The east is white, the morning glow is everywhere, and the morning light is shining in the wilderness, reflecting figures and the ground is messy. The east and west armies fought a decisive battle for a day and a night, and finally the dust settled.

The Eastern Army was defeated, with bodies and baggage scattered for more than ten miles. Except for those who were not killed in battle, most of the infantry were captured, and most of the cavalry with more than half of the casualties escaped. Relatively speaking, the Western Army suffered less casualties.

The pursuit of the Western Army soldiers lasted overnight and did not return until dawn. The wilderness was filled with soldiers escorting prisoners, slowly approaching towards their own formation.

The returned Western army was the most conspicuous of the barbarians. They happily escorted the prisoners and drove more than a dozen carriages, full of money, supplies and heads, which was a great harvest.

As the saying goes, "The victorious cat is better than the tiger." The barbarians, who are smiling, are immersed in the joy of beating the dogs in the water, are in a very good mood, completely forgetting the ugly situation of their great defeat at noon yesterday.

If we follow the rules of the parody, whoever grabs these spoils will be whoever takes them. However, this time it is different. Everyone is following the official army to fight, and the rules are much stricter.

The King of Xiyang said that no competition for merit was allowed, and the spoils and heads should be distributed uniformly, so the leader of the barbarian soldier who was eager to redeem the merits and repeatedly prohibited his subordinates from embezzling money, silk and materials and snatching the heads.

The King of Xiyang has always been clear in rewards and punishments. The leaders did not want to be in trouble, so they just waited for a while to reward merits. The official army has strictly prohibited abuse and killed prisoners indiscriminately, so the barbarians have a pretty good attitude towards prisoners.

Using ropes that had been prepared long ago, one of the prisoners tied up and strung them together. A team of twenty prisoners rushed westward. Looking up, there were such a team everywhere in the wilderness, and many pack horses and war horses were driven back to their own formation by Western soldiers.

The sound of horse hooves was approaching, and cavalry chasing the enemy returned one after another. There were many bloody heads hanging on the saddle of each horse. The barbarians leaned aside in fear, allowing these killing gods who smelled bloody smell of people and horses to pass through.

The cavalry who pursued the enemy soldiers for one night were exhausted. They made great achievements in this battle. They chased for more than twenty miles and almost killed all the defeated soldiers. However, the heads of the generals above the commander-general were cut off a lot. When the captains proved the heads, they would be included in the great merits.

Of course, the number of heads cut down cannot be counted on them. Thanks to the whole army's concerted efforts to kill the enemy. In the end, the commander needed to preside over justice. The King of Xiyang has always been fair and does not need to worry about his credit being taken away, so the cavalry were in a good mood.

A large amount of smoke was raised from the central army's main lineup. The chefs were preparing for food and hot water. When they thought that they could eat hot food later, drink hot soup, and wash their faces with hot water, the returned soldiers were a little faster.

On the back of the central army, beside the newly dug well, the young and strong men tried hard to pump water and carried the cool well water to the kitchen chariots. The field kitchen chariots were lined up, and the chefs were busy boiling water and cooking.

The officers won the battle, and the young and strong men were always worried. They were in a good mood and were full of enthusiasm when they did their jobs. After all, if the officers won, they would not have any worries about their lives.

The dining cloth spread on the ground was filled with a large number of foods such as cooking cakes, ham, sausage, salted eggs, meat floss and other foods brought from the baggage truck. After it was hot, it would be served with a long dragon-like food table to supply it to the soldiers of the army.

Wang Yuwen of Xiyang was inspecting the preparations for food at this time. He checked the quality of millet, wheat and rice from time to time, listened to the reports of military officials to see if anyone dared to use inferior products as good ones.

The soldiers who are fighting on the battlefield must not eat sand-stirred food. The rice cannot be moldy or black-shaped bad rice, ham, meat floss, sausages, salted eggs, and if it is moldy, it must be thrown away. You cannot just give it to the soldiers.

Not to mention that when men cook porridge, they must have enough rice. The cooked porridge must be thick enough to be inserted into chopsticks and not overturned. If anyone dares to fool Yuwen Wen, Yuwen Wen will kill someone to serve as a warning.

