The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 433 Youyan has many strong men ([-])
"Here, this guy just ran away like this?"

Looking at the Meng Guan team who is far away, Wen Yang was a little silly for a while.But he soon came to his senses: just now our side lost the opportunity because of the reflection of the sun, if everyone turns around and fights again at this time, then the Han army has the upper hand.For Meng Guan, a small loss to the well-trained Han army cavalry would not lead to collapse, but if his militia suffered from such a small loss, it would easily collapse.Therefore, it is the best choice to retreat quickly after taking advantage of it.

"General, is our army pursuing?"

"Pursuit?" Wen Yang quickly shook his head: "Our army traveled more than 60 miles today to the foot of the Great Wall, but we fought a battle before the camp had time. I'm extremely tired. Forget it, let's withdraw our troops and build a stronghold for now."

"Here!"

"After the whole army settles down, count today's casualties immediately. Well, by the way, also count the enemy's casualties."

"Subordinates take orders."

Soon, the battle damage report came out.After Wen Yang and Bei Gongxiong listened to the report, their faces were very ugly.

This encounter took less than an hour before and after.Of the 500 cavalrymen of the Han army, more than [-] were killed, and more than [-] were seriously injured and could no longer fight.This means that one-fifth of the troops are gone.In addition to this loss, more than [-] people were slightly injured, which will affect the follow-up march and battle to some extent.

And the most irritating thing is that the Wenyang team encountered the enemy suddenly, and our team quickly joined the battle, but the people who transported the food and the livestock supported by Tuoba Xianbei were still behind.So at this time, the Wenyang team didn't dare to rest, and had to quickly dispatch a group of troops to meet the food team behind - otherwise, God knows where Uncle Meng would come out to attack?
"General Wen, after cleaning the battlefield, a total of more than 300 enemy corpses were found, and there were more than [-] wounded soldiers who were seriously injured and unable to move."

"Hmph, kill all the enemy's wounded soldiers! Our army is fighting far from the rear, and the general doesn't have the energy to heal them. Our wounded soldiers will be transferred to the Tuoba Department first after the food team from behind comes up."

"Uh... General, this time the troops are dispatched, Da Sima must instruct the prisoners to be kind..."

"Yes, we should treat the prisoners kindly, but how can our army treat them kindly now? No way, I, Wenyang, have borne all the crimes by myself. Left and right, tell me to go down and be careful when cleaning the battlefield, check back and forth several times, don't Let go of a living creature!"

"Here!"

"This... hey~" With a long sigh, Bei Gongxiong no longer stopped Wenyang: "General, what is the next step for our army? Then Uncle Meng has already abandoned the Great Wall defense line. Will our army break through the Great Wall?"

"Otherwise, our army has less than 8000 people left after this battle, and many brothers are wounded. In addition, our army is all cavalry. In this way, our army's offensive capabilities are insufficient, and it is too risky to enter the hinterland of Youzhou. Besides, the task given to us by the general is to restrain the 2 men from Uncle Meng, so as to ensure that the general's team will not be harassed when they attack Gaoliu. The army. Even if that guy had prepared in advance, the food he carried with the army was limited, and he couldn't maneuver long distances at all. Based on my calculations, he would still have to move along the Great Wall after all... As long as he is found, I will definitely do it next time. Cut off the head of this official with your own hands!"

"Good advice, General, Xiong bows down!"

"Hey, no matter what, our army fought an ugly battle! Where are the military documents? Hurry up, I'm going to plead guilty to the chief Sima and the general."

……

After disengaging from the Wenyang team, Meng Guan led his troops to turn westward, and then turned southward when the sky began to darken.At midnight, the gray outline of the Yinshan Mountains once again appeared in front of everyone in the moonlight.

"Spread out sentries and establish a cordon. The rest of the soldiers, all get off their horses and rest! In addition, order all officers above the lieutenant and veterans over 40 years old to gather in front of this general!"

After arranging all this, Meng Guan turned over and got off the horse, but when he got off the horse, he felt a sharp pain in his back and shoulders: After all, he took the lead in the charge and raised such a bright banner, so he naturally became the target of the opponent's concentrated attack , it would be really strange not to get hurt.

He called his personal guards to remove his armor and treat his wounds. These things haven't been sorted out yet.The participants are almost here.

