The fierce battle on the battlefield gradually came to an end. Groups of Xiongnu soldiers were dejectedly escorted westward by the Han cavalry. There were more than 2 Huns in the army, except for more than [-] people who escaped across the river and more than [-] people who were sent to the west. After fleeing, the main force of the remaining [-] Huns in Bingzhou was wiped out by the Han army, and nearly [-] people were captured.

At this time, a group of Han cavalry led by Ma Dai came from a distance and rushed to the general Zhao Yun. Ma Dai bowed and reported: "Commander, Liu Bao has been shot and killed by his humble subordinates!"

Zhao Yun thought that Liu Bao had escaped from the north, and he was depressed. Unexpectedly, Ma Dai told him that Liu Bao had been shot. Zhao Yun was overjoyed and asked quickly, "Who shot him?"

Ma Dai turned his head and winked, the young military marquis knelt down on one knee and held up Liu Bao's head high, "Report to the commander, I was lucky enough to shoot Liu Bao."

A soldier took the head, Zhao Yun took a closer look, it was indeed Liu Bao, he finally let go of his heart, since Liu Bao was dead, he could give orders to the King of Han, he glanced at the Junhou again, and saw that he seemed to be a He was a Han man, so he asked with a smile: "What's your name, what is your official position?"

"My name is Yang Ying, and I'm currently the Marquis of the Second Cavalry Battalion."

Ma Dai next to him smiled and added: "This man was specially promoted by the King of Han, and he was even given an arrow."

'It turned out to be him! '

Zhao Yun nodded. He also heard about it. The King of Han specially promoted a Han slave. It is said that this man was excellent at archery and could shoot on horseback.

Zhao Yun smiled approvingly and said, "Although I didn't see you shoot an arrow with my own eyes, you have lived up to the King of Han's expectations and killed the enemy chief. This is the most useful arrow technique."

It is not easy to be praised by Zhao Yun, Yang Ying said gratefully: "Thank you for the commendation from the coach, I will do my best to serve His Highness the King of Han."

At this time, a soldier led Liu Bao's war horse over. It was a one-in-a-million BMW horse named 'Feiyundu'. It was red all over without a single hair. Zhao Yun gently stroked the horse. , turned around and smiled at Yang Ying: "Since you shot Liu Bao, this horse will reward you."

The people around all cast envious looks, Yang Ying blushed, and declined in a low voice: "The humble official is humble, I dare not accept this good horse."

"You mean, I want to promote you again?" Zhao Yun smiled slightly.

"No! No! I have absolutely no intention of such a humble job."

"If that's the case, why don't you accept the horse? Rewarding your war horse is for you to serve the King of Han better and make more achievements, not for you to enjoy it."

Yang Ying didn't dare to refuse anymore, so she had to accept the horse. Zhao Yun said again: "You will also be rewarded and promoted, but this is not up to me to decide. The French military division will report to Pingzhangtai uniformly, and then reward them together."

"Understandable!"

Zhao Yun patted him on the shoulder, "Go! I hope to see you next time, you have worked hard and been promoted to the general."

Yang Ying saluted, and flew excitedly onto the new horse, leaned over and whispered a few words to the horse, and then urged the horse, and the horse ran away quickly. Ma Dai watched him run away, walked up to Zhao Yun, and laughed and cursed: "This brat, He ran away without saying goodbye to me."

Zhao Yun looked at Yang Ying's back as he ran away, but said to Ma Dai solemnly: "The king of Han has a good sense of people. Since he rewarded him with arrows, it shows that this person must have something extraordinary. I will reward him with a horse as a reward." His achievements are also a win over him, but we must not let him be arrogant, I hope General Ma can strictly control him and cultivate him carefully, in time, he will become a pillar of our Han army."

Ma Dai came to his senses, and immediately bowed and said, "I understand."

At this time, Pang De rode forward, reined in his horse and said, "Report to the commander, the battle is over, should we return to Gaonu immediately? I am very worried that the Xiongnu Shanyu will take advantage of our Eastern War and break out from Luochuan Road."

Zhao Yun nodded, "General Pang's worry is not wrong, but the military order given to us by the King of Han has always been to wipe out Liu Bao's army, and did not let us surround Huchuquan's army. I think if the King of Han does not change the military order, then He has his own arrangements, so we don't have to worry too much."

While everyone was talking, a troop of cavalry came rushing up and shouted from afar: "The King of Han's military order has arrived!"

Everyone didn't expect the military order to come so timely, so they hurriedly went up to greet him, the messenger bowed to Zhao Yun and said, "General Zhao, the King of Han has an urgent military order."

He took the military order scroll from his back and presented it to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun opened the military order, read it quickly, and said with a smile to everyone: "As expected, His Royal Highness told us not to worry about the Xiongnu Shanyu's army. Concentrate on dealing with the Xiongnu in Bingzhou, and we must annihilate them on the west bank of the Yellow River."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yun asked the messenger soldier again: "Where is His Highness the King of Han now?"

