Chapter 1086: Success in the East and Success in the West (Seventy-Nine)

When the sky was dimming, the sound of thundering horse hooves sounded in the distance, and a yellow dragon flag appeared outside Zhuangzi. The whole battle was no longer suspense. Gu Li's five hundred cavalry hidden more than ten miles away stopped as promised. The three thousand Zhao troops from Dafang County, who had been thrown into chaos by Gu Li, lost all thought of resisting when they saw the cavalry appearing in their field of vision. They shouted and dispersed.

The fleeing Zhao army became a target for the five hundred cavalry. Sharp arrows were shot from the horses, killing Zhao Jun on the spot.

Wearing a mask, Gu Li walked in Zhuangzi. In addition to the corpses on the ground and the blood flowing across the ground, there were also the terrified people in the village who had been driven out of their houses.

There are more than two hundred households in this village, which is a relatively large village. At this time, there were at least a thousand people gathered in the open space in front of the village. Seeing such a tragic scene, many people They all had a look of fear on their faces.

The people of Daijun now hate Zhao Jun, but they don't have a good impression of the Huns. You know, when the Huns broke through Daijun, they did not stop until they reached the capital Xiling City. The brutality of the Huns back then was not what Daijun did. The people of the county suffered greatly, and almost all the people of Daijun who had no time to escape were killed.

The only thing that can make these people feel at ease is that these Huns are wearing the clothes of the Han army and carrying the military flag of the Han Dynasty. In the past few years when the Han Dynasty ruled Daijun, the officials were clean and the taxes were loose, and there was no endless chaos. You must know that even in the period of Zilan, who was highly respected in Daijun, these things were not missing even a little bit.

Out of their trust in the Han Kingdom, these people had fears and fears, but they also had expectations.

"Commander, what should we do with these heavy weapons?" Moli Xi walked up to Gu Li and asked softly.

"Except for the things we need and can take away, give me a fire to burn everything else." Gu Li ordered.

"Understood!" Moli Xi was ordered to leave. In an instant, hundreds of crossbows and other heavy weapons were burning in the flames. In the raging fire, Gu Li drove the horses and walked to the village where the villagers gathered. The place.

The cold eyes swept over, and the ferocious mask immediately made many children cry, but their mouths were immediately covered. Although the sun was shining brightly at the moment, Guli's mask still made most of them cry. Some people are terrified.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. Although we are Huns, we are also the army of the Han Kingdom. I am the leader of this cavalry!" Guli's voice was extremely pleasant, and her gentle voice made the villagers present feel ashamed. He calmed down in shame.

"Dai County is my Han territory. Over the years, under the leadership of my Han King, have your lives become better and better?" Gu Li asked.

After a period of silence, someone finally had the courage to shout in the crowd: "Life is much better now. Your Majesty is wise, free of labor and light on taxes. People like me who couldn't even marry a wife before, Now he is a father."

"Okay!" Gu Li chuckled: "Then these Zhao people are back, how do you feel?"

"not good!"

"It can't be compared to the original."

"We were asked to pay grain every day, and we were required to do labor at various places. Some inexplicable people came back and said that the land we were growing belonged to them. With the help of Zhao Jun, they forcibly gave us the land that we were about to harvest. Robbed."

The more people talked, the more angry they became, and some even burst into tears and complained.

"Then are you willing to support us in driving away the Zhao people and letting you return to Han?" Gu Li said loudly.

"Yes, of course I do!" The shouts from the crowd became even louder.

"That's right, today's battle is just the beginning. The army of our Han Kingdom is back. It won't be long before our Han Dynasty's yellow dragon flags will be planted all over Dai County. All enemies and betrayers will be gone. It will end well. It is the darkness before dawn, Zhao Jun is still struggling to his death, we need your help, are you willing?" Gu Li asked.

"Yes, yes!"

"Well, we need manpower to help us clean the battlefield. Let me make it clear here, whoever picks up the property on these Zhao people belongs to whoever picks it up. The weapons and armor belong to whoever gets them. You can't touch anything except food. Everything else belongs to you. Please also tell the people you know that our Han army needs your help. Whether it is to collect information for us or directly join the army to fight the enemy, we can help you return to the Han Dynasty as soon as possible. Under the glory.”

"General, can I join your army?" Some young people shouted loudly in the crowd.

"I have all cavalry here, and I can't bring you people who can't even ride a horse. But it doesn't matter. Commander Qin Lei and Qin have already raised the banner. Any warriors who are willing to serve the King of Han can join them. We are leaving soon, so I have to ask you all to help clean up the things left here!" Gu Li clasped her fists at everyone, turned around, pinched the horse's belly, and ran towards the distance. Behind him, there were more than a thousand people. The famous soldiers followed closely. The difference from when they came was that on the way back, more than a hundred soldiers had a package on their shoulders, which contained the ashes of their brothers who died in the battle.

