Ever since Wu Ji led [-] cavalrymen deep into the Mobei prairie, Gao Yang, the deputy governor of Youzhou, has lived in fear every day, fearing that one day he would suddenly hear the news that Wu Ji died and the entire army was wiped out.

Every day, he sent a large number of sentry cavalry to investigate northward, going deep into the prairie, trying to find and even persuade Wu Ji and the three thousand cavalry to return.

But God knows how good Wu Ji can run, and how deep he has penetrated into the hinterland of Mobei. In short, he sent so many sentry riders to search for a month or two, but he didn't find any trace of Wu Ji and those 3000 people , It can be said that there is no one who is alive but no dead body.

The only good news they know is that these sentry riders discovered that some Dihu tribes were attacked by unknown troops, all their people were killed, their wealth was robbed, and even the entire tribe's camp was burned.

Gao Yang vaguely guessed that Wu Ji should be responsible for this matter. After all, they went deep alone and did not carry rations with them, so they could only obtain food and grass supplies by attacking and plundering the tribes of the Dihu people.

Although Wu Ji's move was very pleasing to the hearts of the people, it gave a bad breath to the Han people who had died tragically under the iron hooves and machetes of the Dihu people for many years.But Gao Yang was even more disturbed. After all, Wu Ji was now in the hinterland of Mobei, surrounded by enemies. He was burning, killing, looting, murdering and setting fire on the territory of the Dihu people. The Dihu people and their new Khan Helian How can Tao swallow this breath? Once they mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress Wu Ji, a lone army that has penetrated into Mobei, their situation will be even more dangerous, and if they are not careful, the entire army will be wiped out.

If that day really comes, he will die if he dies. I am afraid that not only will he be blamed, but also His Royal Highness King Qi who "recommended" Wu Ji to come to Youzhou will be implicated.

Thinking of this, Gao Yang couldn't help but secretly made up his mind that if the matter really came to that point, he would bear all the responsibility for his ineffective care, and never implicate His Highness King Qi.

But at this moment, a soldier hurried into Gao Yang's mansion, and brought him a piece of news that surprised him——

The sentry cavalry they sent out found Wu Ji and more than 2000 cavalry led by him a dozen miles away from the Guan wall, on their way to Youzhou.

As soon as Gao Yang heard that he could still sit still, he immediately left the mansion and rode a fast horse to the checkpoint. Anyway, it would be nice if Wu Ji could return to Youzhou alive, and he wanted to meet him in person.

He had even made up his mind that as soon as he saw Wu Ji, he would ignore 21, and immediately send troops to escort him back to Luoyang overnight, and he must never stay in Youzhou to harm his soldiers again.

But even so, Gao Yang still admires Wu Ji in his heart. He went deep into the vast prairie, surrounded by enemies, and other generals did not lose their way. Based on this, he thought he couldn't do it, as long as he had more experience and time, he could become a general with his own strength.

When Gao Yang arrived at the checkpoint, there was already a commotion outside the closed gate, and many cavalrymen were kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, wantonly venting their emotions.

They followed Wu Ji deep into the Mobei prairie and escaped death. I don’t know how many Dihu people died under their swords. They have long been numb to killing, but watching a certain comrade-in-arms around them suddenly fall on the battlefield one day, it is still inevitable. Anxiety, wondering whether the next person who is polite to a foreign land will be me.

Now that they saw the closed wall in Youzhou, looked at familiar faces, and heard the familiar local accent, they were finally sure that they had returned to the Central Plains alive, and they could no longer restrain the turbulent emotions in their hearts. What Gao Yang saw.

Gao Yang saw it in his eyes, and felt a little sour in his heart. The resentment against them for not obeying orders to follow Wu Ji to the north has long since dissipated. Anyway, it would be great if most of them could return to Youzhou alive. Look at them all crying and rushing to the ground, they must have suffered from the Dihu people outside the Great Wall.

After all, they are also victims. If Wu Ji, the second generation ancestor, had not deceived and coerced them to go north together, how could they have fallen into such a situation.

Thinking of this, Gao Yang couldn't help looking for Wu Ji among the crowd.

Soon, he saw Wu Ji riding his horse towards him, his face full of unconcealable pride, Gao Yang was so angry that he couldn't help but snorted coldly:

"I heard that Captain Wu is very majestic outside the Great Wall, and he killed the Dihu people without any helmets or armor."

