Jiang Bao asked: "After returning to camp, our army will be rebuilt, right?"
"Of course," let alone the fact that the Seventh Army still has more than 20,000 soldiers, even if it is beaten to the death of not a single soldier left, it will still be rebuilt.
After all, the Seventh Army's designation has lasted for hundreds of years, and it is impossible to rebuild it. its cancellation, Shangguan Xiu said with a smile: "After returning to camp, I will send a letter to the court and ask the court to send troops to make up for the lost troops of your department."
"However, even if the establishment is fully replenished, the army will still be full of new recruits, and its combat effectiveness will definitely be far worse than before," Jiang Bao said worriedly.
The more Shangguan Xiu listened, the more something was wrong.
Jiang Bao was not a whiner.
He smiled and asked, "Ah Bao, what on earth do you want to say?"
Jiang Bao grinned and said: "Brother Xiu, our army is currently short of major generals.
As the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.
Brother Xiu, I want to borrow one from you."
Oh, we finally got to the point.
Shangguan Xiu finally understood.
Jiang Bao came over and told him a lot.
In the final analysis, he came to ask for people from him.
He smiled and asked: "A Bao, you Who do you want to borrow?"
"I think Liu Biao is good.
In the battle of Qingcheng, he and Wang Xu also cooperated very well.
Brother Xiu, please lend him to me," Jiang Bao scratched his head and said, Hey, you are a lion.
Liu Biao is a spiritual cultivator in the Nirvana realm.
Among all the soldiers of the Feng Army, there are not many top spiritual cultivators with such cultivation.
Liu Biao is alone on the battlefield.
Its combat effectiveness is comparable to that of one or two corps.
"Ah Bao, your appetite is quite big," "Brother Xiu, me" "Are you sure it's a loan?"
Shangguan Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked, Jiang Bao said shamelessly: "If Brother Xiu is willing to keep Liu Biao in our Seventh Army, that would be the best."
Shangguan Xiu looked up and smiled, without thinking too much, and said in a brisk tone: "That's right."
Hearing this, Jiang Bao was overjoyed and almost jumped out of the carriage.
He kept saying, "Thank you, Brother Xiu.
Thank you, Brother Xiu."
Shangguanxiu was amused by his appearance, waved his hand and said, "I'm tired too.
If you have nothing else to do, go and do your work."
"Yes, Brother Xiu, I'm resigning," Jiang Bao happily jumped out of the carriage and ran away.
Even after the Battle of Qingcheng, no credit was given to him.
As long as Liu Biao came, he would willingly, Having such a fierce general in the army can raise the combat effectiveness of the Seventh Army to a higher level.
No matter which army it faces head-on in the future, the Seventh Army will not be timid.
Liu Biao had no objection or dissatisfaction with joining the Seventh Army.
These days, he fought side by side with the soldiers of the Seventh Army and developed a certain affection, especially with Wang Xu.
The two hit it off and were almost inseparable in the army. , Two days later, Shangguan Xiu and the Seventh Army arrived at the Feng Army Camp.
The commander of the Feng Army, Wei Chizhen, led all the generals of the battalion out of the camp gate to welcome Shangguan Xiu, Jiang Bao and others into the Chinese military tent.
They had already seen the battle report of the Battle of Qingcheng.
The Feng Army generals all admired Shangguanxiu's leadership from the bottom of their hearts.
Even Yuchizhen, who was cold-tempered and arrogant, had to admit that Shangguanxiu was the leader.
The battle of Qingcheng was fought beautifully and elegantly.
It was like using one legion to swallow up three legions of Ningnan Army in succession.
On that day, a celebration banquet was arranged in the Fengjun camp to welcome Shangguan Xiu and others and celebrate their triumphant return.
During the dinner, Shangguan Xiu picked up the wine cup.

Seeing this, everyone stopped talking and joking, and all raised the wine cup with both hands.
