Before dusk on the second day, the Han army, which had marched more than 60 miles, finally came to the outside of Chengle City.

The originally large camp of the Aries tribe outside the city was in chaos at this time.

Subulu, who fled back from yesterday's hurried horse, immediately gave the order to retreat.

But the characteristic of nomadic tribes is that they take everyone and all their belongings wherever they go.

In the old camp of the Aries tribe, there are not only tens of thousands of old and weak women and children, but also hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, as well as all kinds of materials.

They don't have cars or trains, and the level of organization is so low, and they are in a hurry to get around.

Ding Zhuang of the Aries tribe still has it, but the previous fiasco led to low morale, and there are still a large number of people scattered outside, so they didn't have time to gather.

Su Bulu, who was beaten to the point of trembling, didn't believe that he could still withstand the Han army, let alone Cheng Buzhi in Chengle City.

Therefore, he did not hesitate at all, and as soon as he came back, he first took his palace tent and the people of the core tribe directly under him, loaded iron and wine, money, silk and medicinal materials and other expensive things into the cart, and drove a large number of cattle and sheep straight to Yunzhong County.

Before leaving, the four vassal tribes of Subulu arranged for the four vassal tribes of Shock, Belun, Scorn, and Fu to stay behind.

These four tribes were previously responsible for the siege of Chengle, so they did not suffer any losses.

But the problem is that the main forces of the Aries tribe have all returned with a miserable defeat, how can these four vassal tribes, which are only estimated to be seven or eight thousand strong, be able to stop the advance of the Han army?

Everyone knows that these four tribes are abandoned, and their only purpose of staying behind is to delay the pursuit of the Han army as much as possible, and to put it simply, to put it simply, to risk their lives to buy time for the Aries tribe to escape.

In this case, the vassal tribes, which are not already well organized and morale, have any intention of fighting.

When Li Yunze rushed to the outside of the city with reinforcements, the leaders of the four vassal tribes, almost in unison, took Ding Zhuang of their respective tribes to ride horses to chase the old and weak who ran away before, leaving the entire camp to the Han army.

"King!"

Hanbok and others, who were in high spirits, rode over and urged, "Hurry up and chase it." ”

"I can't chase it."

Li Yunze simply shook his head and looked at Chengle City, which slowly opened the city gate, "The soldiers marched nearly seventy miles in a hurry, and at this time, there were still many soldiers who were left behind and failed to keep up. The formation is scattered and the physical strength is exhausted, and if the forced pursuit is beaten back by the cavalry, it will not be worth it

Lose. ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed to Cheng Buzhi, who drove out of the city in the distance, "They can try." ”

Cheng Buzhi, who had long been aware of the movement outside the city, finally chose to leave the city after seeing the banner of reinforcements.

Such actions made Li Yunze shake his head.

If it is said that Su Bulu did not leave the city when he went east yesterday, Li Yunze said that it is understandable, because it may be a plan to lure the enemy.

But when Subulu fled back last night, it is impossible for the city not to notice it at all, right?

Even if not, then what about this morning, so many people are old and weak, driving cattle, sheep and horses to run away, the defenders in the city can't all be blind, right?

But there was no movement in the city, and I waited until the sunset spread over the earth at this time, and I saw that it was about to get dark.

Seeing that it is about to get dark, what is the use of coming out now.

Li Yunze originally thought that since Cheng Buzhi was a famous general, he must be able to judge the battlefield situation and seize the opportunity to take the initiative to attack.

Even if you can't defeat the Aries tribe, you can entangle its main force or cut off its tail.

He did not hesitate to carry out a forced march with a lot of losses, causing many soldiers to fall behind and even die, just to be able to rush over in time to cooperate with Cheng Buzhi and flank the attack.

It's a pity that Cheng Buzhi's performance really disappointed him, what is the difference between this Nima and Yuan Chonghuan?

"If you don't move, you don't know the mountain, you really don't move."

Sima Qian said that Cheng Buzhi had never lost a battle, and if he really defended the city like this every time, he really couldn't be defeated, unless the city was breached.

Cheng Buzhi finally left the city, but instead of chasing the fleeing Huns, he went straight to find reinforcements that had already entered the old camp of the Aries tribe.

The Aries tribe is huge, numbering tens of thousands of people in their own right.

Moreover, there are more than ten vassal tribes under his command, and this time they came to Dingxiang County, and the total population should be more than 60,000.

Not to mention the scattered losses before, the core of its headquarters ran away this morning, and the four vassal tribes that could still organize Ding Zhuang after the previous break also ran away with the people in the tribe.

But there are still many vassal tribes of the old and weak, and even those abandoned by the Aries tribe have remained in the old camp.

There are more than 10,000 of these people.

There are also various tents and other materials in the old camp, as well as countless cattle, sheep and horses scattered outside.

"Heh~~~"

Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Li Yunze was happy, "Isn't this the trick used by the Liukou in the late Ming Dynasty when they escaped?" ”

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the rogues were chased by the officials and soldiers and could not escape, they would throw down the gold and silver goods on the roadside, and then leave the Dingkou for the officials and soldiers to kill.

These abandoned old and weak were used to delay the Han army, and the cattle, sheep, horses, and the materials left in the old camp were the gold and silver goods thrown down by the Aries tribe.

I have to say that although it is a nomadic tribe, it is very sophisticated in terms of scheming.

With the clanging sound of armor, Cheng Buzhi led the team over.

Everyone around Li Yunze, except for his own soldiers, all saluted Cheng Buzhi.

