Cangshan is like the sea, and the setting sun is like blood.
When the Feilong Army from the northeast appeared on the battlefield, Zhao Yun, holding an apricot-yellow battle flag in his hand and his horse galloping with lightning speed, dug into Wuhuan's side.
When the Wuhuan people's royal flag and Chanyu's head were carried to all directions on the battlefield. When the Wuhuan people on the south bank of the Daling River had no way out of the encirclement, they knelt down and surrendered.
This battle is over.
In this last sunset, the Taishan soldiers who had victoriously driven north once again surrounded Zhang Chong. They all held up their gains and expressed the highest respect to their king.
After Zhang Chong won another great victory in his life, he was full of pride:
"Gentlemen, today's honor belongs to everyone! After this battle, I will cast gold again to commemorate our bloody battle!"
All the officials shouted again:
"My great king, ten thousand years! Ten thousand victories! Ten thousand blessings!"
The shouts were like ocean waves, causing the Wuhuan people who were prostrating themselves on the ground to bend even lower.
At the front, Li Hu, the leader of the Feilong Army, avoided the melee during the battle and rushed directly into the open Liucheng.
Liucheng was leaderless and empty of troops, unable to resist the Feilong Army's attack.
In this way, before dark, Longxing's place, which had been run by the Wuhuan people for more than a hundred years, was captured before the Wuhuan people could flourish.
And what about the Wuhuan people? It can be said that there is no way to heaven and no way to earth.
In the northeast, the retreat route to western Liaoning was cut off by the Feilong Army. To the east and south, there were mountains surrounding it and the roads were impassable.
These Wuhuan people had no place to run, so they had no choice but to surrender to the Taishan Army in waves.
Because it was almost dark, the Taishan Army did not carefully count the prisoners and kill them. However, in this battle, not many Wuhuan people were able to escape, and it could be said that they were all beaten in one fell swoop.
Zhang Chong understood very well that the reason for such great results was not only the timely appearance of the Central Route Army and the North Route Army led by him, but also the more important reason was the hard work of Xu Huang and the Feihu Army.
Without Xu Huang and others digging here and holding the Wuhuan people from retreating to western Liaoning, even if they defeated the Wuhuan people, they would not have achieved such great results.
Therefore, Zhang Chong personally welcomed Xu Huang and others down the mountain to share the joy of this great victory with all the brothers.
The hard battle in Longshan made a tough-minded man like Xu Huang lose weight, become darker and smellier.
Xu Huang's lips were chapped due to long-term dehydration. When he saw Zhang Chong that day, he was ashamed.
This man from Hedong still thinks that his recklessness caused his troops to go deep into the army alone.
Indeed, Xu Huang is reckless.
Fortunately, his coach was Zhang Chong, who was extremely experienced on the battlefield. He was able to take advantage of the situation and adjust his strategies and tactics in a timely manner, which turned what was originally a reckless defeat into the winner of this battle.
But this still cannot erase the arduous fight of Xu Huang and the officers and men of the Flying Tiger Army, and the bloody price they paid for this victory.
Zhang Chong smiled, hugged Xu Huang, and took him with him to greet the cheers of the troops.
Zhang Chong said proudly:
"Our army has the flying tiger general Xu Huang. I wonder who in the world can be worthy of him."
All the officials shouted, even took off their sleeves and raised their arms:
"Xu Huang! Xu Huang!..."
The cheers shook the sky and the earth, disturbing the nearby birds and animals.
But who makes this valley belong to the victor and the Taishan Army at this moment?
The whole army cheered Xu Huang's glory, which naturally made other generals envious of him, but their personal expressions were different.
Zhao Yun came with longing. Although their Feilong Army arrived late in this battle, they blocked the retreat of the Wuhuan people. Zhao Yun himself also picked three Wuhuan commanders to death in this battle.
Six tent warriors.
The blood of the enemy chief dyed his horse's spear red, and he drank heavily.
Therefore, Zhao Yun's eyes kept on working hard.
Li Hu didn't care even more, because he took the biggest advantage in this battle and won Liucheng.
Compared to Xu Huang who struggled to hold on to Longshan and lost so many brothers, Li Hu took down Liucheng without spending a single soldier. What a complete victory.
So he looked directly at the person who should be most miserable in this battle, Xi Shen.
But contrary to Li Hu's expectation, he did not see regret on Xi Shen's face, but a special expression.
The expression was so complicated that Li Hu couldn't understand the meaning.
But Li Hu didn't want to take the trouble to guess. He ignored Xi Shen and started cheering and shouting with everyone.
We, Mr. Li, still know how to be gregarious, otherwise Mr. Li will look stingy.
In fact, Li Hu didn't know that Xi Shen was in a state of confusion at this moment.
This battle was won as expected, just as Xi Shen said before crossing the river, this battle must be won!
But he didn't know whether Zhang Chong had discovered his inner secrets. He didn't dare to show it, and he didn't dare to think about it again.
At this moment, he stiffly agreed with the enthusiasm present, but could not see the complicated and undecided look in his subordinate Wu Xian's eyes.
…
What was once exciting and soul-stirring has come to an end with the end of the battle.
But after entering Liucheng, as news came one after another, Zhang Chong discovered that the excitement was yet to come.
