Zhao Shan was full of joy and asked with a smile: "What are the specific results?"
Wei Polu reported: "Reporting to your majesty, we suffered more than 5,000 casualties in the battle against the Northern Wei Dynasty. The casualties were mainly those who fought in Lulong fortress and then retreated all the way and were killed."
"But after the first battle, we killed more than 48,000 Northern Wei soldiers, captured more than 23,000 people, and many Northern Wei soldiers escaped."
"The reason why so many people were killed is not because they actually killed so many people. In fact, they killed only a part of them."
"The casualties among the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty were that when they retreated in a swarm, they trampled on each other because they were too crowded, and countless people were trampled to death."
"That's the biggest cause of casualties."
Wei Polu's mood was high and he continued: "When Tuoba Hong counterattacked, there were more than 90,000 people. Now he has suffered countless losses and only a few thousand people have escaped. From now on, he will no longer be able to pose a threat to us."
Zhao Shan showed a smile on his face and agreed: "Mr. Wei is right. With a complete victory in the battle of Youzhou, the threat from the Northern Wei Dynasty will be reduced. Next, we will focus on solving Zhao Fan's problem in Jizhou."
Wei Polu said: "Your Majesty is wise."
Zhao Shan smiled softly, shook his head and said: "It's not my sage, but Fang Weihu's good strategy, your command, and the soldiers who dare to fight and kill. Only by working together can we win this battle."
"The war is over and the prisoners need to be dealt with."
"The bodies of the 48,000 soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty who were killed were used to build a temple outside Lulong fortress to demonstrate to the Northern Wei Dynasty. The more than 23,000 soldiers who were captured were all used as slaves, and some were sent to Luoyang, while the rest were kept in Youzhou Mine.”
"Killing the captives will be a quick relief. Staying to mine and work can save manpower and reduce our expenses."
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "For the dead soldiers in our army, starting from the previous war, all the dead people were buried in Lulong Fortress. A clearing was set aside to build a cemetery, with one person and one monument for future generations to pay homage to."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
When Wei Polu heard Zhao Shan's words, he stood up and saluted solemnly again, saying solemnly: "Your Majesty's kind deeds, I would like to thank you on behalf of everyone."
Soldiers in the army were killed, and many of their bodies were thrown into the wilderness. Those who were better off were dug into big pits and buried.
Nowadays, there is a separate monument to pay tribute.
Zhao Shan waved his hand and said: "Old Wei, the soldiers in the army are big-headed soldiers, and many people think they are mud-legged. But they are the ones who defend the country, they are the ones who open up the territory, and they are the ones who protect the country and the people. This is what they do. hero."
"If Da Gan's own people do not respect, respect, or love heroes, Da Gan will have no one to guard them. A system will be formed for the burial of soldiers who died in battle. All soldiers who died on the battlefield will have to erect a monument. A memorial ceremony for future generations to remember.”
"Let everyone remember their sacrifice."
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "This must be arranged well and we cannot slack off."
"I obey!"
Wei Polu saluted again.
Zhao Shan and Wei Polu discussed the arrangements for the soldiers. They did not withdraw the troops for the time being. Instead, they buried the dead soldiers first, and then built the bodies of the dead Xianbei soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty outside Lulong fortress.
Zhao Shan himself had to appease Tuoba Yanran. As a woman, if you give her some good coaxing and some communication, it would be easy.
What's more, Tuoba Hong took the initiative to start the war.
No wonder Zhao Shan.
While Zhao Shan was comforting Tuoba Yanran, the news of the construction of Jingguan was discovered by spies from the Northern Wei Dynasty and was quickly sent back.
When Tuobahong returned to Longcheng, summoned the civil and military officials to tell them about the defeat of the war, and started to stabilize the internal affairs, the news of the construction of the Beijing Temple outside Lulong Fortress also spread to Longcheng and to Tuobahong. in the ears.
Tuoba Hong was completely stunned when he heard the news.
Tuoba Shao was buried well after being killed, but more than 48,000 soldiers were built as a watchtower in the capital. This was an indelible shame. When he died a hundred years ago, he would always be accompanied by the shame of being a soldier who was thrown into the capital after a great defeat.
shame!
What a shame!
Tuoba Hong was so angry that he smashed the pen holder on the desk, overturned the pen and ink, and even smashed the blue and white vase that he had snatched from Da Gan in the main hall.
After Tuoba Hong vented his anger, he sat down and cried again.
