Chapter 262: It's done

Hu Dute smiled, Wei Changfeng said that he was not easy to answer, he took out a sign on himself, handed it to Wei Changfeng, and said: "This is a gift from Shan Yu to the general, and please accept it." ”

Wei Changfeng stretched out his hand to take it, his hand sank, although the brand was only a few inches long, it was extremely heavy. He looked down and saw that the brand was actually made of pure gold, with pearls and gems inlaid on the top and bottom, and this brand alone was worth 1.8 million taels of silver. This gift is really precious, and then look at the brand, the front is a few Hun characters, turn it over, and the back is written in Chinese characters "Hate the day general" four big characters.

Wei Changfeng hesitated. The name of this hating general was given by the Huns, and it was nothing for him to accept it, but this brand was too valuable, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Hu Dute said on the side: "Alone here, do not plan to go back, thinking of the dispute with the Han people for several years, hundreds of people in the two countries have suffered, there is no way to show it, although this card is valuable, but it is also a heart, alone in the palace jewels are innumerable, these things, but not a big gift, just a show of heart." ”

Wei Changfeng saw that Hu Dute was thoughtful, and he guessed his thoughts before he could say it, and what he said was reasonable, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I will accept it." It's a pity that I didn't prepare any gifts for Shan Yu. ”

"As long as General Hate Heaven no longer pursues, it will be the greatest gift to us." ”

Wei Changfeng nodded. Although it is not up to him to decide whether to pursue or not, no matter who can imagine, the emperor will not let the Han army go thousands of miles deeper into the desert, just to drive out the Xiongnu.

Seeing Wei Changfeng nodding in agreement, Hudu was very happy, and gave another salute, saying: "I have been waiting here for two days, and if I stay any longer, the food I brought is almost insufficient, and I dare not stay longer, so I will say goodbye. ”

Wei Changfeng's heart moved, and he asked, "Although you have retreated north to thousands of miles away, how can you guarantee that you will not come to my Han Frontier again?" ”

Hudute said with a smile: "So that General Wei can know that we Huns generally call this area Monan, and after that thousands of miles of barrenness, it is called Mobei." The land of Mobei is extremely cold, and the dripping water turns into ice in winter, and it is extremely difficult to live. ”

"And where are you going?" Wei Changfeng hurriedly asked, his heart hung again, if the Huns didn't go to Mobei, would they have to change places and continue to harass the Han Dynasty?

Pointing his hand to the west, Hudut replied, "Thousands of miles away, there is a vast land called Europa, where lives a group of barbarian people, who drink blood and are like evil spirits. Attila Thanyu intended to take the entire Xiongnu tribe to conquer the barbarians there and live there forever. ”

Wei Changfeng had also heard that in the far west, there was a very large land, where the people had skin as white as a dead man, their eyes were red and green, their hair was also red, green and blue, and they spoke extremely difficult languages and ate raw meat. That's where Attila wants to go. He was so determined that Attila had traveled thousands of miles to get there, and he would not be able to come back. He immediately nodded and said, "So, I wish you all a smooth journey." ”

Seeing that Wei Changfeng had finished speaking, Hudu gave another salute and said, "I also wish General Hate Heaven to be invincible in battle and glorify his ancestors." With that, he slowly turned around and walked away with his entourage.

A few years later, Attila led the surviving Hun tribes to Europa, where they galloped across Europa, killing the barbarians of Europa, these Barbarians of Europa believed in a god called "God", because Attila was too terrifying, the barbarians called Attila "God's Whip", a metaphor for Attila like a whip in the hands of the god God whipped these barbarians.

Attila was in Europa for several years, and his troops were directed at the capital of the barbarian power Byzantium, forcing the barbarian religious leader "Pope" to come to the door in person and plead with Attila before Attila could retreat.

However, Attila later forced the Byzantine king to marry the princess to him, and as a result, Attila was poisoned at the wedding and died violently, and the Huns scattered, and the entire tribe was scattered in Europa, and the mighty Hun Empire disappeared.

(Small note: There are many controversies in history about the true information of Attila the Great, please refer to the relevant content of Baidu "Attila the Great" for specific content, here is a family saying, not enough to rely on.) Wei Changfeng watched Hudu go away, but he was a little stunned in his heart.

He fought with Donghu from the northeast, fought bloody battles all the way, and now has come to the northwest border, all he thinks about is to defeat the Xiongnu, pacify the rivers and mountains, and he can give up the life of swords and swords and live in the Central Plains. Now all of a sudden, the victory came, and he was a little disappointed.

Wei Changfeng was sighing to himself, and behind him, there was a sudden burst of cheers. The soldiers were all uncontrollably excited, some hugged each other, and some threw their weapons into the air.

"The Huns fled, fled thousands of miles away, and never came back!" The news spread like a swift wind throughout the army.

The Han army stayed in the Great King's Court for twenty days, and seeing that the Huns were indeed gone, Wei Changfeng ordered the Han army to be divided.

