Chapter 173: Meng Yu arrives, the stunned triumvirate

With the news of the Xiongnu and Yue's southward movement, all the people in Yuzhong City were panicked.

Whether it was ordinary people or nobles, looking at the Qin army coming from other places, as if they were facing a great enemy, no one dared to leave Yuzhong City without permission.

The next two days.

The more time passed, the more uneasy everyone felt, and it seemed that the next moment, the Yueshi and the Xiongnu army would come to the city.

Outside the city of Yuzhong.

Escorted by several iron cavalry soldiers, a carriage slowly drove in the direction of the city wall.

When a Qin official at the head of the city saw this scene, he was full of doubts and glanced at each other.

Because they all saw clearly that the carriage was the carriage of the government.

A moment later.

Seeing that there was only one carriage and a few iron horsemen, the captain of the Qin military academy on the city tower quickly gave the order to open the city gate.

No matter where the carriage came from, since it was a carriage of the government, it was naturally impossible for them not to let it in, especially the armies of the Xiongnu and the Yue clan, which could arrive at any time.

"Who?"

After the city gate was opened, a Qin official walked out of the city gate with a long ge in his hand and looked at the carriage and several iron cavalry soldiers.

At this time.

Under the gaze of all the Qin officials, and under the gaze of all the people in the city, Meng Yu, who was wearing an official uniform, slowly walked out of the carriage.

Without superfluous words, Meng Yu took out the official seal and wooden plaque from the official uniform.

"Your Excellency!"

The lieutenant of the Qin military academy, who checked his identity, hurriedly bowed his hand after confirming Meng Yu's identity.

Meng Yu took back the official seal, stood on the carriage, and looked at the city full of defenders, this battle was like a great enemy.

Looking at the captain in front of him, looking at the streets inside the city gate, at a glance, hundreds of people were crowded.

"Let the soldiers tell the people that the Yue clan and the Xiongnu have retreated, and Gaonu City, General Bai Yan, has repelled the army of the Xiongnu and the Yue clan!"

Meng Yu stepped out of the carriage and spoke.

There are too many people in the city, it is difficult for the carriage to pass, and Meng Yu does not like to disturb the people, in Meng Yu's eyes, his legs are not yet when he can not walk.

"What?"

"What??"

At the gate of the city, not to mention the captain, the other Qin soldiers all looked at each other in disbelief when they heard Meng Yu's words.

The army of the Xiongnu and the Yue clan retreated?

General Bai Yan led more than 10,000 cavalry and repelled the army of 150,000 Yue Clan and the Xiongnu?

Whether it was the captain or the Qin pawn, they all wondered if they had heard it wrong, they really couldn't believe what they had just heard!

But now, since Lord Meng said so himself, as Qin pawns, they could only do what they were ordered.

Inside the city.

After entering the city gate, Meng Yu walked on the street under the escort of several iron cavalry soldiers and his entourage.

Looking at the hundreds of people sitting on both sides of the street, I couldn't see the end at a glance.

At this moment, it wasn't until he saw these people with his own eyes and walked in front of hundreds of people step by step that Meng Yufang personally realized how much Bai Yan's disregard for the future was.

The county watchman's house.

When the county guard Yang Xian, the county lieutenant Hu Jin, and the supervisor Li Pingyan knew that Meng Yu had entered the city, they all couldn't believe it.

In their eyes.

Zhongcheng Mengyu has already gone to Gaonu, and it stands to reason that he has been involved in the war, and may even be captured by the Xiongnu and Yueshi.

"My lord, Lord Cheng Meng in the imperial history has come to the door of the mansion!"

With the report coming down, Yang Xianlian walked towards the door.

Hu Jin and Li Pingyan also walked out of the door together under the gaze of other lieutenants and lieutenants.

Soon.

Yang Xian and Hu Jin were outside the mansion and saw Meng Yu, and Li Pingyan was no stranger to his superiors.

"Yang Xian, the county guard, has seen Lord Meng!"

"County Lieutenant Hu Jin, meet Lord Meng!"

"Humble Li Pingyan, I've seen Master Meng!"

The three people who are in charge of the most powerful in Shangjun saw Meng Yu at this moment, and they all politely bowed their hands.

Meng Yu returned the salute in turn.

"General Hu, order the soldiers to retreat, the army of the Yue clan and the Xiongnu has been repelled by General Bai and will not go south again."

After Meng Yuli finished the ceremony, he said to Hu Jin.

As soon as this remark came out.

Hu Jin, Li Pingyan, and Yang Xian all suddenly raised their heads and widened their eyes.

The captains and captains who came out to greet Meng Yu together also looked at each other, wondering if their ears had heard it wrong, Bai Yan led more than 10,000 iron horsemen to retreat from the Northern Yueshi and the Huns 150,000 horses?

How is this possible!!

It's impossible!

More than 10,000 horsemen, repelling 150,000 horses?

If the Huns had no horses, they would still have the slightest possibility of believing, because Wu Qi led 50,000 Wei soldiers to defeat their Qin army's 500,000 troops.

But at present, the Xiongnu and Yueshi are both nomadic tribes, and there are so many war horses that it is difficult to measure.

Bai Yan only has one Bai Iron Cavalry, how did he defeat 150,000 horses?

No one can figure it out.

But looking at the Imperial History Zhongcheng who came back from Gaonu, Lord Meng Yu, everyone understands that Lord Meng will never lie!

