However, he said that after Li Mu killed Tanshi Huai, he sent an order not to insult Xianbei women, not to take property without permission, and to continue to chase and kill the remnants of Xianbei troops on Danhan Mountain.

Li Mu came to the royal court of Danhan Mountain, he stood at the door and looked at the big tent, and said in his heart: Xianbei, you will not be able to go south again for at least five years. When I, Li Mu, come to Danhan Mountain again, I will let you Xianbei people completely become vassals of the Han people, and I will let you live at the feet of the Han people forever.

Li Mu didn't enter the account, but after taking a look, he turned around and left. An hour later, 3,000 Han troops drove tens of thousands of Xianbei soldiers and civilians to the top of Danhan Mountain. Li Mu looked at these Xianbei soldiers and civilians, and said silently in his heart: I'm sorry, if you want to blame, you are born in this era. Immediately, Li Mu gave the order to go down, kill all the Xianbei soldiers, and execute the children who were taller than the wheels.

Li Mu saw that the matter on Danhan Mountain had been almost dealt with, and immediately ordered someone to report the situation here to Zuo Zhonglang General Huangfu Song, who was thirty miles away. Li Mu was on Danhan Mountain, and saw from a distance that there was still thick smoke billowing above the Killing Wolf Valley. Li Mu knew that the Han army led by Huangfu Song, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao was afraid that they would not be able to return for an hour or two. Li Mu ordered people to kill cattle and sheep, and prepare for tonight's celebration banquet.

Sure enough, after Li Mu waited for an hour and a half in Danhan Mountain, Huangfu Song's army slowly came to the foot of the mountain. Li Mu stepped onto the red dragon and personally went to the foot of Danhan Mountain to greet Huangfu Song, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao. When Li Mu saw Huangfu Song's happy face, he knew that the Han army was afraid that the Han army would annihilate the 35,000 Xianbei army without blood.

When Li Mu saw Huangfu Song riding his horse towards him, he jumped off the red dragon and took a few steps forward. When Huangfu Song was five or six steps away from Li Mu, he jumped off his horse and walked quickly to Li Mu, but Li Mu didn't have time to salute. I saw that Huangfu Song laughed and said: "This time, if it weren't for Captain Li's strategy, my Northern Expedition army An Neng soldiers would not be bloodless and would break the Xianbei army." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "General Huangfu has praised it, the Northern Expedition army can break through Xianbei, thanks to General Huangfu's good command, and the Northern Expedition soldiers work together, Li Mu is only doing his best." ”

Huangfu Song said with a smile: "Captain Li doesn't have to be presumptuous, this time, when the class teacher returns to Beijing, I will definitely show Captain Li's merits to Your Majesty, so as to give Captain Li a good future." ”

Li Mu took a step back, gave a salute, and said with a smile: "Li Mu has thanked General Huangfu for his cultivation grace first, and Li Mu has prepared a celebration banquet for the soldiers on Danhan Mountain. ”

Huangfu Song smiled and nodded, and then, the order went down, and the whole army went up the mountain to celebrate.

Li Mu took Huangfu Song, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao to the big tent of the royal court of Danhan Mountain. I saw Huangfu Song laughing and said: "How many years have the Xianbei people plundered my Han frontier, and finally one day, my Han military flag can also be planted in Danhan Mountain." This is the blessing of the Han River and the people. ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "I am a big Han Jiangshan Sheji, and I should be as stable as Mount Tai and as solid as gold." ”

Subsequently, everyone entered the big tent of the royal court of Danhan Mountain, ate meat, drank wine, and the celebration banquet also lasted from the time of unitary time to the time of the child. The next day, after counting the seized materials on Danhan Mountain, a total of 100,000 horses, 1 million cattle and sheep, and countless money and grain were seized. Huangfu Song was overjoyed, and he gave heavy rewards to the Northern Expedition army, and even more generous rewards to those soldiers who died in battle.

After resting for a day in Danhan Mountain, the Northern Expeditionary Army began to prepare for the return of the squad to Yanmen. Before this, Huangfu Song asked the head of the Xianbei army to build a 'Jingguan'.

The Northern Expeditionary Army marched from Danhan Mountain, all the way through Daqinggou, Shangyi, Montenegro, Liucheng, Pingcheng, and Sangqian, and finally arrived at Yanmen Pass at night on the sixth day. When the Northern Expeditionary Army saw Yanmen Pass, they cried, shouted, and laughed to vent the long-suppressed emotions in their hearts.

Li Mu looked at the majestic and solemn Yanmen Pass in the dark night, and silently recited in his heart:

Wine Luminous Glass,

If you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately.

Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled,

In ancient times, a few people came back to fight.

At this time, in Muzhi Village, Bingzhou, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and every household has already hung up red lights, and the Lantern Festival is lively.

