Leng Jue's group of guards couldn't understand the posture in front of them, but they had to obey King Yan's orders.

"Let's go!"

Leng Jue took a deep breath and could only walk out.

It's just that before everyone went out, they all looked at Old Man Xu with very pitiful and pleading eyes.

However, their gaze did not receive any response.

In fact, after the interruption of the cold group of people, most of the resentment and anger in Old Man Xu's heart have been dissipated.

As the general of Huangfengkou, Old Man Xu actually understood King Yan's thoughts.

The big picture counts!

If it weren't for the overall situation, he wouldn't have led 5,000 men out of the city to fight.

Although Xu Laosan prepared firecrackers, the facts also proved that his judgment was correct, when part of the Northern Barbarian cavalry rushed to the city, Xu Laosan's firecrackers blocked the enemy, and only played a little effect.

Firecrackers, after all, are not the thunder and earth of the founding emperor Taizu.

Old Man Xu did not continue to fight with King Yan, but sat on the stone pier in the courtyard dejectedly, silent.

King Yan slowly walked up to Old Man Xu and didn't speak, just sat down on another stone pier.

This sitting is a night.

Old Man Xu didn't squeak, and King Yan didn't squeak either.

The entire Huangfengkou Pass is very quiet and depressing.

Big Brother Xu didn't say anything, just silently collected the corpses of his brothers who died in battle.

It wasn't until dawn and the light of day that everyone's bodies were finished.

It's autumn, and the morning here in Longxi Mansion is really cold.

Boss Xu only appeared at the door of the small courtyard after completing all the decorations.

"Dad, the bodies of all my brothers have been buried!"

"Then, go home!"

"Send them home!"

Old Man Xu slowly stood up, holding his spear.

After sitting all night, Old Man Xu, who didn't move, stiffened his body at this time. He wouldn't have wanted to stand up without a spear.

And King Yan also got up, but he almost fell to the ground without support, but he still reacted quickly and stepped forward to support him, so that he didn't fall to the ground.

"Beat the drums!"

Old man Xu, who walked out of the yard, closed his eyes and slowly exhaled the turbidity in his chest.

"Beat the drums!"

Boss Xu followed and passed on his father's order.

Then, the rumbling war drums sounded at the Huangfengkou Pass.

Old Man Xu walked to the whole row of coffins, waved his hand violently, and said sharply: "Take the Northern Barbarian King!" ”

"Dad, here!"

Xu Lao Er personally brought the Northern Barbarian King who he captured alive, "What's the matter?" ”

"Slashed!"

Old Man Xu glanced at the Northern Barbarian King who was holding his neck, and directly dropped such an answer.

"No!"

"I'm the Northern Barbarian King, you can't kill me!"

"I want to see Emperor Tang, and I'm willing to surrender!"

"Don't kill me!"

When the Northern Barbarian King heard that Old Man Xu was going to cut him, he immediately panicked.

He is the king of the Northern Barbarians, but he is also a man.

In the past, he was in the Northern Barbarians, although he was constrained by the high priest many times, but he was still the supreme existence. How could he, who was so high, be willing to die?

However, Old Man Xu directly kicked the Northern Barbarian King away.

"Not to kill you?"

"If I don't kill you, I'm sorry for the more than 4,000 brothers who died here!"

"Er, bring a knife!"

"I'm going to cut this dog thing myself!"

Beiban and Datang, obviously there has not been a large-scale war for more than ten years, but it was this dog thing that provoked the war and killed many people.

"Wu Chengbo!"

Seeing that Xu Lao Er was looking for a knife, King Yan finally rushed over with the support of Leng Ji and hurriedly spoke.

Last night, King Yan didn't know that the Northern Barbarian King had been captured here.

Now that he knows it, he can't let Old Man Xu cut down the Northern Barbarian King like this.

"If you kill the Northern Barbarian King now, it won't help."

"Cousin, the overall situation is important!"

King Yan approached Old Man Xu and whispered, "Count me begging you!" ”

Killing the Northern Barbarian King, whether this matter is big or small, even if it is King Yan, he can't tell for a while.

But one thing is certain, the living Northern Barbarian King is more useful than the dead Northern Barbarian King.

"Brothers, whatever this king owes you, no matter what you say, you will not be able to see or hear again!"

"But I, Li Zhen, swear here as the Prince of the Tang Dynasty that I will avenge your revenge!"

"Your family, I, Li Zhen, will also take care of it!"

