Chapter 86: The Fierce Battle of Yanmen (3)
Thirteen,000 people passed through the north gate one after another, and no matter how small the movement was, it was impossible not to completely arouse the reaction of the Huns. When the people at the tail had not all left the city, the vanguard had already encountered a lot of trouble: the 5,000 Xiongnu army was on the way to escape, and Li Mu led 1,000 cavalry to compete with it.
"I'm afraid it's hard to be good today, let the soldiers put up my flag, so that the people can find the direction to gather!" Li Mu, who had stopped at Lerma, commanded with a serious face but a calm tone. A few minutes later, a flag with a large plum character fluttering in the wind.
"The person who came is Lord Li Muli, the former county guard of Yanmen County!" An inquiry suddenly sounded in the oncoming Hun army.
"It's down there!" Li Mu, who didn't know why, rejected his subordinates' suggestion to hide their identities, and replied in a bright way.
"The patriarch of my clan said that Lord Li is a true hero, and he should not die here, please leave with the people at ease!" After speaking, the 5,000 Hun army gave way in Li Mu's stunned.
"General, there must be bombings in this, and you must not pass through his army!" The generals under his command persuaded one after another: "Our army still has 3,000 men and horses, and we can definitely escort the adults away desperately!" ”
"But what about the 10,000 people behind us?" Li Mu asked rhetorically. The soldiers under his command were silent, but their attitudes were indicative of their opinions.
"We have brought a glimmer of hope to these people, and we must not extinguish their hope with our own hands!" Li Mu looked at death and said: "Let's give it a try, I have a hunch that I won't die here!" ”
The soldiers under his command wanted to persuade them again, but Li Mu waved his hand to stop them, and he ordered: "Go and arrange for the people to pass quickly, and those who are willing to accompany me will stay until the end." When the time comes, with you, just the Huns, what am I afraid of? ”
At five o'clock in the Shen hour, when the last people passed through the Hun formation, Li Mu and dozens of soldiers also walked into the formation of the Hun army. At the last moment of leaving the Xiongnu formation, Li Mu turned around and asked, "I don't know what the name of the person who is good today?" I hope to let me know! ”
"Zamuhe!" From the Hun formation, there was the hoarse voice of Zha Muhe, who had not yet recovered. When Li Mu heard this, he immediately bowed his hand to the entire Hun formation and said: "Today's kindness will be repaid by springs in the future!" With that, he turned and walked away.
Looking at the figure that was gradually moving away, Tou Man asked Zamu He in confusion: "Shan Yu ordered us to destroy all the people who escaped from the city, why did we deliberately let Li Mu go?" ”
Instead of answering Touman's question directly, Zamuhe asked rhetorically, "What do you think will be the final outcome of this invasion of Zhao?" ”
Tou Man thought for a moment, and then replied, "Although Shan Yu has already captured Shanwu City, it has also triggered a large-scale counterattack by the Zhao army. I heard that Zhao Guo mobilized an army of 100,000 people, and it seems that he wants to annihilate us in one fell swoop, but I think the probability of its realization is quite low, and in the end, I am afraid that it will be the same as before - we will take the initiative to retreat to the grassland! ”
"As before, it's not just you who think so, I'm afraid Shan Yu thinks the same way!" Zamuhe sneered and mocked.
"Isn't that so?" Touman asked in confusion.
"Of course not!" Zhamuhe explained: "Although the invasion of Zhao has gained a lot, the losses of our army are also not small, and according to my estimates, at least half of the men and horses will not be able to return in the end." The sphere of influence of these people who cannot return to the grassland will definitely cause a new struggle, and after the war, a new balance will be established, and the strongest will become the new Shan Yu! Ten years ago, Zhao General Lian Po launched a revenge war against the Xiongnu, exterminating many tribes on the grassland, and now Shan Yu has taken the position, which is the best example. ”
"Then what does this have to do with us letting Li Mu go?" Tou Man still asked inexplicably.
"Of course it has a relationship, showing favor to Li Mu now is just to have a relationship with Zhao Guo in the future!" "Once we have a relationship with Zhao, we can remain neutral in the war on the grassland, and take the opportunity to sell the goods we have obtained from Zhao to the warring parties, which will not only ensure our own security, but also gain the opportunity to develop, and it is not entirely impossible that we can eventually become the new Shan Yu," Zamuhe explained. ”
"The patriarch is really well-informed, wise, and his subordinates are really beyond his reach!" Touman suddenly exclaimed.
"Young man, learn more from me, and in the end you will understand the twists and turns!" Zamuhe smiled and encouraged.
"So what are we going to do now?" Touman looked at Zamuhe lying on the stretcher with admiration, and asked sincerely.
"Enter the city, kill people, rob money, take prisoners!" Zamu and he smiled and said, "You don't really think I'm a good person, do you?" ”
————————————————————————————————————
A huge procession of escapes passed by a grove of trees.
"!" Li Mu suddenly shouted to the forest beside the road, and the people passing by showed surprised eyes.
However, after a few seconds, people's expressions changed from surprise to admiration. I saw several Zhao soldiers with minor injuries walking out of the deep forest one after another.
"Don't shoot arrows, your own people!" The soldier shouted loudly and asked, "It's General Li Mu and Li who are coming." ”
"It's Ben Jiang!" Li Mu drove his horse forward and asked the soldiers, "Who are you waiting for, and why are you here?" ”
The soldier replied in surprise: "We are soldiers from the military camp in the south of the city, we have just escaped from Shanwu City, and our general Di Beizheng is leading troops to escort nearly 3,000 civilians to hide here!" ”
"Take the people with us all the way, and let your general come to me!" Li Mu quickly ordered the soldiers. After a while, a handsome man who was also injured appeared in front of Li Mu's eyes.
"The last general meets the general!" The first north bowed to Li Mu.
"No need to be polite, you are a good man who rescued thousands of people in danger!" Li Mu patted Dibei's shoulder and continued: "Now that the crisis has not been resolved, don't talk about it, there will be a problem to think about you for advice?" ”
"General, please say, the last general must know everything, and he will say everything!" Dibei replied respectfully.
Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, and then asked quietly, "If you don't meet me today, where are you going to take the people to hide?"
"Heijo!" Dibei replied without hesitation: "I know from the captured Hun soldiers that Pingcheng has not yet fallen."
"Pingcheng is still in the north of Shanwu, how can it be that it hasn't fallen yet, it can't be fake news, right?" Li Mu was suspicious.
"The frightened expressions of the Hun captives when they recounted the battle of Pingcheng do not seem to be fake." After pondering for a while, Di Bei explained: "I'm afraid that Zhao Xian Ling really defeated nearly 10,000 Hun troops. ”
"Zhao County Order!" Li Mu muttered, and then Zhao Jie's appearance couldn't help but appear in his mind.
"Go to Heijo!" He ordered categorically.
