The officials on the northern front suffered heavy losses, and the southern front would not be able to suffer singly.

Originally, the Wuchang army had gathered in Yingcheng and was preparing to attack Anlu, where the robbers of Jiang robbers in Huaixi, but before the battle, the governor Li Jian suddenly died of a stroke. Six thousand Wuchang soldiers were immediately without a leader. Under the protection of the marching Sima Yang Ping and the judge Liu Zhen, although there was no trouble, the pace of the attack was put aside.

Seeing Li Jian's death, the return of the Eyue Mianqian flags was still not yet settled. Fan Ze, the governor of Jingnan, who was originally preparing for reinforcements, and Li Xun, the commander of Hunan Observation, could only hold his troops in vain.

In the Lingyunzha military camp, there were white tents, white snow, black soil, and red bloodstains: the mules of the Huaixi Army were lined up in a long line, carrying corpses on them, heading towards Yancheng.

The bodies were all from soldiers in Huaixi. At this time, Wu Shaocheng's beard was covered with ice and snow, and he looked at the scene with a pale face.

Other Huaixi generals stood behind him.

In fact, in the previous fierce battle, although the official army suffered heavy losses and the camp was burned down, they retreated more than ten miles, Wu Shaocheng's performance on the surface was quite good, but his side actually killed two thousand people.

Behind the official army is the entire imperial court providing support, and the blood recovery speed is very fast.

And Shin Guang-Chai died of two thousand elite soldiers, and the bleeding from the water will be difficult to recover in a short period of time.

I heard that seeing that Wei Bo's Tian Xu did not dare to do anything, the court was preparing to transfer the Heyang Army and Yicheng Army to the Huaixi battlefield.

This asymmetrical oppression of power still made Wu Shaocheng very uncomfortable.

But then in the tabernacle, Li Yuanping strongly advised: "In the ritual, the military is false and real, deceitful. The number of deaths of the official army in battle is 10,000, and we have reduced the number of deaths in our own formation to 500."

"What then? Win today, die two thousand; win tomorrow, die two thousand. Then Huainan, Eyue, Heyang and other troops will besiege again, and we will never have any fighting troops in Caizhou." Wu Shaocheng was very dissatisfied.

Li Yuanping offered advice: "As long as these numbers are promoted, we will talk about the battle of Lingyunzha, and our Huaining Army will have a great victory. At that time, there will naturally be people who will speak for us, and it depends on the attitude of the court."

Hearing this, Wu Shaocheng frowned and thought for a while, then nodded.

At this moment, behind a deer antler outside the tent, Wu Shaoyang stood in a hidden place, opposite him was Wu Shaocheng's slave Xianyu Xiong'er.

"In your opinion, is there a chance of winning this battle?" Xiong'er asked Wu Shaoyang and said.

Wu Shaoyang remained silent.

Although he was a pro-war faction before, he expected that the situation of the war would expand and the court's attitude became more and more tough.

Originally, Wu Shaoyang thought that he would win a local victory against the imperial government army, so he forced him to negotiate and transfer it to Huaixi for greater rights and interests.

In the past, when various towns were so illegitimate against the imperial court, they rarely miscalculated them, and they could be said to be able to attack and retreat or defend.

But at this time, unlike in the past, the court had a strong mobile reserve force and came to Huaixi continuously. The prime minister who presided over the military and political affairs was also very powerful: in the overall war, Huaixi could not end well.

Finally, Wu Shaoyang shook his head and whispered something to Xianyu Xiong'er...

The Golden Palace of the Daming Palace, surrounded by the forest gardens were covered with silver frost and snow. The emperor sat in the somewhat cold East Hall. His toes in his boots were constantly curled up because of the coldness, and his mouth was filled with white mist.

Lu Zhi and Du Huangshang sat opposite him, and on the side were Hanlin scholar Wei Zhiyi, Li Jifu, and Wei Duke.

Huaixifang released news:

Wu Shaocheng rewarded the soldiers and announced that he had killed more than 10,000 officials at Lingyunzha Formation. The official army retreated dozens of miles, seized countless baggage and armored battles, and only five hundred casualties were killed or killed on his own.

