Chapter 79 Conspiracy between the monarch and his subjects

It took two days to calculate the results of the battle. In this battle, a total of 15,000 people were beheaded. Some of the corpses had been mutilated and were difficult to identify. It was estimated that there were about 2,000 people. Another number was surrendered.

The Di army numbered 6,000 and rescued 20,000 male and female slaves. They were able to escape safely back to Shanggui.

There were only less than 7,000 horsemen. Pu Hong had been completely crippled, and it would be difficult to make a comeback. Although it was a complete victory, the Liangzhou Army also lost nearly 6,000 people in this battle! They were seriously injured or even disabled.

It was more than 2,000! For Liangzhou, which had a small population, it was a heavy loss.

However, we gained a lot in terms of trophies. Nearly 30,000 war horses were seized. Other materials such as swords, guns, bows and arrows were piled up in mountains. Some of them also contained precious documents, such as the correspondence between Pu Hong and You Ziyuan, etc.

The analysis and judgment of Zhao Guo's trends is of great value.

What is surprising is that a large amount of gold and silver was found in the Puhong camp, including two thousand kilograms of gold (for Wang Mang and the Eastern Han, Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties, one kilogram was equal to 222.73 grams), and thirty thousand ingots of silver cakes weighing one kilogram.

And a small amount of five baht! This made Zhang Lingyun a little confused. Why bring so much money to fight? It is not too burdensome. I can’t figure it out, and soon

She didn't want to think about it anymore, no matter what, it was just real money, and she was overjoyed. You know, this battle alone would cost tens of millions of five bahts just to provide pensions for the dead and wounded soldiers, and another

Countless amounts of grain and grass were lost. It would be a good idea now that Pu Hong would pay for it all, and the excess could be used to replenish the treasury or to purchase grain from the Western Regions.

However, while she was happy, there was also a headache for her, that is, Pu Hong left behind more than 20 concubines, all of them were as beautiful as flowers, young and beautiful. Originally, this was not a problem, and they were given to each of them for their merits.

The general is. But Yunfeng is watching from the side. Zhang Lingyun knows that this man respects women.

The most disgusting thing is that women are sent here and there as goods. If they are really separated, they will definitely fall out with themselves, and they will be scolded again. There is no other way, Zhang Lingyun had to raise it by herself. Fortunately, there are not many people, so it is enough for the time being.

Being used as a maid made all the generals disappointed, but there was nothing they could do.

This time, Zhang Lingyun unceremoniously took 60% of the loot distribution, except for the part that should be handed over to the treasury! She felt that in the entire two-month battle, Yunfeng should have made the greatest contribution, but those who participated in the distribution

There are too many people, even if everyone is equal, Yunfeng won’t be able to get much.

It was extremely disproportionate to his achievements. But if Yunfeng had taken the big share at that time, it would have easily aroused the jealousy of others, so he simply took a cruel step and put it into his pocket first, and then secretly gave it to Yunfeng after he returned.

Feng. Anyway, as the commander-in-chief of the army, naturally no one dares to have any dissatisfaction.

In the early morning of the third day after the war, the day of separation finally came. Yao Jing will follow Yao Yisheng back to Nan'an. The little Loli cried like a tearful person and stayed tightly in Yunfeng's arms without letting go.

, as if this time I will never see her again.

Like a beloved lover, she cried until she was sad. Even Zhang Lingyun, who came to see her off, felt a little sad. Yunfeng tried to talk to her, but it had no effect at all. Looking at Yao Yisheng with a bitter look on his face, his heart suddenly trembled and he praised her.

Yao Jing pear belt

The handsome face like rain kissed her hard in front of thousands of people! Everyone was stunned! This man and woman were simply immoral and shameless! However, Yunfeng didn't care and went his own way, and Yao Jing was even more dissatisfied.

Care. After a long time, the two lips slowly parted. Yao Jing's mood was obviously more stable. Yunfeng quickly seized the opportunity to comfort her and once again promised to visit her after he was busy for a while. Finally, he finally

Yao Jing persuaded her to get on the horse.

Seeing the little Lolita who had been with him day and night for nearly two months gradually disappear from sight, Yunfeng felt very uncomfortable and became very depressed. However, as the cavalry set off, something appeared on Yao Yisheng's face.

He showed a smile that couldn't be concealed. This time he

The 3,000 horsemen they brought only killed more than 100 people. It can be said that the losses were very small, but the gains were huge. When they came, there were 3,000 men and 9,000 horses. When they returned, the extra horses were fully loaded with supplies.

