Chapter 50, Wind and Snow

The king of Youguli retreated, and the Wusun army took advantage of the situation to cover up. Yanwen led his troops to escape to Dadanyu. The Han army chased 180 miles and killed more than 10,000 people. The king of Youguli was almost defeated, but still let Yanwen run away.

When they arrived here, the troops of the Han army and the right general stopped. The wind and snow here were thick enough to drown the horse's legs, and there was no way to pursue them at all. It was precisely because of this that they had to escape.

Da Kunmo's army cleaned up the battlefield behind and followed him all the way. When they arrived here, they did not dare to do it again.

Da Kunmo smiled and gathered the generals to discuss the king's account. After inventory, this battle was the biggest victory since the expedition. A total of 13,000 people were killed. Because a 10,000 horsemen surrendered, 5,000 people were brought, and a total of more than 300,000 cattle, sheep and horses were captured.

Fu Jiezi was also a little shocked when he heard this. He was also a little confused when he chased him all the way. It was not clear how many people were killed. Now it sounds that this is indeed a great victory.

Wusun's army stopped in this matter. Dakun didn't let people sweep the snow and camp, and temporarily discussed the dispatch of troops. Fu Jiezi took Zhao Xiong, Lu Ming, Huo Yi and Yuantong out to explore the weather. After a moment, his shoulders were a little heavy, and the heavy snow had to fall down, and he had no intention of stopping at all.

Fu Jiezi grew up in Beadi County, which is the standard north, but he has never seen such heavy snow, and he has never seen such a method of snow. As soon as he walked there, he was covered by heavy snow and there was no trace of it. Yuan Tong couldn't help but be ashamed when he saw it and said, "Xiao Fu, look at this situation, Xiongnu Shanyu must have been Trapped in the heavy snow, but if we want to attack, it's not easy for us to have such a heavy snowstorm.

Fu Jiezi said, "That's good. I have never seen such heavy snow. It must have been a hundred years since it was in the territory of the Xiongnu. Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Uncle, we still have to continue to fight this battle!" Such bad weather is enough to seriously damage the vitality of the Xiongnu. Da Shanyu and the left and right sages must have suffered heavy casualties. Such an opportunity is irresistible. If we don't attack now, it will be difficult to have another chance.

Huo Yi also said, "We have been recuperating our Han Dynasty for 20 years before we can attack the Xiongnu on a large scale again. If we miss it, it will be difficult again. Moreover, this time, the five armies are dispatched together. We must assist them anyway and contain Da Danyu in the west. Even if we can't fight against them, we must protect them. It is proved that the Han army in the east can severely damage the Xiongnu army.

Fu Jiezi said, "Huo Yi is right. This battle must be fought, but the question in front of us now is, how can we move forward with such a heavy wind and snow?

Everyone can't help but be dumb.

After a long time, all the people were tired and hungry, so the army hid back to the tent to rest. Because of the defense against the right valley Li Wang's counterattack, there were many soldiers patrolling. Da Kunmo gave the order to die. This night, he had to open one eye when he slept!

Fu Jiezi couldn't think about it. He fell asleep in chaos. He woke up several times in the middle of the night. The weather outside was very bright. Fu Jiezi thought it was dawn and got up to go out to inspect. As soon as he came out, he was shocked. A large pile of snow had poured in through the tent door. As soon as he lifted the tent door a little, the tent trembled. After a few times, it collapsed. Fu Jiezi flashed out and was shocked again. The snow outside fell more than ten feet overnight. All the tents were covered by heavy snow, and only one ceiling was exposed outside.

Fu Jiezi was in a mess and rushed to the Han army. The tents of the Han army were also collapsed. Many soldiers were rubbing their hands and feet, but they did not dare to call him. Fu Jiezi saw the company and asked the soldiers to blow the camp and get up. At this time, Zhao Xiong and Lu Ming also got up and organized people to pile up the snow around the tent. Fu Jiezi, Chang Hui and Yuantong took the military order to check the wounded and horses. As a result, they still found that people and horses were frozen to death. Fortunately, there were not many and there were many casualties.

Soon, the whole Wusun camp quarreled. Da Kunmo found the snowstorm and also recruited soldiers to sweep the snow.

Toss until dawn, Da Kunmo invited the generals to discuss the expedition. Fu Jiezi looked at Da Kunmo's intention and was a little hesitant. Chen quickly talked about the interests. Wusun generals did not want to fight again. Fu Jiezi said, "Da Kunmo, although it is difficult now, we want the Xiongnu to live. At that time, if the Xiongnu was allowed to slow down at this time, Dakunmo must have known that it was impossible for our Han Dynasty army to go to war at any time. At that time, if the Xiongnu invaded again, the most suffering would be the people of Dakunmo.

