Chapter 1357 Begging for Peace (Debt Repayment 2/34)
At dusk, the sky is blood red.
A carrier pigeon flew into Li Guang's tent. An officer took off the piece of paper from the carrier pigeon's leg, and immediately shouted ecstatically: "General, general! Great victory! The general of chariots and cavalry has annihilated the Xiongnu army.
The Black Crow Army and the Forced Army! Annihilated all the enemies, beheaded tens of thousands, and left only a thousand remaining enemies fleeing in confusion..."
Hearing this, Li Guang suddenly stood up, equally excited.
"Good!" He was as happy as a child.
After this battle, it meant that the Huns would no longer be able to struggle.
The dawn of victory in the Han-Hungarian War has appeared.
Although I dare not say it, it is all accomplished in one battle.
But at least it was the prelude to the demise of the Hun Empire.
"Quickly, send someone to notify Jicheng and Yuyang!" Li Guang ordered immediately.
"No!" the officers responded happily.
No one needs to explain the significance of this battle, they also know what it means.
This means that the Han family dominates the world!
It also means that from now on, it will be an era when everyone makes great achievements and becomes king.
How big is the world?
There is no need for people to educate people, the legends spread among people are already known to people.
The known world, just the part of the Xiongnu Empire, was already huge.
There are tens of thousands of miles of grassland, thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, three thousand miles of rivers, the fertile Hexi Corridor, and the gurgling waters of Juyanze.
Also, in that legend, the land is filled with gold and flowing with milk and honey. It is said that as long as you lie down and bask in the sun, you can eat up the poison in your body.
All of this has opened its arms to the Han Dynasty and China.
"Western Expedition!"
Countless people cheered: "Western Expedition!"
In the early days of the Anton development, countless people became rich overnight. I can still vividly remember the situation.
Now, a new world that is far broader, richer, and more beautiful than Anton has opened its arms to the Han subjects.
Since the second year of Yuande, the new world advocated by the authorities has now been paved with smooth roads.
The biggest obstacle, the Huns, will no longer exist, at least no longer have the ability to stop China.
At this moment, everyone from generals and bureaucrats to soldiers and grooms.
Everyone's eyes were shining with inexplicable colors.
This is the desire for wealth.
This is the desire for land.
This is a hope for the future of future generations.
It is also a longing for a new era!
Countless people cheered.
Even the Huns heard this cheer.
"What happened to the Han Dynasty people?" King Xia frowned, and he said quickly: "Immediately prepare livestock and war horses for me and send them to the Han Dynasty camp. I want to know what happened?"
But the uneasiness and fear in his heart, like gangrene in his bones, made it difficult for him to feel at ease.
An hour later, when the Huns envoy brought 10,000 livestock and 500 horses, they entered the Han army camp again.
What he saw was a scene of joy.
Along the way, everyone was talking about a great victory, a glorious victory.
The messenger's hands and feet began to tremble, and his body began to feel cold.
No one knows better than the Huns the terrifying and powerful Xu Huan army.
But now, there is no doubt that this trump card of the Huns has probably been destroyed.
Just like Zhelan people...
If this is the case, it must have been the divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty who took action.
The envoy didn't know how Xu Huanjun died.
But he knew that once Xu Huan's army was destroyed, the fate of the Huns would really fall to the bottom.
Under the leadership of Han army officers, the envoy was welcomed to Li Guang.
By this time, it was completely dark.
Lanterns were also lit in the Han army's tent.
"General, are you too untrustworthy?" As soon as they met, the envoy asked: "Isn't your country a self-proclaimed country of etiquette? Why do you break the contract so easily?"
"Oh..." Li Guang chuckled and asked, "Why should I break the contract?"
"Your army, didn't you attack our army in Yaoyang?" The envoy was furious.
"So what?" Li Guang asked back: "Although I have not agreed to the ceasefire with your country, out of good intentions, I have ordered all ministries to stop advancing since the day before yesterday..."
"How come you can break the promise?"
The messenger was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
But he had no choice but to lower his head and say: "General, I have brought the livestock and war horses you want now. General, please keep your promise..."
"I will naturally keep my promise..." Li Guang said with a chuckle: "Envoy, please see, didn't I give the order to attack?"
"Please also ask your country to clear the road and let my lord and his army go out of the fortress..." There was no other way, so the envoy could only plead.
Now, when Xu Huan's army is suspected to have been defeated, the envoy knows very well that the only way for the Huns to survive is for the Han Dynasty to show their noble hands, otherwise...
In the Yuyang-Xixi area, in an area of hundreds of miles, of the 100,000 Huns cavalry, only 10,000 or 20,000 could return to the grassland.
The remaining people will all die here!
"This requires the approval of the Emperor of our country..." Li Guang said calmly: "I will immediately send people to work hard and ask the Holy Emperor to consider it... Please also ask the envoys and the Shanyu of your country to wait a moment..."
The envoy was so choked by Li Guang's words that he wanted to vomit blood.
From here to Chang'an, a round trip takes at least a month!
A month later, the Huns would have starved to death!
But what can he do?
All he could do was cry and beg: "General, please consider the decades of friendship between our two countries and please be accommodating..."
"My lord Shanyu has already agreed. If your country is willing to have a truce with our country, then I, the Xiongnu, are not only willing to marry the Yan family and the emperor of your country every year, but are also willing to cede Munan, Hejian Land, Gaolan Mountain, and even
Give it to your country in the Qilian Mountains..."
"I would rather pay tribute every year..."
"The annual tribute is five thousand pieces of gold, ten thousand war horses, one hundred thousand cattle and sheep..."
As he spoke, he bent down deeply and begged like a cuckoo weeping blood: "General, please agree!"
Li Guang listened but was unmoved.
Although he is a political idiot, he also understands that there is no room for him to discuss this kind of war and peace.
This is a matter between the emperor and the princes in the court!
Moreover, even if he dares to agree.
His subordinates will never agree!
Who will give up the military honors and titles they have obtained?
nobody!
But now, from Yuyang to Xixi, there are at least 100,000 heads, and dozens of noble titles are waving to everyone.
Who the hell dares to let the Huns go?
Aren't you afraid of being burned to ashes by the fury of hundreds of thousands of troops?
Anyway, Li Guang didn't dare.
When the envoy saw this, he lowered his voice and paid homage to Li Guang: "General, please consider..."
He raised his head, his eyes were burning, and he whispered: "Don't you hear that the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden, the lackeys are cooked, and the cunning rabbits are dead?"
"General, the story of your country Huaiyin, Yin Jian is in front..."
"Hahaha..." Li Guang stood up. How could he not understand what the Huns envoy said?
This is to make him respect himself as a bandit!
But the problem is...
Why raise bandits?
The world is so big, and apart from the Xiongnu, there are so many places that the Han army needs to conquer and civilize.
Why worry about not having enemies, why worry about not having martial arts? (To be continued.)
