Xiao Qingzhi, Cai Yang, Xia Houhu, Gu Tong, Nie Feng and others led the army to cover up the killing, which was extremely tyrannical. In addition, the Chu army continued to break through and evacuate. The strength of both sides waxed and waned, so the Chu army suffered greater losses.
From the beginning, some Chu soldiers resisted. However, after covering up the killing for a while, Qu Ping and Li Jinglong of Chu's army had already left with their troops. The remaining soldiers of Chu gave up resistance and chose to surrender.
More and more soldiers are surrendering.
This is like a snowball, and the situation is becoming more and more favorable to China. The cover-up continued for more than half an hour. Finally, the army stopped covering up the kill and all withdrew, starting to take stock of the situation of the battle.
After everything was counted, Xiao Qingzhi came to Wang Qi's side, looking slightly excited, and reported: "Your Highness, in this battle, we killed more than 6,900 enemies, and captured more than 6,900 soldiers. , more than 23,800 people."
"Our own losses were only more than 1,800 soldiers. Overall, this battle was a great victory. It's a pity that the general of Chu fled first and never caught up with the opponent."
Xiao Qingzhi was both excited and regretful.
Because he failed to catch Qu Ping.
"If the prime minister of Chu is captured, the impact on Chu will be great.
Wang Qi smiled and said: "The victory in this battle is enough. This time Chu State lost Xiong Yuanxiang and more than 30,000 people, and was defeated and retreated. The country of Chu will not be peaceful. . Now we can relax a little and start solving the internal affairs of Qi State."
Xiao Qingzhi said: "Your Highness is wise!"
After a pause, Xiao Qingzhi said: "Your Highness, are we really not going to attack Chu for the time being?"
Wang Qi said: "Inappropriate!"
Zhou Zishan took the words and said from the side: "To fight from Qi to Chu, our only supply at the moment is from Qingzhou to Xuzhou, and then from Xuzhou to Jiujiang and Lujiang. The battle line is too long and far, and it consumes too much."
"In such a situation, the consumption of food, grass, ordnance, military pay, etc. is countless. Furthermore, we have extended the front line to attack the Chu State, which will easily give other people an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"The Chu State is located in a corner and is not a strategic location. Instead of wasting time on the Chu State, it is better to use our hands to deal with Yangzhou. Today, Yangzhou is experiencing further internal turmoil. We only need to rest and rest. After the spring of next year, maybe there will be At the right time, attack Yangzhou Yuan Wei."
"When we capture Yangzhou and then attack Chu, we can use Yangzhou as the foundation without having to extend the front line. So right now, it is definitely not suitable to attack Chu first."
"On the other hand, this year's potato and corn harvests are bumper, and rice and other grains are also harvested. We have no problem being self-sufficient in food. Once the sweet potatoes are harvested, the food storage will be even more stable, and there will be no Any food crisis."
"It will be easy for Qi to expand by then."
Zhou Zishan said: "If you have food in your hands, you will not panic. The foundation of Qi will be solid, and its future development will be faster. Even then, you can conquer the east and the west without restraint."
Wang Qi nodded and said: "I agree with the military advisor's analysis. At the moment, we don't need to be obsessed with the gains and losses of one city or one place in the Chu Kingdom. Maybe if we enter the Chu Kingdom now, we can capture one or two cities. But the Chu Kingdom is in the south. It has been hundreds of years since our country was founded, and it is not easy for us to establish a foothold in Chu."
"Instead of wasting energy on Chu State, it is better to destroy Yuan Wei first."
"So we will first withdraw to Jiujiang County, and then return to Qi State. Next, we will deal with Yuan Wei. The original plan was to wait for one or two years before dealing with Yuan Wei, and we even had to plan for Jizhou first. But now we have food The harvest is good, the foundation is solid, and Yuan Wei is weak, then dealing with Yuan Wei can be put on the agenda."
"There are many original plans that can speed up the process, but also need to be adjusted."
¡°Before, Zhou Zishan, Zhou Cang and others had considered and mentioned the attack on Yuan Wei. Now that the situation has changed, it is naturally different.
Having said this, Wang Qi introduced Yuan Cang to Zhou Zishan, Xiao Qingzhi and others, and told Yuan Cang's arrangements.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????"
Even everyone was shocked. They did not expect that as soon as Yuan Cang arrived, he would directly assume the position of imperial censor and take charge of the first department.
This is an important position.
After Wang Qi talked about the general situation, he stopped staying and ordered: "Let's set off and retreat to Shu County."
"yes!"
Everyone answered in unison.
