Apart from that, the injured soldiers were also rewarded.
Hwa Xiong had left a generous pension for the soldiers who had died in battle. When they returned to Chang 'an, he would send someone to deliver it to their residences.
In front of all the soldiers, the silver was scattered like flowing water.
The soldiers who received the reward smiled happily.
Those soldiers who had not had the time to build a military camp were filled with envy. They secretly made up their minds that they would be the first to fight in the next battle.
Seeing that most of the silver had been distributed, Gao Shun could not help but ask,
"General, why didn't you leave some silver?”
Hearing this, the soldiers all looked at Gao Shun, their eyes filled with doubt.
That's right, why didn't his general leave some silver?
Hwa Xiong was a general of an army.
Furthermore, Hwa Xiong had contributed greatly to the victory of this war.
In a dangerous situation, kill one of the enemy leaders, Han Sui.
"General, how can I let you return empty-handed?”
Some soldiers hurriedly returned the warm silver they had just received.
Hwa Xiong smiled and waved his hand in refusal.
"How can I have the cheek to compete for silver with my brothers? All of this was earned by everyone's blood, sweat, and tears. I only made a small contribution.”
Gao Shun and Jia Xu were filled with respect.
As a general, he was not greedy for money and gave all his money to his soldiers.
How could he not be respected by everyone?
"Long live the general!"
Someone shouted, and the other soldiers followed suit.
Hwa Xiong only smiled indifferently.
Gao Shun's expression changed, hurriedly looking over at Jia Xu.
But Jia Xu smiled slightly and did not say anything.
Long live was a taboo word in ancient times. Other than addressing the emperor, if an ordinary person used it, they would be beheaded!
When the two of them saw Hwa Xiong being so calm, they could not help but have other thoughts in their hearts.
It seemed that his lord was ambitious.
A smile appeared on Jia Xu's face.
He was not afraid that the lord he followed had ambitions, but he was afraid that Hwa Xiong had no ambition.
……
Hwa Xiong sent out scouts to confirm that Ma Teng's army had retreated before he collected all the lost land along the way.
Then, he returned to court.
The light cavalry advanced along the way and finally returned to Chang 'an.
Calculating the time, it took Hwa Xiong a day to leave Chang 'an and find Ma Teng.
It took half a day to clean up the battlefield, reward the soldiers according to their merits, and recover the lost land.
It took them another night to retreat to Chang 'an.
Hwa Xiong only needed two days and two nights to send troops, quell the chaos, and return to court.
Hwa Xiong settled the wolf army in the camp outside the city and rode back to the city.
When he arrived at the Grand Preceptor's Residence, Dong Zhuo was holding an internal meeting of the Xi Liang Army.
Li Ru, Lu Bu, Niu Fu, and the other high-ranking generals and strategists were all present.
Seeing Hwa Xiong swaggering in, everyone was stunned.
Didn't the Grand Preceptor ask Hua Xiong to attack Ma Teng? Why hasn't he set off yet?
"Greetings, Grand Preceptor."
Hwa Xiong cupped his hands at Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo came back to his senses, frowned and said unhappily,
"Hwa Xiong, why haven't you sent troops to attack Ma Teng?”
Li Ru had a good impression of Hwa Xiong.
He chuckled." Could it be that you have some work that you haven't prepared?”
Hwa Xiong chuckled.
"Reporting to Grand Preceptor, I have already beaten Ma Teng and the others back!”
As soon as he said this, the entire hall fell silent. Then, everyone burst into laughter.
"Aiyo, I'm dying of laughter."
"Hwa Xiong, you shouldn't brag like this.”
Li Jue and Guo Si seized the opportunity to mock him.
Niu Fu sneered." Why don't you say that you've already killed Ma Teng?”
Hwa Xiong pursed his lips.
"Although I didn't chop off Ma Teng, I did chop off Han Sui's head.”
"You can continue bragging." Niu Fu snorted." If you chop off Han Sui's head, I'll eat it on the spot!"”
"Is that true?"
Hwa Xiong asked with a faint smile.
"Really!"
Dong Zhuo was unhappy when he saw the people in the hall laughing.
"Hwa Xiong, are you teasing me?”
"This subordinate does not dare."
"Then let me ask you, do you have any evidence that you beat Ma Teng and killed Han Sui?”
Dong Zhuo stared at Hwa Xiong.
Hwa Xiong said calmly," Of course I have evidence!”
He waved at Hu Zi, who was standing guard outside the door.
Hu Zi hurriedly handed the item in his hand to Hwa Xiong.
Everyone took a look and saw that it was a package.
Everyone was a little suspicious.
Hwa Xiong opened the package. Other than a box, there was a flag.
Hwa Xiong raised the flag high.
When everyone saw this, they could not help but be dumbfounded.
Because this was actually a marshal's flag!
There were many types of flags in ancient armies.
The commander's flag was the flag that represented the commander.
Once the commander flag fell, there was a high possibility that the general had met with misfortune.
Therefore, on the battlefield, if the enemy's commander flag could be cut down, it would be very easy for the enemy's morale to be unstable.
Even though this flag was stained with smoke and blood, the word 'Ma' was exceptionally clear!
This was actually Ma Teng's marshal flag!
Everyone looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
This meant that he had already fought with Ma Teng and even won!
Otherwise, how could he have gotten Ma Teng's marshal flag?
"Hmph, maybe you're faking it.”Niu Fu snorted coldly.
"Is that so? Since you don't believe me, I'll slap you in the face today.”
Hwa Xiong sneered.
"General Niu Fu, tell me, what is this?”
Hwa Xiong threw the box on the ground.
A huge head was thrown out and rolled on the ground.
"Hiss…"
All the high-ranking generals and strategists of the Western Liang army gasped!
Everyone was experienced in the battlefield and was used to life and death. Of course, they would not be frightened by a head.
They were surprised that the head on the ground was Han Sui's!
How could this not shock them?
If Ma Teng's flag could be faked, Han Sui's head on the ground could not be faked.
"How is this possible?"
Niu Fu muttered to himself, disbelief written all over his face.
Even Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, and the others were dumbfounded.
The Western Liang Army had fought with Ma Teng and Han Sui for a long time, and there were victories and defeats.
But they had never caught Han Sui.
In just two days, Hwa Xiong had defeated Ma Teng and killed Han Sui.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it!
Everyone looked at Hwa Xiong in shock. There was only one question in their minds.
How did he do it?
Ma Teng and Han Sui were quite capable. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to resist the Western Liang Army for so long.
Moreover, even if they could not withstand a single blow, how did Hwa Xiong manage to lead his army over, defeat them, and then rush back to Chang 'an in two days?
This was illogical!
Hwa Xiong calmly accepted everyone's gaze and looked at Niu Fu with a sneer.
"What else do you have to say now?”
