Chapter 141: Breaking the Game
Li Ling, who was in the court of the Xiongnu king, had a very difficult time, and only half of the original 5,000 soldiers and horses were left. The Huns watched closely, and they could only barely mix half full every day and do heavy work.
Hou Tiandan has recovered a number of cities, and now it is in the defensive stage, and he will not take a step forward.
Li Ling was slaughtering a fat sheep, looking at the sky from afar, and the sky was overcast and terrifying.
At this time, Li Ling's deputy general Huang Xu quietly approached Li Ling, and was also slaughtering sheep on the side, and the Hun soldiers guarding did not find out. Huang Xu, who was Li Gang's deputy general when he was a teenager, has remained in Chang'an. Three years ago, Li Gang found Huang Xu again, but Li Gang died, and Huang Xu followed Li Ling. At the same time, there is also Wu Yong.
"General, I found that there are fewer Huns in the past few days. Huang Xu whispered in Li Ling's ear.
Li Ling looked around, Huang Xu was right, it used to be three steps and one post, but now it is seven or eight steps and one post.
"I have heard that they sent 80,000 troops to fight against Daijun. The Marquis of Guannai was strictly guarded, and they couldn't fight, so they turned to Daijun. Yesterday a large group of cavalry left. Huang Xu stared at the guards and muttered. Wu Yong and a few soldiers ran out to see if they could report to Wuwei Hou. "General Wuwei Hou Zhou Fu guards Dai County. Before there was no Tiandan, Zhou Fu was famous. After Tian Dan appeared, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was very favored, and Zhou Fu, the general, was left aside.
"How did you run out?" asked Li Ling. Wu Yong's guard was a well-known Hercules on the grassland, and he had his eye on Wu Yong.
"This is Wu Yong's luck, the guard didn't know what he had eaten wrong, he had a stomach upset, and his whole body was weak. Wu Yong saw the opportunity, beat him up, and ran away. Huang Xu chuckled lowly. At present, more than 2,500 soldiers are living a life of coolies, and they don't know when they will be heads. The court didn't care about it, and let them go here, probably regardless of their life or death. Many fighters, their hearts are cold.
Li Ling looked at Huang Xu's mood and comforted, "Uncle Huang, we still have a chance." The court doesn't care about us, we save ourselves. ”
Huang Xu's eyes lit up, "General, what can you do?"
"There are few people in the Huns now, so let's get rid of him. Li Ling said resolutely.
"But our weapons have been confiscated. Even if we escape, there is no food and grass, which is a big problem. Huang Xu said worriedly.
Li Ling looked at the yurt in front of him, "I saw that the yurt was not there, our weapons were all there." You don't have to worry about the grain and grass, someone is coming to meet us. ”
Huang Xu was happy, but he didn't dare to say anything, "General, great, when will we act?"
"Just tonight, go and talk to the brethren and get them ready. Remember, don't let the Huns know. Li Ling commanded, last night, someone sneaked into his stable. It is Liu Huan's subordinate Shenou, and he is Liu Huan's deputy general. They came to meet them, but they were in the form of ordinary caravans. Under the carriages and horses, there were all grain and grass weapons.
Judging Ou suggested that more than 2,000 people should not have a hard fight with the Xiongnu, first escape from the hinterland of the Xiongnu, and then go south to recover Jiuyuan City. This can be said to be Liu Huan's plan, and the judge Ou analyzed the situation of the imperial court to Li Ling. Now the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty, under the leadership of Fan Qian, the prime minister of Zuo, and Wu Qian, the marquis, want to put the Li family to death. Li Qing and Li Bu, as well as the military generals who supported the Li family, were suppressed. Yang Xiong, the right prime minister who originally supported the Li family, was also moved home by Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty to recuperate.
Liu Yao's sudden move surprised Li Ling. Before setting out on the expedition, Liu Huan instructed himself to be careful of Hou Tiandan in the Guannei. I was so careful that I still fell into Tiandan's way. Li Ling wrote down this feud. The revenge of killing his father has not been avenged, and a new revenge has been added.
It was night, tongues of fire pierced the sky, and a great battle quietly came.
Juan Ou watched from a distance of ten miles, and Liu Huan's order was definitely completed.
Li Ling fought bloodily and was murderous. He led the remaining more than 2,000 warriors, stole the horses of the Huns, and ran all the way south.
Shen Ou and Li Ling converged, and the two teams merged into one and headed south.
"General Annan, the Huns in Jiuyuan City have few troops, and I have found a secret passage to the city. We attacked them from the secret passages, and they were caught off guard. Shen Ou discussed with Li Ling.
Li Ling nodded, "Do what General Xuan intended." ”
Shen Ou shook his head with a smile, "It's just a businessman here, where did you come from?" ”
Arriving on the outskirts of Jiuyuan City, Li Ling and others lurked into the city, and in less than an hour, they recovered Jiuyuan City. At the same time as Li Ling's successful recovery, Shen Ou and others successfully retired and disappeared.
Huang Xu said, "General, which business travelers?"
"Leave him alone, replace the city's flag with ours first. Li Ling instructed, this flag is still prepared for the trial of Europe, and Liu Huan is thoughtful in every detail.
The recovery of Jiuyuan City overnight is a great news that shocks the hearts of the people. When I woke up, it was the banner of the Han who was fluttering, and the people cheered.
When Emperor Xuan of Han received the battle report, his face was softened, and he was still rewarded and punished.
Prime Minister Fan Qian stopped here, and now the real surrender has become a deception in their mouths to wait for the opportunity to turn over, and the cowards a while ago have become heroes in their mouths.
Liu Huan and Li Ying heard such good news as soon as they arrived in Chang'an, Liu Huan was expected, but Li Ying deeply felt that Liu Huan was fast. originally thought that Liu Huan would let her go back to Li Mansion, but he didn't expect Liu Huan to place her in Bowangyuan.
"What are you doing, I'm back in Chang'an, I can't still run!" Li Ying blamed Liu Huan.
Liu Huan held Li Ying's warm body in his arms, which was a habit he had developed these days. Li Ying is petite and exquisite, and in his arms, he is a kitten with teeth and claws. "The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the Li Mansion has experienced the two heavens of life and death, and there are many people who visit! ”
"You don't need me to say hello, if it's also my sister-in-law Qian. But Li Ying thought of the Qian family and really didn't like it.
Liu Huan pinched Li Ying's face, "You make up for it in my house, wait for a few more taels of meat, Li Ling comes back, and I will send you back." He whispered in Li Ying's ear, "This time, you can't run anymore." ”
Li Ying muttered, "How dare I run", I'm afraid that you will attack others. Liu Huan has the ability to save Li Ling, and similarly, he also has the ability to destroy him.
"The west city of Chang'an City has expanded again, and it is much more lively, I will send someone to take you to play. Liu Huan coaxed, "Or maybe I'll take you to hunt in the suburbs, you haven't used the Hufu I gave you last time." ”
The things sent by Liu Huan, Li Yingquan stayed in the wing room of the current Protector's Mansion. It was cold, and she couldn't even get interested. Li Ling can return safely, and she will be satisfied. "I'm tired, I need to recuperate for a few days. We'll talk about it then!"
Li Ying'an stayed by Liu Huan's side, and Liu Huan looked at Li Ying's side face and fell into deep thought.
