Chapter 625 Zhenbeiguan


    Chapter 623: Zhenbei Pass


    This war was a blessing for the Jin army, but it was a disaster for the entire Hetao alien race.


    The Hetao area is thousands of miles of fertile land, with dozens of tribes of all sizes, and of course it is impossible to have only a population of 150,000.


    The Hetao area originally had about 300,000 foreign races.


    In the frontal battle, the Bingzhou coalition forces killed as many as 40,000 enemy troops and captured 20,000 prisoners.


    During the subsequent purge, nearly 30,000 stubborn resisters from the Huns and foreign races were killed and 50,000 were captured.


    Literally, the Bingzhou coalition killed 80,000 alien races and captured 80,000 prisoners.


    As for the actual total number of deaths, it must be more than this. It is roughly estimated that there are at least nearly 100,000.


    The 70,000 prisoners of war captured are important laborers in the development of Hetao. They all need to contribute their efforts to build cities, build roads, and farmland, so it is naturally impossible to be released.


    In other words, after the war, the overall population of Hetao was directly reduced by more than half, and the casualties were really heavy, which shows the tragic extent of this battle.


    In order to ensure its absolute dominance in Hetao, the Jin army used the most iron-blooded method to kill dozens of tribes that remained scared. In the next ten years, the Hetao aliens would never dare to rebel easily.


    As for the large amount of materials and money seized, it is naturally irrelevant in the eyes of the Jin army. After all, as long as the treasure land of Hetao is in hand, it is only a matter of time before it can be created thousands of times more wealth.


    The Jin army did not care about this part of money, food and materials, but the four princes who followed the army had to care. They suffered a lot of losses in this battle and needed to recover the losses.


    Although Zhang Yang, Zhang Chao, Wang Kuang and Wang Shichong were "forced" to send troops to assist in the war, they did play an important role in this battle, so they naturally have the right to divide the spoils.


    The prisoners of war certainly would not give any of them, so Qin Wen could only make up for it in terms of money and food, and finally took out 60% of all the seizures, which made the four princes return satisfied.


    "Brother, why do you have to agree to Wang Shichong and the others? Only sending 20,000 troops, but 60% of them were seized. This appetite is too big, right?" Qin Jian said with dissatisfaction.


    Qin Wen, who was sitting in the main seat, smiled indifferently after hearing this and said softly: "Those captures are just small profits. The biggest benefit has been occupied by my family. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?"


    Small profit?


    Not only Qin Jian, most of the generals present, including military advisor Xi Zhicai, smiled bitterly.


    60% of the seized were enough to support the army of 50,000. Is this a small profit?


    Of course, Qin Wen said it correctly in a certain sense. After all, compared with Qianli Hetao, what does the 50,000 army count?


    "Lord, although our army has seized Hetao, it is still severely damaged."


    Xi Zhicai stood up with a serious face and said in a deep voice: "When Temujin completely resolves the Xianbei, our army will definitely compete for Hetao again. It may be difficult for our army to defend this Hetao."


    All the generals present showed a solemn expression when they heard this. Although the Jin army has grown a lot in recent years, it is still not as good as the growth rate of the Huns who used cheats.


    Since Temujin served as the Shanyu, he first unified the northern desert and then defeated the Xianbei, the overlord of the grassland. The troops of the territorial people and descendants have expanded several times more than before, and the troops are at their most powerful time.


    The Jin army had just taken the Hetao, but it had not been time to digest it. It was really difficult to defend Hetao when the troops were exhausted.


    "Why should the military advisor say such a disheartening statement?"


    Yang Ye stood up with a calm expression and shouted: "The soldiers come and the generals come and the water comes and the soil comes and cover them. As long as my Jin army is united, even if the Huns have millions of iron cavalry, why should our soldiers be afraid of?"


    “Well said.”


    Qin Jian said with admiration: "Brother Yang is so bold."


    Not only Qin Jian, but also Zhao Yun, Qin Qiong, Li Dingguo and other generals were also infected by Yang Ye''s fearless spirit, and the atmosphere on the scene became lively. "General Yang is right. No matter how strong the Huns are now, they are still the Huns." Zhao Yunkeng said strongly.


    "That''s right, the lord led us to fight the Huns for seven years, but what kind of battle has it been lost?" Xu Huang said in a deep voice.


    "Yes, the Huns will just bully Mobei and Xianbei. If they dare to provoke our Jin army, they will continue to teach them how to behave." Qin Yong said.


    “Well said…”


    “That’s what it should be…”


    "The Four Generals are over-reputable."


    Seeing that the generals were not scared by the huge military forces of the Huns, Qin Wen nodded with relief and said confidently: "Although the Huns are strong, our Jin army is also different from the past. With the help of everyone, why are our Jin army afraid of being with the Huns? Temujin?"


    Looking at the confident lord, the generals were also in agitation and shouted in unison: "We must swear to be loyal to the lord to death, eliminate the Huns, and pacify the northern border."


    Xi Zhicai made another comment at this time.


    "Lord, although the Hetao Qianli Plain is flat and there is no danger to defend, this only dangerous place, Yinshan, has now fallen into the hands of our army.


    If the Huns want to attack Hetao, they can''t get around Yinshan. Just rebuild this level..."


    Qin Qiong''s eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly: "Yes, our army is good at defending the city. As long as the Huns can return to the army and build a majestic pass on the dangerous road of Yinshan, they can follow the pass and defend the Huns from outside Hetao."


    Xi Zhicai was also surprised by Qin Qiong''s performance, and then smiled and said to Qin Wen: "Lord, I would like to recommend General Shubao as the new gate guard."


    Qin Wen glanced at Qin Qiong, shook his head after thinking for a moment, "Shubao is still too young. Xinguan is related to the safety of Hetao and the three counties in the north and north. He must be a steady general."


    Qin Qiong is a leader in the young generation of the Qin family, so how could Qin Wen be willing to put him in Yinshan, and accompanying Qin Hao to fight the world is his real destination.


    Qin Wen directly ignored Qin Qiong with a disappointed look on his face. After scanning the generals again, his eyes finally stopped on Yang Ye.


    "General Yang Ye, don''t know this important task, do you dare to take it?"


    Yang Ye immediately widened his eyes, feeling both surprised and moved.


    This new pass is not just a pass, but a military center of Hetao in the future. The new pass is more like a general of Hetao than a defender, but rather a general of Hetao on the governor.


    Qin Wen did not appoint his family members, but gave them to someone with a foreign surname, which shows his trust in Yang Ye.


    Yang Yeqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart, clasped his fists with respect and said in a deep voice: "I will definitely live up to the trust of the lord."


    Qin Wen nodded with a faint smile, then said, "Guan Sheng and Qin Yong, you two will be the deputy generals of General Yang Ye."


    "The last one will obey the order."


    "It is urgent to build a new pass. This marquis will order the transfer of 200,000 laborers to come, and it is necessary to build the new pass as quickly as possible."


    "No."


    Yang Ye and the other three generals said in unison, and then Yang Ye said again: "I''ll ask the lord to name the new pass."


    Qin Wen looked north and fell into deep thought. After returning to his senses, he said in a deep voice: "Just call it... Zhenbei Pass."


    ?The second update is coming, thank you for your rewards than Li Bai, Li Taibai, and others, thank you for your support.