Cheng Buzhi is the county guard of Dingxiang, Hanbok Chen Xin and others are all lieutenants under his command, and the most intuitive relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Seeing Li Yunze, Cheng Buzhi showed surprise on his face.

Quickly stepped forward, and when he was seven or eight steps away, Cheng Buzhi finally confirmed his identity, and immediately saluted, "Minister, Cheng Buzhi." Meet the King~~~"

Li Yunze's heart moved slightly, and he stepped forward with a smile, "The general doesn't need to be polite, but I have seen this king in Chang'an City?" ”

"Yes."

Cheng Buzhi stood up straight, his brows furrowed slightly, "Why is the king here?" ”

He knew that the prince Shengbei was in Zhongshan Kingdom, but this was Dingxiang County, why did the king of Zhongshan Kingdom come to Dingxiang County?

Raising his chin slightly, Li Yunze responded loudly, "The Huns have entered the Kou, as a man of the Han family, he should be in the place to resist the foreign invaders!" ”

These words are called a righteous and awe-inspiring person, and all the soldiers around him are full of admiration.

Only Cheng Buzhi's face remained unchanged, "Dare to ask the king, is there an edict from the Son of Heaven?" ”

Leaving the fiefdom without the edict of the Son of Heaven is a great crime.

"There is no edict."

Li Yunze admitted very simply, "The important thing now is that the general should immediately gather the elite to pursue the Huns, they have not gone far, as long as they resolutely pursue, they will definitely have gains." ”

Cheng Buzhi shook his head more simply, "It's late, as the old saying goes, clouds and snow can't reach bridges, and nights can't go through the forest." If you are greedy for merit, it will give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it. ”

"Ha~~~"

Li Yunze sneered, "This king understands why you have never lost a battle." The enemy invades and does not move like a mountain, the enemy plunders and does not move like a mountain, and the enemy does not move like a mountain. It's so easy to be undefeated, just don't fight. If so, then the king is here

Here, too, you can be undefeated! ”

That's a lot of weight.

Cheng Buzhi's personal soldiers drew their swords and glared angrily, and Li Yunze's personal soldiers naturally did not show weakness, and also drew their swords to confront each other.

The atmosphere is extremely tense, and there is a possibility of fire at any time.

Li Yunze understands why after Liu Che took the throne in history, there was no news or movement from Cheng Buzhi.

With his almost identical mode of fighting with Yuan Chonghuan, it is of course impossible to be reused in the Wudi Dynasty, which advocates attack.

Cheng Buzhi, who had a calm face, motioned to the soldiers to put away their knives.

He bowed his hand to Li Yunze, "The king has no edict to go out of the country privately, and he also invites the king to rest in Chengle, and the emperor will be given to the son of heaven at the end of the day, and the decision will be made by the son of heaven." ”

"Just because you want to lock me up?"

Li Yunze sneered, "This king wants to see today, who dares to touch this king?" ”

Cheng Buzhi sighed and shook his head, "The king misunderstood, the minister is just worried about the king, the minister will write to the Son of Heaven, making it clear that this matter is decided by the Son of Heaven." ”

After saying that, Cheng Buzhi saluted Li Yunze, and then beckoned Hanbok and others to return to Chengle.

As for chasing down the fleeing Aries tribe or anything, don't even think about it.

"Wait."

Li Yunze called out to Cheng Buzhi, who was about to leave, and said in his confusion: "The soldiers of the Three Martial Arts fought desperately to thwart the Huns' entry into Dingxiang County, and won countless victories. Their exploits cannot be lost. ”

"It's nature."

Cheng Buzhi nodded in response, "In this matter, Sima in the Free Army is responsible for counting the merits of the war, don't worry, the king." ”

In other words, you don't need to meddle in the affairs of the Great Wall Legion.

Drifting military exploits was the norm at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

The civil servants did not lose military merits and military rewards or anything, but they were heretics.

But at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, who dared to drift away from military exploits, that is, the lanterns were lit in the toilet.

Li Yunze didn't say anything more, and calmly watched Cheng Buzhi return to Chengle City.

As the big banner that Cheng didn't know disappeared into the city gate cave, Li Yunze turned his head to look at the golden sunset in the sky in the distance, "Lao Tzu just uses Feng Tang and Li Guang, and I don't need you!" ”

What an undefeated famous general, it's really a ghost blown out by Sima Qian!

Li Yunze originally planned to persuade Cheng Buzhi to hand over all the soldiers and horses of Dingxiang County to his command.

In that case, he would be able to gather tens of thousands of border troops, send troops to the side of Yunzhong County to rescue, and even have a decisive battle with Da Dan Yu.

Can.

It's just that you can do whatever you want.

Li Yunze began to gather people and horses, take care of the captured Huns, count the captured cattle, sheep and horses, sort out supplies, and so on.

A few days later, Chang'an City.

Two copies of the notes from Zhongshan Kingdom and Dingxiang County were sent to Weiyang Palace at the same time by an expedited 400-mile contract.

These two copies were military newspapers, and they were of the highest rank at all the post stations along the way, so that they could be delivered to the Son of Heaven in the shortest possible time.

Liu Qi, who was angry because of the Xiongnu's entry into the Kou, saw Zhang Ou's recital and said that the King of Zhongshan broke the Xiongnu Aries Department in Dingxiang County, and captured more than 10,000 people, and suddenly his head hurt sharply and he screamed.

'Ah~~~'

The close ministers and chamberlains around him were shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, but they were pushed away by Liu Qi.

"Hate, hate!!"

Liu Qi, who looked grief-stricken, gritted his teeth and pounded his chest, "If you knew that you had broken the Aries Department, why did you have to go and kiss!" ”