After Tuoba Hong ascended the throne, under the guidance of Tuoba Shao, he devoted himself to being a wise king, diligent in government and caring for the people, close to virtuous ministers and far away from villains, and worked hard to govern. But now something like this happened.
The sound of crying echoed in the hall, almost making the listeners cry when they smelled sad.
Tuoba Hong cried for a long time before wiping away his tears. He instinctively wanted to talk to his sister, but found that Tuoba Yanran had become Zhao Shan's woman and a member of the Zhao family.
Tuoba Shao is gone, and so is his sister.
In addition, the backbone of the royal family such as Tuoba Shao, Tuoba Jian and Tuoba Zhen were killed, and the power of the Tuoba royal family was weakened too much.
"His Majesty!"
Li Sande, the chief eunuch, entered with small steps and saluted: "Your Majesty, Murong Tiangang and Yu Wenke come together to ask for an audience."
"pass!"
Tuoba Hong gave an order.
He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes again and returned to the dragon chair to sit down. After a while, Murong Tiangang and Yu Wenke entered the hall.
The two are Tuoba Hong's confidants.
After Murong Tiangang saluted, he solemnly said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Shan built a capital temple outside Lulong Fortress. This matter has spread in Longcheng and has caused an uproar in public opinion."
Yu Wenke frowned deeply and said quickly: "If this matter is not dealt with, people's hearts will become even more unstable."
One of them was the Minister of War and the other was the Minister of Household Affairs. They were both furious because of this incident.
The key is that both their sons are dead.
Tuoba Hong said in a deep voice: "What do you think about Zhao Shan's construction of the Beijing Temple?"
"revenge!"
Yuwenke answered without hesitation.
Murong Tiangang nodded and said: "We must attack Zhao Shan and we will not give up until we take revenge."
Tuoba Hong did not elaborate on the difficulties of the attack, nor did he object to sending troops. He said directly: "We are going to attack Daqian this time. How many troops will the Murong and Yuwen tribes send each?"
"The emperor's uncle was killed, Tuoba Zhen and Tuoba Jian were killed. I need to reorganize the Sirius Cavalry and stabilize the rear. The troops I can deploy are limited."
"If you two take the lead and can send out the vast majority of the troops, I will go to war with Zhao Shan again."
Tuoba Hong glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice: "I have thought about it. If we want to go to war with Zhao Shan, we must have at least 70,000 or 80,000 people. The two of you can come up with 50,000 or 60,000 people."
Yuwenke's cheeks twitched and sighed: "Your Majesty, the Yuwen Department has also suffered heavy losses and cannot send troops."
Murong Tiangang said: "Murong Department is the same."
Tuoba Hong's eyes were slightly cold and he scolded: "If you don't send troops, how can you talk about revenge? How can you take revenge? Do you rely on your mouth to get revenge?"
Yu Wenke and Murong Tiangang looked at each other.
The two hoped that Tuoba Hong would take the lead. Although Tuoba Shao died, the royal family actually had a strong foundation and sufficient strength.
Unfortunately, Tuoba Hong didn't want to.
Tuoba Hong said patiently: "It's not that I don't want revenge, it's Zhao Shan who has the potential to win a great victory, and our hearts are decadent. There is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides."
"To take revenge, we can only have a chance if Zhao Shan encounters a crisis in Daqian."
"Before his death, the emperor's uncle asked Li Xiangyang to arrange for people to stir up rebellion within Daqian. The emperor's uncle also told him that if there was civil strife in Daqian, we would send troops south. If Zhao Shan can stabilize the situation, we will wait and see what happens."
"This is the next national policy."
Tuoba Hong said in a deep voice: "Currently, there are two things we need to do. First, calm people's hearts. Second, prepare for war with strength. If your son died, my uncle died and I lost my sister. We all need to take revenge."
Yu Wenke said: "I accept the decree!"
Murong Tiangang felt helpless and followed: "I accept the decree!"
Weiwei Tuoba Hong nodded, waved his hand and said, "Be prepared and wait for the opportunity."
Yu Wenke and Murong Tiangang bowed and retreated. Tuoba Hong sat alone in the main hall with a sad expression. He was silent for a long time before he recovered and began to prepare for Tuoba Shao's funeral and continue to provide enough Sirius cavalry.
After the Northern Wei Dynasty went dormant, the news of Zhao Shan's defeat of the Northern Wei Dynasty spread further, first reaching Jizhou and reaching the palace of Wei King Zhao Fan.
