The dark night of the grassland came a little later than that of the Central Plains, and after more than two hours of cleaning by the soldiers of the Jiang family, when night fell and the stars occupied the sky, except for the residual smell of blood in the air, it was basically impossible to see that there had just been a residual battle here.

As wolves howl and dogs howl on the grassland, bonfires are lit, and survivors who have been terrified for days sit around, and now they can finally eat a good meal and sleep soundly.

The dead are gone, and the living have to continue, and they are lucky compared to the lonely grave that rises on the hill not far away. At least for the moment, they could still sit around the campfire, roasting horse meat and eating dry food, and of course they would not forget the sergeants who came and went to guard them.

"Mr. George, is he better?" In the temporary military tent, Guan Yu tasted the horse meat that his own soldiers had just served, and greeted the pale Xin Bi on the side.

"If Senior Brother Yun doesn't eat, it will definitely be better." Facing Guan Yu's greeting, Xin Bi pushed the still shiny horse meat on the dining table in front of him, and said with a handkerchief covering his mouth.

Looking at Xin Bi's pitiful appearance, Guan Yu had no appetite, and casually threw away the knife in his hand and beckoned his soldiers to take the food table away. I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, it seems that this literati still can't do the work of a military general.

Guan Yu didn't expect that this resourceful Xin Gezhi would vomit in a dark mess after seeing the Jingguan made of Hu people's heads.

Of course, this is just Guan Yu's wishful thinking, not to mention a weak person like Xin Bi who usually doesn't even dare to be a chicken, even if it is a man who is five big and three thick, and is as bold as a cow, he will be scared half to death when he sees the mountain of heads.

Now this Simbi is just scared and vomited, it is completely a normal reaction, not only Xinbi, but also many recruits have this reaction when they see blood for the first time, which is a normal phenomenon. Even if it was him Guan Yu, when he saw thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers who were burned to death by fire in Changshe, wasn't he disgusted and didn't eat for two days, he forgot the pain with his scars.

Guan Yu wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth with a wet towel and picked up the tea on the table, before he asked with doubts: "Okay, George." Can you now explain to the general why he let those captives go? How many of my people have been killed by these people, even if they divide their five horses, they will not be too angry, and they will still spare them. ”

"General Guan Kecheng remembers the purpose of our department's coming to this Qiuzi?" Seeing Guan Yu looking at him with an unkind face, Xin Bi didn't worry and asked directly.

"Of course, according to the arrangement of the fourth brother, the purpose of our department is to cut off the connection between the Hu people and the Xiongnu, so as to help the fourth brother complete the purpose of conquering the Xiongnu. But what does this have to do with letting the captives go、、、、"

"Of course, the purpose of our trip is to occupy Qiuci, the Qiuci people are not strong in combat, General Guan should know something. After today's battle, the Qiuzi people must also be afraid of the power of our army, which can be clearly seen from the surrender of those captives. ”

"Even so, why can't we let that influence go any further? This battle of our army is not about how many enemies are killed, but about how quickly we can occupy Qiuzi City. ”

"According to the confession of the captives just now, there are not too many Hu people who rebelled in Qiancheng, and now let these captives flee back to broadcast the prestige of the general, if there is no mistake in judgment, we can recapture it Qiancheng without blood tomorrow morning. said that he may not be able to receive the surrender table of the Qiuzi people, and when the meat is on the board, it is not what the general wants. ”

After listening to what Xin Bi said, Guan Yu's heart suddenly brightened, although he didn't really want to let go of the Qiuci people like this, but now it is a good idea to take Qiuci as soon as possible. Others don't know the situation in the army today, but he Guan Yu knows very well that the current Jiang family army has no reinforcements from outside and no food and salary inside, and it can't afford to squander it at all.

Although he has an army of 5,000 in his hands now, if he really fights, even if he wins, his army will be broken, and it would indeed be a good thing if he could win this battle without blood.

Thinking of this, Guan Yu had no choice but to nod and say: "Then according to what George said, I will march again tomorrow, and I will have to trouble George to repair a letter and report this matter to the fourth brother." ”

"This is a matter within the contiguous division, General Guan can rest assured that he will do it immediately、、、、、

As Xin Bi expected, Bai Ying, who occupied the capital protection mansion, did not have time to enjoy the two beautiful girls given to him by his subordinates, so he heard the message of the captives who fled back, and the soldiers and horses sent out to chase the rout of the Han army were all annihilated by the Han reinforcements, and Bai Kui himself died without a body.

As soon as he heard this news, Bai Ying panicked, the soldiers under this Bai Kui were the most brave soldiers in the clan, if they were all easily annihilated, then he still had the strength to fight. Especially after hearing that the number of reinforcements of the Han army was more than 5,000 and they were well-equipped, Bai Ying had no idea of avenging Bai Kui.

Of course, now that the city is full of less than 2,000 soldiers, even if Bai Ying wants to take revenge, he doesn't have the strength, even if he has the strength, he will return to Qiuzi City and gather more than 10,000 warriors in the clan, but in the face of the well-equipped Han army, it is not necessarily an opponent.

