Straight man of steel

Chapter 480 Return from Victory
Liaoxi County is as fat as the county seat within the county government.

At this time, it was already the second day after Yizhi died sideways.

At noon, Zhang Yuan asked the magistrate of Feiru County to prepare a banquet.

Zhang Yuan planned to entertain King Hunxie, Wuhuan Da Shanyu, Tugugu, Ajuduo, Wuhuan people and Huns.

Only Zhang Yuan, Wei Qing and Chu Da were on the Han side.

Eating is not the purpose, but discussing what to do next is the purpose.

After all, Wuhuan Da Shanyu already has 30 troops in his hands.

Wuhuan Da Shanyu also kept an eye out, he decided that he would agree to whatever Zhang Yuan said, even if he gave up all his interests.

After all, the county is full of Han Chinese, so Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing killed him if they wanted to.

Please please Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan first, and then talk about other things when you go back.

As for King Hunxie, he almost gave Wei Qing all the military power in his hands.

After arriving in Feiru County yesterday, King Hunxie wanted to have a candle night chat with Zhang Yuan, to talk about the beautiful life in Chang'an City in the future.

When it was noon, all the guests had arrived.

Wei Qing sat on the main seat, Wuhuan Da Shanyu and Hunxie King sat on the left and right of Wei Qing, then Chu Da and Zhang Yuan, and finally Wuhuan and Huns.

"Everyone, I think you also know that this meal is not for eating and drinking.

I don't have much time, so it would be better to clarify some things today. "

Wei Qing drank and ate without saying a word. Today was Zhang Yuan's performance alone.

"General Hussars can say whatever he wants, the people sitting here are all his own people."

"Yes, my own."

Zhang Yuan looked at Wuhuan Da Shanyu and Hunxie King and smiled, these two people were really not ashamed.

"Since they are all our own people, hand over the scepter of the Xiongnu Da Chanyu, and the head of Yi Zhixie."

King Hunxie's expression changed, but he nodded quickly.

"I'll have someone give it to General Hussars later."

A Juduo's expression also changed, Yi Zhixie killed him, what does Zhang Yuan want to do?

"Then Hunxie King, you can also hand over the military power later, and hand it over to the big Han Xihou Zhao Xin and Chou Diao."

Chou Diao is still chasing the Huns deserters north of the Great Wall, and Gongsun Rongnu also went with [-] cavalry.

King Hunxie knew that the most important thing he came here today was to hand over the military power.

This is something that can't be helped, and he must compromise.

"I will make it clear to the soldiers under my command in the afternoon."

"Okay, then I'll talk to Wuhuan Da Shanyu, and then we can eat and drink."

"What did the general of the hussars tell me?"

Zhang Yuan turned around and looked at Wuhuan Da Shanyu.

"Before I promised you some things in order to instigate you.

It's just that your subsequent behavior makes me not very satisfied. "

Zhang Yuan folded his chest and examined Wuhuan Da Shanyu.

Wuhuan Da Shanyu naturally knew what Zhang Yuan was talking about.

He watched from the sidelines at first, and then subdued [-] Hun cavalry, all of which touched Zhang Yuan's bottom line.

But he doesn't care what Zhang Yuan said to him before, he has 30 cavalry and can wipe out Wiman Korea by himself.

The most important thing is that now the Xiongnu has only hundreds of thousands of women and children left, and tens of millions of square miles of grasslands and deserts are all unowned places. He still occupies a small Korean peninsula, isn't that stupid?

"Oh, I don't remember what the Hussar General promised.

I just couldn't understand Yi Zhixie attacking the benevolent Han army, so I realized it. "

"You don't remember me but you do, I promised to help you overthrow Wiman Joseon.

Even if what you do doesn't satisfy me, what I said still counts.

The general will order tomorrow that the Han army in Liaoxi County and Liaodong County will not stop your 30 cavalry from Wuhuan.

If I don't take back the [-] Huns cavalry, it will be considered a help to you. You'd better not let me break my promise. "

"General Hussars, what do you mean by that?"

"I don't mean anything, but you'd better not go to the place where the Huns are.

If the Han army found nomads west of Tuidang City, they would all treat them as Huns.

After all, the gap between you is not very big. "

It is impossible for a big man to occupy such a large grassland, but compared to Xianbei, Zhang Yuan does not want Wuhuan to become bigger.

There are also many internal problems in Xianbei.

After the Xianbei Da Shanyu later defected to the Dahan, his status was very low.

Even a subjugated prince of North Korea can be named a lieutenant if he goes to the Han Dynasty.

As a result, Xianbei's Da Shanyu only had an official position of one thousand stones.

And he accepted it.

This shows that Xianbei is very weak at this time, and he doesn't even have any ambitions.

Zhang Yuan has already seen the Wuhuan people's ambition.

