[117] The official was reinstated
After King Wuheng was killed, the morale of the Xiongnu army plummeted, and Yu Shaoqing used the body of King Wuheng to lure them back for hundreds of miles.
But this should not be taken lightly, after all, there are 100,000 Hun troops stationed in the northwest camp, and it is easy to counterattack them.
The death of King Wuheng, although it temporarily relieved the urgent need, but also brought a greater crisis, and the Huns were bound to avenge King Wuheng at all costs.
Can't face the Huns anymore......
"How long will it take to dig through the canyon?" Yu Shaoqing asked with an awe-inspiring face.
"Come on, Commander!" A soldier named Gui'er said.
After Yan Congming returned, he was the highest-ranking general here, but for some reason, everyone still consciously obeyed Yu Shaoqing's orders.
Yan Congming pursed his lips, and was about to regain command when Yu Shaoqing struck with a cold eye: "Shut up!" ”
Yan Congming shut up aggrievedly.
Yu Shaoqing wanted to complete General Xiao's last order, and he could not afford to miss a moment, although everyone did not know this inside story, they all followed him without distraction.
Yan Congming is like an isolated individual, if he still wants to stay in the team, it is best to obediently clamp his tail.
Da Niu died, and he died under the sword of the Huns with two recruits who joined the army two days earlier than him, and the recruits lacked battlefield experience, and it was easiest for cannon fodder to be under the enemy's knife.
"Da Niu died to save me...... Xiao Yu cried breathlessly, "I'm a waste...... What did he do to save me......"
Wu San didn't speak, patted him on the shoulder, and buried the bodies of the three Da Niu with the brothers.
Da Niu is a very good recruit, he has even overtaken many old scouts who have been trained secretly, he should not die here, if he is trained, he will definitely be able to play a greater role in the battlefield in the future.
Wu San lamented and handed over the three iron plates to Yu Shaoqing.
Yu Shaoqing put the iron plaque into a wooden box wrapped in white cloth, which was full of iron plaques of the deceased soldiers, and on top of it lay General Xiao's.
Maybe one day, his iron medals will be placed here for the surviving soldiers to bring back to his hometown.
"Commander, dig through!" Gui'er said.
"Let's go." Yu Shaoqing closed the wooden box.
The bull was dead, and a frostbite-healed veteran took over the scout's duties and made his way forward.
The crowd supported each other and kept up.
A young and sturdy figure, not far behind the team, he was the only soldier who did not listen to Yu Shaoqing's orders, and the only one who did not fit in, he held a sword in his arms, his eyes were sad and dull, like an abandoned orphan.
"Old Yu, look." Wu San tugged at Yu Shaoqing's arm.
Yu Shaoqing glanced back and said helplessly: "General Xiao's death hit him hard. ”
"I heard that he was picked up by General Xiao, did you see the sword? It was General Xiao's personal sword, which was given to him. Wu San whispered, "When the Huns rushed over, he was simply red-eyed, but he also saved the lives of many brothers. ”
If it weren't for this, they were afraid that they would not be able to hold back Lao Yu, and they would all die under the sword of the Huns.
"What's his name?" Yu Shaoqing couldn't remember his name for a while.
Wu San said: "Zhou Huai." ”
……
The bad news of the Northwest Battalion was transmitted to the capital half a month after the incident, and the 800-mile urgent military situation was presented to the imperial study, and the emperor was stunned if he was hit on the head!
The ministers of military aircraft looked at each other, the emperor's face was not quite right, such a big thing happened, shouldn't he be angry? How does it look...... Like you're stupid?
To talk about this accident, they are also wronged, the border pass has been coming news, saying that the Huns' 100,000 troops are advancing into Youzhou at full speed, preparing to launch a general attack on Youzhou on Chinese New Year's Eve, who would have expected that the information was wrong, and the real Xiongnu army was diverted to the northwest camp.
The Northwest Battalion was wiped out, and there was no one alive, so naturally there was no way to spread the news, or the nearby camp ran out of grain and grass, and wanted to go to the Northwest Camp to borrow grain and grass, only to find out by mistake that the camp had been captured by the Huns.
According to the soldier who borrowed grain and grass, all the Huns had changed into the armor of the Northwest Army, and some of them were very fluent in Chinese, and if it were not for the fact that one of the Huns happened to be his fellow villagers, he would not have noticed that this group of people was fake.
He didn't show anything unusual, got the grain and grass and left.
First there was a mistake in the military situation, and then the northwest camp was slaughtered, but the imperial court had no news at all.
It is also the life of this soldier, the camp he is in is not subordinate to Youzhou, there is no need to deliver news to Youzhou, otherwise it will come and go, so that Youzhou's fine work will take advantage of the loopholes, not to mention sending military information, he will even lose his life.
The emperor's face became very ugly.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the ministers of military aircraft knelt on the ground in an uproar.
Just as they were waiting to bear the emperor's thunderous wrath, the emperor got up and walked away without looking back!
Ministers: "......"
The emperor went to the dungeon and met Gao Yuan in person.
Gao Yuan had been imprisoned for half a month and had become very weak, he knew why the emperor came, and it was precisely because he knew that he burst into tears on the spot.
The emperor clenched his fists and said with forbearance: "Really...... Did no one survive? ”
"Also...... There is one more person alive. Gao Yuan said with difficulty.
"Who?" The emperor asked.
Gao Yuan was about to say the name that had accumulated in his chest, but he was exhausted and fainted.
"Tall, sir!" Father-in-law Wang stepped forward and pinched Gao Yuanrenzhong, but to no avail.
"There are still people alive...... "the Emperor muttered thoughtfully, "who could it be?" ”
Wang Gonggong pondered: "Could it be General Xiao?" General Xiao is brave, if anyone can really fight his way out of the encirclement, the slave thinks, he is the only one left. ”
The Emperor nodded approvingly.
For major national events, Father-in-law Wang didn't have the courage to talk much, so he only looked at Gao Yuan on the side and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Gao fainted, and the slave went to invite a doctor?" ”
The emperor waved his hand: "Send the sacrificial wine back to the house, and tell the imperial doctor to heal him, and make sure that he is safe and sound." ”
A sacrificial wine reinstated Gao Yuanguan to his original position.
Wang Gonggong said in his heart that this lofty is really powerful, offending the emperor, two wastes and two stands, and he is the first person in the past.
The emperor called the commander of the Praetorian Guard again: "Go and tell Xiao Zhenting that his nephew escaped from the northwest camp alive and is on his way to Youzhou, let him go to pick him up in person." ”
"Personally?" The commander of the Praetorian Guard was stunned, "Your Majesty ......"
The emperor closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "I know what I'm doing, you can go." ”
“…… Be. The Praetorian Guards clenched their fists and went to the Xiao Mansion with a complicated expression. Mobile phone users please browse and read, and a better reading experience comes from Aiwang.
