to annex the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and also sent Lü Guang to march into the Western Regions.

As a result, the former Qin was defeated, the 700,000 army fell apart, Fu Jian's hope of unifying the north and the south was completely shattered, and not only that, the countries re-emerged, Fu Jian himself was captured and killed by Yao Chang two years later, and the former Qin perished with it.

After the establishment of the country, it will continue to generate dragon qi through governance, and it will take different times depending on the organization, region, and ethnicity of governance.

As an ethnic minority, the former Qin was not enough to digest the vast area for ten years, and accumulated enough dragon energy, but the result was a complete failure.

The same is true of the Battle of One Stone.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty exhausted the last dragon energy, Li Zicheng drove the exile army to seize Yanjing, establish Dashun, the country has been established, and at this time the surrounding counties have surrendered.

In this case, Li Zicheng should have quickly stabilized the country's capital, accepted the counties, and reorganized the army in order to cultivate dragon qi and confront the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which had been established for 20 years, but Li Zicheng did not want to consolidate it, and personally led the army to Shanhaiguan, but as a result, it was defeated, and Dashun immediately collapsed.

All of the above are all about not understanding the truth of luck, and carrying out large-scale actions with a tired and empty body, the result is that the last trace of dragon qi is exhausted, and it cannot be connected in one breath, and it immediately disintegrates.

Wang Hongyi's system has been established for seven or eight years, and he has seized the south for a year, and he still has some dragon qi in his savings, but if he annexes two major states at once, he will be relatively weak.

Of course, with the current situation of the Chu State, as long as half a year, the new region will be digested, and it will provide the country with new dragon energy, but before that, if you act continuously, it will be "a tired army, a tired country".

Wang Hongyi pondered, Fan Liuhai stood with his hands down, guessing Wang Hongyi's thoughts.

He can also be regarded as a person who has been a dragon for a long time, but in recent years, he has felt more and more that Wang Hongyi is deep and practical, and his fortune is unpredictable.

I saw Wang Hongyi pondering for a long time, came to his senses, and said: "That's the matter, you go down!"

Fan Liuhai bowed his head deeply: "The minister obeys the order!"
