Hanhou

Chapter 263

The military official Shan Yu died in battle, and the Huns were leaderless. Desperation spread rapidly, and they were completely reduced to a mess.

The retinues of the other divisions were destroyed first, followed by the warriors of the headquarters.More than a hundred imperial court guards fought to the end, until the evening, when the last person fell, the whole battle was completely over.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air, crows were circling in the air, and the corpses of centaurs and horses, as well as broken bows and arrows, short knives and spears could be seen everywhere on the ground.

Before it was dark, the Han army quickly cleared the battlefield and carried out the body of the same robe.And there are thousands of cavalry patrolling around the battlefield, driving away the wolves that appear at night and the crows that are gathering more and more.

Inside the Han army camp, Li Xi, Zhi Du, and Li Guang were busy writing battle reports.

This battle not only wiped out nearly [-] Xiongnu, but also captured the Xiongnu Zuo Xianwang alive, beheaded the Xiongnu Da Shanyu and You Xianwang.If they can take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack, Zuoguli King Yi Zhixie and Youguli King who escaped from Shanggu County by chance may not be impossible to win.

It's just that, in the previous battles, the losses of the Han army were also not small. Without supplements, it is definitely not a good idea to rush into the grassland.

Aside from Bianjun Buqi, only the Son of Heaven's army led by Zhao Jia, Wei Yue and others suffered more than [-]% casualties.If the reinforcements from Zhidu hadn't arrived in time, even if they could win in the end, the casualties of the Han army would have increased further in the face of the crazy Huns.

When Li Guang and others were writing the battle report, Zhao Jia and Han Yan hurriedly checked the list of generals and soldiers, unfolded the silk and bamboo slips, and recorded them one by one against the blood-stained wooden plaques.

Every time the two wrote down a name, they would write down their place of origin and place of birth, and then set aside a line to wait until Hu Qi's head was counted, which was specially used to record the military exploits.

From dusk to late at night, the lights in the tent flickered, Zhao Jia and Han Yan never stopped writing before leaning over their desks, even if they missed feeding, they didn't even use it.

When Wei Yue, Li Danghu and Cao Shi visited the camp and returned from outside, the newly recorded bamboo slips and cloth had piled up into a hill, but there were still more than half of the list to be checked.

"Aduo, Wang Sun, you haven't rested?" Li Danghu put down his helmet, picked up a bamboo slip, flipped through the contents, and asked in surprise.

"No." Zhao Jia paused writing for a short while, moved his fingers a few times, and pinched the center of his brows, "The battle report will be sent out soon. Before that, we need to check the soldiers who died in battle. The military exploits are recorded truthfully, and the sorcerers sacrifice them. You can send him home."

The early Han Dynasty was similar to the Qin Dynasty, and only those who had military exploits could be awarded titles.

It is not Liu who is not a king, and no one can be a prince without merit. Zhou Yafu used this to veto Emperor Jing's letter to the king.Although there are several parties involved in this matter, there are many articles behind it, which is not as simple as it looks on the surface, but it can also be said from the side. If you want to be knighted in the Han Dynasty and enjoy the benefits brought by the knighthood, you must gain something on the battlefield , Fight out with real swords and guns.

This time against the Huns, judging from the results, it can be described as a remarkable record.

The losses of the Han army were equally heavy, with more than [-] casualties from generals to soldiers.Even though it was no longer the same as in the previous dynasty, there were too many dead and injured, not only futile, but also to be discussed. With the cold numbers in front of him, Zhao Jia still felt blocked in his heart, his throat was dry, and the root of his nose was sore.

After listening to Zhao Jia's explanation, Cao Shi opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Li Danghu, who shook his head at him.

It is true that kindness does not command soldiers, and wars do kill people. However, these soldiers followed them out of Chang'an, but now they died in battle, and their heroic souls remained in the frontier.Precipitated from the emotions of victory, seeing the names recorded on the bamboo slips, the heart is inevitably heavy.

Wei Yue didn't make a sound, just put down his helmet, took off his saber, sat beside Zhao Jia, fetched two scrolls of bamboo slips, hung them with a pen, referred to Zhao Jia's records, and began to write word by word.

