This battle can be regarded as a great victory, the 3,000 Shuo Fang army fought to the death with the Turkic cavalry in a hard-fought way, and finally annihilated more than 2,000 enemies, captured 1,000 horses, weapons, leather armor, bows and arrows, it can be said that it is a great victory in the war with the Turks in recent years.

Shuofang's army also suffered a lot of losses, with more than 1,000 dead and wounded, nearly 800 killed on the spot, and more than 300 wounded soldiers did not know whether they would survive. But even then, it was a brilliant victory. The most unlucky one is the defenders of Fan Yang of Jushi Pass, who ran away, and a cup of soup did not fall, but they did Shuo Fangjun a favor in vain. If it weren't for their dispatch, the Turks were afraid of being attacked by the enemy in front and behind and had the idea of breaking through, and even if they won the battle, it would have been a tragic victory.

The Shuofang army quickly cleaned up the battlefield, piling up the corpses of the Turks and horses into dozens of piles, dousing them with fire oil and burning them. The last quarter moon had risen unconsciously, and the light reflected in the snow was as bright as day, and dozens of corpses were burning and rising black plumes of smoke into the sky, and the whole snowfield was filled with a pungent smell of burning.

Li Guangbi ordered the whole army to form a team, and the captured war horses left the Boulder Pass overnight with the booty and the corpses of their own soldiers, because this place could not be camped, and it was very likely that more soldiers and horses would be gathered to retaliate after the Turks were defeated, and they had to evacuate the Boulder Pass overnight.

The army marched north overnight and withdrew from the snow field outside the Boulder Pass, and traveled more than 50 miles to the east to enter the territory of Yunzhou, only then did they find a flat place to camp and rest before sunrise. After the battle, the soldiers marched all night, and the soldiers were physically tired, but they were in a very good mental state, and a big victory brought an unimaginable boost to morale. The soldiers' innate belief that the Turks would not be able to fight collapsed after this night.

Before dawn came, the team set up camp in Yangyuan Mountain, eighty miles northeast of Tiancheng Military Town, Li Guangbi personally led the generals to Wang Yuan and others in the camp tent to meet Wang Yuan, by this time, Li Guangbi had no complaints about Wang Yuan, and a big victory covered up all the unhappiness.

The wound on Liu Jun's arm has been bandaged, although the injury is not light, but Liu Jun doesn't care, when Li Guangbi entered the account, he was drinking hot soup while telling Wang Yuan about what happened after the breakup. The sergeant reported that Li Guangbi had arrived, and Liu Jun didn't even owe his body.

Li Guangbi didn't mind Liu Jun's rudeness, but stepped forward and said with a smile: "If I guess correctly, this is the little prince Liu in the Lady of Qin's mansion." Young boy, Shuo Fang Festival soldiers and horses make Li Guangbi polite here, hearing that the young son is trapped, I am worried, fortunately it is the right time, the little boy is safe and sound, otherwise I am a sin. ”

Liu Jun put down the soup bowl and said lightly: "Forgive me for being weak and unable to get up and return the salute." Thanks to General Li for his rescue, although it was a little late, and only a dozen of our 300 people died, they finally saved us. Thank you very much. ”

Li Guangbi's face changed slightly, and he sighed: "It's all because I'm late, I'm very blamed." ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "General Li personally led the army to rescue, and the soldiers have done their best, hey, it can only be the will of God." ”

Liu Jun said: "Whatever the teacher says, General Li doesn't have to blame himself, you can tell my teacher if you have anything." After returning to Beijing, I will tell my mother that you, General Li, led Shuofang's soldiers and horses to save me. ”

Li Guangbi was a little embarrassed, although he wanted Liu Jun to do this, but being directly said by Liu Jun was a little uncomfortable like being stripped of his pants. But thinking that the other party was just a teenager, he quickly disagreed.

Everyone chatted a few words, and they were very excited about the battle just now, Li Guangbi praised Wang Yuan repeatedly, admired Wang Yuan's courage and performance on the battlefield, and said a few words lightly about the things before the war. A smart person can understand it a little, of course Wang Yuan knew that he didn't want his pre-war hesitation to talk about things, and Wang Yuan also told him vaguely that he wouldn't talk about those things.

Li Guangbi was very happy, got a satisfactory answer, and praised Wang Yuan, Liu Jun, Liu Dehai and others, and then left to go back to the camp to rest.

Although Wang Yuan, Liu Jun and the others were tired, they didn't feel sleepy, and they talked about what happened after the separation. When he heard that Huai'an Fanyang Jiedu soldiers and horses deliberately sent cavalry to lead Turkic soldiers and horses to attack the people trapped on the top of the boulder, the mystery in Wang Yuan's heart was finally solved, and it turned out that the unknown team of cavalry was actually to lure the Turks in and kill people with knives.

"These bastards, these hundreds of lives are going to be recorded on An Lushan's head, and I will never spare them if they have the audacity to do these things blatantly." Wang Yuan scolded.

