Chapter 448

Li Tan's career has been extremely smooth. It can be said that he has not encountered any obstacles. He is inevitably energetic when he is young, and inadvertently offends others.

In the Chaoge battlefield, Shi Xuan retreated with Donggong Gaoli and Jie people. The miscellaneous soldiers saw that they had fled after they left, and Huanwen's counter attack was almost immediately defeated.

A defeat did not bring much fruit to Huanwen's headquarters. It only killed 35, 000 people and captured more than 27, 000. This is related to the fatigue of Huan Wen's headquarters. They have been surrounded for too long, the troops are fighting in rotation, and they don't have many cavalry, so their achievements are quite limited.

The final decisive stage was unsatisfactory. After fighting for one month and 19 days, we achieved great results. The statistical data is that more than 80000 enemy troops were destroyed, and their loss is the loss of nearly 30000 combat effectiveness. The statistical number of soldiers killed on our side is 1407.

Later, ran min came in person and informed that Xie an and Li Kuang had acted according to the plan.

It is known that xie'an stopped Shi Xuanyu's retreat and the two sides fought about 40 miles northwest of Chaoge. Li Kuang's headquarters also encountered the enemy. What they reported was that they met a small number of enemy troops.

The Shijie Zhao army encountered by Li Kuang was the group that collapsed from the Chaoge battlefield. Of course, the Shijie rout soldiers who lost their organizational system were small groups. Their main task was to pack and clip. Most of them continued to move towards their destination, leaving a small number of troops to recruit and surrender the Shijie rout soldiers.

There is no new news about the war situation on xie'an's side. Ran min's order is to let Li Tan lead the headquarters to support, and arrange the old Department to dismount and be willing to lead 10000 light cavalries as a support.

The Yulin army is a sudden cavalry. One man and three horses are very suitable as a support force. Li Tan, who got the order, left happily without seeing Huan Wen's bad eyes.

Ran min gave several more orders, probably taking advantage of the collapse of the Shijie Zhao army in this direction, and the troops did not stop to rest, so they should push forward as much as possible.

Waiting for their troops to pull out, ran min specially entered the battalion of Huanwen Institute. After observation, he could find that it was a very tired army, and there were a large number of wounded soldiers in the wounded battalion.

"You played hard." Ran min wandered around the wounded camp, and some people's names could be called out. He went out of the wounded camp and said to Huan Wen, "it won't be long before the will of the king will be conveyed."

Huan Wen is blind to the current situation. He intends to ask, but he sees ran min's attitude is cold and bears it.

Ran min's cold attitude is because the situation of his old subordinates is too miserable. He can't have any attitude towards the king. He can only complain about Huan Wen as the main general.

At the end of the Chaoge war, reinforcements came in a hurry and went quickly. Huan Wen paid careful attention. The number of troops going north should be 134000, and the number of cavalry reached 80000. The infantry carried enough siege equipment.

About an hour after all the Northern Expedition Corps went north, Wang Meng arrived with Liu Yan's will, accompanied by some reward materials.

There are two wills brought by Wang Meng.

The first purpose is to reward Huan Wen and his officers and men for their fighting spirit in extremely difficult circumstances. The promotion of titles and officials should also be promoted.

The second purpose was to order Huanwen's headquarters to become the reserve team of the Northern Expedition corps and let them rest on the spot.

"Secretary lang." Huan Wen was very impressed by Wang Meng, but they had no friendship. He said hello first, then saluted and asked, "can you tell me something that has happened recently?"

Wang Meng didn't dare to ask big. He didn't have too urgent tasks to complete. He patiently told Huan Wen what had happened recently.

The biggest thing is that Shi Hu provoked racial hatred. Although the Hu people were violent everywhere in the Han Dynasty, because the Han country had been prepared for it, the violent movement of the Hu people looked very big, but it was not enough to subvert.

"News keeps coming from the north." Wang Meng had obvious grief and said, "the Jin people in Shijie fought their own battles and were killed very seriously. The more they went north, the more miserable they were."

Huan Wen specially pointed out to Wang Meng that the title of "Jin people" is actually a depressed attitude. The small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has now become a joke, and the title of Jin people is equal to weakness.

"The king sent a fast horse to send a message and organize resistance everywhere." Wang Meng didn't know what he thought. He sighed: "there is no new news back for the time being. I hope the situation can be improved."

