Chapter 417 Difficulties
When it got dark, Jia Yao and He Asu led the army back to her central camp.
Huluo led his army directly back to the left army camp.
In this battle, the casualties suffered by Ga Yao and the others were not unacceptable.
Of the 5,000 soldiers He Asu left to guard the camp, only nearly 2,000 were killed or wounded.
This result was much better than Ga Yao expected.
But when he thought about their food and grass, Gayao's heart was bleeding.
The food and grass that was burned was the food and grass for He Asu's army for three months!
Three months of food and grass!
This is undoubtedly making things worse for them who are extremely short of food.
When he saw the raging fire in the camp, Ga Yao almost couldn't help crying.
Before, they could barely maintain 30,000 troops!
Now, even 30,000 troops cannot be maintained.
But if they don't maintain 30,000 troops, how can they withstand Yunzheng's next offensive?
If they still need to maintain 30,000 troops, the remaining food and grass will only be enough to sustain their 30,000 troops for two months.
"Princess, what should we do now?"
He Asu looked at Jia Yao with a blank expression.
Another third of the grain and grass was lost.
He Asu really doesn't know what to do now.
Withdraw?
If they withdraw, it will be equivalent to opening the middle door to Daqian.
But if we don't withdraw and continue to face off like this, it seems... there's no point in it.
As Jia Yao said, it is probably better to let these people disperse and dig some wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger than to continue the confrontation.
He even wanted to suggest that Jia Yao lead his army to fight to the death with the Beifu Army.
Even if they all died in the battle, it would be better than continuing the fight in such a useless manner.
But when you think about it, you know it’s impossible!
They wanted to fight to the death, but Yunzheng would definitely not fight them head-on!
Yunzheng didn't even go to occupy the Qing border guard, and just huddled beside the Gu.
Did they lead an army to attack Gubian?
"Let's take a step by step!"
Jia Yao rubbed his head with a headache, "Those dead horses, seize the time to make dry food, they can survive for a while! In addition, send someone to deliver a message to Yunzheng, asking him to bring things, and give them more than a hundred Replace a seriously injured person! We can't keep their people in vain and waste food!"
The enemy troops are now completely let go.
After burning their food and grass, they directly placed the seriously injured people there, waiting for them to help them take in the seriously injured people.
They have no burden at all now!
When he was furious, Jia Yao almost killed more than a hundred seriously injured people to vent his anger.
But she finally resisted the urge.
She knew that once he killed the more than 100 seriously injured people, Yun Zheng would definitely launch a crazy revenge.
Nowadays, their troops are seriously insufficient, and Yun Zheng may attack their rear at any time.
By then, there will really be no chickens or dogs left!
She couldn't break the agreement between her and Yunzheng just for the sake of anger.
If getting married now can bring peace, she is really willing to get married!
However, she knew in her heart that in this case, Yun Zheng could not stop fighting to get her.
She's not that important yet!
Yunzheng now only wants Beihuan's land and war horses.
"What can Yunzheng give in exchange?"
He Asu asked with a depressed expression.
Jia Yao said weakly: "As long as it's food, it doesn't cost money anyway..."
Now, there is no point in holding the silver.
With the money, they didn’t know where to buy food.
He Asu was about to accept the order, but Jia Yao suddenly waved his hand, "Forget it, don't want to eat! Yunzheng is a despicable and shameless bastard. If he really exchanged it for food, I'm afraid he would also add some poison..."
"..."
Hearing Jia Yao's words, He Asu's face was severely twitched.
Not to mention, Yun Zheng, a despicable and shameless person, could really do this.
Jia Yao thought silently for a while and then said to He Asu: "Let them trade cattle and sheep for people! Ten fat sheep or one cow for one seriously injured person!"
The livestock is alive after all.
Whether it has been poisoned or not can be seen at a glance.
They are all for eating anyway.
"In exchange for cattle and sheep?"
He Asu frowned and said, "Why don't you order more?"
"Do you think Yunzheng is stupid?"
Jia Yao raised his eyes slightly, "If he asks for too much, he won't change! We can't kill the seriously injured people they left behind, we have to find people to help them treat them, and we have to waste food to feed them. In the end, we will be even more at a loss. …”
The longer these seriously injured people are delayed, the more they will die.
Instead of doing this, it is better to take those people and exchange them for something edible while they still have breath.
It can also alleviate their food shortage problem to some extent.
He Asu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"By the way, the more than two hundred corpses they left behind were also exchanged for two sheep per corpse..."
Ga Yao ordered again.
There is no use leaving these corpses on their land.
If you exchange it for some sheep, it will be somewhat valuable.
……
The next day, Yunzheng received a letter from someone sent by He Asu.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Yun Zheng couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
Ten sheep for one living person.
One dead man wants two sheep.
Damn it, this is Jayao’s idea at first glance!
This woman has secretly learned her business skills!
"My lord, do you want to bargain with them?"
Duguce asked.
"no need."
Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "Let's change it like this! There is no need to drag it on with them. The longer it drags on, the more of our people will die! They are all good men who bleed for me, and I have made their hearts cold!"
After that, Yun Zheng handed over the matter to Yu Shizhong.
Before leaving, Yun Zheng also told Yu Shizhong not to play tricks with the enemy and just exchange them safely.
There is no need to play tricks with Ga Yao on this matter.
When fighting, it doesn’t matter how everyone fights.
When it’s time to be trustworthy, you still have to be trustworthy.
Otherwise, if the wounded fell into the hands of the Beihuan people in the future, they would only die.
He was already happy to be able to exchange for the bodies of these seriously wounded and fallen soldiers.
War is cruel.
Many times, fallen soldiers have no choice but to be buried in a foreign country, or even buried in peace.
As for the seriously injured, whether in ancient or modern times, they are often the targets of abandonment.
It’s not that I want to give up, but I have to give up!
It would be good for everyone to reach such an agreement with Gayao!
Yu Shizhong accepted the order and immediately went to do what Yunzheng told him.
All in all, they had to exchange one thousand and seventy-eight head sheep for the seriously wounded and corpses.
There are certainly not so many sheep in Gubian now.
We can only use cows or old and weak horses to offset some of it.
Yunzheng thought for a moment and then ordered Dugu Ce, "Tell the military doctor Shu to be ready to receive the wounded! In addition, we will fight Beihuan next, and the casualties will not be too small. Let the cities in the rear seize the time to deliver the medicine." come over……"
After explaining Dugu Ce, Yunzheng Yunzheng began to think to himself again.
Whether in modern times or ancient times, wounded soldiers are always an unavoidable problem.
We still have to build some sanatoriums in the rear!
As long as the wounded are stabilized, they will be transferred to the rear for recuperation.
In this way, frontline military doctors can also free up more people to rescue the wounded.
Having made up his mind, Yunzheng immediately took up a pen and wrote a letter to Ye Zi, asking Ye Zi to order people to build sanatoriums in Dingbei and Mayi to prepare for the subsequent war.
