Shanyu Huchuquan fled, without any regard for his people and troops, and fled on his own. When several prominent nobles in the royal court saw this, they all ran away with the intention of saving their lives.
We're gone - anyway, even the most powerful Chanyu has escaped, so of course we can't die in vain.
Seeing the dignitaries fleeing for their lives one after another, the generals were no longer brave, the soldiers were unwilling to fight anymore, and the entire royal court was in chaos.
Cao Jun didn't know how many people he killed. It wasn't until they were weak that they withdrew from the Xiongnu Palace and headed south.
In tonight's battle, Cao's army lost less than a hundred men in total, and only dozens of people were injured. And the number of Huns killed in this battle was estimated to be less than 8,000, if not 10,000.
A great victory! This is definitely a glorious battle that will be recorded in history and will be remembered forever! Even Wei Qing and Huo Qubing have never fought in exchange for the lives of nearly 10,000 enemies at the cost of less than a hundred men.
"Losing my Qilian Mountains will deprive my animals of their ability to live; losing my Yanzhi Mountains will deprive my married women of color." Everyone firmly believes that after tonight, I am afraid that the Huns will lose heart when they hear the name of the Han army. Hundreds of years ago
Their fear of the Han Dynasty will reappear in their hearts. Everyone knows that after this night, no Huns will have the thought of going south to attack the Han Dynasty. They have completely lost the courage to provoke the Han Dynasty!
Although Cao's army gained a lot this time, there were many accidental factors. For example, the Huns were unprepared for the Han offensive, and there was internal strife between Huchuquan and Liu Bao. Most of the Xiongnu's defense forces were concentrated on He
At the junction of Xianbei and Xianbei, they paid close attention to the Xianbei people, the most powerful people on the grassland. As for the south, the Xiongnu did not set up many defensive forces. Before Cao Jun broke into the royal court, no one would have expected that the Han people would dare to take the initiative to attack
They launched an offensive. It was precisely because of this contempt that Cao Jun's cavalry was able to advance all the way without any strong obstruction. All Xiongnu tribes encountered by Cao Jun's cavalry would be slaughtered to ensure that no news would leak out, so until Cao Jun's appearance
Outside the royal court, the Huns did not notice the coming crisis. If the Huns set up a certain defensive force in the south, and if Huchuquan and Liu Bao could unite as one, Cao Jun would definitely not suffer losses if he wanted to win.
There are only so many, and the gains that can be achieved will definitely not be so rich. But in any case, the established facts will not change. The Cao army won a great victory and the Huns were defeated. This is what will be recorded in the history books of later generations.
When they learned from the prisoners that Shanyu Huchuquan had escaped long ago, the generals of Cao's army felt even more relieved. Look, we not only entered the court of the Huns, but also defeated the Shanyu!
"The wild geese fly high in the dark moon, and the Chanyu escapes at night. He wants to drive away the light cavalry, but the heavy snow covers his bow and knife." In a good mood, Gao Shun recited the famous work of the Tang Dynasty poet Lu Lun, and naturally won the audience.
Cheers.
Although Cao Jun did not "want to drive Qingqi away" and there was no heavy snow now, hearing such a poem after a hearty victory can indeed add an extra level of excitement to everyone's already extremely excited mood.
Meaning.
A surprise attack from thousands of miles away, defeated the royal court of the Huns, and forced the Xiongnu Chanyu to flee in despair. What a great achievement at this time! What the predecessors could do, I can also do!
At this moment, everyone in Cao's army was in high spirits.
——————————————————————————————————————“You, what did you say? Say it to me again!” Listening to the messenger
Ke Bineng couldn't believe his ears. He could see the muscles on his face twitching. It was obvious that he was very shocked by the news brought to him by the man in front of him.
"Wu...Wuhuan leader Tadun, and the Xiongnu Chanyu Huchuquan, all said that they could not send troops." The messenger could obviously feel Kebineng's anger, and he knew very well what terrible consequences Kebineng's anger would cause.
The consequences. But when the leader asked, he had to answer, so he could only tremble and repeat what he just said.
"Why, why is this happening!" Kebi Neng roared angrily and helplessly. How unreasonable, simply unreasonable! Both parties breached the contract at the same time, are they going to have to face the Han Dynasty alone again? What if Wuhuan was next to him?
There is also the restriction of the Gongsun family of Liaodong, so that's fine, but why would even the Huns change their minds before the battle? There is no reason at all!
Kebineng let out angry low groans again and again. If Wuhuan and the Xiongnu didn't come to help, wouldn't all his previous plans be in vain?
Wuhuan betrayed his alliance with the Xiongnu, and he was back to fighting alone. Is it possible that he had to rely on that bastard Bu Dugen? Oh, if he knew the truth, he would probably be the first to stab himself.
So what should I do now? Withdraw the troops? After finally gathering all my strength and gathering tens of thousands of troops, should I just withdraw in despair without even fighting a battle?
In this case, where is the dignity of oneself and the leader of the Xianbei army?
But if we don’t withdraw our troops, can we defeat the Han people in the south with our tens of thousands of troops?
I heard that the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao, who had defeated Yuan Shao, had entered Jiuyuan City with reinforcements. Jiuyuan City was the only place he must pass to invade the Han Dynasty, but now there are many and many soldiers stationed there.
The powerful Han army might not have much chance of winning if they start a war.
You know, in the eyes of these peoples outside the Great Wall, Yuan Shao is a very powerful guy. And such a strong man was defeated by Cao Cao. From this, it can be seen that what is Cao Cao's strength?
Previously, Ke Bineng misunderstood Yuan Tan's suggestion and went south to attack the Han Dynasty because Yuan Tan told him that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were both injured in the fight and were unable to fight. But the final result told Ke Bineng that it was just Yuan Tan's introduction.
It's just Shuzi's lie.
Now, Cao Cao and his army are in Jiuyuan City. Are you his opponent? It's a dilemma, it's really a dilemma!
The abominable Wuhuan people, the abominable Huns! At this point, Kebineng could only vent the evil in his chest on the Wuhuan and the Xiongnu.
