"Captured alive!"

There was also a lot of uncertainty in Zhang Yuan's words.

was able to kill Yu Dan, Zhang Yuanzhi felt that it was very likely, but now that he was caught alive, this surprise was really big.

"Yes, captured alive, the one surrounding here is Yu Dan, the prince of the Huns.

The brothers loosened their shields and arrived here, and even if he had wings, he would not be able to run away. ”

After that, the group of soldiers who had been dragging the steel cable loosened the steel cable in a hurry, and the shield was on the ground without strength to support it.

Yu Shan in the middle stared at everyone with a vicious look.

"I advise you to send me back, otherwise my monarch will not let you go!"

Zhang Yuan laughed contemptuously.

"Huh!"

There are so many Huns, others Zhang Yuan doesn't know, just his temperament? Zhang Yuan understands it clearly.

The official history records that he died within a few months after surrendering to the Han Dynasty, saying that he died of illness.

In fact, the spirit was worn out, and then the whole person became a walking corpse.

At this point, he was reluctant to commit suicide, and chose to live in humiliation until the last day, this person's heart is far less ruthless than everyone looks at now.

"Gongsun Ao, tie him up and treat him well."

"The last will understand."

"Send someone to find a Hun head that looks more like him and plant it on my military flag."

"Whoa."

The soldiers below quickly found a Hun head with a hairstyle and hair color that was very similar to Yu Dan's.

After Zhang Yuan asked people to plant it on the military flag, they started shouting.

The content of the shouting is that your Xiongnu Zuoxian King Yu Dan has been killed by the Han ranger general, and if you don't retreat, the ranger general will kill you all and so on.

Over there, the Hun Da Shan Yu was in the king's tent of the military ministers, and everyone had just learned about Yu Dan's arrest, and they were discussing how to rescue Yu Dan, but the news came that Yu Shan had been killed by Zhang Yuan.

The hearts of the military ministers are about to stop, wave after wave, no matter who is difficult to accept.

"Let's talk about it, what are we going to do now?"

"Da Danyu, we should withdraw our troops now, the warriors of the Huns have no intention of fighting now because King Zuo Xian was captured, and the momentum of the Han army is at the top, let them stay on the battlefield, I'm afraid it's just for nothing!"

The person who made this suggestion was Chu Da, who was in the Huns, and occasionally had to make a few correct suggestions, so as to gain the trust of the military ministers.

"Da Shan Yu, Chu Da is right, King Zuo Xian is dead, and people can't be resurrected, we should withdraw our troops first and discuss how to take revenge."

Yi Zhixian is also on Chu Da's side now, Yu Shan is dead, and these Hun armies will be his in the future, he doesn't want the Hun army to be sacrificed in vain.

"Okay, then let's withdraw the troops."

The military minister was hit by such a blow, and the whole person became even older.

The pain of losing a child in old age is really difficult to accept.

The horn of the troops sounded on the battlefield.

The Hun cavalry began to retreat, Zhang Yuan did not order the pursuit, today the Han army lost more than 20,000 people, and the Hun cavalry also lost more than 20,000 people, but Yu Dan was captured.

Therefore, Gongsun Ao's luck is really good, he wants to follow Wei Qing to attack the Aries King, and the credit will definitely not be his.

Although Gongsun Ao can't monopolize the credit of capturing Yu Shan alive now, it has already allowed him to achieve the purpose of this trip.

By the way, he looked at Zhang Yuan's eyes and softened a lot, if Zhang Yuan really didn't let him go, in the end, Yu Dan estimated that it might be this fate, and it would have nothing to do with him at that time.

"Let people clean the battlefield, especially the arrows of the three-bow bed crossbow, they must be collected!"

"Whoa."

Zhang Yuan: There is no material replenishment for them to hold on here, and consumables such as arrows cannot be saved, so there is no way to suppress the pressure brought by the Hun cavalry to the Han army.

After the war, it was quite important for the Han army to gain the initiative to clean up the battlefield.

Everyone on the Han army's side was very excited, eager to end the war immediately and take Yu Shan back to Chang'an City.

But even the smoke from cooking on the Huns' side looked a little sad in it.

Tonight is destined to be a night that cannot be slept peacefully.

The head of the Hun was still hanging on Zhang Yuan's military flag, but the blood had already dried up.

Even with the victory, the Han army did not let down its guard at night.

