Night.

When darkness once again covered the earth.

A group of troops with torches burning like flaming red dragons.

With countless war horses, spears, bows and arrows, armor and other booty, as well as a large number of Xiongnu prisoners.

From the east of Minghu Mountain, slowly walked towards the military village halfway up the slope of Minghu Mountain.

With the fire dragons and dragons, they slowly arrived at the Minghu Mountain Military Village.

The Minghu Mountain Military Village, which was originally a little deserted, instantly became lively.

The sound of cheers, singing, talking, and gags filled every corner of the Minghu Mountain Military Village.

Half an hour later.

A huge bonfire dinner gradually pushed the lively atmosphere in the military village to its peak.

For a while, it really gave people the illusion of the New Year.

More than an hour later.

The huge bonfires gradually faded as time passed.

The revelry soldiers also returned to their camps as the bonfires were fading down.

Leave behind some of the guards on patrol.

Minghu Mountain Military Village in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Yu Yafu staggered from his seat with the support of the generals around him.

"The Last ...... The last general is grateful...... Thank you for your hospitality."

Yu Yafu was drunk, his eyes were hazy, and he saluted with his fists at Li Guangli, who was sitting upright.

Li Guangli got up slowly, and bowed his hand a little drunkenly, "Has General Yu had any fun this time?"

Yu Yafu nodded again and again with a blushing face, "Have fun, have fun."

"Just have fun." Li Guangli laughed and said, "General Yu is drunk, go back to the camp early tonight to rest, General Ben has already arranged the night patrol, General Yu can sleep peacefully tonight."

Yu Yafu grinned when he heard this, flattered a few words inarticulately, and then staggered out of the Chinese army's tent with the support of his generals.

Wait for Yu Yafu's figure to completely disappear behind the Chinese army's tent.

Li Guangli waved his hand slightly to the generals below and said, "You have a lot of hard work today, so let's retreat and rest for the time being."

"Obey." A group of drunken generals responded one after another.

Wait for the figures of the generals to completely disappear behind the big tent of the Chinese army.

Li Guangli slowly sat down, and then looked at the only remaining Wei Guogong Gu Zhanying.

"This Yu Yafu is very interesting."

Li Guangli said slowly with a smile on his face.

After this war, more than seventy percent of the spoils were pocketed by Li Guangli.

As the key figure in this battle, Yu Yafu and his 5,000 soldiers only obtained more than 20% of the booty.

This is the so-called compromise.

Hearing this, Gu Zhanying replied with a smile on his face, "The last general is here to congratulate the general first."

"Oh?" Li Guangli pretended not to know and said, "How happy is this general?"

Gu Zhanying smiled and saluted, "In this battle, under the command of the general like a divine help, the army successfully counterattacked the king of Zuo Gu Li."

"And defeated the king of Zuoguli, beheaded more than 2,000 people, and captured nearly 3,000 Hun wolf guards."

"And hunt down the king of Zuogu Li for thirty miles, so that the arrogant king of Zuogu Li will flee like a lost dog."

"In this battle, the general will greatly promote the prestige of my Great Zhou army."

"With such a big victory, presumably the general will soon be able to restore the rank."

"The last general is here to congratulate the general."

Li Guangli was in a happy mood when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly.

"Ahem." Li Guangli coughed lightly, and after suppressing the joy in his heart, Fang slowly spoke, "This battle is not the work of this general alone. All the generals have made meritorious contributions, and this general will definitely report to the court truthfully."

The words fell.

Li Guangli paused slightly, and his face changed the topic with a slightly serious face: "I'm afraid that tomorrow will have to work a lot for Wei Guogong."

"That's from the Hun camp

The lost baggage and other items in the village should be counted as soon as possible."

"In this way, General Ben should report to the imperial court as soon as possible."

Before his defeat and escape, Jotun ordered the burning of all the grain, grass, baggage and other materials in the camp.

But with the chaos of the time, how could everything go as he wanted?

Although some of the grain, grass, baggage and other things were destroyed in the raging fire.

But more of them were lost and regained by Li Guangli.

When Gu Zhanying heard this, his heart instantly understood.

Then his face straightened, and he bowed again, "Obey!"

Li Guangli nodded slightly, and then ordered again: "After all the counts are out, report to me as soon as possible, and then General Ben can fulfill his pre-war promise as soon as possible."

The so-called pre-war promise is the so-called reward.

Li Guangli did not dare to be ambiguous in this matter.

None of them.

If this matter is ambiguous, his corporal will definitely be dissatisfied.

If it were more serious, the bombing would not have been impossible.

Gu Zhanying nodded heavily in his understanding, and then responded, "Obey!"

......

......

Meanwhile.

The other side of the Minghu Mountain military village.

