Starting from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 123 Holy Snow Master

Seeing Li Huan nod his head, a ferocious look appeared in Gongsun Ao's eyes. With enough strength, he shouted loudly: "Stop talking nonsense, put down your weapons immediately, get off the horse and surrender, otherwise!"

As he raised his arms, the soldiers on the left and right rows immediately opened their bows and aimed at the hundreds of mounted Huns.

The sound of the bow string vibrating caused the expression of the Hun cavalry who stepped out of the array to shout slightly change, and he couldn't help but turn his head and look back.

One of the Hun women with brightly colored bird feathers on her head was the first to get off the horse. With this person taking the lead, the remaining two Hun women did not hesitate and immediately got off their horses. The rest of the Hun cavalry saw this and Some people looked at each other, some whispered in low voices, and some people turned over and dismounted without saying a word, pretending to surrender.

Li Huan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. He waved his hand, and Su Wu immediately sent people forward. The Han soldiers on the left and right rows still kept their bows and arrows cocked.

This is no child's play. If the other party pretends to surrender, it will be exciting.

As the Huns put down their weapons and dismounted, the Han soldiers stepped forward and took away their horses and weapons. Li Huan still huddled behind the army like a tortoise.

This made Gongsun Ao, who was walking in front with a big sword in his hands, amazed. This safety awareness is really much better than his own!

"Spread out and let the scouts out. I want to interrogate these three Hun women myself!" Li Huan looked like he was rubbing shoulders.

Gongsun Ao looked around and pointed to a low bush not far away: "Old Li, it's nice over there. Do you think we need to tie it up?"

Li Huan tilted his head and looked at Gongsun Ao with a damn expression: "What I mean by interrogation is interrogation."

Gongsun Ao almost choked on his saliva and said, "The interrogation everyone talks about is not interrogation. Why did you say interrogation in person?" He turned to the bodyguard beside him and said, "Go and bring the person here."

The personal guard responded and led the people forward.

"See General!"

The leading woman looked much prettier than the Hun women Li Huan had seen along the way. Whether it was her face, her exotic dress, or her healthy wheat complexion, they were all full of a different kind of temptation.

As for the other two women, let alone beauties among the Xiongnu women, they are also outstanding among the ladies of the Han Empire.

"You can take the initiative to surrender at this time and avoid being killed. I guess you are a smart person. Since you are a smart person, then don't do stupid things and tell me everything about you."

As Li Huan spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at several other Huns men. The leather jackets worn by these four men looked more advanced than the other Huns cavalry, and they were not wearing armor and did not even have weapons.

His hands were completely different from those of other surrendered Hun soldiers. From Li Huan's point of view, they were very well maintained and had hardly done any rough work. This was so unlike a Huns.

Normal Huns, even if they are not doing menial work, herding sheep and horses, carrying swords to kill people, their hands are covered with calluses, but as long as they are on horseback, holding the reins for many years, their hands will be different from those of normal Han people. .

However, the hands of these four Hun men had no calluses at all, which was too abnormal.

"I am a witch doctor and priest of the Huns. These two are the wives of the Aries King. As for them, they are the uncles of the Aries King."

Li Huan's eyes flashed coldly: "The uncle of the Aries King must be a hero on horseback. Why do the hands of the four of them look smoother and tenderer than the hands of a woman like you?"

Li Huan just raised his hand, and the guards on the side roughly grabbed the hands of the four Xiongnu men and raised them high.

Seeing this, the strangely dressed woman who claimed to be a witch doctor priest looked at one of the men and said, "Talk to the general yourself, why?"

"Because we all coveted the position of King Aries. We used to have six brothers, but King Aries killed two of them, leaving us four. We were also put under house arrest by King Aries. We couldn't ride horses or wear armor. Fighting with swords, so our hands look smoother than women's hands."

Li Huan smiled and said: "So, you must hate the Aries King very much?"

The Hun man said: "General, if you want to inquire about the Aries King from us, you will be disappointed. Wei Qing's soldiers and horses suddenly came out. Before we could figure out what happened, we were already overwhelmed by these The cavalry guarding us were half urged to go on the road, and met the priest and the two queens on the way."

"It seems that you, the priest, will know the traces of the Aries King, right?" Li Huan narrowed his eyes, and with a knife, he instantly fell on the neck of the Hun priest.

