"All statistics have been calculated!" Li Yi's deep voice sounded, "In this war, our Southwest Headquarters Army lost 34,513 people, and the Seventh and Eighth Army lost a total of 20,000 people.
More than 4,500 people, plus a group of 48,200 people lost, our army lost a total of 107,213 people."
When Li Xiang heard this number, he was stunned for a moment. He glanced at the statistical table on the table. This was not a cold number, but a living person.
Each number represents a Xiliang warrior who has passed away. On the Chaos World side, the number of troops lost is no less than the number of troops lost in the battle on the small grassland.
Li Xiang was heartbroken when he saw this, especially the loss of soldiers from Xiliang headquarters.
"Have the enemy's losses been estimated?" The losses of the coalition forces cannot be accurately calculated, and can only be roughly estimated.
Speaking of the coalition forces, a little smile appeared on Li Yi's face: "The losses on the coalition forces cannot be calculated for the time being, but the number of coalition soldiers captured by our army is already as high as 160,000. We collected them on the battlefield
There were probably about 140,000 corpses raised.
Therefore, it is estimated that the losses of the coalition forces are more than 300,000, and this is not counting those. The bodies have not been found, and have not been eliminated, but there are no safe soldiers!"
"The ratio of 3:1 is considered very good, but let the commanders of each department count for me one by one their shortcomings revealed in this war!" In this war, the Xiliang soldiers played an outstanding role.
It was not very good, a lot of unnecessary losses, but many soldiers died because of their negligence.
"I have already ordered it!" This is a tradition of the Xiliang army. After the war, the commanders of each department must write a document to write down the shortcomings or shortcomings they felt on the battlefield.
Then the next time they fight, they will learn from these lessons and try to reduce the losses of their troops in the war.
"That's good!" Li Xiang stood up: "I will leave all the affairs in the army and the chaotic world to you. I will go over and have a few words with Xuantian Sect Leader and others, and then prepare to return to Xiliang City.
side!"
"Won't you stay here for a while?" Li Yi said softly: "Second Mistress, you are not making a fuss about eating the delicacies from the Blue Star World. I have already sent people to the areas where the Blue Star World is to summon some cooks.
Come here, they will arrive in our city the day after tomorrow at most."
"You ask people to learn from the cooks in the Azure New World, and then let them return to the Xuanjie to cook for her." Li Xiang said and frowned: "The Xuanjie is not very safe either.
Especially after I cleaned up some people and went to Xiliang City, some morons in Jiuyuan County sensed the crisis and began to collude with some forces in the Central Plains region. I need to go back and take charge."
Li Yi heard this and showed murderous intent on his face: "Master, why do you still let those people live? Wouldn't it be better to just kill them all?
The treatment we give them is several times better than that of officials in the Central Plains, but they are so dissatisfied. The training of officials in our Xiliang headquarters has reached the mid-term stage, and we can train 200 officials in a month.
Qualified officials, although they can only handle some simple things.
But give them a period of time to study, and in no more than two months, they will be qualified for all local positions."
Li Xiang shook his head: "Things are not that simple. Politics is far more difficult than fighting on the battlefield, and Jiuyuan County cannot be ruled entirely by people from Xiliang.
Otherwise, it will make many people fearful, but when the officials you trained mature, I will put them in some tighter positions."
"Those people don't have money!" Xiang Li Zhen thought of the officials he had collected, the belongings in their homes, and all kinds of geniuses and treasures, which made people jealous.
Although those things were very small compared to those in his warehouse, in the eyes of those people, those things were all his, but they were taken away by those people using various means.
How can this make people not angry?
This also made him determined to deal with those officials, even if it made Zhang Qingyun feel embarrassed, he would continue to do it.
Otherwise, it won't be long before the officials in Jiuyuan County will be like those in the Central Plains. They will be there wherever they can get money.
This is not good for his rule in Xijiuyuan County. The current Jiuyuan County cannot afford to support such officials.
