It's almost half noon.
The scorching sun is in the sky.
After a short negotiation.
Zhuang Yongguo followed Xiao Sixi and other scouts and rushed all the way to the Yan army's temporary camp.
"Uncle Zhuang, please wait a moment."
"Xiao will go and report to Geng's personal guard right now."
Xiao Sixi reined in his horse and stopped in front of the central army, then turned his head and looked at Zhuang Yongguo, who was covered in black and purple blood.
"We have Captain Lao Xiao."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yongguo raised his hands and clasped his fists with difficulty.
"Uncle Zhuang, you're welcome."
Xiao Sixi cupped his fists and returned the salute, then turned his head and looked at Scout Pao Ze on the other side.
"Lao Peng."
"Bring me a meal for Uncle Zhuang."
Xiao Sixi gave some instructions, then lightly tucked the horse's belly and headed towards the Chinese army.
Not long after.
The message was passed layer by layer and finally reached the Chinese army's big tent.
"Trapped in the camp, the Red-Blooded Guard Chief Zhuang Yongguo?"
At the dining table in the square of the Chinese army tent, Xu Yi put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, then looked at the Wenxin Baiwei who came to report and confirmed.
"Return to the master."
"Xiao Sixi, the scout who first arrived at the camp, confirmed that the man called himself Zhuang Yongguo and was the chief of the red-blooded guard who was trapped in the camp."
"He also said that he had exchanged codes with Zhuang Yongguo."
The Wenxin Baiwei who came to report reported the truth truthfully.
Xu Yi nodded slightly when he heard the words, then looked at the leader Wen Xin next to him.
"Take someone to pick it up personally."
Xu Yi gave instructions.
"yes."
Upon hearing this, the leader of Wenxin quickly stood up and clasped his fists to take orders.
Not long after.
Leader Wenxin personally led more than a dozen of the Chinese army's personal guards and walked quickly towards the Chinese army laymen.
It is different from the anzi placed under other feudal kings and Li Guangli's department.
The secret men of the Yan Army under Li Ling were all personally selected by Xu Yi, and they were all the elites of the Laosheng camp.
On weekdays, except for connecting the correspondence between Xu Yi and Li Ling, Zhuang Yongguo and other secret agents were no different from the secret agents lurking under other feudal kings and Li Guangli's department.
But once the situation of the war is irreversible, or Li Ling is in danger.
Then Zhuang Yongguo and other secret agents who stayed in Li Ling's department would save Li Ling's life at all costs.
Even if it costs them their own lives, so will Zhuang Yongguo and other An Zi who stayed in Li Ling's department.
Not long after.
Leader Wenxin personally led more than ten personal guards to the outside of the Chinese army.
Fang and his party arrived outside the Chinese army.
As far as the eye can see.
It was clearly visible that Zhuang Yongguo, who was covered in black and purple blood stains, was squatting on the ground and almost gobbling the food in his hands.
However, it is not difficult to find if you look closely.
Although it seems to be devouring it, it always waits for the food in its mouth to be completely chewed and swallowed before taking the next bite.
The reason why it looks like he is gobbling it up is because he chews it up too quickly.
See the leader of Wenxin and his entourage approaching.
Zhuang Yongguo quickly put down the food in his hands and stood up from the ground.
After getting up, Zhuang Yongguo saw the face of leader Wenxin clearly.
His eyes instantly opened uncontrollably.
"Uncle Zhuang."
"Geng's personal guards are waiting for you at the Chinese army's tent."
"Please follow me down to the Chinese army's tent."
Seeing that Zhuang Yongguo had recognized him, Leader Wenxin chuckled and spoke quickly.
"startled."
"Yes Yes......"
Hear this.
Zhuang Yongguo's mind went blank for an instant, and his heart was beating wildly, as if it might jump out of his throat at any time.
"Uncle Zhuang, please."
The leader who asked the heart stretched out his hand to say in greeting.
"startled."
"Okay...okay."
