The bloody storm

The bloody storm

When Guo Kai pursued the Sun Chaser King, Zhang Yue also led six thousand Han cavalry to pursue General Zuo who was fleeing to the north.

The Han army pursued them non-stop, and the Huns ran non-stop.

The Han army pursued from Tianshan to Jinshan before catching up with General Zuo's troops.

General Zuo was unwilling to surrender. When he found that he could not escape, he gritted his teeth and decided to fight.

At this time, both the Han and Hungarian armies were exhausted.

Zhang Yue commanded the Han army to launch a tentative attack, but the Huns, who fought against the odds, showed great fighting power.

In addition, the Huns had geographical advantages, so the Han army did not take much advantage.

After Zhang Yue thought about it for a while, he changed his tactics.

He decided to adopt the tactic of large-scale encirclement and encirclement.

He led part of his own army to continue the frontal attack to attract the attention of the Huns.

On the other hand, the Han army went north for more than 20 miles and went around to the rear of the Huns.

This roundabout strategy of encirclement was very successful.

The Huns under General Zuo were beaten to the point of howling like ghosts and wolves by the Han army attacking from two sides. The Huns, who had nowhere to escape, had to kneel down and surrender.

General Zuo, who did not want to be humiliated, chose to kill himself with his sword.

At this time, a massacre began, and the Han army was unable to escort so many Xiongnu prisoners back.

The best way to deal with it is to kill all these Huns.

The massacre lasted for three hours before it ended.

Seven thousand Huns were killed by the Han army in a valley at the foot of Jinshan Mountain, and their bodies were cast into Jingguan by the Han army.

After defeating General Zuo, the Han army was exhausted and most of its weapons were damaged.

Therefore, Zhang Yue did not stay too long, but after a short rest, he led his troops back.

Naturally, Zhang Yue would not let go of the Xiongnu tribe he encountered on his way back and massacred them all.

Their horses, cattle and sheep were the spoils of war for the Han army.

Five days later, when Zhang Yue's army returned to Bilu, the army already had more than 20,000 horses and more than 100,000 cattle and sheep.

…

When the news of the tragic defeat of Alan Village reached the ears of King Youxian.

King Youxian was fighting with Han Jiang's troops. When he heard the news of the disastrous defeat, King Youxian suddenly stood up.

"puff"

Before he could speak, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fainted immediately.

King Youxian's coma caused the Huns to panic and hurriedly retreated to the north.

Han Jiang took advantage of the situation and counterattacked, and the gains were not small.

When King Youxian woke up, he found that he was already lying in the felt tent in the royal court.

"How is General Zuo...how is the Han army..."

After King Youxian woke up, the first thing he asked about was the current situation.

Everyone around him looked at each other in shock, and no one dared to tell King Youxian the real situation.

"I'm so deaf when I talk..."

King Youxian cursed angrily.

At this time Captain Zuo bravely stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the entire army of General Zuo was wiped out and was built as a capital by the Han army..."

King Youxian only felt that his eyes were going black. He endured the physical discomfort and asked, "Where are the other ministries?"

"The Richu King's tribe surrendered to the Han army, the remaining six tribes lost more than 30,000 cavalry, and less than 10,000 cavalry fled back to each tribe..."

When King Youxian heard this, he shouted and fainted again.

The victorious Han army was also unyielding. After more than ten days of rest and recuperation,

Zhao Guanghan, Guo Kai, Han Jiang, and Zhao Yi, under Zhang Yue's order, each led a cavalry and attacked again to sweep away the Xiongnu tribes on the Han-Hungarian border.

In just half a month, more than 20 tribes, large and small, were massacred by the Han army.

The tribes on the right side of the Xiongnu were forced to speed up their westward migration.

…

When Zhang Yue and the Huns were hunting the Tianshan Mountains, a bloody storm also began in Chang'an City.

In November of the first year of Zhenghe, Gongsun Jingsheng did not abide by the law and used 19 million military funds of the Northern Army without authorization. After the incident was exposed, he was arrested and imprisoned.

Gongsun Jingsheng's father, Prime Minister Gongsun He, was uneasy.

At the court meeting that day, the emperor was furious after receiving the report from Xiuyi's messenger.

"Who is this Zhu Anshi, who dares to openly assassinate our great Han lords..."

"Your Majesty, this Zhu Anshi, who calls himself Yangling Hero, is actually just a knight-errant..."

"Haha, that little ranger dared to openly assassinate the princes of the Han Dynasty. He should be punished for his crime..."

Gongsun He was thinking about how to regain the emperor's trust, but when he heard this, he went out of his way to

"Your Majesty, please arrest Zhu Anshi..."

The emperor looked at Gongsun He and said, "The Prime Minister is actually willing to do these small things..."

Gongsun He bowed and said, "What your Majesty has told you is not a trivial matter..."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "In this case, I will leave this matter to the prime minister..."

Gongsun He said with a smile on his face, "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Gongsun He had been in contact with Zhu Anshi from the beginning, but he did it deliberately and unintentionally.

Zhu Anshi's hiding spot was quickly found by Gongsun He.

Facing Gongsun He who came to arrest him, Zhu Anshi didn't have much fear.

"Is the Prime Minister going to kill the donkey?"

Gongsun He sighed, "Zhu Anshi, you are so bold...you dare to assassinate the princes..."

Zhu Anshi smiled and said, "Maybe the Prime Minister will let him go?"

Gongsun He shook his head, "Your Majesty is going to kill you this time... No one can save you..."

Zhu Anshi smiled and said, "The Prime Minister really can't be lenient?"

Gongsun congratulated, "Zhu Anshi, you can go with peace of mind..."

Zhu Anshi looked solemn, "Prime Minister, aren't you afraid that the fish will die and the net will be broken?"

Gongsun He smiled and said, "You dare to threaten the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty when you are about to die. You are indeed a madman..."

After Gongsun congratulated him, he stopped paying attention to Zhu Anshi. In his eyes, Zhu Anshi was just a dead man.

After Gongsun He left, Zhu Anshi was quickly imprisoned in Tingwei Prison.

That night Xiuyi's envoy Jiang Chong quietly entered the prison of Tingwei Mansion.

Three days later, a copy of Zhu Anshi's report against Gongsun He and his son arrived at the emperor's desk.

"Damn it, damn it..."

In the announcement room, the emperor was furious after reading the report.

"Let Lieutenant Ting come to see me..."

"promise"

Half an hour later, Ting Wei hurried to the announcement room.

"Edict, Prime Minister Gongsun He and his son, illegal... order to be sent to Tingwei Prison..."

Before Tingwei could speak, the emperor had already issued an edict.

Wei Ting was shocked, but he still hurriedly bowed.

"I respectfully obey the imperial edict!"

The emperor's anger had subsided a little by now.

He nodded and said, "Tingwei, I will leave this matter to you. I must investigate it thoroughly..."

"promise!"

…

"Gongsun He, it would be better for you to explain it earlier, so as not to suffer more flesh and blood..."

Gongsun He looked at his son who had changed into a human form and several retainers who were imprisoned together with a sad look on his face.

Then he sighed again, "If you want me to die, I have to die...that's all..."

At this time, Na Tingwei said, "Gongsun He, how about it? Have you thought about it all?"

Gongsun He nodded, "My father and son are also responsible for themselves. Whatever you want, just bring it..."

Na Tingwei laughed and said, "Let him sign it!"

At this time, a jailer took out a blank silk book and placed it in front of Gongsun He.

Gongsun He, who was completely desperate, didn't think much and immediately signed and stamped the silk book.
