"Your Majesty, the battlefield has been completely cleaned, and all the Da Yueshi cavalry who did not escape in the city have been dealt with. After counting, we have left a total of more than 50,000 people this time.
Nearly 80,000 people ran into the Mobei Desert and disappeared without a trace.
Because he was not familiar with the road conditions and was afraid that the brothers would be lost in the desert, the general did not give the order to continue the pursuit. Please punish me! "
Late at night, in the palace of the city lord of Dune City.
Zhao Jun, a group of generals, the Khans of various Tatar tribes, and the generals of Shebitu all gathered in the lobby of the city lord's palace.
Ding Hongguang began to report the results of the day's battle to Zhao Jun.
After Ding Hongguang finished speaking, his face was full of guilt and he knelt down on one knee.
Zhao Jun waved his hand and said: "Shuai Ding is only considering the safety of the soldiers, so it doesn't matter.
However, the Great Yuezhi's Great Shan Yuqiu has become our prisoner, and these escaped Great Yueshi cavalry are already leaderless.
Maybe they are already fighting among themselves over leadership. Besides, is the desert so easy to enter?
Entering the desert without adequate preparations will lead to death.
I remember that all the resources that the Da Yueshi came to snatch all the way north were intercepted by us, right?
They went in without any preparation, and only one tenth of the people who came out alive in the end were already blessed by their gods. "
Speaking of the interception, Ding Hongguang's face immediately showed a smile, and he quickly handed over his hand to report:
"Your Majesty, because Da Yuezhi was in a hurry to escape, we intercepted almost all the baggage and other materials that were difficult to transport.
After counting, we obtained a total of more than 100,000 taels of gold ingots and gold utensils during this interception, and about one million taels of silver and silver utensils.
These are just small heads. We seized more than 100,000 stones of grain and grass alone, no less than 150,000 cattle and sheep in total, and more than 50,000 war horses!
There are also rare antiques, jewelry and even weapons and armors from various countries that are not counted. They need to be carefully counted afterwards to be able to count them clearly! "
At this point, a smile has spread all over Ding Hongguang's face. It's really a bumper harvest this time!
All the things that Da Yuezhi snatched along the way now belong to them.
Coupled with their own, it directly made the army rich! The gold and silver alone is no less than two million taels. If all the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rare products and jewelry are taken into account, the seizure alone is probably no less than five million taels!
But what caught his eye the most were the more than 50,000 war horses!
Other things can be found through means, but for war horses, you can only use time to accumulate them.
The prince said before that he would form a new army, but he kept delaying it because of the lack of horses.
Although the Tatar tribe has returned to Yunzhou County, there is always a shortage of war horses.
There is a shortage not only in the military, but also among the people.
With the rapid development of Yunzhou County, all walks of life are in a period of vigorous development, and the requirements for transportation are very high.
In order to obtain more transportation capacity, all walks of life are desperately trying to purchase horses, cattle, donkeys and other livestock that can be used for transportation, but demand has always been in short supply.
As for a war horse, it doesn't just have to be a horse, it must be qualified before it can be used as a war horse.
And this number is very small. The more than 50,000 horses now are probably accumulated by Da Yuezhi over the years.
Once it fell into the hands of the Yunzhou Army, the Yunzhou Army would not be short of horses for the time being.
Not only him, but even Zhao Jun couldn't help but smile when he heard that he had received 50,000 war horses. Although today's Yunzhou County is gradually transforming into a firearms force under his control, for firearms What is the most important thing for the army?
It's logistics!
Compared with the army in the cold weapon period, which could fight with just a knife, the firearms army has extremely high logistics requirements!
The transportation of various shells, ammunition and even cannons all depends on transportation. There are 50,000 more horses. Anyone in the Yunzhou Army has no idea what this means.
Zhao Jun immediately gave an order: "The soldiers who have made meritorious service in this war must be heavily rewarded, and do not let me develop corruption, otherwise you all know my temper.
In addition, sufficient pensions must be provided, and the rewards for their previous military achievements will be doubled.
As soon as anything is seized, it must be arranged for shipment immediately. These are the heritage that the Yuezhi took away from the past when they broke the country. Our trophies must not be lost, do you understand? "
Ding Hongguang was still nodding his head in front of him. When he heard the last sentence, he immediately looked up at his prince in astonishment.
After seeing the serious look on his face, he immediately understood what his prince meant.
Dang even nodded solemnly and replied: "No! I will understand! I will take all the wealth accumulated by the Great Yuezhi over the past generations back with me! No one can take it away!"
Zhao Jun nodded with satisfaction and smiled. This old Ding is still reliable in doing things. He can quickly understand what he means. He has a bright future!
The khans of the Tatar tribes on the side were still a little confused, but Li Nian'an, who was also present at the meeting, had already heard what was going on. However, he just sneered twice and said nothing more.
Anyway, King Yun had promised before that this time he would give 20% of the Da Yuezhi's finances to give to their Shebitu to make up for the losses. A larger total amount would be a good thing for their Shebitu.
After sorting out the harvest, Zhao Jun hosted the post-war spoils distribution meeting.
In addition to determining the two levels of compensation for Shebitu, corresponding rewards were also given to the Tatar side.
In addition to the necessary gold and silver rewards, each tribe's share of the mutual market next year has been increased according to their military merits and efforts. The khans of each tribe suddenly had different expressions when they heard about the shares they would get next year.
Some smile happily and feel that they have made a lot of money.
There are also those who frown and regret that they did not kill two more enemies during the war and captured two more prisoners, resulting in a small share.
There are so many different things.
But in general, Zhao Jun also determined their share based on their military exploits, and no one was dissatisfied.
Just when the meeting was almost in progress, suddenly a soldier hurried in holding a letter!
"Report! Your Majesty! The flying eagle delivers the message. The report is urgently sent from 800 miles away!"
Everyone in the hall suddenly fell silent, and Zhao Jun's originally smiling face froze!
We were in an urgent need to report, and even used the urgent service of 800 Miles!
Could it be that something happened in Yunzhou City?
Zhao Junteng stood up in an instant, and then strode to the soldier's side. When he opened the envelope from his hand, he saw that there were two letters.
Both letters came from Ponti, but they were not sent by the same person.
One letter was sent by her daughter-in-law Ye Yin. It roughly stated that after she left, some people in Yunzhou City became restless and began to make small moves because they thought he was a woman, but she took care of them.
However, many Huns spies have appeared in the city recently, and the secret guards are trying their best to arrest them.
The rest is nothing.
But another letter made Zhao Jun frown instantly.
This was sent by Yunyi.
It tells the story of the spies deployed by the secret guards on the grassland who discovered that the Huns royal court was gathering troops.
And he suspected that the sudden influx of so many spies into Yunzhou City during this period was related to this matter.
In addition, the guard of Yumen Pass was suddenly replaced at this time.
In summary, after summarizing the information, the secret guards concluded that the Xiongnu might take advantage of the absence of the army to harm Yunzhou County!
Zhao Jun's eyebrows immediately stood up!
The Huns are looking for death!
