Chapter 126: A Great Victory

The addition of the First Route Army soon turned this battle into a pursuit and escape rout, and the Xia army in three directions pursued and killed the Hu army scattered and fled northward like wolves chasing sheep.

Li He and Li Bu and others ran all the way for more than ten miles, killing countless enemies, and did not return to Huapingye until dusk.

Under the blood-colored sunset, the vast Huapingye Plain was full of the corpses of soldiers and war horses of Hu and Xia, blood gurgling and flowing, swords and guns were everywhere, groups of flies and insects were wandering around, and a few big vultures were circling in the sky.

How many people died? Li He didn't know, but there were at least tens of thousands, plus those who died in battle a few days ago, the Hu and Xia clans left nearly 100,000 corpses in Hua Pingye in just a dozen days. Especially in today's battle, the Hu people would rather die than surrender, and they fled a lot, but most of them were still killed by the Xia army, and there was a strong smell of blood wafting between heaven and earth, choking people's noses and throats.

Now, there are tens of thousands of Xia soldiers cleaning the battlefield alone, and the Xia soldiers are helping their companions, piling their corpses together, and stabbing those Hu people who have not yet lost their breath. In the distance, tens of thousands of soldiers of the First Route Army are building new camps, and the old camp of the Second Route Army has been surrounded by corpses, and everyone is reluctant to go back, just the smell of blood and [***] is uncomfortable enough.

As soon as Li He, Li Bu and the others returned, a soldier came to report that General Weng had asked them to go to the front slope to find him.

Before he reached the dirt slope, Li He first met You Bi and other soldiers of the Tiger Battalion, and when he saw Da Fei running over unharmed, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

Li Bu looked at Da Fei and said strangely: "Brother Li, this Western Regions Mastiff is yours?" ”

Li He nodded on the horse and said, "Yes, Brother Li, is there any problem?" ”

"This kind of mastiff is rare in the Central Plains, and my sister also has one. Tsk, but you're a lot more powerful. Lai sermoned.

Li He was surprised: "Sister Ling also has one?" ”

Li Budao: "Yes, it was brought to me by General Shaoyan when he came back from the Western Regions, but I am too lazy to raise it, but my sister likes it very much, and she takes good care of it." Hehe, you should be a male, but my sister's is a female. As he spoke, he looked at Li He with an ambiguous expression and said, "It's just a pair...... It's just a pair of ......, but I don't know if Li He and his sister are a pair, or if Da Fei and her sister's female mastiff are a pair.

Li He coughed embarrassedly and said, "General Weng is still waiting for us, let's go." Originally, if Li Bu hadn't sold his sister to him like this, if he had learned that he had a sister, he would have inquired vigorously, but now he felt a little hairy in his heart, and he always felt that Li Bu was like throwing hot taro.

When Li He and Li Bu arrived on the dirt slope, Weng Yuan and several generals of the Second Route Army were talking and laughing with more than a dozen generals who were fresh, thinking that those dozen generals should be from the First Route Army.

Weng Yuan saw Li He and Li Bu dismount and come over, and said with a smile: "You two are finally back, come and see General Xiao Han." As he spoke, he said to a general in his forties with a white face next to him: "General Xiao, this is the martial champion Li Bu, and this is General Li He Li I just told you, and he is definitely the first fierce general in my Great Xia!" This time, he was able to successfully break the main force of the Hu army, and he should be the first to take the lead. ”

Li He and Li Bu hurriedly stepped forward to salute General Na Xiao, but they wondered in their hearts, this person was not Lin Tianwen, the commander of the First Army and the commander of the three armies of Great Xia, why did Weng Yuan have such a humble attitude?

General Xiao squinted his eyes, looked at the two of them with a smile on his face, and frequently bowed his head and said: "Sure enough, good talent, good talent!" I have heard of General Li's might in the capital for a long time, and he can be said to be one of the most outstanding young generals in my Great Xia. ”

Li Bu hurriedly said the award, looking at his appearance, he also had a lot of respect for this Xiao Han, obviously knowing his identity.

General Xiao looked at Li He again and said, "General Li also looks very brave, and even General Weng is highly praised. Listen to him, you are from Huyang, you are not yet seventeen this year, and you have just joined the army? I don't know what the relationship between General Li and the Governor of Qinglin, Li Sihong, Lord Li? ”

Weng Yuan next to him was stunned when he heard this, and then remembered that Li You, surnamed Li in Huyang, was in the position of commander as soon as he joined the army, and it was obviously impossible for him to have nothing to do with Li Sihong, so he couldn't help but secretly scolded himself for being negligent, why didn't he ask first.