"Don't waste our time. We are still thinking of capturing more prisoners to use as our military exploits." Li Huan looked at the bloodless priest with a smile: "Besides, you have been captured alive now, what about you? You should be clear that if you don’t cooperate with me, no amount of perverted and terrible punishments can be used on a woman.”

A group of personal guards suddenly let out perverted and ferocious laughter in a very cooperative manner.

This time, not only the priest, but also the two concubines of the Aries King were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and even their lips trembled slightly.

"I only know that King Aries has escaped, but I really don't know where he escaped from."

The smile on Li Huan's face disappeared, and the priest was so frightened that his whole body trembled, his legs went weak, and he collapsed directly on the ground.

However, Li Huan turned his horse's head and ordered: "The whole army marches to Gaoque!"

"Order!"

The two princesses of the Aries King gingerly helped the priest up who was lying limply on the ground. Some people saw that the lower body of the priest was wet, but no one laughed at her.

In that scene just now, life and death were in an instant, and no one was not afraid.

"Father Zhong, why are these people staying here? They will only slow down our march!" Huo Qubing liked the most direct method.

"Your uncle has already led his army here, which means that the overall situation has been decided. We are going to Gaoque, just to join up with your uncle's army staying there." Li Huan said with a thoughtful look on his face: "Qu Bing, I I really didn’t expect that this battle in Henan would go so smoothly!”

"The main force of the Xiongnu is attacking and plundering in Liaoxi, Yuyang, Shangjun and other places. Henan is empty. We have just been given such an opportunity. But I think that after this battle, we will probably build cities here, control the passes, and fill in the borders with immigrants. .”

After Huo Qubing said this, he lowered his voice: "Father Zhong, I see there are carriages captured by our army over there. Do you want... Ahem, anyway, the battle here is over, and the news that the Xiongnu lost Henan has spread. , Zuo Xianwang will definitely withdraw his troops, otherwise our army will advance to the northeast with such a victorious force, and Zuo Xianwang will definitely have no good fruit!"

A look of discomfort flashed across Li Huan's face. He looked in the direction of Huo Qubing's finger and saw the carriage he mentioned.

It was a large wooden cart, and there were quite a few of them scattered everywhere. It was filled with all kinds of sheepskins. Just looking at it made people want to move their butts over... "Let's make arrangements and call the female priest over. I want to know more about the Huns.”

Huo Qubing responded and even asked someone to build a shade shed on the big wooden cart...

Li Huan smelled the peculiar smell of the Hun female priest, but didn't care: "What's your name?"

"Brave general, I have no name, people call me the Holy Snow Master."

"Holy Snow Master?" Li Huan became curious: "This title is very strange."

A trace of panic flashed across the face of the priestess: "I have been fostered in the temple since I was very young. When I grew up, I walked on the grasslands to treat people and livestock. So people used the sacred mountain to White Snow, as my name, is just like how you Han people call a learned person Master, the meaning is the same, but the name is different."

"It turns out you are a scholar on the grassland."

Master Shengxue looked a little uneasy: "I don't dare to take it, General... General, do you have any other questions? As long as I know, I will definitely answer it."

"Has anything major happened on the grassland recently?"

"A big event on the grassland?" Master Shengxue's eyes flashed with fear: "The war with the Han Dynasty... This should be a big event..."

"Forget it, let me ask you directly, why did King Zuo Xian start a war with my big man at such an abnormal time? Spring has just begun, and it is still a bit cold in the north, but it is also the time when the pastures grow and the cattle and sheep are in estrus. We The Han people have just finished sowing, and you Huns are busy herding sheep and cattle, so why is it unwise to start a war at this time?"

Sheng Xueshi had such an original expression on her face, she said: "If the general has such doubts, then I have really heard two theories."

"I would like to hear more about it!" Li Huan squinted his eyes and smiled, making Sheng Xueshi feel a wave of inexplicable fear.

"It is said that among you Han people, there is a man named Li Huan. He is very talented and makes King Zuo Xian extremely jealous. He even used his chess pieces buried in the Han Dynasty to kill him, but he failed."

Li Huan touched the tip of his nose. This was the second time he heard this statement. Thinking about it, King Zuo Xian wanted to kill himself, so he couldn't lie.

