Chapter 544 Life and Death


Cangshan is like the sea, and the setting sun is like blood.

When the Feilong Army from the northeast appeared on the battlefield, Zhao Yun, holding an apricot-yellow battle flag in his hand and riding a flying horse, dug into Wuhuan's side.

When the Wuhuan people's royal flag and Chanyu's head were spread to all directions on the battlefield. When the Wuhuan people on the south bank of the Daling River had no way to break through, they knelt down and surrendered.

This battle is over.

In the last sunset, the Taishan army officers and soldiers who had victoriously driven to the north once again surrounded Zhang Chong. They all raised their gains and expressed the highest respect to their king.

After Zhang Chong won another great victory in his life, he was full of pride:

"Gentlemen, today's honor belongs to everyone! After this battle, I will cast gold again to commemorate our bloody battle!"

The officials once again shouted:

"My great king, ten thousand years! Ten thousand victories! Ten thousand blessings!"

The shouts were like ocean waves, making the Wuhuan people who were prostrated on the ground bend even lower.

At the front, Li Hu, the leader of the Feilong Army, avoided the melee during the battle and rushed directly into the open Liucheng.

Liucheng was leaderless and empty of troops, unable to resist the Feilong Army's attack.

In this way, before dark, Longxing's place, which had been run by the Wuhuan people for more than a hundred years, was captured before it could lead the Wuhuan people to flourish.

And what about the Wuhuan people? It can be said that there is no way to heaven and no way to earth.

The retreat route to western Liaoning in the northeast was cut off by the Feilong Army. To the east and south, it is surrounded by mountains and impassable roads.

These Wuhuan people had no place to run, so they had no choice but to surrender to the Taishan Army in waves.

Because it was almost dark, the Taishan Army did not carefully count the prisoners and kill them. But in this battle, not many Wuhuan people were able to escape. It can be said that they were all beaten.

Zhang Chong understood very well that the reason for such great results was not only the timely appearance of the Central Route Army and the North Route Army led by him, but also the more important reason was the hard work of Xu Huang and the Feihu Army.

Without Xu Huang and others digging here and holding the Wuhuan people from retreating to western Liaoning, even if they defeated the Wuhuan people, they would not have such a great result.

Therefore, Zhang Chong personally welcomed Xu Huang and others down the mountain to share the joy of this great victory with the brothers.

The hard battle in Longshan made a tough-minded man like Xu Huang lose weight, become darker, and smell bad.

Xu Huang's lips were chapped due to long-term dehydration. When he saw Zhang Chong that day, he felt ashamed.

This man from Hedong still thinks that his recklessness caused his troops to go deep into the army alone.

Indeed, Xu Huang was reckless.

Fortunately, his coach was Zhang Chong, who was extremely experienced on the battlefield. He was able to take advantage of the situation and adjust his strategies and tactics in a timely manner, which turned what was originally a recklessness and defeat into the winner of this battle.

But this still cannot erase the hard work of Xu Huang and the officials of the Flying Tiger Army, and the bloody price they paid for this victory.

Zhang Chong smiled, hugged Xu Huang, and took him with him to greet the cheers of the troops.

Zhang Chong said proudly:

"Our army has the flying tiger general Xu Huang. I wonder who in the world can compare with him."

A group of officials shouted, even took off their sleeves and raised their arms:

"Xu Huang! Xu Huang!..."

The cheers shook the sky and the earth, disturbing the nearby birds and animals.

But who let this valley belong to the victor at this moment, to the Taishan Army.

The whole army cheered Xu Huang's glory, which naturally made other generals envious, but their personal expressions were different.

Zhao Yun was full of longing. Although their Feilong Army arrived late in this battle, they blocked the Wuhuan people's retreat. Zhao Yun himself also killed three Wuhuan commanders and six palace warriors in this battle.

The blood of the enemy chief dyed his horse's spear red, and he drank heavily.

So Zhao Yun's eyes kept on working hard.

Li Hu didn't care even more, because he took the biggest advantage in this battle and won Liucheng.

Compared with Xu Huang's bitter persistence in Longshan, so many brothers were killed and injured. And he, Li Hu, took down Liucheng without spending a single soldier. This was a complete victory.

So he looked directly at the person who should be most miserable in this battle, Xi Shen.

But contrary to Li Hu's expectation, he did not see regret on Xi Shen's face, but a special expression.

The expression was so complicated that Li Hu couldn't understand the meaning.

But Li Hu didn't want to take the trouble to guess. He ignored Xi Shen and started cheering and shouting with everyone.

We, Lao Li, still know how to be gregarious, otherwise Lao Li will look stingy.

In fact, Li Hu didn't know that Xi Shen was in a state of confusion at this moment.

This battle was won as expected, just as Xi Shen said before crossing the river, this battle must be won!

But he didn't know whether Zhang Chong had discovered his inner secrets. He didn't dare to show it, and he didn't dare to think about it.

At this moment, he stiffly agreed with the enthusiasm present, but could not see the complicated and undecided look in his subordinate Wu Xian's eyes.

……

What was originally exciting and soul-stirring has come to an end with the end of the battle.

But after entering Liucheng, as news came one after another, Zhang Chong discovered that the excitement was yet to come.

First, after Taton's head was taken care of, it was identified by the surrendered Wuhuan chieftains.