Shangguan Xiu looked around at the people present and said: "In this battle, our army only achieved an insignificant victory.
We are still far away from winning the entire national war.
I don't think there is anything worth celebrating now,"
After hearing his words, the excitement of everyone present dropped sharply, and people lowered their heads subconsciously.
He continued: "In this battle, our army lost more than 70,000 soldiers.
These heroes and martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country deserve to be paid tribute by us living people.
This glass of wine pays tribute to the spirits of the heroes and martyrs in heaven."
While speaking, Shangguanxiu stood up and left the table, knelt down on the ground beside him, and slowly sprinkled the wine in the wine cup on the ground.
Shangguan Xiu even bowed down with great salute, but the other generals dared to neglect him.
People stood up one after another, knelt down on one knee, and said in unison: "Here's to the heroes of our army."
After that, people poured the wine in their glasses on the ground.
After everyone sat down again, Xiao Guan, the commander of the Eighth Army, said: "Your Highness can remember the brothers who died in battle, and the brothers will die without regrets."
"Yes, the two armies are fighting, and casualties are inevitable.
Your Highness, please express your condolences," the generals said in unison, cupping their hands.
Shangguan Xiu waved to everyone, turned his eyes, looked at Yuchi Zhen, and asked, "I wonder what General Yuchi is planning next," Yuchizhen frowned and did not reply immediately.
The Ningnan Central Army has five legions in Mingshui County.
One of them has been eliminated, but there are still four legions.
In addition to the miscellaneous local armies, the total strength is still around 500,000.
In comparison, Feng The army's strength is still at a disadvantage; He agreed very much with what Shangguan Xiu said just now.
The victory in the Battle of Qingcheng was indeed exciting, but it did not fundamentally reverse the situation in Mingshui County, let alone shake the situation of the entire national war.
Of course, without Qingcheng, After the victory in the Battle of Chengdu, Ningnan's Fifth Army still exists.
With another 200,000 new troops, Ningnan's total force in Mingshui County will reach a terrifying 800,000.
At that time, Ningnan's army will Our side has an overwhelming advantage.
Yuchi Zhen pondered for a while and then said: "Currently, the Ningnan Army is huddled within the solid defense system of Qianlong City.
With the strength of our army, it is really difficult to capture it.
In the opinion of the general, our army should continue to Continue to confront the Ningnan Army," "How long will the confrontation last?"
"Confrontation until the countermeasure is successful," "Countermeasures," "The reason why Qianlong City is impregnable is, firstly, because of the large number of Ningnan troops.
Secondly, and the most critical point, Liao Ye is good at guarding it."
Yuchi Zhenzhen said: "The last general has secretly sent a large number of spies to sneak into Tianjing secretly to spread the news that Liao Ye wants to surrender to our country."
"People in Ningnan will believe it," "As long as the eldest grandson Bohao believes in it, Liao Ye belongs to the eldest grandson Boyuan's lineage.
For the eldest grandson Bohao, it is extremely disadvantageous for the eldest grandson Boyuan to have Liao Ye, a confidant with a lot of troops.
He is waiting to catch Liao Ye.
I can’t wait for the handle Here, once there are rumors that Liao Ye is going to surrender to our country, Changsun Bohao will definitely not miss this opportunity and will definitely take advantage of it.
As long as the Ningnan court is willing to change generals on the spot, our army will have won half of this battle. ," Shangguan Xiu scoffed and said: "Liao Ye is the right general of Ningnan.
You can defeat him with just a few rumors."
Yuchi Zhen smiled and said: "It is indeed impossible to bring down Liao Ye based on rumors alone, but at least it creates an opportunity for eldest son Bohao to create a person who can transfer Liao Ye back to the capital and send him to the capital.
When my confidant goes to Qianlong City to take over the military power, the general will still say that as long as the Ningnan court changes generals on the battlefield, our army will be much easier to fight in this battle."
