After Yi Jinhuo's head was chopped off and hung on the flag, Danghu finally led 7,000 cavalry back and surrounded him from the front and rear. The 6,000 Chanyu knights that Danghu used as surprise troops not only failed to establish the battle situation, but instead surrounded him from the front and rear. , unable to advance, unable to retreat, the result is to be completely annihilated.
When the Shanyu soldiers who were fighting in the front saw this scene, they were naturally frightened and lost their will to fight. The deputy general who commanded and supervised the battle could not maintain the overall situation. When the soldiers in the rear began to flee, the soldiers in the front could not take the lead and lead the entire army in a life and death battle. After fighting, they were unable to kill the deserters to save their morale, which eventually led to a huge rout on the battlefield.
Gao Zhun, Wang Xiao and others in the front line seized the opportunity and drove the enemy troops twenty miles away in one breath. By the time the last batch of infantry abandoned their swords and surrendered, the sky was already dark and the howling west wind had stopped. Looking at the fallen bodies along the way, they could clearly believe that it had been there.
After the war, casualties were counted and more than 3,000 people were killed, and 7,000 were unable to fight anymore. However, the number of enemies annihilated was also considerable. Yijinhuo's 6,000 elite cavalry were all wiped out, and more than half of the 9,000 infantry fighting in the middle formation were lost. Only the Shanyu cavalry attacking the left wing defeated the cavalry until they were completely exhausted. Able to escape intact. Taking a closer look, Shan Yu's army suffered losses of more than 10,000.
"It's dangerous! It's dangerous!" Li Hou kept murmuring after the battle: "If it hadn't been for the help of the west wind, if the enemy generals hadn't underestimated the enemy, if the enemy hadn't underestimated the waves, and if the boy Ping Lin hadn't come up with this strange plan, the bones of the few of us would have been destroyed. I want to be buried in this yellow sand." He was somewhat lucky to survive the disaster, but also somewhat worried about the future war. He began to lower his head and consider the future after the war.
Li Hou was not the only one who was also lost in thought. Danghu unhooked Yijinhuo's head from the flag, looked at him for a moment or two, and then threw him into the yellow sand. Not long after, Danghu's head disappeared in the flowing sand. He lamely gathered with his wife and children on the hill. He praised his only son for coming up with the plan. He called everyone together and said first: "No matter what, our army will always win this battle. Humphrey is going to fight again." It will take some time to send troops to fight."
He said matter-of-factly: "Since it's difficult to fight against Humphrey now, why not find some helpers." Li Hou and others agreed. The only question was who should be the reinforcements? Baibo, Xianling Qiang, Tiefu tribe, or directly ask the court to take charge of the overall situation?
Next, he knocked on the handle of the knife and analyzed it by himself: "Yu Fuluo is most afraid of nothing more than Yanmen Xianbei. I heard that Yanmen was defeated a few years ago, and it was precisely because of Yu Fuluo's deprivation of food and grass that he made the right King Xian could not stand firm, but he did not dare to send troops to fight Xianbei. He sat back and watched Yanmen's defeat, so he had to frame and kill King Youxian to maintain his reputation. After King Youxian died, Yanmen has now been completely lost to Xianbei. We are waiting You can make friends with them, one to the east and the other to the west, and you can make them inseparable from each other!"
The expressions of Bai Bo and others suddenly changed, and Gao Zhun said suspiciously: "The Xianbei people are wolf-hearted, and their methods are like old mustard, cruel and spicy. King He Na, if you make friends with them, be careful that they will eat them dry and wipe them clean!" It was a lucky chance that the Luan Ti clan would die, and the whole country would be in chaos."
Danghu was indifferent to this, and he replied calmly: "Compared with the harsh rule under Humphreys, it is better to fight for a few more years than to live and wait for death now! What's more, today's victory is precisely because a god descended from the sky. Feng, my son has come up with a strange plan again. It shows that we are blessed by the gods! Do you know that we can't defeat Xianbei afterwards and revive the glory of the Xiongnu?"
Then he ordered that among the horses captured today, those who were blind and could no longer ride were selected. Some of them were slaughtered on the spot, their bones and flesh cut off, roasted and eaten on the spot, and some were kept until they returned from Qingyan Ze to fetch salt. Prepare bacon for cooking. After hearing this, all the tribesmen shouted "long live the battle" and sang and danced in the night fire to celebrate the victory.
At the celebration banquet, Bisi, who was leading the way in Zhenlin, was publicly appointed as the envoy. He took Yijinhuo's Shanyu golden sword to ask for help from Xianbei. Then he rewarded Xianbei for his merits and won the prize in the four counties. Gold, silver and jewelry were distributed. Gao Zhun and Li Hou all had their share. The ten or so of them were incompatible with the Xiongnu tribe, so they barbecued and chatted together. Gao Zhun suddenly frowned and asked Li Hou, "Did I lead brother He Na to a wrong path?" ?Why does it feel more and more wrong?"
Li Hou shook his head, smiled and excused him and said: "You can't say that. No matter what, you have to walk your own path. How can I blame you? We led the team to leave privately, risking our lives to follow the same path as the He Na brothers. He is worthy of his misfortune. But what happens to him can only be determined by himself. We have given him a hand, but how high he can climb is not something you and I can decide."
