Memoirs of the Heavenly Khan

Chapter 78 Everything I have is earned through hard work

Wuyuan.

After a great battle, Hulu Jin got up from the ground and looked at the dead soldiers and horses on the battlefield around him, feeling very sad.

The rebels in the Six Garrisons were almost going crazy. After losing Wuchuan and Huaishuo successively, they wanted to regain the lost territory and attacked Wuyuan.

If it were not for Yu Jin's skillful use of troops, setting an ambush and defeating them, forcing them to retreat temporarily, I am afraid Hulu Jin would have died here.

Yu Jin, the winner, didn't look very happy at all.

He brought a dozen cavalrymen with him and finally found Hulu Jin on the battlefield.

"My king, the city is destroyed, the tribes are scattered, Wuyuan is no longer defensible, it is best to leave immediately!"

The reason why the Six Garrison Army went crazy was because of food shortage.

The fields around Woye Town could not meet the needs of the Six Towns rebels at all.

He wanted to rob everywhere, but there were nomadic tribes everywhere.

If they can't beat you, can't they just run away?

When the Six Garrisons Army wanted to enter Shuozhou again, they came under fierce attack from Wuyuan, which was on duty on the road.

After this battle, Hulu Jin felt quite depressed.

"What's the point of calling me the Great King? That was given to me by the rebels. I'm just a commoner now."

"Captain Hulu, why do you have to do this? General Dangkou is heading south now. We can meet up with him and then make other plans."

The bandit-suppressing general?

Hulu Jin heard that he had defeated the Rouran, but he didn't know how he won?

Thinking of the young man whom he had only met twice, Hulu Jin felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy in his heart.

"go!"

Go north from Wuyuan and pass through the mountain passage of Yinshan Mountain to reach Huaishuo.

Hulu Jin and Yu Jin led the remaining troops and headed north for refuge, but they saw large tents stretching across the northern foothills of the Yin Mountains.

If he had not known it in advance, Hulu Jin would have thought that the Rouran Khan Yujiulü Anagui had set up his royal court here.

Hulu Jin approached and saw many familiar people inside and outside the tent. They were all Hu people from Hengzhou.

A cavalry unit galloped out from the camp. Hulu Jin was well versed in military tactics and could feel that the momentum of this cavalry unit was very different.

There are certain things that are engraved in the bones of the army that ordinary ragtag troops cannot possess.

For example, dignity, honor, and a sense of pride and discipline.

All members of this cavalry had their hair tied up, but many of them were obviously not Han Chinese.

Regardless of whether they are Hu or Han, they are as one.

At this moment, Hulu Jin was almost certain that Li Shuang had led his army north and achieved a great victory.

He sealed the Wolf's Lair and engraved the stone at Yanran.

Only by experiencing the harsh and bitter cold of the northern frontier and fighting against the powerful overlords on the grassland can a strong and invincible cavalry be trained.

Although this cavalry is not as good as the previous ones, it has already achieved 70% of their noble character.

Li Shuang saw Hulu Jin in the team and shouted loudly.

"Huo Lujin, follow me!"

On this sunny day, Li Shuang, wearing a fur coat and riding a handsome horse, galloped across the grasslands, surrounded by brave men who were willing to die for him, and he was full of vigor and enthusiasm. However, Hulu Jin had just experienced a great battle, suffered heavy losses, and was in a state of disgrace when he returned to Beitou.

The boy's cry seemed to have magic, attracting Hulu Jin.

He tightened the reins, with a vague premonition in his heart that if he followed this time, he might never be able to stop in his lifetime.

Hulu Jin did not hesitate for a moment. The horse under him was thin, but still strong. It galloped out and joined the main force.

The river sparkled in the distance and the cold wind blew past, but it could not conceal the passion and fighting spirit that was awakened in Hulujin's heart.

Maybe it was because it felt so good to be able to follow the boy.

"General, where are we going?"

"The sky is falling!"

"Are the Rouran attacking?"

"It's worse than that!"

Worse than that?
Hulu Jin really couldn't imagine that anything could be more serious than this. The army of the Six Garrisons would not arrive here so quickly!

Li Shuang said:
"I was robbed!"

"..."
-
In the big tent, looking at the several leaders of the Tiele tribe who were captured, Li Shuang surprisingly did not take action immediately, but instead started to reason with them.

"Do you know that robbery is wrong?"

The Tiele leaders shook their heads. "I don't know!"

"Then there is still hope!"

Li Shuang clapped his hands and ordered his men to untie the ropes on the Tiele leaders.

"I heard that you are all leaders of the Tiele tribe around Wuchuan. Why are you coming from the north?"

"We heard that the Rouran Khan was defeated by you, so we wanted to go north to rob him, but he fled too quickly, and we didn't get anything. We saw your Rouran slaves herding 10,000 to 20,000 cattle and sheep, so we decided to take action to make up for our losses."

Li Shuang said with a pleasant face:

"That's where you're wrong. Although I have some cattle, sheep, and Rouran slaves, these were all earned through my hard work and sweat. Do you understand?"

Everyone nodded.

"As long as you know!"

At this time, more than a dozen armored soldiers rushed into the tent.

"They understood. Tie them to the flagpole and hang them for two days."

Everyone was very anxious.

“We don’t understand, we don’t understand!”

"I don't understand, hang for five days!"

"General, spare your life!"

Seeing the Tiele leaders kneeling down and begging for mercy, Li Shuang waved his hand.

"Well, I will show you a clear path."

"Please give me advice, General."

"Go and surrender to Po Liu Han Baling!"

The Tiele leaders were puzzled and asked:

"General, which side are you on?"

"I heard that Po Liu Han Baling died in a few days."

……

"You don't understand this!" Li Shuang stood up and said slowly, "It's precisely because there are only a few days left that you can't miss such a good opportunity!"

"What do you mean, general?"

"If you jump around in a few days, you will surrender. After surrendering, you will become the government army. Will the court ignore you then?"

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, but then they heard Li Shuang say:

"not understand?"

"understand!"

"Let's go then!"

After waiting for everyone to leave, Yu Jin, who had been silent all the time, came up.

"General, how much loot did you manage to rob... no, seize this time?"

"Why did you ask so?"

"When I report to the court, I'll have a clear idea of ​​what's going on!"

“Why report it?”

Yu Jin was stunned.

"Resisting the Rouran invasion is the responsibility of every citizen of the Great Wei. Reporting any achievements to the court is necessary. Is this good? This is not good!"

Yu Jin understood that Li Shuang must have robbed Anagui of everything except his underwear.

"But with so many things going south, it's going to be hard to hide from others, right?"

Li Shuang chuckled.

"That's why I asked Hou Jing to go to Wuchuan first."

"doing what?"
-
Wuchuan.

"Don't worry, don't worry, everyone has one!"

Hou Jing stood on the street in Wuchuan and shouted.

"Younger ones in the family can take one sheep, older ones can take two. If you're willing to join the bandit-suppressing general's team, you can also take a young Rouran maid or two Rouran slaves!"

In the sunshine and on the streets, every Wuchuan citizen felt warmth and happiness.
