Military exploits
After the interrogation, Cheng An already knew the true identity of the child, returned to Li Hanning, and told Li Hanning everything he had just asked:
"General Li, I have asked carefully, the map is true, that child is Qianzhan's half-brother named Ashina, twelve years old this year, his mother died early, and he was still young, and he did not fight Qianzhan when he inherited Shan Yu's position."
Li Hanning had heard about the relationship between the brothers in their Xiongnu court before, just like the relationship between the royal family and princes of their Great Liang, so it was not surprising that Ashina was willing to help him.
"Later, after today's Chang Dan Yu took the position, he exterminated all of his younger brothers, leaving only this one Ashina, although his younger brother is still young, I heard that Qian Zhan did not fully trust him, and that couple was probably the one who was sent to watch over him."
Li Hanning had naturally heard about the matter of Qianzhan before, no wonder that little boy would choose to help them.
Li Hanning said to Cheng An: "I have carefully read the map of Ashina, walk west along this stream, it will probably take less than a few hours to be the residence of the King of Thousand Battles Uncle Tingfeng, that uncle single-handedly supported him to become Shan Yu, which is very important to him, and more importantly, his residence is the place where they worship the god of Kunlun.
Although Li Hanning is the general with the highest rank among these people at the moment, Cheng An's identity is different, he is the most prestigious here, and he has a friendship with Xiao Ce who grew up with him, Li Hanning naturally consults with her everywhere before making a decision.
It was a great gift from his own brother Ashina.
Cheng An raised his eyebrows, speaking of which is really a great gift, this place is different from other places, Cheng An said: "The Huns believe in the Kunlun God, I think those stone statues are their own life, if we can occupy Huifeng Valley, we will be able to shake their military hearts." ”
Li Hanning naturally thought so in his heart, if Xiao Ce was here now, he would make the same decision: "Then pass the order, rest here for half a stick of incense, and then go west." ”
"Yes."
Most of the soldiers and horses in Huifeng Valley have been transferred by the Wind King of the Huns to protect Qianzhan, so the guards here are empty, and thousands of soldiers under Li Hanning and Cheng An have passed, but in the time of half a burnt incense, they have already swept the leaves in the autumn wind to beat the Huifeng Valley, and the banner of the Xiongnu royal court at the mouth of the valley has been replaced by their Xiaozi flag in Luoyang.
Li Hanning stood with his hands in his hands, now the highest place in the valley mouth, the farther west he walked along the stream, the lighter the fog became, and now the fog had dispersed where they were standing, and the surrounding emptiness was unobstructed.
Cheng An also followed up after dealing with it:
"General Li, those uncles of Qianzhan are quite backbone, and I still don't want to surrender after persuading them for a long time."
These were expected by Li Hanning: "Since they are unwilling to surrender, then there is no need to force them, let's kill them all on the spot." ”
She is willing to fulfill the integrity of those people.
Cheng An also thought so in his heart, anyway, those people also killed a lot of them in the Central Plains, if they were caught by these people, those people would not be merciful.
"One more thing, I'm curious, you said that if His Royal Highness and the town Beihou knew about the situation on our side, how surprised would they be if you said they?"
Unless they caught Qianzhan Yu himself, they would not have as much as their achievements on this trip.
Li Hanning was silent here, Xiao Ce's side shouldn't need them to worry, after all, all the main forces are now by his side, but after Luoyang, this is the first time they have separated on the battlefield, after all, there are more difficult Hun main forces outside, if you can, Li Hanning also wants to return to him as soon as possible.
Yun Yan and Xiao Ce, who were also delayed on the grassland for two days, were obviously not as good as those there, this is the main force in their northern territory, and on the way to find them, they fought several battles with the Huns along the way.
The scouts who were sent out to find them from behind the town Beihou still had no whereabouts, but just when they were at a loss for Li Hanning and Cheng An, a battle report came from the front.
"Report to the Second Highness, report to the town of Beihou, there is good news from the front, General Li and General Cheng have defeated Huifeng Valley, and the Feng King and others who originally guarded Huifeng Valley have died."
When Yun Yan heard this, she immediately glanced at Xiao Ce on the side quietly, and when she saw Xiao Ce suddenly, Yun Yan followed and glanced at the soldier who gave the order with some disbelief:
"What did you just say, you say it again!"
The guard naturally had a smile on his face that couldn't be hidden, these days, the troops they were most worried about, the people who had not heard from them the most, suddenly did something important that surprised them all, so he said to the town in front of him, Beihou:
"Back to the town of Beihou, General Li and General Cheng have defeated Huifeng Valley, and the Feng King and others who originally guarded Huifeng Valley have died."
Backwind Valley.
Yun Yan has been in the north for so many years, so she naturally knows what this important place means to the Huns, but Qian Zhan has arranged for the Wind King, who has always loved him the most, to guard this place.
