Straight man of steel

Chapter 402 Lost General
What Zhang Yuanweiqing and the others had to do for the Han army was to wait in Gaoque.

Calmness is necessary.

What if we attack rashly and fail to find the main force of the Huns.

Gaoque has no main force to guard Gaoque, so what should we do if the Huns break through.

What Zhang Yuan told Liu Che at the beginning was to wipe out the tribes of King Loufan and King Aries.

It doesn't matter if some irrelevant people run away, and no one will argue with Zhang Yuan about the word "complete annihilation".

If the two walking marquises, King Lou Fan and King Aries, ran away, this could still be called a total annihilation, of course it couldn't be.

Waiting is always boring, but fortunately, there are always hundreds of people in the account every day.

Wei Qing captured some Huns alive and wanted to ask how far the battle in Henan had progressed, but there was no one in the team who could communicate with these Huns.

When Zhang Yuan taught these Taixue students, he should have taught them some Huns language.

This time, I should bring a few Huns guides, but I never thought about how important it is to bring an interpreter for the sake of confidentiality.

For a nation without writing and books, when others want to learn their language, the difficulty is raised by more than one level.

However, the Huns are not willing to learn the language of other people. Of course, the high-ranking and powerful people understand Chinese, but the following big soldiers may understand it, but it is too difficult to communicate with them.

"Young brother, it's been five days, why don't we send some scouts south?"

Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing rode to a relatively high place in the Yinshan Mountains.

Here you can overlook the desert in the south, and sometimes you can see some black spots moving. Those are Qiang people or Huns who are panicking.

"No, if General Li Guang and the others are successful, the scouts we send out will also directly hit the Huns.

If they don't go well, the Huns are already attacking the Great Wall of Shangjun. We sent out scouts but still can't find General Li Guang.

And we have to guard against threats from the north. "

Wei Qing sent out scouts during the period, and wanted to see what was going on in Manchester City.

But the scouts went over and saw that Touman City had become an empty city. It seemed that the Huns knew that there were a large number of Han cavalry around, so they collectively moved north.

Anyway, they are nomads, as long as there is water and grass, their lives are the same wherever they are.

But Wei Qing noticed one thing from this point, there are only two possibilities for the Huns to do this.

One is to completely give up Lou Fanwang Aries King.

The second is that they intend to go south to besiege the Han army, so let all the surrounding Huns evacuate first.

This is also a common tactic of the Huns. The reason why the Han people lost to the Huns was because they could not be found on the grassland.

That's why the Huns have been using such a tactic to clear out the Huns in an area, and the Han people can't even find the Huns.

This is what Wei Qing is worried about, and what he is worried about now is indeed right.

When the military officials were determined to go south to support King Aries, they immediately sent people to tell all the Huns along the way to stay away from this place.

And he also sent people to Hunxie King Xiutu, so that Hunxie King and Xiutu King also sent troops to attack the big man.

"Don't think too much, even if Li Guang is useless, he won't delay for a long time.

Don't forget how many troops they have in their hands, and driving the ducks also drove Lou Fan Wang and Aries King over. "

What Zhang Yuan had been worried about for a long time finally became a reality.

This guy Li Guang got lost again.

When they set off, he and Gongsun He split into two teams, chasing Aries King all the way and Loufan King all the way.

Li Guang took Li Xi and Zhufu Yan to chase after the Aries King, but was accidentally taken into the desert.

The students of Taixue immediately suggested to go out of the desert first, and then send scouts to surround the edge of the desert. When the Aries King's tribe came out, they could implement the duck-driving tactics.

How could Li Guang listen to a young student? He relied on his many years of experience to successfully get lost in the desert.

As for King Aries, he didn't know where he went.

Gongsun He's side went quite smoothly, he almost wiped out Loufan Wang's entire branch.

Even without Wei Qing's help, King Loufan kept rushing towards Xihe County, and Gongsun He let him rush.

As a result, there were [-] frontier troops waiting for King Lou Fan in Xihe County, and more than [-] people were surrounded by King Lou Fan's tribe.

Gongsun Ao, who was with Gongsun He, was about to burst into laughter. When he really wanted to be named Marquis, no one could stop him.

Li Guang took Li Xi and Zhufu Yan out of the desert with great difficulty, and the number of personnel was directly reduced by half.