When Li Danghu let Cao go, he also took the bamboo slips.

Cao Shi took off his helmet, sat beside Han Yan, and moved half of the bamboo slips with his hands.

Han Yan looked up at him, but didn't say anything, pointing to the blank bamboo slips in the account, said: "Your Majesty writes fast, so it will be of great help."

"Jun Hou writes fast?" Zhao Jia asked in surprise.

When they were in Chang'an, they got along day and night and knew each other very well.It was the first time he knew Cao Shi's advantage.

Cao Shi didn't make a sound, just picked up the pen, wrote half a volume at twice the speed of Han Yan, and then handed it to Zhao Jia.

Zhao Jia took it smoothly, feeling even more surprised.

Cao Shi not only writes fast, but also has excellent calligraphy.If he hadn't watched him write the pen in person, he would probably have thought it was a handwritten letter by a famous person.

"My family has always been good at this way, I just learned the superficial."

Seeing Zhao Jia's amazed expression, he was obviously very impressed, Cao Shi solemnly said that his calligraphy is very ordinary, and the real master of calligraphy is his own father.

It is his eternal nightmare to hope that his son will become a dragon, and the blue is better than the blue.He really didn't want to recall the experience of practicing this handwriting, he would cry when thinking of it, and would wake up from a dream.

Digging out other people's "pain" has never been Zhao Jia's style, and Han Yan kept blinking, and Wei Yue reminded him, so he immediately put down the bamboo slips and changed the topic from Shanruliu.

Zhao Jia and Wei Yue gathered in the tent, writing non-stop, and spent the whole night checking the list.

At dawn, the soldiers outside the tent came to report, saying that the three envoys had a request, and they just rubbed their sore wrists, hurriedly adjusted their armor, raised their sabers and went to the big tent.

After sitting in front of the candle for too long, and after writing dozens of bamboo slips, it is inevitable that my eyes will become dry.The curtain was lifted, and the sun was shining from the top of his head. Zhao Jia didn't pay attention to it, and there was a sharp pain in his eyes, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red.

Wei Yue immediately lifted the cloak to block the sunlight for him.It wasn't until the situation improved a little that he took a step back to check his condition.

"Is it okay?"

Zhao Jia pressed the corners of his eyes and nodded to Wei Yue when the tingling pain disappeared.

The two were very close, and Li Danghu and Cao Shi had already gotten used to it, and they didn't notice any difference.Han Yan was in a similar situation to Zhao Jia, it was Cao Shi who imitated Wei Yue and blocked him for a while before opening his eyes.

In this way, it seemed that Wei Yue's actions were very natural, without any abruptness.

Even the three envoys who just happened to walk out of the big tent and had a panoramic view of this scene lamented their "comradeship" and didn't think much about it at all.

Li Guang even glared at Li Danghu. He was a brother who was born and died, and brothers who fought side by side. Why was he the only one who reacted so slowly?

Li Danghu said he was innocent.

Putting Wang Sun aside, Ah Duo and Ji Yu have been friends for many years. In the current situation, let alone his help is not needed at all, even if he took the initiative, he might still be disgusted.

The three of them went to Chang'an together, entered the new camp together, made their mark in the martial arts together, became the emperor's army, got along with each other day by day, the keys to this, he has long since learned beyond his ability.

It's okay to get together, what if Wei Jiyu is under the black hand?

He's not that stupid!

After eating, Zhao Jia and five people read the battle report, and discussed with Li Xi and the other three about how to distribute the battle merits based on the calculated casualties.

In the previous battle, Cao Shi advanced recklessly and almost let King Youxian go.Fortunately, the situation was brought under control in time, and the escaped Xiongnu were intercepted by Wei Yue. In addition, Cao Shi fought bravely to kill the enemy, which did not affect the overall situation.

Zhao Jia and the others pleaded for mercy, Li Xi and Li Guang looked at each other, and they both felt relieved.It's just that because there is still a "Goshawk" in the tent, the two of them are a little uncertain about how to speak.