Zhuang Yongguo suppressed the trembling in his heart and nodded repeatedly.
The words are over.
Zhuang Yongguo followed the leader Wenxin and his party towards the Chinese army's tent.
On the way to the Chinese army's tent.
Zhuang Yongguo mustered up the courage several times to ask, but every time the words came to his lips, the courage he finally mustered up had completely dissipated.
Not long after.
Zhuang Yongguo followed the leader Wenxin to the Chinese army's tent.
"Owner."
"People have been brought here."
The leader of Wenxin stopped two steps away, then leaned over and saluted with his fists clasped.
Zhuang Yongguo, who was more than a step behind him, quickly raised his head after entering the Chinese army's tent and glanced at Xu Yihou, who was sitting behind the previous desk.
Even though I had expected it before, my body and mind were still shaking uncontrollably.
"Subordinate...subordinate..."
"The subordinates are trapped... the trapped camp is red... the red-blooded guard uncle... Zhuang... Zhuang Sanxi."
"Bye...meet the prince."
Zhuang Yongguo, who was trembling both physically and mentally, leaned over Xu Yi and saluted with a deep clasped fist.
"No gift."
"Take a seat."
Xu Yi sat on the Grand Master's chair, nodded slightly and then gave instructions.
"Thank you...Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me a seat."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yongguo once again leaned deeply and clasped his fists in thanksgiving salute.
at the same time.
Leader Wenxin brought a bed and placed it behind Zhuang Yongguo.
Zhuang Yongguo did not dare to resign after the king ordered him to do so.
After more than ten breaths.
In the past, Zhuang Yongguo, who had no hope of killing enemies and was not even afraid of death, half pulled his buttocks and sat down on the bed, his body still trembling slightly.
"Uncle Zhuang, have you ever had a meal?"
Seeing this, Xu Yi was not eager to ask about the battle situation, but instead chatted about other things.
After a while.
After Zhuang Yongguo's mood has completely stabilized.
Only then did Xu Yi ask about the battle situation.
The first half of what Zhuang Yongguo said about the battle situation was not very different from what Wen Baocai said.
The second half of what he said happened after Wen Baocai and his party left the Zhou army camp.
Around May 30th.
The Xiongnu have Zuo Dun, the king of Guli on the left, Mulianha, the king of Guli on the right, Udati, the general on the left, and Qiemo, the general on the right.
He led his troops to launch an offensive from three directions at the same time toward the Zhou army's camp.
The intention was to force the Zhou army to abandon their camp and cross the river north to flee.
Although the nearly one-foot-wide river north of the Zhou Army's camp could not trap the Zhou Army soldiers.
But it was able to trap most of the Zhou army's food, grass and baggage.
Once the Zhou army was forced by the four Xiongnu kings, they abandoned their camp and fled north across the river.
By then.
Although Zhou Jun was able to retain most of his combatable troops and horses.
But it is absolutely impossible to save the civilians of the four states in the camp and most of the food, grass and baggage.
And once most of the food, grass and baggage were lost.
If no strong reinforcements come to help.
The Zhou army, which lacked food, grass and baggage, could not escape the fate of being gradually cannibalized by the four Xiongnu kings.
That's why.
After the four kings of the Huns will launch a brazen attack.
Xia Houdong immediately ordered his nephew Xia Houjie to lead 3,000 close soldiers to garrison the north side of the camp.
He also ordered that anyone who stepped 300 steps into the river would be killed without mercy.
Subsequently.
Xia Houdong and Li Guangli mobilized their troops and took turns to defend the camp.
This war started around 10:00 on May 30th.
It lasts until the You hour on May 30th.
After this battle.
Li Guangli's more than 7,000 troops and horses lost more than 2,000.
Xiahou Dong's 27,000 troops and horses lost more than 5,000.
It is estimated.
The four Xiongnu kings lost at least 20,000 troops and horses in this battle.
The second day after the war.
That is, June 1st, around the time.