First, after Taton's head was taken care of, it was identified by the surrendered Wuhuan chieftains.
But those chiefs said that the head was not Taton, but Taton's younger brother Zamba.
How is this possible?
How did a good Taton turn into a Zamba?
Didn’t you see the package being dropped?
At first, Zhang Chong thought that these Wuhuan people were unwilling to give up and were trying to use Tadun's survival as a way to gather Wuhuan people's hearts later.
Zhang Chong has seen this method many times.
All popular leaders and heroes within the ethnic group are immortal. Even if they are really dead, they can still appear at any time.
This is the reason why the name "Third Prince Zhu" will last through three dynasties in the future.
But later, when the prisoner's mouth was constantly searched for confirmation, without any collusion, they all said in unison that this was Zamba.
This makes things complicated.
Is Taton so decisive? He asked his younger brother to take his place in the battle before the battle, and then ran away on his own?
Realizing that Taton might not be dead yet, Zhang Chong knew that things were in trouble.
Just as he had worried before, Tadun had a deep prestige in the hearts of the Wuhuan people, and even just a name could cause a lot of turmoil, let alone the real person still alive.
Therefore, Zhang Chong urgently ordered Zhao Yun to select a hundred people who were still strong and strong, and to follow Taton's traces now.
Although Zhang Chong hated such twists and turns, he had no choice but to accept it and solve the problem quickly.
But just when Zhao Yun had selected his pursuit team and was about to ask Zhang Chong for orders to attack, another piece of news came.
I saw Guo Zu, who was responsible for sorting out King Wuhuan’s tent, telling Zhang Chong with a serious face:
"Your Majesty, we just found Taton's body under the king's couch."
It turned out that when Guo Zu and others were registering the account of King Wuhuan, after removing the white wolf skin couch, they found that the land under the couch was new soil, as if it had just been dug out.
So Guo Zu hurriedly asked someone to dig it up, and a corpse was found.
Later, the Wuhuan chiefs identified the body as that of Wuhuan Chanyu Taton.
When Zhang Chong heard this, he felt a little dizzy.
The twists and turns are too fast!
I thought Taton was beheaded, and then his brother. I thought Taton escaped, and he was found buried on the king's couch.
When Taton was brought to Zhang Chong, Zhang Chong saw this Wuhuan hero for the first time.
In Zhang Chong's view, when the Han Empire collapsed, the Wuhuan people were indeed the nomadic people with the best chance of taking over the north.
This nation has learned too many things in following the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years.
The Chinese system, emphasis on population, strong military, and unique geographical location. These can provide impetus for the Wuhuan people to take off.
But whether in this world or in the original plane, the process of the Wuhuan people has been interrupted. Maybe God really has his destiny!
But this still does not hinder the fact that the Taton in front of me is indeed a person.
Zhang Chong looked at Taton's majestic body and saw that his face showed anger, surprise, doubt, disbelief and many other emotions.
Looking at the wounds, there are two.
One on the upper arm and one on the lower back. Obviously the latter was the fatal injury.
Knowing how Taton died, the next question is, who killed Taton?
While Zhang Chong was still thinking, Xu Huang, who had already washed and eaten, suddenly thought of something and reported to Zhang Chong:
"Your Majesty, when our army was trapped in Longcheng, that boy Ma Chao asked a former general of the Northern Army to deliver a message to me, and then he ran away on his own. I don't know if this matter in Taton has anything to do with him."
When Zhang Chong heard about Ma Chao, he really thought that he might have done this, because he was such a person.
So, Zhang Chong asked Cai Que, who was in charge of the collision:
"Where is that boy Ma Chao?"
…
Ma Chao is very depressed.
While a group of generals enthusiastically showed off their martial arts, Ma Chao could only huddle in a corner and remain silent.
Because those honors had nothing to do with him, Ma Chao. As the king's personal servant, General Hengchang, he was absent from the entire war, and he even failed to do the military affairs he was supposed to be responsible for.
Therefore, Ma Chao could only shrink his horn and watch others brag about each other.
At this time, there was a general who was surprised as if he suddenly discovered Ma Chao:
"Hey, isn't this our Jinhu? The king personally gave him the title. How many of our generals have such an honor?"
It turned out that Zhang Chong and General Hengchang suddenly encountered a tiger during a safari, and Ma Chao jumped out and killed it with a bow and arrow!
For this reason, Zhang Chong specifically gave Ma Chao his brocade robe and Shu embroidery and called him "Brocade Tiger".
General Hengchang has long been jealous of this matter, and now he is deliberately looking for trouble:
"Then our Jinhu, how many people will be captured and killed this time? I am mediocre, so I will capture ten people and behead six. You are ten times more powerful than me, and you will have to capture and kill not only hundreds of people, but dozens of them, right?"
These people present had never seen Ma Chao during the entire war, so of course they knew that he had achieved nothing.
So everyone burst into laughter.
Even Ma Chao's younger brother Ma Dai was a little ashamed and lowered his head.
But only Ma Chao didn't take it seriously. He still sat there with a carefree look and spoke boldly.
But I heard Cai Que's voice coming from outside:
"Is Ma Chao here? Your Majesty declares to you."
As soon as he said this, all the generals present looked at Ma Chao jokingly.
