Chapter 1308

In the palace of Luoyang, Huangfu Chaobo gathered Guo Jia and Fazheng together. On the one hand, he summarized several wars in the Tang Dynasty in the past two months, and on the other hand, he arranged for Shangjun affairs.

"Dear Aiqing, this joint attack by the states of Kanto has ended, but it is a rare defeat in recent years. The loss of the city and the land is not to mention, but also a great general. It can be said that the losses are heavy. You can freely express your suggestions on the follow-up arrangements. " Huangfu chaobo'an sat on the throne and walked towards the palace;

"however, before that, let Yuanzhi tell us about the losses of several wars, so that we can have a bottom in our hearts."

Hearing the speech, Xu Shu quickly got up and saluted Huangfu Chaobo. Then he saluted the rest of the people. Then he said, "I tell you that the statistics of Hebei and Yanzhou battlefields have been made a few days ago, and they have been presented to you, but I haven't explained them to you."

With that, Xu Shu opened a memorial he had brought with him. It was a copy of the memorial he had submitted to Huangfu Chaobo a few days ago. He explained the losses of the two wars to the people in the palace.

On the Hebei battlefield, the Tang army successively invested about 30000 soldiers in the three cities of Handan, Weixian and Liangqi. The cavalry included 11000 cavalry of Baima Yicong, 50000 cavalry of Weijun in Yecheng, 50000 cavalry of Hanoi, 100000 cavalry of Huben in Luoyang, 50000 cavalry of Henan in Luoyang, 50000 cavalry of Hongnong and 100000 cavalry of Tujia in Jinwei Seven thousand Xiliang cavalry of general shanghuaxiong and one or two thousand cavalry in several cities, a total of 60000 cavalry.

After less than a month's fighting, there were still about 5000 soldiers left, and the total number of cavalry and wounded soldiers was less than 20000. In other words, in less than a month, 40000 cavalry were lost. No one could easily afford such a large number of cavalry.

After listening to Xu Shu's words, all the people here took a long breath of cold air. Forty thousand cavalry, like all the cavalry of Qi, are not so many. At present, only the four kingdoms of Tang, Wei, Zhao and Yan can reach this number.

Pang Tong could not help but ask: "how about the losses of the Wei Zhao allied forces?"

Xu Shu coughed a little, and then he continued: "according to the information collected at present, the number of soldiers lost by Wei state should be about 60000, while the number of cavalry lost by Wei state should be about 20000. Moreover, most of the cavalry lost by Wei state were the elite of Hebei cavalry directly under Yuan Shao. As for the state of Zhao, the loss of cavalry was about 20000, especially the loss of Bingzhou wolf cavalry by King Lu Bu of Zhao was nearly 10000, which can be said to be a heavy loss. "

After hearing this news, people were a little relieved. The loss of 40000 cavalry was in exchange for maiming the elite cavalry of Wei and Zhao. In this respect, the loss was not very serious.

Another point is that although the cavalry lost 40000, after the two cavalry wars, the war horses were collected. In particular, Cao Xingbu's and Yuan shaobu's war horses were finally collected by the Tang army, so there are still plenty of war horses today.

"King, it's a plan now. We need to send a group of cavalry back from Yanbei County as soon as possible, and replenish several elite cavalry as soon as possible." Lu Sulian was busy;

"yes, it's urgent to replenish the cavalry. After several elite cavalry are replenished, it will take some time to train and reorganize, so the sooner the better." Pang Tong said,

after hearing the speech, Huangfu nodded, turned to Guo Jia and said, "fengxiao, is there any special situation coming from Yanbei recently?"

The reason for this question is that Zhao Zilong and his party went to Yanbei County in the East after breaking through the attack of Zhao army. However, recently, because Huangfu Chaobo was busy with the war, he did not remember to contact them at all, so he did not ask them whether they had arrived.

Guo Jia shakes her head and is about to speak when Shi a suddenly asks for a meeting outside the hall.

"Pass it

Soon, Shi a entered the palace, saluted Huangfu Chao, and said, "I tell you, sir, that the news from Yanbei county is that Zhao Taishou and his party have arrived in Yanbei county. Yesterday, General Huang found Zhao Taishou and his party more than 200 miles northwest of Ethan city. And

"Oh, they finally got to Yanbei, and what?" Huangfu Chaobo asked strangely when he saw Shi A's desire to talk and stop talking;

"besides, there was an unexpected person with Zhao Taishou and his party, that is, general Yan Gang, Shanggu Taishou of Yan state, and one of his relatives and guards." Shia stopped for a moment and said with a smile;

"Well!"

"Oh! Is Yan Gang not dead

All of them were surprised. The battle in Shanggu had been over for more than a month. They all thought that Yan Gang might have died in the chaos. Unexpectedly, he would suddenly appear on the grassland and be with Zhao Zilong and others.

Huangfu Chaobo sat up a little, looked at Shi a with great interest and said, "what's the situation of general Yan and his party? What's more, has the Mongolian prefect informed the king of Yan about general Yan's arrival in Yanbei? "Shi a, with a wry smile on his face, said: "this matter is about to be reported to the king. After general Yan joined with General Huang's army, he has got the reaction of King Yan to the disappearance of Shanggu people, so So general Yan asked General Huang not to tell the people of Yan that he was still alive and had arrived in Yanbei. He wanted to stay in Yanbei for a while

Huangfu is extremely rich and dumb. Gongsun Zan's cool and thin character has made his subordinates lose their hearts. It's true. You should know that these are all the old people who started from scratch with Gongsun Zan. Now he is the king of a country, but he alienates his old brothers. It's not unbearable for them to believe in those righteous brothers, but it's just a slight remark about Yan Gang's disappearance It's really hard for Yan Gang to deal with the situation.

"How to arrange the soldiers under general Yan? How can they hide the fact that general Yan broke out with them?" Xu Shu asked;

"after general Yan got the attitude of the king of Yan, general Yan made it clear to all his subordinates that most of them did not want to go back to the army of Yan, so general Yan was ready to let them all join the army of Yanbei county. Only a few dozen of them wanted to go back to the state of Yan, but they all vowed that they would never reveal general Yan So in the end, general Yan gave them a sum of money and let them leave. "