After weighing for a moment, Bai Ying did not hesitate to order all the clan soldiers to rush back to Qiuzi overnight, and even gave up most of the materials looted in the city, and none of the prisoners dared to harm them.

Of course, Bai Ying is so merciful, thanks to the captives who escaped to tell that the reinforcements of the Han army this time are completely different from the previous Han army, it is like killing gods, not only cutting off the heads of the warriors who died in the battle and tying them around their waists, but also building the heads into Jingguan, and using Jingguan as the tombstone of the tomb to comfort the Han soldiers who died in battle.

Hurriedly returning to Qiuzi City, Bai Ying closed the city gate before relieving himself, and at the same time he was very aggrieved in his heart.

Originally, I saw that the Huns had fought the Great Wall, and I also came to fish in troubled waters to bring some benefits to the clansmen, so that I could sit in the position of the king of Qiuzi smoothly in the future. But this is a good thing, the benefits have not been reaped, and nearly a thousand of the bravest warriors in the clan have been lost. And the most terrible thing is to provoke the unknown revenge of the Han army.

Thinking of this, Bai Ying also had to go to his old father Wang Baiba and beg him to come forward to solve the crisis.

Of course, in fact, it is not a crisis, and it is not the first time that they have rebelled, every time they only need to send a surrender table, and then praise the Han Emperor, there will be nothing to do. Not only will you be fine, but you will also be rewarded with many rewards.

It's just that the only regret is that such a big loss this time will inevitably affect his Bai Ying's prestige in the clan, but now he can't afford to think too much.

Just as Bai Ying thinks, the Han who regards himself as the Celestial Empire has always been magnanimous and subdued the people with virtue in the rebellion of all subject countries. As long as the rebels realize their mistakes, they will be safe and sound, and they will be properly cared for, which is the demeanor of a great power.

But that was all their luck in the past, they met the Han Emperor who wanted to save face and suffer the crime, and today Qiuzi, who had been walking at night for a long time, was very unlucky, and met Jiang Boxiao, who paid attention to an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, and vowed to kill Hu Lu.

In the eyes of Jiang Boxiao, a little kid, what the emperor called benevolence, generosity, and kindness to the Hu people was all shit, and it didn't mean anything at all. In the past hundreds of years, the Han has told them too much about benevolence and righteousness, and for the grassland tribes who only believe in the strong and worship hungry wolves, there is no truth in emphasizing benevolence and righteousness.

So this time, Guizi will definitely be punished like never before.

As the morning light first appeared, Guan Yu walked through the messy streets of its Qiancheng while beating horses, and said to Xin Bi, who was walking side by side: "It seems that sometimes the heads of your literati are more than 100,000 male soldiers!" No wonder the fourth brother values you so much. ”

"This is all due to General Guan." Xin Bi smiled and arched his hand, then took out a piece of brocade in his cuffs and said: "As the lord said, the strength of a dynasty must be guaranteed by strong force, if it is not for General Guan to eliminate the invading army in one fell swoop, this king of Qiuzi can send this surrender table!" ”

"Hahaha, this is very true, but now that the king of Guizi has come, I am afraid that it is a little inappropriate to kill again. But according to the deployment, my army will be stationed in Qiuzi, so it will be a little difficult to do, I don't know what the military division has to plan? ”

Xin Bi thought for a while and said: "As the general said, if we send troops at this moment, we will not be polite, since the king of Qiuzi sent a table, why don't you take it to the lord's place to ask the lord?" ”

As he spoke, Simbi looked at the empty streets again, and then said, "Our department can also take the opportunity to rest in the city for a few days, and we can also use these days to help the people resume production and rebuild the capital. Yesterday, I learned from the surviving soldiers of the Imperial Protectorate that most of the people in the city should still be scattered, and we can also take this opportunity to find the people, so as not to suffer unnecessary losses. ”

Guan Yu can be said to be the best to govern the army, but his eyes are black on this local affairs, listening to Xin Bi's idea, he feels that it is most appropriate now, and there is no reason to disagree, and he immediately said: "Then according to the military division, just now Yu has handed over the city defense to Jingzhi to guard, and now the government affairs in the city will be temporarily entrusted to you." ”

Xin Bi didn't shirk it, and simply took the order: "It is the duty of the general to assist the general, and the general can rest assured that although he was not in charge of the party before, he has learned a lot in the general's mansion these days, and there should be no big problem." ”

After Xin Bi agreed, Guan Yu continued: "Then it's hard for George, and now it's not safe in this city, Yu will let Zhou Cang select a team of personal soldiers and stay by George's side to help, if there is anything, you can directly order them to do it." ”

"If there is anything in the city, you can also directly ask Jingzhi to let him deal with it, although this turtle seems to have surrendered, but we can't be careless. At present, except for the Jingzhi Department who stayed in the city, the rest of the soldiers still took care of each other outside the city, and if there was anything that could not be decided, George would go out of the city to find Yu. ”

"Bi Province, the general has military affairs to be busy, so go to the capital to learn about the affairs in the city、、、、"
