I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 119 Liu Che: What about the promise of just shocking others?!

If Liu Ju had to use one word to summarize this battle, he felt that there was only one word: fast!

The Qiang people came quickly and left quickly as well.

Just one hour later, Liu Ju, who was standing on the flag tower, could no longer see the Qiang army. All that was left was a large pile of Qiang corpses lying in front of the camp.

In order to support the 800 heavily armored cavalry, the Han army in the military camp took advantage of the chaos of the Qiang people to rush out of the camp and kill them.

However, following Li Xi's orders, these infantrymen did not chase too far. They only harvested and captured the Qiang people who were scattered by the black-armored heavy cavalry within a few miles of the camp... Anyway, the Qiang people's escape route to the west had been quietly cut off, they could not run away, and it was getting late, so there was no need to take risks at this time.

About two hours later.

It was already completely dark.

The heavy cavalry in black armor also withdrew to the camp along with the infantry. This completely one-sided battle in which the outnumbered side was defeated was officially declared over.

Now there is only one last step left, counting the damage and results of the battle.

In this regard, Li Xi's decision also won Liu Ju's heart.

He only ordered the soldiers to count the casualties in the camp, and then go out of the camp at dawn the next day to clean up the battlefield and count the results of the battle, to prevent the Qiang enemy from taking advantage of the darkness to launch a surprise attack, which would be very bad.

That night.

Liu Ju slept very soundly. After all, standing on the flag tower for several hours in a row was quite tiring.

Guo Zhen was also so short-sighted that he didn't even bother to find him a small wooden stake to sit on.

And after this battle.

Liu Ju also had a new understanding of himself.

Originally, he thought that as a time traveler who had almost never faced bloody fighting, he would feel uncomfortable when seeing the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere.

But it turned out that he did not feel any discomfort.

Of course, I don't feel excited about it like a pervert.

Apart from the excitement he felt when he witnessed the Han Dynasty's powerful crossbows firing thousands of arrows and saw the heavy cavalry in black armor charging, he didn't even feel much of a stir at other times.

Perhaps this is because I am just a bystander in this battle and have not really participated in it?

The next morning.

When Liu Ju opened his eyes, the battle report had already been delivered to the tent.

After this battle, the Han army suffered less than 200 casualties, more than 4,000 people were killed in battle, more than 6,000 people were captured, and nearly 100 horses were seized. Other military supplies were negligible.

Adding all these together, we can annihilate 10,000 enemies!
Li Xi and his generals were all grinning from ear to ear, because yesterday's battle alone had already confirmed Li Xi's merit for being titled a marquis. It all depended on how many more titles Liu Che would add to his 300 households after he returned.

And the generals under his command will definitely be promoted and given titles after they return.

Even the soldiers below were equally happy. Many of them had been in the army for many years, but had never fought such an exciting battle as yesterday. Moreover, when these generals were awarded, they would definitely reward them.

"Happy" Jun, I am really happy today.

Other.

Gongsun Jingsheng was neither dead nor injured.

……

a few days later.

Along with several fast horses entering Chang'an, express feathered dispatches with chicken feathers stuck on the envelopes were delivered to the Weiyang Palace.

Upon learning that it was a battle report from Western Qiang, the gatekeepers along the way immediately gave the green light, and in less than half an hour, the feathered letter was delivered to Liu Che.

"The Qiang people escaped so quickly?"

"Okay, stop jumping and step back."

"Su Wen, reward." Liu Che stopped laughing and waved to the dancers who were singing and dancing in the hall.

If Gongsun Jingsheng, Guo Zhen or Li Guangli and others were present, they would recognize at a glance that the singer who was singing and dancing in front of Liu Che was the dancer who was instructed by Liu Ju after he drank that day.

The dance she just performed was exactly the "spinning jump" that Liu Ju demonstrated inappropriately that day.

She had never dreamed that there would be a day in her life when she would be summoned by the emperor.

She never expected that the emperor had the same hobbies as the prince. She knew many beautiful dances, but the emperor only wanted her to perform the wonderful dance the prince taught her that day, and ordered her to dance it in a loop for an hour.

What made her feel most embarrassed, but she didn't dare to show it was.

She is obviously a serious dancer, but Tianzi's laughter always makes her feel like a funny actor. Who can she complain to?

But when she obeyed the order and left the greenhouse hall.

After receiving the heavy reward of ten gold coins sent by Su Wen, she immediately made a decision in secret:
This time when I go back, I must compose a song based on the melody that the prince sang that day, and then ask someone to add some lyrics and dance moves, so as to expand the prince's song and promote it!

Also, if I have the chance, I must thank the prince for being my guide!
at the same time.

Liu Che finally opened the express letter.

At this moment, his heart was also very calm.

Because he knew that the Han army's 100,000 elite troops rushing to Western Qiang would be a war without any suspense.

Therefore, he also had no expectations for the outcome of this battle.

He knew better than anyone that the Qiang people had neither the strength nor the courage to engage in a head-on battle with the 100,000 elite Han army. As soon as the Han army arrived, the Qiang people would immediately choose to temporarily avoid the attack.

Moreover, the Han army this time was mainly composed of infantry, and it was impossible for them to achieve much success facing the Qiang people who did not dare to fight.

No matter what Liu Che thought in history.

This time he had to admit that he was indeed inspired by Liu Ju's previous efforts to pacify Nanyue.

Therefore, he deliberately used this "killing a nut with a sledgehammer" method to intimidate the Western Qiang, and then sent envoys to negotiate, in order to promote Liu Ju's brilliant idea of ​​"one country, two policies".

In this way, the Han army will not suffer many losses or casualties.

Once Western Qiang becomes a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, the Qiang people can also enjoy the emperor's grace and make a fortune to offset the military expenditure.

Also.

Those who are not in charge of the household would never know that post-war rewards are also a huge expense.

Otherwise, how did his "Military Merit Noble" system come about? Apart from filling the gaps in military supplies, wasn't it just to raise funds to reward those generals who followed Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in the northern expedition against the Huns and made military achievements?
As for the fields and fiefs obtained by those marquises and generals, they were also the property of the Han Dynasty, their property, and the flesh cut from him, the Son of Heaven!
So it is.

For this expedition against the Western Qiang, he specially appointed Li Xi and Xu Ziwei, who were extremely conservative in strategic thinking and would not easily take risks even if they saw others making achievements in the Battle of Mobei, to lead the army. He was also willing to order Liu Ju to serve as the central military supervisor.

The purpose is to achieve stability, to give enough deterrence to Western Qiang, and then implement the wonderful "one country, two policies".

This was all in his plan...

Thinking of this in his mind, Liu Che finally opened the imperial edict and read its contents.

next moment.

"???"

Liu Che's eyes widened instantly, and a look of deep surprise and doubt appeared on his face.

What's the situation?
Why is it so different from what I expected?
What exactly did the Qiang people think?

How dare the Qiang people do that?

Our great Han army of 100,000 elite soldiers is here to attack us, yet the Qiang people still dare to fight back?
In just the first battle, Li Xi's army alone killed more than 4,000 people and captured more than 6,000 people? !
A few days ago, I was still thinking about finding a reason to strip some marquises and take back some land and privileges...

I haven't found the right opportunity yet, and now I'm going to get another reward for being a marquis? !
My money!!!
My land!!!
Who can explain to me what is going on?!