"You, be worshiped by my Li Zhen, all the way, go well!"

As he spoke, Li Zhen knelt down facing the countless coffins placed in the Huangfengkou Pass City.

"Let's go!"

At the moment when King Yan knelt down, almost everyone present knelt down and shouted "Let's go".

Old Man Xu stood in place, looking at the coffin that could not be seen at a glance, and slowly knelt down.

"Brothers, go home!"

He took them out, thinking he would be able to bring them back one by one.

But now, he can only send their bodies back.

Kowtowing three times heavily, Old Man Xu slowly stood up and waved his hand violently.

"Go home!"

"Go home!"

The coffin was carried onto the carriage, one cart and one coffin, the paper money was flying, and the suona was blowing.

The Northern Barbarian King fell to his knees, trembling.

As the coffin left, the Yellow Wind Pass was quickly empty.

Guan Ting, the garrison captain of the Yellow Wind Mouth, still stays here, and he must stay here until the imperial court's order comes.

King Yan also stayed at the Huangfengkou Pass.

The Northern Barbarians were defeated, but the Northern Barbarian King was captured alive, and it was impossible for the Northern Barbarians to be unresponsive. Of course, he will not wait for the Beiban side to react first, but will strike first.

"Leng Jue, immediately send someone to the Northern Barbarians, and ask them if they still want their king!"

"Order!"

Leng Jue got the instructions of King Yan, and immediately sent all the people to the Beiban to spread the word.

……

As for how King Yan planned to plan the Northern Barbarians, Old Man Xu didn't care at all.

All he knew was that the battle was finally over.

It's just that the results weren't perfect.

"Old man, don't take it too seriously, we people are all cheap."

"No one blames you for your dead brother!"

"We followed you out, but we all took the money for selling our lives."

The surviving soldiers of Xiangyi Mansion Town, who were walking beside Old Man Xu, saw that Old Man Xu was frowning all the way, and couldn't help but speak.

"I know!"

Old Man Xu smiled bitterly, "Actually, you are all involved in me!" ”

"Don't say that, old man."

"Those of us, if we didn't have this, we wouldn't be able to make so much money if we stayed at home for the rest of our lives."

"I'll tell you the truth, the one over there is my brother."

"Our brothers and sons are considered to inherit their father's business, and they both became soldiers."

"But the little food and salary of the garrison army in the town is to feed our brothers and our mother, and we can't even marry our daughter-in-law!"

"Now, my brother is gone. But I can go to my daughter-in-law, and when I give birth to a son, I will pass it on to my brother's name and offer incense to my brother, and this life will be over! ”

——————

"Old man, don't feel sorry for us!"

"Even if I didn't come with you on this trip, if this northern barbarian broke the Yellow Wind Mouth, we people would have to be dragged over and desperate."

"Speaking of which, we all owe you and the second master!"

"Old man, if you want to be sad again, these dead brothers of ours are also difficult to look at under Jiuquan!"

"Old man, Brother Lu is right!"

"We have always owed you this!"

"Speaking of which, if you hadn't trained us for so long, if it weren't for the second master who fought the Northern Barbarians alone twice, we would have all been lying in the back!"

"That's not the reason!"

A few of the surrounding soldiers chimed in.

They don't complain about anyone, since they have become soldiers and received food and salaries, they must understand that sooner or later there will be such a day.

If you're lucky, if you don't encounter a war in your life, you can have a good life.

If you're unlucky, you'll die on the battlefield.

If you are unlucky, you may not even have a corpse. Or, it's just a big hole buried, and who knows who?

Old Man Xu let out a sigh of relief and said, "I thank you!" ”

He knew that these people were telling the truth.

But even if he was telling the truth, Old Man Xu was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

But Mr. Xu also understands that the deceased are gone, and the living still have to continue to live.

The mighty procession crossed Longxi Mansion and turned all the way back to Xiangyi Mansion.

Then, the teams diverged.

It is impossible for Old Man Xu to send everyone home, he can only selectively send some people home.

Since this day, everywhere in Xiangyi Mansion, there has been continuous suona.

After arriving in Linjiao, the old man Xu met with Shen Wansheng and talked for half an hour, then left the city and went straight to Maoyuan County.

The town army of Maoyuan County, under the leadership of Li Kang, blocked the southward and northern barbarian cavalry, and this favor must be repaid.

Of course, it is impossible for Old Man Xu to come forward directly.

He brought Shen Wansheng's official letter and found Maoyuan County Ling Chu Xiuyan.