Wang Xiao heard that something was wrong. He bit a piece of meat, swallowed it with difficulty, and then said, "It sounds like none of you are optimistic about this happening. I think this is a good idea. Let the Xianbei dog and the Shanyu dog bite the dog. No matter how good the Xianbei dogs are at fighting, Yanmen Xianbei only has 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers. No matter how incompetent the dog shanyu is, he can still muster more than 100,000 soldiers under his command. I don’t know how long it will take to decide the winner of this fight!"
While they were talking, they saw Todo coming over with a jug and a cup, and they all greeted him as usual. Todo smiled at them and said, "Heye actually has wine hidden in the cellar of the king's tent, and he also gives it to us on weekdays." Crying poor, it’s because I don’t know how many ounces of meat there is without slaughtering the pig, so I’ll try it with some of my brothers.”
The Heye he mentioned was He Naheguduhou who was beheaded before the war, and his name was He Naheye. Bai Bo and others were not surprised by this. They all took the wine glasses and filled them up one by one. They raised their heads in greeting and drank them all in one gulp. After drinking, Li Hou sighed and said, "It's no wonder that Yang Shuai hid his wine bottle." , So that’s what it smells like! This Heye deserves to be killed! Our Baibo army captured most of the county, and only Yang Shuai stole two jugs of wine. I guess Guo Shuai didn’t even get to see him!"
After saying that, everyone burst out laughing, and Danghu was also laughing at the side. It's strange to say that he used to wonder how these people could laugh so well. Now he still can't blend in, but he won't be upset about it anymore. He only thinks about the strengths and weaknesses of these people, and feels that these people are indeed worthy. The value of communication.
He felt that Gao Zhun was the most scheming among them. It was said that he had been a student of the prefect of Xihe, so he asked him: "Brother Gao, you are the most knowledgeable here. I am not from a commoner background. Fortunately, God looked down on me and I got this chance." Today, when it comes to mounting a horse and fighting, I can still charge forward, but I have no idea how to govern the people and govern the government. Maybe you can teach me?"
Gao Zhun smiled and said: "It is not difficult to manage civil affairs. Longshou told me that it is just a matter of keeping one's eyes open and carefully scrutinizing everything under management. Don't let any dirty places appear under your subordinates. Whether there are good deeds or bad deeds, they must be understood clearly and made public, so that the people will only dare to do good deeds and not dare to do evil. In this way, you can be a good magistrate of a county."
Dang Hu thought about how he could compare with the county magistrate after occupying half of the county and defeating Shanyu's pursuers one after another. He felt a little unhappy, but he still asked: "I wonder if Mr. Chen Fu has said how to govern a county." ?”
"What a coincidence, I also asked. Brother He Na and I want to go together!" Gao Zhun clapped his hands and laughed. He spread his legs and propped his elbows on his knees, holding his head with his palms, as if he wanted to go with him. You said in detail with a eloquent posture: "I was wondering how a man could be satisfied with being the king of a county? So I asked Long Shou."
"The leader of the dragon said, when there are more people, things will be different. Governing a county is not the same as governing a county. There are so many things in the prefectures and counties, how can it be possible to examine them one by one? Therefore, we must grasp the main body and control the subordinates. Officials should be strictly educated and evaluated, so that capable officials can occupy their positions and corrupt officials should be removed from their posts. In this way, as long as the officials are in their respective positions, a county can be well governed."
After listening to this, he shook his jug and said with a smile, "Why does it sound like it's easier than running a county?"
Gao Zhun obviously expected that he would say this. He shook his head and joked: "Otherwise, those who can become officials must either be talented people or rely on connections. It is difficult to inspect and educate these people. If you really make people anxious, you As soon as you close your eyes and then open them, oh! I guess your whole family’s heads are in front of your bed, brother, do you still think it’s easy?”
Everyone present was horrified, but after pondering for a moment, he said: "The dead will not have such worries, why is it so complicated? It is better to strike first and kill them all."
Gao Zhun was stunned when he heard this. Before he could say anything, he saw the person in charge and asked again: "Mr. Chen is indeed a great talent, but I wonder if he has said anything about how the king of a country should manage government?"
Everyone looked over, obviously urging him to speak quickly. After he thought for a moment, he said: "Longshou did say that the king is the emperor. Why should he bear the hope of the world? He must be patient and desolate in order to rectify the good of the world." If you are evil, you should not be neglected because of selfish interests, nor should you alienate or distance yourself from others. Only by using the Supreme Lord as the leader of the world can you bring great order to the world."
He spoke in a formal manner, but everyone understood the general idea. Danghu frowned and asked, "Does this kind of king really exist?"
Gao Zhun shrugged and said with a smile to everyone: "Chen Longshou said that for thousands of years in the Xia Dynasty, there was only one Gaozu, so Gaozu was able to achieve a four-hundred-year legacy of unification to this day."
Danghu sighed, and then smiled and said: "From what I see, Mr. Chen Fu is just having some crazy dreams. Wolves are born to eat meat, deer are born to eat grass. In the world of life, there is nothing more than giving. If you strive for wealth by yourself, how can there be such a person in the world?"
The scene was silent for a while, as a few people roasted horse meat in silence, and pulled out a few sparks in the charcoal fire. When Danghu looked at them, he suddenly lost interest and left immediately.
It would be better for his family to entrust him with important responsibilities, he thought.
