Erdan also said in the military newspaper that they had seized countless amounts of grain, grass and livestock and did not need the Chinese army to transport food to them.
Wang Jian strongly agrees with their approach of using war to support war.
Because Wuhai, where Erdan and the others were located, was located in a plateau area with mountains, rivers, and ravines, and the mountain roads were rugged and difficult to walk.
If we rely on logistics to transport food, it will not only be slow, but also require a lot of manpower and material resources.
Maybe the food lost by the people transporting food on the road has exceeded the food given to Erdan and his army.
"General Su, you should also read the military report sent by the Wei Dao army."
Wang Jian handed the military report to Su Dingfang and said to him: "General Su "Later, you need to send more people to Wuhai to collect the livestock captured by Erdan's army." Su Dingfang glanced at the military report and saw the seizure situation written in the military report at the beginning. , and also understood what Wang Jian meant by this arrangement.
So he nodded happily and said: "No problem, I will make arrangements later."
After saying that, he said with emotion: "I didn't expect Erdan and his group to have such a large army. Even in such complex terrain, they can achieve such huge results."
Since they entered Tuyuhun, the few battles they have experienced have gone very smoothly, and Tuyuhun was defeated by them.
If the fight continues with this momentum, it will probably take less than a month to completely defeat Tuyuhun.
Wang Jian stood up and walked to the march map. After a while, he said with a little worry: "I don't know what the current situation of the war is like when Xi Jun bought their army!"
Among the five armies, Xi Junmai’s army had the longest march and the worst environment.
It is no exaggeration to say that the biggest enemy Xi Junmai and the others encountered was not the Tuyuhun soldiers, but the harsh environment.
Su Dingfang said in a deep voice: "It's been a few days, there should be news soon."
Because the teams were too far apart, it was very slow to convey news to each other, and Su Dingfang felt anxious in his heart. No bottom.
Wang Jian frowned and nodded gently: "There's no point in being anxious. We can only wait for news from the scouts."
"General Su, please give me some help." Write a military report on the current results and send them back to Chang'an."
"It will be four days before the messengers deliver the military reports. I believe your Majesty and the courtiers will be waiting impatiently."

During the frontline battle, the most fearful people, apart from the soldiers' families, were Li Shimin and all the civil and military officials.
They are looking forward to the front line day and night, hoping that good news will come back.
Su Dingfang said happily: "Commander Wang, I will write this and then send someone back to Chang'an."
After a great victory, but his own side did not die, write this This kind of military report is the most interesting.
While Su Dingfang was studying ink, Wang Jian shouted to Wang Tianyi who was guarding the door.
"Tianyi."
Wang Tianyi hurriedly walked in from outside the gate and saluted respectfully: "Commander."
Wang Jian handed him the tiger talisman. , and warned.
"Tianyi, take my tiger talisman and give the order to let the Huotou Army light a fire to cook, and slaughter more cattle to reward the brothers."
"After the brothers have eaten, Leave a group of troops to garrison the city, and the rest of the brothers will go into the house to rest."
"We will rest in Shuhun City today."
The army braved the cold wind and rushed for hundreds of miles. , and everyone basically didn’t sleep much last night, and they were already exhausted.
Although Wang Jian wanted to capture Fuqi City in one go, he would not be fat in one go. The soldiers must have a good rest before they can win the next tough battle.
Wang Tian respectfully took the tiger talisman with both hands and said respectfully.
"Commander, I'm going now."
After saying that, Wang Tian walked out of the city lord's mansion in a big stride.
Just when Su Dingfang started writing, the guards suddenly ran in from outside the gate to report.
"Report to Commander-in-Chief Wang and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Su. Scouts have returned and said they have news to report to you."
Wang Jian said in a deep voice: "Invite them in quickly. . ”
This chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue reading.
He had a hunch in his heart that this should be the person sent by Su Dingfang.
After about ten breaths, the bodyguard walked in with a dusty young scout.
The young scout saluted Wang Jian and Su Dingfang and said: "I have humble duty to pay my respects to Commander-in-Chief Wang, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Su, and General Xi Junmai, the general manager of the march on Jishi Road, has sent back a military report."
After speaking, he took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms and handed the paper to Wang Jian's hand.
"Finally there is news about Xi Jun's purchase!"
Wang Jian said excitedly, and then opened the military newspaper and read it.
"Great! Xi Jun bought them and it was a big win!"
Su Dingfang was full of curiosity and quickly went over to take a look. His face also showed joy.
"Captured the two cities of Dachaidan and Golmud, as well as 69 large and small tribes, and annihilated the enemy."
"Seized livestock heads, seized 50,000 stones of grain and grass, and captured 1,162 young women. People, a large amount of gold and silver treasures were seized..."
"8 people died, 39 were seriously injured, and 245 were slightly injured."
After Su Dingfang finished reading, he couldn't help but wave. A fist pump.
Several armies achieved great victories while their own losses were very small. For the two commanders, this was a great achievement.
Although the army that Xi Jun bought him from appearedThere were casualties, but compared with the significant results achieved, these casualties were nothing.
In a war, no one will die.
They have been worried for a few days, and now they can finally put their minds at ease.
Wang Jian saw the scout's face full of exhaustion, so he said to the soldier: "Take this brother down for a good meal, and then arrange a room with a bed."
"Follow the order."
After the guard saluted with admiration, he immediately led the scout down.
Wang Jian walked to the march map and found the locations of the two cities of Dachaidan and Golmud.
Su Dingfang also walked over at this time. He looked in the direction of Wang Jian's finger and suddenly said.
"Xi Junmai captured two large cities in the north of Tuyuhun. There is no city to resist them if they go eastward for hundreds of miles. They can directly attack Fuqi City, the imperial city of Tuyuhun!"
"And Xi Jun's purchase of them also completely cut off the northward escape route of Tuyuhun's army. Now we are just waiting to catch the turtle in the jar."
After hearing Su Dingfang's analysis, Wang Jian nodded happily. < /p>
"Ask him to clear out all the tribes hundreds of miles around Dachaidan and Golmud, and wait until several of our armies approach Fuqi City before sending his army south."
"At the same time Write a letter to the court and ask the court to send someone to receive Xi Jun to buy the spoils they captured."
Although there are people in the army who are responsible for handling the spoils, they have seized too many things this time, so they have too many people. Totally not enough.
The people dispatched this time were all elites, and the number of personnel was small. It was impossible to leave too many people to help deal with it.
Su Dingfang said excitedly: "Okay, I will write it in the military newspaper together later."
...
As night fell, Shuhun City was shrouded In the dark night.
The city lord’s mansion is still brightly lit with candles.
The scouts who spread around Fuqi City to inquire for information are back, and they are reporting the information to Wang Jian and Su Dingfang.
"The king of Daning, Murong Shun, has led 20,000 fine cavalry into Dafeichuan City, and they have also recruited nearly 80,000 people from the surrounding areas to serve as troops."
"Added There were originally 50,000 infantry in Dafeichuan City, and Daning King Murong Shun was in charge of nearly 150,000 troops!"
"The purpose of this battle is to deal with General Xue Rengui's attack. Department. ”
