Rumble ~ Rumble ~
On the city wall, countless soldiers were shocked when they saw the Xiongnu army turn around and leave.
The Xiongnu were obviously not here to attack the border counties!
Could it be that they were chasing after the Han army?
More than 10,000 Xiongnu soldiers were chasing after the Han army of less than 2,000 people?
This…
Countless soldiers were filled with shock and questions.
On the city walls, Li Guang was also extremely shocked. What did Marquis Wu An do with his army in the grasslands? How did he provoke the Xiongnu army? He even came to the border of Yunzhong County?
He was extremely surprised.
Seeing that the Xiongnu had retreated, he led a group of soldiers down the city wall and headed for the open space behind the city gate.
Soon, Li Guang saw the team that was stopped a few hundred meters away from the city gate.
At this moment, the army had already dismounted!
The soldiers seemed to be quite tired. Many of them were either sitting or half-lying on the ground, while the warhorses were standing there panting heavily. Li Guang even saw two warhorses lying on the ground.
It was obvious that he had run too fast for too long and was so tired that he collapsed on the ground. He did not know if he would still be alive or not.
However, apart from these, what shocked Li Guang and the soldiers behind him the most was the string of Xiongnu heads hanging on their horses!
Looking at those heads, Li Guang and the other soldiers sucked in a breath of cold air. There were probably nearly four thousand of them!
They actually killed so many Xiongnu people?
It was unbelievable!
No wonder the Xiongnu people were so angry that they led the army to chase after him!
Soon, Li Guang arrived in front of the army and looked at Tian Qiong, who was looking at him.
"I really didn't expect to meet Marquis Wu An here!”
Li Guang cupped his hands towards Tian Meng.
"Thank you, General Li, for opening the city gate in time!”Tian Meng cupped his hands in thanks.
"How can we watch our Han army being chased by the enemy!”Li Guang shook his head. This was what he should do.
After Li Guang finished speaking, he looked at the many soldiers resting on the ground. He saw that their faces were somewhat pale, and some of them were so tired that they had even fallen asleep with their eyes closed.
Looking at them and the many Xiongnu heads they had taken, Li Guang exclaimed to Tian Meng,
"Marquis of Wu 'an, it's really, really shocking. When did you lead your army to kill the Xiongnu?”
"And beheaded so many Xiongnu?”
Tian Qiong looked at the shocked Li Guang and the soldiers behind him and smiled,
"He's been gone for a few days!"
As Tian Qiong was speaking, Zhang Wanqian came to his side and reported,
"Governor, our horses are exhausted. We need to recuperate before we can continue riding.”
Tian Meng nodded. These days, they had been running too fast and too fast. Even if they were riding on two horses, they were exhausted and had lost a lot of fat!
Moreover, they were fed with the best grain stored by the Xiongnu. Otherwise, these horses would not have lasted until now.
If he wanted to return to Yanmen Prefecture, he would have to change horses.
He looked at Li Guang Dao and said,
"General Li, we might have to trouble you. Our warhorses can't continue to move forward. We need to recuperate here. We also need another batch of warhorses…"
Before Tian Meng could finish, Li Guang waved his hand and interrupted,
"Don't worry, leave these things to me!”
After saying that, he looked at Tian Meng in amazement and said,
"So Marquis Wu 'an is the new Mayor of Yanmen Prefecture!”
Tian Qiong nodded and reminded him with a smile,
"General Li, you have to be more vigilant on the sidelines during this period of time. I'm afraid the Xiongnu people won't let this go so easily!”
Li Guang also nodded. Then, he looked at the string of Xiongnu heads that he had captured and then looked at the soldiers and asked curiously,
"How many soldiers did Marquis Wu An bring to attack the grasslands?”
"Basically all of them are here!" Tian Qiong smiled as he spoke. Although they had experienced many battles, the team had not suffered too many losses.
"Just these teams with less than 2,000 people?”
Li Guang's eyes widened as he looked at Tian Meng.
Tian Qiong nodded.
Li Guang took a deep breath and said with admiration,
"Less than 2,000 people, but they actually went deep into the plains and killed nearly 4,000 people? Amazing!"
As he spoke, he looked at Tian Qiong with envy. He had been at the border for a long time. Although he had killed many Xiongnu, he had not made much of a contribution because he had suffered a great loss.
And the other party had killed so many Xiongnu people in one attack, and it was so few people. His contribution this time was not small!
Tian Meng looked at Li Guang's expression and smiled without saying anything.
The people they killed were far more than this!
"Sigh, I regret not listening to Marquis Wu An last time!”
Li Guang sighed.
"It's fine. In the future, when we kill the Xiongnu at the border, we will definitely have the opportunity to make contributions and be conferred the title of Marquis!”
Tian Meng smiled and comforted him.
He knew what Li Guang meant. Last time, Li Guang had taken the flag of the Wu-Chu rebel army, greatly affecting their morale. Moreover, he had killed many enemies and made many contributions. He originally had the chance to be conferred the title of Marquis.
Although he had reminded him long ago, he still secretly accepted the General Seal of the King of Liang, which made Emperor Jing of Han very unhappy and missed the opportunity to be conferred the title of Marquis.
Now that Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had appointed a crown prince, the King of Liang had lost the opportunity to become the crown prince. His status could not be promoted, and naturally, it could not increase his status. Therefore, he could be said to have gained nothing from both sides!
Li Guang sighed,
"I can only think of it this way!”
After sighing, he looked at Tian Meng and said seriously,
"Marquis Wu An's actions are truly satisfying! The last time the Xiongnu invaded the border counties of our Han Dynasty, they caused heavy losses to our Yanmen and Yunzhong counties. I was originally thinking about when to take revenge on the Xiongnu people, but I didn't expect that Marquis Wu 'an had already killed the Xiongnu and returned!”
"General Li, I only went to the Xiongnu to collect some interest this time. I didn't kill many Xiongnu. If I want to kill more Xiongnu, we'll need to join forces to attack together in the future!”
Tian Qiong looked at Li Guang and said. The power of Yanmen Prefecture was too little. If he could use the power of the border prefectures, it would definitely have a greater impact on the Xiongnu.
"Marquis Wu 'an is right. This daddy doesn't want to be so cowardly and wait for the Xiongnu to invade!”
"If Marquis Wu An has any ideas in the future, you can send someone to inform me!”
Li Guang patted his chest and said.
Tian Qiong nodded. With Li Guang's declaration, he could really plan something in the future.
The two of them said nothing more.
Li Guang brought his men to prepare food and provisions for Tian Qiong and the others.
Tian Qiong and the soldiers rested for half a day before returning to Yanmen Prefecture with the soldiers who had recovered a lot of energy.
This time, he had slaughtered many Xiongnu people on the grasslands. He had a premonition that the Xiongnu would not give up so easily. He had to make preparations as soon as possible.
