Snowy Chang'an Road

Chapter 17 Battle against the Huns
  The sound of firecrackers in the city last night lasted until midnight, disturbing Pei Ying's sweet dreams.

In the early morning, when she yawned and opened the door, she found that everyone was busy. Seeing her coming out, Zhong Yang walked to her side.

"Brother and sister, it's really you."

"Brother Zhong, it's me."

"Brother Wei is so unreliable. He has to go to fight in the Huns' territory in such a cold weather. You will suffer more if you follow us. He really doesn't think about you at all."

"Brother Zhong, he didn't let me come, so I had to follow him."

Zhong Yang really can't understand her. Isn't it good to stay in Chang'an? If His Majesty hadn't insisted on going north, he would never have been willing to go out to fight in such weather.

Outside Guangyang Gate, Wei Shao bid farewell to Cao Shuo.

One hundred thousand soldiers rolled up the dust, and a line of clear tears streaked down the cheeks.

Battle against the Huns 1
  On the third day after leaving Guangyang, we arrived at the Great Wall. The border was bitterly cold and the snow had not melted. The place we entered was desolate and desolate, with only mountains and ravines, and a vast expanse.

Battle against the Huns II

Shanggu County has been captured by the Huns. The Huns burned, killed and looted the county, making the people's lives miserable. Wei Shao led his troops to attack for two days, and the city gate was broken. The main force of the Xiongnu had moved south and penetrated into the hinterland of the Central Plains. General Chun Wei Baichuo was killed and his head was taken. The people in the city burst into tears of gratitude.

Battle against the Huns III

Traveling west from Shanggu County, you often encounter the remnants of the Huns along the way, and you can easily deal with them. The army moves forward in a mighty manner, thus intimidating the border.

Battle against the Huns IV

Traveling to Yunzhong County, it is surrounded by the Yinshan Mountains to the north and is warmer than other counties in the north. The Shanyu stationed 20,000 troops here. The Xiongnu generals who defended the city were cunning and failed to capture it for several days. They were temporarily trapped. deadlock. After several discussions, Zhong Yang led the army to feign a frontal attack. Wei Shao and Xiao Shen each led 3,000 cavalry and attacked from the rear and left and right. The Huns were at a loss and the city was broken.

Battle against the Huns Chapter 5

Five days after the great victory in the clouds, I suddenly saw a high wall in front of me, like a flying dragon, winding between the mountains and ridges. The Great Wall was close at hand. Seeing this scene, the officers and soldiers in the army couldn't help but sing aloud: I have gone there, and the willows are still there; Now that I'm thinking about it, it's raining and snowing. The journey is slow, full of thirst and hunger. My heart is sad, but I don’t know how sad I am! It has been more than a month since I left the Great Wall in Shanggu County. Now I have arrived in Yanmen County, which is closer to Chang'an.

Battle against the Huns 6

His Majesty received news that the siege of Mayi had been resolved, and there was no sign of the rebel Gao Jun. He was suspicious of going north, and ordered Wei Shao to speed his army south and meet the main force in Mayi.

Three days later, Wei Shao's army marched ten miles north of Mayi City.

Zhong Yang and Pei Ying rode together. After this period of training, Pei Ying has mastered the skill of riding a horse. The bumps on the horse's back that originally frightened her are now gradually adapted to her body. In addition to the discomfort of riding for a long time, My butt hurts, my waist feels stiff, my legs and feet are sore, but everything else feels fine. It’s just a means of transportation, as long as my legs and feet don’t suffer.

"Brother and sister, your disguise skills are really amazing. It's like you've completely changed into a different person. When I see Duke Pei later, I guess he won't be able to recognize you."

"Brother Zhong, please don't leak anything in front of my father."

Zhong Yang nodded quickly.

In the governor's house, Wei Yuan sat in the main seat, Pei Kai, Yong Bo, Wei Shao, Zhong Yang, and Xiao Shen took their seats in turn. The governor, the county lieutenant, and the censor stationed in Chang'an sat opposite, discussing the next battle together. plan.

