Zhang Yue quickly obtained the battle of the Han army's damage report in the Battle of the Zheze.

Two thousand Han cavalry rushed to the storm.

More than 200 war horses were lost.

More than 40 people, including two people, fought against the epidemic.

In addition, there were more than 300 minor and serious wounded soldiers.

This data looks exaggerated.

But it is a true reflection of the contemporary Han army, under normal circumstances, fighting with the Hun cavalry.

Thirty-five years ago, Wei Qing's battle in Henan was much more exaggerated than this.

In the second year of Yuanshuo, Wei Qing and General Li Xi launched an attack on Hetao from both left and right directions.

Wei Qing led his troops to attack Ziling and Liangbeihe, and seized Gaoque Fortress with lightning speed, blocked the main forces of the Aries tribe and Loufan tribe of the Huns in the Hetao area, and wiped out them all.

In this battle, Wei Qing beheaded more than 2,300 cattle, sheep, horses, and millions of cattle, sheep, and horses to capture him, and thousands of prisoners.

Guess how much has Wei Qing lost?

According to historical records, it is said that it was "returned with all armored soldiers."

It means how many people go out and how many people come back.

Even the armor was completely brought back to Chang'an!

Of course, that's an exaggeration.

In fact, according to the situation Zhang Yue has mastered, Wei Qing still lost some troops.

There is a military newspaper from Wei Qing in Shiqu Pavilion and a report from the Junzheng (Judge) who followed the army.

Combining the explanation of the two, the direct war damage of the Wei Qing army in the Henan Battle was about 400 casualties.

Among them, less than a hundred people died in the battle.

This is the inevitable result when you have a crushing advantage.

In the Battle of Baliqiao in later generations, the British and French forces fought fiercely with tens of thousands of Qing troops for several hours.

After the battle, three British troops died in battle and two French troops.

Even the Qing army lost about one thousand (the Qing court itself counted three thousand).

You know, the Battle of Baliqiao was not the present.

At that time, both sides of the war used a large number of muskets and cannons.

There were even fierce hand-to-hand combat and battles.

In the Battle of Zhe, the Han cavalry crushed their enemies from the beginning.

Both equipment and skills are far superior to Hujiren.

The difference between the two is not just generation difference.

There is not just a gap in equipment between the two sides.

There are also gaps in training, tactics and physical fitness.

Think about it, what do the soldiers of Changshui Captain eat usually?

What is Hujiren’s usual food?

This exaggerated battle loss ratio can be fully understood.

To be honest, in this era when the Han Dynasty was the Five Barbarians, even if it was an ordinary Han army, as long as the tactics were appropriate and the command was correct, it could be defeated or eliminated Huji's cavalry at a very small price.

The Huns do not have more than three times the advantage of military strength, so don’t think about defeating or surrounding a Han army with sufficient supplies and high morale on the front battlefield.

On the other hand, Hu Jie and beheaded directly, more than 1,400.

In the subsequent battles, more than a thousand stubborn enemies were successively eliminated.

The remaining hundreds of people were all captured.

Of course there are hundreds of people fleeing north.

It was the squad that Zhang Yue attacked and eliminated last night.

The main force of the Hujie cavalry that invaded was no longer there.

There may be about two thousand remaining parts at most, staying outside.

And these people will be blocked directly by Sima Xuan's tribe in Yanze.

In the end, there may be only a few hundred people who escape back to Gonglushui.

After reading the report, Zhang Yue immediately wrote a memorial to Chang'an on the spot under the gaze of Xu Xiangru and more than a dozen Changshui lieutenants.

It took almost half an hour to write this memorial.

Then, he handed it over to Xu Xiangru, and asked the latter to send Chang'an a quick victory immediately.

actually……

Zhang Yue could have waited for a longer time, and then the report was made uniformly after Sima Xuan's troops contacted him.

but……

I might soon go to the Weilu Department where I bowed and slaughtered Lushui.

It may even take thousands of miles to go to Mubei to do something.

This memorial must be written, and it must be written immediately.

As early as hundreds of years ago, Sima Xiangqi said: The military rewards will not exceed a month, and the people will quickly gain the benefits of doing good.

The contemporary Han army joined the army thousands of miles away and followed the generals to fight south and north, but few people were doing such illusory things as national justice and the rise and fall of the country.

Joining the army was just to accumulate merits and become rich, and to be granted official positions and titles.

Very realistic and simple.

Not to mention the soldiers, the officers are the same.

I worked hard to fight and tied my head to my belt for these things.

How did the Battle of Glut River in the Northern Song Dynasty be defeated in later generations?

It was just Zhao Guangyi who was stingy and refused to cash in on the reward immediately, which made the soldiers complain. The original good situation was ruined by him alone.

Zhang Yue would not do such stupid things.

When the envoy who sent the memorial was sent away, Zhang Yue patted his chest at the Changshui Chief Generals and assured: "You have made great contributions in this battle. I would like to ask Your Majesty for merit. Anyone who has made great contributions will receive a great reward!"

When the generals heard this, they all smiled happily and said, "I wish to die for Your Majesty, Shizhong Gong!"

