Glancing at Dou Tong slightly, Luo Luohu then said unhurriedly: "Just like Master Tan Shihuai, Tan Shihuai Khan was also defeated when he was young! No one can always win!"
"We were indeed careless in this battle, and the Han people found an opportunity... But it doesn't matter, we Xianbei tribe have countless warriors. I will personally apologize to Master Tan Shihuai for this battle!"
After hearing this, everyone immediately relaxed a little. There was no other way. After the defeat, countless issues had to be considered. As generals and tribal nobles in the Luohu Army, these people were not the first to think about the delay. How many soldiers of our tribe have been lost, how many cattle, sheep and horses have been lost, but who should bear the consequences of this defeat.
According to common sense, if the army is defeated, then the generals in the army must be mainly responsible for Luoluohu. However, these Xianbei nobles do not know that Luoluohu has a bad character. They do all kinds of unreasonable things on weekdays. According to what everyone thinks, Everyone thought that Luo Luohu would throw the blame and shirk the responsibility in a rage, but now that he can take the initiative to stand up, it has exceeded many people's expectations.
Luo Luohu's face was expressionless and he looked very tired, but it was precisely because of this that he looked a little gloomy at this time.
Luoluohu glanced around at the Xianbei generals and nobles, and then spoke softly and stopped one after another.
After receiving the order, some Xianbei generals sent some cavalry to disperse and gather up the Xianbei soldiers who had fled after last night's defeat. Others went to Tanhan Mountain to report to the Great Khan Tan Shihuai. There was nothing they could do. Even though they lost the battle, they still had to take the initiative to tell Tan Shihuai, otherwise, Tan Shihuai might be the one to slash their necks with his saber next time.
After saying some things about the aftermath, Luo Luohu waved weakly to let the Xianbei people disperse. Then he slowly stood up and came to Dou Tong, who was feeding his horse not far away.
"Quick, quick, let our horses rest for a while and eat some food. They might have to run away later!"
Dou Tong was instructing his guests and family to take advantage of this short opportunity to rest, but what he said sounded so harsh.
After hearing this, Luo Luohu remained expressionless and walked quietly behind Dou Tong. When Dou Tong turned around without noticing, he saw a pale middle-aged man staring straight at him. Himself, and not saying a word.
Dou Tong was really shocked. For some reason, he suddenly felt guilty at this moment. He could only look around, thinking that he would not really be discovered, right?
The distance between the two people was like a stalemate for a few breaths, and then Luo Luohu put away his scrutinizing gaze and sighed.
"Hey Mr. Dou, I'm letting you see the joke this time! I didn't expect that you would be involved in such an ugly thing just after you surrendered to me, Xianbei."
The words "Luohu" refer to the defeat itself, because if it had been in the past, if the Han army had sent troops to seize the cattle, sheep, horses and Han slaves from the Xianbei people and then taken them back, the Xianbei people would not have become decadent at all. Yes, they will only say that this time it is too unlucky.
And if the Han army made a sneak attack on the Xianbei people and defeated the Xianbei army of 10,000 people with only five or six thousand people, then it can only mean that things are really big!
Luo Luohu only wanted to say one word in his mind to describe the impact of this war, that is, I am afraid that there will be another article in the history books of the Han people telling how heroic the Han general was and how incompetent he was in Luohu. , and then this year the Han army defeated the large number with a small number and defeated the Xianbei army. This will definitely be wildly publicized by the Han Emperor throughout the Han Empire!
There is no other reason. This is a battle involving more than ten thousand people!
Dou Tong smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say in reply to Luo Luohu.
The feeling of settling in Luohu this time was different from before...
"Forget it, let's not mention this in advance. First, I would like to thank Mr. Dou for calmly giving orders during the rebellion. Otherwise, I would have died outside Qiangyin City last night if I had relied on those idiots to command me... .I only thought you were a fool before, but today it seems you still have some ability."
Dou Tong's face froze, and he didn't know whether Luo Luohu's words were praising him or still scolding him.
"Mr. Dou, I would like to know who led the Han army that attacked at night last night? You are the governor of Yanmen County, so you must know that person?"
Dou Tong breathed out a sigh of relief, thinking that after settling down in Luohu, he would really keep people like Zhang Fan in his heart from now on.
"Well, I do know! Even if I don't tell, the battle last night will soon spread throughout Hebei beyond the Great Wall... The leader of the dozens of Han knights riding white horses last night, Lord Luoluo Did you see clearly? That’s the person from Mayi Zhang’s “Sihai Hao”!”
Dou Tong said, and while he was talking, the Luoluohu listened carefully and then nodded.
"There is a young man giving orders among those white horse knights. Didn't you see him when you came to pick me up before? That is the Han general in this battle, the young master of the Zhang family in Mayi, and the young master of the "Sihai", Zhang Fan !”
To Dou Tong's surprise, the Luoluohu who heard this already knew what he was talking about and nodded gently: "Who is that extremely brave Han knight? He seems to be from the 'Sihai' too?"
