After defeating the Xiongnu army, Li Guang did not stop there, but pushed all the way to Dunhuang, and showed off his force in front of the Western Regions before returning to Chang'an!

At the same time, Liu Che also issued a decree that, in addition to Wuwei County, Jiuquan County, Zhangye County and Dunhuang County should be newly established in Hexi, so that the four counties would officially bring the land of Hexi into the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, and send soldiers and horses to guard the town, settle officials to govern, and migrate immigrants to enrich the local household registration; I believe that in a few years, the people of Dahan will completely digest this place.

On the Eastern Front, Cheng Buzhi's defense made the army of the military minister Shan Yu return in vain, guarding the peace of Henan and Hebei, and the people of the Han Dynasty began to realize from this moment that the Xiongnu seemed to be far less powerful than they imagined!

The Xiongnu retreated, and Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi received Liu Che's will to return to Chang'an to accept the reward; Leaving Gongsun Ao on duty in Hexi, Li Guang took Wei Qing, Li You and others on the way back to Chang'an.

"Hey, what a pity! General Chen and General Pan will die at the hands of the Huns! In the middle of the team, Wei Qing comforted Li You with a sad face, "If it weren't for this, with General Chen's wisdom and General Pan's bravery, it would be okay to make meritorious contributions in the future!" ”

"Yes! But this battle is finally a big victory! Presumably the two of them will be pleased, right? Li You also made a sad appearance and forcibly squeezed out a few tears; His mission in Dahan has long been completed, and now it seems that it is time to return! Pan Feng and Chen Qingzhi had actually been sent back to the Tiger Fu by him, and dying at the hands of the Huns was just a perfunctory excuse for everyone! Otherwise, when the time comes, how will Zhang Qian explain the reason why Chen Qingzhi and Pan Feng disappeared?

"Don't be sad about Dr. Zhang, when he returns to Chang'an, he will definitely ask for a reward for the two of them!" Li Guang also comforted him, he has made a great contribution now, and the matter of sealing the marquis is almost nine times out of ten! Now it can be said that I am complacent!

As a soldier, he is much more indifferent to life and death than ordinary people! In addition, Li You deliberately changed the topic, and soon the three of them discussed the reward after returning to Chang'an!

"I once heard that Emperor Wen once said to the general, 'If the general was born in Gaozu, it would be okay to seal the marquis of ten thousand households!' Returning to Chang'an this time, the general will be able to fulfill his long-cherished wish with this great achievement! Li You was also quite relieved after praising Li Guang, maybe there will never be a joke in this world that "Feng Tang is easy to get old, Li Guang is difficult to seal", right? It's just that I don't know what kind of marquis Liu Che will give him?

"Ben will be able to win this battle, and the doctor should be the first to take the lead! If it weren't for the fact that a doctor explored the terrain of Hexi and helped the Dayue clan defeat Wusun, so that the Xiongnu had to go to the Western Regions, resulting in the emptiness of troops in Hexi, and offering saddles, stirrups and horseshoes to greatly increase the combat strength of the Han soldiers, it would be easier said than done to win this battle! Li Guang also laughed and praised Li You, "When I return to Chang'an this time, the doctor will definitely be rewarded with the title of marquis!" There is also General Wei who went to Yanzhi Mountain to block the way of the Xiongnu, and then killed King Hutu and captured the King of Kunxie, which is also a great achievement."

Not only them, the generals, but also the soldiers below were also happily calculating how much money the imperial court would reward when they returned to Chang'an this time! The joy of victory filled the whole team! I don't know who started first, and the army began to sing the song "Hu No Man" that Li You sang when he left Chang'an.

"The wind blows and frosts, the seaweed withers, and the muscles are dry and strong.

There were 300,000 soldiers of the Han family, and the general was also the leader of Li Yao.

The meteor white feather is inserted around the waist, and the sword flower autumn lotus light is out of the box.

The heavenly soldiers shine on the snow under the jade pass, and the captured arrows shoot golden armor like sand.

The clouds, dragons, winds and tigers are all handed back, and the enemy can be destroyed when Taibai enters the moon.

The enemy can be destroyed, the head is destroyed, and the intestines of the beard are involved in the blood.

Hanging Hu in the sky, burying Hu Zi plugged around.

Hu no one, Han Daochang.

His Majesty's life is three thousand frosts.

But the song is flying, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet! ”

It's just that their mood at this time is very different from when they set off, and although they are full of pride before leaving, they are not without worries and apprehensions about the war! And at this moment, all that remains is the joy after the big victory, and the pride from the bottom of my heart! Yes, those ferocious Huns are far from being the opponents of the Han Dynasty, this time we have recovered the land west of the river, and in the future we will go north from Henan, sweep away Mobei, and drive the Huns far away! At that time, Dahan will naturally usher in prosperity!

Just like when he set off, when the army returned, Liu Che also took the important ministers of the Han Dynasty to meet him ten miles outside Chang'an City! Even before he could return to the city, he decreed a reward:

Li Guang was canonized as the Marquis of Le'an (in fact, the title of Li Guang's younger brother Li Cai in the future) because he led the army to break the Xiongnu, recovered the four counties of Hexi, and shot the king of Luhou (in fact, the title of Li Guang's younger brother Li Cai in the future), and ate 3,000 households!

And Cheng Buzhi was also named a marquis because of his outstanding performance in the war on the Eastern Front, and the number of food estates reached 2,500, second only to Li Guang among the generals; The two of them, who also have no feudal lords in history, have no regrets in this world!

Wei Qing was named Marquis of Changping for leading the vanguard to occupy Yanzhi Mountain, breaking the remnants of the Huns, killing the King of Hugh Tu, and capturing the King of Kun (in history, he defeated the King of Aries and the King of Loufu in Henan in the second year of Yuanjia and won this reward), and there were 2,000 households in the city!

Gongsun Ao was also canonized as a marquis of Heqi because of his outstanding performance on the flank of the army, and he had a thousand households!

As for Li You's side, of course, he will not be left behind by Liu Che, he was canonized as the Marquis of Bowang by Liu Che with the same merits as he was in history by virtue of his envoy to the Western Regions, offering sand tables and new harnesses, and the food is the same as Li Guang There are 3,000 households, but there are 1,000 more households than in real history!

When the army returned to Chang'an, the whole city was plunged into great jubilation! The Han Dynasty, who had been bullied by the Huns, was finally ashamed today, and countless people poured into the streets to look at these soldiers who had returned from a great victory! There were endless cheers, and even bold women threw their tokens to those handsome soldiers, hoping to achieve a good marriage.

And the benefits of this big victory to Liu Che are not only this, defeating the Xiongnu to recover the four counties of Hexi has greatly increased his prestige, and the Empress Dowager Dou in the deep palace has no excuse to stop him from pro-government! had to convey the will to officially hand over the power of the court to Liu Che, and since then Liu Che can finally start to govern the country according to his own ideas in the court without being hindered by the Empress Dowager Dou!

After the banquet, Li You refused the banquet invitation of the ministers of the court and returned to his mansion! There is only so much I can do for Dahan, and now although the time of three years has not yet arrived, it seems that it is time to return!