Sure enough, the Xiongnu sent someone to snatch the head, but it was discovered by the scouts of the Han army in advance.

None of the 1,000 people who came to visit the camp went back.

Soon the next day, the corpses of the Huns who attacked the Han army camp last night had not yet been cleaned up, and as long as the wind blew in the whole valley, it was not a smell of grass, but a strong smell of blood.

The blood that flowed yesterday has frozen this morning.

Places that have not been baptized by war have also condensed with a layer of hoarfrost.

The fog on Yang Mountain drifts through the birch forest, and the green pines can change the color of these trees.

Zhang Yuan really didn't want to wear cold and bulky armor in this ghost prison weather.

However, he had no choice at all, so he honestly put on his armor, but lit a brazier in the military tent to keep warm.

Gongsun He had already rushed over, and the temperature dropped suddenly, and there was no movement on the Huns' side, and it was estimated that they didn't want to start a war in this weather.

This cold air was obviously coming from the north, just across a mountain range, and it was even more difficult for the military ministers to endure than the south of Yinshan.

"The general can't fight in this weather, so I set up scouts in the north and always watch out for the Huns."

Zhang Yuan rubbed his hands together, and then sighed.

"Don't you have the head of the King of Loufu, and hang it up.

The Huns wore thicker clothes than us, and the weather was not good for us, so tell them that the tribe of the king of Loufu has been wiped out by us.

The Aries King has also been on the run, and the former general Wei Qing has been chasing them.

Li Guang is heading north with an army of more than 100,000 troops, and will arrive at Gaoque in the near future, and ask the military ministers if they plan to fight us here, if they have this plan, they can't fight in this weather, but I, Zhang Yuan, can build a fortress here.

Just like his military ministers, they will continue to consume here! ”

"Are you trying to threaten the military ministers to retreat? I don't think the warlord will just retreat, at least until the head of the Aries King appears in front of him. ”

"If he doesn't retreat, then he really builds a fortress.

In this kind of weather, just take the yellow mud to get me a city wall, and when the wind blows, it will be as hard as a stone.

Pass my orders and let the people start building a fortress in Gaoque.

Tomorrow I will see a two-metre-high wall sealing the heights. ”

"Whoa."

Earlier, the temperature was relatively suitable, and the yellow mud mixed with straw to build the city wall would not be too strong in a short time, and it would have to be burned with fire, and if it was burned, it would have to be rebuilt.

But now at least more than ten degrees below zero, the yellow mud paste can be hardened immediately, and it will definitely not work for a long time, and it will definitely not be a big problem to persist for a month or two.

In the past two months, Zhang Yuan can build a stone city wall behind the loess wall.

And now the construction of such a wall can also play a role in keeping warm.

Why not do something that kills two birds with one stone.

Now it may have suffered these people and slaves, but after it was built, they would not be frozen to death at night.

Nearly 100,000 people built the city wall very quickly, and many slave soldiers were originally craftsmen, so they were very handy in doing these jobs.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, a five-mile long, two-meter-wide, and two-meter-high yellow mud city wall rose from the ground.

The military ministers couldn't believe it when they saw it, earlier he thought that the messenger sent by Zhang Yuan was here to threaten him, but Zhang Yuan really built such a city wall.

This city wall happened to give the military ministers a chance to retreat, and Zhang Yuan didn't expect that he gave the military ministers a step.

Fortresses are undesirable for any cavalry.

When Zhang Yuan's men were still perfecting the city wall, the Hun cavalry actually withdrew.

As for where they are going, it is not something that Zhang Yuan needs to consider.

"Ranger General, the Huns have retreated, do we still want to build this wall?"

"Repair, build a fortress, and the city wall should be one zhang high.

In the future, we must send heavy troops to guard this place, so that Hetao and Henan will never be attacked by the Huns again. ”

"Shall we go to Manchester City, then?"

"Wait for the former general to return, and then we'll discuss."

Gongsun He nodded, he was afraid that Zhang Yuan would insist on going north in this weather.

The materials and captives captured by Gongsun He have been escorted back to Chang'an.

Now going north, then the demand for animal fur will increase, and they don't have these things now, and it is better to wait for the weather to warm up if they are transferred from somewhere else.

According to the time, if Wei Qing had met Li Guang, then Li Guang should have arrived in Gaoque a long time ago, but he never saw the Han army from the south.