So he wants to clean out all these moths, even if some good officials will be killed in the process.
"clear!"
"Go down!" Li Xiang stood up and walked outside: "Please arrange some manpower to send the two mistresses back to the portal. This road may not be safe, so you need to send more manpower!"
"yes!"
After Li Xiang left the tent, Li Yicai walked to his tent.
On the other side, Li Xiang was sitting in a tent with the Xuantian Sect Master and Ji Mo Sect Master, one in white and one in black.
"Thank you Xuantian Sect for your help in this battle, otherwise I don't know what would happen to me in Xiliang!" Li Zhen raised his wine glass: "Thank you very much!" He drank it in one gulp.
"What did the King of Xiliang say? You helped our Xuantian Sect last time, and we haven't repaid you yet!" The Xuantian Sect leader also raised his glass and drank it in one gulp: "We'll settle the score this time, but I hope we can
Xuantian Sect and you, Xiliang, can maintain such an alliance forever!"
"Aren't you afraid that the imperial court will hold a grudge?" Li Xiang put down his wine glass and looked at Xuantian Sect Leader with a half-smile.
Xuantian Sect Leader's eyes met Li Xiang's: "If it were before, I would still be worried, but now."
Xuantian Zongzu shook his head and said with a little regret: "The emperor is no longer the prince he was before. If he could stick to the policy towards Buddhism when the late emperor was there, we would be more afraid, but he let Buddhism in.
He received the support of Buddhism, but at the same time he also lost the help of Taoist sects in the Central Plains, and also lost the assistance of a large number of sects."
"The remaining sects in the Central Plains have all contributed in that war. The sects that have not contributed, or the sects that have good relations with Buddhism, have all been wiped out."
"In the eyes of ordinary people, that war has passed for a long time, but in the eyes of practitioners, that war has only passed for decades and hundreds of years. Many strong men have survived from that era!"
"Do you think that after Buddhism returns to the Central Plains, it will let go of the sects that plundered their Buddhist property? Even if Buddhism shows goodwill to them, will they dare to accept it?
Before Buddhism regained its foothold in the Central Plains, Buddhism might have shown itself to be very kind, but after they returned to their former glory, which sect in the world would not be afraid?
In order to destroy Buddhism, most of the sects and Taoist sects in the Central Plains were mobilized, and with the help of the power of the imperial court, this religion was driven out of the Central Plains.
It's not that they haven't thought about completely annihilating Buddhism, but they don't have the ability. Even if all the power in the world gathers in one place, it would be extremely difficult to destroy the entire Buddhism."
"The return of Buddhism to the Central Plains has a huge impact on us. You have not experienced the war with Buddhism, so you don't know what Buddhism represents in the Central Plains!"
Xuantian Sect Master rarely said a lot of words, and Ji Mo Sect Ancestor Master stayed aside quietly, because he was not born during that war, and he could only see the events of that year from some family book records.
The cruelty of a war.
"Based on my current understanding of the emperor, even if they fail this time, the emperor will allow Buddhism to enter the Central Plains, and the land given to them must be very close to your Liangzhou or Jiuyuan County!" Xuantian
The sect leader solemnly said to Li Xiang: "Under no circumstances should Buddhists be allowed to spread their Buddhist teachings in the territory of Zhanli."
"No sect in the world can be as attractive to ordinary people as Buddhism!
Once there are more Buddhist ancestral temples, you will find that your people will become poorer and poorer, you will find that your land will become less and less, and your money will become less and less.
Because those common people will contribute their land to the so-called Buddha and throw their money to those golden Buddhas that will just stand there and not move. Monks are not giving birth. They only need to recite Buddhist scriptures or practice martial arts every day.
And what they spend will be borne by the people in your territory, the civilians."
"So no matter what, don't let Buddhism enter your territory and spread their teachings."
