Qin Cheng's words came out, and Liu Mu was stunned for a moment, such a sharp remark, Liu Mu heard it for the first time, and not to mention whether Qin Cheng's words were correct or not, Liu Mu was also extremely surprised that Qin Cheng was thinking so far. This thinking has exceeded the scope of an ordinary general, and even the scope of the military, but Qin Cheng said it so naturally.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Mu was surprised, and by now, Liu Mu finally understood that Qin Cheng's ambition was far more than just fighting on the battlefield.

It was also from this time that Liu Mu really understood the meaning of the phrase "people have no long-term worries, they must have near-term worries", perhaps because he had never thought about something so far away or so far away from himself, and he showed mercy that was inconsistent with the identity of a general in the treatment of Xiongnu prisoners.

But after thinking about it, Liu Mu felt that something was wrong, maybe the gap between himself and Qin Cheng was not only a matter of foresight, but also an insurmountable gap. Thinking of Qin Cheng's previous words, the roots of Liu Mu's ears were slightly red, and the action of raising his hand to wipe his sweat was also a little unnatural.

The huge battlefield calmed down, but the soldiers of the hussar battalion did not have time to rest immediately, and the cleaning of the cavalry battlefield was always more troublesome than that of the infantry battlefield, because of the high mobility of the cavalry, so the severed limbs and wreckage of the sergeants were always everywhere, and after you cleaned up this corpse, there was always another corpse further away.

Six or seven thousand Hun soldiers were stripped of their weapons and armor and gathered together, guarded by heavily armed hussar battalion sergeants, ready to be escorted back by the county-by-county tun army first, and then sent by the imperial court. It was troublesome to have prisoners to deal with, but if the Huns were killed, the hussar battalion would have to pay a greater price, because it was known that the counterattack before death was always the most intense, and the trade-off between the two was that it was not too laborious to run a little longer distance.

Compared with the casualties of the Hun army, the losses of the hussar battalion were much smaller, and if the casualty figures were known to the Dan Wolf, he would definitely shout "This is impossible, this is not scientific!" "The hussar battalion relied not only on the powerful attack of light and heavy cavalry combined with swords, but also on the sharp reduction in deaths brought about by the military medical system.

The hussar battalion and the army of the red wolf, it is impossible to figure out who is the side of the labor expedition and who is the side that waits for work, the Huns rushed from the desert, but fought in the upper valley for a long time, the hussar battalion went north from Chang'an, and also made a simple rest when it approached the upper valley.

The wolf wanted to commit suicide, but Qin Cheng didn't give him a chance, so he simply closed his eyes, pretended to be a living dead, and ignored the people and things around him, only occasionally coughing up a mouthful of blood when the Hun sergeant shouted.

Proud people are more unable to accept defeat than ordinary people, especially the proud of the sky, although they seem to be strong, but in fact their hearts are sometimes more fragile than anyone else.

The town where the Hun cavalry was ambushed before was now the barracks of the hussar battalion, just like Yi Xue'er, and Qin Cheng also stationed the main force outside the town, and then moved the wounded into the city to take care of them. After the big battle, there are no Hun cavalry in Shanggu, and it doesn't matter where the hussar battalion should go next, it is still necessary to take the opportunity to take a rest.

Fighting on the mainland is not as good as the grassland, and the hussar battalion in the grassland has no opportunity to rest, so the hussar battalion has suffered great losses, but the mainland is different, there are towns and cities to rest and recuperate at any time, and the wounded can be treated or arranged in time, so that the death toll can be greatly reduced.

......

"General, General Wei has sent a sentry to ride over." Qin Cheng was eating in a room in the town, and Qin Qingzhi came in to report.

"Call in." Qincheng Road.

Suddenly, a dusty sergeant entered the house and reported to Qin Chengyu: "The general of my family asked his subordinates to tell General Qin: We have not encountered the main force of the Xiongnu army in Yanmen, and all signs indicate that the main force of the Xiongnu has left Yanmen. Now our army is heading all the way north, if the situation requires it, we will directly enter the desert grassland, and I hope that General Qin will be more careful here. ”

Qin Cheng frowned and asked the sergeant, "You didn't fight with the Hun cavalry in Yanmen?" ”

"There was a battle, but the other side only had two or three thousand men, and the general judged that these cavalry were all used to confuse our army!" Sergeant 1510 replied.

"Does General Wei have any other news to tell the general?" Qin Cheng nodded and asked.

"No, that's all." Sergeant Road.

"Tell General Wei that the general already knows. If General Wei was going to enter the desert, he said that the general would definitely come to echo him. Qin Cheng said, "You go down and rest." ”

"No!"

After the sergeant left, Qin Cheng pondered for a long time, his brows furrowed tightly, until Qin Qingzhi said that the sentry rode back and had something to report.

"Twenty miles to the west, our army has captured a Hun ranger......," said the sentinel who came in to report it.

"Let's go, take Ben to see it."

......

