It's noon.

The sun is rising.

The warmth that followed was also constantly rising in a straight line.

However.

The huge chirping fox seemed to be shrouded in an invisible cloud that obscured the sky.

The entire military village on the halfway slope of Minghu Mountain is full of desolation and depression.

There is no joy and excitement after a big victory.

Dressed in bright light armor and protective body, the Wei Guogong Gu Zhan camp was surrounded by dozens of personal guards.

Constantly shuttling through the top of the military tent.

As far as the eye can see.

and all the soldiers who are still walking outside the tents.

All of them have a strong sense of homesickness.

Listen to your ears.

A top soldier in the tent.

In addition to the deafening snoring.

It's the thick words of homesickness.

Not much.

Gu Zhan's camp was surrounded by dozens of guards.

Finally go to the front of the Chinese army's big tent.

"Waiting outside."

Gu Zhanying waved his hand slightly, and retreated from the left and right guards.

Then he strode towards the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Duke Wei, please take a seat."

As soon as he stepped into the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Guangli, the general who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly greeted him.

Gu Zhanying couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw this, although Li Guangli was close to him in the past.

But I've never been so enthusiastic.

"General Xie."

Gu Zhanying, who was suspicious, calmed down slightly, and then quickly clasped his fists and saluted without losing etiquette.

"Sit."

Li Guangli waved his hand and invited again.

The words fell.

Li Guangli waved his hand lightly and dismissed the crowd of idle people in the big tent of the Chinese army, and then walked to the top position and sat down safely.

After Gu Zhan's camp sat down in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Li Guangli suddenly turned pale and asked, "Have you reported the battle damage of the various units last night?"

Wei Guogong Gu Zhanying's face instantly turned positive when he heard this. Then he replied, "General Hui."

"All battle losses have been reported."

"In this battle, Yu Yafu's troops killed fifty-seven people, wounded one hundred and thirty-two, killed one hundred and seventy-six enemies, and the enemy wounded is unknown."

"In this battle, Lin Heyun's troops killed ninety-one people, wounded two hundred and seven, killed three hundred and seventy-two enemies, and the enemy wounded is unknown."

"In this battle, one hundred and fourteen people were killed, three hundred and sixteen were wounded, four hundred and twenty-seven enemies were killed, and the enemy wounded is unknown."

"In this battle, Zhuang Sanxi's troops killed one hundred and thirty-six people, wounded three hundred and two, killed four hundred and sixty-five enemies, and the enemy wounded is unknown."

"In this battle, Li Ling's troops killed 253 people, wounded 613 people, killed 796 enemies, and injured an unknown enemy."

"In this battle, twenty-one soldiers and horses of the headquarters were killed, seventy-two were wounded, fifty-four enemies were killed, and the enemy wounded is unknown."

"In last night's battle, we lost 672 killed and 1,642 wounded."

"The Xiongnu lost 2,290 dead, and the wounded are unknown."

"According to previous estimates, it should be about 5,000 people."

The words fell.

A touch of joy instantly appeared on Li Guangli's face.

At the cost of 672 killed and 1,642 wounded.

In exchange for slaying two thousand two hundred and ninety enemies. The result of wounding about 5,000 enemies.

At any given time, such a victory is a one-day victory.

True.

The reason why the Great Zhou side was able to achieve such great results should be attributed to the "geographical advantage".

But the reason why there are such geographical advantages is that Li Guangli overrode the public opinion and brought the army to Minghu Mountain.

As for the drawbacks of this move.

For example, it is extremely easy to be completely surrounded by the Huns and trapped in the mountains.

For example, it is extremely easy to sit and eat mountains

Empty.

For example, it is extremely easy to be surrounded by the Huns for reinforcements.

Li Guangli didn't care in his heart, or it can be understood that Li Guangli meant that.

After counting the interest.

Li Guangli restrained the joy on his face.

After calming down for a while, he commanded in a deep voice: "Yu Yafu, Lin Heyun, Ram Lu, Zhuang Sanxi's casualties and the number of enemies killed are truthfully reported to the imperial court."

"Li Ling's troops killed two hundred and fifty-three, wounded six hundred and thirteen, and killed seven hundred and ninety-six enemies."

"Replace the seven hundred and ninety-six with four hundred and ninety-six."

"Twenty-one soldiers and horses of the headquarters were killed, seventy-two wounded, and fifty-four of the enemy were killed."

"Replace twenty-one wounded with three hundred and twenty-one, and replace seventy-two wounded with four hundred and seventy-two."

"Replace 54 with 1,154."

"In addition, the number of Huns killed was changed from 2,290 to 3,090."

"The number of wounded enemies is about 8,000."

The words fell.

Wei Guogong Gu Zhanying smiled understandingly.

Then he clasped his fists again and saluted, "The last general will obey!"

Apparently.

