The next part of the banquet was simple, Chen Ning withdrew not long after saluting Qin Cheng's wine, Qin Cheng and the others filled their stomachs, chatted with Chen He for a few words, and left the table. There were already a lot of affairs waiting to be handled in the barracks, and if Chen He hadn't stopped Qin Cheng and the others on the way today, Qin Cheng and the others would not have come here for the banquet.

"Thank you for your hospitality, I'll leave after that." Qin Cheng hugged his fist at Chen He and said goodbye with a smile.

"General Qin can appreciate it today, Chen feels very honored, a certain old bone can't go to the battlefield, I can only wish General Qin and all the soldiers and soldiers, make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and be safe and triumphant!" Chen He didn't drink much, but his arrogance increased a lot, and he said loudly with a slight drunkenness.

The generals hugged their fists and said goodbye, and then they walked out together, and Chen He sent them off diligently, in short, it was a good scene of harmony between the army and the people.

Coming out of the hall, Qin Cheng and the generals walked out accompanied by Chen He's pretended to be calm, and halfway through, they suddenly heard a terrible scream, and everyone followed the prestige, but saw a young servant running out of the backyard in embarrassment, using his hands and feet together, his expression was flustered, and he looked back from time to time. After the servant saw Qin Cheng and the others, he felt that he had lost his great courtesy, and he was even more panicked, and was about to explain something, when suddenly a big yellow dog jumped out from behind, showing its hideous fangs, with a fierce face, whimpering a few times, and pounced on the young servant, making him scream in fright.

Just when everyone was a little confused, a gloating voice came from the backyard, as if it was coming from far and near, and it was clearly a woman's voice, which was shouting excitedly: "Hussar general, bite him, bite him!" ”

It turned out that the big yellow dog was named the Hussar General by its owner...... A black line appeared on Qin Cheng's forehead.

"Master....." The young servant shouted sadly at Chen He as he ran, as if calling for help, looking desolate.

At this time, Chen Ning ran out of the backyard, his demeanor was extremely excited, mixed with a voice full of youthful vitality: "Bite him, bite him, hussar general, bite to give you meat today!" ”

Running out of the courtyard door, Chen Ning couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect to meet Qin Cheng and the others who were walking out, he glanced at Qin Cheng and the others in a daze, and found that Qin Cheng and Chen He both had black faces, and the generals couldn't help but laugh.

"Grandpa...... General Qin, are you still there...... Hehe. Chen Ning stood in place awkwardly, lowered his head in embarrassment, didn't dare to look at everyone anymore, and his little face was slightly red.

"Nonsense!" Chen He was furious, walked over quickly, raised his hand and slapped Chen Ning on the head, "Who told you to let the hussars go...... Let the dogs go! Didn't you stop putting dogs in the house? You're turning a deaf ear to my words!? ”

"Grandpa, I was wrong...... Chen Ning squirmed, looking up at Qin Cheng.

"Don't pull your dog back yet, don't embarrass me here!" Chen He's anger did not subside.

"No." Chen Ning agreed, and called to the big yellow dog who was still chasing the servant around: "Hussar General, come back!" ”

Qin Cheng: "......"

"Old Chen, I'm waiting to leave." Qin Cheng arched his hand to Chen He.

"The little girl was negligent in disciplining, which made you laugh." Chen He let out two embarrassed snorts.

Out of Chen He's mansion, Le Yi and the others finally couldn't help it, they all laughed, Le Yi joked while laughing: "Hussar general, haha, in my opinion, it really looks a little similar in momentum, haha!" ”

Qin Cheng glanced at everyone and simply didn't bother to pay attention.

I thought that guy was a small jasper, gentle and lovely existence, but I didn't expect that he was actually a brutal guy, this woman is really elusive.

The hussars outside the city are building a simple camp, because the Yizhi army retreated, the Han army could not stay here longer, so there was no need for the camp to be deep ditches and high walls, when Qin Cheng and the generals came, the camp had been completed, and Qin Cheng took the generals directly into the Chinese army's tent to discuss the next action.

A day later, the Han Eastern Expeditionary Army, under the leadership of Qin Cheng and Le Yi, set out from Beitang, crossed the Great Wall, and went deep into the desert to find the main force of the Xiongnu.

Four days later, Qin Cheng received a letter from Huo Quai, which surprised Qin Cheng a lot, and immediately convened the generals to discuss it.

"According to the military report sent back by Huo Quai, Yi Zhixian led an army of 120,000 to Gaoque Pass, and the city was already besieged, and the offensive was imminent." Qin Cheng stood behind the generals, and said solemnly to the generals standing in two columns, "Gaoque Pass has just experienced a big battle, and the city wall is seriously damaged, and it is no longer able to be defended. Moreover, after Huo Quai's great victory outside Gaoque Pass the day before yesterday, he captured a large number of Xiongnu prisoners, and now these prisoners who are imprisoned in Gaoque Pass have also become a factor of instability. All in all, the situation at Gaoqueguan is critical. ”

"Without further ado, we should rush to Gaoque Pass as soon as possible to help! Gaoque Pass is no longer enough to defend, if the pass is broken, then there is no danger to defend in Henan, then the situation is not good! Le Yi said in a deep voice.

Qin Cheng nodded, beckoned the herald soldiers to enter the account, and said: "Use the spear falcon to send an order, let Huo Qubing be sure to stick to Gaoque Pass, until the reinforcements arrive, and the people are in the prison!" ”

"No!"

