Geng Gong and the three of them worked together to kill King Zuoli, Li Dang wiped the "blood" on his face, and said: "This person is so powerful, it's really a pleasure to kill!" Haha, so many Huns, just take revenge! After speaking, he raised his sword and slapped his horse, wanting to rush into the Hun army.

Wu Meng's eyes were quick, and he grabbed it and said, "Brother, don't go in." General Dou and General Geng are attacking from the rear army, the Huns can't resist it, they have retreated to the Pu Sea, we finally broke out of the encirclement, how can we go in again? ”

Li dared to say: "Brother, there are so many Huns, they fled here without their lives, and they just rushed in, one by one, and killed them happily." Geng Gong also stopped: "Brother dare can't go!" Brother Meng is right, you see so many Huns, overwhelmingly squeezing towards this side, many of the Huns have fallen into the Pu Sea, if we go in again, we will inevitably fall into the Pu Sea, go, we will go out to the west, join forces with General Dou, drive and kill from the rear, the same can kill a happy one! ”

Geng Gong waved his gun and slapped his horse and went west. Li Dang was helpless, roared and waved his knife to cut down a few Huns, and followed Geng Gong to the west. Although the number of the Huns is large, the defeat is like a mountain, and the formation cannot be displayed, squeezing each other, where can the enemy? How could they have the heart to fight against the Han soldiers, Geng Gong and the others easily rushed out from the west.

The rear army of the Huns did not know the situation, regardless of life and death, the front army was unstable, some people fled from the east and west wings, and survived, and the rest of the people were squeezed into the sea, wailing and screaming for a long time, and they could not bear to listen. Geng Gong sighed: "Once the success is ten thousand bones, you can know the soldiers, and the murder weapon is also." Wu Meng hated and said: "Brother, I heard that those who have learned the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, and the Huns invade my borders, kill my people, and plunder my property, how is it different from beasts?" Everyone in the world gritted their teeth, and now they deserve this end. ”

Geng Gong shook his head and said nothing, and ran towards Dou Gu. In the midst of the ten thousand armies, Dou Gu took the lead, covered in blood, holding a long knife, slashing left and right, tiger and tiger, leading the crowd to kill from behind, like a god. The Huns suffered countless casualties, all the way to the Pu Sea, Dou Gu saw Geng Gong, pulled the reins, put the long knife forward, and said with great joy: "Geng Gong, you are worthy of being behind the gate, full of guts!" With 300 troops, nearly 100,000 Huns were lured to the Pu Sea, so that our army could occupy the right time and place, which was really indispensable! Now that you have retreated, you are really blessed by God, and you will go to the rear army to rest quickly! Seeing that there were only thirty or forty of Geng Gong's subordinates left, with ragged clothes and messy hair, he couldn't help but feel sad, and said gently: "You are all warriors of the Han Dynasty, and the country will not forget you!" ”

Geng Gong said gloomily: "General Dou, I took three hundred soldiers out, all the way hard, life and death together, but I only had to ride forty-five horses back, eight or seven out of ten of the war dead, I failed them, how dare I ask for any credit?" If General Dou must remember the merits, please credit these brave soldiers, reward the living, and show mercy to the families of the deceased, which can also make up for my sadness a little. ”

When the soldier heard this, he was very moved and couldn't help but shed tears. A soldier said in a loud voice: "General Dou, this time 300 soldiers against 100,000 Hun troops, thanks to General Geng's disregard for safety, taking the lead, and being wise and brave, we can survive, otherwise, I am afraid that the whole army would have been wiped out long ago." ”

Li Dang was already impatient when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he said loudly: "Brothers, don't ramble here, go and kill the Huns!" Otherwise, all these Huns fled! ”

Dou Gu saw that Li Kang's face was like the bottom of a pot, his eyes were like copper bells, two fierce lights burst out, and his bare arms were extremely thick and majestic, so he couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Who is this strong man with a face full of blood?" Geng Gong said: "His name is Li Kang, the descendant of Li Guang when Emperor Wu, I made him a military marquis and led a hundred soldiers." He is upright by nature, bloodthirsty and killing, and has a thousand catties of strength in his arms. Brother Dare, come and see General Dou. ”

Boss Li Dang was reluctant, so he stepped forward and sang a promise, saying: "General Dou, there are so many Huns, let's go and kill them quickly, don't talk about it here, otherwise, the Huns will run out!" ”

