"Okay, Mingzhi, if you hadn't led your army to cross mountains and ridges to give Zhang He a fatal blow, the war would probably not have ended so easily and the results would have been so great." After cheering and cheering with the troops, Zhuge Liang led everyone to the public room to talk.

Yang Qingqian said: "This is all the credit of the soldiers. If they hadn't been afraid of hard work, Qing would not have been able to go around Zhang He's front as planned."

"Since the beginning of the Northern Expedition, your army has made great contributions. If it weren't for your first initiative to establish the Wudang Flying Army, how could our great Han Dynasty have such a strong army? Your contributions are indispensable." Zhuge Liang said.

Seeing that he said this, Yang Qing no longer said humbly and thanked him repeatedly. Zhuge Liang said to Guan Xing and others: "Of course, your achievements are not small. My great man and I have such loyal ministers and generals as you, why worry about not being able to recover? I am the emperor and ask for me for you."

"Thank you Prime Minister." Everyone responded in unison.

The war was not completely over, so Zhuge Liang encouraged him a few more words and asked everyone to go back to rest. After all, after a big battle, Yang Qing and others were either exhausted or injured, and it was time to go back and take some rest and heal the wound.

In the afternoon, Wang Ping and Badi also led the pursuers back to Jieting. They were ordered to chase Zhang He, Pan Yu and other remnants of defeated soldiers. Although they brought back some heads of Wei soldiers, there was no head of Wei general, especially Zhang He.

It turned out that Buddy led the Qian Wudang Flying Army to chase after him, and finally caught up with Zhang He and others in a river valley. However, there were hundreds of Wei soldiers following Zhang He. A Wei army captain desperately broke the back. Finally, Zhang He and others successfully crossed the river and ran into the depths of Longshan Mountain to the east.

After killing the captain and more than a hundred Wei soldiers under his command, Buddy crossed the river and chased after several miles and could no longer find any trace of Zhang He and others. Seeing that it was getting late, he had to sigh and stop the troops and return.

As for Wang Ping, he didn't even see Pan Yu's figure. He ran too early and disappeared. Wang Ping chased him along the way and only encountered dozens of defeated soldiers. After killing and capturing them all, he also brought the soldiers back.

After hearing the report, Zhuge Liang felt a little regretful, but he was satisfied with this victory. He praised Wang Ping and Budi and asked them to go back and rest quickly.

Zhuge Liang recruited Yang Yi and Hu Ji again, and ordered them to arrange a team of troops to kill pigs and sheep, prepare a celebration banquet, and reward the three armies tonight.

At night, Wei Yan sent another envoy to report that the Wei army He Yu's troops were defeated by him and Liao Hua. More than 1,300 people from He Yu were killed. The remaining Wei soldiers were either captured or surrendered, and only hundreds of people escaped by chance.

At this point, the last Wei army under Zhang He's command was also defeated by the Han army. In addition to sporadic searches for the remaining Wei army soldiers, the war could basically be declared over. The news spread across the battalions, and the soldiers cheered continuously, and everyone was even happier at the celebration banquet.

On the afternoon of the next day, Wei Yan led the Wuqi and the Sanqi returned to Jieting first. As for Liao Hua, he still led his troops to guard Fanxukou, waiting for Zhuge Liang's next arrangement.

That night, Zhuge Liang was promoted to the tent and gathered at the generals, announcing the results of the war and discussing the next actions.

"Prime Minister, after a day of counting, the results of the battle have basically been calculated." Yang Yi first reported.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Then let me announce it and let all the generals listen."

"No." Yang Yi stood up and spread his hand to open the script, and said loudly: "Since Zhang He led more than half a month ago to Long, General An Han, Yang Qing, the rear supervisor, and Guan Xing, the central governor, led 10,000 troops to defend Jieting to defeat his spirit. Later, the prime minister personally led the troops here to fight with him for several days, and finally defeated Zhang He's army in one fell swoop.

