The Zheqi cavalry were just paid mercenaries who had no affection for the Turkic Khanate, let alone honor and loyalty. They fell into a downwind defeat after being intercepted and killed, and the main generals were all killed, so they lost their fighting spirit. Hearing that the rear was about to withdraw, they ran away regardless of their disappointment.

An encounter turned into a contest of escape between the cavalry of Zheqi - whoever runs fast has a better chance of survival!

Xue Shao led his troops to chase and kill for a few miles, and captured some heads, decisively stopped the horse, and let the flag commander give the order to stop the whole army, and not to pursue again!

The rat is in a hurry and bites, and the poor Kou Mo chases!

"Collect the fleeing horses and quickly assemble a defensive formation!!" Xue Shao's second order was issued immediately, and all the soldiers followed the order, and there was no longer any doubt about Xue Shao.

In just a few hours, Xue Shao's calmness, composure, courage and keen sense of smell on the battlefield convinced these proud soldiers and fierce generals under Xue Rengui. As veterans of the battlefield, they know very well that when a man goes to the battlefield, it is easy to go crazy, either helpless and just flee for his life, or become a bloodshot and hot-headed reckless man. They have seen people who are usually very violent and strong go to the battlefield and become incontinent, and they have also seen people who are usually very calm and timid, but when they go to the battlefield, they are controlled by the strong killing breath and become a madman who has lost his nature and only knows how to slash and kill.

It's not that hard to be brave and fearless on the battlefield. The difficulty is to be brave and fearless while remaining calm and wise. If you can still give full play to your extraordinary military talent and show extraordinary command art under such circumstances, you can be described as a "general"!

There is no doubt that Xue Shao has just done this. Coupled with his leading charge, the feeling of life and death is nothing more than this. The more than 20,000 soldiers who were still full of anger at Xue Shao just now are willing to go to the soup with him without hesitation.

The relationship between men is sometimes so simple, fiery and sincere and selfless.

Half an hour after Bujie defended the large array, the scouts sent by Xue Shao reported the news that the Turkic reinforcements in the northwest had been slowly scattered, and it seemed that there was no longer any intention to fight.

Xue Shao sighed secretly, and then he felt a chill behind his spine.

The pressure of the commander is ignored by no one except himself. In fact, if this group of Turkic reinforcements really launched a death raid just now, Xue Shao might not be able to deal with it easily. At most, it is to desperately carry them to the death, so that Xue Rengui, who is chasing Mo Si in front, will have a wake-up call, and don't chase after the fugitive.

Now it seems that the commander of that group of Turkic reinforcements is also unusually reasonable. He had realized that the outcome of this battle was decided, and he could no longer save Mo Si from fire and water. If they continue to fight, even if they wipe out this group of Tang troops, they will not be able to recover their losses, and they can only increase casualties.

Although there is no definite information, Xue Shao expected that the commander of this group of Turkic reinforcements would be Yuan Zhen nine times out of ten. Only he will not be as willful as ordinary Turks, reckless and brave, fighting to win or lose a battle. He valued the overall situation and future of the entire Turkic Khanate, and he did not want to bring even a little more loss to the Khanate because of a vain war.

The realm of handsome and general is completely different!

Xue Shao secretly took a deep breath, Yuan Zhen, he is indeed a tricky opponent!

"Young Marshal Xue, now that the enemy army has withdrawn, what should our army do next?" The deputy who asked for war before asked Xue Shao, and his words were humble and sincere, and he was like two people before.

Xue Shao wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, and said: "You personally lead your troops to set off, be sure to catch up with the old general and ask him to collect his troops and return to Yunzhou, and don't chase the enemy too deeply, so as not to fall into the enemy's encirclement." I led my troops to rest and recuperate here, ready to meet the old general. If there is an emergency, release the marching beacon and send a fast horse scout to report to me! ”

"No-" The deputy general took No, and immediately led his dozens of songs away.

Xue Shao ordered the whole army to rest in situ and rest in shifts for cooking. Xue Rengui's department has been chasing him out for most of the day, and it is conservatively estimated that it is dozens of miles away. It will take time to withdraw now.

In order to prevent a surprise attack, Xue Shao sent more than 20 sentry cavalry in the surrounding area for dozens of miles, and repeatedly reconnoitred back and forth. All the generals and soldiers took turns to rest, and the night was peaceful.

At noon the next day, a large amount of smoke and dust appeared in the north. The patrol sentinel came to report, and it was Xue Rengui who returned triumphantly.

The big stone in Xue Shao's heart finally landed - fortunately, Xue Rengui did not fall into the encirclement of the enemy!

When Xue Rengui's troops and horses returned, there were cheers all over the mountains. Countless horses, cattle and sheep were driven in, and they were the spoils of war they had taken from the hands of Mo Si. In the hands of almost every officer of the Tang Army, he carried a bloody human head. Tens of thousands of Turkic captives were also tied into strings with ropes tied and their heads bowed and carried all the way.

This is a big win worthy of the name!

Xue Shao led his troops to meet him personally, and he saw the handsome flag with the word "Xue" from a distance, and also saw the old general Xue Rengui, who was mottled in red and white, under the handsome flag!

Xue Shao breathed a sigh of relief, Xue Rengui was safe and sound, rest assured!

"Old general, bow down!!" Xue Shao stepped forward and bowed sincerely.

Xue Rengui stroked his beard and laughed, "One qiē rest, let's talk about it when we go back to the city!" ”

"Okay, the class teacher is back to camp!!"

The two armies converged and marched towards Yunzhou, and the officers and men of the Tang Army rejoiced, even singing and dancing.

Xue Shao rode a horse and walked beside Xue Rengui, seeing that he had been looking indifferent as usual, but the smile inadvertently revealed between his eyebrows was still difficult to hide the grandeur and pride in his heart.