Xiao Ce was indeed relieved to hear that they were still safe.
In fact, his original idea was that Li Hanning and Cheng An would be able to come back safely this time.
After finally reacting to what had happened, Xiao Ce immediately said: "We are not far from here and Huifeng Valley, we are fighting all the way, and now we will fight over, and I ordered the three armies to set off immediately to meet General Li and General Cheng." ”
"Yes."
Li Hanning looked at the fog that gradually dissipated, now not only Xiao Ce's side knows that they are not dead and have occupied Huifeng Valley, but the Huns should also have received the news, and then they just need to stay here and wait for Yun Yan and Xiao Ce to come.
Cheng An looked at the valley bottom in front of him, the scenery here is the best, but it is still not as beautiful as their Central Plains, and this time the Wind Valley is about to usher in a big war, and it is no longer peaceful.
Cheng An said to Li Hanning beside him: "To be honest, I am indeed a little worried, the battle in Huifeng Valley has been defeated, but that Qianzhan is not an idle person, if this place is so important to the Huns, they should soon counterattack." ”
And this time they are facing the Huns who are more ferocious like wolves, after all, in their eyes, these so-called Central Plains people, have blasphemed the Kunlun God that they have always believed in.
Li Hanning naturally knew the meaning of Cheng An's words, but it was a pity that they not only wanted to blaspheme, but also to hold a celebration wine for the great victory in the north here.
Therefore, before Xiao Ce and Yun Yan rushed here, she and Cheng An must defend the return to Wind Valley.
Li Hanning glanced sharply at Cheng An on the side: "Since you said that they are wolves on the grassland, wouldn't it be happier for us to defeat them on the grassland." ”
Cheng An was stunned, the look in her eyes just now made him have an illusion for a moment that he saw Xiao Ce in her, and that look was really similar just now, obviously there was such a big difference between the two of them.
In short, he was also prejudiced against the general around him before, after all, he didn't like Li Zhao and naturally didn't like the people taught by Li Zhao himself, but when he came out this time, Cheng An had a great change in his opinion of Li Hanning, and now that Xiao Ce had so many powerful generals around him who could accompany him on the next road, he was also relieved.

"Da Danyu, there is Huifeng Valley in front."
"The Wind King, he refused to surrender after he was arrested, and he has been cut off by the person named Li Hanning and hung with a spear at the mouth of the Wind Valley."
Qian Zhan rode on horseback, looking at the Huifeng Valley close at hand.
This is the place where they have been worshiping since childhood, the most sacred and majestic place of the Xiongnu royal court, and more importantly, their general surnamed Li also killed the person who was closest to him and loved him the most since he was a child.
Damn it.
However, in addition to being resentful, it is impossible for Qian Zhan to believe that Li Hanning's luck is so good, this is the place where they sacrifice to the Kunlun God, how could their god help the people of the Central Plains?
"There's a fog along the side of the creek, how could they possibly find this place accurately, and just in time to know that this place is guarded empty?"
The Hun generals on the side were also suspicious.
After the news of the sneak attack in Returnwind Valley came out, Qian Zhan understood the answer to this question:
"Naturally, my good brother shouldn't have been soft-hearted in the first place."
"Now—"
Qian Zhan's eyes sank, and there was a little more fierceness in his eyes, the past was just for the sake of his child being a child, since he was looking for death, he naturally wouldn't let him live:
"Ashina shook the morale of the army and betrayed the intelligence of Huifeng Valley to the enemy, and my younger brother will not be able to escape the blame for his death, kill it, cut off his head, and give it to the general Li in the valley as a meeting gift."
The Hun soldier behind him bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”
Li Hanning's side naturally knew that it would be difficult for him to defend the Wind Valley, but if he could stay here for a while, Xiao Ce would have more hope, so the thousands of people they had already occupied in the Wind Valley, even if they stood to the last soldier, they would never leave this time.
"Back to Lord Li, there have been many Hun soldiers rushed to the mouth of Huifeng Valley, and the banner on them is the flag of the Hun King, and it is the guard of the Hun Dadan Yu Qianzhan in Qianzhan."
Li Hanning, who was standing at the mouth of the valley, quietly glanced at Cheng An on the side:
"In this way, it was Qian Zhan himself who came."
Cheng Anxin reassured: "Such an important place, of course a conceited person like him wants to take it back by himself, or he has no way to retreat, His Royal Highness should have won several big battles in a row in the past few days, if he can't take back the military heart of the Huns, I'm afraid that the Huns will really be defeated." ”
In this way, it is worth it for them to stay here.
This is not only understood by Li Hanning and Cheng An, but also by thousands of soldiers in Huifeng Valley.
Then they will defend it with their own lives.