Wu Ji couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and his tone was full of complacency: "The high deputy governor is too famous, the man is alive, he should carry the three-foot sword, and spread his prestige in the foreign lands outside the Great Wall, and expand the territory for the king. Inside, let the foreign races wreak havoc outside the pass, coveting the land of the Central Plains."

Gao Yang was in a daze for a while, wondering if Wu Ji was overwhelmed with joy when he came back alive, or he was mocking himself for leading Youzhou but he couldn't shrink back and dared not go out to fight the Dihu people.

However, he has been up and down for many years, so naturally he would not care about Wu Ji, a hairless boy, but he said in a bad mood: "What Wu Duwei said is very true, it's just that Wu Duwei went deep into the Mobei expedition to Dihu this time. , I don’t know what to gain.”

It’s okay for Gao Yang not to ask, but the smile on Wu Ji’s face became stronger when he asked: “Too many Dihu people were killed, and we didn’t even have time to count them... Just in time, Vice Governor Gao sent someone to help us count them.”

Gao Yang felt a little disapproving. He learned from the sentinels that Wu Ji had led his army to attack some Dihu tribes. In his opinion, Wu Ji's military exploits were nothing more than those old and weak women and children who could not escape. It seems that these so-called military exploits are really not on the stage, which is almost the same as killing good men and taking meritorious deeds.

However, Wu Ji was also recommended by His Royal Highness King Qi, and he was in the same camp as him, so it was not easy for him to refute his face, so he ordered someone to call the civil servants in the army, and asked him to count his military achievements.

As soon as they heard that they were going to count their battle achievements, the more than 2000 soldiers who were still howling stopped crying for an instant. They untied their rucksacks one after another, and poured out their ears one by one.

The other soldiers were in an uproar in an instant, and their eyes couldn't help showing envy. After all, everyone knew that what was on the ground was not just an ear, but also a stroke of military exploits, and even a stroke of extremely rich money. Reward silver.

Gao Yang looked at his scalp tingling, and wondered in his heart how many tribes these people had conquered, how many old and weak women and children had been slaughtered.

Although Wu Ji is a rare genius in a millennium in leading the army, he is still a young man after all. Seeing everyone's admiring eyes, he couldn't help laughing proudly: "These ears are all from Di Hu's young and strong. If you still count For those old and weak women and children, I'm afraid there will be more than four or five times more."

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but change their expressions, even Gao Yang was a little shocked.

Wu Ji did not brag. When he attacked the first tribe, many soldiers wanted to cut off the ears of the old, weak, women and children according to the custom. In the end, Wu Ji scolded him bloody, saying that this kind of behavior is different from killing the good and pretending to be meritorious. It is a loss of their own reputation. In the end, they just cut off Di Hu's Qingzhuang ears, but that's the case, and the number is astonishing enough up.

Gao Yang finally realized that he still underestimated Wu Ji. He thought that he could lead most of the soldiers to retreat safely from Mobei, which was against the sky, but he did not expect Wu Ji's gains in Mobei Prairie to be so fruitful.

At this moment, Gao Yang not only admired Wu Ji's military talent deeply, but also admired Xiao Jie's knowledge of people. If he hadn't had his eyesight and knowledge, and tried his best to create an opportunity for the fledgling Wu Ji, how could Wu Ji be able to do so? Such an astonishing achievement.

It took several clerks more than an hour to count the number of ears, and there were 830 ears.

There is also a head among them, which is from Ilig, the head of the Khan's personal guard who is known as the first warrior of Dihu. Because his identity is too special, Wu Ji did not just cut off his ears, but took He returned his head so that other people could see that he Wu Ji not only can attack tribes, but also can fight tough battles face to face. In his opinion, the number one warrior of Dihu is just a bid to sell Seoul.

All the soldiers present gasped. After all, 3000 of them attacked outside the Great Wall and actually beheaded three times as many Dihu people as themselves.

Moreover, they actually defeated the most elite Khan's personal guards of the Dihu people, and even the number one warrior of Dihu, Ilig, became their dead soul under the knife.

At this moment, everyone's heart is full of mixed feelings, mixed feelings, admiration, envy, jealousy, and so on.

Gao Yang also changed his mind on the spot, and directly ordered people to kill chickens and sheep to entertain the soldiers who had returned from the great victory, and let them set off for Beijing immediately after they had enough food and drink.

At the same time, he himself did not forget to repair a letter and send someone to send it to Luoyang urgently for eight hundred miles to report the victory.

After all, he has also been the Zhijinwu for several years, so he knows very well what kind of scenes their emperor likes to see.
