Stone gate barrier.

Amid the long horns, nearly a thousand Xiongnu people slowly withdrew from their positions and ended their futile attacks for a day. After a hard fight, they lost more than half of their losses, but they still failed to successfully break through the first position of the Han army. All they could do was spit out with hatred and curse for a few days to vent the hatred in their hearts.

The Han army occupied the cliffs on both sides, facing high ground, with strong bows and crossbows and arrows as rain, making the Huns unable to even lift their heads. The attacks of two days were not progressing except for the casualties of three or four thousand people.

When Li Guang learned that the Xiongnu Shanyu led 40,000 main cavalry to chase after him, although he was a little regretful, he still identifiably retreated the Shimenblock. Halfway through, he met Wei Qing. Wei Qing did not dare to be careless, and retreated quickly with Li Guang, and at the same time informed Han Anguo of the news.

Han Anguo immediately led the infantry to Shimenzhu to form an array, seized favorable terrain, built fortifications, and successfully stopped the Huns. In terms of positional offense and defense, the Han army had an unrivaled advantage in the Huns.

Seeing the Huns retreating, Han Anguo also ordered the Jin Dynasty to withdraw his troops, ended the day's battle, and summoned the generals to discuss matters.

Li Guang, Wei Qing and others rushed to Han Anguo's tent. Li Guang set up a battalion, which was far away. When he arrived, Wei Qing, Gongsun Ao and others had already arrived. Seeing Li Guang entering the tent, only Wei Qing stood up to greet him, and Gongsun Ao and others pretended not to see him.

They had a lot of opinions about Li Guang. After working hard for a few days, Li Guang finally took the result away. It was not easy for anyone to feel good about this. What's more, Gongsun Ao and others believed that they were close ministers of the emperor. Whether it was Cheng Bushi or Han Anguo, they treated them very well, but Li Guang did not take them into account, but also robbed them of their merits. This made them very unhappy and they would say a few unpleasant words from time to time.

Li Guang disdained them at all. Facing Wei Qing, he just nodded proudly and turned to Han Anguo.

"Han Gong, I'm so anxious to gather the generals. Can you take action?"

Han Anguo nodded, and although he did not get up to greet him, he also stood up and reached out to signal. "General Li. Sit."

Li Guang took the seat calmly. Although Han Anguo was the censor, he was the well-deserved main force among the three armies. He has made the most military achievements at present, and he has enough capital to sit side by side with Han Anguo.

"General Li, the situation is urgent at the moment. I am worried that General Cheng's troops will not be able to stop the Youxian King, so I want to send some cavalry to support him."

Li Guang nodded and agreed.

Everyone knew that this battle was coming to an end and the time for the decisive battle was coming. Whether they could occupy Henan as expected depends on whether they could repel the main force led by Shanyu. Although the Han army is currently in a favorable situation, the number of Huns cavalry has an absolute advantage. As long as they seize the opportunity, they will rush over like a flood and destroy all the victory.

Until the last moment, no one dared to say that the Han army was the winner. There were too many things that were defeated by the Huns in the end.

The hearts of the Han soldiers were heavy, and the cavalry advantage of the Huns was like a big stone blocking his chest, making them breathless.

This pressure even suppressed the conflicts caused by the struggle for merit within the Han army and maintained the fragile unity of various Han army units. If the Huns cannot be repelled, no matter how great military achievements are, they will be gone. What is the significance of fighting forever?

As for the current situation, the Han army has obvious advantages in Shimenzhu, with 20,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry. Not only is it more than enough to defend, but the counterattack power is not weak. However, Cheng Bushi's troops cannot do it. He only has 20,000 infantry, but he faces 40,000 elite cavalry in the Youxian King's troops, and the baggage supply is insufficient. It cannot last long. Once Cheng Bushi's defeat, the Youxian King invades Henan and Shimen Zhan is attacked from both sides and will definitely not be able to defend it.

On the contrary, if the Youxian King's troops could be repelled, they could threaten the Shanyu's retreat and force him to retreat, the situation would be very good for the Han army.

The helping process has become a winner.

"Who will Mr. Han send to support General Cheng?" Li Guang said, looking at Gongsun Ao and others calmly, with a slight choking corner of his mouth, a little disdainful. He had always seen the provocations of these young juniors, but because of his identity, he did not argue with them in person.

Han Anguo saw it and sighed secretly. "Please come, just to discuss with General Li."

Li Guang smiled slightly. "Would you like to rush for help? Of course, cavalry must be used. In terms of strength, Prefect Feng and General Guard have more than me, so why not let them go?"

Feng Yannian, the prefect of Yanmen, lowered his head and pretended not to hear it. Although he had 10,000 cavalry, he was the weakest among the three cavalry, both in terms of the number of war horses and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry. Moreover, Wei Qing was sent by the emperor to make meritorious contributions, so he did not have the courage to compete with Wei Qing for merit. Even if he was sent to help Cheng, he would at most be a subordinate general and could not become the chief general.

Gongsun Ao and Zhang Cigong exchanged a look, blinked their eyes, showing a little pride. In their opinion, Li Guang said this very well, and their anger in the past few days finally achieved their goal. Gongsun Ao pulled Wei Qing's sleeve and signaled him to ask for orders.

