Chapter 190 The autumn wind sweeps the leaves

Awakened from the nightmare, Han Anguo was covered in cold sweat. He looked at the dark sky outside, and was depressed from his chest, and sighed: "Your Majesty! I am ashamed of the court!"

What kind of dream is that? Dunhuang splits a hundred feet of cliff from the tall mountains, gathers into a rolling torrent at the foot of the Great Wall, and goes straight toward the northeast.

But at some point the clouds that embraced the peaks all year round, blood rain dripped down, turning the woods standing among the cliffs into pieces of bright red. The rain line floating across Dunhuang County wet the iron armor of the soldiers, the Han army flags at the top of the city and a young and warm body.

King Xiu Tu's cavalry swept through the Han army like a storm, horse hooves stepped on their bodies, stepped on them into meat sauce, and the sword swept across the loose military formation. The soldiers' heads fell to the ground one after another. The body of the Huns' high priest Gan Hui looked into the distance. Seeing this scene, he showed a happy eyes, extremely evil.

He was red from his eyes when he was anxious. Han Anguo activated his mount and rushed forward, trying to block the enemy with his weak body. However, the Huns' long sword slashed at him horizontally. With a "puff", one of his arms flew three feet away, and blood splattered into the wasteland.

He began to endure the pain and wave the knife with one arm, and a shrill roar of wind and thunder sounded in his ears.

In the bloody rain, the Han soldiers stared at their angry eyes and made the last sound of killing.

On the bloody mountain road were more than two thousand captive people in Hexi. They moaned under the whip, and their painful appearance was sad. With the raging and wild laughter of the Huns, their souls were severely damaged.

He felt chill all over, as if every part of his body was trembling. He opened his blurry eyes and seemed to see a hideous face.

Han Anguo sat up from the couch with a "huh", picked up the pillow beside the couch, and threw it to the face with all his strength: "Where to go? Eat my spear!"

"Husband! What's wrong with you?" The lady who was guarding beside her looked at him strangely and handed over silk.

Han Anguo finally woke up and realized that it was not the Hun general standing in front of him, but his wife. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, sighed and shook his head.

The eager anticipation of the late emperor reminded Han Anguo of his kindness of his acquaintance back then. He understood that this would be his important service for the court.

From the moment he left Chang'an, he resold the mansion in Shangguan Street and dispersed all the money he had saved to the servants and maids who had worked day and night for him. He went to Dunhuang County and didn't know when he would come back. Instead of wasting his money, it would be better to give them to those who really needed it.

On weekdays, Han Anguo and his wife were very nice to the servants and maids around them. Everyone was reluctant to leave for a long time. Several older maids even wanted to go to the border with them to take care of their daily lives. Han Anguo persuaded them to stop.

"The border town is far away, and there is no trace of governance. The mountains are high and the road is dangerous, but the way back is far away. The Huns, tigers, wolfs, cavalry, and the battlefield is full of dangers. We are the emperor's destiny. How can you suffer the pain of guarding the border?" Han Anguo explained painstakingly.

After calming down, Han Anguo rode out of the city for ten miles. He saw Li Guang standing at the intersection looking around from a distance. He quickly rode forward and bowed to Li Guang, "Is the general really here?"

"I said I was coming to meet, how could I break my promise? I have heard that the general had encountered the Hun cavalry, and knew that hundreds of people had been robbed and a hundred scattered land was destroyed. The general had few cavalry and could not be stopped, so he let it slip away with his grandeur." Li Guang sighed with his lips.

"Oh!" Han Anguo's throat was a little sore.

After a pause, he said, "Dunhuang County has taken over the Western Regions countries such as Loulan. Because Loulan and our dynasty have become crowded with people.

But unexpectedly, the guard was addicted to the mood and missed the opportunity, so that the Huns took advantage of this opportunity to rob. Now General Li Guang personally reinforced the troops to prevent the Huns' cavalry from attacking again. Han was ashamed!"

"Okay, Your Majesty is understanding and will not punish you severely. Will I, Li Guang, still laugh at you?" Li Guang said quietly to Han Anguo with a blank look.

This war seems to have huge losses, but in fact it is common in frontier areas. It is just because there has been no war in recent years. On the contrary, the population has risen rapidly, causing one to rise and another to disappear, making it more and more humiliating.

...

When seeing Dongfang Shuo off, Liu Che was also present. He also had a little admiration for the envoy who went south to Nanyue. Now he was going to send the plan he prepared to Nanyue, so he naturally had to pay attention to it and let him convey his meaning accurately.

With a good horse transfer, Dongfang Shuo could naturally arrive in Nanyue quickly. In a few days, he would spend everything immediately except eating, drinking, urinating, and sleeping.

Fortunately, he is young and strong, otherwise he would not be able to stand it if he had been older.

When he returned to the military camp again, his mood was more peaceful than the first time, and he was far less relieved than he had at the beginning. After meeting Zhou Yafu, he reposted Liu Che's words intact, and Zhou Yafu fell into thinking and sent someone to take Dongfang Shuo to rest.

In just three days, Zhou Yafu simplified the battle formation for daily training and conveyed the response plan.

The Han army broke out. In the face of thousands of battle formations of dozens of people, the guerrilla model of the South Vietnamese finally broke down, collapsed all the way, and retreated to the capital of Panyu.

After being silent for so long, the Han army had been fed up with the invasion of the South Vietnamese damp and poisonous obstacles. If they could sweep away the decay, they would naturally advance in a worldly manner.

But after comparison, the South Vietnamese army fell into a critical situation. They could not defeat the troops, and they were divided and abused. There seemed to be no other way out except to retreat.

The war changed rapidly. Zhao Hu, who was planning to stalemate the moment before, was stunned. The infantry army failed and the navy could not be pulled out. Seeing the Han army surrounded overnight, the South Vietnamese army was like a dog that was a broken family, he was desperate...

The great hero turns the tide, and the plot of 800,000 troops falling from the sky is impossible to achieve. (The Romance of the Three Kingdoms dare not exaggerate it like this...)

Zhou Yafu was in charge of the army, as fast as the wind, and as the pine trees when it was slow. This was a great opportunity to be fast as lightning. Of course, he refused to give up this good opportunity. Seven days after the South Vietnamese army was destroyed, Panyu, the capital of the South Vietnamese capital, had already been under the city by him.

There was no other way. Zhao Tuo, the King of Nanyue, did not even have a chance to talk. The Han army was moving too quickly.

Zhao Tuo had to send people to seek peace and quell the war overnight, and the letters of the vassals were passed to the Han camp in order to avoid the disaster of the country's destruction.

He did not avoid other generals, nor did he send the letter to Chang'an. On the contrary, Zhou Yafu summoned the generals, read the letter sent by the King of Nanyue in front of them, and then tore it apart, neatly and neatly.