So he chose to suppress Wuhuan first, so that the big man can recuperate well in the next few decades.

If the Wuhuan people occupy the place of the Xiongnu.

It doesn't take decades, it only takes ten years, and there will be another Xiongnu in the north of the Han Dynasty.

"Okay, I'll listen to General Hussars."

Wuhuan Da Shanyu took a sip of wine and agreed to Zhang Yuan.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Zhang Yuan sat back in his seat.

Wei Qing stood up at this time and began to sing red faces, toasting for everyone to drink.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere at the banquet was very relaxed and happy.

After Zhang Yuan got the heads of Jie Zhi and Yi Zhixie in the afternoon, he immediately found Zhao Xin.

"Xihou, this is your chance.

Go to Tuidang City and tell the Huns that the Huns have been defeated and Yizhixie is dead.

You will take them to Dahan, looking for a place where they can graze with peace of mind.

After completing these things, I will give you a cavalry of ten thousand people and let you go to Langjuxu Mountain to find your lover. "

Xin Zhao is an orthodox nobleman of the Huns, and also has the blood of the Great Chanyu.

The Hunxie tribe was originally a nomadic people annexed by the Huns, and the bloodline of King Hunxie has nothing to do with Yi Zhixie or his military officials.

That's why Zhang Yuan wanted Xin Zhao to come forward instead of King Hunxie.

"Thank you, General Hussars, for your kindness. I will definitely complete this task."

"If you can't kill, don't kill, if you have to kill, kill.

You remember that all the cavalry you brought with you were Han Chinese cavalry, and they would not show mercy to the Huns. "

"I will understand at the end."

There was something else in Xin Zhao's eyes.

Zhang Yuan was threatening him.

All you brought were big Han cavalry. If you want to return to the embrace of the Huns, those big Han cavalry will definitely not sit idly by.

Xin Zhao didn't think of it, and Zhang Yuan still didn't trust him very much.

The key is that it's fine if you don't trust him, and every time you give him all the things that need to be done by the most trusted person.

He really didn't understand what Zhang Yuan was thinking.

There are still many small groups of Xiongnu cavalry fleeing south of the Great Wall, but Gongsun He led 20 infantry to deploy defenses along the northern edge of the Great Wall, and Wei Qing asked Zhao Ponu to return directly to Yuyang City with tens of thousands of cavalry, and then divided them into small groups Start sweeping from west to east.

All this will take a long time, and Zhang Yuan and the others cannot withdraw their troops yet.

At the very least, they will not be able to return to Chang'an City until these border counties are completely safe.

The Great Wall here in Shanhaiguan is the inner Great Wall, and there is an outer Great Wall at the border of Liaoxi County in Liaodong County and Wuhuan and Weiman Korea.

Wei Qing personally sent 30 Wuhuan cavalry out of the Great Wall, so he was relieved.

Zhang Yuan understood Chu Da's return to his heart like an arrow.

So let Xiao Ding take five hundred cavalry to escort Chu Da back to Chang'an, and tell Liu Che the result of the battle by the way.

The box of ginseng was also sent back.

Half a month passed quickly, and it took half a month for Xin Zhao to get rid of the Huns in the decadent city.

Then he rushed to Langjuxu Mountain with [-] Han cavalry without looking back.

Yuyang County is a bit far from Chang'an, Xin Zhao has settled it, Xiao Ding has not returned to Chang'an City yet.

It's just that the news of the big man's victory has already spread to Chang'an City.

"Your Majesty, my big man has won!"

The cavalryman who delivered the letter was sent by Wei Qing to Chang'an City as soon as Yi Zhixie died.

Liu Che trembled uncontrollably. He had been waiting for this news for more than three months.

Ever since Yuyang City was besieged, he was worried that Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan would lose.

Then came the news that when the Huns had 90 cavalry, an iron ingot was pressed on his heart.

"Tell me what's going on?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the villain is not aware of the current situation.

It's just that Yu Yizhixie, the great Shan of the Huns, was dead. When the villain was sent back by the general, there were less than 5 Huns who could fight.

And we have more than 50 cavalry on our side! "

"More than 50? Why are there so many?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, General Hussars instigated Wuhuan Da Shanyu, and King Hunxie also turned against him. Of the more than 50 people, more than 40 are their army."

"Zhang Yuan was able to instigate Wuhuan Great Chanyu? How did he do it?"

"Your Majesty, the villain does not know about the secrets and important matters in the military.

The villain only knew that before the decisive battle began, even the villain's general didn't know about it.

Chang Shi Zhangqian was also tied up for questioning the Hussar General in front of 15 cavalry and is still imprisoned in Yuyang City. "

"Okay, you go down.

Reward a hundred gold and promote the tenth rank of title! "

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The cavalry never expected to get so many rewards just for sending a message.

"Zhang Yuan is good, good!

