The Emperor of Red Mansions: Many Children, Many Blessings, Opening Draft

The sun sets, and the sky is full of red.

It seems that the heavens are telling the cruelty of this war.

There is no noise on the battlefield at this moment. Except for the horses still wailing, the entire battlefield is already a sea of ​​blood and corpses.

The diffused smoke slowly floats in the air like a ghost.

The Donghu soldiers fell in a pool of blood in various twisted postures, some with broken arms and limbs, and some with wide eyes, as if they were still immersed in the fear and unwillingness of the battle.

In the distance, several crows circled in the sky, making shrill cries, adding a bit of sadness to this tragic scene.

The Qiexue army was stained with dark blood, and the suffocating smell of blood seemed to have no effect on them.

The Qiexue army dragged their slightly tired bodies to clean the battlefield.

Looking for injured friendly soldiers and the bodies of dead friendly soldiers.

When passing by the corpses of Donghu soldiers, they would cut off their heads and tie the hair on the heads to the horses behind them.

If there were good horses on the road, they would also take them.

At the edge of the battlefield, Xin Qiji used his brush to stain the dark red blood river on the ground and wrote the battle report on the cloth torn from the enemy.

After writing the battle report, Xin Qiji specially ordered a Qiexue army to send it to the important town of Liaodong and hand it over to Yue Fei.

"Pass the order down, set up camp on the spot tonight!"

"Tomorrow morning, the fast horses will attack the various Donghu tribes!"

After sending the message that the Qiexue army left, Xin Qiji ordered the generals beside him.

"General, do we have to take these heads with us?"

After the generals obeyed the order, they asked Xin Qiji.

"Send a team of people back to the important town of Liaodong!"

Xin Qiji waved his hand nonchalantly.

Just then, a group of Qiexue soldiers came rushing from the northwest.

"General, the Donghu logistics sheep flock has been found! The Donghu people responsible for escorting the sheep have been killed, and there are about 300 people left, all of whom are civilians looted from our Great Wu."

After getting off the horse, the Qiexue soldiers reported to Xin Qiji with a chest-touching salute.

"Very good!"

"How far are the sheep flocks from us now!"

Xin Qiji nodded and said to the Qiexue soldiers who came to report.

"To reply to the general, they are less than ten miles away from us."

The reporting Qiexue soldiers replied to Xin Qiji.

"Okay, give the order!

After the sheep are delivered, bury the pot and cook! We will eat mutton tonight!

Also, all the sheep have been slaughtered!

When the time comes, we will take as many as we can. The ones we can't take will be given to the people to take away and used as food on the way back!"

"It's winter now, and meat can be preserved for a long time!"

Xin Qiji nodded and gave the order to the soldiers who reported the Qiexue Army and the generals beside him again.

After receiving Xin Qiji's order, the soldiers who reported and the generals around him all smiled.

Although they had only eaten the rations they brought with them for a short time, they were still craving for mutton.

Meat was something that they would be very greedy for if they didn't eat it for a meal.

And eating meat would give them more strength to fight the enemy.

Liaodong Town...

"Good, good!"

After receiving the blood letter sent back by Xin Qiji, Yue Fei became very excited.

He really didn't expect Xin Qiji to give him such a big surprise!

Xin Qiji wiped out the 30,000 Donghu troops in such a short time and with such little loss. This was an unprecedented victory no matter where it happened.

If this matter got out, I'm afraid that if they didn't go to trouble Zuo Xian Wang's army, Zuo Xian Wang's army would have to consider whether to go south or tighten their belts and live in their own nest this winter.

As long as Zuo Xian Wang's army didn't move, the two powerful enemies of Da Wu to the north of Liaodong would no longer pose any threat.

Because he could transfer troops from other important towns and deal with Donghu with peace of mind.

Now he knew that Xin Qiji and his 30,000 Qiexue troops had such fierce combat power.

He had to wait for Xin Qiji to lead the Donghu army to the south and devour the Donghu main force.

As long as the Donghu's manpower was devoured, the Zuoxianwang army, which had been eyeing the Donghu, would probably immediately encircle and suppress the Donghu, which had suffered huge losses.

At that time, the Zuoxianwang army would not be able to take care of going south. When the Zuoxianwang army completely annexed and digested the Donghu, he had time to thoroughly reorganize the nine border towns, and then let the nine border towns have the strength to fight against the Zuoxianwang army.

In the future, it would be the words of Emperor Wu of Han: If the enemy can go, I can go too.

There is not even a city in such a large grassland.

Even the Xiongnu Dragon City only set up some defensive measures.

So at that time, even if he had many infantrymen in the Great Wu, the vast grassland would only allow him to lead the army to a level battlefield.

He had never been defeated in his life dealing with the northern barbarians. As long as he trained the army, wouldn't he be able to control the northern barbarians?

As time went on, Xin Qiji led the Qiexue army to divide into 30 routes. With a small number of people, the army was fast and took advantage of the night to attack more than 40 tribes of Donghu.

Because the grassland is vast and sparsely populated, and the herdsmen need to graze, if the population is dense, the herdsmen are afraid that they can't support themselves, so the tribes are far apart, and the number of people in each tribe will not be too large.

Even the distance between each household in the tribe is relatively far.

So the Qiexue army did not need any cattle and sheep to attack the Donghu tribes, except for the constant running, and it did not take any time at all.

And that's why the Qiexue army was divided into thirty groups, and there were scouts to explore the way.

When the Qiexue army entered the Donghu tribe, it was easy to avoid the Donghu's defensive army.

After the surprise attack at night, the Qiexue army collected the bodies, left behind the disguised people to follow, and the others rested in the tents of the tribes that had been slaughtered..

Just wait until the evening to eat and drink enough, and then continue the night attack mission after resting up.

Donghu Royal Court, inside the royal tent...

At this time, the unaware Donghu Khan was guarding a table of cooked mutton, feasting on it while watching the beautiful dance of the Dawu dancers below.

Looking at these beautiful dancers, Donghu Khan was thinking about which ones to choose to serve him after eating and drinking enough.

And at this moment, the curtains of the big tent were lifted on both sides, and a soldier who was dusty and exhausted rushed into the big tent in a panic.

"Khan, it's over! All the 30,000 warriors who went south are gone!"

After the soldier rushed in, he staggered and knelt on the ground in front of Donghu Khan who was immersed in the dance and beauty, and also reported to Donghu Khan in a trembling voice with sadness.

Listening to the soldier's report, Donghu Khan's face suddenly changed.

"What did you say!"

Donghu Khan stood up from his seat in disbelief and shouted at the soldier who reported.

Seeing Donghu Khan suddenly rise, the dancing girls were frightened and stopped and retreated to the sides.
