The Huns' menacing attack retreated in despair. This was an unprecedented victory. With the power of high walls, thunder bombs and artillery, the Huns abandoned thousands of corpses and fled with more wounded.
Although it is not certain that the Huns will retreat to the desert from now on, at least it is true that they will never dare to peek at Yanmen Pass again.
Xie Baichuan drank a lot of wine. He didn't know where his helmet and armor had gone, so he could only laugh with disheveled hair. He took another big gulp of wine and touched a handful of the wine stuck to his beard and chest, shaking.
He came to Su Ren and raised his wine bowl high: "General, I can't say anything obedient. When you came to Yanmen, I was a hundred dissatisfied. I've been stationed in Dai County for eighteen years, and fought against the Huns.
I can't even fight hundreds of games, big and small. Watching Pao Ze die one by one makes me feel miserable!"
Saying that, Xie Baichuan actually cried like a child in public, and the atmosphere of the banquet was condensed. Xie Baichuan cried twice and stood up again: "I just thought, this child with no hair on his head actually dares to call "Xie Baichuan"
Military God, is Your Majesty confused? In such a huge decisive battle with the Xiongnu, instead of sending an experienced veteran, you send a stupid boy. Isn’t it enough that I, a big man, died?"
"Many times, I have wanted to write to Your Majesty, asking Your Majesty to replace you as a general!"
, I am willing to fight the Huns to the death with this old bone!"
Su Ren listened quietly, with a faint smile on his face. Everyone stopped drinking and chatting, all eyes were fixed on Su Ren and Xie Baichuan. They were so close to Su Ren that they wanted to go down now and beat up Xie Baichuan, an old fool.
During the last meal, everyone who was familiar with Xie Baichuan was worried about Xie Baichuan. They did not expect that Xie Baichuan would say such words. If Su Ren was angry and killed him immediately, no one would have anything to say.
"Hahaha..." Xie Baichuan burst into laughter: "But in today's battle, I admire the general very much. Not to mention how many Huns were killed and wounded, our total number of casualties was less than a thousand, so I was very pleased. The general was worried about Erlang.
He is a general worthy of being followed by his sons!"
He grabbed the unknown wine jar next to him, poured another bowl for himself, and raised it again. Xie Baichuan saluted Su Renshen: "I'd like to give you a bowl, General Hussar!"
Su Ren nodded slightly, picked up his wine bowl and touched it with Xie Baichuan, and Yang Bo drank it all in one gulp. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the lobby became high again. No matter how they viewed Su Ren in the past, just because of today's performance
After Zhan He and Su Ren's performance just now, the views of his generals, captains, and lieutenants towards Su Ren have changed a lot.
Han Qing had been observing silently, and took the opportunity to say to Su Ren: "In today's battle, sir, you have established real prestige, and there are no more constraints."
Su Ren said with a smile: "They are all heroes who have shed blood for the big man. If I start with a small belly and chicken intestines, people will laugh at me. Besides, am I a person with a small belly and chicken intestines? Just like Xie Baichuan just now, he was stationed in Daijun for eighteen years, and his four sons died in the battle.
, this alone is worthy of respect!”
"I don't know if it's Xiaodujichang, but I know that after today's battle, the Huns may not get up the spirit to attack Yanmen for a long time, and maybe they will..."
Su Ren glared at Han Qing: "If you have something to say, say it, and if you have something to say, let it go. I hate the way you talk half-heartedly."
Han Qing chuckled: "I'm worried that the Huns will retreat!"
Su Ren was stunned: "You mean, we used too much force this time and beat the Huns too hard?"
"is a bit."
Su Ren frowned and thought for a while, then nodded after a while: "It's really possible!" He turned to Huang Shisan and said, "Go and see if the scout is back, and bring him to me as soon as he comes back."
The banquet lasted almost all night. Except for the soldiers and officers who needed to be stationed, almost everyone in the Yanmen Pass garrison had a sip of wine. This was very rare in the military camp. What's more, it was still wartime, and drinking before battle was a taboo among military strategists.
This is something that cannot be tolerated by military law. This time, the military commander of General Su Ren was a man named Zhang Huazhi. This man seemed to pop out of thin air and appeared among the defenders of Yanmen for no reason.
Before leaving, Su Kai tactfully reminded Su Ren to be careful about Zhang Huazhi. Su Ren didn't take it to heart at that time, and since he came to Yanmen Pass, Army Sima Zhang Huazhi rarely appeared in front of Su Ren like a transparent person.
Even when he showed up, he sat aside without saying a word. Sometimes it made people feel that it was better not to have Su Ren's Army Sima, as it was of no use at all.
Zhang Huazhi ignored Su Ren's military affairs, which can be understood as not fighting for power with Su Ren. However, Zhang Huazhi didn't seem to have any interest in matters such as logistics support and armored soldier training that he needed to be responsible for. He hid in his room all day long.
No one knew what he was doing. Even if someone reported to the Army Sima, they would be blocked by the sergeant in front of the door and told to deal with Su Ren.
Today's battle with the Huns, Zhang Huazhi did not show up as usual, so Zhang Huazhi naturally did not attend the celebration banquet. Until the banquet was over, Zhang Huazhi appeared in front of Su Ren for the thirty-ninth time. Zhang Huazhi looked very unpleasant, with red and phoenix eyes.
