Zhang Ju watched as his soldiers surrendered to the enemy, but he still didn't know who had defeated his 100,000-strong army. This made him feel fear and a trace of sorrow. Forget it, Zhang Ju sighed in his heart.
" Zhang Ju, you scoundrel, die!" Han Dang suddenly saw Zhang Ju standing there alone on his horse. Then, he shouted and ran towards him.
When Zhang Ju saw that it was Han Dang, his face immediately turned ashen." Yi Gong, can you tell me who defeated my army?" Zhang Ju shouted at Han Dang, who was slashing at him with a large saber, as if he had just recovered from his last breath.
" Remember, my lord is the Governor of Liaodong, General Li Zhong." Han Dang paused for a moment. As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Ju's head fell from his body. Before he could even close his eyes, his head was chopped off by Han Dang.
Han Dang picked up Zhang Ju's head, then raised his head and shouted,"" The leader of the bandits, Zhang Ju, is dead. Those who surrender will not be killed."
"We are willing to surrender. Please spare our lives, General!"
" General Han!" Zhang He had just arrived. Seeing the 20,000-strong enemy kneeling on the ground and begging for surrender, he was filled with admiration for Han Dang. He walked up to Han Dang and shouted.
" General Zhang, why have you come?" Zhang He looked at Han Dang awkwardly and asked,""I wanted to get some soup from the general, but now it seems like…" Then, he pretended to smile bitterly and continued,"I'm not sure.""It seems that General is indeed brave. I admire you."
" General Zhang is too polite," Han Dang said humbly.
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
" General Han, let's hurry back and report to the lord so that he doesn't worry." Han Dang nodded and said to the deputy general beside him,""Hurry up and clean up the battlefield. Send someone to look after those captives. We'll return in two hours."
" Yes, General," the deputy general replied with a face full of joy.
"My lord, General Han Dang and General Zhang He have returned!"
"Call them in."
"Yes," the Tiger Guard outside the tent replied.
" My lord, I did not fail you. Here is the head of High Scholar Zhang," Han Dang said as he held Zhang Ju's head in his hand.
Li Bai walked over and looked at the head. He immediately felt his stomach churn, then he looked at Han Dang and said,""Good job, Yi Gong. As expected of a general in my army."
" Lord, you flatter me. This is my duty."
" Generals, you're tired after fighting for a night. Go and rest," Li Bai said with a smile.
" Okay." The two of them responded and turned to leave.
At noon the next day, all the generals had arrived in Li Bai's main tent. At this moment, Li Bai walked in from outside with Tian Feng's company." The lord has arrived," the Tiger Guards outside the tent shouted.
" Greetings, my lord!" Everyone bowed and shouted.
Li Bai came to the seat and sat down. Then, he waved his hand and said,""Sit."
Thank you, my lord."
" Mr. Yuan Hao, tell us about our battle results and casualties," Li Bai said to Tian Feng.
"Yes, my lord."
"In this battle, our army defeated 120,000 enemy soldiers, killing more than 15,000 and capturing nearly 80,000. General Han Dang also killed the leader of the bandits, Zhang Ju." Tian Feng smiled and looked at Han Dang. Han Dang cupped his hands in embarrassment. Our army has lost more than 500 men and more than 2000 injured, most of which are light injuries."Then, he looked at Li Bai and the others and said loudly,""This battle was a complete victory for our army.
After listening to Tian Feng's report, Li Bai smiled and nodded. He stood up and said to everyone,""This battle is all the credit of the generals. General Bai will report to the emperor and ask for credit for everyone."
" Thank you, my lord," everyone said in unison.
"Yuan Hao, how's Zilong's situation?"
" Feng was just about to tell you about this. General Zilong just sent someone to report the victory to you. He has taken down Ling County and wiped out 25,000 soldiers. Among them, he killed more than 5,000 and captured 20,000. Zhang Chun was killed by General Xu Rong. The head of High Scholar Zhang has also been sent here. General Zilong has already led his army to Ji County. He should arrive in two days," Tian Feng said to Li Bai excitedly.
Li Bai nodded happily and said," Good, Zilong. Boxiao did well."
"Mister Yuan Hao, I want to send you to Luoyang with Zhang Chun's head to report the victory to the Emperor. What do you think?”，Li Bai asked.
" My lord has given the order. I will die for it," Tian Feng said solemnly.
Li Bai nodded, then looked at Le Jin and said,""Wenqian!"
"I am here."
"I've ordered you to lead two hundred cavalrymen to protect Mr. Yuan Hao. If anything happens, you must bring Mr. Yuan Hao back safely even if you have to die.”
" Don't worry, my lord. Even if we die, we will protect Mr. Yuan Hao," Le Jin said to Li Bai with a serious face.
"Yeah."
Li Bai nodded,"Alright, you guys can leave first. Mr. Yuan Hao and Wenqian, stay behind."
" Lord, we'll take our leave."
" Follow me," Li Bai said to the two of them after everyone had left. The two of them nodded and followed Li Bai out.
After arriving at a large tent, Li Bai took the lead and walked in. Tian Feng and Le Jin exchanged a glance and followed.
Li Bai and the others came to the big tent and saw five big wooden boxes. Li Bai walked over and opened one of the wooden boxes. The two of them saw that it was filled with gold. Li Bai turned around and said to the two of them,"There's a total of 2000 gold here. Bring them with you to Luoyang this time and give them to Zhang Rang. Oh, right, Zhang Feng from Luoyang's Hero Pavilion has also prepared 3000 gold, so it's a total of 5,000 gold. Also, Wenqian, you can choose 20 good horses from the army later and take them with you." The two of them were stunned.
After that, Tian Feng somewhat understood Li Bai's meaning, but he still frowned. It was obvious that he was a little distressed about the gold. On the other hand, Le Jin, who was at the side, had a face full of indignation. However, he did not say anything. This was also his strength. He only buried his head and did not care about anything else.
" Mr. Yuan Hao, besides reporting the victory to the Emperor, you also need these things to see Zhang Rang. Ask him to ask for the position of the Overseer of Youzhou Province for me," Li Bai said to Tian Feng as he looked at the gold.
Tian Feng was stunned. He didn't expect Li Bai to do this for Youzhou Mu. On the other hand, Le Jin was excited.
Tian Feng came back to his senses and said to Li Bai,""My lord, I will do my best." Li Bai shook his head and said to Tian Feng,"" It's not about trying your best, but about succeeding." Tian Feng smiled bitterly.
" Alright, that's it. I wish you a safe journey for nothing." After saying that, he even smiled at Tian Feng and turned to leave. Tian Fenghe, who had a helpless look on his face, was left in an excited state. Looking at Li Bai's back, Tian Feng sighed helplessly.
