"We won! And a great victory!"
Cui Lin almost wanted to laugh out loud. This was a complete victory, and it also marked the perfect success of their risky tactics of attacking Wuhuan's rear!
Guo Jia was stunned for a long time after hearing this. After reacting, his eyes suddenly burst into light and he said without hesitation, "We will go to meet Old General Huang immediately!"
"Must be quick!"
Although he tried hard to appear calm, his slightly trembling tone revealed his thoughts. He was extremely happy in his heart!
They won!
A few days later, Liucheng.
Now this Cities has been completely occupied by the Han Army. As the headquarters of Wuhuan in West Liaoning County, the wealth accumulated in Liucheng is extremely huge.
In addition, there are various cattle, sheep, horses, and tens of thousands of Wuhuan prisoners, all captured in this war!
After Guo Jia and Cui Lin arrived at Liucheng under the escort of the Tiger Warriors Army, they immediately found Huang Zhong and expressed congratulations to him.
"Old General Huang, what a joy to congratulate, what a joy to congratulate!"
Cui Lin came up and held his hands with a smile on his face, his tone full of admiration, "Old General Huang shot Chanyu Tadun and killed White Wolf Mountain with one arrow. It's really majestic!"
"This move is no less than Marquis of Champion traveling three thousand miles to attack Xiongnu Royal Court! This battle will also be passed down to future generations!"
Cui Lin's words are of course flattering and complimentary, but his admiration for Huang Zhong is also genuine. After all, Great Han has not achieved such a great victory over Foreign Tribes for a long time.
This battle of Huang Zhong almost wiped out all the top management and main forces of Wuhuan, completely breaking the backbone of Wuhuan. In terms of gold content and strategic significance, the battle of Hefei even surpassed Zhang Liao!
"Hahaha! Absolute praise, ridiculous praise!"
Huang Zhong laughed boldly, pointed at Gongsun Fan and said, "Thanks to General Gongsun who led the way, I was able to successfully lead the troops to the rear of the Enemy Army."
Gongsun Fan shook his head and said with a smile, "Where is this? How can the mere achievement of leading the way be compared to the achievement of Old General Huang who shot and killed Chanyu Tadun?"
"Old General Huang really made me see what it means to be strong with old age, and I am really convinced."
The two complimented each other.
Then Huang Zhong asked Guo Jia: "Military Advisor, the number of cattle and sheep we seized this time is counted in One Hundred Thousand, in addition there are countless Goods and Wealth, and many prisoners."
"I wonder what to do with these prisoners?"
Cattle, sheep, and Goods and Wealth are all trophies, and they can just transport them all back to Ji Province, but it is these prisoners who really give Huang Zhong a headache.
Because there were Twenty Thousand captured by the Wuhuan army alone, plus the old, young, women, and children of various Wuhuan tribes, the total number of captives exceeded hundreds of thousands.
There are so many prisoners that cannot be killed. That would not only harm Tianhe, but also would not be in line with Great Han's demeanor as a Celestial Kingdom.
"This matter... needs to consult Your Majesty before making a decision."
Guo Jia hesitated for a moment and then said.
The victory this time was so great that he didn't even expect it, so he had better report Son of Heaven first before talking about it.
"That's fine."
Huang Zhong nodded and agreed.
After settling the matter, Guo Jia said, "The next step is to take advantage of the situation and recover Liaodong Commandery, and then we can return to the DPRK."
"With this great achievement of defeating Wuhuan and beheading Chanyu Tadun, Old General Huang's longed-for title of Marquis is a certainty."
"I would like to congratulate Old General Huang in advance."
Guo Jia smiled and handed over to Huang Zhong, and after he finished speaking, Gongsun Fan, Gongsun Xu, and Cui Lin also congratulated Huang Zhong.
However, Huang Zhong did not look very happy. Instead, he was a little surprised and said, "Going back so soon? Don't you want to continue fighting?"
These words made everyone stunned.
Gongsun Xu asked in confusion, "Wuhuan's main force has been wiped out in one fell swoop. As long as Liaodong Commandery's remaining Wuhuan forces are defeated, what else is left to fight?"
The only thing that needs to be recovered now is Liaodong Commandery, but there are not many Wuhuan troops left there, so it will be easy to recover.
"There are also Xiongnu and Xianbei!"
Huang Zhong became energetic and proposed enthusiastically. "We might as well break into Grasslands and uproot Wuhuan's power. By the way, we will also deal with Xiongnu and Xianbei."
"These are all military exploits!"
His desire for military success has almost become an obsession. This time he finally got the opportunity to lead an army alone. How could he defeat just one Wuhuan and then go back?
We must take the opportunity to earn more military exploits!
Hearing this, Guo Jia and others couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing how to respond to Huang Zhong's words.
"Old General Huang..."