Today's move, Li Guangli and Gu Zhanying are by no means the first time.

"Ahem." Li Guangli coughed lightly, and after a little composure, he asked again, "What is the total number of soldiers and horses in each department?"

Hearing this, Gu Zhanying quickly restrained the smile on his face.

Then he replied in a deep voice, "General Hui."

"The current strength of Yu Yafu's army is about 3,000."

"Lin Heyun's current strength is about 2,000."

"The existing strength of the Ram Road Department is about 3,500 men."

"Zhuang Sanxi's existing army also has 3,500 troops."

"The existing strength of Li Ling's army is about 2,500 people."

"There are about 4,500 troops in the headquarters."

"The total number of troops is about nineteen thousand."

As soon as this statement came out.

The huge tent of the Chinese army instantly fell into a dead silence.

Unconsciously.

The Great Zhou has already spilled the blood of nearly 40,000 people on the land of Mobei.

And this is not counting the people carried by the ministries.

If you count them all, there should be 150,000 of them.

That's what I think about.

Li Guangli's face couldn't help but flash a look of embarrassment.

I don't know how long it took.

Maybe a quarter of an hour or two.

Maybe it's more than 100 breaths.

Li Guangli first broke the dead silence and said in a deep voice, "Li Lingbu has died enough."

"Next, it's Ram Road and Zhuang Sanxi's turn."

When Gu Zhanying heard this, a look of understanding flashed on his face.

Then he clasped his fists again and saluted, "Obey."

Li Guangli nodded slightly when he heard this, and then picked up the tea next to him and made a gesture of serving tea to the guests.

Seeing this, Gu Zhanying took his leave in understanding.

However.

Just when Gu Zhanying was about to withdraw from the Chinese army's tent.

It seemed to suddenly remember something, and suddenly stopped.

"General."

"Perceive a situation in the last tense."

Gu Zhanying paused, and his face gradually became serious.

"What's the situation?"

Hearing this, Li Guangli silently put down the tea cup in his hand, and his face couldn't help but become serious.

In his opinion, it is certainly not a good thing to be called a situation by Gu Zhanying.

"But Li Lingbu is dissatisfied?"

Li Guangli frowned slightly and asked again.

For some reason, thinking of bad things, the first thing that came to Li Guangli's mind was Li Ling.

"Go back to the general."

"It's not that Li Lingbu is dissatisfied."

Gu Zhanying was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then explained.

"What's that?"

"Don't sell it."

"Quickly."

Li Guangli suddenly felt disappointed in his heart when he heard this, and after calming down for a while, he hurriedly opened his mouth to urge.

"Yes, General."

"The last general will travel along the way, and see the soldiers with homesickness on their faces."

"There are many words of homesickness in the military tents along the way."

"If this goes on for a long time, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be unfavorable."

Gu Zhanying agreed, and then told everything he saw and heard along the way.

"Homesick ......"

Li Guangli's brows instantly tightened when he heard this.

When marching and fighting far away from the country, the most feared thing is that the soldiers are homesick.

To a certain extent, such sentiments are extremely detrimental to the stability of the military's morale.

I don't know how long it took.

Maybe a quarter of an hour or two.

Maybe it's more than 100 breaths.

Li Guangli's tightly knit brow gradually relaxed.

"Pass the order."

"Shen Shi rewards the three armies!"

Li Guangli calmed down for a moment, and then commanded in a deep voice.

Of course, this move will greatly deplete the grain and grass reserves of Minghu Mountain.

But compared with the stability of the army's morale, the grain and grass consumed are naturally nothing.

......

......

Meanwhile.

In the Xiongnu camp ten miles away from Minghu Mountain.

A few iron spears and a few fat whole sheep were quietly set up by the campfire in the center of the Chinese army's tent.

Jotun, the king of the left valley, Mu Liangha, the king of the right valley, and a group of Xiongnu generals sat cross-legged around several campfires.

Holding a dagger in one hand and a wine bowl in the other.

I'm having a lot of fun.

There is no sense of decadence and frustration that should be felt after returning from a big defeat.

I don't know how long it took.

Several bonfires gradually went out.

Several plump whole sheep gradually left with only skeletons.

Meanwhile.

The lively Chinese army tent gradually became quiet as the generals left drunk.

A moment later.

In the huge tent of the Chinese army, there were only two people left and right, who were not drunk, and the king of Gu Li.

"Last night's battle killed more than 8,000 people."

"What's next? Do you want to continue to fight or let Li Guangli's gang out?"

Mu Liangha, the king of the right valley, casually threw away the dagger stained with oil in his hand, and looked at the king of the left valley with burning eyes.

"Let Li Guangli come out?"

"That guy finally tasted the sweetness."

"How can you easily come out of Minghu Mountain?"

Jotun chuckled and shook his head, then spoke.