Da Kunmo hesitated and said, "I understand the meaning of the two generals of the Han Dynasty, but how can we attack like this?"

Fu Jiezi gritted his teeth and said, "The sky is ruthless, and there is nothing we can do about it. At this time, whoever can survive will be the owner of this grassland!" Da Kunmo doesn't want to be in the desperate territory, so he must have the courage to look at everything. Blizzard is nothing! Although the snow is big, it is not a knife. If Da Kunmo dares not fight, then our Han army will be the vanguard.

Da Kunmo's face changed several times after listening to it, and finally laughed and said, "General Fu's words are heavy, and we Wusun people have also experienced the scene of knife. This time, Hu Yanqi wants to attack us. If he doesn't want to live up to his wishes, it's our turn to attack him. General Fu, I'm responsible for the army, but I have to care more about how to do it.

Fu Jiezi said, "This snowstorm is too serious. It is impossible for us to go there all. Please don't choose 10,000 elite soldiers to install the best equipment to ensure food, grass and clothing. Our Han army also selects elite soldiers to go on an expedition. Because it is inconvenient to travel, we will give priority to ensuring clothing and food and grass this time. As for horses, you don't need to choose good horses with fast feet, just choose bad horses with strong endurance.

Da Kunmo couldn't help but be surprised. Originally, the number of Wusun soldiers was much less than that of Xiongnu soldiers. Now, according to Fu Jiezi, Wusun soldiers still have to withdraw more than half of them. These thousands of miles have to travel, not to send them to the end, but to death.

After Fu Jiezi finished speaking, he waited for Da Kunmo's attitude. Da Kunmo couldn't make up his mind. General Right said, "Now it seems that this is the only way to do this. Da Kunmo, the soldiers are fine but not many, I think it's feasible.

General Zuo also said, "Da Kunmo, a blind bear who is about to die, a hound can bite him to death. Now the Xiongnu see that there are many people, but in fact they are vulnerable. We have a strong brigade, and we can definitely win a battle! Please give orders from Da Kunmo, and I will be the vanguard!"

Da Kunmo saw that the generals and left and right agreed to go to war, and now he also said, "Okay, this time it depends on the will of the sky to live! It's just that General Zuo is injured, and I'm really reluctant to part with him. General Zuo suffered a defeat and was eager to find a scene. What's more, this time he was looking for a decisive battle with the Xiongnu. This will be the glory of his life. He hurriedly said, "Small injuries are not in the way."

The right general came out and said, "Da Kunmo, let me be the vanguard this time. General Zuo has an arrow wound on his shoulder. The most taboo thing is to freeze, or it's better to rest." Da Kunmo laughed and said, "That's good. Then General Right will be the general. General Zuo will follow me when he recovers from his wounds.

General Zuo wanted to say more, and Da Kunmo stopped and said, "That's it. It's a great achievement for General Zuo to bring my soldiers back safely. I don't want to see a soldier have an accident on his way home.

General Zuo saw that Da Kunmo was cautious and had to respond.

The left and right generals ordered their own troops to choose generals, and Fu Jiezi also returned to the camp by himself. Originally, he wanted to hand over the wounded and sick to Zhao Xiong or Lu Ming to take them back, but the two could not fight, and neither of them wanted to go back. Huo Yi was generous. Unlike his uncle Huo Qubing, he was as enthusiastic about fighting. He came to the Western Regions to see the customs, so he did not fight for this. After Qiu Gongye, Fu Jiezi handed over the rest to Huo Yi and brought them back. Because Huo Yi was young, Fu Jiezi was worried. Yuan Tong laughed and said, "I'll go back with Huo Yi. I can't stand the tossing of this strong wind and snow.

Fu Jiezi knew that this battle was either invincible or a great achievement. Yuantong was not a man in officialdom, so he was not greedy for this. Although Fu Jiezi himself did not care about this, he couldn't help but be excited when he thought that he wanted to fight Da Danyu.

This is the glory of a soldier's life.

Lu Ming and Yuan Tong are the most familiar and dare to joke, saying, "Real people are not afraid of the cold here. They must be thinking about the warmth at home." Fu Jiezi knew that Lu Ming was talking about Su Wei and couldn't help laughing, "Since it's better for you to go back, it's better. By the way, thank you to your wife for me. Now the relationship between Yin Yin and Gunia is much better, and it must be due to you."

Yuan Tong smiled and answered.
