"It doesn't matter, this battle was originally a victory for our army. The more detailed the beheadings and the number of captures, the more realistic they are. In this way, it seems that I, Liu Jixing, am aboveboard and not a vain person."
The so-called Jingguan is a high platform made of piled corpses or heads. It can be said to be one of the ultimate means to show off force and victory.
After entering Yuzhou this time, Liu Yu discovered that almost half of the political institutions in the vast Yuzhou land had been paralyzed, and agricultural production in many places had been completely destroyed by Shi Le, Zhao Gu and others, causing a large number of residents to flee. , the hinterland of Yuzhou, which used to be densely populated in the past, has almost returned to the tragic scene of "white bones exposed in the wild and no roosters crowing for thousands of miles".
In this way, it became completely impossible for an important city that originally occupied a place to issue orders and rule the subordinate counties and townships.
Although Liu Yu was already considered the largest powerful force on the ground in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, there were not many people under his rule to organize households. Either a large number of people fled to the south, or they became a tribe of Wubao.
These forts in Yuzhou often occupy strategic terrain, and they always have clan tribes with reliable fighting power and ideas. They are completely independent small kingdoms, and they do not have much obedience to the so-called county officials.
In today's troubled times, in order to survive, let alone the government that collects food and soldiers, even if the emperor comes in person, these Wubao masters will not give in easily.
Therefore, if Liu Yu really wants to capture Yuzhou, he must either spend a lot of time, manpower and financial resources to rebuild the political order of counties, counties and villages at all levels, and must leave no less than tens of thousands of troops behind, or he must conquer it. All these big and small fort owners can do is ask them to pay some symbolic taxes.
With Liu Yu's current situation, he doesn't have that much money to go to Yuzhou. If he can take care of the Yanzhou he just occupied, that will be the limit.
However, Suiyang, as an important town in Yuzhou close to Yanzhou, is a stronghold that Liu Yu wants to operate. As long as Suiyang can be managed well, he can go south to the entire Yuzhou at any time in the future.
As for who should be left in charge of Suiyang, Liu Yu has not decided yet. However, he must take advantage of the opportunity he just defeated Shi Le to leave his reputation and influence in Suiyang, so as to facilitate future operations.
Therefore, Liu Yu attached great importance to this time of piling up the capital to show off his military exploits.
In the center of this Jingguan is a pyramid-shaped base of rammed earth. Then, the heads of more than 3,000 Hulu were piled on top of the earth. Finally, they were covered with earth to express the expression. In this way, a two-foot-high Jingguan was created. The view is completed.
This Jingguan in Suiyang was completed in just a few days, attracting almost everyone in Suiyang to watch.
Next to Jingguan, this tall stone tablet was erected, which records Liu Yu's achievements in leading his army to defeat the Hu barbarians and beheading Jingguan.
The people of Suiyang who had been besieged by these barbarians not long ago all held hands and celebrated happily. Many of their relatives and friends died when Shi Le attacked Suiyang. Now the Qingzhou army has killed so many barbarians. They also built a Jingguan in Suiyang, which was very suitable to their liking.
So, starting from the people of Suiyang City, people began to spread word of mouth about the victory of the Qingzhou Army.
Next to Jingguan outside Suiyang City, it has recently become a new place to gather and enjoy the scenery. Many wise men, businessmen, and "extremely energetic social organization personnel" from Suiyang City will first taunt Hulu here. Then I will comment on the inscription.
"I think the number of Hulu who died in the hands of the general in this battle must be more than the above three thousand." A wise man from Suiyang City said.
"But, isn't it written clearly on the inscription?" A wealthy businessman present said with some confusion, "And, it is still very accurate to the fraction of the number."
With contempt for this vulgar businessman, the wise man curled his lips and said.
"What is recorded here is the heads of the barbarians in this capital, and I am talking about the number of barbarians killed by the Qingzhou Army. Don't you understand the mystery behind this?"
The merchant had always felt that he was inferior to Xian Da by three levels. Today, he was flattered that Xian Da could talk to him so much. Even though he had just been despised by Xian Da, there was no trace of sullenness on his face, but a look of sincerity. Seeking advice.
"Mystery?"
"Yes, there is another mystery in this." The wise man smiled confidently, and then told his guess about the matter.
Although on the Jingguan stone tablet outside Suiyang City, it is clearly written that more than 3,000 Hulu heads were captured.
But on the chaotic battlefield, more than 3,000 Hulu could be killed, so the real number of Hulu killed must be more than this number.
Because many Hulu must have been trampled to pulp and could not be beheaded.
There are also some injured Hulu who escaped and may have died on the road, and there is definitely no way to capture their heads.
There are also some injured Hulu, who may be seriously injured or die in a few days. These people should also be counted as the achievements of the Qingzhou Army.
"So, according to my judgment, the number of Hulu killed is at least double the number of beheadings, and maybe even more." The sage finally said confidently.
At this time, not only the merchant, but also the other prominent figures in Suiyang around him were all amazed by Xian Da's speculation.
"Twice? Isn't that more than five thousand, oh no, more than six thousand." A scholar from Suiyang City said in surprise.
"More than six thousand is not a lot." The merchant touched his chin and said.
"This is just a conservative number. The real number will only be more, not less." Xianda said.
"No, if that's the case, shouldn't the number of Hulu killed be recorded on the inscription? The so-called bragging about military exploits has always been about exaggerating the number. How can one say that the number is too small?" Another person said. A man who looked like a wealthy businessman raised questions.
Xianda glanced at the words and saw another fat-minded businessman who dared to question himself, and said with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"This is of course because the general is upright and upright, unlike those who worship the fictitious and talk about mystery. The head he brought back is to be used to build the Beijing Temple. When the Beijing Temple is built, it can be used to worship the spirits of heaven and earth. How can it be done? A false number.”