Everyone was elated. Although the Western Regions were still in rebellion, and the southwest was not yet peaceful, after all, they were victorious. Having defeated the mighty Huns, it's time for them to rest.

Although the soldiers can now be said to be like arrows, but after months of fighting, suddenly relaxed, everyone's body feels very tired, originally marching every day, fighting every day, but full of energy, but now there is no battle, everyone seems to be tired all of a sudden.

For several days, the Han army traveled 30 miles a day.

On this day, Wei Changfeng rode a horse and walked slowly. He planned in his heart that today he would still travel thirty miles, tomorrow he would forty miles, and the day after tomorrow he would start to accelerate again. He was planning to himself when there was a sudden exclamation around him.

Wei Changfeng looked up hurriedly, and on the opposite side, a large army faintly appeared!

This army seems to be quite numerous, and the black pressure is coming towards the Han army.

Wei Changfeng's heart tightened.

There is no Hun army here, so he didn't send a long outpost, I didn't expect a troop to come from the south, could it be that the Huns were telling a lie, and their army quietly went around behind the Han army?

"Send a team of soldiers to investigate!" He gave the order, but saw a small group of cavalry galloping towards him.

"Alert!" Wei Changfeng immediately ordered.

As soon as the order came out, Bai Qi hurriedly stopped: "No need, it's the Han army!" ”

Wei Changfeng took a closer look, and at this time, the small group of cavalry was approaching quickly, and sure enough, it was the color of the Han army's uniform.

This small group of cavalry came to the front, and a small capital had already stepped forward to report to Wei Changfeng.

It turned out that on the opposite side were reinforcements from the Han army, numbering 100,000 people, who were coming.

The generals' faces were a little discolored.

It turned out that when the Han army was in urgent need of reinforcements, Zhu Shangshu pushed back and refused to send troops, but now he heard that the Han army was victorious, but sent 100,000 troops to reinforcements, what does this mean?

Of course, everyone knows this answer: this is the meaning of contribution. Although Zhu Shangshu is far away in Chang'an, his military exploits will not be indisputable, and if there is no credit to him Zhu Shangshu, where can it make sense, so Zhu Shangshu commanded Ruo Ding, made a decisive decision to kill, and sent a large army to reinforcements.

Wei Changfeng snorted, although this clearly showed that Zhu Ling was fighting for merit, but after all, it had nothing to do with the generals who were sent, so he had to order the whole army to move forward to meet reinforcements.

The commander of this army is not a general of any level, but a newly promoted squire of the military department, named Zhang Rushi. It seems that Zhu Ling also knows the truth of the sedan chair carrying people, since he himself can't come to the aid in person, he gave the small merit of leading the team to help his deputy, he has a big merit, Zhang Shilang has a small merit, everyone has merit, and everyone has nothing to say.

Zhang Shilang and Wei Changfeng met each other, very politely, and praised Wei Changfeng during the conversation, "set the country and the country, strategize", "command if determined, decisive victory for a thousand miles" and so on, anyway, all the common and uncommon idioms made him say a seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight, the praise has been completed, but he took out the official document of the Ministry of War, saying that the Ministry of War has a special order, the two troops are combined into one, and they are all unified under their own command, and Wei Changfeng is the deputy commander.

Wei Changfeng could only reluctantly agree.

The matter is very clear, Zhu Ling sent Zhang Shilang to take the credit of Wei Changfeng, and returned to Chang'an, the commander of this army is not Wei Changfeng, but Zhang Shilang. But it doesn't matter, no matter how much Zhu Ling wins Wei Changfeng's merits, there is no way to say that the entire battle is not commanded by Wei Changfeng but by Zhang Shilang, like this kind of small feat, he has to let it go.

Zhang Shilang was very happy when he saw Wei Changfeng nodding in agreement, and while ordering his generals to take over the command of various departments, he repeatedly invited the generals to let him invite a table of banquets in the evening to have a happy gathering.

Although the generals were dissatisfied with Zhu Ling's approach, Zhang Shilang acted on orders, but he couldn't be too angry, and the war was over, so it was okay to relax, not to mention that the military department was personally invited, how could this face be given, so they thanked one after another.

That night, Zhang Shilang's big tent was crowded, Wei Changfeng, Bai Qi, Tong Haoran, Zheng Kejin, Li Quan and others were all absent, anyway, the responsibility of commanding the troops had been taken over by Zhang Shilang's subordinates, and everyone had nothing to do, they all came to the tent early, waiting for the banquet to open.

After a while, Zhang Shilang arrived, a shout, the wine and food were passed on, although the generals were not greedy for this bite of food, but after marching for a long time, suddenly there was a table of good wine and food, but they were also full of appetite, plus the defeat of the Huns, the mood was very good, they ate and drank one after another, and the banquet was full of talk and laughter, but it was also happy.

Zhang Shilang and the generals socialized for a while, got up and went out for a while, and when he came back, he smiled, glanced at the generals, coughed and said: "Since the rank is complete, the official has something to announce." ”

The generals stopped one after another, waiting for Zhang Shilang's next step.
