Chapter 1232
The iron hooves swept by. If the hurricane was empty, it would be like a huge wave sweeping across the sky. The already panicked Kushan soldiers were rushing over, crying and howling. The soldiers who were terrified were constantly being trampled on the ground by the iron hooves, and their heads soared into the sky one after another, and blood was filled with storms under the light of the horizontal sword.
The 50,000 Tiger Roaring Iron Cavalry completely defeated nearly 20,000 Kushan Army with just one charge, and then covered it and killed it, killing the Kushan Army to collapse and corpses everywhere.
Lu Bu rode his horse to Zhao Yun's carriage, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Zilong?"
Zhao Tuo, covered in blood, said anxiously: "General Zilong was seriously injured during the previous Battle of Petersburg! He must be treated immediately!"
"Don't worry! Your Majesty sent the imperial physician to come with me! Come on, go and call Old Man Li!"
A moment later, an old man with a long bearded fairy-like body was taken to Zhao Yun's carriage. His complexion was not very good. This period of time, traveling day and night made this ordinary imperial physician very distressed.
The imperial doctor named Li boarded the carriage and immediately began to diagnose Zhao Yun. A moment later, he said to Lu Bu with a dismay: "General Lu, General Zilong is not seriously injured, but due to excessive blood loss and rushing with injuries, it is very troublesome now!"
Zhao Tuo was anxious and grabbed the imperial doctor's wrist, "You must save my general, you must save my general!"
The imperial doctor grinned and finally broke free from Zhao Tuo's hand, saying, "I will now apply golden sore medicine to General Zilong and then apply acupuncture! But we must rush back as soon as possible!" Then he ordered his followers to get the silver needle and medicine box and start treating Zhao Yun.
Lu Bu patted Zhao Tuo on the shoulder. At this time, Lu Bu's deputy general Zeng Gang rode his horse to Lu Bu and reported: "General, more than a thousand Kushan cavalry fled northwest, and the rest were killed or captured by us! How to deal with these prisoners?"
A cold light flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, "Kill them all!"
Zeng Gang was stunned, "General, this is probably inappropriate!"
Lu Bu snorted coldly, "Save it is a waste of food, kill it all!"
Seeing that Lu Bu insisted, Zeng Gang had no choice but to agree.
A moment later, seven thousand terrified prisoners were pressed down and knelt down and their heads were cut off.
That night, Lu Bu led the Tiger Roaring Iron Cavalry to escort Zhao Yun and more than a thousand Canglang Camp remnants to return to the Pamir Fortress overnight.
A day later, the army returned to the Pamir Mountain Fortress, and Chen Chu had already arrived at the fortress.
When Chen Chu saw Zhao Yun's situation, he couldn't help but be anxious and ordered all drug stores in the Western Regions to provide injuries.
Zhao Yun was sent to the backyard of the fortress. Chen Chu sent all the imperial doctors around him to treat Zhao Yun's injuries. A pot of blood and gauze was taken out of the room, which made Chen Chu, who was guarding outside the door, shocked.
Chen Chu paced back and forth outside the room with an anxious expression on his face, and the generals were also worried.
One hour later, the three imperial doctors finally came out of the room, and they all seemed to be exhausted, not because Zhao Yun's injuries were complicated, but because the pressure was too great.
"How is it?" Chen Chu asked anxiously.
Three imperial doctors saluted Chen Chu, and one of the elderly replied: "Trust your Majesty Hong Fu, General Zhao Yun is no longer in danger of his life!"
The big stone in Chen Chu's heart finally let go, and he let out a heavy sigh, "Thank God!"
"But General Zilong is too seriously injured, so I'm afraid it will take some time to wake up! Also, it's best not to disturb General Zilong during this period!" The elderly imperial doctor said carefully.
Chen Chu nodded and said to the three imperial doctors: "I have worked hard for you all this time!"
The three imperial doctors couldn't help but feel panic and said together: "It is an honor for you to serve Your Majesty, and you dare not speak of your suffering!"
Chen Chu smiled, "No need to worry about these red tape! You just have to do your best to heal Zilong's injuries! This is a great achievement!"
The three of them were delighted and agreed in unison. In the current Great Qin Empire, military achievements are something that almost everyone yearns for.
Chen Chu and the generals returned to the lobby of the capital.
Chen Chu couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, Zilong is safe, otherwise I would have had a regret for life!"