Liu Jun also gritted his teeth and said: "When I return to the capital, I will report this matter to my mother and uncle." An Lushan colluded with the Xi people and deliberately killed the teacher, and the court would definitely cut off his dog's head. ”

Everyone said: "Yes, you must not spare this dog thief, and you must settle accounts with him when you return to the capital." ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said nothing, and suddenly said in a loud voice: "After returning to the capital, you must not talk nonsense about An Lushan. ”

"Why?" Liu Jun was puzzled. Everyone was puzzled.

Wang Yuan said: "Things in Fan Yang are not so simple, we are just dictating, can there be the slightest evidence?" Although we found that he colluded with the Xi people, where is the evidence? Can anyone testify? It was the Xi people who attacked us in Yanzhou, how can it be said that it was instructed by An Lushan? Outside the Boulder Pass, the Turks attacked you again, and An Lushan pushed it again. ”

"But we've seen it with our own eyes." Zi Yun'er shouted.

Wang Yuan shook his head and said: "It's useless, there is no conclusive evidence, our words may not work." His Majesty is favoring An Lushan, relying on him to defend Fan Yang and Pinglu, let's just say these words, whether there is evidence or not, it will be abrupt. Instead, it looks like a frame-up. ”

"What does the teacher mean is that we can't help him? This traitor just let him get away with it? Liu Jun said excitedly.

Wang Yuan said: "Of course not, I will deal with this matter, I will tell Zuo Xiang about this matter first, and Zuo Xiang will definitely believe me." and then secretly seized the evidence through the hands of the left minister, and finally took An Lushan in one fell swoop. Otherwise, if the news is rashly spread, An Lushan has a lot of good friends in the DPRK and China, and he will be falsely accused, which is the most troublesome. ”

"What's the point?" Everyone was very angry, but they didn't expect that they would be helpless against An Lushan.

Gongsun Lan said quietly: "What Erlang said is not false at all, if you go back to the capital and you talk nonsense about this, you will eventually harm everyone." Therefore, everyone must keep their mouths shut, no one is allowed to talk nonsense, just leave it to Erlang to deal with. ”

Liu Jun nodded and said, "Although I don't know too much, I listen to the teacher, and I will never talk nonsense when I go back." ”

Wang Yuan nodded approvingly, turned his head to the silent Liu Dehai and said, "What does General Liu think?" ”

Liu Dehai said in a deep voice: "So, can the envoy guarantee to avenge my five hundred brothers?" ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said: "I can't guarantee it, the situation is much more complicated than we imagined, and it doesn't help to be anxious, I just want to ask you to trust me, I will deal with this matter, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and he will be too quick to eat himself." ”

Wang Yuan said solemnly, although everyone didn't understand, but seeing Wang Yuan's resolute attitude, they realized that maybe things were not so simple.

Liu Dehai slammed his fist on the ground, sighed and wept: "My five hundred brothers are all dead, I have no face to go back to Beihai County, how can I see my hometown fathers?" “

He came out from Beihai County with 500 regiments to train his brothers, and only a month later, his brothers were killed and wounded. There are only three brothers left by his side, and they are also seriously injured, and they will inevitably be left with disabilities, and my heart is really sad. As soon as he heard that the culprit was helpless for a while, his heart was even more depressed, and his suppressed emotions finally broke out, and the iron-clad man couldn't help crying bitterly, and everyone around him was also gloomy.

Wang Yuan understood his feelings, the 500 regiments of soldiers and horses were all children of local farmers in Beihai County, and he thought that he would be able to make contributions by following him, but he ended up like this. Liu Dehai will never return to Beihai County to face their family. And things have become so aggrieved, it's even more incomprehensible.

"Brother Liu, I don't know what to say, all I can do is to show mercy to them when I return to Beijing. If I hadn't offered you to come with me, I'd have regretted it. Wang Yuan patted Liu Dehai on the shoulder and said.

Liu Dehai hurriedly said: "How can I blame you for this, I can only say that fate dictates that the brothers have encountered this catastrophe." But what makes me happy is that they haven't lost the face of our Beihai County, all of them are iron-clad men. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and nodded: "Brother Liu, you men in Beihai County are all good, there is no need to doubt this." ”

Liu Jun interjected: "General Liu, I didn't cry, why are you crying?" I'm no less guilty than you are this time. All my guards are dead, and the three black slaves are still covered in wounds. My BMW was slaughtered by my own hands, do you know how much that horse is worth? Five hundred times is not worth it, do you see that I shed a tear? ”

Liu Dehai was amused by him, and said with a big finger: "What I said is that the master has not complained once along the way, and has not shed a single tear, he is like a ten-year-old child, and he is a man who stands up to the sky." Who do I admire the most along the way? Except for the master. ”

Liu Jun laughed and said: "It's good that you know, what are people afraid of when they die?" You will have a bright future in the future, and the teacher will not treat you badly, and I will not treat you badly. ”

Liu Dehai then remembered that there must be a blessing in the future if he does not die in this catastrophe, and from now on, he is afraid that he will soar. Thinking about this also dilutes the grief a lot.
