The battle of Liaodong ended with the crushing defeat of the Zuo Tu Qi Department and the Zuogu Liwang Department.

The two divisions sent a total of more than 70,000 troops, but only 18,000 escaped back to the curtain, and the losses were extremely great.

The only thing that can still make Yu Dan and Yi Zhixian feel fortunate is that their headquarters have not suffered too many losses, and they can still maintain a good strength among the Huns.

As for the scattering of those grassland departments, it's a pity that it's a pity, but it's not that the Xiongnu headquarters is gone, they are like the weeds on the grassland, they will grow again after a while, and no one will go around looting and annexing all the small tribes nearby.

For the steppe people, conquering and being conquered is like a daily routine.

returned to the tribe angrily all the way, but as soon as he arrived in the tribe, the scene in front of him directly made Yi Zhi dumbfounded.

Where have I gone?

What about so many people?

I saw that the headquarters of the king of Zuogu was in ruins, the felt landlord was crooked, the cattle and sheep were gone, and there were traces of flames burning everywhere.

I just went to Kou's side, and when I came home, I was stolen!

"Who! Such a big guts! Don't let this king find you, or this king will skin you and tear you apart! ”

In the tribe of Liwang of Zuogu, Yizhi leaned up to the sky and roared.

The same scene happened on Yudan's side, which returned to Hulun Lake a little later, and the area around Hulun Lake was looted, and the herdsmen were nowhere to be seen.

Far away in Liaoxi, Hu Shui looked back at the direction of the grassland as if he had realized something, and an immoral smile appeared on his face.

The tragedy suffered by the Yudan and the Yizhixian tribe was caused by him.

The total population of the two kings' headquarters was nearly 100,000 by him, and now the grassland is full of secret agents and merchants sent by Zhang Qi, so Hu Shui didn't have much effort, and sent most of the people back to Wuhuan through the passage of more than a dozen waves of secret agents.

And there are some on his own side, but these are the recruits he has recruited.

Since Zhang Qi gave him the right to recruit troops independently, Hu Shui has been expanding the number of guerrilla armies, and after looting the headquarters of the two kings, the number of guerrilla armies has reached 4,000, several times more than before.

With the extra manpower, Hu Shui is not idle, Liaoxi should still have Kou, the efficiency of grabbing things is high when there are more people, and the road that he didn't dare to take before can now be walked, and with 4,000 troops, neither the Han army nor the Xiongnu in Koubian in Liaoxi County dare to compete with him.

Liaodong.

After the news of Zhang Qi's victory came back to Xiangping that day, Zhang Yi breathed a long sigh of relief, and felt extremely fortunate in his heart for the good friend with Zhang Qi.

Before Zhang Qi was born, Wuhuan was actually in his consideration, but Zhang Qi came too quickly, and before he and Wuhuan could make friends, Wuhuan was gone.

Shi also fate, the disappearance of Wuhuan made him get acquainted with a fierce man, first with 500 to break 10,000 victories, this time with 10,000 cavalry 100,000 Hun troops, with less to win more, but it will never be as easy as eating and drinking with Zhang Qi.

He read and read the letters sent back from Wangping, but he could not restore the scene of 10,000 people entering the battle in his mind.

The 100,000 army of the Xiongnu retreated, and Liaodong is now as stable as an old dog, and at the moment when all counties are suffering losses, Liaodong's performance is as dazzling as the moon in the night sky.

As long as he sends the letter back to Chang'an, his career will be clear.

What do you mean by that?

I'm not a great person, and my strength is all due to my peers.

Zhang Yi often laughed at the letter sent back during this time, and kept laughing at the return of his youngest son Zhang Guang and eldest daughter Zhang Chan.

After Zhang Guang returned to the Taishou Mansion, he also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his intact father, although Zhang Qi told him about Liaodong Yiding, but before he saw it with his own eyes, his heart was always hanging.

And now that he saw it, the longing for his father in his heart could no longer be controlled, and with a snap, he knelt down in front of Zhang Yi.

"Children are not filial! Came back late. ”

"Okay, okay, it's good to be back, Kai is okay over there, you didn't make others unhappy."

Zhang Yi stroked his long beard with great relief and helped Zhang Guang up.

Zhang Guang shook his head: "Father's foresight is right, after the child stayed in his brother's tribe for a while, he found that his brother was different from the Huns, although his tribe still spoke Hu language, but there were many people who knew the official book.

Moreover, the child also found that the elder tribe had Mongolian learning, in which all children of appropriate age received enlightenment, and the texts they learned were all Chinese and official scripts. ”

Zhang Yi glanced at Zhang Guang in surprise: "Since you call Qi brother, that means that you don't reject this marriage?" ”

Zhang Guang blushed: "Father is a wise man, the child was a little unsure of what to do before, and the blue and white flowers are very good." ”

As he spoke, his eyes wandered around, and he didn't dare to look at Zhang Yi again.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, that's the case, then pick an auspicious day to get married as soon as possible, you are not young, and it is time to start a family."

Zhang Yi was pleased, now Zhang Qi's status in his heart has been raised again, for a local clan like them, betting on both ends is the most cost-effective thing, and the Han Dynasty has been weak for a long time, maybe it should also be considered in the future.

The matter of Ma Yi's conspiracy was known to the entire Han Dynasty, and he was naturally no exception, coupled with the revenge of the Xiongnu Koubian this time, which made Zhang Yi's confidence in the Han Dynasty lower by many grades.

And now that there is another tribe outside the Great Wall with great potential and amazing strength, it is inevitable that he will not think about it more.

Zhang Chan, who had been beside her, looked at the scene of the two fathers and sons being filial piety, and coughed lightly, she didn't know how long the two would look at each other without saying a word.

"Father, not only did we come back this time, but my brother also sent a dowry, 10,000 cattle and sheep, 3,000 horses, and some cloth and ginseng."

She is Zhang Guang's sister, so she calls Zhang Qi her brother like Zhang Guang.

"Judging from my brother's dowry, he attaches great importance to Qinghua, and the dowry you want to give here cannot be taken lightly."

Zhang Chan's words interrupted the father and son, who were immersed in their respective worlds.

Zhang Yi came to his senses, and coughed to hide his embarrassment: "This is natural, when Counselor Lu came to pick up and wait for you last time, he revealed that Qi is now lacking some people from all walks of life.

In this way, you selected some literate people from among the domestic servants, and arranged for people to go to other places to collect some people who were good at sewing and brewing mulberry and hemp to be accepted as domestic servants, and some corresponding craftsmen were also selected by the way.

After all, Qi is outside the Sai, these people should be able to help a lot, and besides, some copied books at home are also prepared, and they are based on 50,000 stone grains and grass.

This is our dowry for Zhang's family! ”

"My daughter is clear, so I'm going to prepare with my mother."

Zhang Chan bowed slightly, and then walked towards the inner courtyard, her mother had already passed.
