Liu Yu sighed: "Women, it's really troublesome. It's all my fault. I've failed them too much to end up like this. But no matter what, I have to rescue Alan first. The rest will be done one step at a time. Now Binggui Speed, the faster, the better. Only by quickly attacking Guanggu City can we have a chance to catch Hei Pao and force him to lift the restriction on Alan. Tomorrow morning, the army will set off. Are there any problems with your logistics here? "
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "Our army won a great victory in this battle. Not only did we defeat the 200,000 Yan army, but we also captured a large amount of grain stored in Linqu City, and all the cattle and sheep brought by the Hu people from various tribes were also in the hands of our army." , There is enough food and grass now, enough for a year, not counting the supplies that the people from all over the country will bring when they come to join the army, so there is no need to worry too much about food, grass and weapons."
At this point, Liu Muzhi paused: "The more than 20,000 prisoners captured in this battle were dealt with as you said. The Han prisoners were released home and paid travel expenses so that they could promote the benevolence and righteousness of our army, while Hu If people take prisoners, they will be distributed among the troops as slaves, especially to the homes of those soldiers who died in battle. Now that our army has sufficient auxiliary troops and people to support it, there is no need for these prisoners to do such chores in the army, and they stay in the army. On the contrary, there may be changes in the army."
Liu Yu nodded: "After this battle, how many wounded soldiers in our army need to be transported back immediately?"
Liu Muzhi smiled and said: "More than 7,000 people have been injured, nearly 2,000 of them are seriously injured and cannot move for the time being. They need to stay here for processing. The remaining 5,000 people are best to go back to rest, but if the troops are insufficient, If so, more than a thousand of them who are slightly injured can stay and continue fighting."
Liu Yu curled his lips: "The Yanzhou Army and the Yuzhou Army suffered the most losses and wounded. Let their troops go back first. Xile will send troops to rotate anyway. The other wounded, those who are seriously injured and unable to move, will stay here for treatment. One thousand men and horses guarded Linqu City and the wounded as our army's advance base in Qingzhou, while other lightly wounded men continued to march. Another 500 men and horses were sent to escort the prisoners and the wounded back to Jiankang, and let Daolian and Shen Qingzhi return to Pengcheng. , continue to organize reinforcements in Pengcheng to go north, while Yu Yue returns to Jiankang to report the victory, and by the way, informs Xile of what happened in this battle, and asks Xianzhi and Meng Chang to work together to spy on the Tiandao Alliance members in Jiankang City."
Liu Muzhi took a carbon rod and quickly recorded these orders on a piece of silk, while asking: "Do you want to tell Xianzhi everything and ask him to keep an eye on the people of the Sima family?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not necessary. He is a smart man and should know what to do. As for Xile and Meng Chang, we cannot give orders directly to people, but have to discuss it. Liu Fan was seriously injured in this battle. He was hit by three arrows and burned by fire. Please ask him to go back with Yu Yue, and let him personally tell Xi Le about these things on the front line. I think this will have a much better effect than Yu Yue telling him."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Although Yu Yue said that he had made a contribution, it would not be a good thing if he had a conflict with Liu Yi after returning."
Liu Yu said calmly: "I don't expect Xi Le to stay in Jiankang for too long. Black Robe and the Tiandao Alliance will definitely try their best to cause trouble behind us, whether they let Hou Qin send troops or let the demon thieves go north. It is very likely that Xile himself is also good at using troops, and he will definitely return to Liyang in advance to prepare. Once an enemy army attacks, he will have the opportunity to make achievements on his own. That is what he has always wanted."
Liu Muzhi laughed: "You are willing to give him this opportunity, what else can I say, it's just the precautions in Jiankang City..."
Liu Yu said seriously: "Xile will arrange for his brave generals to guard Jiankang. Besides, each major family also has its own servants, and there are also guards in the palace. It is not easy to openly cause trouble. You Xian I can rest assured that Zhi and Meng Chang are here. Besides, Wei Shunzhi is also leading troops to guard the place. In addition, after Shen Qingzhi returns, he will continue to recruit thousands of soldiers and horses from Wuxing's hometown as backup. I want to build the defenses in Kang City and don't need them for the time being. Worry."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Then our army has more than 42,000 troops left to attack this time. With this force, are you really sure that you can besiege Guanggu?"
Liu Yu laughed: "It is precisely because we are short of troops that we have to pursue and fight fiercely. Before yesterday, we had 60,000 troops and defeated the enemy's army of 200,000. Now, we have 40,000 troops and defeated the enemy's army of 5 60,000 people. If we retreat, hesitate, and rest at this time, the enemy will have a chance to breathe and remobilize an army of more than 100,000 people. If we fight at this time, the outcome will be unpredictable. At least it will be difficult to fight like today. This field battle was a great victory. But if we take advantage of the victory and pursue it, the enemy's position in Guanggu City is unstable, and they may not even have the courage to fight in the field. They will definitely defend Yingcheng. As long as our army can surround Guanggu, then all parts of Qingzhou The Hu and Han soldiers and civilians will surely come to surrender one after another, and our army will become stronger and stronger, with more and more manpower."
Liu Muzhi laughed: "Just like when Liu Yi led the Western Expeditionary Army to pursue Huan Xuan, we fought with momentum. As long as people think we have an advantage, the team will get stronger and stronger, and the number of troops will increase as we fight. Finally, You really have an advantage. You can only understand this truth by fighting beside you personally."
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "I'm going to have to work hard for you tonight. I'll let the brothers go and have a good sleep. We will send out troops at 10 o'clock tomorrow. No problem, right?"
Liu Muzhi smiled bitterly and said: "You have already set a time. Even if I have a problem, I can't say it. You have to reward me for this meal. A chicken drumstick is not enough."
Liu Yu smiled and patted Liu Muzhi on the shoulder: "Isn't Yu Gong leaving tomorrow? The abalone and venison he left behind are all yours. You can eat as much as you want. But don't Let the soldiers see it, otherwise it will have a bad influence on you, a fat man in charge of logistics. There are many people saying that you steal military rations."
Liu Muzhi shook his head helplessly: "I only have this little appetite, and if you don't let me eat something good, alas, these brothers are really difficult to take care of." He said, quickly He walked down the tower, and soon, the plump figure disappeared into the night, and his voice rang below the tower: "Quickly call all the assistants, tell me that I have discovered the treasures of the wine mountain." , Fat Changshi treats everyone to a nice meal."
The smile gradually dissipated on Liu Yu's face. He looked at the starry sky in the north. Murong Lan's eyes seemed to be the shining stars in the sky. Liu Yu murmured to himself: "Alan, wait for me to save you." You, this time, I will never miss you again."
