Chapter 353: The Same Man Who Has Fallen at the End of the World [Fifth Update]
After accepting the surrender of the remnants of the 4,000 Xiongnu army in the grassland, Qin Cheng and Wei Qing led the army back to Gaoque to rest.
On the way north to Gaoque, Yi Xueer walked alone and remained silent without speaking. Her gaze always fell on the vast grassland, as if searching for something, as if she wanted to remember something.
In the vast grassland, there are thousands of soldiers who take a step forward, and they are alone when they take a step back. And being alone seems too small and lonely.
All the soldiers who had worked all night were a little lazy when they relaxed, especially the hussar battalion sergeants, who had been running back and forth non-stop for two hours, exhausting their physical strength.
The sun is warm.
Wei Qing couldn't help but smile when he saw Qin Cheng slightly raising his face and looking like he was enjoying it: "Brother Qin, you are still on the battlefield now, shouldn't you be so comfortable?" ”
Qin Cheng squinted his eyes and said with an appropriate attitude: "With Brother Wei by my side, what do I have to worry about?" ”
Wei Qing smiled dumbly, and scolded with a smile: "It's infuriating to be so unenterprising!" ”
Qin Cheng smiled, sat up straight, and said to Wei Qing, "Brother Wei still wants to go further?" ”
"I don't believe you didn't think so!" Wei Qing said firmly.
"Oh? Ha ha! Qin Cheng laughed, "It seems that Brother Wei's confidence is greater than mine!" ”
Wei Qing snorted coldly, patted the back of his head, and said with some annoyance: "Just say it, what are you going to do?" ”
"What can I do?" Qin Cheng said, "King Youxian brought all the elite horses of his royal court to Heshuo, and the headquarters is naturally empty, if I take this opportunity to visit him, wouldn't it be a good thing to live up to him?" In my opinion, today to Gaoque, the army had a full meal, after a short rest, set off overnight, and strive to serve the nest of the right Xian Wang tomorrow, speaking of which I suddenly felt a little sorry for the loss of the right Xian Wang this time. But if we hurry, we can still welcome King Youxian back to the camp in his king's tent. Brother Wei, what do you think of this? ”
"Haha!" Wei Qing laughed with satisfaction, "I'll just say, Brother Qin, you have a dime in your heart, how can you not take advantage of such a big advantage in front of you?" The court of the Right Virtuous King is so empty, we only need 10,000 iron horsemen to wipe the Court of the Right Virtuous King from the grassland! ”
Qin Cheng touched his eyebrows a little depressedly, and said dissatisfiedly: "When is love taking advantage and not pulling out a dime?" I love to take advantage, but when will I stop pulling a dime? Brother Wei, you have to rely on the conscience of heaven and earth when you say this! ”
"Uh......"
"General, General Liu called you." Qin Qingzhi came over and said to Qin Cheng.
Yanagi had been wounded in the leg during the battle and was lying on a stretcher. Qin Cheng listened to Qin Qingzhi's words, pulled out his horse and turned around, and walked to the side of the willow tree.
Looking condescendingly at Liu Mu lying on the stretcher from his war horse, Qin Cheng suddenly found that Liu Mu's body was actually very thin.
Liu Mu saw Qin Cheng coming over and asked, "Does the general plan to attack the court of the Right Virtuous King?" ”
Qin Cheng nodded, and when he saw that Liu Mu wanted to speak and stopped, he took the lead and said: "You have an injury on your leg, so you don't have to follow this time, stay in Gaoque Pass and Zhenguan." Although there should be no enemy in Gao Que now, there is no general to guard it, and the general is still not at ease. By the way, and Princess Ice, you'll have to watch her lively, although she's not likely to cause trouble. But it's always good to be cautious. ”
Liu Mu bowed his head silently, and paused for a while before saying, "Okay." ”
The Xiongnu army left a lot of grain and meat here after occupying Gaoque, and the Han army was not worried about the lack of food.
At dusk that day, 20,000 troops carried dry food and water, left Gaoque Pass, and rushed north.
After Gao Que's leg wound was carefully treated by Gao Que, it was determined that there was no major problem, although it was still inconvenient to walk, but thinking that he was now the supreme general guarding Gao Que, Liu Mu still forced himself out of bed.
When the sun set on the city, Liu Mu stood on the city wall and watched the 20,000-strong army go north again.
As the army disappeared from Willow's view, Ixel walked up to the city.
The Han army did not restrict Yi Xue'er's freedom of movement, allowing her to move around the pass at will, but the other Xiongnu captives were not treated so well. As Princess Yixueer, she will not be beaten into a prisoner when she arrives in the Han Dynasty, so there is naturally no need for the Han army to imprison her too much.
Seeing Yi Xue'er coming up, Liu Mu glanced at her, didn't speak, turned around and prepared to go down the city wall, not intending to pay attention to her.
"General Liu." Icher turned around and stopped Willow.
Liu Mu stopped, but he didn't see Yi Xue'er have anything to say, and after waiting for a while, he had to turn around and frown: "What's the matter with the princess?" ”
Yi Xue'er smiled indifferently, and said with a deliberate taste: "This princess and General Liu are also familiar with each other, why does General Liu refuse to be thousands of miles away?" ”
"Where did the princess start with this, Ben Jiang didn't mean it." Liu Mu said lightly.
Yi Xue'er walked into Liumu, "It's just that General Liu is pretending to be in front of others, does General Liu think that you can hide it from this princess?" ”
The willow wood was reddish and said angrily: "What does the princess want?" ”
"What do I want?" Yi Xue'er suddenly laughed at herself, stopped looking at the willow wood, walked to the female wall and stopped, looked at the vast grassland, and said a little sadly: "I'm just a general of a defeated army, and now I'm just a prisoner who wants to go to a foreign land, what can I do?" After a pause, he said, "I'm just looking for someone to talk to." ”
Liu Mu was infected by the loneliness and sadness that Yi Xueer showed at this moment, and remembered what the two had in common, his tone softened a little, and he walked to Yi Xueer and stood next to him, and pointed out: "Women, the place where the heart belongs is the hometown." ”
Yi Xue'er shook her head lightly, turned to Liu Mu and said, "General Liu, don't worry, I won't rob you of anything." ”
Liu Mu's face turned even redder, and he said in annoyance: "Ben will not know what the princess is talking about!" ”
Hearing this, Yi Xue'er giggled and teased, "General Liu is such a wonderful person! ”
......
When King Youxian retreated from the battlefield where he had fought with the hussar battalion, he used to flee. He originally wanted to take Yi Xue'er with him, but at that time, the momentum of the hussar camp was too strong, and there were too few people around Youxian Wang, if he was bumped into by the hussar camp, he couldn't even save his life, so before dawn, he only took a few hundred guards and fled.
After leaving the battlefield, King Youxian traveled all the way, because Gaoque was controlled by the Han army, so they could only find another way back to the grassland. After tossing for a few days, when they finally returned to the desert, King Youxian and the others were already furyed, hungry and thirsty.
Hurried and hurried back to the royal court camp, but the moment the royal court camp appeared in his sight, all the hopes in the heart of King Youxian were instantly shattered.
for his royal court is no longer his royal court.
At this moment, in his royal court, countless red-robed cavalry were galloping back and forth.
"Han ...... Han Army? Right Xianwang's eyes widened, and he only felt that his body was weak, so he sat down on the ground, "It's over, it's all over!" ”