Li He said: "Back to General Xiao, that's my father." ”

The generals present, including Li Bu, were all shocked, but they didn't expect Li He to be Li Sihong's son. Thinking that Li Sihong has no concubines, only a wife from the Zhen family, then Li He is also the grandson of the prince of Yandong! The prestige and influence of the prince of Yandong in the army is extraordinary, and the grandson of a generation of famous generals naturally wants to make people even more impressive. However, the current Li He does not need to rely on his family background to attract the attention of others, and the absolute strength he has shown in these days has left a deep impression on him from the Second Route Army to Weng Yuan, Li Bu, and ordinary soldiers. Almost as long as you mention bravery, invincibility, and the god of war, you will definitely think of Li He.

"It turned out to be the grandson of the prince of Yandong, no wonder, no wonder!" Weng Yuan nodded in admiration.

Xiao Han said with a smile: "Hehe, sure enough, there are no dogs in the gate, although I haven't seen General Li's tiger power, but looking at the general's robe, you can know a thing or two." ”

At this time, Li He's body was still stained with plasma, and it looked a little terrifying, originally Li Bu was also covered in blood, but when he stood next to Li He, he looked quite clean.

After chatting a few more words, Li He knew that the general Xiao in front of him was the brother-in-law of the emperor of the current dynasty, a relative of the emperor and the country, who had always been respected and trusted by the emperor, and was a powerful figure in the army. They arrived at Lingchuan first, Lin Tianwen only dared to engage the suspected Hu people in Lingchuan after they had reinforcements, and found that the Hu army in Lingchuan was not the main force of the Hu army at all. The reinforcements led by Xiao Han arrived first, while Lin Tianwen's first army was still behind.

When he heard that Xiao Mo, the commander of the Third Route Army, was stubborn and refused to send troops to aid Tongyang, and Li He came with troops in violation of the order, Xiao Han smiled and said: "General Li made great achievements in the first battle of Huapingye this time, not only helped the Second Route Army get out of the danger of annihilation, but also defeated the main force of the Hu army in one fell swoop and killed Hu Chief Xiangzan, what is the crime?" Ben will be your majesty and ask for credit for General Li! "Even if Li He is not so brave and does not make any military exploits, just because he is the son of Li Sihong and the grandson of Li Taishi, Xiao Han will sell his favor to the Li family and repay his merits. What's more, now that Li He has indeed made a great contribution, he is just pushing the boat down the river.

Li He hurriedly said when he heard this: "General Xiao, that Xiangzan, is not dead yet. ”

All the generals were stunned, and Weng Yuanqi said: "I obviously saw you dragging Hu Jun's handsome flag and shouting that Xiangzan is dead." ”

Li He said: "At that time, the general chased Xiangzan all the way to the ground, and saw that the handsome flag he dropped was on the ground, so he spread this rumor to hit the morale of the Hu army. ”

Xiao Han smiled: "General Li is not only brave, but also very wise!" ”

"But even if that Xiangzan didn't die, he fell off the horse at high speed, and it is estimated that he will have half his life. The last general asked for his life, willing to take a thousand light horsemen to chase and kill Xiangzan, and swore not to give up without taking his head! Li He hugged his fists.

"Li Bu is willing to go together!" Li Bu also said.

Xiao Han frowned slightly, and after being silent for a while, he said: "This matter should be considered in the long run, the main force of the Hu army has been defeated, and the rest are all shrimp soldiers and crab generals, which is not enough." Xiangzan will flee back to the grassland, if we want to pursue, we also need to have grain and grass logistics support, and after several armies arrive, we will go to the court and make a decision. ”

Li He hurriedly said: "The Hu people killed the people of my Xia Kingdom, robbed me of the gold and silver of the Xia Kingdom, and kidnapped the women of my Xia Kingdom, how can we just give up?" It just so happened that the main force of the Hu army was defeated this time, and we went north with Wei and killed the grassland! Completely subdued the Hu people! ”

Li Bu also said: "Yes, it's always the Hu people who come to beat us, we should also go and kill them!" Otherwise, they still think that our Xia Kingdom is easy to bully! Moreover, the women, gold and silver they robbed have been sent back to the grassland, so we have to take them back! How can I let the women of Xia Kingdom give them silver to play?! ”

Xiao Han said: "The general has already said, this matter should be considered in the long run, how can you easily set foot in the vast grassland?" Without adequate logistical supplies, that prairie alone can leave us dead without a place to bury. After a pause, he said: "It's not that the general said that he wouldn't go north to the grassland, but it takes time to prepare, and we have to finish our own affairs first, right?" The Hu soldiers in the three provinces have not yet been completely wiped out. Besides, if you want to go north, you have to prepare grain and grass, which needs to be decided by the imperial court. ”

"If we drag on like this, when will we be able to go north? By the time the grain and grass are fully prepared, the Hu people may have already recovered their strength and are ready! Li He hurriedly said, he is now holding a breath in his heart, the source of this qi is Xiang Zhan, he failed to kill Xiang Zhan with his own hands, which made him always feel as if the matter was not finished, and he felt very uncomfortable. Therefore, although he also wanted to go home early to find the women and leave this bloody and dirty place, he still asked for his order to go north to pursue.

