Straight man of steel

Chapter 222
Gongsun He and Wei Qing stopped smiling immediately.

Wicked people have their own troubles, there is no need to argue with Han Anguo for a moment.

"General Jiangtun's death, some people are probably already happy in their hearts, so let's not talk about others."

Li Xi immediately turned back, not for anything else, if it was really Han Anguo's mistake that made the Xiongnu Da Shanyu lead his troops to break out, in fact, the first wave of people who were cheated were Li Xi and Li Guang.

It was only at that time that Li Xi and Li Guang responded to the situation and did not confront the Huns. This prevented their soldiers from suffering huge losses.

"The emperor's envoy has not yet arrived at Leitou Mountain, and I am still your superior. As long as I am still in this position, it is disrespectful for you to act like this."

After Han Anguo said this, no one refuted him, and the room suddenly became quiet.

Gongsun He, as the one who took the biggest advantage among the others, had no choice but to stand up and ask Wei Qing.

"Where did the Cavalry Commander lead the Qimen Army in the past few days? Why didn't any news come out, and no one was sent to tell us?"

He will definitely be questioned when he comes back, not to mention that there has been such a big change in the battle of Mayi.

Wei Qing thought for a moment, then opened his mouth and spoke to everyone in the hall.

"After successfully luring the Huns' army to the valley outside Mayi City, Zhang Changshi and I led [-] riders deep into the Huns' hinterland, and headed directly to the Huns' Dragon City thousands of miles away.

There, the Qimen army massacred a Xiongnu tribe, beheaded more than [-] Xiongnu soldiers, captured the Xiongnu high priest alive, and brought back more than [-] cattle and sheep and a thousand war horses.

The high priest of the Xiongnu is currently being imprisoned in the camp of the Qimen army, and the cattle, sheep and horses are driven by Xue Ren, the second military officer of the Qimen army, and it is estimated that they will be able to drive back to Mount Leitou tomorrow. "

Without concealing anything, Wei Qing fully told everyone in the hall the results of Qimen Army's trip.

Gongsun He immediately said with a bitter smile.

"We beheaded tens of thousands of Huns, but there was only one Pi Xiaowang among them."

The Xiongnu Da Shanyu's direct subordinates had a total of four kings, the left and right wise kings, and the left and right wise kings were under the left and right Guli kings.

Pi Xiaowang is just one of the 24 chiefs under these kings. Although his status is very high, there are dozens if not hundreds of such people under the command of the Xiongnu Da Shanyu.

One can imagine the impact the Qimen Army had on these generals when they captured a high priest who was the spiritual symbol of the Huns.

This time the Xiongnu army went out, the military ministers did not notify the left and right wise kings and the left and right Guli kings at all, they only brought the generals under their command, and the two with the highest status were the military ministers following Yu Shan.

It doesn't make much sense for the rest to catch it.

At this moment, Han Anguo sneered again in a very inappropriate way.

"I don't know the identity of the high priest of the Huns you captured? Could it be that he deceived us and His Majesty for credit."

Zhang Yuan said immediately at this moment.

"Whether this matter is true or not, don't bother the General Protector, His Majesty will find out in the end.

Even if that person is not the high priest of the Huns, his tribe must not be a simple person to be able to garrison the Dragon City of the Huns. "

Han Anguo fell silent again and stopped talking.

At this moment, Li Xi finally spoke to Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan.

"Now that the Qimen Army has returned to camp, tomorrow we will tally up all the casualties and gains, write down the situation of this battle, and send a dedicated person to present it to His Majesty on horseback."

Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan immediately agreed.

Just now Gongsun Ao had told them both that Han Anguo wanted to shift the responsibility to the Qimen army, but he still didn't know how it harmed Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing in his report.

As for other people, when they haven't seen what Qimenjun is like, they won't talk to Qimenjun about some confusing things.

If they want to prove their innocence, they can only rely on Wei Qing and the others.

"The general will know. I will make statistics after I go back later."

After finishing the questioning hastily, Zhang Yuan and the others returned to their barracks.

For the Qimen Army, this battle has already been won. Zhang Yuan did a simple calculation and found that just over [-] soldiers were killed in the Qimen Army, but they captured more than [-] Xiongnu soldiers.

Although there is a lot of water in it, it was a one-sided massacre at Dragon City. Many Xiongnu men were killed by the Qimen army without even picking up weapons.

As for Gongsun Ao, if it hadn't been for the fact that the Huns cavalry had been focusing on Li Guang, the 500 men would not have been able to kill so many people.

Zhang Yuan estimated that the [-] Qimen Army could fight about [-] Xiongnu cavalry. If there were more numbers, it would be difficult to win, and even if they won, it would be a miserable victory.

"Li Jian, send a person from the village to look after the high priest of the Xiongnu at twelve hours a day, and there must be no negligence, and no one is allowed to visit.

Without my general order, even if General Protector came here, he would not be allowed to enter. "

The only thing Wei Qing was worried about now was that the high priest of the Xiongnu was at fault, so he gave Li Jian an order as soon as he came back.

"The last will obey."

Li Jian clasped his fists in agreement and went down to prepare the manpower.

Gongsun Ao was actually very interested in this high priest of the Xiongnu, and originally wanted to take a look as soon as he came back, but Wei Qing paid so much attention to it, he didn't mention it.

The process of waiting for the messenger from the Son of Heaven to come is very long.

A total of 18 horses are crowded on this Laitou mountain, consuming countless grains and grass every day, waiting for the people from above to come.

About [-] days later, an envoy finally came from Chang'an.

Zhang Yuan and the others, along with Han Anguo and the others, immediately rushed to the Guanmen Pass of the Great Wall to greet them.

From a distance, Zhang Yuan saw a group of people waiting at the foot of the mountain.

When he got closer, Zhang Yuan recognized this person.

The person sent by Liu Che was Chu Da, the Minister of the Shaofu. Because Han Anguo was here, only Tian Fu could overwhelm him, but it was impossible for Tian Fu to come here.

Therefore, the person who was sent was not one of the nine ministers, at least he had to be an official of two thousand shi. Originally, everyone guessed that people from the Zhongjun Mansion might be sent, but it turned out that people from the Shaofu came.

"Chu Da has met the generals."

As soon as they met, Chu Da bowed to Han Anguo and the others.

Everyone returned the gift.

Then Chu Da got off the horse and said to everyone.

"Your Majesty didn't send me to Mount Leitou this time to thoroughly investigate the Battle of Mayi.

It is to pass on His Majesty's oral order, calling the generals back to Beijing to report on their duties, and by the way, the general will be buried and the general will be ordered Wang Hui. "

Li Xi frowned and asked Chu Da.

"Decree of the Shaofu, did His Majesty say how to deal with the 10,000+ army?"

Chu Da narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty said that General Caiguan's arrangements are very good, and the [-] troops deployed inside and outside the Great Wall will not need to be moved.

They are still stationed in place to prevent the Huns from counterattacking. As for the rest of the army, it is now spring, and they should return to the station earlier to avoid missing the spring plowing.

All the soldiers of the Qimen Army still returned to the station next to Jianzhang Palace. "

After hearing this, Han Anguo breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that he might have escaped this time.

Although Li Xi was a little annoyed, he didn't dare to disobey Liu Che's will.

"Since that's the case, let's go back and clean up, and we'll head back to Chang'an tomorrow."

Fearing that something else might happen, Han Anguo immediately said to Chu Da.
