In the Chinese military tent:

"My lord, the 60,000 prairie cavalry that blocked General Yan Rou killed more than 32,000 people and captured more than 26,000 people.

Nearly 53,000 war horses were seized, but only over 30,000 were intact, and the rest had varying degrees of injuries."

Zhao Yundao.

"How many casualties did we have?"

Qin Qi said.

Facing an attack by 60,000 prairie cavalry, Qin Qi was most worried about the safety of Yan Rou and her cavalry division.

The gap in military strength made Qin Qi very anxious.

Although I know that the Xiakou Cavalry Division is very capable of fighting, I still don't feel reassured.

"Lord, our cavalry division has suffered nearly 10,000 casualties. Among them, more than 3,000 soldiers were seriously injured and died. The rest are slightly injured. They will be fully recovered after a few days of rest and will not affect the next battle."

Zhao Yundao.

Qin Qi shook her head.

After the first battle, more than 3,000 people were lost, which was indeed a bit heavy.

But what?

They were blocked by 60,000 prairie cavalry. With the troops at a disadvantage, only more than 3,000 soldiers lost their combat effectiveness, which was not bad.

"Injured soldiers must be well treated by military doctors and arranged for the rest of their lives. Don't be stingy with the medals they deserve.

For the soldiers who died, it is necessary to bring their ashes back to the Central Plains area and let them go home for a proper burial.

We cannot let them become lonely ghosts, we must let them be worshiped by future generations from generation to generation. They are the true heroes of the Central Plains nation."

Qin Qi warned.

"As you command!"

Zhao Yundao.

All soldiers in the army know that Qin Qi cherishes soldiers the most, especially those who died and must be buried in the Martyrs Cemetery.

This decision made the soldiers of the Xiakou Army extremely excited. When the war broke out, the soldiers of the Xiakou Army were not afraid of life and death and fought desperately to kill the enemy.

The pension provided by the Xiakou Army is very high, and together with the implementation of various policies, the soldiers' worries are solved.

The children of military martyrs are raised by the government. If they are boys, they will directly join the military and make meritorious careers when they reach adulthood.

Letting all the fallen soldiers be buried in the Martyrs Cemetery is definitely a good way to greatly improve the soldiers' sense of honor.

Ordinary soldiers who died in ancient times, who would care about their life and death? No one will remember them, let alone incense, and they will become lonely ghosts one by one.

With this move, Qin Qi won the hearts of the soldiers and truly became Qin Qi's direct descendants.

To put it bluntly, in the Xiakou Army, even if the general leading the army wants to rebel, there will not be many soldiers to follow him, and he may even suffer backlash.

Qin Qi is definitely the supreme being in the army.

It is precisely in this way that Qin Qi feels confident and bold in using Lao Cao, Lu Bu and other generals, and is not afraid of Lao Cao, Lu Bu and others having second thoughts.

"My lord, there are more than 30,000 grassland captives in the Ice City now. If they are left to live and eat in vain, troubles may easily arise. Why not arrange something for them to do?"

Jia Xu said.

oh!

"Mr. Wenhe, do you have any good suggestions?"

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, when spring begins, don't we let the captive prairie people chop logs? Since there will be so many captives with nothing to do in the future, we can also let the captives chop down trees at the mouth of the north wind."

Jia Xu said.

Qin Qi nodded.

Last winter, Qin Qi did let the prisoners go to the wild to cut wood and pile them into piles. Qin Qi then took them into the release space and brought them back to modern times.

Over the years, people in the area south of the Yangtze River have grown many silkworm cocoons a year, and Qin Qi purchased them and brought them back.

Qin Qi has thought about it and wait until the transportation, water conservancy facilities, public welfare projects, etc. in the Central Plains area are almost completed.

Take the captives overseas to mine, then take them into the released space and bring them back to modern times for sale.

"In this case, send someone to inform Yan Rou and ask him not to escort the prisoners to the Chinese army camp, but to stay at Beifengkou.

Let’s build an ice city next to the forest at the north wind entrance and send some supplies there.”

Qin Qi said.

"As you command!"

