Time had reached noon, and the golden sunlight was sprinkled from the sky, completely dissipating the dense fog that had enveloped the river surface earlier.

Busy soldiers walked back and forth on the riverbank, as auxiliary troops dragged corpses and placed them to the side for classification and stacking.

The corpses of the Zhou People would be collected and burned, their remains eventually buried in pits.

As for the corpses belonging to the Chu people, they would be incinerated separately according to their identity tags and their ashes and belongings sent back to their hometowns.

Barrels of water were scooped up from the river by soldiers and then poured onto the pier planks for a simple wash and rinse.

More soldiers began to line up in an orderly manner, then broke into separate camp units, following their respective officers along the official road behind the pier, quickly heading towards various towns and cities.

Some people stayed behind and began gathering Zhao People soldiers and civilian workers as captives, ordering them under strict surveillance and management.

Of course.

More people still remained on the ships, following the flagship, continuing upstream on the Han River, swiftly pushing deeper into Hanzhong Prefecture.

“Chief Steward, the results of the battle’s gains and losses have been accounted for,”

On the cold river surface, a man wearing a green robe and dressed as a high-ranking civil official hastily came aboard the flagship, greeted Qingyunzi with a salute, and reported: “After checking, we have broken through the enemy ranks of about 120,000, among which there are 12,000 armored Zhou soldiers, and about 110,000 civilian workers.

In this battle, our army killed about 2,000 Zhou soldiers, captured 8,000, and 2,000 more Zhou soldiers escaped. About 5,000 Zhou civilian workers were killed, over 70,000 captured, and about 30,000 escaped.

The captives have been placed under custody, and soldiers have been sent to pursue the fleeing enemy. After capturing nearby towns and cities, these fugitives can be easily eliminated.

In addition, our army’s casualties in this battle were about 700 people, among which more than 300 were killed, about 200 were seriously injured, and more than 200 were slightly injured.

The dead have been taken care of, and army doctors have been treating the wounded in accordance with regulations.

Moreover, the one million silver taels brought by the Zhou People for the first trade have been confiscated from the pier and put into sealed storage.”

Through more than twenty years of continuous growth, the Chu Army had already established many standardized regulations.

Only a day after the battle, basic statistics on gains and losses had been quickly compiled by military officials, a process that showed great efficiency.

“Hmm.”

After listening to the report from the official, Qingyunzi responded with a nod and waved his hand: “Since there are no issues, proceed according to the usual practices.”

“Yes.”

The green-robed official behind him nodded, then saluted and withdrew.

Qingyunzi still stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the landscape in front of him with his hands behind his back.

This morning’s surprise attack had gone smoothly without any accidents.

The Zhou People were completely unprepared, and Chu State’s long-held plan combined with their absolute advantage in military forces ensured that the dock’s defenses were immediately broken in a single wave of attack.

Those Zhou People were completely unable to organize any defense or even react before they were confusedly defeated and captured.

If it were not for the sheer number of Zhou People, including soldiers and civilians, totaling over 100,000, it would not have been possible for even fleeing soldiers to appear in such a hasty situation.

Of course.

Even the escape of tens of thousands of people did not matter much in the grand scheme of things.

In this campaign against Hanzhong Prefecture, Qingyunzi brought a large number of troops, totaling 90,000 for both land and water forces.

He waved his hand, and 20,000 troops were dispersed to chase and attack the enemy and occupy towns and cities along their path.

Now that the main forces of the Zhou People in the west of Hanzhong Region have been defeated, and there is no defensive power in the interior of Nanjiang Prefecture adjacent to Xicheng Prefecture, apart from those fleeing soldiers.

With these 20,000 troops alone, it will not be long before this region can be captured, and even further north and south, capturing the other two prefectures of Baishi and Xixiang in the western Hanzhong.

“No, Baishi Prefecture is close to Jianmenguan. Now that I’ve launched a surprise attack on my side, Huang Xuan should also be launching an attack on that side.”

With 50,000 soldiers and another avatar equivalent to the second realm of the Inborn Stage, it might not take long before the side troops I dispatched act and Baishi Prefecture is taken by another troops from Xichuan.”

As Qingyunzi thought about this, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of regret.

It wasn’t because he hadn’t earned more credit or felt any dissatisfaction or regret.

As an avatar, Qingyunzi was essentially one with Lu Yuan, both of them the Pillar State Grand General of Chu Country.

As the master, there was naturally no such thing as merit.

What he regretted was that during this trade, Dongfang Wuyun, the Nan Pillar State Grand General of Zhou Country, had not shown up in person.

According to the original plan.

If Dongfang Wuyun had personally appeared for the first trade between the two countries, Qingyunzi would have had to launch a sneak attack during the trade, directly taking out the Zhou Country General who was guarding Hanzhong.

But things didn’t go as expected.

During the first trade between the two countries, which involved millions of silver taels and held great importance, Dongfang Wuyun surprisingly did not show up?

Was it foresight?

Or disinterest?

Qingyunzi pondered for a moment, then quickly shook his head.

Although he had inherited some of his original memories and wisdom, his limited divine knowledge could not support him to think about many things more deeply.

Such in-depth considerations were not suitable for an avatar like him.
