With Su Lie's attack on Han Sui, it was also a good start for the war initiated by Li Xiang. This time Li Xiang launched an attack on Yongliang Prefecture at the same time, and his targets were Yang Jian, Fu Jian, Ma Teng, Han Sui and these four people.
Now, even just defeating the weakest Han Sui marked a critical step in this war.
However, the next battle will not be so easy to fight. In the past, he was able to quickly take down Han Sui. On the one hand, Su Lie took action with lightning speed and decisiveness, cutting off the connection between Han Sui's power territory and the power territory of the other two.
On the other hand, Han Sui is really weak. The only civil servants who can show off are Han Qixian and Cheng Gongying, and the only strong general who can show off is Yan Xing. The commander-in-chief is even less so.
Facing Su Lie's lineup, Su Lie used 100,000 to defeat 40,000, so he could easily eliminate Han Sui.
As for the two people they have to deal with next, Ma Teng, Fu Jian and even Yang Jian, their talent lineup is no less different than that of Han Sui. In fact, when the princes from all sides are put together, in terms of lineup, they are not necessarily as good as Li Xiang. How much weaker.
Coupled with the interference of the Guandong princes, it is impossible for Li Xiang to achieve his final goal without going through several bloody battles.
Of course, the benefit of this battle was not only the destruction of Han Sui, Su Lie himself also received huge benefits.
Yang Jian's imperial edict a few years ago gave every prince in the world a throne, no matter how small he was, he had a title of duke. But like Han Sui, who was just a feudal lord, he could also have his own feudal kingdom.
However, in the troubled times, the princes did not establish a kingdom in name. After all, these are not as good as the territories you have actually laid. In other words, the size of the territory you occupy will determine the size of the country you establish.
It is precisely because of this that Su Lie's country-destroying skills exploded again.
"Ding, the effect of Su Lie's country-destroying skill is activated three times. Every time a country is destroyed when he is the leader, all four dimensions will be permanently +1. This effect can be activated three times.
Currently for the second time, Su Lie's four dimensions have been raised to 101 in Commander, 102 in Force, 89 in Intelligence, and 72 in Politics. "
With the second burst of Su Lie's country-destroying skill three, this also means that Li Xiang has one more god-level commander.
Statistics after the war showed that Han Sui had nearly 40,000 troops in this battle. He captured 8,000 cavalry and 13,000 infantry. Han Sui's generals Liang Xing and Cheng Yin were captured. Han Sui's generals Hou Xuan and Yan Xing surrendered, while the rest of Han Sui's forces were captured. Almost all the important figures died in this battle.
In this battle, Su Lie's army only lost less than 4,000 troops. This was mainly because Jincheng could be said to have been directly destroyed by Su Lie's continuous bombardment by trebuchets, thus avoiding the largest casualties in the siege. a link.
After the war, Su Lie immediately integrated the prisoners in this battle. After all, these are more than 20,000 Liangzhou elites. Next, their test of this battle will officially come. It is when a large number of troops are needed, so it is naturally impossible to turn a blind eye to more than 20,000 prisoners. If the more than 20,000 prisoners are used properly, they will help them reduce very heavy casualties.
This process was not difficult to carry out. With the help of Yan Xing and Candidate, the two former generals of Han Sui's army, and the two generals Liang Xing and Cheng Yin also expressed their willingness to surrender, the task of integrating the prisoners was indeed easy. a lot of.
Moreover, in order to strengthen the control of this surrendered army, Su Lie first gathered all the family members of this surrendered army for management, and then divided this surrendered army into units. They will all be killed, and their families will also be implicated.
Of course, after hitting a stick, you must also give a sweet date. Only with a combination of kindness and power can you truly conquer the heart of this surrendering soldier.
Therefore, Su Lie promised that as long as their army fought bravely, he could give them everything that a normal army in Li Xiang's army should have.
There is actually military pay in Li Xiang's army, but it is not much, not ten cents a month, but this is a huge difference compared to other princes who have nothing.
In addition, at the end of each year, each soldier can also receive half a stone of food and grass, which according to current terms, is about thirty kilograms.
Even, in order to mobilize the morale of this surrendered army, Su Lie distributed military pay and food to this army in advance. Of course, the reason why Su Lie was so generous was that it was not his money anyway. After breaking through Jincheng, he captured 30,000 shi of food and grass alone, not to mention other money.
As soon as this move came out, the morale of the surrendered army was greatly boosted, and it became much easier to command.
After a few days of rest and recuperation, and having solved the problem of surrendering an army, it was time for Su Lie to arrange the next battle plan. After all, this is where the real test of this war comes.
Moreover, Su Lie has received news that 30,000 reinforcements sent by Yang Jian, headed by Yu Juluo and Lu Bu, have arrived. Although the subsequent arrival of Yuwen Chengdu and Jia Fu greatly strengthened the strength of Bai Qi's generals, this could not change the gap in military strength between the two sides.
Therefore, after dealing with the problem here, Su Lie must lead his troops back as soon as possible to help Bai Qi deal with Fu Jian and Ma Teng.
Therefore, on the one hand, Su Lie asked Feng Yi to lead the army, supplemented by Luo Yi and Luo Cheng, leading 10,000 infantry and cavalry, plus 7,000 surrender troops to lead the troops to conquer Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang counties in the west of Liangzhou. On the other hand, Su Lie led 86,000 infantry and cavalry, plus 14,000 surrender troops, a total of 100,000 troops, heading towards Hanyang and Longxi.
As ordered, Li Xiang has occupied the two counties of Wuwei and Jincheng in Liangzhou, which has just divided Liangzhou into two halves. Su Lie can already do whatever he wants in the three counties of Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang in the west of Liangzhou.
Although there are only three counties in Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang, while Liangzhou has ten counties, these three counties alone are almost half the size of Liangzhou.
However, Liangzhou is already considered poor enough among the Han states, but these three counties are the poorest among the counties in Liangzhou. In addition, the land is vast and sparsely populated. Therefore, no big power is willing to do so. Occupying these places, there are only some small forces that can't get on the stage.
Previously, even though Ma Teng and Han Sui had nominally established control over these three counties, they actually paid no attention to these three counties. At most, they only occasionally went over to recruit young men and recruit some troops. Loot the last wave of food and grass.
