Straight man of steel

Chapter 401

"Su Jian, have you all cleaned up?"

Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhang Yuan didn't want to live in this bloody place, so he urged Su Jian and the others.

"General, besides cattle and sheep, there are too many things that can't be taken away now."

"The ones that can't be taken away are burned directly, and 5000 people are left to escort the cattle and sheep and the extra horses back to Woyang City, and the rest will follow me one step ahead."

"Here!"

Driving cattle and sheep is always the most troublesome thing, Zhang Yuan thought it would be better if he could return to Woyang City and get a good night's sleep as soon as possible.

Yan Yi and Wang Qing killed at least a dozen Huns today, but both of them were looking for adult Huns men.

After long-term edification of Confucian culture, the two of them must not be able to do things like attacking women and children.

But the two of them were in a very excited state at the end. It turned out that the Huns who had humiliated the big man for decades were also made of meat, and they would die if they were cut.

This feeling is the most intuitive feeling of many recruits who have just entered the battlefield.

It took the army two hours to rush back to Woyang City. Fortunately, Wei Qing is now a former general, otherwise Zhang Yuan and the others would not be able to enter the city.

As soon as he entered the city, Wei Qing came to find him.

At first, he thought that Zhang Yuan would have to wander the grassland for at least four or five days before returning, but he came back on this day.

Besides, except for Zhang Yuan, all the people who came back had blood on their bodies, and not all of them came back, not even half of the people who set out in the morning, so why didn't Wei Qing not worry.

"Brother Yuan, what happened today? Did you encounter the main force of the Huns as soon as you went out?"

Regardless of the smell of sweat on his body, Zhang Yuan sat down on the floor and began to tell Wei Qing what happened today.

Looking back, it was really good luck.

The situation in Tuidang City is unknown. Isn't it Zhang Yuan's luck to meet a Huns tribe with a large scale and little resistance on the way.

"I see. It seems that even God is on our side. I asked the western captain, and he said that there are no large Hun tribes around here. It seems that the one you encountered came here only last year."

"Hmm, good luck.

When Su Jian brings the rest of the people back, we will report the battle damage to Chang'an! "

"Yes, this time the result must be very rich."

Liu Che could be reassured before the battle, and Zhang Yuan and the others could return to Chang'an as a teacher if they stopped fighting now.

This is already a big win.

"Let me rest first, you can go to Yan Yi and Wang Qing to understand the specific matters, young brother."

Zhang Yuan's laziness has penetrated into his bones.

We also need to cultivate enough energy and energy for the future war, and we will definitely be able to stop worrying now.

Now Zhang Yuan really doesn't know if he can follow Wei Qing and the others to raid long distances for a few days.

And after the raid is over, they may also face a direct fight with the Huns army.

At that time, it will not be the old and weak women and children encountered this time, but it will really be the cavalry team of the Huns.

The situation in Shangjun is basically that someone will be sent to talk to Wei Qing every other day, and the activities of the Huns outside Yanmen County are becoming more and more frequent.

This is because they are worried that the cavalry of the Han army will attack again, and the military officials are also afraid. The Huns have never used this method of scouting.

But the Huns in Henan did not have any decent response.

This situation is exactly what Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan want to see.

Seeing that the time for departure was approaching, everyone became even more nervous.

Except for Zhang Yuan, the few in charge basically worry about various issues such as weapons and equipment, war horses and food every day.

It's not that Zhang Yuan is not worried, but that everything that should be prepared has been prepared, and no matter how much he worries, the situation will not be more perfect.

What should come will always come.

The first day of February is still here, and Zhang Yuan didn't pay attention to whether it was Maohai day or Dingyou day.

But Yan Yi paid special attention. Sima Qian, who was far away in Chang'an, specifically explained to Yan Yi and Wang Qing that he must write down the battle situation in detail.

Originally, Sima Qian said that he must go out with him, but Zhang Yuan was unwilling, and in the end Sima Qian did not grind Zhang Yuan.

The army is no better than at home, and Zhang Yuan will not let Sima Qian be willful.

"Brother Yuan, it's finally time to set off!"

"Well, I don't know how many times I have deduced it, but now I am really going to leave, I still have this anxiety in my heart."

"Haha, me too, but don't worry.

The Xiongnu are bandits after all, and our big Han cavalry has formed a large scale, and they will definitely not be able to cause any trouble.

This battle is our battle of feudal lords! "

Wei Qing's Guannei Marquis is not as important as Liehou. He must have wanted a Liehou, and then he would work hard for Wanhu Marquis.