Liu Zhang kept looking at Wu Meng and Li Kang on the side, and at this time, he suddenly sang: "Yumen Pass, still have to cross; Messy hills, not passable. "I chanted it a few times. When Wu Meng heard this, his face changed greatly. Dou Gu was inexplicable and asked: "General Liu, at the moment of the great enemy, your song is not a trace of passion, but full of resentment, what do you mean?" Liu Zhang said: "This is a minor tune sung in Luoyang City, Geng Gong, have you heard of it?" You come to answer General Dou, what does this song mean? Why is there so much resentment? Geng Gong was silent, Li Dang didn't know the severity, and said, "Brother, isn't this talking about me?" Haha, I didn't expect that I, Li Dang, am still a very famous person in Luoyang City. After speaking, there was a smug look on his face. Wu Meng hurriedly pulled Li Kang, Li Kang was puzzled, and said loudly: "Brother, what are you doing with me if you have nothing to do?" I'm not wrong, aren't we the ones who are singing? ”

Dou Gu saw Geng Gong's strange expression, and knew that there must be a hidden secret, and said: "General Liu, don't mention this matter for the time being, the Huns fled, hurry up and chase and kill, don't miss it." After speaking, he waved his big knife and slapped his horse to kill the Huns. Liu Zhang and others followed.

The Xiongnu mourned all over the wilderness, and the corpses of the dead in battle filled almost the entire grassland and the sea of Pu. Dou Gu and Geng Bing's ambitions suddenly rose, and they had the ambition to destroy the Xiongnu royal court, and they chased after them all the way. The happiest is Li Kang, holding a knife in both hands, killing countless people, and his body is splashed with the blood of the Huns. Liu Zhang was worried while fighting, the battle twenty years ago left too many shadows in his heart, although he is victorious now, but half of the 10,000 Han soldiers were killed, as the saying goes, the poor don't chase, so keep going down, in case of falling into a heavy encirclement, not only will the previous efforts be lost, but also buried in the grassland! He didn't want to!

Suddenly, there was a mountain not far away, stretching for more than ten miles, although the mountain was not high, but it was unusually handsome. He galloped to Dou Gu's side, pointed to the mountain, and said, "General Dou, do you know what the name of that mountain is?" Dou Gu immediately glanced at it, and couldn't help but be attracted, and said: "In the territory of the Xiongnu, there are grasslands, and there are few mountains. I look at this mountain, like a galloping horse, and like a flying dragon, there is the momentum of soaring into the clouds, although the mountain shape is not big, but it looks more handsome than many mountains and rivers of my Han, but I don't know what the name is? ”

Liu Zhang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This is Yanran Mountain, we have been more than 2,000 miles deep into the Xiongnu, and hundreds of miles further forward is the Xiongnu North Garden, I am afraid that many deserters have arrived in the North Court safely." Dou Gu listened to it and was very happy: "That's just taking advantage of the sharpness, smashing into the Xiongnu North Court in one go!" ”

Liu Zhang said: "I heard that Huo Qubing rate 300,000 male soldiers, attack the Huns, kill King Zuoxian, behead 70,000, go deep into the Huns 2,000 miles, now the general with 10,000 troops, to achieve enough credit comparable to Wei Qing and Huo Quai, will be able to shake the ancient Shuo Jin, I think the Danqing book of Han history, there must be a place for the general, just ......" Liu Zhang deliberately kept silent, Dou Gu was a great joy, seeing that Liu Zhang did not say, he was anxious, and asked: "Just what?" ”

"General, why do you talk about Huo Quai? Huo Quai's division went north, to Langxu Mountain, looked around, the sad autumn sand was raised, and saw that the mountain shape was not big, and the mountain was increased in the soil, and then climbed to the top of the mountain, worshiped heaven and earth, in order to remember the merits, so future generations remembered. Now that the general has arrived at the foot of Yanran Mountain, why don't you follow Huo Quai, climb the mountain and look far away, and then engrave the war exploits on the stone in the mountain, so that the Huns will be discouraged and let future generations remember? Besides, although our army was victorious, there were too many casualties among the soldiers, and if it was besieged by the Huns, wouldn't it be a complete annihilation and a failure? ”

