In fact, when Wei Wuji sent Hu Hansan's lieutenant headquarters to the place where the Xiongnu were stationed, he found that there were not as many cattle and sheep there as he imagined.
When Hu Hansan and the others counted it, they found that there were less than 10,000 war horses, more than 5,000 cattle, and less than 30,000 sheep.
This harvest was a little less than the last one, and when the news reached Wei Wuji's ears, he suspected that his ears had heard it wrong, just like the previous time.
It's a pity that after repeated confirmation to Hu Hansan, I realized that this is really the truth.
For this reason, Wei Wuji couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but it was only disappointed, the huge benefits that could be exchanged for this batch of gains were enough for him to support the next battle.
But before setting out on the expedition, Wei Wuji decided to hold a pledge meeting tonight, and casually treat his subordinates before leaving for the expedition.
Before sunset, Chen Zhan and Zhang Xian, who went to pursue the Huns, also led their respective subordinates to return one after another.
Chasing the Xiongnu was never an easy task, so the two did not behead many after leading their troops to attack, but they drove the remnants of the Xiongnu back to the north of the Heishui River.
This also means that except for the army led by the Xiongnu Shan Yusuo, who is already within the Great Wall, there are no Xiongnu forces in the area south of the Heishui River.
In this way, Wei Wuji can safely lead his troops south, without worrying that the Huns will set fire to the back, unless they also press the main force that was placed in the Heavenly Wolf Plain to suppress the clan movement.
At the same time, there is also good news that a military marquis under Zhang Xian really brought back the head of Kuermu, shaking the whole army.
After the battle, everyone looked tired, but the sense of relief that the danger had disappeared also made the Wei army laugh.
Before nightfall, soldiers began to slaughter sheep and cook food in preparation for the night's celebrations.
After this battle, those who have merit in the soldiers will be rewarded and promoted accordingly, which is what all the soldiers are most looking forward to.
In fact, the treatment of the Wei army in the Naturalization City was not ordinarily good, and following Wei Wuji, in addition to the military salary treatment that was higher than that of their colleagues, they also had logistics support that was so good that it could be called luxury.
For example, eating meat, in these days in Naturalization City, eating meat is not a rare thing, which is especially felt by the soldiers who originally belonged to Naturalization City.
In fact, this is one of the reasons why Wei Wuji is so loved in the army, because he makes the people here very nourishing.
However, the only people who could attend the banquet at the General's Yamen were officers at the rank of Captain Sima, and Wei Wuji, who was sitting on the main seat at this time, was deeply moved when he saw this scene.
I think that when he was stationed in Tielinyi, Wei Wuji's army invited officers above the rank of military marquis, but now it has been upgraded to a higher level as a whole.
He thought of his loneliness and helplessness when he was in Linzi in the Qi Kingdom, when he had to be careful to behave, and if he was not careful, he would be harmed by others.
And now, he has become a general with peerless force, from the previous conscientious prayer for self-preservation, to now he can take the initiative to participate in the game.
The taste of power, Wei Wuji is now immersed in it, and he has also developed from self-preservation at the beginning to the active pursuit of power!
Thinking of his changes, Wei Wuji was finally able to understand why those people in the palace fighting drama in his previous life would pursue power at all costs.
Just like Wei Wuji now, in order to achieve his own goals, he has also become a "traitor" and turned a blind eye to the plans of the Huns.
At this time, there are all kinds of people, but in general, they are divided into three camps.
The first is, of course, the absolute descendants of Wei Wuji, the four captains of the heavy cavalry, and they are naturally the four closest people to Wei Wuji.
Then there were Chen Zhan and Zhang Xian, and their subordinates, but there was also a faint estrangement between the two camps.
The last camp is, of course, Wu Xiangyou and Zhang Ju's department, they were Zhao Yan's department that originally belonged to Naturalization City, and now the two of them have been promoted to lieutenants by Wei Wuji.
Although they were faintly divided into three camps, they only had one identity in front of Wei Wuji, and that was his Wei Wuji's cronies.
At this time, the wine and food had not yet come up, but all the generals had already arrived, and no one dared to be late at this time.
Unlike the soldiers outside, the officers present knew that this was not a simple reward meeting.
Sure enough, I heard Wei Wuji say: "Gentlemen, today's victory over the Xiongnu division is also a great achievement!" ”
"What my son promised at the beginning, he will naturally not break his promise to be rewarded for his military merits, and your military merits are also determined by a special person, so there is no need to say more!" Wei Wuji said indifferently.
At the beginning, everyone came to him, not just to be promoted, and at this time, Wei Wuji naturally wanted to give everyone justice.
Sure enough, as soon as they heard this, everyone immediately became excited, after all, the matter of promotion is even more difficult, and it is natural to feel embarrassed when they see the dawn at this time.
But Wei Wuji slapped the cases in front of him at this time, and although the sound he made was not loud, it made everyone in the hall lose their voices like thunder.
Under the slap, the generals bowed their heads, and Wei Wuji's authority could be seen.
"In addition, what we have to talk about today is tomorrow's expedition, and it is urgent to rush to the aid of the Great Wall!" Wei Wuji said again.
This was Wei Wuji's strategic plan all along, so everyone was not shocked when he proposed it at this time, but the previous thoughts on rewarding meritorious deeds were lightened.
At this time, everyone realized that it was too early to be promoted to the rank of official, and the war was far from over.
"The cavalry will all go south with the general tomorrow, and all the infantry will stay behind!" Wei Wuji said again.
This is the dictatorship of the cadres, and no one has come out to question it, and no one dares to come out and question it.
At this time, everyone could only say in unison: "Obey!" ”
Wei Wuji nodded, these were the two most important things in this banquet, and the whole atmosphere was a lot more relaxed after the explanation was completed.
For example, at this time, Zhou Yan, who saw the opportunity to act, took the initiative to get up and congratulate Wei Wuji on his victory over the Huns.
This is also a good start, and the captains below are very "sensible" at this time, and they all pile up good words one by one in the following time.
This is the real officialdom, and Wei Wuji naturally accepts it happily when he can't get rid of it anywhere.
For those who have made outstanding achievements in this battle, he also gave them a few words of encouragement, which made the other party grateful.
And one of the most shining stars in this battle is the military marquis named Wu Xiang who brought back the head of the Xiongnu Zuo General, and his harvest after this battle is naturally amazing.
And Wei Wuji didn't praise Wu Xiang alone before, naturally not because he forgot, but in order not to let him be hated, just to benefit himself.
Then the feast began, and although there was no elaborate food and drink, the warmth of the feast was not affected in the slightest.
In the end, it was a big victory, and everyone could let go of their tense nerves for a while.
Because tomorrow, a new journey will begin, and then everyone will live a life of licking blood with a knife as before.
After the banquet was over, Wei Wuji also took all the officers to the school grounds, where he watched and had a few drinks with all the soldiers.
The entire naturalization was shrouded in the joy of victory, and they were all immersed in the victory brought by Wei Wuji.
…………
On July 22, the fifteenth year of the Marquis of Wei, Wei Wuji led 10,000 cavalry and waved his army south!