"Reporting to General, His Royal Highness ordered General Wang Ping and General Wu Ban to lead [-] troops northward to follow Xiongnu Shanyu, while he led [-] troops to Zhidao, which seems to be going to Wuting Pass."

Zhao Yun felt a little strange, he felt that Liu Jing didn't seem to care much about Huchuquan's army, what's the reason?At this time, Zhao Yun raised his head and looked at the heavy snow all over the sky. He suddenly realized that he really didn't need to worry about Huchuquan's army until the heavy snow came.

After Hu Chuquan got the news that Liu Bao's army was crossing the river to the west, he immediately made preparations to retreat. Frankly speaking, Hu Chuquan coaxed Liu Bao's army to go west at this time, it was indeed for self-protection, only Liu Bao's army Only by advancing westward can the main force of the Han army in Gaonu County be led away, and only then can it create an opportunity for him to retreat.

Of course, Hu Chuquan didn't want Liu Bao's army to be wiped out, but he couldn't do it if he was asked to reorganize the army and attack Zhao Yunzhi from behind. Liu Jing's army was staring at him behind him. The downturn and the shortage of food and grass, at this time, he can only protect himself, evacuate the pass as soon as possible, and return to the grassland.

So when the main force of the Han army in Gaonu County went to pursue Liu Bao's army, Hu Chuquan seized this fleeting opportunity and led [-] Huns to rush out from Luochuan Road. He ran non-stop in the northwest direction.

At this time, Hu Chuquan was very anxious. The first heavy snow this year came early, and the road in Saibei must have been blocked by heavy snow. In this case, it was impossible for him to lead the army back to the grassland. A humble tribe spent a long winter in Lingzhou before they had the chance to go north to the grasslands.

Hu Chuquan looked up at the gray sky. It had been snowing heavily for two days and two nights. The snow had reached to the knees of people. Three days, within three days, they had to arrive at Lingzhou.

Under the leadership of Shanyu Huchuquan, this 3-strong Huns cavalry headed towards Lingzhou with difficulty.

. . . . . . . .

This early heavy snow brought great difficulties to all the Huns, especially Liu Qubei's army who was trapped on the straight road.

In order to break through the blockade, they launched fierce attacks on Wuting Pass twice, but they were defeated by the Han army's brutal fire oil tactics. Thousands of people were burned to death, and all the siege ladders were destroyed.

The Huns had no siege weapons, and more importantly, they completely lost their confidence in siege, so they could only wait hard on the straight road south of Wuting Pass, waiting for Shanyu to send reinforcements to rescue them. a month.

The food had long been cut off, so the soldiers could only kill the horses to satisfy their hunger. A month later, more than half of the horses had been slaughtered, and the bones and carcasses of the horses were everywhere on the straight road.

Moreover, they did not carry tents. The tens of thousands of troops only had more than a hundred small tents, all of which were occupied by high-ranking officers above the commander-in-chief. In the bitter cold wind, I can only suffer day by day.

After a long month, the soldiers were severely damaged physically and mentally. Unfortunately, many soldiers fell ill, and many even died of illness. At this time, a more severe test came quietly.

Liu Qubei lived in the largest tent with thick animal skins on the floor, and it was bitingly cold in the tent. His guards went to the hillside to dig some tree roots and shrubs, and lit a fire for him to keep warm. Liu Qubei also I don't want to spend the money, so I shut myself in the tent all day drinking to relieve my boredom.

Of course he didn't need to eat horse meat, and it was impossible to cut off all the food. There were only a few hundred sheep and two dozen cows left, which were not enough to feed an army of tens of thousands, and could only supply a few high-ranking officials such as Liu Qubei.

In the middle of the night, Liu Qubei was suddenly awakened from his deep sleep by the guards, and he asked in a daze, "What's the matter?"

"My lord, it's not too bad." The guard stammered, his face was full of tension, but he couldn't speak, and pointed his finger outside.

Liu Qubei got up suddenly, pulled out his saber, and strode out of the tent. He thought there was an enemy attack, but when he lifted the curtain, he was stunned. Goose feather heavy snow.

"What time is it?" Liu Qubei asked nervously.

"Not yet one more."

Liu Qubei could only feel trembling in two waves. The moment he feared the most finally came. It was snowing heavily, but they were trapped to death on the straight road. Could it be that the heavens wanted Liu Qubei to be exiled from this place?

Liu Qubei has cursed Huchuquan countless times, even though he wanted to curse Huchuquan for being a vain Shanyu at this time, but he refused to save them with all his might, but he couldn't do it anymore and stood there for a while, and he Sighing, he turned and went back to the tent.

This is God's will, the heavens sent snow in advance to punish them, whether his soldiers can survive depends on whether the heavens can forgive them, and there is nothing he can do
