When Li Yunze returned to the caravan, the sky was already dark.
The leaders of several caravans from the capital gathered here, and upon seeing Li Yunze's return, they all paid homage.
Although I don’t know why the King of Zhongshan appears here, it’s not important. The ability to escape today is all due to the king’s bravery.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Li Yunze on horseback waved his hand, "A certain person has found the Huns' camp. Everyone in the army who is night-blind will come."
After that, he looked at the numerous caravan guards and said, "Anyone who is willing to make meritorious deeds can also come with us. If you make meritorious deeds, I will not be stingy with rewards."
The Han Dynasty was fashionable and martial, and these caravan guards were all generous and heroic men. They had witnessed the Han army defeating thousands of Xiongnu cavalry head-on, and all of them were already excited.
Upon hearing Li Yunze's greeting, a large group of people immediately came out.
"The remaining people, take care of the caravan and livestock, and wait for someone to come back."
Li Yunze's eyes widened, and he signaled Zhao Yan and Wu Gang who wanted to persuade them to get out, then turned his horse's head and led everyone away.
A group of people from the caravan gathered around, trying to get in touch with the king through Zhao Yan and the others.
Until then, Zhao Yan finally came to his senses and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty is at home in Zhongshan Kingdom. This battle is under the control of Lieutenant Wu Gang. Don't talk nonsense!"
When the lost Wu Gang heard this, he suddenly trembled and looked at Zhao Yan in disbelief. "You want to cheat me to death for snatching the king's credit?" '
"you are silly?"
Zhao Yan came over and whispered in his ear, "How can the king leave the country without permission! If you don't pick it up quickly, are you trying to harm the king?"
Wu Gang understood instantly, waved his hands to everyone and said, "Disperse quickly, don't you want any of your caravans? Where is the king? The king is drinking in the palace."
Everyone in the caravan showed contempt.
Do you think that we are all fools when we sing along?
In an era of low productivity, it was difficult to eat meat, causing most people to suffer from night blindness.
That is to say, the treatment in the army is good, and they are often given food and wine, so there are not many people with night blindness.
Those caravan guards who took the initiative to follow were usually poorer from three to five and richer from five to five. If they had money, they would drink and eat meat. On the contrary, they had eaten enough meat and offal.
Li Yunze led hundreds of people to attack the Xiongnu tribe at night. When he reached the outskirts of the tribe, he suddenly couldn't help laughing.
It's a pity that no one said, "Why is the king laughing?" '
The reason why he laughed was because the tribe in front of him named Sanda was performing so poorly.
"There are no lurking sentries, no concealed sentries, and no wandering sentries."
"There are no trenches in the camp, no antlers to keep out horses, no pits to tie up guns and trap horses."
"There are actually bonfires lit this late at night. Is this because you are afraid that the enemy will not know your location?"
Li Yunze used his many years of combat experience to see that the tribe in front of him was simply unorganized.
There’s not much to say, so here we go.
Subuda is the leader of the Sangda tribe, and the Sangda tribe is a vassal tribe of the Loufan tribe.
In addition to being the leader of the tribe, Subuda also served as the commander of thousands of Loufan tribes.
Of course, as a large Xiongnu tribe, the Loufan tribe had many thousands of men.
Subuda was very angry at this time and was sitting by the fire drinking wine.
I thought I could make a lot of money by raiding Han'er's caravan, but I never thought that not only could I not grab a piece of cloth or a jar of wine, but instead I could get hundreds of people to join them.
For the Sangda tribe, which only had more than a thousand strong men, this kind of loss was as tragic as tearing out the bones and digging out the hearts.
He doesn't even know now how he will explain it the next time Lou Fan's troops gather their troops.
Subuda, who burped from wine, looked at the fire in front of him with drunken eyes, "I should have known better not to fight the caravan."
'Whoosh! '
An iron arrow whizzed over and shot straight through his forehead.
The huge impact caused Subuda, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, to fall directly.
He finally didn't have to worry anymore.
The arrows whizzed in, and many of the unprepared tribesmen fell to the ground screaming.
The Han army rushed into the camp easily, shouting and slashing with the Huanshou knife, and setting fire everywhere.
We encountered a night attack at night. Unless it was a well-trained and stable regular army, there was a high probability of being defeated.
Not to mention the Sangda tribe, which has only a few thousand people, even large tribes such as Loufan and Aries would be unlucky when encountering a night attack.
The night of chaos finally came to an end when the sun rose.
After counting the battlefield, except for a few people who took advantage of the night to seize their horses and run away, almost all the six to seven thousand people in the entire tribe were gone.
When Zhao Yan and Wu Gang arrived with their people, post-war cleanup had even begun.
"Report to the king that three to four thousand people have been arrested. They are all old, weak, women and children."
"Take them all and hand them over to the defenders when you get to Shangjun."
"Reporting to the king, we have found more than 900 horses, more than 2,000 cattle, and more than 40,000 sheep."
"Slaughter all the sick and injured males and eat them if you can. The ones that can't be eaten are made into butcher shops and taken away, leaving only the females."
"Reporting to the king, hundreds of sets of tent frames, more than ten carts of medicinal materials, more than a thousand dendrobiums of food, sixty pieces of cloth, more than two thousand coins of money, and more than four thousand pieces of various kinds of skins have been seized."
"All the tents were burned because they were parasites and infectious diseases."
"The medicinal materials and skins were sold directly to other caravans, and the money and silk collected were distributed to all the soldiers together with the captured goods. Everyone has a share."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward~~~"
Looking at the cheering sergeants, Zhao Yan and Wu Gang looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
This great king is extraordinary!
