In fact, Wang Jing didn't value Yang Ye too much. He was mainly doing superficial things. Anyway, he had promised Yang Zaixing not long ago. If he wanted to show mercy to Yang Ye, he had to start well and end well.
If Yang Ye was seriously injured and died, then most of his previous actions to win over people's hearts would have lost most of their effect.
Also, the reputation of the Yang family generals has been passed down to future generations, but Yang Ye and his sons are somewhat exaggerated. It is not that they are incompetent, but that their abilities do not match their reputations.
Yang Ye had a record and ability, but five or six of his sons died in a battle. It is really unconvincing to insist on how strong these sons who died in the battle were.
At this time, the Great Xia Dynasty had commanders who were good at commanding and brave generals. In addition to those ninth-level famous generals, many talents from other eras also gradually emerged from the army.
Now there is Qi Jiguang in Jinling who has not completely surrendered. With Yang Ye's reputation as a loyal minister and good general, it is impossible for him to immediately turn around and betray the Eastern Han Dynasty and defect to Daxia.
The general who refused to surrender was useless to Wang Jing, so he could only be sent to the rear to be guarded. On the battlefield, the Xia army was constantly chasing the enemy under the command of the general.
Although the enemy army collapsed, they were defeated but not in chaos. Many defeated soldiers formed formations with each other when they broke through. These small-scale defeated soldiers were the targets of Han Qinhu and Zhang Hao.
boom!
Just now, when three heavenly warriors collided with a top earthly warrior, the vitality of heaven and earth was aroused, the wind and clouds gathered, the wind roared, the clouds swirled, and there was the flashing electric light triggered by Yuwen Chengdu...
The water vapor in the void was gathered by wind, clouds, thunder and lightning, forming a drizzle of light rain.
The slightly cool continuous rain dissipated a little of the intense evil aura on the battlefield. A large amount of blood on the battlefield was mixed with the rain, flowing freely from high to low, and finally poured into the holes bombarded by the strong men's fights.
There are also many soldiers carrying corpses on the battlefield.
Hundreds of thousands of troops fought back and forth. Although the fighting lasted only a short time, there were many corpses left behind. As the saying goes, if one man fights for his life, he is invincible.
If it comes to desperate times, the soldiers of the Han army will die together with the soldiers of the Xia army who are chasing them. When the two armies faced each other, the casualties on both sides were actually not too great, but when it came to a chaotic battle, the casualties soared instantly.
This time the Xia Army's opponents were the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Han Dynasty who were ambitious and extremely tough. They were not the Song Army, which was known for its cowardice, nor were they the separatist princes that Wang Jing had encountered before.
They are ferocious beasts and will definitely bite back when slaughtered.
The Xia army is well equipped with Heavenly Realm experts and ninth-level generals, but we have defeated the main force of the enemy army. We can't let the important generals in the army lead small groups of elite soldiers to chase down the remaining enemies one by one, right?
Strong men above level nine do not take action easily. It is normal for Xia Bing to suffer backlash when he is chasing him. Of course, Xia Jun still had the absolute advantage overall.
Wang Jinghe and the generals in his army also looked at the overall situation.
"Your Majesty, General Xie Xuan has captured the Han army's camp, obtained two million stones of food and grass, and countless weapons and armor. On the walls, everyone entered the gate tower.
Zhang Juzheng came to report.
The amount of food, grass and baggage carried by hundreds of thousands of troops is an astronomical figure.
For the Eastern Han Dynasty, two million shi was just food and grass consumed by the army in a short period of time, and there were more food and grass supplies piled up in Xiangyang.
Wang Jing was not short of food and grass because when he raised his army, he paid great attention to food.
In the past few years, all the soldiers and civilians under his command had to work in the fields and rely on the weather to accumulate a large amount of food. When the food accumulated initially was used up, Huaibei and other places became new fertile farmland.
Liu Xiu will only have more food than Wang Jing.
There is no other reason but one reason, and that is that the Central Plains has been a sacred land since ancient times. The output of a county in the Central Plains is better than that of other places in several years.
In the world of China, although the Central Plains is faced with enemies on all sides, the fields are easier to cultivate and the advantage of producing more grain has not disappeared. As long as it can be stable for two or three years, a Central Plains can supply the Eastern Han Dynasty with millions of soldiers and horses.
"All seizures were recorded and recorded, and the food from the Han army's camp was immediately shipped to Jiangling to provide relief to the homeless in various places.
People..." Wang Jing said casually.
Zhang Juzheng immediately responded that two million shi of grain could help the area near Jiangling.
The refugees who appeared due to the war near Jiangling were stable for a period of time. After the relief, they were organized into households and filled with refugees.
The Han army was defeated in this battle, and it was impossible to form a large army to go south in a short time. Taking advantage of this period, Jiangling, Jiangxia and other places could set up prefectural and county camps.
"Fu Youde and the others are chasing the Han generals, why haven't they come back yet?"
