Chapter 273: The Cold Winter Ends

How can the governor lose, Hu Cai has a lot of henchmen, I waited for a while to fight with his men and horses, and after both sides were killed and wounded, let Hu Cai's men and horses escape. We are not doing our job well, and I ask the champion to forgive me. ”

Wen Han rode on the clouds, condescending, a pair of eyes seemed to illuminate the night, Wen Han's eyes seemed to enter the eyes of the white wolf, reading everything in his heart.

The white wolf was stunned in his heart, thinking that Wen Han learned that he intended to let Hu Cai go, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Haha, if it weren't for you and others to know the righteousness, I don't know how many people and horses would have died under my command. What sins do you have, please arise quickly. If you have made great contributions, I will reward other meritorious people for their meritorious deeds. ”

Suddenly, Wen Han laughed, rolled the saddle and dismounted, and helped the two brothers white wolf and black wolf up, without concealing his respect in his eyes.

Wen Han understands that people can be ruthless, if the white wolf and the black wolf are for their own selfish interests, Wen Han will look down on them. But they value love and righteousness, even if they let Hu Cai go, it is understandable. After all, they hadn't been under Wen Han at that time. So what they did made Wen Han respectful.

Originally, the white wolf and the black wolf were ready to be blamed and insulted by Wen Han, but they didn't expect Wen Han to help them up, and they spoke better to each other, and the two immediately warmed their hearts and celebrated that they had made a correct determination.

After that, Wen Han asked people to clean up the battlefield, and then went into a certain earthen house with the two brothers, the white wolf and the black wolf, and asked the white wolf and the black wolf to tell everything about tonight.

Wen Han listened carefully, and felt a lot in his heart. Or Hu Cai can be calm, not let his irritability and act recklessly, and kill his subordinates, he will not have today's defeat.

As soon as the white wolf and the black wolf finished talking about the matter, Gao Shun, who had a wooden face and did not smile, walked in.

"Report, the battlefield has been cleared. More than 3,000 were killed and more than 5,000 were surrendered. In other words, Hu took away about 4,000 people. ”

"Hmm. I know. Boyi, after you go down, you still let these soldiers choose. If they want to go back to Hedong and cultivate the land for farming, give them some grain and grass to go back. Before they leave, I will write the paperwork and ask Zhang Hong to help them find their family in Hedong. ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

Gao Shun Mu nodded, bowed his hand, and left the house.

"So, what about you? Would you like to join under me? ”

After Gao Shun left, Wen Han set his eyes on the white wolf and the black wolf again, with an indifferent smile.

After the white wolf and the black wolf looked at each other for a while, they knelt down on one knee and arched their fists in unison.

"Champion Wen is a person who is willing to work for the welfare of the people of the world, and I and the two brothers are naturally willing."

Of the 5,000 white dragon thieves who surrendered, nearly 2,000 people decided to go back to Hedong, and the remaining 3,000 people, Wen Han still broke them up and divided them into various teams. The white wolf and the black wolf were promoted by Wen Han as the tooth goalkeeper, and other small leaders with meritorious contributions were also assigned, and the positions of the hundred generals and Dubo were also assigned.

In the next few days, Wen Han was worried that the four thousand thieves of the White Dragon Thief Yu Hu Cai would still cause chaos in the White Dragon Mountain Range, so he sent people to look for their traces. However, Hu Cai's men and horses seemed to have evaporated from the world and disappeared into the White Dragon Mountains.

Later, a certain team of scouts sent by Wen Han learned that Hu Cai's men and horses were fleeing in the direction of the Xihe River in a village at the foot of the mountain, so they immediately went back and reported to Wen Han.

When Wen Han heard this, he was relieved and prepared to withdraw his troops from the White Dragon Mountain Range. In this way, the campaign against Bailong Mountain, which lasted for nearly three months, came to an end.

The end of the war in the Bailong Mountains also represents the final suppression of the rebellion in the northeast of Hedong.

And Wen Han's soldiers and horses also expanded from 4,500 when they came, to 8,000 by recruiting and recruiting prisoners. Of course, nearly 5,000 of them are newly formed thieves, and their combat power is low, so they can only be regarded as a group of rabble. On the contrary, the 4,500 elite soldiers that Wen Han originally brought lost nearly 1,000 people.

The original 2,000 soldiers of the trapped camp under Gao Shun now have only 1,400 people, and Wen Han's 1,000 cavalry and 1,500 sword and shield men are only 600 cavalry and 1,000 sword and shield men.

The value of the soldiers in the Gao Shun camp is so high that there is no need to say it. Wen Han's 1,000 cavalry and 1,500 sword and shield men, these people were all elite soldiers selected by Wen Han from the forbidden army and the Luoyang school yard when Emperor Ling of Han issued the order to build the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden.

Every time one of these soldiers was lost, Wen Han's heart would drip blood and feel uncomfortable.

However, on the battlefield, how can there be no injuries and deaths. Although Wen Han is young, he has experienced a lot of wars, and the brutal war has made him grow up gradually.

The cold winter was coming to an end, and a few days later, Wen Han led the army back to Dangyin County. Wen Han and Gao Shun stood at the head of the city, watching the snow on the top of the White Dragon Mountain Range, gradually fading, and for a while, both of them were silent.