"Old general, how does today's scene compare with 'the general's three arrows set the Tianshan Mountain, and the strong man sings into the Han Pass'?" Xue Shao asked.

Xue Rengui smiled slightly, "It's all murder, there's no difference." ”

Xue Shao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but remember that Xue Shao once said that for the sake of the generals, killing people is their business - the realm of returning to the basics!

Xue Rengui's realm is probably no longer something that ordinary people can comprehend. His calmness and calmness may have already surpassed utilitarianism and life and death...... Speaking of which, if it were an ordinary person, in the face of 100,000 Turkic enemies kneeling and worshipping, would they still decisively wave their troops to cut them down?

When he saw the Great Wall of Yunzhou, Xue Shao had a feeling of being like a dream.

A fabulous war, and so ended.

A contest between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty should also come to an end. The Tang Dynasty lost many prefectures and counties in Yunzhou and its surroundings, tens of thousands of soldiers and ordinary people were turned into unjust ghosts floating in the sky of Hebei, many towns and villages were destroyed, thousands of acres of fertile land were turned into ruins, and countless families were destroyed.

Of course, the losses of the Turks were not small, and it is conservatively estimated that they lost 100,000 troops, as well as countless horses, cattle and sheep.

"This is the ...... war" Xue Shao suddenly had an unreal feeling, how could human beings ruthlessly slaughter their own kind on such a large scale? Does the history of mankind have to move forward in war?

I don't know.

Xue Shao secretly shook his head and smiled bitterly, as a pure soldier, how could I think about these questions? …… Or, I'm no longer pure?

Meandering above the Great Wall between the lofty mountains and mountains, countless Tang troops were waving banners and holding high swords and guns, cheering Xue Rengui's triumphant return.

The shouts shook the mountains and fields, at least tens of thousands of people!

Xue Shao and Xue Rengui couldn't help but be a little surprised--there were only thousands of soldiers and horses left in Yunzhou under Zhang Renyuan's department, how could there be so many people all of a sudden?

In the midst of the fox's suspicion, the city gate was opened, and a team of people rushed out of it. Fresh clothes and bright armor are indeed the banner of the Tang Army. When the leader approached, Xue Shao and Xue Rengui glanced at each other, and they knew each other in their hearts.

- Wu Chenghe!

Behind him, there was Xue Ne, who stayed in Daizhou.

"The two of them returned triumphantly, and the official specially went out to greet each other!" Wu Chengsi rode on the horse with a happy face, and frequently bowed his hands, "Such a great victory, it is really gratifying!" ”

Xue Rengui almost didn't look at Wu Chengsi directly, let alone answer, only glared at Xue Ne, "Why did you come here?" ”

"Oh, the old general is angry!" Wu Chengsi hurriedly replied with a smile and said, "This official heard that the war in Yunzhou was tense, and he was afraid that the old general's troops would be overstretched, so he specially went to Daizhou in person and brought all the soldiers and horses left in Daizhou to Yunzhou, ready to help the old general!" ”

Xue Shao and Xue Rengui sneered at the same time, Wu Chenghe, a greedy person who is not learned and afraid of death, how can he have the heart to help fight and kill the enemy? He has almost written the words "grabbing merit" on his face!

"Wu Shangshu, the army is tired of fighting, it's better to go back to the city!" Xue Shao was afraid that Xue Rengui would have a seizure on the spot, so he said.

"Good!" Wu Chengsi is still quite attentive, "This official has already prepared a celebration banquet in the city, and specially invited all the generals to come to the table to celebrate!" ”

"Don't dare to bother." Xue Rengui said coldly, "The old man still has military affairs with him, so I won't accompany him." ”

After that, Xue Rengui stepped forward and walked straight away. The other officials and generals also followed Xue Rengui and left one after another. Basically, no one took the initiative to come forward to deal with Wu Chenghei.

Wu Chengsi was stiff and his face was cramping, and he was very embarrassed and couldn't get off the stage.

Xue Shao smiled, walked up to him and whispered: "Wu Shangshu doesn't have to worry about it, the old general has no bad intentions, he was born with such a temper, just get used to it." ”

"Yes, yes. I'm waiting for the younger generation, just get used to it, just get used to it! Wu Chengsi laughed, he didn't dare to show his disrespect to Xue Rengui in front of such a group of arrogant soldiers.

Xue Shao frowned slightly, and said in his heart I don't want to give Wu Chengsi any good looks, but I'd rather offend the gentleman than the villain, the ghost knows that if he doesn't have a seizure in person, he will be so bad after returning to the dynasty? Of course, he is not afraid of him, but if he takes revenge on Xue Rengui and uses some shady tricks, how can it be good?

"Let's go back to the city!"

Wu Chengsi begged for a hot face and a cold ass, and left in a huff.

Xue Ne didn't follow his father, but he stopped beside Xue Shao and whispered, "Young marshal, there is something to ask for below!" ”

"Brother Shenyan doesn't have to be polite, please speak."

Xue Ne said: "Chu Yu also came to Yunzhou with me. In these days, we have talked a lot, and some things have happened that have changed Chu Yu's state of mind. Chu Yu came to Yunzhou for one thing. ”

"What?" When Xue Shao heard Chu Yu, he came to the spirit.

"He wants to admit his mistakes to his father and reconcile himself." Xue Ne said, "Therefore, I want to ask the young marshal to be an intermediary to help make peace." ”

Xue Shao was even more curious, "How is he going to admit his mistake?" ”

Xue Ne smiled bitterly, "It's very simple, according to my father's wishes, take off my armor and return to the field, and get married immediately." ”

"Married? Or right away? Xue Shao was suddenly surprised, "The question is-with whom?" ”
