Chapter 199: Lost General
Zhang Yuan, Wei Qing, and all the Han army had to do was wait in Gaoque.
Composure is necessary.
What to do in case of a rash attack and not finding the main forces of the Huns.
Gaoque did not have a main army to defend it, so what should I do if it was broken through by the Huns.
What Zhang Yuan told Liu Che at the beginning was to annihilate the tribes of the King of Lou and the King of Aries.
It doesn't matter if some inconsequential people run away, and no one will bother with Zhang Yuan.
If the two walking marquis titles of King Lou and King Aries run away, this can still be called a total annihilation, of course it can't.
The wait is always boring, but the good thing is that there are always hundreds of heads coming in every day.
Wei Qing captured some Huns alive and wanted to ask how far the battle situation 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 Xiongnu languages.
This time, I should also bring a few Hun guides, but I didn't think about how important it was to bring an interpreter for the sake of secrecy.
For a people who do not have written words or books, it is more than one level more difficult for others to learn their language.
However, the Huns were also reluctant to learn other people's languages, and of course the high-ranking people knew Chinese, but the following big-headed soldiers might be able to understand it, but it was too difficult to communicate with them.
"Brother Qing, it's been five days, should we send some scouts south?"
Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing rode to a relatively high place in the Yinshan Mountain Range.
Here you can overlook the desert to the south, and sometimes you can see some black dots moving, which are all panicked Qiang or Huns.
"No, if General Li Guang and them go well, the scouts we send out will also directly knock down the Huns.
If they don't go well, the Huns are already attacking the Great Wall in Shangjun, and we still can't find General Li Guang when we send out scouts.
And we have to guard against threats from the north. β
Wei Qing sent out scouts during the period to see what was going on with Manchester City.
But when the scouts looked at it, Touman City had become an empty city, and it seemed that the Huns knew that there were a large number of Han cavalry around, so they moved north en masse.
Anyway, they are nomadic people, as long as there is water and grass, they live the same everywhere.
However, Wei Qing noticed one thing from this point, there are only two possibilities for the Huns to do this.
The first is to completely give up the king of Lou Fu and the king of Aries.
The second is that they intended to go south to besiege the Han army, so they first let all the surrounding Xiongnu tribes evacuate.
This is also a common tactic of the Huns, and the reason why the Han people are defeated by the Huns is because they cannot be found in the steppe.
That's why the Huns have been using such a tactic to empty the Huns in an area, and the Han people can't find any trace of the Huns.
That's what Wei Qing is worried about, and what he's worried about now is indeed right.
When the military minister was determined to go south to support the Aries King, he immediately sent someone to tell all the Xiongnu tribes along the way to stay away from this place.
Moreover, he also sent people to the Hun Evil King Hugh Tu King, so that the Hun Evil King and the Hun Tu King also sent troops to attack the Han Dynasty.
"Don't think about it so much, even if Li Guang is useless, he won't delay for long.
Don't forget how many troops they have in their hands, and the ducks have also driven the King of Lou Fu and the King of Aries over. β
What Zhang Yuan had been worried about for a long time finally came true.
Li Guang, this guy is especially lost again.
When he set off, he and Gongsun He divided into two branches, chasing the Aries King all the way and the Lou Fu King all the way.
Li Guang took Li Xi and his master father Yan to chase after the Aries King, but was accidentally taken into the desert.
The Taixue students immediately suggested that they should go out of the desert first, and then send scouts to surround the edge of the desert, and as soon as the Aries King's tribe came out, they could execute the duck chasing tactics.
How could Li Guang listen to the words of a stinky student who had successfully lost himself in the desert with his years of experience.
As for the Aries King, he didn't know where to run for a long time.
Gongsun He's side was quite smooth, and he was about to annihilate all the members of King Loufu.
didn't even need Wei Qing's help, King Lou Fu rushed to Xihe County one by one, and Gongsun He let him rush.
As a result, there were still 20,000 border troops waiting for King Lou Fu in Xihe County, and more than 100,000 people together surrounded King Lou Fu with a tribe.
Gongsun Ao, who was with Gongsun He, was about to smile on his face, when he really wanted to be a marquis, no matter who could stop him.
Li Guang took Li Xi and his master father Yan to come out of the desert with great difficulty, and the personnel were directly halved.