Guo Jia smiled bitterly and said, "I know you want to gain military exploits, but the goal of our trip is just to destroy Wuhuan and pacify Liaodong."
"Xianbei and Xiongnu are not in the plan."
"Furthermore, Xiongnu Chanyu Huchuquan has already declared his surrender to me, Great Han. Even their prince has been given to Ye City as a pledge. Now he is my Great Han vassal."
"As for Xianbei, their power is quite strong. The 10,000 people we brought during this trip alone are not enough to mobilize troops against them."
"Once a war breaks out, it will definitely delay Imperial Court's plan to go south to hunt down thieves."
The strength of Xianbei is not comparable to that of Wuhuan.
If you want to mobilize troops against Xianbei, you must at least mobilize all the troops and horses that Imperial Court can currently mobilize before you can fight with it.
But Xianbei didn't commit any crime, so what's the trouble for them if you have nothing to do?
Huang Zhong sighed after hearing this, "But if we go back like this, I don't know when I will have to wait until the next time I want to lead an army alone."
As he spoke, he looked up at Guo Jia, with red eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Military Advisor, you know the situation at my home."
"I am already over fifty years old, half of my body has been buried in the loess, but I still have a frail child to raise at home, so I have to earn more military exploits..."
Guo Jia The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Why is it like this again?
Although Guo Jia and Cui Lin both knew that Huang Zhong was showing off his pity, this was the first time for uncle and nephew Gongsun Fan and Gongsun Xu to meet him.
After hearing Huang Zhong's words and this appearance, they couldn't help but feel compassion.
No wonder Huang Zhong is so desperate on Battlefield.
It turned out that he wanted to find a fortune for his son.
After Gongsun Fan thought for a moment, he said, "Old General Huang If you want to earn military exploits, I have a good idea."
After hearing this, everyone looked at him.
Huang Zhong looked even more excited and asked eagerly, "What are your ideas, General Gongsun? Tell me quickly!"
"Old General Huang Don't be anxious."
Gongsun Fan smiled, then walked to Topographical Map on the side, pointed to the unpainted area outside Xuantu Commandery and said, "There is a country here named Goguryeo."
"Goguryeo is a small country outside the customs. It is not very strong. It is rich in Beauty and pearls. If we can conquer this country..."
Gongsun Fan raised his voice but said no more.
But after hearing this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but change, and four big words appeared in their hearts - the merit of destroying the country!
Even if it is a small country, it is the result of destroying the country!
It is also opening up territory for Great Han!
Even Guo Jia was a little moved for a moment, but his reason still defeated his impulse. He shook his head and said, "No! I, Great Han, am a heavenly country and a country of etiquette!"
"Goguryeo Kingdom has done no harm to me, Great Han Qiu, so how can we send troops to attack at will? It is not in line with the etiquette of the superior country to send troops to Wuming!"
Whenever troops are sent out, we must pay attention to the division's reputation.
Bullying the weak by relying on strength is not Great Han's style.
Although Huang Zhong is a rough man, he also understands this truth, so even though he feels very disappointed, he can only give up this idea.
But at this moment, Cui Lin on the side suddenly said, "If, I mean if...Goguryeo kills my Great Han envoy, wouldn't it be a disgrace?"
"Killing Han envoys without authorization is... huh?"
Guo Jia answered subconsciously, but he soon realized something was wrong. He looked at Cui Lin in surprise, and instantly understood the other party's plan.
Cui Lin smiled slightly and stepped forward and said, "I am willing to serve as an envoy and represent Imperial Court on behalf of Goguryeo to repair the good relationship between the two countries!"
Chapter 351 Let Zhen Mi conceive an heir, and Fa Zheng come to vote!
Cui Lin's words attracted everyone's attention.
There was a look of surprise on his face.
After listening to the previous words of Cui Lin, and then hearing the following words, why don't people understand what Cui Lin means?
Why did Goguryeo send an envoy to repair the two countries? Cui Lin clearly wanted to be killed by the other party, giving them a reason to attack Goguryeo!
"Deru Why is this so?"
Guo Jia was quite Shock in his heart, and couldn't help but say, "It would be too radical to exchange one's life for a famous teacher."
Although they lack the reason to attack Goguryeo, there is no need to use this method.
But Cui Lin shook his head and sighed quietly, "What Old General Huang is pursuing is Military Merit Noble Rank, but I am not interested in these."
"What I want is Immortalized in History. When future generations mention me Cui Lin, they will think of the four words 'arrogant and proud'."
"Grand Historian said that a person's death may be more serious than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. I want to leave a lasting mark in the history books!"
"If you can die for Great Han to open up new territories, then why not die!"
Cui Lin said impassionedly.
His expression was extremely exciting.
With his brother Cui Yan here, they Cui Clan do not lack a backbone, and their Cui Clan will definitely have a place among the top families in the future.
But they Cui Clan still lack the foundation and reputation.
