After a few important things were dealt with, Li Chao fell asleep.
As soon as I relaxed, I slept in the dark, and when I woke up, it was already dawn.
When he opened his eyes, Li Xiuning was half-leaning and half-lying.
She hugged Li Chao on her lap to make him sleep more comfortably.
"No wonder I said that I slept so comfortably, it turned out that there was a human meat pillow with a fragrance."
Li Chao sat up with a smile.
"You're so tired."
Li Xiuning said distressedly.
At dawn, Zhaozhuang was noisy again, and the north wind was mixed with the smell of blood and gunsmoke.
Lifting the tent, Li Chao saw that the soldiers were busy.
Some people are setting up firewood piles, some people are digging pits.
One east and one west, there are corpses.
To the east, there are the corpses of the Tang army dead, and to the west, there are the corpses of the Goguryeo people.
To the north, there is a slaughterhouse, where dead and injured horses are slaughtered and divided.
More than 60,000 Tang troops, plus more than 20,000 prisoners, consumed a lot of food every day, and there was no waste on the battlefield.
"I have commanded that the identity of each fallen soldier be carefully checked and their relics collected."
Li Xiuning said.
Li Chao's mood was a little heavy.
One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither.
The victory in this battle was a very heavy price paid by the Tang army.
"Actually, you don't have to be too sad, how can there be immortals in war."
"More than 20,000 people died in battle," Li Chao sighed.
"This result is already very unbelievable, you brought 30,000 people, and 20,000 farmers who were volunteers, but you ended up annihilating 50,000 Goguryeo elite cavalry, no matter how you put it, it is incomparable."
If Li Chao brought normal government soldiers, 35,000 people would fight 50,000, and the casualties would be at least half.
"More than 20,000 lives fell here because of an order."
The wind was whistling, and Li Chao slowly walked on the blood-stained battlefield.
Everywhere were broken spears, bows and arrows stuck in the ground.
There are soldiers cleaning the battlefield, and these broken and abandoned weapons will be collected and recycled.
Many soldiers came back from chopping firewood, piling up firewood.
They are preparing for the cremation of the fallen soldiers.
It is impossible to bring back the bodies of so many war dead and bury their bones elsewhere, so it is better to burn them and send their ashes home so that their souls can return to their hometowns.
"Wipe them clean, change them into clean clothes, and we will hold a ceremony for them to give them their last ride.
Let their comrades-in-arms be comrades-in-arms, and carry the pyre for them. ” "After their belongings are sorted out, they will be returned to their relatives at that time."
The wind was tight, and the sky was gloomy early in the morning.
"It's going to rain."
Li Xiuning said.
"No, God is weeping for those martyrs."
Li Chao decided to keep one relic of each of the war dead, and then build a monument here, build a cemetery, and engrave their names here for future generations to remember.
He also awarded a martyr's medal to all the war dead, and their widows and orphans could hold this medal and receive a monthly payment of food, which did not need to be paid by the imperial court.
The imperial court has its own pension, and Li Chao is ready to set up a fund, which will be initiated by Li Ji, and then use the money raised to distribute the money.
Even every soldier who survives will also get a commemorative medal for the Battle of Zhaozhuang.
And those soldiers with outstanding performance, Li Chao will also ask the court for credit for them.
"Actually, I feel most sorry for those volunteers, they followed me, and half of them died in the first battle."
Li Xiuning also sighed.
Recruits are always the most vulnerable to death and injury, but those who can survive from the battlefield will grow up quickly.

"I plan to write a recital to the imperial court, these volunteers, as long as they are willing to join the government soldiers, under the age of thirty, the imperial court can select them into the government army."
After walking for a while, Li Chao came to the other side.
There were more than 10,000 Goguryeo corpses piled up there.
"Cut off their heads, and build a Beijing temple in front of the martyrs' monument."
Cut off the heads and dirt and stones to build a Jingguan, as for the corpses, dig a big pit and bury them, if it weren't for the fear of causing the plague, Li Chao would have prepared to directly let them riot into the wilderness.
The Goguryeo captives were driven to dig pits, and the Tang army next to them whipped and kicked from time to time, and Li Chao was unmoved when he saw it.
Not worthy of sympathy.
"Go to the hospital."
The field hospital was built in the dilapidated Zhaozhuang, and the entire Zhuangzi is now a large hospital.
There were too many wounded soldiers.
The houses of each family have now become wards.
Once inside, the smell of blood is even stronger.
At the same time, there is a vinegar smell, which is steamed vinegar disinfection.
There are many wounded soldiers, but fortunately, there is no chaos.
According to the set of rules for the wounded barracks formulated by Li Chao, the rescue is very organized, and the serious and minor injuries are divided into several levels, and there is a principle of priority rescue.
The medical staff in the ward are also very clean and guarded.
"From last night to now, more than 800 wounded have died."
The wounded soldiers did not die at the time, but after being carried down, it was still difficult to treat.
The injury was so severe that it didn't survive the night.
But think about it, last night was the most difficult night, and there is basically hope for those who can survive last night.
The doctor from the field hospital came to salute, and he barely closed his eyes all night, and his white robe became a red robe.
"No need to be polite, everything is fine" The old medic shook his head.
