The 1,000 soldiers sent by Dayuan Kingdom to chase Zhang Huogen and the others were all slaughtered by Zhang Huogen and his Wuwei soldiers, but the Wuwei soldiers also lost almost half of their numbers.
After the remaining more than 100 people buried their Paoze brothers and used the heads of 1,000 prominent soldiers to build the Jingguan, they wrote on the ground in Western language, "Those who offend our Yongzhou will be punished no matter how far away they are."
Later, Zhang Huogen, who also suffered a lot of injuries, took more than 800 sweat-blooded horses from Dawan Kingdom and chased in the direction where Zheng Zhibai and the others left.
More than a month later, when spring was about to begin, their group finally returned to Liangzhou.
Zheng Zhibai and Zhang Huogen were not unharmed along the way. Many small countries in the Western Region or thieves and gangsters also set their sights on the bloody BMW in their hands.
On the way back to Liangzhou, they experienced more than 10 plunders, large and small, and sacrificed more than 20 brothers of Wuwei Guards along the way.
In addition, the feeding of sweat-blooded horses is extremely exquisite. When I returned to Liangzhou with them, there were originally more than 800 sweat-blooded horses, but in the end there were less than 500 horses left.
As soon as he returned to the border of Liangzhou, Zheng Zhibai immediately sent someone to report the purchase of the sweat-blooded BMW in the Western Region to Wang Dachui in detail.
Now that spring is about to begin, Zhou Yi has also taken the lead in arriving at Liangzhou, which is closer to the Xiongnu.
Wang Dachui, who had just received the letter, thought it was Zheng Zhibai who had successfully purchased Dawan's bloody BMW.
But after Wang Dachui read the letter, he became so angry that he smashed the glass bowl with braised beef noodles and ham sausage in his hand.
Seeing Wang Dachui being so angry, Zhou Yi, who was holding a wolf-toothed potato with a toothpick, couldn't help but asked in confusion: "What's going on? You are so angry today. Could it be that something happened in the Western Regions?"
Wang Dachui handed the letter handed over to Zhou Yi and said, "Brother Yi, read it yourself!"
Before Zhou Yi could finish reading the letter, Wang Dachui cursed: "Damn it, that bastard King of Dayuan is so ungrateful that he swallowed up our gold without giving us our hard-earned money, and even sent troops to chase and kill our envoys. "
"Brother Yi, why don't we go and smash the head of the king of Dawan Kingdom first! This will help us establish our reputation in the Western Regions."
Zhou Yi shook his head and gave Wang Dachui a detailed analysis: "The reason why the king of Dawan dared to devour our gold and pursue our envoys is probably because he has the support of the Hun Empire behind him."
"Since ancient times, we have been making close friends with each other, and now the Huns are our biggest concern. Spring is about to begin. After the snow melts, let's put the Huns on the ground and rub them for a while, and then chase them along the way when we have enough energy. All the small countries in the Western Region that killed our envoys have been wiped out."
"If we allocate our energy now to deal with the Dawan Kingdom and those small countries in the Western Regions, the Xiongnu Karasuma Chanyu may take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in. Then it will be bad for us to be attacked from both sides!"
Wang Dachui stamped his feet angrily, stamping on the ground three times so hard that his feet were numb.
Zhou Yi waved his hand and called his servants to deal with the instant noodles that Wang Dachui smashed in anger, and then ordered someone to make another bowl of instant noodles for Wang Dachui.
At the same time, Zhouyi's memorial to Chen Emperor Li Rui to invite him to fight had been submitted to the court.
Years ago, many people in the court knew that Yan Kuan, the Yongzhou military envoy, was captured by the Khitans. They all knew that it was actually controlled by Zhou Yi himself.
The treacherous prime minister Yan Song bowed his head and surrendered for the sake of his son, so no one in the court publicly mentioned Zhou Yi's kidnapping of Yan Song's son.
But now, Zhou Yi actually wrote a letter to attack the Huns at the beginning of spring and retake the territory occupied by the Huns decades ago.
As soon as this memorial came out, all the ministers headed by Yan Song were in an uproar.
For Chen Guo, the Xiongnu and Khitan were more fierce enemies than any opponent.
The two tribes claimed to be descendants of wolves, took killing as an honor, and even compared Chen Guolun to a sheep.
As the saying goes, "a wolf brings forth a thousand sheep." When war is approaching, any herdsman from the Xiongnu or Khitan can scare away thousands of Chen people.
Although Zhou Yi led the Yongzhou soldiers and horses to repel the invasion of the Huns and Khitans in these wars, the weakness in the bones of the civilian and military generals in the Chen court has not been cured.
Therefore, in their view, Zhou Yi's initiative to ask for war to attack the Xiongnu was completely a waste of national power.
Only the old thief Yan Song, who had lost his wife and lost his army, knew that Zhou Yi had gained the 20 million taels of silver from him and had the confidence to do that.
Since his son came back, his whole temperament has changed drastically.
Yan Kuan, who used to like to hang out in romantic places, now actually brought the pretty girl home.
Yan Song knew that his son was once a man with normal sexual orientation, but now...it's really hard to describe!
Yan Song didn't know how much torture his son had suffered in Beidi before his whole person changed.
Because Yan Song knew that he could never go along with Zhou Yi's wishes and get His Majesty to agree to his Northern Expedition to the Huns.
So Yan Song winked and asked his officials to start making suggestions to Emperor Li Rui.
"Your Majesty, you must not do it! Now that the national treasury is empty, we cannot support the Yongzhou army in the Northern Expedition of the Huns."
"The Xiongnu are extremely ferocious. Although they won a small victory in the previous two battles, their bones and muscles were not damaged. Zhou Yi, the general of Tiance, actually underestimated the Xiongnu because of this. Such an arrogant soldier will be defeated by the Xiongnu. Please give your Majesty a clear warning and do not approve Tiance. General, attack the Huns in the north."
…
Although Wei Zhongxian is an eunuch and has no balls, he is more talented than some people who have balls.
Wei Zhongxian immediately stood up and warned: "Since Chen Xing, barbarians have entered the border areas in large numbers. Small ones will make small profits, large ones will make big profits. They attack cities, massacre towns, and plunder livestock products. The people are living in dire straits."
"General Tiance also wrote a letter. Now that the troops in the north have sharpened, and the offensive and defensive momentum is different, the enemy can go to our great army. This will not only take back the old land that was occupied decades ago, but also increase the number of people. Your Majesty has a great reputation. Why would your Majesty not do such a thing that kills two birds with one stone?"
Li Rui, who was sitting on the throne, also felt that what Wei Zhongxian said was reasonable. Just when he was about to agree, he saw Yan Song standing up to state his interests again.
"Your Majesty, we have already attacked the Khitan once before the beginning of spring. If we attack the Xiongnu again this time, I am afraid that the Khitan will take advantage of the situation and move in. By then, General Zhou will probably be attacked from both sides. I guess General Zhou did not think of this!"
At this moment, if Zhou Yi were here, he would definitely point at Yan Song's nose and curse: "Damn it, I'm just taking advantage of the current internal chaos of the Khitan people, and the four emperors and eight tribes on the grassland are not obeying anyone else." , so I have to think about taking care of the Xiongnu first, and then go to take care of the Khitan."
"Moreover, the treasury is empty now. If Your Majesty supports General Zhou's Northern Expedition to the Xiongnu, then the Yaochi you want to build may be..." Yan Song stopped talking at this point.