Yu Yafu, who was drunk, was helped into the camp tent by his generals.

After the generals under his command slowly withdrew from the camp tent.

Yu Yafu, who was lying on the bed with a drunken face and sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes.

A sharp color flashed from Yu Yafu's eyes.

As for the so-called drunkenness, it completely disappeared the moment he opened his eyes.

"Yu Ming."

Yu Yafu lay motionless on the bed and called softly.

The voice fell.

A middle-aged man in full armor gently lifted the curtain of the door outside the camp and slowly walked towards the bed.

"General."

The general Yu Ming stopped two steps away from the bed, and saluted with his fists respectfully.

"Send the guards to deploy within a radius of 300 paces in the camp."

"Don't let anyone set foot within 300 paces of the tent."

Yu Yafu lay flat on the bed and slowly ordered.

"Obey!"

Yu Ming's face turned straight when he heard this, and then he clasped his fists again and saluted.

"Go ahead, keep this thing secret."

Yu Yafu said motionlessly and slowly.

"Obey."

Yu Ming agreed, and then slowly withdrew from the tent.

A moment later.

Yu Ming turned back again outside his self-operated account.

"General, it's all arranged."

"The guards are already stationed within a radius of 300 paces from the camp."

Yu Ming stopped two steps away from the bed and reported with a fist in a salute.

"Okay, stay at the door."

Yu Yafu slowly sat up from the bed, and commanded as he got up.

"Obey!"

Yu Ming agreed, and then slowly withdrew from the tent again.

Wait for Yu Ming's figure to completely disappear behind the tent.

Yu Yafu casually picked up a large coat and draped it behind him.

Then he walked slowly to the outside of the tent.

Finally, he sat down at a small wooden table.

After slowly grinding the ink and laying the paper.

Yu Yafu picked up a wolf pen and slowly wrote on the properly cut rice paper, "Play the Ming Wangye."

"The last general was ordered by the king to rush nearly thousands of miles to help Li Guangli's troops."

"The first battle lost more than 1,500 soldiers, so that the Xiongnu Zuogu Liwang was defeated and fled in Minghu Mountain."

"After that, the last general ordered all the troops to hunt down and kill thirty miles......

"In this battle, Li Guangli's troops are in chaos, and they will not know the order, and they will not be able to restrain their subordinates."

"And the soldiers under his command are also chaotic, although they are known as elites and brave soldiers, but they are only the courage of the horseman."

"Before the battle was completely over, Li Guangli first led the official forces to suppress the last general, and then carried out the act of stealing merit."

"The last general will obey the king's command, and bear with him everywhere."

"Although some of the benefits have been lost, the temperament of the generals of the country can also be seen under the leopard."

"After this battle, Li Guangli held a banquet to entertain the last generals, and during the banquet, the generals pushed cups and changed lamps."

「.......」

「.......」

"The last general sees that all the generals of Li Guangli's department are flattering and left and right."

"....... of them"

「.......」

「.......」

"What is said in this letter is what the last general has seen and felt with his own eyes."

"I hope the prince will consider it carefully."

"The last general, Yu Yafu."

With the last word completed.

Yu Yafu slowly put down the wolf pen in his hand.

After the ink is completely dry, the rice paper with dense handwriting is sealed into the envelope, supplemented by sealing mud and other materials.

In this letter, Yu Yafu faithfully recorded the details of today's battle, as well as the various reactions he observed about the soldiers of Li Guangli's troops on the battlefield.

Finally, he attached his observations of Li Guangli's subordinates to Li Guangli and Gu Zhanying, down to the temperament and personality of the generals.

This letter is a stretch of thousands of words.

If it is useless for Xu Qi to act as the king, why does Yu Yafu need to go through such a big effort?

Although its effect is not obvious at this time, when the time comes, it will definitely turn into a sharp blade and kill all sides on some special battlefield.

"Yu Ming."

Yu Yafu slowly got up and whispered towards the main gate of the camp.

The words fell.

The curtain of the tent was gently lifted from the outside.

Yu Ming walked quickly into the camp tent and saluted with his fists: "General."

Yu Yafu nodded slightly, and then slowly walked towards Yu Ming.

"Secret order Yu Zheng, with twenty guards around the ugly hour, from the secret road down the mountain."

"Be sure to present this letter to the prince in the shortest possible time."

Yu Yafu handed the letter in his hand to Yu Ming with a solemn look on his face, and then said in a deep voice.

"Obey!"

Yu Ming's face was straight, and after receiving the letter with both hands, he clasped his fists and saluted with a solemn look.

After Yu Ming quickly withdrew from the camp with the letter.

Yu Yafu slowly walked to the front of the tent, and quietly looked at the direction where Pingcheng was located with his hands behind his back.