While dealing with things casually, Wang Jing had some doubts in his mind. Fu Youde, Yang Zaixing and Yuwen Chengdu were all powerful men in the heavenly realm. It would be easy to catch Jia Fu.
As a result, it has been almost two hours since the victory of the battle, and they have not returned yet. Wang Jing would naturally be a little worried.
The military officers outside were still counting the number of seizures and prisoners under the leadership of the soldiers. The grain, grass and ordnance reported by Zhang Juzheng just now were counted first, followed by the casualties on both sides.
Because the Han army was defeated and the defeated troops were scattered, it was temporarily impossible to obtain the number of enemy casualties, while our own casualties already had rough figures. The Beifu army who charged head-on lost more than 2,700 people in this battle and injured more than 1,000 people.
What they faced was also the elite of the Han army. The stronger they were, the less likely they were to hold back during a fight. It only took a blink of an eye to tell the difference between life and death.
Even with the strength of the Beifu army, losses could not be avoided.
The Bingzhou Cavalry and the White Horse Cavalry pursued the enemy after establishing the victory, so there were no losses. The White Robe Army's formation was flexible and their own casualties were very few.
In addition to the special units, the ordinary soldiers fighting on the two wings suffered about 30,000 casualties. "More than 30,000 casualties..."
When he heard this number, Wang Jing regained his composure. This number of casualties was not small. But fortunately, Wang Jing's prediction before the war started was better.
Before the war started, Wang Jing estimated that the strength of the enemy and ourselves were similar, and there would be a tug-of-war, and then his own soldiers would suffer heavy losses. There were more than 30,000 casualties, and the number could be reduced further after the wounded soldiers recovered, which Wang Jing and the civil and military officials could accept.
call!
Just when Wang Jing was about to talk to Gao Xi and Zhang Juzheng about the recovery of wounded soldiers and the compensation for those who died in battle, the endless void shook slightly. There were two meteors streaking across the sky.
Wang Jing looked towards the sky, which was a symbol of the fall of generals above the ninth level.
"The general fell... It seems that General Fu successfully pursued the enemy general and killed the Han general!" Gao Xi said with a smile.
No one thought that an accident would happen to the three of Fu Youde. Since it was not the three of them, the only one who would die would be the general of the Han army.
Everyone agreed and had the same idea as Gao Xi. Wang Jing said nothing.
Everyone was not kept waiting for too long. About half an hour later, three rainbow lights tore through the dark clouds, cut through the sky, and came to the city wall. It was Fu Youde and the other three.
They had some blood on them and looked like they had been through some hard fighting.
"Your Majesty, the last three generals were chasing Jia Fu, Feng Yi and others, and met Han reinforcements on the south side of Yicheng. We fought with the Han generals and killed General Ma Wu, as well as those who had just left. Pan Mei arrived from the north..."
"As for Jia Fu... this man was severely wounded by the last general, but the more serious the opponent was injured, the stronger the burst of power... Before he saw the large number of generals coming to help from the Han army, he returned first !」
Fu Youde briefly stated the results of the pursuit.
Their results were pretty good. They killed Ma Wu, one of Yuntai's famous generals. Ma Wu was so majestic that he was ranked alongside Yu Chi Gong in later generations as both door gods, but his reputation was not as good as Yu Chi Gong's.
His strength is not as good as the Heaven Realm, but he is also the top general of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
And Pan Mei... was the founding general of the Northern Song Dynasty. Like Yang Ye and Shi Yanchao, he was a general who later defected to Liu Xiu. He came to Xiangyang to help out with Cen Peng, the general who conquered the south.
However, as soon as they arrived in Yiyang, they were attacked by Fu Youde and three others. Pan Mei was slightly weaker and was beheaded by Yuwen Chengdu. "Jia Fu... His energy is not exhausted yet!"
Wang Jing sighed slightly, it was indeed impossible to kill a powerful person in the heavenly realm.
Yi, they all master a perfect law and have unique trump cards, such as Lu Bu's power of ghosts and gods, which makes them stronger and stronger as they fight, and they are not afraid of group battles.
Jia Fu's life-saving trump card was his ability to become more explosive the more seriously he was injured. "The generals of the Han army came to help...did the three generals recognize each other's origins?" Gao Xi asked quickly.
Fu Youde said: "Here, the last general only heard the names of Cen Peng, the general who conquered the south, as well as Wang Yanzhang, Xia Luqi, and Pan Mei. There are also a few generals who did not give their names. But it seems that they are not weak in strength. "
"Cen Peng is here too?"
Gao Xi looked shocked. Cen Peng and Feng Yi were both talented generals and were generals that Liu Xiu relied on very much. Especially Cen Peng had enough time to practice after the Heavenly Change and had successfully broken through to the Heavenly Realm.
After receiving Feng Yi's memorial in Luoyang, Cen Peng brought some generals and a small number of elites to help as quickly as possible. Especially the ninth-level general from the source, in order to rush for time, he even gave up his soldiers and did not hesitate to expend his strength to fly through the air.