Outside the mansion.

In the eyes of all.

Meng Yu took a scroll of bamboo slips from among the iron cavalry soldiers behind him, which recorded in detail the casualties of the iron cavalry soldiers.

"This is General Bai, which Tuo Mengyu brought to Lieutenant Hu."

Meng Yu handed over the bamboo slips to Hu Jin.

Hu Jin took the bamboo slip, opened it, and saw that the number of casualties was recorded in detail, more than 4,700 were killed in battle, 3,600 were slightly injured, and 600 were seriously injured.

"Master Meng, what about Bai Yan?"

Hu Jin put away the bamboo slips and looked up at Meng Yu.

"On the day he left Gaonu, Meng Yu had said that the Xiongnu and the Yue clan had already retreated, hoping that General Bai would come to Yuzhong with Meng Yu, but General Bai gently refused to erect a monument for the dead generals."

Meng Yu said to Hu Jin, remembering what Bai Yan said when he sent him to the carriage when he left the mountain range that day.

After living in Xianyang for a long time, this trip, Meng Yu saw the corpse mountain, saw the burning city, saw the people in the city sleeping in the open, and saw the 150,000 people of the Xiongnu Yueshi going south and returning in vain.

More importantly, Meng Yu saw that there was a young man named Bai Yan in Shangjun.

Just like a sentence mentioned in the letter sent to Xianyang by the Qin officials.

Don't do nothing because of punishment, don't fight cowardly because of the enemy, don't forget to die because of great merit, the city has this son, the people are fortunate, there will be this son, the army is lucky, the country has this son, and Qin is very lucky.

In his life, Meng Yu has never praised a person so much, nor did he think that he would meet such a person.

Until I came to this Gaonu City, I saw Bai Yan with my own eyes.

Meng Yu once wrote countless bamboo slips, some of which were kept, and some of which were given to the king, and among all the bamboo slips, for the first time, Meng Yu personally wrote this sentence to the king, informing the king of his evaluation of a person.

Meng Yu even said later that such a general must be careful of being poached by other countries, and such a young man must not be allowed to serve in other countries.

"Give me the command, open the gates! Order the lieutenants and captains from all over the country to return to the pass and garrison! Always check out the news! ”

Hu Jin turned his head and ordered.

"No!"

"No!!"

Hearing Hu Jin's order, a famous lieutenant and a lieutenant gave up the order.

Everyone was a little confused at the moment.

Bai Yan really led more than 10,000 horsemen and repelled 150,000 horses? How? It's too violent!

Side.

Yang Xian was really stunned at this moment, he still couldn't believe that Bai Yan led the iron cavalry to repel the soldiers and horses of the Yue clan and the Huns.

But Yang Xian also knows that Meng Yu, who has been to Gaonu, will definitely not lie.

Hearing Hu Jin's words, Yang Xian came back to his senses, although he didn't know how Bai Yan did it, but now that the Xiongnu and the Yue clan had retreated, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Someone come, immediately notify the people in the city, and order the Qin officials to prepare to escort the Gaonu people back to Gaonu."

Yang Xian opened his mouth and ordered.

However, as soon as the words fell, I saw Meng Yu speak.

"Yang Junshou, Gao Nu has been burned down by fire, and the people need to be informed about this."

Meng Yu said.

Meng Yu's words made Yang Xian's eyes widen and blurted out.

"Burning the city?"

Yang Xian is full of incredulity, Bai Yan burned a city?

Hu Jin and Li Pingyan, as well as the other captains and captains who were about to leave, all lost their minds when they heard about the burning of the city.

Hearing Meng Yu's words, at this time, they were a little convinced why Bai Yan was able to defeat the Yue clan and the Xiongnu army.

Even dare to burn the city!

"Yang Junshou?"

Meng Yu looked at the elderly Yang Xian and couldn't help laughing.

"When General Bai came to Yuzhong, if anyone believed it, why did General Bai burn the city?"

Meng Yu asked rhetorically.

On the night when he slept in the canyon, Meng Yu had already learned from the iron cavalry soldiers that Bai Yan had come to the county guard mansion and stood for more than two hours until it was dark.

This incident was also written in the bamboo slip sent to Xianyang.

Gaonu City.

At the moment, under the mountains, on both sides of the canyon exit, thousands of small dirt bags.

Bai Yan looked at this scene.

Chai, Xi Yuan and other iron cavalry generals all followed behind Bai Yan.

In this battle, not only the soldiers and iron cavalry generals, but also half of the dead and wounded, and the only remaining people are all here.

"General, the armor has been arranged."

Yan Mao patted from a distance, came to Bai Yan's side, and said with his hand.

At this moment, Yan Mao was called a grievance in his heart, he was ordered to divide the soldiers into two ways, one as a suspicious soldier, and one way in ambush, but the result did not work, and the Yue clan and the Huns had already turned their faces.

On the other hand, after he learned about the passage of the canyon from other generals, his blood was boiling, and he couldn't wait to be there in person and kill the Huns with the general.

"Okay."

Bai Yan nodded.

Those armors were to be brought back to the families of those fallen soldiers.

Look at the remains of the soldiers, buried here.

In the future, as long as he and Bai's iron cavalry are still around, they will come here every year to sweep the grave.

If he and the Bai Iron Cavalry are all killed in battle, the Gaonu people still have a conscience and will come here to help sweep the graves.

The king of Qi was about to cry, and the king of Qi was angry.