King Zuo Guli of the Xiongnu sent several envoys to the Zhou army camp to discuss what to do.
It was not until around the time of You that the envoys sent by King Zuogu Li of the Xiongnu left the Zhou army's camp.
As for what happened in these few hours.
Except for Li Guangli, Xia Houdong, Gu Zhanying and those few Huns envoys.
No one else knows.
Even though Li Ling was the general appointed by Emperor Zhengde to conquer the north, he only heard some rumors.
On June 1, King Zuo Guli of the Xiongnu sent envoys to the Zhou army’s camp.
In two consecutive days.
Except for small-scale scout conflicts between the Zhou and Hungarian armies.
There was no fighting.
About 9 o'clock on June 3rd.
Li Ling took advantage of the opportunity of patrolling the camp to send Zhuang Yongguo and other five Yan army secret agents out of the Zhou army camp.
He was ordered to inform the leading captain of the Yan army as soon as possible.
Zhuang Yongguo and other five Yan army secret agents immediately ran non-stop towards the southeast after leaving the Zhou army camp.
However, just when Zhuang Yongguo and other five Yan army secret agents arrived ten miles away from the Zhou army camp.
Suddenly he met the wolf guard scouts under the command of King Zuogu Li of the Xiongnu.
Once the enemy and our scouts meet on the battlefield.
Naturally, there are distinctions between superiority and inferiority, as well as life and death.
Although there are thirty or forty Wolf Guard scouts under King Zuo Guli.
Zhuang Yongguo and others are elites among the elites of the old trapped camp, so they will not be afraid of fighting because the enemy is numerous and we are outnumbered.
But with heavy responsibilities, Zhuang Yongguo and others would not be stupid enough to fight to the end with the Hun Wolf Guard scouts.
After the first round of confrontation.
Zhuang Yongguo and others killed nine enemies and wounded six others after paying the price of one death and one injury.
After completely missing the Hun wolf guard scouts.
Zhuang Yongguo and others headed southwest without hesitation.
During the next twenty miles of journey.
Zhuang Yongguo and his party were ambushed by multiple groups of Xiongnu scouts one after another.
Of the five people who left the camp, only Zhuang Yongguo left the Xiongnu scout ambush circle alive in the end.
The Huns scouts also paid the price of thirty-five lives and more than ten people were seriously injured.
Zhuang Yongguo, who was completely safe, ran all the way to the southeast.
Finally, he found the Yan army's temporary camp alive.
The Yan army made a temporary camp.
Inside the Chinese army's tent.
After Zhuang Yongguo recounted everything that happened in the past few days in detail.
Xu Yi, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, could not help but lowered his eyelids and remained silent for a moment.
After a while.
Xu Yi put aside all the messy thoughts in his mind.
Then he raised his eyelids and looked at Zhuang Yongguo.
"Did General Li ever mention the number of soldiers and horses under each of the four Xiongnu kings?"
"And where will the four Xiongnu kings make their respective camps?"
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment and then asked.
"Go back to your lord."
"After the war, General Li mentioned the strength of the four Xiongnu kings and the location of their camps."
"General Li said that the Huns, King Jordan of Left Valley and King Mulianha of Right Valley, joined forces after the great battle."
"The number of soldiers and horses under his command is probably around 30,000."
"The location of the camp is roughly five miles south of the main camp."
"After the battle with the number of soldiers and horses under the left general Udati of the Xiongnu, there are probably 15,000 or 6,000 soldiers left."
"The location of their camp is roughly five miles east of the main camp."
"After the battle with the Xiongnu right general Qie Mo, there are probably 14,000 to 5,000 soldiers left."
"The location of their camp is roughly five miles west of the main camp.
"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yongguo immediately answered truthfully.
"good."
"I already know this."
"Yongguo has had a lot of hard work these days."
"Let's go down and rest first."
"Wait until Chang Qianhu and his army arrive."
"Yongguo will accompany Chang Qianhu to escort the victory back to Yan."