Seeing Chen Chu's true feelings reveal, the generals were moved. It was really exciting for an emperor to care about a minister so much.
"Your Majesty, do you want to notify his three wives about Zilong?" Wei Yan asked for instructions.
Chen Chu thought for a moment, "Now Zilong is fine, let me notify his three wives!" "Yes!"
Chen Chu asked: "Where is the Iron Cavalry of Canglang Camp?"
Lu Bu replied: "I have arranged them alone in a camp!"
Chen Chu suddenly stood up and said excitedly: "I want to personally inspect this loyal and brave army who fought bloody battles thousands of miles!"
The scorching sun was in the sky, with more than a thousand iron cavalry of the Canglang camp, with tired faces but firm eyes as firm as rocks, standing neatly on the campground. The people and war horses were not yet regaining their blood, as if the generous and tragic iron-blooded not long ago were right in front of them.
Chen Chu stood on the stage with a solemn expression, looking at the iron-blooded and brave soldiers in front of him, he couldn't help but be extremely excited.
"Soldiers, one day all of us will die, but the dignity and glory you left to the Qin Empire will be immortal!!"
More than a thousand soldiers couldn't help but feel excited and shouted together: "Long live! Long live!~" The sound shook the sky.
When Chen Chu returned to the capital, he was excited and could not calm down for a long time.
"The Cabinet of the Message will immediately select the best reserve troops from the country to add to the Canglang Camp!" "Yes!" The Message said with a loud voice and withdrew from the lobby.
Chen Chu sat down on the head and frowned slightly, "In this comprehensive war, although our army achieved the predetermined goal of capturing the Langtou Mountain Fortress, it lost nearly one-third of the land northwest of Kangju! It can be said that the winner is not decided!"
Chen Chu stayed in the Pamir Fortress until three days later when Zhao Yun woke up, and then returned to the court with confidence. Before leaving, Chen Chu appointed Huang Zhong to temporarily lead the army in the Western Regions to be responsible for military affairs throughout the Western Regions. Yan Yan and Wei Yan remained in the Western Regions. In addition, Chen Chu also stayed Wen Pin, and Sima Yi continued to take charge of civil and diplomatic affairs in the Western Regions.
A few days later, Chen Chu and his group returned to the capital of Kucha, where the Western Regions Protectorate was located. The King of Kucha took out a group of ministers to greet him.
That night, Chen Chu attended the banquet at the invitation of the King of Kucha. The next day he set out to return to the Central Plains. The first and second legions and the Tiger Roaring Iron Cavalry returned with Chen Chu.
Half a month later, on May 5, 200 AD, the army arrived in Luoyang. This day was destined to be famous in history. 'On May 5, 200 AD, the triumphant army of Emperor Wu of the Great Qin returned to Luoyang, and the battle of Langtou Mountain ended here'
Chen Chu, who returned to Luoyang, summoned all the ministers to discuss the journey before he could not wait.
"Your Majesty, this battle is a success. You should erect a monument to commemorate it!" Guo Tu said with a flattering look on his face.
This time, the military generals who had never been accustomed to Guo Tu agreed to it one after another. However, some ministers frowned, especially those old Confucian ministers who always boasted themselves of justice.
Chen Chu signaled the ministers to be calm, glanced at them, and said with a serious expression: "After this battle, although the Langtoushan Fortress and its surrounding areas were occupied, nearly one-third of the land in the northwest of Kangju was lost! What is victory?"
The ministers were stunned.
Chen Chu was silent for a moment and continued: "The matter of erecting a monument and biography is abandoned! The celebration banquet is also spared!"
The ministers were stunned for a moment and said together: "Your Majesty is wise!"
After the court dispersed, the ministers were talking about it on the way to the court, and many people couldn't help but suspect that Chen Chu was going to change his internal and external policies.
Chen Chu came to Linde Hall, and four cabinet ministers who stayed in Luoyang stood at the steps, Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, Lu Su, and Sima Fang.
"Zijing, how much has our army lost in this battle?" Chen Chu asked.
Lu Su replied: "The total number of casualties is nearly 600,000, and all the main forces have suffered losses to varying degrees! The food and supplies consume huge amounts, and this amount is equivalent to 6 million taels of silver. The pension for the injured soldiers is 18 million taels of silver, plus the other expenses of 2 million taels of silver, a total of 26 million taels of silver was consumed, and this battle was basically no gain!"
