morning.
The sun was shining brightly and the west wind was howling.
Yumen Pass.
Because of yesterday's capture, the Han army defeated the Turkic army. Don’t worry about food, just eat breakfast with an open stomach.
The Han army was divided into two groups, one stationed inside the pass and the other stationed outside the pass and setting up camps.
This greatly improved the congestion situation in Yumen Pass.
News of the Turkic retreat has arrived. The soldiers of the Han army relaxed somewhat. When nothing happened, they gathered together and talked happily about the battle yesterday.
The emperor and the king of Qi entered the battle and killed one hundred thousand Turks and almost defeated them.
None of the Turks are male.
The sounds of laughter and loud talking are constant. Generals and officers don't care either.
This is a good thing to boost morale and unite the morale of the military.
No matter what.
On the city wall. Wu Min got up early, put on heavy armor, and patrolled the city wall with his own soldiers. His face was serious and his steps were steady.
Every soldier who met him couldn't help but become serious.
"Although the Turks have retreated, it is not impossible to fight back. We still need to be more cautious." Wu Min stood at the top of the city and looked to the west. The biting west wind blew the scarlet cloak behind him.
Guanling Mansion.
The Ouchi guards have one post every five steps and one sentry every ten steps, keeping the Guanling Mansion fully packed. Inside the hall. Hojo Uzumasa and other close ministers sat together drinking tea, and no one spoke.
Inside the main house.
A team of eunuchs stood waiting. On the bed, Wu Nian was still sleeping soundly.
After a while, Wu Nian opened his eyes, looked out the window at the bright light, shook his head and sat up.
"Your Majesty is awake." A eunuch said immediately.
The eunuchs immediately took action. Some went to fetch water, some prepared meals, and some fetched clothes to change Wu Nian's clothes.
Wu Nian shook his head and became more energetic. He sat up and put on his shoes. Under the service of the eunuch, he finished washing and eating and came to the lobby.
"His Majesty."
Hojo Umasa and other ministers immediately stood up and bowed in salute.
"No courtesy. Sit down." Wu Nian raised his hand, came to the main seat and sat down. He raised his head and asked, "What's going on with the Turks?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Turks have withdrawn their troops." Hojo Umasa sat down, cupped his hands, and said with regret.
All the ministers present were extremely regretful.
Wu Nian was also very sorry, shook his head and said: "The beating was too harsh, and he ran away. It's not beautiful anymore."
The Turks have escaped, and the next battle will be the Battle of the Western Regions. The Turks have 100,000 soldiers and more than a million people entrenched in the Western Region, which will be difficult to deal with.
If the Turks don't run away, they will linger outside Yumen Pass.
It would be great to wait for the Han cavalry to gather and kill thirty to fifty thousand of them.
Pity.
Wu Nian quickly put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and forget it.
After casually talking to his ministers, he had nothing to do and took a walk in the small Guanling Mansion to stretch his muscles.
afternoon.
Wu Nian learned that Feng Chong led Guan Chaoqiang and was approaching Yumen Pass. So he sent Hojo Ujimasa out of the customs to greet him.
The sun sets over the western mountains.
The sun is blood red.
Hojo Ushimasa and his entourage stood at the gate of the city and looked into the distance. After a while, a black spot appeared on the horizon ahead. Then a large group of people appeared.
Soon after, Feng Chong and Guan Chaoqiang rode their horses to Yumen Pass, followed by countless cavalry and horses. There are many horses and horses carrying grain and grass.
Hojo Umasa stepped forward to greet the two of them, and then led them into the gate and went straight to the lobby of the Sekilord's Mansion to meet the king.
"His Majesty."
Under the gaze of their close ministers, Feng Chong and Guan Chaoqiang stepped forward and bowed to salute.
"Without courtesy." Wu Nian raised his hand with a smile, and then said to the two of them: "The Turks invaded only in the past few days. You were able to quickly gather food and grass and come non-stop from the rear. It's all thanks to your hard work."
Feng Chong was praised, showing satisfaction and holding his head high.
"Your Majesty is overly complimentary. This is what a minister should do." Guan Chaoqiang was excited in his heart, with a look of humility on his face, and bowed in salute.
Wu Nian nodded and asked his entourage to receive the military rations. Then he raised his head and said to Guan Chaoqiang: "Guan Qing, I have something that I need you to handle."
Guan Chaoqiang was very alert, and with a thought in his mind, he asked: "But Lanzhou City, Qin'an City?"
"Yes." Wu Nian nodded slightly and said, "I have prepared Han Laocheng's head for you."
"It's easy to talk about wealth and glory. As long as they are willing to surrender, they will have everything they want."
"You leave tomorrow."
"Yes." Guan Chaoqiang responded.
The arrival of Feng Chong and Guan Chaoqiang is just the beginning. Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng's troops, who were originally attacking cities and territories in the Hexi Corridor, as well as super-strong infantry and horsemen, arrived at Yumen Pass one after another.
It only takes three days.
More than 50,000 people gathered inside and outside Yumen Pass. The sound of people and horses neighing is endless. The murderous aura goes straight towards the bullfighting.
If the Turks are still there, Wu Nian can lead this group of elite soldiers and generals to force a war and kill 100,000 of them.
With the arrival of the Han army, the deeds of Wu Nian and Wu Min's father and son in the battle at Yumen Pass also spread. Whenever the soldiers of the Han army mentioned this, they would be elated, hold their heads high, and show pride.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the emperor immediately.
Really brave and invincible.
Not only the Han army, but also the civilians followed. This matter spread through word of mouth and will soon spread throughout Gansu.
morning.
In the lobby of Guanling Mansion.
Wu Nian was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the main seat with a golden sword. Below him is the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs. Wu Nian raised his head and glanced at everyone, and said: "Although I plan to use troops in the Western Region, there is a lack of water in Yumen Pass."
"The army is not suitable to stay here for a long time. I plan to retreat to Lanzhou City to drink water from the Yellow River."
"yes."
The civil and military ministers were already prepared and saluted with clasped fists.
Immediately, Wu Nian discussed with them and arranged the withdrawal. Whoever goes first will be left behind.
After waiting for it to end, Wu Nian announced the adjournment of the meeting, stood up, and planned to go to the study to read. At this moment, two inner guards walked in from the outside carrying a weak and strong man.
"What's wrong?" Wu Nian's face darkened and he raised his eyes and asked.
"Your Majesty. The governor of Anxi Prefecture sent him to deliver the news. The Tibetan army is on its way to Anxi. The number is at least 80,000."
An Ouchi guard put down the strong man, cupped his fists and saluted.
The exhausted strong man knelt on the ground, too tired to speak and could only nod his head.
Wu Nian was furious and said: "First the Turks, then the Tubo. Are you a soft persimmon? Cancel the retreat plan, gather troops and horses, and fight against the Tubo."
Everyone also showed angry faces.
Do you really think that the Han Dynasty was the Chu Dynasty?
Is the Emperor of the Han Dynasty the Taojun Emperor?
Feng Chong was angry, excitedly gearing up, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please let me be the vanguard to defeat Tubo."
"Then they marched straight in and occupied the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. They turned Tibet into Han territory. They collected treasures and presented beauties to His Majesty."