"Good!" Zhang Yue helped everyone up and said, "In addition to the official titles and rewards in the court, the envoy will also reward the entire army on the spot in the name of the envoy who holds the ritual!"

"This envoy guarantees that after seizing half of the baggage, prisoners, and livestock in this battle, they will be divided into all the soldiers of the army according to the size of the merits!"

Everyone listened and became even more happy.

After defeating Hujie, tens of thousands of horses, more than 100,000 cattle and sheep were seized from their camp, and thousands of Hushe women and children were captured by them.

These are all trophys.

The total value is at least tens of millions!

What is the half of tens of millions?

In other words, after this battle, everyone in the Changshui Captain became a millionaire!

When the news spread, the whole army immediately cheered and morale was rising.

Even the wounded were very happy.

Isn’t it just for this when you join the army to fight?

Zhang Yue immediately received unanimous support and love from all the soldiers and officers.

At the same time, the restlessness and wild thoughts in the soldiers became even more uncontrollable.

Just hitting the Huji Department will get so many rewards.

What if the credit is greater?

Countless people immediately remembered many legends circulating in the Han army.

After the end of the Dayuan War, overnight, the Han army wholesale more than 1,000 thousand stones or monarchs, more than 200 marquis, Guannei marquis, two thousand stones, three nine ministers and a general of Haixi Hou Ershi, equivalent to a general!

But this is just a pediatric department.

For the Han army, the real legend is the scale of reward after the end of the Decisive Battle of Mobei twenty-seven years ago.

The imperial court rewarded more than 100,000 gold in just gold.

It is said that at that time, even a groom who was accompanying the army received several gold cakes.

And the soldiers and officers who have made contributions have made a fortune.

Even if he is just a pawn, after retiring and returning home, he can immediately take out a lot of money, buy land and buy property, marry the most beautiful little girl in the local area, and live a leisurely and peaceful life as a landlord!

The middle and upper-level generals transformed from poor families to wealthy families!

The legend of that year was dazzling enough.

Therefore, it has been passed down to this day and has become the dream of a great Han Dynasty for countless people.

Now, under the dual stimulation of getting rich and getting promoted.

The captain of Changshui was inevitably furious.

Even the herdsmen of Zhushui who raised horses for them, served wounded soldiers, and did odd jobs became excited.

Because, according to the customs of the Han army, they went to war with the army, although they were just fighting soybeans and did not actually participate in the battle.

But we can still share some of the rewards and military merits.

Although not much, it may be about 10% of the first-level sharing and less than half a share of rewards.

but……

For these herdsmen who are suffering on weekdays, this is like a pie falling from the sky.

Of course, they all became fanatical too.

Wealth is moving, and profit is the best stimulant.

So, when Zhang Yue revealed that he was interested in expeditioning the north, looking for an opportunity to destroy the Wei Lu Legion in Gonglushui, arrest or capture or kill this great traitor alive, and even took everyone to Mubei for fun.

Xu Xiangru was immediately excited and immediately asked Zhang Yue for a fight: "Shizhong Duke, the last general and the Changshui soldiers are willing to be the pioneer, flatten the bow and Lu Shui for the Shizhong, capture Wei Lu alive, and climb to the vast sea!"

Zhang Yue looked at it, smiled, and said, "General, don't be excited..."

"This matter is just an idea for the time being. When I contact General Sima, it will be not too late to investigate Wei Lu's trends before making a decision!"

"Anyway, Wei Lu can't escape for the time being!"

Even if the Wei Lu Corps gets news now and retreats from Gonglushui immediately, it is not something that can be done in one or two days.

Retreat is much more difficult than attacking.

In particular, if Wei Lu wants to retreat, the first thing he has to face is the vast sea.

It is a desert area composed of the desert and Gobi of the Mongolian Plateau, which was famous in later generations.

Just like the big curtain, it crossed the Mongolian Plateau and Munan region.

Therefore, it is also called the "Gu".

This curtain is very vast.

The front length is more than one thousand miles, and the depth is wide, and it is almost seven or eight hundred miles.

To cross this vast ocean, you need not only be familiar with geography and know the reality of this place.

It takes even more time.

If you break in rashly, nature will not care about your status, but will treat everyone equally.

Not to mention the other side, once a fierce sandstorm occurs in spring and summer, it will be enough to ruin hundreds or thousands of people.

What's more, how dare Wei Lu withdraw at will?

As long as he dares to retreat casually and the Han army will send a cavalry to chase him with his head, he will at least lose 30% of his troops.

Maybe even the whole army will be wiped out!

Therefore, even if Wei Lu wants to withdraw, he must retreat in an orderly manner and choose a good opportunity.

After hearing this, Xu Xiangru jumped up immediately and said to Zhang Yue: "I will take people here to Yanze and contact General Sima!"

After saying that, he immediately went out in a hurry, took a cavalry and walked north.

At the same time, other generals and officials also came to Zhang Yue to ask for battle, requesting and allowing them to send scouts to the north to investigate and search for the situation of Gong Lushui.

However, he was rejected by Zhang Yue.

because……

Zhang Yue knew that once the Han army appeared near the Gonglu River, it would alert the snake.