After hearing what Xianda said, everyone present agreed.
The Qingzhou Army led by Liu Yu not only defeated the Shilehulu, it was said to be brave and good at fighting. Now it has been stationed behind Suiyang City. Tens of thousands of officials and soldiers accompanied them, and they were provided with the necessary food and clothing, and a steady stream of money. Qingzhou salt, white porcelain and other goods were settled. In this way, Suiyang City, which was originally in decline, was filled with different vitality.
For these two reasons, the residents of Suiyang City have a very good impression of the Qingzhou Army. This is especially true in recent days, because there is news from the gossip that General Liu Yu has written to the emperor asking him to Your Majesty moved the capital to Suiyang. If that were the case, Suiyang would instantly become the number one city in the world. How could this not make the people of Suiyang even more excited?
Due to a series of bonus reasons, "Liu Yuchui" who took these wise men and businessmen as examples quietly appeared.
"I killed six to seven thousand barbarians, and maybe even more. I am indeed worthy of being a general." After hearing Xian Da's analysis of the reasons, the merchant firmly remembered it.
The next day, the merchant invited several other friends to come here to admire the Jingguan. After seeing the inscription on the Jingguan, the merchant shook his head and read the inscription again, and then told several friends mysteriously.
"You know, even though the inscription says that 3,859 beheaded, the actual number of Hulu killed is definitely not this number." The merchant blinked his eyes and continued.
"There is another mystery in it!"
Several friends were full of curiosity when they heard this and quickly asked about the mystery.
Afterwards, the businessman imitated Xianda's analysis and repeated it.
"So, the general must have killed at least nearly 10,000 Hulu in this battle!"
The merchant thought, if six or seven thousand is too unimpressive, "nearly ten thousand" seems much more domineering in Changcheng, and the number six or seven thousand can indeed be regarded as nearly ten thousand.
"Nearly ten thousand?"
"Ten thousand, that's really a lot."
After hearing what the merchant said, several of his friends also gave a thumbs up, praising General Liu Yu's martial ethics and the merchant's wisdom in discerning mysteries.
In the afternoon, one of the merchant friends invited several of his friends from Jizhou to come here to enjoy the "Beijing View".
The businessman's friend stood in front of the Jingguan stone monument and said mysteriously.
"Guys, do you know that there is another mystery in this inscription?"
As expected, these friends from Jizhou were full of curiosity and asked the businessman's friends to explain the mystery.
The businessman's friend then talked about his opinions nonstop, and finally looked confident and determined.
"In this battle in Ku County, the general killed at least more than 10,000 Huru. If we include the Huru who were wounded, there might have been at least 20,000, and possibly even more."
When these friends from Jizhou heard this businessman friend's well-founded analysis, they all admired him.
After all, this businessman friend just said that the general Liu Yu faced only 200,000 barbarians. If he didn't kill and injure 20,000 barbarians, how could these 200,000 barbarians retreat and escape?
Youzhou.
In Wang Jun's mansion.
"What nonsense!" Wang Jun threw a letter in his hand to the ground.
The maids in the narrator were so frightened that they shrank their necks and did not dare to make any move.
The son-in-law Zaosong on the side, seeing Wang Jun like this, quickly asked what was written in the letter from Jizhou to the assassination of Cao.
"It says that there are already rumors in Jizhou that Liu Yu defeated an army of 300,000 Shile Huru in one battle in Ku County, Yuzhou, beheading 30,000 and wounding 50,000." Wang Jun said angrily.

————————
Suiyang, where Liu Yu is now, is an important town in the Liang Kingdom of Yuzhou. Because Liu Yu's available troops have to take care of the two states at the same time, Suiyang is already the farthest city he can directly occupy.
After Liu Yu led the newly gathered Xingtai of the Jin Dynasty back to Suiyang from Ku County, he first issued an order here in the name of General Xingtai, declaring that he would report to Emperor Sima Chi and move the capital to Cangyuan of Yanzhou or Suiyang of Yuzhou. .
Because both places have their own pros and cons, both are acceptable to Liu Yu.
In Suiyang City, Liu Yu was discussing the matter with Hua Xiu, Dong Ping and his subordinates.
"Cangyuan is great. There is a waterway from the river there. Luoyang's drivers and horses can enter the river from Luoshui and go down the river. They don't have to take the dangerous land route." Hua Xiu felt that the road to Cangyuan in Yanzhou was safe. Luoyang got on the ship, and the Huns on horseback could not catch up no matter what.
"However, is Cangyuan too close to Luoyang? The Huns in Bingzhou would only have to walk a few hundred miles further east if they turned around, and Cangyuan is almost undefendable. When the rivers are frozen in winter, those waterways and rivers It has no effect at all.”
Dong Ping also said that he felt that Cangyuan in Yanzhou was too close to the Huns.
"If you ask me, I also said that Suiyang is better, the city is strong, and the soldiers and civilians here are also good at fighting. Shile was not able to be attacked by force before, so it is perfect for housing the emperor."
"Forget it, let the emperor decide this matter himself. If he doesn't want to move the capital, then it is useless for us to think so much." Liu Yu frowned and said.
After Liu Yu led his army back to Suiyang, he received news from Xun Fan in Luoyang that the princess, prince and general He Lun left by King Sima Yue of the East China Sea had led an army and clan of 100,000 people. After leaving Luoyang, he wanted to return to Xuzhou eastward. Xunfan also told Liu Yu that there were now less than 10,000 troops left in Luoyang, and it would be difficult to stop another Huns attack.
Therefore, Sikong Xunfan was in favor of moving the capital. However, the emperor Sima Chi at this time did not seem to agree with the move.
Sizhou, Luoyang.