One day later, Zhang Ping appeared outside the village with his four thousand cavalry. What was left to him were piles of burnt remains of heavy weapons and rows of neatly arranged dead soldiers. The remains of the soldiers, while the people in the village were cleaning up the remains of the village expressionlessly.

The 3,000 Zhao army in Dafang County is the largest garrison under Nanzhang, and it is also an extremely important link between the left and right in this large network. The destruction of this army gave Zhang Ming a premonition that the situation was over, so he carefully arranged A big hole has been opened in this big net. Gu Li, who jumped out of this circle, can attack any point on this net at will. Previously, he had been looking for an opportunity to have a decisive battle with Gu Li, but now, I am afraid that his opponent I'm thinking of having a decisive battle with myself.

"Have you asked, do these villagers know which direction Guli went?" He lowered his head and asked a tooth general who had just walked by him.

General Ya showed a wry smile, "My subordinates asked no less than a dozen people, but these dozen people actually pointed out to me all the directions from the southeast to the northwest. As soon as I heard it, I knew it was all nonsense. Even the children in the village couldn't explain it. That’s not true, General Zhang. Otherwise, arrest them all. If you don’t believe it, you won’t be able to tell the truth.”

"So what if I ask?" Zhang Ping shook his head slowly: "The other party can also change the direction at will. I just want to use this opportunity to see who Daijun people support more?"

"These people from Daijun have really forgotten their ancestors. They have forgotten that they are also from Zhao." General Ya was indignant.

Zhang Ping is not so angry. Starting from Zilan, Daijun has been at odds with the central government of Zhao. In order to suppress and eradicate Zilan, Zhao Wuji has indeed been harsher on the people of Daijun during the years he has been in power. Although Daijun has a large territory It is vast, but in Zhao State, Yanran is the place where the dwarves are. Back then, Zhao Mu's army stationed on the border relied on supplies from Daijun people. In addition to these, Daijun also had to provide part of the food and grass to the Hedong camp, even if it was Years of famine are no exception. How can we prevent the people of Daijun from thinking about such actions?

In the past few years, the Han State's governance of Daijun has revitalized Daijun. The Han's policy of supporting the people has made the lives of the people of Daijun better day by day. In comparison, the people of Daijun are more inclined to one side. It goes without saying.

What's more, is the current Zhao State still Zhao State?

"Retreat, let's go back to Nanzhang!" Zhang Ping sighed.

"General, just withdraw to Nanzhang and let the Han cavalry go. Will General Li take the blame?" General Ya asked in surprise.

"So what?" Zhang Ping sneered: "If I'm still wandering around outside, I'm afraid the fate of the Dafang County garrison will be my next ending. The network I set up with all my efforts has been breached. How can we let us Go head-to-head with that Huns cavalry. Do you think we can win? Instead of doing this, it is better to conserve our strength, wait for the opportunity, and send orders to the armies of each county. Run as fast as you want, and withdraw them all for me and defend the city. , to ensure that when we withdraw from Dai County in the future, we will still have a smooth road."

"Retreat and abandon Daijun?" Yajiang's face turned pale.

"After I go back, I will write to General Li. If I don't leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave. After all, there are still tens of thousands of troops in Daijun. If they withdraw to Shanggu, they will still be a powerful force. If they stay in Daijun, What awaits us is the end of the entire army being destroyed." Zhang Ping turned around on his horse and headed towards Nanzhang.

The facts were not what Zhang Ping expected. When the troops in various counties retreated in panic after receiving the order, Gu Li led her cavalry to intercept and kill two Zhao troops with lightning speed, causing the enemy to retreat. The holes in this web are bigger and more numerous.

What made Daijun's situation worse was that veteran general Qin Lei raised a banner and called on the young men of Daijun to join the army to attack the Zhao army. As long as those soldiers who had been dismissed by the Qin army returned to the army, their military pay would still be the same as when they were laid off. At that time, Qin Lei gathered tens of thousands of people under his command in a short period of time. The weapons and armor captured by Gu Li along the way and the arsenals of some captured county governments were also given to Qin Lei to re-arm him. Once Qin Lei successfully integrates this infantry, it will truly be the end of Daijun Zhao's army.

When He Lanxiong's army was less than fifty miles away from the capital of Dai County, Li Mingjun received a letter from Zhang Ping.

"Retreat!" Li Mingjun, who had no choice but to retreat, issued the order to retreat. His more than 20,000 elite Zhao troops abandoned Xiling City. All of them fled overnight. Li Mingjun wanted to rush to Nanzhang to meet Zhang Ping. After reuniting, they retreated all the way to Shanggu. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, when Li Mingjun retreated, he did not notify Zhao Yong who had surrendered. When Zhao Yong learned the news that day, Xiling City had no soldiers left, and the Zhao people completely killed him. Abandoned. (To be continued)