In order to prevent the news from leaking out, Li Guang killed the Taixue student who made the suggestion at the beginning.

The reason is simple, this student did not lead the way well, causing the army to suffer such a big loss.

The other students who stayed under Li Guang were all silent and did not dare to say anything more.

As for Li Xi, his brows were only furrowed. Li Guang was still the main force in their army. Li Xi could only sigh in his heart that he was unlucky.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Fuyan was still happy for a while. He felt that the Taixue students were all Zhang Yuan's students, and it would be best to kill them all to bring peace to the world.

"General, what shall we do next, now King Aries and his tribe have lost their trace.

Is it possible that we will return without success this time?Do you know how much hope His Majesty has for this war? "

Although Li Xi tolerated Li Guang's killing of the Taixue student, he didn't just tolerate it.

The attitude is directly placed here, you killed someone, now you have to make up your mind whether to retreat or become the main general.

As for Li Guang's attitude, he definitely cannot retreat.

With such a big responsibility, so many people were lost without even touching the Xiongnu's buttocks, and all the responsibility was shifted to Zhang Yuan?

Liu Che is not an idiot, even if the advice given by the Taixue student is wrong, you, Li Guang, don't have the ability to judge yourself at all.

"Continue to send people out to investigate the traces of King Aries.

Don't those Taixue students boast that they won't get lost in the desert? Send them all to me! "

As soon as Li Guang shouted out his words, the faces of the Taixue students assigned to Li Guang turned pale.

What does this have to do with getting lost?
This is to let them take human lives to fill. Now Henan and Hetao areas are full of fleeing Huns and Qiangs.

These students leave the protection of the army, even if their personal force is not weak, but will the enemy definitely act alone?
"General Li, you are deliberately taking revenge!

I will not go to the Aries King, I will return to Qiucha City in a while, and I must tell Tai Xueling what you did! "

A cold light flashed in Li Guang's eyes, and he drew out the long sword in his waist and pierced the abdomen of the disputed student.

"Those who disobey the military order, beheaded!"

These students have really experienced the greatest danger in the world.

First he was fed poison by Zhang Tang, and now he meets a general like Li Guang.

Self-willed, arrogant and unaware.

Now think about Zhang Yuan. Compared with these people, he is really a good person.

The whole army was silent.

Who would have thought that Li Guang, known for his love for soldiers like a son, would have such a cold-blooded side.

If this ability to reverse black and white is used to deal with the Xiongnu, it will not be confused with the current state of being too high to be low.

About twenty Taixue students were sent out by Li Guang, and quite a few of them did not find any trace of the Huns.

They found a relatively safe place to hide. This group of people is smart. When they return to Qiuci City, they will run away and disobey the military order. Li Guang will still be able to kill them when the time comes.

Now hide first, and then go back after a while, just say that there is no trace of the Huns.

Li Guang would really be unstoppable if he tried again at that time. It was impossible for Li Xi to let such a thing happen in front of his eyes again.

He killed the officers under him without any reason. You must know that the Taixue students are not ordinary soldiers, they are all officers of Liu Chefeng.

Without a reason, it is impossible to move an ordinary soldier, let alone a general in the army.

Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan, who were waiting in Gaoque, Yinshan, where the flowers were all cold, finally waited for Gongsun He and Gongsun Ao in the midst of boredom.

Wei Qing was still happy to successfully join a team.

But I felt uncomfortable because I didn't see the Huns being driven here.

"What happened in Henan?"

As soon as Wei Qing saw Gongsun He, he asked the question.

"The only one who grabs the bait is the Aries King.

In order to save time, and to not give Lou Fanwang time to react.

I discussed with General Li Guang that he send troops to attack the Aries King tribe.

I took half of the army to directly attack King Loufan, originally thinking that I would drive King Loufan to Gaoque.

As a result, they kept running to the east, as if they knew you were in Yinshan.

So I followed them to Xihe County and wiped out King Loufan's troops outside the Great Wall of Xihe County.

King Loufan was killed on the spot, and a number of high-ranking officials were captured, and all the high-ranking ones died in battle.

how.Didn't Li Guang show up with his troops yet?

