Chapter 318 Executing Orders in Various Places (4.1K)

"Zhao Ponu."

"The end is here."

"Let's make preparations. We will set off tomorrow and return to the sea."

"The last general takes orders!"

Huo Shan smiled:

"There is no rush to destroy Kucha. Let's go to the sea to take down the Xiongnu first."

Then he looked at Tian Qianqiu:

"Tell this news to our envoys and spread it throughout the Western Regions. Since they came to the Western Regions, they haven't played much role. I hope they can handle this matter well.

Then send an order to my uncle, so that he doesn't have to stay, just pass the news to the southern countries, let them send troops and horses, bring food and grass to Gumo, I think they will make the right choice. "

"The minister takes orders!"

Huo Shan looked at Xiao Lizi again:

"Send an order to Zhao Chongguo, asking him to order King Youguli to take the remaining soldiers and horses to the sea.

Then send an order to Zhao Chongguo and Li Ling, let them carry soldiers and horses, guard the soldiers and horses of the Huns and the prisoners, and go to the sea together.

Send an order to Cao Zong, let him lead [-] soldiers and horses under his command, leave enough food and grass, and hand over the rest to the two armies, and then lead the Huns' logistics troops back to Yiwu.

By the way, ask Zhao Chongguo to exchange for me the four thousand Huangzhong under his command, and bring them together. "

After Huo Shan finished speaking, he looked ahead and murmured:
"The next step is to let the entire Western Regions see the strength of my big man, and let them know that it is not so easy to be a fool."

Originally, Huo Shan didn't have any idea about those sloppy things. He knew that this was the normal state in the Western Regions.

But now, after King Youguli of the Huns surrendered him, he had over 20 troops under his command, which only destroyed one Dawan, and he felt that the movement was a bit too small.

As for Qiuci, he originally wanted to see their attitude to choose the means to deal with them, but now, he is not going to stay anymore.

He is going to plant deep fear in the hearts of the countries in the Western Regions, let them know the existence of the big man, and let them know that there is a giant dragon roaring in the east.

.........

After Huo Shan gave the order, Xiao Hei, who had not been back for a long time, set off again. He first came to Cao Zong's place.

Cao Zong was in the same mood as Zhao Puonu and others after seeing the information and the order given to him, but he calmed down quickly.

After watching Xiao Hei leave, he directly ordered loudly:
"Beat the drums, gather the generals!"

The deafening drumbeat reminded me that, except for the defense soldiers, the soldiers who had just fallen asleep immediately woke up, put on their clothes and took knives, stepped out of the tent, stepped on their horses and began to assemble.

These actions after hearing the drums have been deeply engraved in their minds, so they can be so fast.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all [-] soldiers and horses were assembled, and Cao Zong stood in front and immediately ordered:
"The generals obey orders."

"The end is here."

"The four schools stay here to garrison, and the other three schools act immediately, and they will attack with this school."

"The last general takes orders."

Then Cao Zong said to Jiang Chong:

"Here I leave it to you."

"Don't worry, General."

Cao Zong nodded, then turned his horse's head, and headed west. The whistle of the three school troops was loud, and they followed Cao Zong to the west under the leadership of the school lieutenant.

.........

To the east and to the north, in the first and second camps of the town.

After getting the order, Zhao Chongguo rushed out of the tent and shouted:
"Shangguan Jie."

"exist."

There was a reply from the tent next door, and after a drowsy sleep, the shirtless Shangguan Jie ran out.

Zhao Chongguo threw over an imperial edict:
"Immediately take the first and second schools of your troops to King Youguli's camp, order King Youguli to lead the soldiers and horses under his command, and escort the captives to march south immediately.

He also asked him to summon his soldiers and horses. Seeing that my big Han soldiers and horses gave up resistance and gathered in Dongqie Midu City, you stayed in the Xiongnu army to supervise, and I will lead the soldiers and horses there after dawn. "

"The last general takes orders!"

Afterwards, Shangguan Jie walked to his camp, and asked the guards as he walked:
"Have you heard all?"

"Go back to the general, I heard everything."

Shangguan Jie turned his head and glared at him:
"Then why don't you rush to pass the order, what if you miss the hour?"

Then I went straight into the tent, the guard looked at the swaying door curtain and curled his lips, getting up and venting his anger on me, really.

But he still bowed to the tent:
"promise."

Then he got on his horse and left.

A quarter of an hour later, the soldiers and horses from the Second Department of the Township and the two schools galloped out, heading northeast.

