Chapter 680 The Seventh Wolf Rider Who Entered the Pass

After three days of rain in Dongjun County, it finally stopped. Xia Jun, who had retreated fifty li in the rain, recuperated and took a rest. Bo, Wang Bo looked at Mo Chou, and Mo Chou looked at Li Gandang, and the four of them fell silent involuntarily.

I don't know how long it took, Wang Bo sighed and said: "The loss is indeed too great... Your Majesty just took medicine and lay down. I think it's better to suppress this matter before reporting it. If Your Majesty asks Just say, if His Majesty doesn't ask...just wait until His Majesty recovers from his injuries."

Li Gandang shook his head and said, "It's not like you don't know about His Majesty's temperament, how could you not ask?"

"I'm just worried..."

Wang Bo sighed: "Your Majesty was seriously injured this time. If you know the loss is so huge, if you get angry and touch the injury again..."

"Still report it truthfully."

Mo Chou thought for a while and said, "Actually, Your Majesty probably has an estimate in mind. If it weren't for General Wang and General Dugu to turn the tide this time, the loss would be even more terrifying than this figure."

"It's not that serious."

Dugu Shao thought for a while and said: "Although the loss of troops is huge, according to my estimation, not even half of the soldiers died in the battle. Most of the 10 people lost in panic and fled. If there are no accidents, a large number of people will come back in a few days. As long as the news that the deserters will not be prosecuted for their crimes is spread, the fleeing soldiers will return after all... They have no food, and Dongjun can't get food. "

"I still have to ask His Majesty for instructions on this matter."

Wang Bo hesitated for a moment and said, "It is a felony to run away from battle. According to the military law of Great Xia, no matter what the reason is, anyone who runs away from battle will not be pardoned."

"The morale of the army is so unstable now..."

Mo Chou shook her head and said, "There must always be a special case, otherwise the soldiers will be even more frightened. Now that the morale of the army is low, heavy punishments are not appropriate."

Just as he was talking, suddenly a soldier ran over to salute the four of them and said: "Your Majesty has woken up, and the four generals are said to come into the tent to speak."

The four looked at each other, and hurriedly walked towards the big tent without delay.After entering the door, under the dim light, Dou Jiande could be seen lying on the bed covered with a thick quilt, with his eyes closed, and he didn't know if he fell asleep again or was thinking about something.Just looking at his face, there was nothing wrong with it, and the tensed hearts of the four people relaxed a little.

"There are 10 people?"

Dou Jiande didn't open his eyes, and asked in a low voice.

"There shouldn't be so many... The battalions are gathering troops. The 10 people include the number of people killed in battle and the number of missing people. According to my opinion, the number of missing people is far more than the number of people killed in battle. Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty to issue a decree." , pardoned the crimes of fleeing in battle..."

Wang Bo bowed his head and said.

"I will not hold them accountable. In this case, you will send people to the generals below. The captain will pass on the news and say that I have agreed. Anyone who rushes back to the camp to report, no matter if they run away or pretend to be dead. Yes, I will not blame the past."

"Wang Bo"

"I am here"

Dou Jiande coughed twice, and he couldn't help frowning because of the pain in the wound: "I leave this matter to you. You are cautious and serious in doing things, and you are mature and prudent. You are the most suitable thing to appease the soldiers. In addition... ... After a big defeat, the morale of the army fluctuates, and comfort alone is not enough. Dugu Shao, you arrange a law enforcement team to patrol the camp. If someone instigates defection and finds out that one is executed, one must not be lenient.

"I understand!"

Dugu Shao bowed his head and answered.

"This big defeat is also a lesson for each of us..."

Dou Jiande laughed at himself and said: "Speaking of which, I was the key to the defeat. If I hadn't sent people out of the camp to meet the enemy, as long as they didn't hold out, Yan Yun's army would not find a chance even if they wanted to make a surprise attack. Li Daozong and Yuwen Shiji obviously discussed it, these two people are cunning, and they have been planning for a long time."

"Have you checked the losses at the baggage camp?"

Dou Jiande asked.

Wang Bo nodded and said, "Thirty percent of the food and grass has been lost, but it is still enough for the army for a month. As long as we get to the east capital as soon as possible, and with Wang Shichong's support, the food and grass will not be a problem. General Cao Dan led the army to raid Xingluo As long as the Xingluo warehouse is taken down, there is no need to worry about the grain and grass."

He underreported the lost grain and grass by [-]%, and Xue Wanche's random fire was too hot. If it wasn't because it was still raining, the loss would have been even greater.

"What I am most grateful for right now is that I sent troops to raid Xingluo Cang.

Dou Jiande sighed, was silent for a while and said: "I plan to transfer Wang Fubao back to the army to obey orders, do you guys have any opinions?"

"Your servants are honored to obey the holy orders."

