Since the capture of the West River half a month ago, leaving 50,000 foot soldiers to garrison the periphery, consolidate the defense, and sweep away the scattered Xiongnu nomadic tribes, Qin Yong, the cavalry general, led the remaining 150,000 Han army foot soldiers to Shuofang City on the edge of the Yellow River day and night.

Because the Xiongnu Lou Fu King, who was originally stationed in Shuofang, had led more than 10,000 Xiongnu iron cavalry to aid the Aries King at the foot of the Northwest Great Wall Pass, Shuofang City only left thousands of Xiongnu old and weak women and children and more than 1,000 miscellaneous soldiers of affiliated tribes. The Han army captured Shuofang City without much effort, disarmed all the Xiongnu soldiers in the city, and guarded them strictly.

Many of the pre-Qin people in the city have been enslaved by the Huns for decades, after several generations, at this time when they saw the Han army, they couldn't help but be a little dazed and frightened, and closed the door tightly. A small number of people who were a little more courageous would secretly look at the majestic and well-armored Han soldiers on the street through the cracks in the door.

It wasn't until Qin Yong ordered people to post a lot of notices to calm the people, according to the practice of the Han army, learning the three chapters of Emperor Gaozu's covenant, and sending military scribes to chant aloud along the street, and the people who came back to their senses opened the door one after another, hugged each other and wept, took out the food, vegetables and fruits hidden in the house, and presented them to the Han soldiers patrolling along the street.

Last year, the prairie was plagued one after another, and the Xiongnu tribes plundered the grain of the people in Heshuo and transported it to the northern grasslands for wintering. Coupled with the heavy rent for many years, the people of Shuofang City have no food and clothing, and their faces are yellow and thin. Now the food taken out by the people, although it is coarse and unbearable, is the only ration that is most tightly hidden at home, but it is not stingy at all, but forced into the hands of the soldiers of the Han army, and these rough men who crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood were moved to red.

Many soldiers of the Han army took out the grain and jerky they carried and stuffed them into the hands of the drooling dolls next to them. With the acquiescence of the Han generals, several granaries in the city were opened, and the remaining grain was distributed to the people in the city, temporarily alleviating the spread of famine. The military scribes went from house to house to preach that a large amount of grain was being transported from the Dahan border county, and that as long as the people lived in the city, they did not need to be too frightened by the imminent ban on the city.

Naturally, the people cheered and actively responded to the Han army's call to do some labor in exchange for more food. And a small number of Huns hiding in private houses were also pulled out by the people, tied up and thrown on the street, trampled by thousands of people, until they were trampled into a ball of flesh. Many people took the soldiers of the Han army to the mansions of the Xiongnu nobles in the city, and even those pre-Qin officials who defected to the Xiongnu and fought for the tiger were not missed, and all of them were taken to the prison in the city and imprisoned.

Naturally, the money in the house was confiscated by the soldiers of the Han army, transported to the camp outside the city, and after the inventory was made, troops could be sent to Chang'an, the capital division, together with all the Xiongnu prisoners of war. As for a small number of officers and soldiers who were greedy for money, they occasionally hid some gold and jade treasures, as long as their hands and feet were clean, the generals of the Han army did not ask the slightest question and acquiesced in this behavior. Serving in the army is a job of licking blood with a knife, and it is also human nature to get some benefits after victory. As long as you don't plunder the people, you will be annihilated. The silver woman is a good soldier who abides by the law in the eyes of the generals.

As the commander of the Han army, Qin Yong did not even enter the city, but still stationed the camp outside the city, and divided 50,000 Han soldiers into Shuofang City to be responsible for clearing the surrounding areas. The remaining 100,000 troops rested outside the city for two days, crossed the Yellow River, and hurried to the Northwest Great Wall Pass as soon as possible.

According to the news from the Yulin Battalion, in addition to the 50,000 border troops stationed on the Great Wall hundreds of miles to the west, the 100,000 border troops brought by Taiwei Dou Ying to the northwest pass suffered heavy casualties, but less than half of them were worthy of the first battle. In the face of the 50,000 Huns' right iron cavalry who lingered outside the pass, and the Xiongnu Right Xian King, who could lead a large army to help at any time, the situation was still a little grim.

On the contrary, it was originally thought that the Great Wall Pass in northern Yunzhong, which would be attacked by the Xiongnu Shan Yuting army, has not seen a single soldier of the military minister Shan Yu's department, which has become the easiest part of the entire battle. Of course, at this time, the Yanmen Taishou who was sitting in the clouds led the northern general Zhidu, and still did not dare to slack off, and the county soldiers of Yanmen, Taiyuan, and Daijun have now all been sent to the northern passes, with more than 200,000 troops, and the Great Wall of thousands of miles is firmly guarded. And with the Yanbei Pass of more than 100,000 border troops to watch each other, if the Huns iron cavalry to attack, just light the beacon smoke, within a few days, can gather countless reinforcements to help defense.

