【117】Official Restoration
After King Wuheng was killed, the morale of the Huns fell sharply, and Yu Shaoqing used King Wuheng's body to lure them back hundreds of miles.
But we can't take it lightly because of this. After all, there are 100,000 Huns troops stationed in the Northwest camp, and it is easy to counterattack them.
Although the death of King Wuheng temporarily solved the urgent problem, it also brought about a greater crisis. The Huns would inevitably avenge King Wuheng at all costs.
I can no longer face the Huns...
"How long will it take to dig the canyon?" Yu Shaoqing asked with a stern face.
"It's almost done, the commander of the thousand men!" said a soldier named Gui'er.
After Yan Congming returned, he became the highest-ranking general here, but for some reason, everyone still consciously obeyed Yu Shaoqing.
Yan Congming curled his lips and was about to regain command power when Yu Shaoqing blew a cold look: "Shut up!"
Yan Congming shut up aggrievedly.
Yu Shaoqing wanted to fulfill General Xiao's last order, and there was no way to miss it. Although everyone did not know the inside story, they all followed him without distraction.
Yan Congming is like an isolated individual. If he still wants to stay in the team, he would be better to hold his tail obediently.
The big bull died, and with him, there were two new recruits who joined the army two days earlier than him. The new recruits lacked battlefield experience and were most likely to be under the enemy's knife.
"The big bull died to save me..." Xiaoyu was so angry that he cried, "I am a useless person...what did he save me..."
Wu San didn't say anything, patted him on the shoulder, and buried the bodies of Daniu and the other two with his brothers.
Daniu is a very outstanding recruit. He even surpassed many old scouts who have been secretly trained. He shouldn't die here. If he trained him, he will definitely play a greater role in the battlefield in the future.
Wu San lamented and handed the three iron cards to Yu Shaoqing.
Yu Shaoqing put the iron plate into a wooden box wrapped in white cloth, which was full of iron plates of the late soldiers, and General Xiao's lies on the top.
Perhaps one day, his iron plate will be placed here, so that the surviving soldiers will be brought back to his hometown.
"The commander of the thousand men, it's dug through!" Gui'er said.
"Let's go." Yu Shaoqing closed the wooden box.
The big bull is dead, and a veteran who has recovered from frostbite takes over the task of scouting and finds his way forward.
Everyone supported each other and followed.
A young and strong figure followed the team from near to far away. He was the only soldier who did not obey Yu Shaoqing's orders and the only person who was not in the same vein. He held a sword in his arms, his eyes were sad and dull, like an abandoned orphan.
"Old Yu, look." Wu San pulled Yu Shaoqing's arm.
Yu Shaoqing looked back and said helplessly: "General Xiao's death has a great blow to him."
"I heard that he was picked up by General Xiao. Have you seen that sword? I heard that it was General Xiao's close-fitting sword, and he gave it to him." Wu San whispered, "When the Huns rushed over, he was so angry that he had killed many brothers. But he also saved the lives of many brothers."
If it weren't for this, they might not have been able to hold on to Lao Yu's return, and they all died under the sword of the Huns.
"What's his name?" Yu Shaoqing couldn't remember his name for a moment.
Wu Sandao: "Zhou Huai."
...
The bad news from the Northwest Camp entered the capital half a month later. The urgent military information of 800 miles was presented to the imperial study. The emperor was hit by a blow and froze!
The military ministers looked at each other. The emperor's face was not right. If something big happened, shouldn't Lei Chen and Die be angry? Why do they look like they were shocked?
They were also wronged when talking about this accident. News has been coming from the border that the 100,000 Xiongnu army was advancing into Youzhou at full speed and preparing to launch a general attack on Youzhou on New Year's Eve. Who would have expected that the information was wrong? The real Xiongnu army changed its route to the Northwest Camp.
The Northwest Daying was wiped out and there was no living survivor, so naturally there was no way to spread the news. The nearby camp was gone and the food was lost. I wanted to go to the Northwest Daying to borrow food, but I accidentally discovered that the camp had been captured by the Huns.
According to the soldier who borrowed food and grass, all the Huns had been replaced with the armor of the Northwest Army, and a few of them were speaking very fluent Chinese. If it weren't for the Huns' objection that they happened to be his fellow countrymen, he wouldn't have noticed that this group of people were fake.
He didn't show any unusualness, and left after getting the food and grass.
First, the military situation was wrong, and then the Northwest Camp was brutally slaughtered, but the court had no news. This would be unlikely if someone had not interfered with it.
It was also the soldier who was very lucky. The camp where he was not affiliated with Youzhou, so there was no need to send news to Youzhou. Otherwise, after a while, the Youzhou tricks would take advantage of the loopholes. Not to mention sending military information, he would even lose his life.
The emperor's face became very ugly.
Seeing that the military ministers were not good, they knelt all over the ground.
Just as they were waiting to bear the emperor's thunderous wrath, the emperor suddenly stood up and left without looking back!
Ministers: "…"
The emperor went to the dungeon and met Gao Yuan in person.
Gao Yuan was imprisoned for half a month and had become very weak. He knew why the emperor came. It was because he knew that he shed tears on the spot.
The emperor clenched his fists and said with a silence: "Are you really... no one survived?"
Gao Yuan said with difficulty: "There is still...one person alive."
"There is still one person alive." Gao Yuan said with difficulty.
"Who?" asked the emperor.
Gao Yuan was about to say the name accumulated in his chest, but he was exhausted and fainted.
"Master Gao!" Eunuch Wang walked forward and pinched Gao Yuanren, but it was useless.
"There are still people alive..." the emperor murmured thoughtfully, "Who will it be?"
Eunuch Wang thought, "Can it be General Xiao? General Xiao is brave. If anyone can break through the siege, I think he is the only one who will be left."
The emperor nodded in agreement.
During the national affairs, Eunuch Wang had no courage to talk too much, so he looked at Gao Yuan beside him and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Gao fainted. Is that a servant going to invite an imperial physician?"
The emperor waved his hand: "Send the wine to the house and ask the imperial physician to treat him well, so that he must be safe and sound."
With a sound of wine, Gao Yuan restored his original position.
Eunuch Wang thought that Gao Yuan was really powerful. He offended the emperor and was abolished and reunited, and was the first person in history.
The emperor called the commander of the Imperial Guard again: "Go to tell Xiao Zhenting, and he said that his nephew escaped from the Northwest Camp alive and was on his way to Youzhou, so he would go to pick him up in person."
"Personally?" The commander of the Imperial Guard was stunned, "Your Majesty..."
The emperor closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "I know what I am doing, just go."