The road was dark at night, so I walked slowly, and Shangguan Jie felt that it would not delay at all, so Shangguan Jie led his troops to the Huns camp at dawn.

After arriving at the gate of the camp, Shangguan Jie did not go in, but waved his hands. A soldier cupped his hands and came a hundred paces away from the gate of the camp, shouting loudly:

"The champion Hou Youling has arrived, let your king go out to receive the order."

Shangguan Jie couldn't help showing a smile, he was quite clever, knowing that the champion Hou was more deterrent to the Xiongnu than the governor.

The Xiongnu soldiers at the gate of the camp rushed to the camp immediately, and King Youguli got the news after a while.

His first reaction was joy, because he got a reply from Champion Hou, which meant that the matter of surrender was probably done.

Then he got a little tangled, he didn't want to go out, this time there were a lot of soldiers and horses, and there must be a strong crossbow with a range of two hundred steps inside.

Moreover, he must not bring too many soldiers and horses when he receives the order, and he has to go closer.

At this time, General Qin Wei who heard the news came over and asked:
"My lord, shall we go?"

King Youguli glared at him angrily, then gritted his teeth:
"Naturally, we have to go, we have no way out, now what the champion says, we must do."

He had no choice but to go even if he was afraid of death, and he felt that Champion Hou would not be able to do such a thing if he took advantage of this opportunity to get rid of him.

After a while, King Youguli came before Shangguan Jie with his personal guard and a battalion of soldiers.

Then he got off his horse, half-kneeled on the ground, and shouted loudly:

"The commander will take orders!"

At this moment, Shangguan Jie was very happy and satisfied, but he still controlled the horse to get out of King Youguli's salute, and then got off the horse and saluted.

"My family's chief governor has not been surrendered to you, that is to say, you are still the King Youguli of the Huns."

King Youguli breathed a sigh of relief, he has not yet accepted the surrender, which means that this matter is basically settled.

So King Youguli stood up and asked:

"Dare to ask the general, what order does the champion have to convey?"

Shangguan Jie took out the edict and said:
"I'll read it to you."

King Youguli wanted to say that I can read Chinese characters, but he still raised his hand:

"General Lao is here."

"My Commander-in-Chief means to let you gather your own soldiers and horses, go to the sea under the protection of our army, and accept the surrender at the sea.

As for the logistics personnel, after leaving enough food and grass in their hands, the rest will be left behind. As for the personnel and horses, our army will bring them back to Yiwu and let them graze horses, cattle and sheep. "

After Shangguan Jie finished speaking carelessly, he handed the decree to King Youguli, saying it was a decree, but it was actually an imperial edict.

King Youguli has not yet surrendered, so the champion's decree cannot order him, but the imperial edict can.

Because this is the edict of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the Xiongnu is now a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, so this process still has to go through.

King Youguli took it and glanced at it, and was speechless in his heart. In his opinion, this edict was brilliant, but when it came to Shangguan Jie's mouth, it changed its appearance.

This inevitably made him despise Shangguan Jie a little, in his opinion Shangguan Jie is a proper warrior.

But what he didn't know was that Shangguan Jie was a clever warrior, and under special circumstances, he also had a bit of great wisdom.

"The little king receives the imperial edict."

.........

And when Shangguan Jie went to the Huns camp, Li Ling also got his own order.

At this time, it happened to be the end of a big battle on his side, most of the soldiers were resting, while a small number of soldiers were monitoring the whereabouts of the deserters.

In other words, it is to control their whereabouts and prevent them from going to the Huns camp in the northeast.

After receiving this order, Li Ling lay on the grass and smiled.

In this battle, before his order came, just as the battle was over, he beheaded [-] Hun soldiers and captured [-] soldiers. It was basically nothing to worry about when he ran.

He couldn't help being unhappy with such a big victory!
Adding all his victories together, there is basically no problem in conferring two or three thousand households as a marquis. Of course, this is also the reason why he is under Huo Shan's command.

After Li Ling slowed down, he looked at Xiao Hei who was a little tired in the world, and hurriedly shouted:

"Bring water."

The personal guard immediately came over with the water bag.

"Get my lunch box over here."

Another personal guard came over with his lunch box.

Li Ling took the two things, then poured some water from the water bag into the lunch box, took a big sip, and put the rest in front of Xiao Hei.

Seeing this, Xiao Hei hesitated for a while, but finally decided to give Li Ling a face, so he jumped over and took a couple of sips, then washed his feathers.

