"Kill 517 enemies, captured 2,744 enemies, seized 863 war horses, and the rest of the soldiers and armor were... "

When he arrived in the army, he had to serve the army. Wang Changling's temporary dispatch was the chief clerk of the army, who was specifically responsible for planning and carrying out military merits. After the end of this battle, he summarized the results of the civil servants and reported them to Ye Chang.

"Okay, great victory" Zhang Hao was happy to show his color.

Everyone looked at Ye Chang. Ye Chang smiled and picked up the kettle, poured a cup of hot water into the cup in front of Nan Jiyun, and then presented it to him with his own hands: "Second brother, I underestimated my second brother before the war. I shouldn't have seen my second brother bravely today. I've been taught. I can't drink wine in the army, so I just give this cup of water to pay a moment to pay my second brother a moment of honor. After I finally achieved my full merit, I will go back to Lushun to serve my second brother with another wine to celebrate the merits."

Nan Jiyun stroked his beard and smiled, picked up the cup and drank it all: "The Mu Nu dared to be the number one warrior in the Khitan tribe, just a local chicken and a tile dog, just a sign to sell the first place."

Everyone laughed. Why is this the popular words of Guan Yu when he killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". In fact, in the military formation, the possibility of the two generals fighting one-on-one duel is not high. There are very few who win like Nan Jiyun.

"Another respect, even more respect, Nanba Wu is not inferior to Guan Er, and his wisdom is far better than him," Zhang Hao cheered from the side.

So Ye Chang poured another glass of water for Nan Jiyun, and Nan Jiyun drank it all in one go.

"There are three prisoners who are Goguryeo. The chief of the Wei tribe in Shiwei dares to rebel with the Khitan and must be severely punished. The rest of the personnel should be punished as prisoners according to my wishes. What do you think?" Ye Chang said with a flash of eyes.

"Since this is the case, I originally thought of taking advantage of the slack farming after the autumn harvest to cultivate more wastelands and build more roads. Now I have delayed these damn barbarians and punished them as prisoners. It is already Ye Sima who has given them a way out," said Zhang Hao.

"That's right, the army is not enough. The one who restricts this matter is insufficient iron materials." Nan Jiyun also agreed.

Wang Changling couldn't say anything about this, but just remembered that in the information Ye Chang gave him, Jilizhou opened an iron ore near Jian'anzhou in the northeast of Beisha City, which Ye Chang was known as Lianshan Iron ore. One of the important industries in Lushun is iron smelting. With coal from Dongmu and the Lianshan Iron ore as raw material, two furnaces have been built, both of which adopt different smelting methods from the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty, and can produce 500 kilograms of iron every day.

Mo underestimated these 500 kilograms. As long as the raw materials are sufficient, there will be 180,000 kilograms a year. The annual iron production of the entire Tang Dynasty is only 10 million kilograms. However, for Jilizhou, which is in a waste, this output is still small. Various tools and daily equipment need to be used for iron, military weapons, and armor. In addition, some iron needs to be sold to the Central Plains to open up the market. Five hundred kilograms of iron are not enough.

Wang Changling remembered that Ye Chang had proposed to him that the iron and steel production in Lushun would increase by two within three years. What restricts this goal is the shortage of iron ore and carbon. In the final analysis, it is the shortage of human resources.

"Then it's settled, so I'll leave this matter to Qinshou to handle. Although it's hard labor, I won't allow them to have too many casualties before squeezing their last drop of value." Ye Chang said with a smile.

Others were used to Ye Chang's style, and when they laughed it off, Wang Changling couldn't help but feel terrifying. He felt a little sympathetic to the captives.

"In addition, the Khitans and the Andong tribes who were threatened had a total of more than 60,000 people. Jian'an Prefecture was based on our previous appointment, and there were only more than 10,000 defenders. What do you think about this?" Ye Chang asked again.

"More than 60,000 people are absolutely impossible." Wang Changling said: "I have traveled to the frontier. There are only 20,000 or 30,000 people in the Khitan, and there are only such numbers, including the elderly, weak, women and children."

"That is, there are only 20,000 Khitans, and there are no more than 8,000 of them who can fight." Zhang Hao also said: "The other tribes have their own ulterior motives. If we do not have the victory today, they may be able to advance and retreat with the Khitans. After the great victory today, they will be frightened by the power of the Tang Dynasty, and they are afraid that they will persuade the Khitans to surrender."

The conclusion that everyone discussed was that although the Khitans claimed to be 60,000, only half of the truly capable people were able to fight, less than 30,000. In the battle today, more than 3,000 prisoners were killed. Even if the other fugitives returned to the camp, it would mean that the total number was lost by one tenth. The Khitans were nomadic peoples. If they had the upper hand, they would be as fierce as wolves, but if they were at a disadvantage, they would be as weak as sheep.

