In this way, the Tugu Hun tribes who were surrounded in Yuanchuan had no choice but to surrender to Yang Guang. But the war didn't end because Fu Yun ran away. And the nomad has a characteristic, if you hit him, he can run a little farther west and north, even if there is a little loss, when the vitality is restored, he can still make a comeback. This is probably the reason why Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi and others wanted to go deep into Mobei to attack the Xiongnu.

Tuguhun's khan was not caught, and the war certainly did not meet Yang Guang's expectations.

In the past, when the rebellion of the Han Dynasty was quelled, although I was also in the army, I had never been to the front line, and because I was beaten by Yang Su, I did not have the opportunity to directly face the situation on the battlefield, this time it was different, I had a lot of novel experiences - of course, most of them were bad.

The first is killing.

I used to be a gangster, and I also used a knife to cut people, but most of the time, it was for self-preservation, and I didn't really want to kill people once. Later, except when I faced Li Shimin, I never had the idea of killing, and many times in Shiye Temple and Daxingshan Temple, I told myself to be a man with compassion.

The impostor Xu Ren in the Qingyu Pavilion almost killed me, and I didn't have the slightest grudge against him, but because Ruo Xiu was depressed for a while; In the Liangyi Palace, those who had nothing to do with me died tragically under Yang Guang's sword because of my words, I felt that I had committed a great crime, and I never dared to make a mistake again. I also learned my father's wise way of protecting myself, and there is also a principle of being a man, "If people don't offend me, I won't offend others."

All this does not hold up on the battlefield, because in the shadow of the sword and sword, if you don't kill people, people will kill you. I couldn't even imagine that two people who didn't have any grudges would go out of their way to kill each other.

Maybe that's what it is, but after the war, everything is different.

Yang Yichen's army was stationed in Pipa Gorge. Located in the east, the people of Tuguhun generally do not break through to the east, unless it is to connect with the Eastern Turks. However, this is also unlikely, after all, the Eastern Turks have always had a good relationship with the Great Sui, and although the Qimin Khan died, his son - that is, Shi Ji, who had met in the teahouse of Daxingcheng - succeeded to the throne and was called Shibi Khan, and he probably would not have acted against the Great Sui.

To my surprise, not long after we were stationed in Biwa Gorge, there was a small force of Tuguhun trying to break through our defenses. Yang Guang had already ordered that no one should be let go, and Yang Yichen had the courage to let these people go, so it was absolutely impossible to allow these people to escape.

The attack to break through was launched one morning, and it was still summer, but it was still a little cold in the morning. As I rode on my horse, I saw a dense crowd of men coming on horseback, about a thousand of them, wearing fur hats, each with spears or scimitars, and with three thousand horsemen behind me, plus others, I thought they had come to die.

As it turns out, I underestimated their abilities a bit, and their cavalry was far more elite than ours. As they rushed at me, I looked at the strangers rushing towards me, and for a moment I forgot to draw my sword from my waist.

The first person to be killed in front of me was Xun Yichu's hand.

The blood that came out of his throat splashed my face, and I looked at Xun Yi in a daze, he looked at the corpse lying on the ground silently, and the backhand sword had already stabbed the other person off the horse.

When I came back to my senses, there was already an enemy in front of me who raised his knife at me, the rising sun reflected a dazzling light on the blade, I saw the knife pressed down on the top of my head, subconsciously turned the horse's head with the reins, raised the sword and cut it diagonally, but did not hold the blade, but the blade fell from me, and when I turned my head to look, the sword in my hand had cut off the man's arm, and cut into his body, and the half of the arm still hanging on his body gushed blood.

It didn't take much effort for me to pull out my sword, which was stained with blood. The man seemed to struggle for a moment before falling to the ground.

I was stunned again, and this person who had nothing to do with me was killed by me like this.

Feng Li suddenly ran up to me from the fight and said, "Childe, beware! ”

I looked around and found that I was surrounded in the center, and a spear had stabbed at the back of my heart, and Feng Li waved the spear in his hand and swung the spear away.

I thought about it, if I was in a daze like this a few more times, I was afraid that even my life would be lost.

I glanced at Feng Li, he was covered in blood, I looked at myself again, no different from him, and said to him, "Thank you!" He leaned back, dodging the spear that was stabbing at me.

I raised my sword to hold the spearhead, and with my other hand, the man on the opposite horse turned over and fell off his horse, and before he could speak to his accomplices, he was trampled by the horses around him.

I put my sword back into its sheath, raised the spear I had just taken, and without further hesitation, I knew that someone had fallen from my horse.

I can't recall what happened afterwards, and when I started killing, all I wanted was to finish quickly, and to end it, I had to kill as many enemies as I could.

I can't remember how many people I killed, but I found that when I killed people in the war, I didn't really know why, only the fact that I had to kill people. It was only an instinct to aim the blade at the enemy, and in the midst of the shouts of killing, there was no room for thought.

By the time Xun Yi and Feng Li told me that we had won, almost all of the more than 1,000 people who wanted to break through were killed, and very few escaped. But I hadn't recovered from my trance, and I was holding the spear that had broken a long time ago.

Yang Yichen personally walked up to me, patted me on the shoulder and said, "General Yuwen's vision is really not bad. The old man really couldn't imagine that Du Wei had such courage! ”

His compliment sounded a great irony to me, and the people I killed were all innocent to me, and this war was not because of my will. If this is to make meritorious contributions, so that I can realize my so-called Wei Wu's ambition, then I should really find Mr. Fang to kowtow to him and apologize - I was wrong, if meritorious service has to be achieved at the cost of thousands of bones, then I would rather not have this meritorious fame.

Sanniang and I were in a very low mood that day, we sat opposite each other among the army commanders, drinking silently, and no one wanted to talk at all.

She didn't kill in the battle like I did, she just saw the sights.

I held my head and didn't dare to close my eyes a little, and as soon as I closed my eyes, I could see the hideous faces, the faces of the people I had killed.

Sanniang spoke first, and she said, "Big brother, you killed fifty-nine people today. ”

My heart was pierced by her words, but I didn't know how to dodge.
