Jiuquan victory, the four counties of Hexi of the Han Dynasty have completely lost the trace of the Huns, the proud record of annihilating thousands of enemies, the whole country is jubilant, even if the winter is coming, but still can not stop the excitement of the people, every household is still singing and dancing in the snowy season, celebrating that there is an exciting news that makes people live a happy New Year.

Unlike ordinary people, in addition to hastily celebrating the victory, the military camp in the Sili area immediately devoted itself to high-intensity training. Almost all of the training was carried out in the event of a lack of food and grass, or when the enemy had cavalry, and the harsh training in a sense hinted at the potential for a rather brutal battle. Victory dilutes the melancholy, and a man's competitive spirit does not allow himself to fall behind. Therefore, the soldiers trained harder. The immutable truth of 'sweating more in peacetime, shedding less blood in wartime' was repeatedly mentioned in the mouths of veterans, and the soldiers also took it as a creed, because they really couldn't find a reason not to believe in these soldiers who survived on the battlefield.

After hard training, they can always eat and sleep in a warm room, and it is definitely not a joke to say that they are now eating and living.

Sili's Han army is good to eat and live, but it is just a bitter defender in Shule, although there is no shortage of food at the moment, but in order to persist as much as possible, Gao Zhong had to order to reduce the daily rations and separate more shifts, so that everyone can reduce consumption in sleep, the whole Shule City, the most lacking, is firewood, then burn red firewood to sleep.

Shaoyuan looked at the porridge water in the bowl, and his optimistic nature made him still not forget to be happy in the bitterness, "Oh, this battle is like this, it is rare in the world"

Gao Pet drank porridge and asked, "What's the matter?" Not satisfied with the food?

Shaoyuan smiled and said, "Why am I not satisfied, this Shule day, eat when you wake up, practice a set of knife techniques in the city, you can fall asleep, wake up and eat, this life is so comfortable, yes, if you continue like this, I'm afraid that I will become a pig." ”

Gao Pet smiled, "Don't think about becoming a pig, according to what you said, it's easy to get fat, and the pig will be slaughtered as soon as it gets fat, what, do you want to be slaughtered?"

Shaoyuan shook his head, "No, no, this hurts the body, to be honest, this kind of life, I didn't have it when I was a child, don't forget that I'm from Xiliang, what kind of hardship is this." ”

"Lord Overseer is a northerner?" At this time, a soldier interjected and asked, anyway, it was rest time, and Gao Zhong didn't say anything, just watched from the sidelines.

Shaoyuan didn't have the burden of a soldier's superiors and subordinates, so he just said with a big grin, "Yes, the size grew up in Wuwei, so they are Huns, I am not afraid"

Xiao Bing was very surprised, "At first, we thought that the Lord of the Prison Army was a southerner, and we thought that the Lord was a famous family before he was fortunate to become a protégé of the Son of Heaven."

Shaoyuan waved his hand, "Where is it, I am a poor young man in a poor country, if you want me to see, my birth is not as good as yours, where do you come from?"

The little soldier immediately gave a military salute, "The small one is the fourth son of Cao Man, the captain of the northern part of Luoyang, Cao Zhang"

At this time, Gao Chong answered, because Shaoyuan definitely didn't know who Cao Man was, and only Gao Chong came forward to resolve the embarrassment, Gao Chong praised, "Lord Cao enforces the law impartially, he is a famous Qing official, you came to join the army, do you mean it or Lord Cao?"

Cao Zhang said, "It's the villain's own meaning, Jia Yan often says that I have a body of martial arts but can't think about the problem, the villain is not satisfied and goes to join the army, I wanted to apply for the eighth school, but I was screened out, the little one really doesn't want to go home and be looked down by my father, so I joined Long Xiangwei!

Gao Pet also laughed happily when he heard this, and Shao Yuan suddenly realized when he saw it, "This sentence, the Eight Achievements are what you said, did everyone here listen to your words?"

Gao Zhong nodded, "That's, this sentence is not a joke, what is the difference between being the strongest soldier and the dead fish on the edge of Yunmengze? Pulling eight hundred people alone, it is not necessarily that the eighth school can win us, and the title of Long Xiang is not called in vain!"

Shaoyuan also smiled and patted Cao Zhang's shoulder, "Boy, go back alive and tell your father, you are also a person who has endured hardships and fought the Huns, tell your father, Long Xiang guards here, the Huns have no choice, and you also have a role!"

Cao Zhang excitedly gave a military salute: "Yes, the little one must go back alive! Tell my father!"

In the middle of winter, it was not only the Han army that was affected, but the Hun army was also deeply affected by the wind and snow.

In the imperial city of Peishan City, Ke Moore faced those soldiers who escaped death from Jiuquan, and originally wanted to scold the right captain, but was said by King Zuoxian, "They have done their best, the responsibility for changing the plan lies with me, if the Great Khan wants to punish him, please punish me." blocked, fortunately it was a private chat, otherwise Moore would really be angry, but King Zuo Xian also told him that they really need to preserve their strength at the moment, since they have all been defeated, scold it, and comfort those who survived, and now it is necessary to preserve its strength, and wait for the Han army to attack in the coming year. So Moore listened, and didn't punish them too much, but just let them rest.

On the square, Kemoore asked Zali, "Zali, how is the offensive in southern Xinjiang?"

Zali shook his head, "I still haven't touched the Jincheng area, and sure enough, no matter how much time I grab, the time that has been delayed by Shule still can't catch up, mainly because of the wind and snow, this year's university seems to have come very early."

But Moore frowned, "That is, this year's winter will be particularly long, and all the ministries have already settled in the nearby cities?"

Zali nodded, "Thanks to the power of the Great Khan, this time we Huns finally don't have to endure the bitterness of winter in the wilderness."

But Moore waved his hand, "It's just this winter, to change the situation of our Huns, we must repel the Han army, the Han army has been famous in the Western Regions for a long time, the fate of my Huns, it depends on this time, have you thought of a way to deal with the Han people?"

Zali arched his hand and said, "The subordinates are incompetent, they haven't thought of appropriate countermeasures, this time the right cavalry has suffered heavy losses, which will affect a little bit of troop deployment and planning and arrangement, and the subordinates are to blame for being too slow to react."

But Moore rolled his eyes, "You are still talking about this, don't mention this, will the Han people invite some generals to come out this time?" I could be so abrasive before, but I didn't expect to be so resolute all of a sudden, I'm afraid it's not simple behind it."

Zali nodded, "If the guess is good, it is estimated that this time, Gao Zheng will be invited out."

But Moore thought for a moment, "The father of the little ghost Shule?"

Zali nodded, "It's this person, the first general of the Han Dynasty."

But Moore breathed a sigh of relief, "Even if it is the first general of the Han Dynasty, it depends on the opponent, this time, we will meet this Gao Zheng!"