When Ye Chang heard them discussing the Khitan like this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. At this time, the Tang Dynasty was in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and almost all the surrounding tribes were cut by the Tang Dynasty's swords. Therefore, the Tang people had a psychological advantage over them. What kind of people are invincible? It is purely a joke in this era.

"A man had to be careful. The captive said that the Mu Nu who was killed by the second brother of Nan was named Za Lai. Before he came, a Goguryeo advised him to use troops with caution." Ye Chang said: "This man is familiar with the situation in Liaodong. He was recruited by the Khitans after they entered Mugai Prefecture, and he was quite smart. Therefore, the Khitan Dilie Khan relied heavily on it."

"Report to the lord, I have seen this person before." Zhi Mou Ding also followed the army. He heard Gong Fu's name and spoke.

Because of his identity, he has always been cautious in his words and actions in the army. When everyone spoke, he looked at him. He was not very panicked, so he told him about the meeting with this person in Jian'anzhou City. After hearing what he said, everyone knew Gong Fu one step further.

"It seems that he is a bit wise man. When he meets you in Jian'an Prefecture, he wants to privately disagree with the relationship between Jian'an Prefecture and us." Zhang Hao said: "It seems... he can use it."

He has not made any contribution to Ye Chang's hands, and he does not like cumbersome affairs, so he wants to seize the opportunity of this battle. However, his activity has also helped Ye Chang a lot. In the past, he only relied on Ye Chang to decide on his strategy and tactics, but now he has a consultation.

"Mr. Zhang, how to use the law?"

Zhang Hao thought about it for a while, and said hesitantly: "I'll have a fight... Jiang Yu steals the book?"

Speaking of this, he said excitedly: "Yes, it's Jiang Yu who steals books. Since Nan Ba ​​killed Yan Liang, it's natural that Jiang Yu who steals books should have stolen them."

They are discussing how to deal with the Khitans here, and the Khitans are also discussing how to deal with them.

Some of Sala's defeated troops fled, but most of them returned to the city of Jian'anzhou and met with most of the Khitans. When they learned that Sala was killed by Tang generals one-on-one, Di Lie's face changed drastically: "I don't expect that the Tang Dynasty is here, and there are such brave heroes."

Gong Fu also felt creepy. Sala was known as the number one warrior of the Khitan. Although he had the element of boasting, he was brave and brave. Gong Fu saw it with his own eyes. Di Lie fought from Gaimuzhou to Jian'anzhou, and broke more than 40 cities in 800 miles, including more than 10 cities, including Sala, who led his troops to capture it. However, in front of the Tang general, he did not even have the power to fight back.

"There are more than 10,000 soldiers in Tang, what should I do?" Gong Fu murmured.

In addition to exaggerating Nan Jiyun's bravery, the defeated army that fled back also exaggerated the number of the Tang army. Ye Chang had only 5,000 troops, but in their mouths, it turned into 15,000. Gong Fu knew that this number was moisture, but he did not expect it to be exaggerated twice.

"Didn't you say that the Tang people in Jilizhou only have five thousand troops?" Di Lie looked at Gong Fu, a little angry: "How come the five thousand people have become more than ten thousand?"

"This... Could it be that the Tang Dynasty sent reinforcements? Yes, yes, we arrived in Gaimuzhou in March. For so long, the Tang Dynasty might have sent reinforcements, but I don't know the number of reinforcements sent... Di Liehan, now the enemy is dark and we are bright, so it is not advisable to fight with it suddenly. Let's send people to explore the truth and reality first."

Dire nodded.

This was a last resort. The Khitans surrounded Jian'anzhou City and claimed to be 60,000, but in fact, only 30,000 people could fight. Most of them were new clans with their own ulterior motives. Even so, Sala sent several thousand. If there were more than 10,000 people from the Tang Dynasty, even if they could not defeat the Khitans, it would be enough to restrain them and prevent them from conquering Jian'anzhou with all their strength. If time delays, the Liaodong tribes that were originally waiting and watching may change, and the new reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty may also gather more and more.

"Who will send?" Dire asked.

This time he didn't want to send Gong Fu. First, his army is unstable now, and this Goguryeo man needs to come up with advice and appease the Liaodong tribes. Second, he is a little unable to trust Gong Fu.

"Sun Kezhe speaks Chinese and Chinese, and can be the official messenger. You can bring two more people who speak Chinese," Gong Fu suggested.

At this time, the Khitans had few surnames, and those with surnames were all surnamed Li and Sun, which was given to the Tang Dynasty. The ancestor of the Sun Kezhe clan was Sun Wanrong, who had received the surname given to the Tang Dynasty. Sun Kezhe had stayed in Liucheng and served An Lushan. His Chinese level was not inferior to Gongfu.