Huan Wen didn't care who the Hu people slaughtered. What he wanted to know was the development of the war situation. When his patience was almost exhausted, Wang Meng finally talked about the relevant part.

"The purpose of marching and retreating here is to stretch the enemy and create the illusion that our army is going to retreat. Make good use of the time gap and the psychological changes of the enemy to make a surprise attack." What Wang Meng said has been realized, and the facts have proved that the plan is effective, that is, it failed to annihilate the main force of Shijie in Chaoge. He said what Huan Wen wanted to know most: "the king compiled the Northern Expedition corps, with ran, the general of the northern expedition, as the main general, and the order was to go all the way north."

[it seems that the impact of Hu people's violent rise on the hinterland is really limited?] Huan Wen looked forward to the formation of the Northern Expedition Corps this time and thought: [it's time to rest the headquarters as soon as possible!]

Wang Meng was talking about the war in Jizhou.

The Jizhou battlefield has been deadlocked for nearly two years. LV Tai's headquarters took zhangshui as the line to confront and tug of war with Shibin's border corps and murongge's Xianbei cavalry in Hejian county and Bohai county.

Recently, there have been a lot of repeated battles in Jizhou.

In order to support the Han and Miao people in Shijie, LV Tai's headquarters launched a river crossing attack. Shi Bin's border Corps was unprepared and killed LV Tai's headquarters into the hinterland of Zhangwu County.

In the early stage, Shi bin wanted to open up space and let LV Tai's department go deep enough to cut off the back road of LV Tai's department and fight a siege and annihilation war directly in Zhangwu County.

LV Tai's headquarters really killed deep enough in Shi Bin's intention to make room. What they did most along the way was to gather up their compatriots who were willing to flee south. After Shi bin discovered this move, Shi bin deliberately drove Jin people to LV Tai's headquarters. The more people LV Tai's headquarters gathered, the slower the action would be, which would be more beneficial to Shi Bin's encirclement and annihilation of LV Tai's headquarters.

"After the king mobilized ships to enter the inland from the Bohai Sea and was found by Shi bin, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides in the Zhangwu reach of zhangshui." Wang Meng was not very clear about the process. He said briefly, "until the end of the battle, about 170000 people were rescued in Jizhou, and nearly 20000 troops were lost."

At this moment, Huan Wen was thinking: "don't do too many such uneconomic things."

"During this period, Murong Ge launched an attack on the South Bank of zhangshui." When Wang Meng saw Huan Wen stunned, he thought Huan Wen was interested in the war in Jizhou: "since Lu Lang will go north, how can there be no new troops in zhangshui, but murongge encountered an ambush..."

Huan Wen didn't want to listen to the war in Jizhou. He casually said a few words and asked, "we are the only one on this northern expedition?"

Wang menggang was still talking about murongge's sudden decision when he was ambushed, leaving his tail broken and retreating. When Huan Wen asked, he smiled bitterly and said, "Meng is just a secretary lang..."

Secretary Lang's official position is not high, even below the middle level. Three gongs and nine Qings have at least one secretary lang. Wang Meng is a secretary Lang who directly serves the king.

Seeing that he couldn't find out why, Huan Wen chatted with Wang Meng relatively patiently, but Wang Meng saw that he was dealing with it and took the initiative to leave.

Wang Meng left and swam around the big tent for a while before he went in to see Huan Wen.

Tiaoyou didn't meet with ran min this time. In fact, he was avoiding suspicion and didn't know how to face ran min. He hesitated a lot at the most critical moment, and even thought of surrendering to Shi Xuan. At the end, he strengthened his position.

"Long history comes just in time." Huan Wen was very warm to tiaoyou. He asked him to sit down without gossip. He said directly, "what the general meant is that the troops need to rest in two days."

A stunned expression flashed on TIAOYU's face. They had been surrounded for nearly two months. The troops were unusually tired. It was absolutely normal to rest for two or three months. He knew that Huan Wen was eager to make achievements. He used the tone of command rather than discussion. He didn't know how to answer for a while.

"The battle of Puyang broke up before it was fought. Our task became an isolated army to attract the enemy." Huan Wen said with emotion, "we insisted for forty-nine days, but there was a complaint behind us."

When Li Tan said that unpleasant remark, tiaoyou was also present.

"I don't know how long Shi thinks, but Ben will feel very angry." Huan Wen really had an angry look on his face. He also scolded Li Tan by name and surname. Then he said, "for the nine Ren mountain, he didn't want to fall short. Since Shi Xuan escaped from us, we should destroy them!"

