Chapter 19: It's over

Gongsun He and Wei Qing immediately put away their smiles.

The wicked have their own evildoers, and there is no need to compete with Han Anguo for a while.

"General Tun died, some people are probably happy in their hearts, don't talk about others."

Li Xi immediately turned back to the past, if it was really Han Anguo's mistake that made the Xiongnu Da Danyu lead his troops to break through, in fact, the first wave of people in the pit were Li Xi and Li Guang.

It was only at that time that Li Xi and Li Guang did not adapt to the situation and did not harden with the Huns, which avoided huge losses for the soldiers under their hands.

"Now that the envoy of the Son of Heaven has not yet arrived at Letou Mountain, this general is still your superior, as long as I am still in this position for a day, it will be disrespectful for you to do so."

After Han Anguo said this, no one refuted him, and suddenly the room fell silent.

Gongsun He, as the most advantageous among the several people, had no choice but to stand up and ask Wei Qing.

"Where has the Captain taken the Qimen army these days? Why hasn't there been any news or sent to inform us? ”

When you come back, you will definitely be interrogated, not to mention that there are such big variables in the battle of Mayi now.

Wei Qing thought for a moment, and then opened his mouth to say to everyone in the hall.

"After successfully luring the Xiongnu army to the valley outside the city of Mayi, Zhang Changshi and I led 2,500 horsemen deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu and rushed directly to the Xiongnu Dragon City, which was thousands of miles away.

There, the Menmen army slaughtered a Xiongnu tribe, killed more than 3,800 Xiongnu soldiers, captured the Xiongnu high priest alive, and brought back more than 20,000 cattle and sheep and 1,000 war horses.

The high priest of the Xiongnu is now being imprisoned in the camp of the Qimen army, and those cattle, sheep and horses are driven by the second song army of the Qimen army, Hou Xue Ren, and it is estimated that they will be able to drive back to Titou Mountain tomorrow. ”

Without the slightest concealment, Wei Qing told everyone in the hall the results of the Qimen Army's trip.

Gongsun He immediately said with a wry smile.

"We have killed tens of thousands of Huns, and there is only one of them."

The Xiongnu Dadan has a total of four kings under his direct subordinates, the left and right Xian kings, and the left and right Xian kings are the left and right Gu Li kings.

Pi Xiaowang is just one of the officers among the twenty-four chiefs under these kings, although his status is very high, but there are not hundreds of such figures under the Xiongnu Dadan.

It is conceivable that the Qimen army captured a high priest who symbolized the spirit of the Huns, and what impact it had on these generals.

This time the Hun army went out, and the military ministers did not notify the left and right kings and the left and right kings of Guli at all, and only brought the generals under their command, and the two with the highest status were the military ministers and Yu Dan.

It doesn't make much sense for the rest to be caught.

Han Anguo sneered very inappropriately at this moment.

"I don't know the identity of the high priest of the Huns you caught? It's not to get credit and deceive us and Your Majesty. ”

Zhang Yuan immediately spoke up at this time.

"If this matter is true or not, don't bother the protector general, Your Majesty will find out in the end.

Even if that person is not the high priest of the Huns, but his tribe can garrison the Hun Dragon City, he must not be a simple person. ”

Han Anguo was silent again and stopped talking.

Li Xi finally said to Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan at this time.

"Since the whole army has returned to the camp, tomorrow we will count all the casualties and captures, and then write down the situation of this battle, and send a special person to present it to Your Majesty."

Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan immediately agreed.

Just now, Gongsun Ao had already told the two of them that Han Anguo wanted to put the responsibility on the Qimen Army, and he didn't know how it damaged Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing in that report.

As for the others, when they didn't see what the situation was really about, they wouldn't go to speak for the Gate Army for some incomprehensible things.

If you want to prove your innocence, you can only rely on Wei Qing and them.

"The last general knows, and this will be counted when I go back later."

After hastily ending this inquiry, Zhang Yuan and the three returned to their barracks.

For the period gate army, the battle has been won, Zhang Yuan simply calculated, the period gate army up and down the battle killed just over 300 soldiers, but has captured more than 5,500 Hun soldiers.

Although there was a lot of water in it, it was a completely one-sided slaughter at the time of Dragon City, and many Hun men were killed by the Qimen army before they took up arms.

As for Gongsun Ao, if it weren't for the fact that the attention of the Hun cavalry had been on Li Guang, it would be impossible for those five hundred people to kill so many people.

Zhang Yuan estimated that the 3,000 Gate Army could fight against about 5,000 Hun cavalry, and it would be difficult to win if there were more people, and even if it did, it would be a disastrous victory.

"Li Jian, send a tun of people, twelve hours a day to look after the high priest of the Huns, no one is allowed to neglect, and no one is allowed to visit.

Without my general's order, even if the protector general is here, he will not be allowed to enter. ”

Wei Qing's only concern now was that the high priest of the Huns was missing, so he gave an order to Li Jian as soon as he returned.

"The last general will obey orders."

Li Jian clenched his fists and promised, and went down to prepare for manpower.

Gongsun Ao was actually very interested in this Hun high priest, and originally wanted to take a look as soon as he came back, but Wei Qing attached so much importance to it that he didn't mention it.

The process of waiting for the Son of Heaven to send someone to come was very long.

A whole 180,000 men and horses were crowded on this tired mountain, consuming countless grains and grass every day, waiting for people to be sent from above.

About 20 days later, the messenger finally came to Chang'an.

Zhang Yuan and the three of them followed Han Anguo, and they immediately rushed to the pass of the Great Wall to greet them.

From a distance, Zhang Yuan saw a team of people waiting at the bottom of the mountain.

When he got closer, Zhang Yuan recognized this person.

The person sent by Liu Che was Shaofu Ling Chu Da, because Han Anguo was here, only Tian Wei could overpower him, but Tian Wei could not come here.

Therefore, the person who was sent was not one of the Jiuqing, at least it had to be an official of 2,000 stones, and everyone originally guessed that someone from the Zhongjun Mansion might be sent, but it turned out that someone from the Shaofu came.

"Chu Da has seen the generals."

As soon as they met, Chu Da bowed to Han Anguo and them.

Everyone returned the salute.

Then Chuda got off his horse and spoke to the crowd.

"Your Majesty did not send me to Tired Mountain this time to thoroughly investigate the Battle of Mayi.

It is to pass on His Majesty's message, summon the generals to return to Beijing to report on their work, and by the way, to bury General Tun and order Wang Hui. ”

Li Xi frowned and asked Chu Da.

"Shaofu Order, did Your Majesty say what to do with these hundreds of thousands of troops?"

Chu Da squinted and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty said that the arrangement of the general is very good, and the 50,000 troops arranged inside and outside the Great Wall do not need to move.

It was still stationed in place in case the Huns counterattacked, and as for the rest of the army, it was spring day, so return to the garrison early so as not to miss the spring ploughing.

And all the soldiers of the Qimen Army still returned to the station next to the Jianzhang Palace. ”

Han Anguo breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and he felt that he might have avoided this time.

Although Li Xi was a little resentful, he did not dare to disobey Liu Che's will.

"In that case, let's go back and clean up and return to Chang'an tomorrow."

Han Anguo was afraid that something else would happen, so he immediately said to Chu Da.
