Chapter 221 If the Huns are not broken, they will not be returned
"Changgong, aren't you...... broke into the court of the Huns once, and even brought a 'female' person out! When they successfully ran out of the Xiongnu royal court for several miles, Xiahou Yuan and the others discovered Cai Yan behind Gao Shun, and their eyes widened like copper bells.
Although Cai Yan has been weathered in the Xiongnu for several years, and his appearance looks much haggard compared to the period when he was a young woman, he is still a beauty after all. Such a beauty suddenly appeared on Gao Shun's horse, how could she not surprise everyone.
Faced with this situation, everyone took it for granted that this 'girl' was specially taken from a tent in the Xiongnu court by Gao Shun who was "busy and idle".
Gao Shun didn't know how to explain it to them, did he tell them that this 'woman' suddenly jumped on the horse's back when I was about to run? Although this is true, it is too unconvincing, who would believe it? Forget it, anyway, the people have brought it out, and they won't rush back again, they can think whatever they like.
The assault went smoothly, with only more than 200 of our 3,000 cavalry killed and only more than 100 seriously wounded and unable to fight again. In other words, the number of losses caused by this surprise attack on the Xiongnu royal court was less than 10% of the entire army.
According to preliminary estimates, the attack killed at least 4,000 Huns and seriously wounded hundreds.
Although the loss of more than 4,000 people is only a 'hair' compared to the 100,000 Huns in the royal court, the deterrent effect played by this is self-evident. 3,000 Han cavalry suddenly broke into the court of the Xiongnu and slaughtered them, which was enough to make these Huns feel terrified for a long time to come.
The fact that the Huns did not chase them out is the best proof of this, if they had not been frightened by this, it is estimated that a large number of men and horses would have been sent out to pursue them.
In fact, the Xiongnu Shan Yu Hu Chuquan and Zuoxian Wang Liu Bao both advocated sending troops to pursue, but those Xiongnu generals and soldiers had not completely calmed down at this time. Although the generals successively obeyed the orders of the two adults and prepared to assemble the troops, the speed at which the soldiers gathered was too slow, and after a long time, the formation of the pursuing troops had not yet taken shape, and these generals also turned a blind eye to this and did not urge. After a long time, Hu Chuquan estimated that after such a long time, the other party had already fled far away, and there was no need to pursue, so he had no choice but to revoke the order to send troops.
In fact, the cavalry of the Cao army did not run too far, but stopped ten miles outside the royal court and set up camp.
300 casualties in exchange for more than 4,000 losses, the battle record looks very brilliant, but whether it is Xiahou Yuan, Gao Shun, Guan Yu and others, they are far from satisfied.
Although this attack was enough to make the Xiongnu panic for a while, Xiahou Yuan wanted to leave an indelible deep imprint in the hearts of all the Xiongnu in the royal court.
During the day, all you serve is an appetizer, and the main meal doesn't come until the night.
In Cao's camp, Cai Yan also 'revealed' his identity to the generals of Cao's army.
After everyone heard this, they all 'revealed' their stunned expressions.
Cai Yong's 'daughter', a generation of talented 'women' Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji were taken captive by the Huns, and everyone here has also heard of it, but they don't dare to guess that this 'girl' in front of them is the talented 'girl' of Luoyang City, the famous imperial capital in the past.
But no one doubted Cai Yan's identity, because after Cai Yan escaped from the Huns, he couldn't help himself, and sang a song "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats" in front of everyone.
"Why don't you see me drifting alone because the sky has eyes? For God has a spirit, what is the matter with me? I don't live up to the sky, how can I be worthy of my special match? I don't live up to God, why should I cross the barren state? The eight beats of the system are intended to solve the worries, and how do you know that the song is sad and worried. ”
The tune is mournful, the tone is poignant, and everyone who listens to it is sad and sad.
can make such lyrics and songs, if this person is not Cai Yan, who else will be?
Gao Shun was also stunned, he never thought that he would rescue Cai Wenji, a talented 'woman' in the court of the Huns, Cai Yanzi Zhaoji, in order to avoid Sima Zhao's ridicule, changed to Wenji.
In the original history, when Wen Ji returned to the Han Dynasty, she had already had children for Liu Bao, and after returning to the Han Dynasty, out of the natural 'nature' of maternal love, Cai Yan was still very concerned about her sons and daughters. But now due to the butterfly effect brought by Gao Shun, Cai Yan escaped from the Huns several years earlier, and did not give birth to a 'daughter' for Liu Bao, so she only has hatred for the Huns now, without the slightest concern.
However, now that the war is imminent, Cai Yan's "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats" played is poignant and graceful, and when it is played, in addition to Xiahou Yuan and other generals, many soldiers hear it. Listening to such a complaining song and song can easily have a negative impact on the morale of the army.
"Changgong, your literary talent is resounding all over the world, why don't you compose a poem to raise the heart of our army!" Morale dropped, so naturally he wanted to be encouraged, so Xiahou Yuan hit Gao Shun with his idea.
Damn, even at times like this, you want me to compose poetry. And if you want me to write a poem, you want me to write a poem that will boost morale? That's a lot to ask for...... Gao Shun scolded secretly in his heart.
Sure enough, plagiarism is a kind of thing, once it starts, it is difficult to stop it, which can only be said to be Gao Shun's own self-inflicted.
After thinking for a while, a poem suddenly flashed in Gao Shun's mind, and reading it out might have some effect of 'exciting' the army's heart. So, I only heard Gao Shun 'groan' and said:
"Qinghai Changyun dark snow mountain, lonely city looking at the goose 'door' pass. Yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and if you don't break the Huns, you won't return it! ”
Gao Shun has traveled for a long time, and some words in the poem can no longer be remembered, for example, the original sentence should be "The lonely city looks at the 'jade' and 'gate' passes", but he said that it was the goose 'gate' pass; the original sentence should be "If Loulan is not broken, it will not be returned", but he said that Loulan was a Xiongnu.
However, these changes are insignificant, and Xiahou Yuan and his entourage are also out of the Yan 'Gate' to ask the Huns, so his change is more in line with the current situation.
"Good! Good! A good yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and if you don't break the Huns, you won't return it! Although Xiahou Yuan doesn't know how to compose poems and doesn't know much about poetry, Gao Shun's poems, although short, can really make him feel a sense of blood boiling.
And Cai Yan on the side, when he heard the poems written by Gao Shun, couldn't help but 'reveal' a strange look in his eyes. I didn't expect this brave general who fought boldly to be so outstanding in his writing. Please keep in mind the URL, if you like "The Invincible of the Three Kingdoms" written by the thunder
