Chapter 15: Gradual Expansion
When Huyanmo appeared in front of the military ministers with more than a thousand surviving Hun children, the anger that had dissipated in the hearts of the military ministers reunited.
"Huyanmo, what the hell is going on?"
The military minister asked Hu Yanmo with an almost roar.
With a sad look on his face, Hu Yanmo turned over from the war horse and half-knelt in front of the military minister and said.
"Back to Da Danyu, only these children are left in our tribe who were slaughtered by the Han cavalry."
When the military minister heard this, he almost didn't fall off the war horse, and in the past few days, the Huns under his command had happened one after another things that were unimaginable in the past.
These things were serious enough to threaten his dominance.
"Was the high priest also killed by the Han Chinese?"
Huyan Momune shook his head.
"High Priest he, he was taken away by the Han Chinese.
The children said that the high priest was there to protect them from being killed, and he came forward and confessed his identity, which saved the children. ”
In his opinion, the high priest of the Xiongnu was killed by the Han people as the best result, and being captured alive was tantamount to adding humiliation to the Xiongnu clan.
"Huyan Mo, you pacify these children, they will all become eagles on the grassland in the future, avenge their parents and ancestors.
Yu Shan, you take a large army and immediately return to Wolf Juxu Mountain, and move all the tribes to Dragon City.
Wolf abruptly, you are taking people to set up a tent, I am a little tired and want to rest. ”
At this moment, Yu Shan did not respond to the order of the military minister, but said to the military minister.
"Father, please let Erchen lead a cavalry to pursue those Han cavalry, and Erchen will definitely bring all their heads to Longcheng to forge a Jingguan to comfort the souls of the dead."
The military minister frowned, but he endured no anger, he only hoped that some of his subordinates were obedient soldiers, even his own son could not be an exception.
"Look at the dragon city has now been burned to a ruin by the fire, and even the smoke can no longer be seen, which means that the Han cavalry has been gone for a day.
This place is only a thousand miles away from Yanmen County, and 800 miles away from Dai County, and the cavalry can enter the Han land in one day.
When you catch up, everyone has already returned to the Great Wall, and in the future, you will do things with less talk, more action, more watch and more listening. ”
Yu Shan was deflated by the military minister, then lowered his head and said softly.
"Father is right, and his son is also angry, so he was negligent."
The military minister nodded and said to Yu Dan.
"Go back to Wolf Juxu Mountain to move the tribe here, and the supplies of our army are only enough to last for half a month."
"Yes."
As the military minister said, even if they were driving cattle, sheep and horses, Wei Qing and them ran all the way and rushed back to Daijun when the military minister arrived in Longcheng.
Although he rushed back, at least he had to pass through the central lieutenant of Daijun to guard the city and be safe.
Therefore, the Qimen army did not slow down, and galloped all the way towards the county seat.
Hurried and hurried before dark, and finally arrived, Xue Ren ran to the county seat first.
"Hurry up and open the city gate, we are the Han army."
The defenders of the city had long seen thousands of cavalry rushing towards the county town, so the central lieutenants had already put on their stubborn tendencies and were waiting for them on the city walls.
"I'm Sima Wang Ye under the command of the Central Governor, whose subordinate are you?"
The official position of the central lieutenant is the same as Wei Qing's cavalry lieutenant, and Sima Wang Ye of this army is naturally at the same level as Gongsun Ao, and he is a general of 1,000 stones.
But Xue Ren returned victoriously and added his net worth, so he didn't take this person seriously.
"I am Xue Ren, the Qu army of the period gate army, our period gate army is alone in the hinterland of the Huns, and now thousands of thieves have been killed, so don't you open the city gate quickly and let us go in to rest."
The military Sima Wang Ye on the city wall and the central lieutenant Li Zhi's faces suddenly became a little unsightly, and a Qu army was now shouting in front of them.
There were twenty Qu soldiers like Xue Ren under Li Zhi.
Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan saw that Xue Ren couldn't open the city gate for a long time, so they led the troops forward.
"Xue Ren, why haven't they opened the city gate yet?"
Xue Ren touched his head and said inexplicably.
"I don't know, general, I've already reported the name of our Qimen Army, but the people on the city wall are as silent as dumb."
Wei Qing looked up at the Han army on the city wall, and rode forward and shouted loudly at the city.
"I am the general of the Qimen Army, Captain Wei Qing, our army entered the hinterland of the Huns to fight, and the march has been really tired, and I hope that the general who has become the town guard will open the city gate and let us enter the city to rest for a day, and we will leave early tomorrow morning."
Li Zhi and Wang Ye looked down at the city one after another, and only when they saw that Wei Qing was sincere in what he said opened their mouths to say.
"General Ben has heard of your name Wei Qing, but because he has been guarding the border pass, he didn't have time to return to Chang'an, so he didn't expect to meet here."
When Xue Ren heard Li Zhi's reply, the dissatisfaction in his heart instantly rose, and he shouted to the city in front of Wei Qing.
"So you can speak, why didn't you open the city gate when I asked you to open it?"
When Wei Qing heard Xue Ren say this, he immediately glared at him.
"Xue Ren shut up for me."
Xue Ren didn't react at once, shouldn't his own people be unanimous to the outside world, pointing to Li Zhi on the city wall and said.
"General, he provoked me first."
After Zhang Yuan listened to it, a bunch of black lines instantly appeared on his forehead.
"Li Jian tied this sand sculpture to me."
Li Jian had already seen that Xue Ren was unhappy, and when he heard Zhang Yuan's words, he rubbed his hands together and laughed, took a hemp rope from the war horse and ran to Xue Ren and passed.
Xue Ren still didn't understand what was going on, and kept shouting.
"Changshi, I, Xue Ren, have offended you.
Made, wasn't that grandson on the city wall the first to provoke me? ”
"Take him down for me."
Zhang Yuan didn't care about Xue Ren's nonsense, and ordered directly to Li Jian.
Li Jian's martial arts are basically only lower than Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao in the period gate army, and it is simple to clean up Xue Ren.
Seeing that Xue Ren was taken away by Li Jian, Wei Qingcai hugged his fist at Li Zhi on the city wall very apologetically.
"Captain Li, forgive me, it's me who didn't discipline me well.
That kid just now was the son of Xue Ze, the Marquis of Guangping, and he was arrogant.
It's only been half a year since I cleaned him up, and I thought I had subdued this kid, but I didn't expect to win the battle and return to the way it was. ”
These guards stationed at the border pass have seen a lot of strange things, and occasionally when they are bored, they will make jokes about Chang'an City, and by the way, they will say a few sour words about why they don't have that good life.
"It's okay, please also ask General Wei Qing to present your seal letter for the general to see."
As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, a hanging basket was lowered from the city wall.
The rules are like this, Wei Qing didn't have the slightest opinion, took out the seal letter from his arms and put it in the hanging basket.
Immediately, the soldiers on the city wall pulled up the basket, and Li Zhi looked at it carefully for a few times before ordering and shouting.
"Open the gates."