I don't know why.

There was not the slightest hint of concern on his face.

"What then?"

"You can't keep attacking, can you?"

"Last night's battle alone, more than half of the thirty or forty tribes were killed or wounded!"

Mu Liangha frowned when he heard this, and looked at Jordan with a disgruntled face.

True.

Since Lee Kwang Li's army hid in Minghu Mountain.

Every strong attack on the Xiongnu side was dominated by those small and medium-sized tribes.

The main forces that really participated in the storming of the Xiongnu were actually very few.

Such as last night's casualties of more than 8,000 people.

The number of the real main forces of the Huns was less than two thousand.

The rest are small and medium-sized tribal herdsmen or soldiers.

But those small and medium-sized tribes are also Huns after all.

Mu Liangha originally thought that as soon as this remark came out, Jordan would be more or less compassionate.

Why.

Jordan still had a faint smile on his face when he heard this.

"If you die, you will re-recruit."

"As long as Li Guangli can be trapped and killed in Minghu Mountain, no matter how many people die, it will be worth it."

Jotun chuckled disapprovingly and shook his head, his voice filled with contempt for life.

"If there are too many deaths, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain over there."

Mu Liangha frowned tightly and slowly expressed his worries.

How could a person in a high position like him really care about the life and death of some small and medium-sized tribes.

"And relax."

"I'll have my own explanation over there."

Jotun chuckled and shook his head, then replied lightly.

"How?"

Mu Liangha asked.

"Kill all the Li Guangli tribes."

"And all the Great Zhou troops who came to the aid of Li Guangli's troops."

Jotun gradually restrained the smile on the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice, word by word.

"Kill all the Li Guangli Ministry?"

"Then there are at least nearly 20,000 soldiers in Li Guangli's department!"

"And this time, Li Guangli's troops intercepted and killed many tribes before entering Minghu Mountain."

"With the grain and grass of Li Guangli's department, plus the looted cattle and sheep, it can last for at least half a year."

"What's more, Minghu Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, how to kill?"

"Do you want to fill it with your life?"

"I really shouldn't have listened to you in the first place, letting Li Guangli enter Minghu Mountain!"

The more Mu Liangha thought about it when he heard this, the more angry he became, if he hadn't listened to Jotun's words.

How could Li Guangli's troops enter the Minghu Mountain, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so easily?

"And!"

"What about the Great Zhou reinforcements you said!"

"It's been a month! I didn't even see a figure, so I was talking about some kind of reinforcement!"

Mu Liangha glared at Jordan angrily, quite a bit of a fight without saying a word.

Since its dispatch of troops, 3,000 of its 20,000 soldiers and horses have been lost.

If you count the 10,000 dreadnought riders commanded by Tiefu Bear.

In just a few months, it had lost as many as 5,000 troops.

On the other hand, Jordan's 8,000 wolf guards under his command only lost 2,000.

How could there be no resentment in Mu Liangha's heart.

"What's the hurry?"

"In a month or two at most, Li Guangli will inevitably ask for help."

"Once Li Guangli asks for help, can you and I surround and send reinforcements?"

"Besides."

"This king has secretly dispatched 10,000 wolf guards to come from the rear."

"At that time, you and I will join forces together, with a total of more than 40,000 soldiers and horses."

"If the Great Zhou dares to send troops to aid Li Guangli, it will become a meal for you and me."

"Just imagine, if Li Guangli's troops are eaten together with the Great Zhou reinforcements."

"What will happen to you and me?"

Jordan is confident.

As soon as this statement came out.

Mu Liangha was momentarily stunned on the spot.

Jotun's words kept echoing in his mind.

"Just imagine, if Li Guangli's troops are eaten together with the Great Zhou reinforcements."

"What will happen to you and me?"

"Just imagine, if Li Guangli's troops are eaten together with the Great Zhou reinforcements."

"What will happen to you and me?"

「......」

Just after the big battle in mid-November.

Mu Liangha reaped the unimaginable richness of the past.

If Li Guangli's troops are eaten together with the Great Zhou reinforcements.

Its strength will be at least two or three times more than doubled.

Nothing else will be mentioned for the time being.

The armor and the bow and the crossbow alone were enough for him to eat.

Not to mention the countless grains and slaves

。

Just when Mu Liangha wanted to get into it.

Jordan once again spoke earnestly and seducingly, "Today's Great Zhou is no longer the Great Zhou of sixteen years ago."

"Then Li Guangli will never be able to compare with Zhao Qing."

"What is there to be afraid of such a big week?"

"After eating Li Guangli's troops and a group of reinforcements."

"You and I will take a two-year break and digest it."

"Two years later, we will send troops together and cross the Great Wall! Enter the Central Plains! Isn't it beautiful?"

"What's more, even if we really lose to the Great Zhou reinforcements, won't you and I call for help?"