And Zhang Yuan's goal is to become a Marquis in World War I, and his goal is not Guanneihou but Liehou.

Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan are definitely not the only ones in the army who have such thoughts.

Su Jian and Zhang Cigong must have thought so in their hearts.

How many years have passed, and finally it is time to take the initiative to attack the Huns!
And from the very beginning, they aimed at King Lou Fan and King Aries, just thinking about it makes people's blood boil with excitement.

"Otherwise, I don't want to say anything more!

Brothers and soldiers, capture Gaoque within three days, the big man will win this battle! "

"The big man will win!"

"set off!"

The roar of fifty thousand cavalry rushing together is definitely not comparable to that of thousands of cavalry.

The smart Zhang Yuan had prepared cotton to plug his ears, and he also got a lot of willow branches to stir in his mouth.

He also prepared a copy of the same thing for Yan Yi and Wang Qing, leaving the rest like Wei Qing, Su Jian, and Zhang Yuan alone.

These people can live on horseback, and they have long adapted to a little noise.

What kind of experience is it like to stay on horseback for three days and three nights?
Zhang Yuan couldn't answer this question before, but he can now.

The whole body is falling apart, if not for the armor that binds the body inside the armor, it must have become a mess of loose flesh.

Zhang Yuan only knew that when he arrived at Gaoque with the army, he fell off his horse and then lost consciousness.

After waking up again, a day and a night had passed.

As for the fucking Gao Que, Wei Qing had already taken it down, and there was no disturbance at all.

Loufan King and Aries King were completely trapped in the south of Yinshan Mountain!

"I've been asleep all day?"

Yan Yi and Wang Qing were by Zhang Yuan's side to take care of him.

"Well, teacher, if there is a big fight next time, no matter what, you don't want to fight again!"

Yan Yi still thinks that Zhang Yuan is asking for a fight on his own initiative.

But Zhang Yuan was really teased by the father Yan at the beginning, so he dragged him to the northern border.

"Okay, what's the situation now?"

"Since we captured Gaoque the day before yesterday, there have been small drum Hun cavalry attacking, but we repelled them all.

King Aries and King Loufan should both know that Gao Que has been blocked by us.

But we don't know what the situation on General Li's side is now. "

"Now I can only choose to trust Li Guang and the others."

After Zhang Yuan said this, he wanted to get up, but his whole body hurt so badly that he had no strength at all.

"Teacher, lie down and rest. The students will cook some minced meat for you. It will be better to get out of bed after recovering some strength."

Without waiting for Zhang Yuan's reply, Wang Qing walked out of the big tent and went to make meat porridge for Zhang Yuan.

Once upon a time, Zhang Yuan couldn't eat minced meat, but now it has become the only choice to replenish his vitality.

I hate that Zhang Yuan didn't find any ginseng, otherwise only one root would be enough to make up for the loss of the body immediately.

The dry rations in the army are also dried meat, so Wang Qing can make minced meat very quickly.

Knowing that Zhang Yuan was awake, Wei Qing also came with him.

"Brother Yuan, are you okay?"

Zhang Yuan forced a smile and replied.

"It's okay, if I knew that riding a horse for a few days would waste my energy, I would have stayed in Woyang City.

Now it is holding everyone back, and if it spreads out, it may become a joke for the nobles of Chang'an City. "

"No, I have already released the news.

Said, brother Yuan, you were injured when you went out to Longcheng, and you have been riding horses for the past few days, and the old injury recurred, and then you passed out.

It's too late for the soldiers to admire you, so how can they laugh at you. "

Wei Qing is really a talent, and his ability to speak out is no worse than Zhang Yuan.

"Hehe, it's okay to say that, a big man must have some face outside, haha."

"Alright then, Brother Yuan, you continue to rest.

There are still many things in the army that I need to deal with, so I won't delay your rest. "

"Yeah, when I get better, I'm going to find you."

"it is good!"

As soon as Wei Qing left, Yan Yi couldn't bear it anymore.

"Teacher, where are you hurt?
First of all, I heard other soldiers say that I still don't believe it. The former general said so now, so it must be true. "

"Ahem, I'm sad!"

"Heart hurt? That's a big problem!"

"If you continue talking, I may hurt my hand."

"You have old injuries on your hands too?"

"No, it's a new injury. I'm worried that I hurt my hand when I whipped you."

Zhang Yuan's tone of voice was a bit harsh, but after being a teacher for a long time, he was still a bit dignified, so Yan Yi didn't dare to speak immediately.