This is the case on the front line and the rear. Yuwen Wen's delegation has a dedicated person to supervise military food, responsible for counting the "refunded rate" of food. If any workshop found that the "refunded rate" of ham, meat floss, sausages, and salted eggs made by the "refunded rate" exceeds the standard, the Huangzhou government will find the relevant responsible person to settle the score.

In order to support workshops in various places of Huangzhou General Administration and expand "employment", Yuwen Wen did not hesitate to purchase military supplies from various workshops through paid procurement. The large-scale purchases lasted for more than a year, which brought wealth to workshop owners in various places, and caused the government's military expenditure to rise sharply.

In order to raise huge military expenses, Yuwen Wen has already used the killer weapon of issuing over-issuing circulation coupons. At this time, if there are still profiteers who dare to fool the official army with inferior products, he will have to borrow the heads.

After inspecting the dietary preparations, he went around the medical camp next to him and talked to the wounded soldiers for a while. Yuwen Wen returned to the Central Military Office with a hot pancake and a bowl of salted egg porridge.

Chief Wei Xuan is issuing orders to the military officers. He has won a great victory and there are still many things to do aftermath, such as taking care of the prisoners, counting spoils, counting military achievements, etc. The matters are complicated and we must not delay.

Although there are many things to do, it is not a problem for Wei Xuan. After all, he is not a "clear stream" who only knows how to talk about it. As the marshal, chief of the marshal, not only serves as the military supervisor, but also has to serve as the chief of staff to handle military affairs of all sizes and big.

Yuwen Wen was happy to have such a capable person in charge of military affairs. Although he did not participate in pursuing the enemy soldiers, he also had no sleep all night. First, the joy of victory made him excited and unable to fall asleep. Second, he had a dream while taking a nap. The dream was too terrifying, so he couldn't do it later.

In order to prevent him from pursuing the defeated soldiers, Wei Xuan said the four words "Which sword is like water". In the original history, this was a poem written by Zhou Bangyan, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty. It was the resentment of a cuckold man, so Yuwen Wen was distorted.

When Yuwen was thinking about something on the day and dreamed about something on the night, he had a cuckold dream when he was napping.

He dreamed that he could not change anything. That year, Yuchi Chifan, who entered the palace, was drunk by Yuwen Yun and occupied it. Faced with the supreme imperial power, Yuchi Chifan surrendered, and he also surrendered.

Every few days, Yuchi Chifan would be ordered to enter the palace by the order, and he would stay in the palace for a few days as soon as he went back. When he came back, his legs were weak and he couldn't even close and could not even walk. However, he, the cuckold man, could only hold his head and cried with his wife, and was unable to change anything.

This humiliating dream was too exciting, which made Yu Wenwen feel energetic and in a very bad mood. It lasted about half an hour before he returned to normal.

Although history has changed with his own efforts, Yuwen Wen still has a knot in his heart. Yuchi Chifan is far away in Yecheng, and he feels a little sad every time he thinks of this.

He didn't know if the princess would be forced to remarry by his mother's family, and if the princess would be forced to get along with others in order to protect the prince, Yuchi Chifan would not be able to get peace in his heart for a day.

Before we knew it, it was noon. The preliminary results were recorded. The official army (Yuwen family) won a great victory in this battle and seized a large amount of food, grass and supplies. The enemy army was almost wiped out except for a small number of cavalry.

In this battle, 79 generals above the commander general were won, and one of the ten major generals of the enemy was not yet available. Among the generals who jumped out, the commander Yuchi Youqi.

According to the prisoners, when his left army was defeated, Yuchi Youqi concentrated his cavalry to detour, and then he wanted to cover the left wing of the official army. However, he was defeated by the prepared left army. Seeing that the situation was not good, his troops fled with Yuchi Youqi.

Because he escaped quickly, the left cavalry struggled to chase him until dawn and failed to catch up, so he ran away.

Unable to capture Yuchi Youqi alive, Yuwen Wen's hostage exchange plan failed. Although he felt a little disappointed, he quickly resolved his negative emotions, because this war was indeed a great victory.

The Yuchi family’s field force in Huaibei is over!

Amidst the laughter and joy, Yuwen Wen looked east. He was not looking at Woyang, but towards Xuzhou further east.
Chapter completed!
