We were almost reaching the grassland tribe, and Zhamuhe received news from the soldiers.
"Big...King..."
Seeing that the soldiers looked a little ugly, Zhamuhe was a little unhappy.
"Say! Why are you hesitating?"
The soldiers lowered their heads and murmured cowardly.
"Your Majesty, I just came to report that there was actually no ambush at Beiping Pass. Before our army arrived, Wood had already evacuated with a large force. At that time, there were not even... less than a hundred people guarding Beiping Pass."
Zhamuhe's eyes suddenly widened.
"What? There are less than a hundred people!?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. According to one of the captured horsemen, there were only more than a hundred soldiers pretending to be common people in the pass at that time, as well as the prince and his two protective generals."
Hearing this, Zhamuhe's expression became surprised again.
"What did you say? The person sitting on that tower is the crown prince of Daqing!?"
At that time, he saw the young man sitting on the tower of the city gate. He had a majestic appearance. Zhamuhe was thinking about which Daqing general or counselor he was. Facing hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops, he even frowned. Not even a wrinkle.
I never expected that this young man would be the one who defeated their army with Saruman in the Kingdom of India, Daqing Prince Liu Qi?
Zhamuhe slapped himself hard on the forehead with a very regretful expression.
If he had known that the person sitting on the city tower was the Prince of Daqing, Zhamuhe would have led his troops to attack the city without hesitation, even if there was an ambush inside.
If the prince of Daqing can be captured alive, not only can he use this to threaten Daqing, but the Xiongnu's reputation among the countries will also reach an unimaginable peak in the future.
Even if the prince was not captured alive, it could be considered that the Xiongnu severely defeated Daqing.
Daqing sent another coalition force and then the prince. As a result, not only were they defeated by the Xiongnu, but the prince was also killed.
If this spreads out, won't other countries take the initiative to have sex with the Xiongnu? Zhamuhe's reputation will also be spread in the grasslands, even surpassing that of previous princes.
But there is no regret medicine in the world. If you miss it, you will miss it.
The most important thing is not only that this opportunity was missed, but also in such a very embarrassing way.
Zhamuhe could even imagine what the people from the grassland tribe would say in the future.
The prince of Daqing scared off Zhamuhe's army of hundreds of thousands by playing just one piece of music! !
Shame on you! It can be said to be a great shame! !
There was fire in Zhamuhe's eyes, he pulled the soldier over and asked him immediately.
"Where are all Daqing's troops gone now?"
the soldier responded.
"Your Majesty, it is reported that everyone has retreated to the nearest Yongcheng. Now not only is Pingbei Pass empty, but the surrounding villages and the people of Pingzhuang have all been evacuated..."
Zhamuhe knew that this time, he had lost the best opportunity to destroy Daqing.
Yongcheng is different from Pingbeiguan. The terrain there is steep and the walls are high.
Now that Daqing's hundreds of thousands of soldiers are in the city, just like him, let alone ten days and a half month, even if he is given half a year, he may not be able to defeat them.
"well!"
After letting out a long sigh, Zhamuhe could only lead his troops and continue to withdraw towards the grassland tribe.
During this process, he deeply remembered this shame in his mind, and even more so the person who brought him this shame, the Prince of Daqing, Liu Qi!
...
"Brother, why are you here?"
At present, Liu Qi is still in Yongcheng, letting his army repair and defend at the same time. The Huns may return to invade the territory again at any time.
But the Xiongnu did not wait, but waited for Liu Xuan and the 20,000 soldiers and horses he brought over.
"I am here to support you according to your father's will?"
Seeing Liu Qi, Liu Xuan's face was also full of doubts.
When we arrived in the north, we heard that the army was now in Yongcheng, so we rushed over without stopping.
When I arrived here, I saw that not only the troops from the northern border were here, but also all the reinforcements sent earlier were gathered here.
After Liu Qi's slow narration, Liu Xuancai finally understood what happened in the northern border.
Liu Xuan looked shocked.
"The emperor...the emperor's uncle is dead?"
"Yes, he was seriously injured. I have ordered the sergeant to escort the emperor's uncle's coffin back to the capital overnight."
Liu Xuan and Prince Su had never had any feelings for each other. When Liu Qi said this, he felt symbolically sad for a while and then asked.
"What about the general who attacked the Huns this time? I heard from my father that he was a general named Yu Pengji."
Liu Qi nodded.
"Yes, he asked me to kill him!!"
Hearing this, Liu Xuan jumped up from his seat.
"What? Third brother, you killed the leading coach!? Third brother, third brother, do you know that what you did is a serious crime!"
Liu Xuan's words were not wrong.
After all, they are two armies. Although Liu Qi is the prince, he is not their commander. If he wants to question Yu Pengji, that is the emperor's business and has nothing to do with him Liu Qi.
But now Liu Qi privately beheaded Yu Pengji, and he was also the commander-in-chief of an army, so this was considered as overstepping the emperor and beheading the general privately.
Furthermore, no matter what crime Yu Pengji committed, he had to go through formal procedures and be escorted to Tingwei Mansion. After Zhang Shi's examination, the emperor would convict him. How could he just be beheaded?
It is true that General Tayu led the troops to conquer the Huns and made a big mistake, but at least he led the troops back. He was not a rebel, and he did not do anything bad to Daqing in a practical sense.
"Third brother, does the court know about your situation now?"
Seeing Liu Xuan's panic, Liu Qi smiled.
"Of course I know. When I was at Beiping Pass, I had someone write down the situation here and report it to my father. It should have been spread to Qingdu when you came."
In Liu Qixi's mind, what is supposed to come will always come, and there is no way to hide.
From beginning to end, it is a game in itself.
Whatever he did was done, and he had no regrets. Even if he had to do it all over again, he would still do it! ! !
General Yu, that idiot, caused Daqing to lose tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and also caused the death of Prince Su. No matter what, even if Jesus came that day, he would never be able to save him! ! !
In fact, Liu Qi knows better than anyone else.
Even if they don't kill General Yu, Yang Wenyuan and the others will definitely think of ways to splash the dirty water on their heads this time.
Moreover, this time Yu Pengji took the initiative to attack the Huns. Not only Prince Su, but even he himself knew that he must have been instructed by those people.
Although, in this matter, the Huns did give people an opportunity to annihilate them.
However, General Yu was too anxious. Whether he came from Yizhou or wanted the Huns to attack, it was as if he was going to the market.
Just in Liu Qi's thoughts.
"Third brother! You're done!"
These words were like opening a light.
Not long after Liu Xuan finished speaking, a soldier came outside and said that a father-in-law came from Qingdu.
Generally speaking, if the father-in-law can come forward to issue an order, then this matter must be no small matter.
"Liu Qi has received the order and from now on, he will quickly return to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit without any reason or excuse. Otherwise, he will be punished by death!"