After eating a few mouthfuls of the meat porridge cooked by Wang Qing, Zhang Yuan's spirit was improved, but his whole body was still in a state of falling apart.

In order to punish his big mouth, Zhang Yuan could only ask the descendant of the Resurrection Saint to massage himself to soothe his sore muscles.

Life in Gaoque was quite comfortable, and it took three days in a row before Zhang Yuan was able to carry out normal activities.

More and more Huns came here from the south of Yinshan Mountain, but there were no Huns from the north.

At this time, the Xiongnu Shan Yuting had already quarreled.

The thing they discussed was, of course, whether to send troops south to rescue King Loufan and King Aries.

Most people's opinion is to sit on the sidelines.

Every king of the Xiongnu has a high degree of autonomy, so everyone believes that if Da Shanyu is attacked by the Han, King Loufan and King Aries will not come to rescue them.

The military minister naturally wanted to send troops south, and he needed a war to reaffirm his lost prestige in the Battle of Mayi.

If it was at any other time, the military ministers would definitely stand on the sidelines in line with the ministers below.

But now the Han wants to launch a full-scale war against the Xiongnu. In this first battle, as the great chanyu of the Xiongnu, he retreated. Then what other tribes of the Xiongnu will trust him in the future.

As for where the military minister learned that the big man was going to launch a full-scale war, someone naturally told him.

That person was Chu Da. Last year at the sacrificial meeting in Yulin, Chu Da managed to get the military officials to keep him by his side.

And he has been instilling various ideas into the military officials.

It is nothing more than to let the military ministers go to war with the big man.

No one believed it, but a Han actually wanted the Xiongnu to fight the Han army.

The proud Huns must have thought that Chu Da hated the big man very much, but he didn't know that his hidden mission was to make the big man fight the Huns head-on.

Have you ever seen someone who sent spies to lurk in the enemy camp in order to fight against you? Someone like Chu Da might be the first one.

"Chu Da, you are Han, tell me what the emperor of Han thinks."

The military minister suddenly pointed to Chu Da. He actually didn't trust Chu Da, but he also wanted to take this opportunity to test Chu Da's position.

"My lord, I think you should immediately lead your troops to the south to rescue King Aries from the fire.

The reason why I stayed here is because I guessed that the Han people might attack King Aries, so I wanted to ask for your support.

Last year, King Aries gave you countless treasures in order to get your protection. Now if you are not moved, you will not live up to King Aries' trust in you. "

"Da Shanyu must not go south, the Aries King only offered his treasures when he needed your support, but he didn't pay attention to you on weekdays.

Such a Xiongnu king is not worthy of our support. Let him fight the big man to the death, and we will take advantage of it. "

It was Zuo Guduhou who spoke, and Guduhou was a man who assisted the Xiongnu Da Shanyu in governing the country, and he was also a wise man of the Huns.

"Da Chanyu, have you forgotten the tribe that was massacred not long ago?
Naked provocation, in the face of such a provocation, we should fight back directly! "

In a blink of an eye, someone immediately supported the battle.

Chu Da took a look, this person is Zuo Guli King Yi Zhixie.

The scope of his subordinates' activities has always been in that area, and the Huns tribe slaughtered by Zhang Yuan's troops should be his subordinates.

However, it is also possible that they are the subordinates of Zuoxian King Yu Shan. Anyway, the Xiongnu king and generals with Zuo are generally active in the east.

The Xiongnu Da Shanyu was active in the middle, and the Xiongnu King with the right character was active in the west with his generals.

A little further to the west is the territory of King Hunxie and King Xiutu, and a little further south is the territory of King Loufan and King Baiyang.

Looking at it this way, in fact, the Huns also had a system of enfeoffment, and these people who were enfeoffed had great military power, which made people frightened.

In any case, the military strength of Yi Zhixie, the king of Zuo Guli, plus the military strength of Yu Shan, the crown prince of Zuoxian, has exceeded the Huns army controlled by the Xiongnu chief Yu Junchen.

Sometimes it is quite difficult for military ministers to send out troops. It is very difficult for the following 24 princes with the title of Ten Thousand Riders to gather them together, let alone recruit all the armies to go out together.

"I also want to play, since the debate is endless, then listen to me.

You call all the sons under your command who can fight, and I will see at least 20 troops appear on Langjuxu Mountain in seven days. "

"Yes!"

After Chu Da finished listening, he felt relaxed.

On the seventh day, it will take three or four days for you to go to Yinshan to rescue them again, so ten days have passed.

Ten days was enough for Wei Qing to get rid of King Loufan and King Aries in Henan and Hetao.
