I heard that when Ren Hong came with the head of the sage, Zhao Chongguo was eating on the edge of the battlefield of the Battle of Shiqi River."
General Pu, the subordinates lost their way and missed the schedule, and failed to catch up with the big war, they are guilty!"
Zhao Chongguo said with a smile: "Daoyuan, what are these words, you galloped three thousand miles to rescue Wusun, completed the order given to our army by the general, and did not rest, and braved the wind and snow to kill the north of Baishan to intercept the Hulu rout for me, what is the crime?"
”He looked at Ren Hong, more than two months of running around, so that the originally white-faced Xi'an Hou tanned a lot, and lost a lot of weight, looking extremely haggard, and then look at this bloodstain, when chasing and killing the sages Shan, he must have experienced a hard battle, right?
In fact, it was just the Huns who fell to the ground with Ren Hong's sword, and the blood splashed when he beheaded the sage.When Ren Hong crossed the Alashan Pass and chased after him, his subordinates Yang Yun, Xin Wuxian, Han Kangdang, Zhang Yaoli and others had already contacted Zhao Chongguo's forwards, and Yang Yun handed over the military merit booklet written on the special paper of the secretary of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to the army.Therefore, Zhao Chongguo is very clear about Ren Hong's contributions, and he can't count them carefully, so he is shocked.The Black Gobi beheaded hundreds in the first battle and killed the plough prince who "surrendered by fraud".The Che Shi fought a strange soldier and flew up the wall and captured the Che Shi King alive.In the first battle of Yanqi, he annihilated 3,000 Hun chariot divisions and killed three thousand cavalry commanders.In the first battle of the Kaidu Water Grassland, the Huns were beheaded by the Huns, and the long Wuchan curtain beard was beheaded, and thousands of prisoners were killed.In the first battle of Atami Mountain Pass, he beheaded the Marquis of Huhu and beheaded thousands of Wusun people.In the battle of Chigu Castle, more than 10,000 people were beheaded, more than 20,000 were captured, and nine rebel marquis were captured.Finally, there was yesterday's interception and pursuit.Let's put it this way, the seven battles add up, and they can compete with the results of Huo Hucai's victory in the Battle of Hexi.It is not an exaggeration to blow a "seven battles and seven victories".Not to mention that Ren Hong also brought the heads of the Right Valley Liwang Xianxian Shan and Lu Tuwang!
In the battle of Hexi, not only did Huo Qu seal 5,000 households, but among the lieutenants under his command, he also sealed three lieutenants in one go, and under Ren Hong, how many lieutenants will there be?
How many Kannaihou?
Of course, Zhao Chongguo will not be as jealous of Ren Hong as his son Zhao Wei, the general will win a great victory, and the main general will also have the merit of commanding, when the court historian records this war that completely changed the situation in the Western Regions, his name Zhao Chongguo must be ranked in front of Ren Hong.Ren Hong is a good man and is very humble: "It's just a fluke, if it weren't for the general who attracted the main force of the Huns in the front, how could the kid take advantage of the situation?"
”"General Pu ploughed his court and swept his hole in the right place, the rhubarb crossbow and three arrows set the Tianshan Mountain, and broke the Huns 80,000 horsemen between talking and laughing, and there was no such great victory in self-defense and Huo Hou, which is a great achievement in the annals of history."
Blow, and he will blow hard.Zhao Chongguo shook his head: "It seems to be a victory, but in fact, most of the Huns fled, and there was not much success, it's a pity." ”Even so, the accumulation of beheadings is enough for Zhao Chongguo to produce several Guannehou under his command, such as his own son Zhao Wei, and the beheadings are barely enough to pass the line.The only problem is Xin Wuxian, according to the accumulation of beheading, he sealed the Hou Ying is also a certainty, but after the war, there was a stubble.When Yang Yun handed over the military merit book, he also sued Xin Wuxian in front of Zhao Guanghan by the way, and the private minister failed to award the first rank, so he wanted to coerce and snatch his son's military merits, and beat Yang Yun who admonished him, which was extremely bad in nature, if it were not for Zhao Chongguo's refusal, Zhao Guanghan even wanted to personally lead someone to arrest Xin Wuxian for interrogation."
Now it's just Yang Yun's words, the Han rules the world with filial piety, and it's not good for Xin Qingji to provide testimony, so don't ask for the time being, and go back to Senei."
Unlike Xin Wuxian, who thinks that Zhao Chongguo is targeting him everywhere, General Pu is actually very kind to him, and he only writes it down and reports it, and his merits and demerits are handed over to the general and the two governments to decide.Although Ren Hong always felt that Yang Yun was beaten because he had a bad mouth and said something that should not be said, as a general, regardless of whether his subordinates were right or wrong, it was necessary to protect his shortcomings."