In order to prevent the news from being revealed, Li Guang killed the Taixue students who made suggestions at the beginning.
The reason is very simple, this student did not lead the way well, so that the army suffered such a big loss.
The other students who remained under Li Guang's hands were silent one by one, and they didn't dare to say anything more.
As for Li Xi's brows, he was just frowning, in their army, Li Guang was still the main force, and Li Xi could only sigh in his heart that he was unlucky.
The master father Yan was happy for a while when he saw this scene, he felt that the Taixue students were all Zhang Yuan's protΓ©gΓ©s, and it was best to kill all the world before it would be peaceful.
"General, what should we do next, now that the Aries King and his tribe have lost a trace.
Could it be that this time we will return in vain? Do you know how much your Majesty hopes for this war? β
Although Li Xi tolerated Li Guang's killing of Taixue's students, he did not blindly endure it.
The attitude is directly placed here, you killed people, and now you have to come up with an idea whether to retreat or fight as the main general.
As for Li Guang's attitude, he must not retreat.
With such a big responsibility, he lost so many people without even touching the ass of the Huns, and put all the responsibility on Zhang Yuan?
Liu Che is not a fool, even if the advice given by the Taixue student is wrong, don't you, Li Guang, as the master, have no ability to judge yourself at all.
"Continue to send people out to find out the traces of the Aries King.
Didn't those Taixue students boast that they wouldn't get lost in the desert, and sent them all out to me! β
As soon as Li Guang's words came out, the faces of the Taixue students who were assigned to Li Guang's command turned white.
What does this have to do with getting lost?
This is to let them take human lives to fill in, and now Henan and Hetao areas are full of Huns and Qiang people fleeing in all directions.
These students leave the protection of the army, even if their personal force is not weak, but the enemy will definitely act alone?
"General Li, you are deliberately taking revenge!
I won't go to the Aries King, I'll be back to Qiuzi City in a while, and I must tell Taixue Ling what you did!" β
A cold light flashed in Li Guang's eyes, and he took out the long sword in his waist and stabbed the arguing student in the abdomen at once.
"Those who disobey military orders, behead!"
These students have really experienced the greatest danger in the world.
was first fed poison by Zhang Tang, and now he has met a general like Li Guang.
Rigid and self-serving, arrogant and unaware.
Now think about Zhang Yuan, compared to these people, he is really a good person. happy
The whole army was silent.
Who would have thought that Li Guang, who is known for loving soldiers like a son, would have such a cold-blooded side.
If this strength of reversing black and white is used to deal with the Huns, it will not be mixed up like now.
About twenty Taixue students were sent out by Li Guang in this way, and a considerable number of them did not go to find traces of the Huns.
They found a relatively safe place to hide, this group of people is smart, when they return to Qiuzi City, they will escape and disobey the military order, and Li Guang will still be able to kill them at that time.
Now hide first, and then go back after a while, and say that there is no trace of the Huns.
If Li Guang does it again when the time comes, it will really be untenable, and it is impossible for Li Xi to let such a thing happen in front of his eyes again.
killed his officers without any reason, you must know that the Taixue students are not ordinary soldiers, they are all Liu Chefeng's officers.
In the absence of 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 for the flowers in Yinshan Gaoque, were cold, and finally waited for Gongsun He and Gongsun Ao in the midst of boredom.
Successfully joined a team, Wei Qing was still happy.
But I didn't feel comfortable listening to it in my heart, because I didn't see the Huns being driven here.
"What the hell is going on in Henan?"
As soon as Wei Qing saw Gongsun He, he threw out the question.
"The only one who went to plunder the bait was the Aries King.
In order to save time, and also in order not to give Lou Fuwang time to react.
I consulted with General Li Guang and asked him to send troops to attack the Aries King tribe.
I led half of the army to attack the King of Lou Fu directly, and I originally thought that I would drive the King of Lou Fu to Gaoque.
As a result, they kept running east, as if they knew that you were in Yinshan.
So I followed them to Xihe County, and exterminated the department of the King of Lou Fu outside the Great Wall of Xihe County.
King Lou was killed on the spot, and some of them were killed in battle.
How. Has Li Guang not yet led the troops?