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment and then gave instructions.
"startled."
Hear this.
A look of embarrassment instantly appeared on Zhuang Yongguo's face.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
"All the injuries on my subordinates' bodies are minor."
"It's...not serious."
"Subordinate... I can fight again."
"Also... please allow the prince to allow his subordinates to return to camp and fight again."
Zhuang Yongguo quickly stood up from the bed, leaned deeply towards Xu Yi, clasped his fists in salute, and then asked.
He also knew that Xu Yi ordered him to return to camp for his own sake.
It can be seen that people are used to the flash of swords and the shadow of swords, and are used to fighting with iron horses.
How could he be willing to return to Yan alone when everyone is fighting?
Hear this.
Xu Yi couldn't help but be silent for a few breaths.
After counting the interest.
Xu Yi once again looked at Zhuang Yongguo, who was holding his fists and bowing in disbelief.
"Get up and talk later."
"Don't let the wound open."
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment and then spoke.
"yes."
"Thank you... thank you for your love, Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yongguo's eyes turned red for a moment, and then he straightened up again.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty."
"Subordinate... I really can fight again."
"Also...please ask the prince to allow his subordinates to return to camp."
Zhuang Yongguo lowered his head and begged again.
"You really don't want to go back to Yan to recuperate?"
"Did you know if you missed this opportunity?"
“I don’t know when the next time I’ll go back to Yan will be.”
Xu Yi looked at Zhuang Yongguo and asked again.
"Go back to your lord."
"Everyone in the army fights, and his subordinates also want to fight, and his subordinates are even more eager to fight."
Zhuang Yongguo answered without hesitation, cupping his fists.
"That's it."
"I can't force myself to do anything difficult for others."
"From today on, you will stay in the central army and obey orders."
Xu Yi nodded slightly and then said yes.
"I will obey the king's orders!"
Hear this.
Zhuang Yongguo couldn't help but be overjoyed, and bowed with fists in his hands.
"No thanks."
"A minor injury will become a serious injury."
Xu Yi chuckled and stopped him.
"yes."
Hearing this, Zhuang Yongguo quickly stopped bowing, but he couldn't stop the smile on his face.
"also."
"The alias of Gu Xian is Geng Liang, and he is one of the four personal guards of Captain Xin."
"Don't let anything slip out of your mouth."
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, and then gave instructions.
"yes!"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, my subordinates will definitely keep their mouth shut and will never leak any information."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yongguo immediately said with a serious face, "Take care."
The Scarlet Blood Guard and the Wenxin Baiwei are the two most trusted secret guard organizations in Xu Yi's hands.
His loyalty to Xu Yi is naturally self-evident.
That's why.
Xu Yi will meet Zhuang Yongguo with his true face today.
Hear this.
Xu Yi nodded slightly, then turned to look at Leader Wenxin, who was always standing at the side of the tent.
"Arrange for someone to take Yongguo to treat the wound first."
Xu Yi gave instructions.
"yes!"
After hearing this, the leader of Wenxin clasped his fists and accepted the order.
Not long after.
The leader of Wenxin and Zhuang Yongguo walked out of the Chinese army's tent one after another.
"Jordon sent envoys to discuss peace..."
Wait until the figures of Leader Wenxin and Zhuang Yongguo completely disappear behind the Chinese army's tent.
Xu Yi, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, couldn't help but slightly lowered his eyelids again and murmured in a low voice.
However, he didn't wait for the ideas in his mind to be sorted out.
The leader Wenxin who sent Zhuang Yongguo away has returned to the Chinese army's tent again.
"Owner."
"Chang Qianhu orders someone to report."
"The troops have arrived five miles away from the camp."
The leader of Wenxin walked two steps away from the writing desk, then faced Xu Yi and solemnly clasped his fists to report.
"good."
Xu Yi nodded slightly, then picked up the green-faced fang mask from the side of the desk and covered his face with it again.
Then he quickly got up and left the Chinese army tent.
