As Wei Qing's three groups went deeper, the number of Xiongnu groups they encountered along the way had been reduced, and they didn't even encounter them again.
The Huns are not fools, but even so, Wei Qing and others wiped out more than 6,000 people and more than 5,000 horses.
Wei Qing knew how to give up when he was ready, because if he continued to go deeper, the Huns might send a large number of troops to fight, which would be of no benefit to Wei Qing's side.
So Wei Qing decisively retreated and returned to Yanmen, where he stationed himself.
On the other side, Dragon City, the Holy Land of Altar.
Shanyu, the military minister, was already aware of the actions of Wei Qing and others.
"Damn it, Wei Qing is so restless again."
The military minister Shan Yu was very angry.
He had already sent Yizhixie to grab a large amount of grain, but he did not want to send troops this winter and wanted to have a good rest.
"My brother and I are willing to lead the troops to strangle Wei Qing's troops," Yi Zhixie stood up and said.
I saw the military minister Chanyu waving his hands and saying: "Forget it, according to the latest news, Wei Qing and others have returned to Han Dynasty and are stationed in Yanmen.
It is winter now.
Even if the soldiers rush over, it will be difficult to attack the city.
Winter consumes a lot of food, and we have insufficient logistics resources.
Even if If you go, you won't get any benefits, so you might as well endure it for the time being.
When spring starts and the ice and snow melt, it's not too late to take revenge.
I want the Han Dynasty to know how powerful my Huns are," the military minister Shan Yu said sternly.
"Brother Chen understands."
Although Yi Zhixie was unhappy, she still had to listen to her brother's words.
Not to mention here, in Chang'an City, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty already knew the results of Wei Qing and others' victory.
Although there is no clear goal this time, as long as it causes huge killings to the Huns, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will feel happy.
Wei Qing and others were still stationed at Yanmen, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not rush to call them back to receive the reward, because he wanted to guard against the Huns' counterattack.
At the same time, he also began to make preparations.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty understood that next year would be the time for the two sides to start a large-scale war.
So we mobilized all the people and horses that could be mobilized.
Even Gongsun Ao, who was dismissed from office, was also activated.
After the official was reinstated, Gongsun Ao was still capable.
If it hadn't been for the purpose of setting up Li Guang, he wouldn't have been so unlucky.
After receiving the imperial edict, Gongsun Ao burst into tears of gratitude and suddenly felt full of fighting spirit.
And there was another person that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not forget.
Although Li Guang had a high prestige in the army, he still held a lot of military power at that time.
Now the military power has been divided up and is in the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is also preparing to use it this time.
Li Guang.
The euphemistic name is called meritorious service.
As long as brilliant results are obtained, it is not impossible to be reinstated.
Li Guang looked at the imperial edict in his hand, not knowing whether he was happy or disappointed.
He had no idea about the Han Dynasty.
He just wanted to let the people of the Han Dynasty live peacefully without worries during his lifetime.
So Li Guang received the order to come back, and the people in the army who supported Li Guang were immediately excited.
Especially Zuo Qianjun, the person who was promoted by Li Guang.
Looking at the less than 500 soldiers under his command, Zuo Qianjun's fighting spirit was high.
"Your Majesty has not forgotten General Li.
General Li is coming back.
This time we have to open up a way forward for General Li, so that General Li can make a grand return and let General Li regain his own glory," Zuo Qianjun said loudly.

"Follow General Lee to the death," the soldiers under his command shouted.
However, even if the two men were given orders, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not let them directly lead troops into battle.
He would still need to wait for Wei Qing to accumulate enough meritorious deeds.
Only in this way would Li Guang not affect Wei Qing's status.
Although Li Guang returned to the army, his current task is to train his troops to prepare for the next battle with the Huns.
Li Guang took this very lightly and lived in seclusion for almost a year.
Even though he was angry in his heart, his anger was gone now.
As long as he could join the army, Li Guang felt comfortable all over.
The feeling of leading troops in war was still very good for a military person. important, because one's own strength is closely related to it Time passed very quickly, and it was the second year of Yuanshuo in a blink of an eye.
At the beginning of the year, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty implemented the Tuien Order on a large scale and dispersed the power of the kingdom.
This laid a solid foundation for centralization of power.