But the chiefs said that the head was not Taton, but Taton's younger brother Zamba.

How is this possible?

How did a good Taton turn into a Zamba?

Didn’t you see the bag being dropped? At first, Zhang Chong thought that these Wuhuan people were unwilling to give up and tried to use Tadun's survival as a way to gather Wuhuan people's hearts later.

Zhang Chong has seen this method many times.

All leaders and heroes who are popular among the ethnic groups will never die. Even if you are really dead, you can still appear at any time.

This is the reason why the name "Third Prince Zhu" will last for three dynasties in the future.

But later, when they kept looking for prisoners to confirm, without any collusion, they all said in unison that it was Zamba.

This makes things complicated.

Is this Taton so decisive? Before the war, he asked his younger brother to take his place in the battle and then ran away?

Realizing that Taton might not be dead yet, Zhang Chong knew that things were in trouble.

Just as he had worried before, Tadun had a deep prestige in the hearts of the Wuhuan people. Even if he had just one name, it could cause a lot of turmoil, let alone if the real person was still alive.

Therefore, Zhang Chong issued an urgent order, asking Zhao Yun to select those who were still strong among the hundred men, and to pursue Taton's traces now.

Although Zhang Chong hated such twists and turns, he could only accept it and solve the problem quickly.

But just when Zhao Yun had selected his pursuit team and was about to ask Zhang Chong for orders to attack, another piece of news came.

I saw Guo Zu, who was responsible for sorting out King Wuhuan’s tent, telling Zhang Chong with a serious face:

"Your Majesty, we just found Taton's body under the king's couch."

It turned out that when Guo Zu and others were registering the account of King Wuhuan, after removing the white wolf skin couch, they found that the land under the couch was new soil, as if it had just been dug out.

So Guo Zu hurriedly asked someone to dig it up, and a corpse was found.

Later, the Wuhuan chiefs identified the corpse as Wuhuan Chanyu Taton.

When Zhang Chong heard this, he felt a little dizzy.

The twists and turns are too fast!

I thought Taton was beheaded, and then his brother. I thought Taton escaped, and he was found buried on the king's couch.

When Taton was brought to Zhang Chong, Zhang Chong saw this Wuhuan hero for the first time.

In Zhang Chong's view, when the Han Empire collapsed, the Wuhuan people were indeed the nomadic people with the best chance of taking over the north.

This nation has learned too many things in following the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years.

Chinese system, emphasis on population, strong military, and unique geographical location. These can provide impetus for the Wuhuan people to take off.

But whether in this world or in the original plane, this process of the Wuhuan people was interrupted. Maybe it’s true!

But this still does not hinder the fact that the Taton in front of him is indeed a person.

Zhang Chong looked at Taton's majestic body and saw many emotions such as anger, surprise, doubt, disbelief, etc. expressed on his face.

Looking at the wounds, there are two.

One on the upper arm and one on the lower back. Obviously the latter is the fatal injury.

Knowing how Taton died, the next question is, who killed Taton?

While Zhang Chong was still thinking, Xu Huang, who had already washed and eaten, suddenly thought of something and reported to Zhang Chong:

"Your Majesty, when our army was trapped in Longcheng, that boy Ma Chao asked a former general of the Zhenbei Army to deliver a message to me, and then he ran away. I don't know if this matter in Taton has anything to do with him."< br>


When Zhang Chong heard about Ma Chao, he really thought that he might have done this, because he was such a person.

So, Zhang Chong asked Cai Que, who was in charge of the collision:

"Where is that boy Ma Chao?"

……

Ma Chao is very depressed.

While a group of generals enthusiastically showed off their martial arts, Ma Chao could only huddle in a corner and remain silent.

Because those honors had nothing to do with him, Ma Chao. As the king's personal subordinate, General Hengchang, he was absent from the entire war, and he even failed to do the military affairs he was supposed to be responsible for.

Therefore, Ma Chao could only shrink his horn and watch others blowing each other's horns.

At this time, there was a general who was as surprised as if he suddenly discovered Ma Chao:

"Hey, isn't this our Jinhu? The king personally gave him the title. How many of our generals have such an honor?"

It turned out that Zhang Chong and General Hengchang suddenly encountered a tiger during a safari, and then Ma Chao jumped out and killed it with a bow and arrow!

For this reason, Zhang Chong specifically gave Ma Chao his brocade robe and Shu embroidery and called him "Brocade Tiger".

General Hengchang has been jealous of this for a long time, and he is deliberately looking for trouble at this time:

"Then our Jinhu, how many people will be captured and beheaded this time? I am mediocre, so I will capture ten people and behead six. You are ten times more powerful than me. Not to mention hundreds of people captured and beheaded, there must be dozens of people."


These people present had never seen Ma Chao during the entire war, so of course they knew that he had achieved nothing.

So everyone burst into laughter.

Even Ma Chao's younger brother Ma Dai was a little ashamed and lowered his head.

But only Ma Chao didn't take it seriously. He still sat there with a carefree look and wanted to speak boldly.

But I heard Cai Que’s voice coming from outside:

"Is Ma Chao here? Your Majesty declares to you."

As soon as he said this, all the generals present looked at Ma Chao jokingly.

Now, let’s see if you die!