Yang saw Diao Chan sitting motionless by the window like this, almost half an hour. Yang sighed, walked lightly to sit down next to Diao Chan, and said softly: "Xiu'er, I'm thinking about Dingguo again." ”

Diao Chan glanced at the full moon outside the window, and choked up: "Mother, Ah Mu has been gone for four and a half months, why hasn't there been any news?" ”

Yang took Diao Chan's hand and said softly: "Xiu'er, how can such a thing as a war come as soon as it is said." Perhaps, the battle ahead is tight, and the Han army has not won yet. ”

Diao Chan choked up and said, "Mother, I really miss Ah Mu." Why didn't he come back to see Xiu'er? ”

Yang raised his hand to hold Diao Chan and said softly: "Xiu'er, when your father was fighting at that time, he was also gone for more than half a year, and sometimes there was no news for a year. Wait a few days, maybe there's news. ”

Diao Chan raised his head and looked at the Yang family, and choked up: "Mother, Uncle Zhang went to Yanmen to inquire about the news, is there a result?" Mother, don't lie to Xiu'er, okay? ”

As soon as Diao Chan's words fell, Yang's body stiffened, and he said slowly: "Xiu'er, listen to your Uncle Zhang, the Western Route Army that came out of the fortress seven or eight days ago failed, saying that the Western Route Army had tens of thousands of people, and only a few hundred people came back. When Zhang Cheng got the news, it was Yang Kan who took the four or five hundred people to transport supplies back to Yanmen Pass. These news are spread falsely, and naturally the more they spread, the more outrageous they become. This is a real-life example of three people becoming tigers.

As soon as Yang's voice fell, he saw Diao Chan's face turned pale, and he sobbed: "What about Amu? Does Uncle Zhang have any news of Amu? ”

Yang hugged Diao Chan and said in a choked voice: "There is no news of the country yet, not yet." ”

Diao Chan finally cried out loud and sobbed: "Mother, you accompany Xiu'er to Yanmen, let's go to Amu, okay?" ”

Seeing Diao Chan so heartbroken, Yang had to comfort: "Xiu'er, we are waiting for three days, if there is no news of the country in three days, we will call Aunt Zhang's family and go to Yanmen together." ”

Diao Chan was already sobbing and speechless, and nodded slightly.

At this time, Zhongshan Wuji City, the whole city is lit up to celebrate the Lantern Festival, which is very lively.

Zhang looked at Zhen Mi's listlessness and sad face, and said softly: "Mi'er, today is the Lantern Festival, and the streets outside are very lively, let your second brother and third brother take your five sisters out for a while." Mother heard that the girls who have not come out of the pavilion during the Lantern Festival will see the lanterns."

Zhen Mi glanced at the full moon outside the hall, shook her head, and said, "Mother, I don't want to go out, my eldest brother has been in Yanmen for seven or eight days, and he should be back soon." ”

Zhang said: "It's so late, your eldest brother won't come back, and if you want to come back, it will have to be tomorrow." ”

Zhen Mi shook her head and choked up: "Mother, it's so lively outside, but Mi'er doesn't want to go out, Amu has not heard from her for four and a half months, how can Mi'er be in the mood to go out to play." Will Ah Mu already..."

As soon as Zhen Mi's voice fell, only one voice was heard, "Little sister, good news, good news!" I saw that Zhen Yu had already shouted before he entered the hall.

Zhen Mi stood up violently, ran to Zhen Yu's side quickly, grabbed Zhen Yu's clothes with both hands, and said excitedly: "Big brother, tell me quickly, is there news from Amu?" ”

Zhen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Little sister, five days ago, I was in Yanmen, and I found out from a Yang lieutenant who returned from the fortress that Dingguo not only became the chief, but also led the Western Route Army to defeat the Xianbei Army. Afterwards, Zhen Yu told everyone present how Li Mu defeated the Xianbei army in Qingshui River and how he defeated the Xianbei army again in Zuoyun.

Zhen Mi cried and laughed and asked, "Ah Mu won the battle, Ah Mu won." Big brother, have you ever asked when Ah Mu will come back? ”

Zhen Yu took a sip of tea and said: "This Captain Yang didn't say it, by the way, Captain Yang said that when he was about to return to Yanmen, Dingguo led the Western Route Army to attack the Xianbei Army in the clouds. Little sister, don't worry, since Dingguo can defeat the Xianbei Army twice, it will definitely be fine. ”

Zhen Mi nodded and said softly, "Mi'er believes that Ah Mu will be fine." ”

That night, Huangfu Song ordered the army to be stationed at Yanmen Pass. Just when Huangfu Song set up a banquet to invite Li Mu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and several other captains to dinner. The guards at the gate came to report that an envoy from the imperial court had arrived. Huangfu Song, Li Mu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others hurriedly went out to greet them.

It turned out that on the day of the end of the battle of Danhan Mountain, Huangfu Song sent someone to report the results of the operation to the imperial court in an urgent way of 600 miles.

Naturally, everyone greeted the imperial envoy in a grand way, and the imperial envoy conveyed the will of the imperial court: to make Huangfu Song and Li Mu rush to Luoyang in the starry night and enter Beijing to face the saint.

Seeing that it was getting late, the imperial envoy asked Huangfu Song and Li Mu not to leave tonight, and to go to Luoyang with him tomorrow.

After entertaining the envoys of the imperial court, Li Mu called Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao to his big tent, Li Mu handed over the gifts he brought to Diao Chan, Zhen Mi and others to Zhao Yun, and asked Zhao Yun to return to Changshan by the way, by the way, he handed these things to Diao Chan and Zhen Mi, and reported to the two of them that they were safe. The feelings of the three Li Mu brothers became stronger and stronger during the period of fighting out of the fortress. Thinking that they were about to separate, they were naturally very reluctant, and the three of them talked about it at night before they got up to rest.

The next day, Li Mu said goodbye to Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, and went to Luoyang with Huangfu Song and the imperial envoys.

Li Mu said silently in his heart: Luoyang, I, Li Mu, are here.