Today, the Han army has displayed nearly 400,000 heavy troops in the northern passes, plus the border people who went out with the army to serve and transport grain and grass, nearly one million people, which can be called the largest war mobilization since the founding of the Han Dynasty for decades. Counting the hundreds of thousands of troops in the land of Heshuo and the northwest pass, the entire northern border county of the Han Dynasty and the land of Guanzhong can be said to be exhausted, and the troops are exhausted. If another Wu Chu rebellion broke out in the Central Plains at this time, the Han court would not be able to deal with it at all, which is also the reason why Emperor Jing, after careful consideration, allowed the prince Liu Che to hide from the Han dynasty and the opposition, and led Hu Ben and Yu Lin to personally guard the Hangu Pass to prevent the rebellion of King Liang.

When the Han army firmly controls the Great Wall that is more than 10,000 miles long, the remnants of the Xiongnu in the pass are wiped out, and the border affairs are completely organized, only half of the border army needs to be left to garrison. At that time, hundreds of thousands of troops will return to the Central Plains, and the various princes and kings who are ready to move will be just clowns jumping off the beam, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

Just when Qin Yong, the general of the cavalry, led his troops to cross the Yellow River and gallop to the northwest pass, the general of the Hu cavalry, Gongsun Xiao, had already led 8,000 Hu cavalry to the Gusiwang ferry, but did not set up camp, but ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot, eat and drink horses, and recuperate. A large number of exploration horses have been scattered everywhere, and any wind and grass within a radius of a hundred miles can be quickly known by Gongsun Xiao.

After sitting all night, Gongsun came to the shore, bowed a handful of cold river water, and buried his big face. Shu Shuang screamed, he wiped his face casually with his sleeve, then rubbed his reddish eyes, and muttered: "This Hun horse's horse is too slow, why hasn't he escaped here?" ”

Gongsun Xiaozi received Li Guang's harrier eagle message, and rushed here non-stop, without the slightest suspicion. Tianshui has guarded Li Guang for many years, although his surname is rude, but he has always been strict about military affairs and has never spoken falsely. And Qi Shan, the left supervisor of Yulin, is a cautious young man. Gongsun Wei has also dealt with him, and now he has several Yulin guards by his side, who are specifically responsible for the transmission of messages from Harrier Eagle.

From these young people who have not yet become adults, Gongsun Xiao not only saw the rigor of the order and prohibition, but also saw the fleeting evil aura exuded from their bodies from time to time. The so-called evil spirit is a very mysterious feeling, Gongsun Xiao, who has been fighting on the battlefield since he was a child, has a keen intuition, and can easily distinguish whether the other party has killed someone and whether he has been on the battlefield. And these young boys, the evil qi on their bodies is definitely filled with human life, although they have been suppressed vigorously, they still can't control it, extremely feminine, not like the blood qi of going into battle to kill the enemy, but similar to assassins and the like.

Gongsun Yu couldn't help but think of the chief officer of Yulin Wei, and Yulin servant shot Gongsun He. General Hu Cai is a military position only set up in wartime, and the Hu Cai School is stationed in Beijing in peacetime, so Gongsun Wei has always lived in Chang'an Gongsun Mansion, and naturally knows his nephew Gongsun He very well. This lazy boy who has been in the army with his father since he was a child, has entered the prince/palace and become a close minister of the prince, and has inexplicably become a little unfathomable. Gongsun Yu once felt a little ridiculous that he had put the "unfathomable" on the head of Gongsun He, who had not yet become a child. However, Gongsun He Ping said, although he was still as lazy and scoundrel as he was a child, laughing and scolding, Gongsun Xiao could detect the meaning of scrutiny and defense from his casual demeanor and eyes from time to time.

It wasn't until Gongsun He became a Yulin servant and was in charge of the newly organized Yulin School, and then looked at the several Yulin teenagers around him, that Gongsun He became more and more sure of his intuition, his own nephew had grown into a leading general of a mysterious army, and it was likely to be a military force that His Majesty and the prince attached great importance to. Perhaps Gongsun He at this time is the most promising person in the Gongsun family, and even more prosperous than the head of the family, Gongsun Kunxie, the holy family. Gongsun Wei felt a little lost in his heart, and he felt like he was being slapped to death on the beach by the back waves.

Just when Gongsun Xiao looked at the pale yellow river and was a little distracted, the personal guard stepped forward and reported: "General, the front is looking for Malai to report, and more than 1,000 Hun cavalry have been found in the north, and the horse speed is not fast, according to which there are still 100 miles." ”

Gongsun Xiao was overjoyed when he heard this, no matter how good his nephew Gongsun He was, he had an excellent opportunity to kill the enemy chief and make great achievements, he shouted loudly: "Pass the order, all put on the armor and get on the horse, and a moment later, follow the general to capture the flag and capture the chief!" Those who make the first contribution will be rewarded with 100 catties and 10 female slaves! ”

The guards took the order, and a moment later, there was a burst of excited cheers all around. The soldiers who had already been ready to go had their horses on their horses and gathered under the banner of the Han Dynasty's Xuanxi Army, lined up in a neat phalanx.

Gongsun Xiao rode on a red horse worth tens of millions, galloped back and forth along the front of the stretching mile, raised his saber, and shouted: "Do you want a reward?!" ”

The heralds in front of the battalions shouted, "Do you want a reward?!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers replied loudly.

"Do you want?!"

"Yes!"

"Go with me to kill the Huns!"

Gongsun Xiao grinned and said with a big smile, not considering that he still had some Hun blood in his body. Then he turned the horse's head and galloped away. Behind him, the battle banner hunted, and thousands of horses galloped, like a rolling torrent, surging towards the north.