They should have contacted the Aries King sooner. You must know that the Aries King is going south, and I ran with the army for a few days before I saw the banner of the Loufan King. "

The situation is the same as what Gongsun He said. The Aries King went south to plunder the envoys. Li Guang led the army to chase them away a little bit. The two sides can meet each other in a day. But there is no news yet, how can others not be in a hurry? .

"There is nothing to do next, just continue to wait patiently.

But it's okay, with you guys here, our two armies will be in one place, even if the Hun Shanyu led his army south, we won't be afraid of them. "

Wei Qing said it very easily, but there is a very real problem.

What would Wei Qing do if the military ministers didn't attack the Han army at all, but stationed in Touman City in front of you.

Consumption, the big man can't afford it.

Once Wei Qing chooses to withdraw his troops, the Xiongnu Da Shanyu can immediately go south to take back the Hetao area, as for the Henan area, he does not need it.

In the future, it will be much simpler for the Huns to only guard one river loop.

Originally, Zhang Yuan's plan was to take down King Aries and King Loufan, and then attack Manchester City.

To maintain the connection between Gaoque and Touman City, the Xiongnu Da Shanyu had no choice but to retreat, and the key to the battle lay in the city.

After waiting for another two days, at this time the Xiongnu Da Shanyu's military officials had gathered 20 cavalry, and they had already set off towards Yinshan.

However, after a student from Taixue broke away from Li Guang's army, he immediately wanted to come to Chaoyin Mountain.

This is the case with truly intelligent people. This student is smarter and wiser than those who hide.

This is not a violation of military orders, and it can be regarded as a great achievement.

The student's name was Ba Rao. Zhang Yuan had not been so impressed by this student before.

Only after Yan Yi reminded him several times did Zhang Yuan remember this student.

"Forgive you to say that you are from General Li Guang, tell me what happened.

Did General Li Guang send you here to find the former general? "

All the generals gathered in the big tent, Wei Qing, Su Jian, Zhang Cigong, Gongsun He, Gongsun Ao, including Zhang Yuan, all grew up and stared at this student.

"Reporting to the Taixue Order, there was indeed an accident in our army along the way.

After we fought the Huns cavalry under King Aries, the Huns were defeated and chose to flee.

Then they fled into the desert, and we followed. "

Henan is just such a big desert, otherwise Zhang Yuan would not have used that desert as the first stage of the trial.

All one hundred students passed the trial, which showed that they were familiar with the desert. Zhang Yuan really didn't think that Li Guang would have any problems in the desert.

"go on."

“After entering, the army had a hard time finding the Huns.

Senior Bai Xian suggested to General Li Guang that by taking the army out first, and then assigning some scouts to guard some entrances and exits in the desert, the traces of the Huns could be quickly determined.

But General Li Guang disagreed and insisted on looking for the Huns in the desert, but in the end we couldn't find them, and we didn't bring enough water, so many people died of thirst in the desert. "

"Don't you know that there is an oasis in the middle of the desert?

How can there be no water? "

"General Li Guang said that finding the Xiongnu is the number one priority."

"Fuck you, idiot!"

Zhang Yuan couldn't hold back and swears directly.

Ma De has never been found in the desert, so where else is the Aries King?

It must be in that oasis in the middle of the desert, with a city to defend and a source of water.

Zhang Yuan understands Li Guang's desire to chase into the desert, and he can't be wrong in doing so, but when he knows that there is an oasis in the desert, he doesn't go to investigate but search hard in the yellow sand. This is not stupid × what is this.

This guy's getting lost has nothing to do with God at all, it's just that he is too obsessed, too stubborn and doesn't listen to other people's advice.

"and after?"

Ba Rao was taken aback by Zhang Yuan, so he stopped and didn't continue talking.

"Later we went out of the desert, and the army lost almost half of its personnel.

General Li Guang killed senior Bai Xian, and then let us Taixue students leave the army to find traces of the Huns.

I know that if a person goes to the Huns alone, he will die. He cannot bring the news back, and the sacrifice is completely useless.

So I thought that I should find Taixueling and the former general first. "

At this time, Wei Qing who had been silent all this time also opened his mouth, but he didn't ask about Li Guang's situation, but said something else.

"You will be under my account from now on, and you don't need to go back to General Li Guang."

Barrao was immediately overjoyed.

"The last general thanked the former general!"
