War casualties!


    This is an important criterion for judging whether the war is perfect or not.


    The western regions are surrounded by heavy mountains and covered with snow all year round. Under such a harsh environment, a number of people will die.


    Moreover, the duel between hundreds of thousands of armies will sharply reduce the number of soldiers in Datang.


    This is also the reason why Tang Hao proposed 50000 soldiers to fight in the western regions, while the king of Tang insisted on equipping 100000 soldiers and 50000 feet.


    Even before the expedition, the king of Tang felt that the 50000 feet were not enough to ensure the food and drink supply of the army.


    After all, the wasteland is not comparable to the grassland. You can live for a few days by abducting several tribes and slaughtering some cattle and sheep.


    Therefore, when sun Wuji raised this question, the smile on the king''s face also stiffened.


    The growth of teenagers needs time accumulation. These are the only soldiers in the Tang Dynasty.


    How many soldiers Tang Hao can bring back is directly related to the overall situation in the future, whether he can cultivate students and raise interest or start another expedition.


    Many people stopped their strange words and frowned one by one.


    "100000 against 100000, I''m afraid the casualties are not a small number."


    "I''m not sure. The Tang expedition must have consumed the old and weak soldiers. The strong soldiers attacked and attacked quickly, which led to the hasty surrender of the Western Turks. In my opinion, the loss of soldiers should be more than 50000 this time."


    "Fifty thousand is conservative, but I still remember when we fought in the East Turks, General Li, the God of the army of the Tang Dynasty, took command. We lost more than fifty thousand in the Tang Dynasty!"


    The whisper was buzzing, and the joy was diluted a lot.


    After all, behind the casualties in this war are broken families.


    Father-in-law Rong cleared his voice, raised his arm again, looked away from the station newspaper just now, and took out another scroll after the war report.


    Sima''s handwriting clearly reflected in his eyes.


    Just glancing at him, Grandpa Rong was already excited and was about to jump up.


    Strong pressure on the heart that beat violently and was about to squeeze out of the chest, and the sharp and excited voice shook through the front of the hall.


    "On the third day of March, xinlikhan led 4000 tribal heroes to see Tang Hao off with 20 boxes of gold, silver, jewelry and rare treasures."


    "So far, all the Western Turkic tribes have surrendered."


    "More than 1300 people were killed by cold during the attack of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. 3582 people were killed during the attack on the city. 876 people were critically ill due to acclimatization on the way back, and a total of more than 5500 people are expected to be injured."


    More than 5500 people?


    This is far less than the estimated number, which really makes many people stunned on the spot.


    Everyone was stunned to listen to this number. For a moment, they didn''t know what to say.


    Hundreds of thousands of people rushed thousands of miles to fight against hundreds of thousands of people.


    Such a big war has only injured more than 5000 people?


    With a touch of doubt on his stunned face, the king of Tang waved to father-in-law Rong.


    "Again, again."


    "Read it clearly again!"


    Father-in-law Rong''s voice sounded again, and everyone understood.


    "What''s the matter? Tang Hao can control the number of casualties so few? It''s a miracle in the war!"


    Among the ministers, someone screamed inconceivably.


    Gao Shilian also stroked his beard and stood out.


    "It''s really incredible! It''s hard to imagine how to achieve this loss in a battlefield with more than 200000 casualties!"


    As soon as the voice fell, Li Jing took over the words with a smile.


    "Ashamed, ashamed."


    "I''m falsely known as the army God of the Tang Dynasty. When I was also facing the East Turkic army, I still suffered more than half of the casualties, but I didn''t expect that this boy was better than the blue and achieved such small casualties."


    His fingers twisted his beard under his forehead, and Li Jing''s mind spun rapidly.


    "If Weichen''s guess is good, it must be Tang Hao who sent the subdued soldiers to the front and became the vanguard."


    "He can imagine the strategy of attacking Turkic soldiers with Turkic soldiers."


    After Li Jing''s explanation, many people guessed the reason and couldn''t help praising it.


    "Looking at the whole Tang Dynasty, I''m afraid only people like Tang Hao can come up with this move!"


    "This boy is really bold. He has some legacy of Cao Cao. He doesn''t doubt the use of people and doesn''t need to doubt people. He dares to take such a risk!"


    After listening to Li Jing''s description, Gao Shilian smiled and patted Li Jing on the shoulder.


    "Congratulations, Duke Wei. It''s really enviable to have such a powerful son-in-law."


    Li Jing, who was not good at boasting and farting, looked at Gao Shilian with a smile and said.


    "Duke Shen is really exaggerating."


    "But if you want to say it, you should congratulate your majesty. The happy Dragon son-in-law picked out this pearl among all sentient beings."


    "In my opinion, my minister is only contaminated with your Majesty''s blessing."


    Even Li Jing, who had never flattered, spoke beautiful words at this time, which only made the surprised king of Tang happy again and again.


    "Unexpectedly, Duke Wei is also a man who flatters his horse smoothly. Ha ha."


    "But I love to hear that!"
