There are more and more steppe people kneeling on the battlefield.

And more and more Han troops came down the dirt slope from the city wall.

Of the 20,000 elites, 178,000 fled, leaving behind mostly scattered people on the steppe, who were diligent herdsmen when there was no war, and soldiers when there was war or collective activities such as Koubian.

The six thousand Han troops brought by Zhang Qi were killed and wounded six or seven hundred, but fortunately, most of them were lightly and seriously wounded, and the dead were only a hundred, and the biggest loss was the Wangping defenders.

Before Zhang Qifu, they had already fought with the Xiongnu for more than ten days, during which they suffered casualties.

Although Zhang Qi's morale was greatly boosted after his arrival, the result of the great increase in combat effectiveness was that the casualties increased.

However, at this moment, the casualties have not been counted, and the prisoners and sword soldiers on the battlefield have been cleared.

They were busy from three or four o'clock in the afternoon until seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and Zhang Qi and the others completely controlled tens of thousands of prisoners.

At this moment, the gate of Wangping City was wide open, and the county lieutenant had been waiting there.

So even though Zhang Qi was tired, he still beat his horse over.

"I've seen General Zhang! General Zhang is brave! ”

"Yes, yes!"

The county lieutenant complimented him by the city gate, and Zhang Qi got off the horse with a smile.

"The county lieutenant has been waiting for a long time, I am a martial artist, and I forgot to come here for a while."

"General Zhang's words are serious, this is a matter of the survival of a city, how can you blame General Zhang, if you want to blame it, you can only blame the two of us for being too cautious, and for a while I forgot to step forward to help General Zhang collect the prisoners."

The county is forty or fifty, and it can be seen that his career has come to an end at this age.

And the young county lieutenant nodded on the side: "Yes, yes." ”

Zhang Qike said a few words, and the county lieutenants of Wangping County were all mediocre, so he also lightened his mind to make friends, and after a few words of greeting and coping with the scene, he got on the horse and left.

At this moment, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and the Han army was mostly blind at night, so Zhang Qi did not rashly take people to escort the prisoners at night, but stationed nearby.

Wangping County is naturally happy about this, who knows if the Huns will come back after Zhang Qi is gone, so the rich families in the city have generously sent wine and meat.

Zhang Qilai did not refuse, and borrowed more than 10,000 troops and 40,000 or 50,000 prisoners, and the consumption of grain and grass was already large.

In addition to wine, food, and grass, many wealthy families in the city also quietly asked people to bring messages to Zhang Qi, asking if there was still a shortage of people in Zhang Qi's army, and that they had soldiers in their families who could be temporarily lent to him. （p1）

Zhang Qiming is thinking about these rich people, but they still don't refuse to come, it's good to lend him soldiers, and now they are borrowing, but after a while, whether these loaned soldiers still recognize them depends on what Zhang Qi thinks.

You know how powerful faith is with a carrot stick.

For the first time.

For the first time, Zhang Qi achieved great results while increasing his soldiers, which couldn't help but make him have more expectations for Han land.

The land is so fertile.

Next.

Zhang Qi ordered more than 13,000 soldiers to escort the captives north.

Although the Han army hesitated, their admiration for Zhang Qi during the war made them still follow Zhang Qi's orders after the war ended.

But this is also for the sake of escorting the prisoners.

The captain of the Han army said to Zhang Qi that he would return to Liaodong without stopping after helping him escort the prisoners.

Zhang Qi also smiled at this, and explained out loud that Zhang Taishou's family was in his tribe at the moment, so this time, in addition to asking the Han army to help escort the prisoners, he wanted them to bring Zhang Taishou's family back to Liaodong.

Hearing this, the captain of the Han military academy breathed a sigh of relief, and after he stepped out of the Great Wall, two voices kept ringing in his head: "Go back quickly, don't cooperate with the enemy." And: "Let's go with General Zhang, wouldn't it be nice to gallop on the battlefield under him!" ”

The two voices almost drove him crazy, but fortunately, Zhang Qi explained, which made him a lot easier, but he felt a little lost in his heart.

It is undeniable that on the battlefield yesterday, Zhang Qi's personal charm was fully released, and it is not too much to describe him with the phrase "Yongguan Three Army".

The skills of swordsmen, archery, and riding are all top-notch, and Zhang Qi's attitude towards wounded soldiers after the war can also show that Zhang Qi will not give up anyone who is side by side with him.

The captain of the Han military saw clearly that the four or five hundred wounded under his command had all saved their lives, and except for a few dozen particularly unlucky unlucky ones who might have been disabled since then, everyone else had the day to recover from their health.

And even those who were disabled, Zhang Qi also gave a rich reward, this was the first time that they, the Han army, had seen a general who treated them like this for so long.

It's a bit too much to say that each has a heart, but Zhang Qi's figure has become an indelible glory in the military career of these Han soldiers.

The road back to Wuhuan was very peaceful, and when Yi Zhixian and Yu Shan returned to their respective tribes, the in the tribe was enough for them to have a headache, so they couldn't separate their hands to do other things.

Zhang Qi asked, and the answer he got was because of their horses, so Hu Shui did not join with the whole army, but divided a few soldiers into the grassland horses to join Yi Zhixian's convocation to inquire about information.

During this period, the soldiers of the Guyi Army also asked if they wanted to summon them over to join the battle, but Zhang Qi thought about it and simply let them wait until Yizhi Xian and them completely sent troops to Handi, and then make a big fuss in Hulunbuir.

Therefore, during this campaign, the Guyi Army must have had a good time in Hulunbuir when Yi Zhi and the two of them led the army out.

Zhang Qi laughed a little unkindly, since the day he recovered, it seems that he has been picking up Yu Dan's wool, and now that he thinks about it, Zhang Qi is a little embarrassed.

For more than ten days, the captives were safely sent to Wuhuan, and at this moment, Wuhuan was not the same as before, full of construction workers walking around and sweating.

After the brick kiln began to produce and had output, Wuhuan began to build the city, cement, masonry, and countless jobs, at this moment Wuhuan is like a giant beast that swallows up labor, in the face of the tens of thousands of captives brought back by Zhang Qi, Hu Ling and others were not embarrassed, but they all showed excited expressions.

The more people, the better, since Wuhuan began to build the city, Hu Ling and others found that tens of thousands of people could not fill Wuhuan at all, and there were countless people needed to dig the foundation, not to mention, the city wall would be built later.

In the blueprint discussed between Hu Ling and others and Zhang Qi, the city wall of Wuhuan City is at least ten kilometers long, and as Zhang Qi's rear, this city must have enough internal space.

The Western Han Dynasty was not allowed to raise domestic soldiers and annex land, but it was forbidden to be slaves, so they understood everything.
