Chapter 401

Liang Xiao accompanied Li Guang to Cheng Bushi's camp. As soon as he met, Li Guang took two steps, grabbed Cheng Bushi's hand and shook it hard, laughed loudly and said, "Old Cheng, is it a good fight this time?"

Cheng Bushi asked replies without answering. "Old Li, where are you playing? 15,000 cavalry defeated the Huns and 20,000 cavalry, and it was so easy to win, it was really eye-opening. To be honest, when I first heard the news, I was worried about you."

Li Guang laughed even happier. "Old Cheng, I have taken your affection. I'm going to tell you that this is not my idea, it's this kid's idea." Li Guang pulled Liang Xiao to Cheng Bushi without hiding his appreciation in his eyes. "After the forced landing and slaughtering the king, we seized 30,000 Hun war horses. According to my wishes, all those who can ride horses can join the battle, and at least 30,000 horses can gather. But he insisted on three horses per man, and I couldn't resist him, so I had to listen to him."

Cheng Bushi was a long-time general who had been around for many years, and he understood the truth at first hearing. He stroked the short beard under his jaw and nodded repeatedly. "Liang Junhou, this is your experience in the Western Regions. One man and three horses are one. Such a luxurious cavalry configuration is rare even if it is the Huns. Only you, Liang Junhou, can do it."

Liang Xiao smiled and bowed. "General Cheng, you are a senior, so you don't need Junhou to laugh at me, right? If you look down on the boy, just call me the same as General Li."

Cheng Buzhi nodded with a smile. "Since the Lord is so humble, then I, Cheng, would be more respectful than obedient." He glanced at Li Guang and said half-truely: "Old Li, this time I will get what I want. Two great victories are a foregone conclusion. You can't be stingy at that time. You have to ask for a drink for three days."

Li Guang laughed loudly. He patted Cheng Buzhi's hand hard and squeezed his eyes. "Old Cheng, don't rush to plot against me. If I have merits, you will not have merits? Then we will be a marquis together. If you eat mine, I will not eat yours?"

Cheng Buzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I'm so sorry, I'm afraid the title of Marquis is still a little short of Hu Gou's head."

Liang Xiao said: "The general is loyal to the country, regardless of personal gains and losses. He first sent Wei Qing and others to help General Han, and personally led his troops to assist General Li. Even if the number of beheadings is smaller, the contribution is obvious to all. I believe that as long as your Majesty's strategic intentions can be realized in the end, your Majesty will definitely not treat the general unfairly."

"Haha." Cheng Buzhi laughed twice and refused to comment. In his opinion, Liang Xiao was just to comfort him. Although the rule that he could not be a marquis had long been broken. For a warrior like him who had no family background, few people would stand up and speak for him. Li Guang was lucky. In order to give advice and help him earn military achievements, he had no luck and could only accept his fate.

When Li Guang saw this, he laughed loudly and pulled Cheng Buzhi to take his seat. "Old Cheng, I came today just to discuss with you. Look, we fought this battle together. When we rewarded the merits, we also reported it together. How about it?"

Cheng Buzhi was stunned and looked at Li Guang in surprise, unable to believe his ears. Jointly declared merit? The danger of doing this is quite high. If the number of beheadings is divided, not only him, but even Li Guang might not get enough military merit. This is the time when he has the most hope of being a marquis, and he is willing to do so?

"Don't look at me like that." Li Guang knew it well and laughed twice. "I'm really reluctant to let it go, but I can't take advantage of you, Lao Cheng. Do you think so? Brothers have to settle the score clearly. Whoever should be, and the head level is not enough. Let's go and chop it up again. King Aries ran away. Hasn't King Lou Fan run away yet? Think of a way to kill all the 20,000 people, isn't it enough?"

Cheng Buzhi was overjoyed and was depressed. Li Guang offered to give him the credit, what else could he say. Li Guang was right. If he could wipe out 20,000 cavalry of the King of Loufan, the number of beheadings should be almost the same. If the emperor was in a good mood and relaxed the conditions a little, it would be possible to give them a few of them a marquis together.

"Old Li, you are a man." Cheng Buzhi's face turned slightly red with excitement, and he held Li Guang's arm and shook it hard. "I thank you for the soldiers under my command."

"Hahaha, why are you so polite? It would be difficult for us to win without your help." Li Guang was in a good mood and laughed endlessly.

Cheng Bushi immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters and conveyed Li Guang's suggestions to all the generals. After hearing this, these generals were all ecstatic. They did not dare to expect to be a marquis, but no one was willing to fight to the death, but in the end they could only watch others receive rewards. If Li Guang really refused to part, they had no choice. After all, the system of the court was there, and now Li Guang took the initiative to ask for the contribution to them, so how could they not want it?

For a moment, morale was high, and there was a lot of harmony, and compliments were endless, making Li Guang smile.

Taking this opportunity, Cheng Bushi and Li Guang discussed how to completely wipe out the Loufan Wang army. You said, "I said, everyone worked hard to work together to fight another beautiful battle to make up the number of first-level numbers."

Even if you are excited, it is not an easy task to truly wipe out Lou Fan King.

This is related to the terrain of the stone gate barrier.

The Shimen River crossed Yinshan Mountain, and there were mountains on both sides that were not conducive to marching. King Loufan occupied the mountain pass. If he wanted to escape, even if the Han army had enough cavalry, he would not be able to stop him. The best result was to assemble all the cavalry to pursue him.

30,000 to 20,000 can win, but it is difficult to wipe out all of them. Once you encounter other Hun tribes, you can't tell who will win.

"It would be great if he could intercept him upstream of the Shimen Water." Cheng Buzhi clenched his fists in regret and gently knocked his legs. "No need to have more, as long as there are ten thousand steppes in the array, it will be enough to block King Loufan in the mountains."

