Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 632 Military News
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the cold moonlight is scattered over Yiyang City.

Liu Chan wore a robe and wandered around the top of the city to relax, but the weather at night became colder and colder, and the moisture from the mountains penetrated through the gaps in the robe, making his injured wound ache.

Liu Chan rubbed the knife wound on his right arm, and the pain eased a little.

After falling into battle, Liu Chan, who hadn't been on the battlefield for many years, was inevitably unfamiliar with his skills. He was accidentally slashed by a Wei soldier while killing an enemy. Fortunately, the armor was strong and did not hurt the root.

After experiencing this injury, Liu Chan also made it clearer that he should not go to the battlefield in the future, because after all, swords and guns have no eyes.He is not hoping that he will not live long in history.

After all, those who have been wearing strong and persistent all the year round, charged into battle, and were as strong as Li Shimin, also suffered from rheumatism early and died in their early fifties.

The same is true of Liu Bang. He was in good health, and when he was fighting against the Yingbo rebellion, he was caught by a stray arrow, so he was seriously ill and could not stay in the hotel.

Of course, there are also negative cases. Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and his son Zhu Di not only were able to fight, but also lived a long time.But Liu Chan didn't expect to be able to compare with Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. His energy was at least the top three among the ancient emperors.

"Your Majesty, the number of soldiers lost by this soldier has come out." Liao Li limped over with a cane.

Liao Li didn't kill anyone, but was accidentally stabbed in the leg by his own sword, making people dumbfounded.

"Huh?" Liao Li's words pulled Liu Chan back from his thoughts, and asked, "How about the casualties of the soldiers?"

Liu Chan pulled the cloak on his shoulders, he felt the coldness.

"promise!"

First of all, Cao Rui let these Cao family members with military background join the army, basically to grasp the issue of the ownership of the army.It is to prevent the power of the Cao family from falling after his death, so that the Shu Han can take advantage of it.

"promise!"

Chen Gui bowed slightly to Sima Yi, and said: "General, the casualties of the Shu army are roughly estimated to be more than 500 people, or as many as [-] people. It is difficult to count the wounded, but I use our army Looking at the wounded, there should be eight to nine thousand wounded in the Shu army."

After all, in the situation of Wei Shou Han attacking, who has the military power has an important right to speak.If it is taken by a person of the opposite sex, it is easy to recruit the move of 'Tian's replacing Qi'. Only in the hands of Cao's clan can Cao Wei's country be preserved.

The rest, Cao Shuang, Cao Zhao, and Qin Lang, were relatives of the Cao family and generals under the Southern Expedition Army, so it was probably for the purpose of asking them to go.

Sima Chen Gui opened the tent and said in a low voice: "The soldiers sent by our army to investigate the casualties of the Shu army have returned."

Liu Chan sighed quietly, and said: "Copy down the names of the soldiers who died in battle and send them to Chengdu. Be sure to let the local prefects and counties take care of the wives and daughters of the soldiers. As for the wounded soldiers, send them to Wuguan and Xixian County with all their strength. Stay in Yiyang for treatment."

"How dare you refuse."

The casualty rate of the two armies is as high as [-]% +, far exceeding the proportion that the general army can bear.The Han army's expedition to Luoyang was a large army of elite soldiers, and the Wei army was certainly not an elite army. Therefore, either army of the two armies was weaker, and they could not fight to such a degree. The state, in the end, is to fight for life and courage.

After Chen Gui retreated, another figure appeared in the tent, standing in the shadows and said: "Patriarch, according to the report from Nanyang, His Majesty is seriously ill and cannot stay here. He has already called Cao Fang, King of Qi, Cao Yu, King of Yan, and Xiahou, the leading general. Xian and Dongxiang Princess Cao Ling rushed from Luoyang to Nanyang Daying. At the same time, they also ordered Wuwei General Cao Shuang, Tunqi School Captain Cao Zhao, and Xiaoqi General Qin Lang to return to Daying from the front line."

Liao Li hesitated for a while and asked, "Your Majesty, how will our army be deployed in the future?"

Hearing this, Liu Chan couldn't help but frown. This battle loss ratio has exceeded his original guess. The casualty ratio is too high. One battle has caused the loss that 10 people should have suffered in a war.

"Sima Yi's troops suffered more casualties than our army. According to the cleaning of the battlefield, the Wei army killed at least [-] people, and the wounded are unknown." Liao Li estimated, "However, judging from the casualties of our army, Sima Yi's troops The number of injured people should be around ten thousand."

Therefore, we have to wait for the situation in Nanyang. If Nanyang cannot be defended, Zhuge Liang will lead an army into Yiyang, and fight a round of reinforcements in Yiyang and Hongnong to force Cao Rui to move the capital.If there is a lucky chance, the big man can capture Nanyang, and taking advantage of Cao Rui's move to Luoyang, it is also feasible to go north to conquer Tongguan.

Sima Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, stroked his beard and did not speak.

The battle in Luoshui Beiyuan was too tragic.Three generals Le Wei, Yin Shu, and Lu Jian died in battle, and ten lieutenants died in battle.540 soldiers were killed and missing, and more than [-] were injured.

