However, he said that Dou Gu returned to the military chariot division, and still made Geng Gong the vanguard, but seeing Geng Gong's 300 soldiers, countless casualties, and only Shi Xiu, Zhang Feng and other more than ten horsemen remained, he couldn't help but say sadly: "It is said that one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, although Yan Ran has strangled the stone today, but the soldiers are five or six out of ten, and their families are looking forward to returning, how can I explain to them?" ”

Geng Bingdao: "People must die, let alone war?" The corpse of the soldier's horse leather is the supreme glory, it is better than the death of ordinary mortals, there is no way, so I have to wait until I return to the division after the triumph, the emperor, the heroes, and the world, so that the dead warriors can rest in peace in the vast grassland. ”

Dou Gu nodded yes and asked Geng Gong: "Geng Gong, you only have more than ten horsemen, so you go to each battalion to pick up a hundred warriors." To attack the driver, you also need to build a bridge in the water and open the road in the mountains. Geng Gong received the order, and galloped into the battalions with Wu Meng, Fan Qiang, Li Kang and others, and recalled the soldiers who had attacked Shangyuan. These soldiers, originally the people on the border of Liangzhou, because of the invasion of the Xiongnu, the family was ruined, and Wu Meng and Li Dang fell into the grass as a coward, and then followed Geng Gong.

Gathered 300 soldiers, Geng Gong jumped on horse, and led the crowd to advance. Geng Bingxiang sent him off and asked: "My brother is bold and overlooked, but you must be careful, the last time you attracted 100,000 Huns with 300 soldiers, it was because King Huyan was too cautious, suspicious and less decided, if you change to other generals, regardless of it, blindly rush to kill, it is not very dangerous." ”

Geng Gong said: "Brother, marching and fighting, it was originally a licking steel knife, a little careless, it will bleed and die, I heard that the plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, the decisive battle with the enemy, see the opportunity to act, how can you be afraid?" Former Wei Qing and Huo Quai, who were able to fight in the desert, in addition to being wise and brave, they also had the favor of providence. ”

Geng Bing knew that what Geng Gong said was reasonable, so he was silent, and after a while, he said: "I saw that my brother's left hand was faintly bloodstained, and his movement was a little inconvenient, but why?" Geng Gong said: "These small injuries are nothing. Even if he has no hands or feet, he can cut through solid rocks and cross deep water. "Where can Geng Bing rest assured? After repeatedly asking about the injury, Geng Gong said one by one:

Receiving Dou Gu's general order to stop the pursuit, Geng Gong ordered Wu Meng and Li Dare to return to the army, Li Dang refused, and scolded: "It must be the ghost of the white-bearded old man, damn it, he always speaks ill of General Dou, hum, next time I have a chance, I will unscrew his head and remove his beard." ”

Geng Gong said angrily: "Li Kang, the military order is like a mountain, and General Liu is also the chief general in the army, how can you scold a few words if you have something to do?" Li Dang whispered: "I can't scold, hmph, I don't scold in my mouth, and I also scold his ancestors for eighteen generations in my heart." ”

Wu Meng said: "Brother, I heard that I went to more than 100 miles, it was the court of the Huns, the Xiongnu troops, mainly in the left and right Xian Wang, now Zuo Xian Wang was defeated, it is time to gather Han soldiers, take advantage of the sharp pursuit, and smash Huanglong, why suddenly return to the army?" That's a shame. ”

Geng Gong pondered for a while and said, "I guess General Dou must be worried that the Han soldiers are too few to destroy the Xiongnu royal court, and it is reasonable to stop the pursuit." Alas, the Xiongnu are like weeds, self-healing power, Emperor Wu, with the strength of the whole country, continue to use troops against the Xiongnu, even if there are famous generals such as Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi, they still can't make it perish, I'm afraid that as soon as we leave, the Huns will resurrect. ”

Geng Gong and Wu Meng sighed at each other. When the Xiongnu saw the Han soldiers retreating, they thought they were afraid, so they gathered dozens of people and intercepted Geng Gong. Geng Gong was furious, danced his spear, stabbed down a few people, Wu Meng pulled out his long sword, slashed and chopped, and killed several people, the Huns knew that it was powerful, "ah" and scattered. Geng Gong returned to the horse, but he didn't see Li Kang, and asked in surprise: "Brother Meng, where is Li Kang?" ”

Wu Meng put the knife into the sheath, and was also very frightened, and said: "I just focused on killing the captive, I didn't notice Li Kang, he always wanted to kill the Huns, did he take advantage of our inattention and pursued alone." ”

Geng Gong complained bitterly and said: "He rode alone and pursued the Huns, isn't this self-defeating?" Geng Gong looked back, there were only more than ten horsemen under his command, hesitated, and asked: "The Hun royal court is in front, who dares to go with me to find Li Kang?" ”

Everyone replied loudly: "I am willing to follow the general and enter the royal court." The shouts shook the sky, and no one was afraid! Geng Gong was relieved and said: "The warriors of the Han Dynasty, this attack on the royal court, nine deaths, can you report your names, so that under Jiuquan, we can know each other, be brothers, and live and die together!" A soldier stepped forward and said, "I'm Han soldier Shi Xiu!" ”

"I'm Han soldier Zhang Feng!"

"I'm a Han soldier Tang Kegui!"

"I'm Han soldier Gao Feng!"

……

Geng Gong's blood was boiling, and he heard them report their names one by one, turned over their horses, and shouted: "Let's go, let's go to the royal court regardless of everything!" He took the lead and galloped away, followed by more than a dozen cavalry soldiers, shouting and rushing to the depths of the grassland. Dou Gu's general order has long been left behind.

The wind was whistling, and Wu Meng said: "Brother, Li Dare hates the Huns, and he has always been easy to kill, he must go to a place where there are many Huns." Geng Gong nodded. galloped for a while, and saw the scattered Hun soldiers one after another, lost his soul, Geng Gong sighed: "The Huns are also a strong country, I didn't expect to lose a battle, embarrassed to such a point, it can be seen that the strength and weakness of the situation, unpredictable, the king must be cautious." ”

Geng Gong was sighing, and suddenly heard Wu Meng shouting: "Brother, look, there are many Huns in front, I'm afraid there are hundreds of people, it seems that someone is fighting, and the horses are fluctuating." Geng Gong took a closer look and said happily: "It's Li Kang, go, kill quickly." ”

More than ten cavalry Han soldiers raised their swords and moved forward, seeing that Li Dang was surrounded in the middle, killing tightly, and from time to time the Huns fell off their horses. Li Dang's two sabers danced whirringly, but his strength gradually weakened, covering left and right, sweating, the blood on his face had already been washed by sweat, a face, a red one, a black one, like a play, it looked very ridiculous. When he saw Geng Gong, he slashed out a few knives and forced the Huns back, shouting: "Brother, come quickly, this Huns are very fierce!" ”
