Wulin Chinese Network ., the fastest update of the latest chapter of Canglang Wind Song!
The Han army defeated Pei Shan in a battle, which greatly boosted the morale of the Han army, but the captives of the Xiongnu army were mourning all over the field, and they used strange words to make strange words together, sounding as if they were complaining and cursing. The Han army gathered the escaped Huns, and more than 6,000 captured soldiers gathered here. Along with them, of course, there are also those Xiongnu nobles who have not had time to escape and have become prisoners.
They don't have the arrogance they once had at all, they just want to live at this moment, but Gao Zheng doesn't have time to deal with them for the time being. Because Gao Zheng found that this situation was wrong, even if the combat effectiveness of the Xiongnu and the Han army was so different, the Xiongnu would not be so overwhelming, these Xiongnu soldiers would not have a little knowledge of defending the city at all, and in the face of those siege weapons, they did not do anything beneficial to defending the city except for their own chaos. These Hun soldiers, like abandoned children, exist as a delay in time.
Therefore, Gao Zheng asked to prove this matter, it is not difficult to verify, grain, see how much grain and baggage there are left, and you can generally know whether the Hun army has the idea of defending here.
Worryingly, there was very little grain left, and although a large number of nobles were captured, their Great Khan fled. Facing Pei Shan, who is almost as ruin. Gao Zheng fell into deep thought, thinking, but was disturbed by two soldiers.
"General, we found the king and wife of Pei Shan Kingdom, and when the city was broken, thanks to the two of us once again encouraging the people in the city for us, we were able to pass through Pei Shan City so smoothly."
Gao Zheng nodded, "Quickly bring the king and his wife to the big tent to serve well, and General Ben will go over immediately." What about you, what do you have to say?"
Soldier B arched his hand, "General, this person seems to be a Hun nobleman, he has been holding the feet of his subordinates, saying in extremely broken Chinese that he has a military situation, and asks his subordinates to bring him to see the general"
Gao Zheng was puzzled: "He is the only one who pleads with you, and you will bring him here?"
B Bing shook his head, "No, general, at the beginning, all of their dozen nobles were indignant, and said that in the end, they sent him as a representative, after all, they are nobles, maybe they really have any information?"
Gao Zheng frowned, "Okay, you find a comrade who can speak Xiongnu, and I'll ask this Hun if there is anything he wants to say now."
Soldier B pulled the Hun nobleman with his hands tied, and the Hun saw Gao Zheng kneeling and knocking, Gao Zheng felt that there was no murderous aura on this person, so he relieved his heart, "You don't have to be like this, you wait a while"
After a while, a translator came over and bowed, "General, what are you looking for your subordinates?"
Gao Zheng pointed to the Xiongnu nobleman, "He has a military situation to tell him, this general doesn't want to listen to his broken Chinese, you translate for him, so that I can know what he says"
The interpreter nodded, so he chattered a lot at the Huns, and the Huns looked at Gao Zheng, of course Gao Zheng didn't know why, so at this time, he just needed to nod his head.
Then the Hun man began to babble, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes gnashing his teeth, and, in general, to finish what he wanted to say.
The interpreter pinched a handful of sweat, and then signaled the Huns to be quiet, there was no need to be so anxious. He'll get it on. Then the interpreter turned to Gao Zheng and said, "General, he said that Ke Moore has betrayed them, and I don't know when he has left here, in addition to him, there are also the Zuo Xian King and the Right Xian King of the Huns. Among them, the king of Zuo Xian, had left more than ten days ago and did not know where to go, and in the past ten days, no supplies have been brought from other places, and now the soldiers here are all from him and other nobles, and the direct troops of those three people, especially the royal court guards, are not there."
Gao Zheng frowned, "This is very suspicious, you take them down first, I'll go see the royal couple first"
In the big tent, the king and queen drank hot porridge, and the two who had not eaten hot food for an unknown amount of time received food from the Han army, but they still maintained the demeanor of the king of a country.
Gao Zheng entered the big tent and arched his hand, "Your Majesty the King, Your Majesty the Queen, this general is the Great Sima of the Han Dynasty, Gao Zheng"
When the king and queen heard this, they immediately stood up and made a Han etiquette: "I have long admired the general's name, and it is an honor to see it today"
Gao Zheng returned the salute and motioned for everyone to sit down, "Your Majesty has contributed a lot to the city this time, and this general will keep it in mind"
The king shook his head and said, "This is the king's country, and now it is really heart-wrenching, and it is only because the king is not strong enough to defend the people."
The queen asked, "General, how is my child in Luoyang?"
Gao Zheng shook his head, "There is no need to mention the past, after returning to the queen, the prince is doing well in Luoyang, and he will have no worries if he has someone to take care of and protect him." Your Majesty, General Ben has the courage to ask if there is a secret passage in the palace of Pei Shan that can lead directly to the outside of the city?"
The king nodded, "Yes, it was done ten years ago, isn't it?"
Gao Zheng nodded, "Yes, that shameless Ke Moore escaped from the secret passage, but this time he couldn't catch this culprit in the city."
The king said solemnly, "General Gao, among the Huns, Zuoxian Wang Zhali is the most cunning, these days Zhali is not in Peishan King City, there must be some conspiracy, I have to guard against it!"
Gao Zheng said solemnly, "I have just learned about this matter, I feel that this Pei Shan City is actually an abandoned son of the Huns, but this time he basically put all the nobles into it, and the gambling capital is big enough, I am afraid that they have withdrawn the real elite to other places, in the opinion of Your Majesty, where will they retreat?"
The king said, "The number one in the Western Regions Jiancheng row, except for Pei Shan, is the Blue Building, but I don't know if there will be Xiongnu ambushes in other places."
Gao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Dare to ask, when was the last time you two saw a dog pet?"
The king glanced at the queen, and the queen said with a look of indebtedness, "The last time the concubine saw me in the early winter of last year, I sent grain and grass to the general, and advised the general to return early, but the general categorically refused to ......"
Gao Zheng's pupils contracted, his voice trembled a little, and he seemed to ask the question very reluctantly, "When will the grain and grass be supported at that time?"
The queen's face was gloomy, "If you save money, you should be able to survive the winter, but it's already early summer, I'm afraid of ......"
The teacup in Gao Zheng's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and the first time Gao Zheng felt powerless, it was as a father who heard the news of his child's death and the loss and powerlessness.