The army set off and startedGo in the direction of Shu County.
When Wang Qi mobilized his troops to return, Qu Ping and Li Jinglong on the other side fled in embarrassment, leading the army to evacuate quickly. They retreated all the way, not daring to delay halfway. After retreating for more than twenty miles, they found that there were no pursuers in the rear. After they were completely safe, they ordered to stop and rest while waiting for the follow-up soldiers to return.
Qu Ping didn¡¯t know how many soldiers had been lost, but he sighed in his heart.
Defeated!
And the losses are extremely huge.
This battle was a huge loss.
Qu Ping waited for about two-quarters of an hour, during which many soldiers came back one after another. At about this time, the number of soldiers returning from the rear slowly decreased. Qu Ping stopped wasting time and ordered Li Jinglong to count the number of people.
After an inventory, the number of people was only more than 19,600, less than 20,000.
Although it is said that soldiers will come back one after another. However, the losses in this battle were undoubtedly huge. After all, the number of troops invested in this battle at the beginning was a full 60,000. Today, there are less than 20,000 people left. This loss is too great and an immeasurable loss.
Qu Ping looked at Li Jinglong and said: "General Li, not only did we lose this battle, but we also damaged Duke Xiong. This time when I return to the country, I really don't know what to do, so I will explain it to Your Majesty."
Li Jinglong rolled his eyes and said faintly: "Prime Minister Qu, I don't blame you this time. From the subsequent fighting, we can see that the opponent's strength is actually not many, at most it is not far from ours."
"If I had ordered a fight to the death from the beginning. Even if we were defeated and the losses of our soldiers would not be so huge, we would not be so embarrassed. This battle was a mistake in my command."
"If I had not ordered the withdrawal of troops, this situation would not have happened. Everything is my problem. When I return to Xiangyang, I will apologize to His Majesty."
He took the initiative to take over the responsibility.
Because he listened to Qu Ping and seemed to want to shirk responsibility.
Qu Ping smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "General Li, you have misunderstood. I have no intention of shirking responsibility. This battle was originally planned by me. You are the commander-in-chief of the army, but in fact, you also obey my arrangements."
"When I return to Xiangyang, I will apologize to Your Majesty. What I am thinking about is how to explain to Your Majesty that Chu suffered huge losses after losing this battle. Even the country will be affected by this battle. .¡±
"Before this, the Wuxi barbarians in the south and the rest of the barbarians began to rebel. In addition, after the death of the third prince, the government and the public had begun to quarrel because the candidate for the prince was undecided."
"I suggest that your Majesty send troops because I hope to win a lightning battle and a quick victory. In the end, even if there is turmoil in the country, it will be suppressed quickly enough and there will be no problems."
Qu Ping sighed and said: "But I didn't expect that the losses in this battle would be so huge. At this time, Chu State is suffering from internal and external troubles. This is what I am worried about."
When Li Jinglong heard this, he said: "The general has misunderstood the prime minister."
What he just understood was that Qu Ping, on the surface asking him what to do, was actually shirking responsibility.
That¡¯s what he said.
Li Jinglong felt at ease and continued: "Prime Minister, in my opinion, due to internal and external troubles, it is impossible to attack Wang Qi again. Even if we want to take revenge, it will be impossible to send troops in a short time, and we must deal with the internal troubles first. So I think For Wuxi barbarians, you can lure snakes out of their holes.¡±
Qu Ping asked: "How to lure a snake out of its hole?"
Li Jinglong said in a deep voice: "Directly publicize our defeat. In the Wuxi barbarians and other places where the other southern barbarians gather, publicize the news of the army's defeat and domestic turmoil. If the barbarians hear the news, they will definitely send troops."
"We set up the net early and are waiting. As long as they come out, we can catch them all."
"We will accomplish all our work in one battle and completely defeat the Wuxi Barbarians and other barbarians in the south. As long as we win in one battle, we will not need to worry about our own safety in the next three to five years."
Li Jinglong said: "What do you think, Prime Minister?"
After hearing this, Qu Ping's eyes lit up and he praised: "This is a good suggestion. When I return to Xiangyang, I will report to His Majesty to arrange domestic affairs. Alas, it is still difficult to communicate with Your Majesty. But no matter how difficult it is, it will be done. Gotta go on.¡±
Li Jinglong didn¡¯t say much.
He is the one who performs the task.
He will carry out the task however he arranges it, and he can't control the rest.
Qu Ping didn't say anything more and asked Li Jinglong to take his soldiers to rest. After resting for about two quarters of an hour, Qu Ping ordered to set off towards Xiangyang of Chu State.
