Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 436
Liang Xiao was as annoyed as Li Guang.In his opinion, instead of saying that the Son of Heaven is suppressing Li Guang, it is better to say that he is suppressing Liang Xiao.He was Li Guang's general, even if he wanted to help You Beiping, the cavalry under Li Guang's command should be transferred to him, there was no reason to transfer them directly to Wei Qing.

But he can't be so impulsive like Li Guang.

On the one hand, he was psychologically prepared for this, but he just didn't expect it to come so soon.Before the first battle was really over, the emperor began to suppress him; on the other hand, he couldn't express the unhappiness in his heart on his face.Li Guang is a typical soldier of this era, with a temper of firecrackers, and he can get up to a point.If he followed behind and fanned the flames, there would be no way to discuss this matter.

No matter how great the credit is, so what?The power of reward and punishment is in the hands of the Son of Heaven. If you have meritorious service, he will not reward you. What can you do?This kind of thing has happened to Li Guang once, and he doesn't want it to happen again.

Therefore, not only can he not get angry, but he has to be patient and do ideological work for Li Guang.

"General, in your opinion, what is the main reason for winning this time?"

"The main reason?" Li Guang pondered for a moment. "First, the strength of our army has increased significantly, with a total force of more than [-] troops and [-] cavalry. This is unprecedented. Second, our army is targeting Henan and forcing the Huns to fight. Third, it's you If you hadn't made an emergency landing on King Xiutu..."

Liang Xiao interrupted Li Guang.Li Guang is worthy of being a professional soldier. Although he has a bad temper and poor strategic vision, he still has tactical qualities.He knew the pros and cons of this battle clearly.However, that's not what he needs.

"General, the first victory in this battle is not you and me, but Your Majesty." Liang Xiao reached out and pressed lightly, signaling Li Guang not to worry. "If Your Majesty, like Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaojing, does not issue an edict to send troops to attack, will you have a chance to make meritorious deeds?"

Li Guang was taken aback and shook his head.

"If Your Majesty is content to drive the Huns out of the country as before, instead of making a long-distance raid and going straight to Henan, do you have a chance to make meritorious deeds?"

Li Guang's face became even uglier, he closed his mouth tightly and remained silent.

"If His Majesty doesn't give you the main force of the cavalry, but like Han Gong and Cheng Gong, only give you [-] cavalry, and each person has a horse, and the rest are all infantry, do you have a chance to make meritorious service?"

Li Guang slapped his thigh in frustration and let out a long sigh.

Liang Xiao asked several questions in one breath, but Li Guang was speechless.He also knew that, in the final analysis, the decision was in the hands of the Son of Heaven.If the emperor doesn't want him to make meritorious service, he can't make meritorious deeds, no matter how capable he is.In fact, he has been in the army for nearly 30 years, and this is the first time he has made such a great contribution.

"You are right. This is the trust of the emperor in me. But I have also repaid the trust of the emperor. Why should I give up such an opportunity to Wei Qing?"

"We can't blame others, we can only blame ourselves." Liang Xiao grinned. "Because we played really well, even exceeding the expectations of the emperor."

"What kind of nonsense is this?" Li Guang couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't understand what Liang Xiao was talking about.However, his mood has calmed down a lot, and he is a little more complacent.Liang Xiao was right, the emperor held him in high regard, and they had indeed fought beautifully in these few battles.

"General, I said that good soldiers are bad luck. You and I are the best soldiers in the hands of the emperor, and they are the sharpest ones. How can the emperor be willing to let us suffer? Now, Shanyu is about to be repelled by us. We The good soldiers should also be put away. Little thieves like Zuo Xianwang should be left to Wei Qing and the others. We eat meat, but we have to let others drink some soup, don’t you think? People who eat alone are the worst.”

Li Guang stroked his beard and laughed.He stretched out his finger and pointed at Liang Xiao. "You boy, this mouth is really invincible. That's right, I have done enough meritorious deeds this time, let them do the rest. We pack up and prepare to go back to Beijing to be sealed. Haha, this time, I don't know if the emperor can be sealed. Give it to me, if it is Cheng Jihou, it will be beautiful. My Li family has been in decline for so many years, and it is finally revived in my hands."

Liang Xiao was a little embarrassed at first, and used these words to mislead Li Guang, an upright man, but after hearing these words, he suddenly felt open-minded.That's right, compared with the tragic experience of the Li family in history, the current Li family should be content.Ever since Li Xin failed to defeat Chu in the Qin Dynasty, the Li family had longed for the title of Marquis for too long.I have changed the wheel of history and won three princes for the Li family and his son, so I should be content.

As for those who serve the country, let's put it aside.The emperor doesn't want you to work anymore, so why do you fight for it?

Liang Xiao talked with Li Guang for a while, and persuaded him to submit, and then he paid the bill.

Li Gan gave him a thumbs up. "Brother Liang, look around the world, you are the only one who can persuade me, Aunt. Others say that your archery is unrivaled in the world, but in my opinion, your eloquence is truly unrivaled in the world."

Liang Xiao turned his head and glanced at him. "Just know it, and don't offend me in the future. Otherwise, I'll scold you until you vomit blood, and let you see what it means to be truly unique in the world."

"How dare I." Li Gan said with a smile, "It's too late for me to worship you."

-

Liang Xiao rushed to the tent of the Chinese army that Cheng didn't know to ask for an interview.Cheng Bushi immediately asked someone to invite him in.After receiving the edict from the imperial court, Cheng Bushi was having a headache, and Li Guang was going to be furious if nothing else could be said.To convince Li Guang, only Liang Xiao could do it.