During this time, just like when Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan first arrived in Gaoque, every day people of different races bumped into Gaoque like headless flies.

Seeing that it was already late February, Zhang Yuan was not patient, so he sent people to Qiuzi City in the south.

Zhang Yuan needs to know a little bit about Li Guang or Wei Qing.

In ancient times, it was really uncomfortable to have unsmooth news about wars, but without dividing troops, it was impossible to maximize the results of the war.

A dilemma.

As a result, the people sent out by Zhang Yuan had not left for a day, and there was a roar from the south.

It's cavalry!

It's Wei Qing who is back.

Zhang Yuan had never looked forward to something so much.

Perhaps deep down in my heart, I hope that the war will end early.

Wei Qing led the cavalry back to Gaoque, and it was stupid.

It had only been about ten days since he left, and suddenly a wall of the city appeared.

The weather in Yangshan has become warmer, so Wei Qing didn't know about the sudden drop in temperature a few days ago, and he didn't even know about the Hun Dadan Yu Junchen coming and leaving.

The traces of the war have been blocked from the outside by this wall.

"Congratulations on the triumphant return of the former general!"

Zhang Yuan was sincerely happy for Wei Qing.

"Haha, the Aries King was so cunning that I played hide and seek with him in the desert and finally forced him to the edge of a lake.

How are you doing here? ”

"Soon after you left, the Xiongnu Dadan Yu military ministers led 200,000 cavalry to come, and the next day they underestimated the enemy, and as a result, we captured the Xiongnu prince Yu Dan alive.

Then God was on our side, and the weather quickly cooled down, and the war could not continue, so I let the soldiers build a fortress here.

The military minister probably felt that there was no hope of a breakthrough, so he left with the army. ”

Wei Qing didn't expect that Gao Que's results here were also so impressive.

At first, I was a little surprised, and then my face was full of smiles.

"Well, I really didn't expect such an unexpected gain."

"By the way, Li Guang and them, the battle is almost over, and I haven't seen those generals yet."

Zhang Yuan was really curious, what happened to make Li Guang and them disappear all the way.

"General Li Guang, they lost supplies, grain and grass in the desert, so they retreated to Qiuzi City to replenish, and they should be able to arrive here tomorrow."

Zhang Yuan was really speechless, this time the harvest was so big, but it was absolutely impossible to have Li Guang's name on the military merit book.

From the beginning to the end, did you not achieve an inch, and brought more than 100,000 people to play Desert Adventure?

"Okay, when General Li Guang and they arrive, let's discuss the march to Manchester City."

"Yes, yes. Just do as you say. ”

Wei Qing's tent had been damaged before, so now the tent is a bit lacking, and everyone can only squeeze it.

But fortunately, the joy of victory diluted everything.

Zhang Yuan discussed with Wei Qing overnight the construction of a city north of Manchester City.

The reason was naturally to move the front to the south, but Zhang Yuan couldn't find a reason before, so Wei Qing didn't agree.

Now that there is such a valid reason, Wei Qing also feels that the war should not be allowed to happen all the time in the territory of the Han Dynasty, so he agrees with this opinion.

The two wrote a letter overnight applying to build a city north of Yinshan and asked them to return to Chang'an City.

At this time, Li Guangbu, who was stationed fifty miles south of Gaoque, also had similar ideas to Zhang Yuan.

This man is the Lord's Father.

However, although the content of his ideas is similar to Zhang Yuan's, his ideas are different.

The master father already knew that the battle was over, but because he followed Li Guang, he didn't get any military merits, and if he returned to Chang'an City like this, he might be punished.

So the master father came up with an idea to turn the tide.

It was suggested that Liu Che set up Shuofang County in the Hetao area and restore Jiuyuan County, Yunzhong County and other counties in the Qin period.

If this suggestion is adopted, the master father will at least have one more suggestion.

I have to say that the master still has some sensitivity to politics.

He didn't have the help of anyone else to come up with this suggestion, and he came up with it one step faster.

Of course, if the master father didn't suggest it, when the results of the battle reached Chang'an, someone would mention it at that time.

The generals don't care about this, so the master can make a time difference.

This gap can lead to an opportunity.

Barely in time, a person with the documents of the master father also went out of the barracks and ran to Chang'an City.

No one doubted that after all, there were countless messengers sent to Chang'an City during this time.
