Inside the city of Taiyuan. After Zhang Lang occupied Taiyuan, he immediately ordered his troops to switch to a state of rest and defense.

This war was a bit of a fluke for Zhang Lang to win. Although they finally succeeded in repelling the Huns and recapturing Taiyuan, all the armies under Zhang Lang paid a very heavy price.

At this moment, Zhang Lang's army was no longer able to attack, so it could only rely on the city to rest and wait for reinforcements.

Taiyuan, a famous city in the world, and the seat of the state administration, but after the Huns ravaged the country, the damage was quite serious.

More than 10,000 people were slaughtered in the city, and almost every family mourned, and everyone wept. Almost a fifth of the houses in the city were burned down, and as far as the eye could see, there was a miserable scene of ruins everywhere.

Zhang Lang stood on the city wall, looking at the sad scene in the city, his brows were furrowed tightly, and there was no joy after the big victory in his heart.

Zhang He and Dian Wei hurriedly came to Zhang Lang's side, saluted Zhang Lang and said, "General (big brother)." ”

Zhang Lang couldn't help muttering: "In this battle, although we repelled the Huns, the price we paid was too heavy!" ……”

Zhang Hedianwei couldn't help but feel touched and fell silent.

Zhang Lang turned his head to look at the two of them and asked, "How are you doing?" ”

The two of them immediately came to their senses, and Dian Wei hugged his fists and said: "I went to release all the Taiyuan troops who were imprisoned by the Huns according to the general's orders, and got a total of more than 8,000 people." Everyone is grateful to the general and willing to serve the general. ”

Zhang He hugged his fists and said: "The younger brother was ordered to check the treasury in the city, and found an astonishing number of goods and war horses, as well as tens of thousands of young women, all of whom were captured by the Huns. ......" glanced up at Zhang Lang.

Zhang Lang nodded and said, "Go on." ”

Zhang He continued: "The junior brother temporarily placed those women in several ownerless mansions. As for the various types of goods seized, the exact number is still being counted.

However, preliminary estimates suggest that the total value of these goods will be ten times greater than the amount previously seized from sheep's heads. ”

Zhang Lang asked, "What about the grain and grass?" How much grain and grass was seized? ”

Zhang He shook his head and said, "There is almost nothing in grain and grass. ……”

Zhang Lang frowned and said: "If there is no grain and grass, the grain and grass in our hands will not last long!" There was a moment of silence, and then he asked, "You just said that you captured a lot of war horses?" ”

Zhang He immediately clenched his fists and said, "Yes." It should be the spare war horses brought by the Huns, and the total number should be more than 30,000. ”

Zhang Lang smiled: "That's not bad. ”

Zhang He and Dian Wei couldn't help but laugh when they saw Zhang Lang laughing.

Zhang Lang pondered: "Since the grain and grass have not been seized, then the current grain and grass will be saved." As a last resort, he took out tens of thousands of war horses to eat.

With these tens of thousands of horses, we and the people in the city will not starve to death. ”

At the same time, in an inconspicuous small courtyard in the city, Wu Changfeng, Zhao De and others were gathering together to discuss matters.

These dozen or so people arrived at the city of Taiyuan not long ago, and took advantage of the fact that the Han army could not take care of all the city walls, and from a section of the city wall without defenders, they used hooks and other tools to climb the city wall and sneak into the city.

Zhao Desi pondered: "According to the news just received, Yuan Mai's subordinates are either arranged on the city wall to guard, or they are in the city to appease the people and count the spoils.

Zhang He and Dian Wei, the two fierce generals, were not by his side, and in addition to Yuan Mai, there were only dozens of guards in the Taishou Mansion, and there was also a seriously injured Zhang Liao. That's exactly what we're going to do next. ”

Wu Changfeng nodded, glanced at Zhao De, and said, "Since this is the case, then there is no further ado." Start the action tonight, and make sure to hit it right in one shot. Get out of here as soon as you get it. ”

The sun had set, and night had fallen between heaven and earth.

There was silence in the city of Taiyuan, although there was curling smoke, but there was a heavy and oppressive atmosphere in the air.

Zhang Lang, surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers of the Blade Army, rode out of the barracks on horseback and headed for the Taishou Mansion. It was obvious that he was walking on the street, but the clatter of the horse's hooves on the ground showed a lonely feeling.

Crying was heard in the night, and the whole city was clearly still in mourning.

Many people on both sides of the street are burning clothes for their lost loved ones, a tradition that has been passed down through the ages, hoping that those who enter the Yellow Springs will receive the items they used in front of them.

"It's General Yuan Mai!" Someone shouted excitedly. People looked up at Zhang Lang one after another, and involuntarily stopped what they were doing and bowed to Zhang Lang. Although everyone looked very sad, their eyes were full of gratitude and awe when they looked at Zhang Lang.

Faced with such a scene, Zhang Lang really didn't know what to say.

Back in the hall of the Taishou Mansion, the soldiers retreated, and Zhang Lang walked to the map alone and looked at the map in front of him, frowning slightly.

Because not long ago, the scouts came to the news that King Youxian was not dead, and the Xiongnu army stopped after retreating to the sheep intestine warehouse more than 100 miles northwest of Taiyuan.

The sheep intestine warehouse, as the name suggests, was originally a warehouse, which was originally built by the Han court to support the army to march to the north to fight the Huns. The position is very dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Zhang Lang looked at the location of the sheep intestine warehouse on the map, frowned, and said, "King Youxian is not dead!" That stab me through his left chest? Is his heart not on the left side, but on the right? ”

Thinking about this, I just feel that this is the only way to explain this situation. Sighed, feeling a little regretful.

Footsteps were heard at the doorway.

Zhang Lang retracted his thoughts and looked towards the door, only to see a soldier of the Blade Force walking in with his head down and a large basin of steaming food.

However, Zhang Lang's heart suddenly became vigilant, and he only felt as if something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling that after a series of battles, he had become a little too sensitive.

The soldier of the Blade Force walked straight to Zhang Lang two steps away, and suddenly lifted his hands, and a large basin of steaming food flew towards Zhang Lang!

Zhang Lang suddenly saw this scene, his heart was shocked, and he subconsciously jumped to the side to dodge.

At the same time, Zhang Lang suddenly saw that the warrior had flashed in front of him without knowing when, the cold light in his hand was dazzling, and a sword turned into a bolt of lightning and stabbed straight at Zhang Lang's chest!

The incident happened suddenly, and the cultivator's cultivation surpassed Zhang Lang's, so that Zhang Lang didn't have time to dodge at all, only to hear a thud, and the sword stabbed Zhang Lang's chest!

The warrior, no, it should be said that he was an assassin, after the first blow was successful, he immediately flew up and kicked Zhang Lang in the shoulder, Zhang Lang's whole person flew out sideways, and with a loud bang, he knocked over a desk not far away and fell to the ground! No movement!