Our army is about to collect its troops and return to the east, and I only hope that the strong crossbow general will pursue the right Xianwang and make some gains."
Zhao Chongguo is indeed not a greedy person, and the fat sheep of the Right Xian King was even given to Han Zeng to chase, and they raced north along the east bank of Abby Lake, and after passing through the Gobi, they went to the Tacheng area of Xinjiang in later generations.And Han Zeng and Zhao Chongguo agreed that after chasing hundreds of miles, regardless of whether they were captured or not, they would retreat and turn around in Wusun City, Xinjiang."
Will Daoyuan go east with me, or will he go back to Wusun?"
From this time Atami had to walk another 1,800 miles, Ren Hong really didn't want to go against the winter wind and snow again, so he still followed Zhao Chongguo to return east along the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, so he expressed his willingness to lead the army back.This night, Xiliang Tieqi held another commendation meeting, and both individual and collective credit were obtained by Hexi Qu, but Xin Qingji's Longxi Qu also won King Lu Tu, but it is a pity that the other two songs caught up with small fish and shrimp.The war of the first army of Pu is basically over, there is no enemy in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, the soldiers laughed and laughed, but unfortunately there was no alcohol, and finally Han Dangdang took out the captured mare's milk wine and asked who dared to drink.As a result, that night, the soldiers who had drunk the mare's milk wine kept running out of the tent with their bare buttocks, fattening the barren land.Since the expedition, Ren Hong has never slept as sweetly as tonight, don't worry about the safety of the princess, don't worry about how many miles the army can travel tomorrow, what trouble will it encounter, and then just take the Erlang to follow Zhao Chongguo into the fortress, today is the first day of November, I don't know if I can go back to Dunhuang for the New Year?
He really wanted to go back to Hanging Springs.It's just that in the dream, Ren Hong felt as if he had forgotten something.It wasn't until the next day when he saw the strange mount that he patted his head and remembered what he had forgotten."
Oops!
My horse is still in Akita Castle!
”"Turnip, turnip, I'm sorry for you, why did you forget?"
Since he had returned to the team, he couldn't regret it, so Ren Hong could only send scouts to Chigu Castle to report the news, and then ask Fu Jiezi Chang Hui, who was going to stay in Atami this winter, to bring radishes to Dunhuang next year.In this way, full of shame, Ren Hong and Xiliang Tieqi arrived at the evil division with the army, which is also the Wusu City of the later generations, but there is no fatal Wusu here, only the moist Tiangu valley as far as the eye can see, the captain of Kong Zhang with the baggage troops of the Han army stayed here, and the wounded and sick who fell behind also recuperated here, seeing the return of the army, he unceremoniously killed cattle and slaughtered sheep and entrusted Wu Zongnian to lead the way, and they captured millions of cattle and sheep at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains!
This number is not surprising, the Xiongnu had at least 30,000 tents at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and an average of 30 cattle and sheep per tent is considered rare.When the people heard the news in advance, they rode a lot of horses, but the cattle and sheep did not have time to drive away, and only cheapened the Han army.Therefore, the Han army can let go of their stomachs and eat meat, rely on them to replenish the hungry stomachs of the long-term war expedition, and survive this cold winter.It was also here that Ren Hong saw Wu Zongnian, who had been absent for four years, Wu Zongnian had just recovered from a serious illness, his shape was stiff, and his hair had fallen a lot, and the deputy envoy who was polite and full of brilliance had completely lost his shape.He had already broken his backbone and surrendered to the Xiongnu, until Ren Hong's letter, that sentence hit the hidden thoughts in Wu Zongnian's heart, so he embarked on this lonely road, cautiously, and paid a lot of price, but Wu Zongnian did not regret it, and did not want to regret it.Ren Hong has heard from Zhao Chongguo about what happened to Wu Zongnian, Hu's wife and little daughter died in the rebellion, and they had to take a three-year-old child with them.This time, it was not mare's milk wine, but "liquor".After the arrival of the Han army, in the face of wheat in several granaries, the baggage troops were faced with two choices: grinding flour to make grain, or making wine?
