Chapter 36: Zhu Kai
Although the days have slowly entered the cold winter, the Yumen Fortress Guard's Mansion is noisy and lively.
"Haha, can the generals tell Gu what happened on this battlefield?" Meng Li, who had not received news from Xiaoruo, recuperated for two more days and held a meeting in the hall of the Shoujiang's Mansion. First, it is indispensable to reward meritorious deeds after the war, otherwise who will give you your life to work in the future; Second, Meng Li, who didn't know anything about the cuteness since he was a child, wanted to know what happened later to make this war understand.
As for discussing the elements of development? Of course, it was also necessary, but Meng Li, who had not yet had time to receive the task reward, decided to discuss the future development policy after obtaining two more gift packages. After all, there is also a political direction of the strategist gift package, the next few years must be a few years to accumulate strength, and political talents must also be a few years to take the lead. Therefore, this meeting, after Meng Li first solved the doubts in his heart, he obtained the two big gift packages of generals and strategists before holding it.
"Lord, let Jia tell the lord about what happened." After looking around, Guo Jia, the generals who looked at their noses and mouths, had to stand up and work hard.
Seeing Guo Jia standing up, the generals secretly snickered, it's not that the buddies don't pay attention to righteousness, it's that our mouth is good at eating and drinking, and it's really not suitable for storytelling. A boring story, no one wants to hear it, does it? Besides, it seems like a good choice to listen to your own vivid heroic deeds again. Xu Shu wanted to help, but when he arrived in the end, he only learned about the situation and how to know what was going on in this pass. So this Guo Jia has to stand up~
"After the lord fainted, we were all very shocked~"
……
"Kill!" Dian Wei, who was originally fighting to the death, did not trigger the skill of 'Protector' because this mission was different from the usual to protect Meng Li, so his ability was weakened by more than a layer. So he was entangled by five good players with first-class military strength, and he was also consumed by several of them.
But seeing Meng Li's falling, Dian Wei involuntarily triggered the skill of 'Protector', and instantly reached the peak of his life, almost reaching the state of full force value. Naturally, Dian Wei, who had reached the critical value of 99, killed three enemy generals like chopping melons and vegetables, while the remaining two fled without hesitation. The mighty Dian Wei brought a bloody storm on the city wall, but it was only the bloody rain from the place where he was to the place where Meng Li fell.
The main problem was that Zhang Liao finally showed up with his 3,000 elite horsemen who had been lurking for a day, and after rushing the crippled army resting in the rear of the siege army to attack the direct army of the Northern Xiongnu king, he successfully disrupted their formation, and they also began to kill each other.
Taking advantage of this effort, Zhang Liao led the three thousand elite horsemen to slip at the foot of the city, cutting off the ladders and well railings one after another. The Xiongnu soldiers at the head of the city, who had no follow-up support, were finally killed by the back-and-forth support of Dian Wei, Cao Xing, and Chen Qingzhi.
The siege was stopped, and the army on the walls had one last chance to survive.
On the second day, Xu Shu and Atoto, who hurried to come day and night. Kai's 3,000 elite cavalry also joined Zhang Liao's cavalry and gathered together, harassing the camp of the Northern Xiongnu from time to time. In this case, if the Northern Xiongnu gritted their teeth and relentlessly disregarded the casualties, they might not be able to annihilate the 6,000 army and then break through the Yumen fortress.
But at this time, Xu Shu's back hand played a role, that's right, it was the non-stop looting for two days!
To say that the Xiongnu did not have logistical grain and grass support, their daily food and drink were supported by the herdsmen who went down with the army. Xu Shu's raiding route directly cut off the herdsmen who continued to go south, so that at this moment the Huns ate all kinds of dried meat and dairy products chewed by horses, and the panicked grain and grass officials would of course report this situation to their king, so this matter exploded in the camp of the Northern Huns, and it was originally seen that the Yumen Fortress was about to be captured, and the various armies could be obtained from it to eat and drink before they settled down, and united to attack the Yumen Fortress. However, after Zhang Liao's shock, their last hope was dispelled, so the various Xiongnu magnates who had changed their minds also forced their king to retreat.
There are a variety of reasons. For example, it is normal for food and grass to be maintained, and there is also the fact that their own nest is forced, how can they be in the mood to beat others, and some are similar to Helian who said that the wolf god is still in Dragon City and wants to go back to protect it. Anyway, each has its own reason, but in short, in short, tell their king that they are going to retire!
