We are all professional soldiers, there is no reason for us to make such stupid mistakes.
As the soldiers were so busy, no one could tell whether the person they passed by was one of their own.
Xu Wei took this opportunity to sneak into the Crescent Pass quietly.
After going through many twists and turns, he finally found Xiao Tiannan.
At this moment, Xiao Tiannan was also extremely busy.
As one of the few civil servants Yelu Shenxuan brought with him on this trip, Xiao Tiannan was mainly responsible for counting casualties and material losses, which must be reported to Yelu Shenxuan immediately.
So when he saw Xu Wei standing in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed drastically.
He took a deep breath, pretended to be calm, and said to the assistant beside him: "You count the battle losses first. I will go to the latrine and come back immediately."
Although the assistant was puzzled, he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He agreed respectfully and took over the work Xiao Tiannan was doing.
Xiao Tiannan gave Xu Wei a wink, and then led him outside to a deserted place.
"Are you crazy!? You are running back now. Do you know that if someone finds out, not only will you be dead, but I will be implicated as well!" Xiao Tiannan said angrily.
Xu Wei said expressionlessly: "The most dangerous place is the safest place. As long as I wear the clothes of the Liao army along the way, who will question me?"
Xiao Tiannan snorted coldly and said: "If you have something to say, please tell me quickly. I can't leave for too long, otherwise I will be easily discovered."
Xu Wei did not write any ink and said: "Your Highness asked me to tell you that at any cost, we can persuade Yelu Shenxuan to send troops to pursue us."
Xiao Tiannan's eyes widened.
He didn't know Li Chen's plan.
Therefore, in his opinion, Li Chen should quickly run away with his tail between his legs.
But not only did Li Chen not run away, looking at the situation, he also wanted the Liao army to chase him out?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Xiao Tiannan is definitely not a fool if he can sneak into Yelu Shenxuan's side.
He thought carefully, combined with the casualties that had just been calculated for most of the casualties, and immediately understood.
It was certainly difficult for the Liao army to capture the Crescent Pass this time, and they suffered heavy casualties.
But compared to the predictions before the war, it was much easier.
Before the war, Yelu Shenxuan's estimate was that the battle would last at least two or three days, and the battle damage would be at least 60% to 70%.
In other words, out of the 490,000 Liao army soldiers capable of fighting, nearly 300,000 will be lost in this battle.
According to Yelu Shenxuan, as long as the casualties are within 400,000, it is acceptable.
However, although the specific battle losses have not yet been fully calculated, according to the current data, Xiao Tiannan estimates that the Liao army's battle losses are at best less than 160,000 people.
Moreover, the entire battle lasted only eight hours.
Fast speed and small loss.
This seemed to be a good thing to be thankful for, but combined with Li Chen's current request, Xiao Tiannan came to think about it.
His face was pale, and he couldn't suppress the shock and even fear in his heart, and said: "The moon... Crescent Pass was deliberately thrown away by the Crown Prince of Qin!?"
Xu Wei had no expression on his face and said calmly: "All you have to do is to handle the things assigned by His Highness, and you don't need to worry about the rest."
Xiao Tiannan gritted his teeth and said: "It's easy for you to say that. Yelu Shenxuan has always been very assertive. If it is something he has decided, not even the monarch can easily change it, let alone me? You think too highly of me!"