In this battle, our Han army killed Wei general Deng Qi, and more than 25,000 soldiers from He Yu, captured more than 18,000 generals from Wei general Qiu Yan, and almost wiped out 50,000 infantry and cavalry of the Wei army, only the Wei army commander Zhang He, the guard Dai Ling and other thousands of people escaped by luck, and they were not sure where they went. As for equipment, bows, crossbows, horses, armor and other military supplies, countless others were seized. In the battle of Jieting, our army was a complete victory."

"OK."

"What a rare victory."

"This battle is really satisfying."

......

After listening to the report on the results of the battle, everyone was very excited and applauded. They started to talk about each other, and laughter kept coming from the hall, attracting the guards on duty outside to look at each other frequently.

Zhuge Liang did not stop everyone from being lively. He gently shook the feather fan and looked at everyone with a smile. After a while, he coughed and signaled everyone to calm down.

"Mr. Wei, let's talk about the casualties of our army."

When everyone heard this, they quickly curled their smiles and listened to Yang Yi's announcement with a serious expression.

Yang Yi said: "In the battle of Jieting, our army suffered more than 12,000 deaths and injured more than 3,000 people. The damage was very large, and Mingzhi's rear army was the most important." After that, he looked at Yang Qing deeply.

Everyone also knew that Yang Qing's rear army was only more than 3,000 people left, and nearly 70% of them were lost in several battles, which was the biggest loss among the armies.

After the Jieting War, the army fought bloody battles and persisted for more than ten days, not only consumed tens of thousands of Zhang and He, but also greatly damaged the Wei army's spirit and also won a good opportunity for Liao Hua to seize the Fanxukou.

If it weren't for this, the main force of the Han army would not have won easily in the battle in the past few days, so everyone looked at Yang Qing with admiration and gratitude.

"I will also inform you of how many troops there are in each army so that the generals can know what they have in their hearts." Zhuge Liang said again.

Yang Yi bowed and said yes, and then reported: "After the troops went to Qishan, our army had been fighting fiercely for more than a month. Now, the front army has 14,000 people in addition to the two thousand guarding Tianshui, including 6,000 Hanzhong soldiers, and suddenly there are no two soldiers and horses in front of them.

There are still 14,000 people in the central army, including 4,000 martial cavalry, 3,000 crossbow soldiers, and 3,000 people in the middle camp of the tiger. Of course, there are still 4,000 people under the command of Liao Yuanjian in Fanxukou. However, there are only more than 3,000 people left in Mingzhi's rear army.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! As for the left army now scattered in Qishan Fort, Liucheng and Nan'an County, there are a total of eight or nine thousand people. However, the Right Army of Old General Zhao's right army has not yet been reported, so the strength of the troops is unknown.

Therefore, the four armies in front, back, left and middle still have more than 40,000 troops. Of course, if we add more than 1,000 troops from the General Office in Lucheng, the four or five thousand county soldiers surrendered by the counties and the three thousand Gao Gang's troops who are about to surrender to the Han Dynasty, our army's troops in Longyou will have no less than 50,000 troops."

After Yang Yi reported the news, everyone's excitement gradually calmed down. Although the Han army has won many victories in recent years, the losses of its own army are also quite large.

The four left middle army had more than 60,000 people before going to the expedition, but now there are only more than 40,000 left, which has lost nearly 20,000 troops. Everyone present was heartbroken.

Fortunately, these soldiers did not die in vain. In the past two months, Ji Han captured a large area of ​​land and recovered seven or eight counties one after another. The territory was finally no longer a state.

Moreover, the Han army fought against more than 100,000 Wei troops with 70,000 troops. Not only did they first repel Sima Yi's 30,000 troops on Shangyong, but later they used 10,000 troops to restrain Cao Zhen's 30,000 troops in Meicheng, and recently defeated Zhang He's 50,000 central army at Jieting. The Han army won with fewer and had a brilliant record.

After everyone had digested these situations, Zhuge Liang spoke, "Everyone, although our army has suffered a lot of losses, it has finally successfully wiped out Zhang He's 50,000 infantry and cavalry. It can be said that we have only truly recovered Longyou now.
