Fortunately, Gru did not forget his promise. He selected two people from among his subordinates and personally spoke to Bank of China.
No matter what, the treatment was finally much better than before. No matter what, there was no such thing as intentionally knocking him off his horse again.
However, Bank of China said that he knew in his heart that if he wanted to escape from the Golden Bull Road, it would also require a hard battle. If the Han army behind them came to cover them up, I'm afraid they would really be dead.
At this time, we can only take a gamble on Liu Deng's intentions and see how long these 30,000 people can hold them back.
Fortunately, it seems that their Changshengtian has not completely abandoned the Huns, and Liu Deng has no intention of continuing to pursue them.
One mouthful of food can't make a fat man. If he sends his troops back to pursue him now, it will make Cheng Bushi feel embarrassed.
Their record was already brilliant enough, but Cheng Bushi always wanted to take a sip of soup.
People traveled all the way from Chang'an to Dai to support them, so we can't let them return empty-handed...
What's more, there are still a lot of finishing things to be done at this time. Just gathering the captured war horses in the valley is a top priority for Liu Deng.
In the era of cold weapons, cavalry was the real king. The reason why Liu Deng was able to win these battles was because the Huns underestimated him and did not know how powerful they were. On the other hand, it was also because they were stuck. The terrain was taken advantage of, thereby reducing the power of the cavalry to the minimum.
However, this kind of little trick can only be used once and twice, but not over and over again, so in the art of war, it is the kingly way to say that the right and the odd complement each other.
Use the right combination to win by surprise, and you can't always think about taking the wrong side of the sword when using troops. From ancient times to the present, defeating more with less has always been an exception. Putting aside these exceptions, wars over the past thousands of years have not always been Does more people defeat less people?
The Huns are not fools. After this disastrous defeat, they will surely soon come up with a way to deal with the changes in Liu Deng's two armies.
What Liu Deng has to do is to strengthen himself as quickly as possible before they react. Of course, the first step is to build a cavalry that is powerful enough to compete head-on with the Huns. This is the real way.
However, the Huns have always strictly controlled such scarce resources as war horses. The Xiongnu's fine horses have always been the best sellers in the Han Dynasty. Occasionally, one or two horses leaked out, causing the nobles of the Han family to rush to buy them.
The night was already very late, and Liu Deng sat alone in front of the campfire, eating mutton without a bite and drinking some wine. However, the delicious mutton seemed to have lost its taste now, and it tasted like nothing in his mouth.
Liu Deng himself knew that the problem was not with the mutton, but with his worries.
When I was fighting before, I only thought about the war and never thought about what to do after the war. Now it seems that I should really think about this issue.
The brilliant result of this battle far exceeded everyone's expectations, and Liu Deng did not expect that this ambush battle would be won so beautifully.
These Huns were only busy passing through at high speed and did not consider the long and narrow valley. What would happen if they were ambushed?
The entire team is so dense. Of course, this is also because Tibur has not tasted Liu Deng's power, so he arranged the formation in such a dense formation. I believe that after this battle, no Huns would dare to form such a dense cavalry formation again.
But these are all things for later. What Liu Deng needs to solve now is the immediate problem. What should we do about the distribution of military merit?
Although he wanted to give all the credit to Li Guang and Guan Fu, and then feel at ease as his own gangster.
But now it seems that this argument is difficult to stand. He does not want to arouse the prince's fear because of his excessive military exploits.
Although he is very close to the prince now, his figure is very sensitive, and he himself is a bloodline of Emperor Wen. If someone says something to sow discord at this time, I am afraid, even if the prince does not do anything openly.
Deep down in his heart, he would no longer maintain the close relationship with him that he had before. It was as annoying to lose a battle as it was to win a battle. Liu Deng was really at a loss for a moment. How should he show his loyalty? ?
"Your Majesty, our preliminary results have been calculated. In this battle, more than 23,000 people were beheaded, 8,000 were captured, and more than 17,500 horses were captured. There are still more than 5,000 slightly injured horses that are being counted and treated. But I don’t know what to do with the rest?”
When he was upset, Li Guang came to report excitedly.
"Does that need to be said? Those who have been seriously injured should be slaughtered directly. Even if they are distributed to the people of Yanmen, it is better than leaving them here and turning into a pile of smelly meat!"
Liu Deng is a pragmatist. As for saying that feelings are not suitable for him, what's more, these war horses were all shot to death, and they were not suffering from any diseases. In these days, if the common people have a meal of meat, they will rush to it. It’s Chinese New Year.
"No! Our army has brought a lot of salt. I ordered them to rush to make dried meat, which can be used to replenish the bodies of the soldiers!"
After this battle, the whole spirit of the soldiers of the Shenwu Army was completely different. They defeated the Huns one after another, and they all won at a very small cost. The spirit of this powerful army in the world has come out.
With the victory in these two battles as a foundation, when they face the Huns from now on, no matter how unfavorable the battle is, they will not be easily defeated.
Looking at Li Guangyuan's back, Liu Deng sighed again. Why didn't the mutton in his mouth taste good?
"Your Majesty, Master Chao is here!"
When Liu Deng was about to go back to sleep, Du Ziteng suddenly looked strange and quietly came to Liu Deng to report.
"Who are you talking about?"
Liu Deng's face was full of disbelief. How did Chao Cuo find this place in the wilderness?
"Master Chao, he is the one from the Prince's Mansion..."
"Please!"
In any case, Chao Cuo has already come to the door. Can Liu Deng still miss him? If that were the case, I'm afraid it would really arouse the prince's suspicion.
"Chao Cuo meets His Highness the King of Dai!"
"Master Chao, we are all old acquaintances, why do you need to pay such a big courtesy?"
As soon as the two met, Chao Cuo straightened his clothes, bent down at 90 degrees and made a bow to Liu Deng. This actually shocked Liu Deng, who quickly helped him up.
"No, Your Highness, I am saluting you on behalf of His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Chao Cuo did not take advantage of the situation, but completed his ritual very seriously.
"Master Chao, aren't you trying to offend me? His Royal Highness is the Crown Prince, and also my elder. It's not his turn to salute me, right?"
Liu Deng suddenly laughed bitterly.