"More than 800 people were not rescued at night, and more than 300 limbs were amputated, and they will always be disabled in the future."
Li Chao gritted his teeth, "The imperial court will guarantee their future lives." ” "What's wrong with General Wei Chi?"
"I haven't woken up yet, but it's relatively stable."
Li Chao nodded.
Entering Yu Chi Gong's hospital room, Yu Chi Baolin was sitting in front of the bed with her arms hanging and looking at his father.
"Teacher."
"How's your dad?"
"The doctor said there was too much blood loss."
Li Chao sat down, iron-boned, tower-like tough guy, but at this time he was completely wrapped like a mummy.
White gauze, still blood-red.
Holding Lao Hei's rough hands, Li Chao sighed in his heart.
Lao Hei is also a general of the imperial court, and he is also the governor of the right army, and he is in charge of Hebei.
The dignified general, in this battle, was like a vanguard captain, rushing left and right.
If it weren't for Wei Chigong, they would not have eaten the 50,000 Liao army.
Especially at the last moment, in order to stop the enemy, Wei Chigong bravely rushed 26,000 Goguryeo cavalry with 500 wounded soldiers.
Wei Chigong's hand suddenly moved a few times.
"Old Black" Under Wei Chigong's tightly closed eyelids, his eyeballs were rolling.
"Kill Kill" "With Wei Chi Gong here, Liao Gou doesn't want to escape" Li Chao smiled and said in Wei Chigong's ear, "Lao Hei, we won, Liaogou was wiped out by us, Quangai Suwen was also captured alive, and Lao Tzu also cut off one of his arms." ” Wei Chigong opened his eyes.
"Li Xiang."
"I'm here, we won."
After a while, Wei Chigong seemed to have regained his memory.
"We really won, Izumi Gai Suwen didn't run away from that dog" "No, not only did Quan Gai Suwen run away, but not a single Liao dog ran away.
This is your credit, and you are the first to fight this battle.

Datang remembers your merits, and the people will also remember your merits. ” Yu Chigong laughed, laughed a few times, and turned into a scream again.
There are too many wounds on his body, and he laughs too happily, and he is involved in the wound.
"Oh, how many openings have these damn Liao dogs opened for Lao Tzu."
"Don't worry, you have thick black skin and thick meat, and in a few days, you will be like a bear again."
"Did you talk like that" Yu Chi glanced at Li Chao.
Li Chao patted Lao Hei's hand, "You can rest assured, the war is over, we won." ” "Li Xiang, since we have won, then we have to strike while the iron is hot, and simply take Liaoxi in one fell swoop, we can't stop."
Wei Chi said hurriedly.
Yu Chi Baolin brought a bowl of water on the side, "Dad, these Xiangguo you said have already thought of it, and the day after tomorrow, we will march into Liaoxi and restore Liao in one fell swoop." ” "Oh, the day after tomorrow, then Lao Tzu will have to go too."
"You'd better stay and raise."
"No, Lao Tzu must go, even if you carry it, you also have to carry Lao Tzu to Liaoxi.
If you don't stand at the head of Liucheng City and watch the Tang Dynasty flag fluttering, how can Lao Tzu be willing to rest. ” "Okay, okay, you can go if you say go, okay, you're the boss of the wounded soldiers."
Li Chao said helplessly.
Coming out of Wei Chigong's ward, Li Chao went to other wards and went around again, comforted the wounded soldiers, and told them that they didn't have to worry about the future.
"Even if you have no legs and no feet, the court will never forget your contribution to the Tang Dynasty, and your contribution cannot be destroyed."
When Li Chao announced to the surviving volunteers that he would transfer them to the government soldiers, these peasant children who were not from good backgrounds and could not normally be selected into the government soldiers were all boiling.
After returning to the tent.
Li Chao began to watch the various reports sent by the officers, which were summaries of various aspects after the war.
After reading these reports, Li Chao was still in a heavy mood.
Picking up the pen, Li Chao began to write a report to the emperor.
"The minister will lead the army out of the customs and enter Liao in three days, and he will not return to Liaoxi."
After writing the chapter, Li Chao went to find his father.
Daddy added a few more scars, but they weren't serious.
When Li Chao found him, he was stewing horse meat to eat.
Fill half a pot of water in a pot, then add large pieces of horse meat, bring to a boil over high heat, and simmer.
There are not too many condiments, but they are also fragrant for miles.
Daddy sat there with a group of old volunteers eating meat.
Li Chao walked over and directly found an empty place to sit down.
"The day after tomorrow, I will go to Liaoxi, and I plan to let the volunteers rest in Linyu Pass first." "."
Daddy grabbed a large piece of horse meat, and his cheeks were bulging.
"The battle of the river, no our volunteers can win the battle of Zhaozhuang, without our volunteers, how can you win, now you have soldiers in your hands, don't leave us aside Since we went on the expedition, half of the battle has been killed, now do you want to take us to play by yourself" Dad seemed to have suddenly returned to the way he was in the army, spraying at Li Chao while eating meat, and saliva sprayed on Li Chao's face.
Li Chao wiped the saliva on his face and thought about it, "What Dad taught me is to go together the day after tomorrow." t1706231537:
