The long trumpets sounded incessantly, and the army marched away.

And not long after Jiang Hu led his subordinates to leave, a group of Qin army horsemen of no more than three hundred people galloped out from the remnants of the Yin Mountain in the extreme distance, almost every horse had a large string of heads hanging on their buttocks, and several horses still had bulging leather bags on their bodies.

Hearing the sound of the horn of the withdrawal of the troops, the three hundred soldiers continued to whip and beat the war horses under the reprimand of the captain, and the four hooves of the war horses flew with mud and dead grass in the neighing of the war horses, and galloped straight towards the great lake.

"Report ~~ General Yu, Captain Ying has returned safely and is rushing over from the location of the Great Lake!" A horse galloped to Jiang Hu's side, and the soldiers on horseback reported loudly.

"Coming back?" When Jiang Hu heard this, he was overjoyed and asked Jiang Bu to follow the army to continue to move forward, and then he turned around with hundreds of guards to welcome back.

Yingbu is indeed only a school captain, and the martial arts are only level six, but this time the war can come back safely, according to the military merits, at least can be promoted to the fifth level or above, and it is easy for a right man to run away, this military merit is enough to be promoted to the rank of lieutenant in the military camp, and since then he has become a middle and high-level general in the military camp.

The most important thing is that Yingbu is a subordinate of the Marquis of Qinghe, and he has been personally rewarded by the emperor, if he hangs Jiang Hu, he will naturally go back to see the Marquis of Qinghe, so he has been in a very unhappy mood, although the Marquis of Qinghe said that it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies, but if he really doesn't take care of his death, the Marquis of Qinghe will definitely be unhappy, this is human nature, what he says and what he thinks in his heart will definitely not be exactly the same.

Therefore, since the beginning of the war, Jiang Hu has always kept Yingbu by his side, and when he saw the opportunity to kill, he would arrange Yingbu to pick up the cheap and grab the credit, but Yingbu is indeed as Chen Xu said, strong in martial arts and thoughtful, not only killing the enemy powerfully, but also watching and listening to all directions, and also blocked an arrow for Jiang Hu in the battle of the Hun royal court, although the arrow penetrated the two layers of cowhide armor and was only a skin injury, but it still scared Jiang Hu's soul, if it wasn't for Yingbu to block it for him, that arrow is estimated to hit his neck, It was obviously a marksman from the Xiongnu royal court who wanted to snipe him, the supreme general of Great Qin.

Therefore, for Yingbu, Jiang Hu has both a heart of gratitude and gratitude, and a sense of repayment to the Marquis of Qinghe.

Yingbu's life and death can be said to have made him entangled for five whole days, and he regretted very much that he agreed to let Yingbu chase the fleeing Hun nobles.

Jiang Hu's horse whip whipped wildly, and the four hooves of the war horse flew past the neatly marching Great Qin soldiers next to him, and all the soldiers couldn't help but look at their general's excited expressions and were puzzled.

Yingbu was also leading three hundred untidy and muddy subordinates to gallop towards him, all of them looking extremely tired, many of them still had swords and arrows wounded, and some even tied themselves to their horses with vines, staggering in the run, and the whole team seemed to have reached the point where it could no longer be supported.

Five hundred when they went, more than three hundred when they returned, and almost everyone was wounded.

Yingbu's head was wrapped in sackcloth, and the blood that poured out had solidified and blackened.

Looking at the oncoming Jiang Hu, Yingbu pulled the reins, the galloping war horse slowly stopped, and the soldiers behind him also slowed down.

"General, Yingbu is slow to return, please punish the general!" Yingbu jumped off the horse, staggered and knelt on one knee in front of Jiang Hu.

"What a crime the British lieutenant has, please get up quickly!" Jiang Huma jumped off the horse before he could stop, stepped forward to help Yingbu up, and after a bear hug enthusiastically, he looked Yingbu up and down, and found that there were at least more than ten arrows on the leather armor on his body, and there were coagulated blood in many places.

"Captain Ying volunteered to go after the Huns that day, and he suffered so many arrows, he must have fought several battles with the enemy, and he was really a real warrior!" Jiang Hu patted Yingbu's shoulder and praised loudly, and couldn't help but smile with joy on his face.

"It was indeed a series of hard battles, but in the end, I let my subordinates catch up, killing nearly five hundred people along the way, and the group of fleeing Hun nobles also killed two, and the head subordinates have brought back!" Yingbu arched his hand and said.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back, the sons and daughters are suffering, all the injured will be arranged here for treatment and care first, and then return to the barracks when some are recovered, and the military merits of others will be arranged for the military officials to register, this battle, everyone has great merit, and after going back, it will be natural to reward meritorious deeds!"

Jiang Hu helped up a group of soldiers behind Yingbu one by one, especially a few of them who were seriously injured, almost to the point of running out of oil and lamps, and it is estimated that they will last less than a day without treatment.

"General Xie!" All the soldiers bowed together, and then their own guards went to inform the accompanying healers and nurses to come and treat and redress the wounds of the wounded soldiers.

And when the doctor untied the armor on these people's bodies, he found that they were almost covered with scaly wounds, and many of them still had arrows stuck in their bodies, and the same was true for Yingbu, who had a heavy wound on his back and right leg, and the arrows were still stuck in the flesh and blood, but fortunately the weather was cold at the moment and there was no inflammation, otherwise if it was spring and summer, these wounds would be enough to kill.

After a busy hour, Yingbu and a group of soldiers who had disappeared for five or six days were properly treated and settled, and those who were seriously injured and unable to move were left in the camp next to the Great Lake and let the officials in charge of supervising the construction of the slaves arrange for someone to take care of them, and after a few days of recovery, they were sent back to the barracks by carriage, and the rest of them could still hold out and move with the large army.

"Captain Ying, that day I ordered that if you can't catch up, you will return immediately, but you have been chasing after you, if you have a good one, let Ben go back How to explain to Qinghe Hou?" After catching up with the large army, Jiang Hu and Yingbu rode at the end, and Jiang Hu complained a little while walking.

"The general forgives the sin, the heavy snow fell that day, so soon after entering the mountain lost, can only follow the front of the Huns' horses' hooves continue to chase, has been chasing for a day and a night, after the snow stopped, only to find that it has been deep in the mountains for hundreds of miles, and then was discovered by the Huns, after several battles, the Huns killed and wounded hundreds, the school also suffered hundreds of casualties, the crossbow arrows were almost exhausted, but did not dare to return, afraid that once lost in the mountains will be more dangerous, so the subordinates had to lead Erlang to continue to deal with the Huns, A day later, the Huns also ran out of arrows, we only had a hand-to-hand fight with the Huns, fortunately thanks to the harness and blades, although the Huns were savage, but they were still scattered by our killing, and then only the two nobles were killed, and the others either fled to the deep mountains and dense forests or escaped into the desert along a trail across the Yin Mountain......"

"There is a trail in the mountains that leads to the desert?" Jiang Hu was surprised.

"Yes, although the mountain road from which the Huns fled was rugged and difficult, it was indeed a small road, and along the way, I could see some barbarians picking wild fruits on the mountain, and after passing through the mountain, I actually saw a group of strange people with red hair and high noses......"

"Hahahaha~"

As soon as Ying Bu said this, a group of guards who followed Jiang Hu laughed, and even Jiang Hu couldn't help but laugh and said: "Captain Ying, those are not strange people, but the people of the Yue Clan, but the remnants of the Yu tribe of the Ancient Yan Emperor, all of them are red-haired and bearded, with high noses and deep eyes, which are very different from the people of my Central Plains, after the Yellow Emperor conquered the Yan Emperor, the Yu clan fled to the west, and there have been several battles with my Great Qin before, but they were all beaten like wild dogs, and now they can only hide in the desert on the back of Yin Mountain!" ”

"I see! The subordinates are from Chudi, the ancestors live in the southeast, and they are not familiar with the miscellaneous Hu and Qiang Rong tribes in the northwest place, thank you for the general's puzzle today, otherwise you will have to make a joke after returning to Xianyang, and when you see it that day, your subordinates thought it was a monster! Yingbu said with a red face.

"Hahahaha, don't blame it, don't blame it, the Yu family is actually my Chinese ancestors, but they are barbaric and disobedient to the king...... By the way, I'm going to see how much loot you brought back, but what was in those leather bags? ”

Riding the horses and talking as they walked, Jiang Hu asked with a smile as he pointed to the package that Yingbu was trapped on the backs of the two horses.

"Oh, this is the subordinate from those Xiongnu nobles and the Yue clan people snatched from the hands of those Xiongnu nobles and the Yue people, there are gold, silver and jade, and a bag of black bean-like things, the smell is fragrant, and the entrance is spicy, I heard that Hou Ye likes to make delicious food and also likes to collect all kinds of spices, so I specially brought it back to Hou Ye to see if I can make delicious food, oh, this is the kind of thing......"

Yingbu took out a handful of black plant seeds from his pocket and handed them to Jiang Hu, Jiang Hu took them and looked at them, threw two more and chewed them in his mouth a few times before nodding slightly: "Yes, spicy and full of fragrance, very refreshing, it should be a very valuable spice!" ”

"What the general said is that these inconspicuous things are not willing to be discarded by those nobles when they die, they are very valuable, I don't know them, but if you take them back, you may know at a glance!"

"Qinghe Hou is good at making food, he must like your gift, it seems that after I go back, I will also arrange for someone to go to those nobles' spoils to look for it, see if there are any things that are not available in the Central Plains, prepare some to send to Qinghe Hou, maybe you can get a meal......"

"It's extreme, it's been more than two months, I've eaten dry naan and drank cold water every day, or I just ate those roasted half-cooked beef and mutton, compared with the delicious food made by Hou Ye, it's like cow dung, it's really hard to eat, after returning to Xianyang this time, I must go to the Qinghe Hotel to eat a big meal to satisfy my hunger......"

"Yes, don't forget to call the general when the time comes!"

"Don't worry, General!"