Although the mainstream liquor in the Central Plains was to make various types of rice sake from millet, millet and rice, there were also malt brewers, and the method of making tillering malt was quite mature, but the brewing technique was different from that of later beers.Therefore, the taste of the liquor is different from that of beer, it is sweet and has a very low degree, and it can be drunk as water.The grain officer risked his life to admonish Zhao Chongguo, saying that the soldiers would probably have to spend this winter north of the Tianshan Mountains, and that compared to the wheat food that most people still don't like to eat, wine can boost morale more.So Zhao Chongguo was as good as a stream, and chose the latter, and the consequences of returning from the victory came in handy.In Ren Hong's view, there is no superiority or inferiority in wine, whether it is sweet wine, bitter wine, strong wine, light wine, different classes and tastes can find the most suitable for themselves on different occasions.But Li is obviously not suitable for old friends to meet in winter, it is really colder and colder the more you drink, and it is easy to diuretic, Han Dangdang has already run out several times, and everyone laughed at him for looking strong, but in fact, his waist is not good.Talking and laughing, it seems to have returned to the past, everyone followed Fu Jiezi into the desert, crossed the white dragon pile, and Yu Loulan killed An Gui and then set up wine to celebrate.Ren Hong nodded to Han Dang, who got up again to shout, and said: "That night, Lao Han and Sun Wan were not right, at that time, Sun Shiwan went to find Hu Nu to be happy, and came back to boast that he slept with three Loulan prostitutes at a time, no wonder it is not good now." ”Wu Zongnian also sighed: "Four years ago, when he first entered the Western Regions, and now he has taken it all, the thirty-six states have bowed down to the Han Dynasty, the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains are determined, and even Wusun is willing to be the princes of the Han Dynasty, and the Han princess is the queen mother of the dynasty, which is really unexpected, this is the work of Fu Gong and the Marquis of Xi'an." ”Ren Hong patted Wu Zongnian: "You also have a share of the credit." ”Wu Zongnian shook his head with a wry smile: "It's just that I did my best, and it's good to be able to atone for my sins." ”The merit of the guide will indeed not have much merit, because Wu Zongnian did surrender to the Huns, regardless of whether it is true or false, the ministers are at a loss, in the eyes of the Han court, it is difficult to be set up as a typical book like Su Wu, and I am afraid that after going back, it will be a low-key promotion, give some gold silk, and that's it.But Ren Hong felt that Wu Zongnian was worth living a better life for the hardships he had suffered in the past few years.At the same time, he also remembered the little official Zhong who rescued Wu Zongnian from the knife of the Xin family.At this time, Han Dangdang came back, and while walking, he still tied his belt, and hurriedly said: "Junhou, when I just went out, I heard that the crossbow general is back!"
”"So fast?"
Ren Hong was stunned for a moment, it stands to reason that Han Zeng had to chase him out for hundreds of miles, why did they only reach the evil master on their front feet, and Han Zeng returned."
Has the crossbow general been captured?"
Han Dangdang shook his head: "No, it's more like returning empty-handed." ”Ren Hong breathed a sigh of relief, great!
The right valley Liwang Xianxian Shan that he cut is still the biggest head, and he will not be robbed of the limelight by others.And when Ren Hong arrived at Zhao Chongguo's tent and saw Han Zeng who had returned, he found that he had indeed run in vain.Han Zeng was explaining to Zhao Chongguo the reason for his futile return: "Soon after I chased through the desert with 10,000 light horses, I was about to catch up with the Right Xian King, but a group of men and horses came from afar, there were more than 10,000 horsemen, and I responded to the Right Xian King, and there were 30,000 people in the army.Could it be the Hujie people south of Jinshan!
”Hujie is a Xiongnu subject state, occupying the Irtysh River basin south of the Altai Mountains, is the ancestor of the Wuhu people, the species is different from the Xiongnu, but more like Wusun, generally high nose and deep eyes, animal husbandry and fishing coexist."
It is indeed the king of Hujie, protecting the back road of the Huns, and just saving the life of the right virtuous king."
Han Zeng was very regretful, but looked at Zhao Chongguo and said: "But in addition to Hu Jie, there is also an army that responds to the interception of the Right Xian King."
Unlike the scattered cavalry rangers in Hujie, their army is neat and arrayed, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, and secretly combining the art of war, it is they who forced back my forward!
I also saw a flag. ”"King Jiankun, Li Ling!""
It turned out that Li Shaoqing saved King Youxian, he was still alive, disappeared for many years, and after all, he was directly the enemy of the Han Dynasty" Zhao Chongguo read the name of this shameful son of the six counties, and sighed with emotion, the last time the Han interacted with Li Ling was in the first year of the first century, Huo Guang and Shangguan Ji, who were Li Ling's former friends, asked Su Wu to write a letter to Li Ling, persuading him to return to the Han Dynasty, but Li Ling refused.This is not over, Han Zeng said another thing to Ren Hong and Zhao Chongguo."
After Li Ling led the Jiankun army to meet the Youxian King and left, he sent a messenger to our army, but there was neither a simple letter nor a message, only that he was ordered by the king of Jiankun to beg me to go back to Dahan, Weng Sun guessed who the messenger was?"
Zhao Chongguo said: "Could it be other Han envoys like Wu Zongnian, who stayed in the Xiongnu?"
”Han Zeng shook his head and broke out a big gossip that only a few people such as Ren Hong and Chang Hui knew, but others had never heard of: "He claimed to be the son of Su Ziqing and Hu Nu during the Xiongnu period, named Su Tongguo!"