Wei Yuan frowned, thinking about something.

"My dear friends, we have conquered all the way and won one after another. Now Hunan Chanyu has fled to Daijun, but the traitor Gao Jun has disappeared out of thin air. Where do you think he will go?" Yong Bo was the first to speak: "The territory of Wei Dynasty is vast. , there is no place to hide a traitor, I thought Gao Jun was hiding."

"Lieutenant Yong, tell me, where did he hide?"

This question stopped Yong Bo.

After a pause, Pei Kai said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. After a traitor was surrounded and suppressed by the Xiongnu, the remnants of his subordinates were already reduced to a mob. If Gao Jun hides, where can we find him in this vast world? But if he dares If there is a rebellion, His Majesty only needs to send out a large army to suppress it, and there is nothing to be afraid of when a strong crossbow fails."

"Okay, Duke Pei's words are reasonable. Now there is one more thing that I need to discuss with you dear friends. In recent months, our army has won successive victories, and its morale has been high. The morale of the army has been greatly boosted. Now that we are here, I want to take advantage of the victory to pursue and drive out the Xiongnu. I wonder if any of you, dear friends, may have any objections?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Shao stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is not allowed."

"King of Peiping, it doesn't matter if you say so."

"I, General Zhong, and General Xiao have been sweeping the border for months. Except for the battle with the Xiongnu in Yunzhong County, there are only a few remnants of the Xiongnu everywhere, and they are all weak soldiers and ordinary horses. The Xiongnu are fierce and sturdy. , the spies reported that there were at least 300,000 troops under the command of Shan Yu, but now they are nowhere to be seen, which is really strange."

"In the two battles of Shangdang and Taiyuan, the Xiongnu suffered about 200,000 people and suffered more than 80,000 casualties. No matter how bold the Chanyu was, he could not let all the 300,000 troops go south. Now, including the counties in Jiangcheng, Soldiers, we still have an army of 300,000, and the Huns only have a few hundred thousand. It is not a bad idea to destroy them all. However, what the King of Peiping is worried about is also a problem for me. I am thinking deeply about it, in case he does it deliberately. If he shows weakness, then if we advance rashly, wouldn’t we fall into his trap? Duke Pei, do you have any opinions?"

Pei Kai stood up and said, "Since your Majesty is worried, you might as well send an envoy to spy on the Xiongnu army. Now that we have been victorious one after another, it is time to go and meet with the Hunan Chanyu."

"Okay, I'll leave the spying matter to the Duke."

"The minister obeys the order."

People are unpredictable, especially when it is a matter of life and death. Pei Kai attaches great importance to spying and sends five waves of envoys one after another. The answers given by the envoys after they came back were surprisingly consistent.

Your Majesty is wise. The Huns are weak and can be attacked. This is a God-given opportunity.

But Pei Kai was still worried, so he decided to go on a personal mission to find out the truth. Wei Shao accompanied him on this mission.

"King Peiping, I have been away from home for two and a half months. Have you ever received a letter from Ying'er?"

"No, my son-in-law is traveling around and has no fixed place to live. Even if my wife wants to send a letter home, she doesn't know where to send it."

"I received a letter from home, saying that Sheng'er is pregnant, and now I am also going to be my maternal grandfather."

"This is a good thing, congratulations to my father-in-law."

"After the Xiongnu are pacified this time, when you return to Chang'an, you and Ying'er should hurry up. I am old, and now I just want to have children and grandchildren around my knees and enjoy the happiness of family."

"Yes."

Two days later, Pei Kai and Wei Shao returned to the governor's mansion.

After returning from this mission, Pei Kai had been frowning. After spying on the Xiongnu's true and false situation, he also felt that he could attack. However, Wei Shao was more determined, asserting that this was a trick of the Xiongnu to show weakness, and he must not be fooled. After his persistence, Next, Pei Kai was shaken in his heart.

After the two of them stated their thoughts, Wei Yuan already had the answer in his mind.

　No matter how cold the weather is, the enthusiasm for fighting remains undiminished. Princess and prince, please read a book.