However, they came too late.
"Your Majesty is determined to win the war quickly, and he is indeed wise. If Cen Peng and others are allowed to enter the Han army's camp, then our army will have no choice but to stalemate with the Han army, and the losses will be ten times greater than now!"
Gao Xi said happily.
When saying this, he also glanced at Liu Bowen. This usually relatively silent military advisor had indeed a sharp vision and could see through the enemy's thoughts.
This time, Liu Bowen's advice deserves the first credit for defeating the Han army as quickly as possible. Next are Fu Youde, the three heaven-level experts. Cen Peng, Wang Yanzhang, Xia Luqi, and the beheaded Pan Mei... were not weak in strength.
"Well, the main force of the Han army has been defeated now. Even if there are more Cen Peng, Wang Yanzhang and others, the Han army can only protect Xiangyang and other places in a short period of time, and will not have the strength to go south!"
Wang Jing smiled.
Everyone laughed when they heard this. Yes, without hundreds of thousands of troops and only a few ninth-level generals, Cen Peng and Feng Yi could not pose a threat to Jiangling even if they were astonishingly capable.
In other words, after the defeat of these famous Yuntai generals, Jingchu and other places were considered to be swallowed up by the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Our army has won a great victory in this battle, but we cannot underestimate the Han army. Cen Peng Jiafu is already in two heavens. If Feng Yi also breaks through, then there will be three heavens in Xiangyang."
"When the Han army recovers its morale and mobilizes soldiers and food, they will inevitably continue to send troops to fight with our army!" Gao Xi reminded.
With the addition of Cen Peng, the Xia army would not be able to take advantage of the situation to seize Xiangyang after their victory. However, with Xiangyang as a fulcrum, the Han army could keep the land in the Han River Basin.
Daxia expanded too fast and swallowed up too much land. For a long time, it was unable to take care of the land on the north bank of the Yangtze River. In the future, the Xia army and the Han army will continue to stalemate along the river.
"Let's talk about this later. Now that our army has won a great victory, the next step is to consolidate the land of Jingchu! Jiangling is the core area of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and it is also the key to Daxia's ability to completely occupy the south!"
"Such an important place must be guarded by generals!"
Wang Jing said in a deep voice, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and paused for a moment on Fu Youde.
"General Fu, I will not stay in Jiangling for long. After I lead my army back, you will be the general manager of the Jiangling camp. You will be named a former general and command the three camps of Jiangling, Yiling and Baling! I will entrust the land of Jingchu to the general. Already!"
Wang Jing said.
Jingchu was still too far away from Jinling. At this time, Anqing, Jiujiang and other places had just been captured. The Daxia Dynasty had not yet completely digested these places. If it were not for the Yangtze River waterway that ran from east to west, Daxia would not have been able to get involved in Jingchu.
In a place like Jiangling, Wang Jing would either be in charge personally.
Or, we must appoint a general to take charge of Jingchu's military affairs. Taking charge of Jingchu... This is a feudal official with great power. If the general guarding this place has an impure mind, it will cause extremely serious consequences.
Wang Jing was not afraid of his life being threatened by his generals.
But the Tianjing generals rebelled, and it was difficult for him to solve them.
In the Great Xia Dynasty, the only qualified general who could reassure Wang Jing now was Fu Youde. "Thank you, Your Majesty.
You will definitely live up to His Majesty’s great trust! "
Fu Youde felt a joy in his heart. He quickly suppressed his emotions and stepped forward to raise his hands.
Former general! The titles of the four generals on the front, left, and right began to surpass those of the four expeditions, four towns, and generals with various titles. According to his achievements, the title of the county prince would be promoted one more level, and he was expected to be the county prince.
By doing this, he became the general with the highest title and status in the Great Xia Dynasty.
The Han army in Xiangyang in the north has Feng Yicen and Peng Jiafu. After Wang Jing leaves, Fu Youde cannot be allowed to fight against the powerful enemy alone. In addition to him, general Yuwen Chengdu and military counselor Xie Hui will also stay in Jiangling to assist Fu Youde in handling military affairs.
"The news of the Han army's defeat will spread quickly. When the Shu army attacking Yiling hears the news, they will definitely withdraw their troops immediately..."
Wang Jing pondered slightly, thinking about whether to send Yuwen Chengdu and Yang Zaixing to Yiling to join forces with Lu Bu to raid the Shu army and kill several of their famous generals...
But after thinking about it seriously, I decided to leave it at that.
If Zhang Fei is really killed, I'm afraid Liu Bei and Guan Yu will use all their strength to take revenge. Before Jingchu is stabilized, it would be better to have fewer such feuds.
Wang Jing was not afraid of the other party, but was sizing up the situation.
In the future, if the situation is favorable and they encounter the Shu army again, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will definitely attack without mercy.