Liao Li made a bitter face, shook his head, and said, "Your Majesty, 200 of our troops were killed in this battle, and 110 were injured. Zhou Hui and Fu Xun were seriously injured, and the rest killed eight generals. As for In the Nord camp set up by His Majesty, the five hundred warriors were either killed or injured, and only 120 survived."

Chen Gui smiled and said: "General, there were 500 dead in the Shu army, and there were many wounded. Among them, there must have been two to 3000 seriously injured. Now it is estimated that about 7000 people were beheaded by our army. .And our army killed only 500 people, this battle should be regarded as a disastrous victory for our army.”

Sima Yi laughed, helped Chen Gui up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Your words, would you like to hold the pen for Yi?"

……

Chen Gui's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly sighed at Sima Yi's cunning.He let himself serve as his enlistment, on the one hand promoting himself, on the other hand looking at himself.As for writing the battle report with a pen, it is not easy. I want to make myself and him a grasshopper on the same rope, and it will be easy to throw the blame and create treachery in the future.

On the south bank of Luoshui, Wei Junying.

"Now Liu Chan is blocked by our army in Luoshui, and it is difficult to enter Luoyang. This is the merit of the general. As for the gains and losses in Yiyang, we have forgotten that our army is short of food and grass, so we have to retreat. As long as your majesty repels the Shu army in Nanyang, raise your troops. Attack Yiyang in the west, and Yiyang must be conquered."

The big Han's victory in this battle was also a tragic victory. The big Han's own strength was only about [-] to [-], mainly based on the route of elite soldiers, and this battle defeated at least one-fifth of the elite of the big Han.If there is no two or three years, it is estimated that it will not be slowed down.

Now that Cao Rui is seriously ill, Cao Fang was asked to go to Nanyang, presumably to make him the Crown Prince.

In the Chinese army tent, under the orange lamp, Sima Yi stared at the number of casualties on the case, feeling very headache.

Secondly, it is very understandable to let Qi Wang Cao Fang go to Nanyang Daying. Cao Rui adopted Cao Xun and Cao Fang after the Battle of Guanzhong.In 235, Cao Xun was named King of Qin, and Cao Fang was named King of Qi.Among the two, Cao Xun was in poor health, and only Cao Fang was older and in good health.

As for Cao Yu, king of Yan, he was the son of Cao Cao, and he had been friends with Cao Rui since childhood.Let him go to Nanyang today, most likely because he wants to become a minister of Tuogu.Not to mention Xia Houxian, the son of Xia Houmao, has a good relationship with Yan Wang Cao Yu.

Liu Chan stroked the female wall, feeling the roughness of the city wall, and said: "Yiyang is very difficult to defend as it is close to Luoyang, and it cannot be defended without heavy soldiers or generals. Therefore, we will wait for the movement of the Prime Minister's army before we make arrangements. Now we need to Lead the army to garrison Yiyang to deal with Sima Yi!"

As for Princess Cao Ling of Dongxiang, Sima Yi is really unpredictable. Could it be that he is just reminiscing about the old days and trying to get along with his siblings?
After exhaling foul breath, Sima Yi felt fine.The few of them came to power, in order to appease the officials, they will definitely use their battle report to publicize this time, so as to stabilize their positions.And if you win over yourself, you will also be promoted and given a title.

Yiyang is far away from the country of Shuhan, and the supply of troops and materials is not convenient, unless Tongguan and Hongnong can be conquered northward, and the connection with Guanzhong can be opened.It is convenient for military supplies to enter the Luoshui River Basin through Taohuaju and Hongnong going south.

Sima Yi looked at Chen Gui with bloodshot eyes and asked, "How many people died in the Shu army?"

Sima Yi waved his hand, signaling this person to step back, and sat quietly on the couch alone, thinking about the meaning of Cao Rui's current arrangement.

Unless another wave of reinforcements can be dispatched, otherwise he will not have the strength to go east to Luoyang, and it will not be easy to hold Yiyang.

With such a terrifying casualty data, Sima Yi no longer knew how to explain it to Cao Rui.

"Where's Sima Yi's department?"

Sima Yi stroked his beard, pondered and said: "From the perspective of the battle report, it should be not bad. Gong Bing (Chen Guizi) has held the post of Sima for a long time, and now I have a post in the army in the general's mansion. There is no talented person to take the post. Do you want to be Yi's arm?"

For this battle loss ratio, Liu Chan has no doubts, only regrets the tragic war.Perhaps this battle of mine, although not comparable to the battle of Xiangji Temple in the Tang Dynasty, where the loss ratio was as high as [-]%, could still leave a strong mark in the history books.

Chen Gui was overjoyed when he heard the words, bowed his waist and cupped his hands, and said: "Chen Gui pays homage to the lord, thank you for your appreciation."

As he spoke, Chen Gui glanced at Sima Yi, cupped his hands and asked, "Dare to ask the general, but are you worried about the Luoshui Beiyuan battle report?"

It's just that Nanyang may be in trouble. His Majesty will basically withdraw his troops after his death.

Sima Yi pursed his lips, he still felt a little bit unjust.He served from the time of Cao Cao, and became the auxiliary minister during the time of Cao Pi.

But now...

Forget it~