Dou Tong nodded slightly: "That man's name is Lu Bu. He is a refugee from Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County a few years ago! He has been living in the 'Sihai' and his martial arts is extremely outstanding! I remember that he seemed to have been promoted to a Very small and very long.”
Luo Luohu frowned slightly, but nodded slightly: "Why can Zhang Fan lead the army? He doesn't have a military position?"
Dou Tong finally smiled when he heard this, and Luo Luohu looked up in confusion.
"Alas, Master Luo Luo still doesn't understand us Han people! Do you Xianbei people have to be military generals to command the army in battle? Not necessarily!"
"Speaking of it, Zhang Fan actually does have an official position. He is the Deputy Historian of Military Affairs in my county governor's mansion. Although he is just a humble official, he is extremely rare. He is only seventeen years old this year!"
Luo Luohu squinted his eyes slightly and could see that even though he had heard many things about Zhang Fan from others, he still didn't know the details.
"I know that this pan seems to have been evaluated by one of your famous Han people. I heard that the evaluation is very high?"
Dou Tong nodded, his gaze became deep and profound: "Yes, that Han man is called Guo Tai, and his reputation is very great in our Han region. And there is a saying that if the world is peaceful, he will be the pillar of the country; if the world is unstable, he will be the hero of the world. !', haha, even judging from my decades of experience, it is extremely extraordinary!"
Luo Luohu's eyelids twitched: "Oh? It seems that this pan-future achievement will be very great?"
"Of course!" Dou Tong looked at Luo Luohu with great interest: "Originally, I thought he only knew political affairs and had extremely outstanding abilities. In the future, he should have an official position of Jiuqing... But looking at it today Well... I didn’t expect him to be involved in military affairs!”
"Therefore, according to my estimation, this pan-future must belong to the three princes!"
"So you just asked me why this man, who clearly does not have a serious military position, can still command these thousands of Han cavalry. This is the reason! And the reputation of his 'Sihai Hao' is there , who doesn’t know Zhang Shaojun from Mayi! And I estimate that they should also have serious documents."
"Haha, not to mention Yanmen, at least most people in Bingzhou dare to believe that this piece of pan-future will definitely be the 'pillar of the country'!"
Luo Luohu finally nodded, it was enough after hearing who attacked him last night!
Now, he still had to face the wrath of Tan Shihuai Khan, so he gave instructions to everyone.
"Let's go! Rebound to Khan Mountain!"
...
The Luoluohu who suffered a huge defeat fled back to Danhan Mountain in embarrassment. On the other side, Zhang Fan and Zhang Shaojun, who had won the first battle, had now turned around and returned to Mayi, leaving the aftermath to Wang Ze and Guo Dian.
After a little estimation, it is estimated that about 2,000 people were beheaded in this battle, and then roughly 4,000 people escaped. About 2,000 people were captured, and a total of 2,000 people were burned to death and trampled to death.
There were countless other cattle, sheep, and horses, but it was a pity that there was not much food and grass. The Xianbei people had no intention of fighting a protracted war.
Following Zhang Fan back to Mayi were Zhang Ping and Cao Xing. However, Hao Meng, Song Xian, Hou Cheng and Li Su, who were originally under Lu Bu, were still cleaning the battlefield under Wang Ze.
Wei Yue was beaming with joy on the way back. He kept talking to Cao Xing about last night's night attack, and even Cheng Lian chimed in from time to time.
After entering Mayi City and returning to the Zhang family, Zhang Fan rarely felt a strange feeling, even though he had only been away from home for less than ten days.
However, Zhang Fan was feeling a little exhausted both physically and mentally at this time. Without him, the whole thing from secretly operating to personally leading the night attack was a huge drain on his energy.
But before Zhang Fan, who had just arrived home, had a moment to rest, servants came one after another, saying that the head of the house wanted to see Shaojun for something, and that Zhang Ping also sent people over, etc.
Zhang Fan gave a bitter smile and had no choice but to walk out. What he saw was a servant sent by Zhang Ping. He said that since Lord Dou Tong had resigned, the books and things in his mansion were still not sorted out. What should be done about this matter.
After hearing this, Zhang Fan felt a move in his heart and secretly thought that he had neglected this matter and must not delay it. If someone was interested in this matter later, it might lead to a series of troubles, so even his uncle had no time to deal with him. , and hurriedly called Cheng Lian, who was also tired, and went out.
What they are going to now is Zhiyinguan County, Yanmen County. This place is connected to Mayi, so the road is very close.
"In the winter of the fourth year of Xiping Dynasty, the people from the west of Xianbei settled down and sent thousands of people south to Yanmen. At that time, Dou Tong, the prefect of Yanmen, had already rushed to Xianbei. Wang Ze, the chief historian, tied up his hands. The emperor stepped forward and sent thousands of cavalry to attack the Xianbei camp at night. , Shun and other soldiers were brave, and finally defeated them, and their fame spread to Hebei." - "Book of Later Jin" Volume 1 "The Chronicles of Gaozu"