However, Cheng Bushi was not sure. After all, this incident not only hurt Li Guang, Liang Xiao was also a victim.Whether a young man can control his emotions is anyone's guess.

"Bo Ming, where are you from?"

"I just came from General Li." Liang Xiao knew what Cheng Bushi wanted to ask, and said straight to the point: "I don't quite understand the imperial court's arrangement, so I went to ask General Li for advice."

Cheng Buzhi smiled, and a stone hanging in the air finally fell to the ground.Sure enough, only Liang Xiao could convince Li Guang.

"General, since the court has made arrangements, the battle here cannot be delayed. What arrangements does the general have?"

Cheng Buzhi sighed lightly.Li Guang and Liang Xiao were not the only ones who were hurt by this arrangement of the imperial court, he was also a victim.He originally wanted to join forces with Li Guang to severely injure Shan Yu and add another stroke to his list of military achievements.Now it seems that there is probably no hope.Wei Qing still had to go to relieve the siege of Youbeiping, so he had to ensure that he had enough troops so as not to cause heavy casualties here.

This battle is over.

"The news came from the scouts in front that Shan Yu has returned to the army, and he will pass here in two days at most. I originally wanted to block it, but now I can only defend the camp. I have arranged for the military officials to count the military exploits and report it on an auspicious day. The imperial court. Is General Li together?"

"This was back then." Liang Xiao said with a smile, "General Li has always advanced and retreated with General Cheng."

Cheng Buzhi smiled, pondered for a moment, and said again: "Bo Ming, I want to ask you to ride, I wonder if you are willing to give in."

Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then bowed gratefully.Li Guang was obviously going to be left idle, and Cheng Bushi asked him to ride the horse, which was like taking advantage of him.However, he knew that the possibility of him being left idle was not at all underestimated by Li Guang.Cheng Bushi hasn't figured out the crux of it yet, and the possibility of his wish coming true is very limited.

"Thank you General for your appreciation, but it's too early to say this now. I'd better wait until I receive the reward, go home to spend time with my family, and then fight side by side with the General."

Cheng Bushi sighed regretfully, a little regretful, but not angry.After all, Liang Xiao is still Li Guang's general, if Liang Xiao agrees, it will be difficult for him to tell Li Guang.

Cheng Buzhi immediately invited Li Guang, Wei Qing and others, and officially announced the content of the imperial edict.Wei Qing was silent for a while without saying a word.Li Guang calmed down after Liang Xiao's persuasion, both true and false, and he didn't say anything.

Cheng Bushi heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately arranged military affairs to properly end the war.

At present, the Han army has more than 2 infantry, more than [-] cavalry, and the total strength is less than [-].The Shanyu tribe of the Huns did not suffer any major losses, and the organizational system was basically complete. The Youxian King tribe was severely damaged, with only about [-] people left. Including the supply camp, it should be around [-].

The biggest problem for the Huns was the lack of logistical supplies. After Liang Xiao burned two major supply camps, they had limited time and had to return to the grassland as soon as possible.The Han army is relatively full, and the food and grass allocated by the imperial court are finally arriving with the people from the village, and the logistics problem will be solved soon.

Both sides have their own strengths and weaknesses, and no one wants to fight anymore, so they can only stop fighting at this point.

-

Two days later, the Xiongnu Shanyu led his troops through Daze.Although their losses in troops were limited, they came in high spirits and returned in disappointment, with somewhat low morale.

Shan Yu stopped for a while beside the big lake, looking at the Han army camp in the distance, feeling depressed.

On the cart beside him, Bank of China said that his breath was like a gossamer, motionless, like a mummified corpse.

Prince Yu Shan stood aside, his eyes wandering.He always felt that he was underappreciated, as long as he had a chance, he could become famous in one battle.Under his pleading, Shan Yu finally gave him a chance to lead an army of [-], but ordered him to keep the distance within [-] miles, without freedom of movement at all, so naturally he could not be considered to have done any meritorious service.

Fortunately for him, he was far from the most miserable person.King Baiyang almost wiped out his entire army, King Loufan's head was in a different place, and even King Youxian made a big mistake and was burned by the Han people.

The Huns did not gain anything this time.

"Just bury me next to the big lake. Don't set up a grave, don't seal the tree, just dig a hole. Let me be buried according to the customs of the Yan people. I was born as a Yan people, and when I die..." Bank of China said silently for a moment, Youyou said: "Still a Yan person."

"Da Tuqi, even though you said that." Shan Yu said quickly, "The great wizard said that your life is not over..."

"They are talking nonsense." Bank of China said with a silent laugh. "Chan Yu, I'm lucky. I don't have to watch the Xiongnu decline. When this day just comes, I can leave. I'm going to see the old Shang Shan Yu and tell him what happened here. Shan Yu, what should be said ...I've said it all, you...you can do it for yourself."

His voice became smaller and smaller, and gradually became inaudible.Seeing this, the military official Shanyu quickly got off his horse, stepped in front of Zhongxingshuo, and stretched out his hand to hold Zhongxingshuo's hand, but found that Zhongxingshuo had no response.There was a weird smile on his dry face, and his cloudy eyes remained motionless, as if they were staring at him, staring at him.

Military minister Shan Yu suddenly felt empty in his heart, his legs softened, his body slid down, his knees fell to the ground, and wept bitterly.

"Da Tuqi..."