Dou Gu has this intention, sealing the wolf Juxu and boasting of his military exploits, but it is the dream that every hero pursues all his life! Now he has penetrated two thousand miles into the enemy's territory, killing countless enemies, even if Huo Quai, it is nothing more than that! In this case, why not climb Yanran Mountain and make a stone? Dou Gu's vanity suddenly swelled infinitely, but he turned his head and said, "General Geng, what do you think of General Liu's words?" ”

Geng Bing looked at Dou Gu, seeing that his eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, and the hand holding the long knife trembled a little, thinking: "General Dou has been confused by Liu Zhang's words, no matter what I say, he won't listen to me, what else do I insist on?" Alas, this time I have gone deep into the enemy's territory, and I can't take advantage of the sharp spirit to kill all the Huns, and it will be easy to start again in the future! Then he sighed secretly and said: "General Liu's words are reasonable, our army has lost more than half of its troops, there is no grain and grass, and it is impossible to destroy the Huns. ”

Dou Gu said excitedly: "That being the case, immediately stop the pursuit, quickly climb Yanran Mountain, and imitate the story of Huo Quai's wolf Juxu!" Liu Zhang hurriedly passed the general's order, and after a short time, the Han soldiers gathered at the foot of Yanran Mountain. The saber is still bleeding, the flag covers the sky and the sun, and an invincible spirit rises to the sky, Geng Bing thought: "With this sharp spirit, taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Huns, the army is panicked, and led the army to kill the royal court, I think within a hundred years, the Huns will not be able to compete with my Han!" But now that the tiger has returned to the mountain, there will be endless troubles! Geng Bing shook his head and personally named him, there were only more than 5,000 soldiers, Geng Gong's army was gone, and he couldn't help but worry: "Where is my brother?" ”

Dou Gu led his troops to climb Yanran Mountain. The top of the mountain is lush and green, and there are all kinds of boulders, such as dragon pans, such as tigers, such as rabbits, and screens...... And the texture is hard and very smooth, Dou Gu can't help but be overjoyed, thinking: "God help me!" In the past, Huo Qu's illness was sealed as a wolf, but it was just a very ordinary dwarf mound, where can it be compared to this mountain, so powerful and handsome, enough to engrave my merits for this expedition to the west, and it will be remembered for eternity in the future, and future generations will say that my merits are higher than Wei Qing and Huo Qu's! Dou Gu stroked his beard and laughed, while laughing and looking into the distance, seeing the vast world, white clouds, green grass, piles of dead bodies, he couldn't help but think of the hardships of half a life, his brother Dou You was involved in the rebellion case of Chu Wangying, died in the edict prison, if he didn't marry the princess, he would have already fallen to the ground, even so, he stayed in the edict prison for five years, tortured, and the two daughters were also accepted into the prince's mansion as a maid ring, fortunately, the two daughters are both beautiful and beautiful, and can make poems, the prince Liu Wei has blue eyes, and he is accepted as the princess, very favored. The two daughters did not know how many good things they said, and they did not know how much money they had to spend before they had to pardon themselves. After being released from prison, he fought against the Huns several times, but he gained little, and the light of the Dou family gradually dimmed. Unexpectedly, this march of thousands of miles finally succeeded in one blow, killing countless prisoners, and a haze of snow and a half. Dou Gu laughed and laughed, the laughter echoed in the mountains, indescribably majestic, laughing and laughing, suddenly there was no sound, and two tears flowed for a long time.

Geng Bing stood behind Dou Gu, and was also infected by Dou Gu's emotions, he remembered that Geng's three generations were generals, cautious, and difficult step by step, today out of the plug for more than 3,000 miles, a battle success, the prestige is far away, and it is unparalleled for Geng's family, but the sun is in the middle of the day, and it will decline and fall, this is the same truth through the ages, Geng's military exploits have reached the peak, tomorrow, what will happen? Thinking of his younger brother Geng Gong's unruly discipline, and now he doesn't know where he is, he can't help but be worried, and his brows are tightly locked.