Dilie also felt that Sun Kezhe was the right candidate for the messenger, so he nodded in agreement.

After receiving the order of Di Lie, Sun Kezhe led the second envoy to whip the horse and face the Tang army. He met the Tang army about twenty miles away from Jian'anzhou City. At this time, the Tang army was setting up camp. Hearing that a Khitan envoy came, Ye Chang smiled and raised his thumbs to Zhang Hao: "June Zhang was not bad, but he really sent someone."

"Let Zheng Mou Ding accompany this person." Zhang Hao said.

As a welcoming envoy, Ji Mou Ding came to see Sun Kezhe and found that the visitor was not Gong Fu. Ji Mou Ding was secretly disappointed: If the person who came was Gong Fu, according to Zhang Hao's plan, it would be a great opportunity for him to make contributions.

"I don't know your honorable name?" asked Zheng Mou Ding.

"I am the captain Sun Kezhe, who is you?" Although Sun Kezhe was ordered to come to the envoy, he received Di Lie's explanation. Their main purpose was to find out the truth, but they could not lose their prestige in front of the Tang people, so his attitude was a bit arrogant.

"I am the chief of the Tang Dynasty, the chief of the naturalized department of the naturalized department of Jili Prefecture." The chief of the Sima of my family, sent me to welcome you, and ask you to come in."

Sun Kezhe did not politely and entered proudly. The Tang army on both sides glared at him, but he sneered proudly: "My army came south and was invincible. What kind of warrior has never seen before, so why do you have to do this?"

Pin Mou Ding was speechless, but he was thinking in his heart how Ye Chang would treat this guy when he saw him. As they expected, they originally thought that the person who came would be Gong Fu, so they prepared a lot of methods, but if it was Sun Kezhe, those methods were completely useless.

Because he had just set up camp, Ye Chang's commander's tent had not been built yet. Ye Chang saw the Khitan envoy in the open space he had set up. When he heard that the envoy was named Sun Kezhe, Ye Chang was slightly stunned. He frowned. Just as he was thinking about how to respond, Zhang Hao said, "Your surname is Sun and you call yourself a captain, is it a member of the Sun Wanrong clan?"

"That is, the clan ancestors have returned to the governor of Chengzhou and the Duke of Yongle County."

Ye Chang's heart moved and heard Zhang Hao say, "Mu Nu's courage actually sent a rebel to be an envoy. His unjust intention was already obvious to Sima. There is no need to say much to him, just drive him back."

Sun Wanrong was once named the governor of Guichengzhou and Duke of Yongle County by Wu Zetian, but he later rebelled and was one of the culprits of the Yingzhou Rebellion. With Zhang Hao's shout, Sun Kezhe's face changed slightly. He had always been proud of his clan ancestors and immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "The one who was rebelled by a certain ancestor was Wu Zhou, and what he did was Li Tang. At that time, a certain ancestor said, why not return to my King Luling, so he raised an army to fight against Wu Zhou. If not, this Tang Dynasty would not be able to sit on him."

This guy is quite familiar with the history of his clan. When the Khitans launched the Yingzhou Rebellion, the excuse was that Wu Zetian usurped the Tang Dynasty and asked him to return to the throne with the King of Luling Li Xian, who later became Emperor Zhongzong of Tang. Li Xian also reported that his son was Li Longji, the current emperor Sanlang. Hearing that the Khitans regarded the rebellion of burning, killing and looting as a great contribution to Li Tang, Ye Chang was furious. He glanced at Zhang Hao: "What Mr. Zhang said was very good. After the traitor, he spoke foul and smelled. Such people were also sent to serve as envoys. Khitan Dilie was really insulting me too much. People came out and chopped the envoy and ordered the deputy envoy to take his head back."

Sun Kezhe was shocked. An Lushan was always trying to kill Khitan civilians to make his first achievements. The young Tang official in front of him seemed to be more cruel than An Lushan, and he wanted to cut off the head of the messenger without hesitation. He shouted, "The two countries will not kill the envoys." However, the guards surrounded him did not pay attention to him, and he grabbed him and dragged him far away.

Amid his screams and curses, Ye Chang shouted with a serious face and said, "Why are you so unreasonable, you dare to bring this dirty person to me?"

Zheng Mou Ding was so stunned that he heard Ye Chang say again: "You dog slave, are you dissatisfied with me, and actually asked such a traitor to humiliate me later, so that you can't even do such a small matter as a welcome envoy? People come, drag him down and beat ten army sticks, and use this as a warning."

Zheng Mou Ding raised his head, but saw Ye Chang winking at him.

He immediately understood that Ye Chang and Zhang Hao were adapting to the situation and temporarily changed the show and sang here.
