Yuan Baifu: "There are 75,000 soldiers who survived." He had the largest number of people among the four armies, a total of 90,000.
The four of them divided 260,000 people, and the Zhenbei Army came with a total of 36,000 people, and the remaining 100,000 were the central army. Qu Yunmie looked at Yu Shaocheng, who had not really listened to others, but as soon as Qu Yunmie looked over, he immediately replied with a hundred times more energy: "The remaining 92,300 people."
The central army had the largest number of troops and the least casualties. Although this was because most of the soldiers in the central army were elite, it must be said that it was also because the generals were more capable.
Qu Yunmie curled his lips in satisfaction at Yu Shaocheng, but when he turned around, his face was clouded again: "Why did your men suffer so many casualties?!"
Wang Xinyong: “…”
He remained silent, not knowing whether he dared to answer or was unwilling to answer. Xiao Rong looked at him and suddenly said, "General Wang went with General Yu to meet the king last night. The 14,000 soldiers who met the king were all from the central army. He was not the one leading the rear army."
Qu Yunmie also remembered this key point. When he recalled who led the rear army, Qu Yunmie's face became even darker.
Honestly, this was not a mistake. Life and death were decided on the battlefield. Sometimes a general was just unlucky and his soldiers ran into the enemy's main force, or there was no other reason. It was just that their army was unlucky, so a lot of people died. After all, they won the battle, and no one made mistakes that should not have been made. Even Qu Yunmie could not punish a general for this.
But Qu Yunmie still felt a little angry and a little ashamed, because it was his own people who brought shame to him.
Qu Jin was actually standing in this room, but Qu Yunmie never saw him. He probably felt ashamed, so he stood in an inconspicuous corner.
Qu Yunmie opened his mouth to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, he closed his mouth. When he opened his mouth again, what he said was not that sentence: "In this case, Yuan Baifu, you lead 40,000 people with Wang Xinyong, and the rest of the troops are handed over to Yu Shaocheng."
At this point, he called out again, "Yu Shaocheng."
Yu Shaocheng responded immediately and blinked at Qu Yunmie: “Here!”
Qu Yunmie: "... Three days later, you will take these soldiers and Gongsun Yuan to defeat the Khitan for me."
The Khitans fled last night. After hearing that the north gate had been breached, they did not even wait for the Zhenbei Army to show up and ran away so happily. The Khitan king might have thought that Qu Yunmie would let him go, but that was impossible. In the entire grassland, apart from the Xianbei, the Khitans were the only ones who had treasures and were famous for their generosity. Moreover, when Qu Yunmie was a child, he heard stories from the Buteu people. Khitan was the country closest to the Buxian Mountain. When the Khitan had not yet been established, their people even met with the Buteu people and robbed them of many herbs. Fortunately, Yannu Lake is a particularly difficult place to find. They came up once but could not come up a second time.
This story was just a story to Qu Yunmie when he was a child, but to Qu Yunmie now, it is a rare opportunity.
Not to mention that the Khitans had escaped, even if they had never joined the Xianbei alliance, Qu Yunmie would not have let them go. …
When Yu Shaocheng heard that he was going to Khitan, he was a little reluctant to go, as that would mean he would be too far away from his brother. But then he changed his mind and thought that if he could make meritorious service sooner and become a real army commander sooner, his brother could also live a good life with him sooner.
Yu Shaocheng didn't know what a truly good life was like, but he had a similar example in front of him, and he thought to himself that he must also want his brother to live a life like Xiao Rong, wearing gold and silver and having three meals a day. ...
Yu Shaocheng comforted himself quickly, but it was not so easy for Yuan Baifu.
Yu Shaoxie had said at the beginning that he would dismantle the Zuo Army, and now Qu Yunmie actually did it. He dismantled his Zuo Army, left half to him, and sent the other half to Yu Shaocheng.
Can these troops be taken back after they are in Yu Shaocheng's hands? Of course not. Yu Shaocheng's ability is quite amazing. In this army, except for the king, almost all the generals were forced back by his sharp edge. Yuan Baifu knew that with Yu Shaocheng's ability, he would soon be able to lead an army alone, but why did they take the troops away from him?
Yuan Baifu was not the only one who was surprised by this military order. Xiao Rong also felt strange. Why did they do this? Yuan Baifu would definitely feel dissatisfied.
But everyone knew what kind of style Qu Yunmie had. Once he gave the order, that was it. Everyone had to listen to him. Putting away the map, Qu Yunmie strode out. Xiao Rong looked back at the group of generals, big and small, and then quickly chased after him.
He thought Qu Yunmie was in a bad mood and would find a place to vent. However, halfway through the chase, he discovered that Qu Yunmie was not looking for a place to vent, but a place to sleep.
Xiao Rong: “…”
Qu Yunmie entered the room and was about to lie down. At this time, Xiao Rong took a few quick steps and quickly removed the pillow from the bed. Then, holding the pillow, he said to him respectfully, "Please solve my doubts, my king."
Qu Yunmie: “…………”
He didn't understand: "What puzzle do you want to solve?"
Xiao Rong: "General Wang, General Gongsun, General Yuan, you have sent them all out. Then, do you plan to fight Shuofang alone?"
Qu Yunmie: "Isn't there still Jian Qiao?"
Xiao Rong: “…”
I actually forgot about Jian Qiao.
He opened his eyes wide, and Qu Yunmie knew what he was thinking. He sat up speechlessly and said, "But you are right. I am enough to take Shuofang City. Jian Qiao will stay in Shengle to take care of the Xianbei people in the city and the 20,000 prisoners of war. When Shuofang City is taken, I will send the prisoners of war to Shengle and hand them over to Jian Qiao for management."
Xiao Rong frowned: "One hundred thousand people..."
Qu Yunmie: "That's enough."
These past few days, Xiao Rong has been refreshing his understanding of Qu Yunmie's ability to march and fight. If he had heard Qu Yunmie say this in the past, he would definitely have been worried. Although he is still a little worried now, he believes that Qu Yunmie is not bragging.
Xiao Rong shook his head and said, "Forget it. If the king insists, we can fight on two fronts. I will ask the Buddhist disciples if they can let the Kumo Xi people give us another chance. If we borrow the Kumo Xi's passage, we will have supplies during the march."
Qu Yunmie nodded. This was what he thought. If there had not been Kumo Xi's help this time, Qu Yunmie would not have sent people out so quickly. He would have waited until he had defeated the Xianbei before personally dealing with the Khitan. However, Kumo Xi suddenly surrendered, so of course he would take advantage of this opportunity.
Kumo Xi betrayed the Xianbei and all the ethnic groups of the Donghu. From the moment they made this decision, they had to rely on the Zhenbei Army. Even the Xianbei were unreliable, so they had nothing better to do than to be fence-sitters again - when the Zhenbei Army was still on the grassland, they ran to form an alliance with the Khitan. You have to know that the Khitan was not a little weaker than the Xianbei.
Xiao Rong looked at Qu Yunmie and found that Qu Yunmie really had great ambitions, but he was unwilling to explain them to others. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, he did not listen to advice and was a domineering and unreasonable general.