Although the Dan Wolf had been tied up since he was caught by Qin Cheng, Qin Cheng still set up a tent for him alone to separate him from the other Hun soldiers, so as not to cause trouble for the Dan Wolf when he was restless. Qin Cheng, the county-by-county tun army, has already sent people to contact, and tomorrow the county-by-county tun army will send people to temporarily collect these prisoners, and this night Qincheng will place the prisoners outside the city and send a large number of people to take turns to guard.

The Dan Wolf was tied up with his backhand and was still in a small tent, what made the Dan Wolf extremely depressed was that there was nothing in the entire tent, obviously Qin Cheng wanted to prevent him from messing with something. And just outside this tent, Qin Cheng has fully arranged the strength of a team of hussar battalions! It can be seen that Qin Cheng is cautious.

It was already dark, and the whole tent was dark, except for the red wolf sitting in the empty tent with his backhand, and a pair of eyes that were still a little angry were turning in the dark space. Feeling the temperature of the cold earth under his buttocks, Dan Wolf couldn't help but scolded angrily outside the tent: "Damn Qin Cheng, how stingy do you have to be that you won't even get one for this king?!" ”

No one responded to him.

The figure of the hussar battalion sergeant outside the tent was reflected in the light of the tent, leaving black shadows one after another, and the wolf looked at the black shadows that did not move a little, and gritted his teeth with hatred.

After a long time, a hussar sergeant opened the curtain of the tent and entered.

Then the light came through the curtain of the door, and the wolf looked up, but found that the sergeant's hand was empty, and there was nothing, obviously not to bring him felt.

The wolf simply closed his eyes, not bothering to pay attention to the sergeant.

The sergeant approached the Dan Wolf, crouched down in front of him, and whispered to the Dan Wolf with his eyes closed, "King of the North Sea, have you forgotten the princess's order?" ”

As soon as the sergeant said this, the Dan Wolf's eyes immediately widened, revealing a look of disbelief. There is no other reason, just because this sergeant, who is dressed like an ordinary hussar battalion soldier, speaks the Hun dialect!

Without waiting for the Dan Wolf to speak, the sergeant took out a domino and shook it in front of the Dan Wolf, although the inside of the big tent was relatively dark, but the fire outside the tent was still somewhat able to penetrate after all, and the Dan Wolf had been in the big tent for a long time, and had already adapted to the light in the big tent, facing the dominoes that were close at hand, the Dan Wolf recognized at a glance, it was the token that the Hun princess Yi Xueer was used to!

The reason why the wolf can be recognized is that Yi Xue'er and him have already made an agreement, and after the two armies enter the Han realm, messengers come and go, and they use this domino as proof of identity!

After seeing the dominoes clearly, the Dan Wolf was shocked, but he still did not immediately answer the words of the Xiongnu-speaking sergeant in front of him, but was surprised: "You are the princess's person, how did you get into this big tent?" ”

"When you came here before, your army had already been defeated, so you simply became a prisoner together, so that you could meet the King of Beihai. Fang Cai took advantage of his humble position to make a small excuse and secretly attacked the Han army sergeant who was guarding his humble position, so that he could get into the tent with this outfit. The sergeant said in an orderly manner, and after speaking, he stared straight at the King of the North Sea, waiting for him to answer.

"I see." The wolf glanced at the dominoes in the sergeant's hand twice, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"Why did the King of the North Sea ask?" The sergeant frowned, his tone was already quite unkind, "If the princess is here, I'm afraid she will ask the king of Beihai's good army of 20,000, why did he become a prisoner of the Han army?" ”

"This ......" Dan Wolf was ashamed, glanced at the sergeant with an angry look, although he was not convinced by the other party's bad face, but after all, he lost the battle, and he couldn't blame others, so he had to say: "It's not that this king doesn't obey the princess's arrangement, it's really careless, this king wanted to destroy this Han army alone, share the princess's worries, and never wanted to miss the horse's hooves......"

"That's it!" The sergeant waved his hand and interrupted the words of the Dan Wolf in a low voice, why the Dan Wolf attacked the Han army alone Everyone knew it, it was nothing more than for military merit, "The princess doesn't want to hear this." The king of the North Sea still talks about what to do next, and he should go back to his life as soon as possible! It's not enough to let the humble position say that the King of the North Sea has been defeated and captured, and he has no power to return to the sky, right? ”

"Of course not!" Dan Wolf hurriedly said, he was already defeated, and now he saw the opportunity to regain his glory, so he naturally refused to let go, his voice was a little louder, and the Dan Wolf, who realized that he had lost his voice, hurriedly lowered his voice and said: "Has the princess arrived nearby as agreed?" ”

"What does the King of the North Sea say?" The sergeant didn't answer the rhetorical question, still with a stunned face, "Beihai King hurry up, you can't stay here for too long!" ”

"Good!" Dan Wolf nodded, "You go back and tell the princess, tomorrow the Han army will send someone to respond, if the princess is willing to do it, be sure before dawn, then the king will definitely lead the captured warriors in the barracks to echo!" In this way, the Han army will be defeated! ”

"Good!" The sergeant agreed, stood up, saluted and said goodbye, then opened the tent and strode out, hurrying out for fear of a minute or a second of delay.
