The barbarian prince Aoyang still ran away, but he took away less than 3,000 barbarian soldiers.
"It's a pity that the big shot of Barbarian Dog escaped." Du Xuan felt a little regretful.
Du Changgeng laughed heartily: "This may be the best result. Let's not talk about whether we can keep this big shot of Barbarian Dog. Even if we can retain him, it may not be a good thing for our Chiyang Guards. Barbarian Dog ate it.
If we lose the battle, this so-called big shot will be useless when he goes back. But if we kill him, the Golden Crow Barbarian Dogs will fight us desperately. I know that this big shot, who has been fighting with me for many years, is the prince of the barbarians.
At that time, I sent a letter of persuasion to surrender. This old dog has fought with me countless times, and no one can take advantage of it every time. This time, I, Du Jiajun, finally have the upper hand. Haha."
Speaking of this, Du Changgeng continued: "This old dog is not weak. He is an innate warrior. The commander Lakshen under him should also be innate. Plus the warlock, there are three people who are difficult to deal with. If
If we force them to a dead end, they will definitely fight us tooth and nail. We, the Chiyang Guards, have already fought hard enough. If we use up all the money we have, the Chiyang Guards will be doomed sooner or later."
Du Xuan naturally understood these truths, but he still felt regretful in his heart. He nodded and asked about things in Chiyang City: "How is your mother?"
Du Changgeng nodded: "Everything is fine. Clean up the battlefield and go home to have a look. You haven't been home for almost a year. Your mother misses you very much."
"Brother, how are the conditions of second brother and the others?" Du Xuan then asked.
"Chiyang Pass should be safe. As long as Chiyang City is not broken, Chiyang Pass will be easy to defend but difficult to attack, and barbarian dogs will not make a fuss about Chiyang Pass. Your eldest brother can advance and retreat freely at Shiqiao Qianhu Residence. Although the rebels are coming fiercely,
But the real threat is the barbarian dog." Du Changgeng said.
"If the rebels were so easy to deal with, the imperial court should have sent troops to quell it long ago. However, the Eryang Rebellion has continued to this day and is still getting more and more intense, which shows that the imperial court is now divided between left and right. If this continues, it will be very dangerous." Du Xuan said with some worry.
"It's up to the adults in the court to worry about these important affairs of the court. Let's take good care of the Chiyang Guards." Du Changgeng stopped Du Xuan from continuing. The court's spies are all over Daqi, and the content of the private conversation between the father and son may not be revealed for a long time.
, it spread to the ears of some people. If someone takes advantage of it, one bad move may bring disaster to the Du family. Although the court's control is now reduced, who knows that after the court quelled the civil strife,
, will there be a reckoning later?
In fact, Du Changgeng knew that this kind of worry was actually unnecessary. After all, the Du family had already violated taboos in many aspects. For example, the military strength of Chiyang City had long exceeded the limit that he could have as a guard commander. Now Du Xuan can have one hundred households.
With thousands of cavalry, he naturally far exceeded the limit. Du Changgeng was not very worried about this. As long as Du Changgeng had a large army, the court would not dare to do anything to him, a border general.
"What's the current situation at Black Bear Castle?" Du Changgeng asked.
"It's almost winter now. All the crops in the fields have been harvested, and there is enough food. But the population has increased too much at once, and the meat supply is a little tight. All the wild beasts in the nearby mountains and forests are almost hunted down." Du Xuan said with a smile.
"In troubled times, it's good to be able to fill your stomach." Du Changgeng said.
Du Changgeng actually wanted to ask Du Xuan about the dragon-scale horse, but he was worried that Du Xuan thought he was interested in the dragon-scale horse, so he couldn't say anything. In fact, he really wanted to ask about the dragon-scale horse. This dragon-scale horse cavalry
It's really easy to use. Du Changgeng can see that many of Du Xuan's dragon-scaled horse cavalry are not even warriors. But the strength of the dragon-scaled horse cavalry battalion is obviously greater than that of his guard battalion. If all his guard battalions are equipped
I don’t know how much the dragon scale horse’s strength will be improved.
There were scenes of celebration everywhere in Chiyang City.
In Du Mansion, everyone was busy from top to bottom, and the courtyard was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, like a grand festival.
Luo Xifeng was busy preparing food and drinks. Du Changgeng, who had won the battle, was about to return home with his escort battalion. She led everyone in the Du family to prepare a sumptuous celebration banquet. What made Luo Xifeng most happy was that Du An sent back the news.
The younger son Du Xuan is back. It was Du Xuan who saved Chiyang City.
Luo Xifeng felt that her doting on this younger son was indeed justified, and she would have to scold Lao Du later.
Zhang Guiying, the martyr's widow who was brought home by Luo Xifeng, looked sluggish, obviously not recovering from the grief of losing her husband. The little boy was named Chen Jiadong. He was innocent and had no idea what life and death meant. He thought his father was just another person.
I fell asleep. After arriving at Du Fu, I ate some desserts and then happily played with the children in Du Fu.
"Guiying, don't worry. After settling down at home, I will send someone to help you take care of your husband's funeral. Not only your husband's family, but also the soldiers and civilians who died this time will be properly buried."
Luo Xifeng said.
"Madam, I'm so sorry. I won the battle and should celebrate it. I shouldn't have affected Madam's mood." Zhang Guiying felt guilty.
"Look at what you said? This victory was won by the sacrifice of the soldiers' lives. So many people died in Chiyang City, who is not sad? But this time I finally defeated the barbarian dog, so it's time to take it easy
Celebrate." Luo Xifeng couldn't help but sigh. As the wife of the commander of the guards, how could he not know how many soldiers and civilians died in this battle?
Du An rushed in happily: "Madam, general, the third young master has returned home!"
"Quick, quick, go and greet him!" Luo Xifeng patted Zhang Guiying on the shoulder and walked out quickly.
Naturally, Du Xuan did not bring the two thousand dragon scale horse cavalry battalion into Chiyang City, but only brought a few guards. The rest stayed outside the city. Although most of the barbarians had been wiped out, there were still a certain number
The barbarian soldiers broke into the surrounding mountains and forests and hid. If they are not cleared away, they will definitely become potential hidden dangers. These barbarian dogs are extremely ferocious and can do any animal behavior.
Du Xuan's guards all rode dragon-scaled horses, and they were even more impressive than Du Changgeng's guards. Du Changgeng's guards looked at Du Xuan's guards and were extremely jealous. However, they were all members of the Du family army.
There was no unhappiness at all. Having just gained such a great victory, everyone in the Du Jiajun was in an extremely good mood.
"Third son, third son. You brat, you are finally willing to come back." Luo Xifeng rushed out angrily. As soon as he saw Du Xuan, he pounced on him and grabbed his ears.
"Mother, I am now the one who leads soldiers in wars. If you pull my ears in front of my soldiers, isn't this affecting my dignity?" Du Xuan apologized quickly.
Luo Xifeng chuckled: "Even if you become a general, you are still my son, Luo Xifeng. Should I pull your ears?"
