Chapter 284 Who in the World Doesn’t Know Yan
After the meeting, the generals dispersed to rest, and Shen Changgong went to see Fairy Mei Yan.
Fairy Meiyan was very happy that he came to see her, but his attitude during the day made her unhappy.
After coaxing him for a while, the fairy finally smiled and rewarded the stinky brother with a sweet kiss.
The next day, Nie Bei recruited the captives. Most of the captives were civilians from all over the place. They had no ideas and just did whatever the commander told them to do. In addition, they were indeed scared of the Yan army, so they were particularly obedient at this time.
Then they went to clean up the battlefield and collect the corpses.
According to statistics, the Yan army lost more than 50,000 people in the entire desert battle. The Kun army, as the defeated party and with new recruits, suffered heavy casualties, losing a total of 240,000 people, and finally about 160,000 people were captured.
Nie Chen waved his hand and directly ordered all the unorganized prisoners to be filled into the various legions. He also issued a clear order to the generals of each legion to strictly monitor and eliminate bullying incidents, and let the Kun Army prisoners integrate into the Yan Army as soon as possible. These are all future new forces.
In fact, no matter whether the prisoners are willing or not, during the battle, the entire corps will press forward, and they will have no choice but to move forward under the torrent. The enemy will force them to fight desperately, and if they dare to run, there will be a supervisory team supervising them.
The Yan army rested in the desert, took over three surrounding cities, and brought back a lot of supplies.
Shen Changgong treated Nie Bei the same way he treated Yu Huatian, giving him military power and status, trusting people when he employed them, and not employing people if he doubted them.
He has a pretty good eye for people, and he likes those who have deep hatred and deep vengeance, come from common families, and are capable. Only in this way can he give them what they want, and they will be loyal to him.
On the contrary, those nobles already have everything, and they will not be very loyal even if they are given these. Yu Huatian is an exception, and he is not very well received in Kun Kingdom.
For someone like Han Xuan, even if he was captured alive, Shen Changgong would still chop him to pieces because he would be useless.
Nie Bei's troops are temporarily called the New Army and have not yet been given a number. The purpose is to remind Nie Bei that he must make more achievements in order to get a number and become a regular central army corps, otherwise he will inevitably be split up and annexed.
This is the only way to arouse his competitive spirit.
……
On the other side, the court of Kun State finally received the results of the battle in the desert of Ziyang County.
Inside the majestic hall, Queen Tang Xinyi sat on the dragon throne, listening with a headache to the general's report on the battle situation below.
"Your Majesty, the Desert War lasted a total of seven days. During the first two days, the Yan bandits' Zhennan Army cavalry attacked our local troops, preventing them from digging trenches.
Therefore, Nie Bei adopted the tactics of setting up camps widely, distributing battlefields, and stretching the battle line to engage in large-scale legion battles and melees with the enemy.
After two days of fighting, our camps were captured one after another.
Late at night, Nie Bei transferred the armies from the east and west cities into the central army, luring the Yan bandit Weihu Army and the rebel Yuhua Tiantianyu Army into the east and west cities. Taking advantage of the weak defense of Shen Changgong's troops, he launched a fierce attack on the central army of the bandit chief Shen Changgong, intending to capture Shen Changgong alive.
But... we failed. Shen Changgong blocked our army, the Yan army from the east and west surrounded us, and the Zhennan army attacked us from behind. Our army was defeated and completely lost."
After hearing this, Tang Xinyi's body trembled and she looked at him with bitter eyes.
The ministers discussed the matter, and the Prime Minister sighed,
"This battle is not the best, it's just as expected. The difference in combat effectiveness and weaponry between the two sides is too great.
Nie Bei also tried his best. He was able to arrange such tactics and delay the Yan army for these days. He also killed and injured quite a few people. It can be considered acceptable. "
The general snorted coldly and said,
"There were many casualties, more than 50,000 Yan soldiers were killed or wounded, but he was captured alive by the Yan army, along with all 160,000 soldiers.
After he was captured, he was persuaded to surrender by Shen Changgong. Now he is the new commander of the Yan army, and he has defected with his troops.
Now the number of Yan troops has not only not decreased, but has increased to 600,000.
Among these 600,000 people, 300,000 are Kun people!
oops! "
The general made a bitter face and sighed heavily.
What the hell is this?
How come during the war, we ended up delivering supplies and troops to the Yan army?
The more we fight, the fewer troops we have, but the more troops the Yan army has, the more troops we have?
Tang Xinyi looked at the general and said in disbelief,
"Nie Bei defected to the enemy? He actually defected to the enemy?"
"Yes, my lady, this...what should we do?"
The general's face was wrinkled like a bitter gourd.
"This...was this premeditated, or did he surrender after being captured to save his life?"
At this time, a powerful person came out and said anxiously,
"Oh, my lady, no matter what, Nie Bei shouldn't defect to the enemy country and serve them.
"It's understandable that he was defeated on the battlefield and captured because he couldn't defeat the enemy. We don't ask him to die for his country, but he should at least have some integrity and not serve the enemy country."
Another powerful man came out and knew that
"Yes, Your Majesty, I believe Nie Bei planned this all along. His family is in Shengjing. Please issue an order to arrest all his family members and execute them all."
The Queen sighed and said,
"Now that things have come to this, what's the point of killing his family? It will only further arouse his hatred and make him work for the Yan army without any scruples. It would be better to capture his family first and then write to him secretly.
We told him that we treated his family well and only asked him to lead our Kun soldiers to attack the Yan army when the two armies were fighting.
In this way, he is still a meritorious official of our Dakun."
The first nobleman immediately said,
"Nie Bei defected to the enemy. If we don't make an example of him as a warning to others, won't other generals be free to defect to the enemy in the future?
Anyway, the imperial court would not kill their families, so they were even more unscrupulous.
Your Majesty, in troubled times, severe punishments must be used and you must never be too soft-hearted.
We must use thundering measures to let them see our court's determination to never tolerate evil!
Your move may seem wise, but it actually leaves behind a huge hidden danger!"
After hearing what he said, Tang Xinyi was also undecided.
After all, she is a woman. Although she is smart, she lacks courage. She is good at assisting in government affairs, but not at being a decision maker.
At this critical moment, every decision she makes is related to the survival of Kun Kingdom.
At this moment, a soldier came running in, knelt down and said,
"Your Majesty, the Nie family has been deserted since some time ago. All the people inside are gone."
"What? Not here anymore?"
All the civil and military officials in the court were shocked.
"Nie Bei had this planned long ago."
"Yeah, he's far away in the desert. How could he have moved his family so quickly?"
"It must have been planned long ago. They moved ahead and then surrendered."
"He had already planned for his future."
Tang Xinyi leaned against the dragon throne in despair, looking at the seemingly loyal civil and military officials in the court, and murmured,
"Who in the world doesn't understand Yan..."
