Chapter 298: Regaining Dignity
Hearing Dahan's words, Shui Sheng suddenly frowned, not understanding why he was asking this?
Dahan seemed to see Shui Sheng's concerns, and hurriedly explained: "Brother, don't get me wrong, my name is Zhao Dayong, I was originally a captain under the account of General Yu Yi, and then unfortunately I was captured, I just want to know which general avenged us and the brother who died in battle?" ”
Yu Yi?
Shui Sheng was stunned, isn't that Yu Hao's father? I didn't expect to meet Yu Yi's old subordinates here.
Since it was his own people, Shui Sheng did not hide it, and immediately approached the 200,000 Xiongnu army to Jianmen Pass, and Yu Hao led his troops to raid the Xiongnu's lair.
After Zhao Dayong heard what happened, he immediately burst into tears, and a big man of more than one meter and eight meters immediately knelt on the ground and wept silently.
"I didn't expect it to be the young general, the major general avenged the brothers, and the old general's spirit in the sky can rest in peace!"
For a while, many soldiers who were captured with Zhao Dayong were all in tears.
None of them thought that Yu Hao, who had always only eaten, drunk and had fun, would destroy the Xiongnu's lair with only 2,000 people.
Some people didn't understand why Yu Hao left them before, but after listening to Yu Hao's plan, they all understood.
"General Zhao, it's not that the lord wants to leave you, it's really that we don't have enough manpower, please forgive me." Shui Sheng said helplessly.
In fact, after Shui Sheng learned that many of them were Yu Yi's old subordinates, he didn't think about letting them escort the prisoners of war back to Daqian with the dart master.
But they were able to stay in the slave camps, instead of going to the front with other slaves to help the Huns carry supplies, because they were also old, weak, sick and disabled.
Many of them were either injured or sick, and simply could not withstand the long journey.
The team of dart masters had to go around from the Western Regions back to Daqian, and the road was very long, and they were afraid that they would die on the way before they could reach Yujiaguan.
And the dart master still has to escort so many prisoners of war, there is really no manpower to take care of them.
Moreover, if there are too many people, the target will be large, not to mention whether it will be caught up by the Huns, it will be very difficult to pass through the territory of the Western Regions smoothly.
After all, except for the dart master, no one else has a Western Regions costume that can fool around.
You can't tie them to horses like prisoners of war, can you?
Zhao Dayong obviously understood what Shui Sheng meant, waved his hand and said, "Brother Shui Sheng, don't worry, we are dying people, how can we make trouble for the young general?" ”
"Our defeat and capture by the Huns is a lifelong shame, and if it weren't for the great revenge, the brothers would have committed suicide long ago."
"Now that the major general has avenged us, let's use our remnants to do something for the major general in the end!"
Zhao Dayong said, striding towards the weapon box and taking out a spear from it.
Seeing this, the other captured soldiers also picked up the weapons in the weapon box and stood behind Zhao Dayong.
With these soldiers taking the lead, the common people followed suit, and for a time, all the twenty or thirty thousand slaves in the slave camp took up arms.
Zhao Dayong touched the head of the spear, confirmed the sharpness and said: "Jianmen Pass is only a few hundred miles away from the Chimu River, and the cavalry can reach it in one day, even if you leave now, it is still possible that you will be caught up by the Huns." ”
"We people don't have long to live, so it's better to let us stay and delay the time of the Hun army."
As soon as these words came out, Shui Sheng's eyes suddenly widened, they were going to stop the Hun army!
"No, you have been tortured for so long, your body has long been exhausted, you are looking for death when you go to the Huns like this!" Shui Sheng hurriedly said.
Hearing this, Zhao Dayong suddenly laughed: "It is the first fortunate thing in his life that the eldest husband can die on horseback!" We don't have long to live, so we might as well kill a few more Huns before we die! ”
"That's right, my whole family was killed by the Huns, and I want to seek revenge on them with my own hands!"
"That's right, fight the Huns again before you die!"
Zhao Dayong's words were immediately echoed by the surrounding slaves.
Shui Sheng wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhao Dayong: "Brother, you don't have to persuade anymore, we have done so much work for the Huns, we are already sinners of the country, and we have no face to go back, so let us stay and atone for our sins!" ”
Saying that, Zhao Dayong laughed again: "Besides, didn't you say it? Can provide us with enough war horses, good fellow, I, Zhao Dayong, have never fought such a rich battle! Aren't the Huns just powerful cavalry? With a war horse, we are still afraid of his eggs! ”
"I'd better report this matter to Lord Yu and ask him to decide!" Aquatic hesitated.
Zhao Dayong's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "You can't tell the young general about this!" Let's keep that last shred of dignity! ”
Zhao Dayong knew very well that if Yu Hao knew that they were Yu Yi's old subordinates, then Yu Hao would bring them back together if he said anything.
At that time, they will not only not be able to help Yu Hao, but will also drag Yu Hao down, so what kind of face will he have to see Yu Yi and the dead brothers after he dies?
Seeing that Zhao Dayong was so stubborn, Shui Sheng no longer persuaded him, wiped his tears, and shouted: "Come on, bring food, let the brothers eat and drink......"
Half an hour later, more than 20,000 people galloped out of the slave camp on war horses under the leadership of Zhao Dayong, and the deafening sound of horses' hooves resounded in the sky, and the earth trembled instantly.
The direction in which these 20,000 people are advancing is Jianmen Pass!
Yu Hao stood on the hillside and watched the scene, his eyes were slightly red, and he slowly knelt on the ground, kowtowing heavily in the direction they left.
Behind him, there were two thousand dart masters who were ready to go, and they also put their right hands on their chests and gave a standard military salute to Zhao Dayong's 20,000 men.
After Shui Sheng came back, he told Yu Hao the whole thing.
At first, Yu Hao also wanted to bring them back after learning that Zhao Dayong was his father's old subordinate, but when Shui Sheng told Yu Hao that Zhao Dayong was going to stop the Huns, Yu Hao gave up.
As Yu Yi's only son, Yu Hao naturally knows that Yu Yi is strict in governing the army, and the soldiers under Yu Yi's command regard honor as more important than life!
Yu Yi's 100,000 troops were almost all killed in battle, but Zhao Dayong and the others were captured to this Xiongnu lair to work for the Huns.
This is a great shame for them, and even makes them have no face to return to Daqian.
The reason why they are bent on stopping the Huns is to regain their lost dignity!
Although Yu Hao wants them to live, what right does Yu Hao have to stop them from finding dignity?
Seeing Zhao Dayong and them go away, Yu Hao will not stay for a long time, at this time, the Huns who fled from the nest are afraid that they have already rushed to Jianmen Pass to report to Chimu Ahan, if they don't leave, it will be too late.
Thinking of this, Yu Hao immediately ordered a retreat, and the group rushed towards the Western Regions.
On horseback, Yu Hao wiped away his tears, looked in the direction of Jianmen Pass, and muttered: "Zhu An, Xiao Ming, Zhao Dayong, how many people they can survive depends on yours!" ”