"I'm afraid it's too late. When you arrive upstream, he will probably run away long ago." Li Guang was also a little angry. If he could not wipe out the Loufan King's army, the number of beheadings would not be enough, and many people would be affected. "Or why should I go?"

"Use cavalry to array?" Cheng Buzhi responded with suspicious eyes.

Li Guang smacked his lips, but he was a little inaccurate. He had no confidence in winning with cavalry. He used cavalry instead of cavalry, and his combat effectiveness was greatly affected. Moreover, it would be too wasteful to use cavalry as infantry.

Everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little dull for a moment.

Liang Xiao couldn't find any good idea, and he thought hard, but he had no good plans to defeat the enemy. Speaking of which, the number of war horses was not enough. If he could have six or seven hundred thousand war horses like the Tang Dynasty, it would be great. Even infantrymen could use horses to transport.

Using horses to travel? Liang Xiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and woke up like a dream. Although he could not have transformed hundreds of thousands of war horses out of thin air, it was still possible to provide Cheng Bushi with horses in a short time.

"General, I have a solution, maybe it can."

"Do you have a way?" Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi exchanged a wink and said in unison: "Let me tell me quickly."

Liang Xiao stood up and left the line, bowing to Li Guang and Cheng. "General, we have brought a lot of horses. We just seized a lot of war horses. It is estimated that there are at least 20,000 horses. If these 20,000 horses are provided to General Cheng, let his soldiers march on horseback and go around the water of Shimen..."

All the experienced generals here. After Liang Xiao said halfway, they understood, and immediately woke up like a dream and applauded repeatedly.

The speed of the infantry marching on horseback can be increased by at least twice. Even if some infantry marching is not enough to participate in battle, there is no problem with riding horses, it is really not possible. You can also tie them to the horseback, as long as they do not fall off the horseback.

Besides, this section of the road is not too far, and it is only five or six hundred miles in full. If you travel day and night, you can reach it in two days. In order to be able to earn rewards, what is the pain of two days of bumpy tides?

If this happens, the problem of infantry marching speed is not only solved, but no cavalry is needed to replace infantry, the duration is not long and the horsepower loss is limited, which will not have a fatal impact on subsequent actions.

Cheng Buzhi was very happy, and Li Guang was even more excited. Liang Xiao was his subordinate, and putting forward such a delicate plan really made him feel embarrassed.

The opportunity should not be missed, and the time would never come again. Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi quickly made a decision: the two departments acted in a joint operation, and Li Guang's cavalry and 30,000 infantry cavalry rushed to the upper reaches of Shimen Water at the same time. In order to ensure combat effectiveness, thousands of soldiers with serious injuries were left behind, led by Gongsun Rongnu, who already had the capital to be granted marquis, to cooperate with Han Anguo's action. For him, this was also a rare opportunity. Not every lieutenant had the opportunity to command thousands of people.

The plan was decided, but Cheng Buzhi, so Li Guang jointly wrote a military newspaper to Han Anguo, hoping that Han Anguo would find a way to hold Lou Fanwang and buy them time.

The news sent that night was that Han Anguo's reply arrived the next morning. He agreed to Li Guang's plan, Cheng Buzhi, retreated in time, and launched an attack three days later.

Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi acted immediately, and 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry rode their horses and dragged their chariots and rushed westward.

Wei Qing ran on his horse, let go of the bowstring, and a feather arrow rushed out. The fleeing Hun scout was caught in the arrow and rolled a few times. Just as he stood up, Wei Tao arrived and knocked him to the ground again.

Several guards turned over and dismounted, held down the Huns scouts, and dragged them to Wei Qing.

After interrogation, Wei Qing breathed a sigh of relief and ordered people to drag the prisoners down and detain them uniformly. In the past two days, they had arrested nearly a hundred Xiongnu scouts. Judging from the information obtained from interrogation, King Lou Fan had not yet figured out the situation of the Aries King's tribe. Li Guang and Cheng Bubu and the disappearance of 30,000 infantry and cavalry did not attract his attention.

He probably thought that the Aries King had successfully blocked Li Guang, but Cheng Buzhi shared the pressure for him. He didn't know that the Aries King had been completely defeated. Li Guang, and Cheng Buzhi was rushing to seize his way out.

It is no wonder that the Aries King has 30,000 cavalry, and Li Guang and Cheng Bushi's troops combined are only 40,000 infantry and cavalry, and there is no advantage. There may be a little possibility of having an advantage in the situation. To say that they have completely defeated the Aries King, let alone King Lou Fan, don't believe it, even Han Anguo, Wei Qing and other Han generals couldn't believe it when they just received the news.

The Xiongnu's contempt for the Han army has been endorsed for decades, and it has been deeply rooted, and it cannot be eliminated overnight.

"This Wu'er is a thief." Wei Tao rushed over and kept grinning. "Take the Huns like fools."

Wei Qing got off the horse, touched the sword on his waist, glanced at Wei Tao, and laughed softly, "Are you envious?"

Wei Tao chuckled twice. "What am I envious of him? Isn't it possible to make contributions with you? I said, King Lou Fan is about to die, don't you plan to steal the head?"

Wei Qing's eyes flashed slightly, and he was silent for a moment. "Life and death have fate, wealth and honor are in heaven, and how can we fight for it by fighting?"

Wei Tao curled his lips disapprovingly. "So, according to what you said, we might as well play in Chang'an and wait for wealth to fall from the sky, so why should we come here?"

"Come here..." Wei Qing pulled out half of the sword and his eyes narrowed. "Is it because I want to use the sword in my hand to prove His Majesty's wisdom so as not to be criticized. Liang Xiao refused to do things that affect the overall situation due to personal interests, so I would do it?" -