"Second point, I heard that Shan Yu was old and favored the Xinlan family, and immediately the wind broke out. This was a very secret matter, but it became known to everyone in the grassland. King Zuo Xian didn't see the situation. Miao, so I can’t wait for a victory to stabilize people’s hearts.”

There was a strange look on Master Shengxue's face: "Just because King You Xian seems to have a disloyal heart, once a war breaks out, King Zuo Xian can also find an excuse to draw troops from him. King Aries and King Lou Fan All the soldiers and horses under the tent were taken away."

Li Huan muttered: "Then you must also know now that King Zuo Xian was deceived by us."

"I don't know much about military matters, but King Aries and King Loufan are, to a greater extent, taking orders from King Youxian. They lost the land of Henan. Great Chanyu and King Zuoxian may not be secretly happy."

After Master Shengxue said these words, he suddenly saw Li Huan looking at him strangely, and he immediately lowered his head in fear.

Li Huan couldn't help but marveled: "It's interesting, you can actually see through this relationship."

Seeing that Li Huan was not angry because of these words, Master Shengxue breathed a sigh of relief: "The Xiongnu were originally very powerful. Even if Da Shanyu is old and seriously ill, he still has a lot of influence on the entire Xiongnu. He has strong control, but he always lets King Youxian do some stupid things. I have walked through many places in the grassland, and naturally I am very aware of the changes in the entire grassland."

Li Huan's eyes lit up slightly: "So, you are very familiar with the terrain of the grassland."

Master Shengxue's face turned slightly pale, and his eyes were a little frightened: "General, you want me to be a guide for the army?"

"Not now, maybe in the future, and of course maybe I won't appear on the battlefield again." Li Huan grinned: "Because, I am the Li Huan that King Zuo Xian wants to kill."

The bloodless face of Master Shengxue instantly turned red, and his eyes showed an incredulous look, which finally turned into panic.

Li Huan felt a little uncomfortable with this look: "Can I eat people?"

"I'm rude, I really didn't expect that the general is the great talent of the Han Dynasty!" Master Shengxue suddenly realized that the general in front of him would not use himself as a guide, but other generals, such as the Huns who were most afraid of Wei Qing, however, might use himself as a guide.

This shows that death is far away from us.

Li Huan noticed that the originally nervous Hun priestess in front of him suddenly became relaxed.

"Have you seen Zhang Qian?" Li Huan didn't have much hope, but a smart person like Zhang Qian would definitely find an opportunity to escape when Wei Qing descended from the sky.

Master Shengxue's bright eyes widened a lot in an instant: "I heard that he was under house arrest by King Aries. Although I haven't seen him this time, I saw him before when he was detained by the Huns. His wife When she gave birth, I was the one who delivered her baby.”

"Thankfully I didn't torture you just now, and thank you for being smart enough to know that telling the truth can save your life." Li Huan laughed happily: "Zhang Qian and I are close friends. If I kill you by mistake, I will feel guilty inside." Responsible."

Master Shengxue didn't quite believe Li Huan's words. She believed more that the Han general in front of her found that she was of value that could be used, so she spoke a little softly to herself.

"Report! General, our army has captured more than [-] Huns defeated troops alive, and learned from their mouths that the cavalry general Wei Qing has led his army to capture the Aries King's palace!"

A guard came to report with great excitement.

Upon hearing this, Li Huan said: "Keep the team moving, we should continue to Gaoque. Once the Huns' defeated troops flee to King Youxian's tribe, the Huns may counterattack. Tell the brothers, since we have already eaten in Henan There is no reason to spit it out. When it’s time to drink the celebration wine, you have to drink it, but the battle is not over yet.”

He paused and then said: "Let Su Wu lead the team to contact Wei Qing and inform him of the current situation of our army. If we want to send troops to support Li Guang's department, we can go out at any time."

The personal guard solemnly retreated after being ordered to deliver military orders while looking for Su Wu.

Master Shengxue listened to Li Huan's series of military orders and couldn't help but said: "The general's work is impeccable."

"The King Youxian has lost Henan, and there is a high probability that he will not counterattack at this time. I am doing this just because I am afraid of death." Li Huan smiled nonchalantly: "I still have some questions about the Xiongnu. I want to ask you for advice."

Master Shengxue felt more and more that Li Huan was unbelievable, and he hurriedly bowed to express his submission: "General, you are joking, but I will never hide anything I know."