Dou Gu pointed to a huge stone that looked like a screen beside him, and said to Geng Bing: "This time you can defeat the Huns, your brother Geng Gong is indispensable, call him over quickly, and say that I ordered him to write an article to praise Hanwei and remember his military exploits, and engrave it on this huge stone." Liu Zhang hurriedly said: "General Dou, when I counted the number of people, I didn't see Geng Gong, I'm afraid that he is more than lucky, and the matter of writing the article should be arranged separately." Dou Gu was shocked and said: "Geng Gong is the person left by the emperor to the prince for reuse, if he dies in battle, it will not be good!" Send someone to find it. ”

Geng Bing said excitedly: "My brother is trapped, I will go to find it immediately." After speaking, he picked up his sword and got on his horse, and urged the horse to go. Suddenly, I heard a shout in the distance: "Happy, happy, really happy, this battle, really happy!" Hahaha. Geng Bing was overjoyed, and as soon as he heard this, he knew that it was Li Kang's voice. When he looked, Geng Gong led more than ten horses, and all of them were mixed with blood.

"It's just brother, we ran so far, and we were about to enter the royal court, but we collected our troops halfway, and let so many Huns run away, it's really hateful and hateful......" Li Dang was still thinking about it, and when he saw Liu Zhang, his eyes immediately opened up, staring straight at him, motionless.

Liu Zhang smiled and groaned: "Yes, there are so many Huns, it's a pity to let them go, it's a pity that the military order has arrived, otherwise you can kill more, isn't it?" Li Dare said: "This bird military order, hmph, even if it is issued, I didn't listen to it, and let me kill it for a while, if it weren't for my brother......" Wu Meng heard it wrong, and hurriedly pulled Li Kang's clothes, Li Dang realized that he had leaked his mouth, closed his mouth tightly, and didn't say a word.

Liu Zhang turned around and said: "General Dou, Geng Gong is not strict in governing the army, greedy to kill the Huns, and does not obey military orders, so he should be dealt with according to law." Dou Gu looked at Geng Bing, and said: "The Huns killed my people, all the people of the Han Dynasty, don't hate them like bones, although Geng Gong did not collect the troops in time, it was harmless, and he sent it for the time being, and he will also recruit the chariot division in the future. Li Dare listened, he was overjoyed, squeezed his eyebrows at Liu Zhang, and kept grimacing, Liu Zhang was furious in his heart, thinking: "Hmph, a robber is a robber, one day, I want you to die without a place to bury." But the expression on his face did not change, as if he had not seen it.

Dou Gu paused for a moment and said: "The most important thing now is to write the inscription, come on, Geng Gong, although you are a military general, you are also well-read, so I will leave this task to you." ”

Geng Gong took the order and thought: "My brother Ban Chao has copied countless books, and there are almost no books in the world that he hasn't read, if he is here, of course it will be a piece of cake to write an article, I don't know how he is in the Western Regions?" Geng Gong pondered for a long time and took the paper and ink. Originally, in the Western Han Dynasty, there were Baqiao paper and Luo Bu Naoer paper, and when the Ming Emperor arrived, the papermaking technology was improved, the paper was thinner, and the writing was smoother. Dou Guxi marched and specially carried paper. Geng Gong wrote:

In the winter of the seventeenth year of Wei Yongping, there were Han chariot cavalry generals Dou Gu, Yin Liang Shengming, ascending the wings of the royal family, accepted in Dalu, only Qing Zhixi, and Geng Bing, who was in charge of Jinwu, reported on his work and patrolled the palace, and managed the troops in Shuofang.

When Dou Gu saw it, he clapped his hands and praised: "Well written!" Geng Gong's thinking was open, of course, there was no stagnation, in one go, sprinkled, there were thousands of words, and it didn't take long to write to the end, Liu Zhang took a closer look, only to see that he wrote:

to annihilate the old anger of Gao Wen, and the mysterious spirit of the ancestors; The next is to stabilize the heirs, restore the realm, and revitalize the heavenly voice of the Han Dynasty. The so-called one-time and long-term rest, temporary expenses and eternal peace also! It is then sealed the mountain and published the stone, Zhao Ming Shangde, and his words said: "The king of Shuo is a desolate descendant, and the murderous and cruel people intercept overseas, especially the boundary of Miaoxi, and the god Qiu Xi built Longjie, and the Xi Emperor carried Xi Zhen for eternity."

Liu Zhang couldn't help but be impressed, and thought: "This Geng Gong can be civil and martial, he is really a rare general!" Seeing that the inscription was written, Dou Gu immediately ordered the craftsman to engrave it on the boulder, kill the horse and sacrifice to the sky, sing according to the festival, celebrate the day on the mountain, and the next day Fang led the army south to conquer the charioteer.