Not only is it unusual!
Being able to form a formation without retreating and shoot in front of the formation is already extremely amazing.
As for the night attack on the enemy's camp, now it is dealt with neatly and neatly, with clear rewards and punishments. This is simply amazing, isn't it?
Wu Gang, the lieutenant of Zhongshan Kingdom, subconsciously asked Zhao Yan, "Who is the king's tutor?"
In his opinion, the king who is both wise and brave must have an outstanding master.
But Zhao Yan also looked confused, "I've never heard of it."
He had been a Chang Diao for many years. When he was in Chang'an City, he had never heard of anything extraordinary about Prince Sheng.
If he had shown such talent early on, he would never have been sent out to become the king of Zhongshan Kingdom.
"What are you doing standing there stupidly?" Li Yunze's call woke them up.
He hurriedly came to salute Li Yunze, who was sitting on the carriage with Da Ma Jin Dao, and heard the king's instructions: "Chang Shilang went to discuss the sale of goods with various caravans. Lieutenant Wu appeased the soldiers and recorded the battle achievements and distributed the spoils. Nothing else." You all need to be taught by this king and you need to understand
Take the initiative to do things! "
"Here~~~"
"The matter needs to be handled quickly without delay. Once the matter is done, we will set off south to Shangjun as soon as possible. If Lou Fan's department gets the news, they will definitely launch a massive attack."
Everyone looked solemn and responded continuously.
It is nothing to defeat one Sanda tribe. The entire tribe only has a few thousand people in total, and there are only a few thousand strong men available.
But Lou Fan's department is different. They can mobilize tens of thousands of string control people in minutes.
The loot was delivered to the caravan and rewarded in exchange for rewards and distributed to the sergeants.
The dead sergeants were cremated and put into tanks and taken home, and the wounded sergeants were placed on carts.
Taking the captured cattle, sheep and horses, as well as the old, weak, women and children of the Sangda tribe, they headed south in a mighty manner and headed straight for Shangjun.
A few days later, the team arrived dozens of miles north of Zhifushi County, Shangjun County.
The flags are fluttering in front, and the armor is clanging.
Thousands of Han troops came forward in a mighty manner, with a fierce general riding a horse at the head, followed by a strong man like an iron tower, holding a high flag, and wrote "Send to the Governor Li".
The drums rumbled, the horns roared, and the strong wind blew the flags.
The Han army, which is mainly red, is arrayed in an orderly manner with various levels of arms, which is intimidating.
This is the Han frontier army!
Li Yunze returned to the carriage and arranged for Zhao Yan and Wu Gang to negotiate.
They are all thousand-stone officials. Although they are not as good as the two-thousand-stone county guards, they can at least speak.
The two men hurriedly rode forward and talked with Governor Li for a long time.
Then, from the Han army column opposite, several groups came out and took away the old, weak, women and children of the Sanda tribe. After the Han army cavalry advanced to both sides of the caravan and loomed to hold them hostage, the Han army infantry formation in front, this Then they gradually retreated in units of troops.
Zhao Yan hurriedly rode back to Li Yunze's carriage and reported, "Your Majesty, Governor Li said he wants our cattle and sheep."
"Zhao Yan."
Li Yunze in the car sighed softly, "Do you know why you have been living in Chang'an City for many years without being able to get ahead. In the end, you could only bribe the eldest princess to sneak into the king's side and become the Chang Shilang?"
Zhao Yan's face turned red when he said this. If he had a backbone, he would probably die to express his ambition.
It's a pity that Zhao Yan didn't have this ambition. He blushed and asked in a low voice, "Please give me your advice."
"You came to me in such a hurry to report, didn't you just tell the other side that there is someone higher than you here? I want to hide my identity but I can't. At your level, think about it yourself."
Zhao Yan was stunned at first, and then annoyed.
'How could I be so stupid, just to deceive the Lord! '
Sure enough, the other side noticed the movement here, and the prefect of Shangjun rode over with his guards.
"Who's in the car?"
Zhao Yan revealed his identity as the Chief Minister of the State of Zhongshan. This identity made Governor Li, whom he reported diligently, speak in a much softer tone.
The car door was pushed open, and Li Yunze, dressed in military uniform, walked out holding a saber at his waist.
Before he could speak, Sheriff Li had already dismounted from his horse and saluted him, "Your Majesty, Li Guang, pay homage to your Majesty!"
"It turns out to be General Li." Li Yunze smiled slightly, "General, have you seen me in Chang'an?"
"yes."
Li Guang looked at Li Yunze with doubtful eyes, "I wonder why the king is here?"
"It's a long story."
With a cough, Li Yunze motioned for Li Guang to come forward, and the two of them walked forward. "I came here to find cattle for Zhongshan Kingdom. Since I don't have anyone reliable, I had to come in person."
After looking around to make sure that no one could hear him, Li Yunze simply said, "General, the credit for defeating the Xiongnu Sanda tribe this time can all be attributed to Shangjun. The general strategized and commanded well, and defeated the Xiongnu Sanda tribe."
Li Guang smiled and stroked his beard and nodded, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."
Li Yunze also laughed, "That king left the feudal country to go out."
Li Guang immediately wiped his face and said seriously, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will send this document to Chang'an City. The emperor will decide on the detailed report!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Yunze also turned dark.
He really doesn't know how to behave.
You deserve to be a prince for the rest of your life!