Send orders to soldiers.

"Zilong, how big is the forest at the north wind outlet? How much area is it specifically?"

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, I don't know the exact area, but it seems to be very large. It just stretches to the north and is endless.

The frontal width is dozens of miles. It is precisely because of this that our scouting horses did not conduct in-depth reconnaissance, giving the prairie cavalry a chance to block the attack."

Zhao Yundao.

Qin Qi knew in her heart that the closer to the northern region, the more forest area there would be. Thinking about future generations, the eastern region of Mao Xiong would have a large amount of forest area and mineral resources, and it would definitely be a resource-rich region.

Once the areas surrounding and northern Beihai are captured, the Central Plains will not have to worry about resource issues at all in the future.

"My lord, after the two cavalry divisions of Tai Shi Ci and Wei Yan annihilated 60,000 prairie cavalry, their two generals took the cavalry division to complete the mission. It may take a few days before they return to the Chinese army camp, so I can inform my lord.

"

Zhao Yundao.

Qin Qi nodded and added some wine to Jia Xu and Zhao Yun's glasses.

"Zilong, how many prairie people will gather in the eastern region?"

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, we have carried out a thorough clearing of the Waixinglin area. Those areas are mountainous and forested.

There are not many pure grasslands. The grassland people who gather in those areas are basically scattered. There are dozens, or at most hundreds, of people in one tribe.

Especially when entering areas outside Waixinglin, the weather becomes increasingly severe and the environment is not suitable for human life. During the clearing,

Prairie people are rarely found, so you can completely give up the eradication. You only need to send a small group of cavalry to patrol once a year, and eradicate them when they are discovered. Generally, there will be no major problems."

Zhao Yundao.

"My Lord, the grassland people living in the Waixinglin area have extremely good physical fitness, and many of them look like savages.

When they encounter each other, five of our cavalry division soldiers must unite to kill them. If we fight alone, our soldiers will suffer a loss."

Zhao Yun added.

To be honest, Qin Qi didn't know what Zhao Yun was talking about. She only knew that in modern times, that area was the Far East of the Bear.

It is said that Mao Xiong built many cities in the Far East. Later, the Red Empire collapsed, fewer and fewer people lived in the Far East, and many cities became empty cities.

The target of the expedition is the Beihai area. When the Beihai is captured, the cavalry division must be sent deep into the area north of the Beihai.

It’s hard!

To be honest, the prairie people living in the Beihai area are more accurately said to be savages than prairie people.

It is these savages who drive their cattle and sheep southward every year, bringing great suffering to the Central Plains.

They have no writing, no inheritance, and no civilization. Officials in the Central Plains area always have to reason with these people, which is not what they want to do.

In the hearts of barbarians, they only believe in the bows and arrows in their hands, while they believe in the kindness and etiquette of the Central Plains people.

When dealing with this kind of race, it is useless to reason with them. You can only speak in a language they understand.

The best words are the bows, arrows and swords in the hands of soldiers. The best way is to kill them until they are afraid, kill them until they are frightened, and kill them until they hear the people from the Central Plains being afraid. This is the best way, words.

Qin Qi picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"Strive to end the conquest next year, take over Beihai and other areas, and give China's descendants hundreds of years of peace."

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, if we want to completely control the Beihai area, we must send a cavalry division to patrol the Beihai area every year.

We cannot allow the grassland people to develop and grow, let alone give them time to recuperate and recuperate, and they will be nipped in the bud.”

Jia Xu said.

Qin Qi nodded and supported Jia Xu's words. The treatment of the grassland people was to eliminate them as soon as possible and not give them time to recuperate, let alone allow them to develop and grow.

"My lord, what Military Advisor Jia said is very difficult to implement. We can't solve the problem of sending out cavalry divisions, unless we take Beihai and build a city there to station a cavalry division for a long time and patrol frequently."

Zhao Yundao.

"Zilong is right, we need to discuss this matter carefully and how we can protect the Beihai region.

This place is very important to our Central Plains region. We can’t see it now, but in hundreds or thousands of years, its importance will be revealed.”

Qin Qi said.