His eyes are melancholy in the quiet night.

.......

.......

It's dark at night.

In a temporary camp more than 50 miles northeast of Minghu Mountain.

Jotun, the king of the left valley, sat at the head of the Chinese army's tent.

looked at the gray-faced generals below with expressionless faces.

A moment later.

After all the generals have reported the losses of the various departments.

Jotun waved his hand slightly expressionlessly and said, "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and a momentary defeat is nothing."

"You just need to remember the shame of today's defeat."

"In the coming day, you and I will be ten times better, a hundred times better to recover from Zhou Jun."

The words fell.

The Hun generals saluted respectfully and said, "Obey!"

Jotun waved his hand again with an expressionless face, and then slowly spoke: "You guys have a good rest tonight, and the king is free to arrange the patrol of the camp."

When the Hun generals heard this, they saluted respectfully again and said, "Obey the order."

After the salute.

A group of disgraced Hun generals in the big tent of the Chinese army slowly withdrew from the big tent of the Chinese army.

Lu Zhongyi, the general of the Great Zhou, sighed heavily in his heart, and then slowly walked towards the outside of the Chinese army's tent with the crowd.

However, just as it was about to step out of the Chinese army's tent.

Suddenly, there was a rather polite call from behind him.

"General Lu, please stay."

Jotun called slowly, his face still showing no emotion.

Lu Zhongyi was overjoyed when he heard this, but his face did not show it at all.

After a pause, he slowly turned around and saluted, "Obey."

After the Chinese army tent only left Jordan and Lu Zhongyi.

Jotun got up slowly, and bowed his hand to Lu Zhongyi with great solemnity.

"The king, I can't help it, I can't help it."

Seeing this, Lu Zhongyi's face changed suddenly, and then he hurriedly turned sideways to avoid Jotun's salute.

After Jordan saluted, he slowly got up, and with a look of chagrin on his face, he slowly spoke, "This king regrets not being at the beginning!"

"If this king had listened to his master's words, why would he have been so defeated?"

As soon as the words fell, Jotun sighed with remorse.

Unconsciously, his address to Lu Zhongyi has changed from "general" to "sir".

What the change of title means, Lu Zhongyi naturally understands in his heart.

Although Lu Zhongyi didn't show it on his face when he heard this, he was already ecstatic in his heart.

"The king is serious."

Lu Zhongyi settled down, and then saluted with the hun salute with respect.

Jotun nodded imperceptibly.

Then he slowly walked to Lu Zhongyi's side.

He bowed again with the gift of the Central Plains and said, "Please teach me, sir."

Seeing Jotun put on such a polite and virtuous corporal posture.

Lu Zhongyi's body paused slightly, and then his brows furrowed slightly and made a contemplative look.

A moment later.

Just when Jotun was a little impatient.

Lu Zhongyi's brows stretched quickly, and then he slowly blurted out the plan in his heart with a solemn face.

The so-called plan can be roughly divided into three steps.

Step 1.

That is to gather the remnants as soon as possible, and redeploy troops in the fief to reinforce their own troops.

In the battle of Minghu Mountain, nearly half of the wolf guards were lost in chaos.

If this part of the wolf guard can be re-integrated, the existing army can be strengthened as quickly as possible.

If the Zhou army raises the curtain again, it will have the power to protect itself.

The deployment of troops in the self-fiefdom can be attacked and defended by advancing and retreating, and the second is to pave the way for the second step of the plan.

Its so-called second-step plan.

In short, it is to create fear among the kings and generals of the Huns, as well as among the tribes.

And the so-called fear is the reinforcements of the Great Zhou.

In Lu Zhongyi's opinion, it was impossible for Emperor Zhengde to send only a 5,000-strong army as reinforcements.

Most likely, this reinforcement is just the vanguard.

After this army, there will be a large number of reinforcements on the way.

If all the reinforcements of the Great Zhou arrive.

Then will there be a real war between nations.

With the king of Zuogu Li, a hard resistance to the entire Great Zhou?

That's tantamount to using a mantis arm as a car.

You know, even if it's the emaciated camel, it's still bigger than a horse!

That being the case, why not take advantage of the fact that the reinforcements of the Great Zhou have not yet fully arrived to spread fear in the territory of the Xiongnu in advance.

and then forced the Xiongnu tribes to put aside their personal grievances for the time being, and went all out to meet the Great Zhou.

At that time, the more fierce the war, the more the king of Zuogu Li will gain a lot of fame and prestige.

None of them.

People will always remember the first person who stood up against injustice, but they can't remember the people who came after him.

Moreover, Jotun was the first to warn all the Huns.

Imagine

The preparations for war in advance have been fought so fiercely, if there is no preparation, what will be the fate of the people of the tribes?
