Chapter 218 Gradually expanding
When Huyanmo appeared in front of the military ministers with more than a thousand surviving Hun children, the anger that had dissipated in the hearts of the military ministers revived.
"What the hell is going on with Huyanmo?"
The military minister almost roared at Huyanmo and asked.
With a sad expression on his face, Hu Yanmo turned over from the horse and half-kneeled in front of the military minister and said.
"Reporting to the Great Chanyu, these children are the only ones left in our tribe who were massacred by the Han cavalry."
When the military minister heard this, he almost fell off his horse. In the past few days, one thing after another unimaginable happened to the Huns under his command.
These things have become serious enough to threaten his dominance.
"Did the high priest also be killed by the Han people?"
Huyan shook his head dully.
“The high priest, he was taken away by the Han people.
The children said that the high priest stood up and admitted his identity in order to protect them from being killed, which saved the children. "
This is the fact that the military officials are most unwilling to accept. In his opinion, the best result is to kill the high priest of the Xiongnu by the Han people. Being captured alive is tantamount to adding humiliation to the Huns.
"Huyanmo, please comfort these children, in the future they will all become eagles on the grassland, avenging their parents and grandparents.
Yu Dan, you bring a large army back to Langjuxu Mountain immediately and move all the tribes to Longcheng.
Wolf Tutu, you led the people to set up the tent. I was a little tired and wanted to take a rest. "
At this moment, Yu Dan did not agree to the order of the military minister, but said to the military minister.
"Father, please let my son lead a cavalry to chase those Han Chinese cavalry, and my son will definitely bring all their heads to Dragon City to cast a Beijing Temple to comfort the souls of the dead."
The military minister frowned, trying not to get angry, he only hoped that all his subordinates were obedient soldiers, even his own son was no exception.
"Look at Dragon City, which has been burned into ruins by the fire, and even the smoke can no longer be seen, which means that the Han cavalry has been away for a day.
This place is only a thousand miles away from Yanmen County, and eight hundred miles away from Dai County. The cavalry can enter Han territory in a day's raid.
By the time you catch up, they will have already returned to the Great Wall. From now on, do less talking and do more watching and listening. "
Yu Shan felt frustrated at the military minister, then he lowered his head and said softly.
"Father was right. My son was also furious, so he was negligent."
The military minister nodded and said to Yu Shan.
"Go back to Langjuxu Mountain to move the tribe here. Our army's supplies are only enough for half a month."
"Yes."
Just as the military official said, even though they were driving the cattle, sheep and horses, Wei Qing and the others rushed all the way back to Dai County when the military official arrived in Longcheng.
Although he rushed back, at least he had to pass Qierucheng guarded by the captain in the middle of Daijun to say it was safe.
Therefore, the Qimen army did not slow down, and galloped all the way towards Qieru County.
He hurriedly and slowly arrived before dark, and Xue Ren took the lead and ran to Qieru County.
"Open the city gate quickly, we are the Han army."
The defenders on the city had long seen thousands of cavalry coming towards Qeru County, so the central captains had already put on their armor and stood ready on the city wall.
"I am Sima Wang Ye under the command of the Central Commandant. Whose subordinates are you?"
The official position of the captain of the central part is equal to Wei Qing's captain of cavalry, so Wang Ye, the commander of the army, is naturally on the same level as Gongsun Ao, and he is a general of a thousand stones.
But Xue Ren came back victorious, plus his wealth, so he didn't take this person seriously.
"I am Xue Ren, Marquis of the Qu Army of the Qimen Army. Our Qimen Army went deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu alone. Now we have killed thousands of thieves. Hurry up and open the city gate and let us go in and rest."
The army commander Wang Ye on the city wall and Li Zhi, the lieutenant of the central part, suddenly looked a little ugly, and a Qu Junhou was yelling in front of them now.
There are twenty Qu Junhous like Xue Ren under Li Zhi's hands.
Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan saw that Xue Ren couldn't open the city gate for a long time, so they led their troops forward.
"Why haven't Xue Ren and the others opened the city gate yet?"
Xue Ren patted his head and said without knowing why.
"General, I don't know. I have already reported the name of our Qimen army, but the people on the city wall are as silent as they are dumb."
Wei Qing looked up at the Han army on the wall of the city, and rode forward alone and shouted loudly at the city.
"I am Wei Qing, the general of the Qimen Army. Our army has entered the hinterland of the Huns to fight. The march has been exhausting. I hope that the general who has become the guard will open the city gate and let us enter the city to rest for a day. We will leave tomorrow morning. .”
Li Zhi and Wang Ye looked down the city one after another, and opened their mouths when they saw Wei Qing's words were sincere.
"I, the general, have heard of your name Wei Qing, but because you have been guarding the border and haven't had time to return to Chang'an, I didn't expect to meet you here."
When Xue Ren heard Li Zhi's reply, his dissatisfaction rose instantly, and he shouted to the city before Wei Qing.
"So you can talk, why didn't I let you open the city gate just now?"
Wei Qing immediately glared at Xue Ren when he heard Xue Ren say this.
"Shut up, Xue Ren."
Xue Ren didn't realize it all at once, shouldn't his own people be unanimous, and pointed to Li Zhi on the city wall.
"General, he provoked me first."
After Zhang Yuan listened, a bunch of black lines instantly appeared on his forehead.
"Li Jian tied this sand sculpture to me."
Li Jian had long been unhappy with Xue Ren. Hearing Zhang Yuan's words, he rubbed his hands together and laughed loudly. He took a hemp rope from his horse and ran over to Xue Ren.
Xue Ren still doesn't understand what happened, and keeps yelling.
"Chang Shi, I, Xue Ren, have offended you.
Ma De, didn't the grandson on the city wall provoke me first? "
"Take him down with me."
Zhang Yuan ignored Xue Ren's nonsense and directly ordered Li Jian.
Li Jian's martial arts is basically only inferior to Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao in the Qimen army, and it is easy to deal with Xue Ren.
Seeing that Xue Ren was taken away by Li Jian, Wei Qing was very sorry and hugged Li Zhi on the city wall.
"Excuse me, Li Duwei, it's because I didn't discipline well enough.
The boy just now is the son of Xue Ze, Marquis of Guangping, and he is used to being arrogant.
It's only been half a year since I dealt with him. I thought I'd subdued this kid, but I didn't expect to win the battle and return to the original. "
The guards stationed at the border have seen a lot of strange things, and occasionally when they are bored, they will make jokes about the dandies in Chang'an City, and by the way, say a few sour words about why they don't have such a good life.
"It's okay, please General Wei Qing to present your seal letter for the general to take a look at."
As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, a hanging basket was lowered from the city wall.
The rules were so, Wei Qing didn't have any objection, took out the seal from his bosom and put it in the hanging basket.
Immediately, the soldiers on the city wall pulled up the basket. Li Zhi took a serious look at it and then gave the order.
"Open the gate."
