Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 565
The sky gradually dimmed. In this October, it finally brought a warm sun to the north, and finally slowly fell into the west mountain.The battle between the Han Dynasty and the Iron Qiang League also came to an end slowly at this time.

This battle, from the third watch until the evening of the second day, everyone was exhausted.Even if the man still has strength, the horses can't run anymore. As a result, the tragic battlefield quickly calmed down as if the two armies had a tacit understanding.Before it was completely dark, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty who had won a major victory checked their trophies.

Strangely, at this moment, they, who were so exhausted even walking, could still make the unique hearty voices of Guanzhong people come and go.They talked and laughed, slaughtered all the wounded horses on the battlefield, and gathered together the intact ones.With a Qianghu army of 10 people, such a harvest cannot be completed within three or four days.Not to mention horses, cattle and sheep, which are extremely precious trophies for the Han people, cannot be wasted in the slightest.And the big bags of Qianghu milk wine also made their eyes shine.

At this time, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty looked no different from the farmers in the harvest season. They walked on the messy battlefield, fiddled with the corpses of the Qianghu army on the ground indifferently, and quickly slashed the gasping ones, telling them to kill them as soon as possible. Get real peace.

The Han soldiers who cleaned the battlefield looked relaxed and freehand, as if they were harvesting crops.

Finally, those Xiongnu soldiers who joined the battle later also rushed back. However, unlike the booty brought back by the Han soldiers, they also brought back thousands of Tieqiang League prisoners.Liu Bao looked very tired, but his spirit was very uplifted. Before he saw Zhang Xi, he shouted loudly: "General Zhang, this time we brought back a lot more than you..."

But Zhang Yun's stern face was not joyful, but at this moment, Ma Chao, who was standing shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Yun, uttered a sentence: "There is a reason why we didn't bring back the prisoners of the Iron Qiang League." After saying this, Ma Chao slightly Waving his hands, Liu Bao followed their hands and saw the scene of the prisoners of the Iron Qiang League being slaughtered behind them.

Ma Chao's indifferent voice and the scene in front of him made the young Xiongnu Shanyu startled: "Didn't the Han Dynasty always treat prisoners preferentially?"

"At this time, at that time." Zhang He uttered these words slightly, without explaining in detail.Only after sniffing the strong smell of blood in the air, he said again as if bored: "It seems that we have to work harder tonight and camp in another place."

Liu Bao didn't hear the latter sentence, which was the same as a complaint. He just suddenly felt that the Han army he was facing this time was very different from the past.It's like... It's like the Han army suddenly changed their souls this time.

"Yes, is it only for the Qianghu traitors this time that no prisoners will be kept, or will the Han Dynasty no longer need prisoners?" Liu Bao was startled, and blurted out the question that he shouldn't have asked.

Zhang Yun looked up at Liu Bao with great interest, but then regained his composure, as if he hadn't heard Liu Bao's question, and said something completely irrelevant: "It's all thanks to Shanyu's help. I will definitely report this matter to Your Majesty. Presumably His Majesty will be delighted when he hears about this great victory."

Zhang He's evasion and refusal to answer made Liu Bao even more disturbed. He couldn't help but want to ask another question to get a definite answer.But at this moment, he felt his robe being gently tugged a few times, and when he turned his head, he saw his Youxian King Qubei, warning Liu Bao with a pair of secretive eyes.

Perhaps, the young Qu Bei didn't understand the intention behind this change, but Qu Bei, who was used to seeing the wind and rain, vaguely understood the change of course in the Han Dynasty: since ancient times, people at the pinnacle of power are most familiar with power, and they also know the difference between movement and movement. What kind of subtlety will it have on power?

The Han dynasty now ruled by the emperor of Han is no longer the puppet regime that was wantonly abused by Dong Zhuo three years ago.Under the repeated efforts of the Han emperor to turn the tide, although the Han dynasty at this time is still some distance away from the unification of the world, if the entire Han power is placed among the large and small forces, it is definitely a power that cannot be underestimated.

After reaching such a point, the Han Dynasty no longer needs to show its benevolence by preferential treatment of prisoners, so as to achieve its goal of strengthening itself.When the power reaches such a point, it needs to show its fangs, so that those restless forces can see its strength and feel the fear it brings.