Willow eyebrows are what a woman should have, plus a rosy nose and crooked corners of the mouth, creating a unique appearance.
Zhang Huazhi is not very old either. According to the personal information issued by the imperial court, he is less than 30 years old. However, the deep wrinkles on his face and the uncoordinated rough skin indicate that this person must have suffered hardships that are difficult for ordinary people to match.
"General, drinking during war should be done according to military law. I have ordered people to seal the hall and take away the spirits from the soldiers. I will also inform your majesty about this matter. I have no right to deal with the general, but those who drink will be
Lieutenants, captains and other soldiers each have twenty military sticks. This is the law of the military!" After Zhang Huazhi finished speaking, without waiting for Su Ren's reply, he ordered the firing squad behind him to begin execution.
Xie Baichuan drank the most, so he was even more drunk. When he found out that his pants had been taken off, the old man felt that something was wrong. Before he could shout out, he received a heavy blow on the buttocks. Twenty army sticks are not a lot.
, but who has seen thousands of people being beaten together? Some people are strong-willed and remain silent, while some people howl like pigs even if they are hit on the buttocks with a stick.
Listening to the crackling noise, Su Ren suddenly lost all thoughts of pleading, and just looked at Zhang Huazhi coldly. Zhang Huazhi saluted again: "General Hussar, if you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can write to your majesty. If your majesty feels that I will deal with it."
If you do not use your power improperly or without authority, I am willing to obey the law."
"Hmph! You did the right thing! As Sima, you have this right!" Su Ren snorted coldly, stood up and left the lobby.
Han Qing did not belong to the garrison, and Huang Shisan and Man Niu did not drink, so they were naturally not within the scope of Zhang Huazhi's management. Seeing Su Ren leaving, the three of them quickly followed. Before leaving the lobby, Su Ren said loudly:
"Send someone to investigate and find out where this guy came from. I want to see who the military commander sent by His Majesty is! In addition, send someone to keep an eye on him. If there is even the slightest mistake, he will be killed immediately without reporting!"
Huang Shisan and Manniu hurriedly promised, but Han Qing turned his head and glanced at Zhang Huazhi, with more confusion than amusement and sympathy in his eyes.
After finally winning a big victory, Zhang Huazhi completely destroyed the entire atmosphere. After this incident, Su Ren began to think about Liu Che's purpose of sending Zhang Huazhi to be his Army Sima. Monitoring, this is one of the responsibilities of the Army Sima. Checks and balances, starting from Zhang Huazhi's past
Judging from his performance, there are no substantive actions to prove this. Then only investigation is left. Doesn't Liu Che fully believe in Su Ren until now? Su Ren's heart is a little cold.
Han Qing poured a glass of water for Su Ren: "Sir, don't worry, your Majesty is not the first to create the Army Sima. They have had the same official position in the previous dynasties. You, sir, are leading a large army. As an emperor, you will never feel at ease. To put it bluntly, if the general is...
Your Majesty, are you suspicious of your generals?"
"Haha." Han Qing smiled: "Sir's origins are strange. As far as I know, the whole Han Dynasty is circulating unofficial histories about him, and the versions are strange and have many myths and legends, especially after passing by the Nanyue people, the Western Regions people, and the Huns.
After being adapted by humans, it becomes even more otherworldly! Among the three strategies of heaven and man that Dong Zhongshu presented to your majesty, the divine right of kings was declared as truth by your majesty. Since you are a god-like existence, your majesty may not feel too comfortable."
Han Qing waved his hand and signaled Su Ren to let him finish: "However, whether it is surveillance or investigation, there is absolutely no need for Zhang Huazhi to come out like this. Today Zhang Huazhi suddenly launched an attack. There must be some hidden secrets in this. Army Sima is the most trusted by your majesty."
People, so I think there must be changes in Chang'an, or it is unknown whether His Majesty sent a secret order to Zhang Huazhi!"
"Chang'an?"
Han Qing nodded: "Last time Tiangang Disha confirmed that Luan Da's younger brother is pretending to be Luan Da to stay with His Majesty. If something goes wrong, this person may be the cause of the problem."
Su Ren thought for a long time, sitting quietly for a while and tapping his fingers on the back of the chair to make a rhythmic sound. Han Qing did not continue and motioned to Huang Shisan and Man Niu to go out with him.
Su Ren had been waiting for news from the scouts until the fish belly white appeared in the east, and the scouts finally came back. Huang Shisan hurriedly led the scouts to report to Su Ren. Su Ren carefully asked the scouts about the situation of the Xiongnu camp. From the surface,
Look, the Huns not only have no intention of retreating, but are sharpening their swords and are quite determined to fight again in the future. According to the news from the scouts, the lights in the Huns camp stayed up all night, and there were more patrols coming and going than before.
Double.
After the scouts finished their report, Han Qing and Su Ren looked at each other. Han Qing said: "The Huns are really cunning, they will definitely run away!"
Su Ren smiled: "Run? How can it be that easy? We started this battle first, and it was not easy to gather the Huns together. How can we let them leave just as they say? Go, call those guys with messy butts over,
Zhang Huazhi will settle his accounts slowly in the future, as the big things at hand are important!" (To be continued)