"The king has issued a reward will and rewards..." TIAOYU thought about it and said uncertainly: "the siege has been lifted, and there are seals and rewards. The morale of the soldiers is still high, but it is difficult to lift their fatigue for a while..."

"Long history!" Huan Wen said in a high tone, "if you spread the things complained about, you would not believe the officers and men and don't want to argue!"

TIAOYU thought: [come on, for the sake of meritorious service, Li Tan is the target. But it's also a good way!]

Li Tan, who was taken out by Huan Wen as a target to inspire his headquarters, led his army north and bit Shi Xuan's tail in less than half an hour.

Following Shi Xuan to withdraw to Shangdang County, there are not only Donggong Gaoli and Jie people, but also a considerable number of troops composed of Qiang, Di and Xiongnu. The armed forces of the latter three ethnic groups are out of Zhang Qun's mind. They are mainly afraid that the Han army will chase them and intend to take them with them. When they are chased, there may be troops behind the palace.

According to Zhang Qun's original intention, he refused Shi Xuan to withdraw to Shangdang County instead of returning to Yecheng to join Shi Hu. But Shi Xuan was too determined to see Shi Hu. What can he do.

Shi Xuan's troops are definitely unlucky. The army's wide range of reconnaissance cavalry (scouts) usually investigate within 30 miles of the headquarters, which also serves as an early warning. They don't know that there is a Han Army such as xie'an in the northwest of Chaoge. When they wait to know, Qian Jiantong and Li Tan's headquarters have been stationed in Chaoge.

Zhang Qun advised Shi Xuan to turn to Yecheng. Shi Xuan was really afraid of being killed by Shi Hu. He insisted on his own opinion and bumped into Xie an's department without accident.

Before Li Tan led his troops north, Xie an's headquarters and Shi Xuan's headquarters had been engaged in a cruising war, that is, one side tried every means to break through and continue to retreat to the northwest, while the other side kept biting. Both sides had been constantly changing horses and riding for a whole day.

"Prisoner?" Li Tan doesn't want to stop to rest at all. The problem is that the mount can't stand it. He urged his men to feed the horses quickly and said casually, "we don't have so much spare time. The prisoners will be thrown to the horses behind us. Let's ride lightly."

Since Yao Yizhong was defeated and captured by the Han Army, the minds of the Qiang people have plummeted. The white point is that the Qiang people will feel guilty before fighting against the Han army. If they can't fight, they won't hold on. They will accept surrender.

The situation of the Di people is only a little better than that of the Qiang people. Their general leader went to Longxi and Beidi. The Di people in the central plains are in a headless situation and work for the Jie people habitually. Without the restriction of the general leader, they are timid and don't dare to work hard.

The five major tribes of Xiongnu in Shuofang were also beaten on the ground by the Tuoba state. The Xiongnu people should be the most hypocritical race now. The number of Xiongnu in the Central Plains is small, not to mention that most of them are scattered. With the benchmark of Qian Jiantong, the Huns scattered in the Han Dynasty simply sinicized themselves.

The Han army of Litan often captured hundreds of Qiang, Di and Hun people with dozens of people. The phenomenon is that the Han army looks down on the prisoners, and 10000 or 20000 prisoners dare to stare at two or three thousand people.

Ma was willing to lead the army. When he came, he saw that there were only 2000 prisoners of war, but the headquarters of Li Tan was missing. When he learned that Li Tan had thrown the prisoner of war to himself, he smiled bitterly and said to his subordinates, "arrange..." after a pause, he said, "Li Lang will dare to arrange 20000 guards. Let's add another 3000 people to make up 5000. We still need to hurry back to Chaoge."

Standing on the side waiting for the handover, Hou Li Jun of the Yulin army hurriedly said, "no, the order we get is to catch up with the big army immediately after the handover."

"...." Ma Yuan frowned immediately. He was a general and Li was a military marquis. They were two levels worse, but Li was a feather army. Although he didn't hide his displeasure, he couldn't say anything more.

The former Qin state of Ran has fully entered the Han state. Apart from some of Ran min's family officials, most of them have become the official system of the Han state. They basically choose to be a low-key man, especially those who follow Liu Yan's rise in the end.

"Sorry, General Ma." Li Jun said apologetically, "the military order can't be violated. When the war is over, they all give drinks to thank for today's understanding."

Ma wished that he felt better. After all, he put his body lower, but he still had some emotions.