"General, the last general is willing to lead five thousand hussars as the vanguard and open the way for the army!" Qin Qingzhi asked.

Qin Cheng groaned slightly, shook his head and denied: "The Eastern Expeditionary Army now has less than 70,000 troops, and 10,000 are still in Gaoque Pass, and the strength of the Xiongnu army is twice that of our team, at this time it is useless to divide the troops, and even if the five thousand light cavalry arrives first, they can't do anything." Order, the army immediately waved Gaoque Pass! ”

"No!"

After the military discussion was dispersed, Le Yi did not leave with the generals, but stayed, and when the generals were far away, he said to Qin Cheng with a sad face: "This decisive battle with Yizhi, our army has always been at a disadvantage, although Huo Qubing defeated the 50,000 Hun army at Gaoque Pass, and the hussar army wiped out the 30,000 elite cavalry of King Zuoxian in Wuyuan, but it did not change the situation of the enemy and my outnumber. At present, the Huns are losing one after another, and they will inevitably take every step of the way, which will inevitably greatly reduce the probability that we can use tricks to seize the opponent's mistakes and make a fuss, and the possibility of a head-on decisive battle is increasing. If it is time for a head-on decisive battle, even if there are hussars and heavy cavalry, 8,000 tigers, counting the equipment advantage, the victory or defeat of our army is only between five and five! ”

Qin Cheng's face was also solemn, "There is still some optimism between the fifth and fifth fives. It is said that since Yi Zhixian set out on the expedition, more than half of the more than 200,000 troops have been damaged, and they have almost lost their combat effectiveness, but now Yi Zhixian insists on not retreating, probably also has the idea of letting go, and the head-on decisive battle is not fighting. Although the morale of the 100,000 troops of Yi Zhixian may be low, these are basically unscathed, and this battle is related to the survival of the Huns, which is the situation of life after death, who said that the Huns could not burst out of extraordinary potential? So in a head-on battle, I can't wait for half a penny. ”

Le Yi sighed, "If there are reinforcements, then it would be good." ”

"Reinforcements?"

Qin Cheng and Le Yi glanced at each other.

I don't know if it's fate favoring or fate is joking, half a day later, the "reinforcements" discussed by Qin Cheng and Le Yi really appeared.

"King Wuhuan led a total of 50,000 cavalry of the Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Amid tribes to help the Han deal with the Xiongnu?" When Qin Cheng learned the news, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

............................................................

Huiji County.

When Wei Qing first arrived in Huiji County, he only brought 5,000 foot soldiers, plus 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers in Huiji County, and fought against the 100,000 Baiyue army led by Yu Shan. During this period, Wei Qing, who had no soldiers and no generals, worked hard to support, although Dongfang Shuo and Gongsun Ce, who were in the same company, helped with a lot of schemes, but they were also forced to withdraw from the boundary of Huiji County for a time, embarrassed and embarrassed, and almost defeated.

Fortunately, as the war progressed, the soldiers organized by the imperial court continued to drive to Huiji County, and the available soldiers in Wei Qing's office finally gradually increased, although there was still a lack of generals, so they could fight with Yu Shan.

Adult men in the Han Dynasty all have two years of military service, so it is not difficult to organize a large army in a month or two, at first 100,000 southern troops went to Yingchuan, Wei Qing can only take 5,000 foot soldiers to join the Jijun Tun soldiers to fight against Yu Shan, now more than a month has passed, Wei Qing has finally gotten rid of the small family spirit, and he has enough confidence to have 50,000 male soldiers in his hands.

However, the army of 50,000 is already the limit of Liu Che's support for Wei Qing. After all, the war in Huainan has not completely ended, nearly 100,000 cavalry in the north are fighting, and there are countless daily expenses for grain and grass. In fact, the war between all parties has continued until now, and the finances of the Han court are already stretched, and in the Weiyang Palace of Chang'an City, Liu Che has to blow his nose and stare at several court officials every day, and keep asking: "Can you still take out money and grain?" Can you still take out money and food? He kept answering: "Your Majesty, I really can't take it out!" There really isn't any! But in the end, under the coercion of Liu Che's angry eyes, Prime Minister Sun Hong could only cry without tears: "I can squeeze a little more, only a little more......"

Rao is like this, Liu Che has never given orders to the commanders of the troops from all walks of life to end the war as soon as possible, on the contrary, Liu Che's reply order after receiving the military reports from all sides is always just to say: "The generals will not accept the military orders outside, just let go and fight, I will not let you go hungry and fight hard!" ”

The 50,000 well-equipped army, as Wei Qing himself said, to deal with the 100,000 Baiyue miscellaneous soldiers from the "barbarian land" is just a matter of being captured. In these days, Wei Qing has won successive battles, recovered all the lost territories of Huiji County, and drove Yu Shan back to the south of the Wulong River.

Wei Qing led the army to camp in the north of the Wulong River, rested for a while, and prepared to enter Minyue again in one go, and completely wipe out Yu Shan.

"General Wei, good news!" Dongfang Shuo walked into Wei Qing's Chinese army tent with a red face, holding a brocade silk full of words in his hand, and smiled at Wei Qing and Gongsun Ce: "Minyue Wang Yuchou sent someone to send a secret letter, expressing his hope to cooperate with our army and eradicate Yu Shan in one fell swoop!" This little Wang, who was under house arrest by Yu Shan in Minyue Wangcheng, finally united a part of his forces and was ready to stab Yu Shan in the back, haha! ”