Weng Yuan said: "General Li, you can't be righteous and angry in this matter, you have to think about the soldiers under your command, if you rush north without thorough preparation, you will trap the army in a dangerous situation!" ”

Li He was speechless.

So, after four days of repair, the First and Second Route Armies, together with Xiao Han's imperial reinforcements and Li He's tiger camp, more than 100,000 people finally left Huapingye and went to the nearby Liangcheng camp to continue to wait for the imperial court's order to see whether the class returned to the court or continued to go north.

These days can make Li He stuffy, this Liangcheng camp is outside the big city of Liangcheng in Tongyang Province, Xiao Han and Weng Yuan both stipulate that no one in the army is allowed to enter the city to disturb the people, although Li He is extremely bored, but at this time he does not dare to easily violate discipline, after all, now is the critical moment to share the credit, wait for the next treatment, and make him a merit offset, so he so many people are not killed in vain?

So Li He could only take Da Fei to hunt in the suburbs every day with Li Bu, Yang Jin, and You Bi to pass the time.

At this time, Li He returned to the camp with Li Bu and others after hunting, and Gu Kang, who was guarding the gate of the camp, greeted him and said, "General, General Zhang is here." ”

Li He was stunned: "General Zhang? Which General Zhang? ”

"General Zhang Qi Zhang of the Third Route Army!" Koo Kang Road.

Li He perked up, turned over and dismounted, and said, "General Zhang is here?" Where is he? ”

"I've been waiting in the general's tent for a long time!"

After saying goodbye to Li Bu, Li He immediately returned to his tent, only to see Zhang Qi and several generals of the Third Route Army sitting in Qinglin Province, but he didn't see Xiao Mowei.

"General Li, don't come unharmed!" As soon as Zhang Qi saw Li He, he got up with a smile and said.

Li He smiled and said, "General Zhang, why are you here?" ”

A general next to him said with a smile: "Now General Zhang is already the chief general of the Third Route Army." ”

"Oh?" Li He's heart turned, and eighty percent guessed what happened to the Third Route Army.

"What about Xiao Mowei?" Li He asked.

Zhang Qi said with a smile: "Old man Xiao reported to the emperor that you disobeyed the military order, General Xiao Han Xiao and General Weng Yuanweng went to the capital a few days ago, and the emperor was furious when he learned what happened, and ordered to seize the military power of Old Man Xiao and escort him to the capital to ask for guilt. Thanks to the recommendation of Master Li, I became the chief general of the three route armies. ”

Xiao Mowei, Xiao Mowei, I said that you were going to spend the rest of your life in a cage, but you still don't believe it. Li He said secretly in his heart, and congratulated Zhang Qi vigorously in his mouth.

"Hehe, the general's prestige has been spread all over the army in the past few days. In the hundreds of thousands of Hu troops, he single-handedly entered and ten exited, killing the commander of the Hu army who did not dare to take the lead, and even cut the handsome flag of the Hu army and dragged it back to the camp, such courage is really amazing! Zhang Qi praised: "General Li can establish this great authority before he is seventeen, and his achievements will not be small in the future!" When he is said to be enthroned in Beijing, don't forget a few brothers! ”

Li He only smiled faintly when he heard this, and said a few words modestly.

Zhang Qi said, suddenly picked up a big bag from the side and handed it to Li He and said, "This is what General Li left in Mamenbao, I brought it for you." ”

Li He took it and opened it to see that it was the spare armor, battle robe and a few changes of clothes that Yue'er had made for him, and he was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Zhang Qi.

Or the clothes made by my baby Yue'er are comfortable to wear, Li He stroked the armor and battle robe, and thought beautifully in his heart.

A few days later, the holy decree was sent to the camp in Liangcheng. The emperor has an order, the Hu people invade our Xia country, burn, kill and plunder, do all kinds of evil, in order to boost the prestige of the Celestial Dynasty of our Great Xia Kingdom, order the three armies to go north to the grassland, and capture the Hu Khan King alive back to Beijing to ask for the crime. Li He was also awarded the title of "General Pingyu."

Liangcheng camp, in the main account of the Chinese army.

Li He frowned and said to Xiao Han, Lin Tianwen, and Weng Yuan: "You have to wait for two months?" Why wait that long? At this time, the morale of our army is at its peak, so why don't you go north in one go? "For so many days, there was no battle to fight, no women to kiss, nothing to do in the barracks, but he was suffocated to death, and it would be two months before he heard this kind of talk, how could he not be in a hurry?