Li Xiang frowned as he listened: "I have also read a lot of Buddhist scriptures. There are some things in the Buddhist scriptures that are very good and can persuade people to improve. If they are passed on to ordinary people, it can help them distinguish right from wrong!
Wouldn’t it be too arbitrary to kill them all?”
Xuantian Sect Master didn’t know whether Li Xiang was pretending or telling the truth, so he could only explain: “Buddhism does have some things to persuade people to be better, but there are too few of them, and they are very good at pretending. They will send some at first.
When monks who are not good at martial arts enter your territory, they will behave very honestly at the beginning.
After a while, you will find that they are trying to absorb the surrounding things, or in other words, they are changing their teachings.
They will change the content of their teachings according to the race and people they face, and at the same time they will start stealing from the sects in your territory.
I believe you, King of Xiliang, have also felt that the martial arts of Buddhism is a bit weird. It has a sense of martial arts, some Taoism, and at the same time, it also has its own Buddhist things.
This is because when the Buddhist sect entered the Central Plains, the major sects did not notice their existence, so they were allowed to watch on the side while secretly stealing the martial arts and Taoist things in the Central Plains, plus they
Buddhism’s own things were mixed together, and then it became the behemoth it is today!”
"What they are best at is disguising themselves, pretending to make others look unthreatening, and then slowly absorbing the strengths of others and turning them into their own.
Sometimes you have to admire their forbearance!”
Xuantian Sect Master's words contained frustration, disgust, and admiration, because this is how most people become stronger and how the sect rises.
"It seems that I have to observe the surrounding areas carefully and observe!" If Buddhism enters the Central Plains, it will definitely enter Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Youzhou and other areas, among which Liangzhou is already under the rule of Xiliang.
Prime Minister Li had issued a strict ban on Buddhism from the beginning, prohibiting all civilians under Xiliang's rule from believing in Buddhism, and also forbidding monks from entering the area ruled by Xiliang.
Once those monks are found to have entered the territory of Xiliang, all Xiliang civilian soldiers have the right to drive these people out. If anyone discovers but fails to drive them away, they will be severely punished.
If someone protects these monks, he will be expelled from Xiliang and will not be allowed to enter Xiliang's territory again for life. If the area he is in is conquered by Xiliang again, he will be expelled again.
Prime Minister Li used this kind of strict law to make it difficult for Buddhists to move in the southwest territory. Only by wearing a wig and pretending to be a commoner could they walk in the territory of Xiliang.
Otherwise, with a bare head and wearing Buddhist clothes, before entering the depths of the Xiliang territory, he would be expelled by the civilian army from each region.
When this law first came out, many people resisted, but after those who resisted were thrown to Bingzhou, Youzhou and other areas by Li Xiang, no one resisted.
Basically no one in Jiuyuan County resists this law, because they know very well that they rely on Xiliang to have enough food and keep warm clothes.
However, there is also a small group of people who are secretly resisting, but in Jiuyuan County, the base camp of Xiliang, they can only bury their dissatisfaction deep in their hearts.
They don't dare to confront the behemoth Xiliang, especially in the opponent's base camp.
The three of them chatted casually while drinking, and the alliance between Xiliang and Xuantian Sect began.
For Xuantian Sect, a super sect, secular power has little influence on them, but they want to pass on their sect forever and make their sect prosperous.
Then they must have a secular force, or a secular ally. For example, they used to support the crown prince of the imperial court, who is now the Holy Emperor.
But now they discovered that the world was about to be in chaos. The emperor was far away in the imperial capital and allowed Buddhism, the enemy of all the major sects in the world, to enter the Central Plains.
The alliance between the emperor and them has been broken. They need to find another force, and Xiliang is their best choice.
One is because Xiliang is very close to them. Although the two sides have had some conflicts before, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
Second, because of the strength of Xiliang, unless the emperor can reunify the world, he can stop Xiliang from advancing to the Central Plains, otherwise Xiliang will become the most advantageous contender in the world!