Wei Qing pushed Gongsun Ao's hand away and bowed long. "Han Gong, Qing thought it would be better for General Li to lead troops to support. Regardless of military position, military experience, or combat power of his troops, General Li is a well-deserved main force."

Han Anguo refused to comment and turned his eyes to Li Guang. Li Guang smiled and looked sarcastic. "General Wei has been too rewarded, but Li can't afford it. It doesn't matter if I work harder, I'm afraid that someone will not accept it, and have complaints in his heart, which will ruin the major affairs of the court."

Gongsun Ao was furious. Who was Li Guang talking about? He still couldn't know? He was retorting, but Wei Qing stopped him with his eyes. He was furious, but he could not confront Wei Qing in person, and his face was so angry that he looked blue.

Wei Qing bowed and said, "General, don't worry. We all want to obey the general's orders and dare not make any mistakes."

Li Guang glanced at Gongsun Ao, Zhang Cigong and others, and snorted: "Han Gong, where is your opinion?"

Han Anguo said lightly: "It's so good. General Wei's troops were originally General Cheng's subordinates, and now it's time to follow General Li to help General Cheng. General Li is a famous general who has been famous for a long time. Although General Wei has just passed the battle formation, he is a rare young hero. If you join hands, you will definitely defeat the Right Xian King. I'm waiting for your good news."

Li Guang laughed and stood up. "Then I'll go and prepare. General Wei, you should hurry up. Rescue soldiers are like putting out fires, but you can't be neglected." After saying that, he left without waiting for Wei Qing to speak.

"It's outrageous!" Zhang Cigong was furious and drew his sword. "I killed this old man!"

"Shut up!" Wei Qing shouted loudly. "How can you be so arrogant in front of Mr. Han? If you don't want to, you will stay and don't have to accompany you."

"I" Zhang Cigong was embarrassed and speechless. How could he make contributions with Han Anguo? He just couldn't stand Li Guang's arrogance and wanted to vent his anger for Wei Qing, but he didn't expect Wei Qing to be so weak. He was so angry that he threw the knife on the ground and said nothing.

"Wei Qing is incompetent, please forgive me." Wei Qing signaled Gongsun Ao to pull Zhang Cigong out, and repeatedly apologized to Han Anguo.

Han Anguo stood up, bypassed the case, and stroked Wei Qing's back. "General Wei, I know that although you are young, you know the general and are the people around His Majesty. I believe that the importance of this battle is very clear. Don't ruin the important affairs of the court because of a momentary intent. It is naturally good to care for your subordinates, but there are rules in the army. The stigma of not controlling your subordinates will also affect your career. Remember, remember."

Wei Qing felt a stern and hurriedly bowed to salute. "Thank you for reminding you that Qing is remembered in your heart."

Wei Qing arrived at his big tent, Gongsun Ao, Zhang Cigong and others were still there. As soon as he saw Wei Qing entering the tent, Gongsun Ao said, "Zhongqing, when will we still be bullied by Li Guang? Last time he stole our merits, he should give it back to us this time? He gave it all, why are you still unwilling to accept it? Are you afraid? If you have brothers support you, what are you afraid of?"

Wei Qing gave everyone a cold look. "Do you know what the consequences are if the army is not strict?"

Gongsun Ao was stunned, speechless, hesitated for a while before saying awkwardly: "Han Gong blames you?"

Wei Qing ignored him, sat down on his own, waved his hand, and signaled them to take their seats. "I know you are not convinced, but our strength is limited, which is also a fact. Last time we chased the Huns for several days, we lost more than a thousand people, and our troops are almost the same as General Li. But how many war horses he has and how many war horses we have?"

There was a silence in the tent, with only heavy breathing left. They all knew that Wei Qing was telling the truth. Although everyone was seven or eight thousand, Li Guang's number of war horses was more than 20,000, which was more than twice theirs. Li Guang was a famous general, and he was deeply loved by the soldiers. He was commanded by the elite troops of Longyou. His combat power was definitely not comparable to those of them. Both sides were not on the same level at all.

However, they were sent by the emperor. Could it be that they were bullied by Li Guang so much that they would swallow their anger?

"I admit this because I am not strong enough. However, this old man is too bullying. No matter how hard he is the man next to the emperor, your sister is still the emperor."

"Don't forget that General Li has been a Weiyang Weiweiwei, what is it in his eyes?" Wei Qing interrupted Zhang Cigong. "In terms of ability, can you be stronger than Liang Xiao? Liang Xiao can obey his general orders, why can't we?"

"I" Zhang Cigong was speechless. When it comes to Liang Xiao, how many young people are not angry? He clenched his fists and sighed with hatred. "But I can't swallow this breath. I am almost in a state of anxiety."

"What's the point of being angry? Let's leave it on the battlefield." Wei Qing paused and said, "This battle is of great importance. If anyone dares to act arrogantly and miss a big deal, I can tolerate you, and military law cannot tolerate you. Do you hear it clearly?"

Gongsun Ao, Zhang Cigong and others looked at each other and nodded vigorously.

"Zhongqing, don't worry. We will listen to you what to do. We must let the old man Li Guang see. It is not that old man who is old must be capable. When it comes to killing people, who is afraid of whom?"