In terms of food, except for the food given by Huo Shan, Xiao Lizi, and Sun Shang, he didn't eat it. By the way, there was also Liu Che.

As for the water, some close people around Huo Shan, some people that Xiao Hei often sees, after seeing him drink it, Xiao Hei will also drink some, and there are ice and so on.

This little thing is very vigilant.

"Send orders to the various ministries to let the soldiers rest well and feed the horses well, and tell them that King Youguli of the Huns has surrendered, and we are going to find the governor."

The guard looked overjoyed:
"Is it true what the general said?"

Li Ling glanced at him and said angrily:

"Are you the personal guard of my Li family or the personal guard sent by the governor?"

The guard scratched his head, then smiled foolishly:
"Don't blame the general. It's really too risky for the general to fight. I think it's better for us to stay with the governor, and the governor really has nothing to say to the soldiers."

Li Ling glanced at him again:
"Okay, okay, get out!"

Li Ling knows himself well, and he wants to be stable, and he can be very stable. Of course, compared to people like Zhao Chongguo and Lu Bode, he is still far behind.

But people like Zhao Puonu and Shangguan Jie are casual.

But to fight against the defeated Huns, you can't be too steady. What you need is speed. It is most appropriate to inflict heavy damage on them, and then start a series of blows.

The soldiers don't understand these things, if he is in a good mood, he might say something, but he is really not in the mood after a hard day today.

A little tired, but he estimated that there will be no war for at least half a month in the next period of time.

After this series of battles, the soldiers were already very tired, the horses were even more tired than the soldiers, and quite a few died running away.

It's time to take a good rest to deal with the next big battle.

But for a short period of time, it is estimated that they will be spent on the road.

Still the same sentence, after a series of battles, rushing on the road is a rest for the soldiers.

And this battle, for Li Ling, was really simple, it can be said to be easy, and there were not many casualties, and an excessive result was achieved.

Li Ling believed that not only him, everyone probably felt this way.

But this battle was simple, but he learned a lot.

Let him know that sometimes it is not possible to stick to one place, let him know how important it is for a war to have a well-disciplined army and a strong army.

It also let him know the power of the equipment.

He has seen this point a long time ago. After all, he watched Yu Linhu get up, and he knew exactly how important the equipment was.

But this time, he saw a lot of problems that he hadn't seen before.

For example, the three treasures of cavalry are used on large-scale soldiers and horses, how powerful is the bonus to combat power.

They are also Huns, and these soldiers and horses under their command basically suppress the Huns soldiers and horses.

Although he had problems with military discipline, he did not ignore the equipment.

His greatest wish now is that in the future he can lead an army of [-] soldiers like Habayashi to the battlefield, how powerful that would be!

With such a [-]-man army, he dared to touch the [-] cavalry of the Huns, and he still had the confidence to win.

.........

Three days later, the city of Midu was in the east.

At this moment, the surrounding area of ​​Dongqiemi can be said to be crowded with people, all the soldiers and horses of the Huns and the ministries have gathered here.

The number of people alone is almost 20, not to mention cattle, sheep and horses.

Huo Shan issued several more orders, and Zhao Chongguo and the others planned to stay for two days to carry out Huo Shan's orders.

For example, if it was an order to disarm, except for [-] troops directly under King Youguli's command, the rest of the soldiers and horses all kept their weapons.

But the good thing is that there are enough horses, otherwise it would be a big trouble to transport these weapons.

As for the armor, there was not a single pair of armor left in the Xiongnu army, except for a few pairs of armor of King Youguli.

There are not many armors, King Youguli's subordinates are directly under the command, and some of the leaders of the tribes personally lead the soldiers and horses, and the rest basically have none.

It has to be said that King Youguli's tribe is really rich. His tribe has [-] soldiers and horses, everyone has armor, and even has [-] iron armor. The rest are leather armor and cloth armor, although they are broken. Some, but all.

After staying here for two days, these soldiers and horses set off again, marching in two routes, and all the generals went to the sea without staying.

The logistics personnel of the Xiongnu, Jiang Chong led [-] soldiers and horses, and King Youguli's personal guards led [-] soldiers and horses, guarding them to Yiwu.

After arriving at Yiwu, he and Wang Wei will look at Yiwu, and Lu Bode will have a new mission.

Lu Bode will lead [-] cavalry and [-] cavalry from the personal guard general to the Huns, and the news spread quickly.

At the very least, the families of these newly surrendered soldiers should not be lost.