"Everyone is here? Very good, have the ministries counted the casualties...Well, speaking of it, our army probably lost more than 200 brothers in this battle. Hey, this is only two hedges."

No one said that there might be wounded among the more than 4000 people—everyone knew that since our side withdrew from the battlefield first, the wounded on our side could basically be counted as dead.

After a while of silence, Meng Guan asked again: "How many minor injuries were there for those who followed our brigade all the way down?"

"Reporting to the envoy, there are about [-] people. All the ministries are carrying out simple bandaging."

"Good, how much food and grass does our army have?"

"Uh... Since the envoy of this battle asked us to charge lightly, the whole army currently only has the dry rations carried by the sergeants. Save some food, at most two days."

"Two days..." After pondering for a while, Meng Guan smiled slightly: "That's enough."

"What does the envoy mean?"

"Everyone, please come and see." Meng Guan pulled out his sword and scratched it on the ground: "Our army is about thirty miles away from the Great Wall. Turn southeast from here, and within ten miles you will be Xie Qiushui. There is a river valley in this water, and the terrain along the bank is very flat, which is good for the cavalry to advance. In this way, the mountain of Yinshan will not have much impact on our army. In this way, we can quickly enter the Great Wall through the Xieqiu River. After entering the Great Wall, we will go back to the Great Wall More than [-] miles to the southwest is Macheng. Before this departure, I have ordered the civilian team to escort the food and grass to Macheng. After we completed the supply in Macheng, we went south along the inner wall of the Great Wall to Gaoliu and searched again. Fighter!"

"So that's the way it is. If you run at full speed for a distance of more than 50 miles, it will only take you a day."

"Yeah, so there will be no problem with food."

"I wish you a high opinion! I will worship you!"

"Hey~~" Waved his hand, Meng Guan stood up, straightened his clothes and saluted the dozens of veterans beside him solemnly: "In today's battle, Guan rushed to the front and didn't take care of the rear. If it weren't for everyone Strong man, our army's losses today may be more than [-]%! I would like to thank you all!"

It can be said that after all, he was born in a small wealthy family, and Meng Guan did not have the fault of ordinary family members not treating common people as human beings.Therefore, this prayer is very sincere.

No one is stupid, anyone can tell whether you are showing off or sincerely thanking you.Therefore, after Meng Guan bowed deeply, these dozens of veterans jumped up as if they were electrocuted.

"Your Majesty, don't do this, it's really a shame!"

"Yes, the envoy has been in charge of our Youzhou for these years, and has treated the people of our Youzhou extremely preferentially. At this time, the envoy has something to do, and I will wait and serve!"

"Not only that, although the envoy is the governor of Youzhou, the people of Pingzhou have received a lot of favor from the envoy. If there is no envoy, I would have ceased to exist in this world long ago. Today I will return my life to the envoy. It should be!"

In the past three years when Meng Guan has been in charge of Youzhou, the entire Youzhou and Pingzhou have been a big colander for Jin's tax revenue: the smuggling of a large number of Jihan goods is mainly done through Youzhou and Pingzhou.

This situation is caused by, on the one hand, it is absolutely impossible to ban: the border line is too long, and the Youzhou Army with limited troops cannot control it at all.In addition, the Xianbei in the north is indeed getting stronger and stronger, and it is not easy to be overly stimulating.

Faced with this unstoppable situation, Meng Guan wisely chose to join.

The army directly participates in smuggling, and in the smuggling process, it pays special attention to allowing the common people on the smuggling channel to participate and benefit.Three years later, Uncle Meng was actually very popular in Youzhou and Pingzhou.

The Luoyang court knew about this kind of thing, but both Pei Xiu and Jia Chong advised Sima Yan to turn a blind eye and close one eye: If you really want to forcibly ban it, you can't stop it. The current method is to be gentle.Anyway, after the army participates in smuggling, the whole smuggling will become more controllable.Moreover, after the smuggling channel is changed to Sizhou and Bingzhou as Youzhou and Pingzhou, the commercial routes will be infinitely lengthened, which instead promotes another kind of prosperity in domestic commerce.As for the lengthening of trade routes and the increase in commodity value?Hey, the big family that buys these things cares?

There is no way around this.But because of this, Meng Guan was able to effectively control this army at this time.Moreover, in the case of an excellent source of troops, this army has begun to grow rapidly after experiencing real battles.