According to my order, Xiao Ruo, the wife of the Marquis of Xin'an, was granted the title of Marquis of Lantian, and she was granted the title of [-] households.

Hussar general Zhang Yuan was granted the title of Grand Sima, and Chang'an City will start celebrating today, slaughtering cattle and sheep to celebrate the grand ceremony! "

Xiao Ruo became the sixth woman of the Han Dynasty to be enshrined in such a daze.

When the news spread throughout Chang'an City and even Lantian Mountain, everyone knew that Zhang Yuan had won the battle!
The battle in Yuyang County finally came to an end.

Afterwards, there were battle reports from Yuyang County to Chang'an City every day.

Good news without exception.

Half a month later, Xiao Ding led five hundred cavalry to escort Chu Da into Chang'an City.

Liu Che personally went to the gate of Chang'an City to meet Chu Da.

To show guilt towards Chu Da.

"Your Majesty, the minister is back!"

Chu Da saw Liu Che at the city gate, as if he had never left Chang'an City.

Chu Da hated Liu Che before, but now there is absolutely no hatred in his heart.

"Mr. Chu, I'm sorry for you!"

Liu Che took Chu Da's hand and pointed in the direction of Du County.

"Mr. Chu, do you remember the name of the city over there?"

"I remember, it's Du County.

If I hadn't gone to Du County to wait for the Hussar General for a few days, I am afraid that I would have died with the Huns. "

Chu Da said it on purpose, in order to make Liu Che feel more guilty.

Liu Che will not kill him. From now on, as long as Chu Da does not rebel, Liu Che will not kill him.

"I also remember that from now on, you will be Duhou, enfeoffing thousands of households!
From now on, the big man will protect the prosperity and wealth of your Chu family for generations! "

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Let's go to Lantian Mountain to see your family."

Liu Che was very approachable at this time.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Chu Da kowtowed to Liu Che, then took a horse from Xiao Ding, and headed straight for Lantian Mountain.

"You are the kid from the Xiao family, right?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Xiao Ding will be the last general."

"Let's go to Jianzhang Palace and explain the war in northern Xinjiang to me."

"Here!"

Xiao Ding did not get the chance to go home like Chu Da did.

He chatted with Liu Che all night before telling Liu Che everything he saw from Zhang Yuan.

"You think your brother-in-law is a great hero?"

"Your Majesty, the general thinks that the general and the hussar general are heroes of the great man."

"Not only are they, but you are too.

From now on, you will stay by my side and be in charge of the guards of Jianzhang Palace. "

"The last general thanked His Majesty!"

A week later, Wei Qing said that the war in the Northeast had been completely pacified, and the 60 women and children of the Huns agreed to surrender to the Han, and then asked Liu Che to allow them to lead the army back to Chang'an City.

Liu Che frowned. There are hundreds of thousands of Hun women and children, which is a lot.

But it is still allowed, and we will wait until people arrive in Chang'an City.

After all, there is a solution.

Seeing that summer is about to pass again, and autumn is approaching.

When Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing rode through Wei County, they saw the farmland on both sides of the road, and they knew that this year's harvest was not very good.

"The big man may not be able to support so many Huns."

Wei Qing said suddenly.

"There is no need to raise them, the millions of cattle and sheep are all ours.

Let’s talk about whether these Huns are dead or alive. In addition, I think the women of the Huns are also very strong and can be used to farm. "

On the contrary, Zhang Yuan felt that these people could be used as labor force.

Over the years, the population of the big man has decreased by several million. This time, it is added to 60, and King Hunxie still has hundreds of thousands of clansmen.

These millions of Huns are all free labor.

"The Huns don't know how to farm, so it's better for them to herd cattle and sheep."

"You can't just teach them, you are born to fight?"

"I was born to do it!"

Awesome, Wei Qing said that, what else can Zhang Yuan say.

Awesome people are awesome in whatever they say.

The army returned to Chang'an very slowly.

After all, this time, 60 women and children, as well as millions of cattle and sheep, were kidnapped.

But take it slow, it's quite refreshing to eat.

There is no exact figure for the millions of cattle and sheep. One sheep is enough to feed twenty or thirty people for a day.

The Huns gave them even less food, one sheep let 100 of them eat for a day.

When I saw the outline of Chang'an City, I didn't consume all 100 million sheep.

Even if Zhang Yuan wanted to eat these cows, Wei Qing would not let him eat them.

For Wei Qing, these cattle are the biggest harvest.

Dividing one million cows into two households can also benefit the 100 million population of Dahan.

"Just let these Huns and the army wait thirty miles outside the city, and they can no longer approach the city!"

Zhang Yuan said something to Wei Qing.

"I see."

Liu Che is an insecure person, and he hasn't let go of Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing's military power until now, which has reached his limit.

Zhang Yuan could not take the initiative to test Liu Che's lower limit again.