Shangguan Xiu rubbed his chin and asked, "How long does General Yuchi think it will take for your counterintuitive plan to succeed?"
"I can't say for sure.
It may take a month or two, or it may take half a year or more," "For such a long time, our army has been stationed in Mingshui County and waited," "Your Highness, this is the safest way," the general said.
"It's really surprising that just one Liao Ye frightened General Yuchi to stop moving forward."
"Your Highness, although Liao Ye is not a brave general who is accustomed to fighting, he can definitely be called a cunning and cunning guard.
Looking at Liao Ye's life, he has fought in battles all his life and has never lost a battle when he was on the defensive.
This time Human kindness has reached its extreme.”

Before Yuchi could finish his words, Shangguan Xiu raised his hand and interrupted what he was about to say.
He looked around at the generals present and said loudly: "Generals, please go back and prepare.
In three days, our army will attack the city.
This time In the battle, our army must penetrate Qianlong City, annihilate the main enemy force, and completely capture Mingshui County."
Yuchi really had his concerns, but Shangguanxiu also had his own concerns.
Feng State's treasury is almost empty.
How can it sustain the long-term consumption of nearly two million troops?
The longer the war drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for Feng State, and there is even the possibility of the entire army collapsing.
On the contrary, for Ning, On the contrary, the south becomes more and more advantageous.
Ningnan is the party that was attacked by surprise, and the country is unprepared.
If the Feng Army cannot quickly establish an absolute advantage in this situation, then when Ningnan calms down, this battle will not be able to continue.
Hit, From the performance point of view, the third war was a long-planned proactive attack by Feng State.
The troops were divided into three groups and marched into Ningnan together, suppressing Ningnan and fighting.
In fact, the Feng Army was like standing on the top of a volcano.
On the mountain pass, it must firmly suppress the volcano, otherwise, once the volcano erupts, Feng Jun will die without a place to bury him.
Ningnan's crisis is on the surface, while Fengjun's crisis is deeper below the surface.
This battle is a life and death battle, whether it is against Ningnan or Fengguo, Yuchi can really afford it, but Shangguan Xiu can't.
To be precise, Feng State can't afford it.
If Feng State's national strength can really support the Feng Army, Shangguan Xiu will be willing to fight this war for a long time.
Adopt Yuchizhen's tactics and slowly wear out the Ningnan people.
After hearing Shangguan Xiu's words, all the generals present stood up, stepped in and saluted, and said, "I will obey your orders."
The Battle of Qingcheng gave Shangguan Xiu a higher prestige in the army.
Under such circumstances, even if Shangguan Xiu led them to jump into the fire pit, people would rush forward with him without hesitation.
Looking at Shangguan Xiu and then at the high-spirited generals, Yuchi frowned and remained silent.
In his opinion, it was really a bad idea to attack Qianlong City, which was already impregnably defended.
Not to mention that we might not be able to attack Qianlong City with less and more.
Even if we finally captured it, our own I don’t know how many soldiers were killed in the battle.
How can the remaining troops continue to advance towards the hinterland of Ningnan?
As far as the Feng Kingdom's grand strategy is concerned, this is a war that cannot be considered won regardless of whether one side loses or wins.
If this is the case, then why should we fight like this?
Yuchi shook his head secretly.
His Highness was too impatient.
The generals barely ate or drank at this celebration banquet, so they ended it hastily.
That night, late at night, Shangguan Xiu was already lying on the bed.
Wu Yufei came in to report that Yuchi really asked to see him.
Without asking, Shangguan Xiu could guess Yuchi Zhen's purpose for coming to see him.
He said, "It's too late today.
Let him come to see me again tomorrow morning."
Before Wu Yufei could reply, Yuchi Zhen's anxious voice came from outside the sleeping tent: "Your Highness, there will be an urgent military intelligence report."
Shangguanxiu rubbed his forehead, raised his head and said, "General Yuchi, please come in and talk
