Wu Nian smiled and asked Li Yongzheng to continue cleaning the battlefield, and he led his troops back to Yumen Pass.
The current Yumen Pass is very crowded.
War horses, pieces of armor, and weapons were all collected and had nowhere to put them. But Wu Nian didn't care about this.
He looked at the approaching ministers and said to Hojo Ushimasa: "Hojo sir, beat the drums and gather the troops. Gather the soldiers from Panda and Gansu who have not yet surrendered."
"yes."
Hojo Umasa immediately responded and turned around to make arrangements.
Soon after, the school grounds were cleared. Thousands of Gansu soldiers surrendered under Panda were organized and stood in a relatively orderly queue under the ordering platform.
Wu Nian led a small number of his ministers to the platform, accompanied by Panda.
Wu Nianxian turned to look at Panda and asked: "General Pan. You are still young and capable. Do you want to give up the rest of your life for Han Laocheng?"
"As long as you are willing to surrender, I promise you glory and wealth."
Panda raised his head and looked at Wu Nian's face. This face is no longer young, but its heroic spirit is unparalleled in the world.
Today's battle was even more obvious to him.
In fact, he had already been considering this issue.
Han's Gansu has ended, and the cause he fought for has evaporated. His loyal lord's head hangs on the flagpole.
And judging from Wu Nian's attitude, he probably wouldn't kill him.
There were only two roads ahead of him. One is to remain anonymous and live this remaining life.
The second is to submit to the Han Dynasty and become a strong general.
Before this, he was hesitant, but now he has made a decision.
He slowly lowered his head, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed: "I am willing to wipe out your majesty's blood and brains."
"Hahaha." Wu Nian laughed, bent down and helped Panda up happily, and said: "With the help of the general, I have strengthened my country. It is gratifying."
"Thank you for your attention, Your Majesty." Panda lowered his head and said gratefully.
Don't say anything else. Wu Nian's treatment of him was really impeccable.
After taking a deep breath, Panda showed a solemn look, bowed to Wu Nian and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being brave and asking your Majesty for a favor."
"Say." Wu Nian said straightforwardly.
"With your majesty's current prestige in Gansu, there is no need for Han Laocheng's head. Please allow me to collect Han Laocheng's head and lay it to rest."
After Panda said this, he knelt down again and kowtowed.
Wu Nian thought for a while, then Zhan Yan said with a smile: "Han Laocheng has such a loyal minister as the general, he can also smile."
"Okay. But we have to wait until I use Han Laocheng's head to open the gates of Lanzhou City and Qin'an City."
Dong Jun in Lanzhou City and Yuan Xiao in Qin'an City both closed the city gates and guarded the city.
As soon as Han Laocheng's head arrives, they will collapse.
"Yes." Panda bowed heavily.
Wu Nian helped him up, then turned to look at the Gansu surrender troops ahead. He took a deep breath and said loudly: "Men of Gansu. You are all good soldiers. You have been good soldiers since ancient times to protect your home and country. Are you willing to join the Han army and defend China?"
"Yes." None of the Gansu soldiers hesitated and said loudly with their heads held high.
"Very good. From today on, you are the Han army." Wu Nian said with a smile.
"Yes." The Han soldiers held their heads high and loudly responded.
Wu Nian glanced at Panda again and asked someone to organize the Han army to go down.
The pacification of Gansu is just around the corner.
After this battle, the Turks were no longer a threat.
The next step is to attack the Western Regions and destroy the Turks. Send your good son to the Western Regions, run the business for a few years, and then attack Central Asia.
He conquered the city and took the title of Emperor Qi.
But Gansu is a place with connections in all directions. When he went on his own expedition, he needed someone to guard him to ensure that the Slavs and Tibetans could not invade Gansu and cut off his own retreat.
Thousands of households need to be guarded.
Panda is one of the candidates.
Another one is Guan Chaoqiang.
leftover.
Wu Nian turned and looked to the southeast.
.............
The Turks were defeated by the Han army and fled to the west in panic. After confirming that the Han army was not pursuing them, they set up camp on a mountain thirty miles away from Yumen Pass.
The original tent has been abandoned, and a new tent has been erected.
The famous Turkic kings who fled in all directions led their tribes and gathered near the hill. There are as many men as a sea of horses, and the horses seem to be endless.
But every man roping a horse was still in shock. From time to time, he looked up at Yumen Pass, showing fear.
In fact, there were not many casualties among the Turks in this battle, but it interrupted their arrogance and shattered their military spirit.
That "Han" flag has become a nightmare in their hearts.
In a short period of time, morale was difficult to recover.
Inside the big tent.
The Turkic Great Khan Shu Youdang sat on the main seat, Ping Bashan, the king of the left capital, sat on the left, and Ping Bagui, the king of the right capital, sat on the right. The kings sat according to their status.
Everyone's face was ashen, and the atmosphere in the tent was extremely depressing.
This battle of the Han army not only shattered the soul of the Turkic army.
It also shattered the pride of these noble Turkic kings.
Dignified Turks, a nation on horseback. One hundred thousand iron cavalry approached the city, but were defeated by thousands of Han cavalry.
It’s really shameless to see people.
Moreover, there is another problem.
Ping Hachigui, the king of the right capital, sighed, looked up at the Great Khan Shuyoudang, then turned to look at the famous kings, and asked: "Everyone, what should we do next??"
The famous kings looked at each other, no one could say anything.
Ping Bashan, the king of Zuodu, couldn't hold his breath and stood up immediately, bowed to Shu Youdang and said: "We were unprepared in this battle and were attacked by the Han army."
"And our casualties are not many. One hundred thousand people are still there. I think we should regroup and send troops to Yumen Pass tomorrow to surround Yumen Pass."
"To avenge one arrow."
It would be easy to deal with it if someone took the initiative. The young faction among the famous kings immediately began to support King Ping Bashan of Zuodu, clamoring to make the Han army pay the price.
Wang Ping Bagui of the right capital shook his head and said: "One reason is that the Han army took advantage of our unpreparedness. But is it so difficult to admit that the Han army is powerful?"
"There is a Han cavalry force of ten thousand households in Yumen Pass."
"There are still three Han cavalrymen with ten thousand households in Gansu."
"In addition, if the troops surrendered by Gansu are used by Wu Nian, Wu Nian can organize at least 70,000 cavalry."
"Do you still think that one hundred thousand versus seventy thousand, we have the advantage?"
"Or do you hope that the Turks will be defeated in one battle and end up being exterminated?"
Having said this, the tone of King Ping Hachigui of the right capital gradually became stern. He stood up, turned around and bowed to the Great Khan Shuyoudang and said, "Great Khan, I think we should not consider besieging Yumen Pass now to avenge ourselves, but rather withdraw our troops back to the Western Region and actively defend ourselves."
"Wu Nian said it before. The disaster of genocide."
"Jun Wu joked that these four words may not be effective when applied to other emperors. But Wu Nian will definitely not lie. I think Wu Nian's next step is to attack the Western Regions."
"We have been operating in the Western Regions for countless years, and our ancestral heritage cannot be handed over to the Han people."
The famous kings were all horrified after hearing what King Ping Hachigui of the Right Capital said. Does Wu Nian dare to attack the Western Regions?
But as soon as they thought about it, they became restless.
It's possible.
This Han Emperor was ridiculously strong.
Shu Youdang took a deep breath, stood up and ordered: "Retreat the troops tomorrow. Strengthen the defense of the Western Region."
