Although the battle of Nishui River Valley was won, the Han army suffered heavy losses.
The Xuanwu Army under Zhang Yi's command was down to ten, and the heavy infantry under Liu Lin's command had about 300 casualties and casualties, which was almost completely disabled. Even if the troops were replenished, it would take at least one or two years of martial arts training.
Can renew the previous unrelenting energy.
The Jufu troops were better, with more than 600 killed and nearly 400 injured, and one of the three was killed.
The only ones who were not injured were the Xiliang cavalry, about two hundred of them.
Such casualties naturally made Zheng Pu no longer capable of taking risks.
Therefore, after he moved back to Linjing County and was stationed there, after much thought, he wrote a letter to the Prime Minister asking for instructions to make further adjustments to the ministries under his supervision.
For example, Liu Lin's heavy infantry no longer formed an independent battalion.
He planned to let Liu Lin serve as a deputy under Gou Fu and let Gou Fu expand the headquarters to 4,000 people.
During the battle in the Nishui River Valley, he discovered that the Wei army had already figured out how to effectively fight against the death camps.
A normal heavy infantry's armor and stomach weighs about forty (Han) kilograms, and the armor and stomach of the death camp weigh twice that. This is because the old side has the advantage of being difficult to damage with swords and spears. However, in this fierce battle, Hu Zunbu specially let many infantry
Holding the divination halberd, the horizontal blade of the divination halberd hooked the ankles to make the heavy infantry lose their center of gravity and fall to the ground.
It also turned the heavy armor stomach into a reminder for the heavy infantry.
It was difficult for the fallen death camp to get up quickly. In the melee, they were stabbed to death by countless blades, or were trampled to death by the swarming enemy soldiers.
The conversion between advantages and disadvantages only occurs in an instant.
In this way, consuming countless material and financial resources to continue to replenish the death camps is already more gain than loss.
As for the Liu Yin and Wang Ping tribes who had not yet faced the battle and had no casualties, Zheng Pu also wanted them to recruit a thousand men each to increase their own combat strength and serve as a garrison force to confront Qi County in Niwei.
Zheng Pu asked the two of them to transfer to Yiju County and set up camp where the muddy water merged into the Jingshui River.
Against the Wei Dynasty, more than 20,000 troops were stationed in Qixian County. In order to be able to safely farm and accumulate grain in the counties of Longdong (Anding County) and prepare for the subsequent war, Zheng Pu naturally had to strengthen his vigilance.
As for the Xiliang cavalry, there are only more than 200 vacancies. It is enough to recruit some Qiang and Hu herdsmen or rangers from the counties in the Hexi Corridor.
The biggest change was in the Xuanwu Army.
Almost half of this infantry was lost every time it went into battle. Now it was difficult for him to see in the army the old soldiers he had recruited from Nanzhong Zangke in the past. Feeling sad, he also felt that there was no need to replenish the soldiers.
The establishment has been restored.
Therefore, he advised the prime minister to ask Zhang Ni, the governor of Xuanwu, to serve as the governor of Anding.
The remaining Xuanwu soldiers will be transferred to the county soldiers and settled in Anding County to appease the Qiang and Hu tribes and intimidate the rebels.
After Anding County was recovered, troops would naturally be left to garrison it.
It was intended that Zhang Yi would stay in the commandery, and among the various generals and generals under Zheng Pu's command, he was the only one who was most suitable.
In Anding County, where Hu and Han people live together, there are not many Han people. Most of the territory is the habitat of the Qiang and Hu tribes. Therefore, there are too many people and brave people, and it is difficult to make a living. Bloody conflicts often break out over the comparison of money and money in social life.
Because Liu Yin and Jufu, who were born into wealthy families, had difficulty in understanding the hardship and helplessness of the lower class due to their growing environment and experiences; Wang Ping, on the other hand, was less than ten literate, and often felt self-conscious and solemn.
He was suitable to lead the county and care for the people. Zhang Yi, who was born in a poor family, had a good moral character and had worked hard as a county official to become a general, was undoubtedly the best candidate.