Faced with this news, the emperor was a little panicked first, why was the losses so heavy?

At that time, Tian Xu from Wei Bo suddenly asked someone to go to Beijing to report the matter, and wanted to intermediate the war between the court and Huaixi. Li Shigu from Ziqing, and even King Chengde Wu Jun, also agreed, asking the emperor to take the people of the world as a reminder. As long as Wu Shaocheng is willing to apologize, he will forgive Huaixi.

Xuanwu and Li Wanrong were not willing to be lonely, and expressed his opinion to the military commander Ju Wenzhen, saying that Shenwei, Shence and other Beijing troops were unable to fight, and Du Ya's Eastern Capital Defense Forces were weak, so how could he know how to fight? It would be better for the entire Northern Front Wars, so I came to govern the city. Gao Tang was in charge of all parties in Shouchun.

The Censor Muzan, the Censor of the Censorate, also submitted a memorial to the Daming Palace, saying that since the war in Huaixi, it has been nearly a year since the Huaixi War, and it has been spent on 600,000 to 700,000 yuan a month. It is better to truce the war and give the people a rest.

The emperor was also a little sacred about this.

"I want to appoint Lu Changyuan as the governor of Ruzhou, collect 10,000 Dingkou from the prefecture, and replenish the power of the front line at any time. What about the losses of the Shen Ce Army?" In an anxious manner, the emperor wanted to interfere directly in command again.

Lu Zhi said: "Ruzhou is on the front line, and it is already very difficult for local people to carry out the military camp transfer. They have only tens of thousands of household registration, but they have to collect 10,000 Dingkou. How can they bear it? Furthermore, these Dingkou were farmers, who have never practiced formations and fought, and suddenly joined the army. Even if they do not flee at the battle, they will be killed and injured by Cai Kou, causing morale."

After being rejected by Lu Zhi, the emperor was a little unhappy and asked the government army what to do if they suffered such great losses?

"The so-called loss of 10,000 is just Cai Kou's remarks. The exact book of the military governors and military commanders of each army has not been submitted yet, so Your Majesty does not have to be distracted." Lu Zhi was very calm, "The front-line fighter planes change rapidly, Your Majesty is in Zichen, and everyone looks up to you, so you should be more serious."

At this time, Li Jifu, who had always been resourceful, said: "It is better to authorize the Dongdu to stay in Du Ya and recruit the mountain sheds in the capital of Shaanxi and Guodu to get three thousand soldiers first to make up for the losses of each battalion."

The emperor agreed.

Du Huangshang said: "When Gao Zhonglang lives in the Dongdu, the official army will win step by step; when Gao Zhonglang leaves the Dongdu and goes to Huainan, the official army will run unfavorably."

When everyone heard this, including the emperor, shook their heads and said nothing.

Then Du Huangshang said: "I Huang Shang observed the battle formation in Huaixi. Except for Chen Xuzhongwu's army, most of them were visiting troops, with only three or five thousand people each. They were definitely not against Wu Shaocheng's opponents when they fought alone, but they had no authority to take charge and were unable to coordinate effectively, so they were repeatedly taken advantage of by Cai Kou."

"Then a minister must go there," the emperor replied.

After thinking about it, only Du Huangshang meets this condition.

So the emperor agreed to issue a document immediately, asking Du Huangshang to take charge of the Dongdu, Chen Xu, Shaanxi Guo, Heyang, Zheng Hua and other roads as the minister of the disciple Ping Zhangshi, and went to supervise the military formation. However, the emperor was afraid that Gao Yue would be dissatisfied, so he entrusted Wei Zhiyi to write an additional document to explain the matter to Gao Yue.

At this time, Du Huangshang, Lu Zhi, Li Jifu and others were all determined to reduce the vassals, so they all asked the emperor to not negotiate a truce with Huaixi. They should make up their minds to completely conquer the Cai Kou, revitalize the court rules, and let other Fangzhen know what the kingly law is.