After all, although people don't admit it, in fact blind tolerance is tantamount to connivance.And the combination of grace and power will make people not have redundant thoughts, and it will also make people who hear the name of the Han Dynasty feel trembling.

Not to mention, this time the Han Dynasty deliberately showed toughness in front of the Huns, which has a lot to do with Liu Bao's repeated letters and bluntly ordering the Han Dynasty to send troops to recover their old places.In particular, the last time he wrote the letter, Liu Bao's tone was vaguely rude, and he clearly stated that he would only help the Han Dynasty for the last time...

Of course, Qu Bei would not tell Liu Bao these words at the celebration banquet, but he would explain them clearly and clearly to Liu Bao after this banquet.At the same time, he also felt that the attitude of his Xiongnu tribe towards the Han Dynasty also needed to change.Anyway, the strength of the Han Dynasty is obvious to all, and since my Hun tribe is begging the Han Dynasty, it cannot be foolishly aggressive.

Thinking of this, Qu Bei suddenly felt that the fine wine in front of him suddenly became bitter, and he also deeply felt the wisdom and exquisite control of the human heart of that young man in Chang'an Palace.So, under the expressions of Zhang He, Ma Chao and others, he could only hold up the wine bottle and shouted to all the Han officials in the big tent: "May your majesty be favored by the Kunlun God, live forever, and restore the glory of the Han Dynasty as soon as possible!" !"

"Long live Your Majesty!" Qubei's proposal was naturally catered to by everyone in Hanchen.Even Ma Chao, who did not avenge his father, finally showed a rare and dazzling smile after three months.

Although Han Sui escaped this time, he knew that the opportunity for revenge was just to wait for the delay of the opportunity.What's more, the emperor of the Han Dynasty had personally promised that he would definitely kill that old dog Han Sui!

This bottle of wine, Ma Chao drank heartily, and his handsome face became joyful under this bottle of fine wine.Added an indescribable beauty to this joyful big tent.But just as Ma Chao put down the wine bottle, Qubei's words rang out again: "General Ma, it's better to drink less tonight. Firstly, the old wounds have not healed. Secondly, although the Korean bandits are defeated this time, we still need to work together to catch up." They were completely wiped out. When it comes to cavalry skills, if you look at everyone here, only General Ma is an incomparable man!"

Qu Bei's words were subtle and flattering, but Ma Chao was by no means a tough and scheming person in history. He immediately understood that what Qu Bei actually wanted to know was the Han Dynasty's next plan to deal with Han Sui.

Before switching to these plans, Ma Chao thought it would be okay to tell Qubei.But right now, he feels that being mysterious is actually a very good quality, which will make people feel an incomprehensible awe of you.So, Ma Chao filled his wine bottle again, held up Xiang Qubei and said, "I won't talk about military affairs tonight, we'll get together in a tent, and just want to get drunk!"

Ma Chao's hearty laughter gave him an involuntary obedience charm, but after drinking this bottle of wine, Qu Beicai was very depressed: Why do people in the Han Dynasty start to look like foxes?Han Sui was only defeated, but not all of them were wiped out... What kind of medicine are these people selling in the gourd?

"If we still want to suppress thieves this time, I will be the vanguard!"

Shan Yu Liu Bao is young after all, young and simple, he just wants to know clearly his future direction.However, he was not stupid. During the banquet, he had been thinking hard about the intention of the Han army to suddenly not keep any prisoners. After a little understanding, he resolutely threw out such a bait for the revival of the Huns.

Anyway, at present, it seems that Han Sui has almost no power to fight back. Even if he hurts some Xiongnu warriors, if he can get some gratitude from the Han Dynasty, then the price is completely worth it.

But what Liu Bao never expected was that when he resolutely threw out such an olive branch, the Han army coach Zhang Yun, who was in the top position, showed a playful smile.Immediately, that smile turned into a hearty laugh, and he said with a smile: "Since Shan Yu has such a heart, I am very grateful. However, tonight is the time for me to cleanse my past shame, so don't let me get rid of it." These military trifles have spoiled your interest. Come, please fill this bottle with Shan Yu!"

Holding the wine bottle, Liu Bao suddenly became angry.But then thinking that there was nothing he could do, his anger gradually turned into a trace of grievance: If you don't want to bully me like this, if you have anything to say, you can just say it well?