Wang Bo and others bowed their heads.

Dou Jiande nodded and said: "When it comes to leading troops to fight, you are all outstanding talents. But carefully, except for Wang Bo, the three of you are not as experienced as Wang Fubao. He has fought hundreds of battles, big and small. He has followed me since the beginning of my army, and he has rarely failed."

"only……"

Dou Jiande hesitated for a moment and asked: "Wang Fubao led the army to block Daxi Changru. This is also a very important matter. It is related to the retreat of the army, so we have to be careful... you four, who is willing to replace him?"

The four of them were startled, they looked at each other and no one wanted to respond.You must know that Daxi Changru's reputation is really too great. At the beginning, he dared to confront the Turkic Khan's 40 wolf cavalry with [-] elite cavalry. After three days of bloody battle, he killed more than [-] enemies.With this battle alone, almost no one in the world can surpass it.

"I would like to go to..."

After being silent for a while, Wang Bo raised his head and said, "As long as His Majesty can be trusted, I am willing to succeed General Wang."

"Ok, deal"

Dou Jiande waved his hands weakly and said, "You all step back, I want to rest."

Thunder City

The county government lobby has now been changed to Daxi Changru's Marching Marshal's Mansion, and there is a huge sand table in the middle of the lobby.Small flags of various colors are used to mark the current locations of the various armies, and the most eye-catching one is the Xia army near the Dahai Temple.And Daxi Changru's gaze was fixed on the Xia Army's garrison outside Lei Ze City.

"Wang Fubao is a general."

Daxi Changru looked at the sand table and shook his head and said: "At least he knows what he should do. To lure the enemy to attack the city, he didn't take the bait, but blocked Lei Ze's road to the west and stood still. Just stay with us, speaking of it, maybe he didn't intend to attack Lei Ze City at all."

"Why don't your subordinates lead someone to charge?"

Iron Wolf looked at Daxi Changru and asked.

"There's no need to work hard."

Daxi Changru smiled and said: "It is not a bad thing for us to see Wang Fubao standing still. It is also a good thing for Yuwen Shiji to hold back his troops. Now the lake is almost empty. The main task of our team is to stick to Dongping County, Wang Fubao doesn't want to fight, and I happen to be in no hurry to fight."

"The lord should not be able to tell who he is in Chang'an at the moment, but the lord must send troops to rush back."

Luo Fu said in a flat tone.

Daxi Changru looked at the sand table, pointed to the ground in Hebei, and said: "If Anzhi can send a surprise army to the ground in Hebei, it will be more effective than sending an army of 2! As long as there is chaos on the ground in Hebei, how can Dou Jiande have any thoughts?" Keep fighting! Dongdu is just an isolated city, and Wang Shichong doesn’t even have [-] people under his command. Dou Jiande’s ally is nothing to him now!”

"However, you can't just be blocked by Wang Fubao. The battle that should be fought is still to be fought."

"Iron Wolf, Dongfang Raging Fire, Chaoqiu Song, Luo Fu..."

Daxi Changru paused for a moment and asked: "Now there are only a few of you left as the old man of Tiefutu and Xueqi. According to Anzhi, he doesn't want you to take any more risks, and you should be safe and secure. Live, enjoy more, be more happy, but now that Dongping is empty, we can't help being lazy and slack. Speaking of which, the four of you are all instructors at the Academy of Martial Arts, and this time you will also take this opportunity to train those students."

"What does the general mean, go out of the city to make a surprise attack?"

Iron Wolf asked tentatively.

"There's no need for that. Didn't I just say that Wang Fubao is not in a hurry, and I'm not in a hurry... I can't get in the way of Yuwenshi and there. I just need to guard Dongping and he won't be dragged down. Anzhi has stabilized the situation in Chang'an." The situation will not take long for the reinforcements to come back."

"Wang Fubao's troops are Dou Jiande's rear barrier. When the time comes, the troops sent by Anzhi will join Yuwen Shihe. If there is a decisive battle against Dou Jiande, Wang Fubao will be Dou Jiande's life-saving straw. Therefore, he cannot be allowed to recharge his batteries here... ..."

"I understand!"

Luo Fu smiled and said, "It's just that he can't eat well and sleep well!"

"Starting tomorrow night, the four of you will take turns going out of the city to harass Xia Jun's camp. Don't follow any rules. You can go whenever you want. Xia Jun will go when he eats and sleeps. Just procrastinate like this." In the first half of the month, these tens of thousands of Xia troops might have been exhausted, how can Dou Jiande count on them?"

"Subordinates obey!"

Tie Liaolang and the others accepted the order with folded fists, everyone's eyes were extraordinarily bright.Speaking of which, these few people still can't live at leisure after all.Although the job of teaching in the Yanwu Academy is comfortable and has a high status, for them, fighting on the battlefield is refreshing and smooth.
