He quickly went to help Zheng Yuxing and said: "General, you must not do this!"
Zheng Yuxing had guarded the northern border for decades and had a very high prestige in the army. Wouldn't it be a disgrace to him to kneel down? In front of such an old general, Liu Zheng naturally could not be trusted.
Zheng Yuxing stood up, his eyes already red: "Young master, I don't know, after today's battle, the Huns will not dare to invade the Central Plains again for five years! How many of my brothers' lives can be saved!"
"Thank you Mr. Liu!"
One hundred thousand troops, thank you again.
The sound echoed on the grassland and lingered for a long time.
Liu Zheng felt sad in his heart. Since ancient times, the Xiongnu intrusion has been a major disaster in the Central Plains. A disaster that cannot be completely eliminated, even if a victory is won this year, they will come again in a few years.
The fundamental reason is that there was too little food, social structure, and civilization development on the Xiongnu grasslands.
Of course, it is not really impossible to remove - if one day, the Central Plains can conquer the Xiongnu grassland, all this will be over.
But, for thousands of years, no one has been able to do it.
Liu Zheng sighed: "General Zheng is devoted to the country, and heaven and earth can learn from it. Zheng just happened at the right time, which is not good!"
The army of more than 100,000 people thanked them again before being shouted out by Zheng Yuxing.
Liu Zheng suddenly became a hero of the Liangzhou Army.
The prince Xie Fang looked at him with gloomy eyes. The third prince Xie Ling also had a calm smile on his face. In fact, he was probably full of all kinds of curse words in his heart.
Everyone is thinking of ways to win the hearts and minds of the people and the military.
But no one did it this time, so one state got the advantage?
After all, Xie Ling has a city government, and he also congratulates him. Prince Xie Fang couldn't help it, and said with a cold smile: "This victory at Rongshan Pass was achieved by the joint efforts of many forces. I will select a day to discuss merits and give rewards. I, the prince
I will ask you for credit!"
He laughed.
When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed and knelt down to worship the prince.
Xie Fang was very proud, glanced at Liu Zheng, and hummed slightly. It seemed that he had finally regained some face in the scene.
Liu Zheng couldn't laugh or cry.
The army set up camp, and the logistics troops brought all kinds of wine and meat, and they had a carnival for three days.
Liu Zheng was sitting in his tent, watching his generals eating and drinking happily. He was also very happy. It was normal not to drink during war. But after victory, of course he had to drink wine.
These days, the 200,000-strong army has not left and is staying at Ruogu Pass, which is the closest to the grassland, because everyone is waiting for the reward.
News of the great victory finally reached Beijing three days later.
The soldier in charge of communications at the post house in Jinghua worked hard all the way. He didn't drink water for a whole day, and he didn't care.
Obviously, despite the tense border war, Beijing is still blooming with flowers, and there are traders from all over the country, as well as Beijing people wearing brocade clothes. Occasionally there are a few teahouses, restaurants, and storytellers talking about the war with the Huns.
Anyway, they lose every year.
If they were defeated, the compensation would be extracted from the vassal kings and people from all over the country, and it would not have much impact on the people of Beijing. They were also used to defeats against the Huns.
"Failed again this year?"
"Haha, I heard that King Qin is already on his way to negotiate."
"Again compensation?"
"Drink, drink!"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the soldiers of the post house came running on horseback.
"Victory!"
"Great victory!"
"Victory at Rongshan Pass!"
"The Xiongnu army lost one hundred thousand people!"
He ran all the way, roaring with a hoarse voice, and his voice was full of unspeakable excitement.
"What?"
"What wins?"
"The Xiongnu army lost one hundred thousand?"
Everyone in Jinghua was dumbfounded. If this person hadn't been wearing the official post office clothes of the Longyan Dynasty and holding an undisguised flag to convey a message, they would have thought it was a joke or a dream!
"Victory!"
"Big victory!"
"Dragon flames are mighty!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Many people rushed to the streets and cried with joy. After all, they are all Longyan people. They are usually numb because they really can't beat them. In fact, who doesn't want the Longyan Dynasty to win, and who doesn't want the country to be strong?
Several old men were even in tears. They walked to the street and hugged each other and cried.