It is true that Zhi is a cruel official, and it is not unreasonable.Looking into the eyes of the two envoys Li above, with a serious face that could stop a child from crying at night, he said a word that made people's eyes drop.

"It all arrived yesterday."

The translation is that he just arrived yesterday, and he didn't know, didn't understand, and didn't participate in what happened before.How to report the matter about Cao Shi is up to you to decide.

The one who was the most difficult to deal with let go of his mouth on the spot and turned a blind eye on purpose, and the matter naturally became easy to solve.Cao Shi's fault cannot be mentioned at all, but how to mention it, and which paragraph of the memorial is very particular.

After going through the whole process, as a participant, Zhao Jia couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Thinking about the records of later generations on the few people in front of me, I don't know how many times I have felt a similar sigh: History books really can't be trusted.

Thinking about Wei Wan, Dou Ying, and Zhi Buyi in Chang'an, he realized more and more clearly that if he wanted to establish a stable court in the Han Wu Dynasty, not to mention the difficulty of hell, in fact it was not much worse.

The battle report was written and sent to Chang'an by flying cavalry.

The heads of the military ministers Shan Yu and Youxian King have not been sent yet, only the eagle sculpture symbolizing the position of the great Shan Yu was taken away together.

According to the opinions of several big brothers, the emperor will definitely send someone to Shuofang immediately after receiving the report.At that time, Yu Dan, who is in custody in Yunzhong County, will be brought along and disposed of according to the holy will.

Feiqi left Shuofang County, traveled day and night without stopping, and arrived in Chang'an in just a few days.

In Chang'an Palace, Liu Che could not help being overjoyed when he received the good news and saw the victory report presented by the army.Regardless of the palace gate will fall, he quickly sent people to call the prime minister, the general, the imperial doctor, the servants and the big order into the Xuan room for discussion.

Wei Wan was dressed as an old man, threatening to touch porcelain at every turn, but when he heard the good news from the frontier, he moved faster than anyone else, and even rode his horse to the Han Palace without taking a car.

Dou Ying followed closely behind, and the two were almost front and rear.

Zhi Bu doubt was probably too excited, and accidentally sprained his foot when he got off the horse.Seeing Dou Ying walking away, she casually grabbed Tai Chang Xu Chang who was walking by, and jumped into the Han Palace with a golden rooster independent posture.He didn't care at all that he was half a head taller than Xu Chang, and his body was much wider.

As a majestic imperial censor, such a posture is really unbearable.

Before today, no one would have imagined that Zhi Bu doubt, who has always shown others with seriousness, would let himself go so freely and blind the eyes of his colleagues.

Seeing that Xu Chang was reduced by half, Wang Hui and Han Anguo couldn't stand it anymore, so they "supported" Zhi Buyi up one by one, and strode forward.

Xu Chang took the opportunity to get out of trouble, tidying up his clothes and wiping his sweat with his sleeves.Looking at Wei Wan who was walking so fast that he almost trotted, glanced at Dou Ying whose face was glowing red, and then looked at Zhi Buyi who was caught in the middle by Wang Hui and Han Anguo, his heart trembled, and he even had doubts about life.

Since the emperor issued the order to recruit talents, disciples of sages from various schools and sects gathered in Chang'an, and the Han Palace became extremely lively.

Many sages gathered in one place, advocating their own theories. There was a small fight every three days, and a big fight every five days.Officials from the DPRK and China either took the initiative to participate or passively exited, and their "true temperament" was gradually inspired.

Looking at such a court meeting, and then thinking about the period of the first emperor, looking at the Sangong in the period of Emperor Jing, compared with the painting styles of Wei Wan, Dou Ying and Zhi Buyi, Xu Chang's heart of aiming at the prime minister was instantly chilled.

At Wei Wan's age, as long as she doesn't jump up and die in front of the emperor, and leans on a cane, she can do whatever she wants in front of anyone.

Xu Chang asked himself that he did not have such confidence.

In order to live a peaceful life, it is better to let go of the thoughts you once had, stop involving the emperor's harem, and be content with being too ordinary, and it is better not to strive for the top.