In these three months, many of their siblings and brothers have been laid to rest at the foot of Bailong Mountain. They are mourning, and they are also pondering, what is this so-called war, the killing of people between people, for.

Everyone is destined to have a different way, some people want to live for themselves, some people want to live better, and some people want to be able to live better for more people. Among them, intrigue, conspiracy is exhausted, or righteousness is unremarkable, and he does not hesitate to sacrifice.

Everything will be turned away by the gears of the ruthless years, a long road, as long as you are alive, you will have to go on.

When the cold winter is over, the spring breeze representing the new life flutters on the earth, Wanlu begins to sprout and reborn, and the world shows a piece of hope again.

In the area of the West River to the east of the river, two armies of imperial soldiers and horses with a strong bloody atmosphere arrived, as if the earth was also dyed into a pure blackness.

Of these two troops and horses, one of them was to exterminate nearly 40,000 rebels and thieves in the northeast of Hedong, and 8,000 soldiers and horses led by Suo Wenhan and Gao Shun.

And the other 6,000 soldiers and horses led by Guan Yu and Zhou Cang were even more bloody with a bloody breath, these 6,000 soldiers and horses walked over, as if a person was covered in blood, and the cold light on their blades was pressing, revealing a signal of hunger and thirst without words.

Especially the extremely well-equipped cavalry in front of them, all dressed in pitch-black grimace armor, every step they took on their horses would make people feel that they were coming with blood, and the sharp edge of killing startled the birds and birds flying in the sky, and they did not dare to get too close.

It was this army of soldiers and horses that, in the cold winter of March, wiped out more than 20 waves of nearly 450,000 thieves in the southeastern and western areas of the river, and turned the snow in the southeastern and western areas of the river into red snow.

Xu Huang was under the city of Changling, leading 5,000 soldiers to greet these two soldiers and horses with an endless taste of blood. When these two soldiers and horses approached, the five thousand soldiers behind Xu Huang all smelled an extremely strong smell of blood without exception, and then looked at the eyes of these two soldiers and horses, which suddenly made them tremble, these people seemed to have killed four people from the abyss of hell, and then came back, murderous.

"Second brother! Third brother! ”

The emotion on Xu Huang's face was not half false, and he opened his arms and hurriedly ran towards Wen Han and Guan Yu. Wen Han and Guan Yu rolled the saddle and dismounted together, the two of them also opened their arms, and the three brothers of the opposite sex hugged each other, for a while, there was no need to speak, and their feelings were all in silence.

The other soldiers were all moved by the sincerity of the feelings of these three people. It is rumored that these three people were born and died, inseparable, and shared suffering, honor and disgrace, so that they broke into a world that now belongs to the three of them.

Whether it is Wen Han, who is known as the champion, or Guan Yu, who is brave in the world, or Xu Huang, who is praised by many famous generals as handsome, these three people also said frankly that their brothers can have this status, and one of them is indispensable. Of course, there are three of them, and there is an eldest brother, Zhou Long. Although Zhou Long is low-key and his name is rarely known, Wen Han and others have never ignored him. The three of them also spoke, if there was no big brother Zhou Long, it is likely that there would be no brothers and others, and they would be able to be famous all over the world today.

It can be seen that the unknown Zhou Long has a place in the hearts of them and others.

After the three of them hugged one by one, after Xu Huang's suggestion to enter the city and settle down first, the brothers would catch up with the old days. Wen Han and Guan Yu listened to this and agreed at the moment. The two led two armies of soldiers and horses into Changling County with Xu Huang. After settling their respective soldiers and horses in the Changling school field, Wen Han and Guan Yu, as well as Gao Shun and Zhou Cang, walked together to Xu Huang's temporary mansion in Changling.

As soon as Wen Han, Guan Yu and the others arrived at the door, Xu Huang had already waited at the gate of the mansion for a long time, welcomed everyone into the mansion, and came to the hall. Xu Huang consciously invited Wen Han to the main seat of the hall, although according to the seniority, because Guan Yu did this position, but Wen Han was the head of the Hedong Group after all, so of course he sat in the main seat.

When everyone sat down, Wen Han turned his eyes to Guan Yu, who was dressed in a parrot green robe, and said with a smile.

"Looking at the second brother's calm and relaxed appearance, it seems that the crusade in the southwest is very smooth."

Guan Yu seemed to have guessed that Wen Han would ask him about the battle situation in the southwest, so he got up and gave his hand, and said calmly.

"Fortunately, I was not dishonored. The war and rebellion in the southwest area have been successfully suppressed by Guan. None of the 60,000 thieves escaped, except for some who surrendered to Guan, and the rest were all wiped out. ”

"Haha, okay. The second brother is worthy of being the second brother, and he is unparalleled in bravery, and he wiped out 60,000 thieves within three months without much effort. What is the war in this, the third brother is itching, and he asks the second brother to talk about it in detail. ”

Although Wen Han said so. And although Guan Yu is arrogant, he doesn't like to show off, maybe in his eyes this is just an easy thing. It is described as an ordinary colloquialism, and it is mentioned lightly.

Wen Han knew Guan Yu's character, shook his head helplessly, and set his eyes on Zhou Cang.

"Dinggong, the second brother doesn't like to show off, so you should talk about it for everyone."

Zhou Cang took a step forward and glanced at Guan Yu, his eyes were full of admiration, and he arched his hand.