However, due to the previous consideration of restoring "good family members in the six counties", Zheng Pu also asked the Prime Minister to transfer Wang Hua, who had just come to Longyou to take up a post, to stabilize the administration. There was no need to change Wang Hua's official position. Anyway, he was posted in the Prime Minister's Office.
It has been a common thing in recent years for Liao Zuo to take up his post.
Yes, Zheng Pu had no intention of petitioning for the restoration of Beidi County.
Don't have that strength.
During the previous unification, the Han court was unable to maintain the territory of Beidi County, let alone the current Han court.
Therefore, he asked Wang Hua to come to contact the Qiang and Hu tribe commanders in Beidi County and the leaders of the Han family survivors to see if they could discuss a feasible and win-win system for getting along with each other.
The fact that he did not do it personally was not because he maintained his identity as the general of Zhenxi, but because he was really busy with military affairs.
The recruitment of prisoners after the war, the resettlement and household registration of the five thousand soldiers from Linjing City who surrendered, as well as the pensions for the dead and wounded soldiers and the replenishment of military equipment, etc., already left him exhausted.
Moreover, his condition has not improved yet.
Alas, the long period of mourning without meat and fish made his body unable to withstand military service for a long time.
Time flows endlessly.
Before I knew it, it was already the beginning of summer and April.
Liupan Mountain, which separates Longyou and Guanzhong, is covered by a thick sea of clouds. It flows like water. With the ups and downs of the mountains, it is amazing.
There is a Liangmao Jingxiu in the east of Chaona County. The tributary (Ruhe) that meanders eastward and merges into the Jingshui River forms a waterfall with a height of tens of meters. The water rushes down, rumbling, and the water vapor spreads over the entire mountain.
The slopes are green, and the fresh breath of nature is breathable; two or three cabins are quietly hidden in the valley, not disturbing the joy of the grass and trees singing and dancing in summer, everything is so peaceful.
Half a month ago, when the spring plowing in Anding County had just begun, Zheng Pu, who had been ill for a long time and was getting heavier day by day, came here to stay and rest temporarily after the military affairs were roughly finalized.
Originally, the prime minister planned to send Hu Ji or Xiang Chong to temporarily take over the affairs of Longdong and let him return to his family home in Luomen, Hebei County to rest.
Although Zheng Pu wanted to go back to see what his one-year-old second son looked like, and to go back and feel the tenderness and tranquility of the time when his wife and concubines were by his side and his children were around his knees, he thought about it and rejected the prime minister's kindness.
Without him, compared to those soldiers who were killed or injured in battle, he was already very lucky!
It's just that he is ill, and it's not like he can't manage things. Why make such a fuss and interfere with the affairs of the country?
A man in the army, even though he has a sword on his body, his expression does not change. If he returns home to recuperate if he catches a minor illness, it would be so pretentious. How can he order his soldiers to face death on the battlefield in the future?
Furthermore, it would not be appropriate to temporarily replace Hu Ji or Xiang Chongzhuan.
It is not that Zheng Pu is arrogant and thinks that his talents are irreplaceable; nor is it that these two people are too few in the battle and have no reputation, which will make Ni Wei covet Longdong.
But the Qiang and Hu marshals in Beidi County and the leaders of the Han family survivors were somewhat arrogant.
However, Wang Hua did not reach an agreement with them.
Or perhaps it could be said that since the late emperor, the Han Dynasty had always demonstrated benevolence and righteousness to others, which made them feel that they could gain more rights when they returned to the imperial court.
Such as official positions and rewards, the autonomy to govern according to the drawing of territory, etc.
"The general is incompetent and unable to benefit the country."
Wang Hua, who came to report, roughly narrated the discussion, and then handed over his hand to accuse, "From Hua's point of view, Liangzhou and Guanzhong counties were out of line during the reign of Emperor Ling, and the dignity of the imperial court was not preserved during the reign of Emperor Xian.
The war with Ni Wei is urgent, which makes them feel that our army may have the desire to compromise and seek compromise, so they are unruly and demanding more."