They should have made contact with the Aries King sooner, you must know that the Aries King is heading south, and I ran with the army for a few days before I saw the banner of the King of Loufu. β
The situation is the same as what Gongsun He said, the king of Aries went south to plunder the envoys, Li Guang led the army to rush a little, and the two sides could meet in one day, but there was no news yet, how could others not be anxious.
"There's nothing I can do about it, just keep waiting patiently.
But fortunately, with you here, our two armies are in one place, even if the Xiongnu Dadanyu leads the army south, we are not afraid of them. β
Wei Qing said it very easily, but there is a very real problem.
If the military ministers don't attack the Han army at all, but are stationed in the head of Manchester City in front of you, then what should Wei Qing do.
Consumption, the big man can't afford it.
Once Wei Qing chooses to withdraw his troops, the Xiongnu Dadanyu will be able to immediately go south to recover the Hetao area, and Henan can be left unwanted.
In the future, it was much simpler for the Xiongnu to defend only one loop.
Originally, Zhang Yuan's plan was to take down the Aries King and the Lou Fu King, and then attack the next Manchester City.
Maintain the connection between Gaoque and Toumancheng, the Xiongnu Dadan Yu can only retreat, and the key to the battle is still the city.
After waiting for another two days, at this time, the Xiongnu Dadan Yu had gathered 200,000 cavalry and had already driven towards Yinshan.
However, a student of Taixue, after breaking away from Li Guang's army, immediately thought about coming to Yinshan.
A really smart person is like that, and this student is more intelligent and intelligent than those who are hiding.
This is not a violation of military orders, and it can be regarded as a great achievement.
The student's name is Barao, and Zhang Yuan didn't have a deep impression of this student before.
Yan Yi reminded him several times before Zhang Yuan remembered this student.
"Barao, you said you came from General Li Guang, you tell me what happened.
Did General Li Guang send you here to find the former general? β
In the big tent, all the generals gathered, Wei Qing, Su Jian, Zhang Cigong, Gongsun He, Gongsun Ao, including Zhang Yuan, all grew up and stared at this student.
"Back to the Taixue Order, there was indeed an accident in our army.
After we engaged the Hun cavalry under the command of the King of Aries, the Huns were defeated and chose to flee.
Then they fled into the desert, and we followed. β
Henan is such a big desert, otherwise Zhang Yuan would not have used that desert as the first stage of the trial.
All 100 students passed the trial, indicating that they were familiar with the desert, and Zhang Yuan really didn't think that Li Guang would have problems in the desert.
"Go on."
"After entering, the army was a little unable to find the Huns.
Senior Bai Xian suggested to General Li Guang that he would first take the army out, and then send some scouts to watch some entrances and exits of the desert, so that the traces of the Huns could be quickly determined.
However, General Li Guang disagreed, and insisted on looking for the Huns in the desert, but in the end they could not find anything, and we did not bring enough water, so many people died of thirst in the desert. β
"Didn't you know there was an oasis in the middle of the desert?
How can there be a lack of water? β
"General Li Guang said that finding the Xiongnu is the most important thing."
"Damn, stupid Γ!"
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but burst out directly.
Made's has never been found in the desert, so where else can the Aries King be?
It must be an oasis in the middle of the desert, with a city to defend and a water source.
Zhang Yuan understood Li Guang's mood of wanting to chase into the desert, and he couldn't be wrong in doing so, but when he knew that there was an oasis in the desert, he didn't go to explore it but searched hard in the yellow sand, this is not stupidΓ what is this.
This guy has nothing to do with God getting lost, it's just that he is too obsessed, too much of a bull's horn and doesn't listen to others' persuasion.
"And then?"
Barao was taken aback by Zhang Yuan, stopped, and did not continue.
"Then we came out of the desert, and the army was almost half attritional.
General Li Guang killed Senior Bai Xian, and then asked us Taixue students to leave the army to find traces of the Huns.
I knew that if a person went to the Huns, he would be sent to death, and he could not bring the news back, and the sacrifice was completely useless.
So I thought that I should find Taixue Ling and the former general first. β
At this time, Wei Qing, who had not spoken, also opened his mouth, but instead of asking about Li Guang's situation, he said something else.
"You will be under my account in the future, and you don't need to go back to General Li Guang."
Barao was immediately overjoyed.
"The last general thanked the former general!"