Originally, the king, who only brought 10,000 elite horsemen directly under him to the south this time, couldn't stop the persuasion of various magnates, so he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, looked at the crumbling Yumen Fortress with red eyes and said, Let's withdraw.
At this moment, the army of Helian, which was still resting on the grassland, was very good to bear the anger of the Northern Xiongnu, and the 30,000 troops were scattered everywhere by the elite cavalry drawn from the main army of the Northern Xiongnu, and the wealth of the past was also lost and scattered.
"Happy, happy!" After listening to Guo Jia's description, Meng Li applauded loudly. The attack of the Northern Xiongnu made him fearful for nine whole days. The army was also almost completely lost in these nine days, so he couldn't help but applaud after hearing the fate of the Northern Xiongnu.
Similarly, he also applauded Xu Shu's plan. Using Helian's greedy and arrogant character for himself not only attracted the attention of the Northern Xiongnu so that they had to retreat, but also greatly allowed Helian to plunder the population and wealth of the Northern Xiongnu. At the same time, he has not yet kidnapped a young man of the Southern Huns and three thousand elite horsemen on the grassland, which is enough to make up for his losses in this battle!
"You have done a good job, I have thanked you here." He stood up and made a great salute to the hard-working generals.
"Don't dare, don't dare~"
"Thanks to the blessing of the lord~"
……
A burst of sycophants smashed at the bottom, which made Meng Li, who had just woken up, dizzy for a while.
"So, Yuan Zhi, I don't know this, well, Atoto, right, where is Kai?" Although it is said that the young talents of this Hun are not as good as the many generals they have summoned, after all, they can't always use the generals they summoned. Although he must have selfish intentions, besides, people have brought him three thousand fine horsemen, and he can't say where anyone will serve him in the future. In ancient times, Meng Li had heard the story of 'buying horse bones with a thousand gold'.
"Waiting outside the hall~" Xu Shu replied.
"Pass him in~" After a routine answer, I saw a bearded general with a yellowish face, a flat head, and a little beard on his forehead walking in.
"The people of the Aliens, Atoto. Kai saw His Royal Highness Yannanhou, may His Royal Highness enjoy the immortal blessings forever, and live with Tianqi~ "Who said that Hu people don't understand culture, I will shoot him to death!" The civil officials of the former Yumen Fortress who said this were too ashamed to see people.
"Well, ahhhhh Kay, yes. Meng Li, who cleared his throat, seemed to want to ask something, while the people below all pricked up their ears and prepared to listen carefully to their master's voice.
"Is your surname Atoto, or is your last name?" The sound of people falling down was incessant. To be honest, this question has plagued Meng Li for two lifetimes, and he has always been confused about the difference between the surnames and first names of these Hu people.
With his mouth open, he clicked twice. Kai seems to want to say that you are Yannanhou, the Yannanhou who is powerful in all directions, dare you adjust a little!
But he had already decided to defect to Meng Li, and it was okay for him to talk in his heart, so there was no need to say it.
"Atotokh is the name of our tribe, and the people outside the country are called Kai~" It's better to patiently explain it to the big guy in the future, and the province will leave a bad impression.
"Oh~, then you just don't have a surname, right?" It turns out that the names of these Hu people came from like this, and there are no surnames, let alone characters and numbers.
"Yes, please give the lord a name~" Beat the snake with the stick, let the big guy give a name, and think more about himself in the future, he will be able to be a high-ranking official Houlu in his hand, and he is familiar with the Han classics. Kai still knows the conventions of this Han people. It's not that you can get to the top if you have the ability, it's that you can get on the top if you talk a lot in the mouths of the people above you.
"Are you a pig?" Look at Atoto. Kai's stunned appearance, Meng Li couldn't help but think of the verbal word Chen He of the 'Run, Brother' program group that everyone watched together.
"Thank you for the name, Zhu Kai is very grateful~" I saw Atoto, who was given the surname 'Zhu'. Kai knew that this surname was once a hero on the side of the powerful. This contains the lord's ardent expectations for himself~
Zhu Kai, who was looking at Meng Li at a loss with tears in his eyes, thought at this time, my lord, 'pig' Kai will live up to your surname!