, if it were Yunfeng himself, he would definitely be laughing from ear to ear.

On the fifth day, after a full rest, Zhang Lingyun led his army with nearly 23,000 slaves, 6,000 surrendered troops, and countless equipment and supplies, and set off with the mighty Ban Shigu Zang.

At the same time, in the imperial palace in Chang'an, Liu Yao was reviewing memorials. A man from Huangmen walked in tiptoeing and said: "Your Majesty, Da Situ is outside asking for an audience."

"Oh?" Liu Yao threw away his pen, raised his head and said, "Xiang him to come in."

"Yes!" Huang Men saluted, bowed and walked out.

A moment later, a middle-aged man in his thirties hurriedly walked in. He had a fair complexion, three long beards under his chin, a broad forehead, and a wise light in his eyes. The person who came was none other than Situ, the great master of the State of Zhao.

, recorded the affairs of the minister, led the chariot and rode the general to travel far away.

When You Ziyuan saluted you, Liu Yao waved his hand: "You Qing, you don't want to be polite, why are you here?"

You Ziyuan said with a solemn expression: "I have just received the latest information. Pu Hong was defeated at the foot of Yuzhong City, and only 7,000 of his 60,000 troops fled back!"

"What?" Liu Yao was shocked and lost his temper. He stood up suddenly and asked in surprise: "You Qing, have you heard wrong? According to the report, Liangzhou only sent less than 30,000 troops, so how could it be defeated?

Pu Hong?”

You Ziyuan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, what I said is absolutely true. News will be sent back to Chang'an soon."

Liu Yao frowned, left the case, walked around a few times with his hands behind his back, and asked, "Does You Qing know how Pu Hong was defeated?"

Wandering Ziyuan, Hao Ran said: "I don't know. I didn't find out through careful work. I only found out the news that Pu Hong was defeated and fled."

Liu Yao said displeasedly: "Immediately send someone to Shanggui to ask about the situation of the battle." He pondered for a moment and then said: "Although Liangzhou won this battle, he killed one thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses. He must have lost his strength.

I am seriously injured, I would like to take this opportunity to recruit Zhang Shi, what do you think?"

You Ziyuan thought for a while and admonished: "I advise your majesty to wait a little longer. If Zhang Shi refuses to surrender to your majesty, your majesty will be forced to send troops on an expedition, otherwise there will be no way to shake up the sky! However, our army is confronting Shi Sheng.

In Puban (today's Yongji County, Shanxi Province), the war is about to break out! Fighting on the east and west fronts is really a taboo for military strategists. I think it is safer to wait until the stone tiger is defeated first, and then send envoys to Guzang to persuade Zhang Shi to surrender."

Liu Yao's face sank and he said, "Can't we just sit back and watch Liangzhou recover?"

You Ziyuan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't be upset, I have a plan. The monarchs of all the countries in the Western Regions are short-sighted and greedy. Your Majesty, why don't you promise them huge profits and induce them to kill Liangzhou merchants and rob their goods, so as to gradually weaken Liangzhou."

Liu Yao nodded and said appreciatively: "You Qing's plan is very good. So, how will you deal with Pu Hong? Do you want to take advantage of his weakened strength to recruit him to come to Chang'an to take up a post?"

You Ziyuan shook his head and said, "Although Pu Hong has been defeated, according to my estimation, he still has 30,000 elite cavalry in his hands. If Your Majesty forces you too much, there is no guarantee that this person will not make a desperate move. Our army will still face the dilemma of fighting on two fronts."

." After looking at Liu Yao and seeing a thoughtful expression on his face, he continued: "According to my observation, except for Pu Hong, all the other chiefs of the Di tribe are doing nothing.

It is suggested that Your Majesty should not choose another ambitious person among them, and secretly support him so that he and Pu Hong can attack each other and consume the strength of the Di people. If he wins, he should be better controlled than Pu Hong. Even if he loses, he will be better.

It doesn't matter, if Pu Hong continues to fight, his vitality will be severely damaged. If our army ends the campaign on the Eastern Front at this time, Your Majesty can immediately recruit this person to Chang'an. If he dares not to come, send more troops to defeat him in one fell swoop."

"Okay!" Liu Yao clapped his hands and laughed and said, "You Qing is indeed wiser than Zhuge, and you are worthy of being my minister. The affairs of the Qin and Liang Western Regions will be left to You Qing to handle with full authority."

You Ziyuan said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I dare not be worthy of your praise. I should do my best for Your Majesty until my death. I will retire now and go to handle the matters assigned by Your Majesty."

Liu Yao nodded slightly: "Just step back."