At the same time, he sent his lord Fu Yan to serve as the Prime Minister of Qi and secretly observed the movements of the kingdom.
The Xiongnu were already prepared, so they began to invade the territory of the Han Dynasty on a large scale.
The main defensive lines of attack are Shanggu and Yuyang.
Because we know that Wei Qing and other troops have been stationed in Yanmen for a long time, the defense must be strong, so they can only find weak persimmons.
The Huns first invaded the western Liaoning region, which was a battleground for military strategists.
Although the governor of western Liaoning sent troops to resist, unfortunately the combat effectiveness was too low, and the Huns came again menacingly.
In the end, the governor of western Liaoning died in the battle.
Then the Huns transferred to Shanggu from the western Liaoning area and captured Shanggu.
The general of Yuyang is Han Anguo, a general with great military achievements.
His main achievement is to attack Yue.
Although there is no direct battle, it can make Yue people fear him, that is merit.
Unfortunately, this time, Han Anguo was defeated when he encountered a large army of Huns and fled directly.
So the Huns marched in, robbed a large amount of supplies, and also robbed more than 2,000 young and strong laborers, preparing to use them as slaves to work for the Huns.
The Huns moved very quickly.
When the news reached Chang'an, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew that all this would happen, but when it happened, he felt really uncomfortable.
So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used the flying eagle to send messages.
In this way, the order would be issued in a timely manner.
Orders were issued one after another, and 30,000 cavalry were mobilized to march towards the north.
These people were directly led by Wei Qing.
Li Guang, Gongsun Ao and others still did not make any moves and stayed in Chang'an to train soldiers.
Zuo Qianjun was also transferred to the north, but he felt very unsatisfied that his beloved General Li had no mission.
But he didn't say much.
He wanted to rely on his own efforts to find a smooth path in the army.
He did not do it for himself, but only paved the way for Li Guang's comeback.
After receiving the order, Wei Qing left Yanmen with five thousand cavalry and set out to attack the Xiongnu.
Chu Tianshu and Li Xi stayed behind at Yanmen, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
However, due to the limitation of numbers, Wei Qing did not go deep, but continued to attack small groups of troops encountered on the way, so as to make the Huns miserable.
Wei Qing's first target was Gaoque, which connected the communication between the Xiongnu royal court and the Hetao area.
Through roundabout tactics, five thousand people gradually disintegrated Gaoque's combat effectiveness and then eroded it.
This not only replenishes the material, but also gives the war horse a new look.
Gradually, Wei Qing came to the Hetao area, where two major Huns were stationed, the Aries King and the Loufan King.
This time Wei Qing used guerrilla tactics, hit and run, and did not confiscate materials.
Wei Qing arranged this to disturb the enemy.
Wei Qing did not want to do useless work.

He wanted to use this constant sneak attack and harassment to make the Huns uneasy.
As long as reinforcements arrived, then these two troops would not be a concern.
Wei Qing's tactics made King Aries and King Loufan very distressed, because Wei Qing was a ghost.
As long as his side sent a large number of troops, Wei Qing would flee far away.
When the large number of troops left, he started to attack again.
Gradually, Wei Qing would Both divisions lost between two and three thousand men.
In order to give full play to his advantage, Wei Qing stayed day and night.
Although his team also suffered losses, they were many times less than those of the Xiongnu.
Now there are only five to six hundred people reduced, but the remaining people are not afraid, because they are very happy in their hearts.
Such a battle, although there is no head-on confrontation, can achieve huge results at a small cost.
This is success.
After more than two months, the reinforcements finally arrived, but they were very tired because they had been on the road.
Chu Tianshu arranged for them to rest for a few days.
After they recovered, they went to reinforce Wei Qing.
When Wei Qing left, he mentioned his destination, which was the Hetao area, Aries King and Loufan King.
These two groups have been entrenched in the Hetao area for many years and have already started operations.
Most of the supplies of the Xiongnu Royal Court are transported through here.
Chu Tianshu and Bian Chongwu met Zuo Qianjun again.
Zuo Qianjun was now very indifferent to them.
Seeing this, Chu Tianshu had no intention of continuing their friendship.
After seven days, the team rested.
Then we got ready and set off towards the Hetao area.
