After completely defeating the official army and bandits, the Yun family army began to hunt separately.
Li Xing led the second division to pursue the officers and soldiers.
Wang Shitou led the first division to hunt down the Onezawa bandits.
Yun Chao asked Pan Guiying to divide the cavalry regiment into two. One part assisted the second division in chasing the official troops, and the other part assisted the first division in chasing the bandits.
Yun Chao personally led the guard camp and ten thousand Xiangyong to stay and clean up the battlefield.
Today, Yun Chao no longer has to go into battle in person to kill.
Even if he wanted to, none of his subordinates were willing.
Just because a god is reincarnated doesn't mean he won't die.
Even though Yun Chao usually behaves like an ordinary person, eating, drinking, having sex, and having various needs, the boys under his command do not doubt his identity at all.
Of course, reincarnated gods cannot have the power of real gods, and ordinary people are not stupid. They will never stab someone with a knife just because they think they are gods.
Yun Chao repeatedly emphasized that he would pursue the enemy for at least ten miles, and no matter what the harvest, he would return home and would not allow the enemy to be underestimated and advance rashly.
Before noon, various armies returned one after another.
Before each army returned, the scouts had already sent the battle report to Yun Chao in advance.
In this battle, not counting civilians, a total of more than 20,000 prisoners were captured.
More than 10,000 horses, mules and other livestock were seized.
There are countless military supplies such as swords, guns, armor, tents, food and grass!
According to incomplete statistics, more than 20,000 corpses were left behind by the army and bandits.
According to the prisoners' confessions and the staff's calculations, during this war, the total number of soldiers and bandits lost in this war should be as many as 70,000 to 80,000!
This does not include the losses during the escape.
Some deserters are likely to run away and never return to their place of origin.
Some deserters may encounter bandits, wild animals, diseases, etc. along the way, and they may not be able to go back even if they want to.
Therefore, it is estimated that less than half of the 100,000 people in the army can return safely.
These are still soldiers, but civilians are even worse off. It would be good if one fifth of them could return to their hometown.
The Onozawa Bandits may be slightly better.
After all, this place is relatively close to Onozawa.
Even if some bandits escape halfway, there probably won't be too many.
Almost half of the bandits were able to return to Onozawa safely.
The Onezawa bandits came out with 50,000 men. Even if they could return half of them, they would still lose 25,000 elite men.
The loss of troops and generals is not included. The key is the large amount of baggage consumed in the war, as well as the military supplies and supplies discarded after the defeat.
It can be said that the combat effectiveness of the Onozawa bandits was far more than half.
Coupled with the low morale caused by the defeat, it would be good to have 30% of the combat effectiveness left!
It is no exaggeration to say that in this war, Onozawa's bandits were almost wiped out.
It's a big loss of vitality. Let alone running out to attack the city, it's good to be able to defend one-third of an acre of land!
Compared with the Onezawa bandits, the imperial officers and soldiers were much better.
Even though the losses of the army were greater, a lean camel was bigger than a horse, and the Wu Dynasty was so large that the loss of tens of thousands of troops was nothing. It was far from breaking the bones.
Therefore, Yun Chao did not kill all the Onezawa bandits.
The territory of Dongping Mansion has not been properly digested, so it is not appropriate to over-expand for the time being.
Keeping the Onozawa bandits to attract the court's firepower, and hiding in the dark to develop secretly is the best way to go!
"Zhiyuan, screen the prisoners, whether they are officers or bandits, behead them if they are guilty of the most serious crimes, and send the rest to mines."
"yes!"
"By the way, those civilian laborers have also been sent to work in the mines. We should treat them a little better. After a period of labor reform, we will let them go."
"yes!"
"Wang Dongfeng, send an order to all mine managers to let the first miners go home, pay them salaries, and allow them to come and go freely from now on."
"yes!"
In order to avoid being exposed, after Yunchao occupied several mineral deposits, he kept the original miners hostage and did not let them leave, but only improved their treatment.
Now, the entire Dongping Mansion has become the territory of the Yun family army, and the conditions are ripe for letting the miners go home.
I believe that with such good treatment, even if they don't return to the mine to continue working, they won't speak ill of Yun Chao.
After all, they were all slaves captured by the former mine owner. Yun Chao not only rescued them, but also paid them wages. If he still speaks ill of Yun Chao, then Yun Chao will not be polite!
Those landlords, bullies, and corrupt officials who were later sent for rehabilitation cannot be released now, and they must continue to be reformed.
As for how long the transformation will last, Yun Chao didn't say, and no one among the boys asked.
"Wang Dongfeng, let someone send a letter to County Magistrate Sun, saying that the report to the court can be sent out."
"yes!"
Wang Dongfeng once blocked an arrow for Yun Chao. After his injury recovered, Yun Chao kept him by his side and became the deputy battalion commander of the guard battalion, that is, the deputy commander of the guard battalion.
This kid is also smart. Not only is he good at martial arts, but he is also good at cultural classes. Even though he is just an Orion, he does his work in the guard camp in an orderly manner and is highly appreciated by Yun Chao.
As for the guard battalion commander, of course it must be Wu Er.
When County Magistrate Sun received the news of the victory of the Yun Family Army, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
He wanted to do something for the court, but in the end he did nothing except send a report.
The report was already discussed between Yun Chao and Magistrate Sun.
The Onezawa bandits are really rampant, and only Qingyang County in Dongping Prefecture is still struggling to support them, but they can't support them for long. Please send troops to rescue them quickly!
…
After the news of the defeat of Tong Guan's army spread back to Bianliang, Tokyo, it immediately caused an uproar.
No matter how many local troops die, the people in the capital don't care, but there are still 20,000 imperial guards, and their families are all in the capital!
When Tong Guan returned to the capital with the remaining defeated soldiers, the resentment of the people simply exceeded the sky.
Of the 20,000 imperial guardsmen, all of them had to come back, and only 6,000 were left, not even half of them!
There was no way, Tong Guan didn't regard the local army as a human being, so of course the local army would not block the knife for him.
Therefore, this war is entirely supported by the Royal Forest Army.
Especially in the last battle, the Onezawa bandits attacked from both sides and caused heavy damage to the Imperial Guards.
Later, they were hunted down by the Yun family army one after another. The Yulin army suffered more losses, and it was already quite good to be able to return 6,000 people.
After such a huge defeat, Tong Guan would have to be punished even if he was favored by the emperor again.
You should stop being a Privy Councilor for the time being and go home and reflect honestly!
However, while some are unlucky, others are happy.
Tong Guan was defeated, the position was vacant, and many people were vying for the position.
Gao Qiu, Captain Gao, was the tallest among them.
Theoretically speaking, as a Taiwei, Gao Qiu's status is no lower than that of Tong Guan, the privy envoy.
It is a pity that the Dawu Dynasty valued literature over military affairs. The privy envoy was a civilian official in charge of military affairs, and the Taiwei was a military attache in charge of military affairs.
The Taiwei had a good reputation, but in fact he had little power. When the emperor did not speak out during the war, it was almost as if his duties were half in vain.
Seeing Tong Guan leading his troops everywhere, Lieutenant Gao felt itchy in his heart.
He also wanted to lead the army himself and show his authority.
Well, mainly because of the benefits.
Even though Tong Guan, that dead eunuch, was defeated this time, he would not spit out the money he earned. Lieutenant Gao was envious and jealous.
I also want to make a fortune!
